joel is so good at weaving fantastical universes, like this one where bringing your issues to HR is effective
Not so different from ours, seeing as HR is the most powerful weapon inside of a corporation. So much as fart at the wrong time and your under investigation.
In fact even if most of the organization you work for isn’t evil, HR probably is.
@@Wr41thgu4rdHis point was that HR is used as a tool to screw over employees. HR is a tool to protect management. A world where HR would protect employees from reprisal from management is a bigger fantasy than FTL travel.
@@Wr41thgu4rd"seeing as HR is the most powerful weapon inside of a corporation." HR *IS* a weapon, but it's important to understand who's wielding it. Management is. If you complain to HR, generally one of 3 things is going to happen. A. They put together a justification and then fire you. B. They take the minimum action needed to insulate management from any liability. C. They ignore you completely.
In most modern corporations their are simultaneously the most powerful department AND the most incompetent depsrtment. Go figure...
See the problem is our evil organizations always have such an evil aesthetic. If he walked in to a space ship full of pastel colors and chill vibes we might've had him.
Wasn't there that star wars scene where obi wan is inspecting the clone army and it's all light and far happier?
That’s why Star Trek was chill. Next Gen Enterprise looks like a modern cruise ship.
@@FHBStudio I believe that was also while the clones were still presumably under their control and alliance
@@anthonyremaly7834We need a show about an evil Picard flying around destroying strange new worlds immediately!
The stereotypical, dark and brooding Evil Empire just isn't as menacing as the clam, soothing Evil Empire.
If you're expecting HR to be less evil, you're going to be disappointed.
This is fantasy. Benevolent HR is like tragic werewolves. Don't criticize people's fetishes and fandoms.
Don't lump my HR people with yours. My HR people have chill vibes energy.
@@okamisamakunHave you got an example of your HR people doing something good for an employee, when the company did something bad?
It's adult daycare, what would you expect anyway.
@@okamisamakunhr is about protecting the assets of the company.
He was unstoppable because nobody was able to stop him from leaving.
"Evil will always triumph, because good is dumb." -Lord Dark Helmet
Good thing he was mistaken... right? Right?
Ah, a space balls reference a rare but welcome occurrence
"You'll never get away with this, Black Helmet Man! You are bad! You are bad and we are good! Your badness will be the end of you, and our goodness will be our triumph! Bad is bad - good is good! Bad-bad-good-bad! Good-good-bad-good, bad! Good." - Princess Bunhead
What's the matter Colonel Sanders? Chicken?
@@LocalSlasheraww, you're a good guy
the best way to defeat evilness is to not be evil
Wise words Trent
Yep! And to not fear
dang I've tryying to be evilerer
What is better, to be born good, or to overcome your evil nature through great effort?
Well.... I've always wanted to learn cello.
Hearing Palps tell his Royal Guard not to speak to HR and them replying "f*ck you I will" is so hilarious to me.
The emperor is future Michael Scott, and he decided to put Toby in infinite paperwork hell.
This is *clearly* not Palpatine, as that would be infringing on copyrighted material! Joel said it's Ovaltine.
Ovaltine?Why does he live in a death pyramid and not a death egg?
It was 😂
@@ChildrenoftheMeat Ask Joel lol Also Death Egg already belongs to Dr. Eggman!
“Fuck you I will” that line was delivered so perfectly lmao
His posture alone is evil as hell
It’s the chair! It has no lumbar support!
@@Joel-Haverit's against OHS regulations!😮😅😂
That's why he is so evil! His back is in constant pain
This is a wake up call for me
I knew that by taking one look at the death octahedron that Emperor Palpation was up to no good.
you think a building with death in the name is evil? damn they really need to bring this up to marketing
@@litapd311They assumed its a death octahedron all because of the orb of a similar design being named the death star but in reality this vessel is known as the SunshineLollipop DoublePyramid, it was just waiting on a paint delivery to recieve its beautiful ice blue and cotton candy pink colour theme, honest.
He's the kind of evil that goes to Jaffree Epp Sateen's pleasure planet to *literally* slay younglings, not figuratively.
It's actually De'ath Octahedron, named after the designer, Steve De'ath. It's annoying how often people get that wrong. Granted, Steve is evil.
@@BoredInNW6 He never used to be evil until one day Mike Tyson kicked him right in De'ath.
The voice acting is awesome.
Alex crushed it as Chancellor Ovaltine
@@Joel-Haverpffft Ovaltine 😆
@@Joel-Haver ....A crummy commercial??
Haha “DO NOT SPEAK TO HR” probably one of my favorites
"Do not talk to HR!" "Fuck you, I will!"Ahahahahahaha! Thank you, Joel!
Bro the head shake & face toward the guard as he asks if he's evil has got me dying xD Also: "DO NOT... SPEAK.... TO AYCH AHHR"
"fu.uck youu i wiill !"
Aych Ahhr sounds like his main henchman or general or some shit.
“fuk u i will”
"FUCK YOU, I WILL!"
Now a lady with a tight hairdo and a clip board is going to show up.
This character is significantly more emotionally mature than Anikin Skywalker.
To be fair it was not like Anakin was in a position to refuse Palpatine. There was no way for Anakin to be certain the visions would be caused by his hand, unlike the previous visions of his mother that were a result of his inactivity. The only people who could help him only told him "Let go", Palpatine was the only option he had left, an option that at least listened to Anakin, one that he knew almost as long as the Jedi.
@@pepperedash4424 that doesn't explain all the child murder though. Any solution that requires the murder of tens of children should be looked at with suspicion. This character would know that.
@@JohnFrumFromAmerica That does, in fact, explain the child murder. When Anakin accepted Palpatine, he chose the path of the dark side. Yoda had this to say about choosing the dark side; "Once you start down the dark path, forever it will dominate your destiny, consume you it will". With Anakin turning to Palpatine, he inadvertently allowed the dark side to take hold of the decisions and outcome of his life all for the worse.
@@pepperedash4424 that just lazy writing excuse to not have to justify characters behavior and have a catch all after the face magic explain all character motivation. Everyone who chooses dark always does the worst possible thing and everyone who chooses light does good things. It's very simplistic view of human motivation and actions.
@@JohnFrumFromAmerica Not at all. Anakin's decision to accept Palpatine's advances is the cause of the dark side taking hold over Anakin's life. The prequels constantly demonstrate those who choose the light, the Jedi, have the dark side affect decision-making by "clouding their vision." Justification and explanation are two entirely different words with separate meanings.
Wait does the *Royal Guard* still have *Life Insurance* if he gets killed by their boss?
"It's treason then..." Which disqualifies you from all benefits. So no.
@@L.PonderaThats terrible, even if that guard survives his execution, he'll be missing out on that sweet dental plan and the 401k 😔
@@theussmiragethis is evil
Don't worry, HR got his back
He will be back next week and it will be all up to the Emperor not to make it uncomfortable or hostile. Otherwise he will be stuck watching training vids. @@tluangpuiatluangpui1194
Not gonna lie, diamond shaped death star looks sick. The aesthetic’s just kick ass.
Star Forge from Knights of the Old Republic 🤓
yeah but evil as hell bro
not just the aesthetics, bro
There's theory that things in shape of triangle / combination of triangles tend look scary, because they remind us of big animal teeth So yes, it might be it deliberately looks evil and emperor f*cked up
Ramiel
Impressive, man. Most people just don't pick up on the vibes of places like that, man. That's guy's really tuned in to the energy and spirit of people and places like only a "think first- talk later" introvert could ever be, man.
He's not an introvert at all
Man. This Evil Emperor sure could learn a thing or two from another, more chill Emperor. I wonder if Joel would know where to find one.
good reference ( •ᴗ
He let people hold. Pretty chill
Joel only drops BANGERS

FACTS
@@Joel-Haver Joel, stop dropping all the Irish Bangers on the ground. I'm trying to eat them but I can't if they're on the ground.
In Britain, Bangers is a nickname for sausages. So dropping bangers in the UK could be seen as quite unfortunate
Finally, a protagonist with ethics rather than one the universe bends around to give the semblance of them!
You're not making any sense, have you... have you never actually seen a film?
@@cenciende9401 The bird is referring to the sequel trilogy.
@@cenciende9401 Protagonists in webnovels/fanfiction/formulaic softcover books... applies to them.
@@cenciende9401 what do you call it when a super hero punches a purse thief thru a window? and that act in the movie is portrayed as the good outcome
@@gabbonoo Personally I wrote my fanfic protagonist to be a dark hero/villain, since pure heroes are almost never believable. I don't think people can call Mary Sue if your character is blatantly unlikable in some ways, even if they're overpowered.

The guard telling the emperor fuck you got me buckled.
the voice too
Its always about "Oh well harness your potential, you will be so great" What if I dont want to be, what if I want to sit on my ass and eat pizza flavored goldfish!?
It's always a good day for Joel Haver animations. Sweet work as always.
See, Anakin just had to be like "Yo this is evil af bro im out!" The universe wouldve been saved
"From my point of view, the Jedi are evil af, bro !"
@@Darkprosper "Yo homie, you ever hear bout Darth Plaegis the Wise? No cap, the Jedi won't tell you this shit bro!"
Joel, you're a national treasure.
Shhh. Nic Cage could be lurking in these comments!
Fact
Space wizards just think they can walk into your house and insult your feng shui
I think its funny that in some of the Star Wars Novels I've read most of the high level officers are fully aware how annoyingly evil Palpatine is.
It's because when you consider how large and seemingly, professional run the Empire is, the Saturday Morning Cartoon villainy of Palpatine, the Empire stops making any sense. The EU writers sprinkled some self aware characters near Palpatine to sort of cover that up.
@@Duamerthrax It makes plenty of sense. There are literally dozens of bureaucracy levels, entire organizations, between Palpatine and the poor schmuck flipping the switches at a Star Destroyer's console. The average Imperial citizen barely knows who the Emperor even is, just that there is one. And yeah man, those self-aware Imperials always had my sympathy. Just company men grinding away towards a pension.
I always found it funny that Palpatine would be pretty close to getting someone to give in to the dark side, and then when they're just about to cross the point of no return, he says something to the effect of, "Yes! Give in to your hate! Strike down my apprentice Vader, who is your own flesh and blood! That is exactly what I want you to do - you going ahead with what you are about to do will fulfill my evil agenda perfectly! Please continue!" Then, upon hearing this, the hero has second thoughts and ends up deciding to go with restraint after all. Go figure. The big one is with Luke at the end of Return of the Jedi, but pretty sure he does the same thing at least a couple other times in the prequels & sequels, too.
The only time is with Luke.
@@CT-sp7uq He does the same thing with Rey in Rise of Skywalker. She goes to Palpatine fully intending to kill him. He then explains to her that her that he planned everything and that him being killed by her is exactly what he needs to rise to power again. Then she decides not to kill him after all because it's what he wants. If he just kept his mouth shut, she would have done exactly what he wanted her to.
Haha the sequels are on an entirely different level of garbage. You right. Don’t rope the prequels in though
That’s because Palps himself has no restraint.
@@CT-sp7uq Only the original three really count. 🙃
This…this is a masterpiece. I love these animations!
If the Death Star had an HR department, I'm sure their efforts would be as accurate as the stormtroopers aim
.. so pretty much standard HR then ?
🙏 This is ten times better than whatever Disney has ever been doing with the franchise
I’m really digging this “Lord of the Rings in Space” thing.
"that's just the aesthetics".. I am goin to use this one
I always loved that scene from Space Battles where Ron Moddo faces the Imperator aboard the Kill Moon.
Everybody asks “how did Palpatine return” and not “is Palpatine even evil” 😔
An answer so obvious the question doesn't need to be asked or even though of?
@@cenciende9401 Ever heard of a joke before?
A what?
@@cenciende9401 I mean, if you fuck with legends canon, it's more of a shade of grey than you'd think. All that navy and an enormous artificial moon with a laser that can blow up planets just to suppress a handful of rebels? Nah, mans was preparing to defend the universe from the Yuuzhan Vong invasion
God bless you Joel Haver. These nuggets of gold never get old! 💞
Dude, that video went insaneo style. Great work.
I love that you never know where your sketchers will go before clicking! This was genius, loved it!
me when I'm star wars
To be fair, a truly evil emperor would've killed him when he tried to leave
Man I love your animations so much
Watched your video on 'becoming an animator' and have new appreciation for you making this type of video. Great backgrounds, thanks Joel!
absolutely nailed the voice for Ron Mono, Joel 😂
All jokes aside, dude was noticeably evil af, bruh.
Man! Joel gets me!! I love you broham!! Always gets a laugh outta me,wonderfull work.I hope the best for you in every aspect of your life. Keep on keeping on brother
Brilliant as always 👌
Man, Joel's video quality has really gone up ever since he unlocked his potential and became unstoppable.
Lmao this was so good! That Palpatine impression was great
These animations always make my day! 😊
Good for that guy tbh, lightning dodged
I know they seem evil, but their 401k match and paternity leave policy go crazy. Plus, if you survive 5 years without getting Force choked, you get a 5 week sabbatical to Naboo
Those career development opportunities can't be passed up, bro.
The vibe around here is evil as hell. 😂
thanks man! so good!
Brilliant! Sensational! Bravo!
Do you ever have that moment where you enter the spooky lair of someone that has been telling you all about how the two of you can be unstoppable if you united, but the mood crystals that you embedded into your skin suddenly turn red and the vibe feels off and you can't help but wonder if you even being there is a terrible mistake?
wow this is so short sighted of him, a pale shriveled scarred man is not *necessarily* evil poor dark lord that just wanted to do counseling
thanks for this it cheered me up when i was down
This is by far one of my favorite channels to watch on youtube. Please keep making these! Lol
The sequel trilogy we deserved.
I don't blame him, they really do wear cult clothing around sith lords. It really screams "evil". Not to mention the odd darkness and blood red clothing. Wonder why the sith can't be colorful with red sabers, i'm certain there are far better colors to compliment it.
Jumpers and hoodies are cult clothing? Hard disagree. You’re right about the colors, though.
“Fuck you I will” Love it
Yeeeees, the animations / space themes are back. Love these.
Bro is absolutely evil I'm out bro
Best content! Cheers
One of the funniest so far xD So grateful for all of this funny content over time, love ya', Joel!
That quiet but defiant “fuck you I will” ended me, perfect delivery
0:23 'togethaaa, we will devour... the veryyy goddddssss!' same vibe haha
This is great!!!
I can't get enough. Your videos are hilarious. I wish there were more.
Now I'm deathly curious as to what their HR department is like for even _him_ to fear them.
These are always so incredibly entertaining.
Amazing. I love it.
I love the voice acting choice for Ron Mardo. He’s such a bro.
Awesome
The "Its about bettering yourself" had me in stitches brother. Good stuff.
Another great video!
That man has some serious "I know what I have to do, but I don't wanna do it" attitude
When the Job tries to sell itself too hard. Applicant: "So why is the position available?"
Orchestration is top notch!
I miss these beautiful skits so much, I love the live action too but there’s just something special about the way these animated characters interact with each other and speak amongst themselves. Joel’s talented enough to do whatever he wants but imo this is his niche.
Great music, Kevin!
Oh man this got me so good thank you😂
Man thanks so much for showing me Ebsynth I love making these style of videos now
This video is hilarious! I love the dark humor and the twist at the end.
"We indict you in the name of HR" "I AM HR!"
Love it, Joel!
0:40 best question and explaination EVER
Im so invested in this story
Whenever I try to remember Jacob Geller, I somehow always recall "Joel Haver" Though I don't regret
Joel's voice talent is underrated!
What an evil vibe this video has
More like this please! I know they are a lot of work, but love the animations.
This went off the deep end fast. A great commentary on living in a society.
Reminder for watchers that the HR Department of companies is there to protect the company, NOT you. Speak to your union and lawyer.
holy cow the music😍
you animation saves lives
So fucking good. With the shape of the death Star there I thought you were gonna dive into Star Wars deep lore and reference the Tho-Yor but I got my entertainment value all the same. Subbed.
Triangles… known for their evil nature
