The confidence to delete only SOME characters in a password is mind boggling
His theme music was playing so he felt confident.
Glad I'm not the only one to think this
I thought the same thing I was like “oh no he has to start over!”
Right i juat delete the whole thing even when i know how many times to hit backspace. Reset password for failed attempts is too scary 😢

It's my favorite book. Too bad I only ever printed the one book, but the title wouldn't be true if I had printed more.

The reveal of “World’s Worst Dog” had me in stitches

Gotta admire the confidence of someone when, realising there's a robber in their house, to just waltz into the room without a weapon, phone, no clear plan. Just flicks on the light, then mocks them for not knowing the password.

When I watched Watchmen, I was very disappointed that the supposed "smartest man in the world" locked all his top-secret data behind a password someone could guess by walking 10 feet to the only shelf in his office.
I had the exact same thought when watching this video :D That was so bad, it kinda must've been on purpose. Maybe Moore just trolled us. Or did Ozymandias' huge ego somehow make him *want* the Watchmen right there at the end with him? Maybe part of him didn't want them killed and banked on them finding him in his secret base?
I know. I loved the movie but that made my toes curl.
My farts are better than Joel’s farts 💨
Didn't he want them to find him?
In Batwoman, Batman's password was "Alfred".
That password was perfect, but the 1 was honestly the big brain move
It's unironically a good password. Right up there with correcthorsebatterystaple
My passwords also contain multiple words, mainly because my job requires them to be like 18 characters or longer.
Well now when IT forces him to update his password he can just change the 1 to a 2!
totally not what I did while I worked for a bank or anything @@snowboarderdude123
@@snowboarderdude123 I _hate_ it when IT does that! What's the point of coming up with a good password if IT is just gonna force you to change it every 3 days? 😠
I lost at the "random people don't know them" note under the family picture. All the sticky notes having extra messages that cancel them out was so clever and funny.
I like the idea that one would plan an extremely elaborate and high-stakes heist, just to have it hinge entirely on guessing a password
I think anyone who would suggest that in an actual real life covert planning scenario would probably be told to leave the room.
guy would probably have better luck stealing the guy's hard drive than guessing a password.

This is the best comment. Not on this video. The best period.
Joel, this was one of your best. I laughed the entire video. Just the idea that you have a framed photo of the world's worst dog kills me.
Have you seen the toilet paper bears or grinch videos?
i like to think he has a photo of the world's worst dog on his desk to remind him of what not to become

The password guessing trope is one of my pet peeves. It’s so ridiculous. This parody was spot on.
Even better when they have a circuit board that finds the characters of the password one by one in random order.
Still not as bad as easily hot-wiring a car by pulling a bunch of wires out from under the dash that don't exist in real life and rubbing them together. Let's also forget about the fact that the steering wheel is locked in place.
@@jdroofcleanpw Man, you’re not kidding. One of the worst culprits of this is Walking Dead. Enjoyed the show, but you’ve got these guys & gals hotwiring cars that have been sitting idle for 6-7 years & they start like nothing’s wrong. Perfect battery & everything. 😂
Joel is the master of plot twists. Literally actually never see them coming
he doesn't either at times 😂
@@NorroTaku Based Zoro pfp 👍
It would be so difficult to guess Joel's age at the circus. He could be any age
I dunno mate I think he is something between 12 and 60
"You think I'm stupid enough to leave clues to my password around my office?" Continues to list clues around the office about his password. Absolute genius.
The "one" at the end was so real.
My favorite part of Joel’s videos are when they break character laughing. You can tell how much fun they’re having every time
i was REALLY hoping BUSTER was actually just a note saying "NICE TRY BUSTER" 🤣🤣
That's not really my mom. That's a photo... I THREW IT ON THE GROUND
Love that video 🤣 “My dad’s not a phone!”
Same thing I thought!😂 "My dad's not a cellphone!"
The breathing is accurate man
My farts are better than Joel’s farts 💨
I love the completely unnecessary act of putting the flashlight in the mouth so he could use both hands to go through the secrets book, like he couldnt just do that with one hand.
such a smart idea to keep things labelled. very organize!
Thank you Nick!!
Darn, I use that same password. Now I have to change everything.
😎
Love the production design effort: the Granby map, somehow getting your monitor to have a Windows 2000 look, and best of all, the Complete Personal History book 🤣
im always impressed that these guesses never fumble on case-sensitivity
In _Machete_ it kind of did.
A string of words like that actually make a solid password that's easy to remember but hard to brute force guess.
XKCD did that as a comic
@@wartginThere's always a relevant xkcd, doesn't it
Rooms with that many clues scattered everywhere are usually ones you don't break INTO, they're ones you try to get out of.
This must be why new passwords require uppercase and special characters 😂
My farts are better than Joel’s farts 💨
joking aside it actually is the reason, people are way too prone to use easy passwords if a system allows it
And numbers. I'm not sure why they bother with Caps and special characters since 99% of the time the first letter is capitalized and people choose the exclamation mark as the special character. I swear at one of my old jobs they had me write down every new hires password because they had to watch training videos and the system wanted to track which ones they watched, but they would keep forgetting the passwords so one day my manager just started having me get them all to write down so they could get back in when they forgot it. Every. Single. Time it was the first letter capitalized and an exclamation mark. I guess I'm the only person the company hired that used something else instead
@@arthand7672 Because the existence of caps and special characters increases entropy. Crackers can account for that and the knowledge that most passwords have aforementioned limitations makes it a lot easier, but it's still an extra bit of randomness. If you don't enforce the use of caps and such, people WILL default to making the easiest passwords that might even be guessed by a human ("admin", "123"). Forcing them to add more stuff increases entropy and thus makes simple brute forcing way harder. Knowing, of course, that in most passwords the first letter is a capital letter and the only special characters come at the end, allows crackers to adjust the algorithm and makes it so much easier, but in terms of raw brute force, it's still FAR better than allowing pure lowercase passwords. I'm just amazed that some sites allow people to have short passwords. 8 characters doesn't mean shit to a machine.
No it's not. And it's not new. There is a website that catalogues the most stupid rules for passwords. Each additional rule for passwords makes passwords easier to guess. The most famous example is the Enigma code machine that was broken because it didn't allow a character to map to itself. Even sillier is when there is a maximum for password length, and when certain characters are not allowed. My guess is that those rules exist to guarantee that passwords can be broken, because that is all they do. The erroneous thinking behind requiring mixed case and "special" characters seems to be that passwords that are more difficult to remember are also more difficult to brute force. So they significantly reduce the search space. Human logic.
Never stop laughing at your own jokes. It makes me feel better when I do it, knowing I'm not alone out there
I really did not expect the sketch to go as far as it did. But it subverted my expectations. Good job.
Eh, could've had a sweeter ending, the last minute is basically just explaining the joke.
@@quickdraw6893the password itself is hilarious though 😂
Having pictures and their names of random people he doesn't know is in itself one of the funniest things I've encountered this week.
The dramatic whispering is perfect
I work in IT people absolutely litter clues to their password, when they don't just write it
This was wonderful to see! I really like the extra work you put in for the asterisk input field going beyond the text box. Was that just a picture in paint with a text box overlay?
That was all photoshop with the text animated in premiere!
def came to the comments for the answer to this burning question, pleasantly surprised I wasn't the only one.
Nice Fort Boyard cameo, especially in a password guessing game.
Joel is so good at subverting expectations- when the protagonist filled the password box after finding the first clues I thought surely he'll have to hit enter to try the password because if he finds more clues then us, as the audience, won't get the satisfaction of seeing the password getting any longer and how ridiculous it'd be getting. Then we see the screen and the asterisks overflow over the password prompt screen- I laughed so hard, hilarious and brilliant
Nobody said it was easy, but no one ever said it would be this hard
In the end we discover it was never about the password, but the friends we made along the way.
The first time you actually do guess a password correctly is amazing. I "hacked" a coffee shop Linux system because the password was something like coffee
I had to upgrade some software at a Law office once, and one of the attorneys was out of town... I looked around his office and he had a Harley Davidson calendar, a little Harley model motorcycle, and a bunch of other similar merch. Yep, his password was Harley.
@@costanzafaust lol. And if it hadn't been that, it would be Harley1 or Harley!
It's always "password".

The way he covers the notes in a way that conceals critical information and how he folded the note about a bad password idea shows he was deliberately trying to catch out a potential intruder, and it’s honestly such a power play
Definitely going to add a folded up "Bad password idea" post-it to my monitor
3:03 Love the picture of Fort Boyard. I was on that boat a few years ago.
Should have called Alpha Force.
To be honest, i'd never guess that password.
I love how you couldn't keep it together at the end, you guys are hilarious.
See ya guys, on my way to crack Joel's channel now that I know the password photophotophotogiftmap1 Ha, what a fool
If I broke into someone's house to access their computer and just find a bunch of sticky notes with clues about the password, I'd try to get out of there ASAP, because this is either a trap of the office of a madman.
If only he knew Numerology.

This is scarily accurate. Down to the whispering, heavy breathing, and random clues scattered around.
The putting the flashlight in mouth while flipping through a book was too accurate

“Worlds worst dog” fucking SHATTERED me
Man, you are absolutely brilliant. Thanks for the laughs, as always.
I didn't expect anything good on that theme, I feel like internet already done a hundred thousand billion videos on this. But that was really good ! Each twist was unexpected, really funny
From 2:38 and on Joel stands in front of a picture of Fort Boyard, a military fort later turned into a remote prison along to the French west coast. Later on this fort was used as a decor for a TV show called "Fort Boyard', broadcasted in various European countries & USA where participants had to find keys to unlock a treasure. Coincidence?! Or is Joel a genius? 🗝
Came in comment section for this.
If you're French you can't miss it
I was just thinking about this the other day. Thank you for doing a sketch about it
okay but the revealed password at the end is actually a pretty good password
That had me laughing! "Random people, don't know them" XD
Guessing the password cliche in movies/tv has always been a big pet peeve of mine - and it's still being shown

I actually did this once. My cousin bought a used computer, but it wasn't reset, so he couldn't get in to use it. I ended up using the profile icon and background to guess it was something like soccerkid21 and it worked. Lol

I remember reading a book where some teens were trained to be spys. It's been a while since I read it but the hacking part stood out to me. They had fairly realistic sounding hacks from the hacker previously, like... going onto a computer, downloading some tools from his own website, running a program then deleting those tools. Made sense to me as a kid. But... then they had a moment where the spy organization was asked to test a military facilitys security. The guards were made aware of the test and were given the task of protecting some fake documents- they had like- fake guns and such. You know, just a training thing, the guards didn't take it seriously because the people they were up against were a bunch of teens. It was interesting, they broke in, got onto the computer without raising the alarm, then it was the hackers turn. I was into it, and started to guess what he was doing, maybe he'd already hacked in previously to another database and gained the password. They did a cool thing previously where they showed hacking wasn't just about running codes, they also might make a phone call and impersonate someone to get information or get them to do something. I was expecting something like that, basic, grounded, and kinda made sense. ... Hacker started wildly guessing... the password was something like passw0rd. The military lost, the general was furious and didn't know how the kids cracked the computer when they spent billions on security software and safety nets. The hacker dude smirked and informed them that 'passw0rd' was a terrible password and gave them some alternatives. ... I remember rubbing my eyes and audibly tell the book "YOU ASSUMED THE FRIKIN MILITARY USED THAT KINDA PASSWORD ON A SECURE COMPUTER?! SON OF A- WHAT IF YOU WERE WRONG?!?" That was- one of the most frustrating parts of that book. Stuck with me all these years. I remembered dropping that book series because it's writing started to have those kinda holes in it
That's not unrealistic. As late as the early nineties, it was not uncommon for milnet computers to have the password file world writeable in case the admin locked himself out. (You couldn't get into milnet from a computer on another network anyway, which is why hackers used the security advisory MITRE's machine which had a telephone directory and allowed to dial into milnet computers directly from the command line; needless to say MITRE was 100% secure.) VAXes would list all the users on the system to anyone before login, so you knew what user names to try. SSH worms assume that the password is the user name, and they are still not extinct. And until the late 2000s the nuclear launch codes were ten 0s (but the order of them was a state secret).

Thank you for another classic Joel

Alternate ending: He figures out the password but can't find the files. As he searches the computer for them, the other guy walks in. Other guy: "Whoa, did you just figure out my password? What was it? I locked myself out months ago and have been working exclusively on my second computer since then! I was trying to remind myself what it was by thinking of things I could have put as the password, but could not figure it out!"
He's got the Logitech MX Keys. The victim is a man of good taste.
