hi brandon 🫶🏼🫶🏼
WE LOVE YOU BRANDON 🤍🤍🤍
hey brandon 😉
Hey Brandon🥰
Seeing Brandon do his characters without the wigs, makeup and costumes is so surreal to see.
it was disorienting
Why'd you have to go and make things so complicated? I see the way you're acting like you're somebody else. Gets me frustrated. Just admit that you love the videos I make, my dear var

“cathy’s just my mom” IS THE BEST SENTENCE EVER HAHAA
Makes me wonder about those cups of "coffee" now 😭 /j
@@msthecommentator2863oh no 😭
Cathy is my mom if she wasn’t british.
Out of context this comment is fucking hilarious
@@leghost2453oh yeah lol
HE IS SO FUCKING SWEET. I saw him live and he was an absolute delight. Knowing he can be a fucking deviant during performance but is an angel when you meet them... You almost have hope for "you SHOULD meet your heros". Thank you for doing this interview. I love him so much and getting to hear his story. You can see the slight dissociation during certain questions... I may or may not have cried.
Oh absolutely! I had the pleasure of seeing him live and getting to talk to him at the meet and greet. He was incredibly sweet, had such great energy, just a great person to talk to!
I’ve known Brandon since he started on KZhead we’re Facebook friends and he sent me a video of him reciting a poem I shared from one of my antique books and him and the cast of his show Theatre Class sent me a card and 2 autographed pictures and they all signed the card and Brandon wrote me a message on the card 🥺 he is a wonderful person! ❤
@@Schmooplesxo2you are very lucky omfg
Never in a million years did I think that Brandon Rogers would have been involved with the case of Elisa Lam and The Cecil Hotel.
Same
He talked about it very briefly on his podcast years ago, I'm so glad he talked about it more here because that fact has been kicking around in my brain for a while with nowhere to go
@@5tinygrapes Brandon has a podcast?
Time stamp?
@@sh3lt3r47 12:42
Okay but Brandon is a VERY talented multitasker, he voices Helluva Boss Blitzo,Has his own KZhead channel, and a LOT of characters to act, sing, and just play around with, he's overall an enjoyable person and I wanna see him irl soon, :D
1.5k likes and no comments!? Lemme fix that😊
we aint gonna gloss over the fact Brandon Rogers investigated for Elisa Lams case. That shit made my mouth wide opened
Yup I gasped literally because that case was horrific and everyone knows that case. I am glad you said something what a wild thing to have in this interview!!
SAME! i was sHOOK as hell when that set in, i called my friend immediately and she was shook as hell too
Time stamp? But like WHAT, HE INVESTIGATED THE ELISA LAMS CASE??? THAT CASE WAS TERRIFYING.
Frrrr like why is no one talking about it
@@ilovesouthparkespeciallytweek13:01
I think Brandon missed the mark entirely when he referred to his real self as underwhelming. I find just him telling his story quite captivating. He's just an entertaining, fascinating guy. Love him! 🥰
I work in the town he grew up in and know some of his classmates. I also went to the JC he went to theres a picture of him in our drama class. All of what he says accurate.
same he seems so complex and lovely
@@Aqua1515 Wow!
@leafyv2 pretty close to it ye
Agreed
Nice to see Brandon in a more serious setting talking from the heart. He’s so much more than the costumes and characters, he is purely kind and funny
Yeah if you want to see more of him out of character Helluva Boss Q&A’s are fun to watch. He is so passionate about playing and writing for the show. It’s honestly my favorite character of him.
Yeah dude
Agreed
The one thing I've noticed about Brandon is he loves to make his fans smile and laugh ❤️
Yes!! I want to see him more like that he’s amazing I like it when he’s his true self
I just got into Helluva Boss a month ago and absolutely adored Blitz’s voice only to realise that he’s basically an internet video legend! I’m glad I found this interview though because holy shit Brandon went through a shit ton of trauma with being an outcast to get to where he is today. I’m not saying the end justifies the means, but it’s nice to remember that if you stay true to yourself you’ll find your way out of the night no matter how dark it is.
Same! I love helluva boss and Blitz’s voice acting is top tier
27 minutes of Brandon out of character is more than I've ever seen him in the 7+ years I've followed him. I love him as a person and his ideas, his thoughts, the way he views the world. turning the characters off and just being Brandon is so nice.
Damn, Blitzo taking the time outta his busy day to voice Brandon in this video is INSANE to me
ikr i wouldve thought that he would be killing people but he somehow found the time to do that
I CANT UNHEAR IT ANYWAYS AND THIS JUST MADE IT WORSE😭
God dammit 😂
I haven’t even seen hb yet but I liked this comment because I wanted to get it to 666
HOLY SHIT, I didn't notice the likes wtf
I saw Brandon live once and he is such a powerhouse. He was covered in sweat by the end of the show because he DID. NOT. STOP! The entire show. He ran around, danced, talked, laughed, acted, and MCed his own prerecorded segments. He was AMAZING. If you ever get the chance to see him EVER please please go see him! It was unforgettable! He was so kind and sweet and grateful and you could really see him sharing his heart. 🥹💖🥰
He is definitely one committed and intelligent man. I stumbled upon one of his videos on accident and stayed on his content for days.
I just found him tonight Natalie watched one Video and now he and his characters are instantly everything. He has blown my mind. I can't believe how lucky 😍 I am to have all his videos to watch.
I found him three days ago and every single day since I have watched at least two of his videos
Anthony is the best host ever. He makes everyone feel so comfortable and always asks the right questions
Ikr I love his content :D
His question choice is top tier. Even in extremely sensitive topics his wording always makes it comfortable to speak on
Firstly, Anthony and Brandon are drop dead gorgeous. Brandon is an incredible artist and I adore him. So nice to see his true self. What a kind, beautiful soul.
Brandon's content has always made me feel happy but hearing how he felt like me at school has made me feel better about myself knowing that their are other people like me.
What a username
I already knew Brandon was a genuine, hard-working person but holy shit. The fact that he was able to do a show after experiencing something so traumatic and awful is crazy to me. I hope he stays safe. Bless this man :(
How awesome would it be if Anthony interviewed Scott Cawthon (the creator of Five Nights at Freddy's)
@@bilinasmini3480 what does that have to do with this comment?
@@anthonycapri1752 this is probably a bot whos just makin shitty automated replies
@@bilinasmini3480 that would be cool indeed but it has nothing to do with this comment. Bad timing dude!
It wasnt all that traumatic 💀
discovered shit about Brandon today. I love this guy so much, he's amazing and has struggled so much. the more and more I get to know him I realize that his dark humor is just a way to cover his trauma, in similar ways I suppress mine. our traumas are wildly different but I'm starting to understand why this guy helped me cope when I was at the lowest point in my life and going through trauma. I'm so happy I found him, I would not be the same without him.
Dark humour and trauma go together unbelievably well
@@Beelzebubby91 yeah, you get both the best and the worst things from trauma :)
You put everything I felt about this video in words more perfectly than I. I love Brandon and his videos give me so much life and happiness. His characters and Brandon as himself are the type of people I would be so happy to be friends with. He's definitely the reason for keeping me sane throughout my college years especially through the pandemic where everything just sucks and bad. Even at my worse, I will always go back to Brandon for comfort, even watching his older videos like the Theatre Class series makes me feel like Im walking on angry clouds
It is crazy that he started in 2006. I have watched him since 2006. Sometimes falling off but always catching up on him. 16 years as a fan. Thank you Brandon for years of laughs.
6:26 the way he describes this feeling made me tear up because ive never felt like someone got what it was like for me as a kid and someone i look up to just explained that feeling effortlessly
The section "escaping from reality" really hit me in so many ways. I never thought of laughter as such this valuable thing and I never realized that I do that with my friends as much as I can. I am always going through such a rough time but whenever I am with the few that I have (present and past) I always make it my goal and priority to make sure they have the best time possible laughing and just feeling free. I recently just made a new friend and the other day we went to lunch since we were scheduled for it at the same time, and we laughed so hard we wheezed and it was just such a grate feeling. despite the worst I have been though, every single moment of pure laughter has always gotten me to a place of peace within the chaos. Everything is making sense. Thank you, truly.
i hope and wish the best for you man.
Same. I can be in the worst headspace but as long as I can joke around with my best friend and see him smile, I can forget about my troubling thoughts for just a little while.
The fact Brandon said that humans innately know how to laugh from birth which means we inherently experience humour and desire bonds really strikes true to me. Humans and even some animals experience laughter (or closest equivalent) and by extent the emotions, and desire of bonds that comes with it, even at ages with little to no real sense of self or sentience. It isn't taught to you, it's something that sits in your soul and is drawn forth uncontrollably when interacting with those you love, or when something happens that creates that same reaction. Humans are inherently positive beings. For me, this even furthers the proof that negative people are the product of positive people put through negative experiences, and that humans aren't fundamentally evil beings like a lot think. It's cool to think about that fact knowing this, the question of human morality.
And this is why we love this guy because he is so genuine in everything he says or does
People are not evil or pure when they come into this world We are quite literally blank slates human morality does not relate to all people in the same way we’re all individuals who experience and have different biological make up there isn’t some God above us programming us to be a certain way when we come out the womb we’re just like animals bugs plants
Some human beings can't feel emotions.
I really find it fascinating too! I used to work with children who were a year and a half to two years of age. That period of life for a child is so pivotal because it’s their first time experiencing what the world is like beyond their past constraints. They’re walking, many can talk (on varying levels depending on age and the individual), and they’re learning how to interact with adults and children their own age. I’ve seen examples of extreme compassion from the youngest of toddlers. My favorite example is of one summer when I was watching four boys. I had one on the changing table and was dealing with that situation when one of the boys (he was younger than two) came up to me. It was summer so I had shorts on and he started poking at my leg. He started crying and said “owwie!” I was distracted and said: “Oh, you have an owwie? Oh no! I’ll look at it in one moment, okay?” But he kept whining and poking my leg and saying “owwie?” I finally realized he was pointing to a nasty looking cut on my leg (I’m a clutz, I get em all the time lol). He was sad because he thought I was hurt. I can’t even begin to explain to you how I felt in that moment. I couldn’t take my hand off the boy I was changing, but I so wanted to sweep him off his feet and hug him! I did assure him I was fine and that it didn’t hurt. But that was genuine compassion from a baby who was on the cusp of understanding how the world works. And it’s beautiful.
@@marinetter.8423 1 in 24 people are psychopaths. Not all behaving in such a way if they’re taught the value of human bonds.
I have to let Brandon know.... if you see this... I used a quote from Sam in my tinder bio when I had one. "Some people are spooked by niceness. Apparently I'm 'weird'" and it got me a ton of matches. I also to this day use PTA showers in my regular vocabulary.
"put it on your list of things to do" is in mine 😂😂
PTA showers are all you get in bootcamp! 😂
Pta showers?
I just adore Brandon. Such a brilliant, talented, creative, genuine person. I wish Netflix would give him a call already, he deserves to have his own show.
He already has his own shows man that's the point of his channel
I think a company would only sensor him. Part of his genius is being able to do whatever he wants and if he was sensored it just wouldn't seem right. Like he said in the interview he doesn't want to have to depend on someone and he wants to be professionally independent.
@@SomeOne-5621 fr
I know this comment will get lost in the sauce but I really really hope that Brandon Rogers knows the impact he's had on his fans. I love this man so much and I have for 6 years. He's brought me smiles when I was at my lowest. Out of everyone in the world that I could meet in person he'd be in my top 5. I even made a top 10 Brandon Rogers slide show and presented it to my tech class. Brandon, if you read this comment, know that you are amazing and you inspire me and thousands of others like me.
Don't doubt yourself, check the likes it's got now
@@Slenderslayer351 Thanks man 😊
I’m glad this comment didn’t get lost in the sauce ☺️❤️
Lost in the sause
I got to meet him five days ago (March 2024) I was already a fan of blitz but he is much gentler and kinder in person, I love him even more now. So I've been going down a rabbit hole of brandon videos/interviews in youtube.
i think saying “theater class is my comfort show” is all i need to say to express my appreciation for brandon rodgers. the authenticity, the effort, the talent. you can tell he loves what he does and has since the beginning. *man oh man i commented this before watching the video because i was excited but WOW this video is more impactful than i could’ve imagined*
THEATER CLASS IS THE BEST 😭 It had a great story, humor, and awesome actors to top it off.
Theater Class is my comfort show too!!!
I started not to like brandon when he cut Scenes and deleted episodes from it because of cancel culture 🙃 I don't know why this guy is fine with destroying his own content, Taking all that time on something that you worked on just to get it taken down
@@_bluegoodin2227 because he doesn't want everything he worked for to be destroyed by a mob pretending be outraged
I’m sure you’re already aware but it’s been revived!
I can’t listen to this without my brain going *Blitzø* when Brandon says certain things
Fr
Honestly appreciate how down to earth Anthony is, but also how down to earth Brandon is. Nobody really see or knows this side of him, it’s nice to see 😊
He actually went to my high school! I felt the same way during that time; I was always shy and seen as weird for similar reasons. Eclectic style, openly trans at the time, bullied since elementary school, all that. It’s so surreal hearing this from him, but I’m glad he’s opening up. Being bullied in school can feel so isolating and really affect people’s psyche later on. I hope he’s doing better now. And for anyone feeling this way, you’re not alone.
Pipe bomb inbound (joke)
Cap
Then what school.
@@kat_denise_ they meant they are trans not him lol
@@frey880 thats information a person shouldn't give out, nor ask for
As a theatre kid, it makes me green with envy to see how effortlessly Brandon can switch characteers at the drop of a hat when I have to spend weeks getting into the headspace of a single character. Whether he's in character or not though, Brandon is a wonderful individual and seems like he'd be awesome to hang out with
I feel that! I think a benefit Brandon has is that he makes up these characters though, so they’ve always kinda lived in his head. Unless you’re talking about characters you’ve written yourself?
I know I have “characters” I play around my house for example lol. I do dumb voices and act a certain way because I feel like it and it’s always when I’m in a certain mood or something! If you want to really get a fun character just improvised, drink something with a lot of caffeine and hang out with theater friends and just see what comes out 🤣 A lot of my characters are caffeine induced hyper freaks LOL
i’ve always been the same way as brandon, i had a million different characters i’d switch to instantly. but i feel like if i was assigned a character to do, especially if someone else has already done it, im sure it’d take me a while to be able to do it the way i’d want to
To be fair, He's been in the headspaces of these characters for years at this point.
Fr I look up to him bc of it
I've always admired Brandon, honestly. He's such a funny, creative, smart and hardworking person. I just never knew this more human side of him and the shit he went through! I'm so thankful for him tbh, his stuff make me laugh when I don't want to or when I'm looking to.
I met Brandon at his detention tour, and omg he’s so sweet, and he is SO much calmer then everyone of his characters 😂
Brandon has such a complex yet so divine type of personality he is like a literal god
Calm down now he makes funny KZhead videos

It's so surreal to see such a human side to Brandon, I get so used to seeing him as his characters it's really grounding to see this side of him. I'm so glad you did this interview, it reminds us that everyone is human and has their own wars no matter how happy they seem on a stage or a video.
I learned so much about someone I was already a huge fan of. They rarely make them like Brandon.
I especially love how the friendship outside of this influenced the interview. The extra things Anthony knew from their personal relationship made it feel really special.
I am so happy that Anthony brought Brandon in. We get to see a side of him we don't often see and I love it!
He’s got the most stunning smile I’ve ever seen when talking about how passionate he is about comedy, and how much he enjoys bringing joy to us even if he’s had a bad day. Such a genuinely sweet person. I’ve been watching Brandon since his David at the dentist parody, and his videos are some of the many I turn too when I need a quick pick me up! Thank you for being you, Brandon!
God I love Brandon. His description of escapism and how he feels about what he does is so comforting because that's what I do with dance and art, so hearing him saying how he was able to make a career out of something that brings him joy in that way is very motivational and inspirational!
Let’s just appreciate how incredible Brandon is, he’s on an animated tv show, he had his OWN tv show and he makes videos that are so good and funny and he deserves so much more and so much credit is due
The cocreator of the animated show he was on
@@jobdcmt2882 exactly it’s incredible
Hearing Brandon express himself out of character really hit me it’s so weird seeing someone as chaotic as him be so I guess we would say “normal”
I've been watching him for years. Truly a hidden gem 💎 ✨️
he has 6+ mil subs wdym hidden gem
I've been a big fan of Brandon's content for many years, he was one of the first KZheadrs i ever suscribed to, so I'm so glad to see him making new stuff he likes and enjoying himself! And it's so nice to have these instances were you can see his genuine self 🥰
He has the 1st video I've ever watched on KZhead
He reminds me so much of Robin Williams. Especially when talking about how he could do stand up right after being beaten. Because it often is the saddest people that spend their time making everyone around them happy.
idk why I feel like Brandon Rogers looks like Tim Curry sometimes
The new thumbnails are pretty cool. I’ve noticed a difference, so if there’s a new editor or a new method being used, your work is being noticed and it is looking good :)
I agree i noticed too!
i believe there is a new editor, i know anthony gave them credit on his twitter today
I never realized just how much humans needs laughter or atleast how much it helps and affects our lives making it so much more positive, even if it’s just for a little bit. It’s so meaningful and this video has made me realize that.
I’m usually a really jealous person but Brandon clearly deserves all the good things that has happened to him. Like, his comedy, his work, he’s worked so hard to come this far and I love how humble he is despite everything! He’s hilarious and such a good person!
I never really knew Brandon, I didn't really watch his content. My first exposure to him was the "Move, I'm gay" meme. And only after learning who he was after seeing Helluva Boss did I look into him. He's so funny and I'm honestly glad I got to learn about him here. He seems very lovely
i met brandon in 2015 at vidcon during a talk he did, and when it came to questions he called on me first because i had "cool" hair, and when i actually got to talk to him, he was so kind and sweet. 13 year old me was walking on sunshine.
I remember meeting him on the street by complete accident when he was performing in my home town all I have to say is even tho I was already a fan he is still the nicest guy ever
The calming smiles from brandon when anthony complements him is such a sweet reaction, the whole time was so wholesome and video creates such a welcoming vibe
i remember watching him in middle school, and thinking he was the funniest dude. i also remember being in middle school and actively wanting to die because i felt so isolated from my classmates, like everyone was on a wavelength i didn't understand. i was bullied nonstop for being gay, and it was hell. watching this interview just improved my outlook tenfold. if someone as out there as brandon rogers can find his place in the world, i can too. incredibly well done
This is one of the most real things I’ve ever read
The fact that Brandon’s made an entire cinematic-like universe with all of his characters tho! 💯👌🏼
With lore much deeper than MCU
A day at the park was my multiverse of madness
I love that he's the polar opposite of Blitzø :)
They’re exactly the same person the fym 😭 he’s the human version of him istg
THIS WAS INCREDIBLE!! He's so interesting, I wouldn't of guessed in a million years that he had anything to do with the Hotel Cecil incident. I'm not one for interviews but this was amazing, great work both of you!! (I will admit I skipped the Helluva Boss part tho, sorry yo)
Timestamp??
Around 13:00
Yeah his boss is a really good guy. It's rare nowadays to see boss that not only encourages your passion and talent, but to also actively help you in pursuing it.
Brandon is very well spoken. I met him during his tour a while ago and while it was a very short interaction, it was definitely a very big moment for me. Glad to see him doing well!
A year later I still love 23:51 because everything he says is sooooo true. He's one of world's sweetest person in real life especially to his fans you can truly tell he cares and listens he's absolutely a great guy and can't wait to meet him again
This interview made me have a lot more respect for Brandon. His old sleep paralysis demon video really helped me see my sleep paralysis in a new light and not fear it so much. Having an imaginary almost humanized backstory for it (as silly as it is) really helped. Seeing him be so open and humble makes it even better.
with all his recent news, would love to see you spend a day with dan howell. your interview style is just wonderful and you can see how comfortable you make your guests
I mean they’re already great friends, but that’d be interesting to see!
mlpdisneylover yeah i think it’d be really interesting to hear Dan talk about some of the recent stuff with Anthony’s interview style. Maybe it’s just me going through a nostalgia phase with Dans comeback and wanting to combine it with my fav interview series 😂 But Dan’s going on tour, so unless he stops in during his time in America, I imagine it’d be a while until he’d have the times. Fun to think about tho
i agree!!
Bro Brandon has never failed to make me smile from watching his skits as a kid to watching helluva boss now as a teen and it now being one of my comfort shows. I really couldn’t thank him enough
This was a pretty cool interview to see. Brandon Rogers has always seemed super chill as a person and an amazing comedic actor of the young generation. I hope he gets to do something big like host Saturday Night Live because they're all about characters. I think he'd do great.
I’ve been watching his channel grow since I first watched his “David on Drugs” video back in 2009 at 13. I still vividly remember a lot of his old content and I even remember when the pilot of Theater Class was originally uploaded. To see how much he’s progressed not only as a creator, but also individually, is truly astounding and I’m so proud of him & his success! Hope to meet him one day. 💕
I'm only about 5 minutes in but it's so crazy how INSPIRING Brandon is from a creative perspective. I'm a writer, and ideally I'd like to be a writer professionally, especially in a Hollywood setting. He makes it look EASY! and FUN! And picking his brain via interview is one of the best ways to spread the buffet of his mind on the table. To work with or alongside Brandon is a dream at this point, but he really does inspire the shit out of me that one day I'll be this kind of successful.
I wish for you success 😊
Ouuuu good luck. He inspires to to become the actress I’ve always wanted to be
the amount of time and effort brandon puts into all of his work is truly amazing
hearing Brandons real laugh literally brought me happiness. Ive never heard it and it brought me tears i love him sm
i recently met Brandon irl and he truly is so genuine and sweet and kind and fun
Omg this quote from Brandon is so deep and true “sometimes you don’t realize how good something is until it start to show signs of going away” 14:31
Brandon saved me. I was going through a really dark time and he was the only KZheadr who always made me laugh. Not many people understand the comedy, but I did and it made my small world a little bigger
Hope youre doing better now!❤
Things will get better, focus on the future when times are tough ❤
As someone growing up in the liveleak era seeing alot of terrible things and going through my own traumas growing up I felt the exact same way not alot of things made me laugh or smile or happy but he always did I can't thank him enough for that tbh
This is one of the best interviews I’ve seen , very insightful and u guys vibe together so well
I met Brandon in September of 2019. Seriously one of the sweetest most patient people ever
I saw Brandon in DC in November, he’s a straight up genuine guy and I was blessed to be able to speak with him. Can’t wait to see him on his next tour
Was watching your sketch of the mom that always “needed coffee” while getting sober. Despite the dark humor and a reminder of how my life was it gave me hope that one day I would look back and laugh at the situation like I do now sober . Thanks Brandon
I was in high school for the second half of theatre class and I remember each week waiting for a new episode, most of the time they came, sometimes they didn’t, but seeing Brandon from then to now has been such an incredible experience.
i just got into brandons universe and ive never been so happy about comedy and i love his humour and skits. Hearing how traumatized he was before that show and just in general probably makes me so sad i just want to give him a big hug. He seems like the sweetest and funniest person on earth, whether he chabges his personality or not. I love him and im so happy hes here and found himself where hes comfortable i hope to meet him one day im proud of you brandon
Anthony, could you do a video on people with trichotillomania and dermotillomania? (I've already commented this before but, I just really want to get this out there.) Or just BFRBs in general. There are a lot but those are the more common ones. I have suffered with both for years and it would be nice to see other people's stories on it. It would also be great for people who don't understand, or know about it. Thx!
YES OH MY GOD PLEASE
honestly that would be amazing.. i suffer from trich too and people said i had cancer... we need more awareness on bfrbs.
@@rainprincess923 That is horrible that people said that. It's never been that bad for me and I am so sorry that people said that. This is just another reason why we need awareness!!
i would love this. i never knew why i so aggressively felt the need to pick and bite at the skin around my nails my entire life (was doing it as i saw your comment lol) it’d be nice to hear others that deal with it
Yesss please I hope he brings Collen Ballinger, I've seen her struggles with trichotillomania and always spoke bout it. Tbh I never knew it existed until she informed her viewers bout it
Brandon Rogers is a national treasure and I hope that everyone who is involved with helluva boss / has been hotel get as much good exposure as possible they all deserve it
This is an awesome way of giving back to the platform you started in, a great way to spotlight creators, no.. a way to show them that their is a real human being behind the camera. You highlight the good the bad and the ugly in a positive way. This is some good content right here for all parties.
He's a comedy genius, a fantastic actor and one hell of a humble guy
ANTHONY NEVER DISAPPOINTS!! ❤️

hey anthony
hi Anthony! I'm a very big fan, and you are amazing, these videos you make are absolutely incredible, and also uh... let me steal ur wardrobe pls
bet
Im so excited for this vid ❤❤❤
Anthony I'm transgender
seeing brandon more healed makes my heart full
They are so sweet to each other. The way Anthony is just complementing and Brandon's smile, it's just so cute.😊
This video makes me feel better. Friends always ask "how are you smiling talking about going through such horrible things?" I usually respond with the same things Brandon said such as "If I've gone through that and I'm still here able to smile, I can go through it again and be fine. It's ok to smile." And I know it gives them hope to get though whatever they go through.
Slipping into your characters accidently is such a Theater kid thing to say. I feel that
I love Brandon sooooo much. As someone who wants to make movies, he inspires me to make so many different stories. We love you Brandon!!!
I’ve been following Brandon’s KZhead for years. He is my outlet when I’m feeling down. I never knew any of this. Brandon is now my hero. Thank you 🙏 for this interview. I’m so much more stronger now after watching him speak his truth. Thank you 🙏 and never stop!
As someone who grew up watchijg Brandon but grew out of his content a couple years ago, I’m glad to see he’s as down to earth as he was when I found him in 2009 and the skits didn’t get to him like a lot of other sketch comedians went through
I was waiting for this episode. You and Brandon are like super best friends, and I love it!
Ugh I love brandon, I’ve watched him since like 2016-2017 n I just love how he’s himself n his creativity. I feel like me n him have that unspoken relationship, he’s made me laugh when I thought I’ve had no more emotions, I wish he would come back to KZhead regularly. He’s helped me in ways he doesn’t even know.
Brandon: "I hated having bosses. I didn't even realize I had a good one..." You could say that he was a... helluva boss???
Brandon is such a smart dude, hearing his insight on all this is really refreshing. He’s completely different from his characters and seems like a genuine and caring person.
His expressions as Anthony talks are so clear and apparent. I find it really comforting and I love how earnest those expressions are.
This interview almost made me cry since how much I genuinely related to Brandon and how much I wanna be like him😭💕 he’s the highlight of my day and I’d love to some day see him live 😭💕💕
I gotta say I always appreciate the way the curse words are edited out. As an autistic person who is very sensitive to sounds, the "beep" traditionally used is way too overwhelming for me. I really, really appreciate how soft the words are edited out.
Wait thats a thing? Shit…explains why harsh audio makes my brain feel like its being stabbed.
this man is amazing, ive never even realised the amount of effort he does and has gone through for comedy im truly inspired by him wow
The effort Brandon puts into his work as a comedy artist, voice actor, director, etc, is absolutely incredible. Thank you for the best laughs I’ve had in a while!
Brandon seems like such a fun friend to have and such a fun person to work for.
Brandon is someone that I would’ve 100% been friends with if we had gone to high school together. I was also feeling I was just misunderstanding everyone around me and no one would ever give me the time of day to express myself
