This is the virtual equivalent of Joel doing a fan meetup

"Babe, come to bed!" "Not now, I'm busy playing a monkey in Half Life for a Vargskelethor Joel stream."

Finally, a realistic interpretation of Joel communicating with chat.

13:45 imagine being the poor black mesa scientist trying to shit and all of a sudden you hear a whole horde of chimpanzees pissing and slamming the metal door of the stall, screaming uncontrollably.

Also known as “The stream where Joel digitized a tribe of REAL monkeys and forces them to play through Half Life’s campaign with him”.

Joey guiding the monkeys is literally an undercover pikmin stream

Every field trip I went on in elementary school looked exactly like this

I love how all my favorite streamers have an animal equivalent to themselves. Jerma: Rats Vinny: Ducks Joel: Monke

The alternate timeline where Gordon was sick to work that day, so Black Mesa used monkey labor instead

35:38 is where the comedic magic happens.

Monkeys pissing everywhere and hitting everyone just for added chaos... Is this the pure essence of Joel's streams?

If you showed this to a 1400s medieval pheasant, his body would just fucking explode.

It's no wonder Black Mesa beat Aperture Science for funding when the Government saw this high level of genius that was running the place!

i tuned into this stream like 30 minutes in and i immediately felt like i was having a migraine, an aneurysm and chronic diarrhea all at once. 10/10

Props to (1)Monkey for truly staying in character 38:19

The fact that the server is constantly at 300 ping adds to the chaos

13:31 Ah the perfect representation of Joel's fanbase.

Monkey Mondays once again proving itself as the best stream segment. God-Tier Stream.

this was a freaking hilarious stream

8:56 What Joel said: "There's no need to piss on Barney! PLEASE!" What Monke heard: "PISS ON BARNEY! PLEASE!"

My favorite part about this stream is the fact it's the funniest Half Life playthrough I've watched so far. It's the idea of some scientist sitting there, and all of a sudden 10 monkeys come down the hallway screaming.

An absolute crack of a stream. I'll be hearing those monkey screams in my sleep.

And after THIS resonance cascade the combine gained access to Earth, invaded it, saw a bunch of pissing monkeys, immediately left and resoled to never visit this dimension ever again. Good ending.

12:08 the firing squad style execution on Kermit was so cathartic I could barely breathe holy shiiiit

13:53 is pure gold. Joel's pissed off reaction to Laidlaw's pissed on locker is amazing

Pure unhinged chaos and i love it.

Something about hearing a dozen monkeys screaming at once followed by total silence and the flatline noise made me laugh my a hyena for a solid 13 seconds

this stream needs its own highlight video its amazing

The peak of video game writing, truly the Citizen Kane of video games

fun fact growing up primates were my biggest hyperfixation. I had monkey everything; cups, plates, clothes, everything. in fact when I was 4 I got this little build a bear monkey sewing kit and I named him Mr Mr Super Super Cool Cool Monkey Monkey Man Man (because my sibling helped come up with his name and 4 year old autism brained me thought "since 2 of us worked on his name I should double it"). I still have him, 15 years later. he is right next to me right now. everyone say hi to Mr Mr Super Super Cool Cool Monkey Monkey Man Man

One of the scientists to another: "You know, when Barney said a dozen chimps could do Gorden's job better than he can I wasn't expecting anyone to actually test that!"

This is like... G-Man Squad levels of insanity. Amazing.

HERE IT COMES!

(1)Monkey really committed to the bit. Good on them!

genuinely one of the funniest streams i have ever watched. i had tears in my eyes from laughing so hard

19:11 Real footage of the 'Black Mesa' experiment go wrong.

I can't believe I watched the entire thing

I dont think there has been a stream that left me in physical pain from laughing for so long in a while.

The timeline when Resonance Cascade also happened on the same day the bulk order of monke got delivered

Wow, this man is five years old. The facility is going through meltdown, his coworkers are dying, monke peessing and shidding and screming everywhere, and Joel is busy giggling! ...I wouldn't have it any other way! Another quality stream!

we absolutely need a half life 2 sequel to this or fuck it make it a full on segment where they play all the source games

The stream was madness ever since the beggining, I'm glad Joel did this

35:43 I actually burst out laughing

There's nothing better than Morbius Monday on a Thursday.

7:40 plenty of material to do a UA test that's for sure

50:00 the yellow snow brewing chamber

Its only 10 minutes in and im actually crying, this is the funniest stream I've seen in a long long time. Edit: I like to believe this is actually how the Black Mesa incident happened, and they just sent a bunch of test monkeys in to do it instead of Gordon, and this was the outcome.

From the title i expected another game where you play through a monkey's life, but instead i got half life with monkeys. Expectations exceeded!

man this felt like a classic yoel stream cranked up to 11, I almost died

Pure gold. Haven't lost my shit at a multiplayer Half-Life playthrough since the Gman Squad.

7:40's audio is golden.

Poor Barney he did not deserve this.

Joel's answer to Half Life but the AI is self-aware

The funny hits real hard when it suddenly explodes into screaming.

Ripperoni Joel's lungs, We need "Monkey Mesa 2"

Due to how probability works, a group of monkeys, given unlimited time, will beat Half Life

This is it, this is peak videogaming

Monkey jumpscare at 20:23

giant secured science facility just been destroyed by bunch of monkeys..

Officially this is how the black mesa indecent went down.

Oh man, this was an hour of solid laughs. Please do more Monkey Mondays!

Joel takes his kids to work day

This really is one of the streams of all time

violent monkeys in the tram at 5:47 for eating some other monkey's banans

Back in 2007, Gman Squad. In 2022, Monkey Mondays.

poor Joel couldn't handle the funy

It's like that monkeys on typewriters scenario, but instead of typewriters, it's Half-Life, and instead of creating Shakespeare, it's creating chaos.

This entire stream was an absolute shitshow from start to finish. This is the content I subscribe for. Shoutouts to the random person with the Doom 3 SWEPs pack.

This is peak Vsauce Joey and should be the first video shown to introduce others to the magic.

Joel finely uses his powers for good

stream start Joel: monkey! chat: *Golden Shower*

8:58 the truth come out

Joel. This upload scared me a little and thought that today was Monday and I was late for work... It's Friday... I don't work Fridays...

Joel experiencing the recieving end of AGGA: The Movie: The Stream.

It shouldn't be That funny, but every time jobel stopped on a dancing monke with full zoom, i cant help but giggle like a dumdum.

Should have a sub-category called Monkey Multiplayer Mondays. Because these always end up being too funny.

Ill literally never get tired of the intro, sometimes when these pop up i click it just for that lmfao

Ooh ooh ah ah

MIT (Monkey Institute of Technology)

This is now my favorite Joel stream of all time.

Best stream i was able to catch and the derailment within minutes was glorious.

I've never laughed so hard in my fuckin life

Now we wait for "Joel - Monkey Mondays: Monke-Life 2 the Squekuel"

this might actually be one of joels best streams overall, right up there with his xp destruction

i want to see joel invite chat into a server on gmod and try direct a movie using them

this is hands down the hardest ive laughed in years. god bless you joel and the many monkeys you have in your community.

this is fucking insane

I need more of this

This is exactly how I imagined scientists work. Thanks for your informational video, Joelly Holley.

*Pure Monke Chaos!*

I wanna see this be a full playthrough, this shit had me in absolute tears.

This had me dying! This was amazing

Best stream I've ever seen

Stream was so great but I missed some parts... I'm gonna watch it again.

35:43

this stream was like a renaissance painting. there's so many layers to what's going on at any moment, and you'll probably notice something different every time you watch it

HERE IT COMES

We need a part 2 of this

Watching this... reminds me that I am still a manchild and will laugh at the dumbest stuff 23 years later

I love how the monkeys showed mercy to the first headcrab when they slaughtered and ripped everyone's nuts off up to that moment
