“You need to be a little more drained of life, like you’re crushed by the monotony of existence” dude I would make an awesome actor Edit:699 likes, nice
It's really incredible how he nails the awkwardness of early auditions like that, from the little linguistics details (brief stuttering, leaning into the intonations, breathing in the stress, etc) to the smallest head movements, and the saliva swallowing, gosh it's just perfect! _[chef kiss]_ The final "thank... thank you sir" encapsulate this so much, the head bobbing, the cringe smile, nervous laugh, everything - that channel got an amazing vibe, absolutely killing it!
"What part are you here for son?" "S-sir, yes, that's the part of the nervous inex-" *_gulps_* "-perienced actor in his first au-audition..." *_nods_* "... sir!" "You're hired."
The half smile that breaks out when he says "you're so evil" thinking he killed it, followed by the moment of realization/attempt to course correct always gets me.
"You see, in this fantasy world, people don't go on quests or adventures. They just live the same day over and over, the monotony of living slowly draining them of life until they just give up. Most turn to a potent drink to turn off the ability to ponder their existance" "Are these horror films?" "...yes"
The writing on this is probably one of Joel's best written sketches, it's incredibly funny, Incredibly complex and very very clever. A dystopian world where very basic situations on earth are their Hollywood blockbusters, we don't know how high budget or low budget these films are, dax is nervous about playing something so simple (may i add, dax is incredible on this) , and the director has a deep struggling complex at home with his wife using dax to replay his trauma. Its just so so good how it all just subtly gels together. I can't ever stop watching this masterpeice
"You need to be a little more drained of life, like you're crushed by the monotony of existence." Oh damn. I didn't know they greenlit my autobiography to be a movie.
wait didn't you already published "PART 3 - the Third act of my miserable existence I failed to end so I'll try to succeed in living, at least a little longer, maybe, I think - Illustrated for kids and old folks with bad vision or without glasses Edition" ?
- Man at Supermarket is a tale of survival where one Man must struggle past the worst individuals the world has to throw at him. - Man at Parking Lot Office is an emotional story where one Man must deal with the fact that no one will ever acknowledge his existence except to be mad at him. - Man at Office is a mystery where one Man must investigate who has stolen his lunch from the lunchroom. - Man at Deli is a success story where one Man must deal with all the pitfalls of starting up and managing a small buisiness. - And finally, Man at Bank is a thought-provoking tale where one Man loses everything through hardly any fault of his own and yet must find ways to continue his and his family's survival regardless.
When I bring home groceries or carry out food, sometimes out of a sense of self-deprecating bemusement and minor accomplishment I play it up, like, 'I went hunting today!', or, 'The hunter returns with bounty!" I'm beginning to think that, not only do I only amuse myself with this gag... but also that I'm the only one in on the joke.
And coming this summer - Man at DMV, an epic tale of how one man conquered his inner demons urging him to destroy the crowded building he was in, only for something terrible to be revealed..... (twist ending - he gets to the front of the line and dun dun DUUUUUUN has the wrong forms and goes berserk)
I’m looking forward to “Man at Army,” the revealing story of how one man thought he would be a brave hero, only to find himself talking to other young men in a mall parking lot about how they too could be hero’s who become disappointed
I’d be great for the role “Man at Gas Station Bathroom.” The story of how a man on a long journey must stop to take care of human needs, only to see the horrible conditions of the bathroom he has stepped into. It is a horror story about how sometimes, desperation forces humans to do things they don’t want to do
"Imagine you haven't been able to club a boar for many years now, and fear that your best boar clubbing days are behind you. All you can do is mark time until the tribe gives you a gold watch, and pushes you out to sea on an iceberg full of other old ones."
@@viking8796 That was an amazing trilogy. Some folks think the epilogue of Return of the Chairman of the Board was overly long, but it was important to clean up all the loose ends.
@@AmandaFessler Agreed. After "The Dual Headquarters," there was just too much left up for grabs. "Return of the Chairman of the Board" was absolutely necessary to bring the story to a tidy end.
I feel like this needs to be a series exploring the horrible things we see as mundane. Up to the point where the actor goes: "Fuck it, I'm not playing it, that's fucked up. I'll go kill some rats at the tavern's basement - THAT won't give me nightmares.
I agree there's an opportunity to serialize this, but no need for this explicit critique of modern life - it really removes the layer of implicit social commentary into a IN YOUR FACE kind of thing.
@@rayres1074 I think you missed the actual message, it's a bit deeper than that. See, he's sad he didn't get the part, and it made him blue, blue as in sad. But also his face is blue. It's okay it's some high-brow stuff I didn't get it at first either.
@Beau Davis Or maybe the tavern workers befriend a gnome that has hoarded a bunch of gold. They don't like him but keep him around because he keeps bailing then out of trouble. That would enable more stories with going on whacky adventures!
@@altusshow7574 So listen up, here's a story - about a little guy that lives in a blue world - and all day and all night and everything he sees is just blue, like him - inside and outside...
"So, in this world, all sapient life takes only one ultra-specific form?" "Yeah. And to pretend they're diverse, they argue over tiny differences in that form that we wouldn't even pick up on." "Wow, this is a real psychological horror script! Well done!"
"You're fired" "...but you haven't even hired me yet!" "I'm helping you be a better method actor. Try saying that line again, only with less emotion in your voice."
"I could bash a boar on the head and be happy for a couple of months, but in this world people take minor inconveniences and bottle them up for years of sadness." Man, that line has misery dripping from it.
You should do an animation on how every single western has to have a scene where a person from out of town enters the saloon. For some reason, there's an unspoken rule that every western needs to have this exact same scene.
I love this studio, they made a thriller short film called "woman frantically searching for her phone in her messy apartment" and I let me tell you I was glued to the screen. Really looking forward to the sequel where she looks for her half-smoked joint
Just imagine living there, binging classics like "The Test", a thrilling movie about students writing a test. 60 minutes of high-octane pen writing and forehead scratching.
The absolute climax when one of the background character whispers to te voy across from him to get the answer, only for him to not know it as well? Sublime.
@@viking8796 Oh God. Or how the test ends and they don't know what the answers are immediately after? My hats off to Greybeard the Wise, here. The absolute R E S T R A I N T to not follow up such a perfect sequel hook. What I, a bloodthirsty warlord, would do to pick at his brain over an afternoon interview.
The thing about Dax is that you can pick him out in an instant. You hear his voice and the cadence of his speech and you immediately know it’s him. Not to mention his body language and just his way of being scratches an itch in my brain that i never knew I needed. As an overthinking highly anxious person I feel his vibe with ever fiber of my being. Plus the heavy swallow at the beginning killed me
"These people take their minor inconveniences and bottle them up for years of sadness" - Me every time I think back on high school when I should be asleep
Oh man that reminds me that me being almost 40 has occasional dreams of being back in high-school but as of my age now for some reason even though I finished high school and using my knowledge now is able to deal with high school problems with ease. Applying the not giving a F*ck principle.
I never thought of it before but Daxflame is perfect for the role of fantasy person in a fantasy world auditioning for the role of normal person in a normal world.
Hey, that ‘You're evil, I love you’ was pure genius! Daxil really captured the essence of what it is to be a human. That casting director doesn't know what he's missing out on!
"Imagine that the Bank Manager is a Lich, and has cast a mighty drain life spell upon you. You are playing along, pretending to be a helpless pawn, while you plot a mighty revenge."
"Do you want me to shoot my flaming bow and arrow for the revenge plan?" "No no... I said you're _plotting_ your revenge, but I never said to _put it into action._ You can't, otherwise you would be thrown into jail. It's like the dungeon but less cruel." "Seems kinda backwards." "That's how their world works. I know it doesn't make any sense right now, but you'll get it with enough practice. For now just rehearse these lines, I'll be assessing your performance."
"... while you plot a mighty revenge." - that you know deep down will never come to fruition, because you are too much of a coward, and reality has beaten you down so much that all you can do is take a meager pleasure in these fantasies.
I recognize dax's mannerisms anywhere, the guy is so unique. I didn't even know it was him, I just randomly came across this channel. I could legitimately just tell lol

Aw shit it's going to be so good!
Man Gets A New Overdraft Limit
The sequel is just “Man At Banks”
Followed by Man at Bank3 and Man at Bank: Renovation

@@zeadeltanova12 Haven't you seen the documentary called Matrix?
When he said "Thank you, sir" after being rejected, that was a great representation of our world. He should've taken him in
It's really incredible how he nails the awkwardness of early auditions like that, from the little linguistics details (brief stuttering, leaning into the intonations, breathing in the stress, etc) to the smallest head movements, and the saliva swallowing, gosh it's just perfect! _[chef kiss]_
The final "thank... thank you sir" encapsulate this so much, the head bobbing, the cringe smile, nervous laugh, everything - that channel got an amazing vibe, absolutely killing it!
"What part are you here for son?"
"S-sir, yes, that's the part of the nervous inex-" *_gulps_* "-perienced actor in his first au-audition..." *_nods_* "... sir!"
"You're hired."
The sadness should always be present, but unspoken.
"You are evil....you're so evil....er...I love you"
truer words have never been spoken

Clearly this is the part you were born to play
Okay do it again but this time say it while being 5'8.
@@illcuturfuckinface And with a little more crushing sadness. Can't have enough of that, as the video showed us.
Not realistic, no childish abuse or homophobia. No suspension of disbelief in the role.
The sudden, pained intensity of "I told you no such thing" hit me like a clubbed boar.
Dax Flame is a naturally perfect caricature for this style of comedy

@@Buttington_Headerson Louis!
Yeah seriously. If Joel just kept him as a regular, it would be a non-stop source of comedy gold, especially since they improvise everything.
I’m stuck with the “lonely divorced man at home” role of a lifetime.
it's steady work, can't complain
Jesus loves you
Meh, I don't think he'd have liked you for the role anyway
Here's hoping they finally see your brilliance and you get to be in that new one, "Happy Man, Happy Life".
Good luck friend.

“the sadness should be underlying, the sadness should always be present but unspoken”
mood
this is a bad comment
brutally real
The half smile that breaks out when he says "you're so evil" thinking he killed it, followed by the moment of realization/attempt to course correct always gets me.
“The sadness should be *underlying*”...
Poetry.
I love how after being rejected for a loan, the natural, expected response is to brandish your bow menacingly
"I'm going to to play a game, and go to sleep, maybe cry a little."
"Oh nice touch."
Lol!
"You see, in this fantasy world, people don't go on quests or adventures. They just live the same day over and over, the monotony of living slowly draining them of life until they just give up. Most turn to a potent drink to turn off the ability to ponder their existance"

Did you watch the video
His insecurity made it all very convincing
He almost had it.
He was so close, but he choked after he couldn't use a bow. Improvisation is key.
Everything occurs in this universe. I love it.
Yooo
literally
Hi person
What universe. The universe?
Were is Click??
The writing on this is probably one of Joel's best written sketches, it's incredibly funny, Incredibly complex and very very clever. A dystopian world where very basic situations on earth are their Hollywood blockbusters, we don't know how high budget or low budget these films are, dax is nervous about playing something so simple (may i add, dax is incredible on this) , and the director has a deep struggling complex at home with his wife using dax to replay his trauma. Its just so so good how it all just subtly gels together. I can't ever stop watching this masterpeice
"You need to be a little more drained of life, like you're crushed by the monotony of existence." Oh damn. I didn't know they greenlit my autobiography to be a movie.
*Soviet Russia theme plays*

"Crushed by the underlying monotony of existence."

Me: “..Dad..?”
- Man at Supermarket is a tale of survival where one Man must struggle past the worst individuals the world has to throw at him.
- Man at Parking Lot Office is an emotional story where one Man must deal with the fact that no one will ever acknowledge his existence except to be mad at him.
- Man at Office is a mystery where one Man must investigate who has stolen his lunch from the lunchroom.
- Man at Deli is a success story where one Man must deal with all the pitfalls of starting up and managing a small buisiness.
- And finally, Man at Bank is a thought-provoking tale where one Man loses everything through hardly any fault of his own and yet must find ways to continue his and his family's survival regardless.
When I bring home groceries or carry out food, sometimes out of a sense of self-deprecating bemusement and minor accomplishment I play it up, like, 'I went hunting today!', or, 'The hunter returns with bounty!"
I'm beginning to think that, not only do I only amuse myself with this gag... but also that I'm the only one in on the joke.
And coming this summer - Man at DMV, an epic tale of how one man conquered his inner demons urging him to destroy the crowded building he was in, only for something terrible to be revealed.....
(twist ending - he gets to the front of the line and dun dun DUUUUUUN has the wrong forms and goes berserk)
I think your synopsis of Man at Office isn't quite right. I remember a lot of stuff about a stapler.
@@stuflames4769 you sound like a dad
I’m looking forward to “Man at Army,” the revealing story of how one man thought he would be a brave hero, only to find himself talking to other young men in a mall parking lot about how they too could be hero’s who become disappointed
I’d be great for the role “Man at Gas Station Bathroom.” The story of how a man on a long journey must stop to take care of human needs, only to see the horrible conditions of the bathroom he has stepped into. It is a horror story about how sometimes, desperation forces humans to do things they don’t want to do
Brilliant
"Imagine you haven't been able to club a boar for many years now, and fear that your best boar clubbing days are behind you. All you can do is mark time until the tribe gives you a gold watch, and pushes you out to sea on an iceberg full of other old ones."
I love this comment
Nah. That's a choice. Gotta be a bit selfish.
The fuck would a boar do with a watch?
Honestly the “you’re evil, I love you” was spot on. 😂😂
The idea that fantasy's fantasy is pretending to bottle up sadness is a trip.

@@CMCustom112 there is a reason that was fictional
I feel like this needs to be a series exploring the horrible things we see as mundane.
Up to the point where the actor goes: "Fuck it, I'm not playing it, that's fucked up. I'll go kill some rats at the tavern's basement - THAT won't give me nightmares.
I agree there's an opportunity to serialize this, but no need for this explicit critique of modern life - it really removes the layer of implicit social commentary into a IN YOUR FACE kind of thing.
@@rayres1074 I think you missed the actual message, it's a bit deeper than that.
See, he's sad he didn't get the part, and it made him blue, blue as in sad. But also his face is blue. It's okay it's some high-brow stuff I didn't get it at first either.

@Beau Davis Or maybe the tavern workers befriend a gnome that has hoarded a bunch of gold. They don't like him but keep him around because he keeps bailing then out of trouble. That would enable more stories with going on whacky adventures!

The nice part is that since these people have such a genuine, active existence it's not even that bad that he didn't get the role.
You should do an animation on how every single western has to have a scene where a person from out of town enters the saloon. For some reason, there's an unspoken rule that every western needs to have this exact same scene.
I can't imagine western without such a scene.
Wouldn't be a western otherwise
It's not animated but this is pretty dang close! ua-cam.com/video/BqLihABJc84/v-deo.html
And for extra content, one of the rule that before every showdown people have to shut their windows fast, aka "batten down the hatches."
"You're so evil. Er, uh, I love you" is agonizingly realistic. I would've hired the elf (or whatever) right then.
"the sadness should be underlying" Man, this green guy really nailed our world.
I love this studio, they made a thriller short film called "woman frantically searching for her phone in her messy apartment" and I let me tell you I was glued to the screen. Really looking forward to the sequel where she looks for her half-smoked joint
Just imagine living there, binging classics like "The Test", a thrilling movie about students writing a test.
60 minutes of high-octane pen writing and forehead scratching.

The way that none of this was scripted makes it even better.
The thing about Dax is that you can pick him out in an instant. You hear his voice and the cadence of his speech and you immediately know it’s him. Not to mention his body language and just his way of being scratches an itch in my brain that i never knew I needed. As an overthinking highly anxious person I feel his vibe with ever fiber of my being. Plus the heavy swallow at the beginning killed me
"These people take their minor inconveniences and bottle them up for years of sadness"
- Me every time I think back on high school when I should be asleep
I know.....
Oh man that reminds me that me being almost 40 has occasional dreams of being back in high-school but as of my age now for some reason even though I finished high school and using my knowledge now is able to deal with high school problems with ease. Applying the not giving a F*ck principle.
I'm pretty sure we all still feel embarrased to this day about that one time we called the teacher mom.
The angry face between "Can I have the loan please?" and "What do you mean I've been rejected for the loan?!" is really fucking satisfying to look at.
nice jill pfp bro
I never thought of it before but Daxflame is perfect for the role of fantasy person in a fantasy world auditioning for the role of normal person in a normal world.
Hey, that ‘You're evil, I love you’ was pure genius! Daxil really captured the essence of what it is to be a human. That casting director doesn't know what he's missing out on!
"Imagine that the Bank Manager is a Lich, and has cast a mighty drain life spell upon you. You are playing along, pretending to be a helpless pawn, while you plot a mighty revenge."
"Do you want me to shoot my flaming bow and arrow for the revenge plan?"
"No no... I said you're _plotting_ your revenge, but I never said to _put it into action._ You can't, otherwise you would be thrown into jail. It's like the dungeon but less cruel."
"Seems kinda backwards."
"That's how their world works. I know it doesn't make any sense right now, but you'll get it with enough practice. For now just rehearse these lines, I'll be assessing your performance."
"... while you plot a mighty revenge." - that you know deep down will never come to fruition, because you are too much of a coward, and reality has beaten you down so much that all you can do is take a meager pleasure in these fantasies.
