- [Ghostly Voice] Hey, hey hey how y'all doing? - Hey there, welcome back to my channel. If you're new here, what's up? How's it going? And if you're
coming back, what's up? How's it going? It's very good to see you again. I hope you're doing well. You see what happens when
you subscribe to my channel, you get an extra greeting at
the beginning of every single one of my videos. So press the subscribe
button for an extra greeting. Folks, (clap) alright. For those who don't know
me or never see my videos before that intro that
I do that I just did. I do that in all my videos. Okay. It's a, it's a little tongue and cheek, running gag that I have on my channel. And last week I forgot to do it. When I forgot to do it, I was like, okay, I
messed up, but it's fine. You know, it's, it's just
one video without it. It's just a little funny little intro, you know? No one's going to
be that pissed at me, right? Wrong (buzz) like 90% of the comments
on my last video were about the lack of the intro. And they
were getting very mad at me. You guys ripped me a new
one. I have two assholes now. And you think more the merrier. You think that that's a good thing, right? No. The more the scarier. My second butt hole is where
my belly button used to be. And I don't know which hole the
poop is going to come out of when I sit down. So it's
like Russian roulette, but poo Russian Poulette. But in response to all this
backlash about me forgetting the extra greeting, I thought it'd be funny
for me to go on Twitter and write a super long apology on the notes app and you
know, just tweet it out. Cause that's what you do. That's what you do when you're in trouble. You write a bunch of crap on
the notes app and that's that? Hold on, yo, what if you had
to apologize for something, but you had an Android.
What do you do then? You're screwed. I wanna do a real apology, but I can't. Okay. Maybe I'll just do a video apology on my Samsung galaxy S two. Hey guys. Just want to say I'm very sorry. I hope you guys can forgive me. So yeah, I posted my apology on Twitter and this is what it said; "Some of you may be aware
of the situation already, but I wanted to get ahead of
it so you can hear it from me first. This is a very serious issue. When I feel terrible about
hurting a large group of people, I know an apology isn't
going to fix everything and you will still have
your opinions about me after all this, but I hope you can see
where I'm coming from. I want to sincerely apologize
for not giving an extra greeting in my newest YouTube video. It was wrong, irresponsible
and just downright stupid. I'll be taking some time to
self-reflect and really learn from my mistake. Love you guys. Thank you for understanding." That's like one of my most
liked tweets of all time now, and you know, I expected, you know, people to like play along with
a bit and like fake cancel me and shit. I expected that, but not to
the extent that it got to, if that sentence makes sense. Like an hour after I posted my apology, #KurtisConnerisoveraparty was trending in America, in Canada for like several hours. So I thought for this video, we would go through that
hashtag, this is the real #Kurtisconnerisoveraparty okay. And you will get a loop
bag at the end, I promise. Let me just say really quick,
cancel culture is kind of, it's pretty annoying to me. Whenever I make a video about someone or like a trend that's going on, it's never my intention
to like cancel them. That's never what I want to
happen. I'm not just every week. I'm not just like, who am I
going to cancel this week? Whose career am I going
to kick in the butt? Like some weird Twitter, super villain. Cancel Elgort or whatever, I don't know. I want people to like, you know. Learn from their mistakes
and like grow as a person, even Sebastian balls, dude. - Good day I'm going to be
bringing you my girlfriend by cheating on her. - Sure do I want him to change everything about what
he does and who he is? Yeah, absolutely I do. I never want his life to be ruined though. But anyways, when my over
party thing was trending, a lot of people thought I
actually got canceled and understandably so, because if you see something
trending on Twitter, you're like, oh, this is,
this must be serious, right? We got this tweet here that I really like, I haven't seen the new video yet, but I bet it's not as bad as
the news is making it out to be some people just don't understand context. This person just saw the
apology and he was like, you know what? No, I don't care. I don't know what you did, but
I'm sure it wasn't that bad. But yeah, once people finally realized
that I wasn't actually canceled and it was just like a big
joke. People got pretty upset. Like this tweet right here, "Kurtis Conner fans
are the lamest people." Sorry you had to find out this way, but apparently you guys are the lamest. Isn't that Broadway musical lamest? (murmurs) - I'm actually not that
mad at this person though, because their art is sorry to that man. So that's nice that
they apologize upfront, or maybe they're art is @sorrytothatman. That would be way better. My most sincere apologies to
the man with the tater tot hat. I hope you can forgive me my leash. But yeah being canceled,
It's not very fun, even though it wasn't real. It's not a very fun thing
to go through though. But believe it or not, I wasn't the only person
getting canceled that day. Well, I guess I should
say thing. Not person. I was trending the same time that #primevideoisoverpaty was trending, which is pretty cool. I didn't know you could
cancel a subscription service. Well, I know you could cancel
the subscription service, but like not, not like that, you know, apparently they were canceled for putting the wrong cast member on the movie or some shit I don't know. But I'm just picturing the
person who started that hashtag was like overheard their
mom say something like, "hey, we don't really use
prime video that much, maybe we should just cancel it." "Oh, don't worry mom,
#primevideoisoverparty. Now we wait. Why? What did you do? I tweeted. Perfect. (screams) I understand why people were
so like interested in why I was over I guess. Like whenever there's a YouTuber like scandal, people fucking
lose their minds, Dude. Even me personally, I am
for, I'm sad to say it but, whenever there's like YouTuber drama, I wanna know what's going on. You know? Like I want to be informed. I don't care enough to watch like a full fucking
45 minute apology or whatever. Cause obviously way too long of a video, shorten it for sure. So I understand why people
didn't want to research why I was getting cancelled, you
know, too much to read, but some of the responses
were so frustrating. I need some backstory! Some backstory. Okay. I guess it all started
my first day at kindergarten. I was 13 going on 14. I had just peed in the
sandbox and said, look at me, I'm a little kitty cat. (meow) The teacher threw up
and immediately retired. And I thought to myself, maybe
I shouldn't have done that. There is no backstory, dude. That's, you read it,
read the fucking tweet. And then another similar tweet, this one fucking made me laugh a lot. "What happened to lmao?" They commented what happened, with a video of some guy cutting an orange. Just read the thing. What happened? Fuck man, that's so funny. This is my impression of this
person watching the Titanic, the full three-hour Titanic movie. Wow. (upbeat music) Why'd the boat go under
water. I need some backstory. A lot of the other tweets I
saw were just from people who were tweeting the hashtag and
using the hashtag to promote the people that they like, like this one, #KurtisConnerisoverparty. I don't know what he
did, but stream sing in. Like they just wait for
another over party to trend. And they're like, oh my God,
I don't know what happened. But stand the fucking cast of outer banks. It's a show I like, like when you want to know what happened before you tweet out a hashtag
that says they're canceled. That's I'm just, I'm getting old, man. I'm getting very old. I guess people just like seeing
other people fail, I guess. And they just get really excited
whenever they see someone get canceled, that they're fucking foaming at the mouth and both of their butt holes, (fart sound) are like, yes dude. Your cast, dude are you usual
freaks and geeks? Because, (murmurs) here's a great example of one of those tweets that made me
laugh like really hard. #Kurtisconnerisoverparty maybe if he did this. (upbeat music) I mean, yeah. Hey dude, if I could do that,
I would do that all the time. I know they're like kind half joking when they tweet stuff like that. But that whole thought process is just really funny to me like, the only thing you need to
protect yourself from being canceled is the ability
to play the guitar. And you're fucking, you're free to go. No guitar, strings attached. (whistle) (sigh) I've tried to film this
video so many times. I just wanted to sit down, there's been a lot of stuff, rumors, accusations going on about me. And I just, I just wanted to set
things straight, okay. First off I want to say I'm sorry. And second off (upbeat music) Dude the thing that
fascinates me the most about cancel culture is like how
selective it is. You know? Like they'll cancel someone
for saying some offensive slur like 15 years ago. But
when someone like 6ix9ine pleads guilty to sexual
assault and then they go to jail for racketeering after
snitching on a bunch of people, then they're released and they come out with a shady song where he
screamed the N-word 15 times, then that's just fine I guess. Yo did you hear about Tyler? He said a word that sounded like a slur when he was three months old. So yeah, we had him
expelled and then killed. But anyways, play that new Google bro. (upbeat music) Dude that's another thing, bro. I feel like they should have added more years to 6ix9ine sentence, for the way he fucking
titles his songs, dude. Fefe, Gooba, Wondo, Rondo, Mooky. Dude these are all sounds. My belly would make if
you poke them a bunch, Fefe, Mooky, Wondo, Gooba. I just think if you're
going to cancel someone for, for something, then you should cancel
everyone for doing that thing. Right? Oh. Hey, here you go. I want you to keep that. - I said this earlier, but I've never really been
a fan of canceling people you know? Obviously if there's someone like fucking Harvey Weinstein or Austin Jones or Romeo Lacoste, for sure cancel them dude. But if someone said something
offensive like 10 years ago, I don't think it's necessarily
fair for that to ruin their current situation where they've
grown and learned to become a better person you know? And I guess that's where this
whole thing is really tricky because like, where's the line? How do we know if they're better? It's tough, you know. Like was Joji out of line
when he was doing all that Filthy Frank stuff? Personally, I don't think so. But a lot of people were
trying to cancel Joji this week when they found out that
he was Filthy Frank, like they found out
this crazy fucking thing that nobody knew about it. Dude that's like trying to fucking cancel William Dafoe for
being the green goblin. He was playing a character, man. Yo, how many, how many
hashtag blank is over parties? Do you think exist in
like the MCU every day? There's gotta be a new one, dude, wow, can't believe he got the
university's population in half. Maybe if he stayed in Luna, then that wouldn't have happened. #thanoisoverparty I know nothing I say in my
YouTube video is going to change how people react to scandals and stuff. But I just think it's kind
of funny because I can almost guarantee you that the people
trying to cancel people have for sure done canceled
worthy stuff in their past, but their past and their
mistakes aren't in the public eye and for people to see and dig up. So it doesn't really affect them at all. Like for example, last year, someone found an old tweet of
mine from 2009 where I said a homophobic slur. And
obviously I apologize for it. I was upfront about it. I was like, hey this was 11 years ago. I obviously know that word
is not okay to say now. And I never say it now, but you don't just stumble upon
a tweet from 2009, you know, like you have to actively search for that. But like the person who
found that tweet of mine was a Katy Perry fan, and they found it right after I made a joke about Katy Perry. So, it's just a lot to me how
quick people are to jump and cancel people for, for whatever reason. Like these tweets here. "I thought Kurtis Conner
was actually canceled and got excited." "I thought kurtis conner got canceled for real for a second and I was so happy. Sorry, stay mad. If you so mad Sorry Jen. Stick these up your two assholes. ♪I know they want to see me
fall, too bad it's spring. ♪ I don't know, I guess
thank you to everyone who had my back and was explaining
to people what was going on and that it was like a bit. I would hate for someone
to stop watching my videos cause they thought I was cancelled. I want them to stop
watching my videos because they hate them. In conclusion I guess I think
cancel culture as a whole. I think it started with like
really good intentions, right? Like rallying together, making your voice heard and like exposing someone for like abusing their power, being a predatory. That is good, Okay. That should still happen. But when you like actively
search for reasons to end someone's career by like looking
through their past and like stuff they said when
they were a kid and shit, it's like, I don't know that's weird. And this is a very
tricky subject. Cause I, I don't get to say you
shouldn't be offended by this. Like it's not my place to say it at all, but I just think that people
should be allowed to make mistakes when they're young and, and not have it affect their
life as an adult, you know, unless you're Romeo the cast, because he's a weirdo. Okay enough of all this cancel talk, let's talk about something
you should never cancel. And that is Express VPN, that's right. Express VPN is a sponsor of this video. So let's talk about them, alright. I've been using express
VPN to protect my online data for over a year now. And I use it pretty much
every single day on all of my devices. Did you know that without a VPN, a virtual private network
hackers can access your credit card information while you're online, shopping on an un-encrypted
network? while it's true and dude If a hacker gets
your info, it is bad news. Okay. They can spend your money, access your accounts all because
you didn't have express VPN protection. And that's problematic okay. #hackersareoverparty. Now there's a ton of
VPN services out there, but I'm going to tell you why
express VPN is the best one. They have the fastest speeds. They have apps for every
device. It's easy to use. You can connect with just one
little click and express VPN was rated the number one
VPN service by tech radar. Another amazing thing about
express VPN is they have server locations in 94 countries. So if you want to access
content that isn't available in your country, just a
few little tiny clicks, and that problem is solved the guy. And that feature has been
especially amazing these past few weeks because I never leave my house. So it's nice that I can watch
whatever my two little balls want to, eyeballs. Now, this sounds amazing, right? Of course it does, but it
gets even better, okay. Express VPN is less than $7 a
month with a 30 day money back guarantee. So take back your internet
