What is ASMR? It is both a sensation and a medium.
ASMR stands for Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response and is the current, non-scientific name given to the feeling characterized as a pleasurable tingling sensation felt in the head, scalp, back and other regions of the body in response to visual, auditory, tactile, olfactory, and/or cognitive stimuli, such as crinkling bags, hand movements, whispering, personal attention or watching someone perform a task. It's like goosebumps, but much more pleasant.
ASMR videos are meant to intentionally help induce this sensation, also referred to as "tingles", but also provide a relaxing, calming, soothing, therapeutic and even entertaining experience for the viewer.
Many people who do not experience ASMR still enjoy the videos for their calming and sleepy effect.
12:50 well, I'd say my favourite toe(s) would be my two big toes, since they're the ones doing a lot of the work of holding me up, although it's quite a close race, because without the rest of my toes I'd still probably fall over every two steps, plus, my smallest toes are just kinda cute compared to the rest of the other ones, because the rest are just awkwardly long (I'm exaggerating just for comedic effect, I'm not actually insulting my own toes), another thing is that even though I say my favourite toes are my two big toes then i don't really show it, because lately they've been taking a beating because the little black rubber thingies on the rugby field I play on get into my shoes and burn the top layer of the skin on these two toes (mainly), so really, honestly, I couldn't say, it really is one of the toughest questions I've been ever asked.
Why does this comment have only 4 likes? Mine included ofc love you bby
I have a double jointed toe it looks fucked up.
me too thanks
Kiko Tanto s
That pinky toe is completely useless. I can't even get it to grip the grouse. We have evolved out of its use.

Henrique Kenzo exactly my thoughts haha
just like the thought of death itself
Henrique Kenzo even though i slept like a baaaaaby but what you said is true

Unless you already figure it all out for yourself and now you can chill while others struggle. XD
I love it when Rift collabs.

Tyler McCormick I agree
He must have had countless unoriginal ideas but made them original
Tyler McCormick Well put, sir. An astute observation!
Hahaha... I hope it doesn't happen right now
I love the way he pronounced "comfortable"
Hey, I just checked out your Liquid Shaking video. It's not bad at all! I like the sounds a lot and you seem confident. One thing I noticed is the "popping" effect from your voice/breathing. You might want to consider a pop filter for your microphone.
You're definitely the youngest ASMR creator I've seen. Honestly this might turn some people away, but I encourage you to keep going! Have fun. And ignore any trolls who try to mess with you.

"Who are you?"
*writes down: subject doesn't have a fucking clue*
ER: What is the meaning of life?
Me: 42!
ER: And please refrain from...
Me: Too late!
nibindringiel i did the exact same thing!
Don't Panic mate
Great book :)
That doesn't work though.
42 is the answer to/meaning of Life, the Universe, and Everything.
Life by itself would therefore be something _less than_ 42.
Crap where is that from? I can’t remember lol
6:40
Are we truly free?
"No not really"
Proceeds to write like 2 pages of my answer
HappyNoodle same.

He read your mind
I want the mannequin to tap its fingers, just once.
Brian Hobbs thats some Anabelle type of shit
what mannequin?
Dude, now I want that too^^
Kinda scary
Do enough drugs and it may
Pop a Xan and it happens. XD
These are the questions that got me out of a darker time in my life a couple years ago, there's still one I haven't figured out though; is it really possible for humans to live without ketchup and mustard 🤔🤔🤔
ObviouslyASMR I've lived without both for years
Relish
ObviouslyASMR the real questions we should be asking are *what if you don't get shown the car fax?,what if life was just like the sims and someone is making us do the things we do?,what if we had a bone pizza?, dogs,cats or raccoons* and *whats is love? And will a baby hurt you?*
ObviouslyASMR yes
U gay dutch
It is my belief that life is meaningless, but rather than that being frightening or depressing I find it liberating. If life has no inherent meaning or purpose, if nothing has any inherent value, the the only value and purpose that remain are what we humans ascribe to things. This leaves us all the architects of our own reality, the masters of our own morality. What you think is important, is. And what you don't, isn't. And so we give our own lives meaning by doing the things we love, and needn't worry about our purpose ever again for it is intertwined with our very desires.
Also this point of view means I get to be a lazy piece of shit so long as it pleases me to do so, which clearly makes it the superior philosophy.
this comment is criminally unnoticed
I concur.
theviewerofart
*Camus* *intensifies*
wow... exactly my thoughts
That right there is the beauty of optimistic nihilism, and I entirely agree.
Make a video labeled "First time ASMR" and its just the mannequin in front of a camera alone for 20 minutes while you made noises with tinfoil, cardboard, and rubber really slow off screen. And if you really want to make it good, make the camera slowly pan in towards the mannequin's face as the video progresses.
This video should have featured Dave as the character and been titled *"Questions: Deep ones with a Deep One"*
David O Dis.
Whoever did the subtitles, you're a legend
Never seen a person who stares back into your soul without blinking. Its creepy.
Ever watch Daithi de Nogla?
+Sans The Skeleton JOOOEEEEEE
You have clearly have never seen a hungry puppy. XD
Yeah. And the guy in the left is pretty creepy too
absolutely
Don’t move or blink for 34 minuted and 6 seconds if you’re being held hostage!
To be honest, the thought of not having an afterlife had always bothered me, especially if I died an early death, but then when I sort of began to believe that humanity's purpose in life was to make some form of difference, I realised that in my death, regardless of how small it would be, I would still be doing the same thing I lived for. And one of my teachers in high school said that we live to die, and for some people that is haunting, but it's the idea that we should work to have no regrets in death, to do all we have to do in life so we can move on.
Dude...go to sleep
Dude there is an afterlife we're just here as a matter of a test. Search more about religion Islam"
@@sou-chan sure bud. And you know this how exactly?😭😭
Okay, you need to start uploading the list of the questions you're asking. This would be fun to ask a friend!
*ER asks life existential question*
Me: Um, well I'm not too sur-
ER: Okay *already writing down my answer*
Me: WAIT
Enters video perfectly relaxed and calmed.
Leaves video with a personal crisis and existential angst.
A lot of ASMR is very hit or miss for me and repeated watching of the same videos dulls their effects for me but your Question/Interview videos always hit that spot.
I am so glad i was able to collab with you Mr. Rift
I'm sorry i didn't blink the whole video. I know it was weird, but i was kind of nervous
After watching this i'm going to sleep...
For eternity.
Aye still sleeping?
Still sleeping?
@@m-mori I think he gone bruh
@@jakupi1304 How are you today?
Buddy? You still sleeping?
Uncle E, just want you to know I'm a long-time fan and that your videos help me through my darkest moments. Keep doing what you do. Thank you.
So I decided to try and listen to the video whilst maintaining eye-contact with the associate. It adds a whole new feel to it all. Suffice to say I didn't make it through the whole thing, got far too intense and pretty damn scary. See how you guys do.
I really love how watching with the captions turned on sometimes gives you little bonus jokes. Your videos always make me smile 😊
I am in class right now.
I should be listening to my class. I really should. University is something serious.
...Fuck it ER uploaded, I'm gonna sleep.
Cat Commander Cactus Same, but to me is my teacher that makes me sleep.
Cat Commander Cactus i highly recommend you to keep watching ER he has some serious KNOWLEDGE

Cat Commander Cactus me tooo
Dear Mr. Rift.
After seeing you give us a little peak into Margaret's character i have given a little thought into taking your world of Arkham and writing a story about it, obviously with my own twists on it. But i first wanted to see if you as the creator of these characters was alright with it.
Much love, Jokas.
I swear to god one of these days that mannequin is gonna blink or move an arm, and on that day I shall thoroughly shit my pants 😁
Tom Davidson summer? Over.
Titties? Out.
Pants? Shitted.
So like I’m gonna just spill all the beans here. I’m a very lonely person. I have nobody in my life that I feel comfortable around to even just tell them about my day. I don’t know what’s wrong with me but I think I just annoy people, or don’t open up enough or something, so no one really stays in my life or has grown close. but I’ve been watching ASMR for 8 years and whenever I turn on one of ER’s videos I feel like I’m with a real friend… someone who’s always been there through all the years and who I feel comfortable with because I’ve learned his quirks and I know he’s not here to threaten me in anyway because he is genuinely a good person with a creative and intelligent mind like no other… thank you Rift for being my friend and I know you don’t know me but it’s always really comforting to have you around on those nights when I have nobody to turn to
I literally love this guys videos, he simply never runs out of ideas.
This is all i've wanted out of an ASMR video. This is what i've been looking for for so long. Thank you so much.
How the *fuck* am I supposed to *relax* when your *sign* is upside down?! 😡
B. Jr. u should have never commented that
Video ruined
B. Jr. I think its supposed to be that way
B. Jr. I was very triggered when I noticed it.. but I forgave him as I went to sleep regardless
It's not upside down, we're sitting on the ceiling
A deep soul needs to relax with a deep video
I watched this before work and I feel like it's put me in a very nice positive mindset for the day. Thank you e.r.!
Finally someone with deep thinking, intelligence and wit.. I really love these type of questions you are presenting...i have a lot to say regarding these subjects...if i was actually sitting there in front of you, we would actually have a very interesting and deep conversation together..like it!
28:03 Turn captions on 😂
ZacoBro just have em on the whole time it's funny as hell.
Best thing ive seen all day
the doll's face reminds me of Jon Snow lmao
oh dear.. should've gone to SpecSavers
it's the "somebody pissed in my cereal this morning" eyes
I actually use some of these questions as guiding points for my essays in my existential philosophy class lol thanks on behalf of my gpa rift!
I literally thought 42 right when the meaning of life question came up, Rift beat me to it.
Nothing like working on my philosophy class whilst listening to some sweet philosophical asmr
When he asked "what is time?" i was so about to break out into The Tenth Doctor's speech about how people assume it's a series of causes leading to an effect, but however from a non-linear non-subjective standpoint it's a big bowl of wibbly-wobbly, timey-wimey....stuff.
I love questionnaires. keep up the quality content!
-love from saudi arabia
ER: Who are you?
Me: On all level except physical I am a wolf.
I wanna have a beer with this guy! You’re the man!
I actually have a paper on existentialism coming up, and I think your video helped me understand it a bit better.
Absolutely perfect! You're the best ASMR maker by far!
1:06 "Who are you?"
I.AM.THE.SENATE!
Underrated
Love everything about this, except the questions! It's funny to feel equally relaxed and anxious.
"Who are you... underneath it all?"
Tired. I'm just tired
i felt this HARD
your associate got that "fuck, i just shat myself" look on his face
"Why are you here?"
Y'know, that's always something I've wondered. Hell, sometimes I turn to my friend and ask, "Hey, you ever wonder why we're here?"
He usually goes on some long-winded response about how it's one of life's greatest mysteries. Even considers there could be a plan for us and stuff.
HyperHunt621 How're we gonna pick up chicks in a car that looks like that?
HyperHunt621 I always believed that we are here to live; nothing more and nothing less. Living is something that can't be explained and is very much essential to humanity, the only thing essential if you were, and yet we have no factual idea on how we came to be. So I believe that we aren't meant to know and instead we are only here to enjoy life and not understand it.
Lmao A prime example of one person getting the joke and the other taking it seriously. Now that we’ve come so far....
RIP Sheila.
HyperHunt621 lol rvb
The captions make this video all the more enjoyable. Thats some serious level of detail
"Does the tortoise have a purpose?"
Nah, too existential for me
Omg that clipboard writing gives me both tingles from the pencil and that feeling from nails on a chalkboard from the clipboard itself...
I like the way you write over the same line over and over. I really want to see what the paper looked like at the end :)
Just we need to say thanks to the existence of someone so talented like you. Good job like allways!
ER: What's the meaning of life?
Me: 42!
ER: Please restrain from responding with the number 42.
Me: Oh...
@@odysseasandroutsos1821 2 years later, but it's a reference to the hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy.

7:30 "Is it possible for humans to live without condiments?"
F U C K M A Y O
.... I read this as soon as the video played it lmao
TakenAfterMouse LITERALLY my eyes landed on this comment JUST as he was saying it! I had to blink twice lol
I SWEAR I SAW THE MANNEQUIN BLINK
CodCoolerYT I've just looked at it for 2 minutes and... Yeah... It's kinda creepy; but that's the essence of Ephimeral Rift: The line between the things that make you to sleep and the things that will make you have freaking insomnia 😂
Edgar Fernandes Garcia what time?
12thManUnited Art Tutorials I dont know, I just looked at the mannequin for 2 full minutes
CodCoolerYT He is not a mannequin...
CodCoolerYT you probably actually did see the mannequin blink because when we stare at static images for too long our brains get bored and start hallucinating
DAMN you caught me with the monty python answer on the meaning of life question..
"Who are you, under it all?"
I didn't know all that writing translated into "nobody." Lol
I don't know what i love so much about questionnaires but they are like my favourite videos along with plastic crinkle ones
This is the only ASMR content that I actually find relaxing, weird, and cool, all in one package. The Gordon Freeman video was also very good. 10/10 nothing like it
ephemeral rift: What is ur purpose, like do u have one one?
Me: well-
Ephemeral Rift: *OKAY* (proceeds to write down)
Me: *sweating intesifies*
ohhww, I really enjoyed this caption, I watch your channel for years just waiting for that day to arrive. I study my English through your videos, and this caption helps a lot
1:40 who are you underneath it all ...
Me: ... I m just a N****a with a rocket launcher
Your regular voice for these videos are way better 😭
Please make more of these.. Its so unique you cant find it anywhere
Eph, if you need a break anytime, we'll be alright with it. You make very good videos to keep us intrigued.
Nah, I think he likes it at this point. He can't get away from it, he's in too deep
LimitIsIllusion True. True..
this is the q&a i was looking for and it's above my expectations waaaa thank u rift!
Am I the only one who would LOVE to hear his answers to the questions?
I listen to this as a productivity boost
Came here to relax, ended up staring into an existential void. Cheers, Rift.
Why did the chicken cross the road? The age old question that has a dark and mysterious answer. So you see, the chicken obviously crossed the road to get to the other side right? Well seeing as chickens don't tend to be near roads, and certainly don't cross roads terribly often this is a peculiar statement. However when taken as a metaphor, its dark origins are revealed. A chicken is analogous to a coward. Now we come to the crossing the road part, which is strange, but oddly not very metaphoric, but we'll come back to that. And lastly, the other side is frequently referred to as an euphemism for the afterlife. So what we come up with is that the coward crossed the road to reach the afterlife. This literally means that it is a cowardly thing to run into traffic looking to be run over and killed. This was a saying popularized to associate suicide with cowardice. - Terribly sorry if i just ruined your day.
The subtitles in this are great!
Damn this dude really has his shit together, being able to answer all those questions in only a few seconds.
And in the cuff of his sleeve, we see a patient ID bracelet...
Idea for the associate's ASMR video:
Turns out, the Soporific Lampshade Thing was this mannequin all along, and he is here to lure you to sleep once again.
Enjoy your day
Be patient
Breathe deeply
Show gratitude
Be Fearless .
That's what the frame says, behind them, thank you for the lovely word's I'll try my best, and u have a nice day.
A Random soul from Chicago Illinois it’s actually:
Enjoy this day
Be present
Breathe deeply
Show gratitude
Live with intention
Be fearless
THE EVIL WITHIN TWWOOOOOOOO
A Random soul from Chicago Illinois enjoy THIS day not YOUR
The sign behind them is upside down and I love it so much
Holy shit. This is one of my favorite ASMR videos. Next level. You are a creative genius.
Your questionnaires is the most amazing ASMR things in UA-cam, bro
Why did the chicken cross the road? ....
Because it was having a eggstinstantal crisis
You are the best ASMRtist on UA-cam. You are the content king my friend.
Gabe Lewis is exactly the kind of guy who would sit in for a philosophy discussion. His talents and character were unappreciated at Dunder Mifflin.
I just like that the art is hung upside down.
I hope that this guy’s well. I listened to his videos a lot as a kid.
Can we plz get more just questionnaire videos? I just love the pencil sounds + answering obscure questions
these are all really deep and thought provoking questions but there's still one question i have the inability to comprehend and give a reasonable and logical answer to: did it feel good tho?
Rift needs to direct short films or even full length films bet I guarantee with his narratives and styles he would make some majestic films
You begin to wonder if the associate has seen things 😅😅😅
Rift asking all these questions, man I'm just here to relax
And at the end he shows us what he wrote and it’s just a giant 𝕿𝖍𝖊
The mannequin looks like the Stark kid who becomes the three eyed raven in GoT.
You know the expression "this went from zero too a hundred real quick"? Yeah this is the perfect time to use that
1. Light Warrior
2. To help humanity during this time in human history. To help humanity through the shift. To fulfill soul contract.
You gotta love the associates captions, hilarious!
