Made with my cousins and uncles while at a hotel for my other cousin's wedding. If you ever have time to kill at a family gathering make something together, it's fun!
Sounds like you had a lot of fun! It clearly showed! :D
I thought it read if you have time to kill a family member
Everyone did a great job!
I honestly thought you hired actors, your family is amazing, this story was awesome and hilarious.
i couldnt tell the difference, i thought they were all you
No exaggeration this ones a masterpiece
top joel haver skits bracket on hivemind
I'm not sure about masterpiece, as far as adjectives go I'd like to hear some more options.
@@craigape Magnum Opus?
@@craigape S-tier, magnificent, galaxy-brain, golden, sex, sex-inducing, brainussy-slaying, nice
It's his best video so far this year!
Joel appearing for no more than 10 seconds in a video on his own channel just to inexplicably deliver a horseshoe to his cousins is such a Joel thing to do
I wanna know why they had a horseshoe just lying around!
didn't he die tommorow?
It's very Hitchcock
@@NoNameAtAll2 what does this mean
@@NoNameAtAll2 No he's going to die last week.
deep message ... when you are young you have 3000 options ... when you get older not so many and you are fucked ... be thankful for your oppurtunities
Thank you. It’s what I needed to hear.
Wait... that's actually pretty smart lol
🤯
What the fuck...we're fucked
What the fuck, we're fucked
instantly an absolute top-tier Joel creation
up there with depressed frisbee kid
agreed!
I have watched two Charlie Kaufman films in my lifetime, and this counts as my third!
Lot of good videos lately. This channel keeps getting better.
-- And he Alfred Hitchcocks his way into it as Passerby With Horseshoe! Top-tier!
Joel’s part as the guy with the horseshoe was amazing. Unbelievable method acting..
Apparently he walked down hotel hallways with a horseshoe for months. Dedication to his craft.
It's like I really believed he handed them a horseshoe.
@@trublgrl exactly, right!?
I wasn’t sure he could pull it off after the original performer dropped out on such short notice. What a work ethic.
It’s like he truly **became** a guy handing off a horseshoe. I mean, he lived it, man. It was in your face, and you couldn’t avoid seeing it.
Man its crazy to think that Joel would age those two gentlemen 30 years just for a short film, great method acting right there.
Making good content requires sacrifice! Preferably by somebody else
Even Big Money Erik wouldn't put that much effort for a video. Though we'll find out in 30 years
“What the fuck, we’re fucked.” Beautifully delivered. I almost shed a tear 🥲
I think part of this video's purpose was to get their dads to say "What the fuck? We're fucked" over and over again.
The fact that Joel's only cameo was to hand off a horseshoe was pure gold. Also love the idea of sending a Frenchman to their door.
I am always so happy to see Jim Haver. His acting is freakin fantastic.
His delivery on "holy shit that might work" is perfection.
Beautiful, I cried 4 times and got 44 tears on my BLOMFU keyboard
oh shit are your fours ok?
@@mauricebarth4401only a fool would cry over their four zone.
I love how Joel is fine with being an extra in his own videos 😊
Cuz sometimes it's not about the screentime, it's about the art ❤️.
I mean he was even dead for a few of them
@@mishXY Joel truly gives everything for his art
Directing while acting is a lot of extra work. I think it's impressive he found the time for such a cameo
Just a regular old director's cameo
That “end of options” part instilled in me copious amounts of dread. This one was beautiful, Joel.
Your relatives absolutely knocked it out of the park! I was so sure they were sketch pros, my first instinct was to look up their KZhead channels after this!
I thought that one guy was Oompaville at first
The best kind of Joel videos are the ones where you don't know if the person in it is one of Joel's family members or an actual youtuber with experience in acting and comedy
I don't know how he does it, but Joel always seems to bring the best acting out of everybody
The Haververse is vast and infinite
You can play as the aliens if you want to. :D
I appreciate their hesitation with sending to aliens. You never know WHICH aliens might get it and don’t want to piss anyone off. Such gentlemanly blokes.
This absolutely exudes late 2000’s youtube in the best way possible. What an unbelievably smart and fun idea to explore!
😢
I mean, KZhead started in 2005 so early 2000s KZhead was just not having youtube
@@ohmydinosare u right lemme fix that real quick
That's what I love about this channel, not too many people make skits like this anymore.
Stressful day at work, but hyped to see this just came out. Thanks Joel
Sorry to hear it was a stressful day, hope this video could provide some much needed chuckles!
Same.
This is the most creative and and most hilarious video I’ve watched, ever. Hands down. Joel you’re a freaking genius film maker!
Thank you Vic! Happy you enjoyed it :)
This actually made me mess with my voice-mail settings, now I feel like a fool.
@@Joel-Haver There's also a dark undertone, like growing old means running "out of options" hidden meaning. Or I imagined it...
@@foljs5858 hmm cool interpretation, i like that
@@foljs5858 I think it's intentional. I wonder if it was inspired by his recent video about rewatching films, as he did mention Synechdoche, New York having a greater impact on him each watch.
Geez Joel, that transition at 4:16 was so smooth. My jaw dropped. Amazing work here. Your family is incredible! "Press 8 to have a nice day." "It's beautiful out there!"
Your family all has a specific accent that is entirely unique to the rest of the world. I love it.
I don’t know why, but Charlie ever so gently slamming his fist against the wall at 4:43 got to me
04:56 Oscar winning performance. Tears, people! Real, palpable emotional performance. BUY THAT MAN A BEER!
I loved that delivery. Something about it just made me laugh!
Never really thought about what would happen after pressing 1. I’ve never done it in my entire life but it’s so familiar to me 😂
I need more batshit sci-fi Joel Haver like this hilarious concept
It's always peak Joel for me, they're genius and immediate classics!
I feel like Jack Haver would have loved this one in particular. Great work Joel and way to keep it in the fam!
this one got that old joel haver flavor with a side of jack haver stank on it
This was actually a great concept and done really well lol. Even more impressive that it's all just family members!
The fact you got such great performances out of your relatives shows your ability as a director. Also, you have an awesome family.
Or just that it's easy to see where Joel gets the talent from, clearly runs in the family!
That pan away for the Jay Leno reveal was nuts!
that was actually brilliant
This is the best video ever
Super high quality uncles! And cousins!
Such a clever conceit, but the genius was in the execution. Lots of short comedy filmmakers would have just played out the premise, but you explored the premise and introduced a conflict from it, which not only heightened tension but also gave it a proper narrative structure. Loved it!
I see we've got new additions to the Joel Haver Universe
That hotel looks pretty familiar 😂 excellent work, gentlemen! 👏
Moose, is that you? We love you man! Thanks for chilling with us when we couldn't find a way back to our less-swanky hotel.
Lolololol love this! Thank you again for the offer to crash in the lobby, Moose! We did end up stealing a car to get home that night, but thankfully Joel doesn’t drink and the car was our other cousin’s so it all worked out in the end 👍 lol
Man you are either great at giving direction, or you have a talented family
The consistent performances in all his vids the former is certainly true
You can feel Joel in the way they deliver some lines. You could watch this video with no context or credits, and the moment Henry says "speed dial, type the numbers faster", you'd know you were watching a Joel Haver film. The wit, the pacing, the delivery, all undeniably Joel. The guy's exceptional.
Porque no los dos
He really encapsulated Jay Leno's whole being into that "CARS!"
How did I know that Joel's uncle's were uncles before reading the description lol. They just have such uncle energy
The Jay Leno bit is def a reference to that movie "Being John Malkovich", if anyone wanna see that idea fleshed out to the extreme, watch this movie!!
1. Funny and great acting 2. This inspires me to make movies with family, I used to do it in my late teen early 20s
So glad they went outside to keep recording, it was such a nice day!
🤯
That was my favorite bit: "Press 8 to have a nice day." *raises curtain to look outside* "It's fucking beautiful out there!"
Honestly, the throwback to "guys kind of guy" put the biggest smile on my face. Your family is amazing 😂 😂 😂 ❤ ❤ ❤
"You have now entered, the Haver Zone" 😱
i wish my family had the comedy gene
This may honestly be my favorite video of yours to date
Absolutely agreed. Having it all be Joel's family really makes it come full circle!
Mozart, K. 330 (2nd movement). Lovely choice.
Thanks so much man! I was trying to figure out what the familiar piece was but couldn’t identify it with apps with all the voices.
That “Collage” hat is incredible
this is painfully reminding me of the time i promised a friend i would call her, but i got very sweaty and nervous, so i managed to leave a voicemail without actually ringing her phone, and she thought her phone was broken and i never revealed the truth i'm so sorry for lying to you, paige
I'll never forgive you as long as I live!!!!!!11 - Paige
@@A_Ducky who are you?!? did you steal my identity? Don't worry about it, phonecalls are spooky - Paige
This video was very informative, thank you
it's amazing how your uncles have the exact same energy your dad had, i love that, it's like seeing him again (i'm guessing they're your dad's side if not mb lol)
I notice he pressed pound instead of 1. He didn't want to actually activate the wormhole in real life just for a sketch.
That speed dial joke was mmmm Sheppard's pie.
The fourth wall break was hilarious. Thank you for this
Just got off the phone with my High School trying to get my Transcripts, boy do I love talking to answering machines
I feel like "press to age 30 years" is gonna be the new "insane-o style" it's absolutely iconic
I was just thinking it would be great to see another vid with Joel's uber-talented family members. "The Kids' Table" is a classic, and one of my favorites. Now we have a new classic
This must've been so much fun to make with his family members. Joel's video ideas are endless. Lol
I keep getting worried how Joel can keep up this tremendous high quality output of ideas and videos over the course of time. Don't know how he keeps this up!
@@ComedyBros5 I think because of how random his ideas are, he will probably have more for a long while. He could just make a story about a cup & it'll work perfectly in his comedic style.
Came for the MMORPG, stayed for Joel’s family.
those uncles deserve oscars for using 100% of their willpower to not bust out laughing after every sentence
this is legit an ok concept for an scp
This is high art and your uncles are freaking legends.
Seems like you were lucky enough to be born into a family where everyone is just effortlessly funny
this had the potential to go anywhere comedy, thriller, tragedy, horror simply near infinite options at the push of a button
I love the gental pounding on that wall from your uncle (because its a hotel room and they're *acting*)
Glad to see your cousin again after the tech support sketch!
Joel getting his family to act in a top tier video while I can’t even get my family to show up for a dinner that was planned 6 months in advance. Jk I don’t have a family.
Yelling "FUCK FUCK FUCK" while gently pounding on the wall is incredible
so you got a thousand options until you are old then you have none. this one gives me existential crisis.
One of the best scripts I’ve seen in a while! Hilarious and deep concept!
This is truly entertaining and hilarious. I love the idea, and also the pace of the video. My favourite scene has to be the horseshoe one. Thanks to the team 😁
The "I got to page 6 I freaked out and I came over here" shit got me
Henry.... thats one guys' guy type of guy right there.
another instant classic from joel
the way your uncles voices carry over their own sentences, the pacing of it, is so good for this type of skit wtf
Holy fuck. How profound. You have infinite options in life. You age and become old. Then you run out of options and there’s no going back. This is awesome.
Hearing that they are all family explains why it feels like joel just in different costumes
The best part is after you get thru all the bazillion options.... and the actual person hangs up on ya. I live for those Comcast calls 🤙
This is a brilliant SCP.
Ok, this is my favourite one yet
I really like the ones with your family. All the ones with your Dad, the one where you are the adult at the kids table, the one where you break into the house and your mom is casually whacking her boots with the baseball bat, the pet turtle, and this one! ❤
Press "F" to pay respect for the amazing content this channel provides us with!
They were so careful and considerate about so many options... Poor guys.
Holy shit, this was transcendent, and I say that as someone in his 6th decade (barely). That old guy and his friend are basically me and my bestie when I see him once a year without the sci-fi.
2:07 that Italian was awful and barely coherent... I guess that that phone is a bit broken! XD
This one is an instant Joel hall of fame right there
This is such a fun and wholesome skit
Love how they had so much power over some things, yet they questioned the morality of doing it.
Two dudes having a couple two-hearted ales! This wedding must’ve been a blast!
You always have more options when you're young...
top 3 for sure. Maybe my favorite on this entire channel actually
The "It's fucking beautiful" was my favorite part for some reason.
Someone write an SCP article about this, immediately
Love you Joel! Your videos are always a wonderful treat.
This is vaguely like the King door thing where the next door is forbidden but better then the last until your just dropped into a horrible place
And now, I challenge the modern day computer nerds to join forces with the phone phreaks of the 80s/90s to actually create this system.
Favorite vid from you in quite a while! great work!
This is the most chill Twilight Zone episode I've ever seen
Seriously one of the best videos in a while! and they are always great!
One of your best, went back to this today
Those few moments when I thought Jay Leno was actually going to appear.
