Bill Wurtz On The History of the World

how long is the history of the world it's like for like 19 I was hoping it would be 5 because I didn't that time to take another 3 months off like you know so I was like ok 5 or 5 to 7 and then I was right I was writing it after two months I was still writing not making the video I was researching writing after 3 months 3 months and it's at 12 minutes and it's like reading at 14 yeah it's just you got to turn ads on dude so how long did it thank you total would be 11 months oh we're I don't recall were you gone during that whole time just like what do you mean were you posting videos no I was it wasn't done but I mean on your YouTube job right I didn't post it no there was nothing oh wow yeah it was rough every single day you wake up to like everyone saying probably and like gone from the yeah but you came back big time well I never left when you posted well I mean indical in the mental collective of the world so to speak yeah so let's move on to the history of the world then because that video now if I let's see that video the history of the world I guess has 55 million views and sits on our videos number two of all time with a hundred and seventy six thousand dollars do you use reddit but do you understand kind of yeah I know nothing that is so when you posted that video what was your expectation for the reception well it was I knew Japan did that it was number one so I was like okay this could and it's a huge escalation from the Japan video it's like the ultimate thing mm-hmm so I was like okay this could really get there but you just can never get yeah yeah which is scary I've been you know working on this for a year yeah I was thinking at the end of it was like I never want to spend this long again I'm very thankful that it came through and it so what was that like for you when you finally that must have been utterly relief I relief somebody told me somebody texted me and they said it's number one here it's number like thing I was just relieved spend that long you know you don't wanna and are you happy with how it came out that video yeah I guess I mean I haven't watched it since it came out so I think it's okay there's plenty of things that are just way undercooked I mean look it went through like you know within the first four months and something I started working on the graphics and stuff like that I was I mean I must have spent all day looking for images of different like Apes I must have spent all day looking at apes at finding that perfect clipart yeah and then I was like what am i doing it occurred to me that this is gonna take multiple years to finish if I don't seriously kick myself faster every day so it really just became again and again and again I had to just pick myself up and just go faster so that kind of goes back to the whole issue of deadlines because you're such a perfectionist when you remove that deadline it can probably drive you crazy yeah I mean but you know I mean around October I set a deadline of December 1st I was like this has got to get done during October November I was kicking ass I was like working so fast but it came around to December and I wasn't nearly done and then I just couldn't get out of bed for too much by the way it didn't get done to make way you said you can't you couldn't get out of bed you mean you were just despaired just like working so hard I was just like you needed [Music]
