Me and You

[Dissruptance]

I've been watching this video from 2011 all the way to 2012

It's fucking special.

[DavidTanisDreams]

Rosencrantz and Guildenstern would be proud.

[AstraVex]

Who's on first base?

[mindauggas]

just label the guy on the right me and the guy on the left you ... then it's easier to keep up ...

[URNemesis108]

An existential take on Abbot and Costello? 5/5

[Gjerstad]

Indexicals can be a bitch if you don't realize that they are indexicals.

[PADDYzIRISHzMAN]

omg i get it :D

[zecocolt]

hahaha

[metalsaw666]

lol i saw something like this before. it's not that confusing if ur intelligent.

[srh1502]

pwned :D

[xxfucyuhx]

lmfao WTF ?

[FreakyIceChick]

You must have a lot of time on your hands to be able to make such a thing that has to actually make sense. I got most of it but I know if I were to ever to come up wtih such I thing I think I would lose my mind xP but it was cool lol

[Fubbltea]

this is cool :D

[danxtur]

You have thinkt alot throw this

[migstar49]

I dont get it.

[reallyii09]

GAY! better on rush hour 3 way better

[rocketmen1]

I'm sorry but i don't find this all that clever all you did was use the words "me" and "you" and made them into names and one guy knows that and the other doesn't im sorry but this isn't all that brillent but it will confuse a hell lot of people and i would never think this up quite the way you did but it "evokes the muse" and of course you understand what that means so have a good day az and thank you for getting me thinking

[shortywanna]

wtf homos

[deyubuje]

if you are "you" and i am "me".. how is more stupid'? you or me?

[jakc101]

wat gives u the idea to make this video

[EvasGir]

O.o comfusion much o.O

[youwishyouhadhim]

ummm what?? you lost me after 0:02 YEAH

[sweet518]

This is worse than sex with a fat chick

[YoniIsrael]

so that means that i am me but for him i am you when for my self he is him or he is you so you is myself for him and you

did i get it right?

or is him is me when you is i?

[imbethyboo]

This was a waste of 1:07 -__-

[lovasip]

"I am me and you are you, who is the stupid me or you?"

We always made fun of each other with this as kids.

[xP1Joex]

Imagine how crazy that would seem if that was only an audio clip with no video.

[stoked87]

I felt like this after reading Buber

[supermaninhevin]

"i am you to you and me to me, but me is you to you, and me is me to me" lol...

[demaskas]

this was shown in my college Comp class, pronoun identification. EPIC WIN.

[LanceDirk]

I'm tricking me?

Are you?  ARE YOU?

[NeezmoK]

I watch this about once a day...love it. ^^

[AlexNewton1981]

seems appropriate, this reminds me of trying to fall asleep

[steveone4]

Who's on first? Genius!

[blizz3166]

this is great...

[FreeQuick]

Nice :p

[daz1200]

whats this about anyway??

[Tom96zeewolde]

haha very funny!!!

[wondergirl347]

LOL

[Qdft665]

its hella complicated lol

[woodyrimshot]

Exellent!!! Your artistic ability is inspiring to say the least...great stuff!

[itsbizbuz]

Impressive.

[tyleroakley]

This reminds me of Waiting for Godot.

Love it.

[LegatoBluesummers810]

OMG GREAT u nailed this subject perfectly.

[KrySync]

Its only funny because I get it.

The one on the left is Me and the one on the right is You

[GodlessHippie]

*passes out*

[Marcello777]

lol. gets me every time.

[vczdaeq]

Hahaha nice man

[hamster199]

woahh my head hurts

5 stars

[unpicked1]

LOL, that was good, man.

5 stars.

Well, take it easy.

[ohnoboohoo]

MY HEAD HURTS!!

[raincloudeyeballs]

wow. this was really great to watch. :)

[princeword]

Awesome video!!!

[tam705618]

hey this video and ur beetle in a box is very close to taoism, check that out, azrienoch.

[richieneels117]

makes sense because the fact that the chinese language is based on pictures and examples lends itself to a wittgensteinian view of words..... mebbe

[colordive]

I am you, and you are me. Both of which, are empty, intrinsically.

I (you) think, therefore I (you) am/are. But what if I'm/you're not thinking?

Does a rock have a ego? Does a rock have an intrinsic self? Everything is one, and you are everything. So where do you come into play? Where is this self everyone is talking about?

It was created by the mind alone.

Just throwing out some thoughts on the matter.

[Zachspyguy12]

I really like it.

[douv65]

not too busy at all

i think the design is rather ingenious

a well spent 16 hours

[lbizkit552]

lol That was great.

[ufofruit]

I'm not a Yew...Because I'm not a sheep.

I'm a me...Then again is a me some sort of an animal??

[ball00nboy]

That was awesome xD

[hashingtonwoliday]

nice....

tits.

[Zitty1337]

rofl, really funny hahaha... what a conversation, reminds me of a friend i have

[papparatzi]

Your really clever (y)

[DuragonLeMente]

Sounded like an Abbot and Costello routine.

[lordawesum]

You is relative.

[DatDonkey]

WUT THA HELL!

IM CUNFUZLED!

[appelsap4]

OMG, this is soo funny !! =D

[soapidelic]

You need to stop confusing Me!

[wayoftheforesthand]

but whos on third?

[spinhook888]

I think I just acquired split personality disorder.

[YaMamStudios]

THAT IS THE BEST THING I HAVE EVER SEEN IN MY LIFE!!!!!!!!! so confusing but after the 3rd watch you get the hang :)

SOOO clever :)

[dropapebble]

Check out this one black and white movie clip/performance. 'who's on third'. I've forgotten what its called, but they're at a baseball diamond and 'who' is on third. It is a similar concept and much more complicated and drawn out; extremely clever. I'm sure he must've realized how this is sorta based off of it.

[sy1234]

Wait, then who is I? =)

[MGX890]

i am

[popthecanz]

this is brilliant.

[missdivinestalls]

Wait. Who the hell are you!?

[Rollanoscopy]

Who's on first?

[Osaka13]

My god thats confusing

[aPaThEiSt]

Your timing (or editing) skills are immaculate.

Well worth the time put into it. But the logical fallacy first committed by the you, or me, on the left was never really explained!

[azrienoch]

Thanks!

It's not exactly a logical fallacy. The one on the right thinks these words are pronouns, and the other thinks they're propoer nouns. The one on the right realizes this at the end, which leads to:

"Hey you?"

"Goodnight, me."

[aPaThEiSt]

Ahh, when the one on the left said 'that makes me me', then the one on the right asked 'how does that make you you', so that does not refer to a logical fallacy?

Thanks.

[azrienoch]

Right. He's thinking, "Well, I'm either Me or You. I'm not neither. He's admitted I'm talking to You, so I must be Me." But you're right, that's what the one on the right is thinking, about the fallacy, which is why he asked, "How does that make you you?"

[Xraid32]

I got the impression that this was like a manifestation of the super ego in front of the ego. The ego being confused at the unexplainable appearance of the superego...begins to question its own and its companions existence. Through subjective experience, they build greater separation...yet they are united...and its no use thinking too much...but to say goodnight.

[JeeprzCreepers56]

One big headache.lol.

[Kikai93]

Good work on this one.

[kincy30]

i like it, its awsome and the fact that its busy adds to more of the story, awsome

[epicbore]

How very clever and reminiscent of Sesame Street ^.^ I like it. I wish I had such skills with video editing.

[abominableangel]

had to watch this twice to understand the premis lol

[dendrophilian]

"I/Me" means "Unit that says I/Me".

"You" means "Unit(s) that the unit who speaks is speaking to".

[Trollschool]

Well, my dear Az, I have a feeling that your belated adolescence will soon peak at around 5200 subscribers. After that, probably not much.

Oh, the loveliness of attention ... Oh, sweet Indian Summer.

What more can you do? Something beyond youtube, undoubtedly.

[azrienoch]

Nah. Those 1800 subs came from being featured, not this video. I've got the rest of youtube to conquer. ;)

[Trollschool]

Well, what I was trying to say is that you're worth much more than youtube.

But on the other hand I wouldn't have had that thought if you hadn't been on youtube.

Therefore perhaps you should conquer youtube?

[azrienoch]

Ohhhh, I thought the 'belated adolescence' bit was in reference to comedy. Gah, you and I are so bad at this. We need to sit down and make the Trollschool/azrienoch Dictionary.

I really appreciate the compliment. I really do. I don't think I'm quite at a point where I can stray from Youtube too much. 5000 isn't a lot of people, and I don't have any sort of basis elsewhere. Any ideas?

[Trollschool]

Well, I think we are quite similar in a mental sense, but also (unfortunately) alike in our economic situation. In point of fact, I am going to be moving out of my trailer later this year either into a larger trailer or a fixed based home. When that happens I would be happy to have you and your wife over to chew over possibilities, and for you both to experience my home grown ... tomatoes, carrots and some things more "esoteric". I'll let you guys know when (and if) the happy day arrives.

[elliotcheely]

i like this...but are you serious az?

[pchannell]

cute

[PenguineLord101]

lol wtf that is so funny

[hurleyGRANDE]

thats really smart. good job.

[ubiquitousdeity]

Clever.

[jamsyies]

Awesome. Haha, also, I got someone believing I was crazy enough to think I could teleport on ChaCha

[premed2]

Just watched it again—it may look too busy to YOU, but it doesn't look too busy to Me. :P

[kleonas92]

holy crap! nice job! :D

[novanine]

Lovely stuff. And very well made. Cheers!

[xalxii]

You tricked me. Awesome.

[360Degrez]

Its not too busy! Its great. Its really unique. Superb job.

[veryberryshiasan]

This looks like a really good commercial. But maybe that's just because I just watched ur ok coke thing lol.

[zeemillah]

Aha, finally, now we all know who's on first - Az!

[creator563]

another great vid keep it up!

[Stevetheninja115]

You are very good at making very intelligent videos, you are a very gifted and intelligent person

[Mephistophilus]

They have pills for this. j/k

Nice video again Azrienoch.

[EmmySushanaCulley]

Absolutley brilliant :) I can relate to this feeling ;)

[incipit1]

this reminds me of the personal discourse constantly running in one's mind. is one the speaker of the listener?

[peacemtn]

You are one STud.

[my666reality]

l m a o nicelydone.

[inexistenttruth]

Hmm... Well, I have come to the conclusion that I would like to debate you. I don't know why, on what topic, or when--but I thought you'd like to know.

Have a good day.

[azrienoch]

Okay, I have about 200 videos, the last dozen or so are comedy or entertainment. The remaining are pretty much all philosophical. Pick one (preferrably not one too old as I'm not inclined to defend many of them) and I just might respond.

[FrostyPhilosopher]

Who were you talking to here? I don't like how YouTube comments organize themselves. But, anyway... if it was me... I wasn't trying to attack your philosophy, just saying this reminded me of Fichte with the absolute I and the theoretical I and the practical I limiting each other and such. But yeah, Fichte does sound nasty... lol. :)

[FrostyPhilosopher]

"The I posits itself as self-positing." - Fichte

You make at least as much sense as Fichte.

[Trollschool]

I like Fichte cuz his name sounds nasty ...

[jutsigirl]

you=me=you lolz

[TheGuru614]

after seeing it 3 times i totally understand it lol

[AlexDatUNE]

this....was amazing....

[fromhereusa]

omgs lol

[LeSaMilano]

this raises the bar a tad. sheesh!

[nukie310]

Actually, I think this is one of your best videos. This one and Be Gay.

Keep it up. You're great.

[kayleewyatt]

cool!

[LordImmolation]

Damn right, dismiss the Cartesian certainty with satire!

[snowemerald]

hahahahaha i love the ending and the... awesome-ality of the video in general :P

[musosf]

Simply mind-blowing. A visual and philosophical feast.

[yecallekim]

This reminds me of a poem I wrote a long time ago. I love the artistic quality of this video. It's the sweetness!

[laslow8]

nice :D

[virvalens]

Me: 17 times

You: 26 times

***

:)

[no1funkydiva]

I'm glad I don't drop acid anymore, because this video would have just blown my mind.

[BrainDe2d]

bravo

[mistresslight]

alright....do you have a twin brother or is this all green screen?

[azrienoch]

It's all green screen. I have a twin brother, but I shipped him to Rowanda to DIE.

[yecallekim]

hee hee

[xmenluver]

u should run for president

[mahyarmohaghegh]

crack cocaine?

good vid ... yous?!?

[exDeathex]

Fucking awesome!

[anakin1814]

Oh my god Jeff...that was brilliant!

[t4swillia3]

i am always me, you are always you.

[vs127739]

ME You Me You You Me Fuck You

[youngestmm]

oddly enough I understood that.

crazay!

[mocachacha]

Wwhat? my brain hurts now

[TheMetzMachine]

My dad's in the room with me watching a Cardinals game right now... I'm just trying to figure out Who's on first?

[GrumpyEWalk]

Winner.

[shinigummi]

trippy as hell but makes a great point

[elliotcheely]

what great point? explain?

[Trollschool]

The use/meaning distinction. The Az on the left treats Me/You as proper names (his name is Me) while the one on the right treats them as grammatical signs. Hence the confusion.

[azrienoch]

Perfect!

[OMFGitsLULU]

lol this confuses me

but thats ok.

your voice is soothing.

i think u did awesome :D

[MNMpr0ductions]

This was very cool. The 16 hours paid off. 5 stars :]

[MaddCribbage]

first time i watched this, i was high...it wasnt a good idea

[Kierketaard]

Well Az, you picked up hundreds of new subscribers on your first day of being featured.

Buy me a beer?

[azrienoch]

I'd love to! But unfortunately, I don't like beer, I don't support people who do, and I don't have the money to pay for a beer anyway. ;)

[Kierketaard]

Hmm ... reminds of a comment of Nietzsche's who blamed the "drunken middle ages" on European's being addicted to beer ...

[azrienoch]

Damned skippy. Nietzshce knows that scotch is where it's at.

[Kierketaard]

...! Well I KNEW you couldn't afford Scotch! Otherwise I would have gone straight for the gold.

BTW is this attention getting you more book sales? I had thought when you went past 4500 that you should go into Channel design edit and make your book's existence a little more evident ...

[jogayot]

the problem of "I" solved... finally the egolessnessness!1!1!!!!!1

859.70149 seconds per second... that's waaaaay too busy for the modern times ;) oh, and seconds/second unit is ......s, weird but true ;)

[tmafkap]

Now you are confused... or is it me?

[gabysichigo]

This is a very well thought of video. But my headache at the moment! I'm dizzy. Nothing has ever made my head hurt this much. Talk about identity confusion.

[Fall4You08]

awesome video!!

[duffman3579]

best video ever!

[Cadwaladr]

It does look a bit busy, but I loved it anyway.

[DanceExperiment]

wow great vid

i like the concept and all

sweet

[TABULOUS1]

I do...and I am

--me, that is.

....I think...

[noodleguru]

I'm a new subscriber and I gotta say... you are bossman. Loving it!

[Phosphorus999]

nice vid.

[violinchick89]

That's too cool.

[FanfareForFreaks]

This is really cool. I LOOOve it

[EarlyWyrm]

Yeah. Identity makes my poor brain hurt. Good job trying to sort it all out.

[mostart88]

conversations with imaginary other self

[nerfmasterrick123]

I liked that a lot good one.

[madeye0]

I am exactly what THEY think I am because ME is what YOU see not what I see.

[mzderpotato]

i have a passionate interest for philosophy

and i love the way this guy thinks

[RayAtheist]

i have a passionate hate for philosophy.

[Emaginem]

That was really cool and clever in a me vs. you way.

[zorio]

This is great, Az.
