This vid is responsible for me finding the show and then falling in love with it and watching the entire series. I just want to say I am extremely grateful for finding this vid by random and its been a huge impact in my life. The show has opened up my mind beyond what I thought a show could and has changed my view points about life in so many ways. It has made me look at and experience life in a more respectful beautiful way than I ever thought before, and has inspired me to go on a self improvement/observing journey and enjoy the ride of it all. I don't know if I would have ever found out about the show if it wasn't for this video, so thank you so very very much man for publishing this vid. I wish the creator/creators of this vid, the team behind the Big Lez Show and everyone reading this comment loads of love and wish you all the best of luck in this crazy ride we call life < 3 👍✌❤
@@Zesw24 Thanks friend! I've been really enjoying exploring spirituality and working on improving myself. One of the biggest things that has helped me feel better has been to start eating better. I've stopped eating meat ,expect for fish here and there, for about i'd like to say a month now and I already feel so much more clean and have way more energy than what I used to have. I'm on a whole new journey experience than what I used to be on and I'm really happy to keep on it and to keep exploring and staying open minded with things. Glad your apart of it too friend
Man I found this first year uni right before exam season, was struggling mentally and this show got me through it the first time watching choomer island 2 was defs life altering
Entire friend groups separated by thousands of miles and multiple oceans. But when you find somone else who can quote this show it's like finding somone else of your weird little religion. You just know them more without saying anything.
watched big lez with a friend a while back and he asked what Owly's name was and i said something along the lines of "fucking Reginald", anyways fast forward a few months that name was a big joke between us and I bought a bong and named it Reginald. Rest in peace Reginald, you were a good fucking bong mate
This show is a work of art. from appealing, relatable themes, to memorable characters, to a heartbreakingly beautiful ending, it was nailed from beginning to end. Thanks for the memories
so much fucking effort in every frame, Big Lez show is great because it is a show with heart. The characters seem completely believable and likeable. It reminds me of early Trailer Park Boys which was also very low budget , full of drugs and had lots of zany premises but again was literally a show about rounded characters, friendship and struggles of life. Big Lez show is an epic achievement of the internet
Me and my friends discovered this way back in 2014, we used to get stoned af all the time and chill to this... we must have watched every episode atleast 40 times. Things are different now so its nostalgic to watch the old episodes again.
yooo same mate same. Bunch of friends and i would get stoned af and just look for obscure shows to watch. stumbled upon this in youtube around 2015, we binge watched the whole show haha
100-200 frames for a 5 minute episode is mind blowing considering the Choomah Island episodes and more. Hats off to you Jarrad, thank you for blessing up with this show
When some Aussie bloke in a shack with a budget tablet, MS paint, 56k modem internet, sustaining himself merely off of Dare milk and petrol station meat pies makes better content than multi-million dollar corporations with heaps of people on board, you know you have something special.
This show was introduced to me by an Aussie 30 year old guy. I was 20 at the time and it was such a great discovery, my other friends weren't that impressed but after he showed me that one episode I knew I would be binging the entire thing in a day :) Couldn't believe a show like this could have such nice music and delve into psychedelic knowledge. You have some quality content here and there but honestly the Gizzverse is my favorite. I would say milk the shit outta that :D
i was introduced to the big lez show in 2016. it was our buddy's birthday and we all ate mushrooms. Choomah Island 2 was released while we were in the middle of our trip, and the rest is history. it's the best show created to this date for a multitude of reasons, including the organic conversations and independent production. but the ultimate reason is how vividly it reflects one guy and his buddies' journey through life. you can literally see 7 years of life experience accumulating when you go through the series. you don't have to agree with the show's philosophy, but the fact that the window into the creators' lives is so clear even through the show's absurdities is a really powerful thing
completely agree. when I was watching the documentary by jarrad wright, you can see how his experiences influenced the show. have you heard about his "enlightenment"/"awakening" moment? loved hearing how the show was close to you and the story of how you guys watched it
@@motioninart yeah he's talked about a number of his profound experiences, most of which i think i heard in his appearances on the Your Mate Tom podcast. i can't say i personally relate, although when i was in university for physics in 2009-2014, i had become acquainted or friends with a lot of more "pure" hippies who were into healing crystals, "energy", frequencies, vibrations, etc. watching the Choomah Island 2 mushroom trip (on mushrooms) was hilarious because even though jarrad seems to identify with a lot of what's being said there, he still seems open to the satirical/absurd aspect of it, which is a really respectable thing. if you wanna hear a really crazy story though, get this: in december 2014 i visited my friend's father, who i think has mild schizophrenia (he was admitted in 2012 after a psychotic episode). he told me a story about how he was outside at 445 am (yes, specific time) and saw a big blue orb slowly moving fluidly and silently along the sky. he tried to get his wife to come outside to see it, but she ignored him cause she was getting ready for work. i would have blown the story off, but then his wife (who is sane) told me that when she drove to work and parked her car, she saw the same thing. the guy drew me a really crude picture, and i was never able to reconcile the fact that she attested to his story. enter 2019, and Mike Nolan's Long Weekend is being released. in episode 3, nolan and crazy steve are outside the bar smoking a joint, and a big blue orb moves fluidly and silently along the sky. blew my fucking mind, i still can't get over it

Bro, I tried so hard not to cry at the end of the Big Lez Show when I first saw it, but it got me. I've grown up the past few years watching this show and showing it to so many people. It has had a big impact on my life the past few years and is one of my all-time favorite animated shows ever.
This series of animations was one of the cornerstones of my late teens and early 20s, such an amazing show. Literally better than most tv shows out there
This show is the most incredible thing I've ever seen. I first saw it when I was like 10, and it was in my heart ever since, but rewatching and seeing the spiritual awakenings changed my life. Thx for everything Jarrad.
Browntown Town song is my ringtone and "whaddiyatalkinabeet" is my notification sound. I love this show so much and I'm glad I finally found a video (or someone) who understands how much effort and work went into telling such a funny and unique story. This show is Adult Swim tier.
This show is one of the best shows and it has such wonderful messages and themes. I don’t even know where to begin, but I had the pleasure of meeting jarred and his brother and they were both really cool guys. I can’t wait for anything else that he has to put out there for us to enjoy. My roommate in college did a year in Australia for school and discovered this show, then showed it to me, glad he did.
I find it so crazy that a little cartoon made by a high schooler that just wanted to make his friends laugh could turn into such a cultural icon for so many Australians
I know a lot of people from other countries haven never seen Big Lez before, but here in Australia, this series is what everyone my age grew up on in school. To this day, we still quote random lines from our favourite episodes and characters
My sons introduced me to Big Lez, Sassy & the gang about 5-6 years ago and they are now adults and we still watch all of Jarrad’s episodes, they never ever get old. When he made the Sassy the Sasquatch series I was absolutely thrilled and I must say it is hands down one of the best things I have ever had the pleasure of watching. Anyone know if Jarrad is married? Coz I’d seriously marry this absolute genius of a man 💞💞💞 *Edit - my youngest son just informed me that we’ve been watching Jarrad’s work since 2015!!!
When my friend group found this show when we were 15 we started quoting it so much at school it just sort of became the way we joked around each other. 10 years on I still quote this show without even realising it. It’s become part of my life.
Between Big Lez and Willem Powerfish, Australia certainly has acquired a taste for the Tweed. Couldn't have asked for a better part of the world to grow up in, especially knowing we produce some hilarious shit.
I was first shown TBLS one lunchtime in college. It then became a ritual for like half the class to sit down and watch new episodes over some pizza. Good shit
He drew the first couple season with a touchpad on a school chrome book to the point the touchpad was completely worn out all for us to have this beautiful show that has damn bear saved my life and helped me through some very dark times
I fucking love Big Lez. It's one of the few things I've seen that connect so deeply with me. I got real nostalgia for the days of smoking with my own mates. The best part is at first you think the show is kind of stupid, but then you realise how clever it all is and feel stupid yourself. There's no bullshit, it's not corporate or family friendly, and it's not polished. It's mass appeal is its humour and spontaneity and I heard of it through word of mouth. It's properly refreshing
My older brother showed me this when I moved too Cali. First time I ever got high, like with actual flower. Took maybe 4 bong rips and proceeded to watch all of it. I’m so happy with Sassys new show.
It's superficial level of production hides a deeper more introspective level of storytelling. Makes for a compelling entertaining watch. Can't wait for more!
Big lez show is easily for me the finest little show made. Nothing has made me laugh like it and i doubt nothing ever could. Thank god Jarrod is still making content
I want a producer or agent or whatever to owe jarrad and the guys the rest of the credit they’re due bc it’s such a good idea, like I wanna be watching bare of these consistently whether it’s a spinoff or set in a different time line or whatever! I appreciate the time it takes to make them but idk like imagine if it was a proper tv show, they deserve it it would bang ahaha
Every kid in New Zealand watched the first season when it came out. Then we forgot about it. A few years ago I checked back in and saw there was more, and I realised just what a fucking gem it was
TBLS is immensely important in more ways any non Australian can imagine, due to the complete lack of government spending on art, stupid RUclips shit is one of our most important ways to preserve our culture. Its also pretty fucking sick
The show is an absolute gem. Proves you don’t need big budgets or marketing to make something people will love, just need a bit of talent and a unique perspective. Love it for so many reasons
This show is what I point to people when I tell them I still play older games most, doesn't matter if the art is polished and smooth, it's the story and enjoyment from the work put in to engage the viewer/player
Watched part of this vid, had never heard of Big lez, went and watched the entire thing then came back to finish this, absolutely epic, consider that a job well done on your part!
Thank you, for making this two years ago, as when I originally saw this, it introduced me to this wonderful series. I have returned 2 years later, thanks to youtube's great algorithm, to thank you profusely for your work in introducing me to a masterpiece. I have seen every episode now, and continue to stay in touch with the new old adventures of Sassy, and it's all thanks to you my fine sir. I cannot appreciate you enough. You have made my life entirely new, and beautiful, again.
Fuck. This means so much to me you don’t know. Firstly, full credit to JW for the show but your words are greatly appreciated. I’m just doing my part to spread the good word. But it brings me deep joy to see others discover the gems I know deserve to be valued. Thanks man.
If you realise it's all backed by incredibly well made music that fits the mood for the scenes there used in wake up is one of the best songs I've heard and gives me chills every time I listen to it
I’m here after “On location with clarence” in one of the comments made me realize what it is that made the show hit me so much. It’s made with heart I that something we don’t really see as much of nowadays but I think it’s a shame
Nice little summary. Cant remember how we found it but me and my mates all started watching it when we were between 14-16 somewhere, Bloody 9-11 years ago now. The waites were excruciating but worth it, sometimes 8-12 months long for 1 episode... Started off so silly and chill and evolved into such a mad tale that ill never get over and carry on rewatching and showing to anyone i can... Im so thankful Jarrads kept it up all these years. Only something that comes from love can carry on the way it has. Sassy is my favorite interdimensional all knowing being of all time. Comedy is my love and my medicine. Much love 🥰❤️ gonna share this vid
More than just a show: This epic saga created a new pillar of the cinematic experience and is fast becoming the enduring, high water mark, of MS Paint productions. This exciting action packed comedy has overtly based and introspective themes, and is sure to leave you feeling born anew and craving for more episodes.
This show is one of the biggest inspirations for me, I do music/art/animation and am working on a game. TBLS and other small Australian efforts like team cherry (hollow knight) showed me there is no cap on creativity and that I can do whatever I want without having the thousands of dollars to spend
Probably the most amazing thing would be is when we all long gone- Aussies from 100 years from now will be like wtf this is sik, probably think it’s the most funniest animated Aussie skits mix fully dosed up cartoon series that’s ever been made. To the fella that made this, you’re gifted as and should be proud of what you created. Certainly cracked me up and got me into deep thinking about life in general with having created down to earth blue characters with a bit of emotions in the mix too. Good work there Bobby brown junior
In Australia we where all watching this as kids, it was our childhood show and really gave us a better understanding of Aussie culture, this show enhanced our culture and connected us to it for alot of us young kids watching this as we grew up. Amazing show. And it connected alot of people around the world to Australian culture
I still quote TBLS on a daily basis.. this show got me through high school.. hardest years of my life. Massive love & respect for everyone involved in the production of this masterpiece ❤️
@@motioninart i watched it as soon as it came out😅. Just waiting to see what else comes out, what the shooting stars mean, and where the show will go with the revelation that it is a in universe tv show.
great review without even touching the plot. IN A GOOD WAY. The shorter episodes were so casual, it felt like slice of life, but with Sasquatches. RIP Big Lez
The big fackin Lez show what an absolute gem. Ive grown up watching the seasons, the nostalgia it gave me watching again was crazy. Never got the meaning to it watching as a teen but rewatching changed my life
I think the thing about tbls is its an actual passion project. Yes its a stoner comedy but only at the start but it flourishes and grew with its audience which is rare.
I remember 10 or so years ago I was hyped to watch the original chooma island special. The episodes just took so long though that I never came back to it. Recently I rewatched the whole thing and the nostalgia hit hard. Watching the end of the series made me tear up a bit. Spoiler warning ahead. When Lez died it felt like someone I knew long ago died. It was just that crazy to come back to the show after so long
OMG there was a mural of this show at the school i graduated from! i never knew what it was. i thought the day and night sky being separated by a rainbow to be a cool design.
I'm sure the fans would of realised, but I haven't seen anyone mention it? But the episode where Big Lez gets on the Scooby-Doo rollercoaster, that's actually an exact animated replica of the Scooby-Doo roller coaster at movie world in Queensland. Like the turns, the laser light show and I swear the audio was live recorded from the actual ride! Because the audio ques are identical to the real ride😆
With the rainbow scene when Sassy referenced that you have been inside that box your entire life and you didn't even know you were inside the box, my heart dropped...
god big Lez is just a great show glad to see someone cover it and give it more exposure to jarred he seems like a great lad and hes very genuine with everything he does. I hope he creates more soon he's a legend.

I fucking love Big Lez. It's one of the few things I've seen that connect so deeply with me. I got real nostalgia for the days of smoking with my own mates. The best part is at first you think the show is kind of stupid, but then you realise how clever it all is and feel stupid yourself.
There's no bullshit, it's not corporate or family friendly, and it's not polished. It's mass appeal is its humour and spontaneity and I heard of it through word of mouth. It's properly refreshing
It’s amazing at how authentic it is and I love that people can see that
My older brother showed me this when I moved too Cali. First time I ever got high, like with actual flower. Took maybe 4 bong rips and proceeded to watch all of it. I’m so happy with Sassys new show.
Summer heights high and now big lez show, you’re a legend dude
I’m a skits mission
It's superficial level of production hides a deeper more introspective level of storytelling. Makes for a compelling entertaining watch. Can't wait for more!
Best animated show on yt. I haven't laughed so hard from any other show in my life, cant wait to see what Jarrad Wright will come up with next.
Same here. The man’s a genius.
The sassy show is out
Big lez show is easily for me the finest little show made. Nothing has made me laugh like it and i doubt nothing ever could. Thank god Jarrod is still making content
This whole show and the continuing series that follows is good enough to be put on adult swim. Absolutely amazing show.
I want a producer or agent or whatever to owe jarrad and the guys the rest of the credit they’re due bc it’s such a good idea, like I wanna be watching bare of these consistently whether it’s a spinoff or set in a different time line or whatever! I appreciate the time it takes to make them but idk like imagine if it was a proper tv show, they deserve it it would bang ahaha
Aren't you glad the new sassy season is coming out now lol
Every kid in New Zealand watched the first season when it came out. Then we forgot about it. A few years ago I checked back in and saw there was more, and I realised just what a fucking gem it was
TBLS is a masterpiece.
Its so much better than any adult cartoons or movies or whatever.
It's masterpiece.
The quality shines through despite the low budgets
Awesome Big Lez Documentary! Jarrad Wright is a Genius! A Bodhisattva even!
TBLS is immensely important in more ways any non Australian can imagine, due to the complete lack of government spending on art, stupid RUclips shit is one of our most important ways to preserve our culture.
Its also pretty fucking sick
Kinda crazy how much of an impact an MS Paint animated show on RUclips has had. Straight from my part of Australia too!
The show is an absolute gem. Proves you don’t need big budgets or marketing to make something people will love, just need a bit of talent and a unique perspective. Love it for so many reasons
This show is what I point to people when I tell them I still play older games most, doesn't matter if the art is polished and smooth, it's the story and enjoyment from the work put in to engage the viewer/player
Watched part of this vid, had never heard of Big lez, went and watched the entire thing then came back to finish this, absolutely epic, consider that a job well done on your part!
Glad to hear you loved it :)
Thank you, for making this two years ago, as when I originally saw this, it introduced me to this wonderful series. I have returned 2 years later, thanks to youtube's great algorithm, to thank you profusely for your work in introducing me to a masterpiece. I have seen every episode now, and continue to stay in touch with the new old adventures of Sassy, and it's all thanks to you my fine sir. I cannot appreciate you enough. You have made my life entirely new, and beautiful, again.
Fuck. This means so much to me you don’t know. Firstly, full credit to JW for the show but your words are greatly appreciated. I’m just doing my part to spread the good word. But it brings me deep joy to see others discover the gems I know deserve to be valued. Thanks man.
I remember when my brothers introduced me to this show I still need to thank them for it
Did you thank them?
Genuinely such a good show. The characters are iconic.
I can hear their voices
If you realise it's all backed by incredibly well made music that fits the mood for the scenes there used in wake up is one of the best songs I've heard and gives me chills every time I listen to it
I’m here after “On location with clarence” in one of the comments made me realize what it is that made the show hit me so much. It’s made with heart I that something we don’t really see as much of nowadays but I think it’s a shame
agreed
Nice little summary. Cant remember how we found it but me and my mates all started watching it when we were between 14-16 somewhere, Bloody 9-11 years ago now. The waites were excruciating but worth it, sometimes 8-12 months long for 1 episode...
Started off so silly and chill and evolved into such a mad tale that ill never get over and carry on rewatching and showing to anyone i can... Im so thankful Jarrads kept it up all these years. Only something that comes from love can carry on the way it has. Sassy is my favorite interdimensional all knowing being of all time.
Comedy is my love and my medicine.
Much love 🥰❤️ gonna share this vid
This show I just now found just proves the amount of competition we have to deal with today
More than just a show: This epic saga created a new pillar of the cinematic experience and is fast becoming the enduring, high water mark, of MS Paint productions. This exciting action packed comedy has overtly based and introspective themes, and is sure to leave you feeling born anew and craving for more episodes.
Introspective themes is a great way to put it
This show is one of the biggest inspirations for me, I do music/art/animation and am working on a game. TBLS and other small Australian efforts like team cherry (hollow knight) showed me there is no cap on creativity and that I can do whatever I want without having the thousands of dollars to spend
Probably the most amazing thing would be is when we all long gone- Aussies from 100 years from now will be like wtf this is sik, probably think it’s the most funniest animated Aussie skits mix fully dosed up cartoon series that’s ever been made. To the fella that made this, you’re gifted as and should be proud of what you created. Certainly cracked me up and got me into deep thinking about life in general with having created down to earth blue characters with a bit of emotions in the mix too. Good work there Bobby brown junior
Remember being shown it from a friend in my A levels (season 3 ep 3) and since then I have been in love with the show.
In Australia we where all watching this as kids, it was our childhood show and really gave us a better understanding of Aussie culture, this show enhanced our culture and connected us to it for alot of us young kids watching this as we grew up. Amazing show. And it connected alot of people around the world to Australian culture
It makes me happy that not only Australians know about this
I still quote TBLS on a daily basis.. this show got me through high school.. hardest years of my life. Massive love & respect for everyone involved in the production of this masterpiece ❤️
been watching this for ages, i love to see others enjoying it as much as i do
Same here. Have you seen the recent on location with Clarence claymore?
@@motioninart i watched it as soon as it came out😅. Just waiting to see what else comes out, what the shooting stars mean, and where the show will go with the revelation that it is a in universe tv show.
great review without even touching the plot. IN A GOOD WAY.
The shorter episodes were so casual, it felt like slice of life, but with Sasquatches.
RIP Big Lez
thanks man. appreciate the kind words.
glad u made this vid man, shows way to underrated
The big lez show and other related shows are probably the best thing that will ever be on yt
Doesn't get the recognition it deserves. Fantastic series, Jarrad is a legend.
The big fackin Lez show what an absolute gem. Ive grown up watching the seasons, the nostalgia it gave me watching again was crazy. Never got the meaning to it watching as a teen but rewatching changed my life
Been watching it since "season 1" never knew all the work behind it thought it was a team's throwaway this makes me appreciate it so much more
I think the thing about tbls is its an actual passion project. Yes its a stoner comedy but only at the start but it flourishes and grew with its audience which is rare.
I remember 10 or so years ago I was hyped to watch the original chooma island special. The episodes just took so long though that I never came back to it. Recently I rewatched the whole thing and the nostalgia hit hard. Watching the end of the series made me tear up a bit. Spoiler warning ahead.
When Lez died it felt like someone I knew long ago died. It was just that crazy to come back to the show after so long
It’s amazing how well it holds up.
I have a theory he might come back in the future.
The Big Lez show will forever hold onto a friendship I never want back; these gents are the good side of a filthy coin, thank you everyone.
Whipping out a bag and doing bumps with your mates when they did it on screen was so class. Nothing but good mems of this show
Straya
this was amongst one of my favorite shows found ever in the last 2-4 years or so.... 100%
So good
What a great show, I didn’t I get into a show where the main cast are potheads who sweat every chance they get but here we are.
Fkn skits mate
4:07 I remember when i first seen that episode and that sequence is deep af!
Jarred is a storytelling genius and I loved all his work since I found him out! (New Sassy serie is out now!)
I feel like a kid at Christmas
Time for another rewatch ❤
Never knew you did big lez aswell, only looked at the king gizzard videos as I love them, Australias fucking sick, I've been there once I wanna go.
OMG there was a mural of this show at the school i graduated from! i never knew what it was. i thought the day and night sky being separated by a rainbow to be a cool design.
Iconic masterpiece of Australian culture. It should get much more recognition than it does already.
I'm sure the fans would of realised, but I haven't seen anyone mention it?
But the episode where Big Lez gets on the Scooby-Doo rollercoaster, that's actually an exact animated replica of the Scooby-Doo roller coaster at movie world in Queensland.
Like the turns, the laser light show and I swear the audio was live recorded from the actual ride! Because the audio ques are identical to the real ride😆
Yooo do A Moody Christmas. Mad underrated Aussie comedy that was actually funny and accurate
Never heard of it! Will check it out :)
Anyone who hasn't watched biglez I highly recommendd watching every episode ull probs cry at the end tho
With the rainbow scene when Sassy referenced that you have been inside that box your entire life and you didn't even know you were inside the box, my heart dropped...
The best thing about it is the sassy show is that piece of the puzzle that makes it all make sense
this was my whole childhood, I enjoyed it way more than any proper big budget show I've ever watched
It’s got heart and soul, which is more than you can say about other higher budget shows
Some talent and lot of hard work with a good attitude can take you places.
its weird seeing these videos in my feed long after we finished the big lez show, the new ones are pretty good though
god big Lez is just a great show glad to see someone cover it and give it more exposure to jarred he seems like a great lad and hes very genuine with everything he does. I hope he creates more soon he's a legend.
same here. did you enjoy on location with clarence claymore?
The recording the fight sounds in the cane field cracked me tf up
makes me laugh everytime I hear it
I remember back in the day everyone at school would be hanging out for the next episode of big lez. Easier times
Tripper snipper is the best❤️
Thank you for showing me to this masterpiece
Glad you loved it :)
