Reenactment #53: A Charlie Brown Christmas

[Zooroonies]

your best reenactment yet!

[jcarey1983]

I like it!

[LINKGREEN09]

That was AWESOME..You did a great job.

[3ISAMAGICNUMBR]

You ever suck your thumb for like 2 seconds just to see what it tastes like again and than realize that it tastes like total shit, and you don't understand why you did it in the first place?

[CreativeGuy]

Too awesome! I love this cartoon!!

[cdoftx]

This guy's just copying that one Christmas cartoon

[WarriorOfHonor16]

@cdoftx o.0

[ColinFowler]

@cdoftx That's the point clod

[sartanko]

Oh dear madness!

[SwampLord9]

Oh hai, Charlie Brown.

[aC1dxN1gHtM4rEs]

brilliant! aahaha

[40Pacino]

I just want to say that I think it's funny that even though you can't put anything religious on television anymore, we always see this Charlie Brown, with this scene on abc every year.

[Lewie82]

GOOD GRIEF!

[quenchgumyumyum]

i was staring at my picture of Jasper and Alice kissing in eclipse...srry

[Moe99911]

I was expecting

"...good grief" at 1:33

[mom3grammy4]

haha very well done!!!

[DrSeussPwns]

And that's what Christmas is all about, Charlie Brown.

[getback961]

Ever thought about doing the "Have you been eavesdropping?" scene from the lord of the rings? Btw what software do you use to edit your reenactments?

[KemaCanJam]

i'm in love lOl

[sweetcandy22001]

this is awesome, can you do the muppets?

[vdd]

Can you do Gule Vs Bison from the live action Street Fighter Film? Van Damme Vs Raul Julia = BUYS!!!

[RocknForJesus]

This video is so politically incorrect.

[poohblover16]

This is awesome :)

[MajkaTVboi]

i love the fast motions when you walk

[sambluecat1]

i dont think he sounded irish

[smoodkrim]

@sambluecat1 I also caught the irish accent

[LanesClassicComedy95]

win

[samohtzoo]

sorry i'm just not feeling it.could you have charlie brown ,shave his head....thanks,i like your stuff..........tom

[whitedawn215]

Lol, noone can reenact Charlie Brown. It's a cartoon, just the motions from cartoons too real life just dont work.

[thebredls]

haha this is legit haha

[recruiting]

Nice...

[catbass93]

What kind of accent did you use for Linus? At first I thought it sounded Swedish, then it sounded vaguely Irish. Just wondering.

[FLPman]

@catbass93

i can hear the vague irishness

[OMGitsallieexx]

LOL:) awesome.

[loppypoo]

Grate job mate :)

[bmuller85]

Love that you used the same font from A Christmas Story...have you done a reenactment of that movie???

[bmuller85]

Duh, you have, just remembered, haha!

[brokenheartpro]

yea he has

[hippiechick10113]

LMFAO awesome

[Flaheat]

Haha. That was great.

[IndyCarGirl93]

Lol good job :D

[oancitizen]

Hm, not a movie, but a tv special...

Brandon, have you thought about branching out into TV reenactments? Like, say, the Carousel scene from Mad Men, the Arrested Development chicken bit, one of Bartlet's speeches from The West Wing, Elaine's first encounter with the Soup Nazi or something along those lines.

[KyomiHaru]

that's a beautiful cahrlie brown shirt xD

great job, as always

[Gargess]

That was sweet, Brendan.

[ACrazyLawyer]

it says Brandon in like the first 5 seconds...

[1995jordan]

Wow.... Just wow... roflmao xDDDD

[PkKillz]

mann... you been watching to much charlie brown foo =/ lmao jk cool :]

[havenotdohave]

FireGodVlad,

Its dupBrandon :P

[FireGodVlad]

are there 2 guys or its just one? cuz i know one is Brandon, and the other guy, is he brandon's brother?

[TheXGamer12]

@FireGodVlad just one guy

[akaRubyHeart]

Vlad, both parts are played by Brandon Hardesty. He's done a ton of reenactments, and he has played 99.9% of all parts, even when there are 4 or 5 people in the scene. Brandon is incredible! You should subscribe to his channel and check out his past videos.

[Frito1020]

I'd really like to see a Fear and loathing reenactment. nice job on this one by the way.

[TheSkadoosh1]

@ 1:07 you can see the cartoon paused on his laptop in the background

[esparka]

Yes, I caught a bit o' Irish, as well. Fun remembrance.

[Carnage1235]

Well, i'm glad it wasn't just me. I haven't watched Charlie Brown in a while, but Lynus was never Irish was he?

[Carnage1235]

I remember he had a bit of a lisp, but not really an accent.

[RancidxRegicide]

Yo Brandon your nippin at 1:05 (:

[roadhockey]

Beautiful.

[WikkitJuggalo]

nice job :)))

[Three6CloghessyA]

u nailed the lynus accent.

[skatallica76]

hahahah you're awesome brandon!

[fattydelicious]

That is actually a cool t-shirt

[Carnage1235]

Why is Lynus irish? But apart from that, very nice, especially all the motions and gestures.

[Schpene]

Merry Christmas Artie! ;) (a bit late, yeah i know)

I just wanted to say that you were absolutely amazing in the book of love! :D

I didn't dare to see it earlier because I didn't think I would be able to take you seriously after all the crazy faces and so on. But I did take you seriously! And I found your acting very humoristic! So, to sum all the compliments...

Keep it up! You'll be a great star one day;)

Love (can you say love to another guy?) from your possibly biggest fan in sweden! =D

[Chinballz]

@Schpene Hörru, utmanar du mig som biggest-fan-in-sweden?

[adamburgess90]

you were amazing in AP: book of love

[TheJingleMan]

"Of all the Charlie Browns in the world you're the Charlie Browniest!"

[Potatis1337]

Good job, Brandon! =)

[Narcrisius]

I love the Linus impression. Not accurate, but extremely hilarious.

[folius69]

awesome as always

[monkeydookies]

Haha! That's hilarious. Good job, man.

[estestaylor]

I'm ever amazed at the general public, and their lack of intellect or understanding.

HE IS MIMICKING THE PEANUTS CARTOON. Of course the acting is robotic, and the dialogue kind of goofy.

Brandon rocks.

[Timones1990]

@VastlyFoggyDude u said these things but u have subscribed him... why ??

[VastlyFoggyDude]

i share this account with my friend. she subscriced to him

[glipa]

i love you, you are the best. I am an ardent fan, what can i say.... ever since "strange faces and noises" you've captured my heart. :)

[April1442]

hahahaha made my christmas

[LtSticky]

Dude, you gotta do the Charlie Brown Dance.

[lamberto94]

I'd love to see you do a Saw film reenactment :)

[VastlyFoggyDude]

this sucks. you can't act-.-

[imjustakid724]

@VastlyFoggyDude OMG are you serious?! I totally saw Charlie Brown in my head when I watched this. And I haven't even seen the movie. This was awesome.

[machete15]

@VastlyFoggyDude he must be 10 or 12

[VastlyFoggyDude]

well he acts like a creep.

[machete15]

not arti! im talking bout VastlyFoggydude dam you people rating my shit -5 for no reason

[SlRDancealot]

Maybe you should check out his other videos before you judge him.

Anyhoo, I can't believe you actually reenacted a cartoon that well, good job.

[VastlyFoggyDude]

i know his videos.-.- he acts like a child....-.-

[Napsyout]

As a kid I knew the artist of Charlie Brown Charles Schultz. We are both from the same town.

[crazyjose111]

Brandon your old news. saw the trailer for the nwew american pie an i didnt even see you in it. Looks like shit anyways

[Napsyout]

He's in it.I seen him.Twice.

[imjustakid724]

@crazyjose111 I saw the trailer and I saw Brandon in it. Watch it again, he's there. And OF COURSE it looks like shit. It's another American Pie movie.The only reasons people watch them are to see guys acting like douchebags, girls kissing, and of course, BOOBS.

[Sierra117Hunter]

EPIC FAIL!!!

[hockeymo]

awesome!!

[IHATEMYBROTHER2]

great!

[dkmunyan]

[dolfsvlog]

[fireblade223]

[TheJerm78]

[BaritoneSammy]

[DesireeandJasmine]

[jivekata]

Your Linus sounds an awful lot like Rick Steves.

[sakurasugoi]

[milkybardamo]

[brigandtea]

[Arlenamadra]

uhmhm i really don't know why it's so hard to find some cool guys on you tube!

[MeeshellaWella]

amazing. love it.

[davidpwithun]

this is awesomeness

[LiamaBean]

love it

[MajinThurp]

lol

[applepie1414]

im impressed

[applepie1414]

wow, you even have the walking down

[TiminPhoenix]

Why hasn't some network or other media concern not snapped this guy up yet?

Seriously, I know almost all TV folks are non-talent hacks, you just have to watch what's put out there. But surely, some concern could build a project around someone so talented.

[Describingthelost]

he is actually featured in one movie, i forgot what it is but he has the trailer or his bit in it in his movies section.

[liefur]

@Describingthelost

bart got a room (decent movie and cast)

and also some yet to be released iteration of the american pie series

[janusbondi]

@TiminPhoenix. He actually is in American pie: The book of love! :P

[Anj2085]

omg love it

[F29Dfanatic5]

not bad..happy holidays

[ronofdepere]

ha ha ha pro

[dl6omen]

Nice one Brandon keep it up. Still with you 100%

Oh and I forgot to tell you gj on your movie roles

[supermanny73]

this was perfect. Thanks for posting.

[moviedude1500]

very good, brandon!!!

[keethanhawk]

I like it

[amhebbel]

Couldn't of picked a better scene. Linus tells it like it is. The true meaning of Christmas, and you have a blessed one.

[4anilem]

i'm just surprised that you re-enactment of a cartoon. nicely done, by the way.

[katanaboy995]

Merry Christmas

[KolikaLove]

Hahahahah that was pretty danged good!

[AMVoverlord]

omg, i might be mistaken but, wernt u on the new american pie artie?! someone correct me if im rong!

[ilovefrodo125]

@AMVoverlord he was

[i2310]

he is on the movie actually he has a movie promoting it

[i2310]

i ment a video promoting it

[NothingSound]

meant

[JodieinTX]

yes, he is on american pie

[davidngo4415]

best re-enactment of a cartoon ever.

[aurlis2012]

what in name of fuck? supposed to be a viral video or something

[ORCandHUMANs]

hehe gr8 idea

[TheLonelyImmortal]

But that's NOT what christmas is all about. It's a secular holiday with pagan roots. All the Christians ever did for Christmas is hijack it and insert jesus into it.

[OnlyStupidUsernames]

Well done, thankyou for telling us all what we knew already thanks to wikipedia

[dovermoreno]

Ok, that was PRETTY good but NOW I want you to do the scene with Charlie Brown and Linus as Hispanics in federal prison and instead of the monologue on Christmas, Linus quotes a passage from Dante's Inferno.

Aaaaaaaaaaand ACTION !!

[lexiconlover]

dude, acting out a cartoon? Is that easier or much harder? lol

[darthguy3]

I like how you included the cartoonish style of holding one pose for many seconds, because of lazy animators :)

[nightout]

everyone know this mother fucker in a movie right.. fucking sweeeeeet son!!

[PamelaJ03]

This is great! I love it.

[Datadog]

Well done!

[Flex3182]

Linus sounds pretty irish

[wildflower12]

He actually does, if you listen to the actual cartoon, Brandon does a really good job of catching Linus's goofy accent.

[epohnopulse]

No, he just can't stop sucking on his teeth in ever skit he does.

But he is funny as all hell.

[BIAcKr0sEz]

linus FTW

[Candyshow1014]

Nice video. You walk very funny

[MoltenPlastic]

I always loved that part of the film.

They just don't make Christian Christmas Movies anymore.

[RepoBaxil]

Sadly, you're right :(

[ZippermouthDune]

agreed!

[SkillerNerd]

Good job :P.

[ConstipatedBanana]

haha XD

[rkolegendkiller31]

Awesome job

[zoggman2000]

Another cool video. Thanks Brandon!

[caedmonscall99]

Good job, Brandon. That would be my favorite scene from that cartoon as well.

[016899]

I enjoy your linus voice.

[e4gail]

Ah youtube and religion - proving yet again most humans are very tolerant of others beliefs - Keep it classy folks

[bbonnin166]

this video is fake. so fake all of it

[clem2511]

...what do you mean it's "fake?" It's a reenactment, what were you expecting?

[KAJAproduction]

you fail at life bbonnin166

[casey963]

I would hope so... It be too weird if it wasnt.

[BloodyMunstersVideos]

This is easily your most ambitious project yet...transforming a cartoon scene into film. Well done :)

[OverlordJake]

really cool

[maggot666punk]

My favorite part was when he thought Christmas was all about "teh jeebus" It's about the season of winter. The festival of Yule and the celebration of the winter solstice,is what Christmas is all about.

[zbat11220]

My favorite part was when he talked about Christmas, not Yule. Oops. I guess I'm feeding the troll with this comment.

[maggot666punk]

Actually, no you're not. I was making a true statement.

[finneyfaery]

love how you made linus sound irish or something.. rotfl..

[Norogoth]

@Sasqachlovebananas Troll

[JEFF131424]

sasqach you love men

[JEFF131424]

you spelled babies wrong

[smokes2468]

You are one creative son of a bitch.

[Anelson2468]

Awesome. I just watched this movie this morning, LoL.

[TheJasenator]

Christmas - Capitalism at it's finest.

[iloveme1415]

linus voice ftw

[kietakas]

Good acting.

[Foolishdestruction]

Lol... I never really noteced how awckward their movements would be if they were real people lol. Thanks for that.

[tsukitsune]

haha, that was great (:

[jeremyfrancis]

@Sasqachlovebananas nice spelling, chico... your comment has lost validity. not that it really had any to begin with...
