yo waddup guys lol caleb here. sorry this video is kind of awkward but whatev

im gonna be firing off in the comments, keep it real

brøh
omelette?
Bortuga 3 please the bortuga fans are starving
9mm solves all problems
Funny rant but 18 min is a bit much
This doesn't even feel like acting, the dialog is pretty surreal.
It's not acting. It's a documentary duh
Ikr he's ridiculous good at characters like this
it is and it isn’t, like the time he got punched in the back of the head
Are you telling me this is all just an.. act?
@@PurieI this is his Caleb character, this character is rather surreal because he's so good at it.
This is the weirdest ad for Arizona Iced Tea I've ever seen.
Best product placement. 12/10
I think its better for you... because of fruit.
I just bought out all of my local 24/7 gas stations Arizona tea because of this commercial.
Isn't Arizona sold only in new york and Arizona?
@@shiftyswifty. Nah they're all over the place. We have them in Maryland
This captures the essence of living in a drug ridden, no opportunity, small town while in your late teens and early 20s perfectly
this
I don’t like how accurate your statement is
haha yeah early twenties, yah😰
This type of town is the true America lol.
Why you calling me out like this man?
The awkward guy saying “essentially” every five seconds while describing something is so accurate
Why is it so common though?
@@sentauri43 because they know that using filler words like “like” and “um” makes you sound like you’re not put together and don’t know what you’re talking about, so instead they use “essentially,” which is still a filler word because it essentially (😉) means nothing the way they’re using it, but it makes them sound smarter while they’re trying to think of the next thing to say
@@JediMaestr0 that and it’s a good way to kind of close up on your point if your taking too long to explain, instead of saying I digress, they’ll say essentially then summarize. Sometimes
@@ElDuderinoh essentially is almost like all of the meaning that makes a sentence valuable, like the "essence"
This feels like one of those weird pre-RUclips videos you'd find on random websites in 2005
Google videos during computer lab in high school.
The only problem is that the microphone isn't crappy enough.
Ebaum's World hype.
This is uncomfortably believable
Caleb caused me to remember that these sorts of people exist.
Right down to the 75 cent Arizona. Amazing.
Yeah lol
I didnt realise it was real until goin into the comments
@@Vibing2443 HAHAHA
man this could be an Adult Swim series. The life of suburban arizona tea drinking teens.
I would definitely get high and watch that lmao 👌🏾
Its like Atlanta but about an awkward nerdy guy
would watch that. the midwest is full of awkward teenagers like this.
It definitely could. The reality of it and the kind of awkwardness of it makes it funny and relatable
This is the funniest video I've ever not laughed at.
Perfect
When he chokes on the drink at Jack's door was the laughing point for me 🤣
Perfect comment.
Well said.
This is oddly very on the nose with some of his videos. It is very much a compliment to his range of emotions portrayed in them.
The fact that this doesnt feel scripted is a huge testament to the acting ability of joel and his friends
He says most of his work is improv
@@ohmygoditisspider7953 there must have been a vague idea of what he needed done though, right?
Also I meant more like it feels completely unscripted, I guess the way I said it makes it sound a little different
@Farb S There is an idea for sure. I heard one of his girl actors talk about how they kept redoing a scene to get certain aspects right. He has a vision in mind - but he allows the gaps to breath with improv
@@phillystevesteak6982 link?
long takes too
The key thing here is it takes him an entire day to finish an Arizona tea.
So true I was thinking that
He is at such high risk for dental caries
No, he just buys more between cuts
At least a day possibly more because he told jack "sorry I hit you the other day", such a hilarious little detail, joel's brilliant
-See you on Xbox live?
-I gotta study.
-Yeah, see you on Xbox live.
Too relatable.
"I'm hookin up with Stacy!?!? LETSSS GOOO!!!"
I laughed too hard at yaboi Jack Stevens.
I have a feeling I won't be able to meet another girl named Stacy without thinking of that
Bruh, this guy literally punched jack stevens lights out.
bro dude actually proud of the punch all thing consider i put all my energy into that and it looks so sick on camera - c.
@@Joel-Haver I honestly can’t tell if it’s real or not! Either way it looks like it came straight outta Hollywood.
@@Joel-Haver Yoo Caleb! Your the man!
@@Joel-Haver The ONLY punches I'm proud of are the ones where I ran away afterwards.
No Jack is safe...
This mythic level of awkwardness is achieved by sounding like you're about to cry, laugh, rage, and doubt everything you ever knew, all at the same time, at all times.
Lol
This is the best comment and so true
quarantine voice
Oh wow youre cool
i felt that
Jack Stevens is a tragically hilarious character.
Like Oedipus
Good description.
YOOOOO THATS BULLSHIT BRO
"I just punched Jack Stevens in the face, and you're not even going to go out with me!?"
bahahahah way to win a lady over
I dont know why you think that. I mean I dont know why I said that. Lol
vodka solves all problems. sometimes.
Eyyyy! Comrade Boris! Didn't expect Slav Superstar to be here.
wtf u doing here boris
Oh shit its the slavman
The Slav King himself! Woo!
You do really like Joel Mr Boris, maybe a collab sometime ? :D
This is scientifically distilled cringe. You sir, are an artist.
Especially during the phone call, Y I K E S
@@idaofficial1173 that call should never have lasted so long
@S L Yep, this genuinely brought me right back. Tripped me out a bit but in a good way.
But really like, this is actual art... How he switched into talking out call of duty black ops and I still have no idea wtf he's on about 😂 and yet im intrigued... Art
If you tapped that keg of cringe it would come out thick and rich like molasses and would be sold in a wood box on the top shelf 😂
I feel like this character is such a beautiful depiction of guys trying to process emotions without having ever been equipped with like tools and words and permission to process emotions
What does that even mean? Who is waiting around to get permission from someone to think about things?
I think you're right
@@CarterDeLeo just that it can be difficult for people to process their own emotions and stuff if they havent been encouraged or felt accepted to talk about them in the open as a child
@@CarterDeLeo have you serioualy never heard the old saying of "men aren't allowed to cry"?
@@CarterDeLeo everyone, man
Jack Stevens was ZONKED OUT OF HIS MIND
ZONKED OUT MILFORD DROPOUT
Roachdog :O
Jerma
I'm glad the accurately portrayed small-town teenage drama portion of my life is over.
Right? Hahahaha holy shit
man, Caleb is the realest dude fr like he owned that guy jack like PHYSICALLY you know with that clap then he owned himself like he owned up to what he did and then he owned that guy like took him under his wing in zombies and shit
dudes hella cool, milford represent my guy
bro u put it so well it like poetry, proud to be the big man
hop on xbox im bouta go round 50 on kino with or without u bro

@@Joel-Haver Yo i would be there man, real shit tho mom says ive used up all my screentime for this weekend, really makes you think though like wtf just let me be alive
@@Joel-Haver I can do all the Easter eggs on Kino der Toten I can get all the film reels and stuff & the radios and I can do the freaking rocket launch in the five room did nobody knows about the five room rocket launch, if you open the stage door I'm leaving, you can host cuase you cool
I've watched this video maybe twenty times now because it's just such a beautiful story of tension, anxiety and friendship.
It's amazing that you do everything in improv, it has made me completely rethink scripts and how much needs to be written.
It's the best!
Eyo what script bro? You think my man C is here actin'?
Essentially
"the third fastest speed stacker in my whole class"
Caleb can be so anecdotal sometimes
ill be the first too admit that lol - c
the one guy who disliked the video is Jack Stevens
fr tho jack stevens can be chill af so i wudnt worry about him - c
He be like, "dude I disliked it? Aww yeah dude! I smashed that button so hard yeah!...uh what?"
He can't even process what a YT video is
Though he clearly was trying to hit 'like', but as evidenced by his upside down controller he has difficulty telling up from down.
@@Joel-Haver Ya problly got to lvl 40 in COD Zombies last night
This was a fucking Odyssey.
Fantastic use of the word Odyssey, couldn't agree more.
This video makes me feel like it’s 2006, I’m 12 years old hanging out with my older cousin and his friends on a Saturday and I’m thinking to myself “this is what high school is like.”
You were 12 in 2006...
...I was 15.
*me having old man PTSD flashbacks
@@rahjeel hi fellow kids. I know I might appear to have been 12 in 1989, but I still hang out with the high school kids while wearing my old letterman jacket and class ring. It might be a little akward with me being a little older, and starting to go bald. But hey, I buy beer and have a car. I'm just like you guys though, right?
Cool. See ya later dudes.

that movie was so sick i like the second one with heath ledger as joker dude was twisted af almost forgot he was the bad guy - c
This should be a series, this is like Napoleon Dynamite mixed with Trailer Park Boys. I love it
And like a dash of Scott pilgrim
It _is_ a series. Caleb just can't get his shit together since at least 2019. ("The Hero's Journey explained by that kid Caleb from your hometown")
(PS: Wow, now we can't even link other YT videos in comments any more? It just didn't submit until I removed the link. Amazing.)
Caleb really kept the grip on the Arizona tight for hours.
the acting is fucking disgustingly good
Right? It took me forever before I realized this wasn't "real." lol
Lol. Guys... You have zero idea what good acting is if you sre saying stuff like that.
@@Woodsaras shut up
The continuity of the Joel Haver Cinematic Universe is wilddd
I love that the only store in the JHCU is rite-aid
Ikr lll
@@treek506 the full impact of the “penis shrinkray” scandal in the rite-aid group text has yet to be seen, stay tuned folks!
the scene with caleb and his sister where he asks her to talk in to the mic had me in stitches
"Is dad getting pizza tonight?"
"no"
"You gotta talk into the mic"
*"no"*
I actually felt like Caleb went through some character development.
Reflected on his actions, apologized to Stevens, drove Kevin home so he can study, and then did a favor for Stevens. Caleb's all grown up. Like, uh, Oedipus for example.
Oh-edippus
The authenticity of acting here is insane. If someone showed me this saying it was just someone recording their honest self I'd absolutely believe them.
I'm in the middle of the video, is this fake?
@@nerveinz6453 is this fake???
@@nerveinz6453 could be real??
@@nerveinz6453 its fake, joels just really good at acting

oh wait thats an actual quote from the video too XD
Oh man that path of realization
That sounded like a thing we'd say in the 90s, it feels warm
@@altrogeruvah Fucking Time traveler, playing zombies in the 90's
The total number of people Caleb has punched in the nose is now one because it was The Hero that did it that other time
"I think its healthier for you, I think. Because of fruit" The was funny
You personally know someone who thinks that way. Im positive you can name someone you know who thinks that

Another journey for our hero Caleb. Truly a modern day Homer
dude the simpsons so epic thank for the comparison dude is hilarious - c.
DOH!
Nah he's Oedipus bro
damn, joel's replies in the comments are priceless !!
I love how Joel consciously uses 'all intensive purposes' for his character.
I thought it was “intensive” for longer than I’m admitting here. When I finally enlightened myself to the actual phrase I was like “dammit! NOW it makes sense!”
@@nataliazakula3400 hahaha, nice. I never bring down anyone who doesn't know any better, because most times folks have the very same 'aha!' moment. :)
@@MrSchnitzelSchitz yeah buddy. We all know. It’s why it’s funny. But thanks for putting it in queen’s English.
It's like the opposite of when you've only ever read a word and completely mangle the pronunciation
@@TheHughgee I did that. I was saying omnipotent wrong.
This permeates rural American energy
I grew up in the suburbs but lived in country areas for a bit, and this is almost exactly the vibe you get out there lol
Do you mean radiates?
As someone who grew up in LA, this is interesting to me...
big napolioan dynamite energy
@@thomasray I think he means premeditates
"The worst she can say is no"
Her: What? No! Wh- Why would we hang out? Why would I hang out with you? Literally.
“Apparently he got to level 40 though which is sick-“ I love this development.
"Cops, gotta stay low"
You know how the cops get in regards to speedstackers
Stay safe out there
I can't explain it, but whenever I see a Joel Haver video I'm hesitant to click it, but never regret watching. It's almost like I can't stand the fact that I'm looking at a near perfect reflection of my own awkwardness, but that there's catharsis in seeing it play out in front of me with no consequences.
this is so accurate to both small town teenage drama and people in their 20s drama.
and, sometimes early 30s...
Joel has become such an integral part of my life in such a short period of time. And I ain't complaining.
Same here. I check RUclips a few times a day just to see if Joel posted a new vid.
Thank you for phrasing my indescribable emotions.
I dunno he feels a bit........
.....derivative
Me too.
@@jeewoo7195 im digging derivative.
The ballad of Caleb is the Godfather of our generation
sometime i feel like that guy dude was a total boss and im kinda in command of all my shit - c
@@Joel-Haver sup
"Intensive purposes"
Ricky would be proud. Now smokes, let's go.
Impressing Ricky isn’t exactly rocket appliances though
I like how he almost said the phrase right, but caught himself before he could say the phrase right, and slid smoothly into fucking it up.
What a lad.
@@neilkristjansson8477 I caught that too haha
I love this kind of commonly misunderstood phrases.
“High school. Middle school even.” Indeed. You certainly have a way with words, Caleb.
Yo C, Stacy don realise wat she's got. She needs to see dis! U defended her honor, bro! Hit me up on Xbox live sometime man, I got u!
my dude exactly what I wanted to hear yes u r so right hope she sees this video lol I look badass when I punch him tbh, ill hop on xbox after chores
@@Joel-Haver sucks i couldnt be there bro i wanted to but my mom still was grounding me. when they went to sleep though i played kino der toten again and got to level 45 bro i pack a punched the nuke bro it was crazy
Yo we playin Minecraft or cod? i heard they came out wit a new adventure update in minecraft.
@@Joel-Haver the method acting is amazing lol
@@captainfach shhh
As someone who grew up in suburban Mass, this is terrifyingly realistic in terms of real people I know. As soon as you popped an Arizona, a shiver practically ran down my spine lol
A shiver ESSENTIALLY went down your spine

@Kadir Bullang Down a shiver spine went my essentially
I cant Essentially understand Essentially your acc-cent *ESSENTIALLY*
@@nukiradio I understand essentially can't
Lol this guy must be an improv master. This doesn’t feel scripted at all.
Aside from his full length films; they don't script anything.
That or it’s just how he really is and he fooled you good
Choking on his drink was great…
This is improv?
I thought it was a documentary.
Or live leak
@@tcideh4929 Check out his channel, Joel Haver. He’s a film maker and makes a bunch of funny skits and plays a bunch of different characters
I've never seen a better representation of 'teenage angst carried out over years until indoctrinated into one's daily life'. It's quite funny how long we carry around our issues and drama. Beautiful video.
I love this character. We all know one of these. My heart is out to all the Calebs out there
thnx bro fr im so cool and it about tim people notice - c.
I just realized im a caleb
is this video for real, or was it just acting? I'm so confused.
@@hunterkudo9832 Lmao it was acting, look at his other videos
@@hunterkudo9832 he makes a lot of skits, some with recurring characters. This is one of them. I'm sure he'd be happy to know that it is hard to tell if it is real or not though
Step aside Apparently Kid, we've got Essentially Guy in town
Apparently kid is so wholesome omg I love him
A PEARL KNEE
Caleb is that one mate who never really grew up after high school
I love how Caleb holds this Arizona can throughout the whole movie.
Well, I mean. He gets a discount on the Zona's at the rite aid so it's only 75 cents a can.
Dude the seatbelt alarm is insane character building.
You know the acting is good when you don’t know if he’s acting or not
I was so confused when watching his movies
No, thats not how you know that the acting is good
"I'm hookin up with stacy?!?! LETS GOOO!" lmao.
“Apparently he got to level 40 which is sick”
That is sick
The authenticity of the awkwardness and the silent moments and the performance of Caleb here was genius man. Anyone without context, without the outro would think this is an old VHS tape recording of their uncle in his youth, fantastic word man.
can't believe joel risked getting pulled over for not having a seatbelt on just to add to the character
Uploaded VHS quality video in 4k.
Joel Haver understands comedy on a level I can't even comprehend.
There is seriously a level of unseen sophistication to this style of comedy. I have so much respect for you
"By the time everybody else was on cigarettes, he was on methamphetamines..."
True class
the ultra hipster
Caleb: Everybody needs to sit down for this one.
Everybody: We are sitting down.
Caleb: No, talk into the mic.
Everybody: We are sitting down.
Hahaha
This is uncomfortably sad/cringe/relatable at the same time
NO SCHOOL BULLY CAN HOLD ME
ADVENTURE AWAITS
HUZZAH!
The opening monologue is fascinating. It's like someone secretly filmed me.
Honestly would love a full length movie of these characters
They streamed Dark Souls 3 and Elden Ring in these characters and it was golden
Joel uploaded one last month
Omg he referenced the Rite Aid guy who apparently invented a special shrink ray. This is lore.
@MrKiaiand JHCU!!!
Imagine the world populated by Joel's characters. This is what real utopia is like
@@noahdouble07 hope to visit it one day...
A world where someone else is more awkward than me is a world I want to live in.
@@bernardjazz6344 ikr
Joel: GO GO GO, DRIVE DRIVE!
Camera man: I’m in the passenger seat...
😂😂😂
Laughed out loud here
Desperately clutching that can of Arizona like trying to hold onto the glory days of our adolescence
This isn't a skit. This is experimental art.
Each time he switched his hands on the wheel - I felt horrible anxiety
I feel ya
That awkward rambling in the beginning is top notch. Really makes me fear for my life being anywhere near this guy.
It took me two days to watch this short film because I had to pause and process the awkwardness. What a masterpiece.
The over-use of the word 'essentially' was my favorite touch. Joel is way too good at this.
I would call this method acting but I think Joel did a brain transplant with that one high school kid we all used to know.
This is an documentary not an skit anymore.
meta shitposting with style
There's a moment in this where all of us were like "there's 5 more minutes of this?" and that's what makes it so beautiful.
The Jack Stevens part really got me, I knew some people like this who's drug really fucking damaged them. It feels so authentic, grats on the performance to everyone involved. You should do a coming of age film about caleb one day lol
Joel out here not dropping character ‘til he’s done the DVD commentary.
Is that a reference to Tropic Thunder robert Downey jr. Characters dedication lol
The aesthetic scene of Jack, Caleb, and Kevin gaming for like a scene, dude.
A self absorbed napoleon dynamite, his zoinked out childhood bully going with the flow, and a passive tag along who doesn't really want to be there
Former Rite Aid employee here, we only received 10% off products like drinks and 25% off of Rite Aid branded products but it's been a while so perhaps they've changed the policy. Loved the video, Joel. Thank you for the content you bring us.
Immersion ruined
But have they changed their employee masturbation policy?
This has a bit of a Trailer Park Boys vibe with a touch of Kevin Smith day-in-the-life to it. I'd watch more.
I love how through nothing but improvised skits, you've created like a Joel Haver Cinematic Universe. I'm excited to know that Brendan and Caleb exist in the same world.
If Disney acquires him, they can replace all the characters with historically marginalized people and we won't have to see as many swm.

Oh gods. This was such an emotional rollercoaster. We've all met that perpetual middle schooler.
