My camera that I've used for 4 years broke this week, so I had to commission a video from my pen pal Jean-Michel. We will return to our regularly scheduled programming shortly. Thank you for your patience in the meantime.
Can he teach you how to summersault? He must compete professionally I have not seen anything like this. He must be the next bachelor!!
He's very handsome AND a snappy dresser.
𝚆𝚎 𝚜𝚝𝚒𝚕𝚕 𝚕𝚘𝚟𝚎 𝚢𝚘𝚞 𝙹𝚘𝚎𝚕.
Will it take longer for Joel to get a new camera than it did for him to come back to life?
I hope your shoulder injury heals soon. I'm assuming you got a shoulder injury. :p
boycott the bachelor if they dont accept jean-michel
Thank! - jmd
I really hope he actually sends this video in to them.
What is a bachelor
@@pleasejustletmebeanonymous6510 I'm sure they'll find it soon enough... The demand for Jean-Michel is what will force their hand. Not only that, but every women on the planet will now want to be on the show.
I refuse to believe this skit came about from any other way than Joel saying "somersault" out loud in a French accent and deciding we needed 5 minutes of that (we do)
Exactly what I thought as soon as the video started lol, something like "mmm, sommersault sounds french, how about a french guy who's really into sommersault?" 😂
Im pretty sure its partially for the sake of somersault based sex jokes
@@NixityNullt never heard about that, can you elaborate?
Disagree, i think he was just trying to get some extra DMs from a bitch
I feel Joel and co find that from previous vid (BG3 ad), lots of somersault there
Man, Joel is so good at accents. He does all of them at the same time.
It's like german and french, with a hint of japanese
Jean-Michel is so well traveled, his accent is a mix of Birdmen and Somersault
He spent almost no effort workshopping the accent lmao
Ah, yes, French Canadian with just a touch of Slovakian British.
As a French guy, it sounded more Italian to me than French, but maybe my opinion is based on the hands gestures Joel does while talking
„I grew up small boy“ sums you up very well. And I love you for it.
“I was young when I was born”
If he was putting on a Nigerian persona, it would be offensive lmao
@@DGTelevsionNetworkWould it? It would still be a video about a vaguely foreign guy with an accent being awkward
With moves like these, who else couldn't believe this guy was a bachelor??
where did you find that profile pic, it's mine.
it's his bachelors photo!
Bachelor? Maybe. Bitchelor? Never
@@trevormcgady6012 Peter Lorre in a sweater?
It's fake, all fake. Nobody that smooth is still a bachelor.
Jean-Michel Dence went on the become the world's first five-time bachelor. His fourth season broke international viewership records, and "The Dence" became a household name for over a generation.
It is dream of mine - jmd
"look, look! I am doing The Dence!" And then I somersault.
@@Joel-Haveri would like your comment but it's at the funny number. Edit: someone else ruined it, we good
@@Joel-Haveri dont know why but jmd reminds me of davide from love island uk, i love davide
Dang it, you should’ve ended with “over a few weeks”
loving the "nobody ever uses these" transitions. I am going to start using them in my audition tapes just so casting directors think "WOW. This guy must be inspired by Jean-Michel. I bet he can do a somersault."
If they actually hired you to play this character on the show then the show might be worth watching.
I actually would watch that. But only if he was the only goof character, and nobody knew it was going to happen.
It has to be played otherwise straight
@@sinisterthoughts2896Have a somersault obsessed woman in the show too, who's somersault standards are too high. Then have the other women just be normal people that eventually give up
Listening to the accent oscillate from French to German to Russian to Italian to vague Asian was an absolute treat for the ears
The commitment to really bad and painful somersaults was just perfection!
The grunts of pain are killing me
This man has just somersaulted into my heart
There's something uniquely hilarious about a couple adopting a child only to neglect them.
I'm in this comment and I don't like it.
@@BruceGinkelbro 😭
@@BruceGinkel Have you considered not neglecting your adopted children anymore?
@@bcouceI’m thinking he’s the child in that scenario lol
@@ootfan5 He's obviously the hilarity of the situation.
This is the content I come to KZhead for. Silliness. Just pure silliness. Thank you, Joel.
Reminds me of the golden era of KZhead
@@streetough same
This is totally convincing; I can imagine this guy is really a bachelor.
No way a winner like this could stay on the market. He probably had to learn to somersault just to dodge the ladies.
They are losing so much not having him on the show.
Yes! Put me on! - jmd
Finally, the Quebecois representation The Bachelor was lacking
What's Québecois about this ? Not the accent, not the clothes, and even not the name. Nice try tho.
@@TiPeteuxfound the quebecois
@@slipperyjimm39got em
@@slipperyjimm39 no. Somersault.
Definitely not from Quebec since he is actually somewhat attractive.
Joel has perfected that nervous giggle of his
Tooooobes!
@@pitshants132 Shants Piiiiiiittt!
joel's tailbone is now dust
100% support Jean-Michel to get into Bachelor. Especially after his somersault.
Which of his somersaults did you like the most?
@MrKohlenstoff It was one when he was holding the phone and could do a breakdown of the somersault, it was a true masterpiece.
Damn, I didnt know Joel did his own stunts.
I like how he's been to an american school since 5th grade but still talks in broken english and doesn't know the word for car
While the video is recorded in the Netherlands, seeing the background
"the kinetic energy of the salt is realised when you come over yourself. and i love to come over myself." i love that line
Great work on the submission video dude, really hope you get in!
Thank! - jmd
3:46 underrated moment. Editing genius 😮. Deserves #1 bitcholer
The transitions in this should win an Emmy.
I really like how quickly the focus shifted from the bachelor to just somersaulting. Another hilarious video
every summersault is a masterpiece in gymnastics
Jean, I sincerely hope you get Bachelor, oh Jean, how you've somersaulted into all our hearts.
I see he's a dark souls enjoyer
Truly, this man is the salt of the summer.
I am an American in the South of France right now and this is exactly what I see around me. This is not parody. This is reality. XD
Saumeursaulte
Yeah, we only move through the use of somersault. Quicker, and waste less vertical space. There are better uses for the vertical space.
No we don't speak like this. He has a quasi-italian accent! Very different
@@tenns "He has a quasi-italian accent" yes, it's near the France-Italy border
@@foljs5858 if you think people near the border have a similar accent go there and have a learning session
3:48 love this transition! Almost like the image does a perfect somersault into the video!
How I imagine Dark Souls fans approach dating.
My favorite part was the burp that didn't even interrupt his line 😂
Holy shit, please Joel, PLEASE do more character pieces. It's brilliant
"And I love to come over myself." - Joel Haver 2023.
If this man ever taught me to somersault on a date, I'd be head over heels. Then head below heels. Then head over heels once again.
I watched this in 144p, in my opinion, the only way to watch this in order to get the full experience.
03:18 the editing for it to pause midway the somersault, then starswipe with Jean-Michel creeping awkwardly forwards is just perfect. I dunno why that made me laugh so much
Joel's French accent is so good it turned me into baguette
same 😔
Avec beurre.
This has such Jack Haver vibes and I'm all for it
WARNING! If you are at a gym on a treadmill please be careful, because when the line "i love to come over meself" happens you might fly off the treadmill from laughing too much... (as i almost did).
This was definitly filmed in the Netherlands I feel. Looks so much like it. Groetjes en geniet van Nederland :)
I just love that you can take such a simple gag and have it fit cozily into a few minute sketch
The slow transition and realization of what was going on with the portrait at 3:45 is the greatest editing I’ve ever seen
I like the idea that aliens will glean our media to learn of humanity and stumble across this video and base their understanding of us off of it. We could be so lucky.
classic joel acting out a french character in finland
if that isn't The Netherlands I'll buy a hat and eat it
@@PietNeerschiet I'll buy a hat and eat it if it is
@@gamerbread8623 It's in Rotterdam, The Netherlands. I'll be expecting video evidence of you eating a hat please ;)
This is a worthy prequel to my favourite film Midsommarsault
Breathtaking fx in this one 👏👏
I love how he struggles with saying “do with” but then says “neglected” like it was nothing.
Finally someone who shares my passion for sommersaults, Jean-Michel has already won my heart over 🌹
I feel a strong Kids in the hall vibe here and I like it!
Therapist: "Show me on this birdhouse where you were touched as a child..." Jean: points at the whole thing.
This is the best comment on here 😂
The editing in this is golden!
World class editing on this video!
Average Dark Souls enemy origin story
I would absolutely watch a full season of the Bachelor with Joel just being awkward and weird the whole time. That would be amazing!
This is yet another one of your masterpieces, oh my heavens, Joel.
I love the editing in this so much holy jeepers
looking forward to this upcoming season
There's only 2 or 3 channels that I have notifications on for and that I leave a like and watch the video as soon as I see it. You're one of them.
This was really cool, the editing was unique too
Everything about this is great. The transitions, the incorrect dimensions stretching the image, etc. This brings me back. Lower expectations came in briefly
This was such a wonderful and insightful video into human nature, thanks again for sharing this.
That edit at 3:47 is so funny. Had me dying
Same 😂
Jean-Michel has mastered all 4 criteria for the ideal The Bachelor candidate: 1. Do a somersault. 2. See above. 3. See above. 4. See above.
Watched with a friend, amazing stuff
Genuinely worried about Joel's spine after watching this lol
this man has a passion for something, thats for sure.
I love this i had a grinn ear to ear throughout the whole thing. Thank you somersault very nice
Fantastic editing, oddly nostalgic of another time
You get my 🌹
During my time watching this video I felt a feeling in my loins that was, quite frankly, alarming. Someone has to tell Jean-Michel that the Bachelor is a COMPETITION and if he were to submit this video it would be a very uninteresting watch as it would be blatantly obvious who would win.
wow! i love editing!
The transitions are worth the spot alone!
the existence of this video implies the existence of a "the bachelor" Domination tape
This looks so much like europe, the cars, the grass and the colors on the car plates remind me so much of the netherlands, please tell me im not the only one 😢
Thanks, Joel, for bringing this little light into our lives. fun and silly. love it.
this guys gonna win it all
Keep up the good work
Not many people know this. It's a very little-known historical fact that the Vikings used a special type of warrior that helped them defeat almost all of their opponents in every country they invaded for generations. When the attack happened they had people at the front leading the charge who when approaching the enemy would roll on the ground toward them, which would surprise the enemy and startle them and give them pause long enough for the Vikings to breach their ranks and annihilate them. The Vikings would always assault in the summertime, which is where we get the word somersault from.
i know people say this all the time nowadays but this video really truly has that old school youtube feel to it, from the abrupt cuts to the premise and the simplicity.. just wonderful. belongs in a time capsule for future generations to experience
I love your more character-driven stuff like this
Dang that's brutal, just slamming into the ground each time 😂
This is one of those videos that I have to be in the mood for. Outta the gate I'm just too uncomfortable lol.
Thank you yes! Mood for love yes! - jmd
this is one of the best ones
Masterpiece
ok cant wait for bachelor now if JM is on !!! :)
I misread the title as "The Bachelor Submissive Type"... I guess this is pretty good too...
Joel Haver is the type of comedian/writer/creator where I just see the title and thumbnail and I'm already laughing lol love your stuff dude you're so so incredibly talented!!!!!
We need a sequel to this 🙏
So...I just thought for myself if this is the best or the worst video to introduce my friends to your channel...and then the burp happened...and I still don't know...i'm confused...but also happy...love your content, keep it up :)
How do you maintain such a bold and sexy attitude, Joel?
the commitment to never rolling once was amazing
The form on those somersaults though👌
Having no positive male role models speaks volumes for his character's mannerisms
What a dumb and ridiculously clueless comment. But hey, don't let things like paying attention, or logic, or rational thought etc get in the way of your written nuggets of stupidity.
Crazy thing is I’m currently watching a French movie (Le Samourai) while Joel uploaded this video pretending to be a French guy. 😂
This is GOLD
He never misses, the absolute legend!
