It was such an honor to host the Howdy Release Show!! You can clearly see that anything that happens after 16:17 was not my fault and I hope nobody holds me accountable for what happened. That is everyone elses’ fault!!! Ben Show Foreber
This is so nice. Like the video is great, but the behind the scenes aspect. Just imagining ben asking his friends to do this with him and just let go and have weird fun, it's a special thing for you to have friends that can be silly with you and support you with your weird (and amazing) ideas. All these people have their own ideas and goals and jobs and lives. But they still found ben and this idea important enough to them to take that time out of their days to do this with him and I think that's amazing. Cherish your friends Ben and friends. You all seem like wonderful people and great friends :) Edit: Was one aimee's howdy licking another howdy's ass?
Yeah, everyone should just let go sometimes, wish people took themselves less seriously. And yes, it was licking the stinker, laughed at that so much :D
Who else saw "Ben Show" and immediately knew they were in for something excruciatingly special and awesome and unforgettable and fun and weirdly emotional? Just me?
Hey _____, I wanna make a video about each of our Howdies.. Can you talk a few sentences about your Howdy, say why you love them and show us how they sound.. Love Ben..
When you love something, you must let it go. I won’t be able to sleep at all without Howdy... I mean Armpiss but I’m glad we got these howdys oudy here!
Same! Did they have any idea what they were doing when they said what they were saying? How could you brief someone for what this is going to look like when it's done??
does anyone else think howdys are metaphors for our musical.... thoughts? ideas? a personified of looking at the relationship you have with your music? everytime i finish a ben levin vid i am left with a plethora of thoughts rushing though me all at once. love you man.
I've been feeling like i lost the reason why i do music, i wasn't enjoying it as much for the last few days. This video brought it all back, reminded me again the reason to do music, listen to it and love it. Thanks Ben!! I really love Ben Show!
THE END OF THE HOWDY RELEASE SHOW SONG IS WHAT WE WILL PLAY WHEN THE REVOLUTION COMES AND IT WILL BE SOON. wow this video sure feels like its about something. thank you ben and co for more weird great art
I love how everyone is 100% on the level. Would love to meet a howdy one day. EDIT: just finished the video, on second thought it might be best if I leave the howdys to their business
I love how Nahre Sol's music is so otherworldly but her Howdy has an utterly prosaic, useful everyday talent. It's apparently against the direction, and then even more with it. I love Nahre Sol.
it's like discovering the old fan sitting in the garage that i used to use and was great but i had to put it away because it has dust on it but it's actually the best fan and better than the fancy new Bluetooth fan that i was given for Christmas
I met Yngwie at a guitar center and he was A) open shirt B) leather pants C) driving a classic red Ferrari and D) actually not a douche. I laughed out loud at Elliot though. Ty
Oh wow. The "THAT IS NOT/WHAT WE AGREED UPON" part near the end hits different. Just curious, Ben, was that a singing synthesizer like Vocaloid or Alter/Ego or just very processed recorded voice?
Officially my favorite piece of visual media on this platform. Whimsical, cute, Amigatastic, wonderfully subversive and political yet joyous and celebratory. My hero.
I don't know what this means, but the ending of the video felt like that time I watched my friend beat Breath of the Wild and then looked outside and realized I wasn't going to be able to stay where I was happiest, but I was still aware of my otherwise complete contentment in that moment. Hope you're well, Ben. Going to have to bring my second hand next time to count all the Ben show episodes; not happy about the extra work I'm going to have to do to make that happen, but I'll probably manage. Howdy howdy, Howdy. P.S. Kabocha Forever's Howdy makes my favorite sound and helps me overcome my supermarket anxieties concerning vegetable selection. 10/10
I knew I was going to love it, hence the animation and the amazing team you gathered, but, I didn't imagine I would cry at the end, till the moment I'm writing here. this whole thing touched me on a deeper level and, even leaving me a little lonely (look at all these musician friends! I mostly feel I've got no one to play with), made me remember not to leave behind the colourful imagination I always had since I was a kid. maybe all these howdies came to cheer me up, somehow. :') this is truly inspiring, Ben. thank you so so much. ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜🖤
This was seriously ambitious and well-executed, Ben. And then you think it's all fun and games and then comes the left hook. Always so good and thoughtful and thought-provoking.
Exceptional work Ben. I loveeee the new take on the concept. Totally looking forward to this being a recurring series. You always amaze me with your art, man. This is really something else.
I'd love to see how that is pitched to every howdy, and every musician to be. Yet the way it is you doing you, people doing people, and howdy doing howdies... it's just enough and yet just surpasses every expectation I didn't know I ever had, or don't have at all. SO yeah.. this is great stuff... great stuff...
Here I was sitting, wondering what happened to Ben Levin and will we ever hear from him again, and the whole time he was cooking up another masterpiece...AND he brought Andrew Huang in for good measure! By the way, my son wants to know if he'll see the howdys on the street.
Still processing the final music and transcribing it too lol, seriusly, great great greatt job! I hope to finish the transcription and make a electtronic cover of it, thanks for the constant inspiration

I will send you all the cards!
I thought the whole point is to let them go

It's like David Bruce's 5 composers but if all of the composers dropped acid before writing their pieces...
Ben Levin Decomposers... I want this series.
I can't believe wanting to learn Giant Steps 3 years ago led me to this place
Are the howdies multiplying like rabbits or is it just me?
They are ACTUALLY multiplying like howdys. FML
It's at 69 everyone, please leave it be
@@jsa3rdbb Too late, already 73. Howdys gonna howdy
Yours was the one who got all the ladies...
I'm seeing a ton of howdies lately too it's crazy!

Just you.
Ben needs a show on Adult Swim already! Its like when you have 2 friends that you know will hit it off and can't wait for them to meet.
Everyone always says "howdy", no one ever asks "whydy" :(
I'm sad now.
I’m hungry, how about some Whendy’s?
And by extrapolation, Whatdy, Whendy and Whydy! 😜😉
@@mikegleim5241 Whendy is what we say in Australia... we mean Wednesday but we always find ways to shorten everything
This comment deserves more
I wonder what the email to these collaborators looked like.
Plot twist: There was none neseccary. Howdy's are what you see when being a music RUclipsr and there was nothing weird for them.
Hey _____, I wanna make a video about each of our Howdies.. Can you talk a few sentences about your Howdy, say why you love them and show us how they sound..
Love Ben..
@@MreenalMams The email definitely opened with "Howdy", not "Hey".
>:( Grrrr......
a series of bright colors vaguely resembling words, most likely
Howdy,
Do you have a moment to talk about your Howdy?
Love,
Ben
I would watch a documentary on the making of this video that’s 3x as long as this video
I’m going to tell my kids this was the book of Exodus
When you love something, you must let it go. I won’t be able to sleep at all without Howdy... I mean Armpiss but I’m glad we got these howdys oudy here!
Me too. It seems so clear in retrospect, but we were being very selfish before.
howdy
howdy
Armpiss must be really wet... I mean happy out there!
I will think of your howdy every time I see sweat on my arm.
I was NOT expecting "Armpiss" to ever become a part of my vocabulary.
best name for a howdy for sure
I legit wanna know what Ben's brief to his fellow musicians was for this video.
Same! Did they have any idea what they were doing when they said what they were saying? How could you brief someone for what this is going to look like when it's done??
Exactly. How on earth do you organize something like this that's so consistently weird
"Do you see the absurdity of what you've just asked?" Yes ;-;
so how does it feel to be a human? 🤔
@@YellowJelloMusic idk. I'm a planet
@@AaronFBianchiJupiter a big gassy one
I'm glad the howdies all got out in the end. It was wrong to try and put them back in the howdy holes.
So happy to be a part of this! Such a great video!
I love how adam neely always completely legitimizes crazy ideas with just acting so natural!
and by repeating them
and by repeating them
and by repeating them
Repetition legitimasizes

this is one of the most incredible audiovisual experiences i've had in a while
I have no idea what’s going on, but I am definitely here, now, watching this
does anyone else think howdys are metaphors for our musical.... thoughts? ideas? a personified of looking at the relationship you have with your music? everytime i finish a ben levin vid i am left with a plethora of thoughts rushing though me all at once. love you man.
Never before have I seen RUclips videos able to more accurately depict what a dream feels like than the Ben Show
I've been feeling like i lost the reason why i do music, i wasn't enjoying it as much for the last few days. This video brought it all back, reminded me again the reason to do music, listen to it and love it. Thanks Ben!! I really love Ben Show!
Howdy!!!
Oh man Beardyman
I'm sure your Howdy would be nuts
THE END OF THE HOWDY RELEASE SHOW SONG IS WHAT WE WILL PLAY WHEN THE REVOLUTION COMES AND IT WILL BE SOON.
wow this video sure feels like its about something. thank you ben and co for more weird great art
This is charming and disturbing at the same time. I feel like I was transported to another dimension idk how Ben does it.
Good job to everyone.

Don't worry Jack, someday your Howdy will come to you. Don't lose faith
I love how Nahre Sol's music is so otherworldly but her Howdy has an utterly prosaic, useful everyday talent. It's apparently against the direction, and then even more with it. I love Nahre Sol.
Howdies are just Musical Stands (Aka: _Sutando_ ) and there's no limit as to how far you can take them.
Galaxy situation is totally a stand
this rules. y’all are on a whole other level and I’m so here for it
it's like discovering the old fan sitting in the garage that i used to use and was great but i had to put it away because it has dust on it but it's actually the best fan and better than the fancy new Bluetooth fan that i was given for Christmas
Has anyone seen Jeez I can’t find him

I met Yngwie at a guitar center and he was
A) open shirt
B) leather pants
C) driving a classic red Ferrari
and
D) actually not a douche.
I laughed out loud at Elliot though. Ty
Was he eating Dou nutz?
This episode was awesome. So much musical brilliance from all involved.
this is a surrealist music show. i am blown away
Oh wow. The "THAT IS NOT/WHAT WE AGREED UPON" part near the end hits different. Just curious, Ben, was that a singing synthesizer like Vocaloid or Alter/Ego or just very processed recorded voice?
Officially my favorite piece of visual media on this platform. Whimsical, cute, Amigatastic, wonderfully subversive and political yet joyous and celebratory. My hero.
Fantastic as always, Ben and company.
This is the best youtube collaboration I've ever seen
another surrealist work of art by the one and only ben levin. What a rollercoaster ride this was
i'm only just realizing how much i needed my favourite musicians to have their own shows
im confused about what was happening between paul davis and his howdy.
the strange gargling noises were very concerning.
“Perfect lighthearted and funny video to watch on my break at work” I said to myself 18 minutes ago, like a fool.
also watched this on my work break lol
i would like to know what david bruce's howdy sounds like
“My howdy had never done anything wrong, and my howdy sounds like this”:
(Devil sounds)
So where can we get our Collectible Howdy Trading Cards?
These are the most wonderful howdies
This is the most coolest ridiculously awesome thingiest thing I have seen in a long time. Period.
This is so special, thank you ❤️
Thank you.
That's my man Matt Zappa! Love this!
This is adorable. I love this. I kinda wanna see a kids show out of this, starring the Howdys.
This whole video is such a trip, feel like I don't need use drugs anymore
BRUH the effort !!
Absolutely love howdies
Hope this gets viral
Ben Show is hands down the most immaculately crafted, creative, inspiring show on the Internet today. Thank you Ben & Ben Show Co.
I don't know what this means, but the ending of the video felt like that time I watched my friend beat Breath of the Wild and then looked outside and realized I wasn't going to be able to stay where I was happiest, but I was still aware of my otherwise complete contentment in that moment.
Hope you're well, Ben. Going to have to bring my second hand next time to count all the Ben show episodes; not happy about the extra work I'm going to have to do to make that happen, but I'll probably manage.
Howdy howdy,

This was simply amazing.
Exceptional work Ben. I loveeee the new take on the concept. Totally looking forward to this being a recurring series. You always amaze me with your art, man. This is really something else.
I love the beautiful chaos that is your mind, Ben.
This is the craziest thing Ive ever seen on RUclips
One of the best videos on the internet.
It's only February and this is already the best thing I'll see all year.
Can't.
Look.
Away.
Thank you!
If anyone wonders what taking psychedelics is like, this video perfectly sums up the experience
The effort and love this took. I don't know what I expected, but this was worth watching and experiencing.
Every new howdy made me loudly cheer at my screen! They actually made me so very happy!
This is the best RUclips show ever produced. Thank Ben, ur my howdy.
My howdy's name is Sprockles and she loves to play 🙂
I'm emotionally exhausted after watching this, and I love it.
Hi Ben! Just started watching the video and already I have a huge smile on my face, thank you!
I kept thinking watching this, like, what did Ben ask of these people? Like, you have this creature and... It's so bizarre and awesome!
Is BenLevinWave already a distinct genre? In my heart, it already is.
This is one of the most creative things in youtube, awesome
Ben you are a magic human and so are all of your friends
This really hits the spot
that was the best 18 minutes on youtube. so nice i watched it twice
I'd love to see how that is pitched to every howdy, and every musician to be.
Yet the way it is you doing you, people doing people, and howdy doing howdies... it's just enough and yet just surpasses every expectation I didn't know I ever had, or don't have at all.
SO yeah.. this is great stuff... great stuff...
No cinema4ds were harmed during this taping.
Ben your animation are amazing!
I absolutly loved this! Happy!
Ben, thank you for all the hard work and reminding people like me of the pure fun and *wonder* of music.
Here I was sitting, wondering what happened to Ben Levin and will we ever hear from him again, and the whole time he was cooking up another masterpiece...AND he brought Andrew Huang in for good measure!
By the way, my son wants to know if he'll see the howdys on the street.
This could have not come at a better time
Ben Show always makes me feel better when I'm feeling bad
I don't understand it completely but im still crying. wowie
