The last time I introduced a friend he murdered my deformed son and my beloved rat
Sorry for your loss. You must really miss your rat

when you introduce two friends and immediately become the third wheel
someone should make a video about that!
@@abandonment Ikr, it's almost as if I've already seen it too
Lyra's just stringing people along
I was one of the two friends, and now I feel bad for making someone a third wheel.

When you introduce your girlfriend and all your friends are suddenly comedians
Ooooof this is too sad….
That just means that none of them were actually your friends.
Bro's before hoes.
I just like to make people laugh I dont wanna steal ur girl
yeah its so annoying lmaoooo stop it bros or im gonna dump her for your funny ass
Imagine being this insecure lmao.
Biggest anxiety: You're none of your friends' best friend
You can't be none of your friend's best friend if you don't have friends
True
When u notice you are non of your friends friend
"Best friend" is a bit of an odd concept for me. I have 3 friends, and my BF is whichever one currently ignores me the least. But that's okay, they're all kinda boring tbh. My real best friends are online.
@@sixstringedthing I am confused AF... in my country "Friend" by default and description is at level of britsh "Best Friend" and british "Friend" is just named something like Associate/Accomplice/Collegue. I always cringed hearing people that they have many "Friends" but this explains a lot~
oh man this triggered my fight or flight response
It's surprises me to see how many people leave a like but never reply on this channel. It's strange...

The sadness in Joel's eyes at the end triggers an aggressive protective instinct in me that I can't quite put into words
He has this naturally sad/Hurt facial expression, IDK if its from experience or just his features but it really helps to pull off his awkward introverted acting.
try
Dropping from the best friend to the third wheeler friend is the worst mental pain anyone can experience
Then you just never speak to them again, simple, its happened with me a lot, I just never speak to them again and it seems to work
You wouldn't thirdwheel with a guy and girlfriend would you?
Honestly man 😭 It’s too true
These "just kidding" guys are never actually kidding
ikr
Truer words have not been said.
At least they're upfront with their dickage so they don't waste too much of your time trying to be friends with them
There is a command for that called delete all friends.
Call them a sexual predator and then say you're just kidding.
Totally fine.
"...also his family problems" "yeah maybe that's something you and i could meet up and discuss seperately"
His eyes went full black on that one, not even a reflection on them.
Its one thing to talk behind someones back to talk about them in front of them is just lmao
That's my name

I'll be your friend
@@kittykitties4220 I'm always happy to make a new friend.
Throwback to the time I invited my two bestfriends, that didn’t really like each other, on a small trip for my 18th birthday, and I payed for everything. They proceded to bond over a newfound love for mocking me and making me feel the shittiest I’ve ever felt.
Ahh, good times.
I hope you were strong enough to brush it off. ❤
Bro but tbh friends who mean we'll mocking you isn't taht bad.
That’s horrible. I’m sorry they did that to you and on your birthday trip!? I don’t know what goes through peoples heads.
sounds like you deserved it
@@gsiya4023 true but instead of all bantering and mocking each other, its two guys teaming up, on the birthday trip of the guy they're mocking, sounds kinda shit. But tbf a lot of being friends can just be piss-takes and sarchasm
A nice sweater and a pronounced mustache doesn't make you a predator. Not technically anyway
sounds like something a predator would say...
@@abandonment 😂
Not everyone with a nice sweater and pronounced mustache is a predator, but all predators do have nice sweaters and pronounced mustaches.
@@OukiLips haha, so true
Sounds sus
Little did they know, the whole operation was run by Tony Lazuto

When you ask your friends what they want to do on the weekend and they reply they are busy hanging out with their friends.
Kinda reminds me of when I introduced my best friend to my crush. They started dating a few weeks later.
Ooohhh that's bad, r.i.p. anon
Well, atleast they're happy together, hopefully.
@@Apotheosister They broke up eventually and she moved away.
@@Lark88
I hope y'all are happy atleast.
That’s rough, I understand that. That’s happened to me at least 4 times. I stopped introducing my best friend to crushes. After that last time, he saw a picture of a girl I was interested in & made a comment about her...I told him to fuck off & chase after someone else since it’s easy for him. He actually respected my straightforwardness & she & I eventually got engaged.
The concept here is very funny, but I think it's the little touches that make it extra great, like Thomas' goofy run-walk to go get the door.
The wide angle close up at the end is top notch too
@@SirFrancisBaconn Yeah, I was smiling the whole way through, but that close up at the end is what kicked me into actual laughter.
There have been countless sketch troops on YT since the dawn of the platform but the subtle attention to detail is 100% what makes this channel.
0:37
How did I not notice that on the first watch haha
I empathize when he opens his mouth to talk but can’t get a word in.
Reminds me of when there was a new student at school and took the last seat right beside me. I had only one friend in school and introduced them to each other during the break. They got along very well and I realized how I got pushed more and more into the background. They only had great conversations with one another and I could hardly say a word without being interrupted. One day I just walked away while they were talking and NONE of them realized. After that I had no real friend in school until the end of it. It sucked and I am very careful around new people now. I still liked both of them, but they were just on another level.
Damn, I’m sorry
You gotta be more proactive. You deserve to be listened to.
That’s shitty. 😢
they were probably gay, i mean what 2 guys wouldn't want another friend for a friend group
@@longboy7 Two guys who have to be gay to want to spend time together? Even two gay guys who want to spend time together could be platonic dude
Joel was cursed by a wizard and is forced to do that awkward “someone’s at the door” run/shuffle everywhere he goes
thanks, i was wondering. same thing happened to my cousin, but everybody just assumed he was weird.
i believed him though.
Its true guys i was the wizard
It's true I was the wizard's staff!
Everytime someone shows up at my house I'm like a fucking dog that missed their owner; I just bolt to the door a feel happiness like no other.
@@emerson-biggons7078 You are like the total opposite of me. When someone, or anyone knocks, I hide and get quiet. My heart starts pounding and I hesitate opening the door. Which is funny, cause I don't remember experiencing any trauma that would make me react that way lmao.
The guy playing Trevor is gonna win an acting award someday. Actually, he just did. He won an acting award that I just made up just now.
Hey, aren't all awards just things that people made up in the end?
Give it to him
You mean Thomas?
@@nitsuanomrah6997 No, I do not mean Thomas.
@@todo9633 it’s a symbol of recognition
I have no idea why but this house has such "friend's house" vibes and I want to be there
2:05 Joel's "trying to laugh it off" face to the immediate traumatized face is hilarious haha
The way your framed your face at the end is absolutely heartbreaking.
Great use of the wide angle lens to evoke how his friends have become distorted versions of the homies they used to be
💔
Crabsolutely. It's awesome that Joel actually pulled off the single tear. That's like some cliché good acting shit right there.
Very reminiscent of the It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia episode 'Mac Bangs Dennis' Mom' ending, where Charlie sheds a tear at the end as his Machiavellian plan unravels unfavourably.

Lol something like that actually happened to me. A friend of mine and I bought a drink at the supermarket, where I met my best friend (and only friend I had in my class this time). So I wanted them to get each other to know while we drank our drinks. They understood each other so well that I was just sitting next to them listening to their conversation. Then we wanted to go and I needed to go to the bathroom ,, so they said that they would wait. When I came back, they were gone and I didnt see both of them for the rest of the day. The one I was originally hanging out with even forgot about our online game session this day. Thats pretty much how I lost contact with two of my best friends I had at the time.
Aw man that's evil! I mean getting along well is just sad, but they made the conscious decision to just leave you there. Like I can't wrap my head around that. I hope you've got much better friends going on now and are doing well. Hopefully ya don't let that cruel experience haunt you
@@Emu19 thanks. Yeah, I already found a really good group of friends. I knew one of them since I was in elementary school, so we know each other pretty well.
That's rough. I want to have so much hope for humanity and then people do stuff like this that completely lacks humanity. It's heartbreaking really. Glad you've found a good group now ☺
@@easobento2735 glad to hear this man, some stories i read above were just depressing as all hell, really glad you found another group. idk if ur still friends with them but either way glad you found other ppl after.

"Something's ringing?"
"Yeah, I-"
"It sounded kinda like BING BONG BING BONG! BING BONG BING BONG!"
That "Just kidding dude" is somehow more triggering
If you have to say I'm kidding all the time, you're not funny and if you think you have accidentally been too harsh you either self depricate or countinue to spin the joke in absurdum so that people get you're not serious.

Because it undermined and dismissed his feelings, and ended the convo thread. Now he would be "bringing things up" and "unable to take a joke"
The acting by the uncomfortable/awkward guy is so good that I feel like I'm watching myself.
this is the best way to word it!
its crazy because its his channel
that’s joel man, cmon
You mean the sexual predator?
It's Joel
Bro I CANNOT stand introducing two different friends from separate friend "groups" to each other. Gives me massive anxiety, because in all my friend groups I ALWAYS feel like the 3rd, 5th, or 7th. Which isn't really my friends fault, because my friends are actually good friends, and don't try to make me feel unincluded or anything and we all get along great. I just went through so many friend groups before 8th grade, and in each one I was 100 PERCENT of the time, the odd one out. I literally always was the 3rd or whatever wheel, that always ended up being kicked or excluded from the group at some point. I was too vocal and energetic and excitable for most of them, and they would all end up telling me I was so annoying and that they didn't want me around. Which I now attribute to my ADD which I didn't get diagnosed with and get any sort of handle on until I was about 14. Which is also when I found my people, my first group of friends that I truly connected with, who liked all the same stuff I do, who liked talking to me, and didn't really have an issue with my sometimes out of control energy and excitement that I tried so hard to keep contained. And even now, a decade later at 24, I'm still friends with all of them, and I'm so close to them that to me, they aren't even just friends, they are my brothers. I now also have friends that I have made outside of and after finishing school, but I'm so scared of losing friendships, due to past experiences with previous "friends" (and some other more personal home issues), that I just cannot bring two separate friends together. Doesn't matter how badly I might want to hang out with both at the same time, and whether or not both are OK with the idea, I just can't do it. I am LITERALLY afraid of "losing" them to each other. Which sucks, because now suddenly I'M the uninclusive one, the one telling one friend "No, we can't hang out, because I'm with another friend." Which was something I HATED experiencing. I really do wish I could get over it, but I can never take the plunge.
"I think we just started a new life together."
I too enjoy introducing people to their soulmates.
The end broke my heart. His face. His face says everything.

Reminds me of a family gathering where everyone is picking at that quiet child and telling emberrassing stories about it.
The quiet child would be me. Usually those people are only quiet around their family.
You mean you?
"Yes let us speak of the quiet child. How sad and alone it is."
"... I'm a boy."
"And rude! It interrupts with the pointless ramblings of it's dull life. How sad and alone it chooses to be. Won't even tell us all it's name."
*Quiet child looks down at the nametag on his chest that says "Jeff" *
About "it"?
Yeah that's me even though i accomplished more and way successful than them at least my nice gesture is being quiet because you know they're life already shitty, they're only entertainment is being rude and god awful towards me it's the least i can do to cheer them up.

when you introduce two friends and find out they aren't your friends
Happened to me once, here’s the story to those who are interested:
I introduced a very old friend of mine to a newer one, they both hit it off great and they were inseparable. This old friend of mine lived a bit further away so I only saw him once every once in a while, while my newer friend lived across the street.
A few months after I introduced them to each other, I would even start to see my old friend in my town while going out even though he never told me he was here, also he would often be at my newer friends house across the street, without letting me know.
At some point it was summer and I went to a festival and I was allowed to bring 2 friends, I brought both of the guys and safe to say that the moment when we entered the terrain, I didn’t see them anymore for the upcoming 3 days.
Fun fact tho, 3 years later and they don’t talk to each other anymore, funny how people can be so into each other, just like couples, and after 6 months just break up and nothing else ever mentioned
They probably burned out hanging out with each other the moment the sugar rush wore off. I can relate to all of this, but what are you gonna do... que sera, sera.
if i was your friend, i wouldn't be your friend
HA
That really sucks...
@@altrogeruvah yeah, it definitely wore off. I also realized that my newer friend really grew up and become more of an adult, while my older friend never really did.
He still only talks about those times and acts the same way. I am also not really interested in seeing him anymore.
@@kittykitties4220 it definitely was hard at the time. But at this point it’s been 5 years and I have grown and matured and I just think of it as a waste of good festival tickets lol
it's disturbingly funny how obsessed his "friends" are with how much a failure he is, that they even bond through it. But not as disturbingly, em, painful as Thomas' laugh-cry.
Everyone had a visible mic, that's subtle genius
I didn't even notice
Hence the subtlety.
@@PawsleyDirt touchee
“Also his family problems”

I've been the introduced friend. It was so weird and I think we all were vaguely aware that it was weird, but at the same time we couldn't stop the weird energy...

@@Joel-Haver NO PLEASE NO

this is literally how I feel around everyone. So that's exactly why I talk to no one and stay home alone.

get out there, break the barrier. Its hard but you can do it. learn how to tell someone shut up. if they make you feel bad either walk away or tell them to shut up and let them finish the rest
This sucks. But not as much as the time i introduced my crush to my bestfriend and they hooked up.
Every god damn time, and it hurts no less each time
@@Daniela3969 I was on a NTR story binge session for an hour on this comment section until this reply finally got me to stop, thanks.
@@ralek592 Help, I'm also stuck reading the comments
This has happened to me so many times. Even happened with a high school friend of mine. Introduced him to another buddy of mine and they immediately acted like they had know each other forever, while I was in the background not being included in conversation for the rest of the night.
God this makes me so uncomfortable. Great acting from everyone, though!
Great Job. Everyone already knows the "friends becoming friends and bullying you" premise, but the exaggeration and unnecessary cruelty make this whimsical in a way
(2:23) Reached this point in the video..., I'm like..., why am I crying?, this is so real :'(
Every great friendship I ever had has ended from two people I introduced liking each other more than me.
The sad part is this shit happens to awkward people all the time. They can be total sweethearts and mean well but be completely lacking in the social department. What's sad to witness is their "friends" deceiving and ridiculing them with shade and double entendres, etc. Don't be a dick. If you don't like someone, be an adult and be honest.
Yeah. I know this one
@Toxic White Male You're comment is underserving of a rhetort. Learn to be a human being of tolerance and patience.
Edit: autocorrect, because the grammar Karen swooped in for a BBQ.
@@spunts144 tolerance*, you reckon your crappy grammar and spelling is the reason nobody likes you? Just joshing, but only partly... nah I'm playing dawg
I had some friends who became roommates who moved here from the Midwest. They said they liked me cause I was “so real” and everyone in the Midwest was how you just described. Then they started doing that shady shit to me. I was on dating hiatus with one of them who was visiting back home, visiting her “mom” but posted her inside her ex boyfriend’s house on Facebook.y brother came to help me move out of there in and in with him and just let my roommates find out on their own. They were like “we miss you dude had no idea you were leaving”. Soooooo fake it gets even more creepy than hurtful at a certain point.
@@roblosh8417 Damn bro that's gotta really hurt. I don't let people get too close anymore because I've been through so many fake friends in the past. It's hard to let people in in this day and age. If I date anyone ever again it's fwb all the way. Not letting anyone hurt me anymore. Thankfully I found some really amazing friends at a convention.
I hope you're doing alright. If you're looking for love, I hope you find that special someone who can remain honest and monogamous to you.
This one is going in my wheel house. I keep all my favorite things in my wheel house. Most of my favorite things are wheels which is why I call it that
Underrated comment.
@@raspar6 😉
This would happen to me with every single “friend” I’ve ever had. It became so frequent that I would just cut all contact and they would never hear from me again, Ofcourse no one ever checked up on me. And now I am the prime example of a loner.
Reminds me of a study that was done this year: "Most Teen Bullying Occurs Among Peers Climbing the Social Ladder; Highest Rates of Bullying Occur Between Friends and Friends-of-Friends"
“ He also has family problems “
His straight staring into the void after that comment, too.
Haha this reminds me of the time my best friend met one of my other best friends and ignored me so I hid behind his couch until his mom stumbled across me hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
You’re lucky she found you, otherwise you might still be there to this day.
trevor introducing himself again immediately after laughing at “what’s clever trevor” is my favourite bit
One of my friends tried to pull this shit when I introduced them to my friend group. Immediately called them out on it, "Hey, I know what you're doing. You're doing that thing where you try to act cool and assert yourself in the pecking order by punching down on someone. Don't do that, none of us think that's cool. Just be chill, let me get you a beer man." Then it was awkward for like 5 minutes but then I showed them a youtube video called "i want dat meatball" and some minecraft tik tok vore animations and it was all good.
I have huge respect for you
That Happened
I like that play. It takes self confidence and compassion to do what you did. And a lot of later drama or stress was avoided for everyone because you dealt with it immediately. I'm just the person that wishes I would do that and instead I sit silently. You seem like a good person.
Then everyone clapped, then the president came down from space and gave you a medal
@@Nathan-oe8ut No reason to think it's fake -- mature people exist.
When he said "Just kidding man" yeah I felt that.
"Just joshin' ya, buddy. But seriously. Bedtime. Now."
"Binky go bye-bye."
I know it’s a skit but I genuinely feel sad for this man. F in the chat
The part where one friend says something embarrassing about you, literally always happens.
the stare into the abyss at 2:09 is great
Hahahah yes, that is one of the best parts. That's when they really start going in on him and talking shit on his family... This video is one the best I've seen by Joel, one of my favorites and I've watched alot, including 3(or 4?) feature lengths. I think it's up there with Drowning in Potential. This one is just so funny snd hits so hard for something so short.
"I knew you guys would get along....my best friends" 💔😀💔💯
You really know how to make people uncomfortable.
*”Is it a date? It is a date!”*
2:18
I've lost friends introducing friends who got along so well I was left in the dust.
I’m so happy at how much this guy has blown up. I’ve never been so happy to hop on the bandwagon. This man is reviving a brand of internet sketch comedy I thought had been overtaken by 7 second videos. I wish him a successful 2021.
You might wanna check Julie Noke. Or Viva la Dirt League, in a different register.
Literally the reason I keep my friend groups separated lmao
Yeah that ending got me good. Hit way too close to home.
I had two great friends, from very different backgroud/group, you get it, friend with them for years, but they never met. One from college and one from metal concerts. And yeah. They became absolute best pals once I introduced them to each others at the pub and then, never had a call from one of them ever again, unless they needed something. Not like I didn't try to do stuff with them, on the contrary. Completely ghosted. It even got quite disgusting to some point actually. Example: Both like "Nah sorry I gotta study tonight" and the other "nah family dinner tonight" (can't remember the excuses but both had one that night and couldn't go out and have a drink) And Bingo! Who do I see drinking together once I get to the pub?
That was a really soft example, to say the least.. jeez.
They just didn't need me anymore, they found someone more interesting than me to hang with.
I'm just not interesting, at all. I'm this "expandable" or "interchangeable" pal, not friend, pal, because friends aren't supposed to do that to each others. I'm just this "pal" everyone knows and supposedly likes to hang out with, but actually nah, it's only if there's no one else, or through sheer pity, got a few to admit that. So yeah, that shit happened to me a few times. Always hurts.
Now that was almost ten years ago. Lot of shit hit the fan back then and crippling depression got back at it. Ah, my old enemy. Almost didn't get out of this one. Still barely recovering.
Never had actual friends ever since then.
Not planning on getting new ones either.
You deserve to have some actual good friends man
Jesus, man. The tear...I was laughing until then. Fuck. Dude, wanna hug?
Plot twist: There was only Joel in the room this whole time
He’s just reliving trauma in his head because being bullied by people is still better than being alone
This is probably why I always subconciously hesitate to have my friends, meet my other friends.. Deep down I am secretly worried they will find my other friends ''cooler'', and stop hanging out with me.
Joel's change in disposition when Gunter mentions his family problems slew me.
This gives me a whole new fear....I'm never introducing my friends to each other, not like there was much chance of that happening anyways.
Wait you guys have friends?
I maybe make 1 friend every 2 years, which I do not keep contact with after departure . Sometime, i spent 365 days without making 1 friend, but it is very good when i make 1 friend because we end up talking for hours for months
Because introducing friends to each other requires having, not just one - but at least two! - friends.
@@Sashazur unfortunately, you do not need to have more than one friend for this kind of thing to happen
@@jamescrock2213 i know the feeling, idk what happnd after middle school but ive managed to only make 1 friend in the past 5 years. im in my 2nd year of college now. Idk how one day you can just make friends and then the next it looks near impossible and infeasible. Social interaction is just one of those accursed things that you cant ever really learn or study for.
I'm particularly drawn to how you visually depicted the hilariously sad awkwardness. Also, I'm still trying to remember what the word "wheelhouse" means ever since an NCT 127 album review snippet got it stuck in my head.
"In baseball, a batter's "wheelhouse" is the part of a batter's strike zone in which he or she is most likely to hit a home run. It seems likely that the nautical form of "wheelhouse" was borrowed by baseball, becoming prominent in baseball writing starting in the 1950s." Actually news to me, too.
k I was laughing really hard the whole time and your last shot made my heart drop bro...
This guy is a seriously good actor
My buddy just introduced me to this channel through this video...
I can already tell I'm gonna be hanging out with Joel Haver more than him.
That was so perfectly uncomfortable. I loved it
1:39 That part REALLY hit close to home.
You are so good at portraying uncomfortable situations, that it makes me wanna leave the situation i am not currently in.
I couldn't relate more, omg the more I watch the worse it gets
This hits too close to home :(
Joel you have such a way of making it difficult deciding whether to laugh or cry
I am constantly amazed at how well designed your short films are. You play so many different types of awkward so perfectly.
It's like you hit the stereotypes but it's not over the top lay it on thick style, it's just enough expressed through the character to let you know the emotional hierarchy information that drives the skit. Damn funny stuff.
Tbh this is the reason why I try to do not introduce friends. You just don't mix different circles of friends
I actually felt like commenting on the camera angles, so...
Great angles, I really like the way it was filmed to make him look smaller
The sheer nonchalance of "also, his family problems" gets me every time
There is something delightfully hilarious about that run at 0:37
1:05 this is such a realistic and awkward reaction
Wow. Tomas's face is priceless.
Looks too real.
I think he might be acting out of actual experience.
😃
I rewatch this video every week or so just to see Joel say "This is awesome."
"Yea.. I've lost A LOT of respect for you... Oh, wait, that already happened, hahaha"
holly shit lol
Reminds me of this guy I used to be friends with
When it was me and him hanging out, very light banter ensued and it was obvious, sarcastic tones. We never talked shit about people.
When his friend was around, he would cop a lot of shit from him but his friend was confident and laughed it off, it didn't phase him.
Then it happened, he invited me to drink with him and I asked if I could bring my socially awkward brother along (who also knew of this friend, from high school). We got there and it was him, his girlfriend at the time and another girl who was dating someone we knew. He proceeded, for the next two hours, to just constantly belittle me and pretend to me, in front of these girls, that I was a pussy. At one point I told him "dude, don't call me a pussy" and his response was, with a big confident wide open mouthed smile, to say "prove it, let's have a little spar". Now, he fucking knew I wasn't much of a fighter, I wasn't awkward but he took advantage of that.
So the next time I saw him a few weeks later, I told him "what was up with that shit you pulled the other week? you kept shitting on me and it really made me uncomfortable, you don't do that shit to me ever, what the fuck?" and he apologised.
Eventually, I realised that he fucking did this to so many people. The other friend (other girl) who was there, he was banging on the side behind the boyfriends back and everytime the boyfriend came up in conversation between me and him (he knew I didn't like the guy because I got shit talked about for having a dead father), he would just chat shit about how the guy is awkward and a pussy.
Fucking dickhead is now getting into politics in Australia, plot twist, I have tons of photos of me and him getting high and drinking, so if he ever goes after the poor or supports policy which only cares about money, then I'll just release the photos online anonymously.
Unexpectedly based ending
That's heavy bro, not the kind of person I'd want in power.

Dude I fully support you - hope you are feeling a bit better now since that toxic ahole is out of your life
I've known plenty of guys like this, they're pretty cool one on one but with others around, particularly women they get all "Alpha" and try to be the big man. Can't lock up on them, you have to be witty. Make them look like cavemen who can only prove themselves by fighting. It's a real shitty thing to do, making someone feel stupid, I only do this with the ones who really take it too far.
Joel, you just have the most beautiful speaking voice I can't even explain it but I love it
I'm not quite as awkward as Thomas, but this is exactly why I prefer not having friends.
I hope you become more proactive instead of wallowing in self pity and denial, truly though i do hope you happiness. But being happy and forging deep bonds with people isn't something that comes naturally to anybody, it isn't something that's handed to you. Takes hard work to be happy and form those lasting bonds with others, but once you put the work it it comes easier and easier and one day you'll realise you're far better off for it
Have a ged yin bud, catch yeh later
