  • I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say that you,

  • yes, YOU, watching this right now, are an introvert.

  • How do I know this?

  • Because you're watching YouTube videos instead of being outside.

  • WAT R U DOIN ON COMPUTER?

  • GO OUT SIDE SO BEAUTIFAAAAL!!

  • AHHHHHHH

  • *rip computer xd*

  • Don't worry, I'm an introvert too.

  • I got an email from an 8 year old once,

  • he said he liked my videos,

  • it was one of the worst emails I ever got. (wow james)

  • So I'm just gonna briefly explain what introvert means to

  • all the 8 year olds watching this.

  • Hey, kids!!

  • Are you ready to learn? (no)

  • An introvert is a person who doesn't really like to play with other kids.

  • This doesn't make them sad that they're lonely-

  • They just would, rather play by themselves.

  • Think of it this way;

  • has your friend ever asked you to play with them

  • but you didn't really want to

  • so you asked you mum to make up a reason for you not to go

  • If so then you're probably an introvert.

  • Or you just need better friends.

  • Me and my mom had a code-word

  • so if a friend was on the phone who wanted to hangout

  • I would say, "Let me ask my mom"

  • and when I asked her and I said the code-word it meant;

  • "Mom, make up an excuse so I can't go."

  • I'm not gonna say the codeword because I still plan on using it.

  • I actually made a comic kinda similar to this

  • back in 2014, and it's one of my most popular comics

  • so thanks for liking it.

  • Obviously it would be one of my most popular comics,

  • I mean look how great it is. (p.s. It's not that great.)

  • Michael, the creator of VSauce-

  • -Hey VSauce! Michael here.

  • has this new YouTube Red show called mindfield.

  • And as of right now, it's the best YouTube Red series.

  • And in the first episode,

  • Michael goes into an isolation room for 3 days.

  • He has no technology, he is all by himself for 3 days. (a.k.a. torture)

  • When I first saw this, I thought - *thinking James activated*

  • Hey, maybe I should try that!

  • YEA! 3 days of nothing but your own thoughts.

  • I could think of comic ideas, I could write a book...

  • And I don't even have to write any of these ideas down,

  • because everything I say is being recorded!

  • THIS COULD BE MY NEXT VACATION!

  • Also, speaking of YouTube Red...

  • Hey, Susan, I heard you had a new spot open for a Red series!

  • I have this great idea called "YouTuber swap",

  • it's like wife swap, but with YouTubers.

  • Just hit me up if you're interested. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

  • Now, don't get the wrong idea that I'm someone who hates people.

  • *plot twist alert* I don't.

  • It's just, if we're strangers,

  • then I would rather not talk to you.

  • Unless you're a stranger who's a fan of my videos.

  • Ok, we can talk about me ALL DAY.

  • Bringing up a point from the last video,

  • don't be afraid to talk to me.

  • You know, every YouTuber is in a weird position

  • with their fans, because if you meet me,

  • you already have a pretty good idea of who I am as a person.

  • For instance, you know how long I wet the bed. ( until you were 8)

  • But for me, I have no clue how long YOU wet the bed.

  • So...

  • What are we talking about?

  • I'm okay with having a conversation with people.

  • Okay.

  • It's just that, I'm never the one who starts

  • the conversation.

  • But again, this doesn't apply to fans.

  • I like to think that I'm decent with conversation,

  • but I don't really know how good I am at it.

  • I did fail public speaking.

  • But on occasion,

  • there are times when it's awkward NOT to talk

  • to a stranger.

  • One time in my college years,

  • I got on an elevator to go to a class,

  • and another person got on with me.

  • I live a pretty crazy life, I know.

  • And I did what anyone SHOULD do in that situation.

  • I didn't say anything to the other person.

  • But then when we got on our floor-

  • You know how the elevator doors are suPPOSED

  • to open?

  • Well this time, it didn't.

  • The doors didn't open.

  • THIS IS AN INTROVERT'S WORST NIGHTMARE, BY THE WAY.

  • And it wasn't one of those elevators

  • that you could fit a king-sized bed into,

  • this elevator was about the size of a redbox. ( thats a small elevator)

  • Is the... is the door gonna open?

  • *smacks lips*

  • Seems like it should open by now.

  • What do you do in that situation? (press the emergency button)

  • You can't NOT talk to the person

  • you're now trapped with.

  • So... what class are you going to?

  • Physics?

  • Oh, that makes sense,

  • 'cause this is a science building.

  • *chuckles nervously*

  • Enough time had passed where we started looking up

  • the school's number to tell them that we were stuck.

  • Which is what you're supposed to do, right?

  • There's not like, a button on the elevator

  • that you can press to call for help, right? (Mhmm)

  • But luckily, while we were doing that for WHATEVER reason,

  • after a solid 2 minutes, the door decided to open.

  • And just the WAAAVE of relief that went over me

  • and this kid.

  • AUGH! I THOUGHT WE'D BE IN THERE FOR HOURS!

  • -I hope I never see you again.

  • Same.

  • And that's why I'm never going in an elevator again.

  • It's too risky.

  • I think the problem I have

  • is that I'm bad at STARTING coversations.

  • Normally, if I'm talking to someone who I don't know,

  • I'll ask, "So, how was your day?"

  • But if your day was anything BUT good,

  • I don't wanna hear it.

  • *Deep sigh*

  • -My dog died :(

  • Yeah, they do that.

  • Why is starting a conversation so hard?

  • I only know like, 3 good conversation starters.

  • The first one is,

  • "How was your day?"

  • And if that doesn't work,

  • I start talking about all this CRAZY weather we're having.

  • And in Arizona, there's really only one weather;

  • Hot.

  • Although it DID rain like 2 weeks ago.

  • And lastly, if I have NOTHING else to ask,

  • I hit them with the really hard question.

  • "What colour's your toothbrush?" (lol)

  • Mine's red.

  • To start a conversation,

  • sometimes people will ask,

  • I have nothing against these type of questions,

  • I think it tells you lot about the person you're talking to,

  • but there's one form of this question that I REALLY hate.

  • And it's the question...

  • What's your favorite candy bar?

  • And I hate this question,

  • because my favorite candy bar-

  • and I will stick by my answer no matter what you think-

  • ... is M & M's.

  • That's not a candy bar...

  • *T R I G G E R E D*

  • What an astute observation!

  • I'm a very simple man, alright?

  • I like my chocolate pure.

  • Sometimes when people ask this, I think,

  • "Aagh, I should just say 'Twix', people won't get mad

  • if I say 'Twix'."

  • But then I remember,

  • SCREW Twix, I like M & M's.

  • -But James, why don't you just say 'Hershey's' bar?

  • Because Hershey's makes a mess on your hands,

  • and they don't come in a convenient bite-sized pieces,

  • while M & M's hard outer shell improves their overall TEXTURE!

  • WHY AM I EVEN HAVING THIS ARGUMENT?

  • I had a friend tell me,

  • "Well James, I really like Smarties, (gross)

  • but I know they're not a bar,

  • so I don't say they're my favourite candy BAR."

  • First of all dude,

  • Smarties, really? That's your favourite candy?

  • And second of all,

  • the person asking the question honestly doesn't care

  • what my answer is.

  • Why are you asking such a specific question?

  • You're excluding so much other candy.

  • Candy BARS are exclusively chocolate.

  • What if my favourite candy ISN'T chocolate?

  • What if it's-

  • Smarties? (no)

  • Woah, did you guys just see what I just did there?

  • I was talking about M & M's for like, a whole minute!

  • I was having a CONVERSATION! (congrats!)

  • All because I was arguing why M& M's

  • are my favourite candy bar!

  • So that's it!

  • That's how you talk to people.

  • You disagree with everything they say and then

  • argue about it. (great way to make friends)

  • So everyone watching,

  • argue about your favourite candy bar down in the comments.

  • Here's some fun little Odd 1s Out trivia!

  • I record the audio for these endcards LAST.

  • Also, you might notice some caterpillar fanart,

  • and if you don't get that reference,

  • then you should probably follow me on Twitter.

  • Okay, it's not that much of a reference.

  • I just drew this picture of a caterpillar

  • and I posted it on Twitter.

  • I don't know if you can tell, but I'm a little sick right now.

  • I wanted to finish this video and post it yesterday,

  • but then I thought,

  • "I'm sick, I can take sick days."

  • So my crappy immune system delayed this video

  • a whole DAY.

  • So thanks for nothing, immune system.

  • I don't know if you saw the store update video,

  • but I got 2 new plushies, it's pretty crazy.

  • If you buy both of them together then it's only $20.

  • What a deal.

  • Also, I just wanted to say hi to my friend-

  • "SomeThingElseYT", I think he's a cool dude.

  • I asked him to voice one of the characters in my video.

  • So that's why my voice got all deep and sexy

  • for a little bit.

  • Also, I just want to say hi to "TimTom".

  • I've mentioned him before, and I've even

  • drew him in the background of a couple of my videos.

  • Well, he made the "James' Clubhouse" intro

  • with all the sparkles at 0:26,

  • And it actually took him 2 hours to do that.

  • He's a pretty slow dude.

  • So instead of paying him ACTUAL money,

  • I'm just gonna say, thanks TimTom!

  • And that'll be worth 2 hours of his life.

  • Thanks, TimTom!

  • Alright, that's all I wanted to say.

  • Eat healthy, go to bed, and wear your seatbelt.

I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say that you,
