That's awesome, I've been on anxiety medication for 3 years now, and it really has changed my life. Without it I was barely able to function, with it I didn't have panic attacks more than a couple times a year. As compared to ones about once a week. I'm so glad you were able to find one that works for you.
After I watched this video, my spouse, who was watching by osmosis, said "I seem to remember Don Rickles being in a Scooby-Doo episode." But I reminded them that this is NerdSync, and if such a thing had happened, it would not have gone unremarked on.
My favorite hollywood story I've ever heard is Don Rickles walks into this restaurant with this girl he's dating and he sees that Frank Sinatra is in the restaurant as well. So Don tells the girl he's going to the bathroom and he goes up to Sinatras table and says "hey Frank I'm here with this girl I really like and I want to impress her. Could you do me a favor? In about 5 minutes could you come up to my table and say hi to me so that she can see that we're friends?" So Frank says "yeah sure. No problem." So Don goes back to his table and about 5 minutes later Frank walks up to Don's table sticks his hand out for a hand shake and says "hey Don! It's good to see you! How have you been?" And Rickles looks at his hand and then looks up at Frank with this disgusted annoyed look on his face and says "come on Frank! What are you doing? We're trying to eat here! Can't you just leave us alone?!" And Frank Sinatra is stuck there with his hand out and all he can do is just pull his hand back and walk away embarrassed! Lmao it's my favorite story I've ever heard!
@@marccolten9801 nah there's no way! Do you know the type of high quality cooze Sinatra was getting? There's no way Frank Sinatra would ever slum it with the type of girls Don has to settle for.
I found Adventure Comics # 389. It features Supergirl turning all her ex boyfriends into stone and creating a mass stone ex boyfriend graveyard. I thought of you when bought it. Just thought I’d thank you for reminding me how wonderful this covers are. I’ve collected silver age covers before, but your Jimmy video made me love them even more.
One ex was a merman (which raises a whole host of questions that would alarm the Comics Code Authority 🍆🐟), another was a horse / centaur. Which raises wholly different questions. We were innocent kids back then....
Loved the video!💕 Just started my comic book collection and found Toon Haven. They offer a huge variety of digital comics for every genre, and lifetime updates too!😍
Halfway through the video and already worth it just for now understanding that joke from Toy Story. Always love the videos, but that is a revelation I didn't even realize I needed.
I was 100% expecting the context to be "some editor got the idea in their head, they did the thing where someone designs the cover and then the poor artists have to come up with the content of the comic for that cover", was surprised to find that nope, Kirby really wanted to do this, two Rickles and all.
Yo Scott, I was so so so confused when I came across this story while reading through Kirby's Fourth World stuff a few months ago and I think I was secretly praying for you to make a video about it so that I wouldn't have to do a lot of research on weird early 70s pop culture myself. Anyway, this video is dope and your channel is dope and your work has inspired me to focus some of college essays on comic books as something worth seriously investigating. The work you do has value!
@@NerdSyncProductions I know but Scott now you got me itchin to know what a Nerdsync analysis of that series would be... (Also it's so cool that Steve Lieber sent you that, had you read it before?)
When it came to Kirby, there was a lot of "revenge" moves made on all sides. When Marvel got him back, I've heard they purposely tried to embarrass him and set him up for failure. It sounds to me that this issue of JO was Kirby's way of taking a slap at DC for how they'd tied his hands after hiring him.
The moral of the story is that Steve Lieber is a wonderful artist and human being and the Jimmy Olsen series he did with Matt Fraction is ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC. Everyone should read it! Another great video Scott! Thank you!
I'm commenting this before watching the video (sorry) but I've read this comic, and I remember just thinking to myself after reading every Don Rickles line "What? What is happening?"
Don't forget: this wasn't just a comic but Kirby applying political commentary about the comics industry vis a vis Stan Lee, Martin Goodman, Marvel vs DC, work for hire, editors, and Lee overstating his contribution to the Marvel Universe. For example e.g. Morgan Edge is Lee and Goidman, the 2 Rickles are Marvel Kirby & DC Kirby
This was a weird one, speaking as someone who mostly knew Rickles from his cameo work on old sitcoms, like they had his likeness but didn't know what to do with it (and couldn't write insults). Also, Sparta is adorable.
I just re-discovered nerdsync yesterday with all the scooby-doo content and then a new video drops the very next day! This is a great week!!! Loving this channel! Makes me proud to be a nerd
Of all the takeaways I thought I’d get from this video, the thought that Jack Kirby might’ve had a secret humiliation kink was *NOT* something I expected to have. Kudos, Scott!
Jimmy Olsen was always wacky, he turned into a turtle man (twice), porcupine man, you get the idea....but this was so far 'out there' you needed to read it through a telescope. I think that's why S v B hurt so much - turning the goofy but innocent and loyal JO into a tough undercover CIA operative who gets shot in the head after a few minutes on screen. I didn't like James Olsen on Supergirl (great character, but why that name? New character, new name) but this wasn't 'Superman's Pal', just a random....
Hey Scott, you should make a series covering weird stories in comics. My first suggestion is to read the golden-age Human-torch number three, it is a funny story about Toro haha
I clicked as soon as I got the notification and I gotta say I love this video and the fact that you're always doing something different. For me personally, I think it's part of what keeps me watching! Although at this point I would stick around for anything as your persona/personality is very entertaining :)
Haha I used that bit from ur Jommy Olsen video as a part for my comicbook club presentation. We read Superman up in the sky and most of the members didn't know Jimmy so I used your video to explain who whe really is :D
Don Rickles would actually be happy to know that you used the line "His name sounds like a disease." I'm sure he would respond: "And what do you call NerdSyc, hockey puck?" A funny guy, but dang, having him in a comic was weird! Maybe they were wanting to give him his own book, like Jerry Lewis and Bob Hope. Which would have been terrible, since Don like to work on the "blue" side. Or at least on the savage level.
I know you have a history of struggling to get content out in the way you want and I wanted to just point out that I like this easy going format. I'd watch a million more of these where you just talk about weird comics
Scott: Makes a Superman video, a Jack Kirby video and a Jimmies video in preparation Also Scott: I wonder if I've given enough context No content only context indeed
Hey Scott, Lillie here after clickbait test after Jimmy comic . It mysteriously actually work. I took comic page recolor page with Giganta to match Lillie. People were actually hooked and give me bit inspiration.
David Letterman (I believe it was Letterman possibly Conan?) whipped out one of these comics on the show when Rickles was a guest and asked about it. There's a clip on RUclips somewhere.
In Finnish dub of Toy Story movie the joke was little bit different, and easier to understand if you know the language. Basically he says "What are you staring at? Are you in hockey?" to understand than the joke, you need to know that Ice Hockey is "Lätkä" in slang term and it means "in love" too. So he says "What are you staring? Are you in love?".
Scott I just want to tell you thank you so much for years of entertainment. I’m a fighter and I have a fight this Friday December 3 and I love looking back at your videos when I need a nice inspiration. My favorite is the Spider-Man no more video. RIP Stan the Man
Scott, I just want to say... keep being a wonderful nerd. I've been a fan of yours for a few years now. Some of my favorite videos on youtube are, no joke, your "Why the Skrulls had to change", "Why Captain America has always been political", and your D&D video (it's what actually got me to watch dimension 20 and pay for a dropout account). No joke, you are one of the few youtubers whose content I regularly go back and rewatch, that wasn't someone from back on the blip.tv days (and even then I've been going back to those less and less as time goes on). I just love your passion and willingness to be real and vulnerable while at the same time entertain and teach us about such wonderful nerdy stuff like Scooby-Doo, Comic books, and Dungeons and Dragons.
You mean to tell me that the big bad of the DCEU, headlined by Mr Edgelord Himself Zack Snyder, made his debut in a Jimmy Olsen comic?? Scott??? Could you not brute force this fact into my head to live rent free?
"Inexplicably" Goody and Don look identical in a storyline where there are not one, but two cloning factories, The Project and The Evil Factory and there are clones of Jimmy Olsen, the Newsboy Legion and the Guardian running around? C'mon Scott, put two and two together. Goody's a clone.
@@d-manthecaptain1382 True, but the whole run was about The Project. In a story all about clones, when a physical duplicate shows up, doesn't it make the most sense that that character is a clone?
@@lynnwalker5576 Sure it makes sense, and maybe the reason they don't flat out say as much is because they expect the reader to connect the dots, but to me it raises questions. Like, how'd Goody end up working for the Planet? Did the project put him there, did he escape to live his own life, they stumble acorss Goody by happenstance, it just so happens that Morgan wants to kill the poor olf and decides to get Clark and Jimmy in on the action so he can kill three birds with one stone. Seems like a big coincident they run into somebody from The Project after having such a long adventure there, and never seem to realize he's from there themselves. It makes sense for Goody to be a clone, but the way the story is structured leaves me in doubt. Who knows, maybe you're right, and the only reason Kirby didn't state this in the story was because there wasn't anytime to do-so with 4 plotlines already happening across 2 issues.
Love this video. too bad Rickles didn't play at one of Lois' many weddings That's a cross over I'd not like to see... unlike a cross over with you and Sasha from Casually Comics.
I know that nowadays it's almost forbidden to say anything negative about Kirby but I confess that I don't think writing was one of his strong points. Even the New Gods I think have better concepts than good writing.
Kirby's vision is legendary. His scripts, on the other hand, were demented! Jimmy Olsen pre and post Kirby were night and day different but while his Fourth World super-narrative was truly epic, Jack was not really a great writer.
I would click on this video but you’re not wearing a joker suit, crying, and holding a bunch of money in the thumbnail…for shame.
I have learned nothing!!!

2. This video is awesome.
No...this video might be silly and bad.
The way Jack Kirby started working on Jimmy Olsen is way cooler than the apocryphal story.
Right? Explicitly not wanting to push other creators off their books, instead taking the reigns of a book without an artist assigned? That’s RAD.

2. Sparta’s sneezes are adorable 🥰
Great video as always Scott! 😁

Woo! Girl power! That's how that works, right?
(Why does supergirl have so many ex-s, anyways? That sounds like a story)
That is dark as heck.
Wouldn’t all of Supergirl’s ex- boyfriends have been punished automatically by having their dicks crushed in the equivalent of a hydraulic press?
One ex was a merman (which raises a whole host of questions that would alarm the Comics Code Authority 🍆🐟), another was a horse / centaur. Which raises wholly different questions.
We were innocent kids back then....

it's a miracle the sponsor approved it haha
@@NerdSyncProductions you could say there is magic in the air
"Jack Kirby introduced Darkeid the unvierse altering threat in fun children's comic 😀"
I'm sorry, he what?
Gotta start somewhere
Yep. Darkseid's very first appearance ever was on the last page of Jimmy Olsen #134.
The cat sneezing at that moment is really good comedic timing.
The idea Jack Kirby has a shame kink just gave me psychic damage

Jimmy Olsen was always wacky, he turned into a turtle man (twice), porcupine man, you get the idea....but this was so far 'out there' you needed to read it through a telescope.
I think that's why S v B hurt so much - turning the goofy but innocent and loyal JO into a tough undercover CIA operative who gets shot in the head after a few minutes on screen.
I didn't like James Olsen on Supergirl (great character, but why that name? New character, new name) but this wasn't 'Superman's Pal', just a random....

Can’t wait to start watching! (Also out of curiosity, hav u ever read Sandman and what are ur opinions on the upcoming show?)
Based off of how DC responded to Jack Kirby drawing Superman, I wonder if they wouldn't let him heckle Superman.
chapter: the actual content of the video
11:45 into a 25 min. video... classic only context NerdSync
Kirby's vision is legendary. His scripts, on the other hand, were demented! Jimmy Olsen pre and post Kirby were night and day different but while his Fourth World super-narrative was truly epic, Jack was not really a great writer.
You sir, are dissing the King!
