Do you know why(pronounced with v), I, sigmand freud, crossed ze road? To get to ze ozer side heir freud? No it vas to bang my mozer and kill my fazer!
I thought I would watch ZeFrank1 videos back to back but it is not possible. It is hard to first completely grasp one videos content, they are so deep. Lots of attention has to be paid.
Zefrank, thank you so much your videos. They make me really happy. Thank you for existing. Just listening to you today has made my day better and for that I am grateful.
This video was uploaded at the moment I started feeling exactly what you were describing. Thank you for letting me feel like it's okay to overthink. You are amazing.
the way the world perceives life seems to be explained in ways that i don't tend to think. i just realized now that i don't watch your videos for explanations or advice, i watch them for questions you make me think about. i'm very glad i found this channel.
A couple of years ago, I did a research paper as well as a presentation on the cognitive science of laughter. I was obsessed with the idea at the time, and it still fascinates me that laughter can be controlled or uncontrollable, but nearly every human can tell the difference between real laughter and fake laughter. LAUGHTER!
ze, you do help everyone going to something at some point in their lives. But almost every video you have posted has a direct view of what happens in my life right now at the moment they post. thank you. thank you very much for your help
I relate to so much of many of your videos I’m a big over thinker, over reactor, over emotional, over anxious, over critical of myself and others, overly self aware, I’m up I’m down. I’m a hard person to love and I loose a lot of people, jobs. My emotional state and my physical state are showing I’m having so much stress and my health is suffering. I’m only now at 43 finally seeing doctors and getting the treatment I need both emotionally and physically. It’s helpful to hear your words and know I’m not alone like this although I’d never wish it on a single soul. But thanks for putting yourself out there I hope you know that you’re helping people and it’s worth putting yourself out there. ☺️
Overthinking. I liked the correlation between creativity and relationships. Sometimes I see relationships as going through those cycles to bring it to its real purpose. The same thing with my creative work. Each cycle seems to add something or take something away from my work but always in the right direction. Change is constant. That I know without having to overthink it.
Just what I needed. My exams are a few days away now and it stressing me out, partly because it's National & also could determine what I could possibly do in the future. There is no outlet for me to release the stress but after watching this, I guess I could now say laughter. I would get the urge to laugh in the middle of class even though nothing funny was mentioned or done. Teachers & friends find it creepy but now I actually know why. Thanks, Ze! Now onto my usual mugging routine.
I've always been annoyed or angry or perplexed when told not to "over-think" something, or that I was "over"- thinking something. What most people call over-thinking is what's made me able to understand myself and the world.
well.. it's a stretch - but the idea would be that there would be an initial surge of feeling like something was wrong, but then the psychotic part would kick in and feel like it was ok to hurt someone.. which would be sort of a relief, and the tension in that would make LOLs? not sure...
Re overthinking, it's said a lot in various practices, including creative ones, that the trick is to learn the rules and then forget them. I think this is pretty acurate, you need to think before, fill your brain with knowledge and ideas and ways you could do it, then let your conscious brain get out of the way and let the creative parts come through in a relaxed way. It's no coincidence that many great scientists find the piece of information that brings their work together through their dreams
You tell her that's how you feel. Don't be afraid to say "I don't know" but don't give up half way through the conversation either. Afterwards you may see a different side of her that will change your mind. Or she may see a different side of you that will make letting go easier. Either way, I wish you both good luck.
I'm not Ze, but I do believe the answer. Some people would call this "two faced," and, for the most part, that's about accurate. Not in the negative way, but the virtual way. Different people, due to our experience with them, bring out different emotions in us; different "sides," if you will. We know that these friends, when together, react a certain way in conjunction to certain things, and then we focus on that. We gather with them for those reasons, as well.
In that "bye-bye song" I'm pretty sure a lot of the fun/energy-to-be-released in that slap is that it comes out of nowhere and because it is unnecessary, energy that adds to the shock and then the release.
When you were talking about the laughter being the release of excess emotion..it makes a lot of sense because thats what i do when at the doctor. with shots ad things of that nature, i have so much nervous laughter
I know this a really old video, but you are a super weird guy, and that is awesome. I love these type of vlogs, your weirdness, and your reality. I wish I actually knew you as a friend, because I think we could have some deep conversations.
i overthink a lot of things that used to come naturally. sadly they came without thought because i was either drunk or stoned. sobriety, even three years in, has left me thinking about simple, everyday things WAY too hard. but don't worry, i'm working on it. i think.
Human beings are the only creatures on Earth who laugh. For we are the only ones who suffer so greatly that we needed to invent laughter. All laughter comes from tragedy (usually someone else's).
I can't be doing this for every video. Your interpretation of laughter is most likely part of your trauma. Laughter comes in different forms including nervous one and it's a body's instinct to signal inability to cope / "at a loss for words".
I have to just listen to these videos, if i watch him too long i find myself in some kind of hypnotic state and i get worried he's secretly trying to control my subconscious.
I don't hear a voice that tells me not to over-think things. I over-think until my head starts to hurt. Maybe that pain is my version of your "surfer dude" voice.
Ze, is this why they say laughing prolongs your life? The fact that you were unnecessarily scared and tense for a bit and didn't die. The people who don't end up laughing are probably worse off.
I've always assumed laughter was like tickling your mind. It happens when you experience something that you don't experience often, like when someone touches you in a ticklish spot. So we laugh at people farting or getting suddenly hit because it was unexpected and doesn't occur regularly.
we expect that thing to be delevered a normal way, so our brain puts energy into responding normally. But when that thing is delivered oddly we can no longer respond normally, so that energy is put into laughter.
"The Bye bye song made me lol when the guy hauled off and smacked the other! What is it about hitting each other that we find so funny? : D" "Oh Amy, what an interesting question" ... made even more interesting, because the guy that "hit" the other, AND the guy that got "hit", were the same guy... in fact all four people in that Bye bye song were the SAME guy!
Omg I'm one of the first So I'm going to say zefrank never ceases to make me reflect more and make me understand simple things I have never quite grasped but were always floating on the edge of my subconscious.
what if we don't have that voice in our head to stop us from overthinking? i actually overthink about the smallest things and when i don't know something it bothers me.
At the moment, on a simply visual and amusing face value level, I'm still waiting for the rubber duck I noticed over your left shoulder around 2:30 to jump up and jam on the cool little piano you set him up with.... Pertinent introspect to follow after I sleep a bit. Anyhoo, I appreciate your perspective on life. Cheers! ~DW in NYC
Monty Python really pushed the boundary of the "Why-is-the-slap-funny" paradigm in Holy Grail when King Arthur mutilates the Dark Knight. It is one of the most essential comedy scenes of all time... When they showed it to audiences in New York before the film was released, no one laughed at all for the first two sword slashes. Then, the audience released the Dark Knight wasn't really bothered, and the laughter was uproarious. Talk about releasing emotional inertia!
"It is possible to over think, but first you have to think"
-zefrank 2012
That's a quote to save for later
"And bad taste is better than no taste."
Ye
That freud joke was so genius and perfect.
Do you know why(pronounced with v), I, sigmand freud, crossed ze road? To get to ze ozer side heir freud? No it vas to bang my mozer and kill my fazer!
I'm still recovering from it. It was amazing.
Does anyone else still watch these videos every now and then?
ToaPohatuNuva I'm watching them for the very first time and immensely enjoying it
Also watching for the first time. I’ve seen some of his videos when they were new but not very many.
Yuuuuup
Yes
100%
sure - "laughter" by robert r. provine and "the act of creation" by koestler
And again i spent a whole day watching zefrank ... a good day tho
+Lena König ah one of those days
You created joy, it's a good thing.
I love that I always learn something when I watch your videos, and also end up somehow feeling less alone by the end as well. Thank you, Ze.
I thought I would watch ZeFrank1 videos back to back but it is not possible. It is hard to first completely grasp one videos content, they are so deep. Lots of attention has to be paid.
Zefrank, thank you so much your videos. They make me really happy. Thank you for existing. Just listening to you today has made my day better and for that I am grateful.
I miss these videos! They're so inspiring and they age very well.
YOUR EYES. ARE SO BIG. AND POPPING.
Well, I love them :I
Scarbs Never said that was a bad thing!
Bipolar eyes
This Bye Bye Song, (at the end), was absolutely beautiful! I love that sweet harmony!
Ze is the guy who inspired me to get off my butt and actually start making videos. So honoured to be featured!

I just realized he doesent blink,what an intimidating deathstare :D
An awesome guy,big fan!
He blinked in this video
My favourite thing: pausing the video every now and then and seeing the incredible expressions that Ze has when he speaks.
1:27 Jesus, Maria and Joseph he BLINKED Zefrank just BLINKED thats gonna be on top of the most irrevelant things is saw today!! L´chaim

I just really like watching his face...
ahh but wheezy could fart on a twig and i would still laugh.

His eyes are VERY uncanny valley

The Bye Bye Song on this video here is one of my favourites that I've seen so far. Whoever is it, nice work!
I've always been annoyed or angry or perplexed when told not to "over-think" something, or that I was "over"- thinking something. What most people call over-thinking is what's made me able to understand myself and the world.
Whenever I start overthinking something in life... I always come back to your videos :)
I really enjoyed this video, Ze. And can I just say, I am so very glad you're back.
well.. it's a stretch - but the idea would be that there would be an initial surge of feeling like something was wrong, but then the psychotic part would kick in and feel like it was ok to hurt someone.. which would be sort of a relief, and the tension in that would make LOLs? not sure...
Omg the bye bye songs are always so epic. The bar gets set higher and higher each time!
Thank you ze frank for being a genius...and for being slightly insane. You are truly in inspiration to me.
I have been praying for advice like this for so long! Thank you again for answering questions I didn't even know I had.

Thanks! I'm only just starting, but I think it's taking off... :)
"He was highlarious!"
In every video I have a staring contest with him, and I have lost.
That wink at 0:58 kills me. Perfect timing Ze, thanks for the belly laugh.
That was one of the best "bye bye" songs to date! KUDOS to the guy who made it! :D
Me, I don't think there's such thing as overthinking, just focusing on the wrong aspects. Thinking in the wrong direction.
I love listening to you talk, your speaking pattern and your voice combined is just awesome :D
I love how you take even the simplest question so seriously :) you're a good person, Ze
The face on that "Laughter" book. It's like he's as excited for these episodes as I am!
Complete silence, a blank look, followed by crickets chirping...
Hey Ze, I'm not overthinking right now.
I really love humans. We laugh and party, and then we question why we do so. So unique to our other planet-mates.
I'm not Ze, but I do believe the answer. Some people would call this "two faced," and, for the most part, that's about accurate. Not in the negative way, but the virtual way.

Its midnight, and I can't stop watching these videos.
I am just happy that there is laughter in this world. I always make sure I get a daily dose of laughter each day, also smiles. :)
i always feel he's staring deep into my soul when i watch these videos! O.O
The opening scene and bye bye song were -- wow. You have talented friends, Ze.
That bye bye song rocked it! Classic acapella.
this is exactly what i needed to hear going into my second year of college. overthinking makes things unbearable.
best bye bye song yet. And there have been some good ones.
Oh my god, that Bass part in the Bye-bye song. MMMM. Gotta love that low voice.
That was a great Intro, It was like an intro to a childrens tv show, trippy and comforting.
Zefrank's eyes are bloody hypnotic
I keep staring at his eyes... Its the center of attention, and now I realize that he has amazing eyes.
Consider that the sound is important factor, and that children laugh when they are uncomfortable. Great job!
Soooo glad you're back Ze!
Ze,I just wanted to say your really amazing and thanks for doing what you do.
I love the comedy and laughter books in the background.
Ze, your videos always make me smile, laugh, and also revisit the bigger questions of my existence. Thanks. :)
In that "bye-bye song" I'm pretty sure a lot of the fun/energy-to-be-released in that slap is that it comes out of nowhere and because it is unnecessary, energy that adds to the shock and then the release.
I love this man so much
When you were talking about the laughter being the release of excess emotion..it makes a lot of sense because thats what i do when at the doctor. with shots ad things of that nature, i have so much nervous laughter
Ah. That splains why the more realistic or unexpected the hit, the funnier it gets. Thats a good backhand.
I love your videos, Ze. they make me think about things I usually wouldn't think about..!
The bye-bye song ending with the little "For the Longest Time" bit made me laugh. :D
I think that when he winked was the only time we will ever see this man come close to blinking.
you make so much sense it scared me sometimes, but it's a good scary because now i don't feel so alone with having these thoughts/feelings
I know this a really old video, but you are a super weird guy, and that is awesome. I love these type of vlogs, your weirdness, and your reality. I wish I actually knew you as a friend, because I think we could have some deep conversations.
That was the best bye bye song yet. It just... yes.
my favorite Bye Bye Song yet, and I said the same about the last one. Where are these incredibly amazing people coming from?!
Best bye bye song yet!!
i overthink a lot of things that used to come naturally. sadly they came without thought because i was either drunk or stoned. sobriety, even three years in, has left me thinking about simple, everyday things WAY too hard. but don't worry, i'm working on it. i think.
Human beings are the only creatures on Earth who laugh. For we are the only ones who suffer so greatly that we needed to invent laughter.
All laughter comes from tragedy (usually someone else's).
If this dude said anything i would believe it.His voice is amazing!
I can't be doing this for every video. Your interpretation of laughter is most likely part of your trauma. Laughter comes in different forms including nervous one and it's a body's instinct to signal inability to cope / "at a loss for words".
The Freud quip at the beginning was poetry.
thats a very cool song at the end! the best one so far
He blinked one and a half times this vid and he made my eyes round while he speaks...his eyes are so big
I have to just listen to these videos, if i watch him too long i find myself in some kind of hypnotic state and i get worried he's secretly trying to control my subconscious.
I like how he's always got relevant things in the background :P
I don't hear a voice that tells me not to over-think things. I over-think until my head starts to hurt. Maybe that pain is my version of your "surfer dude" voice.
Ze, is this why they say laughing prolongs your life? The fact that you were unnecessarily scared and tense for a bit and didn't die. The people who don't end up laughing are probably worse off.
Ze, if you're reading the comments right now, I would like you to know that I think you're absolutely brilliant.
That was the best bye-bye song yet!
I never regret watching your videos
The hilarity of a german guy talking like a cliché german. It makes me so happy. Oh boy.
I've always assumed laughter was like tickling your mind. It happens when you experience something that you don't experience often, like when someone touches you in a ticklish spot. So we laugh at people farting or getting suddenly hit because it was unexpected and doesn't occur regularly.

i just got a full sized bed for the first time and i didnt realize how terribly lonely it would feel. it's making me overthink my entire life.
Omg I'm one of the first
So I'm going to say zefrank never ceases to make me reflect more and make me understand simple things I have never quite grasped but were always floating on the edge of my subconscious.
You, sir, are just the sort of conversationalist I strive to associate myself with.
what if we don't have that voice in our head to stop us from overthinking? i actually overthink about the smallest things and when i don't know something it bothers me.
