@@XavierSchwartzTheOriginal yea true 😢
The masterminds behind "Road Work Ahead, uh, yeah I sure hope it does" and "Two bros chillin' in a hot tub, 5 feet apart 'cause they're not gay" sitting in the same room. This is epic.
They're definitely within 5 feet

@@faeyarosethorne2716seriously like how did I go this long without knowing that
@@faeyarosethorne2716 every once in a while this resurfaces and a new group of people find out for the first time, it’s hilarious every time LOL
That was Anthony??? The hell
Drew really doesn’t realize how much people value him on the platform. I can’t even make a joke because his content is top tier and he should be proud of himself
Yeah in all seriousness he makes really good content
I love that his videos have great rewatch value. I always have at least 1 vintage Drew Gooden video in my recently watched playlist.
right he even has such a big following from streamers that dont really share the same audience as him, its really cool to see how so many creators are connected through him
all his videos are so rewatchable, like they never get old. I swear I've watched some of his videos so many times I can recite them line by line and still find it funny.
10/10 joke
at one point i looked at drews hand and was like "oh he has a bunch of cool rings on" only to realize it was his wedding ring and like 5 bacon bandaids
I laughed so hard thank you
I did this same thing lol
Hahahah saaaame
😂😂😂
Oh man thanks for spending a day with him I was really dreading it
it really put such a damper on my schedule
You said it! I don’t know how I’d ever fit him into my schedule.
Exactly!
This is the type of comment he would pin on his channel
thank goodness

I think Drew Gooden is one of the few KZheadrs whose video quality is actually extremely consistent. Like the worst videos he's made are still really good. It's a shame he doesn't think of his video quality as being consistent, I hope he knows that it really is!
YESS, he doesn't post as much but you know every time he does it's gonna be a good video.
I think he probably thinks that because of how different his level of effort/passion is video to video. But I agree, they’re all great!

Drew is genuinely one of my favorite creators on this platform. His videos have such a specific energy to them that I've never found on any other channels.
I agree! I watch a lot of commentary channels, and Drew's commentary is definitely more refined than that of most other creators in the genre. He deserves way more subscribers!
Agreed! His content is so unique, despite looking similar to other commentary channels on the outside.
I really feel that drew also uploads more like selective and refined content that feels more quality over quantity. This is not to shade other creators though they're also doing their own awesome things.
Yes! Him and Scott Cramer both consistently bring content that’s just enjoyable to watch and rewatch
i feel like kurtis conner is pretty similar in their humour at least! though i havent watched much drew
“so you don’t have to” is such a violation 😭
its drews bit, "i watched (bad movie) so you dont have to" anthonys just playing into it
its so drew though
@@UncleCheeseBone09still, it still feels like such a insult 😭🙏
Love the video but that title had thinking it was😂😂
Why do people not like Drew Gooden? (I never heard of him)
I know the joke is that people hate drew and want him to stop posting, like the pinned comments on his videos, but I genuinely enjoy his content very much. His delivery of jokes get me every time
We mus complimemt Drew as much as possible on Anthony's channel, since we arent allowed on Drew's
How tf did that joke start? Drew’s our sweet little prince
Well you really shouldn't, get better taste
@@fishbooot2044 drew started it lmao. They're all very obvious tongue in cheek "insults" and that's his entire sense of humor
I 100% agree!!

"I don't think I'm that consistent in quality". I highly disagree. I am subscribed to many youtubers who I only watch around 50% of their content because of their inconsistency in quality. Drew is one youtuber I never miss an upload for. Every video feels well made, entertaining, well formatted, and feels like he's tried his best every time.
100%! Thank you for saying this- I was looking for a comment that brought this up. His videos are ones I both consistently watch and rewatch.
"That confidence was the most valuable thing I got from Vine" : Amanda: "Oh?"
💀
AHAHAHAHA I forgot they met on vine XD
I watch all three; danny, drew, kurtis. And man Drew is just so calming when you're dead tired at 2 AM but still wanna watch youtube. He stays funny and charismatic in a self deprecating way, and just watching him gives me a sense of peace and calm (and laughs).
All three? They're just one guy.
@nb_bucky_my_beloved You've got three wolves in you, and they're all white men in the commentary genre of KZhead

At this point, don't know if he will. It's been 6 years, no way he doesn't know.
@@IcyCubey probably, but i really hope he doesn't know already
@@alexlolbye1354 You and me both. I'm a Smosh Royalty member. It really would suck if Anthony chose to ignore the problems because I don't want to support anyone like that.
I don't think he fucking cares which makes me think he doesn't give a fuck in general and the empathy is staged
HE KNOWS. The word "Be++erhelp" (I can't type it normally for obvious reasons) is blocked. However, "Betterhelps" is not blocked. That's why your comment went through. I know this because if you comment the company name normally and look for the comment, it will not appear. However, if you comment "Betterhelps" it will. You can try it for yourself to see. EXTREMELY disappointed right now Anthony. This is fucked.
Drew is the most naturally funny and charismatic of all the youtube comedians / commentators. And his sense of humour resonates with British/Irish audiences more than other American youtubers imho
brit confirmed
Second Brit confirmed
canadian but i agree
im american but hes def my fav lmao 😭😭
Ew get outta here freak
Is this the famous creator of the picture of a hotdog website? Legend. He's pretty funny, he should do comedy.
I’m so happy there’s always someone who remembers about this legendary website
when Anthony mentioned hot dot and the candy cane hot dog was in XD
You have no idea how many times I've seen "I think I found the weirdest Christmas movie", that video always makes me laugh so much. Drew has that balance between sarcasm, appreciation for things that makes no sense and goofyness, that it is really unique and interesting. His delivery is also amazing!
You summed up everything I like about his content.
Misketti! Uncle Matt, misketti means you haven't made it in a long time, aaand I miss it! Get it, missketti?
He should do the Christmas tree it’s soo bad!
That is my comfort video it’s so good
My comfort video W ass comment
Drew could make a 2 hour long video ranking different washing machines and I’d still watch it and enjoy it
Same 😂❤
petition for washing machine rating with drew
drew, danny and kurtis all have the coolest hair for some reason (also drews blue hair looked good nobody can convince me otherwise)
RIGHT AND IM TIRED OF SAYING IT DIDNT LOOK GOOD.
Drew's hair is like an adult and cooler version of that "I love turtles" kid
SAME IT LOOKED COOL!!! especially when it was light blue/faded, looked very cool :D
Thank god I had a date planned with him this weekend so glad Anthony took that burden off my chest 😅
Right, bc Amanda's off fighting in Afghanistan
@@Xphaedos amanda has requested we stop making that joke :-)

literally two of the most iconic vines in a room
Two iconic vines, sitting roooom, 5 feet apart cuz theyre not gay
drew is genuinely one of the most comedic and specific creators that I've ever watched. his comedy genuinely can't be mimicked which makes him so memorable and funny
two guys that made two of the most quoted vines
Two bros chilling in a hot tub? Uh yeah, I sure hope they do
UNDERRATED
I’m glad the Star Wars video is one of Drew’s favorites as of recently, because I loved the format of that video and it genuinely got me into a new series that I’ve been heavily enjoying
yeah, that video was the reason i watched andor and its now one of my favourite shows, and its also been added to my list of "perfect" media, alongside arcane, the magnus archives, spiderverse, community (except season 4), twisted by starkid... and a lot of other stuff.
Same! I loved Andor and I never would have watched it if he didn't make that video
26:24 drew has really done a great job of making me interested in stuff i didn’t even consider before. Ive watched his star wars videos multiple times even tho i was never very into the franchise because his editing and writing are so entertaining
This is so true! I’m glued to the screen about topics i’ve never heard of.
My child was born this morning and this video still managed to make it the worst day of my life
Then why are u watching? Go touch grass
@holdmacat9932 Someone's sarcasm meter is broken.
Sheesh @@holdmacat9932
I can’t believe you gave birth to Drew Gooden
Why did you give birth to him/her? You heard them, don't give your kid that burden! 😂
When I met Drew, I missed his meet and greet bc im stupid lmao him and danny came out and talked anyway and were SO nice. i didnt wanna bother them so I told drew how much i appreciated his video essays and basically went about our ways. he was so fucking nice.
I know the whole being mean to drew gooden is the thing in his comment section but he truly is my favorite content creator
even when hes not on his channel he still manages to mention the moonpod incident
weird compliment but: drew is one of the most reasonable youtubers i know? like he seems very normal and has such good opinions about the things he talks about. i totally agree with the "why do we have to constantly grow our audience" thing - it seems like a lot of creators just get caught up in trying to up their numbers, which usually leads to lower quality videos or things that feel rushed or unnatural for them. if you're able to consistently make a living from it, why can't that be enough? same with how he talks about being responsible with your time and putting in the effort even when you're not feeling creative. just all around drew seems to have formed a quite healthy view of life. also!!! don't get a team though please! the fact that you do everything yourself makes it feel a lot more authentic, and although i dont particularly enjoy the "i ordered stupid things so you don't have to" that much, the best parts of those videos are kind of when you go through the weird, misleading and strange ads and your process of choosing what to buy.
noooo Drew please dont get a team to film your videos, the fact u do it urself and show HOW u do it is so much better and personal!!!! Worth waiting!!!
the missed opportunity of "one was for money, one was for funny" when talking about vine as a job and the news job... hahaha
vine was just very pleasureable for drew so
Exactly what I thought
drew is my comfort creator. his very specific brand of humour is so genuinely unique and i've never found another creator who is so unreasonably funny in such a weird way. i realized recently that i've been watching his stuff for 8 years and have never not watched his content. i just immediately was like 'this is the guy' and i have never wavered in loving all of his content. i have many creators i like who i go through phases with, but he is always consistently my favourite. his content brings me so much joy and i think he's an absolute gem on this platform
"so you don't have to" cryingggggg
tbh even if a drew video is more low effort compared to others, i still thoroughly enjoy it. i can’t remember the last time i watched one of drew’s videos and didn’t have a good time.
Drew is such a talented comedian. His content has such a wide range (from serious media analysis to "I had a dumb idea, let's see what happens") and he knocks the whole spectrum out of the park. And he is the ONLY KZheadr whose ad reads I will sit through, because somehow he always makes them mad entertaining.
the latter part of the video being so earnest and genuine and anthony is wearing lobster sandals the whole time 💀
How come drew is lookin kinda buff, man’s been working hard in silence it seems
He has gotten workout equipment from instagram/facebook ads
Already preparing for when Tom Brady decides to retire again
love how anthony always matches his guests’ energy
Honestly, even with 4 million subscribers, drew is so underrated. Everytime he uploads it makes my day srsly. I recently rewatched all his video's and they are all so funny and good 😅 even his sponserships i look forward to
I live for when Drew uploads! Sometimes on KZhead I'm hunting specific topics, subscribing to different channels still, but I pick and choose what topic's to watch from their homepage. With Drew half the time I don't even read the title when I see he's uploaded, because it doesn't matter. I know in only moments I'll be cackling for the whole video no matter what. Seriously his shit really makes my day and lightens me up.
drew really can make a video about something i don't know anything about or something i maybe dislike and still get me to sit down and absolutely enjoy a video about that, just because he's passionate about that. really really a rare guy on yt and love his content to this day
Drew is one of the only youtubers whose videos I can watch over and over again without getting tired of them.
I think Drew's Vine-era humor shines through his youtube videos, i'm thinking of the Christmas Mail video he did where he's playing the daughter at the stove "can i touch this?" that sort of thing is so Viney
I honestly feel like every video Drew puts out is so wonderful. Even his "lower effort" stuff feels so fresh. I get excited every time he posts because I know without a shadow of a doubt that I'll enjoy this video just as much as his other ones. I think the fact that he only does one a month really adds to that-- it never truly feels like he's just throwing whatever at the wall just to have a piece of content. Whatever he does, it's always a bit unique in some way and it feels like real effort went into it. I'm glad he continues to stay true to what he really enjoys and that he lets himself have time off. Very special Guy for sure
Just to get the record straight. Drew is 100% a contemparary KZhead legend. Some of the best content on this website by far.
Drew is usually look at as a funny guy who buys stupid products, but his videos about movie analysis are so fucking good and he puts so much work on them, you get to see that behind the funny jokes he's very smart and has a lot of ideas. The Star Wars video alone almost made me cry when he talked about why we create stuff, so yeah, love the dude. ❤
Weird observation but Anthony is wearing black shoes white socks and drew is wearing black socks white shoes and I think that’s fun
I've followed Drew for years and I've never missed an upload. I also constantly rewatch his videos. There's something about him that is so calming, even if he's ranting about something. I could watch him talk about paint drying and be entertained.
Love drew, he is genuinely a nice person
my all time fav videos of drews is when he talks passionately about something, my fav video is the one lost. I had never seen it and after his video I started watching and became obsessed with it, then rewatched his video on it and felt so connected to what he was saying. i love drew
The fact that Drew made one of if not *the* most recognizable vine. Road Work is Easily top 5 most popular vines and definitely what most people answer as one of 3 vines or so when asked to quote one. “Road work” was so simple yet so captivating lmao
drew will never stop bringing up the moonpod 😭
thank the gods that anthony was able to speak to him so we wouldn’t have to
this is literally just a repackaged version of the title
@@ouchtor 🤷
@@sofisntsmart 😔
“Tried it so you don’t have to” is such a fun genre of content and is how I found Drew. I wasn’t a vine watcher but of course I knew roadwork ahead
oh thank god, i don’t have to do it now.
I honetly cant think of a single drew video that I didn't wholeheartedly enjoy. Like I have no interest in starwars, never have, but I watched his video on it start to finish, and really enjoyed it! I didn't need to understand the full context of it for it to still be a really enjoyable video to watch
I genuinely love Drew’s channel because most of his videos are just ‘adhd infodump that I’m pretending is a real video’
I remember Drew from Vine days, I think the first Vine of his I saw was the colonial drugs one. I was happy when I saw he'd moved over to KZhead when Vine went defunct. His sense of humor is so specific and I can rewatch his videos without getting bored. I even watch them sometimes to fall asleep bc it's comforting and I know it lol. The podcast he did with Jarvis Johnson where he discussed his health anxiety made me cry because I've dealt with health anxiety for nearly the past 10 years and it can be debilitating and embarrassing to talk about. I know this is all over the place but I appreciate Drew's humor and honesty and I hope he's made peace with the Moonpod.
the fact that Anthony is STILL taking money from BH after almost a decade of scandals is insane to me. They do more harm than good.
I love the emphasis on Drew's own appreciation of his artistry as a writer and comedian, his confidence is really great to see. Because he is incredibly skilled as a writer! Really cool to get recognition for that.
I was so ready for Anthony to prank us and just interview Danny instead
I think that joke has been laid to rest, tbh.
This is gonna be so fun to watch on my 8 hour bus trip! Ty Anthony and drew for talking specifically for my enjoyment
Damn that's like 1/16'th of the time you got! You are pretty much covered huh?
Mans is gonna watch it 16 times on repeat
it's been 8 hours. did you reach your destination?
@@princelotor5248 yes! Thank you :)
@@_sch_eme_ hahaha yep I had heaps of stuff downloaded but I like the implication I was just gonna watch it 16 times (I didn't even end up watching it because I was just watching other things)
i love every video of Drew's, but i especially love his recent ones. i have zero interest in star wars but ive watched that video several times. i also especially love his commentary on being so online, i love that a content creator is talking about it. i will always be a fan, drew ❤
I love drew with my whole heart. It is a treat when he uploads.
Never seen star wars in my life. That man made me go watch Andor full
of course drew finds a way to bring up the moonpod
Man, I was so worried that I would have to spend a day with Drew. Thanks for saving me
Drew is genuinely one of my favorite youtubers ever. I am always looking forward to whatever he makes a video about next and some of my favorites are his opinion-based videos like the recent star wars video. I watch his videos almost every day and I hope he knows how much his content is enjoyed!!!!!!!!!
i love drew so much, i feel like his taste in comedy is so good and clever and i love the little niche moments in his videos where you remember something from 2-3 videos ago but its so subtle at the same time; i genuinely think its genius
i remember organically coming across Drew's channel when he posted his first video and i had no idea he did vine
i am slowly getting used to watching drew on other people's channels only. But jokes aside i love that man and his work so much that even if he posted after 20 years i'd still watch the video within the first 30 minutes. I hope he knows how much his work means to us and how much we admire it.
im a big Drew Gooden youtube fan! i really enjoyed this interview :) his content is one of the few that i can rewatch multiple times and still find it enjoyable
Thanks for taking one for the team anthony
FINALLY IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THRIS EPISODE. I’ve been just as excited for this as I was for the Shayne topp episode
Drew is amazing, i watch his videos a LoT and they are the rigth amount of funny, calm and angry. His essays are really calming too
Drew is top 5. His content is next level and he always brings something new and funny. I wish he would post more but when he does it is always great content
i found drew by the danny gonzalez pipe line and i loved another bad movie reviewer and as i went to watch some of his older videos he had promoted “road work ahead” stickers and i was like “wow this guy really loves that vine” and then it hit me that this was the same guy. it really validated me to know that i was on the right side of the internet full circle moment
Drew is one of my favorites on this platform because he is really engaging and entertaining. He could be in an hour long video dissecting sitcoms or trying on some instagram scam either way I am seated.
YES Anthony Padilla AND Drew Gooden in one video??? I'm so here for this.
i love how the other interviews are like "I spent a day with a LEGEND" stuff like that and for drew its just "so you dont have to"
Thanks for taking one for the team man 🙏 Hotdog website man is definitely a legend but we need the blue hair back
the modern legendary youtber interview was the first i watched of anthony, how time flies!
drew is so important to me
drew is one of my favorite creators ever
Drew is one of my fav people. Love his sense of humor
Drew looks hella good
The emo bonding at the end was truly beautiful
I discovered both Danny and Drew from the legendary YT video (I wasn’t on Vine) and I’ve now seen all of their videos thousands of times. They’re hidden gems for sure.
Thanks for hangout with drew he's been hitting me up every 2 days! Thank you for hanging out with him so I don't have to!
I was introduced to his KZhead channel when I was half way through my 7th grade year of school and was 13. And now a freshman in college and being 19 he is still my favorite KZheadr and am excited whenever he posts a new video.
Drew Gooden is hands down my favourite creator on this site. I've been watching him for years.
i have been on a drew binge lately so I've been hearing sum of this thru the videos but like having a full interview is so fun and i love this thank you for talking to us
Drew is genuinely my favorite youtuber and one of my favorite comedians, I get happy every time he uploads lmao hope he never stops 🥺🤍
I love that he kept the lobster sandals on.
drew should do a whole video where he confusedly tries to redub his vines
been watching drew gooden on youtube for years, never knew he was the "road work ahead" guy, i quote that weekly, thank you drew gooden.
Been looking forward to see this . Thanks for creating the video to sped a day with him .
