I laughed out loud when I heard "I would happily swap".
"Is there a cat nearby that's miraculously given birth to a human? I'll happily swap." Awesome! Love it. ^_^
hahahhaha yeah that was too funny :'D
swap of the year)))
Funny video, but
• I spent too much time puzzling over the blood on her collarbone. In the end I figured it's just some afterbirth joke.
• I didn't think the final (written) tag was necessary. I thought it overstated what was already mostly obvious. Nothing like spelling out irony to remove the irony.
• one question that the video completely failed to answer: what color ink was the kitten done in?
Actually, that wasn't blood on the nurse.
So what was it, then? Kindly spell it out for the slow students in the class.
77thTrombone red ink
One red perpendicular line
It's actually a left angle in blue.
The sketches on this channel are so damn good. They deserve millions of views. Very good work 🙌🙃
Glad you are enjoying them!
9 years later and this is more true than ever!!
well this was really a horror short movie considering the explanation at the end. bc that means the baby is not a kitten, only people see it as one!
HQ as always, your shorts never cease to amaze me.
Thanks, I'm happy you liked it!
I like how he looks at the kitten, and the implication is that now the kitten is his.
Nothing makes me happier than finding out you've done another sketch. I still show all my friends 'the expert' and I loved this too! Thanks and keep it up :)
I love all of your shorts!
When I was pregnant I had a dream that I gave birth to a kitten.
it would be funny, if your mother told it to you early. everybody wants to see your face thattime
So its all your fault
This was confusing, I feel like i missed the joke
I think it's that, as soon as she said "genetic mutations" he switched from disbelief to belief, and treated the kitten like a misfortune instead of an impossibility. This would reflect how people believe more if they're told there's science behind it.
yeah but its supposed to be a comedy sketch, saying that people will believe anything that science backs up isn't funny or profound
That's called religion.
@Jon Seymour
This isn't it, chief.
Can anyone from Chernobyl comment on the genetic mutation thing?
The youtube skit that predicted Sweet Tooth
what audio set up and gear did you use? love all your videos btw
Langston Films , very simple set-up, just 1 boom and sound recorder!
Why is there blood on her chest?
She delivered the kitten.
its a tattoo?
The start of Sweet Tooth
I UNDERSTOOD THAT REFERENCE!
This is these days serious an issue… unbelievable genius this video
You have to do more videos... these are hilarious.
blackhat2005 , any day now :)
Lauris Beinerts two years later... :P more expert videos, please!
One more today!
Lauris Beinerts nice!
@@LaurisB one more today?
Hahaah this was funny, looking forward for more like this.
I really love this channel. I love the way they have a message in each video. Quality content
I LOVE THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Whats the joke?
+Frabbledabble If his unhelpful friend giving directions wasn't enough... perhaps you missed the end. His phone gives him directions like his friend did almost word for word. Now he's back where he started.
...
Wait a second... if you've got me explaining this video because you're are jokingly leading me to believe that you are one of those who are "stupid enough to believe we are capable of giving birth to animals" and that this video is more faction than comedy. You got me. Nice one, how meta.

Nothing so advanced... Maybe its just not my brand of comedy...
I just see a man whos wife just delivered a kitten instead of a baby.
This ofcoarse upset the man, who had been expecting a human child.
Then the text comes up, basically saying:
"Some time this century, humans start birthing animals. No, not really, you idiot."
Frabbledabble Oh my bad. My RUclips got all messed up and it looked as though your comment up there was for the "Directions" short (which I describe) rather than the Progression short (which you describe). Now that I know what you were *actually* commenting on, my response is exactly like yours - I really didn't find that short funny at all.
Me either. The skit isn't even remotely funny.
The end was grandiose ;)
Yey, jauns un superīgs video. Ceru, ka drīz būs vēl. Un jūs esat ieguvuši daudz vairāk subscriberu kā daudzi kanāli gadu laikā. Tā turpināt!
rudolfs strods , prieks, ka patīk, tad ir vērts censties!
ouch, that hurts.... You just earned yourself a subscriber
+letsgetoutsidenow happy you enjoyed it :)
Wouldn't the title "Progress" be more apt?
Otherwise, keep up the incredibly obvious "comedy". I like the way you've kept the need to actually laugh to a minimum.
Damn ....... I fell for the last part
It's a Khajit
I like all of your videos, you are very talented! Have to say I didn't love this one thou. Keep them coming!!
Very entertaining - thanx
I didn't get trapped, I knew it :)
Estimado Lauris. Me encantan tus videos pero solo El experto es el único que he podido bajar con subtitulos en español. ¿Qué puedo hacer pues quiero compartirlos con mis amigos y amistades?
+Orlando Carnota , the subtitles were translated by the community, so if you or someone else would send me subtitles for other videos, I can put them up, as well!
0:57 Origin of the Sonic movie.
Just love it :D (and of course, kitten)
A " Cat-ten" lol
What about a bird?
In Red ink
To be honest, a kitten is a huge upgrade from a fucking human baby. Humans are the worst.
Exactly, he should have been happy!
So random, that's the best kind of comedy!!!
The blood on her neck…
X-Men vibe :)
What's happened to Simon's left ear?
+hellterminator OMG, I can't unsee it now! (I think its part of the progression.)
He was doubly stupid, because he not only believed in the birth of the kitten but also believed the woman.
Funny...XD
ahahahah)))I really thought that he would take it for himself.So naive))
😂😂 i also watched the expert
these vids are great
But the man in the sketch never seemed like he believed his wife had given birth to a kitten he just seemed baffled at the situation and getting no where with the nurse so he sat down and started to get his thoughts together. And because it was a "comedy sketch" I just accepted that he never tried to actual find his wife or another doctor because I assumed you all didn't have the budget for more actors.
Brilliant work:)
The best part is where it's socially acceptable that the man has no reproductive rights. Good sketch largely reflecting reality,
SigZero what do you mean by that? (He can choose to give up the kitten, or keep it so I'm just wondering)
Samaah Hussain ahahha watch this
I have noticed a lot more newly weds with little puppies or kittens instead of human infants.
Because they are way easier to care for...
I didn’t get the idea behind this video...
Does it imply that genetic mutations don’t occur? Or maybe that genetic mutations can’t lead to a newborn looking nothing like it’s parents? Or that people will believe anything if you tell them that there’s a scientific study that explains that particular phenomenon?
If it’s the first two things - it’s obviously a fact that mutations happen and some children may look nothing like their parents (to a certain degree of course)! There are people with horrible disfigurements due to genetic diseases that in reality you know. Hopefully this video is not talking about those cases...
i believed for a few seconds
what is the accent of the guy?
Holy moly, I hope not... xD
nice 'comedy' sketch
Um... aren't we animals?
Kit'n not kit-Tin.
This is 2022
i'm confused, in an odd way...
when she grows up
tell that to the flat-earthers ^_^
First of all, what's the blood on her neck and wrist? Second, wtf?
She was there at the delivery. There is a lot of blood in a birth.
Evolution. lol
Почему тут нет субтитров?
Есть! И тоже по Русски!
I'm from the future, it's 2023, a lot of people will be offended by this...
This is good. I can think of a number of examples that this happens in real life.
Nowdays people say the following things and people believe it:
- men can have babies
- if a man just dresses and acts like a woman, then he is a woman
- we evolved from a monkey
- herding cows changes the climate
shall I go on?
I loved it. So right. Says a lot about what's natural and must remain so. Like being straight.
Looks like you fall into the "dumb enough to believe" category
What is is the joke?
it is!
I hope that doesnt happen in the future :D
So... where the original short story used the line "God's ways are inscrutable" and seemed to be taking a shot at religion, you replace the line with "Our progression knows no bounds."
*calculating*
Is this a shot at otherkin? Or generally at progressiveness, and people being expected to be accepting of everything?
*gears turning*
Together with the original this draws a parallel between progressive acceptance and the least sane component of religion: the fact that it can, in the minds of the faithful, explain any impossible-seeming thing.
Got there!
+Thoreaux Link to the original please?
+Nivesh Proag klab.lv/users/zupcis/470325.html , in Latvian. I tried google translate, which is not great, but it translated that phrase with confidence. Think it might be like a common phrase.
+Thoreaux I'd say it is a shot at dumbing down and decline of critical thought - which I guess is the same thing in different words?
Lauris Beinerts Not quite the same thing.
+Lauris Beinerts well i guess climate change was all a huge lie then...
maybe Vaccines weren't a good idea either....
uh... ok....
Dis b rayciss
She could have cheated on him jk lol
There is always that option.
Funny 🤔? I am just confirmed.
Confirmation bias!
@@LaurisB What do you mean? I thought it would be funny.🤔
This is not as smart as the one who came up with it thinks.
100% agree its too full of itself
do you mean fool?
The sketch is too proud of its own idea, the original idea of the sketch isn't funny enough to make it worthwhile and the final payoff isn't clever it just says people are thick enough to believe anything which is a bit smug.
for me its rather a black humor or just apocalyptic humor
just show this to the people with shortage complex and they will get well
why is there blood on her chest? why is there blood on her chest? why is there...sod that why is half of his fucking ear missing is what I was thinking.
She came straight from the delivery ward.
Wait. Humans aren't animals? 😋
In which universe is this funny ... and what the hell have you people been smoking ?
"well, it´s a girl" :)
Always remember we must repent of our sins (sin is transgression The Law Of Yahuah The Father in Heaven. The Law are The Books: Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, & Deuteronomy). We must repent of our sins and Have Belief On Yahusha The Messiah. HE Died and Rose three days later so that we can be forgiven of our sins!
Come to HIM🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂
what the heck?
And two years later the UK voted to leave the EU....
....what the fuck?
This is maybe the stupidest thing I've seen in a while, at least purported as being amazing comedy. How can I look up good comedy and this pops up as one of the first few options? Am I a troll? I don't mean to be. I'm just legitimately angry
so- this joke miscaried the punchline, and i feel like it was still boring, during delivery.
I see a section of what you did there.
Is his wife a “trans woman”? Maybe this is what they meant when doctors agreed “trans women” (men in dresses) could give birth too?
Buy they really can't. No man no mattee how much he thinks or believes he is a woman can give birth.
this british humor is weird, no wonder america had to get the hell out of dodge way back when.
This an't comedy.
Bro this sketch sucks straight sphincter
Bad Comedy! Sorry.
Just not funny at all
