    It feels strange that I watched this video five years ago, blissfully unaware I'd be facing the exact same feeling now.
    I truly don't know how you managed to be so driven during this time despite your loss.

    "When Mary reached the place where Jesus was and saw Him, she fell at His feet and said, 'Lord, if you had been here, my brother would not have died.'
    When Jesus saw her weeping, and the Jews who had come along with her also weeping, He was deeply moved in spirit and troubled. 'Where have you laid him?' He asked.
    'Come and see, Lord,' they replied.
    Jesus wept." John 11:32-35

    God cares about you, your pain and suffering. Jesus loves you dearly, and will always be there for you. Those aren't just words, empty air. If you call on Jesus in repentance, truly seeking change, He will be there when you need Him. He is real, He is God, and He truly does love you. Not a single moment of your life has He not seen. God has been your greatest advocate since before you were even born. There is nothing you can do, or have done, that will stop Him from wanting to be with you.

    I lost my dad on this past 4th of July. Massive heart attack right as we sat down to eat dinner I had grilled up for us. We said grace, and then he went down. I did CPR until EMTs got there, but I felt him die in my arms.

    It’s given me yet another, what I refer to as, “brain tattoo”. I’ll never get it out of my head, and the guilt of not saving him crushes me every day.

    We were close. Close doesn’t describe it. We were like carbon copies of each other. My very best friend. Everything to me.

    I came back to this video so that I don’t feel so alone with my grief right now, Joel. I hope the pain eased with time for you, because I feel like I’m in hell and I don’t see any relief in sight.

    Take care man.

    My heart is with you brother. Lost my father as well and he was a lunatic. Hurts like hell, I can't imagine how you feel. It gets better with time. All we can do is celebrate his life and the goodness he brought to countless people. Your dad sounds like he was awesome. Keep your head up.

    vids like this hit me so hard. I've never been close with my parents due to how they raised me. I know I will still be crying, but I just wish we could have been closer. Rest in peace Jack. You will be missed more than you could realize

    Just came here after my dad died, unexpectedly at 62. I‘m 22 and I thought I‘d still have half a life with him. Somehow, watching this video, makes me feel less alone.

    Dear Joel, I am a fan of you since quite a while, and though I know that your dads death is four years ago, your grief made me cry, although I dont know you. Your great film making art has always touched me, made me laugh, wonder, think, being surprised, shocked, speechless, amused, touched. I want to thank you for your work. Be sure that your dad is very proud of you.

    Hey Joel I don't know how to message you directly. But my dad passed away from bone cancer a year ago next month. It was very sudden. He was here and then he wasn't. He was my hero. Do you have any advice on how to deal with this? Because even a year later I still feel stuck in that day. I feel like my life is moving but I'm not you know? I don't know. I just figured I'd ask. I feel like I'm looking for any kind of insight I can find at this point. I don't know. I miss you dad.

    Just recently got into your stuff, watching Hello My Beautiful Creatures and excited to review it on letterboxd. But man this fucking hit me hard. I am so unbelievably sorry, I know it’s been a few years now but I lost my dad last year extremely suddenly and I felt that pain through you here. That raw feeling that you’ve lost one of the biggest people that made you smile and you found so much of yourself through. Someone that wasn’t just a dad, but a friend as well. That was my big one and the shock still hasn’t stopped when I really stop and think about everything I wish I could share with him, big and small.

    What you guys had was so special Joel, thank you for sharing this moment when it happened. Excited to see the playlist and laugh with you two ❤️

    I've watched your videos for a long time now, the first on I ever saw was the campfire one with your dad. I loved it. The entire time watching this video I was expecting a joke and it never came. Sorry for your loss, im glad to see that 4 years later your still pushing and living on, your dad would be proud.

    My Dad passed away 9 years ago and I still think about him nearly every day. My condolences Joel. It sucks. It never leaves you but it does get easier to overcome it the more time passes. It's never easy, but you'll get through it.

    I know it’s been a while; but as a father myself I could only wish for my son to talk about me the way you talk about your dad.

    Grieving never ends. But your dad was always hilarious. And luckily, with today’s day and age, you can relive only a fraction of the good times.

    It will be as if no time as passed.”

    I only recently found your channel Joel. You are doing so well and making so many people laugh-and think. What is striking about your films is the level of honesty you have about your working process and your life. You don't know me but I thank you and your wonderful Dad for letting me get to know something of what makes you tick. I lost my Dad 11 years ago and this still brought tears to my eyes. 💜

    Your channel brings me a lot of joy. I hadn't seen many of your dad's videos, but I just watched the Lion King one and he was so hilarious in it! I will be checking out the rest of his videos for sure. Thanks Jack and Joel! x

    I couldn’t handle watching this video up until now. I don’t know why now specifically.

    I knew about this video. I feel like a lot of people can’t watch it either.

    Your dad always seemed like an amazing guy. The fact that he was willing to do these crazy and stupid skits with you shows me that he genuinely enjoyed creating them just as much as you did.

    I can’t even imagine, man. I’m so, so, so sorry. My dad just turned 71 this year. I’m only 28. I’m scared of both of my parents getting older and closer to that time when they’ll no longer be here. Thank you for making this video as difficult as it may have been.

    It’s expected in life that we all have to go through this process, but sometimes it’s difficult to contemplate the fact that other people have gone through and will go through the same thing. This video is proof that we experience that same grief. I think that, when the time does inevitably come, I will watch this video the day after my father’s passing as hard as it may be for me.

    You’ve taken your feelings and put it in this time capsule. You did a hard and difficult thing in honoring your father and sharing your feelings with us all, and I think that this video can help people to remember that they aren’t alone in their grief.

    Thank you for this video. And also thank you to your father for raising his son to be weird and hilarious and open and honest. Thank you.

    Joel, thank you for putting your thoughts out in the world. Youve made a difference for me, and im glad I found your stuff. Im working to remove that bar over my head. Adventure awaits. Jack raised a good one.

    as a casual watcher i've decided recently, don't know why, or when, to go from your very first video to your very last, knowing exactly this was coming, but this time having fully experienced how much of a joy your dad was. Always making me laugh, from the beginning to now, i'll certainly revisit these shorts in the future, knowing they'll always be as fun and entertaining as ever, all thanks to Jack
