Ash and Mathew should start a podcast just called "The Witty Banter" with all their wacky stories they've told on here

Matpat saying he's intrigued by unconventional methods of self advertisement absolutely sounds like a trait from a horror story victim

Ash yelling, *"Dinosaurs?!"* will live rent-free in my head.

The fungus didn’t come from dinosaurs but rather from the asteroid that killed them. Both originate from the Yucatán peninsula in Mexico. Basically venom from Spider-Man as an angry fungus

"Water. Earth. Air. Some fourth thing. The avatar kept balance between the four nations, until one day, the very burnable smiley men attacked. If only we had some way of burning them."

In case no one else has mentioned, "abaliomundo risus" translates to "the world's laughter."

I like to believe matpat is a multidimensional eldritch being of incomprehensible power and after living for eons in a multitude of universes he just decided that this was the most fun thing he could do.

somehow not surprised at matt calling a number he found in a bathroom stall

Here is my take on what instruments the presidents would play, (purely based on vibes, nothing to do with political views) George Washington - Brass trumpet (Commander-in-Chief vibes) John Adams - Harpsichord (Classical and refined) Thomas Jefferson - Violin (Versatile and creative) James Madison - Flute (Delicate and diplomatic) James Monroe - Cello (Stately and dignified) John Quincy Adams - Piano (Intellectual and precise) Andrew Jackson - Banjo (Roots and ruggedness) Martin Van Buren - Accordion (Unconventional and adaptable) William Henry Harrison - Bass drum (Military and authoritative) John Tyler - Guitar (Smooth and versatile) James K. Polk - Harmonica (Down-to-earth and straightforward) Zachary Taylor - Fife (Military and traditional) Millard Fillmore - Organ (Stately and solemn) Franklin Pierce - Saxophone (Smooth and charming) James Buchanan - Clarinet (Reserved and refined) Abraham Lincoln - Fiddle (Humble and folksy) Andrew Johnson - Trombone (Steady and dependable) Ulysses S. Grant - Drum set (Commanding and rhythmic) Rutherford B. Hayes - French horn (Stately and elegant) James A. Garfield - Bagpipes (Strong and dignified) Chester A. Arthur - Trumpet (Confident and bold) Grover Cleveland - Tuba (Steady and solid) Benjamin Harrison - Sousaphone (Energetic and powerful) Grover Cleveland (2nd term) - Oboe (Refined and nuanced) William McKinley - Piccolo (Bright and optimistic) Theodore Roosevelt - Bull Moose Horn (Wild and adventurous) William Howard Taft - Double bass (Sturdy and grounded) Woodrow Wilson - French horn (Melodic and thoughtful) Warren G. Harding - Jazz trumpet (Smooth and charismatic) Calvin Coolidge - Theremin (Mysterious and unconventional) Herbert Hoover - Xylophone (Structured and precise) Franklin D. Roosevelt - Piano (Charismatic and versatile) Harry S. Truman - Snare drum (Steady and determined) Dwight D. Eisenhower - Electric guitar (Confident and modern) John F. Kennedy - Saxophone (Smooth and charismatic) Lyndon B. Johnson - Harmonica (Down-to-earth and folksy) Richard Nixon - Piano (Reserved and introspective) Gerald Ford - Bass guitar (Steady and reliable) Jimmy Carter - Dulcimer (Gentle and earnest) Ronald Reagan - Cowboy guitar (Charismatic and nostalgic) George H. W. Bush - Ukulele (Cheerful and optimistic) Bill Clinton - Saxophone (Smooth and charming) George W. Bush - Drums (Energetic and decisive) Barack Obama - Electric bass (Cool and composed) Donald Trump - Trumpet (Bold and brassy, also trump get it haha) Joe Biden - Harmonica (idk)

Smile tapes was discontinued due to author feeling burned out. He now makes music

*“DINOSAURS!!! 🤯🤣”* I love how Ash can deliver a single word so well Absofruitly perfect

17:19 I can totally see president Lincoln back in the day playing the clarinet. Whether it was invented yet or not. 😂

Mat definitely needs to react to Greylock. Im surprised he hasnt yet, as far as I know. It's an absolute masterclass of analog horror, and equally as good at building a proper story and not simply being based off of horror alone. Edit: Boys, we did it.

are people not going to acknowledge ash’s “dino-sorely” 38:17

22:55 Mat looking at an obvious window: "What is that?"

Watching Matpat and Ash lose it once Matpat's joke of it involving dinosaurs is an absolute treasure and golden. As if it couldn't get any more strange.

"Tell me your cheesin, fam" Chapter is wild

"Babe a new GTLive just dropped! I'm going to the gas station for some spore puffers"

I am surprised that MatPat doesn't know about the "Have you seen this man in your dream's" face

38:10 Ash replying “dinosorely” to matpat saying “sorely disappointed” is underated

The thing that the face appears in is probably a window, it feels like someone was recording the window because of the riots and violence outside, they were probably a story or two up, also probably why it ends, the recorder got killed.

"Grandpa pat and Zaddy Pascal match made in heaven" matpat 2024

I feel like Teddy Roosevelt would have played a guitar, but only camp songs.

"My voice sounds a little tired" Meanwhile, his voice sounds more energetic than mine does at the best of times

*literaly a window* mathew: what is this?

34:08 For a second I thought MatPat was gonna announce that he was running for 2024.

At around 29:30 there is a set of hidden numbers and letters, that when put through Hex decimal read "A Soulless Monster"- just thought that was fun.

I think the ending was so upbeat and literally “oh the problem? Gone”. Was because I think the creator of this got tired of making depressing stuff about it. Don’t know if that’s true as I’ve just heard it from a comment on another video of this series. But if so. Makes sense

Mat should definitely react to The Children Under the House. It’s probably one of my favorite analog horror series.

If Kyle Smith Jams doesn't invite Ash to his concert for free for this extremely influential free promo, I lose faith in the world

15:13 "we are entering a scary time, man" while Garten of Banban 7 trailer is sitting right there

I love that the intro is Ash discovering ska

the chapters for these videos 😭✋ “say cheese” “tell me you’re cheesin’ fam”

Video 102 of asking Mat to play “The Unfinished Swan”. It gives more story to one of the characters in “What Remains of Edith Finch”.

god I just realized we are almost mid may and I am so not ready for matpat to leave gtlive

Thumbnail: I’m in pain. Me: We’re all in pain, literally and figuratively.

Came for the smile tapes, stayed for kylesmithjams

matpat. at 23:04 it's actually a WINDOW and an infected old lady that looks at someone taking pictures from within their home. you can assume the worst after that....

This thumbnail speaks to me in an emotional level

I love the witty banter of this episode. Talking about how incredible the Theorist Team is and learning about them.

41:40 he should have watched the food theory video on surviving the apocalypse by growing mushrooms, just think he could have survived a fungal apocalypse by eating a different fungus.

Whoever titled the section “tell me you’re cheesin’, fam”-I tip my hat to you

I think the man is probably the spores' twisted version of a human. Maybe the first human it infected thought of a man that looked similar to the man, and the spores retained that information, but it got slightly less clear as generations of the spores went by. The face eventually got so corrupted that it looked like the one in the tapes.

"tell me your cheesin', fam" nice title card 😂

Did some digging, that morse code you hear after you get a monologue from the happy man at 50:55, I did some editing in audacity to make it louder and then exported it into a morse decoder, and i got : DEPLOY DEPLOY DEPLOY bout to drop some data: Dit count: 21m Min ms: 21.3 max ms: 40 average ms: 31.7 standard deviation ms: 5.1 -------------------------- Dah count: 30 Min ms: 90.7 Max ms: 821.3 average ms: 128.3 Standard deviation ms: 128.8 ----------------------------- Dit space count: 39 Min ms: 29.3 Max ms: 58.7 average ms: 42 Standard deviation ms: 5.4 --------------------------- Dah space count: 16 Min ms: 29.3 Max ms: 170.7 average ms: 119.3 Standard deviation: 14.3 ------------------------ Space count: 1 Min ms: 210.7 Max ms: 210.7 average ms: 210.7 Standard deviation: 0 --------------------- No one is going to see this so I don't know why I bother commenting if no one sees it

Seeing "x seconds ago" feels kinda surreal

Eisenhower- tuba Roosevelt- cello John adams- flute Obama- clarinet Washington- oboe? Trumpet? Truman- trumpet Jefferson- percussion (From upright bassist

patiently waiting for matt to play the new garten of banban.

The fungus strikes again! 😂 And also Ash screaming Dinosaurs made my day 😆

Even though Mat is often late to the trends, he somehow always makes it worth it to rewatch

A fungus is a microbe btw. All of the terms used thus far to describe the fungus in the smile tapes so far in these reactions have been correct. I hope matt and ash see this so they don't keep accidentally misrepresenting what a fungus is or is not.

Also if you watch the compilation video of all smile Tapes videos in between vol 2 and 3 there is a video that was previously on Patorikkus channel called 'hike' which connects to 'mule'.

to quote one of my fav lines from the Grumps: "bulletproof, or rocketproof? oh, bulletproof." 😂

Okay not sure if you are working on a new theory already but if you're not I have an idea. A youtube short film I have loved at keep rewatching it, it's called I am a pebble. The short film is about a river otter named bubble. Bubble befriends three rock and acts like there alive. Soon into the short film Bubble sees more and more how her rock "family" is not alive. I have a slight feeling that how they put the senses of one of the "otters(the smallest rock) is sinking into the river but Bubble sees it as an otter not know how to swim or drowning the tiny otter/rock gives a little wave to Bubble before we go back to seeing the small rock. So that leaves me with the question.... What happened to Bubble family or group. I personally think that seeing that part of the film makes me think that something happened that otter due to drowning most likely and Bubble most likely saw it but couldn't save them because she was young herself. I love otters and I have been researching about them for years now and I know that otters normally wouldn't be alone like Bubble is in the short film. So I'm thinking a few things right now.... Is Bubble dead? Did something tragic happen to Bubble's pod? Did the baby otter really drown? Was that Bubble? Or did Bubble do something to the pod? OR did Bubble drown that otter and regrets it but the pod couldn't forgive her for killing her own kind. Please try and make a theory about this, I have been posting on almost every recent film theory I could find but never got even an answer. Yeah this is for Film Theory. BTW I love every video you guys make nver fail to keep surprising us. PS. Matpat I miss you being the host but I hope you're doing well.

25:34 Wingdings of some sort…. I CANT BELIEVE U MISSED THAT MAT PAT

39:18 fun fact, that name is a combination of three Latin words, meaning something like “Abolish the world with laughter” (side note, google translate told me it means “abolish the worlds laughter”, but google translate being itself and me taking Latin classes I don’t really trust the software here lol)

iirc i think neither The Smiles Tapes nor the other series will get continued at all since the creator of both moved on to other things they felt more passionate about, so both series stayed in one season leaving a lot of things unanswered

Polk played an accordion. Polk-a.

Cursed Mini Fridge could be a band name

Little tip, there is actually a jurassic-park-themed analog horror series that you could watch if you havent done so before. I cant remember its name right now but it was a great watch and very entertaining so i cant do anything but praise and recommend it and thank you for this entertaining video.

Imagine just driving down the road and next thing you know you're getting shouted out on GTLive 😂

I saw something fun on TikTok! It's a horror analog series about Where's Waldo, it's super cool and I honestly think Mat and Ash would enjoy playing the game in the videos and breaking down the (startlingly complex) lore

I cannot explain the amount of rage I felt while mat and ash are trying to figure out what they are looking at here 23:21 and I just have to watch while I'm like "ITS A F***ING WINDOW"

Not that Ash is my favorite but Ash is my favorite. Lmao the witty banter does make my days. 😂😂😂

Added to the MatPat Database: Will call a phone number written on the wall of a bathroom stall

Garten of banban 7 is out and you're not the first to play it? smh breaking a tradition

"Remember when we hit ten thousand subscribers?" -matpat trying not to mention his three million subscribers

The way I see the last part is that he bought drugs but what actually arrived was the spores that started sort of like a second apocalypse

at 29:33 theer is a cypher, 61 20 73 6F 75 6C 6C 65 73 78 20 6D 6F 6E 73 74 65 72 it reads in hex: a soulless monster just tought it's interesting and also because matpat didn't notice

Matpat ur so awesome and I’ve watched u since I was abt 9 and you’ve combined my love of knowledge and problem solving with my love of games and media. So happy you finally are getting the break you deserve!! Wishing you and your family well, God Bless!

Came for the witty banter, found myself discovering an artist with Mat 😂 Truly, thank you for everything you bring to GTLive, Ash 🥹🫶🏻

I REALLY want Matpat to cover Greylock. It's another analog horror series that I think is SUPER well doneand it terrifys me even more than the smile tapes. Wendigoon covered it a while ago and I think Lee would really like to cover it on Film Theory because it's main focus is about thoughtforms, just like in Guby, but delves SO MUCH deeper.

Always a great way to end my day 😊 did not have a good day today but i look forward to the silly banter and i guess thats enough for me :')

Lincoln would play the saxophone don't ask me why but my brain said Lincoln = Saxophone

⚠️Hello everyone!⚠️ Your friendly neighborhood Bait Police officer here to remind you not to reply to computers under comments! Replying to them makes KZfaq think that they’re real people. Things to do if you see a computer reply: 1. Do NOT reply! I know it might be tempting to clap back as these computers tend to slander our favorite creators, like MatPat here, especially after he announced his retirement, but replying to them will fool the KZfaq algorithm into thinking that they’re real people. 2. Report the comment either for “Unwanted commercial content or spam”, or for “Harassment and bullying.” (Either works, but if you try both a couple of times and the comment doesn’t get removed, try reporting for Hate Speech.) 3. Block the account by going to their channel, first pressing the “Report” button to report the channel and then clicking “Hide this user from my channel” so that pesky computer account can’t reply to your comments anymore. Safe commenting, friends 🫡 -Officer Miguel O’Hara of the Bait Police 💙🕷️♥️ (I swear it’s me, just rocking a Shanks pfp rn because he’s the GOAT) PS. I’m NOT a computer and if you reply, I will get back to you as soon as I can. Ask me literally anything, even something dumb like who my favorite One Piece character is. I swear I’m not a computer! Also, I am using the word “computer” instead of the “B O T” word in my comment and subsequent replies as the comments seem to get hidden for some reason when I use the latter 🤔 Please do the same so I can see your reply. YT filtration is absolutely evil 😡! And if any of them appear under this comment, you all know what to do. They don’t exactly like me lol 😂

This is a very impressive project and I do feel the creator should be pleased with what they did. I also think it is incredibly funny that the solution, seemingly to the entire threat, was fire.

We as Theorists should support Kyle Smith

ft. Bill Clinton

yo! I've never commented on a gt live vid before but I've been watching for a while. spotted something at about 29:33 just after the red face disappears, i cant make it out so it might be nothing but i thought it was worth a mention since I haven't seen anyone else talking about it. keep up the good work matt and ash! :)

I love this series! It is such an effective analog horror thats somewhat logical… more alien-like! Love you mattypatburger!🌟

“Gamers. He does, in fact, jam” is going to make me laugh endlesslt

Wait, you guys missed some letters/numbers that flashed at 29:34, and a transparent smiling person on the screen at 39:02, and some morse code at 50:57!

“Ooooh cursed mini fridge… I could see that.” Like what!? How do these two always manage to make me laugh ( 20:53 )

I AM SO DARN HAPPY!!!!!!!!!! So glad you guys are in the works of doing a theory on one of my favorite analog horrors! Patorikku would be proud!!

Just another Mat and Ash mental health boost to start the day Also, *DINOSAURS*

Hai ash and mat. It'd be an honor if you responded with the wittiest of banter lines.

iv been watching you seance i can remember i love your content man

I love watching the analog horror videos, i really hope matpat tries to uncover the insanity the monument mythos later seasons at some point.

good to see matpat still makes content on gtlive occasionally

Ok...but why would your first instinct after discovering ancient spores in a bug be to huff it? xD And Washington strikes me as a drum or piano guy.

i love how mat and ash spent several minutes trying to identify a window

Glad to see ya still around over here Matty! gonna miss when ya when ya pop off from being a regular here on GT Live. tho loving what the current hosts have been doing, not bad so far; but Nostalgia goggles are a ball buster.

48:12 I wasn't in my right mind at the time I wasn't (great). I still am. I couldn't cope with it at the time. I couldn't help it. I could not show for work that day, but I had some (1-2 words) (1 word maybe, matpat laughing ar same time) without his father it's so much harder to do. Now I'm here. Stuck in the laboratory. (2 words, very unclear) I had to drop the speed to even get that. Maybe someone else can do better.

Day three of asking matpat to play color or die

This is much better than what I was watching. Thank goodness for GTLive!

48:35 she's saying she was distracted by grief, and "I could've not shown up for work that day, but I had a ..." i can't tell the rest lol

I love how analog horror has evolved to the point that we're dealing WITH DINOSAURS NOW lmao

I love this

Please make a whole 1-2 hour video where you guys just chat, it’s really fun. You guys have such good vibes!

Hey everyone at GT and GTLive, first of all thanks for all the great contend you made. For one of your next game theorys i would like to suggest the game "Voice of the Void". You are recording signals from planets in space and there are a lot of hidden things.
