Act 4, the FINALE, has yet to be streamed, but should be before the end of the year! You won't wanna miss it. More work is going into it than you'd expect, haha. see you soon...

I love Bauulp saying the gnome is all precorded messages while it personally threatens him

I absolutely love the running gag of Wayne being incapable of playing a video game without being harassed by some sort of paranormal rogue element.

I know the TTS voice is technically “bad,” like you can easily tell it’s a TTS voice, but the delivery is so fucking funny, the way it gasps and shouts and sounds happy but completely confused and stutters between words “WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE *deep breath* COLOR.?” I just imagine it saying everything with a tiny happy smile and huge wide wall eyed eyes

I love that the gnome thinks he's in the HLVRAI universe the whole time. The callback. XD

i love how you can tell that 1: multiple people are controlling the gnome, 2: they cannot agree on what the gnome should be like, 3: one of them is having the time of their life

When the Gnome said "let's roll an ad" an ad rolled....my god his power grows

“Is that green stuff master chief?” This gnome is a genius

The audio editing on this series is so exceptional that I genuinely believed Wayne had somehow made the voice come from the gnome in-game, rather than editing it to sound right for the gnome's location after

I love how he said "when do we see Benry" because that implies that this Gnome not only is fully aware of the other series' existence but also know EXACTLY what the chat wants and thus makes a joke about it

What youtube viewers will never understand is Wayne’s attempt to CENSOR CHAT by hiding the Gnome‘a true name, CRAIGSLIST

I like that in the beginning that the gmone only says things like 'Hi!' or 'He ha', but gradually it creates itself a personality. The gnome is an AI that creates a personality around the player, specifically to annoy the shit out of them. The gnome knows your flaws, the gnome knows your secrets, the gnome knows *you*.

This is so accurate to having a child. “I won’t be rude to you. It’s ok, shh, shh, I love you.” And “It’s my favorite I fucking hate it”

Gnome had a panic attack holding the gun and taking a life. I can't believe wayne forced him to kill.

Love that the gnome can't make up his mind-either the challenge has been failed, or it's already complete. Putting him down makes him upset, hurts him, kills him a bit more, increases his power, and probably some other stuff I can't remember. The mod is sponsored by American Express _and_ Discover. He calls the player "Wayne" at one point, then switches to calling them "Gordon".

Holy shit I just realized Wayne answering his favorite color to be yellow is why the gnome has yellow text Ive watched every single stream and video of this more than once and never realized that until my third rewatch here.

I swear to god the moment he said "do you want to go bowling" a vein in my brain disappeared

I will always adore the running joke of Baaulp being immune to whatever insanity happens to Wayne & Friends. A stalwart man who is only affected by meal and dinner.

Return of the king

I love how the gnome constantly sounds like he’s out of breath

The theory of the gnome being the science team put into one body makes sense, if you listen to the patterns of the gnomes speech you can hear the random bullshit, helpful facts and weird noises of coomer. The rude sas of bubby, and the child-like wonder of tommy, or atleast, childishness

clearly the gnome both saying "wayne" and "gordon" implies that this is cannon to HLVR:AI and that the gnome is actually the ai reconstruction of ultima benrey recovered from the skeleton femur hidden in the gmans suitcase (a theory you can find in my 30 paragraph reddit post)

the attention to detail on muffling the gnomes voice when he's locked in stuff is absolutely incredible, masterpiece

the most consequential line göme said was "you have failed the challenge" but the most consequential line Alyx said was "lets bring your emotion meter up". one little line caused a ton of editing work for wayne in later parts lol

Can't believe it took us a whole year to finish this series, but goddamn. We've come a long way with this little bastard. He started off as a simple garden gnome who could speak very few sentences and laugh a lot, but now he's singing the whole Sonic Underground theme, Tamagotchi meters, and even an evil clone.

I can't believe they found a real swedish person.

I love how baaulp is just, there. He's not directly participating in any way other than making fun of wayne for talking to the gnome

F in the chat for Uberduck, the AI voice site that was used to give the Gnome his voice. Due to potential copyright problems (as well as the SAG-AFTRA strike), all but their original voices were removed from the site, which included the Lightning McQueen Cool Videos voice that was used as the voice for the gnome.

0:58 the fucking music cue when Wayne realizes the Gnome is alive is perfect.

I love how the true absurd character in this is Bauulp

Honestly love how the gnome starts out with voice lines that could very well just be prerecorded but as time goes on it becomes more apparent that it is in fact alive

the line "It wasn't a myth." in the description goes so unbelievably hard for a video about someone using a silly tts to make it seem like gnome chompski is talking

I love the bond they have (he starts calling the gnome "kid")

i’ve been cursed by a gnome this is the worst

"What is your favorite movie?" Should've responded with all dogs go to heaven 2

I love how the gnome LEARNED BAAULP'S NAME and he still thought it was pre-recorded

Obsessed with how Baaulp kept insisting they’re pre-recorded but the Gnome knew both his name and Wayne’s.

The fact that "lifecoins" were mentioned, and right after that he goes "I'm hungry" makes me highly suspicious that Holly was voicing him.

gotta love baaulps denial. legit forgot how funny it was for the gnome to torment wayne personally and then baaulp saying "its prerecorded, bro...."

I appreciate the amount of effort you put into the captions. I have unreasonably sharp hearing and really bad auditory processing so it can be hard to keep up even before you get these TTS voices into the mix. Subtitles at the bottom of the screen would be enough, but the way they’re integrated into the videos lets me actually follow what’s being said AND the action on screen. And it’s pretty. And holy crap the depiction of the TTS voice losing it when the gnome has the gaming breakdown

Oh God I haven't rewatched this in a while and I was brought to tears when the gnome played video games just like the first time I watched this.

This... This is beautiful!

THE MUFFLING AND ECHO APPLIED TO THE GNOME VOICE WHEN ITS IN THE LOCKER IS FUCKING INCREDIBLE AAAAA

18:06 You didn't waste that syringe you actually healed yourself

This is one of the funniest things I have ever had the fortune to witness, I’m CACKLING. The reactions, the quips, it all ties in together perfectly. New favorite streamer/youtuber right here holy shit

Just wanted to offer my appreciation for the work on the captioning. I know it’s super time consuming to color- and font-code the dialogue and have it move around appropriately, the hard work is not lost on us Wayne!

“If you kill me, I will die!” Same buddy, same

I like how the gnome talks more the video progresses like he’s warming up to him

I am once again starting this series from the beginning to try and chase the high of the finale. It is a futile effort, but one I will enjoy again and again nonetheless.

Heck yeah. Discovered you through HLVRAI like so many other people, and youve become basically the only streamer I go out of my way to watch. Shit like this is legendary and creative as all hell. I'd love to see more streamers putting on these genuine freeform performances

I adore the fact that as soon as the gnome said “let’s roll an ad!!” One literally played on the spot. This was worth the wait

"it was six inches tall and weighed a pound…" oh my god Russell knows

WHEN THE GNOME SAID ITS TIME TO ROLL AN ADD IT GAVE ME AN ADD FOR A MALE "TOOL" EXTENDER

Highlights (for me anyway): 1. Desperation in Gnome's voice 2. Gnome insisting that the MC is Gordon here lol 3. Suspense then Payoff after Gnome says "The following message is a pre recorded line: I am going to HURT Baaulp"

These streams were hilarious and I’m so excited to see the edited versions. If any of y’all haven’t seen them yet, you’re in for a treat. Wayne and the crew never disappoint

"touch you?" *Wayne then proceeds to softly smudge the gnomes face with his right hand, into a jumpcut*

"It's time for an ad! Let's roll an ad!" instantly (no joke) an ad began

"Hey, don't say that about Gordon!" only the gnöme is allowed to insult him I guess lmao.

Gnome: Says Baaulp's name multiple times Baaulp: I sleep Wayne: Talks to Gnome Baaulp: *REAL SHIT*

My favorite part about this series is the gnomes personality and the friendship between them and Wayne evolving. The fact it's all improv just makes it feel so much more organic.

21:19 “I found food but we don’t have a can opener” *The can has a pull tab*

What a good way to start Thanksgiving. It doesn’t even need to be HLVRAI related, Wayne uploading anything is bound to make my day brighter. Thank you.

6:25 i really love that it sounds like the gnome is holding back laughter here. the little faults in the uberduck voice can really lend itself to the moment at times

baaulp is a weirdo, if im playing a game and an NPC coincidentally makes a perfectly timed response to an irl conversation just _once,_ then me and the boys are gonna be laughing like "IT'S GAINED AWARENESS" lmao

Wayne to the gnome: “IT’S JUST ONE OF THOSE DAYS WHERE YOU DON’T WANNA WAKE UP”

I love how the gnomes voice sounds like air escaping a tire

"Baaulp make me happy" is what i say before watching anything with baaulp in it

This is hilarious! I found myself laughing out loud throughout the whole video!! How did I only now find this series!?! This should have WAY more views than it currently has!!!! It’s SO GOOD!!!!!

Absolute classic, still funny asf even a year later, truly an absolute rollercoaster of emotions this amazing series is, this is def gonna give me intense nostalgia rewatching this years later lmao cuz it already does a lil ngl

Baaulp's straightman-esque reactions to the gnome while Wayne breaks down to whatever the gnome says and how increasingly specific it is... comedy

“I am such a little gnome. YAY! ME!” Was that Holly who did that one . It has her vibes LMAO

I can't believe Tommy was here to join Wayne and his Gnome on their adventure! I wonder how Sunkist is doing...

6:37 i love the fact a mid roll was times here, great detail that actually made an ad funny!

The fucking bonus HUD elements are golden. Though that's everything in this vid lmao

the sound effects and captions on the gnome makes this MILES better than the vod holy shit. ive seen this all before yet im still rolling

I love that the epic music kicks in right as Wayne “realizes” the gnome is alive

rewatching the whole series again since the final edited part came out today, and i forgot most of what happened prior.

i thought this was stupid up until the 4 minute mark, where i then realised it's pure genius.

All of the parts where the gnome has a breakdown and starts sobbing/crying were so hilarious. So much better than a normal gnome run

6:35 The moment gnome said lets roll an ad, an ad came out.

oh boy what a cute gnome! I sure hope there isn't a horrible pervert gnome later in the series :)

I feel like this is just Scorpy, Gir, and Holly having the time of their lives doing this.

That thing TTS neural nets do where they just have a stroke every once in a while and spit out unintelligible garbage makes me laugh so hard I can't breathe, it's so fucking funny and I don't know why

rewatching after the amazing finale stream last night

2:00 "ropes Gorden, we can use those to traverse large pits" Dr.Coomer

Personal list of timestamps 3:50 sore-ey 14:20 “its your game!” “..what?” Gnome’s genuine confusion makes me laugh 17:16 19:27 who is baaulp 24:25 threatening to kill baaulp 24:54 25:15 Warning! Warning! 26:45 cursing chat

1:33 Everybody gangsta until the gnome you pick up in the tutorial goes *HÀHÆÉ*

With the new episodes coming out, it’s time to rewatch this series. Hell yeah.

14:48 you're lucky that he didn't say "Hello Gordon! Look Gordon! Ropes! We could use them fo- HELP ME GORDON!

7:00 Just wanna say Wayne, I appreciate the editing here to make the words move as the gnome is pulled towards you Its the little details that make it

When the gnome said let’s roll an add an add rolled and I died

Gnome: "Let's roll an ad!" *ad plays*

I only finished the gnome series like half a week ago, but I can't help but comfort watch it again at 3am. Kinda getting emotional hearing "Pick me up" not gonna lie

The quality of the captions and the fact that there's closed captions here for wayne's dialogue is *chefskiss* so good and helpful THANK YOU for your hard work and dedication to not just the visual gags and high-quality editing but also accessibility and coherence, it makes a world of difference!!! It is a shame that the closed captions are censored but I assume that is because KZfaq policy and algorithm sucks and not something directly within the control of wayneradiotv & co. Anyway, we love reliably captioned media 10/10

That "ha he" sound kills me every time

22:15 Gnome:you can use me to heal you- wayneradio:*drops gnome*

Here after the finale, whoever is starting this series, know you're in for a ride

I think the delay before it becomes obvious it's actually responding to Wayne and not just randomly or semi-randomly spitting out lines improves this a lot

Alyx finally makes it into the Vault, revealing the blue-clad figure inside ‘Hey can I see your passport? Do you have your ID’?

6:38 When he said "Let's roll an ad" I literally got an ad. Jesus christ that sent shivers down my spine.
