I love that Bryce has never experienced a single thing in his life and yet somehow managed to get into the friend group
that's true friendship right there
That's me with my friends
I'm sort of the Bryce, but I actually do have a fair few stories but they're all from when my life was more interesting so I have to ration them. I mainly just make jokes at nobody's expense. That's my 'value' to the group. Also fulfilled the 'fat guy' quota, but then I went and lost the weight and unironically feel like my dynamic in a few of my groups has shifted because of it 😕 I think the 'gregarious giant' thing works better when you're a fat guy...
@@kenjutsukata1o1naw now you just gotta get really muscular and learn to crush things with your hand, that’ll get the boys. Congrats on losing weight :)
Thats really just guys bein dudes
Dax sneezes and no one says "bless you". That could've been a great conversation starter.
That's because it was a tease not an actual sneeze
@@seancsnm "Don't you just hate when that happens? Like the sneeze wants to come out... but just doesn't, and now you gotta wait for the next cycle. Man..."
They probably already had that conversation at least 7 times already, that's one of the go to friend group conversations.
A lot of people say something else, or they don't say anything at all. Variety and individualism should be celebrated and indeed discussed.
Why do we say “bless you”? Do any of you know? I heard rumors but I think it’s just mythology so I’m just dying for an official explanation. I did sneeze once and nobody said it. Thought it was pretty weird. Huh.
Such a pivotal moment in any friendship is when you meet someone who is so interesting and always has new stories and anecdotes to share, but then after a few months they slowly start to tell you stories they already told you, and they start gradually repeating themselves. It's genuinely like a nice feeling, realizing the friend you had is just a normal person with like 3-4 months worth of interesting stories max
is that really how it works? I thought it was me having nothing to say and everybody else being able to come up with just about anything, and infinitely.
@@cridus_ It depends, but there can be a warm comfort in hearing the same stories from friends. A familiarity and sense of trust between people. My family is like that too. When we run out of new things to say for the time being, we reminisce over the goofy or exciting things from days long past.
This is great and made me look at people differently
I love it too, for the stories I find especially striking I keep count if I can. Often things can be retold even 4 times before the person will begin to clock that you already know. I begin to tell the story along with them.
@cridus_ I think there is a spectrum of how good people are at changing and renewing their repertoire of stories. But I think the maximum absolute number must be 3-4 months' worth of stories at any given time
This isn’t sad. This is heartwarming. Despite no one having something to say, they still are enjoying the company of each other
Except for Bryce, he'd rather be watching TV
I remember walking through my kitchen once and seeing an ant and thinking “hey, this doesn’t belong in here.” So I let it crawl on my hand and took it outside to be free again. That’s the only story I have.
thanks for sharing. can I use it and pretend it was me?
Thats a really good story. Its really nice. I'm glad the ant was moved to where it belongs.
You’re lucky your only story is a great one, some people don’t even have that
bruh if I see ants in my kitchen, I get the vacuum cleaner and swoop all of them up so they die. They will come back... trust me... but that's the only thing I can do about it. (no srsly they way too often in our houses here)
@DerFinder you should feel honored to have such loyal friends! I don't have any ants.....😢
This is why it’s so important to have a repertoire of grunts, squeaks, whistles and general non-verbal vocalisations. I’ve seen so many friendships fall apart because they were unable to communicate through mooing when words began to fail them. Truly tragic.
literally all my friendships and the groups my friends are in are held together by me coming in once in awhile and breaking the ice with primitive screeching and howling, they all love it, but because they wont do it themselves they use me to hold the ecosystem together. im so tired. but i have the lungs of a gorilla now.
Hahahhahaha^
Moo.
@@sunnyd9884it's people like you that hold up the world. Godspeed, you madlad
It's how our cave-dwelling ancestors survived their social situations before language was invented. When our modern sensibilities fail us, it's time to look to the past. Very wise.
Joel, I love you, but you can't complain about not having anything to say, and then just not tell Dax "bless you" after he sneezes...
Our friend group made an agreement three years ago to save our energy on “bless you”s, a huge mistake I’ve learned
This feels like something you'd see in an art museum. A few hard benches in three quarters of a room would complete the experience
For the full experience, book a guide that shows you around, stops about half-way with his words slowly petering out and then you all stand there in silence for about three minutes.
I think I speak for everyone when I say: Trent, please tell us more about this rock
My first though! His smile said a lot but I need to know more
Wasn't it just a piece of asphalt 😂
@@esrjhgbweouringrsg OH LOL 😂
That moment when you've seen the rock, you've held the rock, you've tossed it in the air, but you still want to know more about the rock, its backstory
I think I also speak for everyone when I say: Trent, please tell us if your girlfriend really threw up at the funko museum
Love all the shots of everyone wordlessly staring at the camera this is a good one
It's like a bunch of album covers by The Doors
“The end is built into the beginning” was my favorite part. I love that you were able to stick that Synecdoche, New York quote into the video. I also loved all the album cover looking shots. This was a great video as always Joel!
I recently discovered a similar problem like this in my friend group and found a simple solution: gang violence. The friend group already had the loyalty and our criminal activity gave us plenty of stories to discuss. We lost a couple of real ones along the way though, but we gained many beautiful stories to talk about later ❤️❤️❤️
Whatt!?

“You're not trying to capture reality. You're trying to capture a photograph of reality.” - Stanley Kubrick
The fuck this even mean
Having a moment of silence with the boys is underrated.
We get Zen with the boys, we calm the mind with the boys, we feel peace and serenity with the boys
HOW WOULD YOU KNOW, YOU WEREN'T THERE! Hahahaha loser, your friends hate you! Just kidding. Boy this was a mean comment.
Not with my friends tbh
Woooh! Alex Martens!
I appreciate the message, I’m just always excited to see you in comment sections
One of the most powerful experiences I ever had was sitting in complete silence with a few of my best friends around a campfire for 5-6 minutes. It was intense. Drugs were involved.
@@Benry1 what drugs tho?
I once found a rock that looked like a penguin, coloring and everything. That was pretty sweet. Decades and many moves later it is nowhere to be found. I miss that rock
it probably found its way back home
Trent has such a great ability to convey tragedy. I sense Shakespeare in his future.
this is what it feels like when a group chat slowly dies out
😢 too many times, man. Too many times
Can't wait to see which one of these group shots becomes the album cover
3:39 Trent Lenkarski's new record, "Music 2"
Sitting’s fine for me, too. Well said, Matty K.
I love how the music swelled to drown out the one person who actually tried and did have a few things to say. Beautiful, inevitable.
This feels like some stock footage of friends sitting around with stock music playing in the background carrying out the most stock monologue in their heads while producing some pretty decent stock emotional responses.
Would their conversation be a stock exchange?
This background music is actually my alarm clock sound and I was very tense throughout the whole video. thank you for that
A lot of people with a phone that played mp3s probably made that mistake back in the day. "Oh let me set [insert song here] as my alarm, it'd be awesome to wake up to that!" Three weeks later, you can't stand the tune. 😆
@@Good_Horseyyup, never put yourself favorite songs as your ringtones!
@@Good_Horseythe trick I do is audio edit to fade in slowly instead of being hit with it immediately
For love of god whats the name of this music?
@@u4yree the name of the music is: tn trn tn tn, tn tn trn tn tn, tururururu
I can't figure out if I found this tragic or really heart warming
Both. Both is good.
It’s heartwarming for me. Tragic would be them drifting apart at the end.
They chose comfortable, friendly silence instead
Yes
All of my relationships inevitably evolve into "We were all just hanging out drinking some water."
I really loved all the framing of these shots. How they just slowly amped up from Slightly Pointed to Extremely Deliberate
Joel, guys, omg.
I watched this on my TV, ran upstairs to get my phone to leave a comment, realized my phone would take forever, came back downstairs and got on the computer to leave this for you. (you can steal that anecdote and blow it up a little for your next hangout, if you need to. I got you.)
This is a sublime masterpiece. The colors, the music, the pacing, the delivery, the fashion.. it's impeccable. It's poignant.
This video punched me in the gut and here I am thanking and praising it.
Let me emphasize again, in particular, the costumes. Trent's fabulous shirt. Your fits are always classy. Matty's ensemble (great hair too). Everyone looks fantastic, and how couldn't they with such stellar cinematography?
Bravo. Elevating "Tim & Eric" vibes to absurd indie film levels. Might have made me miss the bus (oh, there's another potential story, leaving a YT comment and missing the bus to therapy, sweet)
Aww thank you!! Everyone did so great in this one, there’s an art to staring hopelessly that can’t be understated. I hope you still have some more stories to tell, because if this one is anything to go off of you’ve got some gold on you. Happy you didn’t miss the bus. Have a great day!
Tim and Eric are not this good, it's probably because they're Hollywood hacks
there's so much here to unpack. you could write a screenplay about this one in the same vein of I Don't Feel At Home In This World Anymore. go ahead.
Don't forget the camerawork! Those shots would make Wes Anderson weep joy
chill, creep
This is literally true. My best friend and I have actually run out of things to say after about 12 years. We just regurgitate the same topics over and over again now which is kind of hilarious 😂
Have you tried going to the zoo?
I create new memories from gaming then share that
Very much Trixie and Katya vibes
This implies that everyone has perfect memory of everything they've talked about in 10 years :D
Haha, nobody could remember that. No, we take notes and occasionally go back to the audio logs.
"the end is built into the beginning" ok kaufman
"Joel I really wanna just take a bunch of beautifully arranged shots of us looking moody"
"Yeah me too obviously, I should really come up with a way to make it work in a video"
This is so sad, what a terrible thing to happen to these people.
The sadness is the price you pay for the cool rock and car stories that you will hear two or three times, maybe.
@@gabiru6980 truly a Faustian bargain
Nothing another pandemic couldn't fix.
They’ve reached the “Uma Thurman in that Pulp Fiction scene at the Jack Rabbit Slim’s restaurant where she shares a comfortable silence with Vincent Vega” stage of the friendship and I’m happy for them.
I've been a part of a close friend group for over 10 years now. We haven't run out of things to say yet, but the signs are there. Thank you for bringing awareness to this, Joel.
Camera work was amazing in this one, good job!
Loved the Synecdoche New York "the end is built into the beginning" line
One thing I always love about Joel's videos is that they cannot be replicated. There is no punchline that someone else can reduce the video to; the full skit must be experienced in its entirety to be appreciated, and I have yet to see another artist who can come up with video premises like this.
The raindrop really adds alot to this sketch.
"I wish the TV was on right now." I felt that moment lol.
All the posed shots near the end (insofar as every shot was posed) were very nicely arranged
Did each member write their own lines? The Trent dialogue just feels so hilariously Trent-typical haha, and Dax makes a "water drinking" callback
Dax sneezes into his hand 💔
This is so emotional
This artistically the peak of online entertainment
nothing involving dax flames is remotely entertaining or funny
@@SadMissouriwtf
@@SadMissouriwrong
Correct
😂@@SadMissouri
Chopin’s Raindrop playing over this is just 😭😭😭
Guys we are IN the Haver/Flame Era right now. Let's make sure we all truly appreciate being here to witness it first hand. These are the good times.
Song is: "Chopin - Raindrop Prelude Op. 28 No. 15" for those wondering. Same song used in the Halo 3 "Believe" campaign.
What was the music for those who were not wondering?
@@notbloodylikely4817 Eiffel 65 - "I'm blue"
That did look like a cool rock
This is the definition of "simple, but effective"
And with this we are privileged to witness Joel shift into his freeform jazz phase. As all artists do eventually.
Every other shot is framed like you're watching an interrogation or you're the one being interrogated. It's great
When a Joel video starts with "Well, it finally happened.", you know there's going to be 3 things:
1. A classical score
2. Voice over of introspection/self-reflection
3. And lingering, slightly slo-mo shots
And I'm here for all it!
name of that score?
Chopin - Raindrop
See the description for the full name
Whenever a Joel Haver video starts and there's classical music playing, you know its going to be a classic.
The greatest thing about a best friend is the ability to be bored together. Not doing anything. Just hanging out. Looking at the sealing. Watching paint dry. If you can be bored with someone indefinetly, it's a best friend.
I just wish Bryce could get to tell one anecdote. Everyone deserves at least one anecdote in their life, damnit.
Maybe everyone deserves one, but you can’t force them to tell it, nor can you expect them to tell you why they won’t tell it. Honestly, it’s sometimes better to not divulge that one has an anecdote because there’s often some freeloader demanding that you share it. “Get your own,” I say.
I'm honestly really impressed by Joel's artistic narration abilities. He seems to have been really blossoming recently!
The last thing you could say remained unsaid and that took me from laughing to sad.
The dramatic posing 😭

“Dax has some lofty ambitions” is such a good line
In less than 4 minutes, yall have completely nailed and massively surpassed the aesthetic that Wes Anderson has been trying to perfect for decades. Well done boys, maybe you can talk about that.
as someone who never knows what to talk about, this is how I almost always feel like. especially with people who I know probably don't have my same interests.
1:02 I love that the music comes back to its initial motif when it focuses back to the group to give someone else the spotlight
there is something nice about accepting friendship entropy like this
This video was just an excuse for everyone to show off their coolest shirt.
Bryce segment broke me. Well done. I love you, guys.
I’ve definitely been in situations like this where I wished the tv was on
This is why ever friend-group eventually devolves into a sort of book club for recent events/media.
"Oh did you watch x it's pretty good," and "did you hear about y, that's crazy."
Them just staring actually sent me to the ground.
This is honestly what a certain time of life is like during marriage. You don’t want to talk about work because you don’t want to relive it, and the same goes for talking about dealing with the young children who spent all day fighting with each other, and then there’s really nothing else.
'Lofty' ambitions. I see what you did there.
"We were all hanging out, drinking some water." In the category of things peoplenever ever say
I love you guys
This video really is a lesson on how important it is to lie to even your closest friends and family
How big is Thet Woofus?
If he’s anything like a yent, you could always see if your dad can buy him a tent.
@@timmiller1 thanks for the inquiry, Timm Iller. It’s a big ole sumbitch. I’ll have to check with my pappy to see if he can spare the cappy
What did I just read?
@@Merilirem the world around you reveals clues, you’ve just encountered two witty ass dudes
“We finally ran out of things to say”
Already funny
I like the shots of everyone looking at the camera
Its like their waiting for us the viewer to invite something new and different into their conversationless lives
Seeing how wholesome and kind everyone you spend your time with is at one point made me kind of wish I was your friend.
Then I realized that wasn't actually what I wanted. I wanted a wholesome friend group in my life that would make people want to make a wholesome friend group of theirs. And that friend group would inspire others too.
I really really really love the video work for this one Joel, so many great shots. I especially liked the shots accompanying your noting on Dax' ambitions and the one where cool hair guy was just sitting alone on the couch
"I wish the TV was on right now" - every single experience meeting someone for the first time
This is probably my favourite ever video of you that I ever watched. Ever. Even better than the animated ones. Ever
Joel is the only creator that makes me think about the analytics of a video as I watch it. "Is this the 5 second clip that grabs the most attention?"
"Is this 5 second awkward silence the place where people drop off when they don't get the joke?"
Why do I always have this inner monologue when I watch one of Joel's videos? Your videos hit different, man. Love them!
Interesting, i just get lost in their beauty!
From my perspective, it's kind of a good thing that they all got to experience what everyone had to say. Most friend groups end long before everyone said what they wanted to say to each other. It's somewhat nice to know that there's literally nothing left to say or be said... It's the same feeling you get when you completely squeeze out that last bit of toothpaste. There may not be any more toothpaste but there's also no regrets.
“I want to go hang gliding”
“Now Dax, Dax has some lofty ambitions”
Some of your greatest cinematography yet
Thanks Joel, for expressing the depth of our minds
why did this video feel like it last 15 minutes?
I want a guy to look at me the way Trent looked at that rock.
The cinematography of this is simply stunning.
God, I miss the days of silent, water drinking parties, long before things went so far down hill to where they are now.
I've never seen a Wes Anderson film, but from what I've heard, this looks like one of them
This oddly helped my anxiety in a meaningful way
Love the jump cuts to family photo type arrangements of the fellows
The freeze frame at 1:10 is truly art.
I came into the comments section fully expecting to have one or two things to comment...
...
"I wish the TV was on right now."
We have ALL been there.
Those "model shoot" scenes were amazing, they end up looking pretty artistic
dax’s joke reveal when???
🌚
You guys could talk about how the coffee table is shaped like a BEAN hahah haha that’s insane
some would say that table goes insaneo style
That was last week. They got nearly three minutes out of it because Joel remembered some beans he'd eaten once and not ever talked about. They had chillies and some sort of herb, maybe oregano? Probably not oregano.
They already made that joke a few time when that table was still new.
That’s peak friendship. You don’t have to say anything anymore.
"Maybe someday he'll accomplish them and he'll have more to say." Beautifully said.
Well this is awkward... I seem to have run out of things to comment 😔
Joel Haver, cer spence, etc. sketches feel incredibly neurodivergent in a way I can't quite describe
Probably projection.
@@ComradeKoopa If being able to relate to comedy and connect with it in a personal way is projection then yeah, sure
Dallas looking like a chad and a half
The editing of the Raindrop Prelude was masterfully done for the scene
