Micheal made a ama about the show on reddit like 3 yrs ago. You should check it out.
Kav Junis link?
Kav Junis this is exactly what i was thinking smh
Honestly this feels bad
Dude he straight up had a Captain America speech
I can’t imagine what the 15 year old is thinking
“I’m stuck in the middle of nowhere with a bunch of elementary schoolers and have to obey the rules of 3 leaders who are also elementary schoolers”
Poor bastard is old enough to be in highschool rip my mans
Honestly is I was in that situation the kids would learn about sex and drugs just to piss everyone off
Jackalope Plays damn bro you’re so cool
I thought he'd be the first to go because he would be the most rational. I mean, if my parents forced me into this shit I'd leave in an instant.
I sincerely doubt he would be taken orders from someone waaay younger than himself if this was a real thing..
As a fifteen year old I would hate this.
"Let's see what type of society kids can make!"
**separates the kids in teams and has a literal hierarchy**
we live in a society
That’s what bothers me the most. Like, you’re already crossing a line by sending a bunch of children into the middle of the desert, at least take the opportunity to make it an interesting show and see what kind of society they actually create. With this show, not only are they stranding children in the desert, there’s not even an actual kid nation to somewhat justify it.
@@diegodollarhide6663 exactly there was no trying to see what kind of political society the kids would make if was just like, "let's separate them into teams and rip off survivor da doyyy." Like the producers couldn't even follow their own show they were making. How epic would it have been if the kids were just like 1 team was communist. 1 team was capitalist. 1 team was hierarchy. 1 team was socialist. But NOOOOOOO that'd be too complex for the general audience.
@@pintolerance785 Exactly. If you're going to cross the line and make a show that's entirely insane and unsafe, at least commit to the bit, so that when it's all over we can at least say we got a cool show out of it.
Yeah thats how societies are made dummy

Jimmy: *has a mental breakdown*
Cameraman: _this is where the fun begins_
Jimmy: This is outrageous It’s unfair
What about the droid attack on the children?
It seems like Jonathan Karsh wanted Jimmy to cry. But that’s JUST A THEORY. A KID THEORY.
Jimmy: I hate sand. Its coarse, rough and its gets everywhere.
Game time started.
Jonathan Karsh is like the real life version of Chris MacLaine from Total Drama. Though at least Chris focused his insanity on teenagers and his interns rather than preteens.
Chris, Krabs, and Wario, coupled with Gray Mann and a hint of Oswald Cobblepot, are the reason why it exists.
literally my thought lol
I also like how one of the kids is three years away from being a legal adult, but he has to follow orders from 10-12 year olds.
That's probably why he was pissed off most of the time.
"I think I'm gonna die out here"

Funilly enough I was kind of hoping kids would be "how about no"
"That's great sweetie, what... what do you mean, I thought... the desert? rattlesnakes? What do you mean... FEUDALISM?!"
This is gold.
Honey where are you HONEY WHERE ARE YOU
WHATS THE NEAREST STREET SIGN
The kids are legit insanely smart, hard working and capable leaders. The adults are literally just committing child abuse tho
The Kids: "Hey this system is kinda broken and we didn't build this society at all. Can we reform?"
The Producers: "No"
The council are the least rational ones. They make worse decisions than the rest of the others.
@@benitoswagolini3410 Well I mean they're a bunch of 11 year olds with unchecked unelected power.
@@askgoverntale2298 well even Jimmy was smarter than them. Most of the other kids were. That one girl knew she probably wasn't getting enough nutrients to properly function. Jimmy was one of the smartest kids there. He knew that the whole thing wasn't good for him, and that he was way too young for that. The council were the worst of all of them.
@@benitoswagolini3410 Jimmy and the 15 year old should've been the leaders, not "The Council".
“This has been the worst day in three years.”
Well, that’s ominous.
And from a person who is alive for like, 6 years too.
For all we know his mother died three years ago, or for all we know he murdered a bunch of hamsters with a sledgehammer three years ago

"Hey man, you need to talk about something?"
I'm gonna jump the gun here.
I'm gonna say he's got at least one stage parent that's making him do this and probably made him do something similar three years prior.
Host: "There are no adults to tell you what to do!"
Also Host: "Here's what you're gonna do."
Yeah, for real. I really wanted to see how they'd divide the labor among the kids based upon THE KIDS' decision. I will say though, the twelve year olds probably wouldn't be running the town if that were the case.

I love the idea of all these kids doing their jobs, standing there in the stores waiting for customers but never getting ONE because the only people there are the kids and they’re running the other stores
Yeah, the town's economy would have suffered from a crippling liquidity crisis. They had no precious metals to mint or use to back a currency and no real way of injecting money into the system or of creating more money, so how would have an economy worked anyway? At best they would have had imaginary Kidbucks given to them by the producers but a huge issue there would be static amount of money where the amount of money in the system would never change. This all would've necessitated feudal like economy where only way to trade would be to barter one good for another or to exchange hours of labor for goods or different labor. e.g "I'll work 5 hours in your farm you give me x amount of that good".
Boring just like real life retail job, how realistic!
@@Dendarang uh, where TF did you get the idea that the money supply has to be non-static? We ain't trading with aliens, so do you think that if governments stopped printing money the world economy would literally collapse?
Money is like blood; it's not meant to come in from outside or leave inside, it's just meant to flow around and make shit work, only replenishing whatever is lost or destroyed; having not enough is going to be worse than having too much, but either will fuck you over; and politicians have an unending hunger to suck more and more of it from their people like livestock. (notable difference is that they suck money through inflation and taxes unlike blood which they suck from the jugular.)

This was actually my dream as a child. Little 8 year old me wanted nothing more than to be stranded on a deserted island with a few friends so we could fend for ourselves and start civilization anew. Dead ass serious
This show would've been great if it didn't have producer intervention. Like the kids literally proposed the idea to change the societal structure but the producers wouldn't let them. Producers even in the middle of nowhere they somehow end up messing stuff up.

The post office is totally clueless. But these stars are...well...the material they're made out of, it's...they shouldn't smell so raw.
Last night's package was placed directly at my doorstep. My security footage shows *nothing.* If you find this recording, don't follow me. Call the police and get out of here."
I would pay copious amounts of money for JonTron to do a full watch and commentary of the series
I wonder how many of these kids ended up needing therapy. Is there like a reunion EP? Like a “where are they now?”
14-year-old Sophia allegedly stole a crew member's phone to call her parents.
CLEVER GIRL
i tried to dm her on instagram to confirm that she was the same sophia from the show and she blocked me
@@mktriton333 damn lol, you probably opened some closed wounds when you sent that message to her.
@@FelixTOONS it was like 5 minutes after i sent the dm lmao i dont even think she thought it thru she just hit the block button
peter like most people on social media
Jimmy recognising that he's too young for this is ironically mature
indeed.
siveboi classic catch 22.
I feel so bad for jimmmy
23:09 i love how he just ignores the kid in the lower right corner.. who clearly has his hand up, perhaps saying " I also want to go home please"
The way Jonathan says, "get off the bus!" it get me every time.
Jimmy, the only sane kid in the group: “I’m going home!”
Jonathan: “Don’t worry jimmy we’ll call you’re parents and send you home.”
*Proceeds to pull a Total Drama and drop this kid off in the middle of the desert*
At ANOTHER group's desert town. Like a Vault Tech experiment.
well jontron found jimmy so at least we know he made it out of kid nation alive
All right Jimmy, we'll send you home. *Loads a shell into a shotgun and leads him out to a large hole in the desert*
@@Karboooo
After being held in captivity since childhood
Jon sends Jimmy home to the place where he belonged
@@Karboooo that's why he says "stop it Jimmy"...it's the PTSD of being deserted in a desert town.
Can we acknowledge the fact that Jimmy, even after being looked down upon by Jonathan Karsh, crying and running away, and even his own friends while he was there peer pressuring, kept to his gut when people told him otherwise? No wonder the kid's in med school now, he's going places!
Yyyyyyy
Jimmy gonna murder cancer
@@redhood7650 Correction: Jimmy is going to *nuke* every cancer cell to exist.
@@DeeJame but... we already do that
@@DeeJame how about carefully nuking only the cancer cells?
That flinstones gummies line just kills me every time
In the grand scheme of things this might be Jon’s best video
Sister and I talked about it being one of his best, every bit is amusing and memorable, jokes landed majority of the time, and the fact Jon got an interview with Jimmy is so funny.
It just ties itself up in a neat bow. JonTrons scripting has always been golden standard, but this video brought out more, be it from him and/or his film crew.
*On the bus*
"Please let this be a normal field trip"
"With the Karsh?"
*"NO WAY!"*
"Trails off highway and drives to the desert"
Today kids, we are going to learn about governmental hierarchies and third-world revolutions! Who's with me! *Turns the bus into a hammer-and-sickle AFV.*
🎵Cruisin’ in the desert. You ain’t relaxed or feeling good.🎵

Underrated comment.
"This is the worst day in 3 years" let's have a little reflection on that. This poor child has been through worse then being abandoned and left to starve in the deserts of new Mexico. He has seen the face of death and is able to say sternly, to the rolling dunes of a dying land, you're still not as bad as when I lost my 3DS on the bus to camp.
Truly inspiring
@@th3rasave It has brought me to tears
@@ultimateecho-echo78 how can you cry if you don't even have eyelids?
Once a spider bite me. One day I hit the wound with a shelf or something, then it started to bleed a lot and pus started to come out. Then my mom literally rub and wash my bleeding wound with force (you see people washing their cars with their hands and cloth pieces. Then there's this spot that you need to wash so you apply more strength but it's not going off so you use more strength and it's all a never ending cycle until you barely managed to wash a tiny percentage of that spot but your tired and then give up) Imagine that but with my 11 year old arm. Then we go to the hospital and they do the exact same thing. After that, they told me to be careful with it and to not get it wet. There was also like a pool party the next day before summer. Also I live in a state that's literally a desert.
@@admin.slayerenryu5217 this is relevant how...?
Dude. I wade through the water of RUclips and never get so much as a chuckle, but JonTron has me dying start to finish. I mean I was in tears.
Vulture’s all-time favorite child-abuse-based reality show Kid Nation is back in the news today! Nikki Finke is reporting that one former contestant who was injured during filming is pursuing a possible lawsuit against CBS. According to Finke, the network has been trying to settle this outside of the courts, but the potential plaintiff is asking for “high 7 figures” while they only want to pay $50,000 (the exact value of one of those super gold stars from the finale). So which kid is it?
We’re only aware of five serious injuries happening during taping - four unnamed youngsters accidentally drank bleach from an unmarked soda bottle (it happened off camera and they all lived, we think), and then-11-year-old Divad Miles burned her face on a stove while preparing a meal. At the time, Divad didn’t seem all that upset about it, brushing it off and telling other contestants, “I’m fine.” This is probably because she was in the middle of an all-out campaign to win one of Kid Nation’s $20,000 gold stars. She even made signs begging the town council for one! Hilariously, that episode’s gold star went to hardworking home-schooled contestant Nathan, which is why we think embittered kid Divad is the most likely suspect.
Still, we never did find out who the bleach drinkers were. If one was Alex (i.e. the Smartest Kid in Bonanza City), he’s probably the only kid on the show who could figure out a way to sue despite his having signed a blanket waiver absolving the network of all liability. We just hope this gets resolved soon so CBS can get back to work on season two!

BLEACH? Oh... My god? Thank you so much for sharing this extra level of detail lol
if i were the fifteen year old, i’d start plotting a revolution the *second* i heard i was under the dictatorial rule of four elementary school kids
he could LITERALLY fucking yeet any of them
Same
Apparently CBS kept meddling with any attempted governmental alterations.
Like how the Green group wanted to go independant and ditch the assigned caste system for some form of meritocracy but the adults shut them down.
VIVE LA REVOLUTION
VIVA LA RESISTANCE
I was watching this during midnight when my parents think I’m asleep and legit could not stop laughing i was trying so hard to hold my laughter in. Thanks john tron for this amazing video that almost got me grounded but it was worth it.
Imagine sending your kid off to this very dangerous reality TV show, not being able to see or talk to them for a long time, just for them to be a background character
The second episode of this show is called "To kill or not to kill"
Holy shit.
The motto of the 15 year old
That was probably the episode that Jimmy told us about in the interview where they killed a couple rabbits
They cut a chickens head off.
Red Blade Renegade WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK
Atomic Man 64 ??
I hate how Jimmy was legit like- "I'm way too young for this. I want to go home." And then Karsh tried to actually manipulate him to stay.
He’s in a desert alone with kids he has more
1000th like on this comment...
@@benstetics First like on your comment.
You know I'm actually really impressed with Jimmy. He knew what he wanted, felt in over his head, was brave enough to face the peer pressure to stay, and was still well-articulated enough to say "i'm way too young for this". That's a very mature, well-reasoned response. Even adults struggle to articulate their feelings that well. And he was the youngest there. Props to him.
Hey, Jimmy’s at least lucky the star wasn’t used to manipulate him. It’s a scuff, sure, but considering how Jimmy says it *could’ve* increased his chance to stay makes it a lucky scuff.
I watched the whole show with some friends in a Discord call and it was such a good experience. I've also watched this video like 5 times now
Years later and this is probably my favorite Jontron episode. Idk why its just soooo good.
Jimmy is the smartest of all of them. The only way to win the game is is to quit the game
20 000 $ would be not enough to pay the therapist in the rotten USA Health System, he was trully the clever kid XD
"The only winning move is not to play." -WOPR
just like life
Not wrong
Jimmy is the real winner bc he doesn’t have to live in hell for 35 more days lol
