i just did a bad thing 

Me: does something embarrassing My brain for the next 5 years:

This is what all apology videos should be like

"I just did a strange thing. Now everything's pink." As someone who edits and makes 3D models, I understand this.

_"this song doesn't slap hard_ _it hits you with a metal chair"_ *-Viva Valente*

Bill Wurtz songs make very little sense on paper but you somehow understand exactly the feeling he's trying to convey

For those wondering what he did, it clearly was a bad thing

Y'ALL, I'M JUST HERE TO ANNOUNCE THAT I HEARD THIS SONG PLAYING IN THE SUPERMARKET TODAY. BILL, CONGRATULATIONS ON MAKING IT TO THE SUPERMARKET PLAYLIST!

Plot twist: Bill is a time traveler that accidentally caused COVID and made an apology video about it

Friends: *what kind of music do u like* Me: *well it's complicated*

when she says she's into bad boys

"I've let the things I ruined ruin me" is such a good line

0:50 That bass riff or whatever you wanna call It is my favourite bit of any music I've ever heard.

It's ok Bill, we forgive you

I'm convinced bill wurtz isn't a human, he's a omniscient being who can predict the future but can only relay it through songs with cracked music videos

I really think it takes a special sort of talent to use the same few instruments in every song and similar chords, but still have hundreds upon hundreds of unique songs with their own feeling. Bill Wurtz is a god, truly.

Lyrics: Just Did A Bad Thing I Regret The Thing I Did And Your Wondering What It Is I'll Tell You What I Did I Did A Bad Thing I'm Having A Bad Day It's Turning Into A Bad Year All The Things I'm Supposed To Do And The Places I'm Supposed To Go Are Cancelled!

"I've ruined everything, and I've let the things I've ruined ruin me" I like how everyone is ignoring this part.

Can we just universally accept this genre as the "Bill Wurtz"

Such a beautiful song. I think we can all relate to some of the things he sings about.

the actual story of this song (from the questions page) “i have 2 stories. one is about the way it was selected, and the other story is about the chorus almost being cancelled. For the song selection, i was using my standard song selection technique, which is to go through all my potential songs, and pick the ones i'm most excited about doing, and put them in a list. i came up with about 30 choices. THEN, this is where i made the mistake: i went around that final list a second time, to try to remove the ones i don't really want, and be left with only the best. The problem is, one by one i found reason to eliminate all of them. Maybe some of them felt too similar to a recent song.... maybe some of them felt too slow... maybe some of them felt too fast.... maybe some were too happy... maybe some of them felt like they would be too boring.... maybe some of them felt like they would be too crazy.... But i eliminated every single one. This is not what's supposed to happen. this is a fear driven situation i found myself in. Really, the important thing to remember when doing the song selection, is that truly any choice can work. Because most of the writing is still ahead, and the entire production is still ahead, and any song, if it's made it to that first list, it has more than good enonugh potential to be turned into something great. But here i was, being so particular that i had actually removed every song from the list. So, in a fit of rage, i un-removed all of them, and very quickly chose one that seemed like the weakest one, which was only 1 line at the time ("just did a bad thing"). Not knowing anything else about that song, which way it could go, not knowing what the 'bad thing' is, ... but it seemed to relate to the situation at hand, and i knew the antidote to this conundrum would be to choose something on a whim that was mostly unknown, just like this one. so that's why i made that choice. then i continued the writing from there, using my standard songwriting procedures and practices. The story behind the first chorus (the "game" section), is this: When i first launched into that section (coming up with half or maybe all of it), i was excited to have something like this, but then after a few more play-throughs i started to feel like that section really doesn't belong in this song. So i actually filed that away as a different song, and tried to continue forward (from 'cancelled') to see what else i can do instead. What else i found wasn't any better, so i eventually had to decide that the "game" section is the best option”

The bad thing he did was not telling us the bad thing.

Everyone: Saying that he predicted the future, but no one is asking what is the bad thing he did.

I get chills every time he goes into those harmonies at 0:47 and 2:20. So satisfying

0:41 I don’t know how or why, but this part just tickles me (in a good way; it’s really catchy).

Germany in WWII: "Lets invade the Soviets right before the Winter!" Germany 5 minutes later:

At first I thought "Ok, this song is seriously pointless" by 3/4 through I changed my mind to "This is very deep."

best song of 2018 this song was ahead of its time

1:34 this part always get me by the power of the lyrics and i love it so much

Me: **is born** My mum:

_"I've let the things I ruined, ruin meeeee"_ *Damn. Well THAT hurt.*

"I'm having a bad day, it's turned into a bad year" - The guy who ate a bat in 2020

“I’ve let the things I’ve ruined ruin me” damn

*"i've ruined everything, i let the things i ruin ruin me,"* wow man me too

I think bill can time travel. “It’s turning into a bad year. All the things I’m supposed to do, all the places I’m supposed to go are *CANCELLED*”

i like how this guy can make music that resonates with people and inspires them to find their own personal meaning that's powerful to them and then abruptly end it with "now everything's pink"

It’s incredible the amount of work that goes into these videos. Motion capturing, filters, text, it’s all so much harder than people would think.

This is 2020's theme song

“All the things are cancelled” how did he- no way

1:57 I love it when he does this, makes you think "oh it's slowing down and he's repeating the title of the song, it must be ending" then PSYCH

Jeez. That chord progression at 0:35, This guy is so creative

It really do be like that sometimes

Computer: So Bill what effects do you want for this song? Bill: Yes

Why is so fitting for COVID-19? "It's turning into a bad year" (Covid surprised everyone with lasting for a year and then some) "All the plans are cancelled" (Obviously COVID cancelled everything) "How long will this game take?" (When will this be over) "How many times is the game going to change?" (How many times will covid mutate) "Get me out of this place" (Confinement)

this is unironically my favorite song out of all of them

"I've let the things I ruined ruin me" Too real, Bill, too real

"i've ruined everything, and i've let the things i've ruined ruin me" stupidly relatable

i can't wait for ap lit students in 2050 to study this as poetry

"having a bad day, it's turning to a bad year" "all the things I'm supposed to do and the places I'm supposed to go are cancelled" DID THIS MAN PREDICT COVID

*RU-vid rewind 2018 gets 13M dislikes* RU-vid:

Me: Cocaines a hell of a drug. Bill Wurtz: Try me

Can’t imagine writing this song and then experiencing 2020 with all the things that happened.

I love that this video is 4 years old and people still comment on it. What an absolute monolith of musical gold.

Tik Tok: Hey, we could make a religion out of this The rest of the world: no, don't

if you blink you miss half an hour of editing

Its great how his videos are completely random with weird lyrics, then he’ll just hit you with “I’ve let the things I’ve ruined ruin me.” sToP

This will definitely be my awesome epic theme song for me evading my taxes in the future and then making a whole theatre play about it.

The person that rejected Hitler from the art academy:

This guy predicted the future many times. He's more than what we think.

Listening to this the night before my midterm I’ve barely studied for

All his videos have the vibe of late 90s early 00s school infomercials and I adore it

"It's been a bad day and it's turning into a bad year" "All the things I'm supposed to do and the places I'm supposed to be are cancelled." "Hey. Let me out of this place. Into the real world-" He's predicted 2020 too many times. We've found the time traveller.

Everyone talking about how he predicted 2020, but no one is talking about how GOOD THIS SONG IS Edit: Well, now everyone is talking about how good this song is. I have been outplayed by the comment section.

the musicianship in thing song OMG!!!!!!

This pops back into my head for like, a week each year.

me trying to use photoshop: “I did a strange thing now everything’s pink”

Covid19: Hey Everyone: All the things I'm supposed to do and the places I'm supposed to go are CANCELLED

Why are these lyrics so memorable

played this every day of quarantine still am playing it

The line "I've ruined everything and I've let the things I've ruined ruin me." Should not hit me in the feels as hard as it does.

“might quit.”: *releases* everyone then: I’m having a bad day. everyone 1 year later: it’s turning into a bad year.

its been five years, song still bangs

now we need an instrumental version

Me, doing my laundry: *I did a strange thing, now everything's pink*

Bill making all the songs for all of our moods honestly

how did I not recognize his voice after all this time.

this is confusing but it sounds so great.

He doesn't predict the future, he makes every future.

Editor: How many special effects do you want? Bill: *yes*

"I'm having a bad day, it's turning into a bad year" Painfully relatable line

The start of the song is basically that one dude who ate the bat. And then the rest is about 2020 and the rest of the years

“I’m having a bad day, it’s turned into a bad year” - everyone in 2020

There's always at least one coherent and deeply profound line in each of these songs, and I vote it's "I've let the things I've ruined ruin me" in this one.

Lowkey tho “I’ve let the things ive ruined ruin me” is such a good lyric

0:50 that bass! Why is it so good

Child in 2040: hey dad, I found this guy called 'Bill' Me: hello friend...

Anyone else think it kinda sounds like he's singing about being stuck inside and quarantine. I mean I had to check to see if it was recent

I should send this to my friends whenever I have a bad day

This is legit one of my fave songs dude

"I'm having a bad day" Oh hey 2020 lmao "Its turning into a bad year" ...hehe 2020... kinda- "All the things I'm supposed do..." No dont- "And the places I'm supposed to go" NO PLEASE- "Are cancelled" *B R U H*

Goddamn. Never seen depression look so happy. I think you're my spirit animal.

I want a bill wurtz album so bad, if it was made out of the singles this would be the tracklist: 1. Here Comes The Sun 2. I Just Did A Bad Thing 3. I'm A Princess 4. Mount St. Helens Is About To Blow Up 5. Might Quit 6. Alphabet Shuffle (interlude) 7. La De Da De Da De Da De Day Oh 8. Slow Down 9. Got Some Money 10. I'm Best Friends With My Own Front Door 11. I'm Scared

me after commiting 17 acts of tax fraud, 62 acts of manslaughter, and 54 acts of human trafficking:

Why does this guy’s music sound exactly like Windows 95? Just...everything about Windows 95.

When you accidentally hit a button on Photoshop: "Now everything's pink"

this seems like a sad, mad and bad glad fever dream

"hey that's from tik-" *Mysteriously dies*

“Having a bad day, turning into a bad year”, “everything is canceled”, “get me out of this place” this man predicted 2020

Police: what drugs are you on Bill: yes

I would love it if all subtitles and captions were like this

The dislikes are from people who care about him doing a bad thing.
