The funny thing is, Mumbo saw the statue and thought it was the greatest thing he had ever seen, while it was intentionally bad 😭

> buys etho's horn > builds statues and says it was etho > calls etho a god?? > claims he's not obsessed okay joel, okay

The Grian statue man... trust only the most unhinged man to create the most unhinged statue...

The fact that iskall didn’t get Joel’s INCREDIBLy obvious sarcasm makes my day

actually so invested in these murder mystery intros

The "He's the sort of person to use non-bio laundry detergent" was during Limited Life and Joel said it to Jimmy 😆 marked the start of the Bad Boys honestly

"Im gonna make skizz(6'2) tall!" Mumbo, a 6'5 giant:

The fact that Keralis, cub and scar all turned at the same time is hilarious

i love having my suspicion that you were the mystery statue maker confirmed 😌

I'm glad that the ''Detective Joel'' saga is catching on and wasn't just a one-off intro gag, Joel's storytelling potential really gets to shine with these introduction segments and it's epic!

Goat horn ideas from this episode: "Which brings us to Plan B, which just so happens to involve my bathwater" 6:01 "POV: You're a juicy barrel" 11:23

I love the idea that the resource gathering montage just slowly becomes clips of buying things from the shopping district, with the same editing

Joel's intros are always a unique experience, it's great.

"is it a duck" after iskall said "it's perry the platypus" has the same energy as that one meme of that person asking "what type of animal is the pink panther"

Bdubs fell in love with his statue immediately, and I can’t blame him. It is absolutely adorable. All of them are hilariously, cute except the grian one which is extremely cursed. 😂

" I want to make the villager breeder fun" I mean I think they're already having fun

I knew it, Etho didn't build Grian's 😆 I kinda expected it to be Joel but still had a good laugh after finding out

Joel gaslighting the other hermits with the statues is awesome

Joel is quickly becoming my favorite hermit. His editing and humor has always been great, but you can feel the extra effort that he's put in since starting hermitcraft. I feel like everyone is really upping their editing game this season. From Mumbo's title cards, Bdub's evolving cinematic aesthetic, and Scar's transitions, there's just some elevated production quality.

A whole generation of teens feel hurt that you don't know Perry the Platypus. FYI, he's from a disney TV show called Phineas and Ferb. Good show, you'd enjoy it

Etho and Joel's dynamic is just like psychological warfare at this point

Cub: These horns are pricey so hopefully not overwhelming. cut to smallish: IM GONNA BUY SO MUCH FROM THAT SHOP

“GUYS it’s just a barrel..” the pain in this man’s voice after creating this beautiful masterpiece of a building just for them to want a barrel

I can't believe I never suspected Joel- but he did such a good job making them 'bad' on purpose I never would have guessed. Truly reeling.

"etho why did you build this statue??" etho: I didn't build this statue!!! now I guess we know who did😂

So uh, there may be a raid waiting for you when you get back. Grian sent a whole bunch of people to your base as some kind of Grian-esque auction; and someone may or may not have had the Bad Omen effect when they arrived, which triggered a raid off your new villager breeder. It's probably nothing.

Joel is soo GOOD at Minecraft, he can travel to Japan, play Hermitcraft, do an EPIC intro and upload it to KZfaq with a VERY SICK editing, Joel you are very STRONG and TALL, right guys?

i thought etho was gaslight gatekeep girlbossing like usual but it turns out he actually didn’t build them LMAO props to joel for this, only a few guessed that it was actually him 👏🏼

JOOEELL NO WONDER THE STATUES WERE SO ODD 😭😭

I’ve got so good at reading joel’s tool’s names that I dont even need to pause the video anymore lol

I find it hilarious that Joel’s putting more effort into the lore/story in these hermitcraft intros than he did on empires xD

I am so loving Joel's friendship with Iskall, they are so funny 😆

"they're priced pretty high so hopefully it won't be too much" famous last words

Cleo’s about to have some competition in the armor-stand industry

I think Joel got everyone with the statues. When he revealed the truth, it was a real "Oh Snappers" moment. I genuinely thought that Etho actually made them. Good job Beans, probably the best prank this season.

At this point I'm just as invested in the intro storyline as the actual Hermitcraft series. Also that Bdubs statue was actually really cute. . .

Joel: "I'm going to make statues, but bad, so that everyone thinks Etho is dumb" Everyone: *loves them*

I absolutely CALLED it when etho said he wasnt the one who made the statues, of course joel would do this as a revenge prank. Now its just a matter of knowing which Joel it was... I'm sure the detective is on the case

Etho: builds a Joel statue for no reason whatsoever Joel: Buys "oh snappers" horn for no reason whatsoever NO REASON at all....

bro i was so confused the whole time thinking it was etho doing the statues lmaooo

At this point, I dont know when I should expect a complation of Joel's best intros xD

I love how grian went thats probably joels work As soon as he saw the statue. Not even a hesitation

JOEL you need an apartment complex in strips on the side of the hill, not everyone lives in luxury houses-perfect to keep each villager too!!

Joel is such a great addition to the Hermitcraft server. Besides the amazing builds just love the fun pranks he's been involved in so far.

ITS THE BARTENDER WITH THE POISON IN THE BAR

13:03 "Wait.. this ones gonna be Etho isn't it... I'm buying it. For no reason whatsoever" Really??? We all know you're obsessed with him

Joel is actually insane, but like in a good way

this man is so underrated, joel’s intros never fail to make me laugh or entertained HE’S MY FAVORITE COMEDIAN 😭

Why am i so invested in Joel’s intros??

Joel is doing soo good with these intro's man

Man it’s so funny that mumbo actually loved the statue

The grian statue confused the heck out of Grian lol

I hope that at the end of the season Joel stitches together all of these intros to form a movie 🤗

Etho's gonna be proud at you for using tnt for gathering materials.

its a crime there is still a "Scar no!" horn has not been mad

I like that in this season of Hermitcraft the hermits are showing up much more in each others videos…. It’s more casual, more candid. The bits aren’t forced and they’re all just kinda having a good time

Yay for Joel! Yay for Hermitcraft! Yay for Etho!

Joel's bar counter gains another victims head, the saga continues! The statues are great Joel!

knowing the other pov of the hermits seeing their statues makes this even funnier, i had no idea it actually was joel who did it hahah

14:37 we have all been going around looking for who built these statues and joel was just like "hehehe"

It was actually Stress who left you the platypus. Ive never watched any of her videos before, and I coincidentally clicked on the video where she gifted you the stature right after watching this.

this is so funny seeing these videos after watching the other hermits videos. I was so convinced it was etho

my jaw dropped when it cut to detective joel's head :O

I knew that Joel build those statues, he's the only one that would make sense for building these apart from Etho

JOEL HERMITCRAFT UPLOAD LETS GOOOOO

lol I knew Joel was doing the statues and the moment I got the notifications my suspicions were confirmed 😆

1:18 those simultaneous turns bro, so creepy lmao 😂

Joel needs to make a whole series from these cinematic intros

The fact that you rename your items for split second jokes is crazy haha love it

Okay the into has determined that it is now canon that the only inhabitants of Joel's cyberpunk base are other clones of Joel and no one can convince me otherwise.

I think Joel laughing at 14:37 should be a horn

OMG IT WAS YOU!!! YOU BUILT THE STATUES

The intros kill me every time 😭😭

I'm hearing Joel's horns for the first time and I am loving it I am laughing so hard

can't wait for him to come back from japan and find all those neck kisses in his mailbox

the eyes on the bdubs statue read as tina belcher to me, 10/10 statue joel about iskall: I have no idea what he's going to be spreading. horns, joel. horns. you have no idea what you started by introducing iskall to them, lmao.

I’m so happy there is a part 2 to the intro BUT I NEED THE NEXT PART

"Imagine pausing the video to read this, ya nerd" "Neck kisses" "Tumblr stop over analyzing my Spotify playlists" "Smooth buttery goodness"

I HAD NO IDEA IT WAS YOU BUILDING THOSE STATUES!! I thought it was just the usual Etho weirdness and didnt question it, well done Joel!

the mumbo and skizz were actually good, just goofy dat grian tho, it's horror, really fits in the area with gem's semi-horror area

Now I need a compilation of everyone finding their statues lol

I wonder if the viewership retention would skyrocket at the end if joel puts the unique intros there, or switch it up every so often on where he puts the lore clips to keep viewers guessing and mess with the most replayed segments

"IT SOUNDS LIKE I'M ON A PROPPELLER PLANE!" Most underrated line ever

22:50 Cleo watching this conversation unfold: 😡😡😡

6:53 MumboDrone left the game😂

Low-key bartender Joel is proper suspicious.

First of all, I love the iskall and Joel dynamic. Second, everybody who's not watching Joel's videos is MISSING. OUT.

I personally love Iskall's impression of Joel. 10/10

I see joel, I click

I had a feeling that some of the other statues weren't etho, but not all of them! great video!

His naming strategy for his tools is very funny - neck kisses, smooth buttery goodness, stop overanalysing my spotify playlists tumblr and imagine pausing the video ya nerd. how nice.

"I guess that brings us to plan be, which so happens to involve my bath water..." 6:00

The intro plot thickens (why am I actually invested oh god he gotten to me guys)

Honestly, I am not even on tumblr or anything, I just really enjoy reading the names of Joel's armor and tools.

WHY ARE YOU LEAVING THE BODIES IN THE BAR??? JOEL YOU'RE GONNA GET CAUGHT NO!!!

I hope iskall ( 20:42 ) line turns into a goat horn. Him trying a British accent is so fvkn funny

You need an oscar award for the best minecraft intros

I just love Joel being in denial about his extremely obvious obsession with Etho(The reddit graph does not lie!!)

i was so relieved when you said you were going to make them bad on purpose. seeing them in other videos i kept thinking "omg, they're so bad..."

I love all of joel’s and iskall’s interactions lol they both have a very similar vibe to them that makes for great conversations
