The character arc of James Corden's eyepatch is truly breathtaking. The symbolism of it switching from eye to eye, unsure of its true path until finally... it chooses both. Truly inspirational
2:57: "Sand is sharp. Especially if you're a balloon." Keep in mind that they make _glass_ by melting sand until it fuses. Sand is basically a bunch of super-fine glass shards that have been polished by erosion to take the worst of the edges off.
This is the most relatable video/documentary I have ever seen. I thought that I was just weird for not liking the beach, but here’s another beach-hater.
*this was so moving....i'm so emotional. daniel made a masterpiece, bravo. the cinematography and storytelling is phenomenal. give this man an oscar.* 😭
It's like he's saying everything I've ever thought about the beach. I live in Florida, and people are surprised when I say I hate the beach. I feel validated.
I was literally talking about this exact thing today, pools are just better beaches, but because I live on an island where the beach is always only a few minutes away, there are no pools ;-;
This is the most relatable thing I have EVER seen. It ESPECIALLY sucks when you swim and then you have to some how traverse the ground of sharp, shards of earth, which stick mercilessly to your moist skin, providing such great, great irritation and pain. So yeah. Surprisingly, I think deserts are cool tho lol.
Nothing is worse than when you have to reapply the sunscreen while covered in sticky sand. It’s like scrubbing shards of glass into your skin 😰😭 Also, why is this video clearer than my actual eyeballs? Now I finally realize that I, TOO, HATE THE BEACH. THANKS DANIEL.
YES EXACTLY. I used to LOVE the beach as a kid, but now that I'm older it's getting harder and harder to like. It's always too bright, the water's always annoying and sandy, there's always some annoying kid making noise, people feel the need to blast music RIGHT NEXT TO ME so I can't read, and the sand is horribly irritating. The only good thing about the beach is that it's pretty
The only thing wrong with the beach is the people on the beach,no people equals no trash no music no annoying kid and no complaints about sticky sand,the beach is bad because of us
As an avid beach lover I can appreciate this video for the accuracy of the struggles of the beach experience. Stunning. Unfortunately Daniel, I will not be disliking the beach.
I wish this video existed when I lived in Florida years ago so I could show my parents why we should NOT go to the beach on their days off. Daniel, everything in this video sums up my feeling about both the beach and sand and sYruP. Thank you. Also someone please tell my amazing mother that she shouldn't buy sYruP anymore because all my siblings get it everywhere so the kitchen is a distorted disaster zone.
Honestly, I SHUDDERED at how accurate your description of the beach's numerous discomforts was. I always used to think that I was the only one who found the beach annoying but NOPE, it just comes down to how much the "positives" of the beach outweigh the negatives in your mind. For most people, the beach is "strangers, swimming, volleyball", but for people like me (and evidently Mr. Thrasher here) who DETEST those things, the beach is nothing but a hot, gritty, slimy torture chamber designed to suck the living soul out of introverts. A quiet, icy tundra, SURE! A serene, rainy forest, YES PLEASE! Lot's of people like to say "oh it's the sand lol it's coarse and rough and it gets everywhere" but no, NO... The Beach. Air. *S T I N K S* !!! Seriously, do you REALLY think I wanna sit on a damp towel and sniff the sweet, sweet aroma of decaying fish and putrid body odor? Why is the water so darn murky? Am I swimming in sewage? It sure smells like it! Whose job is it to clean up the freaking bathrooms because honestly they make the sandy hellscape outside look lavish in comparison AM I STANDING IN SWEATY SEAWATER OR PEE!?!? And honestly, people have None, ZERO MANNERS when they're at the beach! They let their kids run amock while they drink beer and cook, getting smoke IN MY EYES!!! They don't wipe their kid's noses so they're literally eating Sandy Snot and getting it all over my dog! The teens play volleyball and run like it's a sick game "How much sand can I kick into the faces of strangers?" My sunglasses get all smudgy just from EXISTING near the beach. PEOPLE ARE LOUD. THE TEXTURES ARE TERRIBLE. *I. HATE. THE. BEACH!!!* I'm sorry I just really needed to vent, years of being forced on beach outings against my will have taken a mental toll. Excellent Video! :)
It sounds a lot like your main problems are 1: Other people. Which is fair, I too would prefer to be alone with my group on the beach. and 2: whatever beach you're going to is on a crap body of water and most likely IS full of sewage. I promise you there are many beaches throughout the world that do not smell awful.
My mother hated going to the beach too, so you're not alone. She was mostly disappointed though, because media made her believe sand in your toes was a good thing.
Finally, a man of culture. Also may i add there's something infinitely worse than the sand in the beach. The freaking sun. Yeah i live in greece so i should know a thing or two about this cancer. Best way for me to enjoy the beach is super early in the morning or late in the afternoon when there's no sun and the water is cold. 🏖
Today's lessons: 1) Balloons and sand are natural enemies 2) Never invite Daniel to have breakfast 3) Avoid approaching Daniel on the beach, he might be having a bad time 4) 1:22
I needed this. This is something that I have already thought about angrily after going to the beach, while trying to get the sand off of me (unsuccessfully) and pouring water on my burned feet :D Fun times, fun times.
@@Cobra99654 you laugh, but in Brisbane city, they literally have a public pool with sandy "shores" around it. A couple of them, actually. It's very popular.
@@mysterylovescompany2657 Kinda reminds me of the pool on this ocean liner called the S.S. Belgenland. In the 1930s, they put sand around the open-air pool area to make it feel like a beach. So now you got a pool, with a crap-ton of sand around it…at sea. *At. Sea.*
as someone who is not Dan but also hates the beach, unfortunately this is only the tip of the the-beach-is-terrible iceberg. and i think i would know what im talking about, being born and raised on the California coast. (Maybe even near where Dan filmed this video?? It looks eerily familiar, but then I guess a lot of California beaches look the same lol)
sadly, the beach is the worst. the sun is way too fucking hot and the sand absorbs all of that heat, which makes it ultra hot pebble fun time. the water is awful because of the salt and sometimes has seaweed completely covering the shallow ends (aka squishy walks for five minutes until you are freed). if you have ever tried to eat anything while on the beach without getting sand into your mouth, you must know by now that that is impossible. sand spiders are a thing as well and holy fucking shit they are terrifying because you never expect to see them. i'd rather dive straight first into a 2ft kiddie pool.
At this point Daniel has the rage, he has the hate of sand, he has the burns... all he needs is a mechanical suit and boom you've got Darth Daniel Vader
Why is all of this SO FREAKING AGREEABLE!?!? Whenever I got to Florida everyone says "ohhhhh, let's go to the beach!" and I'm like "NO! sand SUCKS and it gets EVERYWHERE, and then our WHOLE car is FULL OF SAND!" The same goes for syrup, every time we eat breakfast anywhere everyone uses syrup but me because I know that no matter how hard I try it'll get everywhere!!!
Ummmmm the auto tune surgery video? Or ANY of his "accidentally wrote a song that already exists" videos? (I know you were probably joking, I just wasn't sure 😅)
@@aliyahpulido953 Hey, the "accidentally wrote a song that already exists" videos were based on his actual life. He tried to compose a song and it ended up sounding quite a bit too much like the theme song from The Office.
this reminds me of a time when I was young:my feet were super sandy, I went to the water to get the sand off, Walk back over to the sand, they got sandy again, go to water to wash off, sandy again, water, sand. same cycle over and over. Eventually my mom called me and I did the same thing, but I had to just deal with it, and walk back to the car with my feet covered in sand. The beach is nice, its just the sand that is annoying.
Sand is probably the thing that brings out my OCD the most. I had a panic attack last time I went to the beach, and that was a year and a half ago. I also live in Florida so that makes in infinitely worse.
Last time I went to the beach I thought I saw something in the sand, so I looked closer and turns out the entire beach front was covered with millions of tiny little sand worms… needless to say I wasn’t having a fun time at the beach
Daniel: I don't like sand. It's coarse and rough and irritating and it gets everywhere. Daniel might be turning to the Dark side. Keep a close eye on him.
Everyone around me (my mom included) becomes so surprised when I say the same thing. FINALLY someone shares my opinion! It sure is a lot of hell and trouble to get in and out of there. The worst part about getting sand everywhere is that it’s so f***ing hard to wash off no matter how many showers you take. Not to mention the wind; if you do bring stuff with you, it is IMPOSSIBLE to get out all the stuff because of the goddamn wind! And I’m surprised you didn’t mention going in the water: I remember one time where I went in the water and it was FREEZING! Thr beach is only good for getting either wet or covered in sand. I think you and I would be great friends, Daniel.
I already hated the beach but this video managed to make me hate it more. Thank you Daniel. My feet have still not mentally healed from when I got burns and cuts all over my feet when I decided to go barefoot at the beach when I was 8.
I like being AT the beach. I hate LEAVING the beach. When you're out there in the waves and walking on the sand it's a perfectly pleasant experience, but if you're at a beach with inadequate facilities you will HATE YOURSELF when you try to leave. For all the reasons Daniel points out in this video.
I understand and I hate the beach too. The sand gets stuck in all those places it's not supposed to be like your shoes or sandals or your car and sometimes it's really stuck to you, and if you even touch the ocean it feels really gross. The water gets all over you and then once you come out of the water the sand gets stuck to you. Gross! Some people even pee in the ocean, and it's honestly just so gross! Not to mention numberous people are always there and you just wanna be alone with your own group. Beaches suck!
