Hey, get a dishwasher. Then you don't ever have to bother with dishes...also try to make friends at work. You're forced to interact with em, might as well get along.
Tell people you got it from The Pardoner’s Tale from Chaucer’s The Canterbury Tales, in it there’s an old man who can’t die and he says something along the lines of “Even death won’t take me” Then while your friends are marveling at your big brain, you can cry inside about the reality
I came for the peeing yourself repeatedly and hanging out outside for two days straight. I stayed for the existential hope of friendship and the bonds that tie us together in this great cosmic void.
The weird thing is that the social bar can be filled by chatting on a computer. Does his room not have one or did he forget to add it to his Sims room.

He wasn't a duplicate sent to destroy everything Brian had built. He was A BRIAN DAVID GILBERT WHO HAD ASCENDED TO THE HIGHEST PEAK OF EXISTENCE THROUGH HIS DEVOTION TO SONNY THE HEDGEHOG AND HIS QUILTING CIRCLE. *TECHNICALLY NOT MURDER, DEFINITELY BAD!!!*
Not gonna lie, started tearing up at this one quite a bit. All jokes and memes aside, this was a very important and uplifting message that more people like myself need to know. You made me realize that, when you're at your lowest point and everything seems hopeless, it's always okay to ask for help from people you care about. You don't have to struggle alone. Thank you so much, Brian...
These words just added to the overall effect of the video. Thank you :') Sending you so much love. Please remember that you are worthy of happiness and support throughout your life no matter what!

When I was in the psych ward I was really bored alot of the time, and my friends coming to see me and break me out (/J) for supervised outings was one of the few bright spots. So I decided to paint a sad clown, initially to brighten up my hospitals room but after I got out, I decided I was going to give it to the first of my friends to move out. I'm going to give them my celebratory sad clown tomorrow ( they actually have a creepy hallway to hang it in!) Idk why I felt the need to share this other than to say thank you bdg for making a terrible time a little better
And the Lord spake, saying, "First shalt thou make a RUclips comment. Then, shalt thou garner replies in count of three. No more. No less. Three shalt be the number thou shalt garner, and the number of the garnering shall be three. Four shalt thou not yet garner, nor either garner thou two, excepting that thou then proceed to three. Five is right out. Once the number three, being the third number, be reached, then, knowith thou that thou hath made a funny RUclips comment."
I can't stand blank walls, so in college I started hitting up thrift stores for flat bedsheets to pin on the walls like tapestries. They cover a lot of empty space, they're easier and cheaper than paint or wallpaper, you can change them as often as you want, and they come in all kinds of colors and patterns. Kid's sheets are especially fun, I've had Mario, TARDIS pattern, Hogwarts, and Spider-Man over the years. Two bucks and a few pushpins can completely transform a room.
Probably not the first time he came home to find a bunch of eerily well made sad clown paintings on the walls. I mean, with Brian as his roommate, chances are it's not even the first time.
Fun fact: I once broke a lamp at my (now ex-) girlfriend's house and the landlord kindly explained to me that it was a Venetian artisanal design piece worth 2700 €. A fun time was had by all.

11:30 IT'S THE DARTBOARD. Brian releasing the masterpiece that is "It's Time to Get Good at Darts" during quarantine was no coincidence. He already knew of the dartboard's ability to bring joy to a socially deprived person confined to a depressing living space. Truly, his research will bless generations.
I came here to see a man adjusting himself with his sim and got a 16 minute long commentary on depression and happiness being found in people around you. _I'm not complaining._
Don't worry. It's logistically impossible to maintain more than about three friendships. Everyone who claims to have more best friends than that is either a liar or seriously overstating his own popularity.
Willow Barrelmaker when you trynna get your hypothesis to be correct so your survey is like “Is blue your favorite color, or do you think puppies deserve to die”
i started crying watching this video when Brian said his friends helped him paint because they genuinely wanted to. made me think of my boyfriend's struggle in realising that people would want to help him because they truly care about him and not for ulterior motives.
W.H. Auden once wrote, "We must love one another or die." He definitely wasn't expecting that poem to reflect the themes of a RUclips video about churning out sad clown paintings in a tiny NYC apartment for an experiment based on the Sims when he put pen to paper in 1939, but here we are.
It's funny: if you look at his Sim's stats, they always show that the reason he's so miserable is his social stat. And when Brian takes the experiment to real life, the reason it all comes together is that he gets his friends over for communal clown painting.
I like that we began season two with a shaved and haircutted bdg and now he's transforming back into our handsome shaggy boy. It's truly the hero's journey
He must be so happy that he took the effort to redecorate his apartment. According to the simulation he wouldn't have made it through day 2 in quarantine.
Me too. Sending you so much love. Thank you for being here despite how hard it can be at times and please know that you are worth happiness no matter what.
who's watching in december 2020 thinking about how this video's message was "friends can help you feel better just by being around you" and you've been in isolation for nine months without being able to actually see anyone
Me, starting this video: "haha nice fun video" Me, ending it: "...are friends, over material goods, what make your life worth living? Is a home, larger than any mansion but devoid of life, a home, or a prison? Is that which the wealthy can afford merely distraction from the greater, more human quest to simply love, and be loved, by others?"
I don't know how Brian knew we were all about to spend a bunch of time in our apartments. Either Brian is a god, or can kill god, and I don't care if there's a difference.
“The thing that killed me wasn’t starvation but becoming so lonely that I no longer sought to fix my situation” Had to fight the existential crisis back after that one... yikes
Brian: imma just remove my roommates from this simulation, it probably won't change much Sim Brian: is incredibly lonely and dies of starvation Brian: irrelevant, let's change the decor Brain:*feels better after bringing friends over *
@@BookWyrmOnAString I'm honestly crying about this entire conversation above wtf hahahahaha why am i laughing THAT hard about "brain" "significant oof" ;LFDKJSK
And somewhere along the way i realised something. The decorations won´t make me happy, but my friends and all the time i spent with them working on this project are what truly fills my life with joy. So i hung them in the hallway instead.
"1-to-1 exact replica of myself" Well that's just great now I can't un-see swoll BDG. There is no greater yin-yang relationship than that between Brian's twink energy and his sim's hunk energy
When an animal is born, it learns its most important skill first. Foals learn how to run, Tiger sharks to hunt, and the human baby cries. The most important human skill is to ask for help.
Everyone's talents lie in different areas. I'm not particularly good at painting, but I'm good at English and writing. Horrible at math, lol. Besides, there are so many styles of drawing, there might be one out there for you, like cartoony or doodling =)
This. This is my favorite unraveled. I love the others. But this. This is my favorite. It's literally advocating for socializing being a way to improve life. It's something I've heard a lot. And seeing people hang out. Is something which made me happy. And makes me remember to ask my friends to come and draw stuff. And laugh and have fun.

"books are boring"
- The Guy Who Read Every Book in Skyrim
To be fair, that means he has extensive experience in the subject and good reason for saying so XD
To be fair part 2: he said all but like 6 of those books bored him to tears
That's why he thinks books are boring.
If Skyrim books are the only books you've read in your life, then yes, books are boring.

"I was playing a game; I should have been doing an experiment."
That's gotta be the slogan of Unraveled from now on.
Damn yes you are 100% correct. It’s perfect
Brandon Johnston you know what they say, the only difference between fucking around and doing an experiment is writing it down
Fat Man never heard anyone say that so I’m gonna start
“even death had forgotten me” is such a metal quote until you remember it came from a polygon video about designing your apartment using the sims
It’s still a metal line. No joke, that whole part made me a bit anxious...
and then remember that it led to a discovery that your living space can affect your mental health, and you don’t feel weird about it anymore :)
Tell people you got it from The Pardoner’s Tale from Chaucer’s The Canterbury Tales, in it there’s an old man who can’t die and he says something along the lines of “Even death won’t take me”
Then while your friends are marveling at your big brain, you can cry inside about the reality
That was the best description of severe depression...
It is most definitely BDG’s “Do you think god lives in Heaven because he too fears what he created?”
BDG: Describes his Sim's daily routine.
Me: "Hey that's basically what I do."
BDG: "He seems devastatingly unhappy."
Me: "oh"
Too real.
The one who brings much happiness is often sad.
Honestly same tho
Do y’all not have jobs?
I have a part time job. A couple of hours every Wednesday.
Brian feels like the kind of guy who attracts people that are concerningly good at painting sad clowns
Spit-take all over my keyboard, thank you.

I hope every person who helped Brian paint sad clowns sees this video and fondly remembers the silly times that brought so much delight.
This guy single handedly saved Polygon give him more money
This guys is to Polygon as Yahtzee is to the Escapist.
At least a bigger decorating budget !
Scrundler saved Polygon, BDG just rode in on his coat tails.
This guy is the Polygon equivalent of BuzzFeed Unsolved
@@Aurora-kt1co or pitch meetings
Brian over here just flexing on us with how many friends he has
Yeah, that gave me a bit of a sad feel in the middle of the wholesomeness.
Well, too be fair, there were also friends of his friends there (that he might not have met before)
Don't worry. It's logistically impossible to maintain more than about three friendships. Everyone who claims to have more best friends than that is either a liar or seriously overstating his own popularity.
@@Drace90 bruh u lonely
@@rew6184 I'm very happy without meeting people often. People are just different.
“Life is messy and sometimes science has to be messy, too.”
Yeah, that’s the Creative Writing degree talking.
Made me think of my experiences in the social sciences actually. It's like the Jackson Pollock painting of academia trying to get results.
Willow Barrelmaker when you trynna get your hypothesis to be correct so your survey is like “Is blue your favorite color, or do you think puppies deserve to die”
i started crying watching this video when Brian said his friends helped him paint because they genuinely wanted to. made me think of my boyfriend's struggle in realising that people would want to help him because they truly care about him and not for ulterior motives.
W.H. Auden once wrote, "We must love one another or die." He definitely wasn't expecting that poem to reflect the themes of a RUclips video about churning out sad clown paintings in a tiny NYC apartment for an experiment based on the Sims when he put pen to paper in 1939, but here we are.
Brian David Gilbert: "Even death forgot about me....."
BDG second later: "SOo YeaH I PisseD MySelF A lOt"
This is the most wholesome episode of Unraveled ever
thanks funny polygon man
FishyBoi Also Life Questioning Dreppenig stuff ‘u’
this makes me want to gather my friends irl for a sad clown painting session
specifically sad clowns
The real clown paintings were the friends we made along the way
Brian did a video about the quarantine without it being a thing yet and if that's not a proof that he has godlike powers I don't know what is
Bdg caused corona? Its more likely than you think!
Either Brian is a god, or could kill God, and i do not CARE if there is a difference
@@Morzansdaughter I KNEW SOMEONE WOULD REFERENCE IT
what video?
@@rayhanishak this one
The skeleton wearing the "I heart my daddy" shirt is me when I die
Oh no o.o
@@marz8386 It's been 2 days they ded.
It's funny: if you look at his Sim's stats, they always show that the reason he's so miserable is his social stat. And when Brian takes the experiment to real life, the reason it all comes together is that he gets his friends over for communal clown painting.
Also I like how he has legitimately kept these decorations, as visible in his Darts video. BDG got commitment yo.
No he didn't? He kept the skeleton and the dart board
@@oliverpearce2338 He had to take them down because the sad clowns spread their curse to all the paintings, causing all of them to become haunted
I think he already had the dart board
@@oliverpearce2338 is a

"By this logic, it doesn't matter *how well* a room is decorated... it matters *how much* a room is decorated."
...this is gonna be good
I like that we began season two with a shaved and haircutted bdg and now he's transforming back into our handsome shaggy boy.
It's truly the hero's journey
He reset his hair to get a mustache on the second play through.
HELL YES
Simulation Brian was the data cube
He's following the Monomyth.
He also has nail polish on
Can you believe this was made in the before times
I viaibly flinched when i jeard 10 people in a cramped apartment then i remembered this video came before the virus hits lmao
Yeah, he had people in his house. I forget what that feels like.
THE BEFORE TIMES
In the long long ago ...
@@pinkajou656 Helloooooo fellow wof fan!
He must be so happy that he took the effort to redecorate his apartment. According to the simulation he wouldn't have made it through day 2 in quarantine.
Me reading this in year 2 of quarentine
@@chiralanomalous2904 Huh. You made it past 2 weeks! How many sad clown paintings do you have?
@@BreakdancePeach personally, I have more then I can count.
@@xXAcidBathXx With all these clowns to keep you company, who needs human interaction or antidepressants?
@@BreakdancePeach I get my human interaction from sad clowns
Reality Brian: twink
simulated Brian: twunk
The bit in the Gill and Gilbert intro where Pat hops onto his back and Brain doesn't even move solidifies his RL twunk bona fides
episode?
Dwink*
BDG comes in two varieties: twink and twunk
His hair is becoming increasingly powerful.
Soom we'll reach poke rap levels of chaos
Yaaaassssss and I love it
He's going super saiyan
Psyducktective gonna have to add him to Arcana
Agaettis but sideways.
i like the implication at 1:50 that the cat has its own room
"So I turned my house into a painting factory"
Looks like someone's attempting to give Jim Pickens a run for his money
moara Jim Pickens cinematic universe is expanding
Oh my GOD FLASHBACKS
No one can surpass the Pickens
Painting cult is such a fun play strategy, he is a genius
Jim is a God who must never be defied. Brian should be afraid.
"and bought myself the cheapest appliances, just like my landlord did"
This is. Very great. Many thanks.
So many lamps without their shade bc of brian
As someone who's been very isolated for the past 5ish years, this made me way more emotional than I was prepared for...
Me too. Sending you so much love. Thank you for being here despite how hard it can be at times and please know that you are worth happiness no matter what.
Same... I'm going on almost 8 years, very minimal contact.
I feel your pain.
who's watching in december 2020 thinking about how this video's message was "friends can help you feel better just by being around you" and you've been in isolation for nine months without being able to actually see anyone
“It’s me, I’m reality Brian.”
Press X to doubt
Yep...That's exactly what a simulated Brian would say
No, I'm the real Brian!
@@BimboLiqueur Pat: What's my deceased son's name? Only the real Brian would know that!
It is posible, Chad(bar) may equal Brian
Unraveled 1: BDG goes insane over lore
This unraveled: BDG battles depression and does funky dances
Funky dances are a decent weapon against depression.
You've seen the dance tutorials he did on his channel, right?

I mean, is there anything more relatable than battling depression with funky dances?

BDG: “Everyone knows that books are boring.”
Me: *doubts in Skyrim Book Report*
@@sukeighsukiennik2329 I was about to say the same things
he only considered about 17.5% of those any _good,_ though
*Skyrim booook repoooort*
I literally said "Brian you read every book in skyrim" out loud in response to that part lmao
sure he _READ_ them but he _hated_ 279 of them
"Not staring into the mirror in self doubt but smiling ...just smiling ..." the way he says just smiling makes me cry in happiness to this day
"I am reality Brian" thank god he clarified
it was really confusing for a minute there!!!!
I dunno, I require further proof as to the existence of this so-called Reality Brian
That phrase had me really wanting to meet a Calamity Brian
Me, starting this video: "haha nice fun video"
Me, ending it: "...are friends, over material goods, what make your life worth living? Is a home, larger than any mansion but devoid of life, a home, or a prison? Is that which the wealthy can afford merely distraction from the greater, more human quest to simply love, and be loved, by others?"
trick question: it's obviously the decorations!
is this quote from somewhere?
@@evariste_galois Yes, the human condition.
@@Arrakiz666 aight then let me just thank serena fleming for putting it into words so nicely
Yeah, but then his Sim peed himself!
Brian’s Sims character is like his secret self: a demonic organizational being in a suit.
Soaked in piss
I don't know how Brian knew we were all about to spend a bunch of time in our apartments. Either Brian is a god, or can kill god, and I don't care if there's a difference.
Alternate title: How to give your Sim a major depressive episode
This was incredibly poignant.
Time to do a sad clown painting.
“The thing that killed me wasn’t starvation but becoming so lonely that I no longer sought to fix my situation”
Had to fight the existential crisis back after that one... yikes
Is that better or worse than peeing on yourself while you're flirting with people?
Same
C M if y’all are into that kind of thing I guess

Brian: imma just remove my roommates from this simulation, it probably won't change much
Sim Brian: is incredibly lonely and dies of starvation
Brian: irrelevant, let's change the decor

@@melody-tp8go Thanks to both of you for making me laugh so hard
@@redrooster3420 your welcome :3
And somewhere along the way i realised something. The decorations won´t make me happy, but my friends and all the time i spent with them working on this project are what truly fills my life with joy.
So i hung them in the hallway instead.
"1-to-1 exact replica of myself"
Well that's just great now I can't un-see swoll BDG. There is no greater yin-yang relationship than that between Brian's twink energy and his sim's hunk energy
Megan Barhorst he a whole tWUNK
Lov ely 😂😂
Megan Barhorst he is not a twink. none of you know what a twink is
When an animal is born, it learns its most important skill first. Foals learn how to run, Tiger sharks to hunt, and the human baby cries. The most important human skill is to ask for help.
Damn... even this comment is making me cry :'(
Pretty sure baby tigers learn to feed and walk around and shit before they learn to hunt
A comic I love relayed this message to me.. and it makes it a little easier to realize I'm not terrible just because I need help.
this message makes me hate babies slightly less, but only slightly
This is complete bullshit but it does sound pretty nice
Every week BDG's hair swoops more and more until it eventually will turn into a perfect cos graph
Only on the brink of death will it reach its true form: the tan curve.
i'm happy brian got to decorate his apartment suitable for absolute isolation before mandatory isolation hit
WHY IS EVERYONE SO ARTISTICALLY TALENTED
right??? me and my friends paint like drunk 5 year olds
Everyone's talents lie in different areas. I'm not particularly good at painting, but I'm good at English and writing. Horrible at math, lol. Besides, there are so many styles of drawing, there might be one out there for you, like cartoony or doodling =)
because he's a theater nerd, and as such went to an artsy college and met artsy friends who are good at painting?
When you get surrounded by people trying to be creative, it's really easy to accidentally do something great.
"And the bathroom, where I stared at myself, not considering my flaws or my apartment, but just smiling" this video is a masterpiece. 10/10
"I am reality Brian" I don't know why I can't believe that statement
It's because he wears a cap in the video
This. This is my favorite unraveled. I love the others. But this. This is my favorite. It's literally advocating for socializing being a way to improve life. It's something I've heard a lot. And seeing people hang out. Is something which made me happy. And makes me remember to ask my friends to come and draw stuff. And laugh and have fun.
