This comment got 554 likes in 20 minutes, there are lots of articles about how this is a scam and only a few about how it’s real. THIS IS NOT REAL. DO NOT BUY IT.
Probably for most Americans and Non-Americans alike, an American spy agency gone rogue is getting a bit cliched and unsurprising anymore. Especially after Edward Snowden. Either that or CIA has hacked into the video’s metrics for PR reasons.
I'm stunned the one about the history of high fives isn't popular. That's one of my favorites. Also about why you smell like your friends. But you really should make the video about bird safe glass. It's not about animals but engineering and I'd click on that in a heartbeat.

I’m actually very surprised that the “Why Some People Sneeze When Looking At The Sun” video did so bad. As someone with ACHOO, I really wanted to know how many people have it, as my friends think I’m weird when I tell them I sneeze when looking at the sun. Guess it’s not that interesting to people who don’t have it?
i'd have guessed a lot of people already knew the reason (at least I did). While I still clicked on the video, I'd guess a lot of people who already know about the topic don't
You made a factually incorrect statement in this video. There are, in fact, 10,000 gecs, which is a lot more than and a fair amount better than 100 gecs
Hey Sam, good job on this!! Even if a few details were a bit off, you clearly put in a lot of effort to understand a complicated topic, and I appreciate you. ❤
To be fair, a lot of these videos I didn't watch, because I didn't know they existed. Especially that video on Netherlands being Scotland. That sounds really interesting!

I’m surprised about the circus spy one, I loved it. As to the ones you mentioned before that, yeah I was vaguely interested but it didn’t seem important enough to find out.
I mean, Hvaldimir is among the top 3 most famous animals of Norway (possibly 4th), after Keiko (the orca from Free Willy who moved to Norway after his release), Sir Nils Olav (a penguin in Edinburgh who's a part of the norwegian royal guard), and maybe Freyja (a walrus that took up residence in the Oslo fjord and ended up killed because people didn't stay the F away from a big and wild animal)
I can't believe the number of times I zoned out during this episode. What happened? I think you can add this to your worst list. Although it worked to your advertiser's advantage. I clinked back on a couple more times to watch the ending and saw your sponsor😅😂
hey i remember that circus spy video! that WAS a good one tbh i only click on this channel's content when the topic is especially weird, because the algorithm knows i love your content and gives me like 10 of your videos at a time on my home page. its interesting that it suggests your content to me so much that i will look past a video because i know another HAI video will be on the next line of my homepage with another topic
That bird proof glass stat about cutting collisions by 90% is bogus, there hasn’t been a good study done on that subject yet. The colissions are too hard to count because not every bird dies, sometimes they live long enough to fly away, and sometimes predators get the dead birds before they can be found and counted. Source: I’m an engineer that worked on a sensor to count bird collisions to see if that type of glass, or the stickers you can put on regular glass, actually work
I don't comment often, but I've watched every HAI video, mostly because of the lockdowns. So I have to mention that the Ringling Bros. video is top notch really does deserve more views!
“Did you know about Yiwu, China?” Yeah, I did, some guy that recently died and came back to life (?!) gave us a tour. I’d send a link, but he also recently ceased to exist (?!?) which makes things a little difficult.
Hey I totally watched that episode about high fives. But I skip all the ones about having friends. I don’t need any more reminders that I don’t have any. Thanks a lot, Sam.
Congratulations to Half as Interesting on your 400 episode! 🏆to you, Ben and Amy for keeping me Fully Interested while watching your channel. As am somewhat new subscriber I must admit to having not watched any of the videos mentioned but would now love to! Just wish that you had included links to each because it is challenging work or complete pain in the 🫏 to have to go back through this video to find out the title, then search for it on RUclips and to then finally get to watch the video about the first high five only to realize it’s actually a video from a different channel about erection difficulties😉🙃 ❤ from Shannon in Canada 🇨🇦 PS don’t think it’s necessary for me to say this BUT everything written after just wish…is complete sarcasm. Was trying to impersonate the writing/narration from Half as Interesting videos.
I get that this is late but i forgot to comment the first time around - I love HAI, i've watched Wendover for ages and HAI is Wendover but more often, what's not to love? I am not ashamed to say that I put on a mix of HAI or Wendover 29 nights of the month minimum to go to sleep to and I'll never tire of it. I've watched every single HAI video on release and this video featured all the ones which are my favourites (sorry for the freedomless spelling) especially the sneezey one because I get that sometimes. I guess they didn't perform well because they were a little bit over half as interesting, maybe 2/3 or even 3/4 as interesting which just isn't catchy enough. Love you Sam and also the servan- i mean writers too! Keep on halving those interests.
i remember seeing the brian from real engineering bit from the netherlands/scotland video and it's stuck with me for a while, but i couldn't remember where it was until now
It makes me sad that the trigeminal nerve video didn't take off, I've been telling my friends about the photic sneeze reflex since I was a freshman in highschool, which explains why they don't talk to me anymore.
i cant believe there are already 400! i havent missed one since i subbed a few years ago, and remember going back to click the interesting sounding previous ones
Thank you for your dedication to keeping us safe from animal videos. I have watched all 400 of your videos but I refused to subscribe until now because I was afraid there was a slight chance you might someday do an animal video. But now that you have promised, i will finally subscribe. Thank you for 400 animal free videos. I am looking forward to the next 400. I would thank your underpaid writers, but now that I know they pitched animal videos, they deserve their fate.
I actually loved the high five one and used it as a story time for warmups in my marching band last year. To be fair though, I've watched every video. Keep it up.

Brilliant!
I remember all of them well. Sometimes fondly.
So, things we didn't want: sports, friendships, going outside
Things we did want: bricks, copyright law, funerals
I mean, funerals are a way to go outside, copyright laws can be considered an extreme sport, and bricks are friends
Also animals
We all know that HAI viewers are plagiarism narcs, so of course we love copyright law.
Ben and Amy should start their own indie animal-based side channel “Animals *are* Interesting” to prove everyone wrong.
right?! my pitchfork is ready and sharpened....torch lit...let's do this....we want animals are interesting!

"Village", Yiwu has a population of 1.8 million, it's a literal city and the Guardian makes it seem like it's a small town.
Congratulations to Half as Interesting on your 400 episode! 🏆to you, Ben and Amy for keeping me Fully Interested while watching your channel. As am somewhat new subscriber I must admit to having not watched any of the videos mentioned but would now love to! Just wish that you had included links to each because it is challenging work or complete pain in the 🫏 to have to go back through this video to find out the title, then search for it on RUclips and to then finally get to watch the video about the first high five only to realize it’s actually a video from a different channel about erection difficulties😉🙃

PS don’t think it’s necessary for me to say this BUT everything written after just wish…is complete sarcasm. Was trying to impersonate the writing/narration from Half as Interesting videos.
I get that this is late but i forgot to comment the first time around - I love HAI, i've watched Wendover for ages and HAI is Wendover but more often, what's not to love?
I am not ashamed to say that I put on a mix of HAI or Wendover 29 nights of the month minimum to go to sleep to and I'll never tire of it. I've watched every single HAI video on release and this video featured all the ones which are my favourites (sorry for the freedomless spelling) especially the sneezey one because I get that sometimes. I guess they didn't perform well because they were a little bit over half as interesting, maybe 2/3 or even 3/4 as interesting which just isn't catchy enough. Love you Sam and also the servan- i mean writers too! Keep on halving those interests.
i remember seeing the brian from real engineering bit from the netherlands/scotland video and it's stuck with me for a while, but i couldn't remember where it was until now
It makes me sad that the trigeminal nerve video didn't take off, I've been telling my friends about the photic sneeze reflex since I was a freshman in highschool, which explains why they don't talk to me anymore.
i cant believe there are already 400! i havent missed one since i subbed a few years ago, and remember going back to click the interesting sounding previous ones
Two of those least-popular videos are some of my favorites. It’s just the one about having friends that I wasn’t into.
Thank you for your dedication to keeping us safe from animal videos. I have watched all 400 of your videos but I refused to subscribe until now because I was afraid there was a slight chance you might someday do an animal video. But now that you have promised, i will finally subscribe.
Thank you for 400 animal free videos. I am looking forward to the next 400. I would thank your underpaid writers, but now that I know they pitched animal videos, they deserve their fate.
Wow. Imagine not watching every single HAI video all the way through, at least to the beginning of the sponsor, without even thinking about it!
I watched the high five and sneeze videos. honestly love it when you cover the most random things
The Toki Pona video was SERIOUSLY INACCURATE
:09 While it is true we have only confirmed 100 of the gecs it has been theorized that there could potentially be up to 10,000 gecs
I actually loved the high five one and used it as a story time for warmups in my marching band last year. To be fair though, I've watched every video. Keep it up.
