  • Just keep trying, you'll get it as long as you don't give up.

  • Could you come up with another movie that you can option, and use that money to do your own movie.

  • No views?

  • @kennykillsyou1 Yeah, I was wondering about that too. If you look, none of his videos in the suggestions have views either. : /

  • hey dave why not try to contact dave chappelle

  • Dave, I have followed you for quite some time, and I adore you video's. I look forward to seeing more video's. <3 Keep going! Things will happen. Sending the best vibes your way!

  • thank you so much man

  • Will keep you in my prayers of success

  • Tell the 30 people to contact youtube. Make the title of the messages all the same. They'll listen.

  • Very True Dave Very True i see i see....

  • Dear Dave. Stay encouraged. It will take off. Have faith, stay determined, and do your thing like you have. As a spiritual man you know it's not all in your hands. Have faith and patience. I am myself an independent artist (self-published author) so I have similar frustrations. If it's meant for my books to sell millions I will, if not I know I have something else destined for me. Keep doing what you love comedy, God may have other plans for you. By the way I love your stuff!!!

  • I watched this at 2 in the morning....lol!! I subscribed because of Shay Carl...I love your comedy and WHEN it happens for you i will definitely be there spending my $10 to watch the movie....probably more than once!!!

  • omg the fucking grey bar that takes up 1/5 of your page, and is automaticlly configured to auto play videos. someone said they update youtube every 3 months so hold on boys, youtubs getting worse :(

  • @MusicTutsMontages to stop auto play u click the autoplay off butten...........

  • @MrYungkash well they have updated it now but i forgot to say that, when u disabled it, the next video u go on it would automaticly switch on again.

  • i'll do it i don't use my channel for anything lol

  • dude i read the comments and screw you guys who hate dave cus you think he using us hes donig nothing that we would do he just wants to reach a standard to show us his comedy to make us laugh

  • very cool

  • ok then i put you in my very cool list keep up the good work !

  • Join the club. I've got to be one of the most over looked, underviewed youtubers out there. I should get an award recognizing me for being one of the most un-recognized youtubers in the history of youtube. My most recent upload has three views on it right now and two of them are mine. I wish I knew who that other guy was.

  • you...are....a....genius 

  • I would be a liar if I said I followed all of this, but I followed alot of it and it was very interesting. I make good video's, yet have not alot of views, yet I talk about the same type of stuff big people do. Lol unfair

  • Try and get in touch with Kevin Smith. I know, I know....easier said than done right? Well, I am sure if your movie is that good in the comedy gerne then he will probably give you a hand. I REALLY hope you get the chance to do this. You are funny and I would go see it to help support you. I hope your read this. You give a lot of us in the military a lift with your funny vids. BEST OF LUCK!!!!

  • Best of luck to you:/ you are great and very funny, but you need people's help I guess, when I win the lottery, I will fund you:D

  • ppl David Sprates is sikk so stop hatin on him because ur all jealous of him and how funny he is. keep up the good work david sprates. :)

  • Hey Dave, why dont you start a fund raiser on like your facebook, twitter, myspace etc.? I mean if your subscribers donate the money for the movie, then you can finance the movie yourself. I mean you may (may not) get the 2-3 million for the movie but its a start. I know i would donate some money, your skits are funny as hell.

  • I don't know if it gonna work. But try making more professional work. Y'know. Make awesome intros. Make HD videos(you already doing it). Try using more kind of a...hmm...how i should call....maybe make original videos? I know you're doing comedy. But I think (no offense) comedy is going down. Everybody is doing like daily vlogs like shaycarl. RWJ doing entertainment videos. Just you'know. Try create an idea that will make a BLAST for everyone. Good luck. (advice for intros Adobe After Effects)

  • this is the first video of yours ive seen and it made me sub

  • you are a genius when it comes to comedy you just gotta believe in yourself the way that everyone of your subscribers believe in you(not to sound wierd(

  • Keep on truckin Daave, so many people love your stuff

  • Hey Dave. I'm involved in a non-profit and this has worked for us in the past for various projects. Why not start a pledge page where people who want to see your movie can go post or sign-up to pledge to go see it when it comes out. Allow people to make comments and such. I'm not saying that will guarantee anything but it's one more thing that might push those in the position to finance it feel a little better about their investment. I'm with you bro! Don't ever give up!

  • We like and agree with everything you are saying here mate. :) We try to put on a good show, and sometimes it very deflating and you wonder if you want to go on.

  • I been on youtube a long time, seen alot of people come n go. I dont make much content myself but hell i watch ALOT of others. Just from personal experience, ive seen channels get a massive boost just from being in other peoples videos, and then a link to their channel is in the description box. You only have to look at raywilliamjohnson and his Vlog channel, who evers in his videos, gets their channel linked and their sub numbers jump. Maybe you gotta try get in the mix with that sort of stuff

  • you earn it bruh u funny as hell DAMP i love your videos ill try to get your name out there

  • hey man, stay strong! your time will come and i'ma buy your movies cuzz you are some funnyyy assss SHIP!!!! hahahaha i'll give your name out and youtube account on facebook and try get some people into you i dont make youtube videos but wen i do i will deffinatly shout you out and get people knowing your name even if it isnt many, every little helps right? good luck!!!

  • .... We still love you dave!!!!!

  • I'm hearing you...

  • lol fudging and ship haha dats halarious

  • i feel you my nigga i got good videos to check me out homie

  • I will always support you Dave!!!

  • Every time i try to upload one of my videos after i edit it on windows movie maker youtube doesn't take it! Can anyone please help me? I can upload just the plain video without editing it!

  • Obviously it would of already crossed your mind but if you haven't already talk to sxephil. Your both awesome and I'd love to see you two working together.

  • Yeah. I agree. I want to dump youtube since they 'changed' things. I can't find my 'quick list'. And I can't find the 'help' button anymore....not like it did any good. I 'never' got a response before...so I guess they think since they didn't do anything anyway...why offer the 'help' button. I want my 'quick' list. Where is it?

  • Comment removed

  • hey david

    quick question: are people like rwj or shane carl making movies? I don't think I could name one movie written by, or starring, a big (or little) youtuber. maybe the industry doesn't think the stuff done on youtube is suitable for film...

    I'm not saying what you've written isn't right for a movie, but maybe just that youtube isn't the best way of selling it...

    good luck with it all anyway and I'll keep watching!

  • i heard about you via destorm . . .

    just keep your head up dave . . . you need to reevaluate your approach & come up with a whole new game plan . . . you need to come up with another creative way to garner more views and whatnot

    i wish the best of luck to you ;)

  • 11:11

  • To be a YouTube Partner.

  • Hey, Vato I'm on your side! Where can I get one of those You Tube T-shirts, xx-L! help me please!!

  • Regardless of what other people say.

    I feel you. And who cares if you want some money too?

    Big money at that. You can want money and love what you do too.

    Keep it up.

  • Dave if Nigahiga can make a damn movie then i know damn well you can keepy your head up and keep moving forward

  • I've put your name on some of my Channel's and told my friends man, Im 14 so It's hard for me too get through to people but Im trying my best Dave =) Keep it up man It will happen eventually, just wait for the "Click".

  • I think you're GREAT and I just started watching your videos today. So I will do the best I can to help you get what you deserve =]=]

  • Ur stuff is great!! About getting views..i guess you have to shape up somewhere..not material wise, but more in layout..ie. it would be nice to see ur videos start with better animation.

    ..Some of your videos start slowly with a ten sec intro of words being typed out or something..

    But hands down your comedy is great!

  • If you did have a movie i think africanoboi, Bee138ti and Skorpion Show would be EPIC!!!!

  • I know what you you mean but like most if not all of them are just normal people they dont know but producers or execs. if they did your name would have been out there but i think if your 66 thousand subscribers and all you other youtube friends get together i know that we can get your name out and youtube is a part of the problem people who your better than have way more subs. maybe if we all get together and post your vids. everywhere you can YOU WILL GET NOTICED

  • I feel the same way bro, believe me. I really do :( I feel for you! I was denied partnership as well.. and going onto 5000 subscribers and fans within 2 months is very good I know man... I feel for you. Maybe we should wake them up together! I'm game.

  • yo man run wit this pleaseeeee!! i wanna see this!

  • same ship happend to ASA.......

  • To wilsongb100 : ooooh helllll no!!!! totally different views. Im not angry at "youtube". I was just venting about how frustrating it is for ME to reach my goal. I have to figure it out.. it's not youtube's fault.

  • Dave, I feel you man. I am gonna help, spread your videos, and whatever else I can do, you are funny. You do deserve whatever it is you want. MySpace, I have 4 different pages, don't ask why, but I can post on all of them, Twitter, Facebook, and everything else I use. Good luck to you.

    ~Mark G, MicCity~

  • Go david

  • so its all about the money and becoming famous, which turns to just using "us" the public in hopes that one of us have the conect you need...

  • To Danis6 : You are off by a mile.

  • @laughandpeealittle So you say that he's wrong saying that it's about becoming famous, and I see this in the video: "Make A Shout Out Video Telling People About My Vids"

    Please continue lying.

  • @drewallum1 Why are you trying to couch Dave on how to do his Ship man? Hes been on youtube, actually MAKING video's for years. YEARS! And, What have you done? Who have you worked with? Giving examples like eddie, and jamie and Chris is such a generalization to acting it's incredibly cocky and disrespectful. They didnt start on youtube, they just got lucky and showed up at the right audition.

  • @Tavevision there's no need to get defensive. Dave seemed stressed about getting the respect he deserves on youtube and furthering his career. As one of his many loyal fans, I just noted some of the things he can do to improve his perception to the average person who hasn't seen or heard of him yet. The examples I gave didn't start on Youtube, but are household names thanks to their comedy. David Spates should be a household name. The way to get better is to see where u can improve.

  • dave, i really hope you make it someday. you're a really cool dude, and i wish you all the best!! stay strong!!!

  • dave man ur the SHIP u got great ideas. keep on doing ur part THANKS FOR MAKING ME LAUGH

  • everyone should share at least 1 of Davids videos on Facebook. THats what Im gunna do.

  • yo david!!

    i loved those 10 things u shuld never say to ur guy friends lol.

    do more of those plz

  • Good

  • I think the fact that you're venting here shows you ARE human, not just some internet actor. You're one of the funniest people I've seen on youtube. I think you have GREAT potential as an actor. I've told people about you, people who have later subscribed to you. Keep doing your thing, man, don't give up. You're doing a good thing.

  • To drewallum1 : Drama? what R U talking about? Fighting who? I was just friustrated THAT day & was venting 2 my "ONLINE FRIENDS" I "talked 2 them all the time, blog tv.... this video obviously was not meant for U. I put up a new video the next day, why? because I'm not a drama guy. Just venting 2 my friends because I'm human & I'm pretty open with my online friends, You're not going 2 like everything i do, & I'm fine with that. just know, this is how I am if U want 2 keep watching my videos :-)

  • I wanna see Dave's Movie!

  • david spates ftw =)

  • 3) Post more often. The community loves seeing you. Do 3min on the toilet - 2/week (Hell, =3 has his formula down and look where that got him. Your funny ass-perspective is what took that last video you did to 1mill hits

  • To drewallum1: Please don't take this wrong but U must B new 2 me. Everything is fine. I said at the end of the video I would B cool and doing my thing the next day. People who know me know if I say something that's what I mean. I'm cool and happy as a mother fudger and was back on the grind just hours after I made this video. I know you are new because the posting more suggestion... look when this channel was started and look how many videos i have. do the math, yeah, that's a lot: :-)

  • @laughandpeealittle Thanks for the responses. The drama I was speaking about was when you spoke on Asa a while back. You asked for sugestions....(I believe) so I gave a few. "Focusing" your channel will bring you the noteriety you deserve. Use " Laughandpeealittle" for jokes and funny stuff. Create a "Behind the scenes" page so that the fans can get to know you. That separation, is important. New or not Dave, I'm probably one of your biggest fans. All the best and thanks for your candor.

  • To

    drewallum1: I appreciate it. I couldn't be more focused my friend. LaughAndpeealittle is more than comedy. It's everything sketch, serious vlogs, real life diaries.... The ASA thing, not beef for me, just me talking to my people & him telling them the truth. For people who just want comedy, they just watch the sketch comedy playlist. But for people who want more of the real me, more interaction, they watch everything, funny or serious because a lot of them can relate :-)

  • Hang in there Dave

  • I think you did a good marketing strategy here dave..ship.. you got me on board promoting you.. I share every video I watch of you on facebook.. It's gonna happen dave.. you hooked me on the break down of the AC transit bus fight.. that's classic.. nodoubt!

  • laughandpeealittle & skyyjohn are my two favorites on youtube!

    If I did videos I'd promote both of you all the time.

  • the kid kinda cheated to get the subscribers by tricing people on facebook to sub to him by jioning a facebook group. he said after that he did it cause small youtubers dont get alot of attention which i agree, but i tthinks he full of ship and just said that caus elal the heat on him.

  • i would defintly watch something like this, i have faith in you.

  • David Spades FTW!!!

  • you fudgin high!

  • david spates ftw

  • I think Dave should use some hax moves like responding to big videos or putting hot girls on the thumbnails like sxephil, come on it works.

  • Dave deserves more subs than sxephil and shanedawson.... dave has REAL talent.... he is the funniest motherfudger on youtube!

  • I get your points but if you don't have time to promote other people due to the requirements your limited subcriber base entails, how can you expect other channels that have four times as many subs to have the time? I'm not dissing you becasue I see your point, just throwing some logic in, that"s all.

  • One day...the day will come =)

    If I EVER come into contact with a producer first thing I'll say is..."David Spates!" Then work our way from there. :O

    Goodluck...anything I can do let me know (from another video?:O)

  • hey i watched it, i have no power on youtube with only like 20 subs lol, but ill help. 20 more people is something right? :)

  • c0ol b0xed y0u dave

  • i want this movie to happen

  • david spates i feel for you man. really i hope this movie comes out cuz it sounds like a really great idea man. blessings man

  • Dave keep your head up, you will get your opportunity. God always shine on everyone. I will see you in the movies soon. Just give me a bit part in the movie...lol. just joking. But seriously, i got you man.

  • Well dude, you make quality videos and you work hard; you have the drive and the spirit. I like your vision for this YouTube video, and I appreciate you not trashing on the big channels by name. I'll promote you, it's the least I can do for the service you provide.

  • Dave ive been with you from day one!( on a different channel name). You are one of the best youtubers out there! I really thought you were one on the most subscribed. Dont worry everything will work out! I will spread the word about you.

  • I've found the people on youtube/google staff to be very reachable. I wonder how much you motha fudgin tried to get in touch with anybody.

  • A petition letter maybe? I dunno, maybe draft a basic petition form or something...not sure about the technicalities about making it legal, but I duno, maybe if 1 million people mailed one (only costs like 43 cents) and you sent that box off...could help? I dunno. Just a random idea...

  • DAVE i hear you man... Keep your head up and keep pushing!! Don't give up!! You are not funny You are hilarious man!!

  • David Spates... a man before his time. Hollywood establishment... gonna go the way of the newspaper if they don't evolve. It ain't making u no cash, but I appreciate what you do.

  • Well the fact is that there are so many people trying to accomplish the same thing you are. As you said google and youtube are just running their bussiness, but most likely have no true intrest in the people actually making videos. What I recommend you do is try promote yourself through an already successful youtuber like shanedawson...etc. than once you have an assload of subscribers, contact filming agencies from there.

  • Everyone got behind him it looks like, He is going somewere there, good luck man.

  • Going through the same thing man, only with my local music scene. Keep it up, I'm sharing things a man should never say to another man! lol Funny as hell!

  • Man.... I tell you. You're a funny Motha Fudger and it drives me nuts how some of the talentless bullship channels have so many subs. (Fred?) You should be a top guy on YouTube for sure.. Keep on keepin on!!

  • Can someone PM me and tell me where I can find on my control panel at YT how I can put up a cool box? I can't find it where it says cool box.

    Thanks

  • u got some of the best vids iv seen keep it up man

  • :DD haha

  • Just had a thought , why not raise money from friends ,fans and family ? Hollywood won't drop a ton of money to an unknown and a lot of decent none Hollywood movies have made big money with low budgets. Doesn't take 2 million to make a good movie.

  • I would go watch it Dave .

  • Wake up YOUTUBE and see this man is one of the funniest :D Love you David!!

  • Hang in there. If crap movies like "Mega Shark vs Giant Octopus" and "Dragon Wars" could hit the big screen, then I know some serious comedy like yours would be some serious awesomeness to the theaters. I have seen several of your vids, and it's really funny stuff. I dont knwo much about the movie business or tips about it, but i'll be cheering ya on, guy. My friends are also starting to see your vids so you got more traffic! GOOD LUCK!!!

  • you should try to be a youtube partner

  • try emailing bigger youtubers, and have them email bigger youtubers, and so on and so forth until somebody can get a hold of somebody big carrying your message. thats my advice. your a funny guy and deserve th have your movie made

  • you make me laugh in every video. i truly truly hope you get your movie made...i have told my friends to sub and promote you...i wish you nothing but the best

  • You stand out cuz your black and dont kick me please!

  • lol hey if you want you can email me when ever you want to your a funny mofo

  • lol i hope your movies have me peein in my mutha fudgin pants

  • "Adult experience," heh.

  • i love you dave if you love day put thelink t this video and send it to all your friends

  • keep doin your thing dave!!! dont pull a asa on us yo!!!

  • @niguh2 Aahahahhahaa, NEVER! :-)

  • If i had stacks of cash i woulda help you out, but i dont... So im repping for you all i can dave! Keep on trying! It's time for a new eddie murphy!

  • I'm always behind you

  • I like what you're doing man

    keep it up and I hope the movie comes out because I'd definitely go see it and I'll take every soul I know lol

    good luck man

  • I really hope your movie gets made cause i wanna see it and im sure itll be funny we should help by telling the big ones on youtube

  • Also, I think this is exactly the kind of frustration Asa was feeling, but instead of doing the healthy thing by putting out a video like this, he went crazy and well...yeah. So it's good to see what you're doing here.

  • I would go to some of the big tubers and have them help push the making of the movie people like Shane Dawson, RayWilliamJohnson, Phil, Shay, TheStation, Iman, hell even Fred you have them all make videos marketing this and I guarantee it wouldn't take long for you to get that phone call.

  • Glad you put this out man...feel free to vent again anytime you want. I appreciate your views on all this stuff.

  • @BJJANDKARATE - I'm reading a lot of people say this about Shane. What did he actually do, or not do on to keep getting called out so much?

  • @11asidehero

    If you can't undestand why he wont, and cant, give everybody a shoutout, you're just as retarded as you think he is.

  • Keep it up david. I came here from Shay Carl - but over the days/weeks/months I have to say you keep it real. Not that Shay doesn't - he seems a really nice guy - but I am starting to see the success get to him and his family. Sad to see - but no one is immune. Good luck to ya bud. I would share ya out - but I don't have any subs. lol

  • If you associate yourself with bigger youtubers and get in some of their videos it will help get the word out for you.

  • tweet Ellen Degeneres, and try to get on her show.. She loves youtube videos, and I seen once where she 'promoted' a guy that jumped a car, on youtube, and helped him get a NIKE commercial, bc he could 'jump'.... If she seen your videos, I think she would definitely laughandpee a little =-}

    Good luck, I'd go see your movie!

  • how do i put your video on my page???

  • @ADHDwildchild nvm i found out how to

  • lol.youtube pick and choose which vids to be on most viewed

  • Keep your head up Dave! Fan to the end over here

  • Dude... You're a fuqn (fudge ing) GENIUS !!! What a killer idea. Do this... solicit ALL your subscribers to do a video response under the label... YOUTUBERS WANT THIS. Hyper-link to other channels. Make this ship DEMOCRATIC!!! Rub that ship in their (Youtube/Google) face. Make the mutherfudgers do it. Get at me if you think I could help.

  • Have you had the other youtube crew running the idea of the thing by their subscribers? A campaign of sorts?

  • Comment removed

  • Keep your head up, Dave. I know what it's like to have a good idea, and you've done your research showing it will make money with little effort, yet still no one listens. One of the most frustrating feelings in the world. I wish you best of luck, you have a big heart, and I will start posting your stuff up on my facebook account!

  • xsx
