No but on the real nostalgia is dangerous. Can go living your whole life reminiscing and never end up enjoying your life

“nostalgia is kinda scary” imagine how scary it will be when we’re nostalgic for Emkay and they don’t post videos anymore

Y'know the phrase "Dont cry over spilled milk" Yeah I cried when I spilt milk when I was little, and now I spill milk every time I pour it. It's a curse

The first person who said "don't cry over spilled milk" was probably saying it for their own sake and hated when their struggle became an axiom

The most relatable dude, the most relatable subreddit, most depressed me.

Yes, kids probably would still ask if you have a cat in person, but over Zoom they have much more excuse to demand he show the cat right now immediately because he is at home and the cat is at home lol

7:40 I had pizza from Little Caesars delivered once; it arrived an hour late, it wasn’t what I ordered, and I still tipped the delivery person $5 on an order that was at most $12. The pizza was pepperoni and I got my cheese bread so it was close enough.

That "spiraling out of control" article was written in 2015. Well after the point people started spending multiple hours online on any given day

Came into class one day without my homework, when my teacher asked why I told her, with literal tears in my eyes, that my cat had thrown up on and fried my computer. She was so stunned she just said, "I believe you, but even if I didn't I'd give you a pass because I have never heard that excuse before." So yeah, my dog didn't chew up my homework, my cat purposefully jumped into my lap to puke on it.

If silksong isn't released, you can always go to that one cliff!

6:51 here’s something from google I think a lot of us can relate to: Revenge bedtime procrastination refers to a phenomenon in which people put off going to bed to engage in activities that they don't have time for during the day. It is a way of finding time for leisure and entertainment-at the expense of sleep.

2:55 Usually, I just say “doing okay, can’t complain” which more often than not translates to “I’m still here and alive, not yet in crippling debt from the overbearing amount of bills that have to be paid with what little money I make at my menial jobs while attending virtual college, and not going insane from the lack of sleep from working 10+ hours daily”. So y’know, the normal stuff.

Just read about the boat that sank the transcript is heartbreaking as the crew slowly realised how fucked they all where the rhut row was someone joking about before it all went completely to hell all 33 crew on board went down with the ship and the tragedy was pinned on the captain for sailing straight into a hurricane even though the ship was old covered in rust

"poke your fingers in the mouth of someone yawning" "I do that with the cat" SAAAAAAAAAAME

"Man is using internet 90 minutes a day" **Laughts in 12 hours a day**

"Nostalgia is kinda scary" The Nostalgia Critic:

So glad I have this to watch while I wait for my arm to hopefully not be broken.

5:39 The "So You've Decided to..." book was originally from another episode. But it said was "So You've Decided to Steal Cable TV." Homer Simpson was selling parking space for the game at $xxx per axle. And that parking scene ended with someone driving up in a car with an unrealistic amount of axles.

I have never ran out of milk in my house... mostly cause my family gets like 6 gallons of it every week cause of how much I drink

Holy i just realized how much the mekay channel uploads, keep up your hardwork

I was once leading an activity where kids had to say their favorite color. I didn’t say mine because I didn’t have a clue what it was then. While we were going around one kid (who has strangled me before) nudged me and whispered “what’s your favorite color? I don’t remember mine” So I told her “black” because she wore a lot of black. And when it came to be her turn that’s what she told everybody.

Funi glove man is back

2:44 when you lose you winstreak when its on 419

The bit about knowing me while I obstruct you? That was me for all of middle school. And high school. I was free in my twenties when I learned that no one will care unless you convince them to, and full understanding is impossible. Ask for what you want, deprogram yourself of the shame of asking, and tell yourself that what you can manage is enough. I will never believe it, but I can fool myself sometimes.

3:46 I used to be the same way. I would set things on fire (mostly paper), just to watch it burn, then put it out. Then my room caught on fire from my heater. Then my house. Fun times.

Yeah, I’m in the high school part of the ‘burnt out gifted kid”, so excited for the next part

Watching emkay while having a mental breakdown just hits different ngl

2:24 my body: you'r out of your asthma also my body: omg! a kitty! let's die!

NGL being a spider sounds pretty good

You know sometimes I hate meirl because most of the time I'm like "you know that's pretty on the nail" ,then the slim parts it hits me like a semi truck like "God damn you didn't need to do that to me".

3:37 to 3:42 same here, sed to do it with my cat, then the whole family started doing it to the cat, he was an outdoors cat and did scratch/bite us when we got in fights, but when he yawned, he made sure not to bite us. so sweet of him

4:50 Went to therapy for like 3 years and counting. You don’t lose the funny, but you do know when to point out when people disguise trauma as jokes. Yes, I can tell “lmao” isn’t making it any better.

Edit: 5:26 Ya none of them. Plankton looks like she would kill me, Patrick doesn't look like my type and is also quite stupid in the show from what I've heard(not interested), Spongebob looks like a 'qUiRkY' girl, Squidward looks like a emotionally dead librarian, and Mr Krabs looks like he'd(she'd?) just take all my money and run(I do not trust that smile)

Just once Robin should open with "What's throbbin', I'm Robin."

*"HELP, I WOKE UP"* Yea.. I'm now saying this every morning

When anxiety is making you feel like you're stuck in an endless destructive loop, just beat it up. Emotions aren't people, and thus can't file lawsuits against you.

I don’t understand how some people can just be fine. No depression? No lack of motivation? No ANXIETY? How?

2:32 I can't, I'm chewing gum

One time I was super mad and this channel popped up in my recommended and cheered me up. Present day im watching them for the same reason.

Hmm Robin: I'm a sucker for pixel art Emkay: rejects my pixel art I spent almost an hour making in Mario paint on SNES and never shows it in the fanart section of a video

0:46 : am I too smart to understand this peasant joke? I use an ad blocker

Emkay makes my day

I'm just on my bed scrolling the comments with my cat and some cheese on toast this is my vibe for real.

11:30 the difference is the will demand to see the cat since you can just grab him from the other room

For some reason, every single person I've said this to hasn't realised it: Nostalgia isn't the memories of when times were good. Nostalgia is looking back on the way your life used to be and wishing that the problems you had, which seemed important at the time, could replace the far larger problems you have now.

5:24 when i do stuff without one i'm always terrified that gross stuff will get in my hair

pov: you're still processing 2015

This one felt a little more existential today

Knowing Robin also likes To the Moon and Finding Paradise makes me happy :)

3:10 I wish I could experience such hilarity, only to panic the moment I realize *shit, I'm late.*

11:11 The problem is having a concept of needing to "do shit," rather than just being/flowing.

6:09 No! Bad Human! This is how Shibuya gets covered in bones and it starts raining questionable red liquid.

7:31 that painfully feels like every child and their mom

The beginning of existence 😭 the end of existence😭

I like Kirkegård's take: There isn't an inheirnt reson we exist, but it is our job to create things in our life that gives life meaning, like friendships.

I keep clenching my jaw subconsciously and its such a pain. I’m scared its an infected tooth but then I realise its just anxiety which makes more anxious, which means I clench my jaw more and round and round it goes…

It's a good birthday when EmKay posts!

I am amused that whoever was recorded on that Merchant Mariner had enough of a sense of humor that even as true disaster presented itself, he simply answered it with the best Scooby quote as it was truly meant to be used. Feeling that 3 day holiday too.

For me it's not that "tell me about yourself" is a difficult question I just don't want to tell them I like playing games alone in the dark with AT LEAST half a pizza by my side

Between the hours of 12:00 and 6:00 am robots(animatronics) try and destroy you while you running around a mall (Security Breach)

You know the boomer millennial fast food divide would be solved if everyone asked for their correct meal politely and then waited in front of the restaurant out of the way of the drive through line

sometimes when i wake up i am reminded that i need to get out of bed and put my clothes on but then i close my eyes and half-dream myself getting up and putting my clothes on and then my mom comes into my room and asks me why i didnt put my clothes on and all i can say is "i thought i did"

I clicked fast and started off with great advice

7:20 Literally just finished eating my incorrect lunch… lol

3:19 my brain dosent even make any thing up i just have ptsd

I hate how relatable this thread is

The first one hit harder than a semi-truck

"nostalgia is kinda scary" yeah it sure is to someone who just got out of the backrooms or some type of liminal space

Synchronicity! I was just thinking about the "alarm becoming part of your dream" meme, and, lo and behold, here it is, one of the first few memes in this video I happened to click on.

90 minutes a day online? That's what we call ROOKIE NUMBERS!!!

"Put your finger in someones mouth to assert dominance" *you hear a chomp and your finger stings* *._.*

That guitar one is so accurate, i wanted a guitar for christmas and i got it, but then my aunt signed me up for guitar lessons..... Like i cant just learn myself trough youtube

Block-chain never forgets. Your shame lives on indefinitely.

6:43 is whats keeping me alive

We’re no strangers to love You know the rules and so do I A full commitment’s what I’m thinking of You wouldn’t get this from any other guy [Pre-Chorus] I just wanna tell you how I’m feeling Gotta make you understand [Chorus] Never gonna give you up Never gonna let you down Never gonna run around and desert you Never gonna make you cry Never gonna say goodbye Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you We’re no strangers to love You know the rules and so do I A full commitment’s what I’m thinking of You wouldn’t get this from any other guy [Pre-Chorus] I just wanna tell you how I’m feeling Gotta make you understand [Chorus] Never gonna give you up Never gonna let you down Never gonna run around and desert you Never gonna make you cry Never gonna say goodbye Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you We’re no strangers to love You know the rules and so do I A full commitment’s what I’m thinking of You wouldn’t get this from any other guy [Pre-Chorus] I just wanna tell you how I’m feeling Gotta make you understand [Chorus] Never gonna give you up Never gonna let you down Never gonna run around and desert you Never gonna make you cry Never gonna say goodbye Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you

for some reason when I cry during movies I die from embarrassment as everyone yells at me

Me Irl is essentially a breadbasket of Memes, Social Interactions and everyone single wishing to not be single. Luckily I would only post about one of these. You decide which.

0:52 me with a hacked client: signature look of superiority

Yo emkay you good you said deep stuff

10:45 bro i have amnesia

6:46 thats real shit right there it’s so peaceful when it’s late

watching this at 6:02 AM happy for thursday knowing damn well nothings gonna change

we love you emkay

I get the whole exoskeleton thing but spiders themselves are already a Halloween staple in their own right

Do you guys have a dream where you lost some of your teeth but instead of getting terrified you just, finally that cavity is gone I wonder if there is more so you pull more of your teeth.

@10:45: ...or...OR they tell you "no, that's not that way that happened". Like, Mom, I believe I was there for the trauma and you were 25 miles away. I think I remember it QUITE. VIVIDLY. The other one is when they look at you and just go "oh" with absolutely zero emotion. Like.....I just told you something that took me 24 years to tell ANYONE and I get a single, emotionless "oh". I've been hurt, but that cut deeper than anything ever.

one time a maccas worker got my order wrong, and when I asked about it nicely they quickly gave me four medium chips and four shaker fries bags for free. I was very thankful

oh also yknow what's interesting? dreams meld with reality really interestingly, as in like you can hear something irl and it will manifest in your dream in interesting way

My favorite narrator! 💜💜💜

Okay so I have severe anxiety but I also consume a lot of horror media, and it actually calms me somewhat because I have some control in the situation, and if I get overwhelmed then I can just shut it off and go do something else instead of being trapped somewhere I don't want to be.

Wait, you played To The Moon? Now that you mentioned it, I do remember a Robin in that game too...

The other day someone asked me my name and for some fricking reason I started acting like I was thinking because I’m socially awkward

i'm filled with nightmares on the back

3:37. I used to do this with my dog. But he wouldn't even be bothered. He'd just chill there with my finger sticking out the side of his mouth until I removed it

5:28 ayy that's me :> now I can say that the only thing I achieved in my life is I made it to an EmKay video

When the teacher tells you to turn to page 69, the classroom:lol, nice, pogers, nice, lol

3:39 for yawners to assert dominance you bite it's finger

The hand flips you off I just realized 0:10

The hand just flipped us off bruh

Me irl is just becoming r/depression
