It’s fine because he actually has musical skills. Ever been invited to a multi-child recital? Don’t go unless you’re prepared to paste on an interested, “good effort” smile for an hour or so. Alcohol helps, but don’t drink so much you get the giggles.
Can it have a music video where the olives marriage is falling apart and he's singing alone in his apartment after she leaves? And can she maybe be a duck?

Hey James, I went into the hospital just 4 days after you published this with double bacterial Pneumonia and Covid19 aquired at work...I love your videos and this definitely was a great one and the dog, adorable!!! Thanks for the joy you bring to your fans cause I needed the smiles and giggles so don't stop entertaining the world in that special way you do ok? Please, stay safe and well cause being near death the way I was changed a lot of things for me...and made me wish we had a NHS like Britian!!!!
Theory: James is just getting crazier and crazier due to lockdown and this is his attempt at distracting us from the card game. IM WAITING FOR MY CARD GAME JAMES. (I got 2 decks btw) Also thank you for working out some rules which I will probably homebrew slightly anyway as I cannot make rules from the top of my head.
That's definitely a problem. As evidence by the clip itself. That thing is so ridiculously cute I don't think I'd ever be able to do anything other than play with it. No work would ever get done.
Could 100 cans of energy drink arranged in the colours of the rainbow act as a replacement for the aestheticly pleasing row of tonic water? Edit: Cans. It's cans not bottles. My apologies
sure. are we talking about filled cans or are you going to drink them all and then place them. ( O and monitor your heart beat might give a nice fast beat)
@@sirBrouwer I already drank all of them. It's just a little collection that evolved over the span of a year. I didn't monitor my heartbeat but I'm sure it would've made a great bass line for a metal beat
@@sibanbgd100 There might be a small problem. Really, just a tiny one. I don't really enjoy the taste of it. Now, should i still get some so i can line them up in an aestheticly pleasing way in my fridge, you know, just for the enjoyment of my eyes or would that be considered a waste?
At first i thought James had lost his mind, when in reality, his mind is losing him. James' brain! if you can hear me, you're doing just fine. The body is currently in a state of shock, keep it together, everything is going to be OK.
You don't get it. The olive song, HE WAS TRYING TO TELL US SOMETHING... A solitary olive. All alone, hanging from a tree. There's no one you're supposed to find or even look for. Instead be a nice Topenade, be who you think you should be and all will come. Change yourself first
I'll be honest, that puppy made my day. As did the fact that I think he was attacking James' ear vigorously. It was adorable. And nice to see someone else also has that happen with their puppy.
Every time I see a James Veitch video, I realize how much I need this type of creative energy in my life. Thanks for the laughs, James! And what is that darling puppy's name?
I get Pyramid Song stuck in my head every few weeks. Thanks to this video, literally every time I do I think of you James. Congratulations on hard-wiring that association 😆
My best friend and I used to watch James's videos during school lessons before the pandemic. Just finished watching the video. Immediately send it to her. Thanks for creating a bit joy in quarantine!
I knew there was something special about you, *Veitch!* You are also a *LEFT-HANDED!!!* Followed you since the great duck invasion. The towel rack was brilliant!
Okay.... I hate to admit it... but I'd do that with that bunny in Animal Crossing too. I never left the first part of some Zelda game because I spent hours just cutting down bushes. They just kept growing back. My husband said it wasn't a gardening game, to this day... it's a gardening game.
James, thank you for this little ray of sunshine during lockdown. I think you saved my sanity. P.s. Please record your next Elton John Tribute. We need your humour!!
Ah, James...You’re absolutely magic. I have got to be SuperHyperLiteral with you about how much your work makes me laugh. It does...a lot. I’m one of those people who have that quiet laugh on the verge of a soprano giggle. You can’t tell if we’re laughing if it’s us alone or if something is wrong and we needed help...yet I am able to blend in a crowd with plenty of the noise makers. Thank you!

My mind is like an internet browser, 17 tabs are open, 4 of them are frozen and I don’t know where the music is coming from but I bought your book and know where the source of laughter will be coming from.
You know, you can actualy play Pandemic alone. You just need to play several characters on your own. It might be a bit difficult for a first game, but since the game is fully cooperative with no hidden information, it's actualy a pretty decent game to play alone.
Hey man, thanks for addressing the trauma. It's really fine, worth it to give that Zipper T. Bunny what for. Anyway, I really enjoyed visiting your island, see you next year!
James and his many charms ❤️ I have literally tried all of these things...the baking, the song writing...not good at any of it! 😕 PS: I read the book during the first week of quarantine! Hilarious.
Man, he is so productive in quarantine 😳 Lol, I just study for an hour, exercise for an hour and the rest of the time I switch between RUclips, Twitch and napping 😂😂 Edit: And of course eating 😂😂
That sounds nice and relaxing! For me, not much changed. I still work as I did before but business is slower. I think now is a fine time to launch a hand sanitizer and face mask manufacturing biz, lol.
What does MFC mean? I recently learned BLM does not ONLY mean Black Lives Matter, but also Bureau of Land Management (here in U.S.). BLM makes rural whites quiver as much as blacks do at "police".
Things to do in a Lockdown: Search RUclips for more content. Find James Veitch has a video. Watch said James Veitch video. Watch James Veitch video again. Try to remember the lines you deemed funny. Try to play the Piano like James Veitch. Realize you neither own a piano nor know anything about playing piano and try to play the French Horn in a similar way to James Veitch. Realize you are terrible at playing the French Horn and give it up to try to learn other lines from video. Realize it's not funny out of context. Show it to a friend online to try to relate. Friend finds it not funny and you have to convince them that you like to watch interesting content. Search RUclips for more content.

With James dressed up in a full olive costume.
Yesssssss! Maybe he could make another song about "a single vitamin c tablet left"
“He was just a solitary olive, But where were his friends?” That made me really sad 😔
Soo deep...
were, not where I think?
i need a full version of solitary olive 👁👄👁
I feel much better about it when I remember that the olive is 1 of many growths on the tree and has hundreds of leafy siblings who all adore him/her. No? Just me then? 'K.
I think it’s a metaphor for loneliness and death...
I think i deeply reflects the ontological statement, of the play as a whole.
Realize that James is just using this video as an excuse to show off his musical skills
@@alicekins and sell is game

He does have some skills 😁

Well, I'm 70, and I remember watching the Red Skelton show on Sunday nights. Still, I agree James is right up there.
You can play pandemic solo, just control 2 or more characters
But watch out for cheaters
Kinda hard to cheat at a cooperative game, even if played solo.
His manager could join in
When I play, I usually let my imaginary girlfriend win.
Everyone hates the bunny. Even people who haven't played hate the bunny.
I’ve never played that game and I can confirm I hate that bunny.
A relative plays it. I hate the bunny.
