Fun facts Garfield hates Mondays
Bill explaining why he edits the way he does: "I am insane"
Felt that
Pat? I see you like everywhere
@@bearskeletor7411He's in your walls
I used to watch your streams.
"I don't have a choice" 💀💀💀
Damn Bill Wurtz isn't actually a 2d rectangle? I am suprised.
He's doing his best
i thought he was a dodecahedron to be honest
I can't believe he made such a realistic hologram of Bill wurtz
I think he just transcended the second dimension and became 3D
Wow rude you guys
watching anthony trying to take bill wurtz, a metaphorical being, literally is very entertaining
Ah, this is the description my brain couldn't find. I kept thinking to myself that Anthony was trying to ask him about himself, but he doesn't see himself from his perspective. Almost the same as the way you can't really see your own face, but with the self.
It's like when Genius tried to make him explain his music. He doesn't care about making sense.
Bill is the most authentic representation of an artist in human form. Process? Relative insanity. Works? Irreplicable. General (on camera) demeanor? Loveable yet off-putting in a way that I can only describe as.. whimsical.
This is a man who can make the walls talk back. I love him.
He’s an elf
Hotel? Trivago.
Whimsical isn’t a word I’d think of looking at him but you’re totally right that totally is what it is.
Very true. He’s what I imagine great artists in the history would look like.
I love how Anthony tries to find a deeper meaning in something and Bill is like "I guess lol"
and the exact opposite where Anthony says something off the cuff and bill starts getting into the nitty gritty
Oddly these are exactly the responses I would expect from a man with his intellect and thought processes. 😂
@@WookieWoman I could listen to him talk all day man
@@i_am_mr_meI love that. Like when Anthony mentions his stuff looks like it intentionally looks like it was just rushed out, and Bill is surprised by that.
“Could be” 14:39
Im glad bill wurtz is as unhinged and unpredictable as his videos, he somehow managed to not answer a single question directly.
I was noticing it, truly a great skill to have as a creative person
This is exactly how I saw it, too. I've been entertained, but my head is angled to one side while listening
No answers just a few little breadcrumbs that maybe get you closer to “understanding”
“It’s journal entries?” “Yea, uh, it’s text?”
😅
And i dont think he does it like 150 percent on purpose (maybe partially) but rather i think thats just his way of explaining things, kinda saying things that arent too direct and going into tangents sometimes
When he says, _“I don't think it's a good idea. I would not endorse the idea of doing something that you think other people would like, but you don't like - that's like painting with colors you can't see.”_ that visual metaphor hit me more solidly then anything else I've ever heard for someone describing that sort of endeavour.
Dammit I just commented on this exact quote, but yeah it's one of the greatest statements I've heard in a long time.
I feel like I've heard this before. Nevertheless it's such an amazing metaphor.
I literally read this *as* he said it 😂
Highly agree though
me when i completely agree but also as an artist who is color blind i died a little
Simile
I love how he’s so against working with other people that he’s not even on board with the idea of cloning himself to get multiple parts of a project done simultaneously
Even if its only him he is like "that is so much shit to think about"
But i honestly kinda get it
"Trust no one, not even yourself"
Wurtz knows that he himself could not work with anyone, including a replication of himself.
He's committed
it's also the joy of actually personally carrying out all those parts of the creative process that Bill would likely hate to miss out on by outsourcing to clones with which he doesn't share some kind of consciousness. this was a point that I was surprised & quite sad Anthony seemed to miss
this video is just 26 minutes of anthony struggling to understand bill wurtz’s otherworldly whimsical aura
lol
I imagine this is what an interview with Leonardo da Vinci would feel like. Great interview
hi pookie
Yooooo rekrap
Hi rekrap didnt expect to see you here
oh hey rek 👋
Just dont forget the other ninja turtles
You could hear a bit of pain in Bill's voice when he said "Isn't it heartbreaking to work for 100 years on something and then people think "oh you probably just threw that together."" :(. I'm no psychologist but the more I learn about Bill the more it seems like he suffers from the common problem among artists of tying in a lot of his self worth with the quality of his work. I'm glad Anthony put a positive spin on it afterward.
Except i kind of felt that Anthony made him feel that way, or think that 🤔
@@edo471I think Anthony sees "short and chaotic" as appearing "just thrown together" while Bill creates on an extremely small level of detail - Anthony is seeing a grain of rice with paint on it but Bill is in there with a magnifying glass and a micrometer painting a farm scene.
whenever people around me tell me that my art skill is a "talent," i feel like that. it ignores the hours, the days, the *years* i have spent drawing and learning and practicing, all the art pieces ive discarded and deleted because they weren't what i wanted.
its skill and there's nothing effortless about it!
@@maximumbeesExactly this. I don't feel talented at music, because what people don't see is the hundreds of recordings that never go anywhere, all the ideas floating around in my head that never get out, and how many mistakes I make with each one. I think to people looking in at your work, they see it as a certain threshold you cross to become "good" at something, while we see it as a sky that extends forever with no end, which is what I both love and hate about it.
@@edo471I think Anthony picked up on that and tried his best to counteract and reword what he said. He tried to show Bill that it really is simply that impressive
Bill wurtz is the kind of artist that, if he lived in 1800's, people would look at his art 100 years later and not get it
We still don’t get it now.😆
What?
I was just telling my friend that Bill to me is like Vincent Van Gogh and then I read this comment.. damn true.
Doesn’t have to be the 1800s I imagine if any of his videos are still around 100 years from now people will be confused.
Seeing Bill Wurtz so unfiltered is something I've never seen in my life and think is very cool.
He did another interview a bunch of years ago with Ethan and Hila Kline if you’re interested
@@rickykozak58 but honestly that doesn’t hold a candle to this
the way he talks is so captivating to me. he's very relatable in a strange way even though he's such a different person from me. he gets across his meaning really well. like he says things and i *get it*
@@ConfusedRambutanhe’s got that genuine artist vibe. Not the pretentious “I am an a r t i s t” thing, just a genuinely creative mind.
I can’t believe Anthony managed to get an interview with a real life time traveler
lol
1.9k and 1 reply goes hard
Yea
Anthony: "Would you say its a journal entry?" Bill: "Yeah, it's text?"
It’s the essence of the fact that he isn’t viewing it in any particular way, no particular program, he’s just exploring a medium, text being that medium
@@KnzoVortex thanks for clarifying this for me, it didn't make sense to me before
18:47 I'm just happy to hear Bill say that his life is great. That's all I need to know about his life. And I hope that it continues to be great and he continues to find new and interesting outlets to unleash his creativity.
Anthony: *asks a pretty standard question*
Bill: *gives the most existential, vague answer possible, not even really answering the question that was asked*
Bill is out here on like 2 higher planes of existence than we are and we cant keep up
Which is exactly why he can't fathom working w someone else.
classic INTP
@@josueestrada9522what the FUCK is a nitip
ok so it's not just me then, cool
Mood
How on earth did you even find this man let alone get him into a studio
I didn't realize it before you commented, but that perfectly describes how I feel about it too 😂

@@filmzen281 holy shit you're so right lmao
I was shocked but then i remembered he was on h3 podcast years ago lol

Anthony: so you wanna clone yourself
Bill: **takes it literally**
Anthony: **surprised pikachu face**
His mind is completely chaotic yet he has mastered the ability to harness it for it’s creativity
I love that he says “I don’t understand that” rather than bullshitting a response
17:52
hes so real lmfao
He is a smart guy
the tism shining through
@@xubse too much eye contact and metaphor for that.
17:50 is so relatable
Anthony: Like you want to clone yourself
Bill: *anxiety attack thinking about the logistics*
As if cloning would allow one self to feel the satisfaction of what everyone (you plus the clones) are doing! It was such an insane solution to his "problem", it gave me an anxiety attack as well!
Bill: Cloning still sounds a little too much like working with other people.. idk about that...
Just immediately into how that isn’t doing everything at once that still multiple people doing different task independently
I felt that. But I was also in a separate class to take test.
Dude. It made me go…wtf internal masking. My brain just said ‘the correct answer is - yeah that would make it easier because that’s what people expect you to say and then maybe do a small laugh’.
Wow so relatble right.... like you think of cloning yourself all the time and the logistics of it! OMG.
Bill describing the chords as invisible hands guiding the viewer’s emotions is so enlightening
Very similar to how we speak of it in the media music business (film/TV scoring and the like).
I identify with Bill so much in this interview, the tangents, the existential dread, the cushion on your lap as a soothing mechanism.
yeah he was real as hell for the lap cushion
I remember one day I randomly decided to watch EVERY SINGLE bill wurtz video ever made. 400+ videos start to finish all consecutively. After that, for the entirety of the next week my mind could not handle a single thought without spontaneously breaking out into musical jingle, with no train of thought whatsoever and constant impromptu sound effects. It was glorious. I love this man
he might be part of the reason a lot of my monologues(?) turn into a song out of absolutely nowhere, absolutely love this man he's so awesome
@@catsungdae🎶hey, thanks for checking in, I’m still a piece of garbage!🎶
now imagine actually BEING him. Your week is his entire life lmao
yea im sure that happened
FBI new enhanced interrogation techniques just dropped
God he is just so interesting. An artist, an intellectual, a visionary. I hope he actually has someone in his personal life to tell him that regularly. He deserves it.
He did say his life is great so probably. Everyone needs others, even Bill
YESSS. He's so fascinating, he is one of those people who get asked a question and you don't expect what they're going to say, he seems so random but at the same time everything makes sense. I admire that kind of people
they say the happiest celebrity relationships are the ones you don't hear about (they don't say that but it is true)
lmao the parenthesis. yeah it seems true@@yoda5436
Bill’s a genius, a special, uncompromising talent. The fact that he agreed to the interview feels like a huge compliment to Anthony and the content he puts out. Thanks for making this happen.
"Painting with colors you can't see" is the PERFECT way to describe how artists feel doing something they're not totally invested in.
I’ve never seen his face before but this is exactly how I imagined him
I have seen his face before and this is also exactly how i imagined him
He showed his face in some of his videos.
How have you not seen his face? He literally puts himself in some of his videos .-.
@@HeatherGg15 I never really watched him that much I seen like two of his videos
He physically reminds me of Crispin Glover. Strangely so.
"It is like painting with colors you can't see" that hit so hard
ikr like why did that make me tear up a little? 🥴
For real, I nodded and though "Makes sense"
Genuinely such an interesting interview. Was kinda surprised to see Anthony adapting to Bill’s style of communication over the video 😂
I think that's Anthony's special ability
he's a really good interviewer and has all different types of people on so he knows how to talk to pretty much anyone. he's also really respectful
Watching wurtz talk is just... facinating, the way he delivers his points, his non verbal comms, the confidence in his voice, its like watching the thought process of 5 people, all coordinated and channeled into one person, all just hit the spot!
It's really interesting hearing Bill Wurtz chat like this, the way he speaks and thinks feels so abstract that it makes so much sense how his videos come out the same way
right? I've stumbled across his qna page on his website and etc and I often wonder surely he doesn't talk like this but he does. tis just what hes like isn't that wonderful
Possibly unmedicated but high functioning ADHD. It's a double edged sword. 😂 (Speaking from experience)
@@WookieWoman same, his list of things and wanting to do it all is so ADHD coded lol, like, I have it too. but I mean, some of what he says about controlling every bit seems like an OCD thing too, not diagnosing someone online, tho, obviously
@@jplveigaI got AuDHD vibes, as someone who has both diagnoses, because the control issues is definitely very relatable re: autism, which is often incompatible with how the ADHD makes my brain work as well, and it absolutely does make things like choosing and sticking to one project a bit traumatic because of my conflicting mental processes and needs when it comes to structure vs spontaneity vs predictability/understanding/control vs needing things to be novel and interesting and stimulating
His project work has to be ADHD compressed into diamonds
Autism too!
Bill Wurtz gives me the vibe of a neurodivergent guy with multiple special interests that wants to do everything, and I love it. As someone who's autistic, and had ADHD and anxiety, I relate so much.
Same. I've recently been realizing that I'm very likely undiagnosed autistic, perhaps ADHD as well, and the things he was talking about and the way he was interacting are just so familiar to me.
Yeah big AuDHD vibes
He just like me fr
Wdym had?
@peterlewis2178 just get diagnosed. Don't self diagnose. It's bad for people that actually have it when people that don't have it say they do.
The “make something shorter/smaller” is actually such an amazing piece of advice. I’m going to try that to get myself out of my creative slump.
"Doing things you don't like but that people would like is like painting with colors you can't see"
What a powerful statement

12:50 to 13:00 @@darilight
I love interviews with people such as Bill because you realize just how little you know about them. With so many online content creators and streamers you get to see a lot of their real life personality and experiences. Sure a lot of it is smoke and mirrors but it’s something. Bill has existed for so long but has really only been represented online through his works. It’s so cool to see people such as Bill be on these interviews because you see the more human side of someone who is almost entirely represented by what he made, not who he is.
Agreed, but also, isnt the art people make an even more accurate representation of who they really are deep down? I definetly think so, cause cause art reveals the inner world of a person in such a destilled way
@@liaspooked4980I see where you’re coming from, but people (me) tend to subconsciously view the distillate as the whole thing until they are confronted by the source.
Bill can’t paint the whole picture of his identity in one single video, but each one can give a small window into one pie slice of his being
@@EBjeebies1081 and a interview and seeing how someone interacts with another person is more like a window to their outer personality, the side with other slices of pie we mostly dont see in the person's art.
Bill Wurtz is a true outsider artist, I’m happily surprised he agreed to do this interview, I love seeing the way his brain works
as a music major watching bill wurtz videos, i want him to know that that we DO appreciate the mind-blowingness of the chords and the degree of music theory going into it does not go unnoticed
I've never actually realized how fucking intelligent bill is. He did fucktons of research, recorded his singing, and played every instrument for a five second bit. Also they way he talked about the philosophy of A.I. is just fascinating. thank god someone found this man.
I don't know how to describe it, but this man absolutely looks like what I think an "Artist" looks like in my head
Low key looks like Vision or whoever the actor is I forget
Yeah he’s got Da Vinci vibes
He also kinda looks like Andy Warhol, no?
I really hate to be that person, but like... a white man? HE looks like how I imagined HIM to look, yeah, but saying you think the general term "Artist" gives you this vision is kinda weird ngl! When I imagine any broad craftsman I picture a blank stickman lol. The more I learn about different types of people, the emptier my image of them is. You should really do more research on artists and art movements if Bill is who you picture when you hear the word "artist". Of course that's entirely up to you to do, I'm not the art police. At the very least you could try thinking before you comment....
@@nomoretwitterhandles I’m sure most people in the west picture white people when they think of any person in a role simply because whites are the majority. People in Asian countries probably think of Asian people. It’s goofy but it is what it is. But remember, the original commenter is saying more than Bill’s race and gender. They’re also referring to clean shaven, no glasses, messy hair, more seemingly careless outfit, ya know? But I agree if the person was referring to race it’s weird but expected
I'm utterly addicted to interviews and podcasts with this guy and I love the fact that he's done so many of them this year. Especially in this one, you can clearly see that his muscle of communicating in this live fashion really is growing as he said. This is the best show with Bill so far. Let's just hope he gets that bunch of videos done in the next decade or two...
Yeah lol, it’s funny comparing this interview with the vibe chamber ones
Bill Wurtz's harmony is INSANE. It's literally absolutely bonkers. Like ultra mega jazz levels of complex. It's an absolute time.
the interaction between these two is great. Anthony is really trying to get Bill to elaborate or find the deeper meaning in things Bill's made and Bill's just like "yeah sure, it might be" like he isn't the one that made it 😂
And then Anthony will ask a simple question and Bill will go off on this tangent about all the emotions behind creating something, its like hes doing whatever the opposite of what Anthony wants lmao
12:48 “I would not endorse the idea of doing something you think other people would like but you don’t like. That’s like painting with colors you can’t see.”
What an awesome way to put it.
That whole thing is honestly a quote you could put somewhere, on his Wikipedia probably
He spittin bars 🗣️🗣️🔥🔥🔥
I searched it up, and the only result I got was another time that he said it in another interview 4 years ago. Definitely quote-worthy.
This really spoke to me and gave me a kind of realization about some thing in my life🙌
I might put this as my senior quote, that's how great it is
Bill feels like an actor hired by the real Bill to do this interview for him and he’s making up the answers as he goes
The fact he is expressing so clearly his creative processes and being so open about it makes feel so passionate. You can just see how it is genuine passion, and why it's so unique and special. Wonderful interview indeed, a sincere artist.
Bill's way of talking and interacting is fascinating, but so relateable as someone with ADHD
As an AuDHD person yes 😭
He 100% is neurodivergent
He very much is what I imagine a certain type of nerdy autistic kids at my alternative school grew up to be like lol
As someone also with adhd, i get it. I may not ever get him and how he views everything, but i get it.
I think he’s giving more autistic vibes, especially the hyperfocus, hyperfixation and stuff (Ik that can also be an adhd thing)
Quick reminder about Betterhelp's controversial past and also how they're selling your information to advertisers.
Not hating on getting money but I just don't trust the company
I think the same thing everytime I have to skip their sponsorships on any yt channel...
It's so disappointing that people keep accepting sponsorships from them
Big whoop, every company sells your information to advertisers. Privacy doesn't exist anymore. Not to say this isn't bad, just far from exclusive to a few companies.
@tylerfortniteninjablevins8360 the problem with them doing it is they offer therapy so the information is much more sensitive than what other companies have
damn this feels like hearing the god of adhd or neurodivergence talking honestly and it's amazing. I worship bill wurtz now
this entire video i've been sitting here like "oh. oh he's neurodivergent too. oh"
YES.
this is the best comment I have ever read, thank you
“that is what chords are supposed to do” got me crackling so hard
I've seen many people try, but NO ONE captures the musical essence, lightheartedness, and whimsical nature of Bill Wurtz. Truly one of a kind.
he has such an incredible glut of harmonic prowess
"I've tried thinking about considering it, and I can't." 🤣
Bill is very interesting and has a strange ability to pull you in just by talking. I quickly got entranced listening to him. It's like he has so much going on in his head he has to go fast to even begin getting it all out.
Anthony: *nodding* _immediately_ *shaking head* wtf are you saying?
hes so real for that
I love bill wurtz SO MUCH. He is incredibly inspiring to me. His mind is a place I would love to get lost in. He's so incredibly bright, esoteric, and abstract. His attention to details, his intricate understanding of the foundation of his craft, I just, admire him so much.
i love how anthony kept saying that his style looks like doesn't care and bill was getting offended because that's all he can do lol
genius title
Anthony inspires me.. My parents said if i get 70K followers They'd buy me a professional camera for recording..begging u guys , literally
Begging...
Damn… you’re close
fr like way so everyone knows who he is
It was the only option for a video like this
10:24 gotta say, as a (former) music major, i am ALWAYS blown away by bill wurtz’s chords
they're so smooth you don't even notice that they're absolutely bonkers and like, how the heck does he do it
Agreed, dude's built different
What I really appreciate about his chords and chord choice is that they’re always somehow perfect. The mood of the chord matches the mood of the scenario. The word choice makes perfect sense with the chord. It is comparable to how a chef always picks the perfect ingredient.
I’m a current music major, shits insane
16:27 "The problem is that the selection process is so scary because you're stuck with that one thing" I felt that.
This interview is so cool and Bill Wurtz is truly a once in a generation artist, but I also want to give Anthony kudos for how he carried out this interview. He really did his best to form a coherent path through Bill’s answers, while creating a space where he can ramble out his answers and drop the most beautiful quotes about artistry without being interrupted. It’s something we already see a lot of in his other interviews, but it’s a special treat when it comes to an interviewee as rare as Bill Wurtz 🙏🏾
It's so interesting how bill wurtz talks like how he writes his lyrics. They seem so sporadic, but there's definitely this is overall meaning to what he's saying.
I adore him so much. He's so engaging and entrancing when he speaks. His whole aesthetic and persona and existence is beautifully mystifying.
aw thats really well written
I really agree
He gives me a Van Gogh/john green vibe, I love it
what an enigma of a man.
he makes me think of stuff i didn't know i needed to think about.
a true artist.
"sometimes i like to stand in a field and cry abt how big and small the field is at the same time" i fucking love that
Nobody said that
@@notveryniceatall wdym they literally read out bill's diary
craziest fucking thing we could've gotten. i love knowing that most of us here were all there when that video dropped. such a wild time dude. last week of high school, all my friends were moving away, the bittersweet knowledge that my adult life was starting was so strange and new to me
and now i still have no idea what I'm doing 💀
the secret no one tells you, is that doesn't go away. no one knows what they are /actually/ doing. just continue living life to the best of your ability :)
I'm going to be a 40 year old as a college freshman next year. I still have no idea what I'm doing on a day-to-day scale, but with the wisdom I've gained, I have a general idea of what I'm doing in life finally. As a parent, I still have no idea what I'm doing, but at least I can use my wisdom to guide my children without pushing them. 🤷♀️❤️

I think there is an old h3h3 podcast episode with him if you’re interested!

@@namantherockstarshut up
I can't be the only one who has a crush on this man, he's so talented and I love his work. History of the entire world is like one of my all time favorite videos. I also love the way he speaks and presents himself. I hope he continues to live a great life, he deserves it!
Oh my god you definitely aren’t, I was fully in love with him for such a long time hahaha. It’s so nice to be able to actually hear from him and see that he’s doing good in real life!!
I'm so happy to see him making progress at unlocking his full potential and actually being content about how far he's come. I've loved the dude for years now. Glad I'm not the only one!
I fall asleep listening to "history of the world I guess " about 4 out of 7 nights for roughly 8 months straight.
Autism? Maybe
Necessary? Yes
I'm at 2 out of 7 now
I like how Anthony is trying to be so serious with Bill and he just responds with
'Yep, thats true' 'yeah i did write that.'
i mean is he wrong though??
He really feels like an artist in a pure way with no pretension. Incredibly interesting interview
"You realize hats are made of multiple hats " bill fucking GETS IT.
19:38 “I’m totally screwed and buried and I don’t know if this will ever see the light of day. --- It will. I’ll make it work.” me when I literally have a big point assignment and I start working on it the night it’s due
oh hey i’m currently working on an assignment due two weeks ago
He seems comfortable in this. Only place I'd seen him before being interviewed was the h3 podcast, and Ethan I think didn't know how approach him and kept going places Bill wasn't comfortable with, and then not backing off
Yeah. Most interviewers have trouble with Bill. Bill is a unique person and most interviewers have a predetermined structure that Bill doesn't fit in and have trouble in the (seemingly) winding road of his responses, but Anthony seemed prepared and ready to go wherever Bill did, which is really all they have to do
I mean it's Ethan. Something about him has this uncertain vibe cuz of how he portrays himself as a man of the people but really ain't (see F.U.P.A. and William Osman).
No disrespect but Ethan is a horrible interviewer. His interviews feel more like interrogations and some of his questions feel like loaded traps to get the person out of their comfort zone or elicit a reaction from them. Idk. Just the vibes I got from his podcast.
Oh yeah, I don't like Ethan - only watched for Bill, and it was a pain to watch
@@JonahNelson7 True. He reminds me of Cillian Murphy in many ways. That being said, it would be interesting to see him on Hot Ones, or any show/podcast hosted by Sean Evans since I doubt Bill would be interested in eating hot wings on camera. I think Sean proved himself capable of handling interviews with nuance and respect to the guest's comfort and personal affairs.
this is one of the strangest interviews you've done, and i love it, and i love Bill's content

I think Bill Wurtz is autistic, his mannerisms and way of speech seems so neurodivergent idk maybe I'm just looking to far into his character 😂.
I have never clicked so fast on a video from Anthony. Honestly.
While watching this, I got the urge to rewatch history of japan. While rewatching it for probably the thousandth time, I was hit with fond memories of me studying Japanology in uni.
It was really hard for me to remember the important dates and names of important people as we studied the WHOLE history of Japan throughout the first two semesters and I'd never been good at remembering dates and facts of history. My teacher was also kind of a dick. But I remember I rewatched bill wurtz' history of japan again and again to build bridges in my mind so that I could remember some of the important names and facts that would definitely come up in the history exam.
I just want to let him know, if he's reading this, how much this helped me. I love Japan and actually live here now, so the huge amount of work and effort he put into the video definitely had a very big impact for some of his viewers lives, like mine. I barely passed the exam, but I did pass, and if it wasn't for him I probably wouldn't have been able to.
It also just amuses me to this day. I think it's one of the most creative works of art on this platform and I really enjoy whatever this man is able to create. He is so talented and I'm thankful that he is also so eager to continue working on his videos even though they are so tough to create. It's really what sets him apart from so many creators that are very low-effort. Not to hate on them, just because someone is low-effort doesn't mean they are a bad creator, but with people like bill wurtz or (very unrelated but) also like Joel Haver or something, these people are not just creators, they are artists and the way they express themselves through art is just so unique and memorable.
I'm really glad he agreed to do this interview with you, it's obvious he doesn't feel to comfortable in this setting, but I'm glad he tried to get himself out of his comfort zone. I just really wish all the best to him.
This interview went exactly how I thought it would. I'm still processing that he agreed to do this?? 😅
He’s so in his own head and “think-y”. It’s so amazing to watch him! His mind is so interesting and (personally) funny!
“What are we gonna do? What is even happening? What are we even gonna… what? You know?” - 21:17
Loved it. I was like yup yup. I get it. 😂😂😂
This guy needs a podcast where he rambles about philosophical bs bc I loved this little talk they had. It’s so good I really really loved hearing him explaining his thoughts
god the way he talks is so… i dont even know
its fascinating, its like he’s overlayed himself talking about 45 separate things and it still makes sense
Ever since I discovered The entire history of the World I guess I probably watch it twice a year and sometimes I can convince other people to watch it too, its so well made and easy to digest and so much information packed into a relatively short video considering the content. Bill I love your work and I dare say I'll continue watching it as long as it's available to do so 😊
My boyfriend and I are both neurodiverse, I have pretty severe adhd, my boyfriend has anxiety, but we're both optimistic artists, patient, positive, wholesome beans. And Bill Wurtz being so blunt in his delivery, fluid with his thoughts, creative with his visuals, and consistent with the quality of his music make him a top tier, "stop EVERYTHING and click on that video" content creator. It's so relatable to hear your every day gripes finally voiced by someone else who's shameless about it. There isn't a video of his that isn't relatable, quotable, fall of your chair funny, and comforting in a cathartic way. Thanks Bill for years of quality entertainment.
What a lovely comment
@@youbutrt1707 what a lovely username...
i think it’s so interesting that he’s hilarious, because he never laughs once in the interview. that’s not at all a bad thing, i just wonder what that means
edit:
I should say, he doesn’t laugh much in this interview
@@coltonbates629 It could just be that he doesn't find Anthony very funny. Or, well, just the fact that this is only a small sliver of him
@@peterlewis2178no they clearly would never get along its so funny like so many of anthonys questions bill clearly thinks they are just stupid and doesnt answer
Bill is definitely one of those people (who I’ve only met or seen a couple times) that his brain moves at such a high speed and he has such an intense idea in his mind but his mouth can’t keep up with the speed that he thinks. I truly love to watch people like this because I really wonder how much more I could learn and how much better of a conversation I could have if we could just hear thoughts
i think faster thank i can talk, which lead to me developing a speech impediment as a child bc i talked way too fast to the point it was incomprehensible (💀). i sound like a COMPLETELY different person over text than when talking to me in person because when typing i can visually SEE the thoughts before actually saying them, and being able to type super fast also helps keep the flow going, whereas when i try to voice my thoughts in person, i either end up A. talking unbelieveably slowly while i think of what i want to say or B. i thought about what i was going to say SO MUCH to the point where when i finally try to say it out loud, the speech impediment comes through and i say it in a slur of words to the point where an untrained ear is just like "...what? im sorry, _what_ did you just say? those werent words, those were syllables and sounds." and that's not even taking the ADHD into account where when having a conversation, if i dont interrupt, i wont know when to come in AND i often forget what i was going to say because i didn't want to interrupt the other person in the middle of their sentence. but yeah no i 1000% agree it would save me a lot of trouble if i could transfer my thoughts telepathically rather than trying to say them out loud
I feel that! Honestly one of the reasons I want to learn Spanish and Portuguese so I can speak at a rate more similar to my thoughts 😂
THIS MAN is the reason that my brain turns EVERYTHING into a little jingle. He has had more impact on the way i communicate than almost anyone else. Litterally the blueprint for my sense of timing in humor as well. Huge love to a real Legend
my favorite thing about bill wurtz style is that it is art style that you know only someone who is incredibly skilled can make something that should look bad look so good. It’s the ultimate show of skill in a medium, as you can only rely on the things people can’t directly point to and say “this is good”
I am a VERY musical person, and honestly the music bits in history of the entire world are my favorite parts!! The one that gets stuck in my head the most is "except Turkey, Turkey makes a brand new Turkey!"
The video someone else spliced together of all those jingles always has me in stitches 😂💜
He mostly makes songs, you should listen to those.
Oh man I'm glad someone else gravitated towards that soundbite as much as I do 🤣
i like that anthony asks for clarification on his answers when i can guarantee bills answers are as complete as they’re ever going to get.
I like how it demonstrates how Anthony seems to think in broader strokes and Bill thinks in the tiniest levels of detail so a "clear" answer to Anthony is relatively short and a "clear answer" to Bill is painstakingly long.
this video is like tapping a glass jar with a bug in it
As an animator/ designer I was a student when I came across Bill’s work and I was blown away by the effort he put into his art. He inspired me to create and invest more time into my bullshit passion projects. Time to time I still watch the entire history of the world, i guess video without getting bored. Thanks Bill. Love your work, i guess…❤
“Doing something that you think other people would like, but you don’t like, that’s like painting with colors that you can’t see.” Is literally some of the most profound thought on authenticity that I’ve ever heard.
This is the kind of interview I like, he’s an artist, and it feels like listening to an artist, not a UA-camr. As an artist myself, it’s refreshing. He’s the kind of person that might not click with everyone, but those are the best kinds of people
Bill Wurtz is just a confusing and bewildering creator. Does that appeal to everyone? Of course not, that's not possible. But that's OK. The fact that you can get many people interested and thought provoked from you, is a sign that you are doing something right.
when he said he listened to Dave Weckl and Chick Corea as a teen, it made so much more sense to me. they really get in your blood, man
my favorite thing about creators like bill is that their style is truly impossible to replicate. even if you mirror the visuals, the feeling that’s evoked from the art is never there. it’s something that only happens organically, and the artist usually has no idea how they even created this art style. he’s not trying to be quirky or off the wall, it’s just how his brain works. AND ITS SO FRICKIN FASCINATING TO THINK ABOUT
He seems so unbelievably intelligent. Just listening to him speak feels like I’m being educated by someone who is on a different plane of existence than me.
i love how he really just does whatever he wants
This is exactly what I would've expected talking to him.
Did not expect it to be so profound though. He has a really good point about how we're all single-minded organisms that go after our own desires and want to make a name for ourselves and we end up neglecting so much in the pursuit of that. If we were to suddenly morph into one or gain a hive mind of sorts, it would hopefully help the earth but we'd lose our individuality in the process.
Damn he is really a philosopher.
Bill should watch Evangelion for sure
This man is so unbelievably wise and dense and comforting, yet so confusing and mildly frightening. I didn’t know this kind of person could exist where you can use almost any adjective to describe them and it would be valid. He is such an amalgamation of concepts and feelings that I can’t help but feel a true neutral emotion. It’s bizarre.
props to anthony for his attention in this interview. he stayed locked in at times i couldn’t; i got so lost a few times 😂😂
Honestly given that he was best friends with Ian for so many years I'm not surprised that he's used to tangents 😂
I actually find it much easier to focus on what Bill says, but my mind starts to drift when Anthony talks.
Ill never forget the day I discovered him. The one and only time youtube has ever sent me a notification from a channel ive never interacted with
I’m so glad someone got him in an interview I’ve always wanted to hear this guy just talk. I spent a lot of time on his site and he’s just so interesting and clever.
