    You are totally back on your game. This is what you do best...making the utterly absurd sublime. The potatoes on a stick wearing tin hats being caressed by monster claws was so surreal I took a screen shot and made it my wallpaper. Forget asmr ( well actually please don't) but you should audition for Saturday night live or something. Your creativity and originality are awesome. Thanks also for such consistent videos. Can't believe you do this and work and be a dad and husband, but thanks for sharing this part of yourself with all of us. P.s. I cheered with the return of your now famous nut sack.

That, In Living Colour, Monty Python, all those types of comedies have really inspired me probably more than anything else. I try to balance everything, work, family, etc. but I cut into my sleep more often, though I am trying to balance that too. Anyway, thanks again for watching and for especially cheering at my nutsack!

    So I usually listen to ASMR in the background while i do various assorted activities, not paying much attention to the words or sounds. Just letting the auto play run wild and enjoying them as pleasant white noise. I pop the video up somewhere in the middle to mess about with my browser and get to see the randomly glorious asmr combo of tinfoil hat equipped potatoes being softly caressed by monster hands. Had myself a good chuckle. Stay gold ER..........stay gold....

      @flameshoter6 9 лет назад +2

      Gonzbol in one of heatherfeather's videos, she mentions that she gets rarely tingled by her own videos. In her example, "it is like tickling yourself." But i wonder, if an asmr creator uses tools/ objects but does not speak, will it have the same effect? I think it would be hard for the body to remember what actions were done from start to finish- but that creates the question, if they could only listen to it once some time after making the video, would it have a greater possibility of triggering the creator?

    I know you probably won't ever see this but this as well as your Margaret series have seriously impressed me.

Always imaginative, bizarre in the best way, and maybe just the right amount of unsettling. You have a serious talent for what you do here and I just want to say thank you for what you bring to the ASMR community. Keep it creepy. :)

    Poem I just wrote =D
    We sit down after a long day
    Take our shoes off,
    Throw them away.
    Sigh a little, lay back and say
    "What asmr video should I watch today?"
    Our heads pound, our brains twirl
    Our muscles tighten twist, and squirm
    In years past we would have stayed awake.
    And waited until the next even worse day
    But now, this community that we all share
    Brings peace to our souls, and less loss to our hair.
    We have a constant spark of luck
    No matter what we do,
    No matter if we mess up.
    We have a feeling that many people don't.
    We can sleep anywhere, relax any time.
    And leave much of our stress far behind.
    We don't have to freak out and grind our teeth.
    We just listen, and then curl and sleep.

    Dear Sir,
    No-one is happier than us that you are finally giving vegetation the credit we truly deserve.
    We just feel this video was a little spud-heavy, and in a society that already values potatoes so highly, we can't help but feel a little disappointed at your lack of diversity.
    We're not interested in tokenism either.
    So don't think of including a happy, but ultimately pointless broccoli in your next video, who dies within the first 4 minutes.
    We're asking for a wider variety of veggies, because ultimately Marrow Luther Bean had a dream. And that dream was salad.

    the potato has a really special sound quality that only a potato can provide.. very earthy tone. the tin foil is a nice touch to give it a more metallic and bright balancing effect.. for the best sound I recommend preheating an over to 350 degrees and baking for 11 hours..
