His achilles heel is that he can be easily persuaded into an existential crisis at any moment
LoL! That seems to be an ongoing theme of his
Yet somehow, still wholesome. Like a homemade banana muffin with chocolate chips. Not super good for you, but not super bad. And if it's just out of the oven, the chocolate chips are still warm and gooey.
Like when a kid says something to you. Like you look sad or some shit like that. Little bastards
If that ain't me tho
For your crisis
That trombone bit reminds me of when my physics teacher said that the mark of a gentleman is the ability to play the trombone but having the courtesy not to.
Could be on a shirt. What a slogan. Lol
I'm gonna say this the next time someone asks me to play sousaphone on the subway.
Lmfao
i still cant decide if he actually hates his life or its just how he talks
Not quite hate, just a suppressed dissatisfaction born out of the paranoia of what might have been.
Chill i
It can be tough to discern the subtle yet poignant distinction between a deadpan science man and dead inside man crying from within and longing to get back on the 'bone.
Playing the trombone just isn't something he wants to do anymore.
I think he's actually fine but all the gaslighting by old acquaintance made him unsure.
Joel, the quality of this content really has gone up immensely over the past year. People take it for granted I know. But there are some of us who understand how difficult it must have been to launch yourself into space like this, let alone operate a camera in zero g. We truly appreciate it. You must have spent years preparing for this role, I mean I'm left wondering how long it took you to evolve the ability of breathing in the vacuum of space? The average viewer just does not realize the kind of effort it takes to make these videos, but know that there are some of us who really appreciate the work you put in. Keep it up man
I didn’t consider any of those things. Thank you, J J, for giving me a deeper perspective on Mister Haver’s body of work.
@@jeremytitus9519 It's just crazy to me how people hate Joel so much, that they've even been trying to deny he ever went to space at all. They're trying to say he faked it. Probably a lot of overlap with moon landing deniers and flat earthers, there's a lot of stupid people online these days. I mean there's literal video evidence, what else do you need?
Dog bless you Joel Haver
I found this guy when his Lanky sketch went viral and he's quickly become my favourite comedian on youtube. maybe top 5 channels. Dude is consistant and hilarious.
Dude it's not that hard to go to space. William shatner did it. Also, just friggin hold your breath while you're out there. I'm not impressed by the new content rather I'm impressed he's been hiding his tromboning skill for this long. If I could bone like a champ I'd be trombombing like a damn kamikaze.
@@jpl7693 can’t believe he’s been holding out on us like that. Does he even care for us at all?
I laughed when his friend spun away like he was part of the show and the editors planned it even though he just randomly popped in unannounced.
What if the entire crew was in on it, and this was a ploy to get the narrator to take a break and consider if this is what he wants to do
I think the narrator guy has a good point.
Your childhood passions don't define you. We should get a broad perspective of the world and our place in it, if we just focus on the nostalgic past, we cannot progress and only live for ourself.
Yes, why is it only those dreams we find in childhood which are wholesome? Why can't we find new dreams and passions as adults? Why can't we be more in love with something we discovered at 37 as someone who "found" their dream at 15? We aren't being disingenuous for pursuing that and letting older dreams go. We can evolve and change and that is a beautiful thing about being human.
You're absolutely right. That's why I got into scat porn
@@DaneGilly ah, the duality of man
@@DaneGilly idk, sounds kinda like nostalgia to me
@@DaneGilly 11/10
I appreciate the continuity between the passing space debris and the camera angles. You never broke the 180 rule and I appreciate that.
What is that?
@@CharChar2121 (In case the link I posted for your answer didn't work, look up studiobinder 180 rule--it's this kind of complicated for my brain film rule where the camera always stays to "one side" of the two speakers so one of them always slightly faces right and one slightly faces left, to keep things consistent)
I could watch this character spin around in space while talking for hours
YEP
"Well, here I am." (Objects In Space, Firefly)
What a time to be alive!
Scientific FACTS
That seems to be a standard science video theme...
Jumping around a lot, playing the trombone. This sounds like a complicated way to say "was in a ska band back in high school". It's OK. I remember what it was like being in high school in 1998 as well. No need to worry, you're exactly where you want to be right now and if you ever get nostalgic for that again you can easily just pick it up.
I used to play in a punk band(Disgruntled) it was like my first band I was like 15 or something. And my best friend the guitar player ended up starting another band and it was like a ska Punk thing(Dead on Tuesdays) and I was so fucking angry at him LOL
The ska revival revival is set to happen any day now!
@@rinoz47 it's already happened, check out JER
And now goldfinger is stuck in my head
…pick it up pick it up pick it up pick it up
LOL the way he writes is so funny
"You used to friggin toot n' root like a magician on that 'bone."
That's all Nick. These are improvised, all the more impressive.
Are you still doing the jumping? LOL
as someone who rooted and tooted the trombone i would be overjoyed if someone actually remembered that i played it in high school
I really hope someone remembers you rootin’ and tootin’ too 🤣
We'll give you a 'bone
I remember, you just told me.
Now anyone who sees this comment thread remembers that you played trombone in high school.
"He puts his mouth to that thing and he just goes a-blowin'"
Your highschool friends are sad to see that you've lost the traits that they loved, while you're sad to see that they were all your friends saw in you. Not me though, I'm okay I think.

@@beardbreeder5886 "2hu"? tHaT's NoT hOw yoU ProNOUNcE iT!
At least he had friends
@@GrowingViolet I still remember "what anime is this?"
I mean really, goin from the ‘bone to the cosmos was a logical step. They’re actually quite similar.
Both are infinite in their mysteries,
both are sights of unbounded beauty, both have enthralled mankind for centuries and both of them dont fit in my butt no matter how much crisco i use
If brute force doesn't work you aren't using enough of it.
What you want to be using is ghee. That’ll get the bone where it belongs in no time.
Not sure if it works for cosmoses.
And the sounds, dude! Don't forget about the sounds!
“Goin from the ‘bone to the cosmos” how 2001: A Space Odyssey started
Had me in the first half
What are the odds of running into each other in the vast reaches of space?! Seems like a clear sign that it’s time to pick up that trombone and jump back into old habits
I like to think this really got to him and it affects his work. Starts to creep into his narration. "This is a black hole, terrifying in its power, warping the space-time continuum in a shape much like the bell of a trombone. Just as the hopes and dreams of childhood cannot escape the disappointment of adulthood, nothing can escape a black hole. Even if you had the most powerful trampoline in the world, you couldn't jump out."
Hahaha
Hope next time we see this fellow he's back on the 'bone living his best life
Or doing whatever makes him happy.
Part 2 where he is trying to convince his boss to introduce more elements of trombone and jumping into the show
You hate to see 'em fallin' off the 'bone.
i like the weird aspect ratio to give the video that 15yr old documentary in youtube feel
4:3 ratio = "weird aspect ratio"
I went to the same school as him. He was in the school orchestra and man, he could play a mean trombone. But he was some kind of narration prodigy, so the science documentary guys got him as soon as he got his diploma.
I see, thanks for telling the full story!
Pfft always gotta be someone in the comments pretending they know the celeb for clout
I knew a guy in elementary who loved animals, and I always felt he'd end up working with them. Unfortunately, he was bullied a bit for being odd. I know how the random guy in this video felt, because I've always wondered if that kid could've become a big name on TV or something. You don't see that level of passion often.
Was that guy... you?
No. I was weird in my own ways.
@@bowmanencore But maybe the guy from elementary is happy doing something else now. Maybe he doesn't want to be a big name in television--I know a lot of people who like animals would hate working in film. Maybe he is happy just to have a dog and the bugs outside his window, not a societal definition of success.
"We'll get you a trombone."
Damn take him up on that offer. Trombones are expensive!
This one was bizarrely close to home for me …
Were you really good at jumping?
It's the 'bone, isn't it? It has to be the 'bone.
I LOVE the continuity in the background of the shot/reverse shot.
makes it s tier
This has the classic Joel Haver vibes, love it!
I laughed and cried in just over two minutes. Joel does it again. Bravo sir
You okay back out there mate?
@@qlpa96 I know right...
I like that Joel is just manually swiveling his chair around with many tiny steps.
Some say his chair’s still spinning to this very day…
Wow so funny, Matt. SO funny. What a classic and funny line. Good one.
This hit me in a very heavy way. I cannot speak for anyone but myself, though I would say I have found myself distanced from my friends from High School, and it certainly hurts. I have no friends now. I never took the time to MAKE time for them, a failing that haunts me still. Too many times I felt obligated to make time for my friends, all the while still wishing for time for myself.
Now all I have is time for myself, and I miss my friends dearly. It's strange, how life takes and changes one. I wish that the person that I had been then had the knowledge and wisdom that have been gained so painfully from the person that I am now. And even now I regret that in the future I shall know more than I have known, and shall have done differently what I have done.
Thank you for your videos
If it makes you feel, most people lose contact after high school. You didn’t reach out to them, but they didn’t reach out to you. There’s a rare few who will stay in close contact. Basically, without being literally forced together, that happens. You’ll still make friends, but it will never quite be like high school where you had a group. But you’ll also developer relationships closer and deeper than you’d ever think with the friends you will make now.
I vibe so hard with this... Feel ya bro. Hope you are well. Message me if you wana possibly make a new Friend. I play bari sax 🎷
No need for regret, regret is like pulling up all the pain from the past just so you can re-live it. Enjoy your freedom and explore, it's really not that hard to do alone so long as you're confident ✓
It does get harder to make and keep friends as we get older, but it’s never impossible and the main cost is effort and time, both are things that don’t require money!
At forty years old I can barely even remember the names and the faces of people I went to school with.
You’ll get over it as you age
You would think that he of all people would realize that somewhere in the infinite cosmos, there is a version of Earth where he _is_ a high jump world record-holding professional trombonist.
I think astronomers think about that a lot less than most people. They are more serious about actual science.
yeah that's not how the universe works
@@danielroca9547 If the universe is infinite, or sufficiently large that it becomes statistically unlikely that there isn't another planet out there almost exactly like Earth, then yes that's exactly how the universe works. It might not be that large, though. We can't really say how far it extends beyond the observable bubble we can see.
@@phaedrus000 you can't just say your random thing is possible because everything is possible. There is nothing that points to a clone of Earth. I don't know string theory but that ain't it brother.
@@writer5790 It's not string theory, it's statistics. There is a finite number of ways you can arrange a set of atoms. So if the universe is infinite, any possible pattern must repeat itself an infinite number of times in an infinite number of variations.
As a trombone player whose trombone broke and can't afford to replace it, this hits way more than some random joke should. I think I'd actually cry if a bunch of old pals offered to get me the trombone to get me going, again.
Edit: Since this comment, I've gotten ~400/600. I'm really busting butt all day and night, and really appreciate the support!
Man, and ironically what better time for a sad trombone sting than breaking a beloved trombone. I hope second chair had you covered.
We gotta get you bonin' again buddy.
Let’s get this guy rootin’ and tootin’ again
Hey buddy, it's unlikely that we went to the same high school, but we're all fellow classmates in some cosmological manner. Let's get you that trombone. How much does it cost to get a guy rootin' and tootin' again anyway?
Better to just leave it be, before things get worse.
Joel does it again. I’m laughing and I’m heartbroken
I want this to happen in the middle of a serious documentary and then they just move on with the film like nothing happened
"I didn't give up on my dreams. I think."
that hit hard
this is one of my favorite Joel Haver Chucklers
As someone who also used to play trombone in high school, I can confirm that you will be subjected to mini existential crises like this from time to time
He plays normal people with like such reverence that I can't help but enjoy what he gives us
Respect the classic RUclips screen... more wholesome and fulfilling in an innocence kind of way
As someone who randomly picked trombone in high school at the last minute with no forethought whatsoever, this attacked me personally.
come on guys he's totally fulfilled with what he's doing!
CLASSIC Nick Shultz-induced existential crisis.
How can the creativity well of this man never dry out?!?!?! 😭
I love you man!
Yea he reminds me of Gus Johnson before he went crazy and beat his pregnant girlfriend
Clearly, Roger is on a lifelong journey exploring the universe by investigating the adverbs of life through motion. Whether it was the in and out of the trombone or the up and down of the jumping or going around and around while pondering the mysteries of life Roger was going places in one place.
Sounds like this guy wants to play the trombone
the t-bone for short
The continuity of the asteroid and planet between the reverse cuts is the rug that ties this together.
Now that he mentions it, Joel does strike me as a powerful jumper
At 0:45 I really thought that asteroid was going to hit them and the next 2 minutes were going to be the Patreon names lol
I can't stand it when people try to make it seem like someone has a problem or aren't happy about what they're doing....like they're being highly manipulative and forcing one to question themselves for no reason and not even listening to them.... almost reminds of that song institutionalized, by Suicidal Tendencies, all he wanted was a Pepsi and his parents just go off on him about being on drugs and don't even listen to what he's saying.
Spinning slowly in a chair floating through the cosmos like an astrophysicist is so much more fulfilling than playing trombone and jumping. Don't listen to your old friend, he doesn't know you anymore, he never wrote, never called, he wasn't there to see you transition into an adult.... spin away, space cowboy.
LoL! I'm just kidding, people!
But you're right. All the astrophicisit is to the other guy is a gimmick that stoped been gimmicky. Imposing his own fears and unfulfilled dreams on innocent guy who just try to be a good narrator, while knowing better everything and never listing back. The past can be a source of good memories, but shouldn't be defining factor for the future self. The sad part is that this "friendly presence" shaken his world view. Hopefully, only for a moment.
As someone who gave up becoming a professional drummer and became a social worker because of the stability I feel this
“You look so sad.”
“No.”
I don't know how you made me laugh and feel depressed at the same time...well done Joel
As someone who watches science documentaries all the time, this one really made me laugh!
"You should be doing THIS instead of THIS."
I lost count of how many times I heard that phrase.
"We'll get ya a trampoline!" was such a wholesome line
I relate to this on a very deep level. I'm not joking.
Fuck responsibility and say "no" more often
That's how he gets you.
Its k man. You can be the high jumping trombonist we know you can be.
"I didn't abandon my dreams, I think ... No, I didn't abandon my dreams."
That Freudian slip
This has actually happened to me. For me it was the way I used to play trumpet. I had very happily put it down and love what I do, but an old high school friend was so insistent that I shouldn’t have given up “my” dream. They were would not accept any narrative other than I was miserable and needed to try getting back into it. Genuinely made me doubt myself for a couple of hours. Then I said fuck them and haven’t thought of it again since.
For some reason I thought this was just gonna be a bit about him narrating everything his friend was doing in a grand and existential way, which does sound funny, but instead it was this very personal little breakdown of a possibly sad narrator and that's why I love this channel
Whenever this guy is in the vid its always top tier
"You use to frickin toot in root like a magician on that bone. We all knew you were going places with that with the bone"
Heh 69 likes..Nice
Nice.. Respect for all keeping it there
In the UK we have a science documentary guy called Brian Cox who used to be keyboardist in a commercially successful pop band. I'm guessing Joel doesn't know this as I don't think Cox is known outside the UK, but it is a bizarre case of art imitating life.
This channel makes me feel less alone in this world.
LOVE when you bring nartharie in !!!
I can’t believe he would be so mean to Nick :(
Holy shit I missed this friend. Please tell me he did the audio for this video.
I absolutely adore the continuity of the Asteroid and Earth passing them by!
"You were such a prolific jumper" is a beautiful legacy to leave behind.
Wow Greg has no respect for the exploration of the cosmos
I was at work a few months ago and this guy I went to middle school with happened to stop by with his friends. We weren't close or anything back in the day, but he recognized me, and his reaction was something like "Hey! Good to see you! How's life?" And I said everything was alright and he said "Hey man, don't worry about this job, you'll find something better alright? You're better than this place, you'll find something!" as he walked away.
He said it in front of my coworkers, and I just thought Jesus Christ this guy has no self awareness whatsoever. That was so incredibly rude and condescending, whether he has the capacity to understand it or not. I liked that job and I liked that workplace, I never thought it was "beneath" me to be there, but I do remember that particular kid was definitely born into a wealthy family, and I immediately recognized it as a tone-deaf, classist micro-aggression from a dude who would be ashamed to do what I did, but wasn't smart enough to realize that to working class people, having a working class job isn't shameful.
As soon as he was gone I turned to my coworkers and told them I wasn't "too good" to be working there and that I was proud to work alongside them. The dude wasn't trying to be an asshole, he thought he was being encouraging, so at best, he's a clueless rich asshole with good intentions who accidentally revealed that he looked down on me and my coworkers as a member of a higher economic class that can't relate to working class people whatsoever.
Sorry, that was long, but this video totally reminded me of that. Maybe Carl Sagan here does love being in space documentaries, but having some outsider loudly tell him that he looks unfulfilled and unhappy and that he should've taken his life in another direction must be pretty upsetting and honestly infuriating.
Thank you for sharing this. Sometimes I'm afraid that I'll get that reply when I tell people I work for Amazon. But I have to remember I wanted this job, and I enjoy it, and when I'm ready to start my business I should never look down on anyone.
Sounds to me like you're stagnating in your comfort zone, and he knew you weren't living up to your potential. By the time you're 20, most people have roughly 2600 weeks left to live (until age 71), give or take a few hundred. How many more weeks are you going to spend in that job?
@@gooel Sounds to me like you're focusing on creating narratives about others to fit criticisms you desire to make, as a means of avoiding actual introspection about whatever traits in yourself your values aren't in harmony with. By the time you're 30, most people have at least kind of figured out that this is a normal human propensity and started working on their issues instead of projecting. How many weeks do you plan to continue borrowing others' lives to be interested in, in lieu of getting your own?
This is great stuff OP. I'm glad you shared it. People really need to learn that presumptuousness is pretty much always a bad idea, and good intentions don't negate the harmful insulting implications that can arise, even when the speaker is presuming things they _think_ can only be gracious to presume.
You reminded me of a similar story from my life. When I was growing up, my mom and I got our hair cut by this great hairdresser for a long while (she became a family friend) and she owned her own great little shop leased inside a big nice hotel. She passionately loved the work and was a truly gifted artist in her medium. She was thrilled to make people feel amazing about themselves every day, and had a saturated clientele of happy regulars, so she never really had to put up with significant bs from anyone.
But for some reason, she did regularly get hotel guests and other non-regulars rotating through who would ask her what she was working towards next/what she wanted to do for a "real" career. Man that's so messed up. I hadn't thought about that story directly in ages, but it's always been a powerful influence on me. From what she told my mom, she'd generally just tell people she's happy and loves her work and it treats her great, and I'm sure sometimes people learned from that, but I suppose many also probably just didn't get it.
I really admire the dignity with which you reacted to that guy's statement and how immediately you cleared up any weirdness in the air for your coworkers. The way you interpreted and responded to that whole situation is just very honorable and sincere. So often, I find my peers and I in the working-class-and-poorer spheres get surprised by certain naive and/or shameful attitudes we see in some wealthier people, to the point of being embarrassed for them and even sorry for them. Or, as my family like to say in one of our many cliches-with-a-twist lol ... "I wept because I had no shoes -- until I met a man who had no class!"
@@ItsAsparageese If you're happy being poor, that's great!
Sitting around quietly at night, staring at things and then talking about them - what a great job. Astronomers have cornered paradise.
He sounds as he would like to play the trombone.
Relatable, bittersweet. I'm trying to not give up on my dreams of music and comedy either. Just released my first animation in years in your ebsynth style if you have time to check it out
Going for that Deep McGurk / Bob Belcher voice. By the way, if you haven't watched any "Home Movies" episodes... they're all fantastic. It's literally about a kid making movies with his friends.
I couldn't agree more... Bob's burgers is pretty good, but home movies is, my shit
Literally the best way I can think of to kick off July, having an existential cris- er watching a Joel Haver video
I love the set and stage, how the characters enter and exit. Classic shakespearean performance and presentation! Jolly goot
The worst thing about old friends from way back is that they can read you easily. This guy knew right away that Roger needs the Bone and Roger knows his friend knows Roger needs the Bone. Life is a bitch
😔
Not even 3 minutes and more emotional depth than a blockbuster.
he really tooted that bone back in his day!
You used to freaking toot and root like a magician on that bone
A true comedian who understands real comedy, or tragedy. Buddy's going places in the next 10 years.
these videos can make me laugh cringe and almost cry at the same time... such quality work
"What you 𝙣𝙚𝙚𝙙 is the bone."
Nartharie's delivery and characters are always my favorite
Compare yourself to who you were yesterday, not to how someone else is today.
Man, the Tom&Eric of RUclips in front our eyes, beautiful. The absolute swagger on that chair turn too, damn dude.
I'm happy to see Nick Schultz (nartharie) in this. I only discovered Joel maybe 6-8 months ago, and didn't stumble upon content with Nick until the last couple of weeks. I saw the upload dates and thought perhaps the stuff where Nick was acting and doing sound/music was from a bygone era, that there may have been a burned bridge or someone had moved on in some way. As a musician who loves psychedelia, I relate with nartharie and I'm just glad to see that these two are still working together, or at least that Joel is still releasing content featuring Nick.
We need to start a GoFundMe to get that guy a trombone!
Thank you for another gem, Joel!
I love your videos, they're really touching, honest, intimate and human, the way art should be
My dude drifting around space would make a great screensaver
I love your content. Thank you.
Science guy should do what he loves. I hope he finds happiness.
How do you always make these feel so deeply emotional at the end
Ouch... that hit different. That's too relatable man. I need more.
we notice the care you took to make the background switch for the perspectives joel
i love that Joel uploads 4:3 videos
my monitor is 4:3, and it feels so good watching his videos
this is the most amazing thing ever. Thank you for making something so finely walk the line between ridiculously funny and silly and profound
Jesus joel, you've become an insane talent. Your writing and originally is phenomenal
I was waiting on the edge of my seat for a "or do I?" at the end.
Roger just wants some space
Gotta get the bloopers for this, it cant end on such a serious unfulfilled(non trombone playing) note!
I'm glad you're doing your brand of humor in a more positive way this video
he'd be amazing playing trombone with the same straight face, WHILE on a trampoline or in between jumps
