'do you know any classical pieces?'
'on the viola?'
'yeah'
*starts playing scales* 💀💀
TBF - that's exactly what I would do as a violist between violinist to try to get eliminated early. An impostor would prefer to play it safe.
@@adamkozakiewicz6766 yea but that is just a general issue with these videos. They should let the viola player win if they get picked correctly and then just not let them play anything but the scale.
@@theelysium1597 I feel like the premise of this was a bit confusing because of this, but it was entertaining lol
@@adamkozakiewicz6766 the thing is, this game is all violinists are trying to pretend they are violists, so it is essentially 5 imposters
it is so obvious it wasn't him because he legit said "on viola?"
What I learned from this video: The best viola jokes are told by violists
There is an old video on Ray Chen's channel where he talks with one of his friends who is a violist. I won't spoil it for you in case you want to watch the video, but yeah... violists are definitely the best at telling viola jokes. 😄
Because we've heard them all before
Also, he was the sort of quietest from the beginning.
@@MissTwoSetEncyclopediathat was a fun video, and I liked how he explained the special differences in playing a viola vs violinist.
@@susanbryant6516 I have to say that it's been a long time and the video was 1 hour+ so I don't remember everything. I'll probably watch or listen to it again next week. 😊
(I mean the whole livestream, the video with just the joke lasts only a couple of minutes.)
How many violists does it take to change a lightbulb? Just one, but they'll complain that it's too high for them to reach!
I've been getting a bit too inspired by this video now-
(jk, viola gang, we love you)
How many violinists does it take to change a lightbulb?
1, they hold onto it and wait for the world to revolve around them 😆
@@paulhawkin9147that made me giggl
We can stand up for ourselves!! Especially when we play folk music 😝
"Violists nap a lot" I mean you're not wrong but I'm still highly offended 🤣
It’s Mozart’s birthday today!🎉
The boys have been treating us latelyyyy ❤
"Number 2 , bottom line of alto clef." *silence* 9:53 Everyone plays scales here. 😂
Best viola joke of all time: The violin and viola are actually the same instrument, it's just violinists' heads are so big it makes their instrument look smaller.
That's a violin joke 🤣
violins are merely violas for babies with tiny hands and tiny eardrums which can't hear anything below middle C
Good one 🤣🤣
Bruh 😂
Omg
As a violinist with a friend group consisting of 50% violists I can confirm they indeed know the best viola jokes, they just don’t like when non-violists tell them 😂😂 (also they do stand up for themselves, I actually don’t remember how often they’ve destroyed me for disrespecting viola 💀😂)
it's like you must never take outside the (self-depreciating) inside joke? got it
Stay safe, brother. A violist and violinist cannot be “friends”, rather they are fated to be mortal enemies. They are planning to murder you.
"Do you know any classical pieces?"
"On viola?"
*proceeds to play solfège syllables*
Le Twoset : *dies*
Great, now let’s do 5 Ling Lings vs 1 Prodigy!
great just have to find 5 people who were palying at -100000 years old
Don't you know that only 1 Ling Ling Goddess in the whole world? 😮 And she at least 1000 times better than any prodigy you can think of.
But what makes a prodigy?
Even if they are the are probably stil a Ling Ling too

Jasmine Choi plays flute though?
**violist discovers Twoset** Wow! A classical music channel I can watch and relate to!
**watches two seconds of a twoset video** Oh..
**gets roasted continuously**
Yeah, its kind of a meme but I also feel like they take it too far. They offer such good encouragement for everything else its a shame they never have a break or video where a real violist can defend themselves.
@@elyk87 Their jokes and roasts are much more tame now compared to a few years ago. I have been following them for a long time and they definitely have made a lot of effort to talk about viola in a more positive light. But you know... "chassez le naturel, il revient au galop". (No idea how to translate this French saying, I'll let you use Google Translate. 😅)
I mean, even back when I was in orchestra in high school, like 14 years ago, it was common to roast the viola players.
@phantomlogic6940 I think that's the main issue. Brett and Eddy grew up in orchestra culture where violinists and violists have been roasting each other for ages, a little bit like siblings teasing each other. Since at the beginning of their channel their audience was classical musicians, it wasn't an issue. But with their success they gained a new (and young) audience who come from a non-classical world, don't understand the context and tend to take it at face value...
@@MissTwoSetEncyclopedia That's a good point. Even though I was a cellist, I still picked up on this, so hearing the roast wasn't a surprise. I also recall a bit of a friendly rivalry between us (the cellists) and the violinists (specifically the first violinists), though I'm not sure if that's common. We were the best sections of our orchestra, which was part of it, I think.
The violist is my viola teacher, so I knew right from the start. 😆 Seeing he got eliminated right from the start was the LOL moment
Wow hahah
ofc the actual one seems extremely sus
Ngl he was the person I pegged as most likely to be a violinist!
Please Eddy, make a game of bringing together several violinists and you have to find Brett 🥹🙏 You had fun putting Brett in difficult situations with musicians.
Amazing idea!
Yesssss
This is gold
YES!
Hope they take your idea!
"The best person to tell the viola jokes is the violist" 😎
There is an old video on Ray Chen's channel where he talks with one of his friends who is a violist. I won't spoil it for you in case you want to watch the video, but yeah... violists are definitely the best at telling viola jokes. 😄
Funny thing is that he was my first guess as the violist. How he answered in his first answer seemed very sincere.
@meganwong9508 Same, on the first round my instinct told me it was him ! Something about his relaxed behaviour, probably because he was the only one who had nothing to hide and didn't have to make up stories.
Small suggestion, if we are doing this type of game next time, any chance to let each musician play a bit of their fav piece after answer reveal? Or at least play something together? Since you guys are trying to bring classical music to more people right, this is a good chance to let people who click in to have a taste of classical music. I know copy strike can be a thing, I'm sorry, just a small suggestion.
Good idea! I would like that! But in this case they were lying about their favourite piece of course ;) but still they could all have played something at the end!
putting together chamber music can be time-consuming and not everyone would be at the same level and it might be a little weird but a cool concept
‘I think I already know who the violist is’ -Brett Yang 2024
Famous last words
We need another episode of Brett and Eddy with the OG viola try not to laugh challenges
ye agree!
YES PLEASE
Yess please😂
We need a lot of OG videos imo like violin charades
These are better
A professional orchestra is planning to tour different countries. Unfortunately, on the very night before their journey starts, the conductor comes down with a bad flu. They cannot find another conductor this quickly, and cancelling the entire tour would be way too expensive, so they look for a replacement within the orchestra.
As it turns out, one of the violists has conducting experience. So the orchestra goes on the tour and plays concerts in various cities, all of which are great successes.
Back home during the first orchestra practice with their recovered conductor, the rest of the violists come up to the one who conducted the entire tour: "Where have you been these past two months? We haven't seen you during the entire tour!"
LMFAOOO MY SIDESSS. I have to admit that was good. Holy moly. First time hearing that in my 5 years of playing the viola
Ok, that was really good
It took me way too long to understand this 💀☠
@@Chaiirrlosit's because they didn't look at the conductor the entire time
Omg!!!😂😂😂😂
Why do you often see violists standing in the street in front of their homes waiting?
They can’t find the key and they don’t know when to come in.
ooooh savage
IM A VIOLIST AND THATS MY FAV VIOLA JOKE LOL
Finally, an actual joke :) not just the childish: "What did the violinist say to the violist?" - "You're sh*t".
@@liamnevilleviolist1809Oh hey, you're still here! 😂 Hilarious.
All the contestants had such chill vibes! And the violist's playing was beautiful 🤩 We love you, viola gang! ❤️❤️
The poor violist being eliminated first 😂
brett eddying for the whole video with his sleeve
Nice sentence! A real inside joke 😂
All jokes aside, viola is actually pretty nice to listen to. I remember going to this quartet performance when I was in uni, and the viola player really caught my attention cause he is so good. He made the viola really stand out, and he has thick vibrato, which really gives his playing a personality. Well, then when I read his introduction, he is actually a violinist, and he is a prize winner at the Menuhin competition (though many many years ago) lol But anyways, viola is a beautiful instrument, when you play it well (like all instruments).
and that’s on period
i agree!! it kind of depends on the player but everyone in my school orchestra sucks :(( wish we had some good viola players
@@noellevfxthats just sad
@@valengo137 it is though they have the whiniest tone
I actually love viola more than violin. I find violin to be too high pitched to my liking. Viola sits on the perfect spot between violin and cello + double bass.
Would you guys please add subtitles. I watch your videos with my mom (she has some hearing problems) and subtitles in your older videos really helped her enjoy your humor. 😢
Totally agree. The auto generated ones weren't always correct. I have the same issues as your mum, especially in the echoey studio. The sound is a bit distorted.
Yeah, I turned them on bc so many of the words were indistinct. I'm hoping this is just a "We posted the video but are in the process of adding subtitles" though personally I wish the subtitles were ready when the video is posted initially
it would indeed be nice if they would spend some money on proper subs
the viola gang will rise up again
ofc the violist will get the mentally ill pfp
@@ragmamale4783 I'm beyond that now.
Idk what you’re taking about cuz viola was never up to begin with 🔥
No offense lol violists are cool
The Viola King is sitting there, waiting for his loyal knight to join him. But before that, the knight needs to pass both physical and mental tests to prove his loyalty to Voila.
I think the funniest part of this video is the subtitles struggling to understand whenever someone says violist.
I'm a bassoonist, and LOVE the sound of the viola! STOP THE VIOLA HATE!!!! hahahahahaha Maybe because one of my favorite bassoon solos was originally written for the viola. Weber's Andante and Hugarian Rondo.
The girl number 1 was right about the down-to-earth vibe of violists though! I'm a violinist, but I generally like the viola gang people a lot 😎
"Top line on alto clef, what note is it?"
"G."
"OhHohohOhOhhoOH"
I like these top production style videos, but I kinda miss the old vibes, just brett and eddy chillin
yeah, it felt way more intimate that way, maybe their podcast would provide the same feeling...
They have a podcast? What’s it called?
twoset talks@@evercuriousmichelle
hehe... i guess it's up to twoset themselves so..
Yes..I agree..it makes me happier than ever that they have been getting the success they deserve..but I miss the white wall and the gray squares..and just the normal hanging around vibe..
The 2nd guy that played jazz on viola was impressive! His out-of-tune playing even made it jazzier🤣
Joke: What is the difference between a violin and a viola?
Violinist: A viola burns longer.
Violist: A viola holds more beer.
What is a burning violin good for? For starting a viola fire….
Do 5 classical music players vs 1 jazz player 💀
While I studied music very briefly at one point a veteran teacher cracked a great joke about violists:
*_«What do a violist's fingers and lightning have in common? They never strike the same place twice!»_*
Lightning actually sometimes does, so the better version is: what's the difference?
2:14 Eddy has been Singaporean-ised!
(For info, “Majulah” means “onward” in Malay, and Majulah Singapura is the name of Singapore’s national anthem.)
I didn't even realize it because of the accent lmao
Thanks, I was waiting for someone to translate in the comments. 👍🏻
Are they living in Singapore now? They seem so connected
@@IgnorantSeeker they are based in Singapore now, it seems…
@@IgnorantSeeker Yes, they've been living there for several years now.
4:35 those are fighting words 😂
also laughed when contestant number 2's voice literally cracked when he was talking about not liking the spotlight. The attention was getting to him, and he cracked under pressure lmao! Bless him!
Just finished my 40 hours of practice, time to enjoy some 2set 😌
Except I'm a violist
The violist is the one glowing from the eternal beauty of the viola. Every time.
The hoodie and t shirt are violist fashion staples, that should have been a giveaway as to his identity. I’m a violist, I should know 😅
why don't you make videos just you two anymore, i miss those.. i don't really care for all those videos with people i don't know lol, i want to watch for brett and eddy
yeah same, i miss their old videos. they are becoming like that channel jubilee, it feels so corporate.
why is enjoying to be with new/old friends is 'corporate'? @@oliverdiamond6594
I would like to see it the other way around - in a bunch of violists, find a violinist. 🙃
As a violist, I enjoyed it. Well done. 😎
Spontaneous Viola jokes from the audience and Eddy at the Auckland (NZ) leg of world tour last night. 😝 It was so great to see 2SV live! 🌟🌟 We learned that Eddy lived in Christchurch, and Brett in Hamilton when they were v young.😮
Yep, they talked about it in an old interview. After leaving Taiwan they first lived in New Zealand before moving to Australia.
If I remember well, Brett from age 5 to 12 and Eddy from 3 to 8.
@@MissTwoSetEncyclopedia Thanks! I knew about a NZ connection (from some minor references in other videos) but had no ideas what cities they were in.
y’all forget that us violists absolutely love viola jokes…
As a violinist whose dating a violist, I can confirm the best viola jokes come from the violists themselves
Brett and Eddy. That "competition" was the most fun episode I have seen for such a while. I must note. #1. A beautiful, inifinite, white cyclorama came up so well on screen. #2. Very even and flattering lighting. All participants were shown in a very flattering mode. #3 Very good audio in a VERY difficult scenario. We were able to hear all the "victims" very clearly. #4. The set layout and interview dynamic worked extremely well.. #5. The cameras were well controlled and the live cutting was very good. #6 Your lovely "victims" were very relaxed and performed very well. I must say that the preproduction team have done an extremely good job to get this show to the very HIGH standard that we have seen. It is a fabulous concept. Congratulations to Brett and Eddy. You are so relaxed that you just go with your own instincts and the show carries itself. Please Brett, Eddy and minders and others. Get this concept rolling. I enjoyed it so much and I'm sure the other followers will agree that you will be on a roll with more of this. Thank You.
I think you people should drop another vedio with producer Shaun 😂😂
probaly as soon as they are finishing the tour and back to Brisbane ( in February)
Viola gang here
Here's my viola joke: violins and violas are actually the same size, the violin looks smaller because violinists have bigger heads
I always just assume it's the first or second person they've eliminated.
I feel summoned... (I am a violist)
Violists unite
Majulah viola!(onward viola)
Twoset finding new ways to roast violists😂
Not me always making fun of my friends who play viola lollll…. But in all honesty, violists are the nicest people out there. Keep up the good content Brett and Eddy!!
I miss the older content. Not saying I do not like the current content, it is certainly fun, and likely appeals to a broader audience, but the more intimate videos leave a more satiating watch.
I agree
I agree too
They are touring the world - do not really have time/energy/placet o do the 'old' content. So they recorded dozen vids in Singapore in December - to upload while they are touring. After their February 1st last concert of this leg, they are going to back to Brisbane - where the og studio is.
As a violist who just got yelled at for intonation, that number her viola joke was a personal attack
Your content is really motivating me to practice
as a violist i gotta watch this and judge the violinists
“I’ll take a nap and see how I feel” good trick
Oh I was wrong! Thought contestant No.2 (Jeffrey Tan?) was the violist.
Fun episode! Lively lovely guests!
My mother once called the viola "the bootylicious violin", so that's what viola is in my brain ever since haha
i went to the new zealand world tour just 2 days ago and now watching twoset's videos they feel so much better
bro, I WAS IN AUCKLAND that day, and was looking for brett and eddy the whole time 🤣🤣
lol🤣
weren't they napping?
@@Hermitcrab98 haha probably lol,
i swear i saw them one time, probably some random people though 🤣🤣.
Just adding a couple of my favorite jokes: What separates the violas from the barbarians? The second violins... Instrumentation of a string quartet: 1 good violinist, 1 bad violinist, 1 failed violinist and 1 who hates violinists. Violas rule! 😀
Do cellists hate violinists or do violists do?
so a violinist and 3 violists?
Anyone in this who didn't give their reason for playing the viola as "it sounds better" was immediately eliminated in my mind.
My guess was the violist from the beginning just cause I liked his vibes, and I was a viola player.
Viola gang here..Fun game! But I have a question regarding an old series: When Eddy did the Viola KIng skits and kidnapped violinist Brett, part two ends with "to be continued" ...Did they ever do a part 3?
don't think so
One viola joke and two violinist jokes(I'm violin teacher,by the way). How do you now when a viola player is not playing on tune? When the bow moves. What is the most contraceptive method used by the violin players? Their personality. How do you now who is the last violin stand in an orchestra? Is the only one that have no knives on his back...😂
Violin and Viola rivalry is just Clarinet and Oboe in another universe 😂
Yes
Classic example of Confirmation Bias. They thought it was 1, so they forgot to ask more specific questions :-D
I would think a real violist would talk about the sound of the instrument. That is the reason to be a violist!👏👏
I guessed it. These people were such good sports and this was fun!!!🥰
I initially thought the title was "5 Violinists vs 1 Violinist" and was very confused :D
The collective laughter in this video is the greatest thing ever!
Called it from the start, violists know a violist😂
The violist wins!
Twoset nails it as always 👍
Loved the gig last night guys! Thanks for visiting NZ!
Thank you for using the 4th movement of Tchaikovsky's Serenade for strings
Do this but invite ray chen 😂😂😂
As a pianist, I don't care if it's Violinist or Violists...
just play in the background for these great things called piano concertos!
Bwahahahaa!!
Okay, based on appearance alone I guess that either one of the girls or the guy on the right is the violist.
1st edit: I'm about 5 minutes in, I'm really feeling the guy on the right
2nd edit: third round, guy on the right played an out of tune (just a little bit) scale on purpose *I'm confident*
3rd edit: round 4 girl is convincing, very impressive
4th edit: I was wrong from the beginning, nice!!!
I think you should invite Amichai Grosz, the lead viola of the Berlin Philharmonic ... WDYT?
Beautiful viola playing ❤
As a double bassist I 100% play whoever’s first recommended by spotify😭
I’ll practice 1 minute for each like
you won't make it to 40 hours I dont think so
As an individual who's called Viola I just wanna ask: Am I a joke to you?? 🥲😂
note how no. 3 is not playing the lowest string at all, they clearly are a violinist playing a piece they can play on the viola that was a violin piece
12:59 call me insane but tell me does that not look like Ray Chen???
I chose viola from the beginning as a kid bc I thought violins were too squeaky. Violist for life!
Why do you have to post everything at 11pm i’m about to sleep:/
literally me
You guys should have a roast-off between violist and violinist
“Ohh tellmetellmetellme!” Eddy sounds like a school girl lol
I like this content but I really miss the good old days
they are touring the world - away from the og studio
@@e2pii213 I know. But that's not why. In the video they talked about their reddit they said they wanted to keep making high production vids on this channel, and keep the chill vibes to their podcast channel
which is better violin or viola
viola ofc 🙄
Oh wow I guessed who the violist was right from the start!
And omg the viola joke from him was so good
I'm loving these new gameshow-esque videos but maybe you should ocassionally bring back your other videos like Ling Ling 40 hours
The viola king should do well with identifying his underlings.
When the viola gang rise up
7:07 they say that the principal violist always opens his locker before a concert, there's written a note in there and he checks it every time before he goes up. what's written on the note?
"viola on the left, bow on the right"
0:03 that wink and confidence! I think I’m in love!😆🤣
