If you take alot of niacin your body can break down and absorb energy drinks at insane speeds. So he can drink all that red bull and coffee then he ramps his body up into a state where he can absorb it all and get super hyper and he has to keep taking them or he will crash. The second side effect is you turn red, get emotional and get itchy

so what? he had the same responsibility on his shoulders as any other CEO, if he fucks up, the company is finished, people lose their jobs and everyone blames him, and even worse he can't just take the money and move to a private island

@@mindfortress105 It's even worse than being the CEO for a Fortune 500 company. Those guys have "Golden Parachute" clauses in their contracts, so if they're fired, they get a nice 8 to 9 figure severance check to soften the blow.

You can thank china for that. I was supervisor for 3 months at a disorganised hellhole. The customer reviews on our fridges.... 6 months before most blew up. The electrician doing warranties there told me about 2 products, one type that had 100% dead thermostats right out of the container, and another kind of mini drinks fridge. Out of about 5000, there was ONE LEFT still running. That one was in the showroom, the sole survivor after 3 years. There were donuts fryers of which NOT ONE had lasted more than 6 months. These were ALL COMMERCIAL cooking equipment. All utter crap. We had an oven that was like $30,000 and one blew up within WEEKS from new. The customer was pissed and they worked hours of overtime trying to fix it.

I’ve been self employed for 10 years and I’m only recently thinking of expanding. The idea of employing people has always stalled me and I wonder what’s the point. This sketch has always felt like a prophecy to me. Your comment has really made me think seriously about what to do. Maybe I should ask Sam and Nick for confirmation. 🤝

Thats the torture, the stress of running shit. I always had busted knuckles when i was running a cement plant, from punching walls

What, you don't like living on razor-thin margins from your idiotic customers while drowning in a supply chain hell with a billing/invoicing anchor tied around your neck? Yeah, me neither. I hate it.

Same here.

Charls role in the credits? lol

I was thinking the exact same thing. I have watched this a million times and only just realized it was Charls at the end there in the nosferatu vampire getup. I love the way the CEO guy just disappears into this imaginary goth club vampire world at the end. I've literally gone to that same place in the middle of days I hated at jobs I hated years ago.

Welcome to MDE

Considering that The Man Who Would Never Be... is at 4.1, this one would easily get 4.0+ as well

The older I get the more I relate to this guy, I feel his rage.

Idk what the issue is but ruse and charls went to one side and Sam Hyde went to the other. Charls is a father now so you can’t be mad at him

hope he keeps making cool stuff

@@strangebrew1231 well erik hayden and andrew ruse were both friends with charls from childhood. Sam and nick were friends since childhood. Makes sense the groups would come together this way after the the entire scene got the rug snatched from under their feet. In fact charls originally worked as a mason for erik's company irl back when everyone in the MDE crew still had jobs and were doing skits during their freetime. Out of everyone Sam and Andrew are doing the best. Sam has grown his independent operation well into the 7 figure income brackets and employs like 10 full time people for editing and filming etc. Andrew has been climbing the hollywood ladder and directing more and more mainstream stuff for big dollars. Nick has been independently wealthy for years so his passive income to be in Sam's material isn't really needed anymore he does it because he enjoys making comedy. Erik Hayden has had a very successful construction company for many years. Started it way before ever doing anything MDE related. Charls works at this same company and makes a modest amount on the side from patron's and his small fiercely loyal social media following who pay monthly subscription fees to have access to his "charlsworld" site. I used to sub to his site but he has very very little in terms of content and usually just promises to make new stuff "next month" but never actually following thru. It seems without Sam and Nick to bounce ideas off of Charls just procrastinates and produces very disjointed nonsense that isn't funny in the same way MDE classic is. His material is the definition of schizo-posting and really only makes me laugh when he seems to be doing a character bit based on those self help guru types of crackpots online 😂 unfortunately over time it has become apparent that it isn't a bit or character and Charls really is just a manic schizo at his core.

Ive watched this sketch many times but this is the first time I’ve ever noticed that, but I thought that it was attributed to something like his life is so hectic and stressful he doesn’t even know simple things about his life like what he drives. But reading this I agree more with what you said

@@blobdobbler2929 no, i think you're closer to the meaning. it may also be that this vid represents many meaningless, painful days, indistinguishable from one another, all blended into one video.

Those cars probably have the same value on the used market now lol

or they just filmed it on different days when different cars were available. but its nice you got something else out of it from that, seriously.

it is almost certainly that they needed b roll of him pulling into the parking space after they initially filmed but no longer had access to the car (mercedes), so they got one that looked like it (buick).

yeah they really nailed it there. that outro is hypnotic, lots of comments here about leaving it in the video too.

may i ask how is running a it company? i'm a 1 semester cs student and would want to open my own business too

@@nnggghhaa3709 100% depends if you have the gift and luck on your side. Hard work is simply an automatic requirement but not a key to success. The guys who succeed and live well have a natural instict for business and, most importantly, are in the good grace of good company, i.e they have good employees/partners and rock solid relationships with investors and benificiaries. Hard work is a part of owning a business, but having the right skillset, product, and employee base turns the work from a nightmarish mountain of floundering stress into something navigatable and fulfilling. CEOs and founders aren't workaholics because they like crappy work, they're workaholics because they're good at what they do and the work they do is inherently fun for them because they succeed in it. Basically: if you start with a good product, a good plan, and know the right people, starting a business is the best journy one can undertake. If your product isn't competetive, if you lack a vision, and don't know how to choose good people, you are going to end up like Eric

too real, man. Am here for the past 12 years, seen some shit.

If they slow burned it, it could work. Showing the dichotomy between him trying to keep it together vs him failing to keep it together would be a good way to make a movie out of it - because there’s not an ounce of ‘try holding it together’ here at all
