[Sjipz0r]

[MrIanrocks]

Thank you; this helped me through a tough time. All that's left is to repair my model trebuchet. It's no catapult, but it's close enough.

[dubwizzard97]

anyone notice his right arm is more muscular than his left ;)

[leslierepin]

A letter to my 47 year old self~ Crazy Wisdom George. I'm so grateful for your wisdom. :)

[ChaeannaBanana]

You should seriously be an actor.

[supergirl15561]

Watsky, you are impressive.

[luvaussies2006]

Your the best Watsky and i think its cool that u like poetry to ................ i rapa lil to

[acdc7565]

he sounds like hes trying to copy propaganda(rapper)

[seldom66]

You magical bastard!

[rofedo]

does he know sheldon?

[jackpack4251288]

is he gay??

[666trollpatrol999]

@jackpack4251288 whys that matter and even more important how does he come off gay what so ever in this video?

[ChuckNorris9994]

i dont believe in hell but my parents couch

[ataraba10]

wow that dislike bar is really small.....

[Atthex]

Is it possible to download this somewhere?

[13RockyRaccoon13]

He vaguely reminds me of Bo Burnham

[lidabeh]

Being a crab in a bucket is mad lonely. But be the crab escaping from crab prison who creates a crab rope out the window made only of crab homies. - George Watsky

[FunAsTheSunSets]

omg this needs a lyric video.

[kelseylizzzz]

so inspirational. watsky, you make me smile and cry at the same time. that's something.

[lilpakify]

magical basterd

[twiztidlynnette]

Is he 12 and does he rap in everything he does? Lol I'd change the "condoms but i'm sexless" thing though lol

[lidabeh]

@twiztidlynnette No hes 21. I don't think he's rapping. He is a poet.

[19lionkingfan]

@twiztidlynnette He's not rapping. It's called spoken word, one kid to another my brother.

[21tiger12]

George Watsky: My hero♥

[willieppp]

anyone write down everything he says?

[OWFTWD]

i watch this everytime i get down.

never fails to bring me back up.

[lidabeh]

If you are really 16 then I feel like a pedophile because I would STILL do the shit out of you.

[xXalissabwXx]

Haha he's so cute :D

[theshortkid98]

I love this man.

[TheHealerIzAwesome]

"Sup bitch!" "You magical bastard!" "Go fuck yourself!" -exits in tears-

[setchildrenonfire]

I want all poets to put it to a rap, rather than listening to the bullshit rhymes other assholes keep spittin.

[thecourtenay10]

pause at 0:12 he looks like daniel radcliff without glasses.

AWSOME POEM!!

[ddaylea92]

I performed this for an open-mic night a week ago- a ton of people thought it was so great (I had to stop for a minute after the first two words) that they came up afterwards and told me they were going to check out Watsky after the show. Just doin my part, Watsky.

[MrPyerz]

This video is really deep. Thanks for making it watsky.

[Pouroushair]

Eh... the rhyming and rhythm were ajar... I am very sorry. I mean, there were times when it sounded lyrical, then 'rap-like' and suddenly descending down to simple spoken word. But nice execution.

[DallasJ96]

@Pouroushair That was the meaning behind the whole thing. think about it too much and he's just talking, don't think hard enough, he's singing, then back again. ever changing between spoken words and a rhyming so sweet it will melt your teeth

[MyComicRulez]

"You want to know what I think? Well go, fuck yourself; this is my poem!"

Favorite part

[LilMunkeeMcCabe]

I wasn't feeling it til the whole god and universe candy throwing hehe that was good. And the way he ended it.... Its true. being 16 is not easy its like that age is bi-polar depressing and giddy but he spoke the truth lol we are gonna be fine.

[MattTheNinth]

I've never been called a 'magical bastard' before... I love it.

[Camilledification]

Mindblowing. Simply mindblowing.

[MaxMeanwhile]

Wow

[padlock246]

3:03 its so reassuring when you say it, its ridiculous but it feels like hes talking to me... and i believe him. watskys one of my superheros and idols. i hope hes gettin all hes looking for

[OliviaTheGeek]

@padlock246 Its not ridiculous at all, I come here and watch this every time I'm struggling with something, and without fail it makes me feel better. Watsky truly is a superhero of language.

[MrMLPMusic]

George Watsky, you are poetry. You. Are. Poetry.

[TheWoWgal]

@cxomtdoh That's why he then said "This world is so confusing" :) Because world peace is awesome, but so are catapults yet one is about peace and harmony, and the other is about destruction and terror. Yet they are both still awesome! :)

[LoaFrz]

that was the shit...

[MaddieMoo6789]

I've watched this video dozens of times. It helps me to keep going.

[Ckelldo]

@MaddieMoo6789 I was about to thumbs up, but the option is gone /=?

[nothingsospecial]

That was the most rational and irrational thing I've ever seen. But to be honest... Yeah it was pretty cool.

[AlphaWolfShadow]

Ho...ly...shit...

AMAZING!!!

Where was this god-damned pep-talk in my last cough drop?!?!

[TrAnzZr4bb17]

'sup bitch!

^ that line made me pay attention right away.

[MetalicaMan35]

hahaha watch this is double speed!

[cxomtdoh]

Anybody else notice that catapults and world peace are contradictory?

[lolismful]

@cxomtdoh That was the point....

[wizardmori]

Return dates back to 16 years old, and the restoration of youth becomes the central nucleus and saves father.

[undeadjujjy]

@gwatsky AMEN

[DJSkreebz]

Be the crab escaping from crab prison who creates a crab rope out the window made only of crab homies!

[semicolanparenthese]

I know that this is probably some form of copyright infringement, but I transcript-ed this and wrote it on the bathroom stall of my high school... you are welcome world.

[UnderToday]

I'm only fifteen, but this is just as perfect to me.

[Stonewife]

This is awesome!  Really really awesome!

[ilayewbye]

this is my favorite thing ever. ever ever.

[Laura1123xox]

the crusty hippy remark hurt a little... a little

[TheCaptainDee]

The camera slowly panned in closer and we didn't know =O



[ashleyy2458]

@TheCaptainDee Or he just casually got closer o-o

[Bapta]

@TheCaptainDee nah, hes just getting bigger :D

[Meeeeeeeeeeee820]

@TheCaptainDee

Crap... I read this comment and was watching for it... Still snuck up on me. Damnit.

[Hennerrs]

@TheCaptainDee Haha, i guessed it would do that before it even started to happen!! All good personal / emotional monologue videos do that so... didn't catch me out! Hehe ^_^

[ihatetrains101]

[t3471m3]

I'm going to be honest, this poem is absolute trash.

[TheMadSkateboarder]

@t3471m3 I'm going to be honest, I don't think you see the actual feeling and emotion in this poem, and how genius it really is.

[EpikNinjuh22]

YOU MAGICAL BASTARD!!!!

[MrBubbles825]

Amazing! thank you watsy my day looks a lot more brighter

[MissBitty1992]

damn i wish i knew about you during my HSC....

English would have been so much better!

[Paranoiasonik]

I'm 20 going on 21 in a couple months, enduring the hardships that come with being in the military. And it never fails that after I listen to something by Watsky, whether it be music or poetry, I remember why I signed up in the first place.

[saturnrings123]

whoah. hit me hard. at the end, when he was saying, "youre gonna be fine." I felt like he was talking right to me. 

[1996torrey]

@saturnrings123 ik i think he changed my whole perspective of life at that moment"im going to be fine"

[gracellev92]

Yeahh!! Slam Poetryyy!!!!

[SergeantMinga]

He reminds me of Sheldon. Sheldon's a g.

[Cheesexpert]

Rappers should not have lisps.

[007Ctaylor]

I am Chad Taylor, a young 18 year old spoken word poet. George Watsky is one of my favorite poets and is the one who made me want to start doing this. If you can take the time please listen to my poetry. Thank You.

[iwrestlenarwhales]
