r/Dontyouknowwhoiam | READ A BOOK??? 

saying read a book to stephen king is like saying “touch grass” to a tree

Tony Hawk is the kind of guy to win a Tony Hawk look a like contest and then they only later learn he was Tony Hawk.

Me: accidentally disrespects a celebrity Them: don’t you know who I am? Me: no, I don’t

1:30 Telling Stephen King himself to “Try reading a book sometime.” is like telling an old bird to learn how to fly. He’s the last person you wanna tell how to do their job…

Telling Stephen King to read a book has the same vibe of that one programming job listing for a Node JS developer that only the creator of Node JS would be able to fill.

5:30 Dude arguing with the punisher writer is the biggest dim-o-tron ever

14:10 _"You are not speaking English."_ *How much more English can you get than cricket?* 💀

4:00 if I'm remembering correctly, that's an indian politician who abandoned his wife and basically pretends she doesn't exist because he was such a piece of shit to her. I guess maybe he remarried and the first wife is commenting on the second wifes photo.

A guy once called me a racist because I mentioned Vietnam still had dog-eating social problems. I guess I didn't live here since I was born and study law which focuses on social issues.

whos this guy again?

The thing about the Punisher bit is that the guy’s whole “there’s a reason he doesn’t smile bunch” is like…. actually a reason Gail’s joke works even better, actually….. And his weird fixation on “probably female centric” (also the “probably” Lmfao) is….

6:00 Gail is the best. One of the most critically acclaimed (and top selling) comic writers of all time, and she has zero time for anyone's misogyny and bullshit. Met her a few times at C2E2. Usually she's super busy when she's at a convention, but she does recognize regulars and always has a nice word if you talk to her

Poor doctor finding an article written by the patient. Kudos on them trying to look it up, but damn...

14:31 Shane "Warnie" Warne is possibly the greatest Australian Cricketer in history and a great leg spin bowler (Think of a curve ball but for cricket). Basically telling a legendary bowler that he should bowl better is why it was on the subreddit. Warnie passed away a few years ago from a heart attack in Thailand.

Man, I really respect the humility of that Kyle Clark dude. He had a bunch of meaningless praise directed towards his old work and not only didn't feed the Twitter hoard, but also straight up admitted that it wasn't anything special and any competent journalist would've done it the exact same way. We definitely need more humble people like him running the media these days, society wouldn't be anywhere near as fucked as it is now if every journalist was like him.

For my non-Australian friends, asking Shane Warne if he knows how spin bowling in cricket works is like asking Stephen King if he knows how narratives in stories work.

2:22 I play split gate, and hearing "Killitoration!" is satisfying. For those who don't know, Killitoration means a 10 kill streak

King writes too many books to have time to read any.

0:09 Someone on the internet admitting their mistake? What kind of alternate universe is this?

Robin is in my top favorite emkay narrators. Literally LOVE him and his sense of humor 😂

14:14 Shane Warne is a well known former australian cricketer and the stuff he's talking about is Cricket terms.

4:50 is honestly kinda wholesome. Telling some dude about something really cool he did without realizing he was talking to the person.

7:20 When I went to a doctor last year after my accident that *shoved my kneecap sideways* and had to walk on crutches for like 2 months, the guy didn't do anything but sit on his desk and type some stuff on his computer. Bless the doctor in this timestamp to actually inform himself and try to figure out the issue with heart and interest. Those people are rare nowadays.

18:33 This made me laugh so hard bc I’m a Hermitcraft girly, and that is xB energy at its finest 😂

14:20 The irony of saying "You are not speaking English, what the hell are you talking about" when the text is discussing cricket, the most English thing ever, is hilarious.

The thing about harrison ford is if you do ever meet him never talk about star wars because he enjoys Indy more than Han Solo

14:10 The post is about cricket. The guy asked Shane Warne, an australian bowler who is highly regarded as the best spin bowler of all time if he knew anything about spin bowling

Im certainly not the first person to say this but… WE NEED ALL THE EMKAY NARRATORS IN A VIDEO PLEASE!!!

14:05 FYI Shane Warne is a famous Australian cricketer. (He's talking about the game of cricket). And yes the "Nz" is referring to New Zealand, dunno why the z is lower case.

They even make a joke in Alan Wake 1 that Poets of the Fall sound a lot like Old Gods of Asgard during one of the radio broadcast sections where they played a Poets of the Fall song. And some people still didn't make the connection?

20:44 I knew a guy who took a trip to South Korea and his Korean friend convinced him to get a haircut while he was there. Every hairdresser in the shop wanted to touch his head because they had never seen curly hair before. 😂

i love when robin laughs-

These tales remind me of a woman who had converted to Catholicism. She was so stoked, she took a pilgrimage to the Holy City, to see the Pope. When she had her time to meet Him, the first thing she did was to tell His Grace all about the wonders of being a Catholic. Nothing like the exuberance of the Newbie...

14:22 As others have stated, this post is about Shane Warne, a legendary cricket player from Australia (who tragically passed in 2022). The fact that the post reads weirdly is because he was talking about a cricket test match.

The things that people believe, only to turn around and question other totally legitimate things, absolutely baffles my mind.

5:50 that is literally such a painful moment to witness. Of all hills he chose to die on he chose to die on the hill of lies.

3:52 “Goa” is one of the Westernmost states in India and “Aunty/Uncle” is an Asian/Middle-Eastern term for an older woman/man.

14:15 Cricket. He’s talking about New Zealand cricket.

Just love how the famous skateboarder that has video games based on him looks like your average bob standard guy but with epic skateboarding skills

5:09 “Actually Punisher has a reason for not smiling” that’s… that’s the point?

14:25 I see the issue, Warnie was a famous Aussie cricket star. Both him being Aussie and talking about cricket is probably why you don’t understand it. But you probably should’ve recognised Nz as New Zealand

5:24 jokes aside that whould be terrifying to see him smile as he kills you

Friend of mine once called some telecom hotline because he had moved and they didn't manage to move his account / connection to his new location to the agreed date. So the lady on the line explained in great detail, that she couldn't do anything about it and it had to be escalated to some higher ups yada yada. He then went on telling her: "Ok. You see the screen in front of you, yeah? Click on that button top right, and enter the following stuff in the fields that appear. Then press the OK button below." She of course questioned how he knew this - "Because I fucking wrote that program."

21:05 lol back in high school i went on a class trip to china and so many people were absolutely awestruck to see a bunch of white teenagers walking around. i got asked to take a selfie with three separate people while shopping in shanghai, and when we took group photos out in public there was a 100% chance some random stranger would take their own photo of us too

the post at 14:26 is about cricket and Warne is one of the best boller's ever so yes he knows what he is talking about

14:37 dude argues with Shane Warne , the greatest spin bowler, ever on spin bowling.

12:15 Actually not, people who live in big countries tend to be very ignorant of what other parts of said country look like.

13:45 never expected a conversation about trollhunters

Dang, I guess Kill-A-Man-Jaro has gone from the lexicon…

12:42 That was me at some point, years ago. I was heavily into the rollercoaster simulator "No Limits," and I had found an amazing design on the website. Then later on, I found the exact same design on RU-vid, and I was foolish enough to not check the description. Called out the videographer for taking credit for the rollercoaster designer's work, only to be told that they were in fact, the same person.

I can finally die happy when I know that my favorite narrator from my favorite channel loves my favorite band of all time. Thank you Robin, EmKay and Poets of the Fall!!!!❤

I think that borderlands movie looks great... "Stupid and batshit fun" is perfect for anything borderlands.

18:42 yooo first time seeing a hermit in an emkay vid :D

1:41 I'd like to add more to the irony by saying that they mention how "failure drives us to improve" about a movie that features Captain freaking Marvel from the MCU, a.k.a. Captain No Responsability.

2:48 Good to know that the expert can call himself to help himself lol 😂

11:02 It's Javascript. Nobody knows about javascript. If you wrote a book about javascript, it would probably going to be out of date by the time of publication because javascript is changing really quickly. It used to be only 1 server side runtime, Nodejs, then came Deno, then came Bun, then came Winterjs.

I feel like the funniest thing to do at this point is to just tell other celebrities you recognize that they look kind of like Tony Hawk

Robin not getting the shane warne/ cricket one was hilarious

13:38 **gasp** Trollhunters reference? Loved Gnome Chompsky 🥰

1:33 is one of the greatest Faxes in MLB on FAX history.

0:50 walked into Gerhard Schröder, former chancellor of Germany at a sushi bar. Jovial elder gentleman, him. Struck up a conversation with everyone while he waited for his order, downed a sake while we talked. You could think he was just a local guy, if he wasn't being carted around in an armored Mercedes with an agent behind the wheel.

2:43 DOUBLE KILL! MULTI KILL! ULTRA KILL!!! M-M-M-MONSTER Kill!! God help me if I'm remembering UT 99 wrong.

14:02 That's all cricket talk. Shane Warne was a cricketer for the Australian team. This info comes from a guy who's not even interested in cricket but has been forced to know who the guy is, because people kept bringing him up in conversation when he used to play.

4:39 ok that one’s (somewhat) wholesome. He wasn’t being rude or sarcastic too.

"You can be that?!" yeah, that's programmers

The username at 10:55 is just too perfect

1:40 If he wrote "Try reading a book without snorting cocain" it would have been a sick burn

9:02 great way to cover who said it, nobody will ever know how to find it

1:44 off topic but my fav movie is the dream catcher by Stephen king. it's actually pretty good would recommend

6:43 at least yk, he was kind enough to research for the PATIENT

14:25 The guys talkin bout the Internal Cricket Championship Test World Cup. Test is a form of Cricket played internationally. And ICC is the board which scheduels the matches. Kind of like FIFA and international football. Edit: all the terms ya didnt understand Robin, are terms for cricket, so you wouldnt understand of you havent seen it many times or played it.

14:02 -- Robin has to read a Reddit conversation about cricket, which is like a ChatGPT version of a two-team sport.

0:17 The joke here might be that they said 'who the f are you' and their user is legit their name. They're not a known person but their introduction is already in their user. After all you identify a person by their names first.

5:25 the dipstick going off about Punisher's reason for not smiling being a big part of his character and backstory only furthers the point OOP was trying to make with the rebuttal. Maybe that could be a reason qhy real women don't like being forced to smile

1:06 Using Fandom as a source 😭

2:27 I'm a "you died!" kinda guy.

7:26 - don't forget "have you tried losing weight"

Johnathan stevens aint taking disrespect lol

The fact that they had the balls to cast KEVIN HART as ROLAND is unforgivable.

4:18 I really like their 2023 hit “Dark Ocean Summoning” it really helped It got me out of a dark place in life

20:57 According to google he's 6'2 so dude's a friggin tower lmao

18:32, Wasn't expecting a Hermit to show up here. 20:44, He's 6' 2'', (~188cm)

Happened to me, too. I wrote a short story, and a fan started brainstorming expansion ideas on her blog. Really cute! Anyway - one of her blog readers found her brainstorms, then my story - so they then came after me to accuse me of plagiarizing my fan. Not fun.

I haven't seen Troll Hunters in so long. I'm Surprised that I knew what that conversation was with no context.

The only thing I remember from after I finally got a kill in Halo is the word Suicide plastered on my corner of the screen.

2:07 my dad played in that tournament! He lost, but he still met OGRE 1 and 2! They are brothers who won the Halo 2 championship. (quick edit: idk if it goes like that, it been a while since he’s told me the story.)

So glad to see people appreciate Poets of the Fall! They are truly amazing

Telling Steve king to read a book is like telling an intern to “try and make as little money as I do for one day”

I learned what an aglet is from the Question on Justice League Unlimited, and their true purpose is sinister.

0:04 TERRARIA

I love that he's Dad first, husband second, doctor third. Really cute, though each role is commendable.

its weird how emkay constantly says "idk if this is true but i believe it is (for the video)" when he sees a topic little less well known for him to believe or be able to easily lookup

0:44 for a second I was who is this dad... then I remembered it was supposed to be about Tony Hawk.

As someone from northern ireland who doesn't keep up with the news thank you for reminding me how little our government actually shows up for work

As an American who watches cricket, your lack of Cricket knowledge disappoints me 14:20

21:25 I'll escort you around Japan buddy :DD

16:45 "arguably" b/c some people will argue that certain Russian players were better, he WAS and IS the most *Famous* though, since I can't even remember enough to google those russians!

"Why is she playing Lilith" is the most savage thing i have ever heard anyone do to Lilith

18:46 No way this dude called Claude 3 a "pointless piece of stupid trash" 😭💀

18:33 one of the only people in this video I know, lol! I didn’t expect to see you here xb
