"These all look the same..." This line goes by quickly but is one of the sharper jokes in this (great) sketch.
why yes it is : )
This still hits just as hard in 2023, especially after the mud Burn, and I imagine it always will. You've captured something so perfectly here. The excitement, the frustration, the absurdity. All of it. Thank you.
Literally my experience explaining burn to anyone. Love this. Mud Burn was fantastic.
I try!
So good! Can't believe just seeing this. I met my now wife at Burning Man in 2014 the morning of the Embrace statue. We walked by each other in the deep playa turned around looked at each other and now we have a 4 month old son! There is no love like Playa Love!
sounds like a breeding program
Still married?
amazing.
@@ruppellsbooden8917 there's definitely no shortage of potential procreation out there
@@yodaguy6956 yeah so long as you wear blinkers and dont question anything
This is the funniest and most accurate Burning Man video of all time. Thanks for that. Laughed. So. Hard.
HAHAHAHAHA
ME TOO.
"A popsicle, Helen" omg lol
Now I'm flashing back to the time when a naked dude biked up to our camp hauling a cooler on wheels and gave us all frosty delicious cocksicles. Like life-sized monster dong cocksicles. And they were wonderful. No, he did not tell us whose dong they were modeled on, and no, we absolutely did not ask.
Thank you, magical cocksicle man!
Best Every ...well done!
What's funny is ice cold popsicles do magically appear.
I KNOW YOU NOW!!
@@bobturton I NOW YOU KNOW!!!
This is amazing
Lol wat are you doing here
same
AMAZING? THIS IS THE BANE OF MY EXISTENCE. AMAZING?! Stupid....
fucking joel man
bitch ur amazing
Absolutely killer sketch man! Really enjoyed it, shot, written and edited very well.
thanks so much!
thanks! it was a fun one to make.
haha
You kind of remind me of Brendan Fraser the actor. You act very well.
Reminds me of Larry Birkhead
This actor (Bob Turton) absolutely killed it! Seriously hilarious performance.
Watching this is my new post-Burn tradition. Thank you, so much.
This year, as our camp’s early arrival build crew was heading into Burning Man, I had us all watch this while we stopped at the last truck stop where we could still get cell service. When I asked people if they had previously seen this, everyone responded “Yes! But, let’s watch it together, again!” This is just such a delight.
this is wonderful to hear, thanks.
"sounds like coachella" *TRIGGERED*
When he said he rang the bell I fucking lost it
2:18 I've had league of legends uninstalled for half a year now and I still freaked out like, "Oh shit, I didn't even know I was queued up!"
hahha same
whoa, me too!
The hell are you time-stamping?
Baron, probably his reaction.
But what the hell is he talking about?
the sound effect that they use at that timestamp is burnt into a lot of people's memories
Duncan trussel brought me here
tell him I said thanks for the shout out!
Robert Chellew same
Same...and gd Joe Rogan
Me too but in the future.
@@redpilldude8688 same here
I like how this perfectly captures the absurdity of trying to discuss Burning Man both in how douche-y you sound in trying to do so while also nailing how impossible it is to really explain what it's like since it IS so special.
nah, it's not really that special
yep
Nailed it
I stopped trying to explain right away, I first google and show them pics of like fifteen crazy art cars and tell them there are 1500 vehicles like that. That whets their appetite to hear more
It's not that special but it is hard to explain what it's like to someone who's never been.
at 2:17 I Looked at my League of legends client haha
QUEUE POP
saaaaame
...So did I
same here man thought it was just me ROFL
this is the most relatable comment ever. Thank you. I laughed my fucking ass off.
Bartering?! Do you see me walking around with a duffel bag full of beaver pelts and spices from the Orient?!!!
I really hope he got those beaver pelts consentually.
I lived in a house that was the hub for a really large extended family of people who were all connected by monthly raves we threw in the mountains above our city. Naturally there were a crap ton of folks who went to the burn every year and I had this EXACT same conversation over and over again with folks just back from the desert. The worst were the really young burn virgins who came back telling everyone that they needed more life experience or that the concept of life experience itself was something that you could only find at the burn.
Just got back from my first burn, and this is extremely relatable.
Did you get super high? 😂
guess who else just got back from their first burn this year? Bob, the actor in this video. And because life imitates art, what he says at 3:03 became reality... he really DID camp with us at Cohesion! Only took 6 years to finally make it happen
@@Kampy_ That's some playa magic right there.
so, how WAS burning man?
“Everyone was there (except you).” 😂
The acting and the script is phenomenal. I come back to watch this video all the time.
why thank you! what a nice thing to say!
Me, too! They did an amazing job.
You've really been there, right? I really relate to everything you said.
The quality of this is amazing. Writing, camera work, etc. You deserve a ton of subs! Glad to see your video blow up
Super well-scripted, beautifully acted, has great comic timing and awesome camera work. May this become burned in the collective Burner conscience for all time. It's a HIT!
You're awesome
It's hugely better than that BM-parody commercial from last year for Tacos or whatever the fuck it was for
No, you're awesome! That was great fun to watch. It's spot-on, and exaggerated for comedy, for a lot of burners. I like the added part about gifting is not bartering part.
bro we'll get you rich as fuck, I subbed you, keep it up playa!!
this some real funny stuff man
high class. thanks!
I really liked that male actor in Scooby Doo and Scream.
+The Gillos is that who this guy is?! I was like, is that the guy from SLC Punk? Damn he's getting old
Not him...
+Morgan McAdam naw he's the guy from Wing Commander movie.
There's a guy named The Vortex credited in this. Sounds like an interesting dude.
He isn't a "who", he's more of a "why".
dont assume its gender
no he's more of a 'when'
+izshot playz triggered
what the fuck
They both nailed it lol Great acting!
Especially the girl she was milkin it
This is EXACTLY how my friends act when they come back from Burning Man. Good for them. I don't think it's for me personally. The last time I was in a desert a bunch of people tried to kill me.
damn. crazy story bro.
then you should get back into dessert and write the story, of how a bunch of people love you this time.
It's ok Brian, you don't need to spend I don't need to spend over $500 & get sand in your crack just to know that people love you.
STOP YELLING AT YOUR (incredibly beautiful and supportive) WIFE
Maybe it's you that wooshed, David.
H-hey guys, can I woosh!? What's wooshing, sounds great!
Yeah its great! Just lay down and i'll show you how to woosh, hell i'll even whoosh all over you!
annnnnnnnnnd here comes the guy who ruins it
"incredibly beautiful" I'm not saying your standards are low as fuck... but ....
This is EVERYTHING. So well made :) Good job!
Look at all that house and furniture those semi-young people own.
Can't put a mortgage on "experiences"!
But you can take out HELOC to pay for the experiences, so it's kind of like a mortgage
American DREAM.Named this way because it's only a dream
It's not about THINGS, man!😈😈😈
Yes it is, like duh...
Holy shit that was awesome. Well written, well edited and well acted. Keep it up!
...that hit close to home, damn you that was brilliant! Thanks for the amazing sketch
OK, the part about the 747 by the trash fence is when I screamed out loud 😂
i really hope this videos use of the word metamorphosis influenced the 2019 theme.
Thanks for making me laugh after my first burn. What a wild and amazing experience 😂
I've watched this easily a dozen times and I still LOL every time!! SO well done!!!
watch it a million more times let's get me paiiiiiiiid
I am on it sir@@KevinOeser
It's better I let this guy explain it than me right now. SO MUCH THIS!!! THANK YOU!!
I don't normally waste the metabolites in my muscle cells to give a like to a video, but i had to for this one.
I got lactic acid buildup in my quads from liking this video.
@DUBSTEP You, my friend, might have gout.
Gonna go ahead and shut you down.This shit is shit. And shitty shit at that.
+jdiggitty went ahead and pulled a reversal on your negation. this is The shit. you mixed that all up.
¡GOLD STAR!
take some chlorella to replenish those metabolites
You forgot to credit your editor. Whoever he is he did a hell of a job. And the actors killed this. That guy is gonna blow up after this. SNL take note.
Thank you my brother!!
Yeah I thought that too - editing and acting very good, not just the writing. Brilliant.
I cut it my damn self!!!
that's the guy from scream, the idiot who turned about to be the killer
brilliant
Here before a million subs !!! Next year at this time there will be a MILLION!! Keep these great vids coming
So well done! Great script, great camerawork. Funny as hell! Thanks!
hey you're welcome! thanks for watching!
HAHA I love the waterphone sound effect when she compares it to coachella.... fantastic
This is amazing ! Well done , actors were super funny.
Thanks Phil!!
OMG I could watch you all the time. You guys are both so funny! Thank you. I totally get the absurdity of this. It's pretty right on that it's a hard experience to translate for non burners lol! Thank you for making this.
Officially got my ticket to attend this year for real. Can't wait!!
PLEASE keep doing these!!!
Too accurate but still side splittingly funny. It's like every general question you ask someone about the festival they are reticent to answer. Amazing video.
Hysterical Video Kevin! You had me at 0:03 in! This is amazingly timeless.
Real funny dude. Subscribed
Putting on the finishing touches to my art car before I head out next monday to start building our camp. A friend just sent me a link to this.
OMG! This is perfect. You two nailed this. This will be my 14th burn. And I feel like that dude every single time. God I love the Playa!!
And she picks up the phone and says "uh, hello, Lisa? Remember when you told me how great your divorce lawyer was?"
Man you have a new sub. This is super hilarious, extremely well shot and well thought out. I only wish my videos were this high quality and well thought out.
7 years after, your video still makes me laugh so hard 😂
Few days ago I was telling someone about burning man and the person said "it sounds a lot like Coachella" , my memory of your video instantly took me like a puppet "WHAT DID YOU SAID ?!" 😂
Great Video. Mostly accurate. It really depends on the camp you go with. My first 3 burns were ridiculously wild. This 4th burn was everything I thought BM could be and more. Heartfelt Workshops and 5 Rhythms Dance at 10 am every day... Yoga, meditation, Art, amazing food, great people.. that's what I surrounded myself with this burn. It's all what you make of it. Just like life. Boom!
needs more dust
it's still in beta isn't it?
did someone say dust?
Haha that's what I thought too.
Yeah none on his boots or shorts or legs...
Fuck your burn.
nailed it! bravo! hope to see another one addressing the others too!
re-watching this for maybe 20'th time.. i just come back to it. especially after missing it this covid year.
Such a good video! It's good to laugh at ourselves, and I can't wait to go to burning man next year!
From a veteran burner who made a fairly successful documentary about Burning Man. WOW! So great. Perfectly captures the intensity and hilarity of it all. Thank you.
where can i see your doc?
google is a hell of a drug... www.tedmattison.com/blank-cfe8
Brilliant and pretty much what I sounded like up re-entry last year! ;)
This is awesome, great sketch!!!
You deserve a Hollywood star for this shit, GOLD!
This is still a brilliant skit. And so applicable to anyone coming back from an 'epic' adventure. For example, you take a 1-month self-supported hiking trip through the Andes, climb 12 mountain peaks, and come back home and your friends ask "was it hot?".
was it?
whats amazing is how right this is... and funny... you nailed it!
This was freaking awesome!
This is pretty much 90% pf people who do psychedelics their first couple of times. Egos boost, become very arrogant and think they know better than everyone under the guise that they're "just helping and informing others"
Like Joe Rogan?
True, it takes many trips and further years of maturity to be able to speak carefully like Timothy Leary or Terrence Mckenna
+enjoiNirvana Along with the, "you should really do/try it" then not help hook you up with anything.
Ya, let me run down to the corner gas station and grab some acid and mushrooms, thanks for the spiritual advice.
Ouch, come on man that was a low blow.
Us Nancy Gracians have feelings too.
enjoiNirvana its cuz its hard to believe you lived your whole life without trying it and waking up for the first time. Trying to bring people along the ride is almost a responsibility so to say
Absolutely love the shot at 1:01. Great timing. Really funny character here haha. -Revisiting my comment. Things great about this vid - super editing throughout. Reactions are captured perfectly. Acting is superb. This guy is so confident I believe that he's this character. I keep watching his reactions to "it kind of sounds like Coachella " especially when he laughs and screams "what!?" hahahah. Amazing shot at 3:33 where his face says it all -he's done;) And finally my pet peeve - shit audio, which this video has not.;)
I say keep this character going - put him in different situations with similar intensity...it's a good one.
Maybe we will! Thanks so much!
That was awesome man
These two actors need to be famous. They nailed this one.
Give him a couple of days, he'll clean up for his office job in no time
Just needs to decompress, get back to default.
It's the only way he can afford tickets for next year.
that was one of the most masterfully written and performed things I have ever seen.
You....are awesome.
Came back to enjoy this all over again after another amazing year on the playa
Loved this!
this is hilarious!! greetings from mystikal misfits 430 and B.
Thanks Misfits for those blacklight beacons that help guide us 4:30 residents home every night
NAARSFORTEN
Pamplaya oc here!!!!
Camp Fuck Yeah - 230E here!
9:15 and B
Four years later and this is still hilarious
Looking at the upload times on these videos, I expect there are a whole load more videos waiting in the wings. I look forward to seeing more content - this channel has great potential! +1 Sub!
Bob Turton is an amazing actor. Like... seriously, this is really, really good.
Yep, this is epic and how I picture this conversation actually occuring
Coachella does suck though.
F Coachella in all the worst ways.
Brilliantly done
Brilliant!!!
I
KC Budd lolol
All we do is lines for lunch....,,(｡ŏ﹏ŏ)
SHE'S SO NICE AND PRETTY STOP BEING MEAN TO HER
Omg, I lived in Reno long enough to hear all of these stories. Went there with my step mom and did hallucinogens for an entire week. Good times;)
yep... that about sums it up! Great Video! thanks
Just to be fussy: It was our 7 - FORTY - 7 ✈️ that he visited. (The Bubble on top is the cool Disco part...) See you all next year! #CampBigImagination
a detail that will haunt me forever!
God is in the details!
Hell yea!
F*ck Yeah!
this is really good
Keep watching this. Love it.
So good man!!!
this was me after electric forest, this is so fucking spot on
This was definitely written by someone with personal experience.
7 foot tall non-gendered bird monster
wonder what they taste like?
This is amazing!
Amazing work! Congrats, Kevin!
how kind of you to say! thanks for watching!
Weird when I think of bartering I think of beaver pelts and spices from the Orient.
don't we all
Hahaha
Haha, this is awesome. If we can't laugh at ourselves, we're taking ourselves too seriously.
Amazing!!! As if this were the conversation between my bro in law and I!!! I can't stop laughing!!
This sketch threatens to disappoint for its first two minutes. Then "Poe Jammerin'" happens and you know everything's going to be fine.
Ok I thought it was “pa-jameron” like. Cameron and pajamas. Either way, this is wonderful.
Oh look at his face when she mentions Coachella 😂
OMG subscribed.... This is the First time I've really thankful for my Social Anxiety that prevents me from participating in a Yuppie Sand/Shit storm..
Thank you Kevin. You have an amazing talent! I will be watching more!!
