To be fair SNL did add their own creative liberties Like making the video unfunny
Yep! 😂 I told my wife, “oh, so after having months to prepare, the best they can do is taking something pretty funny and make it completely unfunny.”
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!! That is accurate. When I saw it I thought it was awful.
SNL is a sad husk of what it used to be. I'd be more likely to cheer for their demise if it wasn't Kenan Thompson's bread and butter. It's really too bad there isn't a another sketch comedy show that his talents wouldn't be wasted in.
@@TheWebbliest_Official John hit the nail on the head
Lmao you literally stole this joke/comment from the SNL video’s comments, how ironic
It’s okay Joel sometimes we just gotta let the small creators like SNL believe in themselves
Nice one. 🤣
yeah, seriously. MY channel grows more than SNL.
They'll make it some day, or you know, not
@@silverblue73 Hopefully not

If it’s any consolation this is straight proof you’re a better writer than the folks at SNL.
Not a high bar to clear
@@randybugger3006 These days at least, the writing has deteriated so hard on SNL to the point it's depressing if you were a fan of the orignal series.
Anyone could have told him that.

SNL producers: “so… should we hire him now that he’s caught us?” “No, steal this other video as well, it’s funny”
Why hire him, he's already working for them for free 😂
Nah, they threaten to sue him for time traveling to steal their video.
SNL WOULD NEVER STEAL CONTENT!!!
aint stealing .. its a fkn parody .. of something that exists (thats how shit works) xD calling it stealing is bs in that case
@@garushkahn5857so did you study ip law or are you just pulling that out your ass? furthermore, are you basing your morals on current us law? what in the juspositivism are you talking about my guy
What truly gets to me is that all these big media companies don't mind stealing other people's ideas, but absolutely flip their lid if it's ever the other way around.
In a word, money.
Heck, even when they're credited and it's done in fair use, they still flip out
Copyright doesn’t matter to multi million dollar companies until it affects them.
Big media companies have an army of lawyers to go on offense with every claim. "Content Creators" are lucky to have just one lawyer to protect themselves with.
Yup lawsuits out the ass but when they do it its fair game…
It always amazes me how big budget productions like SNL manage to deliver a worse version of the thing they’re copying
They have to water it down for people that watch SNL.
Well, its to be expected. When I copied my friends homework, I purposely made it a little bit worse so it didn't seem I copied. Same thing with simulation theory.
Because its passionless...
SNL is notorious for stealing ideas and being unoriginal. There are so many former members who talk about the toxicity of the creative environment there where they are actively encouraged to steal from each other
They try too hard
Broooo, the Alex shoutout!! He's from my home town, good friend of mine, played some shows together in a band a few times, did some recordings for a different project of his, I love that man. Single handedly one of the funniest and greatest human you will ever meet.
Alex is the best!!! Love Alex!! So cool you have the pleasure of knowing him too!
man,alex
You took a situation that reasonably could have bothered any content creator and handled it with such grace, tact, and humility, even using it as an opportunity to give praise and attention to creators trying to reach a level of success you've already achieved. What a gentleman. I started following your channel because I appreciate the effort you put into your content, and you're genuinely hilarious. Every time you take these moments to monologue about creator struggles, you come across as a very thoughtful and grounded person. I am pleased to support your channel. So, thanks Joel.
I couldn't stop laughing at the point where Joel was essentially just like, "well at the end of the day SNL is small potatoes to me at this point and even if they stole my joke they delivered it in an unfunny way so it's not even like it existing hurts my video either way."
deeestroyed em
Boom roasted
I could barely make it through their video, Joel is way funnier.
Damn, I didn't get that vibe at all but I can dig it. Would've been cool if he had went into it like, "I don't really think SNL stole my joke. They clearly tried but wasn't able to pull it off, but hey, they try their best over there despite the lack of talent so gotta give it up to them. I'm just lucky to be in this position where I am able to put together jokes that people will recognize as comedy, but I don't wanna hate on anyone at SNL since it must be hard running a comedy show without any comedy. But hey, no hate, I'm just really glad to be here and whatever."
@@2bb-2 you've gotta try harder to troll than that, man. At least strawman his actual statement on the matter; you'll get a much better rise out of people if it's plausible that someone could have actually watched the video and formed their wrong opinion from it.
This is so charitable of you, Joel. I would have had no idea SNL still aired if it were not for this video.
What is SNL??
(btw i'm not that dumb ik that its saturday night live)
SNL went woke then broke. Now they must steal content cause they're broke
@@hambino_maybe good on ya!
Oh my god 😂😂
You're a good man! It's just a shame that if the tables were turned, the big corporate entertainment types would have no problem shutting you down.
They couldn't even have him say "mom Dad, i wanna be a journalist" they had to do everything exactly the same
Did... Did Joel just look at a big corporate entity stealing his idea and say, "Well, yeah, coincidences happen I guess. But since this video is probably gonna get a lot of attention, here are a bunch of other people who make cool stuff too"? The level of wholesome this man is is incredible and I love all of it T_T
He totally did. Legendary.
These are my exact thoughts of this man. Keep it up joel
SNL will look into all of those channels I bet! (I'm just joking, not meant to frame this into something negative and yes this was really an awesome way for him to take this and spin it into something useful for smaller channels. Very cool!)
666th like, what do I win?
I would sue, no mercy for big media.
Joel took a video he knew would be viral (the title, the controversy, the content) and turned it into a billboard for creators he appreciates. What a solid dude.
An inspiring and uplifting example of how we should act.
Much yes. I’ve never seen Joel before today & I'm pretty delighted by his vibe.
"Kill them with kindness" comes to mind
Joel is honestly one of my heroes now
@@Elymyntal he's absolutely hilarious and charming you should do a deep dive on his content it's all very fun and funny both live action and cartoons
I like how you describe SNL's delivery as "louder than life"
Successful people usually just let this happen and keep making good stuff. “They stole it? Oh well, on to my next project”. Glad you have that attitude
Just goes to show what an incredibly wholesome guy Joel Haver is. He lets SNL off the hook and on top of that, he sheds some light on smaller channels trying to grow a big audience.
Sharing some of the limelight from SNL maybe kinda sorta taking his bit to improve other creators.
ok

This dude is the kindest guy ever lol. Has his stuff stolen almost straight up, and just brushes it off and uses the topic to spread the love for other awesome creators out there. Good job man. KZhead needs more Joel's out there
It's a shame because while it's admirable, it lets SNL off the hook. No consequences mean they will steal again.
Seriously. This was so Refreshing to see
I love this gut i dont always get his videos but i found his yt channel right at the beggining and i have loved 90% of them literraly to the point my ribs hurt
Yes. You don't subconsciously Borrow somthing 1 to 1
Joel is a national treasure.
Took this incredibly well. Good stuff Joel.
This is an insanely mature response, I really appreciate you using it as an opportunity to uplift other creators. I think you definitely have a right to be rubbed the wrong way, but if you’re comfortable with the situation that’s all that matters.
It feels like the healthiest (mentally) way to deal with it.
Imagine The Act Man responding this calm to something
NO U
So mature that it’s borderline *insane*
Right?!?
This guy is either genuinely the most wholesome creator out there, or a massive genius using this as a way to both prop up smaller creators while making him look infinitely better in the process rather than calling out mainstream media
life is black and white... after all..
Mainstream media SHOULD be called out. Frequently and without fear.
Both
He is 100% wholesome, and also a genius.
Jesus Christ died for our sins, rose from the dead, and gives salvation to everyone who has faith in him. True faith in Jesus will have you bear good fruit and *drastically* change for the better! Those led by the Holy Spirit do not abide in wickedness. *God is ONE manifesting himself as THREE;* the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit! Bless him! *For these three are one.* As I am led by the Holy Spirit, nothing I state is a lie, but the truth of God. Anyone who tells you differently is misinformed or a liar. They do not know God, nor led by him. Anyone who *claims* to be a Christian and is against what I am doing, and where I am doing it; the Holy Spirit does not dwell within them, they lack understanding. They know not God, read his word, and their religion is in vain. Do not hear them, they will mislead you, the lost cannot guide the lost.
I love this video, I really admire how well put and responsible you are , it really and I mean really helps to see someone set such a good example, at least for me and what I'm used to see from KZhead creators. Btw, imagine if SNL reacted to this video, and the reaction was 10 seconds long, and they just go "yeah no we stole it, sorry haha" Wait what if they do this idea, would that be stealing? What do I do in that case? Well I could just watch this video again and remember what a responsible person would do ZINGGGG GOT YOUUU
"I have to recognize that im in a position to not be bothered by it" jesus, very true thing to say. i actually love this, thank you for putting this out there
Incredible humility. Incredible rationality. Absolute 100% respect, my dear sir.
Oh snap it's you
For me It actually solidified the probability of them completely biting it unashamedly
Now this was a crossover I wasn’t expecting
Whoa TDT

He knew this video would go viral so he decided to use a good portion of it plug his friends. Such a nice thing that goes easily overlooked. Thank you for being awesome.

Joel is one of the most wholesome content creators out there.
@Thelema "wholesome" is a word destroyed by redditors. Now anything weird is wholesome.
What a mature, real, and well-thought-out response. I would not have responded the same way, and I envy that about Joel.
Man, kudos to you for taking this incident and making it a gigantic video of positivity ❤
Joel has displayed a new level of KZhead enlightenment: 1. clickbait title 2. but it's true 3. and he's super thoughtful about it and 4. actually it's all just to push underrated creators ❤
I love the progression of this
The numbers are there so TikTok users can understand the comment. Just an explanation if it seemed weird to anyone!
I have never heard of you before, I saw the video and thought it was gonna be someone dunking on SNL (I'm immature like that), but hot damn do I now have the upmost respect for you. Being transparent with your own experience of accidentally using an idea that's been done, giving SNL the benefit of the doubt, and then giving free shout outs to talented content creators, all for the sake of spreading positivity. Class-freaking-act man. I applaud you.
At least you admit you’re immature
He basically gave away the way he does his animation style for free. He's an amazing, wholesome, brilliant, funny dude. I love his animation work, especially, but it's all fantastic
Yes, is immature to dunk on millionaire corporatives. And don't forget it.
@@thebluerodriguez4085 I mean, dunking on anyone over the internet is immature when you think about it, considering all the things I could be doing with my time. Yet here I sit, typing out this comment…… fuck I gotta go outside or something
Maybe learn something from his example and stop being immature.
They definitely stole that shit. One hundred percent. I appreciate you giving them the benefit of the doubt and just moving on from it though. That’s the right way to go about something like this. If they did it again though, gloves come off. Lol
the fact that he used the video not to complain, but to actually recommend other creators... class act 💯
I really like how chill you are about it. I'm sure most people would understand if you were freaking out and angry and wanted to sue. But it takes an extremely confident creator to be so calm and happy that someone stole one of their comedy sketches. Props for being the bigger man.
Kevin, what a great comment. Thanks for sharing.
Sue.... with the money it'd take and the sad possibility of not winning.... not being considered.
As some one who gets ripped off of IP all the time Im glad he has proof, and youtube algorithm picked it up so its a lot of free advertisement. both ways, for allowing some grandpa show no one watches to steal his IP to try and stay relevant.
That’s cool but also sue
Such a bad attitude to have to the big corporations that steal people's creativity and profit much more due to their larger audience
Joel just gave everyone a college education in being the bigger person. So much respect for him!
At his height, even more impressive. I'll see myself out now.
I am going to copy his video. I am sure he would convince himself it is coincidental.
Everyone is now in debt to Joel for $100,000.
It’s not being the bigger person. It’s bending over to a force he couldn’t combat even if he wanted to. Fuck SNL
@@brassattacks2411 Dumb as hell
Your style of comedy is so refreshing. The first video I saw was "It's not working" and I was laughing so much, and I was so surprised that this type of content exists. It's just pure quality. It's intentional and I love it.
Joel Haver is a class act. I'm sure he is just as shocked as everyone else about what seems like a blatant copy of his work. I never thought about how easy it would be for network TV writers to just watch the countless talented creators on KZhead and steal from them thinking no one will notice. I haven't watched SNL in years, their problem is that even if they have a funny premise they ruin it with bland dialogue and unfunny, stilted delivery. Joel's characters talk and interact in such a realistic and relatable way that it makes for comedy gold. Keep up the good work Joel!
SNL could never duplicate the style of humor that you deliver. Its so unique and leaves me laughing yet feeling slightly empty and I don't know why its so addictive.
True, but SNL still needs to cite their source material. The sketches are presented differently, but the plotline is basically identical.
Joel did it better.
SNL's writers are old and writing content for people who still care about cable TV, the kind of people that you have to tell exactly what they're supposed to laugh at. They're crippled by that honestly. Your average viewer under 30 would rather watch higher quality, completely original content from average Joes like them.
Its quite existential, his style of humour lol
It’s like Pringles
Joel's attitude towards art and content creation has consistantly been so admirable and genuine. People like him are the true heart of internet culture.
And thats a FACT!
I wish
Definitely an inspiration and I wish it were moreso this positive and generous but one thing is for sure I just subscribed to some new channels!
Human culture, his reach goes beyond that of the simple interwebs.
Just found you today. After watching some videos that both make me laugh and one that made me tear up and now seeing this… you truly are a kind and talented soul who I hope is successful for years to come. Seems like you truly enjoy it as well which is the most important thing!
Man took it like a chad. Happy for everyone and as long as his stuff is appreciated, he's good
joel is a truly good hearted dude. for real. he could have easily made the video that everyone was expecting trashing SNL, but instead he chose to do the opposite. massive props joel, we see you and we appreciate you being a source of light and decency in an age where both are desperately needed
He probably just knows that it would be a huge fight that he probably couldn't win against SNL and their lawyers. They would deny stealing his idea , and it would just be a huge hassle for him to go through all the BS. If the situation was flipped around though, and they accused him of stealing an idea for a skit, they would sue him into the ground and own his channel and all it's content by now, and then garnish his wages for the rest of his life probably. SNL hasn't been funny in years , so they probably sit around all day looking at youtube for ideas to steal.
He should have since SNL now is just full of unfunny talentless hacks
@@redwards3457 He’s demonstrated kindness and class repeatedly so just dismissing it as knowing he won’t win is kind of disregarding his history and pretty damn cynical of you
came here to say this :D what an approach to the subject, kudo’s Joel! really nicely done :) :)
Fr he flipped a potential accusational call out into a wholesome shout out video. What a guy
I love how instead of getting pissed he was humble and even highlighted other creators. What great dude
seems pretty pissed the way he says he's not going to say a bunch of things he proceeds to say he is definitely not saying
@@mattmaas5790 hes addressing the accusations made by his community against SNL. the stuff that hes definitely not saying hes repeating from his community. Like, he kind of has to adress it. And i think he adressed it in a very mature and reasonable way
@@mattmaas5790 I’d be pissed if i was him lol what is your point?
Yup, my thoughts exactly 😎 What a true professional gentleman!
Sorry, but those unfunny fucks at SNL should not be allowed to get away with this.
You are so gracious, it's incredible the way you handled this situation
The best example I've seen on how humility brings charisma and respect.
This is incredibly gracious, and a great response to the situation. Hopefully SNL acknowledges this as well, but wouldn't expect it.
They are probably more likely to acknowledge it via a successful TOS takedown of this video.
Not a fan of SNL, but if I were in their shoes I would never acknowledge it unless it were literally undeniable. As soon as they acknowledge it they're opening themselves up to lawsuits. I wouldn't be surprised if a writer half-watched his video and remembered the concept, but not that it came from a video. Personally I think that's probably what happened since SNL has more than enough of a talent pool to write their own material. Major props to Joel for giving them the benefit of the doubt.
@@ExtremeSquared Sad, but true!
The fact that you admit to being in a position where it doesn't bother you shows how much better of a content creator you are!
Very respectable

A well balanced and professional way to view this. I both feel for ya and appreciate someone behaving like a normal adult these days. Best to you and your channel!
It's not exactly a secret that the SNL writer's room is a den of thieves. They steal from each other all the time, this won't be the first or last thing they steal from actually talented creators outside of their own bubble.
How can you tell they steal from each other?
Exactly, it has especially been worse the past 10 years or so
they've stolen a handful of bits from Cumtown in recent years not only stealing the premise but literally repeating the same lines verbatim in some cases woke sopranos was the big one they ripped
@@diamondnova7598 there are a lot of interviews with ex writers and cast members. Apparently the whole job is incredibly cutthroat and full of backstabbing since everyone wants to get their skits produced. It's not the fun collaborative project they make it seem, it's more like a constant fight for the spotlight.
Well that's a bold accusation with zero demonstration.
As much as I respect you basically letting SNL off the hook, you really should hold them more accountable. Corporations tend to steal ideas like this all the time and give no credit, and it’s practically criminal.
As much as I hate these things happening, it’s unfortunately not possible for many small creators to sue and confront corporation about these things. Many big corporations have large legal teams, and they will find every excuse to not take accountability. Even if they directly ripped off a piece of art, a script, or design.
He promoted channels that are funnier than SNL, so in the long run he is hitting SNL in the wallet if only a little bit. Otherwise he has to pay out of pocket for lawyers, take a bunch of his own time, and potentially lose, which would encourage SNL to steal even more ideas without penalty. This video may not be a big hit, but its a guaranteed hit at no cost to himself, in fact his response will probably earn him more money directly with views, and also earning many more subscribers in the long run, which could end up being more valuable than what he may have won in court.
Most likely not much he could do

You're a class act, Joel. Not everyone has the self awareness to realize that as lame as this sort of thing is it doesn't steal from how well you've been doing, and even less people would pivot that to point to others who create as emphatically as you or the SNL cast does even if it doesn't get such high views. That said I'll be sure to do more than pat your back. I'll do as you suggest to support the community by watching a film noire about doodoo pants.

i kinda thought joel did that explanation of how he animates, because he wanted people to use it themselves. he should feel good about the fact that others are copying his style. he literally created a whole new genre of animation. you could call it "Joel Haver Style"

i was tslking about Joel's video where he explained how he animates. i thought he did that so people could see how he does it and imitate it. i watched this entire video in its entirety and i think Joel made the right decision here to react the way he did to the snl sketch. the stole his "concept", but they wrote all new dialogue that was different from Joel's video and the inside of the house looks totally different and the dance the bears did at the end of the snl sketch was more "stolen" from the tv commercials than from Joel. the except for the concept of the one bear wanting to dance instead of college and the dad's disapproval, the SNL sketch bore more resemblance to the tv commercials than joels video. and in the snl sketh, the dad eventually relented and gave his approval, which didn't happen in joel's video
@@Femaiden I don’t believe the video would be made if Joel didn’t make his so at the end of the day someone took his idea without even giving him credit in the description
You guys are way talented. You invented your own variant of comic sketches.
I am 100% certain that SNL stole your skit. Those people are drowning hacks.
In an SNL Drama/Theft video - you go out of your way to not just brush it off, but you plug a bunch of great channels and share a bunch of new stuff to us. You're on a whole other level of being a great dude. You're amazing.
I was thinking about that: woah, that guy communicates from a really nice level of being
It's okay, I will hate SNL a little bit more to make up for it.
Acknowledging that you’re in a privileged enough position to not be bothered by this is very big of you. And taking this clickbait- worthy opportunity to shout out smaller creators is freaking God-tier behavior. You are not only the funniest person on KZhead right now but also one of the kindest.
But he's clearly very bothered lol
Privileged? How so?
@@jacobmecrob5185 Joel says he's privileged to be extremely successful so he doesn't have to worry about getting fair credit from his thief
@@jacobmecrob5185 he doesn't need the money.
@@jacobmecrob5185 Having such a huge audience and getting 200k views or more for each video. Not that this isn't something he worked for and achieved thanks to a great and unique style in terms of humor and cinematography. But getting big on KZhead is also partially up to the algorithms, and that's something other aspiring artists don't have despite trying as hard.
3:44 Holy sh*t. My man. I’ve been collecting on my own but you just shared all these goods.
Thank you for these recommendations. I think SNL should hire you to do a special episode.
What a stand up dude. Used half the video just to promote some other channels and friends whose stuff he likes. I didn’t even know who you were before this popped up somehow but I’m subbed now. Always appreciate someone spreading positivity when it’s not necessarily the first thing that most people would think to do.
Yeah, he's a reservoir of ideas. I could use reservoir of ideas.
I Second the motion! Never heard of this person, but the humility and seemingly genuine attitude is so refreshing and wholesome. Subbing for this reason, whether I end up liking the content or not. If more creators on these platforms had this mentality and attitude, the world would be a better place.
@@janaetrojan4469 Joel's legit one of the funniest I've seen on YT. He does awkward, surreal shit absolutely spot on.
I don't know, I think he's less of a stand up comedy guy and more of a multimedia skit guy. /j
Lol when saving face to not get called out for stealing content himself.... Then changing the subject to pad out the video length for the algo for the views generated by mentioning SNL. Lol
Would genuinely love to see a Venn diagram of people criticizing SNL for making a sketch similar to Joel’s (I have seen similar bear jokes/bits prior to Joel’s) and people saying what internet historian did was fine/making ad hominem attacks on people who pointed it out etc
This is a ridiculously sane and mature take.
I frickin' love you. You've taken a situation where many lesser individuals would have undoubtedly reacted either aggressively or negatively, and you've turned it into a positive like no one else could. You took 'being the bigger man' to a whole new level, promoting some excellent other channels. If more people were like you, the world would be a much better place.
Seriously, this is why we love Joel
I thought of this joke well before this "Joel" skid did. This isn't something that's super original. Just some random person who decided to film it. In fact, we should be ashamed of this Nobody for being so reductive. And don't try to argue or disagree with me. Because you yourself said to not be aggressive or negative. I'd hate to call you a hypocrite
I dunno, I think he should hold them to task (if he can) its a matter of principle, they have not payed him, just stolen his Idea repackaged they will make Millions of ad revenue from that, and if he does not challenge it, he runs the risk of them challenging him and trying to pretend they own the IP. This kind of stuff happens all the time. Also not contesting this in a certain amount of time actually says legally "i dont own this", thats part of copyright law, you have to make efforts to enforce it to take it too court and win, or not lose if they try to screw him later down the line. Because equally if they did that he could legally end up being ruled as not the owner of the IP. I agree his attitude is really good from an emotional and human POV, but from a legal POV he should look into it for his and the sake of others like him, if possible
@@Instanence LOL...sad troll.
What a top bloke
Joel takes the imitation = flattery route, and then promotes other folks. I appreciate the way you interact with the world, and the way you look at things from different perspectives. Thank you for being encouraging, inspirational, and kind. You're awesome!
it's important for him to take that road because both of their videos basically copy the premise of high school musical
Too many words I’m not reading that
@@inkwell6131 The process you went through to write that comment absolutely took more time than reading the original comment.
I thought it would end up being some kind of drama video but you just took the best way out of this, well done, you deserve your success (unlike whoever at SNL that did this)
This is such a classy response
Joel is definitely up there when it comes to nicest KZheadrs. He could've turned this into REAL drama, and made a bunch of money through revenue. Instead he acknowledged it, gave his feelings and used the people who came to this video expecting drama to holster up his friends. Genius level generosity.
Oh, and made a bunch of money through revenue.
@@terraversalvoid5391 He could've made allot more if he dragged it out
@@terraversalvoid5391 if he had caved in to greed and drama, he would be swimming in rivers of cash, but, he would basically trade his soul for that
@@terraversalvoid5391yes, that is the nature of KZhead.
would you rather no videos?@@terraversalvoid5391
How you turned this into a sweet genuine gesture to smaller channels is awesome. I think your whole attitude is great, you're just accepting it and I think a lot of artists would have trouble doing that. Proud of you
Ye it's super rare these days. Infact I'm not sure I have EVER seen any creator react with such humility but at the same time confidence to just carry without any bluster.
Nice as it is, I think SNL still should be doing something like this for Joel. Or at least recognize that 90+% of their sketch was plagiarized and give credit where it's due. Because let's face it, if Joel weren't so nice, and he wanted to sue, I'm pretty sure he'd win. SNL needs to acknowledge Joel and apologize or at least recognize his work publicly, regardless of whether they intentionally stole it or not.
this is the most wholesome reacting to drama ive ever seen.
This is probably the classiest video I've ever watched. And all your recommendations seem really cool, so I'm checking them out now. Thanks for being an example of the kind of person I want to be.
shows how dope Joel is. he knew this videos title would bring a lot of people in and used most of the video to shout out other channels. truly a stand up guy
I'm pretty sure he's more of a skit guy, occasionally animation too
@@HakureiReimuOfficial I'm very aware lol been subbed for maybe a year now, I'm just pointing out how I like his approach and delivery on this topic
@@UnsignedHypeHOU I see you're not much of a getting the joke guy
im pretty sure he was sitting throughout the video though
@@2bb-2 imagine being this wrong
This is the healthiest and most empathetic response to something like this. Good for you, Joel. This humble attitude will open many, many doors for you.
Wtf are these comments dude. You his psychologist or something?
I love your attitude, perspective and kindness to other creators. I doubt you need to hear this from me but you're a content-making machine. That's bigger than any one idea and nobody can steal that from you. Not to mention recommending so much great content for us! Thanks, this video is terrific.
Same kind of thing happened to my DM. We've been playing the same campaign for several years, and from time to time, NPC and place names inevitability pop up in other media. It became a running joke that our DM was unconsciously predicting the future, etc. So I pranked him. I write our sessions down in a log, like a story book. I had this printed into a book with a custom cover, then hid it in a bookshelf at our next cabin trip and arranged for him to stumble across it. I wish I'd recorded his series of reactions as he first found a book with his custom campaign as the title, then a far too familiar cover, before finally realizing he was being pranked.
Your heart is so huge, Joel. Keep being the kind soul you are.
helo
As a skit creator I've experienced SNL "rip off" as well. Happened to me a couple of years ago. I had the same attitude as you.
hm i wonder why snl keeps stealing from creators when creators let them get away with it 🤔 just cant figure it out
@@crown06_ whoever has the most money wins
@@crown06_ you seriously took a jab on the creators here? At least Joel is big enough to be somewhat noticeable in the online platform, but you really think smaller creators have a say in this matter?
@@crown06_ it's almost like a large company can afford better liars - oops, sorry, I meant defense lawyers

I'm actually so glad SNL stole your video because it meant that you introduced me to Wizards with Guns. They are so underappreciated and consistently funny with amazing production values
This dude is so classy. Gave away a new animation technique so others could create and now turns what could have been a good dig at the mainstream into a shout out for the little guys. Joel you are nothing short of inspirational, keep it up you diamond.
Joel is the pure definition of "Kill your enemies with kindness". Love you man, you deserve every bit of the success you currently have and much more!
The fact I got a Charmin ad before the video is just icing on the cake lol
Kuddos to you, Glad there are creators that don't use situations like this to create drama and get noticed. Subscribed!
I can't believe Joel just forgave these guys to death. That's so brutal.
Dude he totally got paid out of court…. Brutal
@@kingsoloman42 you think so?? I seriously doubt it
Joel stands to lose a lot trying to tango with the machine, aside from probably still just being a great guy. But nothing is stopping us 😈
