While Joel is the only one sane here (those shorts are few of my favorite), Geoff stole this one, only by asking the right questions. "How is it standing on its own?" Although he could be considered almost as offensive as Joel by referring to Pongo as "It" and "Is there like a hand up its butt?"
For some reason, I can't get past the fear of working for RT, and one day, seeing Burnie as he looks me in the eyes and says "can I see you outside please" in that tone of voice.
I always enjoy the expression on Joel's face, that look of befuddlement :) [Edit 3 months later: 6:20 In the subtitles it says Spanish music plays, but it's actually Jewish, I don't know if it's on purpose :)]
Not only is this my favorite short but it accurately represents how great an actor Joel is. He's so normal and reasonable in this compared to his on the spot/how to attitude.
Wow. Came here after the newest rt short with Joel and Pongo. Great content way back then and still great content today. Thanks for all the entertainment :) please keep up the awesome job you guys do
Three years go my friend told me about "Pongo" and told me to look it up. I did, and it was one of the funniest things I'd ever seen. However, I had not yet discovered roosterteeth, so now that I have the video is just that much more amazing!
I like how everyone is at first like "its a puppet how does it do all that" then goes "oh yea he's just a normal human being what are you talking about Joel" though I think it would have been better if everyone understood its a puppet but didn't care except Joel who's trying to figure out how its alive or something
Re-watching all the shorts while hungover, laughed so hard I literally pissed myself "I don't care what the fucking internet says, there is no such thing as double coffee"
I had a ssg in my unit that hated me, constantly recommended article 15’s for the smallest things. His last name was Pongo and therefore incapable of making me do anything but laugh at him
The current live action group arguably don't have anywhere near the comedic writing and acting talent as the original group. The first season of shorts will always be the funniest group.
"There's no such thing as double coffee" has got to be the best throwaway joke ever
Man, I miss these old Sketches, with just Burnie, Geoff, Gus, Matt, Joel, and Gavin.
and Nathan
ThePowerButtonGaming I miss Nathan :(
I think you mean Gavin 2, not Gavin
***** No that's totally Gavin what are you on about
Gavin and ben is in the video
The one time Joel makes sense, he's wrong
My life is a lie
Kinda like he's stuck in Bizarro-World.
No watch your back Pongo. Joel has a serious team killing history. And one day you will here your last words, "Tucker did it!".
Geoff is fucking adorable.. like a curious little puppy.

Toneai2007 I’d consider “is that a knife?” To be the most pressing question at the time, myself.
It makes sense now, the only reason Barbara got a job was because her father worked there first
wow
+Cheez It ...Did you just call Barbara a muppet?
+TheWebofHope course not, Muppet's a trademark.
+TheWebofHope No, she is a Moppet.
Is it because she's Canadian?
Pongos heart is TALL
Tall means small!
oesntd atterm Are you making a short joke? " GOODNESS"
Hmmm... Up until 5:30 Joel had a goatee, and then suddenly it mysteriously vanished :/
Wait...did he shave in between scenes?
MrFirefight98 They likely shot this on different days or did a re-shoot. Between then he probably shaved it
Yeah, on looking back, I realise that that's the most probable explaination
I think I like him better with a goatee
Then all f a sudden it's back again at 6:38
Pongo and Joel have a new appreciation for each other!
I read this as he said it
Score one for the pamphlet
For some reason, I can't get past the fear of working for RT, and one day, seeing Burnie as he looks me in the eyes and says "can I see you outside please" in that tone of voice.
I don't think you have to worry
c5214963 I don't either. As if I could actually get a job there.
@@Bananasnotasong don't think you'd want to get a job there these days
@@theirishviking9278 Yeah. This comment aged.
@@BananasnotasongYeah it definitely aged alright.
I want a sequel so bad
check the holloween short
Check the latest recap
Check the recent short
I love how when burnie says "I don't care what the internet says, there's no such thing as double coffee" Gus immediately points at Joel.
So they found the Pongo prop while prepping for RTX... That and the new season of Shorts can only mean one thing.
Pongo 2: The Pongoning.
I always enjoy the expression on Joel's face, that look of befuddlement :)

Has anyone ever tried that double coffee idea? It actually sounds like it has potential...
TEXAStooTAL L It works. I've done it a few times when pulling all nighters to study for exams.
double coffee is weak just make an espresso that's like 5xcoffee.
I do find it interesting that in a company with Joel as an employee, Ryan still somehow became the insane one
:/
Guess they both ended up as the insane ones.
This comment hasn't aged well 👀
Aged like milk
Oof
RT shorts are timeless
PLEASE MAKE PONGO PART 2!!!
They're doing new RT shorts in this style coming soon so maybe we'll see it.
Your wish is my command . They just did
They did... Its called Barbara
Was this the first appearance of Joel Ruben?
+10 for you good sir
+Walnut Spice I didn't understand for a second. Then I got it.
Joel Rubén?
They fought for the company's position as Alpha Joel.
And that my friends, is how Ray was born ;)
The shorts always make me so anxious. I love them.
GO SCRUB THE TOILET ANDALE ARRIBA ARRIBA
When everybody else is cabooses and Joel is smart...
It's crazy how almost all of the things that were mocked in this video ended up causing a lot of issues at Rooster Teeth 10 years later.
lifes little ironies..
Come again?
Well life does imitate art
Wait what?
The coffee pot thing?
It's time to bring back double coffee to stick it to Big Coffee.
Wow. Came here after the newest rt short with Joel and Pongo. Great content way back then and still great content today. Thanks for all the entertainment :) please keep up the awesome job you guys do
I love joel's face when burnie burns says "His name is pongo."
Joel : "his name is pongo..."
Geoff asks all the real questions
i think pongo is the single most terrifying fucking thing ive seen in my life..
Don't be a racist.
Alfred F. Jones but..hes not a part of a race.. hes a puppet..
Mr.Bones Stop discriminating against people of the Dominican Republic.
Alfred F. Jones ...i forgot he was from the Dominican republic.. how does that even work? does he have a full passport?
Mr.Bones Just because he's purple you assume he's illegal? Don't be racist, if he was white you wouldn't ask yourself that.
I laughed so hard when it said 1-800 I'M RACIST.
Geoff is a gift to this world
Three years go my friend told me about "Pongo" and told me to look it up. I did, and it was one of the funniest things I'd ever seen. However, I had not yet discovered roosterteeth, so now that I have the video is just that much more amazing!
Man I love the original RT shorts
In Pongo's defense, "jungle music" is actually kinda racist
I find it hilarious that JOEL is the voice of reason while he plays Caboose.
Bruh, these guys predicted tumblr so hard.
I think they were just doing a bunch of racist jokes directed at a puppet. Tumblr is worse than just being mad about racism.
Tumblr and SJWs
and then became it
Ironic.
Glad I got a chance to see it again before it goes away.
I like how everyone is at first like "its a puppet how does it do all that" then goes "oh yea he's just a normal human being what are you talking about Joel" though I think it would have been better if everyone understood its a puppet but didn't care except Joel who's trying to figure out how its alive or something
trying not to offend someone in 2016
pretty much
Listen to avenue q "you're a little racist" pure gold
or 2017...
BRENDILOCKS
2018............
2019...
Pongo quickly realized his talents were wasted and soon left Roosterteeth to star in his own hit Broadway show Yo soy Pongo
So Pongo is Ray right?
no Pongo is taller
They predicted the future :o
Such a classic video 😭😭
Holy shit i cant handle how well Joel plays the straight man and the funny man
This brings context to Joel in one of the latest on the spot episodes.
Joel's face at 1:04, PRICELESS man
Bro this rt short is relevant now lmaooo
Yep. It predicted the modern sensitivity of people that argue feeling over facts funny enough.
Seen the short many times and I just noticed that you can see the puppeteer at 3:43 under the table.
I just love Geoff's dialogue in this
Thanks Immersion, I needed this in my life.
Pubert is still a better name.
Joel’s a pretty good actor
Caboose 😂
This is by far, the BEST short they've ever made.
When Geoff had hope and enthusiasm xD
Burnie is the embodiment of tumblr in this video
"seriously, how are you doing that and can it juggle?" asking the serious questions, geoff.
Who else is here because of RT Recap?
me
ME!
Pongo told me to come here or else he'd gut me like a fish.
Am I the only one that thinks that pongo looks like Michael? Or is that just me
Racist
+Владимир Рыжов How the hell is that racist?
Political correctness in shellnut.
Hunter Dobbins I know, shellnut is one way to express sarcasm without being taken too seriously.
***** really i've never heard that expression before but i see what you mean
Re-watching all the shorts while hungover, laughed so hard I literally pissed myself "I don't care what the fucking internet says, there is no such thing as double coffee"
Pongo looks like Crash from Crash & Bernstein. Anyone remember that show? That show was hilarious!
And my sister named the beagle my family has, Pongo.
I'm so glad he's still on the Rooster Teeth team. He did great in RWBY.
Holy shit, they accurately predicted Tumblr.
I had a ssg in my unit that hated me, constantly recommended article 15’s for the smallest things. His last name was Pongo and therefore incapable of making me do anything but laugh at him
Gotta be combat arms.
@@noneofyourbusiness9489 we were in aviation, I believe he was former infantry
@@bilboswaggins4783
That explains it. Combat arms NCOs tend to be bitter people (citation, artillery).
This is still one of my favourite shorts, it's just so funny haha
I miss the old shorts
burnie is so much thinner now.
Yeah. He really needs to "take a anger management class". :D
lol burnie was fat and geoff was skinny...now they're both the opposite
Like in RvB?
Gunmasterx7 no like real life lol
well he's not really fat, just kinda chunky..
I couldn't tell that was Geoff because of the lack of mustache.
Shadow_Plays -_- how long have u followed roosterteeth
Basically 2016 in a nutshell
pongo is freaking terrifying
who else is here from the rt recap?
The music should’ve been the rvb warthog music
I wish this was a series
4:52
Burnie would later go on to find out that he was part jewish himself.
So sad that this is exactly what this company became😪
?
@@KrisHandsome they used to make fun of being overly pc and cancel culture as a whole and now that’s all rt does
@@xTheda13 Who has RT cancelled?
@@KrisHandsome Micah tried to
Pongo’s voice sounds like Elmo going through puberty
Who came here from the max stealing stuff short?
burnie really lost weight
hahh when he sead "what was that christ thing " I lold my ass off
Pongo and Barbara should team up :D !
blesyl67 they did in their rooster teeth twelve days of christmas. more of a cameo, but i guess it counts
PONGO IS ABSOLUTELY TERRIFYING OH MY BOB
AND I WANT TO PUNCH A HOLE IN THE WALL
SERIOUSLY
(Good work guys, I felt EMOTIONS. Seriously, great work.)
Get help
"How are you doing that, and can it juggle?!?!" -Geoff
Pongo is 10 years old
I... I think Joel is super handsome...
5:26 Joel has facial hair
5:32 Joel lacks facial hair
Bernie is stealing staches again
These are great! Why doesn’t RT do these anymore ?
They tried, the newer ones werent as good. Rt changed a lot and its no longer Burnie, Geoff, Gus, and Joel coming up with random ideas.
The current live action group arguably don't have anywhere near the comedic writing and acting talent as the original group. The first season of shorts will always be the funniest group.
Jokes are illegal now.
Joel is like me every time I tell my friends that I'm republican
Amby I how does that make any sense...
The is the best thing that I've ever seen.... It brought tears of joy to my eyes.
so.... is that gavin or....
1,000,000 views!
"I don't care what the Internet said, there is no such thing as "Double Coffee"! " lol cx
Double coffee?
am i the only one who found out about this becuase of the rt recap
i died when Pongo and Burnie burst out laughing all of a sudden lmao
hey so 2020 anyone
watching this makes me mad
