      replying again because I do not know how you do it - like I know this isn't a specific episode just for me but it still got too real for me that it felt like it was. This year I've lost two ppl (one as recently as last week) and the loss is exactly this like this video is exactly how I feel when I stop and realize they're not here anymore to say this or do this or just even exist. But my memory of them works in their absence telling me what they would do and say if they were so they live on which freaks me out occasionally cause yeah it's like what is life after death. Long comment I'm sorry but yeah another great one thanks !!

    The hardest one is when you loved them just as dearly, but they were so unique and unpredictable that you never know for sure what they would have told you. You'll never hear them run to you to share an amazing joke they just made up. They'll never tell you the words you need to hear but are too far from your mind in the heat of the moment.
    When people talk about death to you, they always tell you the hardest part is saying good bye to your loved one. Yet, the actual hardest part is never hearing *them* say good bye if they never had the chance.

    God, this hit me so hard. I have a sister, and a little over a week ago she left for college. She’s been away from home before, for academic trips and long parties but... It’s different because she’s so busy and I KNOW it’s long term, unlike before. It’s so weird because I know and have known for years that I love her and I think about her every day and I would do anything for her but I just... this made me have to confront it? Her moving into her dorm, I mean, not the video. Like, every time we have to drive two hours to drop something off for her, no matter how much I have to do, I will make the trip just so I can see her again and it... it’s crazy. It’s crazy what I would do because she lives in me so much and without her I find myself seeing things in the house and just imagining her response like she was still staying here. She’s always had a fear of death and so we’d spend time talking about what would happen if one of us were to die but, I’m thinking about it more now. The idea of living without someone you thought would be by your side forever. There’s a lot more anecdotes I could put here that would just be driving home the point, but I won’t, because it wouldn’t change how I live in the minds of whoever’s reading this but I have to say SOMETHING. Just so I can get it out there. I was always there to talk her down from a panic attack, where Mom and dad couldn’t. Her boyfriend’s going to the same school so they’ll have each other but I... I hope in her head she’ll think of what I’d say when university stresses her out. That’s all I can hope for.

    Pretty sure a lot of people saw the twist near the beginning, but that's what I think is so great about this show. You don't NEED a fancy revalation or surprise ending for the show to convey a very real and heartwarming message.
    You can watch an episode over and over again and it still tells the same story. I don't think I'll stop loving this show anytime soon because of that.

    5:05 OOOH, this reminds me of a story I once heard. A museum in Russia wanted to exhibit a certain WWII plane, but the problem was, it was discontinued a long time ago, there were no intact planes left, and no blueprints survived.
    What they did was take a bunch of workers who used to repair such planes all the time during the war, and had them build it from scratch.
    And they did. Because their muscle memory, the automatism of doing the same thing over and over again, it stayed with them after years passed. And that’s how the plane was restored.

    im 23 and ive lost my father, brother, and mother in completely different incidents. this was the first time ive ever related to a clip about coping with death. most people want to portray it as some terrifying looming fate that keeps you up at night but its not like that at all. not for me anyway. its mostly just annoying and angering.. you just feel like its bullshit that someone just doesnt exist anymore even though theyre clearly still somewhere inside you, telling you how much they want you to keep going.
    even though ive lost almost everyone ive ever been close to to some disease or accident, and i almost constantly feel like im going to die alone and miserable because of this, there are some days where i can hear my brother laughing along with me when i play the videogames we used to fight over. some days, i can watch old shows my mom and i would obsess over and i can still feel her love. and i lost my dad when i was 12, so my best memories with him will always be going to concerts and talking about music.
    there isnt much of a point to this comment. i just.. i really appreciated this video. i cant believe how much i relate to this guy, in each video ive thought "wow, we have the same demeanor and social hangups" and now i get around to seeing this one and now i know why.
    the writing in this show is amazing..
    anyway. thanks. this makes me feel a little less alone.

    What he is talking about is essentially the study of memetics: how a person or idea is passed down generations or through a population by intangible non-physical medium. Internet memes, for example, have carried on the legacy of Stefan Karl through his song, “We Are Number One”. Excellent metaphor.

      I know, I havent had someone very close die on me in quite some time (soon to be 5yrs) but, recently, I had a list of memories posted on someones profile on another social media that once stood by my side and meant the whole world to me, and still does, and found out she deleted all my memories, all the stories I worte on her forgotten profile, songs, all memory of her, gone.
      Back then, a few days ago, I didnt know what to feel, or think, It felt as if she wanted me dead or she really hated me for something, even though she decided to break up and not me. Her actions made me feel quite sad, even more than her actual break up. This video actually made me understand her hateful feelings towards me and that saddens me to the point that it actually made me cry, as if the break up wasnt painful enough, this, her deleting the memories, actually hurt far greater than the action.
      I miss her, and sometimes hold conversations with her in my dreams, and we always end up discussing about what should she have done, and what should I have done, we always end up feeling sorry for one another not in a way that might make us feel diminished but, we end up pleading forgiveness for not been the person we are in our heads, but in real life.
      I guess, I had a much more passionate loving human in my head than what she really is in real life, and I guess, I wasnt as loving and caring for her in real life as she imagined I was.
      in the end, we were not the memories we thought we were and maybe, she hates me for not been the person she dreamed of and I might be in love with a version of her that only exists in my head and heart.
      maybe it al was just a made up dream
      maybe all the memories we once had, were inventions of each others, and the experiences we had were nothing like we thought they were.
      maybe, there is a possible chance, that I have dreamt it all and none of that which I remember, ever happened.
      then again, dreams are but the ecoes of vague memories.

    This broke me. Ever since my dad died, I imagine a sound of the sea before I sleep, at least every time it's not too painful. He loved the sea so I always imagined that's where he would like to be. As the sound grows stronger I imagine coming to pebble beach he's sitting at. He greets me like he didn't see me for quite some time. At this point, I'm usually crying a little even though it's been a whole year since it happened. And he comforts me. And I know exactly what would he say. I then tell him about my day, about what's been bothering me or what made me happy. And he react exactly as I know he would. I always thought about how he's never really gone because I knew him so well I can imagine every his reaction. It's probably silly, but I never thought that other people feel this as well.

Which made 2017 I horrible year for me because it was the first year of my life that I had to spend without her. This video comforts me so much because it reminds me that my life can still be enjoyable and her life can continue as long as I keep spreading the lessons she taught me and memories we made. She lives as long as I remember what she would say. She lives through me and because of that I’m not alone. Thank you guys for this. I can’t wait for next episode.

  • @samweaver7144
    @samweaver7144 3 года назад +5

    I know the main emotional punch was the realization of his brother being dead, and I don't know why, but the "get drunk, tell someone you love them" hit me hard. I think it's because there's this underlying way of living there, something I've never really been able to do. Living open, and honest, and not caring if you're too emotionally intense, because life is so short, and authentic non-transactional affection feels so rare. At least to me, it does. It's still something I don't quite "understand" in terms of my experience. So is being able to just live without being too scared of what others think or what might go wrong
    I wish I was brave enough to be honest in that same way, and the juxtaposition of that regret, next to death, I think is what drove it home for me.
    I doubt any of the creators will read this, but I found the show this last year and it's really helped me, if in no other way than a vicarious, cathartic connection with others. I really wish it would come back, and I'm so grateful for your work.

Their shows may not be able to continue, but they'll still live on in their legacy and our memories.

    Wow, after more than a year, and Cracked's first video is so deep, dark, and profound!!! I'm pretty damn impressed!!! This video is so ringing true with what they did to half of the staff.
    So what is life?
    What is reality?
    What is art?
    Can we tell the difference?
    Yes, we can, and very simply too. We still repeat art in our heads, take for example the Cracked videos. We repeat the things that are already out, except that it's not healthy because it already is out there, and we need more than that. We know the difference because it's new, it's a new event happening for the first time.
    That's what we need to do, the living brother, knows it would be easier to have that conversation with his deceased brother and it would feel as though he were still alive, but like his brother was saying, it's not. He, no we, need to experience new events with new people or people we know are still with us. That's the difference.
    We can all keep watching old Cracked videos all the time over and over, enjoying every minute of it, but it's not real, it's not a new video or new event, until Cracked makes this video.
    I think this is Cracked's way of apologizing and tbh, I forgive them, and hope they make more, new, and interesting videos. Welcome back to RUclips, Cracked!!

    The ending was a bit predictable, but I still think it was beautiful. There doesn't even need to be this huge surprise ending for something to be meaningful, does it? Like, it meant a lot to me. It was hard to imagine, and it made me kind of sad to a point where I'm actually tearing up a bit because I have a brother, and I guess this just really makes me...think. So, even if it doesn't have a big twist that nobody expected, I think it can touch people in ways that are still really unique, and that's what I think gives it a special quality.
