Don't give up

[selfreliantboy]

Hey my friend ! I know the feeling not getting as popular as I hoped . thanks for the video . Im gona keep trying .

[AJsOwner]

Derek: you're unique! Talented, funny, well spoken. I just increased your subscriber count by one. Don't give up. 

[marty800]

if this is you working hard then you better learn how to use a mop. speak from your dick next time youll make more sense. maybe show it too then at least youd have something kind of interesting to talk about. you remind me of poorrly made burnt cookie that someone forgot to add sugar to the batter of. ugh, get a tan

[kokocipher]

I subscribed your channel right away 'cause of this video. Thanks for speaking from your heart rather than from a script.

[1ghostmistress]

Your spirit is very high, I know I am late to watch your videos, but this one is my favorite by far. A lot of people give up in big projects, you gave it all. I've been thinking of making my own, but I have not had the guts to do so, but after watching this I think I am. You are a very genuine person, someone who has a lot to say, I like it, I hope maybe in the future you'll be able to carry on and make more videos because you are very great at it.

[00lian00]

that's so sweet! don't let your ego be influenced by numbers, do it for yourself, there must be a reason, why so many people have already watched your videos.. even if you won't be in the hall of fame ;)

[brokenfairydoll]

I wish you all the best!! <3<3<3<3<3<3<3

[kbaez22]

DONT GIVE UP YOUR AWESOME

[Leogriffen]

3:09 wtf is an arty???

[sassyjane2112]

Ha! Hollywood is NOT the real world. Quite the contrary

[funfun4mee]

Dont give up!!

[Sk8rAlek]

you are cool

[Rizo08]

Hello! I've just discovered sigafoo. :)

I've started vlogging at the beginning of this summer. I like your vids.

I'll spread the word about you even if Chocolate Rain voice isn't your thing. :))

[wesleysonic]

You were about to cry at the end lol. I have subscribed to you for this video. I watched your runescape acc hacked videos before this one.

[gabrielfrancois]

Have you ever felt satisfied at some point making your videos?..because satisfaction is the end. Be hungrier. Making it big is all up to you bro; come to Hollywood first and you'll figure out how to make it then ... there are open mic stages and comedy schools like UCB where students get to perform every week in front of an audience in the heart of Hollywood. That would not only give you exposure but also introduce you to people who could show you the ropes. About youtube: don't quit... MOVE ON.

[misspelled07]

you're hilarious, I love your videos, they're so awesome. Plus you're adorable, I'd be very sad if you ever stoped.

[ReynaldinoM]

He's absolutely right.. don't give up x D

[getoffthefloor]

and only two other girls auditioned and they're both beasts at acting and i was like i'm never gonna be a supersicknasty beast at acting and become really famous but idk you're right who cares it's like you DO care but it's not that big of a deal but it STILL SUCKS and it's just and i just want to talk for 11 minutes straight about it too but then everyone thinks you want sympathy and you don't you're just saying, it sucks

[getoffthefloor]

oh my god i know exactly what youy;re talking about . i didn't get a part in this short film that i auditioned for

[xxretrocandyxx]

Personally, I don't think it's egotistical to want to be big and famous. It's not strange to want to be recognized for what you do. I think you're doing a pretty good job and I find you funny. I think you're doing a great job as I don't take critiscm well and it's people like you who are bound to get lots. For almost anything. From marking a sarcy comment to the content of your videos. I think you're inspiring so DON'T GIVE UP!

he is hot though

[funfun4mee]

He is so hot!

Ugh, Im so jealous... all we have at my school are hot but super immature guys and he doesnt seem immature at all

[misstheoldy4h00]

You seem like a passionate guy. I think you should consider really finding something meaningful to do an throwing yourself into it. Not that YouTube can't be a venue for something meaningful, but maybe you should keep up some of the humor but also add other videos where you take a stand on something.

[AngelsWithAttitude1]

YOUR BUCKING AWESOME!!! ^_^

Thats right don't give up!!!!!!

I luv your vids!

I subcribed you btw!!

[AllieIsBored]

Everyone wants to be a celebrity. There's just not enough room for everyone on top.

[overlorded]

Most famous youtubers are just plain crazy, well atleast acting crazy :S

[anim3z0mbi3]

laugh, and comment. Plus, they may tell other people about your vids, and then you will get even more viewers. So, what Im trying to say is that you should just try and keep up the really funny stuff and you will gain viewers. And also, dont worry so much about being "famous". Just have fun making the videos, and enjoy the ride. By the way, I think your videos are HILARIOUS. I have recently become a subscriber, too! So sorry for rambling, heh heh ^-^"

-Dean

[anim3z0mbi3]

Hey, don't get so upset. I know how you feel... well, sort of. Y'know, I don't think people really just forget about ya, or just leave ur account forever. Sometimes, I'll see that a website I like that has funny vidz or flashes will stop making them for awhile. People might just forget about them for awhile, but eventually they will get bored and remember, "Oh hey! I remember that guy with all his funny stuff, ill go check him out." Then they will see all the new stuff you have, and (cont.)

[assas170]

you seem like a nice guy...everyone wanna be famous really

[GoApeShyte]

"I dont have a 30 sec video of me getting hit in the nuts. I'm not chocolate rain." lol Sigafoo, just make your videos. You'll find your niche, obviously your making an impact.

[mahcuz]

Do this for you.

Don't try too hard.

Do what makes you happy.

Don't worry if others are happy.

[music4lif]

please, dear, stop worrying so much. take a deep breath. drink some water. stop feeling sorry for yourself. you are definitely more appreciated than you think you are! you create wonderful videos, please don't stop doing that! everyone has those moments. but now it is time to move on, overcome this obstacle. don't put yourself down. don't hold yourself back. have confidence in yourself, for if you don't, then who is to have confidence in you? I HAVE FAITH IN YOU, SIGAFOO. Please don't give up.<3

[PhrostCope]

Sig, Look at it at a 5 step process.

I will give you a hint.

You are at step 2.

"Just win baby"

[DanCamEntertainment]

Sigafoo, I know for a fact that you're not the only one who wants to be a YouTube celebrity. So do we

-Dan

[onekill7]

Hey, don't stop making videos no matter how much watchers or subscribers you have. Like the title of this video Never Give Up.  This is onekill7. Don't forget it!

[jparso3]

[mcduper101]

[Hootdidihoo7]

Dude do you have a Myspace???

[BenTile]

i will support you once i save up for a cheap camera of my own.

[wannabe922]

dude, i want to be a comedian when im older and u have the talent to get famous-alot of people talk shit to u because they are jealous cause they arent funny or they are outcasts- i agree sum things arent that funny but its not easy coming up with funny jokes that are original i give u 5* man, cause you put alot of work into ur videos, dont let douchebags get to u who call u names, do it for yourself!!

[BenTile]

where for me i envy him and his funniness and obsess over the fact im not... teach me your ways sigafoo

[maruske845]

Don't give Up.

I do have made a post it note, reminding me to never get up.

because one day we will look back, and see it's all worth it.

and sigafoo don't you give up!

I know I'm not any time soon

[ingii89]

Hey Derek!I hope you read this. But you really have to cheer up, cause I really like your videos. Especially the videos where you just talk to us and be yourself. I really like you Derek and I think a lot of other subscribers like you too. And you already have 2000 subribers! And those subscribers are from all of there world. Take me for example: I live in the Netherlands, Europe :). You're already reaching people that live that far away.

[HisManifest]

Nothing last forever man. Don't be so hard on yourself.

[drew5211]

Hey Bro trust me your awesome...please keep it up...your an insperation to all of us...I wish i could shake your hand hahahah you made my day yesterday when i watched a couple of your videos so i subscribed. Please keep it up!

[registerednerd]

just be you, if people don't like it, tough, if they love the you that you put on, they aren't loving the real you. Keep it real. I know it's been a little wile since you posted this video, but if you're still on the down-and-outs, things will get better, I've had the runaround of life too, you'll end up where you need to be.

[jspinski92]

i love you sigafoo, please dont leave

[DTtwinsangry]

How to beconme partner?

[Kherdon]

o noes! D=

i really don't want you to leave youtube... you were one of my favorite people...

man, do you have an aim?

[wildcats087]

Give up comedy...I know it must hurt, but you are not inspiring, you are ugly and you sound effeminate.

[BenTile]

keep opinions like that to your self i think he is funny, and he inspires me. i am sorry for my rudeness but it is cruel to say such things

[koi44]

to be honest mate, I loved you NOTHING LIKE LIFE, but I am not a fan of your comedy. I know that must be hurtful because I know how much you worked on it. I like this video for example because I see the real person, and I love you for that. If that helps, great. But seriously, you are one of the few people I watch. Please don't give up on us, even if some of us gave up on you.

[r053]

you're trying too hard to impress people. stay true to yourself and do what YOU want to do, not what you think will appeal to the masses.

Why does it matter if you "make it big" or not?

[shooterdemon1]

dont give up

[shooterdemon1]

ahh....man i cant give up man im new at watching ur shows and i already like them man u just cant give up u have to keep on pushin your self u kno what i mean just dont give up NEVER NEVER!!! :)

[1insertbandnamehere1]

youve reached me buddy

[sigafoo]

:D I'm glad

[meleis10]

Why don't you talk to Buck...cuz he seems to be one of your role models..and maybe he can help you!

[sigafoo]

I did :]

We talked in e-mails though :p

[meleis10]

I just now got this!

Seriously..just start doing it more!

[Tarbars]

derrickcomedy doesn't log on anymore but he still has his scubscribers, wtf!

[vrambo]

sigafoo, would you rather have subscribers that are subscribed to you because you're "important" or because they really like you and your videos?

[BenTile]

Sigafoo you rule dont ever stop being awesome, i mean you.....

[happymcasian]

Dont give up.

[CrayolaaWonderr]

Aww.

Derek! I love you!

Don't quit on us. I'd be so sad.

When you talk, its like you channel me in and I can't stop watching.

[HisManifest]

Why won't you be returning to college?

Financial issues?

Bad grades?

Family Problems?

[ZeroPunkDreamer]

Woah I needed this video. I recently changed my style of videos and I dont have a lot of people watching me, certainly not as much as you. I do want to be bigger but it takes me forever to get a video together, then I feel bad and so on...thanks man

[Gorle2]

you seem to subscribe to the same people as me :)

and dont let it get to you. if you want more people you could TRY to get buck to give you a plug in a video like he does for some people

[arsenalpredator]

LOl, dude not everyone gets big on youtube.

[hibecca]

aw keep on making videos i love them :)

[nraminn]

nice video sigafoo, I completely know what you are going through. I have those moments, and it's not just with youtube. You know, the internet is new, and some of the people here on youtube may be here for like 10 years or something. amazing, it's an experience that's never been felt. Anyway, your videos are awesome, and I don't think you should stop. Becoming big isn't always what you want either. I mean, as long as you have en ever growing fan base, that's still good. 2k fans is great!

ramin

[mattlaw25]

You know, one of the things I have come to admire about some of the folks here on the tubes is their desire to make videos for themselves, and not other people. I think we as human beings so often yearn for the approval and compliments of others that we allow it to cloud our judgment and quite possibly not indulge in a passion that we love. Derek, if you love to make videos you should - if 1 person watches or 5,000,000 people watch - make videos for YOU, not for anyone else.

[DrummergirlKJ]

Sigafoo-

The thing that sucks in the world of the arts it's not what you know, It's WHO you know that helps. I think the reason I subscribed to your vids is because of how down to earth you are, how you can make me laugh, but You don't need to, and I can still get something out of your vids. Follow your own advice, don't give up.

[kingdeputtenham]

Siggy, when a man (you) come to a DETOUR in their thoughts and come face to face with a wall...a window will open in that wall for you to see the new path you must follow. Take that road, listen to that 'inner voice' we all have...listen to friends...and it will come. Me? I begin again and use childhood experiences as a kickoff point. You have yet to let me down nor any subscribers who are also friends.

Remember Shakespeare...'above all else, this do...unto thine own self be true'

[lilliesnlilacs]

u look like u were crying .

awhh's

[TayZonday]

Everyone goes through this ;-)

[BenTile]

you inspire me i just don't get much time to do this kind of stuff

[mrmilomannowra]

i wouldnt mind 2000 subscribers mate, i got a few i think???

anyways I never know whats good or bad on this site, its always watched regardless....

[aysha52]

believe in yourself!

[diriger]

So this was a little angsty.

But I do like you. People like you. <3

[losermythpatheloser]

you'll be able to come back! i loved the channel S. in my opinion you think too much about what people would like.just do what you feel, people love that=][[i forgive you!]]

nice inspirational music

[philzass]

no sigafoo live was so much fun you should still do it ur always hilarious

[Drakose123]

how is this spam?

[Gidthekid803]

Long Live Sigafoo!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[gingoproductions]

preach it brother!!

the last part sounded like it was from a movie...

a sigafoo movie

[xnatko]

Ugh, I know what you mean.

I haven't been very motivated either. =/

[elementskatepunk]

YOUR VIDEOS ROCK!!!!

AND YOU KNOW BIG WORDS THAT ARE FAR GREATER THEN MINE!!!

Well of course because your sigafoo!

[Kazuki1993]

so true.. so true..

[cartmanrules52]

I love your videos, you always do a good job no matter the format. I think it is really cool that you are trying your best to make them better. I feel bad that I don't comment that often,sorry. I have been recommending your videos to my friends! They think your funny! As for the whole becoming big thing, there is no doubt in my mind that someone will give you your shot. I am just trying to say thank you for the videos and the positive words....Way to be a hero!!!!

[grac3al3xandra]

i love you :] I will keep watching them all.. :]

[sigafoo]

woot :D +1 view count

[PinkPoloShirt]

Very inspirational. It really upsets me that you have less views now and that some people have stopped watching your videos. I think to win them back you should post some cool new comedy videos.

[sigafoo]

I'm hoping the same thing... telling you're friends would help ;). But yeah, I'm hoping by keeping up the consistency will help me get more consistent views :]

[lovetotag]

it must seem like that but nothing like life is good and ur one of the best youtubers on here so don't worry ok. ur just like me ut better and i know how u feel

[sigafoo]

Well I'm glad you like nothing like life, I just hope my next time will be good as this one was :]

[verklin]

Usually on all your videos i just a comment saying, "sigafoo is the man."

but this one i will say a little more.

I first saw your video about the daxflame real or fake stuff. I thought that was some of your best work because you were really inspired and trying to figure out what was the deal with him. Eventually i think you should make it some where. What college do you go to. Search verklin in to youtube or google to learn more about me.

[ZwHowden]

i completely agree, i also found out about the sigafooage from the faxflame exposed video, and i totally dont see why you dont have more subscribers or more views or more comments.

but i'm sure they are going to come :)

i sub'd back when you had like 500-800 subs.

at least when you hit the 100,000 subs i can say "i was there when you had under 1000"

keep it up, you'll get your rewards :)

[sigafoo]

lol, well you might have to wait for a while for that to happen :p. I know a lot of people got on my band wagon for the daxflame thing. Though i'm not really into that stuff anymore, it was an interesting experience to investigate that :]. I'm glad you all enjoyed it.

[abelarno]

Sigafoo is my guru :P

[sigafoo]

Booyah, now it's just a fact not egotism :p

[DAVEUSE]

You seem to be a very caring person. Go study to become a doctor.

[sigafoo]

Haha, well being a doctor would be pretty awesome, but I don't know if could be in school that long :p

[DAVEUSE]

What about a probation officer?

[peron75]

Thanks for being with me thru the long hawl!

I dont think you are wrong to want to be bigger! I think they key is to stay visable and keep making videos. My only viral video is my two girls one cup reaction!

I loved watching you be so honest!

Subscribed and Faved BUCK

[sigafoo]

Thanks Buck :D

[Keanu212]

Skip negative thoughts man, just let it flow, dont think about numbers. Clear your head from all these " have to do´s" and just let it go. In the end honesty goes all the way, and do remember that some of these people that become "big" many of us dont understand wtf that dude did to get there lol, cause that dude cant joke for s*it. Clear your head and let it just flow along, who knows where life will take you.

[sigafoo]

Yeah I know, that's what I'm trying to do in some sense. Just keep making videos, stop worrying about this stuff, and just make the best videos I possibly can :]. Just trying to keep with the flow :D

[DFAnimations]

Hey. You're videos are still really good! Even if you think 2,000 subscribers isn't that many, you at least know you're making videos for an audience, unlike alot of youtubers who dont have any subscribers. Keep up the brilliant video making, because youtube for me without sigafoo would be alot less fun.

[sigafoo]

Well I know 2000 is a lot, but it's like. Once you get to 2000, it doesn't seem like a lot. I'm sure that there's youtubers out there who think 10,000 is a little :p. Anyway, I'm going to try to keep up the good videos! Thanks for the comment!

[mommyd23]

here's what i think. The ppl who are "big" on youtube, became big because of their great material, or whatever it was about them. Not because they Wanted to become big. Not that that's a problem, but you have to realize that if you really want to entertain, and not JUST get big.. you have to do A LOT of work, no matter how you feel. If you don't, then you just don't want it bad enough OR you just don't have "it". Not everyone does. Good luck!

[sigafoo]

Well I mean I _try_ to make good videos, which to in turn make me big :p. But I get what you're saying, I'm just going to try keep on keeping on if I get big then great, if not, it happens, life goes on :]

[nedwarp]

i admit i stopped watching your videos, this is the first one i've seen in a while, but i think i will watch the next ones you make.

[sigafoo]

Well thanks for the honesty, god knows I stopped watching peoples videos. Well I hope with my nexts ones i'll win you back ;)

[3535358]

Sigafoo...it was nice of you to express your feelings like this to your audience. Sometimes it's good to take off the mask and reveal our true selves...much respect for that...cause it was obvious it came from the heart.

No, don't give up...you have so much to offer. Your talents are mind blowing...your sense of humor...amazing. Just keep at it, in due time...bang...it will happen...the success you desire.

Take care Sigafoo...luv you man, even if I don't know you...I'm a fan :D

Marc

[sigafoo]

Thanks Marc :], it is hard to express my feelings. I mean I know this needs to be up here, but it feels weird for me to express myself and have it up for everyone to see. I'm glad you like my sense of humor, so hopefully you'll like my videos soon to come out :D. thanks for the comment!

[abelarno]

Your just a little unlucky, maby tomorrow a big website or something like that will spot you, and there will be so many subscribers!

If i had a camera, you would inspire me of making video's.

Make the video's for your joy and fun, and not for the subscribers, there just a little part of the fun. Do it for yourself!

[sigafoo]

Well if you ever do get a camera, do send me a message I'd love to see your videos :]. Maybe some big site will pick up my videos, probably not, but hey, we can keep on trying :]

[Vergast]

ah sigafoo, im sorry i never comment!

Dont feel down i like all your vids! And for comments its quailty not quantity ya know? Id rather have one hot gf than 5 semi hot girls!

And you have inspired me anyway to make vids, maybe not good vids like yours but hey! Your not letting us down! Hey man its ok, if youtube lost you itd lose a very very good part of it. I mean i have what a total of 50 veiws or somthing. And your right, it was worth it to make em. I wont give up if you dont!

[sigafoo]

Haha, the girl comment made me laugh. Hey, it's okay, god knows I rarely ever comment other peoples videos. And I won't give up, so you don't either!

[RojiraProductions]

Here's an excellent quote from Rocky Balboa that may be relevant here:

"It's not about how hard you can hit, it's about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward, how much you can take and keep moving forward....."

A theory I've seen proven by many filmmakers is doing as many projects you can and keep going forward no matter how small or how little recognition they get. Eventually you will find that project that hits.

So keep up with your vids and try not to fall into despair :)

[sigafoo]

Trying not to fall in despair :p. That's a very good quote I like it a bunch :). A little big for a post-it, but sometime I'll keep in mind :].

[imcjbeyotch]

Oh, cmooon sigafoo. Your doin really good! I mean, half of the youtube accounts dont even have videos. I know i dont, its just good that your putting yourself out there. And im really glad you decided not to give up. It would be a true loss

[sigafoo]

Thank you, yeah I mean you got to keep everything in perspective, it's just hard sometimes, ya know. Thanks for the comment :]

[imcjbeyotch]

Ya, your welcome. I really do enjoy your vids (it was so freakin hard not to just say "FIRST!!!" tho)
