Guys watch STRANGERS WITH CANDY if you've never seen it but you love this video (or Cole Escola's work in general). Stars Amy Sedaris and before Colbert report Steven Colbert and it is clearly big inspo for Cole's work.
Omg that’s so true! And no that person wasn’t being homophobic. Ryland makes jokes on him being a housewife all the time! It’s a rolling joke in their household.
@@ghostcat9621 that is somewhat more difficult to explain. Perhaps we are to infer that the Mom spent a lot of time there intoxicated and/or very involved in something and thusly "lost" time, i.e a lot more time passed than she realized because of what she was doing
Kids: Where did mom go? Unmentioned father: Oh, she'll be back in a couple of months. Kids: Oh well. At least we got this good ol' orange juice until then.
Well, it was only a minute and 20 seconds. Noticed the uploader, checked the channel then deducted it. It would take 25 seconds for Benedict Cumberbatch and Robert Downey Jr. to figure that out.
I dont know why this was in my recommend, but i legit thought this was a real woman with a deeper voice up until like 50 seconds in. The arms gave it away lmao
This is some of the best writing and acting I've ever seen. I was pulled into this fictional world and I forgot about the fucking orange juice. You deserve your own show.
No but seriously, the amount of sugar in the average glass of bottled juice is SCARY AF, i'm talking practically soft-drink (soda) levels. This was awesome btw.
That’s why I always water it down when I get to half a cup. That and it reduces my acid reflex reactions and it makes the juice bottle last longer before the next grocery run.
The acting is perfection. The gestures remind me of Alicia Silverstone in Clueless, and a bit of Drew Barrymore as well. I have watched this about twenty times already. Bravo!
I just realized, after watching this for the millionth time, that she yells out to her "boys", but then calls out to "Katie" about forgetting the pink backpack. I love stuff like that.
This still slaps and I am angry that Cole isn't a billionaire because this is a comic genius. Cole, John Early, Kate Berlant, Tim Robinson, Jessica Kirson, and Ashley Gavin are fucking top tier.
This is buried GOLD on UA-cam. SO glad I found Cole's channel via Kaya's rec of Our Home Out West. Cole is by far one of the best modern comedy writers and actors I've found in a long time, and I'm LOOKING. I think a lot of comedians miss the nuances of performing these parts realistically which is the best way to match great writing and contrast outlandish situations like in these skits.
Is it bad when I heard "And I fired to warning shots" I thought it was going to say "Into their heads" and burst into Cell Block Tango. -_-. Musical Theatre Problems.
What a fun video! I used to watch this every once in a while to raise my spirits. Then, I hit a rough patch. I turned to the video more and more. All I could think about was the next time I viewed it. My wife didn’t understand... I suppose that's why she left. Her stares of disapproval as I watched the video again and again.. - it just tore me apart inside. - I’m not saying we didn’t have our problems, me struggling to keep the wig business afloat and her exhausted from processing the livestock. We were just different people. When she left... I turned to sex work to make ends meet. At first I hated myself, but... over time.. numbness set in. I felt free. Free from a world that had expected too much from me. But the numbness gnawed at me. I started cutting to feel something.. anything. Before long, I was just another shredded wig no one cared to buy. Spider kicked me out when the tricks stopped paying. “Damaged goods" were his last words to me. Then things really got bad. If those missionaries hadn’t found me in the rest area, I don't know where I'd be now. Certainly not anywhere I could enjoy this hilarious video!
Cole, I have loved you since “Difficult People” and when I saw your beautiful face on “Search Party” and then realized you would own an entire season *I DIED* Thank you for being brilliant and making me a happy orange. Love you🙋🏻♀️
This is...amazing. I don't even have words to properly describe it. Amazing acting, amazing writing just...yeah. Also, get me a fucking bottle of Happy Orange, I'm sold.
As a bisexual I was attracted to the woman and then on realising she's played by a male actor I was attracted to the male actor too. God I love being bi.
Does being bi mean hairy arms, a cleft chin and a deep voice don’t tip you off male or female? Like, maybe that’s the reason you’re bi...(Sorry, not trying to be a dick, at least not totally.) Also, this is funny, I was listening to Amy Sedaris talk about how she hired him for her show because of this video on Andy Richter’s podcast, and Andy like practically gushes about Cole and how “attractive” he is (but clarifies he means magnetic). (That was all they said about him, though. It was maybe in the second half. Oh, and Amy also said “he can do anything.”)
I showed my mother this video and all she said is "You can also make juice from real oranges."
OMG I'm crying, parents are so weird
This is the most mom thing ever
I showed it to my Thai friend, he said: "You cut the orange, you squeeze the orange. Okay, you done but its better to just eat the orange."
problem solved theater school monologue
She's been there too
Let’s be honest, if you want to drink orange juice, you should just eat the orange.
This. This is art.
SethEverman thank you Seth for making me find this on tumblr
Did you play the piano for this video?
Why do I see you everywhere, Seth?
Hi bald guy
This isn't art . This is EVERYTHING .
This video is part of me. It lives in my soul.
Same!
Yesss Garrett yes
I just descovered this video today and I can't believe I didn't find it sooner. Now I feel like it's part of me too haha

Be honest.. you didn’t look for this, but you weren’t disappointed
This was one of those videos I hit accidentally with my thumb while scrolling. %100 worth the mistake
inarisarp 😂😂agreed
It is a gift
P1NK ur profile pic is neat
soup thanks! Yours too💕
There's a certain Scarlett Johansson look about this mom ...
It must be the balls.
It’s the eyes and nose and mouth I believe
Kathleen Turner voice.
And sound
Exactly what I thought.
“I took the plates off my Honda.”
Truly the despair event horizon
Gone Girl vibes 😂
As you do...
i knew after “i ended up in arizona” it would go entirely downhill
This is Thelma and Louise, right? I've never actually watched it.
“you lose time in phoenix” is the truest statement i’ve ever heard
okay, im trying to leave literally and i swear this video, 4 years of my life and nothing to trully show other than pain.
I'm from Tucson. We all think that about Phoenix.
Okay! I'm finally getting out of here tomorrow if the universe wills it to be
_I was never truly born until I moved out of Phoenix_
I spent 7 years in Phoenix. Came back home to Nebraska with a bachelors degree and a heroin addiction.
This is literally just Ryland Adams once he and Shane get married.
He does look alike ryland 😂😂😂
Omg that’s so true! And no that person wasn’t being homophobic. Ryland makes jokes on him being a housewife all the time! It’s a rolling joke in their household.

omg hahha
You don't spend time in phoenix, you lose time in phoenix.
Greetings from Russia, guys.
Explain me please, what "Phoenix" means in this context.
@@ghostcat9621 Phoenix is the Capitol City of Arizona
@@scottgardner2950, ok, ty.
@@scottgardner2950, it would be nice, if you explain, why people "wasting" time in this place?

This has a very “Whitest Kids U Know” vibe to it
I thought it was, lol
Guy in drag that sounds just like Darren + straight face.
I love it 😂😂😂😂
Why bc of the cross dressing?
I didn’t that until you said but now I can’t not
Christ Blair St.Clair really had it rough after Drag Race, didn’t she?
This is from 2015. Years before Blair was on tv.
Blue North not all jokes are good jokes. Lol
@@IMbirdieful yeah but fortunately this joke was good :)
@@OliverHeikkinen I would have been funny if they said "Wow Blair has come a LONG way since 2015" cause that would make sense.
@@Eyecyou64 I do. I'm sorry for being frustrating.
can you replace SNL writers please????
Yes! I second this motion!!
there is a GREAT idea!
GOD OH PLEASE
Yuser
The people at SNL wouldn't get it. Too much nuance.
"I um, I fucking lost it"
"Does this ever happen to you?" *Cut to black and white scene of the dog you bet on brutally losing a fight in a dirty ring*
Michael Vick shaking his head in the back
“Then get, Vick Stick!!™️ beat the win into them, be the best.”
The way the camera lingers on her after she says, “Trust me, I’m a mom.” , is brilliant.
This is a he.
Michelle the character he was playing is a woman. I was referring to the character.
I think the line should’ve been: “You can trust me. I’m a mom.”
The music wavering for a moment was a touch of genius
I may or may not be considering using this as my monologue for my audition for elf

What really bothers me is the GIANT jug of milk just sitting out next to the stove.
thats a very suspicious jug of room temperature milk
Maybe its paint?
I wasn't aware of it, now it's bothering me too.
Its just a half white pitcher
Congratulation, you're a mom. Go spread the news.
Kids: Where did mom go?
Unmentioned father: Oh, she'll be back in a couple of months.
Kids: Oh well. At least we got this good ol' orange juice until then.
You literally just described the whole plot of desperate housewives.
This is legitimately a masterclass in acting
This took me 5 minutes to figure out that the actor was a guy
Wait what
Yeah, I spent the whole video unsure
Ngl kinda lookin bad tho
Pretty hot no homo doe
Well, it was only a minute and 20 seconds.
Noticed the uploader, checked the channel then deducted it.
It would take 25 seconds for Benedict Cumberbatch and Robert Downey Jr. to figure that out.
Not the Scarlett Johansson we deserved, but the one we needed.
You beautiful shining light in the darkness...

This felt like a story from Night Vale. Thanks for sharing your amazing acting talent on UA-cam!
+Genevieve Shellman That's exactly what it felt like!
This has been our children's fun fact science corner.

Hech Rhymes I thought something was wrong with me but guess I’m just bored lmao
When I found out someone else had watched this 10+ times in lockdown..........I f×××ing lost it

The worst part of this is that she had to spend time in Scottsdale and Phoenix.
Especially Scottsdale jfc
@@djdoggynutellanutsack6766 Awww no, I love Arizona. Just not Scottsdale 😂
she didn't spend time in phonix tho, she lost time in phonix.

How?

Idk why this came into my recommendations 4 years later but I’ve never been more appreciative. This is art.
0-100 real quick
Allison from Orphan Black
oh my gosh this was amazing
THE ACTING
This is Jason Bateman's Ozark plot before Ozark even existed.
That's hilarious! "I f**ing lost it"
This is beautiful! HAHA!
BUCK, I LOVE YOUUUUU!
This escalated from a commercial to a horror movie scene back to a commercial.
This is so disturbing.
I’ve watched this video like 10 times today. This is literally one of the funniest things I’ve ever seen in my entire life.
deadsy2005 same, it’s addicting
Happy Orange it is
I've watched this an alarming amount of times
I know that's a guy, but he's weirdly hot
I thought it was a woman, than I saw the hairy arms and I figured transgender, then I just realized crossdresser.
@@jrg305 or a costume?
@@jrg305 It's literally a costume for a comedy sketch???
By your logic 99% of actors are crossdressers lmao.
And yes, I agree with OP, they are a very beautiful human...

No but seriously, the amount of sugar in the average glass of bottled juice is SCARY AF, i'm talking practically soft-drink (soda) levels.
This was awesome btw.
Fruit juice is bullshit. At least while eating the fruit, the fiber makes so your insulin isn't pumped through the roof.
That’s why I always water it down when I get to half a cup. That and it reduces my acid reflex reactions and it makes the juice bottle last longer before the next grocery run.
the actor is secretly Ryland Adams and you can't change my mind.
The acting is perfection. The gestures remind me of Alicia Silverstone in Clueless, and a bit of Drew Barrymore as well. I have watched this about twenty times already. Bravo!
Oh my god, I was hanging on every word. This is gonna have a million views by tomorrow
You had to wait four years, hows it going
Yeah still not at a million
@@Martel4 I was wrong but we got there in the end 👍
Truely a work of art. Happy orange is the only drink I give my kids now
I just realized, after watching this for the millionth time, that she yells out to her "boys", but then calls out to "Katie" about forgetting the pink backpack. I love stuff like that.
I mean...she could have three children, two boys and a girl. Or she could have seventeen non-binary children all named Katie!
When she held up a backpack and said “don’t forget your lunch,” I knew that this would be something like SNL
the writing in this thing is amazing. love you cole!
Tyler Oakley shared this on tumblr! How did I not know about you before? You're amazing!
This is my favourite drag act I’ve ever seen
Always a good day to be reminded of Cole's brilliance.
This is brilliant. The acting, writing and the filmmaking behind it are all amazing.
My grandma thought this was real lmao
Strangers With Candy was ahead of its time.

Day 23, I have to admit I did miss a day, but I watched it twice to make it up.
Day 36: I just realized I will be in a hotel with people all weekend. Will force them to watch with me.
