It's some kind of weird underworld where instead of ransom and drugs they collect compliments and positivity.
Covid changed us.
They are con men. They boost your confidence.
HELP MY!!! My muscles are too big! I am a big tall man and my muscles are even BIGGER! I use them to get views but they HURT so much!!! Because they are heavy. Do you have any advice, dear say
@@AxxLAfriku Reminds me of the antagonist from the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles cartoon I used to watch as a child. He was so overbuilt (+ probably steroids) that he looked unwell. Like, veins trying to escape.
I think that’s the point yeah haha . The inverse of the typical “tough guys meeting surreptitiously to do a deal while insulting each other”
I like that a lot of Joel's humor is, "Wouldn't it be funny if people were nicer than you expected?"
That and 'what if birthday tickles were a thing?'
@@GPoh_99 I think that falls under people being nicer than you expect
I know
Its pretty wonderful. And honestly, its nice to get wholesome comedy more often.
Also, what if you tried to kill your best friend...and some RUclipsrs...
This must be Tony Lazuto's whole operation. I must say, I'm not disappointed.
I actually met him the other day, he says hello!

Yooooo, shoutout Quadeca starting off Joel's rap career.
Read this as he said it
Hey Ben, didn't expect to see you here. But you're probably enjoying free time now that the album is out, haha. Great album btw. Big ups my man.
Yes he did say that in the video thank you for clarifying that
What the, you watch Joel Haver?
"Arrive at midnight."
*Phone says 8:52 PM*
A story of three eager beavers meeting three hours early for wholesome affirmation.
The pandemic has been rough on us all.
The video cut out most of the three hours, just so it was easier on us spectators.

This is a new genre : wholesome thriller.
Lmao
Yes! I want to see a whole movie like this! But with a serious plotline rather than just a comedy.
@@SharonLougheed Maybe Pulp Fiction? It does have some wholesome moments despite its violence.
@@ReadToasts Ooh I've heard about it, but I haven't watched it. I'll check it out sometime.
*pointless thriller
My favorite part is that they filmed this at a park at night and someone probably thought "something's going down right there"
Well something was definitely going down
Something did go down. Their anxiety.
Thats your FAVORITE part???? You must really not like this video if thats the part about this you like.
@@deliocache2528 it do be a hyperbolic statement tho
@@deliocache2528
Bro he can still like the rest of the video even if his peak preferences are different from yours.
So stop telling people what they should and should not like. Makes you look like a jackass.
What if they work for a men's clothing company and this is their job
Lmao men's warehouse meets J Crew
Hey I just subscribed to you a couple weeks ago. My sons like your videos ;)
Wait u arent called middle of the nigth after u make a custom attire? and they compliment u so u don't get nervous after receiving compliments in ur next event/party?
You're gonna like the way you look.
THEY GUARANTEE IT.
Men’s Warehouse just went 3D with their advertisements
Can we guys seriously just start randomly meeting other guys dressed nicely at midnight and support each other like this?
Where I'm from it's actually a tradition to do that, you exchange gifts and sometimes the festivities last well past when McDonald's is closed.
Boys support boys
@@xoxoxo5286 No way, where are you from ??
I’m in Australia so that might be tough, but if anyone’s in Sydney I’d be happy to set up a compliment racket with them
@@Tzgrey77 Yes. And as a girl I support boys supporting boys. I just want the best for you guys.
shaking, in the way bones characteristically do
Just bros being honest about their feelings and being positive with each other, very wholesome.
And cool.

Hi Deku
Stop feeling me. It's weird.
Normalize men dressing nicely, meeting at midnight, and complimenting each other then going home.
I'm starting to realize more and more that Joel Haver is his own genre of video.
I like to call it “fever dream comedy”
Which I mean in the best way possible
@@Bubdiddly I like that. One tjnng I love about Joel's videos is i have no idea what is going to happen in the video. It's always a mystery because the man is so damn crazy creative and super weird. And I love that lol.
"I'm starting to realize more and more that Joel Haver is his own genre of video."
I'm not even sure it's just one genre.
Gives me Balloonshop vibes
Me realising I'm way too underdressed to watch this video. Be back at midnight.
I just want say, this was a great comment. I hope that doesn't make you feel pressured to keep this level of quality on all your comments. I am sure if you just phoned it in it would still be a pretty good comment. I'm blathering now...
@@juddgoswick2024 Dear Mr. Goswick, this is a really nice compliment which leads me to believe that you must be really nicely dressed. You probably even have, in your possession, at this very moment, the perfectly weathered vintage leather briefcase. Forgive me, now I'm blathering...
"Were you followed?"
"Nah, everyone was over 40 feet back."
“Did you get my pict- wHaT wAs ThAt?!”
“WhO’s ThErE??”
...
“Thought I heard something. Did you get my picture?”
"I could have swore I heard something...so what did you think about my pic-....who's there?? Who's there??"
"As we say in the mafia, if you're over 40 feet back, ya ain't suspicious."
😂😂😂😂😂😂🤣😎
The whole operation is run by Tony Lazzuto
This hits very different when you know that the sketches are improvised
Right? The moment the guy says “did you see my picture?” It went off the rails and I love it
Are they!?!?!
@@CaptainMaxwell7 Yes, thats cool anyways
Yeah I think they have general templates and then things evolve from there. Wouldn't be surprised if some lines come up in the moment, they all laugh, and then they collectively decide "let's use that one!"..and then maybe refilm it.
@@kejopr23 The sometimes even laugh on camera!
No one is born handsome. They become handsome after seeing Georgio. Georgio Ortiz strikes again.
And even more so after smiling and saying something genuinely nice to a friend
What Joel doesn't mention is he is setting up a whole new dystopian world where compliments get you thrown in jail. This truly was a thriller.
And holding hands is a crime punishable by death.
That's the secret of Tony Lazuto's organi--did you hear something?
@@Chasimuslee "Hold."
@@Chasimuslee no no no the new Galactic Emperor overturned that law: it's okay now
@@MichaelRigoni This is a prequel
This is literally the only way that men could compliment each other. In a darken car park with no witnesses.
Exactly, where us men are free to compliment each other without someone calling out gay or something else, just human beings giving compliments as everyone deserves them in this world we called hell
Black guys actually compliment each other all the time. Jokes are actually made about it on social media and movies like Sorry to Bother You. It’s actually a lot like this, which is why this was funny to see in white fashion also 😂.
yes this is exactly how I compliment all my homies, we set up a place and trade compliments with darkened glasses, and do it for 45 seconds straight with a timer.
Whait... are you gay?
@@hunde2430 Js with how handsome my friends are it sure makes it hard to *not* want to be gay.

mom you’re very beautiful and it’s only $5 a month

@@Joel-Haver YOU THINK WE OWN APPLE OR SOMETHING!?;?!?
It closed down right? O.o
@@Edmundsohn If this is true and you have the option to stop hanging out with them, stop hanging out with them! Much love!
In a world where human decency is so uncommon and frowned upon that compliments have become one of the biggest exports in the underground market.
oooo yes
I couldn't describe this video any better XDD
Guy 1: hey.. uh, ya, ya got them hugs in?
Guy 2: hugs? Do I have hugs? Course I got em what kinda friend would I be if i didnt have them hugs! Bring it in bud!
🤣🤣🤣
At the same time, this makes them more valuable.
Kinda weird that the camera man didn't compliment anyone. But I gotta say, his camera work is incredible. Truly outstanding.
Ahhh Georgio. We go way back. Beautiful man, beautiful cuts.
He cut my pubic hair 10/10 would recommend him
Wtf I just watched ur vid
Man I went in to Georgio's bald, and I came out with double the hair that I had on the day I was born!
You mean Georgio Ortíz? Down on Sierra Avenue? Great guy, great guy!

Sequel: one of the characters is dressed tacky and they help him dress better with compliments to him as a person. It starts as a torture scene in a warehouse.
no they get a fourth who doesn't quite fit because the wear Hawiian print shirts, the pinnacle of taky

I was thinking there was gonna be a "oh we forgot about the deal!", but no, they just went there to chat really.
Lost it when I realized that was the case lol
Eu achei que seria como no vídeo dos capangas do Batman kkk
Arrive at midnight. Dress nicely. Be complimented. The deal was completed.
Joel's videos seem like they were all entirely ad-libbed with no meetings, no instructions on what to do, and somehow nobody has ever met anyone else here and yet the entire universe came together to form it into something that is somewhat coherent. I love it.
He has already mentioned the majority of his videos are unscripted with just the basic premise of the video known.
he seems to have a premise and maybe a few key moments he wants to hit, but otherwise improv
I believe there are some loose rules to improv. Like 'yes, and_' and such. I'm pretty sure it's mostly just the performers feeding off of each other
This is like fight club but instead of men meeting in the middle of the night and beating the crap out of each other they dress nice and give compliments.
There only one rule about compliment club: Only give compliments.
Love how surprised Joel is to see Trent’s belt finally getting noticed. It’s about time Trent’s belts got some recognition. Happy to see it.
Holds the pants up. No issues.
This is what sold it for me. I mean, it just ties the whole look together, it definitely deserved the recognition. Well deserved.
I love how these don't even have a premise anymore, it's just kind of a vibe. I'm confused but I think I liked it.
Your mother is just kind of a vibe. A really lovely one, too. She's amazing and she did a good job raising you.

"They're just complimenting each other"
"Yup"
"But why are they there"
"That's not really important"
"It seems like it should be"
"It certainly does"
"Is that the joke? Subversion of expectation?"
"Probably, that's a major part of comedy. That was a really astute observation, really keen eye"
"Oh, well thank you"
"Yeah, no, I mean that, I think you're a lot smarter than you tend to give yourself credit for"
"Gee man, that means a lot. I really respect your opinions so it means a lot coming from you"
"Oh hey thanks, I sometimes feel like I'm just floating around in the void, but hearing stuff like that makes me feel like I'm important to someone"
"Of course you're important, you're real important"
"Thanks, you're important to me too. You're a great friend"
"You're a great friend, too, I feel like I'm better for knowing you"
"Man, that... That's big. I felt that one"

Joel is that one guy that writes down his highdeas and actually follows through with them.
Precisely.
Dream blunt rotation
The new men in black movie has taken a weird direction.
But already it was more entertaining than MiB 2 and International put together.
a very nice direction
Saving the world from intergalactic terror, one wholesome compliment at a time.
I love how while other skits try and end with a punchline, Joel's just trail off

I wouldnt know that far ı was Just stating a fact that Joel might have gone a bit far and made me feel like an Asshole for not treating my friends the same way ım a kind person inside but when ever ı try to explain this behaviors or present them ı feel like ım lying to myself ı dont approve what they did but it is a lesson people should learn.
Hey weren't you the guy from Graenolfs comment selection?
This inspired me to go to places at 12 am and develop a better dress sense.
One of my favorite tropes: people sitting in a car at night while waiting for something or someone mysterious
While wearing sunglasses in the dark
I dont know but Joel always makes me smile
Ah I relate. When you and your boys work weird hours and you want to see each other but the pandemic just keeps going and going, and you miss having reasons to dress up, so you dress up, compliment each other, and leave.
That was a very kind trade of compliments they had :)
- So, you got the package?
- Ye-
- YEAH YOU DO, I MEAN, LOOK AT YOU
Thought this was going to be an awkward operation, turned out to just be a wholesome conversation
I can only imagine the positivity radiating from this interaction to any passerbyers.
The word would be passers-by, actually
thanks for the videos joel they always make me feel better when i'm having a bad day
I’m glad they could help you feel better❤️ They’ll always be here for when you need them!

Instructions clear.
Seems like you understood them perfectly, you handsome devil.
watching people being very nice to each other makes me happy
Joel, I'm not sure if it's the actual message you intend or just my interpretation of your work. You make the most wholesome feeling videos, like the authenticity of your work never fails. It's always so welcoming. Warms me up in this dark place man. Thank you.
I love how Joel was already wearing the gloves in the car but at some point he took em off so he could put them back on in that badass shot at 00:54
They were so focused on complimenting eachother that they forgot to do the handoff
That conversation was the handoff, truly some professionals at work hiding in plain sight
Handoff of empty bags, but with sentimental history
This is too wholesome. I can't.
It's kind of sad that we have to normalize men being positive and kind to one another through humor, but I appreciate it regardless. This makes me laugh and also makes me feel a little hopeful that someday kindness will just be normal.

Can we talk about toxic femininity while were on the subject? They're all toxic. Bam.
@@g3nj1 haha women bad amirite fellow elite gamers
@@maccregar3117 Even if it wasn't a statement against toxic masculinity, it helps break it down regardless. Men complimenting each other genuinely and being earnest about their insecurities.

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
Such a wholesome sketch. Makes me wish compliments were really given this freely.
Compliment your friends genuinely and for no reason. Make it a trend. A genuine compliment often goes way farther than we think.
You just made an excellent suggestion. Also your sentence structure is easily readable and well formed!
I agree with Jason on that this was an excellent suggestion, also I gotta say man Tenacious Chemist is a pretty great username. Like it rolls on the tongue nicely!
And Jason, your profile picture makes me suspect that you are a very kind person. And to be fair, I clicked on your profile to check if you had anything posted. I have to say, what a beautiful tribute you made for your wife! I am sure she is a very happy lady!
I swear to God, I only found this Channel a few months ago with my friends. We were drinking and we came across "Playing an RPG for the 2nd Time". We actually watched the videos put of order and we thought they were the funniest thing. Every video you make is a home run! And this was a great way to start a thrusday morning before work :).
I liked for the Georgio Ortiz reference. That’s some serious continuity
The empty briefcase & duffel bag really threw me off the trail! So this wasn’t an exchange of money or goods, just niceties.
Damn the production on this one really sticks out from the rest of your shorts. Really good stuff
the mellow mafia kills with kindness once again
The pure friendship vibes are my favourite part of Joel's films
I'm really digging those shades, they really make your outfits pop.
This is so high quality if i saw this without context id think its a clip from a movie
Dude the music is so intense it makes it so much more hilarious
Kevin's score really sells this one, just some real ethereal, kind, perfect music
Wow this one is perfect in every way. The camera work, outfits, setting, dialogue, and even the background music. Damn, not to downplay your other work but this one just feels above and beyond.
This is the mad shorts i subbed for, god i love these.
I feel like Georgio's barbershop is sponsoring Joel.
This is a stealth sequel to the "attractive friend" sketch. Amazing.
I don't know if I was prepared for so much suspense...
So I'd love to see a part 2 to this, or the inverse-
"Arrive at 3, maybe 5 PM, T-Shirts optional" for like a high stakes spy thing or some such event.
What a fkin wholesome bunch. Just put a big ol'smile on my face this afternoon.
Thanks boys
Lighting is always so spot on, amazing
When your parents force you to get along with the new neighbor's kids, but you end up actually getting along and becoming friends

YES
Same. Literally opened up youtube and I saw it uploaded like 9 seconds ago
I discovered your page a week ago and now I'm just... Speechless. This was what I've been missing so long.
They really dressed nicely for this land surveying
I feel like the title was also the only instuctions for the actors. Improv gold
the sequel is going to be a positivity drive-by
Like catcalling, but wholesome
I love how Joel's videos range from chill to genuinely kind while still being funny.
I love how the thumbnail is like there talking to you, it’s perfect
The black sunglasses at night has big "we're on a mission from God" vibes
