Yeah, someone using a throwaway “let’s be honest” and Dax proceeding to tell uncomfortable truths would’ve been a whole different misunderstanding and Dax just threw it in there for free, hilarious!
This exudes autistic energy... Being on the spectrum myself I've sometimes wondered if Dax is autistic... But I looked it up and there's just some people speculating about it, who can't tell if it's his real personality or only an online persona.
I love how the shot after the credits is basically never used in the sketch. Like they set up the camera on both of them and quickly realized that it was impossible to not break character and so they never used that angle.
The ending makes me think that joel was the one who thought up the whole interaction. They had a normal interaction, but joel thought, "How could this go worse?" and made that all up in his head.
Dax's character's always have a recurring theme of wanting to hypothetically assault someone, like when he was watching his friend count coins and thought about slapping the money from his hand.
It's a common human experience, I think, imagining the most outrageous possible action one could take in a given situation. I had thought I was the only one who had thoughts like that, until I read Sartre talking about it in Being and Nothingness.
Some may call Jamieson "awkward" or "unconventional" - but we at the office prefer "thoughtful," "innovative" and "not entirely safe to be around." Love working with that guy!
@@RyzomaticOrgans it could have, Dax could've been down with a poop bag in hand unwittingly having poked a hole in and smeared the doo-doo all over his finger...and then put them in Joels mouth
dax walking directly on those sidewalk cracks without a single concern for his mother’s back really cements him as one of cinema’s most menacing antagonists
My favorite part of this video is that saying "it couldn't have gone worse" directly led to a far worse situation. Dax not only gave examples, he made it a reality.
Hey it's you! Your stuff is a real treat dude, the perfect mix of humor and philosopical meaning that 30% of the time I still can't grasp despite sensing it's there.
I love that we as humans, when we say hi to someone coming at us from afar, lightly jog toward each other so that we don’t have to deal with the awkwardness of where to look in the time until we’re close enough to talk
Krombopulous does not practice this earth custom. Krombopulous locks eyes and continues walking at previous speed towards target, with corners of foward-facing orifice turned upwards at approximately 30 degrees. Thank you for the information.
I don't do the jog, I just do my best "Willem Dafoe smile" the entire time we walk towards each other, while maintaining unblinking, unflinching eye-contact.
Dax really went wild there, going into detail about a multiverse of other timelines where it was totally worse. Just pray he never discovers the darkest timeline. He's becoming too powerful.
Dax was just tryna be polite and make it up to Joel for the terrifying handshake by coming up with scenarios that aren’t even that horrible but Joel will only realise that when he’s very very old.
for me, its like * leaves house for 10-15 secs * * teenage kid screams out window at me bc somehow scaring people is so hilarious to the 15 yr old brain *
@@TheAbandonedAccount7 Hell, I've had grown men do this to me. Why they still think it's funny as adults is something I'll never understand, especially when it wasn't funny to begin with.
I’m so glad Dax is in your sketches. I discovered him first about a year ago and loved his stuff. Then I discovered Joel and now Dax is here too! It’s like a surprise birthday party!
Every time I watch a new video I find myself binging some of your older uploads I haven’t seen before but i think I’ve finally run out :( can’t wait for the next one!
In the back of my mind I KNOW you guys are friends while I watch the sketches but it's always a bit relieving to see the shots where Joel breaks character to laugh
I like to think they tried to shoot it first face to face like in the bloopers, but gave up and just did shot to shot because Joel couldn't keep it together.
This one was great man. So stupidly realistic in a ridiculous sort of way. I love how you were the one to initiate the interaction so your dumbfoundedness at the slight at the end made 100% sense and was great to watch lol
You can't fool me. Yellow shirt man is holding a Toughness Z from the Yakuza games. He means every word when he says he'll punch you and by god, he's ready for a fight.
Hearing Dax just say horrific shit is so hilarious cause he's such a sweet heart. As always love more Dax content hoping for many more collabs in the future
I went golfing today and finally got my shot dialed in. I finally FINALLY achieved the accuracy I’ve been looking for, for years and years. Since I golf with my dad and my brother on a regular basis and usually suck, it was super cool to feel the accomplishment of years of practice finally making sense to me. A real milestone for me and now I’ll feel so much more comfortable and included when I hit the course with my family…. Watching this video was still the best part of my day 😂 love you guys! Thanks for always putting out really awesome content!
These short films are just so good. This is the kind of stuff that got me hooked on UA-cam years ago, but I feel like it largely died off. To see this work so well, and so frequently, is just a testament to Joel and friends hardwork.
I feel like I know a little bit about you guys as individuals from watching this channel and I suspect you both decided to add that particular “ending piece” (p.s. I LOVE the ending piece- it’s like a little special treat we sometimes get. Please don’t ever stop peppering those in) to reassure your fans that all is well and Joel’s skin remains intact
I love how Joel tried de-escalating the conversation and then Dax immediately went “what if I had a gun?” 😀
This is America. Guns are the key to de-escalation.
@@grabble7605 The only way to de-escalate a situation is to have a good guy escalate the situation.
@@grabble7605 true, all people with a gun should de-escalate themselves to avoid any future conflicts
He agrees first, “True yeah… or what if I had a gun?” 😂
There was no escalation, Dax was just talking
This interaction would have been a lot less awkward had Dax just diffused it with some dead baby jokes
Lmfao I forgot about that one watching that next
Legitimately just watched that video and then this one, spent the whole time thinking "this is the SAME character as last video"
Dax is a master of making believable awkward stuttering
@Don't read profile photo ok
@Don't read profile photo it's fun reporting all your comments as spam
He kinda does it for real that's why
@@nussiskate3 agreed
He’s as good at awkward stuttering as Tim Heidecker
Dax is uncannily good at acting, I can't actually tell if he's acting
No one can
he accentuates his own personality, its a trick a lot of actors use to get a convincing performance
@@uithamyeah like used by actors to an extend but ‘awkward comedians’ sometimes use it ALOT xd
Like nathan fielder for example
Even Dax doesn't know if he's acting.
He was good in 21 jump street too
Dax was making sure to correct Joel's false assertion, an important action in today's world of half-truths
Dax doesn’t take any half measures
What is Hyperbole...? 💀
Fake news
misinformation bad
He's really solid on that front, but hasn't learned to pick his battles.
Dax is such a natural fit for Joel's style, glad he's one of the main cast
You have an excellent first name.
Are you guys Everett the same place/time or would that be a paradox?
Dax is correct. There are multiple outcomes that could have been worse than the initial encounter.
I don't know, that hand shake was hard to watch.
well done bro, you proved him wrong. Congratulations
To be frank, I’d rather have my skin peeled off my entire body using a potato peeler than to have such a horrible greeting like that
The video should have ended at that point, negating any need for further conflict.
Dax is me as a teenager. I had to learn to stop doing this, lol.
I love how Dax interprets “that couldn’t have gone worse” to mean “please be completely honest about how you feel about me”
Yeah, someone using a throwaway “let’s be honest” and Dax proceeding to tell uncomfortable truths would’ve been a whole different misunderstanding and Dax just threw it in there for free, hilarious!

@@bananawitchcraft This is an amazing meta joke
Joel comes up with the funniest videos & it's very fun to be in them!
You killed it Dax 😎
He literally writes the perfect roles for you lol
He may have come up with the video Idea Dax but your acting in it was SO funny! I Thought this was hilarious
Those outtakes at the end were so funny, cool to see you riffing
Keep up the great work Joel's writing and your acting complement each other so incredibly well
This dude is the final boss of saying hello
I don't think I'll ever get over this brand of awkward and wonderful humor. And Dax is so good at it.
Top tier cringe/awkward comedy that I live for
His tik tok is a gold mine
Dax is it.
the shakey voice...
That mf had me convinced for like 3 years the character was real. It blows your mind seeing him in his movies if you grew up watching DaxFlame 😂
The extremely subtle eye movement at 1:39 conveys so much meaning. It's just priceless.
I think it’s such a funny paradigm shift that Joel made from being the awkward guy to being the normal guy when Dax joined the crew.
My thought when I watched this exactly lell
I only understood 92% of your comment but it's enough to say "true"
@@hel2727 you seriously did the math
@@hel2727 How exactly did you get to that number?
@@StefanCreates there are 25 words in the original post so if he only understood 23 he would only understand 92%
I love how the shot after the credits is basically never used in the sketch. Like they set up the camera on both of them and quickly realized that it was impossible to not break character and so they never used that angle.
The "What if I put my hand in your mouth" bit had me dying, my god Dax is so good in this
what if he got hit in the groin with a frozen sludgehammer?
He’s great Lmaoo
🤣🤣🤣
It's such a dumb mental image too lol, I can see why he couldn't keep a straight face when Dax was saying that
The ending makes me think that joel was the one who thought up the whole interaction. They had a normal interaction, but joel thought, "How could this go worse?" and made that all up in his head.

@@campbell1446 that was just for fun

Not safe for work 😳
this makes me feel better about every little awkward interaction that I've had; could've gone way worse.
"Lady walking dog" really stood out for me, the way she was just there, and then she wasnt...masterpiece
At least she cleans up after her dog! 👍🐩
@@acornandrew Actually she was cleaning up after Joel.
@@owllymannstein7113 oh heavens

I don't know who the new guy is but he has the kind of horrifyingly awkward energy this channel needs.
aw man, you should google him! This dude is a blessing of the internet!
Joel is pretty good too I guess.
Check out "The Ice Cream Man" iDubbbz did, pretty fucking interesting dude lol
Have you ever seen project x the movie? He's the "camera man"
dax is unironically one of my favorite people
hi dani
Dax is definitely one of the world's most hidden comedic geniuses.
here before dani fans start commenting
You could remove the word unironically from this sentence and it would be a better sentence.
Dan the man
Dax has grown to become such a good actor, I remember in the early days on this channel where he was more awkward, but now it's just natural
every awkward conversation I get into now, I'll be thinking, "well at least their hand isn't in my mouth", and I will find happiness in that.
"this conversation sucks, their hand isn't even in my mouth 😔"
nah bro , you be jameson , and put your hand in their mouth . it works !
And then Fresh became enlightened.
Thanks
dax walking directly on those sidewalk cracks without a single concern for his mother’s back really cements him as one of cinema’s most menacing antagonists
yeah, but it could be way worse. He could do it intentionally... with his hand in your mouth.
Do kids today still have stuff like that?
@@sleepyredmoo Yeah lots of kids have mothers still.
Dax is such an unexpected GOOD actor. I didn't tought he was terrible, but definetly didn't know he was so good. He's always on point.
Holy smokes Dax knocked it out the park with this one, absolutely busted my gut with his delivery!
My favorite part of this video is that saying "it couldn't have gone worse" directly led to a far worse situation. Dax not only gave examples, he made it a reality.
I wish I had reassuring friends like that.
Hey it's you!
Your stuff is a real treat dude, the perfect mix of humor and philosopical meaning that 30% of the time I still can't grasp despite sensing it's there.
Mattias Pilhede you've got a friend in me . great channel man !
I don't think I've ever laughed at just a camera cut. Joel, the close up cut at 1:36 is brilliant!
The wavering in his voice when he says "what if I had a gun right now?" is simply perfect.
Dax's delivery of this is too good, looks like he's really in the moment thinking of all these things, hilarious man
I love that we as humans, when we say hi to someone coming at us from afar, lightly jog toward each other so that we don’t have to deal with the awkwardness of where to look in the time until we’re close enough to talk

I act as if I didn’t see you until we are five feet apart; just far enough for a quick greeting.
I love the way he speaks, the timbre, the hesitancy... it’s beautiful.
Dax really went wild there, going into detail about a multiverse of other timelines where it was totally worse. Just pray he never discovers the darkest timeline. He's becoming too powerful.
We simply cannot contain the power of Daxflame.
Cursed to randomly have moments of experiencing hundreds of timelines at once, and the experience is so overwhelming they have to share what they saw
This one hits different, great work
This is oldschool Dax. The way his words just bubble out and keep coming, taking you on a ride like nothing you've ever experienced before. I love it.
This is one of the funniest Joel videos I’ve seen in a while good work!
Joel humored Dax, deep down NOTHING, not even being skinned with a apple skinner, is worse than a bad handshake
Dax was just tryna be polite and make it up to Joel for the terrifying handshake by coming up with scenarios that aren’t even that horrible but Joel will only realise that when he’s very very old.
I love these sorts of videos
Dax has exactly the look in his eyes that would make me think these are the things he's thinking.
@Don't read profile photo we won't.
the Dax outtakes are the most realistic i've ever seen him be.
I’m mean, he’s not wrong
@DONT CLICK MY VIDEOS!! MY VIDEO IS FOR COURAGEOUS
OK, I won't.
Dax is genuinely a good actor for these kinds of roles. I wish we could see more of him in movies, like 21 jump street.
0:58 "peel your face off with an apple skinner " -- the nonchalant presentation of this line is nothing but gold
this is like the call of the void. you're not gonna say or do those things, but there's always a subtle urge to.
See this is why I stay inside and never have or start these conversations.
Have a walk to a nearby park! Please yourself buddy!

This is my mind every single day
This is a masterpiece. We must protect Joel, we can never lose Joel.

Nothing could be worse than losing Joel
he be legend
PROTECT HIM AT ALL COSTS

@2:29 Dax's walkaway is great. It looks like instead of walking he's falling onto each step
This is top contender for favourite of yours for sure! Dax is so much like what he was in the early days here- what a throwback! Loved it!
Puttinh Joel and Dax together in this sketches was such a great idea, its like you were made for each other.

it could of been way better too tho! I think you should make a sequel!

could've, i'm sorry
Love how you always include the little outtakes. Somehow makes everything more funny and entertaining. Keep it up!
That woman picking up her dog’s business crossed the street to get away from the awkwardness 🤣

wow, you guys continue to amaze me!! so good
Hearing Dax say "or if I curb stomped you" fucking sent me holy shit
This is such a good short. Dax is hilarious. Joel's reactions crack me up. The filmmaking wraps it all together. 💯

I like how the lady picking up dog poop just disappears and shows up over and over
"That could not have gone worse."
Dax: In this essay, I will-
I love how sometimes there is a lady and dog behind Joel, and then she's gone, but then she's back again
This sketch is the perfect application of Dax's immeasurable talents.
