This was absolutely brilliant. I loved the section talking about the cat you bonded with (and totally should have stolen), and I've thoroughly enjoyed everything you've created since making this video. I'm excitedly awaiting your upcoming Adobe video (and a potential following video about open source?). As an open source developer and daily driver, I'd be honored if you'd consider interviewing myself and/or any other prominent developers in this space.

i just got my membership, first bonus video ive watched, and its already worth every penny.

Wait is hbomberguy a leftist? This video is fake, good try WOKE propaganda.

Vincent Briggs

Aww, poor Cody :( I agree with the commenters saying you should perhaps get a cat! Or two cats... I've heard two is easier than one because they'll keep each other busy and then won't need as much attention or break as much stuff.

Hbomb

oh my god! (sorry for just seeing this, i do read comments, eventually haha)

Void WL

Are there going to be more retrospectives?

Stefan Wilde

hi i am new on here! is that a dogecore shirt?

I watched this video while about 80% paying attention and doing the mandatory yearly compliance trainings for work, and had to pay juuust enough attention at a very specific part of the video; leading to me mishearing the discussion of SOMEONE ELSE'S DIVORCE as HBOMB GOT DIVORCED. I was extremely confused for approximately 30 seconds.

To this day I still don't understand what anyone means, or even thinks they mean by cultural Marxist. I feel like I joined a conversation halfway through and everyone is speaking obliquely about a topic without directly mentioning anything about it because they assume everyone else is in on it. Even Hbomb's videos have never clarified this for me. I don't have a clue what anyone is talking about and I'm starting to think most of them don't either and it's just an absolutely depthless dog whistle that just means "the undesirables". I'd love to at least hear some sophistry, some *attempt* at defining it.

Not sure if you read these Patron Video comments, when I was young and immature, and thought 'your gay' was the height of comedy, i used to work with a guy (Daniel Bogunovic) who was my boss, and we both lacked friends and he seemed alright, minus a few jew jokes. Anyway, he got arrested as the HEAD of National Action. Whoch shocked me as at times he seemed remorseful to be the way his parents raised him and then got Worse. In fact, in that screen shot im fairly certain he is the guy on the far left. Anyway, however much i hope he finds the truth i have two kids now, so he can stay far away from me.

Maybe not ~every~ problem. But truth be told, a large number of fights I’ve had with partners were about or linked to the capitalist mode of production.

airborneice

i know this isn't the point of the video but the segment at the start where you talked about the cat you lived with and how much you liked and cared about him just made me really happy/emotional out of the blue. i lost my cat a few months ago and i just really miss all those little things cats do and it was really nice to be reminded of them :') I'm glad he was doing better by the time you left and that you cared for him so much as to consider kidnapping him lol. (anyway - great video - I'll shut up and watch the rest of it now)

Lenore

Late to the party, but I always enjoy learning about behind the scenes processes and this video was very fun for me. Thank you for all your hard work! :)

priya

i'm so excited to watch all these hbomb videos! your work is some of my go-to comfort (i'll watch your stuff during a panic attack or listen during a migraine). i remember when the algo was first recommending your stuff to me, i wasn't sure if you were right wing at first, especially since i was familiar with nazis but not their youtube videos. the trigger warning intro helped a lot

Shaun Yoder

I know i'm late to this, but I have to comment. As soon as you got to the part about the machette that nazi bought, I knew in my heart it was a Cold Steel product. the fasc *love* Cold Steel products. That guy who tried to do a mass shooting at a federal courthouse in texas and got killed had the same thing. It wasn't just a machette, it was a gladius machette, cause if there's one thing nazis love more than white people it's roman shit. Edit: lol I should have kept watching.

Laura Torlaschi

I love that this video has more lore about that Uber ride you paid for that ended in your joke being stolen

Victoria grew insolent in her chromatic perversion

16:43 oh Harry boyyy the pipes the pipes are caaalling

bmmbooshoot

hi hbomb. i joined up today. i need you to know that it was that shit end card white on black patreon notice that finally pushed me to come here and join your patreon. i was like. yeah you know what? i do wanna see the takes you ruined and the bonus video on myst, a game i've never played before. so here i am. thanks for everything you do man.

Morten

Your Kevin jokes always makes me laugh.

sohovapottu

Either can do it. Just stay safe, exposure to mold or dust can make you more vulnerable to the same symptoms later on. P.S Thanks for existing, your videos have made a genuinely better human being and I would not be in a stable and loving relationship right now if I hadn't encountered your videos back when I was an "anti-feminist"

Hbomb

It was either mold or just a lot of dust, I'm not really sure what it was if I'm being honest but I especially remember how dusty the closets with the ancient computer systems were. I'm so glad it went away soon after I quit.

sohovapottu

Did you come into contact with mold on the job? Since what you describe in the coughing fits is very similar to what I, and a friend of mine had for a year or two. At the time we went to a school with a major mold problem, which we have pinned as the reason for our symptoms. No kidding some teachers started to think, that we were just heavy smokers and confronted us several times about it. I've never touched a cigarette in my life.

aljaffe

You keep mispronouncing BNP Youf.

Jonathan Hendry

They were then, too.

Xelias

A few years ago, you made videos dunking on some dickheads talking to their cameras in 480p with a plastic skull in the background. Now their ideas are the mainline ethos of the US' republican party.

Matt

It's almost nostalgic looking back at the very amateur beginnings of this rhetoric... Now we have the Daily Wire.

ladymew

audio cuts out for me at 1:34:40 -1:34:45

kaemon bonet

Do we get updates about progress towards videos anywhere? I feel like I should have some idea if something is coming out in the future but I can't find anything. It's been a minute.

KevlarNinja

It's so nice to get these retrospectives. Gives context to bits I never got, and reminds me of one of the things I used to like back when I was a Channel Awesome fan (we were all young once, lol). Namely, when folks would do commentary uploads of videos and shoot the shit about what they thought worked or didn't about an older video. I dunno, I guess I just enjoy reflection from creators I enjoy.

KevlarNinja

Not to mention, from what little I've seen from him, brow beating Indigenous people and generally anyone critical of Auzzie Labour.

B.M. Deadrock

Any chance we'll get a video from you covering friendlyjordies? You appeared in one of his videos calling Clive Palmer a "fatty mcfuckhead", which I was surprised to see considering most of what Jordan Shanks has to say is completely full of shit. Just got into an argument with him about his love for Jordan Peterson and his unhealthy devotion to the cult of "self-help" bullshit.

Jeffrey Theobald

Didn't one of the other BNP guys and his girlfriend get arrested recently?

Gene

Hi, I just started watching this (late, I know..) and I got really interested in the part about Herbert Marcuse, specifically the critique of marxism with the middle-class argument. Any chance you remember which of his book is about that?

Sarah Cook

Me, someone who has had their mind ruined by medical school, when you talked about getting asthma: "ah yes occupational asthma, it's a (literal) killer"

SurgeryHead

more a dese would be cool

Eddi Strauss

Hey all! I just joined the patreon today. After watching this video I am reassured, that I don't regret joining. :D Well done, Hbomb! This was a lot of fun to watch and a nice blast from the past in terms of weirdos. Rockin' Mr. E is one of a kind...

Professor Hazard

Don't touch that beard, Splimby. It's perfection!

The Beating of a Horse's Hooves

You have no idea how validating it is to hear someone else point out the weird credibility issues with the youtube wiki. Like... they have such a clear rightward slant that it's weird I don't hear more people talking about it.

The Brad Show

That door was really blue. Like I'm talking REALLY really blue.

Kinda Funny Rhetorician

I remember when HBomb learned about that Renshaw guy. Someone casually mentioned his arrest in a comment on the HBomb fanpage on Facebook (before it got nuked) and it was one of the very few times HBomb actually replied and effectively said "what the fuck?!"

Charles Hufnagel

Keep up the good work! I'm not sure if you ran into this article already, but golden was featured in this NY Times article about questionable orthodontic practices and their popularity with a subset of incels if you need additional weirdness for the "where are they now" section Paywall-less link: https://www.nytimes.com/2020/08/20/magazine/teeth-mewing-incels.html?unlocked_article_code=AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACEIPuomT1JKd6J17Vw1cRCfTTMQmqxCdw_PIxftm3iWma3DFDmwaiOEcDIGS-kHAIrZuasczmjGWW95HP_ouQvd_yvQZP1BoT0PghKq4r6k_And_r5OvDCRx1ojRXLs8_HixMTngIel0yviz5k6NdWW7CKPA2CZyIBJmoZpkJlih0CQPwP3VA6UijIkFqPQqDpl_RTcBZTDb_KW7TkUjZ6jVK03U-QI0WOpGWDDMndX66rsIcQ5aC12uX2ooqC9nq4saYIVLSf65ex0we8P-gqETAnhrLOqrBp4zRIvVkNZ6oAxMDah0Wj4oBn_LHmJ7v84&smid=url-share

Jordy

I love seeing these retrospectives! and thank you for being so extremely encouraging of doing what you think is right and not what you think will be popular. I write and sometimes it's hard to not want to do what you think people will like instead of what you like.

Devon

That was very enjoyable!

Jordan Owen

Harris- please read the DM that I sent you. Not the video link that I sent ages ago, I mean the written message I sent you yesterday.

Liam Kofi Bright

Everything about this is incredibly endearing. Just thank you for sharing, and keep on being you.

Atheist Jr.

I support your use of howdy as a texan.

SibirianBlue

The guy's wife likely being the breadwinner is just beyond words.

Sarah L

Great retrospective. Are you certain you weren’t living with Pipes from Ghostwatch?

Matthew McCoy

Get a cat. Get a cat. YOU SHOULD GET A CAT!

Patrick Harris

Hey, I just wanted to note that I adore these retrospectives and I really hope you continue to make them. :)

Daily Katie

Who could’ve guessed that someone who is very anti-LGBT in public is actually a gay pedo.

peachycliodhna

I watched the original video first and thought, “wait, he has a cat?” and now I am sad Cody is no longer with you (but happy he got the proper medicine). I enjoyed this update quite a bit, thank you! Your shirt really resonated while you reviewed a video that is still very much (unfortunately) relevant today. But always fun to get those “where are they now” type updates, most of which was to be expected but that last one…that was something to behold. Wow.

William Remsburg

A new bomberguy video? SHOOT IT INTO MY VEEEEEEEEEEEEEINS!

Ro the Lion

That was really fun, I enjoyed this really casual look back at the context of something that was both the first *I'd* ever heard of the term 'cultural marxist', and something which I've watched for laughs a not insignificant amount. It's really comfy to sit here while the world burns, and reflect on how much has changed while a lot hasn't, and also learn about a very good cat.

Hbomb

This was funny, even though I still felt pain before my brain recognised it as a joke

PotentPinion

You can't hold all that cowboy in your heart, it has to be expressed

Tara Kay

The pause before the word terrorist is said and revealed on the screenshot has real "Weapon: Trumpet" energy.

Jason Tracey

Great video, but the sparkling water on your moustache has made me rethink my level of respect for you, and I will be withdrawing my support. Be better.

Komisarz

I would love too see a like fallout style "where are they now" slide show. Get Ron Perlman to do the voice over for it

Hbomb

my office is REALLY well-insulated because it used to be a garage, so it stores heat incredibly well. Nice for winter...not as nice for the hottest summer ever

Hbomb

oh my god it's been that long hasn't it

Penny Gotch

All I can say about Renshaw is just... wow. WOW. That is such a heady mix of terrifying and utterly pathetic. Also would recommend getting a cat, they are lovely creatures :3

Devon

lol. No one in the UK has air conditioning. It used to be a cold country, so our houses are designed to be warm. Now it's warming up, we're all toasting like good little buns inside our little oven houses.

Stephanie Thompson

Also unironically is that shirt a thing you are/are considering doing for merch of some kind cauuuuseeee

Stephanie Thompson

What a non surprise that a right wing dipshit was living off his wife while talking shit into his camera about women in the daytime and not apparently at any point actually working lmao

Will E.

“i thought it was domestic violence but it was just jacksepticeye playing a video game” is perhaps the best anecdote ive ever heard

Kate

You should get a cat, they are amazing and whenever you don’t know how to end a video you can just say “my cat needs me got to go”.

Darron Perry Jr

I like these retrospectives. The 'where are they now?' information is super interesting. I do have to say though, no air conditioning in a place that's getting over 40°C and electrical issues through the whole place?! You gotta vet where you live better, I'd like to hear an update that uncomfortable living situations are a thing of the past for you.

Triscaleon

Where did you get that shirt it’s amazing and I want one.

Inspector Tiger

This is HB's version of 7 Up

Sedric And Charlie

I can't quite get over Jack Renshaw's emotional conflict with his dog in light of how things turned out. Looking forward to when we finally get to the retrospective on the Deus Ex video
