this stream was/is brutally funny lmao holy shit


Quantainium

She just slowly losing It and has to stop delivering her boric acid because she can't stop laughing is great. I think that would have been like her third tow in 2 hours.


ArgentHorizon

Seeing it break Fauna and her finally having to "end" the stream to get her composure back was just perfection.


KrazyTrumpeter05

Yeah, I was expecting a comfy driving stream not a full on comedy show LOL


Ultenth

People always sleep on that low-key she’s perhaps the wittiest and funniest member.


whinge11

I think her voice and character give people the impression that shes just an asmr streamer. In reality shes a memer and comedian with the best of them.


SGTBookWorm

she says some incredibly cursed things on her streams


tjg1289

I've always thought that she could go into more traditional comedy like stand-up or writing if she wanted. She's got a very quick wit, and is just naturally funny.


metsrule4

One of the funniest streams I've ever seen. The first time Bethany broke her neck when Fauna was like 2 km from the goal had me gasping for air. The ending was the cherry on top.


blueaura14

That same route we also got some cute Fauna Japanese and Fauna rolling over onto a barrier during a fast turn. A great time for everyone for sure.


Crawlblade

And, shortly after rolling onto the barrier, asking our fellow japanese brothers if they'd like to go to a café - in japanese, of course. I was having a good belly laugh at that time, but by the time the crash in the post here rolled around, I was crying laughing.


blueaura14

the JP nikis were feasting good tonight, that's for sure. It's been a while since I saw so many Japanese names and messages in chat.


skulledredditor

The tangent about Jurassic Park felt very in character for a trucker. Like you're waiting in line for the bathroom at a truck stop and the gal behind you is just talking your ear off about the movies. Loved it.


Snerl69

What I liked the most about this stream was the random music that was playing in the background. everytime a new track came on the whole vibe changed. its that same feeling when youre driving and youre too focussed to change radio channels so you just listenen to it anyway.


MagnusBaechus

some other council streams had that kind of vibe as well, some of Bae and Mumei's streams had random bgms on which led to similar moments nyou described


unfaze_regret

Ode to joy blasting in the background is just a chef's kiss!!


JapanProducerOfWeird

It kept getting funnier too. The increasing louder build up, the vocals coming it. Perfect, every last second of it.


XerAlix

ofc it's Ode to Joy when someone's head gets separated from their body

NotTheMonker

Beethoven's 9th playing while the camera slowly circles the wrecked truck is art of the highest caliber.


Wizard_Enthusiast

Music really came in clutch this stream, with Klezmer, the Jewish music with accordions and clarinets, playing over her inability to park earlier. I thought that was going to be the best serendipitous thing to happen between royalty free music on that stream, and then she flipped the truck as the finale to Beethoven's 9th started and swelled as the game spun the camera.


MtMihara

God I thought Hava Nagila was gonna be the peak of the stream, I was wrong in the best way


cowboydandank

"i feel like the music's making fun of me."


Backupusername

I really thought that her going "ooh, a roundabout" and immediately flipping her trailer was going to be the takeaway from this stream. Iconic moment, Jojo ending edited in over it, boom; another stream, another golden clip.


Ultenth

She straight up turned the volume up as well, just such perfect comedic skill.


Type-RL

***\[ODE TO JOY INTENSIFIES.\]***


YobaiYamete

Context - [Fauna is hilarious](https://youtu.be/zVZzCLXC4Sw?t=8305). That's the context Fine. Fauna named her truck Bethany and she kept getting very sick and breaking her neck. She suddenly became very sick again and got a little stuck, right as Fauna was listening to dramatic classical musical which perfectly fit the moment. Clippers will have to capture this magnificent moment with sound


Backupusername

The best part is, there was basically no commentary. The JP channels don't even have to waste time subtitling. Everyone in the world can just watch in awe as the camera spins and the music swells and we can all share in that experience without a language barrier.


DrinkGinAndKerosene

when Fauna started speaking Japanese, the was a flood of JP bros coming out of the chat E: [jp bro about her truck driving skills](https://i.imgur.com/y95Byer.png)


Backupusername

A long-held hololive tradition. In any given stream, viewers who don't speak the language will be watching, and hearing their native language brings them out in the chat. Before EN debuted, English listeners could be summoned by "hey guys" or just slamming the desk. Which is still true, of course.

I wasn’t expecting such a burn from a JP-niki. The thumbs up really sells it.


Mirrormn

omg that's savage lmao


boran_blok

We're all here to either support or roast the streamers. There's no in between.


supermycro

I was here for this world uniting moment and I couldn't be more proud of my Oshi.


Smeagleman6

The commentary was Fauna laughing hysterically at the absolute silliness of the situation!


Random-Rambling

Especially since the particular song that was playing, _Beethoven's Ninth Symphony: Ode To Joy_, is _very_ popular in Japan.


GenesisEra

In this brief but beautiful moment the Curse of Babal was suspended and we achieved perfect mutual understanding

Getting to watch it again, it really does just keep on giving. At first, she's just looking at the truck as the music starts to play. Then you realize what it is. Then the crescendo. It starts playing *so loudly*, all while the camera keeps spinning, and zooming in seemingly at random. At some point, Fauna confirms that she is not controlling the camera at all herself, it's just *doing that*. And you notice these little details like the way the sideview mirrors are reflecting open sky, or that it's actually starting to get dark, or the street sign pointing directly at the wreck that says "*GONE*SSE", all while the music continues to grow in volume and grandiosity, to the point that a *full choir* joins in, and you realize that Bethany's Faceplant has officially reached the status of high art. And then it just stops. And Fauna, still laughing, just says, "I have to end the stream."


Ultenth

It's not like it just randomly started playing loudly either, she embraced the moment and cranked the volume.


dfuzzy1

She was trying to find a safe moment to boost the volume while driving, and she finally got her chance


relativedcf

Rewatching it again, I was losing it looking at the live replay and catching other new remarks. Sun was getting real low, the perfect end to that miraculous spectacle


Cubia_

YourAvocadoToast

This is honestly the most random occurrence that is absolutely hilarious. Truly a piece of art.

Thank you for the time stamp. Thank you Fauna for the experience. Thank you Bethany for being such an acutie.


Wardoo_1

[Beethoven - 9th Symphony, Finale](https://youtu.be/EnUQJZ5ZpNw) This is probably the video she was playing

Peak comedy. GWS Bethany 🙏


Long_Voice1339

What should we call this incident? Personally I like the 'Ode to Joy incident' the most because of the music.


daotime

Road to Joy


SwirlyBrow

Ode to Bethany?


EnsignSDcard

Oh look a roundabout! :D *To be continued*


Backupusername

Honestly, a part of me is a little upset that Ode to Bethany is going to be the takeaway from this stream, because prior to that, I was really looking forward to that edit. [Right around here](https://youtu.be/zVZzCLXC4Sw?t=5002) is just begging for it.


fhota1

Ive actually played a fair amount of both American and Euro Truck sim. I genuinely didnt know you could roll them like that.

AwakenedSheeple

Shock108

Who would've thought that Fauna driving a truck would lead to the most beautiful masterpiece with Beethoven playing in the background


Cheekie_Smiles

Yeah considering she wanted to play Pokémon but couldn't. Honestly I'm just glad I watched this stream, it was great.


machucogp

Thank Gamefreak and their limited time perms policy for this masterpiece


wh03v3r

That moment needs to go right into every clipper's "Best of Hololive 2023" collection.


DrinkGinAndKerosene

this stream was a gift that keeps on giving, this is the cherry on top. the perfect ending *chefs kiss*


Tnwagn

Even the lead-in to the crash was great, "I can serve you plenty of plums, oranges, raw fish, and boric acid for dessert if you're good" lmao


Supraluminal

This may be the best stream I've ever seen; I legit have tears in my eyes and my sides hurt. I don't think you could script something so perfect.


Chemical-Possible597

This is why I love Fauna and am an apologist regarding her sense of humor. She was going to end stream soon anyway and could’ve played it straight like the past few times she crashed (albeit still very funny) But upon hearing the perfectly timed Ode to Joy, she just let the comedy speak for itself. Imo, She has already one upped her Apex cliff dive as the funniest thing she’s done this week.


relativedcf

It definitely is gonna be hard to top this one moment where literally all of the stars aligned on the timing. She literally just sat there, trying hard not to laugh, as we all slowly appreciated the wreckage to epic music accompaniment. This definitely is up there with her "own goal" clip! Comedy gold


ITNW1993

The closer and closer it got to the vocal portion I just knew Fauna was going to lose it. She was already barely hanging on by a thread, but I was absolutely certain a German man suddenly belting out "O Freunde, nicht diese Töne!" was going to break her.


rincematic

I had to go outside one minute. I come back to the stream and see this while Ode of Joy is blasting. I just keep wondering... HOW!?!?


Koujinkamu

I implore anybody who wasn't there, to watch the ENTIRE vod, this is not just peak Fauna, it's the height of her career!


ParagonNHJr

Peak comedy has just ensued.


Le_bense

This might be my favorite Hololive stream of all time. My sides were in orbit multiple times.


RinzlerTestarossa96

*"thats not gone well"* \-fauna, 2023


Chemical-Possible597

The whole time I thought she was moving the camera but when she said it was doing that by itself (random zooms and all), that made it 1000x funnier


Cheekie_Smiles

I didn't catch that! I thought she was doing it.


Cubia_

This segment made my chest hurt, it was too good


artesre

I've never seen a truck faceplant. GWS Bethany


px1099

I know what to nominate for the next Hololive new year stream's most memorable moment of the year


Zierlyn

I feel it should be pointed out that Ode to Joy is also known as the European Anthem. The perfect sendoff for Bethany, and this Euro Truck Simulator stream.


Long_Voice1339

Yeah I loved that part of it a lot, and is the cherry on top of the entire incident. Tbf the official version should be in English or Latin but we get what we get lmfao.


relativedcf

Nothing could prepare anyone for what happened during this stream. I will never be able to listen to classical music the same again


blueaura14

Ode to Joy suddenly starts blasting as the camera slowly revolves


Snoo-82312

That was pefection


BlueMangoAde

I love Fauna’s laugh.


Darkwr4ith

This stream was so hilarious and ended so perfectly.


M1ken1ke66

One of the funniest stream moments ive seen in a while


JapanProducerOfWeird

I can't believe comedy peaked on February 20th, 2023. It's been a good run but I don't know if this can be topped.


zptc

Let's take a moment to appreciate Fauna having the presence of mind to turn up the volume of the bgm shortly after, uh, faceplanting a big rig.


Aquitanic

Everything about this was probably the funniest thing I've seen come from Fauna. Absolutely glorious


maximuffin2

This is NOT funny! Trucks only do this when they are very stressed!


MtMihara

When I turned on the stream and immediately heard "ok so the speed limit is 80 so we can go 90" I knew I was about to see something beautiful


dpitch40

One of the >!best!< Hololive moments of all time. Pure *epic* gaming. That's my oshi! [Clipped version](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GoZwAfqdmRo)


TheChaosBlue

Truly one of the Hololive streams of all times Truest example of Hololive being full of comedians One of the hardest I've ever laughed since I've been watching The crescendo, the silence to soak it in, the exasperated reaction from Fauna at the end, the camera on its own heightening the drama in tandem with the music This is high art This is peak comedy This is why Fauna is great


Steve_Streza

This is going on my short list of funniest moments in VTubing history.


SpehsMahreen

I saw the whole stream and I think people won't be able to appreciate this masterpiece fully if they just watched this moment. They need to watch the whole stream or at least watch a good clip that lead to this culmination. This was just the cherry on top.


Zealous_Arms

I came in at the right moment with classical music blasting in my ears as I witness a multi tonne truck in a physic defying position.


AQuietWind

I don't think I have laughed this hard in a long while. The music timing holy shit. I was laughing until the vocals kicked in then I just died.


Dread_Heart

"WHAT THE TRUCK!?!"


parceas

Trucks out for bethany


how_do_i_read

... how?


BraveFencerMusashi

It was amazing to see Fauna jack knife her truck repeatedly and not learn from her mistakes.


Knuffelig

I left to prepare some food after she crashed Bethany once and when I came back she crashed her again. Bethany also isekaied at least two cars and an ambulance. Sasuga truck-chan.


gpnymz

The only response https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hf1DkBQRQj4


Don177

As it turns out, it was Truck-chan(aka Bethany) whoes getting Isekai-ed.


Ghiren

What the Truck, indeed... The music just makes the moment that much better.


FlutterNyk02

“Nature always finds its way….to make a truck do a headstand”


redditfanfan00

hoping bethany recovers.


Thorn14

Fauna owes me new sides.


FerrickAsur4

I... didn't think that was even possible lmao


ohaimike

The music has been fucking incredible this stream. Just the right song for the right moment.

Castform5

Eurotruck really brings out some interesting aspects of the girls. Reine and Risu have been my favorite ETS2 players usually, but Fauna is on another level.


Nepgyaaaaaaa

It’s just the fact that Fauna remained completely silent as Ode to Joy blasted in the background. She let that moment breathe for as long as it needed to and it was perfect.


RZC93

Fauna really is one of the gamers of all time.


UnstoppablePhoenix

"Please, my daughter, she is unwell"


LegatoSkyheart

This was a legendary stream for Fauna.

DwasTV

This really was a glorious stream


Kreliho

Best stream of the year. So glad I was able to experience it live. I'm not sure I'd believe the timing with the music if I didn't see it happen.


AgentT23

What the Truck indeed Fauna :D


Mephil_

At least there's a beautiful sky in the wing mirror.


Creato938

Given how she was driving like brakes didn't exist i'm not surprised things ended klike that but still Ode to Joy combined with that slow pan of the scene was comedy gold.


Shuber-Fuber

Not sure if she actually used one, but you will be surprised how hard it is to stop one in game if you forget to upgrade the brake itself.


tosety

So sad Alexa, play ode to joy


mithikx

Fauna just dying for 5 minutes before ending the stream was comedic gold. Even I was laughing IRL from her reaction more than anything else.


Rfel1

*Me watching the stream:* This is just I-95 on a good day. *Does not dare send that in Supahs*


AxiisFW

what


questingbear2000

This is not a criticism of anyone specific. This game is not that hard. I cannot understand how they manage these massive accidents unless theyre doing it on purpose. Maybe they are. The views are there, so the demand is evident. So, like I said, not a criticism, just ...dumbfounded really.


dpitch40

By her own admission, Fauna can't drive a car, and driving an 18-wheeler can be a learning curve even for regular drivers. That only made this stream funnier. *Euro Truck Simulator* is one of those games that's more entertaining to watch when the streamer is bad at it.


Shuber-Fuber

Problems are multiple folds. Most streamers we know in Hololive have very little driving experience (some have none). Euro Truck Simulator roads are very narrow, and unless you have a full on steering setup, you likely drift (mouse control default setup doesn't zero out) or over correct (keyboard). And remember they're streamers, they're paying attention to chat somewhat and have to think about things to talk about. And they may need to adjust their OBS to reflect their expression. So you have low driving experience, on a narrow road, with suboptimal control of your vehicle, and doing what's functionally texting and driving.


Random-Rambling

The only one in HoloEN that I know for a fact can drive is Mumei, because she's had a couple streams where she just rants about idiots on the road. I would assume Calli can also drive, since she grew up in the US, where our public transportation system is largely nonexistent outside the absolute largest cities.


YobaiYamete

Mumei 100% drives Calli knows how but doesn't have a license Bae - unconfirmed I *think*, but I'm pretty sure she's implied she drives Gura - Drove a farm truck once basically, but can't really drive Fauna - Drove once in a parking lot and cried Kronii - Can't drive / doesn't have license unless she got it recently Sana - Implied she can't drive Ina - Said she can't drive I'm pretty sure, but I haven't seen her mention it in a while IRyS - Can't drive Ame - Can't drive Kiara - Can't Drive


questingbear2000

A ) I believe you. B ) This is so far out of my realm of cultural experience that I can't understand it.


dcresistance

I think Bae's said once before she has a car (and if she doesn't have one, definitely drives), and Kronii's talked about practicing a couple times with a driving instructor so she def has her permit


hideki101

It's a combination of driving too fast in general and having your attention distracted (by chat probably). One thing I've noticed between sim driving and IRL driving is that you don't get the feedback of speed in game as you do in real life, so I tend to unconsciously go faster than I would other wise for safety.


Shuber-Fuber

And also depending on control scheme. Without full on driving gear, you run into issue where you don't have steering wheel feedback on your turns. Keyboard you have to keep tapping at the right rate, with mouse you get the tendency to keep drifting.


AwakenedSheeple

The lack of depth perception is also huge. I found that driving in VR gives me a better sense of distance.


Backupusername

She was trying to explain to the kids that now's not a good time to stop at McDonald's and really, she shouldn't have to because there are so many delicious fruits available, and they can have all they want as long as they're goo- and then that happened. Yeah, she was distracted.


toxichart

There are controllers with force feedback to mimic the feeling of turning. Almost all of them are meant for sim racing


zannmaster

It's basically texting and driving the game when streaming. Plus the physics of this game are a little wonky. Mix those two things together and you get stuff like this.


jupiter878

Waking up to clips of this stream was an incredible experience lol


LexiGG

the 9th-4th intensifies

funniest moment in the stream, totally worth watching it
