So all the hardware drops are staged? Outrageous!
He previously explained that some are staged, you can actually tell some when you pay too much attention (watch the LTX footage)
@@ifur thats not true. thats impossible!!!!!!!!!!
They are real TO MEEEEEEEE
@@ifur it was true, but sometimes it so fine you cannot find the difference between every drop
@@tacticalguy6473 did I fall in love with a fantasy
Best advice I ever heard about the entertainment industry: if someone is in front of a camera, THEY ARE PLAYING A CHARACTER.
And if they’re not, they should be.
except on CSPAN
@@bigjoes.1545 Then they're just playing for the lobbyists?
@@bigjoes.1545 More like especially on CSPAN
What difference does it make ? It's not like anyone ever interact with the "real" Linus. Statistically, the real Linus is a rounding error. Only camera Linus is real, and people a always taking about that Linus. Linus might be a figment of the imagination of an hallucinating artificial intelligence and it would not really change anything because 99.99% of the audience will not ever interact with real Linus. It might as well be 100%. To me this kind of "it's just a joke" backtracking is someone realizing that even their jokes carry as much weight as any other of their words, and that's a bitter pill to swallow. Don't change Linus, but also, don't become a dick ! Please !
Good segment. Also fire colton more
First give him a raise
Linus: "I never hired him he just keeps showing up"
People attack movie actors playing the evil character, I’m not surprised it happening for you to as well.
Kudos to Linus caring about those comments and coming out making an explanation. ❤️
No no, thats just his persona, he actually doesn't care but brought it up for the video.
Funny how when it comes to wrestling, heels are even praised. But in a movie, where everyone there is literally playing pretend??? Stupid is what stupid does!
That fucking curse when you act out your character too well.
@@silverhawkroman Good point about heels in wrestling. The pantomime of wrestling and how the audience interacts with it is one of the best things about it in fairness.
To be fair, Linus really shouldn’t have to come out and make an explanation for things that should be painfully obvious. If those people can’t flag jokes to the extent they complain, then they’re probably not gonna listen to reason. They’re oblivious.
Linus "I don't think like like I'm a genius"
Luke "what do you mean?" - Linus is trying to make a good point, Luke continue trolling . What a mad lad.
Yeah, but do you think he meant it a tiny little bit coz he respects Linus? I was wondering about that for a while..
@@michizuri5262 there was definitely some sincerity there. Obviously, he respects what Linus has done with LLT and the reason why he is even there is because of Linus. See the roast of Linus for details.
@@IeatBeef4ever yeah that's what I meant. To me it feels like it's the type of boss everyone just tries to keep up with. A very hardworking person.
@@michizuri5262 there's a difference between thinking the best of someone and then there's being so literal and simple about it that i see in your comment
It's an ongoing problem in general, not just RUclips sadly.
Societal problems have been going on since the birth of civilization, but it has gotten worse with social media. :)
welcome to the tiktok generation. bunch of airhead kids that think everything they see is reality.
@@iris657 Yeah, I remember when Tik Tok was an annoying pop song back in 2010-11. I'd rather go back to 2011 and suffer from Autotuned electropop than live in the Tik Tok generation. Cool thing of note: Kesha's 2019-2020 stuff sounds pretty awesome & more natural.
7 people can't understand nuance.
@@iris657 just say no, say no to vvs and to china spy app number 1
Whenever you think Linus is angry, just remember he's Canadian.
Canadian? C'mon it's a persona... people have to stop taking this stuff literally . . . .
@@-danR and saying he's Canadian is a meme...
1 angry canadian translate to 10 angry americans
"I lean into that persona because I think it's funny"
Well yeah, it is. Keep doing it!
I've always seen linus as fun and friendly on camera but when the camera is switched off he is focused on keeping the lights on at LMG and improving the talent of staff
Love how the banner slighty moves to prevent image ghosting in monitors. Kudos for whom thought on that.
woah, i actually did not notice that until you said it. good catch
that's so cool!
Like this?

Makes sense considering Linus uses OLED for almost everything.
Woah
Oh, wow. To so casually announce the firing of his employee in a random video. Yet another corporate psycho, what a monster!
Lol
I can't believe people as stupid as you exist, like, it's obviously a joke 😡😡😡
@@gewoonleon lol
@@gewoonleon That's what they want you to think. Its how they keep getting away with it.
OPEN YOUR EYES SHEEPLE!!!
This thread is a good example of people in on a joke. Probably.
Jeremy Clarkson calls himself a genius on a regular basis and everyone knows he's not serious about this. Why would it be different for Linus?
ok but clarksoooon is a genius though
Except clarkson really does believe he always knows best...
Clarkson, even off camera, seems to truly believe that his experiences make him the be-all end-all on car opinions.
Yeah. Clarkson is in traditional media and Linus is a youtuber.
different audience
I’ve been a fan of Linus for a very long time. Way before cat tips..
Alright grandpa, let’s get you back inside.
before the firetruck review?
@@methanesulfonic yess!!! I still want that thing lmao
Haha ... I honestly prefer Luke, cos he is a bit more chill & doesn't drop RAM. But hey, Linus is a likeable guy (just look at the ratio, 464 likes, 2 dislikes) Guy on left side of screen: OG Linus, Guy on Right: Chill Linus.
@@thatguyalex2835 Luke is okay
Linus: "I am not my persona."
Persona: "I am thou... Thou art I..."

i hate that this is the first comment i see
Or the Himdaisy:
HAHA IM A INTERNET MONKEY WHO SCREAMS AND DROPS PARTS
YOUR NOT -
LINUS NO DON'T SAY-
MEEEEEE!!!!!!
THE SHADOW OF DROPPED PC PARTS EMERGED
Lmao I knew a comment like this would be there.
thanks, i hate it
I just thought of this. xd
Social interaction has gone down. The reasons are multiple, there is probably a combination of these:
Working parents, being only child, children living in bad neighbourhoods etc. and now with covid, it is down in a chasm.
I remember being a loner and having difficulty in understanding social cues. It ended when I started making friends.
Content creators can do almost nothing, people have to realise socialisation whether they like it or not is essential to survive.
The only time I made some friends they killed themselves
See maybe I'm different but I never saw Linus as being his persona. It was quite obvious when I started watching him that he was not really that way at all. And I have had maybe two true friends, which we stopped being 10 years ago. Rarely go outside either. Socialization seems to make the people who believe that way worse, since their belief and way of perceiving things is reinforced by whoever they are with usually.
Liberals want us to all stay home forever and suffer mental illness.
@@martymcfly88mph35 And Chuds believe there's microchips in the vaccines 😑.
Point is: that's not relevant to the discussion
@@z_zenith don’t worry that guy compared Hasan piker to a nazi they obviously have brain worms
The reason you find it funny to joke that you’re a genius is because you find the audacity funny, whereas some people just aren’t really bright enough to get that you’re aware you’re not a genius - hence the joke is missed. I’ve put up with that a lot, no matter how obvious I tried to make it.
That kind of audacity abounds lately, maybe it was more obviously a joke before people were so regularly like that?
It's because we have too many stupid people around. George Carlins joke about stupid people can't be truer than ever: Imagine the amount of stupid people in the world. Now imagine half of them are stupider than that. I swear if being stupid wasn't a norm we'd have conquered our solar system and been halfway to Andromeda by now
@@liambergstrom8183
I think it’s a combination of people being insecure and people being not very intelligent. Considering how hard I went to make it obvious, I can’t help but think it isn’t the most honest mistake.
@@sephondranzer it goes both ways. It doesn’t matter how jokey you make it. It’s the same idea as joking about a pick up line in case it fail when in reality you hope it works. Or when extremist joke about extreme positions to figure who’s laughing and then who’s agreeing. Unless you outright say you are not humor will assume you’re not actually lying. It’s why popular humor today is so ‘meta’ or ‘ironic’, commit to nothing until you’re sure it’ll pan out how you want it to. I think that’s a fair standard in a world where we hear people say so many things we wish were actually jokes, like people’s personal politics. But this itself requires are certain sense of self awareness and intelligence to develop. Which not everyone does, and that’s fine if you don’t get it.
To be fair, at least some of those comments may also be “not literal”, maybe sarcastic, commenting beyond the joke or at least aware of it. Saying it’s freaky to see Linus so angry, doesn’t have to refer to him being genuine, for example. They could have been aware it was acting, and the comment would still be valid.
Yup. It would be uncanny valley for me seeing an even semi convincing angry Linus. Kinda like finding out that Dora grew up and has 3 kids.
It's still weird to see him be angry, even as a character. Just like how since the Rock only plays likeable good guy roles, it'd be weird to see him play a conniving villain.
Yea that was weird, it's natural that people sometimes misunderstand him, but he of course never misunderstands comments. Duh, a comment is just a comment with a LOT less context than seeing someone on camera, so obviously something meant sarcastically or jokingly may not come through at all. Happens a lot it's even frustrating just facepalmed the other day how my - not so close - group of friends totally misunderstood a joke I made on our group chat... it's like.. why I even try... but sometimes they aren't retards, it just doesn't come through for any reason.
@guaranic I guess both linus and The Rock got typecasted huh?
@@mrblurleighton Dora? Like Dora The Explorer?
Yes, I must admit your acting was oscar level in that one
Some people can't understand sarcasm or jokes, but it's not necessarily their fault. It could be that they are on the spectrum or just general lack of social interactions. Sometimes, it helps to assume good intent.
I don't think this is even an autism thing, I think a lot of people just spend so much time seeing social media personalities only in that setting that they have just developed a subconscious assumption that because that's how they always see them, that's how they are.
I think it's just the natural disconnect between content and reality that media production creates, and too many people aren't properly educated on it.
Conditions like Aspergers cause people to have a complete lack of understanding of expression and tonality, especially sarcasm
@@hypotheticallywhatiskyle meh, as a guy with Asperger's and with a few friends who are also on the spectrum, we all learnt those things. Just because people have a condition that goes under the same name doesn't mean they all exhibit the same symptoms
I'm on the spectrum, and I am an actor. Whenever I tell people that I have autism, people have difficulty believing it because my behaviour, speech, or social presence and perception leaves no reason to doubt this. Some autists do have behavioural problems, or issues with recognition, but not all.
I do see your nuance in saying that it COULD be the case, though, and appreciate it :D
@@OpticIlluzhion I have Attention deficit disorder and Aspergers, that's how I know this. As the term spectrum implies it is infinitely variable - so, it depends. All I can confirm is that out of the 40 members of the behavioral therapy group I went to circa age 16 EVERYONE was to a degree inept at detecting sarcasm and subtle manerisms and tonal chagnes
I really like the 'single subject from the WAN show' clip format.
Thought of this during the make a wish video when linus went on about idols. The kid is in love with the character linus plays in the videos. It was really powerful seeing real linus
Watching you guys reminds me of my own 70's show. Hanging out with my buds in a basement (in Delta). It's 90% of the charm.
When Alex threw the water in his face, I just thought that it was an on shoot prank that caught Linus off guard.
I actually have a theory about this, Linus.
Currently it's late 2021. This might sound like "uh, current year, hurr durr", but this is actually a rather crucial point to my theory.
It's now 2021, that means we've had an entire generation be born, raised, and grow up into adulthood, "by the Internet" similarly to how the Cold War generations were raised by TV. Have we ever considered the possible effects this could have on people's developing social cues? Their primary means of communication with people around the world has been text on a screen, where tone doesn't naturally come through.
Is it not possible that this would lead to an underdeveloped understanding of social cues?
I don't think it's an accident that online discourse has gradually gotten worse as the 2010s progressed. It would be this decade that people born in the early 2000s would be getting freer access to the Internet. Before the age of 10 (ish) most kids likely wouldn't have full internet access.
So I don't think people _can_ discern tone and frankly, Linus, when someone can't discern tone they will more likely assume the worst intentions in people. It's likely a defense mechanism.
I definitely think the average persons social skills are lower than they used to be as a result of the internet and think this may be 100% true. another thought is just people like to find reasons to see the worst in people these days and get offended. We don't know the intentions of these commenters, they could be fans, literal first time viewers, haters, or just trying to farm likes.
+1 good theory
i realy liked this one. maby it is time to start adding social interaction in basic educations in the future.
I think that even with COVID-19, there's still too much in-person social interaction at schools for this theory to hold water.
I think most people get the joke, but a minority of people do have problems with picking up social cues, for various reasons. That's the reason you have those comments.
@@conchayftw That's not really a solution. Social Interactions isn't something that can be taught in a school. It can really only be gained through experience.
And frankly, if they tried this, at least in America, the kids would probably be worse off. They'd probably learn to hate Social Interactions just as they learned to hate math or science or English or History.
When you're forced to do something as a child, you tend to learn to hate it as you grow up.
These people who think you're like your personal must be really confused seeing the same actor in different movies
I got to meet Linus awhile back and honestly he seemed like a really great dude. Admittedly my interact with him only lasted for like 30 minutes, but in that time he was honestly just super nice and courteous.
Love the new studio setup, Looks absolutely amazing!
Backdrop, lighting and colors are spot on 👍
It isn't too surprising, honestly. LTT has a broad range of viewers, and some portion of that is going to be the young, nerdy, on-the-spectrum, poor social skills crowd. Some people are going to take stuff at face value.
To be fair I'm 3 of those and understand not to take things at face value and I do in fact struggle with nuance in a handful or ultra-not-black-and-white situations
you forgot the biggest one: non native English speakers
Turnip kid comes to mind.
would love to get the pre-show on floatplane. I'm in europe and I really need to sleep at the times that the WAN show is on
Ironically, i think you misunderstood that comment about seeing you angry, i think that's more about seeing you act angry, which is relatively rare. Not neccesarily thinking you were angry for real
To be honest, it really is some pretty good acting. I could feel the emotion and the great writing on a physical level with my eyes.
The only time I wondered about your disposition was a few weeks ago on the WAN show.
Cole? was on vacation and and had not made sure that sponsors were lined up and locked in for the show before he left. You called him during the show while he was traveling with his family and put him on the spot, and for a moment, I saw a boss who was a prick who did not respect an employees personal time. I have had a few managers in my life like that and working for them was a living hell. I didn't think at the time that you were acting, I am still not sure.
"NOTHING goes over my head! I'm too fast. I would CATCH it!" - BananaSniffer365
where is the video of the 5 gadgets that he is talking! been searching but only a 2018 video appeared
Anyone who has met Linus in RL, either at the store or at an event, knows that he is just a good guy with an infectiously positive attitude. I think that some of the more negative comments come from a place of jealousy of his personal success or his great beard. I'm not sure which one is a bigger problem.
Absolutely one of the nicest people you'll ever meet, and it just oozes from the man and soaks into those around him lol Went to LTX19, and he was walking by one of the booths. A group of about 5 or 6 fans ran up to him and asked him to sign stuff on his way to the stage. Without missing a beat he said "Absolutely! As long as I can sign and move at the same time." With the biggest smile and a chuckle. Was cool to see Linus take time like that more than once to interact with the fans
Which video was the one where Luke quit LTT?
So the lesson I got from this is...
...if I want to watch Linus putting on a show, then I watch most LMG content.
And if I want to see Linus being real, then I watch the WAN show.
The best way to see Linus from another perspective is to see him in interviews or tours hosted by other channels. You get a whole new look at him from the POV of a channel who isn't trying to sell him as a product
What are those shock mount with the re20?🤔
Jeremy Clarkson, "Now another example of my genius!"
“What do you mean I do feel that way”
🤣😂🤣
I never understood this reaction people have toward an actor when they do something. You're making videos that are informative, but also have to be entertaining. The Linus we see on camera isn't the Linus that lives off camera.
In the case of actors, if you can hate a character that's meant to be hated, that person did the job really well. If you can hate the actor for playing a character that's meant to be hated, that's you being a nut job.
So does that mean you don't drop stuff when you aren't on camera? That those little flops where you would drop something are pre-planned?
I think a lot of them are real, or at least it happens so often that it became part of the “character”
"Why would I be sleeping in the office?"
Cue Archer saying "You wouldn't?"
The people who don't understand these things are the same people on Twitter who try to cancel people over out of context stuff...
Nah those people only looking for any reason.
Haha this was big brain comedy gold I see the underlying metaphors and humor Linus did
If you are ever going to do something with a bed and water, cover the mattress in plastic then cover it again with the sheets. They do make plastic bed covers for people that wet the bed, or you can get plastic sheeting from the local paint store. Then you can do full 5 gallon buckets and be ready to shoot again after changing the sheets, pillows, and blankets.
As the great Master Thespian said "ACTING!" 🤣
I very much enjoy watching Linus and his crew because of their sense of humor. I share the dynamic with my boss where he'll be like, "I need 200% code coverage," and I'll very poorly photoshop the report to reflect 250% coverage and send it to him. Or I'll tell him I give up and he'll say, "You're reported if you do." Or he'll ask what I'm working on and I'll be like, "Just buffing up my resume."
The boss really treats us well and we deliver in return because we love working for him. It helps that he won't hesitate to have a sit down if he knows there's a problem. I sense the same kind of nonsense going on with a bunch of employees at Linus Media Group. People mess with each other but there's still a level of respect there that enables a positive and productive work environment.
The first time I heard the "firing Colton" joke, I was very concerned, mainly because of how derogatory the other comments were about Colton at the same time. It took me a second or third time to figure it out, lol.
In professional wrestling there is a term "kayfabe" that describes the manufactured reality around wrestling fights, including wrestlers' personas. It's very applicable here. Some people can find it hard to distinguish what is in kayfabe and what is out of it, especially when real-world events and references are used to enhance acting.
8:00 whoho, nope. I've seen few comments that genuinely asking whether he is being fired or not.
That hole event of linus sleeping on the office and someone throwing water at him while someone else is recording sounds like it could be real in a channel super fun short.
Anyone have the link of luke "quitting"?
07:50 fan theory: Colton recently applied for a job at LMG and got it.
said "It is what it is" out loud just before luke did, thanks for laught lmao
"can we all just chill"
In this economy?!
Words, on the internet.
Luke and I both repeated "It is what it is" in the same way at the same time and I died laughing after I realised
Thou art I
and I am Thou
To be honest, linus is a great actor and ive always thought so while watching their pranks etc
@@Murderbits But I stil dont know where he got those child actors from.
I do think Linus (and his team) is really passionate in their topic. Tbh I'd apply for a job there and work with them, in case they need a backend web developer.
You can choose whatever persona you wanna portray and thus sanctify. If you choose a bad one, there is literally no difference to actually being that person.
love the idea of linus's employees playing jackass level pranks on him like he's Phil Margera
Make a few behind the camera episodes perhaps? I would laugh and watch videos of the chaos around a shoot :)
Guys, you need to understand you guys are GREAT ACTORS!
I used to belive Linus was a not so good person on some of the old videos RUclips recommended! But now I know its just a persona in front of a camera, and the jokes actually got a Lot better!
Those of us who have watched LTT for a decade know that Linus is actually only angry when he gets quiet. And then, when he boils over - a sudden explosion of frustration. Him being all loud on set - that's all good. I've seen him angry. He hasn't been angry on video for a looong time now.
Furthermore, he isn't just "reasonably intelligent", he's really freaking clever. He just plays the dumb guy on video sometimes. And yes, many won't like his cynical humor when he passively insults people and their intelligence and makes fun on someone else's account, but you've gotta realize something. He finds putting other people in cringe situations so incredibly funny that he can't help himself. It's like he fuels himself with it or something.
Thanks for this. Needs to be said more.
6:18 lost it at the little laugh LMAO
I can't believe he had to explain this...
I remember the old NCIX days and seeing him and Luke test BF3
Linus: No one takes the firing Colton joke seriously...
Me: DAMMIT, I was really hoping Colton would be gone soon... 😁
The only thing I assume is that if there is a chance for Linus to drop something he will .
and Linus's gun in his left hand under the table pointing at Luke!
I can’t believe he had to explain this 2021 everybody TwT
It's probablyin part due to differences in humour between, for example, countries (I'm thinking of a video Alanah Pearce did where she had to explain that she didn't hate herself and that it's just Australians like using self-deprecating humour).
Also, I've met people with certain conditions e.g. aspergers, where there is great difficulty understanding the context, intention, non-verbal cues etc. in a situation and take things very literally.
There are also people who maybe have a suspicion that someone is X, and then confirmation bias kicks in, and anything they do (even in jest) which supports X being true means X is true.
I wonder what computer Linus is using in this channel
Basically that spiderman meme
Thumbnail is perfect. DESTROYER LINUS.
I also am a Canadian and people do not understand my dryness when telling my self despair-aging jokes about myself. They always just tell me to stop being so hard on myself.
Let it go dude! There's a lot of people around the world with undiagnosed alexithymia or even asperger's syndrome..
Always be yourself and you'll be fine!
Keep up the awesome work!
You can tell from the videos that you guys have a good time at work. I feel like some people just want to complain about things in the comments
If I was there I would have switched the water with ice water
I was going to play devil's advocate and say that the original comment could have been in reference to seeing Linus be upset, EVEN IF he was acting. Because I agree that it is strange seeing Linus get well and truly livid, even while acting. But then the original commenter responded to Linus and showed that he clearly misunderstood the intention the intention so nevermind.
So basically this is all just a longwinded way of saying that you guys are great actors. Keep it up! (Shoutouts to the person operating the clips channel btw, these are like junk food, I can't get enough of them.)
I dont think i need to tell you, but dont ever change, Linus and crew. I cant go to any other channel for the kinda humor i get here.
See this is the line that gets the characters in Persona 4 in trouble lmao
trolling is a art
I can believe Linus dropped this bombshell on us.... but then again Linus drops everything.
The one about it being weird to see you so angry makes sense though. Even if it is acting it still might seem weird if they have never seen you like that.
. . . said the persona.
There is a phenomenon with current media trends where people can no longer disassociate a character from the performer. As humans we aren’t used to this much media integration that our brains begin to blur the real with Reality-presented.
I could easily see both Linus falling asleep in the office and Alex thinking throwing water on him would make a good video for Channel Super Fun
"Why is this being filmed" is a mantra every person needs to repeat to themselves every time they watch something on the internet.
They'll never see it coming
Wow I’ve never seen Linus act so meta about his on screen persona
there are a bunch of Sheldoms out there!!
What video is he talking about?
basically, TOUCH SOME GRASS
How does a computer get drunk? It takes a screenshot!
Which is greater? Colton being fired or Kenny being killed?
