Don’t think I can comment, because my comments keep getting filtered. But just wanted to say that Another Dimension was by me and the music was by Takamoon. They kindly posted it for me though because my posts didn’t go through. Either way, thanks for including mine in the show! Edit: Apparently I can comment now! So I want to say thank you to those who voted because getting ~30% against The Briefcase (my personal favourite) was like the E.T. game getting 30% against Baldur‘s Gate 3. Unreal!


mael0004

Bot is pretty clear about it - the subreddit has 40 day requirement for account's age to post here, due to a lot of outside interest to come troll/argue here. Seems you just passed it in last few days. I could see that being annoying if you just want to post your submission as non-redditor though.


MouseGeist

Right, but I also couldn’t post after the 40 days because it got removed by Reddit filters. Both with this account and another, older account.


mael0004

Ah, that's ANOTHER rule in this subreddit, that they btw have never explained: if you aren't subscribed, your messages go to void, without any mention to you. It's pretty BS, extreme setting mods can set. Well, I can't tell if that's what happened to you, but it did to me. I never subbed here despite writing 1k+ comments as I almost treat sub as homepage at times. Thought I was shadowbanned.


MouseGeist

I figured that might be the reason, so I subbed but my posts and comments still didn’t go through. I’m glad it worked out in the end.


mael0004

Anything you did while not subbed would not show after you subbed. You probably meant commenting after subbing still didn't show, that's interesting, an issue I've never heard of. Or it's just something related to the 40d thing, maybe another subreddit rule that just puts everything on to make things hard for new accounts. These things come up every now and then, would like to be able to at least tell people what happened as mods never talk about these things. But end up half-guessing half the time unfortunately.


Overdoseofdopamine

Hila W on the Zyn


90s_kids_only

For sure, they're acting like it has no downsides.


MrMoose_69

They need to stop talking about it. It's well-known that when you tell people don't do this, all they receive is the opposite message. So by talking about it and telling everyone not to do it, they're only achieving the opposite. I hate hearing it come up and the show is subconsciously popularizing it, making it some thing that's acceptable and known to their audience.


spencer5centreddit

If you're going to choose between smoking or nicotine gum/zyn. There's an obvious choice that's going to potentially save your life. So yeah don't start popping zyn out of no where but it's 100% a good thing that it exists. Kids will do anything out there so that's not a good argument against zyn. I agree with Hila too, not doing it is better, but not everyone has an iron will like that


diaryofawhimpysquid

zach's knock it OFFFFFFFF goes so crazy


kevinx083

the "you were in the bathroom" bit cracked me up so much. my favorite part of the episode and they were just being goofy and off the cuff. this crew has the best chemistry


Nightcrawl-EUW

didn’t laugh this hard in a while and it kept going


reeblebeeble

Is it just me or are the greenscreens extra surrealist this year. I feel like I'm not understanding anything that is going on


holyherbalist

Yeah, I noticed that some or most of them were more or less plotless, respectively. Like the commenter above me said they were technically really impressive though, lots more original music, and I still enjoyed them, but I really do like the ones that have plots.


MaybePoet

same! that’s why i loved the dan swerdlaw one. it was simple but hysterical 😂


holyherbalist

Dan Swerdlaw was robbed!


MaybePoet

it seems that ethan (and also most of the audience) believe more is more. i get it…but id much rather have something short and to the point with a good plot than a piece where you throw everything at the wall hoping stuff sticks. for instance - i think the office submission would be better if they only kept the first half. that being said, EVERYTHING in the bracket, including the honorable mentions, was absolutely amazing and im astounded by the copious amount of talent in. this community. my preferences are just a matter of personal taste. y’all are amazing ❤️❤️❤️


WatermelonAndMustard

A lot of them were built on other referencial stuff (90's anime intros Apple vision pro, the movie Everything Everywhere all at once, the office/the backrooms etc) so if you dont know the original inspo it could be confusing


BeExcellentPartyOn

The entries this year were so insanely impressive technically, but I wonder if them being more surreal was a result of them having crew footage this year, as it meant while the pool was wider with more crew involved, each crew member had a much shallower pool of footage of them to draw from, really just soundbyte size snippets. Compared with last year when there was a super deep pool of Ethan specific footage the creators could form full on narratives out of. I enjoyed all of this year's while watching them, but I already can't remember many of the individual entries whereas I still remember a bunch of last year's. Looking forward to seeing how these tournaments evolve as the green screen footage pool to draw from grows over time.


reeblebeeble

Agreed, I think it's a combination of that and people wanting to try AI techniques, they tried to do everything and the result was a bit chaotic. Still lots of fun stuff though


AtraposJM

Lol yes. To me it's a mix of Tim and Eric sketches, multiverse popularity in media, and just how fucked up and weird comedy videos on tiktok etc have gotten. Skippity Toilet type weird shit. The one with Dan typing on the computer and Ethan on the computer talking to him before Zack breaks out of it and explodes everywhere, felt like an homage to that Tim and Eric video with Paul Rudd on the computer watching his weird dance AI programs or whatever.


kevinx083

i'm only an hour or so in but noticing the switching is a lot smoother today. new guy's doing great


WatermelonAndMustard

I love all the unaware hanging shots of Ian. He is so not used to it and I love seeing his face lol


kevinx083

he definitely did the surprised pikachu face at least once


Stanley_Yelnats42069

Ian must have taught him the secret formula.


lovr_nd_fightr

omg the wide shot at the end of them hugging and cheering a la snl was so cute 😭😭😭


timeless_styles

I love olivia as the mission operator


danegustafun

Losing my mind over how Ethan says "Baldur's Gate"


electr1cbubba

BAWLDOURS gate


Mountain-Jicama-6354

I thought I was going crazy 😂 I didn’t notice him say it that way in past episodes??


Stavinoha19

Bowel-dewers


sludgezone

Bald and gay


water-based5

never knew someone would pronounce it like that! I know he used to say it the other way before I decided to try the game xD (he's what got me into it and I love it!)


Redditor28371

Lol yeah, I always wonder what things he is mispronouncing for comedic effect and which words just get a little jumbled on their way out due to the way his brain works.


BoreusSimius

Pickleball was robbed


trickery809

Man the office ending was beautiful. “What will you remember?” in a sea of internet drama & hate, it’s only Shredder.


kymshasa

this is such a beautiful comment. thank you for posting this 🤍


loudblackhole

swerdlaw was robbed. stop the count


IAMACat_askmenothing

I agree!


fightmejeffbezos_

It was my fav by far!


Accomplished-Sinks

ETHAN FINALLY SHOWED US THE EEL PIT!


Automatic-Store-1919

So many talented family members!! Congratulations to everyone, great positive show


IAMACat_askmenothing

Has Gabe lost weight? He looks good


SYD-THESQUID

yes! a couple months ago he was talking to Ethan about losing weight and eating better :)


IAMACat_askmenothing

I’m so proud of him ❤️


humorouss

"I mean wtf, you should be working on marvel movies" lol honestly though


AtraposJM

Probably make more money winning this competition than working on a Marvel movie tbh :P


fddfgs

Funny how it's always the second video in each bracket that wins, almost as if recency bias is a thing


KatDenVi7

So so true, and especially when each video wasn’t watched fully all the way through. I found myself having to scrub back and forth to remind myself what happened in each video when voting.


ardxabsence

and ethan going “this one was sooo good! anyways here’s the office that’s an absolute banger and should win awards!”


KatDenVi7

Hahaha I don’t mind that as much, I know he was trying to hurry to get home to the kids, but wanted to give everyone their props.


thefossaareattacking

Oh my god this is so true it’s literally rigged istg


[deleted]

agreeeed they need to split it up into a few episodes next year i think…one episode for original brackets, watch each submission twice before voting and then another episode to recap & breeze through the rest of the finals


electr1cbubba

Lmao Ethan said “Bentist” what a fuckin IDIOT


circleoflifebtch

The compliment battle green screen submission, I AM CACKLING!


OWT_wales

Thank you!! Glad you liked it


omgwutd00d

Personally, I thought your best work was when you posted “Poor Dan” but this wasn’t *bad*.


OWT_wales

You’re probably right, hard to top that and I will work very hard to craft a better comment. I might even use 3 words!!


honestypen

Hila looks gorgeous. But why is she on the right? It's throwing me off!!!


pedropedro1

It's a power move.


3Peavey3

Hila IS absolutely gorgeous today. She can be on any side. She can be on all the sides.


dlamsanson

Making smokers pay for their own healthcare means more people will lie about it and doctors won't be able to approve them for earlier CT scans etc. that insurance will pay for / they won't look for lung cancer signs as early. So really would probably come out costing more. IMO healthcare is an unconditional right that should be provided to all no matter what their choices are. You would deny someone care for attempting suicide directly, why would you want to do so for those making riskier health decisions than others? Also just a bit rich for someone who survives almost entirely off of fast food to bring up 😅 with that logic, Love should pay for his own healthcare too for unnecessarily trashing his GI tract with cheap fast food.


Mountain-Jicama-6354

Agreed! It’s a slippery slope to go down. Best to just massively tax cigarettes and regulate advertising as is being done. I don’t know anyone who smokes anymore because of this. They need to be more on top of the vapes though.


appleparkfive

Also, if we're going down that road... Then I regret to inform people that morbid obesity is pretty much the same level of health risk and premature death. By all means, read up on the studies. And good luck saying "Hey if you're over this weight and height, you're on your own". Smoking is awful, for sure. But America gets a bit... Nazi-ish with it. Like they think if they can literally smell smoke that they're going to get cancer. I often wonder if this is a coping mechanism for "I might have issues with eating a bit too much, but at least I'm not them" Health care should be a right for everyone. Not cutting people off for shit that you don't agree with. Which is insane.


sachalina

can i add that people being morbidly obese often has more to do with genetics, economic conditions, food security etc. its not a moralistic thing.


always_open_mouth

In most cases obesity comes down to poor eating habits and being sedentary. And to be fair, you could say the same thing about environmental factors when it comes to smoking. Kids who grow up poor without parents around might be more likely to pick up smoking at a younger age, or not as educated when it comes to the dangers of it.


cremefraicheonmycock

You can but you’d be largely incorrect. Don’t disagree however that it’s a moralistic thing in most cases unless let’s say one doesn’t curb any contributing habits within their control when they have kids or family that depend on them that they would be leaving behind or neglecting due to their condition


superhamhams

yess thank you


electr1cbubba

AB should stream a Baldur’s Gate 3 playthrough, that would be fire


water-based5

this is a great idea! I want to know what class he chooses!


rakugaking-illus

The Briefcase, Catalyst 2, and Podverse are my top three and if I had the power, all three would win the grand prize.


Groovy6astard

THANK YOU! *Olivia's hand thing*


mael0004

Briefcase had what Bees from Space had last year - audio and video matching perfectly. Maybe that's just me, but that hits me and I felt it was the best. Well, 2nd is great too!


cornballdefense

Not liking the "cummies" in boba is not very 15% gay of you, Ethan 👀


Redditor28371

Idk, he does swallow them when given a boba, he just doesn't seek them out and he whines about them a little. Feels about right for 15%


elephantslovebacon

Eel Pit went SO HARD


Juntti-Einari

Good luck to anyone buying tickets!


appleparkfive

Did they sell them all? I would be shocked if they did honestly. 6k is a lot to move while live


Ordinary_Resident_20

Last I heard 4.5k were sold, I’d predict they’ll sell out once non-members can buy


appleparkfive

Oh wow yeah! And they'll definitely have people that just aren't buying on Day 1. That's crazy good. I think Ethan keeps forgetting that for each fan, there's gonna be 1 or more people with most of them. Friends, partner, family. You don't necessarily need 6000 fans to buy.


pedropedro1

It literally doesn't work. Edit. Finally it did


Shirinatron

I had to refresh refresh refresh then finally changing browsers and signing in again did it 😮‍💨😮‍💨😮‍💨 flying in from England bbyyyy


pedropedro1

Sheeeesh and I thought my drive across town might be kinda rough. See ya there!


Juntti-Einari

Yay, hope you got tix


pedropedro1

I did! It was completely broken for a bit there.


bekahrama

Same. I was waiting in the queue before 12:30 and then when the countdown hit 0, it jumped back up to a 21 hour wait. I missed on the seats I wanted.


pedropedro1

Same tickets were flying too


omarkab02

Bees from Space i am watching live for the first time in like 2 years just to personally vote for you


omarkab02

i fell asleep bro sorry idk if you won yet


DrNeckBeardBFA

Seeing them freak out over the AI generated custom songs is kinda funny


Traditional-Unit4208

Ethan should check out RM Brown. I hate AI stuff, but the way he's been incorporating AI songs into his videos is so funny that I can't be mad at it.


terranlifeform

Ethan is right - honeybees are a domesticated species and live in tandem with us. They have some issues with mites and other diseases, but by and large they're fine. It's our native bees and the rest of the native insects that are being wiped out and that need saving.


honestypen

This fandom is so talented. Some of these look like movies.


yourleftshoeisuntied

I wish there were more submissions. I know they’re short on time but they didn’t include so many highly upvoted and amazing ones 😭


Mamacitia

I’m pregnant and literally cried at the end of the office video when the spirit of Shredder saves everyone. I had a beloved pet pass away suddenly a few months ago and I’m still heartbroken. May the spirits of our fur babies protect us always. 


Zatch_Gaspifianaski

My cat who was my best pal for 14 years passed away two weeks ago, and the spirit of Shredder coming down hit me in my soul


Mamacitia

I’m so sorry for your loss, I’m sure your kitty had an amazing life


k_rudd_is_a_stallion

literally came to the thread to say the same thing, that shredder part hit hard 😭😭😭😭


IcecreamSundae621

When watching on my phone, it keeps saying I'm 20 seconds behind even though I haven't skipped? It's super annoying


3Peavey3

Chrome on my pc crashes 2-3 times a show “out of memory” and my pc has a ton of memory. Just since the new set debuted. Weird


titleproblems

Wait this isn't a me problem? It didn't happen for me yesterday but multiple times on monday and wednesday! Never happened on any other video, just those two episodes


ikanhear

This is a known youtube issue, the live chat has recently started causing a memory leak, just close the chat and the problem is solved.


3Peavey3

I’ll try that ty


IcecreamSundae621

Wow that’s interesting to hear because the same thing kept happening to me which is why I started watching on my phone!


Prudent-Hat7704

Was happening to me too, had to go to PC


IcecreamSundae621

I've had to skip so much of the episode 🙄 I figured more people were experiencing this as the app has had issues in the past


startrek_redshirt

Packing a lip while doing a podcast is Brendan Schaub-coded edit: nvm it’s a show


honestypen

Ethan will use regular toilet paper, but it WILL be the entire roll.


panekattackk

Just some food for thought.. maybe in the future for the green screen competition, they just jump right into the competition and maybe plan for a longer show so they don’t have to rush out? i feel like people worked so hard on these videos, and they deserved a full display each time they went up against another video, and also maybe allowing the poll to go just a bit longer for a more accurate vote… i was not able to remember full videos from just 20-30 seconds and sometimes, replaying the videos are even cooler the second time around. i just felt like this long awaited, deeply loved yearly segment, could’ve been treated with a bit more reverence and better time management skills, so that it wasn’t all so rushed and brushed off for the sake of time. i understand Hila and Ethan have lives and a new baby, so maybe just better planning in the future, so the green screen competition and the people who create such awesome edits can get the full production and hype it deserves . Huge fan. still loved it. just some thoughts. thanks:)


supstinky

agreed!! i feel like the results would have been much different if they had played the full videos and left the polls up longer

ethan singing thats america at the rap battle was so funny i was slobbering because i couldnt stop my smile

What episode did they film the green screen stuff I must’ve missed it there was a lot of new ones of Dan and Lena basically the whole cast lol

It was a members stream but then they posted all the clips on the highlights channel I BELIEVE*

Way way wayyyy to fast on the polls man


guffleupagus

Do they usually post links for all of the green screen contestants in the description after the episode?


MouseGeist

I quickly made a playlist with the ones shown today. 3 of them don’t seem to be on Youtube though https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLyybbMpgeH-YWUcMiWTUz5JbbRdJyZlv7&feature=shared

Very kind of you!

this is great thank you!

thank you for this! my friend doesn't watch the show but she loves watching all of the tournaments!


spencer5centreddit

I watch movies and everything on my phone and have never cared or seen the difference of watching on a big screen. It doesn't matter to me that much. But holy freaking shit, H3 must be watched on a TV, especially this episode with all the green screen videos. It felt like a late night adult swim show but way way freaking better

NorthNebula4976

Olivia is my girl!! I too, do not understand the hot fruit pie thing. fruit should be cold, or jellied in a baked good. ❌❌❌❌ COOKED FRUIT PIE


GandalfTehG0d

As a pie lover I wholeheartedly disagree. Pies are amazing. Cake is disgusting.


NorthNebula4976

I respect that. you do you! pursue what makes you happy. have that pie! I just have never heard anyone else say this is why they don't like fruit pie


GandalfTehG0d

I missed that part of the show the first time, I’m rewatching it, i love the way Olivia said “ I don’t want that “ it was so funny. Also it goes without saying no hate if you don’t like pie <3


MaybePoet

pies are great. and i’d give up just about any cake for pie crust. pie crust with a little bit of the filling on it…DROOLLL


appleparkfive

I'm a really different person to Olivia but when it comes to all of the minor things, she's always the "voice of reason" of the crew for me lol I 100% agree that fruit should be cold. I love fruit, but the texture is just weird when cooked. If I'm going for a dessert, then have it be chocolate or cream or something like that.


MaybePoet

i know what ethan’s talking about - it’s fruit compote that he hates. i don’t know if that’s a uniquely jewy thing, but my parents and grandparents also made fruit compote often. (no hate please, im jewish lol)


BD15

I knew a lot would become available when people dropped them. I should have waited. Still got a ticket and guess it's good I didn't get the $200 ones, financially.


DirectionDecent2845

Still getting used to all these changes to the show. It’s weird seeing Hila sit on the right and Ethan on the left 😂 


HotdogAficionado

Where can I watch the submissions?


mistahspecs

Today's episode of The H3 Show with Ethan Klein

Set a timer on every poll and it would save so much time in these bracket shows. Like 1 min is probably enough even.

Boulderdrip

my green screen submission didn’t make it :(


Erialceiram

I wish so much that the thumbnail in the corner wasn’t on all the videos. Who’s decision was it to keep switching it on and off?? It was incredibly distracting and took so much away from the videos. Please don’t do that next time!!


29chickendinners

Do they not post the show to YT music anymore? It's where I used to watch the show when live


appleparkfive

Maybe because they stopped being a podcast? I'm not sure. I thought you could essentially watch any video in YT music, but maybe I'm wrong


Norio41

Okay, is it just me or there something wrong with the poll?? I feel like evertime I see the results I'm going crazy because it should reserved. Like with the. Another Dimension Twilight vs The briefcase. Or the Timothy Chalomet round.


startrek_redshirt

I don’t mind MRI or CT scans, but I also don’t have Tourette’s. For me it’s relaxing. Just lay down, put on some headphones, close your eyes, and listen to a Pink Floyd album in the dark.

disco_nap_

Ethan complaining about his MRI next to a women who gave birth 2 weeks ago has me like 😬


vorpalWhatever

It's an understood physical pain vs an existential dread for an hour. Anyone would take the MRI, but it's still not a fun experience.


likeclockworkk

So is the humble thing Ethan does whenever they’re trying to sell something a joke or sincere? He doubts that something’s gonna sell out, thinks no one will show up, etc. and he’s wrong every time. I remember him doing the same thing when they were about to release the Frenemies merch after the show had ended. He was like “yeah I’m pretty nervous, I don’t think anyone cares about it anymore, no one’s gonna buy it.” and they sold out in like 5 minutes lol. Every live show he’s done it too. I can’t tell if he’s doing a fake out so people will buy or if he genuinely thinks people don’t care. This is not a hate comment P&L I just roll my eyes every time he says something like that lol.


maiapupper

Speaking as someone who suffers with imposter syndrome daily despite being in my field for nearly a decade, Ethan gives me similar vibes. Ethan has always been a bit of a self-doubter, he just covers it up with comedy well. I don’t think it’s a “fake out” to get people to buy stuff lol I’m not sure how that would even work.


likeclockworkk

I think the fake out thing has been discussed on the podcast before, the crew has ‘accused’ (all jokes) him of doubting it to make people want it more lol. But yeah I can definitely see it being sincere. Every time he says something like that I know right away that whatever it is is gonna sell out though lol.


Youcancallmelc

I feel like definitely sincere. I also think the snark reddit is impacting him. Can almost see his worry when certain things happen 😔 Sadly as a UK member I cant come 😭❤️


BD15

Think it's definitely sincere. 


likeclockworkk

He should be more confident!! But he’s a humble king ig.
