I already like that guy more than I like you
havent even played it yet and i already fully agree
Damn.. I’m not a good loser
But I agree
nice job
Pnarncake
Damn it that one's good
This feels like Mr. Gooden accidentally found his alternate reality self. We aren’t supposed to see this interaction
That guy is future Drew from the timeline in which Amanda goes MIA in Afghanistan and Danny marries Jake Paul.
"LOGAN PAIL?!?!" @@music9521
Uh oh, there must be something wrong within the quantum meshwork. I'll have to call the emergency hotline to have this glitch rectified. We don't want another hard reset, do we? A moment of silence for those lost in the last Gear Power Cycle...
@@music9521 sorry buddy, that's in this universe?? dunno where you've been
@i_didnotfart nah man, Danny doesn't marry Jake Paul in this universe. I remember hearing about Danny and Drew's wedding.
its the fact that "road work ahead? yea i sure hope it does" feels EXACTLY like something nathan would say
'road work ahead'*
@@harrydsymons thanks
@@harrydsymonsyea i sure hope it does
By this logic, it means that nathan is a younger drew gooden
Well that’s because the part Drew left out is that this is him in the future. He discovered a Time Machine.
Very wholesome of you to support your dad's Insta
LMFAOOOOO
well after he cancelled that dinner to fall for a scam it's the least he could do
The shift into explaining a maddening web of horny fictional characters written by a guy who people joke is a future you feels like the kind of twist you always get at about 20% of the way through every hbomberguy video
This comment is fucking spot on
you're so right!
Great comment! I'm sure your mother is very proud
Honestly, the whole section had big 'unravelled' energy, I could watch Drew freak out about unnecessarily complicated books for hours.
Major TRUTH
4:52 - I like how there’s no denial from Drew that he’ll turn into this guy, just concern that it might only take 3 years.
and concern that he looks as old as this guy
Two years and a half, take it or leave it
When I first started watching I said. Is that Drew's Dad?
No, but in that specific video I can see it very clearly lmao
The amount of names in the book gives the vibes that Nathan told a bunch of people he was making a book, and agreed to every person's request to have their name in it.
I imagine all the Sara(h)'s made that request at the same time.

Oops, Drew made a joke about that, I didn't see that bit yet lol
I feel like he is someone's Dad that some millennial saw potential in
When I first started watching I thought is that Drew's Dad lol@@tundranone8366
I literally think yhis is drew from the future come back just to fuck with his past self and then in 2056 we're gonna get a vudeo called "going back in time to get my past self to make a video about me???"
@dayniehunt7168 alternate ending: Danny paid this guy hoping Drew would make a video about him. We've been tricked again
the names in this book are really giving "the first 50 people to like and follow will get a character named after them" energy
A lot of "I only know white Americans" energy too.
@@livebackwards Yikes... the racism in your comment is insane. For one thing, your name does not determine your race (and vice versa). Secondly, OP was making a light-hearted joke, and you butted in to... be racist? Fr? Why make this a race thing?
Also, just to prove how much of a laughing stock your racist ass is, I went through all of the names and like.... babe, one of the characters is literally named LAMAR. For example, Kendrick Lamar isn't a white American, last time I checked! There is also a character named Miranda, and um... well, in case you didn't know, we literally have CIVIL RIGHTS named after a Latino named Ernesto Miranda (Miranda Rights!!). "Lola" is also a name seen frequently in Latino and black cultures (Chris Rock's daughter; the rapper; the actress; singers; etc.)! "Jane" is the name of the main character in Jane The Virgin, which is a show that is almost exclusively focused on Jane, a HISPANIC LATINA WOMAN and her HISPANIC LATINO FAMILY. In high school, I was friends with a half-Portuguese, half-Hispanic girl named Sarah! Another Sarah I knew is half Cuban! There is the notable and famously handsome Hispanic actor, Oscar Isaac... need I say more? And let's not forget Talulah--I have never met ANY white person named Talulah, I'm just gonna be real. But I HAVE been friends with a Blaine, Blake, and Emma--all of whom were black! I knew a Latina Emma as well, of course.
I'm in a university, which means I see a LOT of diversity here. Something that didn't surprise me is how many people had names I'd heard, and names I hadn't--none of these names had any correlation with their races! The reason it wasn't a surprise is because I'm not a racist who assigns race to names, unlike you! There is no such thing as a "white American name" unless you are a white American with a name; that is the ONLY qualification.
Before you start trying to turn a silly, light-hearted joke into a race thing, maybe stop to consider that you might actually be the racist one.
So Sara made alt accounts just for that?
@livebackwards I'm a 0% white immigrant with a white name that was mentioned in the video lmao it's pretty common for poc brought up in the west
@@dustmite7558 I never said it was impossible for non-white immigrants to have traditionally Western names.

He called sex “woohoo”. He’s writing Sims fan fiction.
Who isn’t?
Everyone’s writing sims fan fiction, don’t pretend you aren’t
He also used phrases like "jumping back in vagina first" lol
"Zingle dorb shala plaga woohoo?" Mark said Seductivly
that explains why there are so many characters
i’m so obsessed with his breakdown of the characters
Me too. I've made soooooo many other people watch that part... 😆
It reminds me of reading Stendhal's 'Le Rouge et le Noir' at university. What a Hero's Journey! Un roman à fleuve, if ever I saw one.
The way he stares into the camera fills me with a deep sense of dread
which one, nathan or drew?

You've got a phone and (presumably) a camera. you can be that guy. I believe in you.
@@hanbanan7926 Habanan are you suggesting this person try to do a public internet stunt so foolish that drew is forced to make a video about them so they may become closer to LEGENDARY RUclipsR Drew Gooden?
You’re just like me fr
This story sounds identical to every teenagers wattpad story they write in middle to early high school
My wattpad story was a warrior cats story. But I mean I am currently a teenager so maybe it’s still coming up
@@2hark2ona2ellycool 😊
It also sounds like at some parts he may have been doing speech-to-text or something and it wasn't hearing him correctly? I don't know how else a sentence like "He hoped Holly was in a spanking." comes to fruition. 🤷🏻♀
Wrong, not enough vampires
@@monbub crap I’m making a comic rn with vampires my time has come
The insane web of people is pretty much exactly what planning a night out feels like
I’m convinced that Nathan just takes a bunch of edibles, whips out his camera and just vocalizes the random thoughts in his head.
Especially the “cupboards” one
That...makes a LOT of sense.
that would make more sense… if this already made any sense
This was also my official assessment
my thoughts exactly
"the horniest book I've read since Jake Paul's autobiography" is really quite the sentence
I didn’t need reminding of JP’s book, but here we are. We had a good run, 2024, but you’re also in the bin with the rest of the 2020s. Sigh. I was going to learn something this year, but that about the window now
I love it when creators refference their old videos for the nerds who have watched each of their videos multiple times.

he's relatable that way :)
He has Harold energy

It has edibles energy
Drew thinks we won't notice it's his dad, it's clearly his dad, both silly goofballs
I literally thought it was his dad... they look so alike
they have similar intonations and humor lol
They are 😂
They have the same smile istg
Heard his voice, that was my first thought
This is one of those 'If it makes you happy, great' things.
I love me some wholesome, goofy, and random, but this dude freaks me all the way out.
Drew thanks. Sometimes it's hard writing my book. Every sentence feels wrong when I write it. Coming back to draft it makes me hate myself. It's a slog and sometimes makes me feel like shit.
So thanks for sharing that book with me. It's truly uplifting. If someone put THAT book out, I'm fretting over absolutely nothing. It's reassuring in a way that however bad I think my writing is, Nathan baylet is somehow worse
Nathan is on the kind of edibles that only older people can get ahold of
I can’t wait to get old now
Can you please explain lol?
@@estrellaanne1589you're obviously too young
@@estrellaanne1589

Right down to referring to sex as "woohoo"

Your breath control is honestly admirable.
"Holy tushy-twerks" and "holy fuck-a-doodles" is EXACTLY how I imagined he would cuss after seeing the first few clips from his tiktok 🤣
I want to un-hear that lol
He smashed Disney cursing and real cursing together
He sounds candian 😂
I'll never see him the same again after reading those lines from that book
I love that you mention Bookworm Brenda gets with Peter the Reader but neither of them were even brought up in your huge character explanation.
He 100% did it in purpose 😭
Immediately I was like WHO THE FUCK IS PETER? BRENDA????
idk about Peter but is Brenda not Bren, the friend??
@@Tay-wj9eti feel like we would know if that was the case. evidence: sara, sarah, and sara(h)x7. this guy seems very clear about his menagerie of characters names
yes it does make more sense that we would have multiple variations of the name Brenda, I really feel like that's what most romance fiction is missing these days... now if only we could track down the mythical Peter, I'll finally be able to sleep at night @@benissopopular
2:05 idk if this is the pun he was going to make but it sounded like he was gonna say, "Cupboards are just shelves that are cupboard (covered)."
I love that he doesn't look *that* much like drew but his mannerisms and eyes are almost identical
I love how Drew's content is 1/3 extremely serious video essay and 2/3 whatever this shit is
implying this isn't a serious video essay? how dare you
Every time Drew Gooden uploads a new video, I say "New Gooden" quietly to myself and then chuckle
Me and my brother shout NEW DREW
do you then give it a view gooden?
This made me chuckle
now I will do this and also chuckle to myself so thank you
@@CucumberpatchAddict I know I certainly do gooden
the fact that the hfy subreddit uses the word "pancakes" to mean if a story deals with "passion" is just the cherry on top to this whole debacle.
13:27 lol
Now every time I feel bad about having so many characters in my story I can look back and reflect on this book
No way he records these sober. This is the face of weed.
It’s like he just discovered it.
during the ones that drew was "worried" about he was just saying the shit i do after smoking lmao
"This is your dad, on DRUGS."
nathan or drew?
@@UnchargedBattery978 I was wondering too
i loved the part where you took out a whiteboard and recapped riverdale
That would actually be hilarious
I read this comment before he pullled out the white board and I keep laughing thinking of this comment listening to him rant. This is so accurate 😂
Collab with Mikes Mic.
omg watch uncarley’s video recaps of riverdale !! they’re amazing, big mikes mic vibes
alex meyers could do this for real
i spaced out for 5 minutes and suddenly this strange man was talking about a bunch of people who i've never heard of
I’m honestly impressed with Drew’s breakdown of all the characters…. Like how long do you think it takes to document all of that to be able to explain it???
“Drew Gooden out of context” compilation creators eating good with this one
especially the “no one knows who dan is, so idk why he’s in the group”
the entire book segment is a precious thing
agreed@@ac-jj1zz
His vibe is very much like. Cashier/barista/server who is very outwardly friendly but clearly on the verge of absolutely losing it just going on a rage fueled rampage and barely holding it in. It’s like he’s being held at gun point forced to be silly. I love him
bro?
His vibe IS very much like!
this is such a great description of drew
me
His vibe is very much like Drew Gooden in 3 years
The fact that a book like this is published and making money makes me question why I'm even rewriting the same 5 chapters of my story to make sure the writing is good.
I watched this last night and havent laughed out loud at something this hard probably ever.
This video is so fucking excellent. While I love most all Drew’s videos, this one really exemplifies how talented and seriously funny he is.
Absolute banger, 10/10, grateful to have this treasure on RUclips.
that poor, poor person who had to read that audiobook 😭
i would be struggling not to laugh the whole time ☠
this made me want to find out how I can get into recording audio books
I thought it was read by an AI bot😅
yoooo cool night in the woods pfp!!!
Holy fuck a doodle destroyed me
He's actually kinda sweet and wholesome tbh.
I’m loving the sudden improvement in cinematography in these videos

The man is an open book. Specifically, the book Passion or Pancakes.
More specifically, Passion or Pancakes opened to page 87.
5:09 Drew's existential crisis absolutely cracked me up hahahaha
This guy's videos sound like rejected Vsauce intros

Are there more of these?
@@NylaTheWolfyea it’s all over booktube lol
@@NylaTheWolfoh there's tons, it mainly started with Mike's Mic talking about 2000s dramas (Pretty Little Liars, Lost, etc), then lots of booktubers started doing it to describe the insane books they read
@@NylaTheWolfthere’s also a lot of these for movies/tv shows! The first examples that come to mind are Jenny Nicholsons video on Vampire Diaries or Uncarley’s video on Riverdale

Agreed! It was especially joyful on this vid
I replayed it three times to feel the same joy
@@FrostNightVideoProductions I also replayed it many times, just to feel something.
I decided to count how many times the guy blinked in the entire video. Five times apparently.

Drew?
This is the kind of positivity I need on my fyp
ok but the videos he made responding to this literally made my ice heart melt
That single sentence you read near the end was a rollercoaster because for a few brief moments it was actually poetic and then it would be like "and there's also a green football field over there"
The man obviously couldn't get help from an editor, first drafts are like that!
@SantiagoVeron I think it's purposely written like that. Like Garth Marenghi
@@cooliostarstache5474 yeah run on sentences can have a purpose. Like if, say, you have a character who ate 3 edibles in one night. But they are never going to read well out of context.
nathan made two videos talking about how appreciative he is and its so cute 😭🩷
that actually made me kinda cry and has also confirmed that he is simultaneously excited and panicked in every video
how appreciative he is that drew made a video about him you mean?
the entire explanation part felt like me explaining my favorite movies/tv shows to literally anyone
This guy is exactly how I imagined Drews father to look and be like.
As a Sara/h, the fact there's an abundance of Sara/hs in the friend group is the most accurate thing I've ever seen. Art truly imitates life.
What is it like being a Sara/h
In my opinion movies, books, and TV shows aren't at all accurate because there aren't at least 3 Katies, 3 Emilys, 5 Mikes, 4 Nicks, and 8 Chrisses.
Here in Brazil it’s Beatriz. If you live for long enough in Brazil you’ll meet like three girls names Beatriz for every one person with other name. Back in middle school I we had four or five just in our class

I was just talking about this the other day with my friends Sarah, Sara, Serrah, Serra, Saarah, Saara, Sarrah, Sarra, Cerrah, Cerra, and Michael Cera.

The universe is experiencing a glitch. Nathan is just Drew in an alternate dimension. we are getting to experience two Drews at one instantaneous, beautiful moment
i kind of love him he’s just a dad making silly lil dad jokes while staring deeply into your soul
His pauses give an existential crisis and then cured it
I mean he also seems kinda horny lol
the entire sequence of drew explaining the characters’ relations feels like that meme from its always sunny in philadepphia where charlie is explaining his theory abt pepe silvia

The way you talk about this guy being funny and make a hilarious video about him without being mean or picking on him at all is so admirable. His response of thankfulness is a testemant to that. This video makes me so happy.
This is exactly why I love Drew’s content!!
this was one of my fav drew vids for that reason, it's just so fun
but he's super creepy though. he makes me very uncomfortable.
@@wilthomas But you don't actually know the guy, that could just be his sense of humor. Just because he seems creepy to you doesn't mean he objectively is, nor does it mean he's a bad person. People are right to admire Drew's ability to joke about this guy without making fun of him or tearing him down. When it comes to real people you shouldn't judge them by their cover, but by the content of their character, like their actions and intent behind said actions. And so far, from what I've seen at least, this guy is probably a nice fellow with a quirky sense of humor. So yeah I hope this comment has come across right and not confrontational, cause my goal with this response is simply to make the world a better place. Any who, thanks for reading, and God Bless!!!
Hes gunna get caught for something bad, nothing good lasts on tik tok or instagram. Im sure we will have an accusation and chat log in the next year….
I'm working on my first book right now. As an aspiring author, I constantly struggle with impostor syndrome. I can only thank you, because videos like this keep it at bay.
I would love for drew to interview him for the next video. It would be great to see his thought process
throwing a cocktail at Roger was not my proudest moment, but he did ruin the party at Anton's apartment
Roger had it coming. Thank god I didnt get invited...
This man combined dad jokes and a shocking amount of neurodivergence and I'm kinda here for it
THATS why it’s so relatable!!
he is so neurodivergent 😭😭
P L E A SE THIS SENT ME INTO ORBIT
passion or pancakes sounds like a typical book named in the sims
legit been watching nathan on insta for months now and i’m so surprised you made a whole video about him😭
Passion or Pancakes should be adapted into a movie and Drew should star in it
He should play every single character tbh.
God, turning it into a psychological horror where it's all in the main characters head feels like it'd be so fun
Could be like that final scene in Ant Man, a bunch of people in succession, and just pure beautiful chaos
At 10 minutes and 40 seconds I got up from where I was trying to fall asleep for a nap and immediately added this video to my favorites, before even finishing it. The entire whiteboard segment with all the character names had me wheezing on an otherwise very dull snow day. And I feel like this book was written just for a youtuber like Drew - basically his younger counterpart - to make such a video like this one, and that makes it all worth it.
