You know I had this one in my mind 2 days ago and you should do the band evelyn evelyn cause I haven't seen anyone do it at all plus you said no one did jack yet so you could do them
Just wanted to say here Oh klahomas isnt about one person being unsympathetic towards the other its the exact oposite. The narrator is clearly synpathetic towards the other person aka klahoma. "I get a little gray hair for every scare you share" "I hear your eyes and i see those cries i cant be the only one who hears you" The line pertaining to cloths and pictures the background lyrics being klahoma has repsonses. Klahoma isnt being forced. Its clear when you realize the narrator suggested to take a picture or two and klahoma offered to take two or three. So what does it really mean well in the context of the story klahoma is going to a party so what its really saying is "Go on and hand me your coat" " while you're there maybe get a picture or two" "I can see you" However the narrator wants to learn to be more popular on their own as they put their freind on rest so i can see you is the narrator coming to the party despite the others wishes the i can see you means the Now the seeing eachothers true selves part could be equally true but its most likely not malicous because klahkma isnt bothered by the requests. I bring it up because it misses the brilliance of what the song is about. The story is actyally about somebody wanting to be more popular and social then they actually are and they are attebding parties despite their social anxiety. The narrator feels responsible for the other person and its overwhelming for the narrator Narrators perspective: -"I hear those eyes and i see those cries i cant be the only one who hears you" -"I get a little grey hair for every scare you share" -"dont put me to rest" -"set the phasers to rot" -"what has got you distraut?" Klahomas perspective: -"its all about ascention i guess dont put me to rest" The narrator doesbt feel like klahoma is meabt for parties and would be taken advantage of. The song is about two freinds or possibly more with one feeling like they need to take care of the other to their own exhaustion and the other trying to become more popular but cant because they are to socislly anxious for parties.
I’d be so happy if you talked about “Getting my mom on” cuz like it’s just so innocent and fun with zero dark metaphors it’s just about Jack being a mom with tons of mom stereotypes
I think Ballad of Hamantha is about disability. The struggles that come with it. Something that's not talked about a lot but is definitely something that comes with being physically disabled: malpractice with a corpse. Many physically disabled people's bodies have been illegally preformed on due to their disability. I think that's what the "doctor taking a bite of her" means (yes I know this part was made before the rest of the song, but with the context of the song it makes sense). There's many physically deformed skeletons that have been called "aliens" or "monsters". I think that's why Jack stuaber chose something as silly as a ham- to reflect on the strangeness abled body/mind people see in disabled people. It's also how disabled people, especially after they've passed, are glorified. Stories of how disabled people took their own lives or were brutally murdered due to discrimination- you'll have people commenting about how "strong they must've been" I'm autistic. While I think this song mostly fits physical disabilities, it has ways of fitting mental disabilities. This song hits hard for me because of that. So, I thought I'd share my perspective Thanks for reading my insane ramblings.
Over thirty minutes. That's a LOT of work. It's nice to know this particular audience seems to be as kind and appreciative as any on RUclips. Congrats on this monumental achievement. No company. No team. No association. Just Daniel Profeta.
@@thatoneguy4468 It'll probably be awhile, I have a few other videos I'm working on first. But I intend to do Opal, in my eyes covering Mr. Stauber would be very incomplete without talking about his Magnum Opus
Dang I watched the intire thing and none of my time was wasted because this was a masterpiece with masterpieces with in it all of it was a masterpiece including your jack stuaber was good nice job
I think you might be pretty interested in "This house has people in it", the rabbit hole gets crazy deep the further you dive into it. Analysis on any of Ben O'brien's work would be cool :)
It's funny, we have nearly exact opposite interpretations of Oh Klahoma. I always saw it as a more supportive song, the lines about clothes and pictures being more metaphorical and about being vulnerable with each other. It opens with one friend expressing bad feelings with the set phasers to rot, then the other asking what's wrong, the bit at the beginning about "negative attention" and "call it norhing" was about the one person downplaying their own feelings, while the other tries to validate and support them telling them "Maybe it's something" essentially telling them that like, hey, maybe you *are* going through some shit, tell me about it. With the friend finally breaking and saying "It's all about ascension" (meaning death, potentially feeling suicidal). The chorus shows supportive friend encouraging them to talk about their feeling to which they respond "don't get me started", we further see supportive friend trying to be validating by telling them about the grey hairs, essentially saying their fears are valid and *are* scary, and that they see and hear them, and they can't be the only one. Other people understand what depressed friend is going through, they aren't alone. The "Those aren't meant to bend" back and forth is the supportive friend essentially pointing out directly "Things shouldn't be this way for you, you deserve better. You arent supposed to be in this much pain" and depressed friend repeating it back, taking in what supportive friend is saying, and the song ends on a hopeful note, with depressed friend finally sharing their fears. After saying "Don't get me started" again, they let go and share "I might die", they're scared they may actually hurt themself, and we see that supportive friend has at least managed to get through to them enough that they're willing to share openly and potentially get help. I will say, I do agree that the takeaway is ultimately "Get therapy"
All in all, I really like seeing the different ways people can interpret the same piece of art, Oh Klahoma is a very meaningful song to me too, so I have a lot of thoughts on it.
i absolutely love how you were able to make a great jack-like mini “film”. it was so awesome!! and you’re effort to actually go in depth in ways to perceive jacks work is so admirable
I’d love to hear someone talk about Sodikkken. Their work is absolutely amazing and their songs are really good. I feel like there’s some hidden lore or meaning or something.
The pumpkin one seemed like a representation of how strange things can seem nice and friendly at first but can turn on you so fast that you can’t see it hurting you
I really like the art style of Jack’s “work” video. They aren’t the most well-drawn things in the world, but they aren’t supposed to be. They remind me of doodles I’d put in my notebooks as a kid. It’s very charming.
After your previous video I went on a Jack Stauber binge, I'd seen his stuff before but never truly watched even a fraction of his works so I appreciate it! And also the hard work you put into these videos
Before the big reveal in opal I thought that maybe the bit was that she left her family because she didn’t realize how good she had it. But the whole house just being her brain telling her that she is in a dream was so surreal. And the fact the family wasn’t sweating cause they wanted her to stop looking but because they wanted her to stop thinking about real life
I got so excited when you were mentioning looking into other artists and Sodikken and Vewn came up!!! I adore their work and I would love to see someone make a video on sodikken, havent seen one yet :)
oh klahoma is a true masterpiece on its own, it perfectly represents a perfect meaning on toxicity that can bloom between people, especially when it's a forced relationship. true beauty.
I've been waiting for thisssss! Also I really liked your deep dive into cooking with abigail I never thought of it that way, to me the creepy dude was kind of symbolic and that she thought she liked cooking but her talent was really just pushed onto her by her father or someone who maybe failed in his career as a cook so he pushed his hopes dreams onto abigail instead.
Unique way to get his messages across. I believe that Jack definitely was writing about many of his personal experiences.Nice job on this video.Well worth the wait!
Really love the way you go into explaining these creepy and unsettling things! It's so fun to see such a nice and dedicated community to the uncanny side of the internet. (Also, p.s. "we are legion" (. ❛ ᴗ ❛.)
WOW! That was amazing! :D I can’t wait for the adult swim work analysation. I’m a huge fan of Jack’s work and his adult swim stuff is some or his best. OPAL and Shop: a pop opera are two of my favourite solo works of art of all time. Just mentioning them makes me want to ramble about their meaning. But I don’t wanna waste your time. Amazing video! Thanks for all the hard work. I cannot wait to see more :) (Killer music video by the way)
First i love the surprise at the end, it was so cool! My view of "now and then" i kinda like my BPD. Taking parts of other people because you don't have those of your own. The pain is the emptiness and the voices remind me of someone asking me "Do you like (insert hobby)" and even though i may not like it (the "i'm anxious" part), i say that i do. Of course this is based of my personal experience, but that's what i enjoy about Jack; there are so many different interpretations that can be specific to you. btw i love your videos, keep up the amazing work
I don't remember if you covered it or not, but I'd love it if you talked about "Dinner is not over", the song helped me so much and honestly might be one of my favorites
honestly these vids of yours make me feel like i finally have a pal to chat w about jack’s masterpieces and overall analyzing and appreciating all of it, so thank you for that lmao love your vids ! keep up w it all, it’s great [:
@@danielprofeta woop woop! The way you dig so deeply into things is dope and your ideas are some fun to grapple with. It’s hard to put this in a way that make sense but it’s like brain exercise😅
Bro seriously I just found you through the algorithm and your humor, editing, pretty much all about your videos are amazing and I love all about them. Thank you so much for letting us into the wonderful terrifying world of jack stauber! Keep up the good work
That song and video at the end was so uncanny, if I just heard that song without the music video (and therefore seeing jack not acting it out) I would have sworn jack wrote it, you emulated his style so well. Do you think you would go into the meanings and explanations of songs by the artist “Ghost and Pals”? Specifically their “Housewife Radio” song and video?
I just want to say I found your channel just today, but I fucking love your videis already. Your thoughtfulness, your consideration, your humor, and your appreciation. Thank you for all your work
Loving your content as a whole, and I wanted to make a suggestion for an artist that would be pretty nice to see covered, their name is GHOST and they make vocaloid songs. These are some of my favourites: Hyperdontia, Novacaine, Honey I'm home, The distortionist, Spider on the wall(Newer version) All of these songs are slightly disturbing, not in the way Jack's works are, but it is there in the most subtle way that you don't really notice until you realise what the lyrics are actually saying, except for Novacaine, it is just full force in your face showing you the distrubing elements on a silver platter.
I literally went “YES” when I read the words “The Ballad of Hamantha” because I hoped the whole video that you would talk about it. This song literally made me sadder than any other Jack Stauber song ever
I wanted to add for Now and Then, it was posted on new years eve. When the short came out definitely effects the meaning of it. the main creature we follow isn't removing some other creature's innards and stealing them, he's removing his own past self's baggage and choosing what to take with him into the new year.
Man this is great! Also excited that you said you may be doing a video on Vewn is something I'm really excited for!!! Keep up the amazing work, you can tell how much effort you put into making these, it's inspiring :)!
@@danielprofeta I appreciate you asking! I've loved making RUclips videos as a hobby since I was a kid, and would like to do it more. So when I created this account I wanted people to get at the very least the quality equivalency of 8 Cents worth of Jello, but hopefully more!
The video was fantastic man!! I specially love 'Now and then' because i always feel there is more to unpack. Like the way the bodie had had his chest already opened, implying that he took the heart and other things fron yet another past self
Bro this is an annoyingly good video , I'm definitely checking out the rest of your work. Also your own short-movie-music-video-idk was on point , even though you were trying to achieve something inspired-by it had its own sprinkle of originality , plus it was relatable. You should make a similar video on bo burnham !!
Hearing you talk about the artist Sodikken would be lovely! I love their work and yours. Hearing your opinions and interpretations would make my week!!
So, I'm a new subscriber that literally found your channel yesterday, and I'd like to say that I'm really happy I did! I'm really happy I was able to find a RUclipsr who actually talks about the kinds of things I'm interested in! Your videos are well made, the topics are wonderful, and your music is fantastic! Keep up the great work! And you have a new fan! (Also it would be really awesome if you could do a video on Tally Hall! They are an absolutely amazing indie band I think you'd really enjoy and also I would love to hear your takes on the meanings of thair songs! ^^)
I first thought upon watching this video that I had found a portal to madness. Then I realized that IT had found a portal to ME. It was a life-changing realization, as was the realization that the transition sound between segments of the video was the sound the transporter in Star Trek makes when people materialize. I checked to see if *I* had materialized. Thankfully, I hadn't. Btw, IMHO, Daniel Profeta is now one of the prime content makers on RUclips, and one of the sharpest, funniest, most insightful people in this benighted world, a world which is nothing much more than a clown car hurtling down the Interstate at 120 within three inches of the guardrail.
Someone's probably said it already (hell I've probably said it already while drunk) but the combination of your voice, your calm personality and your impressive hairdo gives me the overall vibe of 'Ash Williams from The Evil Dead but he's taken a decidedly more lax approach to the horror he's faced with' and I mean that in the best way possible. Your approach to scary stuff is positively groovy.
Shattered molars hits extra hard for me because of my constant intrusive thoughts. Also went to the hospital a month ago because a manic episode (one of which I have apparently been experiencing for years) got really bad, so the emotional disassociation and jumbled screaming mimic a manic episode so well I can barely watch it if I’m not in the optimal mood. Highly recommend (also good vid)
I know you didn't mention it, but I think the song "Dinner is not Over" is about someone using drugs, so much that he sees it as a dessert. Also the person he mentioned in the song is either the man/women's loved one, or wife/husband, worries that as the song says "You have the power to go any night."
Just found your channel and I really enjoyed these two videos on Jack. Can't wait for the third video! 👍 Shop! A pop opera is one of my favorites, the expired milk song stays in my head
1st of all: Your explaining Jack Stauber videos are the best I have seen 2nd: My favorite Jack Stauber song is 4.99 I would be really happy if you covered it!
hello :) i found this video and the other one again after floating around trying to find something to listen to and thought to leave a comment. I love jacks work as well and am really inspired by him and its nice to see someone else who talks about it on here. I'm currently writing a album and really feel as though the weirdness that jack brings is something i can try to bring into my work too. Have a nice day, and say hi to benny worm for me :D
i just discovered you yesterday from your first jack stauber video, and my god youre amazing ! your voice is so calming and you explain things so freaking well ! i think your depiction of a jack stauber song is beautiful and you did it so well. thank you for what you do :) and i cant wait to watch more videos ! :D
If you do another one of these you should look into It's Alright. It's one of my favourite Jack Stauber songs and I've heard its supposed to simulate what a panic attack/mental breakdown feels like. It's so good :)
I saw every single episode of moral Orel plus beforel Orel because I saw your video on it. It was a beautifully written show with a great soundtrack. Please make more videos on it! Also at 18:33 it was hilarious when it just cut to you in a cowboy hat, I burst out laughing when I saw that.
Yet another great video! I wanted to touch a little bit on "now and then". I've heard one theory I agree with saying that it's about the phrase "new year, new me", since the video was uploaded on new years eve. The theory states that the corpse (referred to once as "then" in the video) and the living character (presumably known as "now" due to the title) are the same character, and that Then is filled with aspects and experiences from that year, and Now is taking a few things with him that he wants to bring with him into the new year. He also remarks that the clock he's taking with him "didn't work very well", so maybe he's planning on getting it fixed, maybe to have better time management or keeping his sleep schedule on track. I also love Jack's representation of anxiety, a mass of nothing that fills your whole chest, or at least some of it.
When I first ran across Jack Stauber's work, I thought he was someone in his 40s. That he was in his early 20s at the time. Blew me away. This creature, this Jack, has unearthly talent and wisdom for one so young. Mind blown. I hope he's around to amazes us for years to come.
I love this little series so much! Jack stauber meant a lot to me when I was younger and helped me when I was going through hard times. I feel like after watching his content after a few years helped me mature and look at the world a lot differently. I loved hearing other peoples perspectives of his work :) Thanks Daniel!
You should try to do "Pleasentries" next! he has a lot of story there. I've known him for a couple years and i think it would be nice if someone analyzed all his hard work.
When you talked about disturbing dreams in the intro, or dreams that stick with you it literally made me remember all the dreams that have had things that stuck with me, thanks for that. 👍
Wow this is really great! Thank you for another video about Jack, it's always interesting and I love seeing how you see this videos and songs as well. If you do another video would you mind going over Dinner? It's been one of my favorite songs as of late, and I relate to it a lot. Anyways, thank you again for the amazing video. It's obvious you put a lot of effort into it :)
Dinner was originally in this script along with like four other tracks, but I ended up cutting it so I could finish the video on time. Maybe in part three:)
Ive been waiting for part 2 since part one im happy you ending up making this! Gg my man also i really like your music career i hope that goes well for you to
If you ever want to check out more of my music, I have a bandcamp page: danielprofeta.bandcamp.com/ Specifically, I'd recommend my most recent release. It's about 25 minutes long, and it's completely free. There's a pdf of short stories and art that goes with it, and everything fits together. Anyways, now that I've self promoted my work here is done. Thanks for watching my friend, see you around:)
Glad I subscribed, this some premo eating. Edit: my suggestion for content is “they might be giants”, they hit every single time and have that jack stauber feel but 30 years early.
Blue canary in the outlet by the light switch Who watches over you Make a little birdhouse in your soul Not to put too fine a point on it Say I'm the only bee in your bonnet Make a little birdhouse in your soul
this video was incredible. I loved the jack stauber inspired vid at the end especially was really well done n beautiful, I could come up w so many interpretations of it. Keep doing what u do, can’t wait for what u talk about next ❤️
Your song/video emulating his style was so so good!!!! You did an awesome job channeling his "singing in cursive" style and creating a song that i would 100% think was written by him. Super fun video, thank you for making it!!

Just wanted to say here
Oh klahomas isnt about one person being unsympathetic towards the other its the exact oposite.
The narrator is clearly synpathetic towards the other person aka klahoma.

So what does it really mean well in the context of the story klahoma is going to a party so what its really saying is
"Go on and hand me your coat"
" while you're there maybe get a picture or two"
"I can see you"
However the narrator wants to learn to be more popular on their own as they put their freind on rest so i can see you is the narrator coming to the party despite the others wishes
the i can see you means the
Now the seeing eachothers true selves part could be equally true but its most likely not malicous because klahkma isnt bothered by the requests.
I bring it up because it misses the brilliance of what the song is about.
The story is actyally about somebody wanting to be more popular and social then they actually are and they are attebding parties despite their social anxiety. The narrator feels responsible for the other person and its overwhelming for the narrator
Narrators perspective:
-"I hear those eyes and i see those cries i cant be the only one who hears you"
-"I get a little grey hair for every scare you share"
-"dont put me to rest"
-"set the phasers to rot"
-"what has got you distraut?"
Klahomas perspective:
-"its all about ascention i guess dont put me to rest"
The narrator doesbt feel like klahoma is meabt for parties and would be taken advantage of.
The song is about two freinds or possibly more with one feeling like they need to take care of the other to their own exhaustion and the other trying to become more popular but cant because they are to socislly anxious for parties.

I’d love to hear someone talk about Sodikkken. Their work is absolutely amazing and their songs are really good. I feel like there’s some hidden lore or meaning or something.
Hansel is pretty explicitly about a kid dying trying to get attention
There's also People Eater and Misery Meat, 2 sides of one coin, the first one about an abuser, the second about the abused.
Yeah! Their music gives off the same weirdcore vibes Jack Stauber can give off.
The pumpkin one seemed like a representation of how strange things can seem nice and friendly at first but can turn on you so fast that you can’t see it hurting you

yeah, the community here is absolutely incredible.
WOW! That was amazing! :D
I can’t wait for the adult swim work analysation. I’m a huge fan of Jack’s work and his adult swim stuff is some or his best. OPAL and Shop: a pop opera are two of my favourite solo works of art of all time. Just mentioning them makes me want to ramble about their meaning. But I don’t wanna waste your time. Amazing video! Thanks for all the hard work. I cannot wait to see more :)
(Killer music video by the way)
Dude the end literally was as good as a jack stauber song
The way you nailed Jack’s style is genuinely uncanny. Keep up the good work, you just earned a sub.
Welcome aboard!
@@danielprofeta :D
First i love the surprise at the end, it was so cool! My view of "now and then" i kinda like my BPD. Taking parts of other people because you don't have those of your own. The pain is the emptiness and the voices remind me of someone asking me "Do you like (insert hobby)" and even though i may not like it (the "i'm anxious" part), i say that i do. Of course this is based of my personal experience, but that's what i enjoy about Jack; there are so many different interpretations that can be specific to you. btw i love your videos, keep up the amazing work
Thank you so much for sharing how the song relates to you personally, and thanks for watching
I don't remember if you covered it or not, but I'd love it if you talked about "Dinner is not over", the song helped me so much and honestly might be one of my favorites
That will probably be in part 3
God, thank you i already know this will be a masterpiece.
everything i make is a masterpiece, i am becoming invincible.
thanks for watching!!:)
honestly these vids of yours make me feel like i finally have a pal to chat w about jack’s masterpieces and overall analyzing and appreciating all of it, so thank you for that lmao
love your vids ! keep up w it all, it’s great [:
I’m still new to the channel but I have returned for pt two and so far you have not disappointed! Love your comedy 🦦🥤
Welcome back, more to come. I just finished scripting a video on that new experimental horror movie Skinamarink, it'll be next.
@@danielprofeta woop woop! The way you dig so deeply into things is dope and your ideas are some fun to grapple with. It’s hard to put this in a way that make sense but it’s like brain exercise😅
Bro seriously I just found you through the algorithm and your humor, editing, pretty much all about your videos are amazing and I love all about them. Thank you so much for letting us into the wonderful terrifying world of jack stauber! Keep up the good work
Thank you for watching my friend, we are legion.
Thank you for blessing us (this video is boutta blow up)
My pleasure, welcome back!!
That song and video at the end was so uncanny, if I just heard that song without the music video (and therefore seeing jack not acting it out) I would have sworn jack wrote it, you emulated his style so well.
Do you think you would go into the meanings and explanations of songs by the artist “Ghost and Pals”? Specifically their “Housewife Radio” song and video?
7:02
I was not ready to witness hate crimes against pumpkins but ok.
Was it a hate crime if the pumpkin made my teeth fall out first?
@@danielprofeta to my knowledge that was an innocent pumpkin.
If it did do that than sure but it didn't even have a face.
I just want to say I found your channel just today, but I fucking love your videis already. Your thoughtfulness, your consideration, your humor, and your appreciation. Thank you for all your work
Loving your content as a whole, and I wanted to make a suggestion for an artist that would be pretty nice to see covered, their name is GHOST and they make vocaloid songs.
These are some of my favourites:
Hyperdontia, Novacaine, Honey I'm home, The distortionist, Spider on the wall(Newer version)
All of these songs are slightly disturbing, not in the way Jack's works are, but it is there in the most subtle way that you don't really notice until you realise what the lyrics are actually saying, except for Novacaine, it is just full force in your face showing you the distrubing elements on a silver platter.
Holy moly that was so flipping good! And the special end. MWAH!! Beautiful Picasso 👌
:) Glad you enjoyed it!! (y'all are being super nice, I appreciate it)
I’m so excited that this series is back!
The series is excited you are back tbh
the line "today i forgot to keep myself alive" gives me goosebumps
I literally went “YES” when I read the words “The Ballad of Hamantha” because I hoped the whole video that you would talk about it. This song literally made me sadder than any other Jack Stauber song ever
I wanted to add for Now and Then, it was posted on new years eve. When the short came out definitely effects the meaning of it. the main creature we follow isn't removing some other creature's innards and stealing them, he's removing his own past self's baggage and choosing what to take with him into the new year.
Man this is great! Also excited that you said you may be doing a video on Vewn is something I'm really excited for!!! Keep up the amazing work, you can tell how much effort you put into making these, it's inspiring :)!
Thanks for watching 8 cent jello. What was the inspiration behind that username of yours?
@@danielprofeta I appreciate you asking! I've loved making RUclips videos as a hobby since I was a kid, and would like to do it more. So when I created this account I wanted people to get at the very least the quality equivalency of 8 Cents worth of Jello, but hopefully more!
@@8centjello636 Greatest origin story I've ever heard
@@danielprofeta Why thank you sir, I wish thee a grand day, can't wait to see what other content you put out
The video was fantastic man!! I specially love 'Now and then' because i always feel there is more to unpack. Like the way the bodie had had his chest already opened, implying that he took the heart and other things fron yet another past self
Bro this is an annoyingly good video , I'm definitely checking out the rest of your work. Also your own short-movie-music-video-idk was on point , even though you were trying to achieve something inspired-by it had its own sprinkle of originality , plus it was relatable. You should make a similar video on bo burnham !!
ruclips.net/video/6U9BHwxj3eI/видео.html
Not exactly what you asked, but Daniel has covered him!
Hearing you talk about the artist Sodikken would be lovely! I love their work and yours. Hearing your opinions and interpretations would make my week!!
I greatly appreciate the support, I do have a video on Sodikken in the works:)
this has been one of my most awaited 2nd videos in awhile
Did it live up to your dreams?
That song was so close to Jack stauber and I would personally like to know where I could find it
So, I'm a new subscriber that literally found your channel yesterday, and I'd like to say that I'm really happy I did! I'm really happy I was able to find a RUclipsr who actually talks about the kinds of things I'm interested in! Your videos are well made, the topics are wonderful, and your music is fantastic! Keep up the great work! And you have a new fan! (Also it would be really awesome if you could do a video on Tally Hall! They are an absolutely amazing indie band I think you'd really enjoy and also I would love to hear your takes on the meanings of thair songs! ^^)
you have a sense of humor that reminds me a lot of many popular commentary youtubers. and tbh I'm into it! ur def worthy of a subscribe
I am incredibly derivative so that makes sense haha:)
Welcome to the channel, hope to see you around. Stay safe, stay sane.
I first thought upon watching this video that I had found a portal to madness. Then I realized that IT had found a portal to ME. It was a life-changing realization, as was the realization that the transition sound between segments of the video was the sound the transporter in Star Trek makes when people materialize. I checked to see if *I* had materialized. Thankfully, I hadn't. Btw, IMHO, Daniel Profeta is now one of the prime content makers on RUclips, and one of the sharpest, funniest, most insightful people in this benighted world, a world which is nothing much more than a clown car hurtling down the Interstate at 120 within three inches of the guardrail.
Ever since the first video about Jack, I kept checking this channel to see if the second one came out. I have been blessed with over 30 minutes.
The jack gods possessed me and I was forced to make part 2. Not that I'm complaining:)
@@danielprofetathe Jack gods are the best gods
Someone's probably said it already (hell I've probably said it already while drunk) but the combination of your voice, your calm personality and your impressive hairdo gives me the overall vibe of 'Ash Williams from The Evil Dead but he's taken a decidedly more lax approach to the horror he's faced with' and I mean that in the best way possible. Your approach to scary stuff is positively groovy.
I’m literally so excited for you to do Sodikken. They have been my favorite musician for a while now.
Shattered molars hits extra hard for me because of my constant intrusive thoughts. Also went to the hospital a month ago because a manic episode (one of which I have apparently been experiencing for years) got really bad, so the emotional disassociation and jumbled screaming mimic a manic episode so well I can barely watch it if I’m not in the optimal mood. Highly recommend (also good vid)
Congrats on 21K subs! Not quite 30K but…. Onward and upward. When you make it to the stars you’re gonna tear them down. ⭐️
If these last few videos are any indication, we'll get there.
Love the reference:)
I know you didn't mention it, but I think the song "Dinner is not Over" is about someone using drugs, so much that he sees it as a dessert. Also the person he mentioned in the song is either the man/women's loved one, or wife/husband, worries that as the song says "You have the power to go any night."
My personal interpretation of dinner is not over is totally different haha
Haha. Well hey we all have different opinions. Also I recently watched the music video, and I could be wrong.
Well hey, keep doing what your doing. And hey, maybe check out "There's something happening" by Jack himself.
This is by far my all time favorite vid of yours so far! Especially that tribute at the end!💖💖💖👍👍👍
the production on that song is actually so good omg
Thanks, did it all myself. I have 3 albums of original musicyou can find here on youtube and on bandcamp if you want
We are legion
(Love this btw and thanks for including Hamantha it’s my favourite
One of my favorites too
Thanks for watching my friend
@@danielprofeta honour and privilege
The entire video was amazing, especially the ending! The editing was great and I think you totally captured Jack’s style. Keep up the good work
Glad you enjoyed it my friend, thanks for watching:)
i'm absolutely hyped about you making a video on Sodiken!!!
Just found your channel and I really enjoyed these two videos on Jack. Can't wait for the third video! 👍
Shop! A pop opera is one of my favorites, the expired milk song stays in my head
I just came for the part 1 and i can say that your content is awesome :)
1st of all: Your explaining Jack Stauber videos are the best I have seen
2nd: My favorite Jack Stauber song is 4.99 I would be really happy if you covered it!
Makes me feel so-
@daniel profeta
wait you actually saw my comment-
im so happy
@@YourAverageFan663 thanks for watching my friend:)
@daniel profeta
no problem just watching what i like to watch!
hello :) i found this video and the other one again after floating around trying to find something to listen to and thought to leave a comment. I love jacks work as well and am really inspired by him and its nice to see someone else who talks about it on here. I'm currently writing a album and really feel as though the weirdness that jack brings is something i can try to bring into my work too. Have a nice day, and say hi to benny worm for me :D
I want to hear your album when it comes out!!
you should totally post the Stauberfied song you made separately, or on a streaming service or something! its so cool! :D
The first jack stauber video was the first video I saw from this channel, love the vibes/community here!
You are now part of the community, and you can never escape. Welcome aboard:)
@@danielprofeta Much appreciated!
i just discovered you yesterday from your first jack stauber video, and my god youre amazing ! your voice is so calming and you explain things so freaking well ! i think your depiction of a jack stauber song is beautiful and you did it so well. thank you for what you do :) and i cant wait to watch more videos ! :D
Very cool video at the end! You emulated his style really well, but at the same time made it your own. Keep up the good work!
Thanks for watching
If you do another one of these you should look into It's Alright. It's one of my favourite Jack Stauber songs and I've heard its supposed to simulate what a panic attack/mental breakdown feels like. It's so good :)
I saw every single episode of moral Orel plus beforel Orel because I saw your video on it. It was a beautifully written show with a great soundtrack. Please make more videos on it! Also at 18:33 it was hilarious when it just cut to you in a cowboy hat, I burst out laughing when I saw that.
Aw hell yeah, if I can introduce one new person to the stuff I talk about I generally consider it a successful video
Been waiting for this vid. Thanks for sharing all the effort you put into this!!! You made my day man.
The end tho that looks like it took so much work it’s so cool I love it
Only the best for the crazy people in my computer
Yet another great video!
I wanted to touch a little bit on "now and then". I've heard one theory I agree with saying that it's about the phrase "new year, new me", since the video was uploaded on new years eve. The theory states that the corpse (referred to once as "then" in the video) and the living character (presumably known as "now" due to the title) are the same character, and that Then is filled with aspects and experiences from that year, and Now is taking a few things with him that he wants to bring with him into the new year. He also remarks that the clock he's taking with him "didn't work very well", so maybe he's planning on getting it fixed, maybe to have better time management or keeping his sleep schedule on track. I also love Jack's representation of anxiety, a mass of nothing that fills your whole chest, or at least some of it.
Yeah, the anxiety representation was greatly appreciated when I first watched that video
When I first ran across Jack Stauber's work, I thought he was someone in his 40s. That he was in his early 20s at the time. Blew me away. This creature, this Jack, has unearthly talent and wisdom for one so young. Mind blown.
I hope he's around to amazes us for years to come.
im litterally obsessed with these videos bro you don't even know
Well, if it's any consolation, this comment literally made my day
Your little bit at the end almost made me think I was actually watching a Jack Stauber video, lol. That was awesome!
:) hell yes
I love this little series so much! Jack stauber meant a lot to me when I was younger and helped me when I was going through hard times. I feel like after watching his content after a few years helped me mature and look at the world a lot differently. I loved hearing other peoples perspectives of his work :) Thanks Daniel!
You should try to do "Pleasentries" next! he has a lot of story there. I've known him for a couple years and i think it would be nice if someone analyzed all his hard work.
I love Pleasentries sm
please upload the end part as a song it is amazing
Thank you!!:)
I would love it if you added that song at the end to Apple Music, it was so amazing!!!
I might, I have no idea how but I'll look into it
Thanks for the support, glad you enjoyed the video!!
When you talked about disturbing dreams in the intro, or dreams that stick with you it literally made me remember all the dreams that have had things that stuck with me, thanks for that. 👍
that ending bit was relatable, also very nice !
Thank you, I love relatability.
Holy crap your video and song at the end was amazing!
Thank you:)
Wow this is really great! Thank you for another video about Jack, it's always interesting and I love seeing how you see this videos and songs as well. If you do another video would you mind going over Dinner? It's been one of my favorite songs as of late, and I relate to it a lot. Anyways, thank you again for the amazing video. It's obvious you put a lot of effort into it :)
Dinner was originally in this script along with like four other tracks, but I ended up cutting it so I could finish the video on time. Maybe in part three:)
Thank you, I found your channel after the first one, barely a minute in and very excited!
Welcome back:)
Ive been waiting for part 2 since part one im happy you ending up making this! Gg my man also i really like your music career i hope that goes well for you to
If you ever want to check out more of my music, I have a bandcamp page: danielprofeta.bandcamp.com/
Specifically, I'd recommend my most recent release. It's about 25 minutes long, and it's completely free. There's a pdf of short stories and art that goes with it, and everything fits together.
Anyways, now that I've self promoted my work here is done. Thanks for watching my friend, see you around:)
OUGHHH that ending bit where you replicated his style was SPOT ON! i really loved it, especially that stop motion-y stuff lmao. banger vid as always
I wonder what cinnamon flavored bees taste like? Think they sting or?
@@danielprofeta probably! reminds me of that one time my dog was sniffing a dead bee and licked it stinger first and stung herself. she's very dumb
Is it just me or is Jack Staubers music is sort of comforting in a weird way
Its so uncomfortable its comfortable.
ok but ur recreation of jack is absolutely amazing, and well done! the animation, and the beat. you did it perfectly!!! im so amazed how you did it!!
OML I JUST FINISHED THE VIDEO AND THE ENDING IS MAGNIFICENT
Hell yeah!!
Glad I subscribed, this some premo eating.
Edit: my suggestion for content is “they might be giants”, they hit every single time and have that jack stauber feel but 30 years early.
Blue canary in the outlet by the light switch

this video was incredible. I loved the jack stauber inspired vid at the end especially was really well done n beautiful, I could come up w so many interpretations of it. Keep doing what u do, can’t wait for what u talk about next ❤️
I'd love to hear your interpretations of my jack stauber video sometime
Thank you so much for watching, I'm making a video about Skinamarink next
Your song/video emulating his style was so so good!!!! You did an awesome job channeling his "singing in cursive" style and creating a song that i would 100% think was written by him. Super fun video, thank you for making it!!
this video- and the previous- were both amazing!! If you did this again it would be really cool if you included Estranger or Two Time :]]
Two Time is so damn good haha
@@danielprofeta it really is!
