Explaining the Pandemic to my Past Self Part 5 

Julie, you should do a video about kidnapping the wrong person

Please never stop these.

ok!

How do you not have 1 million yet wtf

Wow I'd say one million "explaining the pandemic" videos is a little much, but im all for it.

Editing to make it so seamless is top notch as well.

That's the genius of it.

she’s the female Ryan George 💕

@@coco2.2 Who is Ryan Geroge?

@@Gpcas9 Another RU-vidr who does similar videos. She’s done a collab with him before

What if she was the one causing it to be this bad all along?!

Nothing you do to the timeline matters in the middle of an apocalypse.

@@Sheriff_K GET HER!

She danced around Simone Biles.

@@StewartWani I understood that reference

lol and I love you for that

@@julienolke At least someone loves me.

The shtick goes on until Omega

@@ashwingurbuxani317 she wasn’t talking to you

@@JimAllen-Persona Sigma is apparently the new alpha. That's the one I'm most worried about.

@@MochiDyr Any spoilers? Are we fossil free yet?

Hey "Kid from 2050" , we're glad you made it! 😊💙

Love this comment

Last minute revision. :D

Even though this is a joke this is actually kind of deep, like people born in those times won't have known it... I mean it's not that surprising generation gap is normal, it's the same with WWII. But it's just _WEIRD!_

Same lmao

We only got part 5 after a year and a half.... I love those video, but I sincerely hope Julie won't have the opportunity to make 15 more.

Let's hope it's not because the pandemic isn't over

…it came from a lab …air quotes… your video pops into my head… and then you popped up I the chat I think I just had a meta moment.

wait you are not verified

All things must end. But apparently not this.

Honestly it felt like less than 8 months😅

Awe

I know. I needed a moment, too.

It's an inside joke. Wuhan lab.... what's the difference between a conspiracy theory and reality? 8 months.

That’s when we find out that 2022 Julie started the pandemic and the origin of COVID-19 was a bootstrap paradox

Lololol maybe she goes back to 2016 when we were panicking over the first election and still thought of 2016 as the worst year shit. Could see a oh hows 2022?!? Must be better than 2016 riiiight hahaha. And then just. Cue historical laughing. Big. Oh honey vibes lol.

Nah, it'll be like 2032 Julie visiting 2019 Julie on accident to deliver the good news.

@@casey6556 That'd be awsome

@@fredesch3158 And frightening.

hey, there are STILL people who feel that way. I don't get it, but there are.

It'll be important for future history classes in ten years.

@@Gingerfrost maybe even longer

@@Gingerfrost Julie 2032 is going to be having some eye opening conversations with Julie 2022.

Through in Biden’s handling of Afghanistan. Ha ha.

Yes

yo

Patiently awaiting for the next Julie video to feature Marques as a cameo

Hey love your videos

Time to review some vaccine tech good sir.

ahh nice yt has gone full circle :)

Does that make it a Grease fire?

Yeah. Good news. Australia has penal colonies again. So there's that

@@thedude9082 WHAT dear gods so much crappy stuff has happened I totally missed that

​@@jasonkovach1354 💀

2025 Julie: You call that LOTS??

Thanks @@HagenvonEitzen I laughed, and then cried

@@HagenvonEitzen oh god, i can't even imagine

Greece is also on fire the hole summer 😔

And lots and lots of floods.

Am I the only one who's like "fight, fight, fight! Kiss, kiss, kiss!"

@@TheGamerGoy yup

@@TheGamerGoy Yeah, I think you've got the super douche market corned for this video.

@@reviewsandrevisits2745 oh, I guess that RT GIF is about 5 years old now, makes sense nobody remembers it.

just click the notification button, sis

Tbh, nothing else was that d**ck flight from mr amazon.

More than Simone Biles did as well LOL

Just like my hopes for a normal world!

You just get up and stay up?

I could get up there. Gravity would make me come down pretty fast. Getting up from THAT would require medical personnel and hydraulics

You got your wish 😭

I have Omicron… literally had colds 10 times worse than Omicron. I would have been at work had I not had to test for it because my wife got it as well. Don’t concern yourself with Omicron

@@hunterscrackdealer6650 they literally said they're immunocompromised so it doesn't matter how you feel about it, it could kill them

@@hunterscrackdealer6650 i don't have it as bad as op, but it definitely sucks. My throat is as dry as the Gobi Desert and I've been coughing for days now and can't speak well at the moment. I've had to take time off my education because I'm simply not in a condition where I can learn. Just because you don't have a problem with it, it doesn't mean you can tell other people to not take it this seriously. You don't come across as blasé or cool, you just come off as uncaring and invalidating of the serious experiences a great deal of people have had.

Omicron*

well....sort of...it's a dialectual word from AAVE that existed before Among Us and just only now became "popular" online and is now called internet speak for it...but sure

@@nicokelly6453 Aw cool! Would you say it was popularized by the Among Us craze, or perhaps brought into the mainstream? It definitely started popping up a lot more in internet culture at that time.

August!Julie was very nice not to tell December!Julie how dated that term already was.

You have to be a 10 year-old (or white as snow) if you think “sus” came from Among Us.

@@TheDealer1228 I'm sure the phrase existed before Among Us, but it didn't (briefly) enter the popular culture until then. It's now not as common to hear, hence my comment, and is probably back to primarily "pre Among US" usages, whatever they are.

As if they even followed the rules in the first place.

@@anobservatory4227 but in the first couple, she was kinda “worried” about the butterfly effect. Now she’s just - “nothing can get worse it’s already the worst…”

@@1Love2Live3Laugh Fair enough.

I hope so too!!

I have long thought that every "news" program should have segments on what was in the news 1 year ago, 5 years ago, 10 years ago, and here is how those issues turned out or did not get resolved.

You: “… beyond the pandemic…” Me from 4 months from now, with infection rates skyrocketing but no one doing anything: 😂😂😂😂 theres no beyond. Just more variants and willful ignorance

agree! here's to be optimistic on many levels. I was just having this monologue in the comments above

the smartest way to stop antivaxxers commenting is to predict they would comment hahaha . genius

Pretty much summarizes what everyone said about the pandemic

@@JohnNoirSmith Too soon man. Too soon.

Yes. That’s all?

Didn't even mention January ... didn't want to _completely_ spoil Christmas, I guess.

You remember what happened this year? I can't even remember what happened yesterday XD

LOL

Well that's just ignoring the past 10-15 years.

@@Hazzelnot94 welp that is what happend gkfkdlkd

@@Hazzelnot94 20 actually

Yep sounds about right

Past Julie cinematic universe?

@@xtremeskyman yes, exactly.

December Julie is going to be pretty disappointed no one told her about the upcoming insurrection. Edit: I just realized she's in Canada. You don't care about our insurrection. You have your own problems. Sorry.

@@TheBusyJane as an American, I was waiting...like vaccine decisions isn't even the most ignorant thing plaguing our public right now!

She would be singing nili joel's wedidn't stsrt the fire but just the pandemic era. It would be beautiful.

SAME

Just once a day ?? Lucky you... this has been ruining my sleep for a while now....

Let’s play this out, shall we? The Experts: “masks don’t work” The Experts: “okay maybe they do and you have to wear them” The Experts: “if the vaccine is endorsed by Trump, we’re not taking it” The Experts: “these vaccines from God must be taken” The Experts: “take any vaccine you can get!” The Experts: “okay, maybe AstraZeneca is not that good” The Experts: “mixing vaccines is recommended - get whatever you can” The Experts: “people are playing a dangerous game by mixing vaccines” The Experts: “get two shots and we’ll be out of this” The Experts: “okay, maybe you need never ending booster shots” The Experts: “when you get a virus and survive, you have anti-bodies” The Experts: “even if you’ve had covid, you must get the vaccine” The Experts: “the vaccine is safe” The Experts: “Pfizer is not recommended for teenage boys” People: “why don’t people trust the experts and just get the vaccine???”

@@delphinebez3045 and why is that when you i assume have a vaccine so technically but not really you are safe right 😂😂

@@csuti6139 Yes and still stuck in lockdown where I live because 70% of the populations prefers to die a useless death rather than get the f... vax

I wouldn’t call this genius… Ryan George did this almost exact premise 3 years ago.

@@samh1776 Wow, if he knew about Covid that far back then maybe the conspiracy theorists are on to something!

@@mitchgunzler3737 Ryan George started a segment 3 years ago where a reporter goes into the future and reports back calamities. Ryan playing both characters, is then basically talking to himself. So when I say she’s copying the premise, no I don’t mean that it’s about covid, but the whole format of the skit.

@Alan Pieroway I agree 👍

It's been copied many times and thank Jebus Julie lets it go without copyright claims. This is comedy gold.

To paraphrase Julie from the "...One Year Later" video, it's best we not get too in the weeds and just enjoy the show

Are you implying Ryan is a variant Julie? Because I can get onboard with that.

@@banditoheat So Ryan is a variant Julie I decided ...

@@HagenvonEitzen wow wow wow wow...wow

@@banditoheat well played

When the pandemic is finally over? Come to America, over half of us think that it is over.

Optimistic of you to assume it will ever be over 😔.

@@moviecats_ Yeah I was thinking the same thing. I think becky meant IF not when, but can't fault the optimism.

@@MightyBiffer The real problem is the rest do not care if it is ever over so long as they have to act responsible.

OH MY GOD YES ALL OF THEM IN ONE VIDEO I'D DIE TO SEE THAT

The outfits are the easy thing to coordinate. If you go back and check, each julie has her own unique personality which crosses into the eldest episode as well. She really is a fantastic writer.

OMG, didn't even notice! That's awesome!

@@JasonJayMusic My favorite is October XD XD XD XD

Except the color of the nails.

Except the nails. But the. She’d have to redo her nails every time she decided to video more of the other Julie.

Some of us will get to vote at least.

She's Canadian

@@AshleyMLindsey I know that’s why I added the part about getting to vote in another federal election; we have one scheduled for the 20th.

Don’t forget about roe vs wade being on the table ‘cause fudge Texas for wanting to throw it away

Wait until she finds out the result! "These are the before numbers." "AND the after numbers! Surprise!"

Oh my god, no one in late night made that comparison! (to the best of my knowledge)

Favorite line

Looks like a giant..

@@johnlucas6683 JOHNSON

The comments aren’t what I thought..right now

Yes, this line was amazing

Wait....is she Future-Julie or Present-Julie...

@@wurdnurd1 Well, she's Present Julie to us, but the video takes place in December, so she's Future Julie in the video, so... it should be clear to anyone with a brain that.... I'm just as confused as you are.

T H I S S S

Seconded!

oh shit that was dark but true

Ooof, that hit.

Unmarked graves, they weren't mass graves.

I don't even know who Simone Biles is.

@@MightyBiffer one of the greatest athletes in history. She had some personal issues at the olympics and backed out of competition.

Of course, this assume Julie is going to grow up so I see a flaw in her plans.

I think when future Julie said "It's not gonna happen", I think it's because 2020 Julie will die before August '21 & the series will be finished. Her tank top looks bloody as well.

@@maralorca6518 wow my friend, that’s some dark thoughts. And I’m usually the one with the darkest. I mean eventually she has to die but I’m hoping she’ll be around for a while! (Edit: also I think space-time would break if your past self died ;))

right? That's not so easy

But she was leaning against the closet door 🤣😭

@@Lunaris3-in-1 Or was the closet door leaning against her?

@@KevinLyda I-- 😳🤦🏽‍♂️😫🤣🤣🤣💀👏🏼👏🏼

I was mostly watching in horror like, "maybe don't do a handstand while you're drunk, drunk Julie..."

Very much this, yeah

Well, by the looks of it, at least 1 or 2... With a strong chance for more, much more...

I'm worried it'll end up having multiple seasons...

It’s starting to be her only real schtick…

Hey, it's fine. We'll all just get to learn the entire Greek alphabet together.

Well she's Canadian, so it wouldn't be "we" for her. Canada pulled the last of their troops out in 2014.

Everybody's already forgotten Israel and Palestinian republic battles

@@randomhuman97 Because the US and Israel want people to forget that they are genociding and displacing Palestinians. It’s a one sided “battle”.

@@monkeyflower3851 Pretty much this. Afghanistan has been foreign news for most of the past decade here in Canada. She could have mentioned the federal election being declared early (something a Canadian would be interested in) but it would be far too nationally specific for her international audience. Julie doesn't hide her nationality but she doesn't fill these videos with stuff specific to our nation either.

Yes. Yes it is.

I busted out laughing at the comment myself!

Well, scrolling through the most recent comments, she was right.

@@ronja4448 Why did I do that to myself?

Very 4th wall

not me. I knew from the beginning that it was bs.

I'm surprised with you Greg, you meant to say "In the best traditions of Doctor Who specials" but instead... spiderman meme?!?..

@@RaineWilder At least it was not the Counsel Of Sheldons.

I'd love that!! 💕

@@toriless LOL! Admit it - you'd watch that too

Man, January 2020 Julie would be so terrified!

Let’s hope the pandemic stops or declines severely but she continues making the “explaining the post pandemic to my past self” videos.. Because anywhere from economic to mental health to how peoples brains have not been getting the normal kind of input/interaction, the effects of this is going to take a while to unfold.

As a society, we are in long COVID.

@@1chienandalou and/or events that may hit us harder than even Covid

💡

@@JohnGuyJohn Truth!

So does spike protein fyi

I felt like there should have been a slap bass riff before that part.

@Lèmon Lēe I'm so sorry. I hope so too. Please DO NOT TAKE any of the boosters or any follow up mrna shots. Please. I will also pray for your health. 🙏🏼💙

@@HEROHCR2YT And you're out here giving a random internet stranger specific medical advice on what treatments to take and not to take because...?

@@its_clean because "its.not.clean"

No.

I would agree with you but as the trend has been going for a while, I don’t think there will be much people watching “news networks” in a decade. They’ve already become a joke. And hopefully we will have more decentralized and free platforms than RU-vid too. And what you say will occur there.

Yeeees!!!! Then do a 'na jokes, just trying to lighten mood' thing which she cant quite pull off!

I don’t know, I feel like Julie 2021 is more likely to blow out a heavy breath, stare into the middle distance, and nod grimly to herself. We’re not… innocent, anymore.

She's been to a post apocalypse themed party, because everything is better and we can laugh nervously about the 18 months where we all peered into the abyss. Hopefully the mess in Afghanistan is the last chapter and we can turn our attention to the climate crisis.

I remember that episode of My Little Pony

Why wait?

Agreed, I hope that she does another Pandemic explanation video in four months' time!

@@trinaq could you imagine if she accidentally goes to the first one instead?

@@trinaq 4 months time? Are you travelling back to tell us that something big is going to occur around Christmas/New Year/Early January? Oh! How bad is it in 4 months from now! 😅😬 (Sarcasm 🙂👍🏻)

The Nolke Paradox since there is always a virus there must always be videos...

#freejulie lol

It's as if I was living in a real-time parody of modern life, but it's not a parody.

I don't know why you would have ever thought experimental treatments that say on their documentation are both not FDA approved and do not give a 100% immunity would change anything. Or that we would ever have health and comradery when cancer and heart disease still kill most of us.

@@ColinTherac117 Chill out, bro. This is a comedy channel.

@@ColinTherac117 It is fully FDA approved now. You're gonna have to find a new reason to not want it.

@@ColinTherac117 No vaccine or pill is guaranteed to be 100% effective though.

this is truth

quite hilarious tough

We really need a Superman now. He's not as smart as Lex, but close to his power.

"I love that for him." LOL

@@richardarriaga6271 Plot twist: The superman we get is homelander/omni man, and is even more evil

Or the Plutonian - evil and a mass-murderer just for the sake of it.

Right? Lex Luthor, or a human thumb.

See you next year

Society has failed? Really?

@@billthemitchell It's just today's narrative. It's almost as if we've never dealt with viral pandemics before.

the nly question is how many of these will she have to/be able to make? I mean if there are 4 more, that says a lot. Probably says too much.

I like how you think we will be able to watch videos in 5 years. I fully expect to be living Mad Max style at best.

@@JEdwardHopkins yeah true maybe I'll be more like Water world

"In 5 years or so"...why do I feel like we should bookmark this comment?

And in 10 years we will look back on this comment and say ‘if only we knew what was about to come’ 🙃

Nobody can aggravate Julie better than Julie.

The video needed these lines

you should try looking up the Ryan George cinematic universe

Its called talent. Trust me - if you were watching ME talk to my self it would be exactly as boring as you expect. And like the other guy said - Ryan George is amazing. Wow wow wow wow wow...

@@deucalion3486 Ryan George makes it look SUPER easy... Bearly an inconvenience.

@@piccalillipit9211 beat me to it

Flow may weather?

It's cute how naive we were.

I know.. I… I didn’t want to grow up… It sucked worse in so many ways but at least we had hope back then.

Never underestimate the ability of humans to disappoint you.

I was so cute when everything shut down in March 2020 and I thought it would only be for like two weeks because I thought people would just stay home for two weeks and not meet other people so that they wouldn’t get sick and spread it to other people and then it would be over. So naive

I mean, define wildly

I think I missed this one and Wikipedia isn't being very illuminating; can you elaborate?

What happened? I read about the whole testify thing but that was in September, not August.

If u didn't get the Simone Biles thing, it had to do with a certain monster who will be getting his when he goes to prison.

You're so welcome!

The Alef Variant 😭😭😭 Past Julie: "Wait, wait ... Alpha? You're still dealing with the first variant?" Aug 2022: "Not Alpha. Alef. We maxed out the Greek Alphabet months ago."

Don't worry, Gov. Abbott just got gene therapy to survive into his next term of office.

@@jelymuffin7899 Yay, ℵ_0

The Prince of Light is holiday Dead pool? ...mood.

Man, i'm expecting that too. "You know Afghanistan? It ended." "So its good news!" "Nah, its like saigon, a mess. And Taliban is back. With 'rights' for women."

I was surprised the variants weren't mentioned in this video.

Oh and the floods and fires here in Europe! Please! We wanna be part of the list of doom ;D

That’s when we chat about the 10k Americans being held hostage

Part 6 is out!

lolololol

@@julienolke You have so much talent. However in the next video can u justify taking a vaccine for a virus with a 99% survival rate?

@@julienolke (munching popcorn noises)

It's actually only 1.5 years. It's going to be 2 years of pandemic (not first cases in China) only next March. And the 1918 pandemic took 3 years before it was over. That's the *really* frightening thing.

the "good old days"...

Official end of the pandemic? That's cute.

@@SeekinSerene That's what I was thinking.. there will never be an official end of the pandemic

Your optimism is wholesome. :)

Based on how stupid people are being and how fast the virus is mutating....we might be dealing with an end game level Captain Trips eventually.

lol absence makes the heart grow fonder

At least letting go is like a flight thing no pun intended

Someday it will be someone doctoral dissertation.

Don't worry, we're not going to make it that far.

They will have had many more pandemics by that time. I don't think this particular one will stand out for anyone to look at it.

Yeah, but there's nothing really bad 😂

I think her videos appeal to more intelligent people.

@@donnash5813 intelligent doesn't mean nice

@@DrTheRich no but intelligence does mean an understanding that the vaccine isn't going to wipeout/change the human race and that it's a good thing :)

@@laurenbirch6698 intelligence also means understanding that there is a good reason vaccines have a trial period of about 7 years after creation.

The majority of people that like comedy are not a..holes.

I didn't understand it much, what did she expect? 😂

@@helpfulcommenter ah 😂 thanks

@@helpfulcommenter I've seen nobody arguing about the vaccine, but I did see people arguing about the Olympics.

I'm not sure if you picked the wrong months, or your timing was absolutely perfect.

@@TheRotundRider wow, weird! I was wondering what the heck you were talking about, but she JUST posted that video!

The best finale

Mind blown

Yeah, that's what I'm waiting for, too

I mean that would be a great finale... but the schtik is that the past Julies don't know the future yet, and have to have it explained to them. If the early days Julies discover too much, than the previous videos wouldn't have happened the way that they did. Everything would have changed. The rules of time travel are important to remember here... unless we are creating alternate dimensions? .... Julie, can we have an episode with the Julie that first created time travel? I would like to see her hypothesizing about how it works, and what rules are needed here!

There are two giant comments in Part 3 and One Year Later that show that the "rules" of "time travel" are not relevant here. We're just trying to have a good time

both sides, yes

not all people want to be for an experimental injections. is their body, their decision.

Do you even know what's in the vaccine or do you just follow what people tell you to do

@@michaelconnolly8960 First question, yes, I have read up on mRNA vaccine manufacturing, how they work, and the testing. Second question, no.

@@hiltonian_1260 I'm not taking the vaccine because it has absolutely no use for someone my age, and you're not preventing spreading it either. But if someone feels they should take it anyway, take it. No hard feelings, and no tearing out hairs here :)
