Bankman Lloyd Hughes and Borg William Sanderson are the most complex characters yet in a Joel Haver sketch. Both are destined to be at odds in their careers, yet they want to show their appreciation for each other’s hard work and drive for justice in the legal system. Great video as always, hope to see Bankman and Borg again. Maybe not David though he’s not very engaging

But when she said "its good technology" and "its right on the papers", i flew into a blinding rage. My eyeballs were bursting out of my head as i wreaked havoc on my bedroom.

This was all a ruse to test the engagement for the Bankman and Borg Show. My brain tester is fully engaged and approves.

Most terms of service include a clause that signs over half of your teeth to the company, so I'm glad you're calling attention to this. Netflix came by yesterday for my two front teeth. Spotify came by this morning, also wanting my two front teeth. They're now going to court to sue Netflix, since I agreed to Spotify's ToS first. What a mess... I'm absolute gutted, because I know how much Spotify needs them.

What a relief! I've even been listening to subliminal hypnosis in my sleep to try to accept Joel as a regular thing that happens.

Thank you for this tutorial. I think it’s going to really help me and your other viewers grow our KZread audience. Thanks, Joel and Joel’s crew!

Hey, it’s me, one of the brain testees, here to explain my reaction to a few of Molly’s jokes. The one third that made me laugh were really funny, and I was in a giggly mood while using the tester, so I laughed a lot. This mood made it infuriating when a joke didn’t so much as a chuckle from me, so I screamed as loud as I could. Looking back on this decision, I think I would’ve done the same even without the tester on or my giggly mood. Not sure about the other 66% of testers, though.

I need to hear hot dogs referred to as "ballpark franks" more often.

the peanut butter debacle will be one of my favorite future videos of yours, really cool to see this in front of the scenes sneak peek of the creation of it

Those shots at the end in the van, with the reflections and the lighting were really cool! And probably painful to shoot

one can clearly see that the two lawyers hard boiled pseudo love story was all they really care about. and I m with them ❤

Each of your videos still make my day, it's insightful, realistic, accurate and provocotive, in all the right ways. Tell me Joel, did you go to preschool? If so, what was your preschools philosophy?

I've finally calmed down enough, after screaming with inexplicable rage at Molly, to say thank you for the insight to your channel Joel this has been an enlightening and mostly joyful experience.

Joel Haver's vids bring meaning to my life

God dammit guys don’t you answer the phone! I’m calling to ask how to get this brain tester off my head, it really hurts

For the record, I felt most engaged by the paper bag puppets. Please re-film your entire content library (same audio) using paper bag puppets. Your audience eagerly awaits.

They didn't even use a Costco Frank. How am I suppose to relate to this?

Hilarious as always, and the unexpected layered cinematic complexity at the end was next level. I'd watch a whole movie of the lawyer puppets

Thank you for this be hind the scenes look at the reality of running such a successful channel, Joel! PS: I scream, you scream, we all scream two thirds of the time for Molly!

As a big fan of Alex, I think he should be the one chosen to no longer appear on the Joel Haver KZread Channel. His spot should be given to The Stranger piano music book on the keyboard stand.

Loved the background cellphone ringing when the lawyers showed up. I dont know what it is or how you do it but your videos always have such a nice touch. Really great stuff

You have no idea how happy I am to see the sidebar whisper only continue to further solidify itself as a staple Joel Haver trope

Why am I getting emotional over paper bags

Great job getting david out of the channel! He was definitely a detriment, i hate looking at zeros and that guy made nothing but. By the way, you should the lawyers appear more often! They turned every zero into a one, and that's good for analytics, you should take it up with a lawyer to make sure, though.

Wow I have to say I'm impressed. Those subtones at the end were stellar, really nailing that Stan Getz tone!

This is an amazing Joel video, the lawyers were hilarious! I like the theme change too

I can't be the only one who was wanting to see a beautiful romance bloom between Borg and Bankman, right?

I know you don't like to run an idea into the ground Joel but please do at least one more video with Borg and Bankman.

Congrats on the engagement, Joel! 🎉 Your videos and your audience are a match made in heaven

That was a good video. Watched it with a friend and it was good enough he liked the video too. Thank you for making this content, I was very engaged even though David was there.

Molly's still stuck making videos? Poor thing. I hope someday she can achieve her dream of working at the Shell gas station.

not buying it, pal

Great video! I don't know why but i was imagining the whole video just being an intro and the final bit just continuing ........ we would get a glimpse at the everyday life of Bankman Loyd Hughes as he tries to stay true to himself while working in the cut-throat world of youtube lawyers.

We need to see more of these two lawyers

I need Borg and Bankman ASAP. Only you, Joel, can give the world an overly serious, melodramatic 17 minute long KZread video about Borg and Bankman.

A tough call, but he had to go. Kudos to Joel and his legal team for not making a spectacle or making it awkward for any parties involved. The channel has grown massively and Joel once again manifests his role as team captain while reassuring us shareholders that focussing on audience engagement is the way forward.

This episode is a good one to fall asleep to. All that paperwork and legalness. Adding it to my sleepy playlist.

I laughed uproariously the entire time Ballpark Frank was on screen, what an excellent debut, hopefully we get to see more of him in the future.

I loved this video with five characters in it. I felt very engaged by exactly five.

I'm not sure how exactly Borg William Sanderson is defending the three actors, but I appreciate that he was there and that he tried his best to clear up the mustard with that ballpark frank.

I love how David managed to do an entire video on his own with no interaction with anyone else! The thing I've always been amazed with is that David managed to create the whole "Joel Haver" channel, and there isn't even a mention of a character named "Joel Haver" in any of the videos. It's just David and his amazingly engaging content!

the jazz outro ! phenomenal cinematic experience ! Great work as always !

that post credits sequence of was one of the most artful things I’ve experienced on KZread.

I would rather scream 2 times when Molly takls than stare bored at David

The strange microphone echo and constant phone ringing were incredible subtle additions to the ambiance/mood of this video. Bravo!

Inexplicable rage is a great way to drive engagement while also courting potential home repair and renovation sponsors. No wonder Joel is the best in the biz.
