This is my comfort show at this point. When I'm not ok I cue up this series and it always gets me back to being okay enough to go on. I really hope the creators get a chance to make more episodes. It's changed how I view the world. Thanks
@@kennethsouth18 That's rough, buddy. I mean it. "If there is a will. There's a way." - My mom. "And if there is a short cut. You take it."- My life motto. Which probably got me in my mess to begin with.

I relate to Safra more than any other character in this show. Also, any news on a potential season 3? I need this show. It's like the opposite side of the coin to Bojack Horseman which is my favorite show of all time. Whereas Bojack is a comedy that usually leaves me feeling more depressed than I already was before, People Watching is a self-serious, somewhat depressing show where each episode honestly leaves me feeling more optimistic about who I am and where my life will lead. Even if it's only for a few minutes at a time, I need that.
Taylor Tano As much as a Season 3 would be amazing, People Watching is over. Cracked is dead. They just went away and uploaded this because it would be a waste not to- They spent so much time on it so why not just upload it even if the channel is dead?
Reena Joy Actually, I think they only uploaded it because they had to. They had some sort of contract/deal with cracked so cracked were forced upload it even if the new management didn’t want to.
"Tomorrow is another world just a few feet away but far enough to always give you hope. I hope I'll see you there." That bit broke me wide open. My soul is out of my body right now. It's 2023 when I'm writing this and the year has not been kind to me so far. The dark thoughts have been swirling and re-watching People Watching again has kept them at bay. Tomorrow I'm going to take a small step upwards. I hope whoever is reading this is doing the same.
*The Pessimist looks down at the dirt and misses the axe swinging towards his head* *The Optimist looks up at the clouds and misses the viper biting his leg,* *but The Realist looks forwards, and acknowledges the existence of the dirt, the axe, the clouds, and the viper, and what lessons can be learnt from each one. Learn from the past, live in the present and plan for the future*
I relate to Safra's depression, and I also relate to this - because when I'm not depressed, I'm usually hopeful like this about life and about the world. Also, I noticed that in this episode her room is fairly clean, as opposed to her depression dating episode, where her living room was a total mess at the end.
Despite how sad it is that this show had to end. I think this was an extremely high and memorable note to end it on. This really was a great life lesson to finish off on, its one of the best I’ve heard. All good things come to end, might as well make the ending great too.
+Anna-Eva - I am so sorry for your loss. I have had more than a fair share of my own and so has my family. I wish you only the best wishes for the future and that you may be able to heal.
I've seen a lot, this is the best series of my lifetime. I'm 57. This nuanced acceptance of our shared humanity is very well written. I feel shared, I feel human.
I feel like this series wouldn't be possible until now. A lot of its topics used to be taboo and maybe they still are, but things have gotten better. There's that, and big, monopolistic studios only looking to make money off of their shows and try to make something with broad appeal that just doesn't have as much heart. There are also easier, cheaper ways to make animation now so it's not as much of a financial risk to make something completely unexpected and unique, so independent studios and online humor and journalism magazines can make cartoons. This series, for example, doesn't use as many frames as hand-drawn animation and it's animated with a 2D rig, like 3D animation is. The characters are also usually sitting or standing still and there are a lot of headshots. That's smart because this cartoon doesn't need a lot of motion to tell its story and the limitations imposed on it force its creators to work around them and end up with a more creative result.
Is nobody seeing this? When Safra said, " One day you will have kids?" The camera is directly to Candy. 6:57 In the episode where Candy sees her alternative selves one of them had a child. When the camera pointed to Janis. "Success is when you help other people succeeded too" 7:09 In the Love episode, Janis helped herself what love is and themselves. (Candy, Jeremy and Jackson) Lastly, the camera pointed to Jackson. After his brother's death, he found friends and comfort from his brother's "spirit". Which is similar to Henchman 21 and Henchman 24 in Ventures Bros. It was never the spirit of their lost ones who helped them, it was themselves who improved.
I can hear real feelings in her voice Everything this talks about is for everyone We grow and change constantly and we are the ones who try to make the right decisions to reach the place where we want to be. Though we’re also the ones who don’t trust ourselves enough to make those decisions Sometimes we need someone to help us believe that we can be better Someone to inspire us to try and look up more than just once or twice But sometimes we dont have that someone and we let our thoughts overtake our ability to grow Thats when we need to find a way to make ourselves happy, to help ourselves change for the better, and to be someone we’re proud to be
Yes, and even if that "find a way" has to restart 100 times, and we find ourselves near 60, keep looking. It's not easy. Emotional neglected, traumatized or (no judging) mental illness, we can see each others vulnerability, and humanity as shared strength. It's hard, and I feel deeply this revelatory nuance. This series is so important to me.
Rick Nelson I agree with everything you just said no matter how many times we try to find the way to make us happy and we fail inevitably anyways, we need to try again; its what we have to do as people. Sometimes it takes more than months though, years just to know you are better. Years just to know you’re worth something good. Years to know you’re able to change someone else just the way you did too And knowing right now that in the future you could be that someone, will definitely make you try again and countless times until you get a grip of the real you, the you with the talents and abilities you never thought you could possibly have Its almost like practicing how to draw: you practice how to become better in life by trying new decisions and opportunities. This is why i said we constantly grow and change It’s something we cannot avoid
This show has legit persuaded me to delay suicide 4 times. And when I attempted this show persuaded not to immediately try again. Also this Covid time does feel like one long corridor between now and death
I'm really sorry for what happened to this channel, and everyone working on it. People watching is one of the best things I've seen on youtube, and I really feel that it should continue. To everyone that corporate laid off, I hope you are okay.
Every now and then I come back here watch it all over again to have my cry and every time I start feeling that the last episode is near and it's almost over I start hopping they added another season.
I didnt like this one at first but it grew on me. Its a good point. We can all stand to be better every day. Its a choice we make. I need to get back to studying
took me 4 years to be in a place where I can actually bear to watch this episode and ... urgh... Thanks for this show ? What an amazing closer, what a wonderful journey,
This was absolutely beautiful, the people watching series has helped me immensely to grow and put my thoughts in order. Thank you creators, I know you don't know me, nor I you. But I've found a lot about myself through your content, that part of me that I buried long ago. I'm grateful that you took the time to make such raw content. Thank you 😄
This series is super fucking depressing but also makes me feel like I'm not alone. Every single episode makes me cry for one reason or another. It's like you're in my head and speaking words I needed to hear but would never in a million years have got to myself. I rewatch it all the time.
this might sound silly, but this series are, somehow, changing "my life". I mean.. my perspective about it. I love how all of the characters are so honest and feel so real. It's really easy to relate and this came up at a very strange and decisive moment of my life. This is something truly insightful about the 30's, finally. I guess that for some of us is kind of hard to realize our role and place in this world, where nothing is as defined and strict as before. it's wonderful to have this kind of liberty, to be able to choose. But that also means that we have to take responsability and understand or know what's better for us.. and with so many choices, most of the time, we don't. Not because we don't know what we like (although, sometimes, we really don't), but mostly because of the omnipresent fomo, because by choosing we always think about what we're going to lose. On the other hand, this "cult of the individual" has been puting an enormous amount of pressure to be ourselves and "unique" in all of us (just look at all the unicorns!). This is really ironic, because with this, instead of feeling special because of what we are, we tend to search random and unusual things to build a self that doesn't really exist... and that is not true to our own self. SO we end uo feeling miserable. I don't know if i am making any sense and if this is relevant here. I'm just glad i found this series... in a moment that i felt completely alone and that i couldn't count on anyone or that nobody would understand how i feel, this group of characters just showed up. And i'm really thankful for that.
this episode has stuck with me so much since I saw it. thank you for helping me realize that I don't need to jump, and that for any discouragement I might feel over how small my steps are, I'm not going down. even if I never reach the heights I hope to, at the very least I'm not going down.
@@spakeschannelLol, funny you should say that. (This is coming from a person 4 months after this comment was posted and there still hasn't been a new episode)
Oh wow, the end of this video made me depressed and disappointed in myself and yet weird inspire. When the lights shut off and the arrow was left pointing up, for some reason I looked to where it was pointing. Right up at the top of my screen was a bookmark for drawing tips, that I've been ignoring for work and anxiety. I think Im just gonna go do that now....
I keep coming back to this episode. I remember when I watched this last year, for the first time, where I was at, and how it inspired me to keep going, to try my best, and to have faith in fellow people. It’s dizzying the degree my life is different than where I was and dizzying how much it is the same... the ways I am reminded of how I have and have not changed, and how change is a series of small decisions... how I have bad days and genuine happiness interspersed between... looking to the future for whatever good and bad will come. God I love this show
As a public school teacher, I ask myself: "Why can't I share this with my students?" I know the answer, of course, which leads me to a second question: :Why can't I share this without getting fired?!"
You will get through it, don't worry. You might be getting better every day. My aunt got through it :D Keep yourself around positive vibes ! Wish you the best ♥
I am at loss for words to express how much I appreciate and love that this show was made, existing here when I need it the most at the most depressing time of my life , like I have someone to talk about deep thoughts , its almost criminal for this show not to be popular, but I'm also glad it not , like a guilty pleasure that's not guilty , so thank you whom made this show possible.
This stuff is my kind of Church because yall preach the type of stuff that truly help people, especially when they are at a very low point in there life. Thats what yall did with me, yall gave me hope. Thank you.💝
I almost cried. I really really needed this. With the Pittsburg massecre and my own issues and going through changes I really needed these messages of hope. That song is beautiful. Can we hear a full version of it?
i really like this but id rather focus on being happy where im at... i think a very toxic part of our society is the pressure to always be better. I wanna be happy where i am. Maby there is a staircase for that too?
There is always a way to improve things, including along the path towards inner contentedness. Maybe look up daoism, I'm ordained as a dudeist priest, which is a bit of a parody religion, but it's essentially daoism with The Big Lebowski flavor.
Wastelandman Dude .. that’s great.. actually that’s why I like that movie so much.. he doesn’t change.. maybe a little but he happy with what he got.. and so on.. one of things I sometimes hate is hero’s judging or a person change in movies.. it’s almost impossible in real life because it’s really hard work and you almost fall back in to bad habits many times.. I not saying that one can change.. I just said for me personally it’s almost a nightmare because the thoughts about you not doing your best or you not behaving in a good way.. is very difficult.. especially also because I got asperger doesn’t help either but that’s another story..!
Binchwatched the two seasons while working on my thesis. I haven't felt this good for a fair number of months (since summer?) So thanks. Thanks a lot for that. I hope you guys do a third season, and I hope more people watch this.
We need more of this! It's been 3 years and the world needs to remember how to be outside again. Not only experiencing the fresh air but also how is to be human, how to be kind, how to be happy. Please do a thrid season.
hey, 2024, from italy. just wanted to say that this show really shook me up, i felt like i was hearing myself during therapy and i was like wtf !! i can't believe it !! i use the exact same words and i say the same thing! how is that possible ? but like i know why it's possible, because we all feel that way, that's the point. we always forget it. thank you. thank you. thank you forever. this show is so underrated, it's a fucking masterpiece. i love you so much, thanks for People Watching.
Hi! I teach in an inner city school. Yeah, one of those places. Yesterday, we had an anti-gang presentation for the students, they were not too thrilled. I'll show this to some of the student leaders, I think they will like it.
My favorite show and i only watched it 3 years too late and binged it all in one day while cleaning its so weird how something could seem so small make such an impact , in other words thank you i needed this today and always
This was something I needed to hear. Tbh I actually teared up because again, this is how I feel about a lot of things in my life. I always imagine where I could be and so it would be so nice to just go straight into it but that's not the case because things do take time. The best part is seeing yourself grow and change, soon enough you are at the place to want to be! I can't wait until I'm that person. Thank God for People Watching! I hope Yall get a 3rd season!
No. Nonononono. No. No! You don't get to break my heart and then try to build me back. No you don't get to make me depressed and then show me there is a future.
I mean. She's also missing a finger because her abusive ex husband cut it off with garden shears. So that's obvious. She is also a stripper, which makes me think it's definitely not because she's physically disabled. But maybe it's just an oversight and we haven't seen enough of her for her to have a scene in which she is standing.
I can't even say how much am I grateful for finding this series. You helped me a lot with me processing the world, and with my melancholy/maybe depression. Every video has unique and mind-blowing point of view. Maybe I fought of this topic in my head but it's nice to see that I'm not the only one expressing anxiety and pain. Thanks to you I don't feel alone with my problems, and I'm sure there is a lot of people like me. Just stay positive guys. You have my support with making the world slightly a better place.
Honestly, I was well aware about a lot these things everyone goes through just by looking through their perspectives based off my experiences. But I'm also glad I picked up a few more important lessons about life and what really goes on, I'm simply grateful that I can see and even do a lot more for everyone INCLUDING myself... and to the people who made this series possible, thank you for putting this out there. I can finally rest in peace knowing others will see this and realize they're not alone.
it's so unfortunate that this channel was abandoned. I enjoyed how factual it was and how they still made it so humorous. I would love it if they came back.
I’ve always struggled with the concept of time when I’m in my worst depressive phases, how easy it is to get lost in and how little it seems to matter, but visualizing it this way is so eye opening. Weirdly relevant for me right now. I’m just super thankful this show exists. So thank you guys.
The tingly feeling this show gives... it’s truly unlike anything else. Thank you. Thank you to the voice actors, the writers, the animators, and every one who supports this show. I remember getting home every Wednesday from school and curling up to watch one of these episodes during the first season, and those warm memories stick with me. This show truly is amazing.
Believe it or not, I got the exact same feeling from that video, to the one that I had when I took psylocibin, and had a realization about the nature of life.
Ive been having a really rough two years and this video this past month has helped me through so much. It's like she knows exactly where im at and what I'm dealing with and expresses it better than I ever could. Now if ever im losing hope or i feel myself wanting to give up, i watch this video and im reminded that there is hope. I cant express how much i love this video.
I feel redundant saying this, Winston, but, as usual, you hit this insecure-artist🎭-with-high-ambitions right in the 💘. One step🚶🏿♂️ One day📅 One box◼
i'm watching this at the great pandemic of 2020. I spent all day doing nothing, between semesters, cause where else would i go? this video made me feel better. it makes me believe in tomorrow me a little more. thank you.
I saw this the day it go posted. But i keep coming back, this is the single pice of art that have touched me more than anything else. thanks to every person of the team that makes this possible.
I feel likeif everyone in the entire universe would see these shows, the world might just be a better place. I've grown from these ten minute videos and i just want to say that each and every one of these has a special place in my heart that can't ever be replaced. Every concept or topic you all put into action is just so breathtaking, leaving me with goosebumps in the end. I love you all so much, and thank you for making me a better person than who I was before.
