The Case Against Duckface

[zoehlou]

Just realised who you remind me of a more outspoken version of sheldon off the big bang theory!!!

[chanopoop]

I actually like the Beatles and have ALL their albums...

[s0ciallyawkward1]

you described my life in one video.

[CandyPumpkins]

lol, why are you so awesome?

[Ayshafr]

This is the first of your videos I watched... now I remember why you seemed familiar. Haha, yes, you are the #1 hot girl.

[sallasukka]

I'd still marry you...

[MaddieMusic42]

....... But i love the beatles

[JesselaPotter]

Omg, Lmao 1:01 love your duckface , you know there's a song for that?

[DoctorWhoNerd1095]

I swear to god I just read a comment stating "omg... I have a beatles cd... Yay for being hipster!"

Oh my. There are so many things wrong with that sentence.

[bellwitch007]

Nice.

[funmonkey68]

HANG ON! WAIT A SEC GUYS! he later made a video about how mainstream things are bad, but then he insults people for liking mainstream movies :S I lost respect for ThatZak

[thatzak]

@funmonkey68 1. I never said mainstream things are bad.

2. I didn't insult people for liking mainstream movies.

[funmonkey68]

@thatzak awkward this is the second time you call me out when I sortov insult you in a video comment xD sorry I'm actually a big fan

[clutzybunns]

OMG WATCH THE WHITEBOARD IN THE BACKGROUND AT THE BEGINING AND AT 1:06

[bumblebun14]

i like you, purely because you refer to memebase.

[MyNamesGill]

It's your voice. I love it.

[MlleKnobs]

I do like you and you do make a point. But you also do have a pretty nasty logo thing.

[ChannelCez]

HAHAHAHAhaha the last image made me rofl you pretentious twat!

i think that's worse than duckface! hehaha

love your vids

[jellybeangravy]

omg...I'm a pretentious douchebag too :O

...although my Beatles CD count is at 4 ;)

yay for being hipster, though I hate them so!!!

[pinkpinkpinkpink8888]

you remind me of that guy from spiderman. in a good way. :D

[ginnyvideo]

oh snap, you'd just judge me like it's no tomorrow, based on my favorite movies XD

[Zhi95Hui]

PLEASE VOTE WILL TING! HE DESERVES THE BEST & HE'S A BETTER ROLE MODEL FOR THE YOUTH THAN ANYONE ELSE. <3

[iHannahM]

i make that face when i am home and bored.. but never for something other people may see

[HannieHee]

PLAID! 

[girlovescuppycake]

Yes, Zach you are VERY pretty(:

[awesome635]

Lawl.

[jmanbgg]

:O i lose faith in mankind while on facebook too!

[thedumbonlygetdumber]

Steven Tyler FTW!!!!! :) I love aerosmith so much... Sorry, that was random.

[Samphie7]

I think the story for Avatar was completely messed up and the little details past the awesome CGI were ignored something rotten.

[iluvsk8rboys2008]

yes zach you do look good :p

[samwow10v3]

you uncultured swine.

hehehehehehehhehe

[latinachickz16]

@samwow10v3 wow sam, you're cool. and you're sitting right next to me.

:D

[PaperZucchini]

Too bad you can't smile...

[kwalkytv]

Miley Cyrus seems like she would have the duckface in her profile picture...

[thefishbowlsiren]

You bust my stuff up.

[NikkiChocolate7]

Haha pause it at 1:07 and read the whiteboard!

[charlyandjosh]

So Zak, what are your favourite movies? I recently got into this great German film about a 1960s sociological experiment called 'Die Welle'...

...Oh gawsh, now I'm pretentious.

[laurierchick11]

Actually a pompous douchebag. Just joking. I still love ya.

[cheezecake135]

You remind me of Sheldon on The Big Bang theory! =D

[thelilymermaid1]

<3



[egima217]

i was hopping u not to do that face XD hilarious XDXD

[whatdude13]

i have all the cds of the beatles so stfu!!!!

[parsamend]

Way to offend ducks.

[DotStor]

almost 30%+

[DotStor]

Download done...Remix progress started ;)

[bennybikini]

THIS, my children, is the true definition of a hipster - on a rant about mainstream culture just like the stereotype predicts. Ironic how fighting stereotypes can make you fit into one. I say you should stop worrying about originality so much, and not decide how people may be 'true fans' or not - having more Beatle's songs than others does not make you appreciate their music more, it just makes you a bigger collector

[RosengaardA]

@bennybikini I'm with you! This kind of douchebaggery is rarely seen.

[thatzak]

@bennybikini You missed the point. You're correct about everything else, except that I hate these things about myself. The video is more about my own shortcomings than Facebook.

[MrAdamocovic]

@bennybikini i think u missed the point of the video

[ushiuni82]

But Steven Tyler married a super model and gets more women then you and me put together....

[MimmbleMimmble]

I loathe the duck face with a heartfelt ferocity. I hope that someday when kids go through their parents photo albums, or the future equivalent, that they will tell them just how awfully ridiculous that duck face looked. Thank you for making this Zach, amazing commentary as always!

[DotStor]

HAhAHAHAHAH 100% agree! Duck faces everywear xD i hate those bithces!

[DJmdoodle]

anti duck face.com :)

all one word

[Bernadett3Rose]

when people put personal stuff about themselves on the internet, they should expect the world to judge them. right or wrong, it happens

[hockey128mces]

hahaha i judge people the exact same way..esp on fb

[NatKat63]

1:07 I bet you're the number one hottest girl because you did that duck face

[GoAlybongo]

I watched this before bed, and then i had a dream i had to make you a drag queen. So now i cant watch this without laughing at your drag potential.

[PHUNKYDRLO]

you're interesting. I like you...and the song, "The Greeks" :o)

[candysmiles11]

what! i just watched the new pirates movie just today it was awesome

[whipcreamonthefloor]

...Your duckface really scared me

[LeighLikeMe3]

Fuck Facebook.

[gregvstheuniverse]

Duckface! I call it baby bottle mouth.

[tripthe1]

So THAT'S why he un-friended me. XP

You get a FIVE star thumbs up for new camera angles.

[psz34]

why are you wearing lipstick? :P

[thatzak]

@psz34 I'm not.

[halomanic21]

@psz34 Total compliment

[ToCoolTess]

You can deffinatly tell that Zak is pumped up for the new Panda Movie..

[kitchenflails]

Fake Beatles fans irritate me to no end. I also bother myself for just saying that, but STILL.

[DanielleHaight]

Lol. your intro to this video..

you're such a redditor/4channer.

not sure which. but you must be one of them.

[thatzak]

@DanielleHaight I'm a redditor and I occasionally lurk 4chan.

[DanielleHaight]

@thatzak

Very nice.

I was a avid poster on reddit until I posted a picture of myself and it got me a lot of unwanted creepy exposure.

Now I just lurk both.

[catastrophicxcovers]

@thatzak REDDIT<3

[symonepearl]

you're like a male version of myself

[7mla]

man its always like that with the beatles

"So what music to you like"

"I like *name stupid bands* and the beatles"

"really man I love them too, whats your favorite song?"

"Um i dont really know that names of the songs"

-__-'

what the actual fuck

haha

[tiannUH]

You are like the male version of JPMETZ.

[MisplacedPirate]

The duckface. I think it came out of some twisted desire to look like the models with the strongly defined cheekbones. Too bad it usually just looks like a fish who just ate a dill pickle soaked in lemon juice.

And couples making out in FB pics is one of my pet peeves. Seriously, if you have a cute wedding picture that involves a quick kiss, ok, whatever, but now the creepy mouth-eating-mouth stuff is just not for FB.

[hquillin]

We go back a long time, Success was well earned. HarOLD

[DJmdoodle]

this duck face has been ruining my life for years and will for years. It's the insecure grade six pose, looking to the ceiling and doing a peace sign. Oh the joys of "candid" photography

[GreeceOTOT]

I do the same on Facebook, and i hate the duckface.

[TheJuliaaApontee]

the "duckface" was my go to move, along with all the other girls in the world, in 6th grade. Going back now as a senior in high school, I want to invent a time machine and punch myself square in the duckface. Its terrible, and I am ashamed that I used to make that face. Now I only do it if Im make fun of all the "sexy" people. btw I like the "too legit to quit" It made me laugh.

[chubakastanley]

This. So much.

There is a freshman girl at my school, and in every picture I've seen of her (and there are a lot) she is doing that duck face thing. It's like she doesn't actually know how to smile. I wouldn't be surprised if she did it in her yearbook picture.

[kkkhenders]

learn from weezy waiter and stay away from the S's

[MsRachyH]

Have you heard of the duck face smile? It's when you half smile-half duck face, and it LOOKS like you're smiling but you're really duck facin'.

[FOREVERmeIwillBE]

Umm at 1:07 why does it say #1 hot girl on your whiteboard?? lol.. and btw ur extremely funny even if you are judge mental..

[BlissfullyNerdy]

@FOREVERmeIwillBE It's official. Thatzak has a day job as a supreme court justice. His name? Judge Mental.

[thatzak]

@BlissfullyNerdy LOL!

[EmmyNeander]

Really? I thought the world, even chavs, were over the duckface by now? Oh man.

Same thoughts by me about The Beatles and Film lists by the way ;)

[MyNamesGill]

Fuck. I actually love your voice.

[Voldey]

The duckface is an abomination to society. Girls need to realize that it doesn't make them look sexually appealing. 

[saboobuu]

you kinda look like toby mcguire (guy who plays spiderman)

[itskaitlyn15]

my friend Sierra is honestly the female version of you. you guys should be friends.

[AuddBal]

You ate a douche bag? DO YOU KNOW WHAT THAT IS?

[MaddieMusic42]

Heyyy stfu i have almost every beatles album yaaa douche.... But i could not agree more about the duckface it is a disgrace to man and birdkind

[doritojoe89]

I enjoy watching the wrinkles on your bed change when a message appears on the white board.

[TheSalmonShoes]

Facebook makes me hate people xD

Some of the pages I see people Like, I can't help but be angry at how stupid they are. Angry at how stupid the pages are and also angry at how stupid the friends who are like them are.

Also the people who fill their pages with Likes, horoscopes and those stupid games that fill pages with posts letting you know "Brian needs an Acorn" (yes, there's a game where you need acorns) I just want to tell those people to leave the Internet.

I'm a horrible person xD

[Madichamp]

Duckface hahaha I was looking for a name for the way girls pose in pictures now. Its so stupid looking! WHY CANT PEOPLE SMILE!?!? And why do they pose so oddly? They always bend over like someone kicked them in their stomach. Seriously, people! Lets act normal and smile and STAND UP STRAIGHT!

Thank you, Zach for recognizing this, too! THIS is why you're one of my favorite youtube people to watch :)

[thatzak]

@Madichamp Thanks for the support :)

[julialovesupreme]

we like your pretentious, condescending, judgmental douchebaggery because you say what most everyone else is thinking. you're like the devil on youtube's shoulder.

[thatzak]

@julialovesupreme That's awesome, thanks.

[tinkerkoko]

I like you.

[SunParakeet]

Heeeey, I have five Beatles albums, you judgemental swine ;)

[grrawrimadinosaur]

Guys, thatzak duckfaced.

[thatzak]

@grrawrimadinosaur Let's just acknowledge that it happened.

[fizzylimon]

Haha well at least you can admit your own shortcomings XD

Also, "I am what I hate" is weirdly deep. I feel like it should go on a hipster photo on tumblr.

[thatzak]

@fizzylimon I'll put on some suspenders and horn rimmed glasses for the picture.

[Talilma]

I don't put in my favourites on facebook. I feel like a poser, and my tastes change all the time anyway, because I'm always trying new stuff. Also, just wanted to say: every time I see someone mention Nickelback on their profile, I judge them in your place. I hope that's fine. :P

[ihateharibos]

my facebook profile pic is me with a finger moustache......

wow thats a lot weirder than i thought it would sound...

[OnMyTireSwing]

I'm tired of people trying to make all of their subscribers happy by never criticising anything at all. Love you for pointing out the flaws in humanity. Favourite movie is The Lords of Dogtown :) I dont get judged!!!

[thatzak]

@OnMyTireSwing That is a great movie!

[puglish]

Keira Knightly looks like that all the time.

[jabbabird]

Sharing this with my 422 Facebook "friends"! 

[thatzak]

@jabbabird Thanks! :)

[ThePaperBaggal]

When someone pulls a duckface, I can not be responsible for my actions.

[coleythecooliest]

my gran purses her lips like a ducks ass when she's pissed off

[MooRay22]

so you're saying that you have to own every beatles cd/record ever made just so are you able to say that you like them?

[thatzak]

@MooRay22 No, I didn't say that. You're missing the point.

[JoohannaK]

"Do you think I'm pretty?" Yes, yes I do.

[welshinator123]

That is exactly how I feel on facebook.

The duckface thing hasn't made it over to England yet though.

[theBrennaOwens]

@welshinator123 Where do you live. In a cave? Half my friends on Facebook have pictures of them doing the duckface...it's terrible :S

[oceyx93]

@welshinator123 The duckface is everywhere. And also, the startled 'I just sat on a very sharp object' look, in which people attempt to make out their eyes are naturally that huge.

[Hirt9999]

@welshinator123 It really has.

[theaussieninja]

You're judging me right now aren't you.. XD

[JustJaida]

omg I hate the duck face. I was taking a picture with my friend and she wanted me to do that andI was like "no..."

[ToCoolTess]

PLAID on PLAID

[thatzak]

@ToCoolTess P L A I D C E P T I O N

[emmfan09]

I wish I could leave a duckface emoticon. I don't think one exists, and if it does, I'm happy I don't know what it is.

[thatzak]

@emmfan09 The flirting face on AIM is pretty close.

[melancholicalcohol]

pretentious douchebags is so mainstream these days

I don't conform by being vacuous and delightfully bliss.

[thatzak]

@melancholicalcohol Personality hipster.

[MistyAprilsArt]

LOL I've mastered the DuckFace <--- youtube icon to prove it LOL

[skell2020]

You know, I agree with you on The Beatles thing. Being that they've been my favorite band since the eighth grade, I take it very seriously. I have all of their albums, I know every song and lyric by heart. I own and have watched most of their movies. My walls are plastered with their posters. I have read many biographies and articles about the band. I could go on. So, whenever I see someone wearing a Beatles shirt they've bought from Target, I am skeptical as to their real devotion to the band.

[thatsnotmyname69]

goddamit, you're just great.

i do the same thing with bands & people;

'oh i see you enjoy the same 'unknown' type of bands i also enjoy. hmm.

TRY HARD.' it's terrible but undeniable.

[iamDipsy]

I sense a hidden message of 'please go like me on facebook'. I don't want to just to work against your litlte scheme........ but I'm feeling nice today!

[thatzak]

@iamDipsy Thanks, but if I wanted to promote my facebook, then I would tell people to like it and I didn't.

[iamDipsy]

@thatzak Oh, well now this is awkward...... so I erm, heard you hate duckfaces...

[sladunkaAa]

same thing here when i'm sick theres nothing better going threw profile pictures and finding the flaws pointing and laughing :DD

[p0kingthepenguin]

i remember when you were just a cute little awkward youtuber frolocking around, making videos about mom jeans. now all you do is complain about things. be more positive, zak!

[thatzak]

@p0kingthepenguin That isn't true. Watch Blue Raspberries and Other Things That Frustrate me and MC Hammer and Other Things That Frustrate Me. I don't complain either, I criticize. I do it in a humorous fashion to show people that you can find humor in the mundane and ordinary. I think that's pretty positive.

[trekkerbud]

Well, you do got a purty mouth. (insert hillbilly laugh here)

[folsom90]

Haha man your so awesome!

[rikiricochet]

"Oh God, I am what I hate; a pretentious douchebag."

[xxnonyabidnezxx7]

lmao. ur duck face is priceless <3

[JustBeSavi]

you remind me of Tobey Maguire

[booshoe37]

Don't worry Zach, I knew you were a pretentious douchebag from the first day I met you. :) LOVE YA MAN

[thatzak]

@booshoe37 LOVE YOU TOO.

[reianaisawesome]

Zach*

[reianaisawesome]

When you were nice it made me feel uncomfortable. I think you've mastered this Internet persona. Great video Zack.

[thatzak]

@reianaisawesome Thanks :)

[rahulm1987]

You'r awesome.

[jamreaper]

damn son, nice duck face

[supersharayah]

haha. Yes, Zach. You're so attractive. lol.

[edwardatebella]

Lol-he got 'pretentious douchebag' from The Social Network!!! <3

[thatzak]

@edwardatebella No, I didn't.

[edwardatebella]

@thatzak oh sorry, just thought you did cuz that scene from the movie was pretty memorable...

[sharpmango]

Post more often!

[CourageousUmbrella]

I always think you start of with a valid point, and then I loose you. But it's okay, because it is highly entertaining.

[PerhapsPossibly]

Zak you strike me as the type of guy who says they like Orson Welles, but you've never even seen a damn Orson Welles film. Am I close to the mark? lol

[thatzak]

@PerhapsPossibly I've seen Citizen Kane and The Lady from Shanghai. I have respect for him for Kane, but that's about it. I'm not familiar with enough of his work.

[axuxaxux]

you suck at making a duckface, which is good?!? <3

[Lauralovestheatre]

I love you, even if you are a "pretentious douchebag". :)

[CatotheCensor1]

Well, I don't HAVE a Facebook account, so you won't find me trying to "Friend" you.  And I have all 13 Beatles albums, plus a selection of their singles.

[HeyImEmilye]

i feel the same way about the music i "like" on facebook! i'll look at someone's page and be like "wow, i bet you only know that one popular song by (band), so it shouldn't be in your music section." i don't know why i feel this way, but i guess i'm glad i'm not alone.

but seriously, facebook is the easiest place for judgement. walmart comes in a close second.

[theycallmeluz]

My sister does the duck face in every one of her pictures...annoys me to no end.

[MichaelMidnight]

Jeff Winger would be proud!

[courtnog]

@MichaelMidnight I don't know who you are, but I love you. :)

[MichaelMidnight]

@courtnog *blushes*

[thatzak]

@MichaelMidnight :')

[PanoramicLove]

Before I even watch your video I have the thatzak song stuck in my head.

[rbrown2697]

"pretentious douchebag" is your niche and you cover it nicely

[missjo5ie]

I'm pretty sure admitting that you think you're a pretentious douchebag automatically disqualifies you from the position. Also, you're not judgmental, you just see people for who they really are and it frightens them. :)
