Cant wait for the next video where he cryogenically freezes himself and wakes up in a random year and literally doesnt know what time it is
Ryan Carr Sort of like Captain America if you will.
@Non-Existent my friends and family were all dead, so I did the one thing I could do.
I booked a flight to Japan.
Ryan Carr more like: I found out they’d invented real life anime waifus, so I booked a flight to Tokyo
I'm screaming, he should totally do this
the perfect sequel idea doesn’t exis-
nick: *goes to airport*
airport staff: THE USUAL?
not this time

2 japan tickets and a mystery
Core Master your profile pic is from portal

Y'know, I'm gonna give that lady the benefit of the doubt, maybe there is an extremely convoluted way to get from America to Norway by car
if there was a bridge in the bering strait, maybe
You can ferry to multiple small islands to eventually get to northern canada
Doesn't the ocean between alaska and Russia freeze over in the winter?
@@MemTMCR i guess it does, but good luck not freezing to death
@@NumbGeek2 years later, have you figured out what a heater is?
I hope that wherever Fred Tori Andersen and Michael are right now, they're doing okay. What a lovely pair of fellas. The nicest in Europe...
Hopefully they've somehow managed to see this video
Doing very well thank you!🤩
@@mikberg97 The legend himself! I'm glad you have seen this video at last. Was Fred your friend before that night or did you meet him at the hotel?
I remember when you were streaming while in Norway someone in chat said something like "did you know it's dark all year some places in Norway?"
and you were just like that "damn that's crazy." knowing this is what you were making at the time makes that so funny lmao
@bread bread im vibing
I live in Tromsø, and it's not dark in the summer. Actually Sunny 24/7.
@rozbx Yes, and there's no places in Norway where it's dark all year around...
@@rwjensn because of how the earth rotates there aren't any places on Earth where the sun never comes out. That would break physics
@@JoshBurcham104 I know that 😅Just trying to make it simple for the other ones😊

Only nick would stumble across a store full of fucking WATCHES while doing a don't know what time it is challenge 😭😭
I know you probably won't see this, but this is one of my favorite videos on the platform. I've watched it 4-5 times now and will likely continue to rewatch it every few months or so. It's oddly comforting, wholesome and unifying. It's timely, and represents what I think RUclips content was always made to be like. I think you best know the feeling associated with this video, as you experienced it first hand, so if you read this you'll know what I mean.
Exactly!! This is probably my 3rd or 4th time watching this video, i was feeling kinda depressed and not in the mood, i opened RUclips, it recommended me this video again and now I'm smiling watching the end of it. It's so comforting and great to watch.
I wholeheartly agree :]
6th rewatch lol
Seventh rewatch now, it's honestly so comforting to watch before going to sleep.
couldntve explained it better myself. its my comfort video, I watch it every few months and laugh just as hard at the guys he met at midnight.
It turns out that the true time is the friends you made along the way
The real time is the time we spent with friends along the way.
Fred Tory Anderson
Hahahah, geez, I didn't realize I ruined your challenge. Thanks for the chat, though ! - literally the guy behind the geek store counter
LOL, it was great chatting with you too! it had to happen eventually, hahah. (and thanks for showing me that MTG Alpha booster!)
Oof
What the heck?
I went back and compared faces of your pic and him and it is you
Well that’s a coincidence and a half
imagine room service breaking into his room and finding a note in a unknown language... when they decode it it just says “time:??? Date:??? Year:??? Decade:??? Edit: wE gOT A TiMe TraVErLer aGaiN.
nice
most people in norway speak english
This video is a really good example of a good vlog, the editing isn't in your face, nick isn't screaming every two seconds and it feels really genuine
Believe it or not this is how most 'vlog' style content was on youtube early on, before the Dark Days. Just people with genuinely engaging personalities talking to camera whilst filming events around them. idk when they started being so heavily edited with cuts and sound effects every 0.2 seconds but
@@rosePetrichor It's not 'the dark days' right now you crybaby. If anything there's more creators to enjoy, even your joyless heart can find more great content nowadays.
"Everyone was very kind, even the guy who accidentally told me what time it was."
Umm Nick, that is usually an act of kindness in real world.
Gökhan Kurt yeah but for the purposes of this video I guess you could call him the villain
Nick: *Finds out what time it is*
"I'm going to swallow a bunch of pills right now"
LMAO. Best video.
44:04 at this time, he knew what it had all been accumulating to-2020. Although he wasn't able to not understand what year it was, wasn't the journey the best part? The Lucky Charms, having his editor edit his pin number out, going to 7-11. In the end, it wasn't the challenge that was the best part of his trip, it was the friends he made along the way. The man in Walmart, the Happy New Years lady, the Toad hanging at that toy shop, and best of all the friends, the guy who was recorded while getting his hair cut. God bless you Nick. God bless Norway.
God bless Norway 🇳🇴
@@babylonian bro why did you like this it's sub-par at best.
@@justahedgehogwithinternet6963 no it isn't
"I'll throw that back at you, I'm going to Japan-"
Nick: *PULL UP A CHAIR SIR YOU'VE COME TO THE RIGHT PERSON*
you came to Norway for the darkness but along the way, you found a light brighter than any other: Fred Tory Anderson. the nicest guy in Europe.
so either Fred Tory godamn Anderson and Micheal were drunk AF or the absolute best people I have ever seen can we take them back home to America with us
I hope they saw the video lmao
Rocket Captain23 either way would be amazing lol
Oh I know Fred Tory Anderson, he saved Europe from zombie Hitler and found Atlantis

Next is the “I don’t know what anything is challenge” where he gives himself amnesia
"Unfortunately I forgot to record the entire time."
I’ve done this. Very worth it.
So basically Nick remaking Memento by Christopher Nolan.
“Wait, what was I doing again?”
he just bonks himself
Imagine if he missed his flight home because he didn't know the time. That's a true victory.

Rewatching this video now is incredible. This happened just before the pandemic began. It shows you exploring and doing such an adventurous thing that a few months after this video was posted, became impossible. It captures and summarises the joys of travelling in a free world. I love this video so much.
My favourite part was when Toad was crucified on the wall for identifying as a Pokémon.
Keanine 😂👌 thank you for posting this
this is why i have toad as my username and pfp ladies and gents
He should go back in the summer, when it's permanent daylight.
The "Don't Know If I'm In Midsommar 2 Challenge", at a stranger's summer house out in the woods near Rovaniemi or possibly Kiruna.
The "it's always morning" chalenge
Yeah that kinda wasn’t possible
Yeah about that.......
Welp
Next up: Nick invents a time machine and attempts the Don't Know What Era It Is Challenge. He fails, but in the process he befriends several Roman soldiers and has a lovely evening hanging out with them.
"let me throw this back to you, I am going to Japan tomorrow." *the x files starts playing* i actually laughed rly hard when that happened lol
I cannot express the joy those two drunk Norwegian men brought me.
Drunk? I thought that was how Norwegians usually were
@@billywhizz09 its both
@@Grownupfun They were drunk.
hol up
@@ButtMash1 I guess I'm fucking drunk 24/7 when I'm with my friends.
the universe is against him so MUCH even the mountain gives a big middle finger
This video has kind of a comforting aura to me, the way the story is told, the humor, the music, the way it's filmed, this video is just so warm to me and I've watched it way too much times that i could believe
I kept thinking throughout this video, "Wow, what a way to bring in 2020" and then I got to the New Year's celebration. That was so wholesome.
I can’t believe you basically ended the video by saying “I guess the real time was the friends we made along the way”
“ʸᵒᵘ ᵍᵒⁱⁿᵍ ᵇʸ ᵖˡᵃⁿᵉ ᵒʳ ᶜᵃʳ?“

Nick asking questions about everything out the window is basically EVERYONE EVER in 2020 during quarantine staring out their window, no matter what time it is. and also, quarantine is basically purgatory at this point, you may or may not have accepted your fate, you can never escape, and time, whether we have it or not is meaningless at this point.
“I feel like 2020, you know... never been a better time for bane-based comedy.”
People in 2020: . _.
Friendship ended with Japan now Norway is my new bestfriend
Gumball refrence?
Nick: He is literally swabbing the poop deck.
Narrator: He was literally swabbing the foredeck.
Nicks family: So do you want to come to our house for new years?

HMMMMMMMM
Yed

Ues
Yes
I think my favorite part was Nick nearly OD’ing on melatonin in a last ditch attempt to forget the time only to immediately wake up to fireworks on the brink of the new year
imagine if he slept through it
Don't know what year it is.
Fireworks: "Hey"
Nick: *puts bojangles in an insulated bag squeezing the life out of them*
Me: what in the world are you doing Nick, THOSE WERE PERFECTLY GOOD BOJANGLES >:(
It's not squeezing the life out of them. All it does is like vacuum seal it by sucking out all of the air.
I like how you tried to avoid everything telling you what time it is, but then the year is written on the fucking mountain and a giant ship is blasting exactly when it turns to midnight.
also right after he "puts his watch in the safe" you can see him wearing it in the mirror
@@ariben2038 i think that was an error in editing lol
I cant wait to start hearing “So i booked a flight to Tromsø”
What a video, felt like a movie and I loved every second of it
It’s not about knowing the time but having time. This video was funny and chaotic but it has a warmth to it that changed me, even if it was just a bit. Thank you. It is almost 2021 and I hope next year I spend more time doing meaningful things.
that's a beautiful sentiment. hope you have a great holiday :')
@@babylonian Thank you & likewise! :’)

As someone who uses Celsius and not Fahrenheit, when siri said it was 31 degrees and you started putting multiple layers on, I was very confused
@@wooshmeifurgay7452 Siri gave the temp in fahrenheit, in which 31 degrees is on the colder side. This person uses celsius, in which 31 degrees is on the hotter side.
This is literally one of my favorite videos on the internet, I wish Nick stayed for a week or left more things in the video
I knew he’d resort to filming himself where the sun don’t shine

Oh-
oh no.
I'm--
In his own butt
Now you just need a “I don’t know what country it is” video.
"Dont know what life is"
I wonder if that is even possible. Probably not but I'm convinced Nick would find a way
Go to Europe, walk for hours around the small countries?
How about losing a passport challenge?
A famous Norwegian outdoorsman (Lars Monsen) did something similar on TV. A crew blindfolded him and put him in the middle of nowhere in the forest and he was to make it up a river to a meeting place in a day or two, then when he got there tell them where he thought he was. In the show I watched they actually put him in Sweden without saying. And for the record he guessed perfectly where he was somehow.
