Steve is a legit great guy. I saw man made a viral post about how he was gravely ill as a child and wanted Steve to visit him through Make a Wish. Fortunately he got better and as an adult recently went to a meet and greet with Steve. He told him he was the sick child he visited all those years ago with pictures to prove it. Not only did Steve remember him, he was choking back tears remembering the event and said that he's so glad that man is still here today. I guess he might've assumed the child passed away shortly after his visit, judging by his reaction. It's nice knowing my childhood hero is the real deal.
@@willisverynice noones perfect, everyone's just human, and yeah you can never really know anyone famous, but what the commenter explained was a wholesome moment that can be appreciated. You really didn't have to shit on it.
Fun fact: Steve re-appeared in the Blue's Clues reboot, and after this, he was later interviewed by a talk show in which he talks about and debunks hoaxes that talk about him being dead, being indebted to a criminal organization, being arrested by the police, or even going to college in real life.
i think he also mentioned creating a few death hoaxes for himself!!! i specifically remember him mentioning a whaling accident as a hoax. as a long-time steve fan its insane to think how many death rumours there were for him
"going to college irl" I find it laughable people think that. I don't think they hire many people in media that don't have college experience unless there's some rags to riches story. Especially the front man of a show.
@@urphakeandgey6308i dont think that's true. I mean any child actor out there never were in college. I think you mean highschool dropouts dont typically get hired. That would be true. Because finishing high-school is usually necessary for alot of jobs. But college and university is obstional. Those two are for specific jobs.
You have no idea how free I feel after learning the magician husband beheading wife video was fake. That shit haunted me until 2 minutes ago. I love you.
I love when short films get mistaken as hoaxes, it means they are really well done. My favorite is metalosis maligna, it's a shame it never really took off tho
One of my favorite hoax videos from the "rise of social media" era was a video I saw on reddit of someone walking through a Russian forest and stumbling upon a woman and a little girl. The little girl was levitating and when they noticed the intruder, she quickly descended to the ground, and they ran away. Middle/high school me was terrified but also so intrigued by creepypasta media at the time, and I loved reading the comments on it and letting myself sort of believe it was real.
Was that the one where he’s walking the dog and it runs ahead and then he comes up to the dog and the camera then shows the mom and the girl floating? If so that one was freaky.
This will sound cringe, but I was interested in Slender Man not because it was scary, but because I was very curious if it was a legit urban legend that started outside of the internet first. I assumed it maybe was since preteen me was like "if it is, wtf is its origin?" I don't think it was, unfortunately. I think it started as a meme.
when i was in fourth grade, i was absolutely terrified by this pokemon creepypasta called buriedalive. i was so convinced it was real, that i was terrified going anywhere near a cemetery, or just walking alone in general. i was in like 6th grade when i figured out it wasn't real. since then, internet horror has held a special place in my heart. great video!
I really appreciate the work you do in finding fun, obscure stories for us. No hate to blameitonjorge or Nexpo or any of them but a lot of the other eerie/mystery youtubers I follow seem to dig from the same well, but with a kylie video I never know what to expect. Congrats on the Whang! collab, you deserve it!
thank you! i'm really glad to hear you think this is still a fun, obscure one considering i covered some pretty well known ones, but i wanted to for the nostalgia factor :)
Love to see you collab/ get some more exposure from such a large UA-cam, the qualities on par with some megalithic UA-camrs in the sphere, and it’s amazing to see it paying off
Ironically enough I have no idea who that Wang guy is, despite being watching stuff like scare theater, atrocity guide, etc for some years now. So I guess exposure works both ways here lol :)
UA-cam algorithm blessed me with this video. Subscribed within the first minute of watching! Your voice and the way you talk is super easy to listen to!
@@VaunaKiller wang doesn't do like horror content, so maybe that's why. he mostly does videos about internet hoaxes (like this one), infamous reddit/4chan stories, stuff like that
kylie, if you're familiar with the classic creepypasta "Abandoned by Disney" (or any of its related works like "Room Zero," "A Few Suggestions," and "Corruptus"), slimebeast (from "mario nights") also wrote that! it's kind of odd for me to hear about a piece by such a well-known creepypasta writer being taken seriously at that level, but i can imagine users less familiar with classic creepypasta wouldn't know that's slimebeast's thing.
The hell hole hoax is religious traumas fuel 💀 it scared me as a kid but thinking back it makes me so angry that adults would show this to children to “scare them straight” into christianity
I’m so damn lucky that this never happened to me despite growing up in a Catholic environment. My parents always viewed videos like it as attention-seeking frauds.
@@elizabethshaw7472 Just the tactics? You don't mind the fact that people will indoctrinate children into thinking stories of angels and demons and an afterlife are true, well before said children are capable of critical thinking and making their own mind up? I know what you're going to say because religious nuts invariably rush to say "they're not true ____s", as if they're morally any better. As long as you are a part of a cult, you are complicit with all the disgusting things cults like Christianity do to pick members up.
Yeah, thankfully I was starting to leave my christian beliefs behind before then but omg did that one keep me up at night, thinking too much. Thinking back the internet in the early 2000's was not a good place for a 9 year old lmao.
I don't know how UA-cam recommended your channel to me, but I've been loving watching this content and seeing the channel grow so fast, you deserve all of the growth!
Always nice to revisit some classic internet videos. "Girl ghost" completely messed me up, though, probably caused some permanent mental scars. And the mirror ghost also shown here, that one caused a mirror phobia which I suffered for many years.
the mirror ghost video terrified me too, i was scared of mirrors for a long time when i was a little kid. i can't remember if it was because of it or just fueled the fear though
When I was young, like maybe around 10, I was at a library and found a children's book about crytids and creatures from around the world. That was my first exposure to Bloody Mary. I'm 25 now. Eventually I could stand to pass by a mirror or use a bathroom one, but I still absolutely can't stand being in a dark room with a mirror or sleeping in a room with one.
I love this video. I love the normal tone of voice, the non super professional recording quality yet incredibly high research and writing quality, how you can tell how much fun you had making this. It’s super cool to just see people making content about stuff they love
"Username 666" scared me away from youtube for a while at 8 because I really thought the internet could hold demons, mostly because the dial up noise terrified me as a 3-4 y/o. One time I saw a man's smiling face as our computer's screensaver just bouncing around the screen while the modem screeched away. Still don't know what that was or if it was just a nightmare. Now I listen to shortwave channels and ponder wtf the strange noises are late at night to be scared. Great video. Subbed.
That first dog-thing is a Patricia Piccinini sculpture. My then-gf was an assistant for Piccinini, around that time (don't think she worked on THAT specific piece, but she she helped sculpt/paint similar critters. She worked for Ron Mueck, too, who's sculptures show up as hoaxes in memes, Reddit, etc prettt regularly, too)
the anak durhaka video was some attraction at a museum where a guy would put makeup on and hide underneath a table and poke his head out of a hole next to the body of a fox covered in veils and pretend to be some fortune telling mythological creature. Can't remember where I heard that but I 100% know that's the case.
Wow that was weird seeing things I had forgotten about that scared me shitless when I was younger and watched it for no reason. Even then out of all Tyler's last words was an excellent one to end on. Not only is it an interesting story, but we got a great wrap up that was only orchestrated because of the video. Despite doing none of the work it makes me feel like I've solved something 😅 Thank you very much for the video, excellent quality as always!
I had no idea the well to hell was fake! I wasn't religious growing up, so it didn't occur to me to take the hell aspect literally, and just thought it was a cool natural phenomenon
seeing those centrifuge rides makes my skin feel so weird. the blend of realism and surrealism works really well here and i can feel acute dread while imagining trying to ride those. they just move too fast, are too big/weirdly shaped, etc… creepy x_x

@@sombertoboggly Aww, thank you so much! That's awesome, I have that storage chest, too! It actually made it into a top ten favorite collectibles video I made a couple years ago.
I LOVE "It's A Fine Day" so much. It's absolutely eerie, wistful, yet full of resignation, heartwrenching, it's perfect. I don't get a cursed feeling from it at all, but I can definitely see how it would disturb people unwilling to confront their anxieties or unresolved feelings.
You were 8 years old when you discovered the hell well video *and* you were actively searching for that kind of stuff?? You were braver than me as a teenager.
OMG congratulations!!!! you're rly on the way to becoming one of my favorite creators on this platform, crazy to see you collab with huge names already! :D
When I was a kid and a student at a private Christian school (I'd estimate this was around 1991 or so) one of my teachers presented us with the "Well to Hell" story as if it were a true story and proof of Hell's existence. Sadly he didn't have the recording, but read us the story that accompanied it. I really wanted to hear the actual audio so I'm happy that years later I could listen to it. I remember the story being frightening but that we were skeptical at the time.
just found your channel and I love the vibes, most spooky youtubers use creepy background but your chill/liminal/dreamcore/webcore style and music is refreshing and makes it super fun to watch. Also the artist of sculpture from the beginning is one of my favorite surreal sculptor folks. Love her critters
Holy crap, I knew about Tyler's Last Words thanks to ScareTheater, but you really went the extra mile actually getting the author's own explanation... I had no idea it had such a deep meaning. Great work with all the research
Username666 has been doing probably one of the most wholesome blind play through of Minecraft, it’s in Japanese with English subtitles! Definitely a relaxing watch
I remember some of these videos really getting to me in my late teens. It's nice to see the misconceptions cleared up. Love the WHANG cameo and how he called you out in the end, hilarious! It's good to see this channel really growing because it's easy to see your passion and hear the nostalgia in your voice.
Steve was a regular at a cafe I worked at 2019-2021. A really nice guy, good tipper. We all liked him. I never saw him get recognized but someone once came in and asked if we knew him.
The weirdest ongoing series of hoaxes in social media for me is the many times Jackie Chan was killed during numerous movie stunts-go-wrong incidents, and The Undertaker converting to Islam.
Such a great video! Your editing in this video was awesome, and I love how your personality really shines through when you're talking about things you're passionate about. I got a good chuckle at 15:50 when you showed a video I saw when I was 10/11 which made me so scared of mirrors I had to walk backwards out of my bathroom. This video made me so nostalgic for the days where I would look up ghost pictures with my friends and be terrified of a figure in a window. Thank you for this video, it was a delight!
It's so weird to think of that as "early internet". Not that I can remember anything else, my idea of internet hoax when it was REALLY early was struggling not to laugh at desperate teenagers trying to hook up on IRC.
Really good of you to collab with a smaller channel like this. I think this Whang guy is going places! Edit: joking aside this is such a cool video. I really like how you have an appreciation for the simple story of an artist wanting to creep people out and/or create an emotional reaction. It’s a noble pursuit even if it’s not the most interesting story everyone wants to hear.
WOW a Whang collab?? You're already in the big leagues Kylie!! I'm really proud of your growth and honestly it's super cool to see you grow! I never noticed but yeah there's quite a bit of cannibalism on your channel lmaoo
This video was so nostalgic for me. As an early internet user, I remember most of these, and I remember ten year old me falling for them lmao. Very well done!
i'm impressed how quickly you popped up for people and gaining traction for your channel, it's amazing i can imagine the channel becoming a youtube household name amongst many in the future lol
I remember when your videos first showed up in my recommended a while back, it's awesome to see your channel grow and this collab definitely shows that the hard work was worth it. Keep it up!
Fun fact: Agamemnon Counterpart was created for a problem solving competition called Destination Imagination. I believe the challenge in question was Anonymously Yours, the fine arts challenge from 2000-2001: “Teams had to find and select a work of art produced by an unknown person. They had to create a story using characteristics from the era that the work of art was produced, and tell the story of the artist. A technological element using technology from the era was required.” There was probably a skit where the team finds this video that had been sent back in time. Teams are associated with schools and I wouldn’t be surprised if this was a middle or high school team. I just get a kick out of this because I did this competition in elementary and middle school. I’m just imagining the little sketch we did one year where we dressed up as moose and ran an RC car through an obstacle course being turned into a creepypasta lol
You mentioning how the hell hole hoax got shown to children reminds me of this one damn local ad that was prevalent in my city for like 5-6 years. It was a religious ad that had the word ETERNITY on the middle, at the top was a cheery depiction of heaven, but at the bottom half was a bunch of goddamn creepypasta/screamer tier images to depict hell. One of the pics was a face screaming with no eyes and a black mouth (think something similar to the alternates from The Mandela Catalogue). I remember being scared of it at first and eventually getting desensitized and annoyed at how prevalent the ad was. They even ran it through those cars that are mobile billboards so you'd get a face full of screamer shit while you were out taking lunch in a restaurant with a terrace. Fun times.
Whoa! I just found you and think these vids are awesome now I’m seeing Whang! And you have shrouded hand in the comments? It seems I’ve stumbled upon an early great one, I’m so happy to see it 🎉
Shoutout to the MapleStory music (from somewhere around Kerning City, I believe) used behind the Mario Nights section. I hadn't heard of most of these before, so that's what slapped me in the face with nostalgia the most tbh.
Good to know that watching corny ghost videos was the pastime of eight year olds around the world and not just me hahaha. My memories of them are so much more frightening than what they actually are
at this point i'm just living kylie upload to kylie upload. Very cool collab! It was a nice trip down memory lane with a lot of the hoaxes, I had forgotten most of them until now! Was also pretty neat to finally see the backstory to Tyler’s Last Words hoax as well. Another great video, hope the channel continues to grow! :D
I've been a fan of Whang for a while but I found your account through the TOMT videos. Very cool to see some of my favorite content creators come together.
Wow… I knew Tyler’s Last Words was a hoax, it was pretty much debunked back then, but I didn’t know they found the guy. Very cool you got the backstory from the man himself!
I knew this was gonna be a trip down memory lane, but when Maplestory music started playing I actually kinda freaked out over it. So much nostalgia there, and good memories of what that era of internet felt like
I don’t mean to sound rude, but Steve didn’t shave his head. Rather, his hair was starting to falling out or balding. Never the less, having all three hosts unite for one moment in the new Blues Clues series was really special and heartwarming.
i fell into this side of youtube with scaretheater too! around 2014-2015. which fsr is making the whang colab super cool to me 😭 the tone both of you take with this sorta content (ie nostalgic feeling i guess??) has always been neat to me. hoping this brings more ppl to your channel!! :D
Irrelevant but that photo that haunted you as a kid, I remember seeing that sculpture live in person as a kid. Seeing it as a kid in person and the exhibit itself was just as haunting of a memory as you must've felt finding it online as a kid. How nostalgic.
oh my god that mario galaxy DS trailer was my entire life when galaxy came out. I probably watched it 100 times everyday trying to figure out how to unlock it and I looked up how to connect my DS to my Wii to get it. What a great video.
You’re such an amazing UA-camr and I’m so glad I’ve been here since the beginning. Can’t wait to see where your channel goes and the collab is so exciting!!!
I love your music choices so much! And all your videos are the exact kind of content I love. So glad that I found your channel. You should make a video about the Boards of Canada mythology!
20:17 Dude, that video scared me so bad as a kid! I remember my dad would always talk about magicians accidentally killing themselves, and so I looked this video up and thought it was real.
KYLIE omg I'm so proud of you! that's probably weird coming from an internet stranger lol, just I've been following your videos for awhile now, I found your channel from one of your blue man reddit posts and it's been crazy to see your channel grow and now you even have a collaboration! that's awesome! it's obvious how hard you work on your videos and it's clearly paid off!
I like the vaporware/weirdcore aesthetic your vids give off. Btw great knowing your getting more exposure you deserve it because you make good videos (better than mine lol). I can't wait for the next bizarre and strange mysteries you will talk about in your vids. Hope you are doing well! I will be happy to watch your channel grow!
Bonsai kittens were one of the very first things I saw on the internet that I was absolutely distraught by. I was a teen and also gullible. I was so upset. Very happy and embarrassed when I found out it was fake
Shrouded Hand uploaded one of (if not the) most popular Cursed Kleenex Commercial hoax videos and I never knew it. Shrouded Hand, who I watch pretty often, I never knew this. The internet is a lot more interconnected than I thought.
I found your channel sometime last year and I chose this vid in my catch-up to say its insane to see how much your channel has grown! Very excited to see where it goes from here :3
I like hoax lost media like Saki Sanobashi. It just goes to show how far some parts of the internet will go to find something that somebody half remembers. Even after that guy admitted he made it up, some people kept looking because they wanted it to exist so bad.
i just found your channel days ago and i'm so hooked, ive literally binged all your videos!! theyre all so well narrated and entertaining, can't wait for your next ones 🥰 ps i was shocked to hear you were a year younger than me LMAO
I've been watching for a while, seeing you get such a big collab is great! You've been making quality content for a while and its great to see it get recognized.
Anak Durhaka, along side various scary Indonesian media with the classic blue background and spooky imagery such as dried up fish and clear hoaxes used to scare me as a child lol. I remember vividly watching those types of videos in the late 2000's and being scared.
The consistent use of the MapleStory OST and Super Monkey Ball OST in your videos is really cool, and not something you see very often. Just makes me smile :)

I LOVE "It's A Fine Day" so much. It's absolutely eerie, wistful, yet full of resignation, heartwrenching, it's perfect. I don't get a cursed feeling from it at all, but I can definitely see how it would disturb people unwilling to confront their anxieties or unresolved feelings.
You were 8 years old when you discovered the hell well video *and* you were actively searching for that kind of stuff?? You were braver than me as a teenager.
OMG congratulations!!!! you're rly on the way to becoming one of my favorite creators on this platform, crazy to see you collab with huge names already! :D
idk why but the fact that shrouded hand was the starter of an internet hoax is REALLY funny to me
When I was a kid and a student at a private Christian school (I'd estimate this was around 1991 or so) one of my teachers presented us with the "Well to Hell" story as if it were a true story and proof of Hell's existence. Sadly he didn't have the recording, but read us the story that accompanied it. I really wanted to hear the actual audio so I'm happy that years later I could listen to it. I remember the story being frightening but that we were skeptical at the time.
just found your channel and I love the vibes, most spooky youtubers use creepy background but your chill/liminal/dreamcore/webcore style and music is refreshing and makes it super fun to watch.
Also the artist of sculpture from the beginning is one of my favorite surreal sculptor folks. Love her critters
I can't believe you actually got Whang on this. He's one of my favourite youtubers
Holy crap, I knew about Tyler's Last Words thanks to ScareTheater, but you really went the extra mile actually getting the author's own explanation... I had no idea it had such a deep meaning. Great work with all the research
People actually thought that was real. They even got mad at the guy for faking his gone gone boom boom. No wonder biden is president.
Omg, seeing you collaborate with Whang is so exciting! You're a great creator, I'm so glad your channel's getting the attention it deserves.
Username666 has been doing probably one of the most wholesome blind play through of Minecraft, it’s in Japanese with English subtitles! Definitely a relaxing watch
I remember some of these videos really getting to me in my late teens. It's nice to see the misconceptions cleared up. Love the WHANG cameo and how he called you out in the end, hilarious! It's good to see this channel really growing because it's easy to see your passion and hear the nostalgia in your voice.
Steve was a regular at a cafe I worked at 2019-2021. A really nice guy, good tipper. We all liked him. I never saw him get recognized but someone once came in and asked if we knew him.
I remember hearing that Steve died, getting panicked and looking it up, and finding that to my relief he was just bald several years ago. Good times.
The weirdest ongoing series of hoaxes in social media for me is the many times Jackie Chan was killed during numerous movie stunts-go-wrong incidents, and The Undertaker converting to Islam.
Such a great video! Your editing in this video was awesome, and I love how your personality really shines through when you're talking about things you're passionate about. I got a good chuckle at 15:50 when you showed a video I saw when I was 10/11 which made me so scared of mirrors I had to walk backwards out of my bathroom. This video made me so nostalgic for the days where I would look up ghost pictures with my friends and be terrified of a figure in a window. Thank you for this video, it was a delight!
thank you for such a nice comment!
This channel is quickly climbing the ranks of my personal favorites. Keep up the good work
It's so weird to think of that as "early internet". Not that I can remember anything else, my idea of internet hoax when it was REALLY early was struggling not to laugh at desperate teenagers trying to hook up on IRC.
Really good of you to collab with a smaller channel like this. I think this Whang guy is going places!
Edit: joking aside this is such a cool video. I really like how you have an appreciation for the simple story of an artist wanting to creep people out and/or create an emotional reaction. It’s a noble pursuit even if it’s not the most interesting story everyone wants to hear.
WOW a Whang collab?? You're already in the big leagues Kylie!! I'm really proud of your growth and honestly it's super cool to see you grow!
I never noticed but yeah there's quite a bit of cannibalism on your channel lmaoo
This video was so nostalgic for me. As an early internet user, I remember most of these, and I remember ten year old me falling for them lmao. Very well done!
i'm impressed how quickly you popped up for people and gaining traction for your channel, it's amazing
i can imagine the channel becoming a youtube household name amongst many in the future lol
This is dope, this has a lot of entries that I’ve never even heard of. Keep up the great work my friend
I remember when your videos first showed up in my recommended a while back, it's awesome to see your channel grow and this collab definitely shows that the hard work was worth it. Keep it up!
Fun fact: Agamemnon Counterpart was created for a problem solving competition called Destination Imagination.
I believe the challenge in question was Anonymously Yours, the fine arts challenge from 2000-2001: “Teams had to find and select a work of art produced by an unknown person. They had to create a story using characteristics from the era that the work of art was produced, and tell the story of the artist. A technological element using technology from the era was required.”
There was probably a skit where the team finds this video that had been sent back in time.
Teams are associated with schools and I wouldn’t be surprised if this was a middle or high school team.
I just get a kick out of this because I did this competition in elementary and middle school. I’m just imagining the little sketch we did one year where we dressed up as moose and ran an RC car through an obstacle course being turned into a creepypasta lol
You mentioning how the hell hole hoax got shown to children reminds me of this one damn local ad that was prevalent in my city for like 5-6 years. It was a religious ad that had the word ETERNITY on the middle, at the top was a cheery depiction of heaven, but at the bottom half was a bunch of goddamn creepypasta/screamer tier images to depict hell. One of the pics was a face screaming with no eyes and a black mouth (think something similar to the alternates from The Mandela Catalogue).
I remember being scared of it at first and eventually getting desensitized and annoyed at how prevalent the ad was. They even ran it through those cars that are mobile billboards so you'd get a face full of screamer shit while you were out taking lunch in a restaurant with a terrace. Fun times.
Whoa! I just found you and think these vids are awesome now I’m seeing Whang! And you have shrouded hand in the comments? It seems I’ve stumbled upon an early great one, I’m so happy to see it 🎉
the 666 video scared me so badly when i was little ☠️ i remember being scared to even type 6 on the search bar LMAOOO
Shoutout to the MapleStory music (from somewhere around Kerning City, I believe) used behind the Mario Nights section. I hadn't heard of most of these before, so that's what slapped me in the face with nostalgia the most tbh.
Good to know that watching corny ghost videos was the pastime of eight year olds around the world and not just me hahaha. My memories of them are so much more frightening than what they actually are
Lately youtube has been recommending me some less known, newer channels and yours has the best quality out of them all. Keep it up
Very well-made video! Also, the fact that Justing Whang collaborated with you makes it even better.
at this point i'm just living kylie upload to kylie upload.
Very cool collab! It was a nice trip down memory lane with a lot of the hoaxes, I had forgotten most of them until now! Was also pretty neat to finally see the backstory to Tyler’s Last Words hoax as well.
Another great video, hope the channel continues to grow! :D
"Where is-a my pot roast bitch" definately has to made into a shirt. I almost fell out of my seat laughing at that.
absolutely LOVING all of the spm music in the background
I've been a fan of Whang for a while but I found your account through the TOMT videos. Very cool to see some of my favorite content creators come together.
Love the visuals in your videos! It's obvious that you spend a lot of time crafting these. A lot more than other youtubers in similar genres imo
Damn, getting Whang on this? Holy hell, that's impressive! Love getting to be around for your rise
been watching tons of dark/lost media content recently and found your channel--great stuff here and love that you mentioned Dan Bell :)
I randomly found your channel from a reddit post you made, seeing how big your channel has gotten since is insane!! Love your content
thank you!
Wow… I knew Tyler’s Last Words was a hoax, it was pretty much debunked back then, but I didn’t know they found the guy. Very cool you got the backstory from the man himself!
wow great and nostalgic video, and congrats on the huge collab! you definitely deserve it
I knew this was gonna be a trip down memory lane, but when Maplestory music started playing I actually kinda freaked out over it. So much nostalgia there, and good memories of what that era of internet felt like
17:40 Windows XP installation Music 😌😌😌✨✨✨ take me back to the good old days...
I don’t mean to sound rude, but Steve didn’t shave his head. Rather, his hair was starting to falling out or balding.
Never the less, having all three hosts unite for one moment in the new Blues Clues series was really special and heartwarming.
I love that the super paper mario is so influential that horror videos can be made using just the soundtrack
The pilotredsun music in the background. Absolutely great to hear! Subscribed!
i fell into this side of youtube with scaretheater too! around 2014-2015. which fsr is making the whang colab super cool to me 😭
the tone both of you take with this sorta content (ie nostalgic feeling i guess??) has always been neat to me. hoping this brings more ppl to your channel!! :D
Oh hey, my comment about Marty showed up at 7:06! Never thought I’d end up in a video like this. Thanks! Love your channel!
thank you!
My two fave channels collabing, what a treat! I really love how your content is well curated and presented, congrats on the great vid 🤧✨
thank you i really appreciate it! :)
Ooh this was a fun one. I love internet mystery videos that I can watch at night and be interested in but not (too) scared by. Love your vids!
Irrelevant but that photo that haunted you as a kid, I remember seeing that sculpture live in person as a kid. Seeing it as a kid in person and the exhibit itself was just as haunting of a memory as you must've felt finding it online as a kid. How nostalgic.
oh my god that mario galaxy DS trailer was my entire life when galaxy came out. I probably watched it 100 times everyday trying to figure out how to unlock it and I looked up how to connect my DS to my Wii to get it. What a great video.
You’re such an amazing UA-camr and I’m so glad I’ve been here since the beginning. Can’t wait to see where your channel goes and the collab is so exciting!!!
Just subscribed! Thank you for making the name “Kylie” cool again! 😊
I love your music choices so much! And all your videos are the exact kind of content I love. So glad that I found your channel.
You should make a video about the Boards of Canada mythology!
20:17 Dude, that video scared me so bad as a kid! I remember my dad would always talk about magicians accidentally killing themselves, and so I looked this video up and thought it was real.
Oh wow! You’ve become one of my fave UA-camrs recently so it’s awesome to see you collab with another UA-camr I love. Congrats! You deserve it
thank you :)
@@sombertobogglyno problem! I also hope you find blue chin someday!
@@sombertobogglyno problem! I also hope you find blue chin someday!
@@Nocturnal_Mee we can hope 👁
Ahh, great background music! Especially loved the Aphex Twin and PilotRedSun tracks! Great choices ♥
Great video too, by the way! New subscriber ^^
KYLIE omg I'm so proud of you! that's probably weird coming from an internet stranger lol, just I've been following your videos for awhile now, I found your channel from one of your blue man reddit posts and it's been crazy to see your channel grow and now you even have a collaboration! that's awesome! it's obvious how hard you work on your videos and it's clearly paid off!
thank you so much! it's always really nice to hear from people that came from the blue chin posts haha
I like the vaporware/weirdcore aesthetic your vids give off. Btw great knowing your getting more exposure you deserve it because you make good videos (better than mine lol). I can't wait for the next bizarre and strange mysteries you will talk about in your vids. Hope you are doing well! I will be happy to watch your channel grow!
congrats on the Whang collab! hope to see more cool guest stars in the coming months
Bonsai kittens were one of the very first things I saw on the internet that I was absolutely distraught by. I was a teen and also gullible. I was so upset. Very happy and embarrassed when I found out it was fake
Shrouded Hand uploaded one of (if not the) most popular Cursed Kleenex Commercial hoax videos and I never knew it.
Shrouded Hand, who I watch pretty often, I never knew this.
The internet is a lot more interconnected than I thought.
Lol that's literally what I was thinking too!
It's like NationSquid and the Christine Chubbuck hoax video
I found your channel sometime last year and I chose this vid in my catch-up to say its insane to see how much your channel has grown! Very excited to see where it goes from here :3
Sick to see you working with Wang! Thanks again for the quality content bro, keep it up!
I like hoax lost media like Saki Sanobashi. It just goes to show how far some parts of the internet will go to find something that somebody half remembers. Even after that guy admitted he made it up, some people kept looking because they wanted it to exist so bad.
Holy shit two of my favourite UA-cam channels crossing over! You deserve the exposure hoping it means big things
Been looking for new channels that cover mysteries and such and yours does not disappoint!
i just found your channel days ago and i'm so hooked, ive literally binged all your videos!! theyre all so well narrated and entertaining, can't wait for your next ones 🥰
ps i was shocked to hear you were a year younger than me LMAO
oh my god this has gotta be one of the best collabs i’ve seen, I luv both of these channels
I've been watching for a while, seeing you get such a big collab is great! You've been making quality content for a while and its great to see it get recognized.
oh hi i didn't expect to see you here!!!
Anak Durhaka, along side various scary Indonesian media with the classic blue background and spooky imagery such as dried up fish and clear hoaxes used to scare me as a child lol. I remember vividly watching those types of videos in the late 2000's and being scared.
A couple of my favorite youtubers collabing, it's going to be a good day.
The consistent use of the MapleStory OST and Super Monkey Ball OST in your videos is really cool, and not something you see very often. Just makes me smile :)
