There are also one or two points where he looks like he might laugh at the sheer ridiculousness of it, but it’s really well done and I feel I enjoyed the whole thing more than I should have :)
Without only the strongest potions, the knight would die. If it’s true that the potion seller’s potions would kill the knight, then the knight will die either way. At least the potion seller could make some coin off the knight before he died.
I always got the impression that the knight intended to use the potions against his enemies. Although, that may be due to the version I saw changing it so that the knight said he was about to fight a dragon after the seller stated the potion would kill one.

@Logan yea but what if a weaker potion would do? What kind of battle is it? The knight doesn't realize the his strongest potions are only for the strongest beings.
Pomodorosan or even more of a twist. He thinks his potions are so strong, no one could drink them. What he doesn’t know is that he just sucks, but coincidentally he became the best poison seller on the market.
This comment got referenced in an interview with Justin on a major podcast. Check out the big picture podcast episode about challengers and go to the 1:53 mark
I love the subtleties of this piece, like how the Knight is confident and stoic when he enters, while the Potion Seller is rather meek and introverted, speaking little. As the story continues, the characters develop, the Knight is flustered by the refusal of service and becomes at first irritated, then angered, then flat out desperate to obtain what the Potion Seller possesses. He exposes his core character flaw, that he is frightened of battle and doesn't trust himself to succeed without a performance enhancing drug. The Potion Seller becomes bolder, speaking more often and confidently, emboldened by the Knight's clear insecurities and pleading. These character flaws only make the Potion Seller more certain of his refusal of service and by the end he demands that the Knight leaves and underlines the core theme, that the Knight believes that the potions are worth more than anything a Knight can achieve naturally, and so he states that the potions are capable of anything that the Knight can do.
"My potions are fit for a beast, let alone a man!" Potion Seller has a really roundabout way of letting Knight know that he's a veterinarian, not a pharmacist...

"I got asked on a red carpet recently which of the characters in 'Challengers' could handle the strongest potions, and I was caught off guard and so I said 'Tashi', and I was upset afterwards...(starts laughing) because the answer is none, no one. The answer is canonically no one, and I should've said that. So I was...yeah, I'll correct that now." -Justin Kuritzkes, in a Letterboxd interview earlier this year
Imagine the roommate who lived with him. "Oh god that weirdo that talked into photobooth on his 2006 MacBook when he had writer's block? Thank god I never spoke to him again. Oh. Wha- he's written a movie starring Zendaya now?! And he's authored a book, what the heck???"
I love that you can hear somebody laugh in the background at 1:31 which just makes him break a little. The idea that you would do this in the same house as somebody has such a powerful energy
Not only that, but he turned his laugh into the knight breaking down into tears. All of Justin's videos are ad-libbed and he's a master of improvisation.
If you've seen Past Lives, the heartbreakingly beautiful Celine Song film, the husband is based on this guy. Strange to think about, but I'm happy for him!
I got drunk at a party once and I kept referring to the bartender as potion seller, and telling him to sell me his strongest potions. It got old really fast but I was too drunk to realise, so I kept doing it.
I'm convinced this video hasn't been seen by loads of people at all, and the millions of views are actually the same people coming back to it over and over again.
the end could be interpreted as a cliffhanger, it seems like the potion seller slowly loses patience until the very last line when he realizes he can use the power he holds for his own purposes
Someone went to far with the fortify restoration loop and sold those potions to this guy. He may be a filthy rascal, but he is right. No one can handle those glitch-degree strong potions, not even the Dragonborn.
more like "drug seller, I need..." - "ay man I've got everything, weed, coke, crack, you can have anything, anything you want, just go ahead and buy some of my drugs, my drugs are fit for anyone, anyone at all, no matter who you are, my drugs are a good way to get intoxicated"
I'm gonna be honest, I'm a dungeon master, and I wrote a Dungeons & Dragons campaign where Potion Seller is a key recurring character throughout the story and it's my proudest achievement to date
my friends and I used to watch this all the time in college. anyway I just saw Challengers in the theater and wanted to congratulate you. five star movie. thank you for the entertainment all these years
This video truly deserves its legendary status. Just a guy having the purest of fun making the simplest of videos, and yet the result has spawned parodies, tributes, fanart, and fan made lore. This is RUclips at its best, and a display of how great the consumer internet can be.
...I can't tell if you're missing what is right in front of you, so I'd like to point it out: This video is beautiful because it's pure fun with no ulterior motive (such as profit).. just a dude having fun!

Imagine the roommate who lived with him. "Oh god that weirdo that talked into photobooth on his 2006 MacBook when he had writer's block? Thank god I never spoke to him again. Oh. Wha- he's written a movie starring Zendaya now?! And he's authored a book, what the heck???"
I love that you can hear somebody laugh in the background at 1:31 which just makes him break a little. The idea that you would do this in the same house as somebody has such a powerful energy
Not only that, but he turned his laugh into the knight breaking down into tears. All of Justin's videos are ad-libbed and he's a master of improvisation.
Nice catch. I m8ssed that.
Exactly how I remembered Skyrim
This has more Oblivion vibes tbh
@@DongusMcBongus True
Not when you use the fortify restoration glitch. After that YOU are the potion seller, and the shopkeeper can't even afford them lol
You didn't play skyrim then
potion seller is def a high elf

GOOD. THIS REVIEWER IS NOT WELCOME HERE.
Amazingly skyrim hadn't been released yet.
Big mood
Some say he’s still fucking virgins today
I come back to this once every year or so. It's strangely comforting, a reminder of simpler times. Ah man. When did we get old.
Amen to that, still waiting to feel like an adult.
This man has single-handedly inspired me to write characters
but can they handle his strongest potions
This Potion Seller is in my D&D game. He acts the same. He sounds the same. His potions are too strong for the characters.
@@alexsimonenko465 nope. Do it my man. Characters will buy the potions, and give it some bad consequences
@@ASuspiciousCrab Yes! My players will never forget the phrase "please roll a constitution check for me..."
@@alexsimonenko465 indeed. Wizards and sorcerers fear those words the most

If you've seen Past Lives, the heartbreakingly beautiful Celine Song film, the husband is based on this guy. Strange to think about, but I'm happy for him!
I got drunk at a party once and I kept referring to the bartender as potion seller, and telling him to sell me his strongest potions. It got old really fast but I was too drunk to realise, so I kept doing it.
You want to believe they got the reference. You know they did not.

Joke's on you it was a raccoon den in a hollowed out oak.
Brother, if I was your bartender you'd be getting doubles just for the reference.
His potions were too strong for you.
This video has such an energy to it but I can’t properly describe it
2019 energy?
Crackhead Energy
Meme energy

*chaotic chaotic
The fact he’s holding the laughter in amplifies the acting by making himself cry. Truly a master
I'm convinced this video hasn't been seen by loads of people at all, and the millions of views are actually the same people coming back to it over and over again.
I’m going to have this potion seller in my next D&D game.
Yo let me know how it goes LMAO
This potion seller was in my last game, my dm is awesome
I'm making a Homebrew for the Potion Seller, lol!

Better than any shit on the internet
You've missed one more:
*Potions*
@@CertifiedGoonerMan oh crap thx for reminding
better than most movies
Satisfying/satisfactory*
the end could be interpreted as a cliffhanger, it seems like the potion seller slowly loses patience until the very last line when he realizes he can use the power he holds for his own purposes
"You've had your say potion seller, but I'll have mine."
“You’re a rascal!”
"You're a rascal with no respect for Knights!"
NO RESPECT FOR ANYTHING. EXCEPT YOUR P O T I O N S
Why respect knights...?
When my *potions* can do *anything* that *you* can...?
*quicksaves*
This is the face of a man who has a very good chance of winning an academy award next year.
This doesn't seem like a sustainable buisness plan.
he only sells to his strongest potions.
Someone went to far with the fortify restoration loop and sold those potions to this guy. He may be a filthy rascal, but he is right. No one can handle those glitch-degree strong potions, not even the Dragonborn.

@@wrongtime9097 Beware the glitch-tier. Simply using items that powerful could destroy the entire world.
He's creating hype.
potion man, take by the hand, lead me to the land that you understand
Potion man, for I can not stand, laying on the sand, without your brew brands.
Oh . I found the bards !
Potion man, the voyage into battle for the globe is a real trip.
I just spit everywhere
Potion man, the author of a brand not fit for a man, rejecting all the knights that he can
Looks like a normal conversation in The Elder Scrolls : Oblivion

Absolutely wild that this dude would go on to write a film that made 100 million at the box office (Challengers)
A classmate of mine in Web Design was obsessed with this video all semester, to the point where he made multiple websites based on it.
what the
Could you please tell me the links? It's fine if you don't want to but I would love to see them
I think we all want to see these.
You can't just say this and NOT give the website links.
*LINKS OR IT DIDN'T HAPPEN* 🥺
this is how I imagine buying drugs works.
more like "drug seller, I need..." - "ay man I've got everything, weed, coke, crack, you can have anything, anything you want, just go ahead and buy some of my drugs, my drugs are fit for anyone, anyone at all, no matter who you are, my drugs are a good way to get intoxicated"
Its very similar
Only when you're already on drugs
Knights dont buy drugs, they sell them.
Buying drugs is alot like this on drugs (depending on what u on)
I always love how he transformed his laughing into crying to stay in character.
Now that is what I call maximum acting.
If Justin wins an Oscar for Challengers I will be mad. The Oscar should have been for this masterpiece of a script.
In his acceptance speech: “Oscar givers, I am accepting an Oscar and I need your strongest award”
I'm gonna be honest, I'm a dungeon master, and I wrote a Dungeons & Dragons campaign where Potion Seller is a key recurring character throughout the story and it's my proudest achievement to date
That is AMAZING
Does he sell potions or just say the players are weak?
And none of them killed him?
Im a DM too... I need to find a way to fit this in x'D
@@IronBahamut his potions can do anything the knight can, he would win.
Hes trying so hard not to laugh thats hes crying
*hes crying*
666th like. congratulations 😈
Top notch therefore
the white teeth completes
what are you on about? he's crying because the guy doesn't want to sell him his bloody portions
yee haw eh he still laughed
no no, he's crying because he can't get the strong potions
Elder Scrolls VI dialogue options are looking good

I love that he's cracking up.
That or on the verge of crying.
James Miller of course he’s crying, the potion seller won’t give him his strongest potions!
my friends and I used to watch this all the time in college. anyway I just saw Challengers in the theater and wanted to congratulate you. five star movie. thank you for the entertainment all these years
This video truly deserves its legendary status. Just a guy having the purest of fun making the simplest of videos, and yet the result has spawned parodies, tributes, fanart, and fan made lore. This is RUclips at its best, and a display of how great the consumer internet can be.
theres only one thing i want, is this potion seller character, voiced by justin, in elden ring, that'd complete my life and many others
...I can't tell if you're missing what is right in front of you, so I'd like to point it out:
This video is beautiful because it's pure fun with no ulterior motive (such as profit).. just a dude having fun! The internet gets much worse the more we lean into that word you just said: _consumer._
The beauty of the internet is almost entirely lost when we compulsively monetize it.
@@idontwantahandlethough they aren't missing anything, you are both saying the same thing. Is it the use of the word consumer that you have a gripe with?
The title of "consumer" has no link to monetary exchange unless you make it so.
But thanks to algorithms and Satan we can’t have videos like these won’t ever float to the top.
unfortunately the internet like life has been ruined by the rich
