Give us all 12 verses, Brian. Don’t be a coward.
You'll get it through context.
I WANT THIS PLEASE GIVE THEM TO ME
You're playing with some dangerous magic there. We wouldn't be able to handle the power of the hurdy gurdy for twelve verses.
@@vigilantcosmicpenguin8721 it's the only way i'd want to die

I WANT ALL 12 VERSES
i need it, I'm a sucker for hurdy gurdy and Brian's voice over it is mystical!
The people have spoken.
Yes please
PLEASE BRIAN I'M BEGGING YOU
So the PC was exchanged for the hurdy gurdy, but the knowledge of how to play it was exchanged for Brian's knowledge of what a computer is.
No I think Brian just was born knowing how to play this obscure medieval instrument
@@blue_leader_5756 Makes sense.
@@blue_leader_5756 I think Brian was born with the ability to play any obscure instrument
People pointed out a Chromebook is not nearly expensive enough to be a worthy exchange for a hurdy gurdy so I think the wizard, finding the book made of chrome unsatisfactory also took this knowledge of laptops as additional payment
@@idontneedaname318 I see you watched that one analysis video
My favorite detail in this video is when the two start harmonizing at the end, Karen singing the story alongside Brian. When she sings about the things Brian did with the wizard, she speaks in the second or third person, while Brian speaks in first person ("he/I granted the wizard", "it pained you/me to part"). But when addressing the laptop itself using possessive pronouns, they BOTH say "With a flourish he vanished along with *my* tome", conveying that Brian wants to paint this as his dramatic, tragic trade of a dear personal affect, while Karen wants to remind us that he totally just snatched and sold off her laptop without any sort of permission.
I love this interpretation!!
This is fucking great, thank you
I didn't even notice this until watching it like 20 times in. That's such a good detail.
But Karen doesn't have a laptop

@@galaxypedestalfan everything is connected
This is the 1st/only video of this guy I've seen so far, so I'm very much lost in the woods (tho still enjoying it all!). That said, after reading the op i felt the urge to add: one might even say, he's a bird watcher...
“I impulse bought this hurdy gurdy and now I have to justify this purchase” is written all over this video.
Wells Thompson that hurdy gurdy is also like 1200 dollars to be fair lmao
Same vibe as Gus Johnson’s tax write off video
Sounds like he “killed 2 birds with one stone” by making a video and also justifying his impulse buy

Major props to her, she actually did get it through context
I gave you a like but i feel like you deserve a comment also,
She’s used to things like this by now.
i think she also picked up on the "chrome book" joke
Keep in mind, wikipedia is fully aware of this video, and has had to take measures to keep bdg off their list of hurdy gurdy musicians, PURELY because this entire fanbase added him so much
cant find a record of that, have the archives been cleaned?
@@Susul-lj2wm did you add him in? I tried to look too but I gave up because he was there already lol.
which is frankly ridiculous, he demonstrated that he can play the hurdy gurdy, therefore he is a hurdy gurdy musician
@@korumann Out of ALL the instruments, you'd think that the *_Hurdy god damn gurdy community_* would be in the situation least conducive to gate-keeping. I don't have current hurdy gurdy production numbers on hand, but I feel pretty confident saying that they can't really afford to not include anyone 😂
@@lindmorn5909 It is more a matter of the guidelines regarding who is to be included in Wikipedia articles. If you haven´t got a pressence in mainline media, you cannot be allowed in.
This was so unrealistic. How am I expected to believe that a chromebook is of commensurate or greater value than the suggested retail price of a hurdy gurdy?
Okay, but like, in medieval times? Laptops would be priceless, as no one would want to buy something that's be useless to them I so see your point
maybe it was a macbook but because he doesn't know what a laptop is he can't tell the difference
He literally said a book forged in chrome lol I love this.

Brian: It's a long story
Karen: That's fine
Karen: *visibly realizes it's not fine*
It’s like the second the words “that’s fine” leave her mouth she immediately realizes it was a bad idea. You can SEE it!
it's my favorite moment!!!
Come gather round and I'll tell you a tale!
A tale of a night very much like the one tonight.
The rain pelted cruelly,
the wind tore my hood,
as I ran through the wood to my homestead.
When I saw in the clearing,
a figure was stood,
beckoning as if I were awaited.
He was dressed like a pauper,
his beard was a mess.
And he stood 'hind a chair in the grove.
In front was a table
with black velvet dress,
in which an intricate pattern was wove.
On the near side, the table
had one other chair,
pulled away as if I were to sit.
The figure was waiting,
he waved at the air,
and a mystical runage was writ.
Said the runage, "I wait
for the one who would trade
what he loves for what he may yet earn."
But as soon as I read it,
the runage had fade,
and its meaning I yet had to learn.
I was late for my supper,
the food would be good,
so I tried to ignore the one there.
For I thought he'd ignore me,
but he never would.
So he gestured toward his second chair.
"What you wish," quoth the wizard,
by what runage had said,
"Is a method to tell of your life!
Tell of gladness, of sorrow,
of your unbought bed!
And you never again will know strife."
"That I do," I then offered
as yet my first cry,
"And I've fruitlessly sought one before.
You must know of the videos
I made." His reply:
"On the 'Polygon' channel of yore."
"A solution have I,"
said the wizard of fate,
as he pulled back the velvet sheet.
"You must write down a song,
which you'll then orchestrate
with a verse structure that you repeat."
And there on the table,
an instrument lay,
one that had such a gift to give!
And I knew I must have it
'fore I went my way
were I ever to truly live.
Then he looked at my knapsack,
asked what it contained,
and I pulled out a metal scroll.
When the wizard had seen it,
his face became pained.
It was clear I would soon pay a toll.
"Now you know," said the wizard,
"What price you must pay
to gain the reward you seek!
You must trade me a treasure
that's of commensurate or greater value than the suggested retail price
of this mystical, ancient antique."
So I granted the wizard
a book forged in chrome,
though it pained me to part, and regret filled my mind.
With a flourish, he vanished
along with my tome
leaving naught but this hurdy behind.
Leaving naught but this gurdy behind.
I love this
It's a shame that no one seems to have made a video of themselves singing this yet...
I am commenting here because I want too hear the full song 🎵
Ahh I want to hear this so much…
gotta tab it on an instrument first, this looks fun to play
Karen is brilliant in the role of "sane person trying to live with BDG."
She’s a method actor.
I think she doesn't know she's being recorded
And then RAPIDLY NOT SANE.
@@samakafrisco1759 I mean, she bounces back pretty well at the end.
Sane, but not for long.
the old man didn't take the laptop, he took Brian's knowledge of laptops. Because Brian forgot what a laptop is, he just left the odd dinner tray at the restaurant.
Thats also why he didnt sing the 11th verse, it had the laptop mentioned so he forgot it.
The old man is an archfey, taking bryan's conceptual understanding of a laptop
And so the finger on the monkey's paw curled...

@@starfakename9293 AAAHAHAHAHAHAHAH OMG AWWW THATS SO CUTE AWWW
I'm invested in the idea of getting random updates on how this small human is enchanted by a random musical joke video
I have yet to see a comment talking about Brian's and Karen's beautiful control and tone? And im here to remedy that.
Brian's perfect vibrato matching the tamber to the Hurdy Gurdy, and not to mention his ability to switch between voices from literally Waluigi to his former clear tone. Then Karen coming in with her soft, operatic, rich soprano singing frankly difficult intervals, and ending on a lovely Picardy Third. Musical genius at work, with both of them.
Yes, I also loved the Picardy Third! And I concur, the singing is spectacular!
I WAS WAITING FOR SOMEONE TO COMMENT ABOUT THE WIZARD JUST BEING WALUIGI
Me no understand music theory. But singing sound good 😀👍
If you want to be even more impressed, look up their band, Let's Make a Music
And the most beautiful thing is that they are really used to singing together so when they sing they truly make music
Is literally no one going to realize he didn't just trade a laptop to the wizard, Brian also traded his whole understanding of laptops? This is why you never bargain with faerie forest wizards for durable musical goods, its never worth the trade.
What do you mean not worth it? Who cares what a laptop is if you have a dandy hurdy gurdy
I mean that’s a sweet Hurdy Gurdy
nah it’s definitely worth it
He lost the knowledge of Laptops and we got this song which is of much greater value.
No, it is. I mean, you forget what a laptop is, but when it is open, it's no longer a laptop in the eyes of one who lacks that knowledge. It is now an "all-in-one mini desktop". And therefore, the wizard stole nothing, gimme the Hurdy Gurdy!
Deep lore: he sold the wizard not only the laptop, but his knowledge of the concept of a laptop
Hence why Brian is so confused, and refers to the laptop as “A book forged in chrome”
-Either that or it’s actually just a chromebook and he described it like that so the song sounded good-
Maybe he traded the wizard his knowledge of laptops for the knowledge of how to play a Hurdy Gurdy?
The Wizard was a fae
Forged, not dipped :)
Inb4 this was an abstract and subtle ad for the Chromebook.
@@SofosProject *DO YOU WANT TO WATCH NETFLIX OFFLINE?!*
He didn't "pawn it off", he "bequeathed it to a wizard". There's a big difference.
... sure, the wizard worked at a pawn shop, but the location was mere circumstance!

oh my god they've been trying to tell us about how much they like watching birds for the last 8 months. both of Brian's monitors were a sign
I love the face inflection when Karen says, “That’s fine,” to the long story and immediately regrets it when she begins to hear music

It's a gay thing 🤷♂️
Omer Siddiqui is he gay?
Casey Dupont no but yes
“Oh you WOULD pull some horse piss like this”
@@TheKingsPride I knew he was gonna do this from the moment I got out of bed today. Typical BDG, I'm not surprised.
I've got a theory!
First, in 0:50 he says he HAS to sing the song, meaning there is a reason why he _HAS_ to sing it.
Second, later when he skips to verse 11, she also joins the song. A flute is summoned and she knows how to play the song, as if she is under an enchantement.
Then later at 1:48, we see her dissapear and we start seeing visuals of what happened.
My theory is, brian is casting magic with the hurdy gurdy. The song is magical and its enchantement gets stronger each verse, until the spell is completed.
In this case, he wanted to tell her what happened, but there's no way she would have believed him unless if he _showed_ her what happened. So he HAD to sing a song _BECAUSE_ the song is a memory spell. What we see at 1:50 IS THEM SHARING MEMORIES.
She starts singing along with brian and she relives his memories (the enchantment gets stronger, the spell is complete).
This could also be the same exact method the wizard used to enchant brian into trading the laptop.
So, brian didn't learn how play a hurdy gurdy from the wizard, he learned how to cast magic, and this song is a spell.
He traded the laptop for a gurdy, and he traded the knowledge of knowing what a laptop is for the knowledge of knowing how to cast spells.
We also see brian transform into the wizard, further strengthening my theory that he _is_ currently casting magic by playing the hurdy gurdy.
When the song finishes, everything turns back to normal (the clothes change back to the way they were, the filter is lifted, the gurdy and flute dissapear) because the spell ended.
EXCEPT, she only gets half the story (she knows he traded the laptop for a gurdy but not the knowledge part) because he skipped half of the spell.
TLDR: Brian is a wizard!
This is GOOD SHIT

Brian having a Hurdy Gurdy is both surprising and entirely not surprising.
Bro they're so fucking expensive it's no wonder he showed it off with a new vid as soon as he got it lmao

I have now accepted this as absolute FACT.
headcanon accepted
@@uc3113 It's probably not headcanon even, Brian gave us clues that it might be actual canon.
This comment is like those memes “I watch ____ for the plot” in the best way possible lol
I like the detail that he was looking at birds. You know, because he's divinely obligated to do so
I'm convinced by that fact that all of these videos are part of some interconnected lore and for the past year every since "we like watching birds" came out I've dedicated my life's studies to piecing together the story these videos tell.
during the last verse when karen joins in, she starts singing with brian but replaces all the “i”s and “me”s with “your” and “you”, but she still sings “my tome” which is probably one of my favorite parts of the song
"Okay I think I see where this is going"
* Brian pulls out Hurdy Gurdy *
"...I spoke too soon."
i thought it was gonna be a new shoes sequel ndjdndjdjdjd
The wizard voice is hilarious, but _singing_ in the wizard voice is really freaking impressive, since it completely changes the tone of your voice.
When he switched to the voice and kept singing I lost it.
Mathieu P i was drinking some soda and i spat it out everywhere

So the wizard didn't only take the laptop but he did also take Brian's knowledge of what a laptop is.
But he gave him the knowledge how to play the Hurdy Gurdy, maybe anyway. Either that, or BDG just never knew what a laptop was, which also makes since I suppose...
@@EvelynFTTE "I'm a video producer and even I don't know what that is" "...it's a laptop" "is it??"

Are they separate images or just a google search of "birds"?
I'm sure that'll be relevant to some big-brained Unraveled episode in 6 years.

My favorite (probably unintended) thing about this video is how when Brian is holding the hurdy gurdy around 2:14 it green screens itself and kinda merges with the background. Very mystical
Okay, but did you hear that wizard voice? Brian why did you give up on being cast as Waluigi, you're perfect for it
Who said he ever gave up.Doug was just too scared of how perfect of a fit he was for the role

I love how, when Karen asks Brian to tell her the story of where her laptop went and musical instrumentation immediately starts, her reaction is not confusion but rather exasperation, as if to say "goddammit not again"
the only reason he made this video is to show us that he now owns a hurdy gurdy
My thoughts exactly
That and the tax write off he can get for using it in a video
@@samspin429 wrong video, my friend
@Sam Spin, he learned from the best:
ruclips.net/video/xg8qDPGeFMU/видео.html
Gus Johnson taught us that tax evasion trick
Karen: Where's my laptop?
Brian: It's a long story
Karen: I have time.
Brian: *starts singing*
Karen: i no longer have time.
@@tyoda Almost... but not quite inappropriate
@@tyoda And promptly shoving it all down his back before he gets to verse 2, if Karen wishes for a straighter answer for her laptop
Me: I am swamped with work and have no time for youtube
Brian: *starts singing*
Me: I now have time.
A tiny detail I just noticed: When Karen joins in with the singing, she still refers to Brian in the second person: "Though it pained you to part, and regret filled your mind"
However, when the wizard vanishes, she uses the first person: "With a flourish he vanished along with MY tome"
She knew all along.
I mean, it was her tome, though.
The fact he got a hurdy gurdy, learned how to play it, and made song with it shows the pure commitment he has.
My Chromebook's new device name is absolutely "A-Book-Forged-in-Chrome'
I honestly think that google shouldve released the Chromebook under the name Chrometome, but they wont respond to my emails so who knows.
I would definitely buy that over a Chromebook
I love it
why not "A-Tome-Forged-in-Chrome" tho?
ok but hot take: brian traded TWO things.
1: he traded the ability to remember what a laptop is for the knowledge of how to get a hurdy-gurdy (this happened in verse 10)
2: he traded the weird metal book for the gurdy (verse 12)
Amazing
"This happened in verse 10" :D I love BDG comments sections.
...which makes this video the deepest of Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles deep lore cuts ever?
I think he was so traumatized by the event he refused to remember what a laptop is
I thought the "book forged in chrome" was an actual chromebook like the computer
I like how she didn’t question him forgetting what a laptop is.
Winter King when Simon asks him how he overcame the crown's curse
How proud of yourself were you when you realized "book forged in chrome" rhymed with "tome"
Probably as proud as he was when he realised he can use "hood" instead of "hoodie" and it would rhyme with "stood"
Bruh it took me 3 listenings to realise a book forged in chrome ment a chromebook and I own one
@@AlexWaff hood and hoodie aren't the same thing bruh
@@erentoraman2663 yes they are
@@thatowenperson7745 no
karen's harmonies are *chefs kiss*, she's so good. also when brian says "tonight" and she turns to look @ the window streaming in daylight lmao. incredible
Yes, I love how that window joke didn't even have to be explained. Kudos to Brian for not treating us like idiots.

i need to hear the full uncut song
I love that he never acknowledges what a laptop is and even refers to it as a "tome" or "book" in the song
i've never wanted a hurdy gurdy till now, i'll need to get a laptop first though
You'll have to sell your what? I don't know what that is
powerful beings were summoned through the medium of this video
Oh hey ross
I've wanted one ever since I played Sea of Thieves
Cant wait for the next eclipse run where Ross just sits before Mithrix and whips out a hurdy gurdy and sings us a tale of how the goodest boi chomped down god
The fact that Brain also knows how to play a hurdy gurdy makes him at least 30% cooler
The problem is that Brian is already like 200% on the coolness scale. So these continued revelations keep just breaking past what is possible.
@@davidfarnham5623
Every one said it was impossible.
Then some one did it.
Brian is like a person with a coolness scale of 1, but has gamed the percentage modifiers so much that now theres an integer overload.
@@vanessaasman8047 Oh yeah, he definitely pulled a real life counter-underrun exploit... did so many uncool things so fantastically that shit wrapped back around
don't wanna be that guy but he was only playing the drone which is just turning the crank. The song was badass though so that makes up for the lost %
“That’s fine-” *instant regret*
The images of birds on Brian‘s computer at the beginning of this video forshadow that he and Karen like watching birds
This is so Brian can write-off his hurdy gurdy purchase as a work expense, right?
Undoubtedly
Oh for sure
Gus Johnson reference?
This is big brain time
Without question
The prodigal son has returned to his homeland. Beautiful.
All hail Brian David Gilbert, safety fan and bureaucratic wunderkind (please address him as such)
Congrats on re-inventing cinema homie
it's been a crazy few months folks but just remember: object permanence is not real OBJECT PERMANENCE IS PROPAGANDA

@@boodles25 I feel like I've stumbled on an inside joke I don't have the context to
Nick we came out of very similar brand cocoons, change ur icon to yellow and you will understand
You’re gonna have to remind me what object permanence is again
The Wizard's voice is actually BDG's audition for voicing Waluigi.
bdg will voice waluigi is the new thing since the bros actually got into trolls 2
@Jonathan Y and just like the brothers, Brian David Gilbert will feature in the Waluigi Live Action Game™
they like watching birds

I want an unironic version of this song. That one note is just so good
i’m still not over “book forged in chrome” i’m absolutely furious
WAIT
Saaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaame. Cute aggression is my life
You kids and your stupid fake internet emotions
