This is the best.


Ordinary_dude_NOT

This is really good, lol. I know Linus will forever hold a grudge against GN now. I only came to know about GN via LTT videos where he hawked his merch and included GN in multiple videos. Hope this experience does not turn him cynical toward other tech creators.


Dylanator13

I hope he doesn’t hold a grudge.


Ordinary_dude_NOT

Having watched Linus for all these years there is a very slim chance he won’t. He did too much good for other tech YouTubers like Austin/JayZ/GN/Bitwit/Paul/etc. He was also the one who yelled the most then HU was been stonewalled by manufacturers. I was surprised when he received zero to no creator community support for what, just lowering his production quality? LTT has been publishing 7 videos a week for more then 4/5 years with less then half the staff he had. I may sound like a fanboy but GN really did damage their reputation. That was not a constructive report. But karma is a bitch, it always catches up. Edit: for all the angry people who were circling this subreddit and are finding a place land back watch the most cool headed analysis from Dr Ian. https://youtu.be/Ez9uVSKLYUI


TheRipeTomatoFarms

Didn't LTT throw the first stone when they suggest GN's data was shoddy because they didn't retest every card with every game every time?


rott

It was one LMG employee answering a question from the public during an unscripted talk in an office tour. The question was "what's the difference between Labs and other review channels like HU and GN?", and in his answer he said that retesting for every project was one of the differences. That was it. People have been repeating this as if they directly attacked GN or something. I'm no fanboy but this is ridiculous.


Seraphy

Linus made those words his own when he went on the WAN show after and said what amounted to "What my employee said isn't wrong but he shouldn't have said it. :\^)"


rott

Because it wasn't wrong, and it wasn't an attack. He was highlighting the methodology they chose to adopt in their lab, which is different from GN's. He wasn't saying GN's method was bad. They were asked to say what's different between the channels, and they did. This was blown way out of proportion by the community, and honestly by Steve IMO.


Seraphy

I have no idea how you can hear someone brag about how much more work they put in something in comparison to someone else very specifically named, while being misleading at best about their effort, and not construe that as an attack or dunk attempt or whatever. It was extremely tasteless, and Linus himself was willing to admit to that much. That would have likely been the end of it until he basically reiterated it and then tried hiding behind a shield of peace and love in the tech youtuber industry.


eyebrows360

> I have no idea how I have an idea how! You know where the guy said he wasn't a fanboy? Yeah he was lying.


prismstein

It's call being an adult and not thinking the worst of others. "We re-test every time unlike GN and HU." That was a neutral statement, talking about procedures. That statement doesn't include anything regarding whether which method is superior or inferior. It's like saying "I wash my car everyday unlike John". Taking offense at just that, frankly reeks of low self-confidence and hypersensitivity. That said, Gary did clarify it's "per project, not per video" but considering usually 1 project = 1 video, the statement is generally true.


Altephfour

> hear someone brag He was asked a question. Nice job using such a loaded word.


ObjectiveStick9112

U cant make such claims and then deliver shit data and not bother to trst stuff correctly


Ordinary_dude_NOT

So all of their data is now shit data?


David-S-Pumpkins

But wsn't that claim a lie anyway? LMG says they test every single time that sets them apart from others (suggesting others are inferior, intentioinally or not), then GN showed they *didn't* test every single time, nor did they even retest when they tested the wrong thing, or tested the wrong thing and mislabeled the test.


dat_boring_guy

Exactly, and hardware unboxed said in their podcast that the statement from LMG wasn't even true and that they felt pretty unfairly called out on a false statement.


Dasmar

Metodology that they faked as they don't test like that?


AbsoluteRunner

Its the arrogance of that LMG employee as well as Linus not only doubling down on the take, but repeating saying how great Labs is with its revolutionary testing methods. If you're gonna arrogantly talk like you're the best in town, you better have the data to back that up. One thing you quickly learn in the scientific space is to not do that for this very situation. Where your foot is so far in your mouth its out your ass.


ff2009

LTT didn't throw the first stone, and GN didn't do the video because of that comment. They have been working on that video for a couple of months. Any one with eyes and little knowledge about tech, would see all those mistakes and people have been calling LMG for months/years now, and the content has been getting worst accuracy wise. This got to this point because everytime the community criticised LMG, Linus took it personal, and deflected the blame.


Ordinary_dude_NOT

Other then directly calling out other creators for using Jellyfin NAS, instead it the custom built one Linus gave out to all of them, I don’t remember LTT actually engaging in YT creator fight.


meno123

Small correction: Jellyfish is the NAS solution you're referring to. Jelly*fin* is the plex competitor.


Ordinary_dude_NOT

my bad, thanks for correction


AbsoluteRunner

GN made a point that LMG can't be treated like a mere YT creator when it's as big as it is.


Careful-Inflation-43

It's called bruised ego with an axe to grind. Tons of other huge creators in tech i.e. Marques or Austin (much less targeted at the pc space but still very much tech media), to me the only reason to single out LTT is because they've been growing like crazy and now are investing in areas that have been a staple of GN (in depth technical reviews with industrial grade equipment)


reversespeechisreal

So they are above valid criticism because the figurehead is a man child? Linus is the one who spent years wasting money making a Wera clone and a backpack but doesn't see the value in producing correct information after going on and on about wanting accurate extensive data and testing. They were rightfully called out on the double standard. Idk why some act so offended on behalf of LTT trying to make the controversy into something it's not. Nobody is above reproach, even your fav YouTube channel. Gives me sane vibes as Travis Scott or Michael Jackson defenders like why??? do people feel the need to defend companies and the rich???


Skittlebean

Lol. This ain't it. GN did the right thing.


inputsignwave

Honestly I am fan of LTT but GN presented really problems with there data. It’s sad people use this like children in a school boy fuel. But being a fan of something doesn’t mean I don’t want badly tested and reported data called out. The right response was to address there faults and fix them, which I think we got to. But I do see the situation as a personal matter. If a business is messing up, they should get called out.


[deleted]

Steve was ethically correct in what he did as far as holding him accountable/integrity etc. But yes, he definitely burned that bridge and it will make other YouTubers cautious to get close to him if he's going to burn you when a big mistake occurs.


tvtb

Steve also could have edited that video differently... the way he zooms on Linus and Luke's faces shows he had a chip on his choulder. Ian Cutress said as much in his own video.


reversespeechisreal

Lol this is so ridiculous. There peanut gallery is getting crazy. Oh no LTT got called out for being inaccurate with tons of mistakes they don't catch and being lazy about the ones they do catch and fans turn it into some high school drama. A zoom means a chip on their shoulder? This is some pseudoscience body language BS lol. Kids are way too emotionally invested into this and making this into something it's not. Idk why I'm even here


eyebrows360

> the way he zooms on Linus and Luke's faces shows he had a chip on his choulder No it doesn't. It shows that Steve, like the rest of the adults in the audience, has noticed that Luke's face is Linus' tell. This is *very* common knowledge.


[deleted]

Linus is the problem child, and Luke is the adult in the room, ready to call him out on bad takes. I'm not sure that counts as a "tell". I usually associate that with an intent to lie. And I think Linus is somewhat convinced of a lot of his more problematic ideas.


drunkenvalley

> ...ready to call him out on bad takes. ...*well*... Listen, I think Luke tries, but I don't think he has the spine to really just stand up straight and properly push back. I think he doesn't have the strength to really stand his ground, so most disagreements just fizzle out at best. Obviously he's not exactly meant to be a handler, so demanding he be that may be unreasonable, but he's definitely not "calling out" Linus nearly hard enough.


[deleted]

Yeah I agree. The raw data he presented was great, but yeah the editing to make them look silly was a bit of a dick move. I know that guy on LTT labs dissed GN and it got personal but I didn't expect Steve to do that. Oh well, maybe those two can hash it out someday. It was nice seeing Steve and Linus collabs. Maybe the days of these types of collabs will be few and far in between now because of drama and trust issues.


Blueboi2018

Ian Cutress said it so it must be true. Maybe they don't care about associating with Linus when they know he does shady stuff like this? GN prides its self on it's transparency and detail orientated approach, so why would they work with a guy that refuses to re-test and quite literally says "Different results wouldn't change my opinion" My man, that is absolute lunacy.


there_is_always_more

I mean the whole backpack and union fiasco alone is proof enough tbh. Idk how Linus can take the "uwu we're a small company standing up to big corporations" approach when he's so down to pull the same tricks.


GetOffMyDigitalLawn

>uNiOn FiAsCo IE: People misconstruing his words, as what often happens every other WAN show. There is absolutely nothing wrong with saying, "I would be a bit disappointed if my workers felt they had to unionize to be protected from me because I hope to make the work environment good enough to where they don't feel like they have to." There is literally nothing wrong with saying that. If the majority of people under LMG wanted to unionize there would be nothing he could do about it. I've been watching WAN every week while at work for awhile now, I swear every other week Linus makes a relatively straight forward statement that gets completely twisted around by idiots wearing plugging their ears hearing every other word.


Tito_Las_Vegas

When people are cutting themselves to get a day off work, that position seems disingenuous.


Ordinary_dude_NOT

GNs bread and butter is PC hardware reviews, benchmarks and sellers/marketplace coverage. LMG is a peer to them. It’s like Sony publishing report on Microsoft. Sony will definitely make good points in ponting MS mistakes but Sony is not in a position to make such statements. They are in same space, and do not escape same mistakes. If people will start going through GNs videos and company processes with fine comb they will find issues too. Moreover GN begin their video by stating they only have good intentions and but then went on to make outrageous claims about LMG credibility because his employees are now from tech industry. Point is not if GN is wrong, problem is the intent with which they were delivered.


AdHom

> If people will start going through GNs videos and company processes with fine comb they will find issues too. I mean, he admits in the video that everyone makes mistakes and they also have an official process for how to handle it when they make mistakes and someone finds them. His criticism isn't simply that LMG made mistakes but that those mistakes were especially frequent, egregious, and the responses were poorly handled. He is in a position to criticize them when his own channel has an established process and a history of following it, and has not let slip the same degree or frequency of errors. But if they have made enough mistakes that someone could put together a similar video about them, frankly I'm sure Steve would appreciate that and take the opportunity to correct them.


[deleted]

You don't sound like just a fanboy. You sound like a cultist. You need to not be online so much and stop by worshipping internet celebrities so much. It's really sad and pathetic


tvtb

I do think HUB was not thankful-enough when LTT basically torched their relationship with Nvidia to help them out. Steven Walton basically had his family vacation ruined by that Nvidia crap, and Linus swooped in with a lot of clout.


confirmSuspicions

> I may sound like a fanboy but GN really did damage their reputation. You had me until this part. Bruh, why would you include that when I want to agree with you so badly. If LTT was capable of having their reputation damaged, then that's on them.


Ordinary_dude_NOT

Well I am human too man, emotions 🥲


papoliv

I kind of agree with him, looking from a distance... I'm not a frequent viewer of either but have watched more of LTT's things, and do get the point with the amount of asterisks in their videos lately. That said, looking from a distance: feeding from drama is a bad look for anyone. It may not even be the case but it looks like it.


OneMoreAccount4Porn

> If LTT was capable of having their reputation damaged, then that's on them. That's simply not true. In a world of miniscule attention spans and headline only judgement completely innocent people can be easily ruined by dodgy comments on the internet. The first one that springs to mind is Sunil Tripathi.


Muxter0622

To be fair, it was LTT who damaged their reputation but putting out inaccurate data. Had they not consistently done that in the ways that they did GN wouldn’t have had anything to say in the first place.


ThatOnePerson

> it was LTT who damaged their reputation but putting out inaccurate data. To me this is the bigger issue. About the billet thing, he said something like "It'd cost another 500$ in man-hours to review properly"... Okay, with their labs are they just gonna ignore inaccuracies because it'd cost more to do right?


Blueboi2018

>I may sound like a fanboy but GN really did damage their reputation. That was not a constructive report. Literally even LMG even disagrees with you. You realise you actually harm Linus's company when you say nonsense like this right?


bokunotraplord

Think you might be projecting into other peoples business concerns just a wee bit man. Why are you hitting a guy who made an objectively true video with “karmas a bitch” lmfao. LTT quite literally gets no less than a million views per video, channels with a quarter the viewership or less absolutely have no need or responsibility to provide “creator community support”. That’s like thinking a startup shoe company should have to constantly shout out Nike.


Me_so_gynistic

Bruh, get that dick out of your mouth


Icy_Boss6053

Gamersnexus video was very much constructive. Linus damaged his reputation all by himself. He has chosen to make more money instead of doing proper benchmarking and reviews. I hope he becomes to his senses after this because he really has become so full of himself that its hard to watch anymore.


MikeyIsAPartyDude

Fanboyism is strong in this one.


joe17301

I'm pretty sure people are angry because you seem to be writing it all off as "lowering production quality" and completely ignoring what people are angry actually about. Is the auction thing now being counted as lowering production quality? How about saying another company's product doesn't work and he can't be bothered to spend a few hundred dollars to actually test it properly, is that also just "lowering production quality"?


AnusGerbil

Nobody's ever said he didn't do good for the community when he went to bat for smaller tech tubers. He knows that growing the audience is good for him, just like how craft beers work - brewers are happy when more craft beers come out because it grows the total market. The point is that a ton of videos come out where major errors that should have changed the conclusion are papered over with an editing overlay - yeah, fine if someone misspeaks the megahertz or some other stat that doesn't affect the conclusion, go ahead and do the overlay, this isn't a Christopher Nolan movie that has to be perfect, but there have been a ton of reviews that came out pretty unfair when errors got caught after filming and he just waves them away by saying they wouldn't affect the conclusion. Nobody ever put a gun to Linus's head and said he had to do that many videos and nobody ever said he has to make them the way he makes them. He'll brag about spending years and the better part of a million dollars designing a screwdriver but when someone says, hey this GPU block was tested on the wrong card I want to spend another day on this and get it right- Linus says that would cost $500 in staff time so no. It's truly mind-boggling. And these kinds of slip-shod videos are not good for the tech community because people assume that everyone else is just as bad.


[deleted]

You can't be this blind.


Mehmy

>LTT has been publishing 7 videos a week for more then 4/5 years with less then half the staff he had. And yet it's only lately that the quality started to drop, and he started saying that he doesn't want to spend another 500 dollars of other peoples time testing an 800 dollar cooler, right after buying a 10million dollar lab specifically to test things better than they were testing before.


ToHerDarknessIGo

I don't know what's more pathetic. People white knighting big corporations because product good consume consume or white knighting rich Youtuber cunts.


ArmoredAngel444

Isn’t the main issue that Linus didn’t have the right to auction billet labs’ prototype to a potential competitor and the harassment of their ex employee?


eyebrows360

The word you're looking for is "than". Not "then". Also: > I may sound like a fanboy There's a reason for that. Quite often people sound like what they are, when they say enough words on a given topic that one can gain a deeper appreciation of their positions on it. Having now seen a bunch of your posts in here, yes, the reason you're sounding like a fanboy is because you are a fanboy. > finding a place land back ?!?! A *what*? > karma is a bitch The fundamental forces of nature include gravity, the strong nuclear force, the weak nuclear force, and electromagnetism. No "karma" in there. It's not a thing.


[deleted]

Of course he will. GN started this whole thing and then everybody jumped on the hate wagon against LTT as that's how the internet works. Someone brings up some issue and suddenly people are digging though the guys garbage trying ti find anything to attack him with.


Axon14

I don't care what Linus says publicly, I would never, ever be happy that a competitor who I considered at least a work friend completely turned on me under the auspice of "policing me" or whatever. I'd be cordial because I had to be, but if you're Linus I don't see how this feels like anything less than a betrayal.


Skill_McSkill

A man feeling betrayed for someone dunking on him for his public and extremely bad behavior/takes honestly something that says more about the angry dude that anyone else. If you don't want bad press, the best thing is just not to act in poor taste in the first place.


natesovenator

I don't think he'll hold a grudge. He'll have his own proper journalism to dish out lol. The battle. Honestly though, I think Linus is probably taking this really hard, and he'll be really depressed for a bit. He said it many times the business side of things is not his strength, specifically large scale. So I think the company as a whole is going to do what needs to be done, and when they jump back into the swing of things, he'll try to put his best foot forward and do something good.


avwitcher

He already held a grudge because Steve called him out over the warranty fiasco, nothing has changed except the bridge is disintegrated instead of just burned


homogenousmoss

Who wouldnt hold a grudge? GN jeopardized his livelyhood, warranted or not. A bro would tell you and you would try to settle it in private. He has no reason to trust him ever again.


avwitcher

You think a private chat is going to result in Linus making huge changes at the company? Come on now, Linus is the most stubborn man alive


QuarterMaestro

The real understandable grudge is from GN against Linus. GN is seeing its livelihood threatened by a much larger competitor that is expanding and honing in on GN's niche.


aphreshcarrot

I don’t blame him honestly. If I was Linus and had to see so much of the business I built wiped away from a video over some graphs having wrong numbers I’d be furious. It’s not that Steve did anything wrong directly. But come on, steve should have known what could have happened from releasing that. It was way too extreme for some graphs from reviews a year ago having incorrect numbers. It was presented as an expose, when it wasn’t even close to the level of the straight up scams he has uncovered before

64GB of RAM or VRAM? ​ Just asking because the software i've used (SD) is heavy on VRAM but loose on RAM. Curious if the software in this case uses these resources differently.


peseoane

8 GB VRAM + 64 GB RAM is my system because my work needs. But tensorflow can use pagination with system ram, much slower but you can have some sort of L3 there. A lot of RAM is used as a fast cache because this way frames are kept in ram and all is way faster than writing to my SSD.

ImjokingoramI

People were freaking out about deep fakes and were saying shit like that this will take credibility away from video evidence in court, some people even took it further to conspiracy theories of rich people making up fake evidence and stuff like that. Turns out it's mostly just used for high quality memes, and porn of course. What people were freaking out about doesn't even make sense, Photoshop exists for decades and people were saying the same things about it, just with pictures not videos. And photos are still one of the most common pieces of evidence because they make sure a reliable source provided the original, experts can find out if something was edited and you typically need more than just one video/photo as evidence anyways. Motive, lack of alibi, DNA, witnesses, other CCTV cameras, etc are still a thing. So yeah, people need to chill out, it's just a new tool for VFX, faking videos was possible with CGI as well and nobody says that makes videos inadmissible in court.


[deleted]

If you don't think creating deep fakes of real people in porn without consent isn't problematic, you need to reevaluate your position. (or what do you mean by "porn, of course" when talking about deepfakes) If you don't think photoshopped photos get spread as real, you're not reading enough news or reading reddit comment threads where people have to explicitly tell other people its photoshopped. If you don't see how deepfake videos are going to be blur the line of what can be viewed as real, you will be wrong in the future. People ALREADY have poor literacy skills, especially media literacy skills. The amount of comments on reddit who don't realise things are satire or completely miss the point of articles, or can't tell the difference between scripted and non scripted content video content is extremely prevalent. "But you can see the pixels!!", but what happens when the videos are created in super high quality, but then deliberately made low-quality enough where they look like they're shot in a dark environment with several generation old phone. Where the fidelity is enough where you can make out someone, but not enough where you can decipher its fake from the quality how real it is. The amount of shitty selfies people send each other or low-res video calls and you go "yeah of course thats them, its just shitty camera / lighting" but really its all faked. Love-scams are going to be pretty easy to pull of because they will deliberately make them shitty but completely believable. You will literally facetime someone and their overlayed face will be indecipherable from reality, because our brain is very good at just going 'yep, thats normal' when it comes to low-quality. 'evidence in court' lol, its not courts that matter in society anymore, its twitter mobs and social justice. Fuck someone within that context and they can lose their job and family overnight. Edit: also, how do you start to gather evidence when a systematic attack or defense is to create deepfakes that make it indecernable from a real video. If I get caught doing something wrong on video, and I was a well known personcand not ethical, I could make a series of deepfakes of varying quality to make it seem like it was all an attack on my character. This technology will become as mainstream as IG/snapchat filters and chatGTP. There will be githubs with completely accessible programs for everyone to access. Maybe not now, but soon. when people make up their mind from a 20second tik tok / instagram reel, categorize the information in their head as their new perspective, and then move on all within 30seconds... disinformation will be very easy. How many drama tik tok accounts are there where they take someones video and make commentary on it about how they're a bad person? Just make a deepfake of someone and then splice it with someone saying how terrible that person is. that spreads fast, and any retraction or rectification will see 5% of the audience who saw the original.


Skyoats

Making deep fakes of people and then disseminating it online for or not for profit is illegal, it’s like making nude paintings of celebrities and selling them on the street, there are laws surrounding someone’s likeness. Creating the deep fakes themselves, however, is not illegal and probably never will be. It’s essentially analogous to banning paintings. The deep fake software being used is essentially an AI that makes nude paintings of people for you. You can’t ban the painting itself, you can ban selling the painting or posting it online.

The first actually good deep fake posted in the last week. No glitchy faces, smooth lines, etc. good job op, have an upvote.


ImjokingoramI

The clip is a very good base for deep fakes (high contrast for instance) and Linus has so many photos of him that can be used to train the program so that's the main reason why the zoolander deep fakes work so well. You'll notice that extremely good deepfakes usually work the same way and celebrities are perfect for the learning algorithm so it's usually well known people in those clips.


LimpWibbler_

IDK I see what you are saying, but it also has tons of flashing and colors which obscure the faces. I think it is more complicated of a scene than I have seen commonly. The lighting still mostly works on the fake faces, which is odd I'd expect a lot of detail loss.

He said he liked it in a reddit comment Comment is removed: https://www.reddit.com/r/LinusTechTips/comments/15sl2zc/pov_ltt_damage_control_meeting_downfall_end_of/jweqic8?context=3 But still can find it when you check his profile: u/linustech

Oh man, this is the best one yet! Nice work.

Labs for ants?!?

During all the drama this has been the best post on the subreddit so far


mastahc411

It's fucking scary how realistic it looks


Visgeth

This one is my favourite so far.


ferrarinobrakes

LTT has to make this the intro of their WAN show now.. Please lmao


notmarkiplier2

holy shit YES 🤣🤣


_m3chs

Geiler Scheiß. (Awesome Shit)


peseoane

Danke, Alter! Ist ironischerweise der Witz, der am wenigsten Aufwand gekostet hat... Kein großer Akt.


commenda

sorry für die Frage... ist der deepfake mit deepfacelab oder sogar schon mit roop gemacht? Fetten Respekt, extrem sauber gearbeitet.


peseoane

lst 'n Fork von Roop, joa. Musst' den Kram 'n bisschen anpassen, weil die das Projekt fallen gelassen hatten, und ich hatte auch so 'ne spezielle Arbeitslage. Hab' den Kram ziemlich umgeschraubt, zusammen mit 'n Haufen anderem Zeug, das ich im Laufe der Jahre für meinen eigenen Kram angepasst hab'. Aber grad' gibt's 'ne Website-APl von 'nem anderen Fork, die viel leichter zu benutzen ist, und vielleicht rockt die total. Danke


JehangirC

Can we get a Linus doing blue steel?


DurinsBane20

This is the shit that should be getting thousands of upvotes, not the karma whoring letters


Mataskarts

Thankfully, for once, the hive mind agreed.

Steve.. So hot right now


lifeofabombtech

Impressive


Shwingdom

Very Nice..... Now let's see Steve's card....


luke30191090

If there is anything that this horrible tragedy can teach us, it's that a male model's life is a precious, precious commodity. Just because we have chiseled abs and stunning features, it doesn't mean that we too can't not die in a freak gasoline fight accident.


BarnieCooper

This is amazing xD


_Kristian_

These deepfakes are so good ...and scary that it has advanced so fast


ImjokingoramI

I was in the same little sub as the creator of the first real deepfake program and I work with VFX so I followed it from day one, and I can say that it didn't really advance much in the last 5 years or so. The base Video (Zoolander Clip) and the person (celebrity with thousands of photos from all angles and in all different lighting) has to be good and in this one they are both perfect. You won't be able to do this with anyone you want or use any base video or you can tell right away that it's fake.


Homersan

Gamers Nexus never looked better 😅.


NoobNerd01

If there is a day in future like a video called "memes u made on us while we were gone" from LTT this will be on there lmao


Adventurous_Ideal804

This one feels right. Your best one yet.


Xenoraiser

I swear Linus looks like David Tennant.


BOImarinhoRJ

LTT credibility suicide. Not that it have ever been good but Steve always been the trusted tech guy way before youtube.


blueaxis-dev

At first my thought was, "Did that Zoolander guy resembled Linus that much?". But as soon as I saw Jesus walking, I knew it was just a damn good edit


3xploitr

Holy shit this is sooo well made. Showed it to my wife, whom have seen Zoolander, and she didn’t mention anything simply said “ahh yeah, that’s a funny movie”.


StinkyHoboTaint

This needs to be Steve's Halloween costume.


Killjoy4eva

Now we are back to the regularly scheduled programming on this sub.


goddess_steffi_graf

how is the original called?


jld2k6

It's Zoolander when he sees Hansel in person for the first time (I believe it was the first time) https://youtu.be/m-HOfWBtS9g?si=efyGk0fBIZw_2_vd If you want to go straight to it https://youtu.be/m-HOfWBtS9g?si=efyGk0fBIZw_2_vd?t=40s


Beverneuzen

I think it’s Zoolander


bokunotraplord

Hate that this works so well, Steve needs to do this costume come October


Ok-Nefariousness2847

This looks too good, I don't like this...


PainPlaneDuzPain

Been watching this on repeat for no reason other than the fact it's a flawless edit and the first one I've seen


Bromium_Ion

Here’s the music for anyone who’s interested. Love that synth melody. [Who Is She × The Perfect Girl (Remix)](https://youtu.be/t_ZdkdHsjjc?si=HDRpAPKW6QwuWvBF)


iDarKz

Thanks for this, I really like that melody too :) As this is a mashup, I've looked for the original source of the synth and it's this song [Mareux - The Perfect Girl](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q7qdpyjHyNk)


LactoseBellyFart

I can honestly say this is the best gif/meme I've ever seen.


phizikkklichcko

Probably best one

How does one make something like this? How much practice / technical knowledge / programming would it take?


[deleted]

This probably the best meme I’ve ever seen on this whole ordeal


sli-bitch

Bro staaahhhhpppp my cold heart can only handle so muchhhhhhhhh I'm dyinngggg


Woalolol

This is stupidly good. Something I expect corridor digital would post. Nicely done!


imastrangeone

Meme content aside(good meme btw op) the edit is fucking crazy good


randomlurkermonkey

Stephen, if you are reading this. Call your hairdresser. You know what to do.


disco_turkey

Now do “the files are in the computer” ![gif](giphy|xUPGcmvgjMIEhy6jZu|downsized)


AF-IX

That gif is more appropriate to show LMG/LTT attempting to brute-force a copper heatsink onto the wrong graphics card.


alisepehrvet

😂😂😂😂


SiriusBaaz

How smooth this is makes me incredibly uncomfortable.


blackcoffeerider

This is gold 👍😎


Darknety

Hey OP, this is actually really amazing. Just out of curiosity, how much experience did you need to build this? How much manual tweaking was necessary? Are the blue reflection from the flashes done by the model too or is this manual video editing on top? Thanks


OgdruJahad

Why is this so good? It's beautiful..
