Wow friends, we all waste a lot of space remembering extraneous stuff. What's the most useless room in your mind palace? While you think about that, please peruse our truly perfect Patreon: www.patreon.com/chrisandjack
I have a mind universe with a bunch of characters and stories intertwined with a lot of my ocs
I have this one closet to remember third grade outfits and I really just need to clean it out. There’s bugs in there and everything’s dusty. None of them are even important.
It's all Spider-Man's villains' real names...
The problem is I have ADHD
There's this one room that's just a giant safe with all my passwords in it so that I could keep them protected from mind-readers but once I accidentally left my safe password inside the safe and I was too embarrassed to call the safe installers so I just changed all my passwords to the number to the safe installers which is printed on the back of the safe, only to realize that was the password to my safe in the first place, but when I opened the safe I realized I left some food in there the last time and it got expired and smelly and moldy so I just closed the safe before I could get the passwords to change it back, so now I just hope none of the websites I use get their data leaked or I'm screwed.
video uploaded 6 minutes ago instead of 6 years ago, this is a once in a lifetime chance for me to make the perfect comment....i just forgot what it was. I stored it somewhere.
You actually did make the perfect comment, but I did go back in time and left that comment on a video that came out years ago. It was a really good comment, got a lot of praise but I did add Jar Jar Binks so it’s kinda my own now.
Has it been 6 years since 2 weeks ago already?
❤
same 💀
This isn’t the greatest comment in the world…this is just a tribute.
expected the interrogator to then hop out of the jail (which is his mind palace) to pass that information on to yet another person on a higher level of nested mind palaces
"Wait, it's all mind palaces?"
"All the way down, kid."
Simulation theory but it's all just in your/someone else's/a 35 dimensional being's head(s)
ah yes, inception
I'm so proud of Jack for sitting still that whole time
Chris' juggling really helped me train for this moment.
@@ChrisandJack He was actually in _his_ mind palace imagining it the whole time too
Fan theory: Shannon is actually Fervante and that note is a red herring.
*Vervante
@@WhaleManMan You can translate that to "*Related"
@@bruhnotcom Clearly another clue! KEEP LOOKING, PEOPLE!
@@bruhnotcom
*Velated
@@WhaleManMan it turns to "Replaced" for me lol
"what an indescribable view" is a genius line
lovecraft writing be like
Damnit I literally came to comment this 😂 I’ll just report your comment as cyber bullying and get it removed then post it so mine will get far more attention so when you get back you won’t be nearly high enough on the featured or newly added to take from my likes and replies!! Eh nvm that would take too long and I’ve already lost interest.
@@nuclebros8001bro what 😭
@@samueldinardi4580 Ooh it's soo scary. Like, so scary, I can't even write more than a sentence to it...
0:31 oh this is the same villain with impeccable timing!
As per 5:38
Yep. There’s even a callback to that sketch
@@davimelo9181 "Hello, Zuko here !"
Also confirmed in the description
@@matityaloran9157Two. The assistant is the same guy
Fervante, of course, is the villain in Art of the Heist, and that's yet another sketch in the Chris and Jack Cinematic Universe!
Plus, that’s the “english please” guy, i’m pretty sure
@@finna2160 I've been wondering about that. There are a lot of characters he could fit: Agent Sparxx of In English Please, Agent 17 of Save the Watermelon/Mind Wipe, the chief in One More Thing or maybe the one guy in Moments Between the Montage. He's credited as "detective" in the description, so that leads me to believe he can't be one of the Agents.
I'm betting One More Thing at the moment, but I reckon you could come up with multiple narratives
Hello FakeRealAlbert!!
And the villain with the mind palace is the same villain with impeccable timing, yet another sketch, even down to Shannon being his assistant
The spank "bank" is crazy 💀💀
I would most certainly be a regular visitor
@@Fuzbun Yeah, but I'd end up making the same 4 withdrawals every time...
@@jonbaxter2254 At this point, why won't one just have have its contents out ready for perusal no?
The actor that plays Shannon is an amazing acrobat, that backflip was INCREDIBLE!
And they shot on-location for the indescribable view from atop the ladder!
"So I have this sketch idea that needs essentially zero location budget..."
I really enjoyed it!
Omg he even has Shannon in his mind palace!! What good friends they are :)
Chris and Jack’s ability to make a sketch with just a bunch of shots of Chris and some voice over is remarkable
Shannon really is the unsung hero of the Mind Palace Show. Haven't been so inspired by a character in years!
bro the avatar cast cameos are WILD
Janet Varney is super active in podcasting, check out JV Club and she guests on Hey Riddle Riddle all the time.
They had Toph on one too recently haha
"I went into my own mind palace to try and remember it but most of the doors were locked."
Mood
Chris did, in fact, sit at the desk pretending to think extremely hard for several hours.
What a perfect Mind-Palace. Good location, spacious, room to grow a family. It even has a "working" elevator.
I love that they portray the mind palace using our own mind palaces
I lost it at "Youre a good dude, Shannon!"
"We're really against it now, Shannon!"
He's got a whole mind-city in there, huh
This video makes me appreciate how cost effective their sketches are. This is a funny premise, shot and edited in a manner that does the most you can with the concept. But almost all the shots are just of Chris sitting there with his eyes closed.
Only you guys could pull off a genius sketch that is mostly just audio 😂
This is actually in the tradition of radio plays, which, while it is a bit of a lost art, there is a huge history of them. Check out a Prairie home companion. they had radio play sketches on every episode. And then that show was reworked into Live From Here which has amazing music!
Jack is actually a famous voice actor (he was Sokka in avatar the last airbender) so it's no surprise they're great at an all audio sketch like this.
I love the little Dante cameo
"Wow, what an indescribable view"
Well thanks
The fastest 6 minutes of my life that i wish i could experience all over again.. this sketch is perfect.
I'm enjoying these "minimalist filming" videos (like this one and the one with the guy dying in the snow).
The writing is the best part of your sketches (IMO) so having them mostly in VO hardly detracts, and I assume it lets you get more out which is GREAT.
+1
The fact that we got Sokka and Zuko living in the mind palace is bonkers
I love that professor buddy is now a recurring character. And it's cute that he still thinks of shannon.
Great sketch!
The voices on this are insane
This mind palace needs an audio comedy spinoff
i love all the recent sound focused skits!! it’s really amazing how much of a difference good sound effects and a competent voice actor can make
I've just been working with a Mind Two-Story-split-level-single-family-with-off-street-parking, but I've been thinking of upgrading to a palace if I can find the right Mind Neighborhood.
I didn't recognize the characters until he said Professor Buddy
Who is he?
@@michaciejka2839 Watch Villian with Impeccable Timing
Today I learned that Janet Varney and Jessica McKenna have the same 3rd grade bully voice.
Great video. Haven't watched it yet but i know it will be
Yup. You called it
Personally, I thought it was mid at best. They didn't really strain anything making this one. Patreon funds must not be all that great.
@@altcommand ok, whatever you say mate. We all got different opinions
@@altcommand in the future, instead of being dumb and wrong, be smart and right. OK?
Freaking love audio dramas!
This whole sketch sort of reminded me of Dream's castle library, from the comic Sandman, which contain a collection of every book that has ever been imagined--even if that book was never published or even written.
The stellar voice acting really helped sell the bit when it was just Chris with his eyes closed. You guys flexed here and I really enjoyed it!
the intermittent bits of audio like the jumpscare sound when Shannon appeared was hilarious
I've done thorough research on mnemonic methods, including the method of loci, which is commonly called the "mind palace" technique. It's incredibly powerful.
Of course, after trying it myself and using my palace for everything, I can say that this is pretty much how it goes after a while.
No assistant named Shannon, though. And the fire department is grossly underfunded.
The next step is creating your own Shannon-Tulpa
Gotta love looking at the description and not just seeing the usual Sokka being in this (since he’s in everything) but also cameos from the voices of Zuko and Korra! It’s always so fun to see a sign that the VAs of ATLA and LOK keep in touch and see/hear them helping out with each other’s projects.
It's like an old radio drama. I love it.
This & the recent Wizards with Guns sketch show how funny dialogue can carry a sketch with only one or two camera angles. 👏😂
I love that you have Scott, Dante and Janet in there, such a cool little easter egg.
Chris and Jack! Your timing is impeccable as always...
That “would you like to make a withdrawal?” line was a PERFECT set up for the spank-bank joke! It was such a weird line on its own, then the punch line walked up right behind me and decked me with a frying pan.
My mind palace assistant reminded me to like this video.
I think this is a really awesome skit, at its core is just two people sitting for 6 mins which could get boring but the writing, the character acting, music/soundeffects, and the pacing all make it super enjoyable. Very good work very impressive
my new favorite sketch of yours, loved this one!
5:38 professor lausten your time is impeccable as always, I love that reference
I can't believe YT never recommended me this channel. Your videos are perfect xD
Thanks! And welcome!
his timing is impeccable as always
it's like listening to an audio drama, which I love doing😂🙃
Why does this work so well as a radio show?? 😂
I love the fact that he actually just sat there for almost an hour waiting for Chris 5:10 to remember the location
Can really see the budget improving, the VFX and props in this one are unreal!
I'm so invested in the expanded Prof Larson and Shannon lore. Amazing video as always!!
First time a video isn’t 7 years ago, perfectly timed
But their last video was only like two weeks ago...?
This has got to be my favorite skit from you guys yet. This is a masterpiece.
You guys really went all out with the set and props in this one!
Professor Larson your timing- is that zuko again?
I was wondering if anyone else noticed him
I immediately noticed and had to check the credits to confirm it! He has such a distinctive voice!
That’s exactly what I thought
And avatar korra
why do people mention it every time? is it a thing to bait likes from people, or does everyone just not have anything better to say?
So much is done via audio work! Thanks for the sequel, guys! I've missed these characters!
I'm so glad I found your channel. I've been binging some of your older stuff and I'm amazed at the consistency. GG
I loved this sketch
5:37 CHRIS AND JACK CINEMATIC UNIVERSEEEE
This is what it's like to talk to an MC in anime. He just goes to his mind palace for 20 min to break down what just happened and the other people just have to wait.
Love your videos guys! You always do such a phenomenal job and it makes my day whenever you upload! Keep up the good work! Also the cross shaped scar on the cheek is a really cool touch
The moment Shannon's voice was back, you had my full attention. The continuity!!!
"My palace is vast, even by mediaval standards."
“Wow, what an indescribable view”
Hell yes another Chris and Jack Friday. I love you guys!
What a nice surprise to open RUclips and see a new Chris and Jack short, you guys are the best!. Glad you're making content again!
Their last sketch was only two weeks ago...??
I love how the sketches so often devolve into a mini therapy sesh.
Some of these sketches. I really want Part 2 of it 😅
A new favorite, from the audio to the little movements all the way to the Patreon ad- so pumped for what’s to come!
i was so ready for a mind goblin joke
I thought he'd (accidentally) give the address of his childhood bully, and take silent satisfaction in hearing how that location has been bombed into the ground.
Top tier content guys! Always coming up with skits i never knew i needed ❤
Another amazing skit, thanks guys :)
You guys are amazing! Love seeing the villain character come back. The quality of these videos are always excellent. I think it’s time for me to check this Patreon out
Absolutely brilliant.
I love the world building of the mind pallace being up to interpretation. I'm imagining a mansion esc scene with those 2 sets of stairs curving into eachother in the center of the room with red carpet that has gold trimmings with Janet just always popping up to scare the shit outta you
New Chris and Jack!!! 🎉🎉🎉best part of the day/week/upload schedule🎉🎉🎉
The face twitches are AMAZINGLY timed with the audio, this is one of your best videos yet
I love you guys so much. Great stuff!
This with headphones was so soothing
Have to wait 52 minutes only for them to remind you that you get out of the elevator by just imagining yourself out of the elevator.
Love all the visuals in this one, that view really was indescribable.
You guys deserve 364 million subs! hope to see you hit a mil soon :)
This was amazing!
This is fantastic!
Brilliant sketch, super immersive!
Really well done!
This is SO funny! I have no idea why but it's actually making me cackle.
Its always nice to see an amazing sketch that basically don't need visuals
I can't even find my stuffs in a drawer. Imagine have to find them in a palace full of trivia infos.
I like to imagine Graham Siggins the WR holder for multiple cubes blindfolded has this ordeal when remembering the cubes
Great sketch guys I can honestly say I have never seen anyone else make a joke like this keep it up
The impressive audio design this channel brings to the table is amazing! I could easily see them making a successful series of radio (or podcast) dramas
Been having some rough days. But this brings joy to me. I loved this sketch
