this video is basically me trying to get other people to read certain fanfics (the ones that are actually better than the og book), except it usually doesn't work.
My friend pulled me in with Steel Heart because I like super heroes. Then Mistborn, now I've consumed little bit of Cosmere I could. Then Lightbringer series, and as much Gentlemen Bastards there is, and many other series. Now I'm devouring all epic fantasy I can while I await Stormlight 5. Honestly your channel has been a wonderful place, but this gem made me finally comment. Cheers.
Funnily enough this is precisely how I found your channel. I've loved the Wheel of Time since I was 12 or 13 and none of my friends wanted to read 10,000 pages. So I went to RUclips to see what was there and you were the only person talking about it really. This was when you were at like 50k subs
Somehow the Stormlight Archives completely passed by me but a friend recently told me about it. I havent properly slept in 3 weeks as I read the first 3 books basically all day every day. The 4th book was unavailable for order but I will inevitably have to spent another 1 to 2 weeks deprived of sleep to read it as soon as I have it. Of course I don't just read about 40 hours a week on top of my full time job because of my friend or for the story, it's all for the memes. Can't wait to get in on the reddit action.
I have actually become like this whenever I try recommending a friend Wheel of Time. Started reading the series a few months ago, and now I can't stop thinking or talking about it to anyone who is listening :D
Use this video when your family and friends criticize your taste in reading. They will either understand or you will be left alone for ever. It doesn't matter of course since you will just continue to live another 1000 lives through books
This is my favorite skit yet. Its going to resonate with everyone at some level, I feel. The last point hit so hard for me, once I've finished a series the only way for me to enjoy it at any similar level is watching someone else go through it. Thus vicariously reliving it. There are only few exceptions to this, those are movies and books I can experience again and again and draw new conclusions for myself. This is also one of the reasons Kubrick is considered one of the greatest filmmakers ever, since his works almost always do this. Ok this went on a tangent but I really loved this video 😅
Never before have I felt both so called out and understood at the same time. I don't know if I should thank you or curse you for seven generations, so I'm just going to leave this comment so that the RUclips algorithm may allow you to depress/help more people through the pain
LMAO! Ten books in a series with over a 1000 pages per book is one of the reasons I’ve never gotten far into the fantasy genre. I like a series, but damn. DAMN!!!! This video hit the nail on the head. Great job. Lol

Somehow the Stormlight Archives completely passed by me but a friend recently told me about it. I havent properly slept in 3 weeks as I read the first 3 books basically all day every day. The 4th book was unavailable for order but I will inevitably have to spent another 1 to 2 weeks deprived of sleep to read it as soon as I have it. Of course I don't just read about 40 hours a week on top of my full time job because of my friend or for the story, it's all for the memes. Can't wait to get in on the reddit action.
1:52 Will this skit be a meme? XD
This has to be your best short film so far. Please make more of these. I laughed so hard I had tears by the end.
Astoundingly accurate.
I have actually become like this whenever I try recommending a friend Wheel of Time. Started reading the series a few months ago, and now I can't stop thinking or talking about it to anyone who is listening :D
I recommended Stormlight to someone last night, *why wasn’t this out earlier!!!!*
I really miss your "Why you should read" videos, but also your short videos like this are absolutely amazing!!
Use this video when your family and friends criticize your taste in reading. They will either understand or you will be left alone for ever. It doesn't matter of course since you will just continue to live another 1000 lives through books
"Are you reading the series yet?"
"Ya, I'm two chapters in."
"You mean two prologues in?"
"For the memes I will do it" mission success!
This is my favorite skit yet. Its going to resonate with everyone at some level, I feel. The last point hit so hard for me, once I've finished a series the only way for me to enjoy it at any similar level is watching someone else go through it. Thus vicariously reliving it.
There are only few exceptions to this, those are movies and books I can experience again and again and draw new conclusions for myself. This is also one of the reasons Kubrick is considered one of the greatest filmmakers ever, since his works almost always do this.
Ok this went on a tangent but I really loved this video 😅
"first three in a 10 book series"
Stormlight archive chuckles silently
He was literally talking about that
Wasn't he talking about Malazan?
This has to be the best skit yet. Please keep up the awesome work!
You're not exactly selling this to me, Dan, Undisputed King of the Goblins.
Never before have I felt both so called out and understood at the same time. I don't know if I should thank you or curse you for seven generations, so I'm just going to leave this comment so that the RUclips algorithm may allow you to depress/help more people through the pain
this is literally me and my friend. she's halfway through the Farseer trilogy and ugh, I need her to hurry up!
LMAO! Ten books in a series with over a 1000 pages per book is one of the reasons I’ve never gotten far into the fantasy genre. I like a series, but damn. DAMN!!!! This video hit the nail on the head. Great job. Lol
If only I could convince my friends to read em tho. Those imbeciles never give in and I keep longing to share my pain with someone lol
Daniel, that looked like the first 3 Tad Williams books of Memory, Sorrow, and Thorn. :-)
Me trying to convince my sister to read her first epic fantasy series, the stormlight archive:
Update: She is almost finished with the first book
I finished Words of Radiance and am on chapter 2 of Oathbringer…this video put me on edge.
If the memes don't convince them, just wait for the show to come out and get them hooked that way ;)
mate, this is the 2nd video I've seen from you. I'm only 1min into the video and I already know, without a sliver of doubt, I need to stay here on your channel and cling to it. and then I have to stalk your goodreads account...... this is the first time I've laughed out loud in weeks! thanks!
Bruh I’d love to do that but I don’t have anyone to share it with. Starting Wheel of Time soon.
You are speaking from my soul, I love it. Just got my friend to read Mistborn, after about a year of me talking about Brandon's books.
