never have porridge before corporate propaganda
Or a "Americone Dream" malted milkshake 😏
That's antisemitic 😅
Now when I think of Blackstone, I won't think of a heartless corporation squeezing failing companies for every penny they're worth before abandoning them and the employees. I'll think of the office. hahahahaha
they seem like they would hsve been super cool fellas to meet in the 60s, before they had that idea to become real life supervillains sucking the lifeforce from society.
Dont forget buying up real estate from private owners then gauging rent prices and running slum lord properties that you have to harass them to fix anything that breaks like a sewer mainline back up that spews raw sewage into your sink tub and toilets if you dare run water and let's it stay like that for 5 days before finally sending a plumber ( yes personal experience I'm biased they are dog shit) so grateful not to have them as slumlords anymore
Preferrable to let the company go under, to be fair.
That’s hedge funds , private equity firms tend to be more long with the companies they invest in.
It is pretty funny that Blackstone and Blackrock are both similar things with a cartoon villain corporation name, but they both have to clarify which one they are
I also get them confused with black cube which is somehow even worse
@@sonny423 "black cube" the autistic nephew of Blackstone and Blackrock :)
Used to be one company, iirc
Yeah I always enjoy this too. Not at all like the black cube of Saturn
@@shamanic_nostalgiareal ones know
I love everything that you and everyone behind this channel does.

Honestly me too

What if he kills babies?
how on earth did the marketing guy convince the execs to willingly participate in this.
Surveillance
Blackmail
If it's anything like the big companies I've worked at, the execs were probably at the forefront of this
Im in college for Engineering right now but part of me wants to switch to marketing purely see how far i can push execs to go on dumb shit like this. "Oh? you want everyone to be smiling and happy during your diabetes medication ad? How about we add a laugh track?"
@@efovex I was gonna say, no marketing department in the world has this kind of pull. This was definitely Steve's idea.
In 2020 video they wrote that it's their culture to make fun of themselves for the holiday video so yea
delighted to see the people who own a majority of the country living out their failed musical theater dreams
Majority? I don't think people realize how tiny private equity is compared to everything else. Hell, Blackstone isn't even the largest private equity company.
@@rightwingsafetysquad9872 Hyperbole
😂😂
They should do what they wanna do, like everybody else.
@@Tyler-vw9bh Hyperbole doesn't explain it. Hyperbole is an overstatement for effect. This is a category error.
"That guy fired my dad once" I cannot explain how much I want to know if that's actually true because wow
Yes tell us!!
Yes!!!! I'd love to know that story!!
Its a shame being this evil is way more boring in reality 😢
Eichmann in Jerusalem
That’s actually profound
ask Hannah Arendt
Invets in fossil fuels, world dies, win
It's called the banality of evil
This gives me a newfound respect for sickos like JP Morgan & HL Hunt. As bad as they were, at least they didn't have the pretense to put on a confetti robe and pretend that they're 'hip'. If someone had recommended the cultural equivalent of this video to them, they would've fed them to their specialized squad of German Shepards.
Omg this comment 😂
they lacked the pretense to be animals without donning a grotesque mask, as opposed to whatever the fuck is going on here
Now that is a holiday special I would pay real assets to see.
I wanna see the German shepherds!
I love how they say they "build wealth". I used to think they didn't really create anything and just squeezed money out of businesses to make regular people poorer and investors richer! Really changed my mind with that one!!!
well technically even if you tear down someone else's house and use the materials to add on to your mansion you're still 'building'.. can't catch these guys in a lie, they've had their laywers very thoroughly weasel out nothing but (technically) true facts
By taking things from people who have no wealth to compound the wealth of those with wealth, they are indeed building wealth. Honesty!
Blackstone builds assisted living facilities that cost 10k a month. No worries though, you can turn over your house to pay when you die.
I'm not sure I understand, investments help people build things, and if the risk pays off you make money...
@@JukaDominator They're playing a zero sum game, concentrating ownership of existing business and properties to drive up prices and reap the benefits.
It's a staple of these firms really, they have no intention of managing/creating businesses because that limits the profit/employee ratio. Their model is focused on amassing wealth and ownership to take money from poor people and pass it to shareholders while taking a slice.
"Too many people with top-shelf educations go on to lead lives of professional misery, surviving on rationalizations, coming home to their families morally emaciated, because it’s draining to spend your life pretending to believe." - Anand Giridharadas
Ah, to see up close the people powering the private equity machine furthering wealth inequity and destroying democracy in America. Thank you Good Work for demonstrating so well the right response.
He should talk. 😂😂😂
I’d say that’s true for 99.5% of Wall Street
But if you actually talked to the few people at the top it’s pretty clear that they enjoy what they’re doing
You have to work 70+ hour weeks regardless to be at the top of anything and that’s the platform that they’ve chosen. For most people, I’d agree that isn’t the case
Other financial-sector-edutainment-news-brands might hint at the dry gag during a Blackstone reaction video, but only Good Work follows through with multiple wet retches. Bravo.
Commitment
😂😂😂
And the fact that it didn't turn orange after the second or third go of it meant there was plenty more left to finish the video for us. I appreciate their commitment to journalism.
“multiple wet wretches” is a lovely string of words
So well done! I can almost smell the puke through the screen.
Oh wait that’s my puke that’s on me. Oh god
Pin this one chief.
I laughed outloud lmaoo
Even with the Office reference, this just feels... insidious. Honestly, it doesn't even make me angry. Just scared.
The Blackstone Taylor Swift holiday video isn't real, it can't hurt you
The Blackstone Taylor Swift holiday video:
I'm Canadian so I've never heard of Blackstone (if you mentioned them in one of your past videos, sorry I forgot) so I decided to google them and y'know, I sure am glad they decided to put up this video because before this, I never knew about their: illegal child labor, direct contribution to the deforestation of the Amazon rainforest, and major contributions to making what was an already bad situation (the 2007-2008 financial crisis) worse. Now I do. Thanks Blackstone!!
They bought my local hospital, made it for-profit, fired half the staff, and closed numerous wings. I now would have to drive for an hour and a half to receive maternity care.
@@enemyspotted2467 Good god that's horrible, I'm so sorry 😔
Lets go! Build with blackstone!
This is their sixth holiday video. It took them so long to get noticed. All that hard work finally paying off
Yea I watched them all and I particularly love 2019 and 2020!
Nothing warms the heart like an underdog story
IMO this years is the worst, too try hard. Previous years were actually cute and wholesome … it’s a down year so they gotta market aggressively 😂
"if i cringe any harder i might become a fossil"

"Bwerughearrghagehegh"
-Dan Toomey
we genuinely live in a dystopian future
don't be shy @Blackstone. turn on comments 🥰
I'm glad I'm not the only one who reacted profusely puking
Watching the smile slowly drain from your face as you realize they are about to do the worst possible thing at 2:13 makes this whole endeavour worth it 😂
Blackstone is a fun place to work at.
"fun"
Person behind the camera: “Should we go the doctor?”
Dan, an Intellectual: “I don’t believe in that.”
This is pure comedic genius. You, that is - *not* Blackstone.
It somehow felt very important to make that distinction.
I‘m so glad you started this channel. We needed this kind of entertainment, it’s unique.
how can i dislike the original video without having to even click on it
Thank you so much. I felt really sick too, and this made me feel so understood. My belly is okay, and what I felt is normal, and I know there is you who is sensitive to this stuff as well. Thank you so much.
Mom, can you pick me up? I’m scared.
I love that when the music starts you can see Dan thinking of a million jokes but at the same time being to stunned to say anything.
I can’t believe I laughed five times at the same gag. Amazing job.
leave it to Blackstone to unlock a new layer of Hell
🫡🤗 Happy Holidays Thanks always for the uploads. Feels like an esoteric gift everytime you upload 😆
I really hope these people are actors and not employees forced to participate. They probably are, in which case, they couldn't hire better actors with all that money? Or a better marketing team to know this is cringe? 😭
These are all senior executives at blackstone
Yep they really work there
You have to consider that these people are clinically insane.
They get paid enough to do this, trust me there.
Idk why but day by day, the more I see this man, the more I love him🤗
We're definitely in the dystopia timeline
Jesus that got me so damn good. I really needed that laugh, actually got me wheezing. Love your stuff and Good Work.
I was just gonna comment "I shouldn't eat while watching this it's gonna make me sick" then you immediately pulled the vomit gag. Glad it's a universal feeling
"That guy fired my dad once"
Such a great video to wake up to :)
This just kept getting better and better xD
My 4 year old's response "wow that's a loud noise!!"
I always joke about puking, but this is the first time in my life watching something actually make me physically ill. Had to pause for a minute there lol
could not have picked a better video to chuck on at dinnertime
You can hear the pain in Dan's voice during this entire video. It's a physical, visceral, animalistic response.
That was really awesome. I really loved it.
Dude why do you not have 1000 videos I'm trying to binge watch tf out u ma boi
Hi to everyone.I, a 79 year old in a top ship, in the condition to take part in a 70.3 Ironman if asked.living very happy in Italy in the company of a Top chef..This is the first time i came across this Blackstone.How did i live with out them all these years,or wat it my luck not to have found them.Happy holydays everyone.
I love Blackstone™ (not to be confused with Blackrock) because it is in this video
I love that the second half of this video can just be used as a reaction other things too 😂
i am dying !!! this was a good reaction video. Happy holidays to you and the team. 2924 is going to be huge. recessionwise
Holiday joy restored. Good work.
BLACKSTONE A BOP bruh.
I love this channel
We need behind the scenes of this video! Please! I’m begging
You initial reaction to the “singing” portion was just perfect. The slow subtle shifting of your head away from the screen was almost exactly what mine was doing once they started doing their, what have you.
Tears are streaming down my face and I can barely breathe
love this channel
you dudes are comedic masterminds!
This actually makes me feel unadulterated rage. These people are ruining our lives. These people are the reason no one can afford a house.
"The definition of the alternatives is the supreme instrument of power"
This is absolute gold
The only reaction video we need
Fantastic
Chutulu attacks a small fishing village psychically by projecting this song on repeat into the villagers dreams. One lady survives but cuts off her ears and blinds herself. The others drowned themselves in their toilets.
Now that's what I call Wood Gork_
Great video! You guys do the best gags
Good work really does some good work with these videos
that's crazy, thanks for bringing attention to it
😂😂god!!! if i could erase my memory and watch it again ....I really would
I didn't think he'd do the vomit gag again
its amazing you convinced blackstone to debase themselves so much just for this video - amazing work...good work even.
LMFAO. You're reaction had me ROFL. 🤣
Dan Toomey in his Reaction Channel Era >>>>>>>>>>>>
this made my year
careful Dan, blackstone might try and invest on those chucks XD - this is the corpo cringe that develops ulcers, stay strong Good_Work
2:56 He had a full body reaction OMG
Help I can't stop shivering
2023's banger toon. Upbeat.
As soon as you threw up you gained a new sub. I laughed so damn hard.
I’m a huge fan Dan Toomey
This was a very fun video to watch
Amazing
Keep up your work guys! Good idea with this format, switching it up a bit.
Once upon a time almost every Blackstone employee felt alive
"That guy fired my dad once." got me
WHEN HE SAID I DIDN’T EAT ANYTHING IN THE LAST WEEK I FELT THAT
Dan never fails to do Good Work
just what I expected
Good work 🎉
I haven't laughed this hard at regurgitation since Monty Python's Meaning of Life.
The moment they started the music and your entire being recoiled 😂😂😂😂😂😂
You took sarcasm to the next level, bravo!😂
Seems like a very real and organic reaction.
This isn't even hello fellow kids, this is hello fellow humans level...
I haven’t laughed so hard at a RUclips video in a LONG time
To secure my future carrier I will leave no comment…
Reminds me of that whole "GNB Cares" yearly video ordeal from Himym 😂😂
Subscribed!
All I really have left is a sad sigh
Dan Toomey, comedic genius
This was funny af
