- All right class, before we begin, I'd like to remind you guys about the assignment due next week. You've had months to do it, so it should be nearly done by now. - [Maaz] Oh. (rummaging) - [Mr.Footchan] Wha-- What're you doing? Wait Maaz, where'd you get the knife? Wait, wait Maaz, no! Maaz, oh gosh, what the-- Help, he's committed sudoku! (crying) Maaz, why'd you do it? - [Maaz] I'd-- (coughs) I'd rather die than do my assignment. - Hahaha, big mood. - Don't you find it weird that with an art style
that doesn't use eyes, I don't really use mouths either? Let's change that (snaps) Ever since starting this channel, there's been a worry
in the back of my head about how I portray
myself in my own videos. In real life, I'm just
an extroverted dork who laughs a lot, watches too much anime, and compares himself to
Bruno Mars way too often. But now, after telling you guys about how I murdered a
duck, cheated on a test, stabbed my brother, lost my love, and got way too attached
to dancing tigers-- Wow I've admitted a lot of things. I wouldn't be surprised
if parents looked at me with a mixture of fear and disgust, as they shuffle away to keep
their children 10 metres away. Well, it's either that or
my van filled with candy. And so what better way is there
to clear my own image than to regale you with the story
of how I pretended to be drugged up, lied to my teacher, and submitted my assignment
way later than the due date. (smacks lips) Yup, that's a good idea. Now, lemme give you a
quick medical lesson. Tonsillitis, it's when
there's an infection on these little pad things, called tonsils, at the
back of your throat. And not to brag or anything, but I had massive tonsils and I got infections every few weeks. I remember distinctly the doctor saying that my tonsils were the
largest he'd ever seen, like two golf balls at
the back of my throat! Man, it was kinda rough
having two large balls deep in my throat. What? It's a serious medical condition. And I'm not even kidding,
I was told that I needed to get surgery to remove my tonsils. That's how bad they were. And then the conversation shifted to the date of my surgery. Now, this is when I
started brewing some tea. You see, there really was a chemistry assignment at play here. Our teacher, Mr.Footchan, gave is this big report that was due in two months. And, being an absolutely stupid dingo, I was like, yeah it's all
right I can handle this later. I've got some Minecraft
Let's Play to watch. (foreboding sounds) 7 weeks later and I hadn't started. Oh, and Minecraft wasn't relevant anymore. - [Young Maaz] Oh gosh what have I done?! So, as you can imagine, when
the doctor asked me about when to have the surgery it was like a get out of jail free card for me. Because I could purposely schedule it around the due date of the assignment. And, that's exactly what I did. Like, surely they would
understand that I was literally having surgery, right? I wasn't just giving myself an excuse, it was just, like, like
an extension, you know? Psh, it's fine, it's fine
don't worry about it. Except it wasn't. Surgery was earlier on this week and the assignment was due that Friday. And guess what? I got a call the next week on the Monday afternoon from Mr.Footchan. - G'day mate, who's this? - [Maaz] Perhaps it was
due to the recent surgery, the pain medication, or the idea of my parents
absolutely whopping me around the place for
skipping an assignment. But I put on the deepest voice that I could at the time and went, "Yeah, Maaz's dad speaking." But, keep in mind that
I was 16 at the time and my mouth was still sore
so I was probably like, (high-pitched voice) "Yes
it is I, Maaz's father." - "Oh ahh, are you okay? (high-pitched voice) Ha ha
yes, I just have a cold. - (deep voice) Ha you fool, you have been duped by my extraordinary performance. (high-pitched voice) Idiot. - Oh, okay. Well, I'm not sure if
you're aware of this sir, but Maaz's assignments were due last week. You have any idea when he
will be able to hand it to me? - (high-pitched voice) Oh yeah, Maaz is really tired after the operation. He can't-- He can't even, like, play roblox. - Right, right. Well, I wish him the best of luck. (laughs) (phone disconnecting beeps) - He has been duped! (laughs) It's only now that I realized that, Mr.Footchan sounded
like he was smiling the entire conversation. And him asking if my dad was okay, was-- (laughs) It was way overseeing how
bad my excuse was gonna be. And look, an amateur teacher would have exposed me
right then and there. But, my boy Mr.Footchan was a pro. So he knew exactly what he was doing. Because put yourself
in Mr.Footchan's shoes, you have the stupid kid on
the other side of the phone trying to convince you
that he is the father. But no matter how BS
you think it might be, you can't just call out a
parent on the phone like that. 'Cause imagine if that really was my dad. He would've been like, "Boy! "You better sit right the freak down "with that accusation crap. "Don't make me curry in a hurry "down over there and beat
the everlasting sh--" No, no, no that would be-- that would be bad, don't-- Don't do that. So Mr.Footchan played it smart, and didn't even react at all. Not even when I was
handing in my assignment a week after the due date. He just kind of told me
off and told me to go through the proper channels to
get an extensions next time. And, nothing else. You know, no punishment. Not even when I got my assignment back. Yes! I just lied to my teacher about having surgery,
pretended to be my own dad, handed in my assignment
late, and I still got an A! And-- (laughs) I genuinely thought I'd
fooled him, as well. That is, until the very
last day of school. Almost 18 months after the incident. So the final day of high school is almost over and I'm
walking to my locker, ready to leave this godforsaken
school for the last time. When I coincidentally
bump into Mr.Footchan. Now, despite what I've told you, he actually was a good bloke. So you know, we chatted for a bit about graduation, and
future life, and whatever. And then he says, - Hey Maaz, have a question to ask you. - Yeah, whatsup? - Okay, look. Now that you've officially graduated, I can't really punish you or anything but, last year for your assignment, that was you who picked
up the phone, wasn't it? - (radio fuzz) "Mission failed" ♪ All around me are familiar faces ♪ - Wha-- What? No, that was my dad, obviously. Like, he had the deep
voice and everything. (siren sounds) (breathing heavily) Duped again! (laughs) - No, no I didn't run away, but I didn't tell him the truth either. I told him that it really
was my dad on the phone. (sighs) Come on dude. Like, there I was you know? Mr.Footchan completely calling
out my lie two years ago and I ran away like a little wuss. It's so weird too, because when
I look at this entire thing that's what I'd regret the most. Not lying to my teacher
about having surgery, not pretending to be my own dad, not even getting called out. Just the fact that I wasn't
able to own up to it. Not even after I'd graduated. To be fair, I think it was because I was paranoid that he'd ruin my university chances somehow. But even then, totally
should've admitted it. Because now, in my retrospective wisdom, I realize that I shouldn't have done all that in the first place. I really was a good student. And I don't exactly know why I rebelled against
this specific assignment. And that's why, my maartians, I've decided to send this video to Mr.Footchan directly, and
clear my guilty conscience once and for all. It's been six years now, but it's time for me to come clean. (sighs) (door slams open) - I freakin' knew it! - Wait what?! - Come over here you son of a-- (children screams) - Maybe I won't do that. No, no, no. All right, I'd like to
give a major shout out to LachieTheHuman, Natimation
Studios, and Therapidman 101. You guys, indeed, are super maartians and will lead the battle
in the front lines. If you don't know what a maartian is, with two a's, that's actually
the name of our fan base. And people don't actually know this, but we're actually the
strongest alien race out there. And we're all just chilling
in my planet, you know, ready to kind of, take over
the world actually, yeah. If you want to have a
chance for a shout out, make sure to subscribe,
hit the notification bell, like the video, and comment, "I have turned on the bell
and I am a super maartian." Especially the super Maartian part, I actually control + F
and then randomize it. And if you do that, I'll show some of you in the next video, you know? All right, hold on just a sec. You might be surprised by the 4-D animation that's in place right now, but I wanted to take it
just a little step up, above the lip-syncing that I've showed. So basically what happened was that, this video that I made was supposed to be out two weeks ago. But then finals came along and absolutely ruined any
hopes of that happening. So, rest in peace my video. And I was going to make a
video, a short little video, that I was going to delete, about how I'm going to vidcon U.S., okay. But it's a bit too late, you know? It's in a few days and I haven't even uploaded this video so, I thought I could just
merge them together. Anyway, I am going to vidcon U.S. I'm gonna be there from
the 20th to the 24th. I'm probably gonna be longer than that. I will be attending a lot of the panel, including the animated meet-up, which is actually happening on-- Oh, crap I don't actually know. It's here, it's happening
at that time and that day. I'd love to meet all of you there, and if you see me walking around, you know, the brown guy with
any kind of button-up shirt, or whatever, you'll see me
walking around with a bunch of my other animated friends, say hello to me. Say hi. And, especially, if you have
the Mayo proof merchandise. Oh hoo hoo! Buy my merch. Honestly, other than Vidcon,
I actually am really looking forward to just America in general, cause you guys drive on the the right side of the road, or use inches and feet, and have like everything
plus size already. It's weird, you guys are
very fat, very, very fat. All right that will be it
from 4-D animation maaz it took a lot of effort to animate this. Roll the endcards, all the fan art. (kissing sound) Love you.
(snaps) - [Maaz Narrating] Ooh, all
right hope you enjoy that. I've really tried to
step it up a few notches with this video and let me tell you guys, lip-syncing takes a crap-ton of work. I'd like to give a major, major thanks to Aidini Tortellini for helping
out me out with the lips and, actually, giving me some of the frames, to help me out a little bit and I'm not gonna lie, I
actually observed his animation to kind of improve my own animation. If you like my videos,
make sure to check him out. Very, very good visual style. I'm sure you'll like it as well. All right, thanks for watching
everybody stay amaazing. And stay hydrated.
