Jacob needs to check his lunchroom privilege. At least he has the option to sit at the cool table. I sat alone because I HAD to.
Same bro like i cant even
on GODDD🤣
Susanna McElveen me too. (Well I still do... high school sucks :/)
Jordan Eats Cheese I feel u💗 stay strong
That’s how it always was for me but now I’m homeschooled so it doesn’t matter anymore
These teens are ruining the image of the better teens
As a representative of better teens, these idiots are ruining our image. We really should disown them.
The Fiddles yes, I’m also a representative of the better teens
as an honorary representative of the better teens, i vote them out of the clan aswell.
"when you can't think of any lyrics just repeat the same thing three times" you read my mind lmao
@@berriepieql LOL thank u strawberrie
Teenage boys really don't talk like Jacob please don't let him tarnish your ideas of teenagers
-sincerely a 16 year old musician who ain't like that
Do you have a channel? I’m ALWAYS looking for new music
@@abigailharder6295 I haven't started one yet
Why don’t u go for it?
I’d totally check it out, as a music fan.
fucking yes! Thank you
@miss_ Lumzden i thought he was thirteen or sumthin
Excuse me, can i wanna coke, please
Waiter: no
What you mean no?
Waiter: I care about your health
40 seconds in and this video is already shading genius
thiccvic cant help it☺️
you know what's sadder?
I could write better and more complex lyrics in english than those 16 year old kids when I was thirteen, and I didn't even knew how to speak english back then.
DJCKFHD MEEEEE
do you want a cookie
It seems you still don't know
Waiter with my coke who doesn't care about my health
evil anais no she’s speaking English 😬
My cat hissed when the flossing kid came on screen
Elyse Eventing 🤣🤣
I trust your cat with my life
good kitty give him some pats
cat pats are long overdo. pat the cat once more.
the editing on this video is SO GOOD i’m cryign
Adrienne D. aw thank you
IKR he’s really could
I was just about to comment the same thing 🤣
Jacob was talkin about his cocaine bro. His waiter the dealer. Its deep trust me
*mind blown*
Lol
I wish that were the truth just so there could be like a 2 centimeters depth to those lyrics.
Have u ever seen a dealer who cares about your health?
yes
Loren you were famous for miming songs for a reason babe 😘
NiamhH oh snap
Love the shade🤣🤣🤣
Dayum
This guy looks like if Tyler Oakley didn't have a baby face. Am I wrong? 😂
Mia DN I thought the same thing and your profile picture is my favourite album lol
@@K4ndieboi ayyyyee! 😂✌️
100% right . Also three cheers? Is that you?
Nah you write
Mia DN HELLO FELLOW MCR FAN
"Repeat after me; I have no talent." -Squidward after seeing these "singers" sing
Ugh I agree so much, but howwww did she get to go to hotel rooms alone in Vegas with some boy at 16😂😂😂
Savanna 301 literallly like parents where r u?
Thank you
you'd be surprised
DID YOU USE A PIC OF MILLIE BOBBY BROWN AS JACOB SAGITTARIUS
David Figueroa jacob saggityass*
i dont want jacob be associated with my zodiac
Im hurt he did this and creeped out since Millie is his ex gf
@@Jas13579 same
Jacob saggytits
Why couldn't Genuis give us something like The Eagles explaining Hotel California or even Don Mclean explaining American Pie. Why can't they give us artists to explain their songs that are about real life problems
Because they know dumb teenyboppers will click on it
I think American Pie has already been explained before? Though I'd like them to, just so my generation would learn about these things instead of whatever this is
the best interview they've had was Mariah Carey 1 hour long interview, really recommend it
Y Ara if you google the lyrics, and open the genius ones, you can see the breakdown by tapping on the highlighted lyrics. It’s not really an official interview with the eagles, but it gives a great explanation.
[Panicked Nooting] omg thank you
Jacob: COnvErSaTiNg
Me: i think it’s converse
Jacob: huh?
Me: *just say TALK*
Lollll
Spill the...
WATER... Im going healthy so I don't drink tea I'm afraid
BellTastic Art hahha tea so good tho
BellTastic Art tea is healthy though...
That's the beauty of organic or vegan tea. 😜🍵😍
I don’t drink coke 😞 the waiters don’t let me
Just don’t add sugar and tea is super healthy
“...and Jacob Sartorious...”
*shows Millie Bobbie brown
Jacob: "...at the counter, only cOnVeRsAtInG with...."
ME: _AHEM_ , does he mean *"CONVERSING"* .... 😐🙃
HONESTLYYYYYY, i thought i was the only one that noticed
Stacey Irungu 😬
just say talk
Iwan? you betcha lmao
Thank god, I thought I was the only one who actually cared about the grammar
The explanation reminds me of english teachers:
T: What does the author mean when he says "I want to be with you"
Student: The author is saying that 'Bella wants to be with Edward'
Real artist say "make your own meaning , I sang what I had to say"
like yoongi ┐(´ー｀)┌
#billieeilish
and you can wear my sweatpants
I’ve found your account and
Now I’m binge watching everything single one of the videos you’ve made
Life is good
Same at 2% but tbh idgaf
sSaME
"If you loved me you wouldn't break my heart" LMFAO that line always annoyed me because yes, you can love someone and still break up with them. It takes more than just love to make a relationship work.
Lmfao, even you are a better singer than all three of them combined 😂
Emma B. hahaha and thats saying something
"Oh, Lauren Gray"
**Barbie pic in the background**
I was so surprised when I heard Ian (James Charles’ brother) was dating Loren ;-;
I just showed my friend this video and we are dying lol she just subscribed
Hailey Kirby aw thank you ❤️
16 and she thinks shes got it all figured out 😂 gurl please.
When I was 16 I was trying to keep my head down at school and hiding at home from arguments everyday.
That's the point of being 16. Trying to figure out what she likes and you know being a teenager.
I spent my teenage years planning different ways to run away from boarding school😂😂😂
As a 16 year old, I can agree that all I'm doing is drawing and doing my schoolwork
Finally someone said it. Music is going to shit rn with this viral stuff. Also yass Luke you looked great.
When he said the waiter (serving his coke) doesn’t care about his health the way that his baby does, I felt that and tbh I think we’ve all felt that a loved one has cared about us more than our waiters 😔🤘🏼Truth, Jakespeare
i cant tell if your being sarcastic or naw,but if you then you are a good human being
Narwhals Vlogs I am, yes and thank u
Ok but why does Loren keep changing to her voice to sound like a wanna anime girl?
genuinely every girl i know can sing like that..who the fuck heard her song in the studio n lieddd to her
I would love to see RM talking about the songs on his album Mono, that have so deep meanings and talks about mental health... ugh. They are loosing such a tremendous opportunity of letting REAL artists talk about their songs. That's actually kinda sad.
OMG yesss!!
That's the only way genius can get it's reputation back.
Preach ❤❤❤❤
jamless! YASSSSSS RM IS SO TALENTED❤️
BIG YES
I'm so sorry I skipped one of ur ads I'm SO SORRY from the bottom of my heart I will never do that again because you deserve every ad and I will rewatch just for ads.. that sounded like a bad problem and so dramatic but I meant it lol
Nada M. Farouk hahahaha it okay😂💛
Well I keep getting fortnite ads dunno why lol
thank you for reminding me that kissing you by miranda cosgrove exists, took me right down the nostalgia wormhole
If you don't stay for the outro song are you even a true fan?
Ben Cagampang u the real mvp🥰
lmao how do people have so many relationship issues at this age? I'm sixteen and I'm besties with my one and only ex
Mollie Daly uhh that’s kinda weird
@@ashleyhayes1793 Nah we were friends beforehand so not really
You taking the piss out of Jacob made my day, thanks. It was hilarious. To think there are people who are like “Yo, dis kid reeeeeeaaallll deeeeeeeeeep” like, NO. brilliant, teaching our kids that doing useless things and trying to be deliberately deep is *K E W L*
Ahh ive been off UA-cam for like a week and this is how i like to come back, with quality content from Luke
Siobhan Malcolm aw ❤️❤️❤️
Right i need a week bŕeak
jacob sartorius went to a nearby high school for a time and let me say i highly doubt that after sweatshirt made him a walking meme he sat alone at lunch lmao
Sarah T man needs to be homeschooled
i think jacob wanted to make a musically while explaining his lyrics
😌☝️🤙😚🤟👋
I know I’m late, but lollll underrated comment
Celeste Brevil thank you thank you
PREACH!! There are so many good artists out there that have good lyrics that should be explained but when the verified videos are clogged with garbage music that doesn’t have any depth, it just defeats the purpose of the Verified Series.
s w e a t p a n t s
it'd be cool if as a follow-up to this video you made a video about lesser-known artists/musicians who DO deserve to be more well-known
1:01 the voice of an angel
love these types of videos from you
aw thank you :)
They act like the middle schoolers they are yet believe they're adults and are actually treated like adults.
Edit: I didn't realize they're like 16 wtf
'that is what i see in the corner of my room during sleep paralysis' I NEARLY CHOCKED TO DEATH LMFAO
this channel is so underrated
You should be a comedian 😂😂😂😂
I want all of Foster the People's songs explained. Geez, their songs are DEEP
Lauren talking about her exes at 15 and then there's me who is 19 and never had anything close to a relationship I'm definitely not bitter
I dated someone for two months a little before 16. and then I realized I'm too young to date so nah
"Sit at the counter, only conversating with the waiter..."
Um... What? Conversating? cOnvErsating? What does that even mean? It's CONVERSING, not conversating. How did no one catch on that?
i swear that's part of a vine or something
A song that actually needs to be explained is P!ATD Build God Then We Talk LIKE BOI
Ask Ryan . I am challenging you to go to Ryan Ross's house and ask him .
Isn't that song just about a girl who is basically being forced into selling her body for a job? And the overarching theme is that all pure things are destroyed by "roaches" (the lawyer, in this song). I don't know, that's what I thought anyways. I'd love to hear Ryan explain it though. I really want Pretty. Odd. explained. I love that album, but what the heck is "Mad as Rabbits" even about?
BROOO
The music video needs an explanation too LOL
the video needs it's own video.
If I were the girl who was on the other side of the Jacob Sartorius song, I'd run faster than sonic...
I'm sixteen and I'm trying not to fail too
Stop it
Fix it
And move on
~ luke Alexander the REAL UA-camr out here
Yeah you can try to make commentary videos since you make pretty good points annd actually add some content instead of just reacting to it
I’m laughing so hard at “you can wear my, sweat pants” hahahahaha
7:20 romance at its finest 👌
Omw word this is honestly sad. I know I'm so late to this video but being a writer who Co wrote a couple of songs, this just caused me to itch in a very upsetting way. I just can't watch these kids. 😥
just binge watched your entire channel. you make such good content and you’re so well spoken. It’s sooooo refreshing,,, thxxx
Luke I LOVE the song you put in the intro and outro!! Paul Anka has ALWAYS been my favourite!
“you can wear my SwEatPeAnTs”
Pause then tap 7:17
Is it only me or the play button matched with the video, ya know what im sayin
OMG it does 😝🤣😂😂😂😂😂😂😂🍍
Lol his face
i just found your channel and you are literally one of the only genuinely funny youtubers left lmao i bursted out laughing at least eleven times
I will just quietly be confused why Millie Bobby Brown was there explain please
Mae Claire Cross Jacob satorious and Millie bobby brown dated for a while
@@sprungmonkey3959 ohhhhh WAIT WHAT
i'm pretty sure genius is just doing this to expose "singers" for their real voices without autotune
I can never get tired of your videos, you're sooo funny and interesting to listen 2. I LOVE YOU!!!!!
I don't think I've ever laughed this much! I just found you and immediately subscribed, lol you are great! Def gonna binge watch you instead of studying for my homework! :)
I've never laughed so hard in a video before especially during the backpack kid's genius
Genius had Linkin Park and BMTH in "Verified"
That sad thing. The real artist and "artist" in the same series, category
I'm a fan of your channel from NOW!!!! I've watched three videos of your so far and the chosen topics were interesting but have been overlooked somehow. I'm glad you brought these up because I've been noticing some of them as well, particularly the romanticization of mental illness. However, I've never really got a chance to discuss that with anyone because I'm not sure if it's appropriate to talk about that in a normal conversation. Also, I'm not as good as a speaker like you and my English sucks so I don't believe in myself that I could deliver all of these ideas as precise as you are. Thanks for making these videos`!
Bro this video is so well done. I can’t get over it. Nice work!
Thank you so much for making this video. ❤
Dude finally someone is talking about this! Literally thank you! I've only see two of your videos but both made really good points about the things you were talking about.
I find it soooo cringy when Jacob tries to explain his lyrics when it's the simplest song ever created. I'm cringing so hard because this song is basically that cookie-cutter love song that plays on the radio 24/7. IT'S SO CHEESY!
I love your intro song
ALIYAH AQUINO thank u❤️
Luke Alexander ❤️
Hey, I love ur vids but only watched this one recently cause I’d already seen a lot of commentary vids on the topic, but I found u offered a deeper perspective on these artists and what genius is showing its audience by making these videos. Also, u were still comedic enough to make this video very entertaining. So thanks for that :-)
6:20
You are privileged as
*P H U C K*
Honestly this video cracked me up so much, love your videos❤️
Finding your channel is the best thing that has happened during quarantine
Omg I just discovered your channel and I‘m obsessed, you are HILARIOUS and I love your editing 😂😂❤️
I've never seen editing this fast on UA-cam. Love it.
Your videos are literally the funniest! I love them!!
I LOVE your personality!!
These commentary video are very entertaining I like that you aren’t too much like other youtubers, like your style of editing is kind of common but you don’t overdo it. I’d like to see more commentary, criticism, opinions, and any creative ideas you have! :)
So embarrassing for me when nearly all the teenagers I know feel the need to be in some deep relationship.. I'm almost 16, preparing for college and all my experience is literally hug related. I mean seriously did they just have a date in the back of their parents car?
God I hate today's music and music culture. I miss the 90s so much. I'm 100 years old.
“Hey guys, welcome back to my channel or if you’re new here, welcome back”. Genius (no pun intended) wording and editing there mate 😉
i'm so glad i found your channel! i've watched 2 videos and loved them so far. subscribed 🤗
I love your commentaries
LOLLL I just discovered your channel 3 videos ago and you are honestly so funny 😂 (plus you present serious topics so skillfully); you have a new subbie! 💖
Loooove you. New subscriber. I was dying laughing the whole video. Great job!
Oh my God I think you just said the funniest thing I’ve ever heard in my whole life. When you said that the backpack kid doing that weird ass dance was what you see during sleep paralysis hahaha
this is your funniest video please do more of these LOOL
CONVERSATING. IS. NOT. A. REAL. WORD!!!!!!!!! 😵😷😠😩
Hahaha ikr I thought so too, until I got annoyed enough to Google it, and apparently it is😂
