the link is in the description down below and once again a massive thank you tonight's Chronicle for sponsoring this video it really helps the channel out let's continue with the video yo what's up my beautiful weaves hi we're back again and today I want to do an idea that nobody has ever ever done on YouTube which is reacting to your old videos because why make something when you can just re-watch your old stuff and slap a label on it and call it brand new and by the time this video is released it will be over four years since I consistently started uploading YouTube videos which is kind of crazy to me I didn't think we'd make it this far but hey yeah we are so I figured we could just react to my earlier stuff and maybe explain some of the journey and also cringe cringe an absolute ton at the stuff that I said and didn't thought was funny and no doubt I will think the exact same thing in four years about this very video so let's just jump right in damn here we go oh so I guess let's just listen to the thing that I uploaded five years ago for a little bit my name's Connor also known as sea dog on many sites I've been voice acting for about three years but I've only got onto online recently wow you can like really hear like the Welsh tinge in some of the words I say wow that's so weird don't know how I got into it just thought I'd give it a go and Here I am I haven't really been done much on the internet yet boy I've got a lot of stuff coming out soon so we'll talk about later wow that's so weird to me my mind is like blown right now I haven't even watched this video in years like later later I say later now see this is the thing is that that's hunter sent down to voice acting I how I've liked my own video as well by the way I just realized that I actually liked my own video back then someone's covered here bad someone's got to be your biggest fan in the start and for me that was me well when people think noise noise removal and audacity is good enough and it's not most of the time and I think it depends on your voice though cuz it watches some clips there yeah and it won't do to others I don't understand it just destroyed mine butts definitely since voice acting I have want him sent like trained myself to enunciate words fully and say like you know water but like later that's really creepy to me because I sound just like my brother there that's literally how my little brother speaks that's like blowing my mind I genuinely didn't expect to be surprised with this video I thought I'd know everything about like me and my staff you can definitely tell I'm more nervous at this point and you know to be fair this was five years ago I do remember being you know whilst I was in school everything I was I was a very shy person and I think doing YouTube and doing all the stuff is definitely opened me up to more confidence oh this is also saying I remember falling in love with was back you know and Isaac and Mary F and oh but that's private it now kiss I didn't really want that on my channel I didn't want to be seen as like a fan dub or anything so I removed it but I do remember thinking it was like I really enjoyed doing this listen Maria yes make sure not to draw any attention to ourselves move slow and steady like a regular person that's it doll face smooth with his butter and jam well I uploaded this a day before my birthday in 2014 amazing surely I can't pick just one well it's not good my American accent is a lot better now as well but that's that's something that we can discuss as well you'll notice over the fan core videos that my American accent slowly gets better oh God erm Eagle adventures I remember this one as well I would say from this point this video onwards is when I like really wanted to make the YouTube thing work I was doing a lot of voiceover and I was enjoying it a lot but I found that you know I wanted to make youtube videos and this was the video where I really wanted it to like do well and it just didn't it didn't at all and there's a few reasons why let's watch I'm gonna share [Music] this is uh when my editing was to quality rap song each other yeah dude he definitely had better audio quality than me for some reason I don't know why I think I remember this I I've like had my microphone setting way too high so I would peak to hell and that's why I sounds so awful the whole video also look at me I like this this is an original song I can tell that like every single shot of the confidence that I had in me to do that I I know me and I know how I am and like I know that like my confidence was spent after I did that John such a bad video what's endearing you know I now this video this is the video that like put me on the map if you will man oh I've such a nostalgia with this video I was so excited for this video to come out and help you yes hello this is Honka mania nail strips for women for women oh okay yeah yes no it's not a gay club I'm sorry what if what if my friend dresses up as oh yeah why what if my friend dresses up as a woman then goes in we don't discriminate I mean we in a city like New York we have to we have to treat everybody equally okay okay okay this video is my baby for this one part that pisses me off and I don't know if people have noticed that this exists I don't know once commented about it so I guess no one spotted it so this line there I'm at say now I actually we recorded it and edited it in okay let's just assume a couple of straight guys want to watch some straight man dance is that okay yeah so that line was like actually we recorded and I pretty much never do that for these videos because I feel like it ruins them but back then I was like damn and I just need this one line to fit so I'll rerecord it to make the whole call go a lot better cuz I remember I like slipped up the line and it sounded pretty bad and sure this day that still bothers me that I don't that I had to splice about taking I'd been like trying to get these coals ever and I remember I pranked McDonald's like four or five times I cranked Walmart and like none of them like gave me anything funny so then when I did this hunk of mania one and like I thought it was kind of funny and I was like holy [ __ ] yeah I can do this and then you know you get on the roll and then you know I I did it and again like I was terrible at it saying so all of this took me forever but I remember being so excited with this video that I just didn't sleep like I was so excited for this video to get out because I thought at the time it was so so funny and to this day to be fair you know I think it's a pretty decent prank oh I don't think it's like bad by any means like I don't think it's aged horribly I mean the editing is garbage but overall I think the coals themselves are pretty solid I can't describe how much this video means to me and yeah I made a good thumbnail for it like to this day I think that thumbnail is still pretty nice that video makes me really happy right without that video I wouldn't be here right now isn't that crazy to think that like I would be where I am now if I did prank call like a good strip club after I made this video this was when I decided I was like okay I really want to make this YouTube thing work I'd done a ton of research on YouTube I had looked like I had watched so many videos talking about YouTube and the one thing that everyone said was upload consistently so I was like right what can I do what's easy because prank calls take a long time and I don't know if I can like make you know this many so I was like you know what I'll call fans and it's weird because the reason this video blew up was because back in 2015 Facebook groups were like all the rage right when I made the first Sebastian prank calls I was like I need to get this out there because I knew it was funny and I knew if people watched it especially fans of black by love than they would like roll on the floor laughing so I reached out to all of the black about the pages on Facebook that had more like five more than five thousand likes and I told them as like hey if you share this I'll use many voice recordings for your pages you want like as many as you want and they all said no except for one which had 80,000 likes at the time and that got my video some momentum and then the YouTube algorithm took it from there no way with this video I've got some steam the way it did and yeah I'm really thankful to those guys who did that it does also go to show though you know if you if your videos are getting zero views do need to think outside the box sometimes to get it out there you know try try something weird ask people you know trying offer favors you know and then when I decided that I wanted to do want one video a week I was like [ __ ] I can't do prank calls every week that's insane that takes too much time so I figured oh what is it Sebastian called fangirls so I told the page I was like hey are there any mods or admins on this page you want to be called and so that's how I got those numbers they were all in the same friend group they were the only people who are willing to give me their number to let me call them in a way that was kind of like charming and then after that video happened I then was able to be like hey guys you saw this video I can do that for you too if you submit your number so that's like walk up the ball rolling and from there yeah it just kind of took off and I went on this mad mad Black Butler train with occasional videos in between to try and get some more views like I did this this reading comments video where I drove is just shouting the whole time and then yeah I made this I dunno why I made this video but I thought it was hilarious at the time I read a fanfiction that was called Dora gets decapitated you know what to do asked Dora she move her right foot stepping on a tripwire sending a massive pointed lock to what her head instantly decapitating her bin Wow and then undertale came out oh and it made like this movie terrible undertale video it's called undertale just in case you couldn't you couldn't get that from the thing on the screen comedy you know this is a video that even like a month after it I knew it was just not funny at all I think the thing was is that I was really into dunkey at the time and I wanted to make a donkey style video and it just didn't work you know III don't like tell him fib ears well this guy's a bit of a bonehead you know for example when he served me the spaghetti he could have said bone Appetit Karl just stop talking oh this is the first time I ever spoke with Jerry as well yeah when I had 60 K subs Joey had just uploaded this rap video and I was working on a rap video at the time which never came out but I emailed Joey you know I sent him some of my videos I was like hey man like I love what you do this time Joey had like gone maybe I think he was close to a million or over a million at this point I was like hey man like what you do like his my videos like I've loved we could like collab on something sometime and yeah he replied to me and he was super nice like I think he said my voice was cool as [ __ ] I think I remember him saying that and you know I got to give him a lot of like props for you know reaching out to me and not reaching out to me but like hearing me out you know and give me a shot because a lot of youtubers you know they don't really listen to really small channels because normally their stuff isn't as good and my stuff wasn't good so I'm surprised he was willing to hear me out but ya know he was super nice about it oh then I also made this video that like it did really well on Facebook but it didn't do well on YouTube but nothing gets me all the time without suffering see little animated thingies he's probably just constipated and having a rough day easy there big stuff let's not be a crybaby let's take it like a man shall we I actually like the idea of this video and I wanted to remake it for a very long time the whole time I'd say from about like this point onwards is what I really wanted to get away from Black Butler cuz it was like a song I did you couldn't get like disassociated with but I still wanted to make black but the videos I just didn't want to be known it's like the one-trick pony dude this League of Legends video I was so proud of this video and like no one watched it and that's gonna be a common theme that's gonna happen during this video but actually has an interesting story behind as well let's watch a little bit of it nothing can hold me back shurima your emperor has returned the heart is the strongest muscle ill sir are a coward and a ruffian they will regret opposing me actually like like the impression still I think I did a semi-decent job I just hate how I looked in it I looks like a [ __ ] welcome to the League of dream I was a terrible driver impression Conor what are you doing oh my god my uncie Amato awful [Music] Jesus calmly spots you have on your face dude you could make a [ __ ] pepperoni pizza and then some Jesus ah this is when I started making the anime play series which is again a very popular series on the channel I hate to say this let's go watch some pornography as the kids do nowadays please playstation what is it a [ __ ] with you you see owner we you Milo let's go to the basement that's where I keep all my children let's see if she has any yeah yeah I would just I would hit record and I would just play this game for like three hours and I would just sit there twiddling my thumbs thinking of so what I thought was funny to do I still to this day do not know what I'm supposed to do in yandere simulator I never once understood what I was supposed to do in that game I never played it correctly at all I played it just to get video footage and that was it I hated playing the game because it was so buggy and so laggy and it's so strange because like a lot of the snippets of these videos that have been taken and they're like really big on tick-tock now if you've been on tick-tock a lot you might recognize this voice game a lot of you are telling me Oh Sebastian you swear too much Oh Sebastian this isn't how a butler act well you know what I don't think I even swear once the last video so could you please just shut the [ __ ] up okay yeah this is where man it was always a struggle because I wanted to do more videos of my face in them but I always thought they were really bad I mean they were to be honest I just didn't know how to make a funny video with my face in it and then I did I did you know I just fan mails at FA queues which is just so dumb what no one wants an FAQ video kaanum ah okay this video so black but the voice impressions it's a video that did really well and is still quoted to me to this day now I was never gonna make this video I now wanted to make this video but what happened was is that Amino wanted a video that wasn't a fan call and I didn't know what else to do for the Black Butler app how do I promote the Black Butler out if I can't do a fan and then I was like I guess I could do a black but their impressions I really not want to do it but I sign the contract and I said I'd do it at the time I was like man this video sucks so much and they went on to be like one of my most viewed videos and definitely like the one that gets quoted the most and you know if you go on tik-tok as well you'll see a lot of clips from Tabasco boss oh I'm allergic to care that one I see on ticked all the [ __ ] time and then this is when Sebastian roasts happened now that kind of changed the channel a little bit I uploaded the first Sebastian roasts and in the first date got 70 K views I distinctly remember this and so I was like [ __ ] I'm gonna make another one straight away uploaded another one two days later anted well again there's a huge sub to my channel I got a lot of subs that day I think and then I very much made a lot of Sebastian roasts your moans please just why oh you mean my moans would you like to hear me moan it goes something like I wish look at my superb editing Jesus Christ this is yeah this is where I really tried my best to like get out there more and I didn't get away from Black Butler but then also at the same time I was uploading so much black okay alright ready three two one gonna be one half of about there [Applause] man Oh God so many memories about this can't be disses ah there's a lot of story behind this as well so when this happened I literally met Michael like no more than ten minutes before this and I introduced myself to him and I was like hey man like hi we're gonna be recording a video like on Sunday and if the cons told you and they hadn't told him so he was like oh really and he was like yeah okay okay sure he's like who are you and I'm like oh like I'm c-dawg are gonna pay I do i impersonate you online and he goes oh you're that kin guy and then yeah I didn't know I was going onstage I was just talking with Michael and then they just told me to come onstage I didn't know anything bear in mind I'm not that confident this point either like they just made me go on stage and so that the reason why I looked so awkward is because I didn't know I supposed to be on there I don't know what they wanted me to do like we just wind it that's why I was so awkward and you know luckily Michael is such like a charismatic guy I'm very very like good at saving an awkward moment like he is amazing at that and he knew exactly what to do and you know he made this this hilarious moment and yeah now you know I've been friends with him since and he's such an amazing guy to work with and such a nice guy in general and I really do look up to Michael in terms of you know how to conduct myself yeah and there was just like there's a lot of fun and that was when I think I decided like 100% I want to be more than just like the guy who does anime stuff like I really wanted to be more than that because I had so much fun doing it and it really felt great to make something that felt that it could stand on its own and that was really different and then these videos here are what gave me my second wind for sure for sure I actually went to Japan I hung out with a key Joey gone a bit and they were all going to Japan and they you know they were like hey Connor if you want to come come with I didn't have much money but I was like you know what this is a once in a lifetime opportunity I'm gonna go this I should do it and I went and I had the best holiday of my life it was such an amazing experience and it really made me like want to kill it with YouTube because all my friends are so successful and and the you know it was it was amazing being around them and being in that experience I really motivated me so I went really hard when I when I came back and you know I made the first anime prank call again in nearly like you know two three years after they'd been released the first time so that was crazy for me and that video just ended up doing so well and people loved it and I was so proud of that video I liked it a lot yeah so that's kind of where we are now I feel like we were in this like really fun place now why I'm just kind of like trying whatever I feel like I don't really know where I'm going from here I already have a plan I I just think of a video idea I think it sounds fun I I do it but I'm really really enjoying what we're making right now and I'm having more fun than ever on YouTube I'm surrounded by amazing people and I'm so fortunate that I've been able to have a youtube career to speak of if you could even call it that like I really do feel blessed that you know you can see obvious changes throughout my youtube in the four years like it has changed awful law and I think that makes me really happy because it means that you know I constantly evolve and I'm constantly trying to try new things and I'm trying to do the best content I possibly can man what a crazy what a crazy journey I do feel really lucky to have six hundred something thousand subscribers it's just like actually crazy to me that I have that many like the thought that I could one day get a million seeming kind of realistic right now is crazy to me because at some point that seems so distant and impossible to me it's been a strange journey it's been a really strange journey there's been a lot of ups a lot of downs but overall I'm really happy with you you know my YouTube thing and and how it's you know come along I hope you guys enjoyed this video and it was a lot more me talking about stuff rather than me reacting to stuff I just wanted to make this video I thought it would be an interesting insight into me and my videos and my history
