It's a vicious cycle.

[OptimusSkiver]

This vid is so meta...

[Hatlover11]

I was sick today, but you made me smile. :)

[XOSiren18XO]

lmao!

[robinocracy]

I guessed the Mother reference before you said it. :)

Sometimes I think I'm a cynic too... hmm, is thinking that you're a cynic, cynical?

[sksaxgirl]

I love this video, but I still feel as though I should go delete every video I've ever made now. :)

[niminonono]

I love the "See What I Did There"

More More More!

and on a less creepy note....hi :)

[davidleduc85]

lol. 

[hesaidshesaidfm]

I love you Leslie. I just wanted to express my love for you so that you know I approve of this video. See what I did there? I explained my statement of 'I love you' to show that I understand your chosen vlog topic. See what I did there? HELEN! Vicious cycle indeed.

[emmfan09]

LOVE.

[SlipFlip]

I just uploaded a vlog... I feel like this is about me :P

[NatalieZenaLouise]

About sixty seconds in I started yelling Inception. Yes, I see what you did there.

[blingblingshineshine]

I agree with the blue leslie-that was annoying.

[AzureFalls64]

Oh God, so much Inception.

[seeradurr]

ps. humbleness = humility :)

[seeradurr]

i literally just watched a video that did that and thought the same thing.

[InTheUrbanForest]

Most honest video I've seen in a while

[neeeevis]

i'm laughing to fit in but i don't understand?

see what i did there? i failed epicly at a witty comment i stole from someone else to say that i didnt understand a word of this but still loved it :)

[electr0lady]

I see you in a positive light.

[Schubes17]

This was epic!!!!!!!!

(See what I did there? I commented with lots of exclamation points to show my excitement and how happy this video made me)

[AfricaConcentrated]

this is completly hilarious :L I got so completly lost like half way through but still found it hilarious, if only I could think as fast as you speak XD. I though must admit I do kinda explain my videos too, and when watching this I realised it was pointless. It will stop with the next one : D

[Jimplicit]

You just blew my mind

[RoxiMuffinz]

Why just why?

[itarix64]

Oh no its trending!

[TheHomunculi]

I wanted that cycle to just keep going

[bandgeek8408]

A vicious cycle, indeed.

(See what I did there? I repeated the last thing you said so as to indicate that I really did watch the video all the way through, because quite frankly, the video was so awesome that I'm kind of at a loss for words.)

(See what I did there? I did . . . pretty much the most un-original thing in the comments I could have done. Hey look, self-deprecation!) =) <--Smiley face, which makes everything okay!

[katinatreesee]

Comment either 1.) agreeing with you 2.) disagreeing with you or 3.) vomiting complete nonsense.

[MsPurpleMusic]

I got you, and then you totally lost me again... it was like a much simplified version of a paradox, except it wasn't because... well, it wasn't.

:D

[broadout]

LOL (see what i did there? I didn't know what to say so I said lol just to make the comments go up. See what I did there? I just explained myself so I don't look so bad but I do anyway. Now time for smiley face =) )

[maculata]

I like the part where you explained things. =)

[122172639]

PS congrats on 1)being made a YT partner!! & 2)this being my 100th favorited video--as tomorrow is my 4 year tubiversary or whatever, that means I have favorited 25 videos a year on average, basically about every fortnight. So congrats on being my favorite of the fortnight, too. It's well-deserved. I'm super happy I found this foundgrail paradise.

[122172639]

This. Is. Awesome. Insta-fave->that's like... instant coffee or that weird non-dairy "creamer" that is in weird powder form and made from corn starch... except it's awesome in its rapid delivery instead of mediocre and nauseating. It's like flavo-aid except real.See what I did there?I made stupid tangental metaphors that make no sense to make sense of a senseless word.Then I explained that it was stupid so you realize I'm knowingly incorporating dumbassery so you don't think I AM stupid.Vicious!

[RowlfWannabe]

Oh, it totally works.

p.s. go shave your feet

[jennysunshinehowto]

That just made my day! You are easily one of my favorite youtubers. Thank you!

[Justtubed]

IT works. I agree with you. I rarely like to put that explanation in my videos. It gets me into trouble though, when people think my dinosaur facts are real, or that my name is raquel, or that I really am sick with bieber fever.

[lesliefoundhergrail]

@Justtubed And *that's* when I call them idiots.

[missymoo33]

@Justtubed My name is Raquel.....

[MsMoonHere]

o..o is this an over-dose of irony?

*dazedly ambles back to cubby hole*

[rrichdubb]

AHH! i love you! <3 in a non creepy kind of way, i promise.

[thathoopy]

Yes, Leslie. Yes.

ALSO, CONGRATS ON MAKING PARTNER.

[sannadreams]

hahahahaahhah funny

[milk4e]

your hilarious 

[supersharayah]

Appropriately titled. haha.

[StayFlyStephanie]

i wholeheartedly concur

[point5past]

clever girl. (love. it.)

[lesliefoundhergrail]

@dazedc0nfusd how so?

[Korbenik]

See what I did there? I clicked thumbs up to show you that I really enjoyed your video.

See what I did there? I explained my opinion in a comment to get your attention.

See what I did there? I copied the idea behind your video in a comment because I couldn't think of much else to say.

See what I did there? I was honest in order to make myself seem more approachable, inviting replies from you.

See what I did there? I asked you to reply in a very round about way.

[sarahflode]

Why are you so concerned with how others format their videos? If you don't like the way they do it, don't watch it maybe?

[lesliefoundhergrail]

@sarahflode You may love certain videomakers personalities, wits and editing, but they just happen to fall into a certain mode of vlogging that tends to be a trend around here on YouTube. I'm like that with some people, I love them as a person, but maybe not how they make videos, but I also want to support them.

And I'm not concerned, it's a rant(well really, it's a ran that turns into a joke). Rants tend to be dramatic.

[TheMissingSignal]

hahaha! Nicely done. You tell those content creators how annoying metavideos are. Um...I mean. No..I like them. Meta is good. Wait. :)

[lesliefoundhergrail]

@TheMissingSignal I'm pretty sure I do the same stuff. Even though one tries to go against the normal vlogging stuff, they start to act like the people that don't want to be one of "them". So in other words, this is my way of saying "Leslie, stop worrying and just be yourself."

That's not at all what you were talking about. I tend to do that.

[TheMissingSignal]

@lesliefoundhergrail lol You actually read through my sassy wit relatively well. I know how frustrating it is to try to against the impulse of trying to explain what you're doing. I think it comes naturally to those of us who honestly WANT to communicate with those watching our videos. It's also the easiest, not most creative, way of getting people involved. I'm actually nixing a video I shot last night in which all I spoke about was how I wanted ppl more involved. Bah! Creativity isn't original

[bobscomic1]

Awesome. Well constructed and funny, including the under-bar. I'd subscribe to you if I hadn't already. Can I sub you twice? Maybe I'll make another Youtube account.

[lesliefoundhergrail]

@bobscomic1 haha you shouldn't do that. But thanks!

[imphlatround]

lmao LOVE seeing you in my sub box!

[sageroni]

See what you did there? You just deconstructed a thought pattern.

[somoosetastic]

This is amazing!

[idontknow1781]

i think you're over-analyzing things just a tad bit. but, it was entertaining nonetheless.

[richardland]

this is excellent. i love self referential honest dialog like this. thumbs up!

[lesliefoundhergrail]

@richardland Holy crap, Richard gave me a thumbs up! I'm honored.

[GlerkyDestiny]

your irony makes me lolz

[erasablesharpie]

I see what you did there.

[PHvlogger]

My brain hurts

[iamsolikeawesome]

You should be more famous on Youtube.

[lesliefoundhergrail]

@iamsolikeawesome oh pish.

[TheCoryKid]

I think I just read the tags in a YouTube video for the first time in my life. And what do I find, but a cute little gem from lesliefoundhergrail. I might start reading tags now.

(I don't actually think you intended to make a semi-coherent statement hide away in your tags. But now that I've brought it to your attention, you should start doing it.)

Anyway, great video. Another thing that I'm seeing a lot of lately in videos is the blooper appendages, and I really enjoy them.

[lesliefoundhergrail]

@TheCoryKid Oh actually, I did. But I just thought of myself as more weird for doing so, haha.

[unfortunatelynotreal]

You so clever you.

[kypsalis]

FAKE AND GAY!!!!! See what I did there? I made a random and completely unnecessary comment, pretending to be a troll and making a gag-drop. For those who are curious...gag-drop is what I call a comment somebody makes that refers to a completely different and fairly popular youtube vlogger to imply that said commenter is more youtube worldly than you are.  See what I did there?

[gemllama]

My head is spinning now, man. Just spinning.

[iheartm20]

Yessssssssssssssssssssssssssss­sssssssssssssssssssss.

Emphatically.

[Forgiven777333]

leslie, you. are. awesome! have a wonderful day :)

[MissKriekentaart]

It's a vicious cycle, but who cares if it's happening to me? Can't you see, it's obscene.

- The Cribs aka amazingly awesome band

[lifemakesmelaf]

haha that sounded like an ap eng lit paper.

[Haduct]

This made my day!

[xxDothemonkeyDancexx]

so truee!!

[HelloFutureKari]

I LOVED this! ...like a lot.

[evmoneyTV]

aaaaaaaaaaaaahahahahahahaha this was fantastic

[lesliefoundhergrail]

@evmoneyTV You are adorable.

[IcePr1ncess98]

What a vicious cycle, see what I did there, as the commenter repeating the obviosly stated title following a complement, "Leslie is so funny".

[cho474chang]

The end was the best :D This is so true, and I think almost all vloggers have been guilty of it at some point.

[theroversrefrain]

oh that was wonderful... That just made me for real laugh out loud at my computer. Seriously people are staring

[lesliefoundhergrail]

@theroversrefrain That kinda makes me giggle a lot.

[halosandbagels]

Yea....the cycle is pretty vicious. Doesn't mean that it's not amusing though xD.

[fizzylimon]

Hahaha so true. But. You know. If that's the way vlogging culture is I don't know how good it will be to complain... because then you'll just be complaining all the time.

[lesliefoundhergrail]

@fizzylimon but really though, isn't that the layout of half of my videos? Ranting about something unimportant.

Actually it's less of a complaint and more of a realization of how vlogs have more of a pattern now.

[mrjonjoseph]

You always make me so happy.

[ItzCheyenne]

Jesus Christ. You are so going to hell.

(See what I did there?)

[Reginolde]

Entertaining.

[anneliworld]

haha thank you for a little laugh!

[TheAlternativeSoul]

That was hilarious! (See what I did there?)

[lesliefoundhergrail]

@TheAlternativeSoul awwww thanks. I have a feeling like people will be asking that from now on.

[TheAlternativeSoul]

@lesliefoundhergrail They probably will.

[quelbrie]

You are brilliant! :D

[Falowair]

This was just... well done.

[vlogchannelthingy]

*slaps* See what I did there? I slapped you in an attempt to end the vicious cycle, only to begin the same vicious cycle on a personal level.

[MissMunchkin7]

.........

[lesliefoundhergrail]

@MissMunchkin7 yes ma'am?

[ItsSophey]

haha thsi was hilirious.. made my day!

thanks leslie

[aquatius5]

I so agree with this. I think maybe the reason people put these explanations in the video and not the info box is because some people never bother to read it and will even ask questions answered in the description. I admit, I'm guilty of putting bloopers at the end of my videos >>

[lesliefoundhergrail]

@aquatius5 oh pish. The viewers will learn, eventually, at least I think that's what should happen.

[aquatius5]

@lesliefoundhergrail No I totally agree. It shouldn't be the video maker's responsibility to explain themselves to the audience D:<

[busybeingbla]

LESLIE. Go on.

I am always thinking in vicious cycles.

Your videos are awesome. :) Are you satisfied, btw, with the results of your "research" about Mickey Mouse? :D

[Marteezels]

Bahahaha I love you! xD

Oh...quick question.

How exactly did you lose your grail in the first place?

(see what I did there? I made a witty joke about your user name. You've taught me so much in just one video.)

[lesliefoundhergrail]

@Marteezels I feel like I lost my grail at birth, and I found it once my passion was realized. It's my personal grail.

[MizEmiryEmosBFF]

this is the first vidoe ive favorited in months. thank you for being awesome.

[lesliefoundhergrail]

@MizEmiryEmosBFF aww thanks! I didn't realize this video was favorite-worthy.

[nerdygeekydorkygirl]

I love your rants!

[TheDakala]

I love your videos more and more everyday. :3

[puretunesmusic]

You've just described every conversation I've had for the past 3 years!

[beyondthebluu]

lol you're a good speaker
