the idea of citizens getting compensated for smoking cause it kills them in a timely fashion might be the most dystopian thing I've ever heard

I know alcoholics that get paid by the government to keep drinking, basically just been written off and given free license to drink themselves to death.

The entire aesthetic of this is great. Getting some wierd "Paper's Please" vibes too for some reason, lol.

Everyone raise a glass to Bert, the best neutral good pencil pusher there ever was. Hope and glory.

One of my favorite narrative styles (don’t know exact term) is when an author drops you in the middle of a setting-no exposition or establishing shots-and you have to puzzle out what the hell is going on from contextual clues and dialogue. Well done, this was a treat. The slow reveal where Bert tells us about himself reminds me of the end of 12 Monkeys. Maybe the feeling it gives? Post-Apocalyptic setting as well. (Although the movie was Post-, and Pre-, and plain ol’ Apocalyptic)

I found it, y’all! Cold open in TV and film, yes! Especially if it functions as a teaser before the title sequence/title card. For literature, it’s called “in medias res.”

@@ArtificiallyIdiotic nice!! I’m looking forward to seeing Nope. Although I feel like Neo, trying to dodge any spoilers or info.

And good luck to you, Bertrand. We shan’t resist, we shan’t persist, we’ll simply exist. I need a cigarette.

petition for a follow-up to break Bertrand out of his state-assigned depression spiral and/or job

I can’t quite explain why this is my favorite Jim video. The character of Rand is great. The idea behind this world is great. And the whole idea of dark bureaucracy/dystopian post-war bleakness as ASMR is great. This whole thing is fascinating.

Masterpieces like this deserve a sequel

I appreciate and am very grateful for the Guidance I have received. It was nice to meet you, Bertrand.

That was a superbly crafted dramatic monologue. I didn't get any ASMR from it but I was completely spellbound and the emotional turn at the end was immaculate. Subscribed.

siren sounds - "ah, someone else in trouble". Brill !

I was writing a lot of shit, but after reading it I realized that in the end I was saying just one thing the whole time: you're an artist man. Thanks for your vids, a brofist form Italy.

I'd be mad if I got a broken ass watch IRL. But, since I'm tired, I'll just take it and go to bed. You win this time, Mr. Jim Chi.

Bertrand feels like he's the same guy from Bureaucratic Dystopian State Monopoly, just older, and the state dystopia just got even more dystopian and bureaucratic.

really like the George Orwell vibe. really 1984

Sometimes your videos have me rolling on the floor laughing rather than falling asleep, but I wouldn’t have it any other way! Cheers for the guidance 😉😉😉 Bert

Hi Jim! Happy to be back! Great to see another video from you :)

I feel like I need to watch all of your prior secret agent videos to get what's happening. But love the incidental in media res nature of this, it sounds like it could be a crossover with one of WITS ASMR hitman rp's. I hope I get a good pension, though

You are still too kind while talking about dystopian🤣

This feels all too realistic

C’est excellent. 😴👍

Yassss I love the original

Ah Bertrand Thank you for the guidance, I admit it was much needed. Iti s good to know that my service to the Government, hope and glory, is well appreciated.

I also despise smoking and cigarettes but it doesn't bother me at all on video. Probably bc i can't smell it. Maybe u just gotta learn to separate the visual from the olfactory in this situation, the smoking on the video won't affect your life after all. But it would be good to have a trigger warning if anything, kinda like there's warnings for sensitive or offensive topics or gunshots

cigarettes will be illegal in UK from 2024. They are in process of trying to ban meat and alcohol.
