I love that Brennan played one of the background characters in the first April Fools sketch last year. Not only has he been promoted to main cast member since last year, but he has also been knighted as Sir John Doe, Defender of The Basic. I’d say that’s a productive year. Good for him. 👍🏼
I think I'm broken. I wasn't expecting the jumpscare, but as soon as it appeared, instead of jumping, I felt an instant wave of nostalgia. I haven't seen one of those since high school.
I find it funny that I skipped (you know like skip five second by double tapping or pressing the arrow key) ahead since I was getting bored then they talked for like two seconds then the jump scare happened. Somehow I didn’t react much either.
The defender of the basic is literally my favorite character that you guys created. He’s like a comedic anti-hero or something, and I kind of wish he was used more. Plus sometimes I like basic stuff and hate it when snobby people want to shame other people for having certain interests.
I went back and watched the original April Fool sketch and noticed Brennan in the fool's attendants and now my headcanon is that seeing the April Fool mocked and insulted was the thing that light a valorous and basic flame in his heart

I almost avoided it. almost. 2 seconds earlier I just remembered the jumpscare of the other AF video, so my finger reached the M key in an instant, ready to mute the video...'wait for it....' AAAARGHHH!!!! fooled me twice.
They really didn't but to be fair I was playing candy crush soda at the same time so I wasn't focused enough. There was just a weird noise at one point but can't say it was scary.
Trapp has the best faces when he is not speaking!! Very funny support that makes you want to watch again just to watch his mannerisms and reactions!!! Thx for the laugh T!

"in an age of increasing isolation, even the silliest holiday helps unite us all. fall on our backsides, laugh at our misfortune, and rise again. what would be more human than that?"
There are a lot of companies right now (during the COVID-19 pandemic, for you time travelers) who are feeling pressure not to do their April Fools -pranks- *ads* today, and I understand why (especially since many of them are closed now). But I hope sites and channels dedicated to humor, like this one, still go ahead with their planned videos and such. We all need some humor these days.
