I saw Brandon live once and he is such a powerhouse. He was covered in sweat by the end of the show because he DID. NOT. STOP! The entire show. He ran around, danced, talked, laughed, acted, and MCed his own prerecorded segments. He was AMAZING. If you ever get the chance to see him EVER please please go see him! It was unforgettable! He was so kind and sweet and grateful and you could really see him sharing his heart. 🥹💖🥰

The fact Brandon said that humans innately know how to laugh from birth which means we inherently experience humour and desire bonds really strikes true to me. Humans and even some animals experience laughter (or closest equivalent) and by extent the emotions, and desire of bonds that comes with it, even at ages with little to no real sense of self or sentience. It isn't taught to you, it's something that sits in your soul and is drawn forth uncontrollably when interacting with those you love, or when something happens that creates that same reaction. Humans are inherently positive beings. For me, this even furthers the proof that negative people are the product of positive people put through negative experiences, and that humans aren't fundamentally evil beings like a lot think. It's cool to think about that fact knowing this, the question of human morality.

I really find it fascinating too! I used to work with children who were a year and a half to two years of age. That period of life for a child is so pivotal because it’s their first time experiencing what the world is like beyond their past constraints. They’re walking, many can talk (on varying levels depending on age and the individual), and they’re learning how to interact with adults and children their own age. I’ve seen examples of extreme compassion from the youngest of toddlers. My favorite example is of one summer when I was watching four boys. I had one on the changing table and was dealing with that situation when one of the boys (he was younger than two) came up to me. It was summer so I had shorts on and he started poking at my leg. He started crying and said “owwie!” I was distracted and said: “Oh, you have an owwie? Oh no! I’ll look at it in one moment, okay?” But he kept whining and poking my leg and saying “owwie?” I finally realized he was pointing to a nasty looking cut on my leg (I’m a clutz, I get em all the time lol). He was sad because he thought I was hurt. I can’t even begin to explain to you how I felt in that moment. I couldn’t take my hand off the boy I was changing, but I so wanted to sweep him off his feet and hug him! I did assure him I was fine and that it didn’t hurt. But that was genuine compassion from a baby who was on the cusp of understanding how the world works. And it’s beautiful.

The section "escaping from reality" really hit me in so many ways. I never thought of laughter as such this valuable thing and I never realized that I do that with my friends as much as I can. I am always going through such a rough time but whenever I am with the few that I have (present and past) I always make it my goal and priority to make sure they have the best time possible laughing and just feeling free. I recently just made a new friend and the other day we went to lunch since we were scheduled for it at the same time, and we laughed so hard we wheezed and it was just such a grate feeling. despite the worst I have been though, every single moment of pure laughter has always gotten me to a place of peace within the chaos. Everything is making sense. Thank you, truly.

Eclectic style, openly trans at the time, bullied since elementary school, all that. It’s so surreal hearing this from him, but I’m glad he’s opening up. Being bullied in school can feel so isolating and really affect people’s psyche later on. I hope he’s doing better now. And for anyone feeling this way, you’re not alone.

I've been a big fan of Brandon's content for many years, he was one of the first KZfaqrs i ever suscribed to, so I'm so glad to see him making new stuff he likes and enjoying himself! And it's so nice to have these instances were you can see his genuine self 🥰

This interview made me have a lot more respect for Brandon. His old sleep paralysis demon video really helped me see my sleep paralysis in a new light and not fear it so much. Having an imaginary almost humanized backstory for it (as silly as it is) really helped. Seeing him be so open and humble makes it even better.

I'm only about 5 minutes in but it's so crazy how INSPIRING Brandon is from a creative perspective. I'm a writer, and ideally I'd like to be a writer professionally, especially in a Hollywood setting. He makes it look EASY! and FUN! And picking his brain via interview is one of the best ways to spread the buffet of his mind on the table. To work with or alongside Brandon is a dream at this point, but he really does inspire the shit out of me that one day I'll be this kind of successful.

I’ve been watching his channel grow since I first watched his “David on Drugs” video back in 2009 at 13. I still vividly remember a lot of his old content and I even remember when the pilot of Theater Class was originally uploaded. To see how much he’s progressed not only as a creator, but also individually, is truly astounding and I’m so proud of him & his success! Hope to meet him one day. 💕

Anthony, could you do a video on people with trichotillomania and dermotillomania? (I've already commented this before but, I just really want to get this out there.) Or just BFRBs in general. There are a lot but those are the more common ones. I have suffered with both for years and it would be nice to see other people's stories on it. It would also be great for people who don't understand, or know about it. Thx!

This video makes me feel better. Friends always ask "how are you smiling talking about going through such horrible things?" I usually respond with the same things Brandon said such as "If I've gone through that and I'm still here able to smile, I can go through it again and be fine. It's ok to smile." And I know it gives them hope to get though whatever they go through.
