If Punctuation Marks Were People 

Watch this video next . . . if you know what I mean . . . "If Emotions Were People" ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-W-G1nQ-wDNc.html . . . 😏

"My twin brother, he's high all the time" I'M DEADDDD 😂😂😂😂😂

"You're bad at your job but still objectively underpaid. Period." Hilarious fr 😂😂

Us- How creative you want to be? Frank - yes

"I sound like an introduce to a Mr Beast video." I love this video, all of the jokes were hilarious.

Don't you mean, 'Let's eat, boys'? You heard me😂😂

There's nothing more satisfying than seeing a sentence and discerning that a semicolon would be PERFECT there. You really do feel...very........smart!

The brackets part was just amazing

That apostrophe part was just amazing.

This is me every time I send a message. Periods sound cold and formal, exclamation marks sound too excited.

These just keep getting more and more creative and I love it😭

The parenthesis was my favorite part lol

As an English major, this skit made my day. I'm a bit of a weirdo, in the sense that I love English grammar and punctuation a little too much. Thank you, Frank!

Top ten best quotes: “oh crapdoodle” Napoleon was really ahead of his time with that one

This was beyond witty. I loved the music choice for each character 😂😂

As a writer, I find this incredibly funny. As a German... too. It's a cliché that we sound aggressive, emotionless or cold. (This was already the case with the Lufthansa example recently) We are the nation of poets and thinkers!!!!!! 🤣 We are really nice and humorous people; Maybe you just met the wrong Germans. 😇🥰 Hum ... now I need a quote so that I have included as many punctuation marks as possible... "Even the stones placed in one's path can be made into something beautiful" (J. W. v. Goethe) Laughs and Hugs from Germany

Every aside in brackets took me out 😂 The people do, in fact, love it 👏

Frank, you never run out of ideas for skits. My favourite was definitely Brackets chiming in sporadically to add his two cents.

Semicolon usage isn't just sophisticated; it's a superpower.

LOL the parentheses keeping it real with his brutally honest observations and the ellipsis being kind of a creepy weirdo, and the comma saying (about the apostrophe): My twin brother is high all the time hahahhaha (I see what you did there) 😂💀. Brilliant FJ! You have a neverending supply of hilarious creativity ✨️⭐️

Frank: Oh yeah make a video with a bunch of punctuation jokes people will love it. Me: Heck yeah we will 😂😂

That's basically the conversation I have in my head each time I start writing any type of message... yup even this one, as simple as it probably reads 😅

The "..." was pretty hilarious!

Love the way the brackets lean in and add context

they say a punctuation mark's come to town; they call him mr. frank james

Dude never runs out of ideas💡😂

"Oh, crapdoodle." "Is that also a famous quote?" "Yes, Napoleon said it at Waterloo." As a history buff, I find this extremely funny.

I never associated apostrophe with casual talk and ellipses with innuendo until now and I can’t stop laughing at it

....and people did love it....🤣

We do love it (or, at least I do)!! LOL HIlarious! Uh oh, I'm using too many of something; perhaps I should stop. I loved Period and Apostrophe. Also, Parentheses was/were cute popping in. Great sketch!😂🙌

Ahaha, laughed hard at the German part. Indeed, our writing is direct and to the point. I like it that way.

“People will love it.” Don’t underestimate how nerdy we can be! These jokes are funny! 😂

As an editor, I very much appreciated this 😂

You are so ridiculously talented and hilarious.

This is one of my favorite concepts I have ever seen a video about I love it.

😂 You are so creative and funny! Thank you for the laughs.

You really beat Pixar in the whole "give random things some emotions"

I'm convinced you're the most creative youtuber because it's always something I don't expect 😅 But it always works and end up being amazing 👍

Soending 5 hours on an email snd only having half a sentence is so relatable 😭

I love Exclamation Point's wig. Fits with his character. Or maybe I should say, "I love Exclamation Point's wig! It fits with his character!"

Lovely - will use this in (Swedish) class tomorrow with my students - never has inter-punctuation been explained better 👏

So question mark is just your anxiety?

Yes, we do love it Frank!!!!

You can even make punctuation funny! Pure gold.

Please keep these "If ______ were people' videos coming!! I LOVE THEM! 😊

Dude ur videos are sooooo funny and relatable 😂😂

As always, the hair choices were so fitting for each character. 😂

I love this so much! There is nothing more satisfying than really good punctuation. Okay, that’s not true. A good book, a good vacation, a long talk about something philosophical, and a few other things. But you get the point! ☺️

1:44 "he's high all the time" is actually very funny

That was great and now I am scared to use any punctuation marks lol Thanks for sharing

Holy shit, this guy's creativity is godly

Really well thought out and delivered, Frank! Inspires me to direct my craziness in a creatively fun way 😁

I love the overthinking at the end like an INFJ. I’m the same way 😂 So, fun fact. When I did international business, the Germans had the most exclamation points in the emails. They seemed very chipper and excited about the weather! 😂 The French had fewer exclamation points, and I found out from my tutor when I studied French that unlike the Germans and English speakers, French speakers see exclamation points as expressing anger or annoyance. They see periods as calm. So I always take out ALL the exclamation points in messages and comments to French people. It had never occurred to me to think of punctuation as communication in that way differentiated by language up until that point.

Quotation Marks (" "): Quotation Marks would be a master impressionist, effortlessly mimicking the voices of others. It loves to play dress-up with words, adding emphasis and clarity to speech.

As an editor I love it. It was hilarious. I like how Ellipsis is personified as a creepy/suspicious guy. 😆😆

Meanwhile Bracket, Curly Braces, and Vertical Pipe were too busy investing themselves in computer programming to ever figure out where they belong in grammar

Such a cool idea for a video! Loved it!

Wake up y'all frank uploaded!!!!

One of the many brilliant ones!!! Brilliant. Well…this is…brilliant… Brill’ Bro’

Nahhh Frank ! You're so creative 😲🔥

English major here. This might be one of my favorite videos you've made yet! Parenthesis is correct; you don't know how to use the semicolon. ;)

This is a favorite. I absolutely love the way you have personified punctuation marks! "..." is the best, lol!

0:05 = (.) first appeared 0:13 = (?)first appearance 0:25 = (.) second appearance 0:29 = (!) first appearance 0:54 = (,) first appearance 1:04 = (!) Second appearance 1:07 = (;) first appearance 1:16 = (()) first appearance 1:18 = (') first appearance 1:43 = (,) second appearance 1:46 =(" ") first appearance 1:57 = (. . .) First appearance 2:14 = (:) first appearance 2:32 = (()) second appearance 2:33 = (?) second appearance 2:42 = (.)third appearance Just watch the last fcking minute by yourself idk why i wasted so much time in writing this 3 minute video

So need the smiles that this creative Frank did today!

I love that the brackets () appears randomly and speaks facts or inner thoughts, making the use of a bracket lol it made my day

"If you don't use me, you are going to come across cold, emotionless, and/or German" 😂 actually lol'ed for that one!

"Just leaving the room would be super helpful"😂😂

" mon' in my sal' " Thank you, Frank James, I will now proceed to change my entire dialect just so I can talk like Apostrophe. It's beautiful.

So good! Hilarious! Relatable!!! I use exclamation marks so much!!!

/ as a person: “I’m too cowardly/scared for this problem/situation! If only I had acquaintances/friends/brothers/siblings to gaslight/gatekeep me!”

“Then I end up sounding like the beginning of a Mr Beast video.” 😂😂😂 Also, loved the way the parenthesis appeared. And ellipsis saying, “If you know what I mean….” What a great skit, my man. 😂

This was spot on though! The ellipses had me laughing so hard.

I loved how the background music changed for every punctuation mark, so hilarious 😂 Also, Germans actually use exclamation marks... maybe... sometimes (yeah they totally do!)

the bracket guy is definitely the most relatable

The ellipsis being super ominous was my favorite part!

The intensity of ''This calls for nuance and subtlety!'' is brilliant! 😂 I love that so much lol 😄 ''it shouldn't take more than five minutes'' and then getting upset five hours later when there's only half a sentence done is a bit too accurate 😅 I really like how you turn around to look at Parentheses leaning in too lol, and the pep talk from Period aww lol. ''It's a g'd'ea'' 🙈😂 the little head wiggle at his brother 😄 I knew I was using the ellipsis badly lol, but I'm not going to be able to forget the creepy version now lol. Loved the video 😊

This is so funny. Thankyou Franks for making an entire video on punctuation jokes. You pick out the most unusal topics to joke about and we love it 😂❤

I honestly can't think of anyone else who excels at making such videos better than you. Keep it up Frank James

As a teacher, this is a good video for when the kids are studying punctuation marks. Just solved the problem of explaining them in a fun way! 😂

Wow, this is a brilliant sketch! Period.

This was one of your best, Frankie boy!

“People will love it”, objectively true! At least in my case? (I had to comment; It was so good.) Here’s a list of great things in the video: …hmm…

0:43 "If you don't use !, you're gonna come across cold and emotionless and / or german" It's actually funny because I (as a German) was thinking like "do I even use ! in e-mails at all? Is that a thing ppl do? Doesn't it seem rude and loud screaming?" (I guess sometimes I use it in e-mails but only if it's a bit more casual)

Iove how every punctuation mark’s subtitles end with their punctuation mark

He's high all the time is brilliant. Elipses... so mysterious and ominous.. AMAZING AND CREATIVE CONTENT!!!

You've got crazy ideas xD

This is so good. As a student, this is relatable too as i was currently studying the rules of where to apply different punctuation marks❤❤ Btw, it's "Gandhi" not "Ghandi"

“Cold, emotionless, and/or German” 💀

I love how parentheses is just in the background. (I am always in the background)

Great idea and an amazing video as always. ❤

we don't get how you come up with all these, but we're also so thankful! Also, I accidentally sent half a tirade of an email post- many-wrongdoings but um, just let go of my sanity at that point and called it a day

I love the way the sounds in the background add the right mood and the ease with which you can add personality to any unlived object. I love your videos!!

This person . . .DID love it!!!! Made me: blow my tea out my nose, cough like a blee ( What"s a blee? The ultimate of anything is a "blee") and rewatch several parts; also shared and hit like.

The apostrophe was the best part 😂😂

"You are bad at your job, but still objectively underpaid." -Frank James

Love ur vids. Istp here

I love how all the punctuation use themself only in the subtitles

You always make me laugh so much

You're gonna come across as cold, emotionless..... AND OR GERMAN 🤣

Perfect and brilliant as always 😂❤
