So uh, I wanted to experiment with form, content, all that stuff.

Bear with me.

I'm gonna get pretentious.

Why is this no longer available! NO! I love this one. I use it to teach with, actually. I have my students write personal narratives and we read Camus' The Fall and this is a related thematic personal reflection worthy of us all. I loved this one. I wish you'd repost it. TEARS.

Cameron Dagg

It says video unavailable for me. :(

I loved this. Thank You Kyle Kalgren. The stuff you make always has a big impact on me.

I'm going to be doing the antsy dance of "aaaaa I want to share this thing" until it's public.

Nicholas Tristan

This is terrific! You're a talented dude, I think you'll do great with more experiments with form.

John A Nickles

Nice use of "The Lark Ascending". (I pointed out that I am familiar with classical music. I AM PRETENTIOUS! (I have made a pop culture reference to a film that is over 50 years old (Spartacus 1960) DOUBLE PRETENTIOUS!!))

I loved this! Your argument is great (and honestly something I'd never thought of even though I should have) and the way you formatted this video really enhances your point.

Not only a lovely/insightful video, I laughed out loud more than once (at the google translate bit, especially). Great work.

I'm kind othe reverse of That YouTube Commenter you're inevitably going to get. At first, I bought into the character of "Oancitizen", the fictional Kyle who pronounced it "shekks-SPEYAH" and projected what felt like a deliberate air of...well, what I considered to be pretention. I don't know when it happened, but somewhere akong the way, as other people's jokes and routines got stale, I ended up sticking with the people who changed, whse stlyes became something new and interesting without resorting to tricks. Nowadays, when I think of who I consider 'pretentious', it's a very differet crowd than before. If anything, my respect for you and your intelligence has grown by leaps and bounds since I first found you, and I find the 'pretentiousness' part of your charm, especially these recent videos where the cracks...well, more like gaping fissures, really...in the facade have started to form, and we've been allowed to see someone who feels far more like a real person than the old guy.

That old Joe Rogan sketch about "real grownups" is as relevant as ever: "You know exactly as much about what this thing called 'life' is all about, as any human being who ever lived. We're all living our lives trying to pretend we know what we're doing, but really no one's got a fuckin' clue! Remember when you were a kid, you thought there were grownups? And you were like, 'One day I'm gonna be a grownup and then everything's gonna make sense!' And the next thing you know, you're like 25, and the kid bagging your groceries calls you 'Sir' and you're like, 'What the fuck? How'd that happen? You mean I'm a grownup now? Shit! We're fucked!'"

Kyle, I must say, this is one successful experiment. This video spoke to me in a lot of ways that would probably be boring for others--suffice to say, I've thought about similar issues a lot. I'm intrigued by where you've been taking your videos lately. Your own art really has meant a lot to me, and continues to mean a lot to me. Thank you for these (and for always remembering to wish death to fascism).

as is common these days I saw some real dumbass, ignorant quotes said by some judge or politician or whoever. And while it shouldn't surprise me at this age there's still this sense of "wait...you're supposed to be the designated adults of society! youre suposed to be better than this!"
