I’m an improv teacher and performer and lowering the filter is paramount. I tell my students “everyone is an improv superhero, you just have to find your powers” Great video!
Sounds like the worst superhero ever! 😂
@@MrMultifunc it’s not gonna help you fight crime I suppose 😂 “yes and-ing” a robbery isn’t particularly effective. But it’s about building self confidence and that anyone can be a good improviser if they trust and love themselves and their instincts.
@@SpencerWalshthemoviereviewer”love themselves and their instincts” 😮 love it, I need to work on that. I’m too self critical and it’s affecting my standup. Confidence changes everything in standup. My material is strong but my improvisation is terrible if it’s forced upon me in some way. I need to work on it and trust and respect myself. Thanks for the valuable tip.
@@Cinnovations omg Stand Up is so scary to me. I commend you! Best of luck workin on your improv!
Glad that Brennan is getting his recognition on this channel!
He truly is the goat
What you got wrong about Brennan:
He's not coming across smarter than he is, he actually is that smart.
He's probably been the smartest person around any table he's ever sat at.
Way to get in the comments, champ!
This is actually probably the most true comment on youtube. Brennan is probably likely a genius
100% dude has a 4 digit IQ
Ummm actually, Ify and Siobhan exist XD
Found Brennans secret youtube profile
I am so in love with Brennan. I'm glad to see him on this channel, he's so charismatic. Some serious crushing going on over here.
one thing I learned is to treat the unknown people like your friends you talk to daily. I always found it easy to make my friends laugh, because they reflect my personality and I'm comfortable with them. So, if you're talking to somebody you don't know that well, just ask yourself; "what would I say to ____ ?"
A BRENNAN case study?! Awesome. Thank you.
Brennan is an absolute master of his craft.
It turns out Brennan was Daedalus all along.
Absolutely love how Brennan was incorporated in this video

I love that Charlie is an improv/dnd fan
Brennan Lee Mulligan hell yeah

Great advice! Remember: comedy is a numbers game. The more jokes you attempt, the more laughs you'll receive. Even professional comedians are happy with a 50% success rate.
Cheers!
Omg yess! I love it when 2 of my random favorite channels collaborate with one another! And what’s crazier is that I literally just told my mom a couple hours ago during convo that I look up to Brennan as a writer and master of improv! What are the odds… I can’t wait to see your D&D campaign!
Great vid, love this channel for so many reasons and this is one of them.
Brennan is by far the funniest man CollegeHumor ever had! So glad he gets more display :)

game changer is such a gem
Awesome to hear you're a gamer! I've been doing it for about 30 years, with many of the same people, and love the hobby.
That's sweet. ☺️😊
I'd love to learn improv but I'm living in Italy without speaking Italian fluently. So I really appreciate good videos on the topic. Thanks, guys.

Another way to get good at being quick on your feet, freestyle rapping.
You learn how to organize topics quick, keep the words coming, and rhyming too haha
I have been on a Brennan binge lately. So cool to see it here
I will ignore this is just a Brennan Lee Mulligan fan video and I am not complaining. Wish he was in more things.
Thanks! This clears up the lifelong confusion of why people say I'm hilarious when I'm just being myself, an autistic person who literally takes everything literally and has zero filters.
I don't think Tom Cruise was joking about the real estate license lol
So nice to see Brennan getting love!
I do this because I love wordplay and I get painfully bored with small talk and repeated questions. Even if I start with a sincere answer, I get bored midway through and just start being silly XD I’m just trying to entertain myself and apparently other people get a kick out of it too!
Yes! Welcome to the DND world!
Environmental factors affect us all:
Tired -> Nap
Sad -> Music
Stressed -> Walk
Angry -> Exercise
Burnt out -> Read
Feeling lost -> Pray
Overthinking -> Write
Anxious -> Meditate
I don't know if I'll ever be able to apply this in my life but this video is hilarious!
You just put words to a lot of things I was lately noticing I often do.
It is indeed a lot of fun, ngl.

I know Charlie's been wanting to do this video for ages I'm so glad he got it out
This is literally how i survived being social as an introvert. It's probably why i connect so well with Brennan Lee Mulligan's style of humour and roleplaying.
Great video like always! Though I'm not sure how a video on improv in conversation didn't include a single clip of Robin Williams (or maybe I'm just showing my age 😅)
CHARISMA ON DEMAND X DND = legendary collab😂🔥🔥🔥🔥
I love Brennan. The best person on the internet for now.
Brennan is easily one of the kings of comedy! So glad to see him finally getting an episode here
Finally someone else is recognizing the Brilliance of Brennan Lee Mulligan.
(Edited) AND YOU PLAY D&D!? This channel continues to blow my mind. It's always great to meet another dice goblin in the wild!
I do the "expand the joke" thing all the time and people HATE it. I dunno if I'm "too good" at acting like I've missed the point or what, but I'm constantly met with "it's a joke" and I then have to explain "I *know* it's a joke, I thought it would be funnier if I ran with it". I really don't know what I'm doing wrong, or if I'm just hanging out with the wrong people (because it is usually the same handful of people who react that way). I find taking throw away jokes seriously and responding to them absolutely hilarious, but apparently people don't realize that's what I'm doing and think I somehow missed the sarcasm or whatever.
You need more obvious tells.
If you make it really outrageous, it makes it obvious that you're joking
with some people you have to make it really obvious that you're joking. i have one friend who is super deadpan with his jokes and i usually pick up on them, especially if he's making a reference, but sometimes i miss them. deadpan humour can be hilarious but it doesn't always work bc people don't read it as a joke lol
Smile at the begining obviously, hinting that you are going to do something with the said joke. Then act all serious. It would help them understand that you are joking.
Overplay it more. Dial it up with the energy. Or dial it down so you're response is so dry that people notice.
Watching Step 3 with ADHD:
Oh. OH. So that's what that is? Gooootcha.
No joke, been talking with friends and in group therapy with other ADHD'ers about why people are sometimes just laughing at things we say? This makes a looooot of sense
It's always awesome to see something we regularly get in trouble for (the inability to filter) reframed as a positive (the ability to lower your filter)
Thanks!
Can y’all do a video on how Mrs. Maisel works a room/crowd and is the life of the party?
That rant from Btennan is one of the funniest things to ever come out of College Humor
college humor folks are actually great at improv and great inspiration for socially anxious people.
Thanks
IF YOU LACK DISCIPLINE, READ THIS:
1. If you want to live a happy and successful life, you can't rely on motivation.
Motivation will fail you. Discipline will keep you going.
2. Excuses will make today easy but the future harder.
Discipline is harder today but makes the future easier.
Choose your hard.
3. Choose your goals and write them down.
You must have a clear vision of where you're going or you'll get lost.
4. Focus on the habit, not the outcome.
Say "I'll exercise 4 times a week" instead of saying "I'll lose 0,5 kilograms a week"
5. Prioritize quality sleep. 7-8 hours of sleep every night is crucial.
Get to bed early and wake up early.
Getting up early will make you more disciplined.
6. You need to say "no" more often. Taking on too many tasks will make you feel overwhelmed.
Your time and energy are limited. Every time you say yes to someone else, you say no to yourself.
Prioritize wisely.
7. Just start. Most dreams are killed before they even get going.
Imperfect action is much better than no action. You'll never feel ready.
Break down your goal into smaller steps, set deadlines, and stop over-complicating.
8. Forgive yourself. We all make mistakes.
Don't let mistakes stop you. It's never a failure as long as you learn the lesson and keep going.
very helpful
So frickin happy to see my favorite person, Brennan Lee Mulligan get some love. Dude is my hero.
could you link the full Brennan clip?(:
Looking forward to DnD!
Great video! Since English isn´t my first language, I don´t fully get the idea behind "lowering your filter" What does it mean?

1) Purposely misinterpret
2) Create improv scenes
3) Lower your filter
This is good timing based on what happened to me today and my playful misinterpretation of the statement.
Ever think of doing a video on Alex Volkanovski... dudes belief in himself and mindset is amazing
Hell yeah good luck on your dnd, we need more studies on brennan lee mulligan xD
I think this advice should come with a word of caution. Using these techniques can backfire if you're not great at reading a room. 😅
Hey, as an experienced GM and a big fan of Brannan (though youtube shorts) I love that you made a video about him. I'll definitely check out your video on D&D, although I dislike the fact that the most famous game system is not the most approachable. I would strongly suggest trying the FATE Core game system as it focuses on a story instead of pure fighting (like D&D mostly does)

When someone new asks me what I do, my go to retorts:
"Me? I'm a professional breather. I've been breathing for decades now. I love it."
Or I ask them if they've ever looked closely at an Oreo or other generic sandwich cookie? "I am a Mosaic artist for sandwich cookies. It fulfills my restless creative muse. Hydrox double stuffs my bank account every month in royalties to this day. It might be a hard ego flex, but I'm probably the premier creative in the cookie artistic community. "

What are lessons from the book "Don’t Believe Everything You Think”?
7 Lessons from the book “Don’t Believe Everything You Think”:
1) The root cause of our suffering is our own thinking.
2) Stop thinking and end your problems.
3) Do not let the behaviour of others destroy your inner peace.
4) Our feelings do not come from external events, but from our own thinking about the events.
5) If you want to find the truth, look for simplicity.
6) There is nothing either good or bad but thinking makes it so.
7) To a mind without the limits of thinking, anything is possible.
Wouldn't hurt to try these methods
This too, PLEASE 🙏🏼thank you ❤

Holy Brennan Lee Mulligan, Batman!
Nice 😮
One of my favorite ways to practice is at the grocery store. While I'm shopping I'll pick one item and develop a joke about it to use at the cashier. Let's say a bag of pistachios. As I finish emptying my cart on the belt I'll look puzzlingly at the bag and look like I'm being indecisive, and then I'll randomly shout "ah hell, let's go nuts!" As I toss the bag of pistachios on the belt.
It's gotten the point where I'll see someone putting serious thought into fruit selection and comment "you've got to make sure you're bringing home a good one!"

I like to practise with service people because I'll never see them again. Just last night I was riding a taxi and the driver asked me to type in the amount on the card machine and pay in advance because he was in a hurry. He joked about something like "self service, you get to pay by yourself" and I was like "atleast I don't have to drive by myself ha ha" Got a good chuckle out of him lol

Very nice!! My dudes you really need to watch Phill Hanley, (Canadian stand up comedian) i think is the KING of crowd work, really wach some reels cos this case NEED to be study,
Charlie! You're in a DnD campaign?!?!?!
I just find that whilerunning D&D type games, having 1 shot of alcohol usually does the trick for me to just let loose for my players and give them the best kinds of NPCs to interact with
Brennan!!!

Hey guys can y'all please, please do a video on James Spader's character of Raymond “Red” Reddington from The Blacklist, i mean not only is he a total badass but he's also super smart and confident and doesn't care what others think of him at all, he would be great to do a video on i think.
been wanting to see this for a while!

You all may think Russel Brand was joking about willpower holding up his hair but it is in fact a rare secret ability only a rare few of us are privy to. The man speaks truth and his truth powers his will and that will ultimately gives rise to his hair.

@@uniquecomparison-yi3he Your videos are unsuccessful because you're only using scrolling images, they aren't well drawn nor particularly informative. All the information is pretty obvious, or can be found with a simple internet search, or isn't interesting, or very common. The music is obtrusive. it looks like you're stealing copywritten images. And the design is very messy, chaotic, nothing about it has any uniform in design.
"...professional xylophone player."

1) purposefully misinterpret the other person's question or comment (expand on it); answer non literally (switch from answering sincerely to non literally)
2) create improv scenes - when someone cracks a joke expands on it by pretending that the premise is true; add a character with an unique voice; add specificity (use uncommon words that make sense in that scenario)
3) lower my filter - allow myself to speak whats on my mind even though I don't think its interesting with clarity and power;
SET THE INTENTION TO SAY ONE MORE SENTENCE IN EVERY CONVERSATION THAN I WOULD USUALLY DO

I LOOOVE THIS VIDEO! I’m the biggest lover of Improv, especially comedy improv (I mean my YT channel is literally a bunch of crappy little jokes compiled into video format 😂); my friends always ask me how I have the confidence to perform entire shows ON THE SPOT, and I don’t even have an answer, I just absolutely adore it! ~for me, a big part of it is enjoying making fun of myself to entertain the crowd; when you stop caring so much about what other people are gonna think of you, you might just find that the real you which emerges can be a lot funnier than you anticipated! But again, easier said than done. I’m far from having perfected my craft, but it’s a bloody brilliant skill to have. 😎

When it comes to improvising, having ADHD helps.
When I get up to speed, I get the question: "What movie is that from?"
I say "I made that up now."
They rarely believe me. "But... I heard that in some movie?!" No, they haven't.
