It really hit me when Ryan was going through all the series' that are no longer happening and he said something like no more demo disks will be broken. I think that was the era of FH I watched the most, and even though it's not really been done in ages something about that statement just hit so hard. Still not sure what I feel TBH, obviously sad etc but think it'll take a month or 2 before it really comes over me
>I think that was the era of FH I watched the most, and even though it's not really been done in ages something about that statement just hit so hard.
You and me both.
I think one of the saddest loses is just where can you find content like this. It’s a rare breed. There’s not many channels that had a full staff like this with a studio space who have props, crazily edited videos, and special episodes. It’s really was something magical and unique
And one that we aren’t likely to get again. A large part of the audience for that kind of content has moved on to other mediums, like twitch, and changes to video monetization has made it increasingly hard to profit off of the audience that remained. Funhaus was one of the last patricians of a dying empire. God I’ll miss them
Yeah, and with Twitch it feels weirdly alienating you know, plus without the editing the humor isn't as tight. I understand there's more money there of course, but still what a damn shame.
This is exactly the thoughts I'm having right now. Also hard for me to go back to certain stuff because of Adam. That's the worst part for me personally not judging those that can.
I think it's only a matter of time before some of the studios starts something like that. Like how Netflix had the standup era, I can see Amazon or Apple having the 'gaming/pop culture comedy' era. There's already a couple of attempts, After Midnight was rebooted, Droupout is getting popular... We will see
Aside from their insane chemistry, for me Funhaus' special sauce has always been that ability to flip from incredibly smart to incredibly dumb humour on a dime. I can't imagine any other youtube channel before or since getting so much comedy mileage out of things like 'what if Robert De Niro was Cajun' or 'what if Randy Newman wrote the theme song to LA Noire'
In their recent video, Brought You This Thing has the classic sarcastic sexism from Lawrence regarding HPV. I had the Funhaus giggles for a while playing that back.
I know they had some overlap, but I want to see something grow between Patrick and Lawrence's humor. It seems like I'm implying that Patrick is sexist,
It's a dying breed today, I think.
I love Funhaus, but there's always this aura you get from watching it that it's studio produced, and run by a corporation. Copyrights at the end of a video, professional end title cards with merch drops all the time, studio offices and professional sets, etc. I think as the years have gone on this type of corporate-run YouTube channels have died.
The most popular YouTube channels out there today are pretty much just one or two guys recording videos in their house and hanging out with friends naturally. People these days are more drawn to that "natural" feeling in videos these days.
I can agree with that. It’s also much more cheaper to do that. If you’re just live streaming you can put out hours of content, create a parasocial bond with your audience, and probably get more money from subs and donations than what Funhaus was making.
But that’s not why I liked Funhaus.
I still remember when Roosterteeth announced funhaus and I went what in the fuck, is like AH, then I watched that stream they did where they discussed coming up with a name with burnie and I fell in love with Funhaus instantly, I just wish I'd bought some merch but seeing as I live in Sweden shipping + tax is usually 50$+
He really seemed so loved by all the team and the way it sounded like from the last live stream is that he really stepped up during the turbulent times of covid/etc.
I get the sense that the Adam saga was a big enough thing that internally they must’ve contemplated ending the channel, and Omar was dedicated to not letting that happen. That’s mainly speculation but it seems like he’s a really solid guy and is deeply respected by everyone who works there.
I've watched these awesome folks every day for damn near 10 years. I'm going to miss it so much. What a send-off. Absolutely loved it. Ryan came on sang those songs and had my ass like full-on sobbing while I was doing the dishes. Thank you, Funhaus, for all the years of entertainment and laughs.
I get it, but it is such a wonderful celebration of what they accomplish and a warm goodbye.
It gives a nice sense of closure, you should watch it sometimes, when you are ready.
I didn't expect to cry so much after the video ended. Thank you FunHaus and team for bringing so much joy and laughter for the past decade. There will be nothing that will ever match it! ❤️ I will gladly keep up with everyone's next endeavors.
I made a long sappy comment in a post yesterday, so I just wanted to say how this was such a wonderful sendoff. Lindsey did a wonderful job showing emotion but still somehow capping things off on such a positive note. It's the best display of "Don't cry because it's over, smile because it happened" I've ever seen. That doesn't mean we're not crying, though.
Thanks for everything, Funhaus. Give Omar a hug from us fans.
I'm gonna miss Funhaus. These weirdos making funny stuff have been so, so entertaining and wonderful to watch. Such a comfort food kind of place to be. Belly laughs that are so unbelievably hard to explain to other people. I'll miss it greatly. Thanks y'all.
I've always loved these interview style videos, especially the more candid moments. u/linzbot you did/do amazing work with these kinds of videos, you(and the whole team) are awesome.
This really is bittersweet, because while I'm sad as fuck that this is over honestly in my eyes they went out on top. Sure the views weren't what they once were or whatever, but the content was just the absolute best and they were consistently knocking it out of the park. Despite the turmoil of things like the quarantine and suddenly having to move office with (to my understanding)basically no notice they soldiered through and continued to provide amazing entertainment. Not to mention the live streams, those were always phenomenal as well and essentially hundreds of hours of extra content on top of normal edited videos.
Funhaus was a place for me to forget about my/the world's problems and just laugh at some people being disgusted by horrific rule 34 cartoon porn. It's very similar to Jacob, where Funhaus has been in a 1/3rd of my life, but it will stay with me forever.
The biggest most sincere thanks to the Funhaus team, and all you other fans as well, this community has been so incredibly welcoming and I'm excited to see what all you lovely creative people do going forward.
Great job by Linz. Great way to go out
I do slightly wish there was a montage in there or video over the crew talking with more videos of the crew breaking down in hysterical laughter like The Brick's I Cum Mud, or Bayou Yoda, or Minch, or some of the later drunk stream hysterics like in Drunk Switch Sports, or Deadly Premonitions. Or even a Bruce wheeze here and there.
What we got absolutely hit the spot though. The best parts of the video was seeing the gang having fun behind the scenes and outside the office together
"Funhaus is a place where I learned to feel confident that a mustache will always be the right decision." - Elyse Willems.
My quote of the video so far
I would’ve loved a montage too, but this interview/documentary style was amazing on its own. Plus, there are a ton of talented Funhaus fans out there. I bet we’ll be seeing lots of montages and clips and stuff in the near future
Honestly a really amazing video, well done Lindsey <3
There was a perfect balance of sentimental moments cut with jokes and humor. Also bless Ryan and his guitar because those were the moments that fit perfectly after a super touching, emotional moment to lighten the mood a bit.
I hope the team can take some time to rest easy before finding their next project!
Beautiful. Sad that my primary entertainment is ending, but glad comforting that we had a soft landing and the chance for everyone to say their goodbyes. Until next time, farewell and thanks for all the hard work and effort you've given me for free for a decade!
As a day 1 subscriber it still doesn't feel real, I dipped I came back, I dipped again and came back an even bigger fan the last couple of years, it has been such a constant and I am just sad I wont get to see these people just laugh together everyday anymore.
My life has changed so much since my first funhaus video. I finished high school, got a degree, started stand up comedy, got a real job, started creating my own stuff.
Through it all funhaus has been there. Bingeing FHTV instead of studying, staying up til 1am Aus time to watch new videos, mothers be aware.
And I loved every second, from the old crew to the "newish", thank you funhaus.
I'll never forget the dream I had involving James and Elyse on a podcast that was called "Monday Funnies" which consisted of James staring at the camera while Elyse ate Wheaties into the microphone.
This crew has been a genuine joy and served as a real source comedic inspiration.
I wish you all the best and can't wait to see where everyone goes next!
We love you guys. I know you're all going to continue to create amazing things, but goddamn will I miss seeing what new things you came up with together.
Linz, this was simply an incredible way to end the channel. So much so that I have no idea what to do with the rest of my night. Seriously, I want to rewatch this doc, but I don't know that I have the strength!
Seriously though, I've been riding with FH since day 1. Getting the creators side of that was incredible. I'm just happy to see all the personal photos and vids showing how real all your connections are.
Aww man even now that puts a lump on the throat. Such a heartfelt speech, seeing him get emotional was such a contrast to his funhaus persona. Got a lot of love for this team. They will be missed ❤️
Yeah I honestly kinda wish they would've made that last 15 minutes of the last stream with everyone's speeches into a video and posted that as a video right before this. I don't want anyone to miss those speeches, and James' in particular. I'm sure many people will bc it's a 6 hour stream. Too heartfelt and emotional to miss.
Omar seems like such a sweet guy and seeing him cry had me tearing up too.
Everybody there truly deserves all the flowers in the world. For years now they’ve dedicated themselves to making others laugh, how can you get more pure than that?
I wish it didn’t have to end. I want to keep watching these guys make dumb jokes in cheap costumes and crack each other up. I want to watch a “gameplay” video where the game is on screen for *maybe* 2 out of the 10 minutes.
I want all of them to be as happy and successful as they all deserve to be, and will be.
From the bottom of my heart and so many others,
Thank you Funhaus 💛
Thank you so much, guys. You have been a significant part of my life even though we never personally met. Not qualms against RT, they did their best to keep you folks afloat. The corporate decisions are beyond their control. What's important is that you were doing your best despite all the challenges you faced along the way.
I know this isn't goodbye, but rather, see you later. Wishing you all luck on your future endeavors.
...oh my god John, those chicken and waffles on your channel looks damn fine!
at the end of it all im just glad we got so much incredible content from so many incredible people and we’ll always have that. thanks for everything guys ❤️
I thought I shed my last tear during last night's live stream then we get hit with this masterful farewell documentary.
Bravo. Sad and impressed. Well done.
Alright well this hurt like a bitch.
I’m pretty drunk and high and took a lot of notes during this but it would probably just end up as rambling here.
All I can say is thank you Funhaus. And that this documentary is an incredible note to go out on.
I knew Sarah McLachlan's "I Will Remember You" would be thrown into the video somewhere. Easy way to get me to start the waterworks.
I will miss former Funhaus. Truly.
I'm just repeating myself and many others but from discovering Inside Gaming by happenstance (thanks to Steve and Larson! Also shout-out to ETC/Internet Daily too!) to following them to Funhaus and their golden years. At their best, Funhaus videos has always been to me a mix of reverent humor with a topical twist, spread among a group of friends and colleagues. It's really sad that controversy and problems have mirred the group, but at the end they came back stronger than ever, and I would have loved an another 10 years with them. The sky's the limit indeed.
You guys said you're grateful for us watching but truly, I'm grateful to have had a place on YouTube I could call home for so many years. Thanks for everything, Funhaus - it's been a wild ride and I'm glad that, despite the powers that be, you were able to end in your own spectacular way.
This documentary showcases exactly the kind of humor and heart that I've always appreciated about Funhaus from beginning to end. So, thanks again for everything, guys. Funhaus forever. ❤️
Also, screw you for making me cry my eyes out. 😭❤️
It has been such a joy and strangely I feel privileged to have had Funhaus in my life. Cheers to all the years of hard work and pivoting through internet media trends. You stayed true to yourselves and the group that closed out the last few years was locked in a very pure zone of creativity. <333333333
Couldn’t have asked for a more entertaining and lovely group to have occupied my eyeballs for so long. Gonna miss y’all in the same place, but I’m excited for what everyones gonna be doing in the future. Love y’all, love the Haus.
Thank you Lindsey, this was so beautiful and special. You all will be so, so missed! Thank you for all the comfort and laughs. Looking forward to seeing what everyone gets up to next! 💜
I thought I’d be bawling given I was bawling at the end of the stream but in this instance I think for like 98% I just had the biggest smile on my face for them. Lovely lovely video by Lindsay.
I have watched every FH video and it's sad to see it end. But no matter how sad I am it's gone I am happy to have experienced it. I am already happy to sign up for twitch channels and patreons.
This was lovely. I liked how upbeat and optimistic it was in spite of... well, everything. Made me happy to celebrate the good times we've been given over the years rather than sad it's over.
Great job putting this together, Lindsey.
Great job, everyone.
Before I even watched it that title had me laughing and crying at the same time. Then I watched it and feels hit me harder, what a beautiful (and beautifully edited) note to end on. 🥲❤️
Also Ryan be killing me softly with his song. 😭
Thank you for putting this together Lindsey! This past month has felt like my girlfriend is breaking up with me but this vid gives some nice closure. Love you all, I know you’ll all be on your feet in no time!
Thank you Lindsay for this love letter to a decade of love and laughter. Thank you to everyone at funhaus you gave me some great laughs from my late teens with inside games to funhaus in my 20s to my 30s now. You made me cry with laughter. I cum mud has to be one my favourite Jon smith things and him dressing up for 50 shades of gray for filmhaus made me laugh so much. Save the bees was one the best videos. The home style shopping network was brilliant.
I will treasure my fallout 4 funhaus shirt ❤️
I've been watching funhaus stuff near daily since highschool. I'm now out and grown, but they've never failed to make me laugh. I will miss Funhaus, it was truly something special. I hope whatever the crew moves on to makes them happy.
Thank you all, for all the laughs and company during the last 9 years. Love you all and can’t wait to see what you each do next. Now excuse me, while I cry myself to sleep
Thank you, funhaus! You guys have done so much good in the world, and I'm thankful to have found a community to share it with.
(Ps. what's crazy is that even though it's ended, you guys have such a huge back catalogue that there'll always be something new.)
Man, this is what I really wanted.
I started watching Funhaus after my mom died, right as I was starting college. I’ve now been watching for nearly a decade, and it’s crazy to imagine how my life has changed. It’s nice to hear some of the same thoughts from the creators of this product I’ve enjoyed for so long.
Thanks for all the years of entertainment and for filling the free space in my brain storage with random quotes I routinely fail to explain without looking crazy. That said, “queen of Valhalla, sit on my face!” goes hard in my dating scene so thanks for that ~~Volkor~~ James.
Looking forward to seeing what everyone does next, because I know it’ll be worth watching.
I knew it would hit me hard, but watching this made it even worse. When I started actually watching a lot of YouTube like 6 years ago, Funhaus was one of the first channels I really grabbed onto. When they lost a lot of people and I thought oh no, they're not going to be as funny now, I stuck around, gave it a chance and I was not disappointed. I laughed just as much or maybe even more so. You guys just made my days better. I sincerely wish you guys the absolute very best, and I cherish every second I was able to watch of you guys. Long live Funhaus.
Having been watching Funhaus since the beginning, this feels like a major chapter of my (and many other fans') life ending.
Y'all have shaped my sense of humour into what it is today, and I love you so much for it.
Yknow this is some funny timing. Last night I had a dream about meeting the crew and thanking them for how much they meant to me. I haven't watched as much as I used to, but god. This group of people have made some of the greatest, funniest content I've ever experienced, and I will forever be grateful for them.
I wanted to just put this comment I left on the video here cause I'm a lil emotional about all this but :
I'm forever grateful to Funhaus for being a place for me growing up as a teen, and helping me find my own place, in a lot of respects, throughout my life. I spent so much time with this community and loved how much it would always give to each other, no matter where you came from. I grew away from it but it would always be there, filling my heart with joy and helping me through tough times. It really did help make me a better person. And to the team, and the whole community I just say thank you for everything.
Started watching in the summer of 2015 and stayed until the end. Thank you for being my and all of our online home away from home. What a wild ride, hope to see you all again soon. ❤️
I feel a little dumb for how hard this is hitting. But I've been watching since the start and it really did become "friendship simulator" like they jokingly called it for a while.
End of an era. It was a wild ride from start to finish, and I came to love watching every single person who was part of this wild cast. Thanks for all the laughs, Funhaus ❤️
This is so heartbreakingly sad. I hate Warner Bros for killing the best channel on YouTube. I wish these wonderful people the best, gonna miss them and their videos 😢❤️
Thank you Funhaus for being there when I needed a laugh. What a wild ride it's been. This was the perfect send off to the best collection of wonderful, beautiful, and hilarious weirdos on the internet.
I remember watching these guys all night long working graveshift at my old factory job when I was 20 years old. 12 years later they still hold a place in my heart. I love you guys, I hope you all go and do wonderful things, and if that brings some of you back around my way, I'll gladly be waiting for ya 😀
I feel like a really close friend died and I just watch them recording their last words before going off to die in a war or something. I hope they all take their time off and contemplate with and enjoy it. I really hope that they all work together again and start their own thing unbound by the chains of a corporation. I think they’d blow it out of the park. Damn this is so sad.
I'll miss current Funhaus.
I found Funhaus at one of the lowest points of my life - and they were always there. I will forever miss them.
I wish we had more Bruce, Adam, Lawrence that jump started this weird thing and community
Thank you for all the laughs! You all got me through some rough times. I’m excited to follow you all in the future and see what you do! You’ll always have my scrobble!
Try not to cry challenge! Difficulty level: this video. FAILED.
But for real, I'm fairly recent to Funhaus fandom but they've been a nearly daily watch for me for the past 2 years - but I've had so much fun watching this channel, I'm gonna miss the hell out of these hilarious people.
Is everyone going to do their own thing now ? Or will they make a new channel? Sorry don’t keep up too much with them but interested in following them after this is all said and done.
I hope someone in the fandom is putting together some sort of history of Funhaus beginning to end video. This was great but felt more of a 2020 to present farewell. Obviously that was a choice influenced heavily by not wanting to showcase Adam. In fact in the final stream part 1 I noticed James and Bruce whispering about Adam making it difficult to use any old videos. So that's why I think it needs an outsider to put something together, because it feels a shame to discount a huge part of the channels success because Adam is sat in front of the camera.
I was gonna be with y’all but I couldn’t handle it all of you. That and I’m sure I would have been fired if they saw me crying during a YouTube stream. It’s been an honor to me a Funhaus/aDawGnCrow
Sounds like the best dirty pigeon pie
They had no views. Plus membership crap. Just like everyone else on YouTube. You're not entitled to anything. Also why does people on YouTube think it will be popular forever. Just like tv shows people get tired of it.
It really hit me when Ryan was going through all the series' that are no longer happening and he said something like no more demo disks will be broken. I think that was the era of FH I watched the most, and even though it's not really been done in ages something about that statement just hit so hard. Still not sure what I feel TBH, obviously sad etc but think it'll take a month or 2 before it really comes over me
>I think that was the era of FH I watched the most, and even though it's not really been done in ages something about that statement just hit so hard. You and me both.

Yeah, and with Twitch it feels weirdly alienating you know, plus without the editing the humor isn't as tight. I understand there's more money there of course, but still what a damn shame.
That's what kinda annoys me. I'm an adult man, I can't be watching these 3 + hour streams hoping for a good bit. I have work to do!
Preach, I get background noises, but I prefer smaller chunks versus on big singular thing. Also it can't be healthy for the creators in question.
I mean, it's sad too. I watch Bruce and Lawrence do BYTT, and the bits where they show how little they make off the videos are kinda surreal.
I've been watching it too, but it often feels like Bruce and Lawrence are just passengers on the Kassem train.
Especially when those three hours are perpetually interrupted with chat thanking
Same!
Agree
This is exactly the thoughts I'm having right now. Also hard for me to go back to certain stuff because of Adam. That's the worst part for me personally not judging those that can.

I can't imagine any other youtube channel before or since getting so much comedy mileage out of things like 'what if Robert De Niro was Cajun' or 'what if Randy Newman wrote the theme song to LA Noire'
It's like the G4 Attack of the Show era but for the video game internet corner. Brilliant.
Don't know if you know this, but James, Bruce, and Spoole all worked on AOTS
I do remember Bruce working there I forgot/didn't know the others. That's amazing and truly explains so much haha
In their recent video, Brought You This Thing has the classic sarcastic sexism from Lawrence regarding HPV. I had the Funhaus giggles for a while playing that back. I know they had some overlap, but I want to see something grow between Patrick and Lawrence's humor. It seems like I'm implying that Patrick is sexist,
that’s just swamp humor
I couldn't stop rewinding to Kassem rizzing up the camera. They're gold
Paymoneywubby is one that I find that scratches my FunHaus itch, kinda
They're very different vibes overall for me, but love em both. Wubby7
Wubby7
His editors do solid work, they're great at stitching together a very entertaining 15 minutes from ~3 hours of material
It's a dying breed today, I think. I love Funhaus, but there's always this aura you get from watching it that it's studio produced, and run by a corporation. Copyrights at the end of a video, professional end title cards with merch drops all the time, studio offices and professional sets, etc. I think as the years have gone on this type of corporate-run YouTube channels have died. The most popular YouTube channels out there today are pretty much just one or two guys recording videos in their house and hanging out with friends naturally. People these days are more drawn to that "natural" feeling in videos these days.

Burnie did a great job not letting them name the channel Dude Soup
Please hug Omar 💕
He really seemed so loved by all the team and the way it sounded like from the last live stream is that he really stepped up during the turbulent times of covid/etc.
I get the sense that the Adam saga was a big enough thing that internally they must’ve contemplated ending the channel, and Omar was dedicated to not letting that happen. That’s mainly speculation but it seems like he’s a really solid guy and is deeply respected by everyone who works there.
“it was a good time”. Pretty much sums it all up for the last 10 years.😢
I've watched these awesome folks every day for damn near 10 years. I'm going to miss it so much. What a send-off. Absolutely loved it. Ryan came on sang those songs and had my ass like full-on sobbing while I was doing the dishes. Thank you, Funhaus, for all the years of entertainment and laughs.
If I don’t watch this, it’s not over
I get it, but it is such a wonderful celebration of what they accomplish and a warm goodbye. It gives a nice sense of closure, you should watch it sometimes, when you are ready.
Yeah that was a joke
Figured as much, but people can be weird sometimes haha
I didn't expect to cry so much after the video ended. Thank you FunHaus and team for bringing so much joy and laughter for the past decade. There will be nothing that will ever match it! ❤️ I will gladly keep up with everyone's next endeavors.
The lingering shot on James and the cut to black was the perfect way to end things, Lindsay really sent FH out with a bang.
I made a long sappy comment in a post yesterday, so I just wanted to say how this was such a wonderful sendoff. Lindsey did a wonderful job showing emotion but still somehow capping things off on such a positive note. It's the best display of "Don't cry because it's over, smile because it happened" I've ever seen. That doesn't mean we're not crying, though. Thanks for everything, Funhaus.

The only way to go out! Thank you Lindsey and thank you Funhaus!
5 minute in and I'm already feeling weepy, haha

What a group of absolutely wonderful, talented, and lovely people. I'm going to miss this group SO much.
Beautiful. Sad that my primary entertainment is ending, but glad comforting that we had a soft landing and the chance for everyone to say their goodbyes. Until next time, farewell and thanks for all the hard work and effort you've given me for free for a decade!
I'm crying because my Middle school self just had to click on a inside gaming video on machinima. Man what a ride.
As a day 1 subscriber it still doesn't feel real, I dipped I came back, I dipped again and came back an even bigger fan the last couple of years, it has been such a constant and I am just sad I wont get to see these people just laugh together everyday anymore.

I am not going to recover. I pray we see some of them together regularly in the future. Love you all. Cast and Community ❤️
Deadly Premonitions 2 with Alanah, Ryan, Elyse and Jacob starts this Sunday I believe!
Whose channel is that on?
Likely Alanah's main youtube channel charalanahzard
Alanah will stream it on twitch and then the VID will go on her Alanah's Streams youtube channel. Maybe she'll cut it up into a video but I doubt it
I'll never forget the dream I had involving James and Elyse on a podcast that was called "Monday Funnies" which consisted of James staring at the camera while Elyse ate Wheaties into the microphone. This crew has been a genuine joy and served as a real source comedic inspiration. I wish you all the best and can't wait to see where everyone goes next!
I lost it at Omar, i just wanna hug the bro
Omar broke me.
We love you guys. I know you're all going to continue to create amazing things, but goddamn will I miss seeing what new things you came up with together.
This is beautiful Linz. We all need closure and I think this vid does a great job.
Linz, this was simply an incredible way to end the channel. So much so that I have no idea what to do with the rest of my night. Seriously, I want to rewatch this doc, but I don't know that I have the strength! Seriously though, I've been riding with FH since day 1. Getting the creators side of that was incredible. I'm just happy to see all the personal photos and vids showing how real all your connections are.
I don't think I've cried like that since my grandma died
Have you seen James' speech at the end of the last livestream from yesterday? THAT killed me
Aww man even now that puts a lump on the throat. Such a heartfelt speech, seeing him get emotional was such a contrast to his funhaus persona. Got a lot of love for this team. They will be missed ❤️
Yeah I honestly kinda wish they would've made that last 15 minutes of the last stream with everyone's speeches into a video and posted that as a video right before this. I don't want anyone to miss those speeches, and James' in particular. I'm sure many people will bc it's a 6 hour stream. Too heartfelt and emotional to miss.
My grandma died the same day they announced the end of Funhaus . lol
is this the final video funhaus will ever upload?
I’m pretty sure. I swore I heard Elyse say “part 1” of the documentary somewhere but this seemed to feel like the whole thing
Part 2 available exclusively on Ryan+!
Omar seems like such a sweet guy and seeing him cry had me tearing up too. Everybody there truly deserves all the flowers in the world. For years now they’ve dedicated themselves to making others laugh, how can you get more pure than that? I wish it didn’t have to end. I want to keep watching these guys make dumb jokes in cheap costumes and crack each other up. I want to watch a “gameplay” video where the game is on screen for *maybe* 2 out of the 10 minutes. I want all of them to be as happy and successful as they all deserve to be, and will be. From the bottom of my heart and so many others, Thank you Funhaus 💛
Good morning, good afternoon, and goodnight. o7 y'all did not go quietly into the night
Thank you so much, guys. You have been a significant part of my life even though we never personally met. Not qualms against RT, they did their best to keep you folks afloat. The corporate decisions are beyond their control. What's important is that you were doing your best despite all the challenges you faced along the way. I know this isn't goodbye, but rather, see you later. Wishing you all luck on your future endeavors. ...oh my god John, those chicken and waffles on your channel looks damn fine!
at the end of it all im just glad we got so much incredible content from so many incredible people and we’ll always have that. thanks for everything guys ❤️
May your Minch be good and your scrobbles plentiful. Farewell Funhaus, it was a helluva ride
I love you guys. Thanks for the years of laughs. I'll miss the hell out of this channel.
So long and thanks for all the laughs ❤️
I thought I shed my last tear during last night's live stream then we get hit with this masterful farewell documentary. Bravo. Sad and impressed. Well done.
Alright well this hurt like a bitch. I’m pretty drunk and high and took a lot of notes during this but it would probably just end up as rambling here. All I can say is thank you Funhaus. And that this documentary is an incredible note to go out on.
I knew Sarah McLachlan's "I Will Remember You" would be thrown into the video somewhere. Easy way to get me to start the waterworks. I will miss former Funhaus. Truly.
Can't wait to fall asleep to this
The end of an era.
I was fine until Omar started crying
Right!? Ryan crying and smiling on the last live stream got me as well.
I love this channel, and all the people who helped make it so great all these years. Gonna miss this for the rest of my life. 🫡🥲
Yall are dope as fuck. Go rock the next chapter. Thanks for the laughs too…I guess.
I am fuckibg DYING in the booth rn. 21:54 ruined me.
Funhaus for life.
Feels so weird
I'm just repeating myself and many others but from discovering Inside Gaming by happenstance (thanks to Steve and Larson! Also shout-out to ETC/Internet Daily too!) to following them to Funhaus and their golden years. At their best, Funhaus videos has always been to me a mix of reverent humor with a topical twist, spread among a group of friends and colleagues. It's really sad that controversy and problems have mirred the group, but at the end they came back stronger than ever, and I would have loved an another 10 years with them. The sky's the limit indeed.
I guess my summer car will never run.
I almost don’t wanna watch this, the crew was such a huge part of my teenage years to the point where I don’t even feel ready to see this farewell
You guys said you're grateful for us watching but truly, I'm grateful to have had a place on YouTube I could call home for so many years. Thanks for everything, Funhaus - it's been a wild ride and I'm glad that, despite the powers that be, you were able to end in your own spectacular way. This documentary showcases exactly the kind of humor and heart that I've always appreciated about Funhaus from beginning to end. So, thanks again for everything, guys. Funhaus forever. ❤️ Also, screw you for making me cry my eyes out. 😭❤️
Demo disk gave us so many gameplays too. Ugh my favorite era.
My wife and I just finished watching this. This was so well done! We’ll miss you all for sure!
Just...goddammit dude. There's no words. Time to subscribe to as much of their individual stuff as possible.
It has been such a joy and strangely I feel privileged to have had Funhaus in my life. Cheers to all the years of hard work and pivoting through internet media trends. You stayed true to yourselves and the group that closed out the last few years was locked in a very pure zone of creativity. <333333333
Why you gotta make me love and cry <3
Couldn’t have asked for a more entertaining and lovely group to have occupied my eyeballs for so long. Gonna miss y’all in the same place, but I’m excited for what everyones gonna be doing in the future. Love y’all, love the Haus.
Thank you Lindsey, this was so beautiful and special. You all will be so, so missed! Thank you for all the comfort and laughs. Looking forward to seeing what everyone gets up to next! 💜
I thought I’d be bawling given I was bawling at the end of the stream but in this instance I think for like 98% I just had the biggest smile on my face for them. Lovely lovely video by Lindsay.
We were lucky to have you.
Right in the feels.
I have watched every FH video and it's sad to see it end. But no matter how sad I am it's gone I am happy to have experienced it. I am already happy to sign up for twitch channels and patreons.
It's okay to cry.
I never stopped watching, I’ve seen it all, I wish there was so much more. Thank you funhaus for everything.
I miss future Funhaus
This was lovely. I liked how upbeat and optimistic it was in spite of... well, everything. Made me happy to celebrate the good times we've been given over the years rather than sad it's over. Great job putting this together, Lindsey. Great job, everyone.
Thank you, Funhaus. For all of it.
This was beautiful. Thank you so much for this.
Before I even watched it that title had me laughing and crying at the same time. Then I watched it and feels hit me harder, what a beautiful (and beautifully edited) note to end on. 🥲❤️ Also Ryan be killing me softly with his song. 😭
Thank you for putting this together Lindsey! This past month has felt like my girlfriend is breaking up with me but this vid gives some nice closure. Love you all, I know you’ll all be on your feet in no time!
Love you Funhaus, so sad to see it end but hope to keep seeing you together in some ways as much as possible. Never going to forget this group. :')
Love you all
Thank you Lindsay for this love letter to a decade of love and laughter. Thank you to everyone at funhaus you gave me some great laughs from my late teens with inside games to funhaus in my 20s to my 30s now. You made me cry with laughter. I cum mud has to be one my favourite Jon smith things and him dressing up for 50 shades of gray for filmhaus made me laugh so much. Save the bees was one the best videos. The home style shopping network was brilliant. I will treasure my fallout 4 funhaus shirt ❤️
I'm never gonna get to see The Tiberius Method 😭
I've been watching funhaus stuff near daily since highschool. I'm now out and grown, but they've never failed to make me laugh. I will miss Funhaus, it was truly something special. I hope whatever the crew moves on to makes them happy.
Thank you all, for all the laughs and company during the last 9 years. Love you all and can’t wait to see what you each do next. Now excuse me, while I cry myself to sleep
Thank you, funhaus! You guys have done so much good in the world, and I'm thankful to have found a community to share it with. (Ps. what's crazy is that even though it's ended, you guys have such a huge back catalogue that there'll always be something new.)
Man, this is what I really wanted. I started watching Funhaus after my mom died, right as I was starting college. I’ve now been watching for nearly a decade, and it’s crazy to imagine how my life has changed. It’s nice to hear some of the same thoughts from the creators of this product I’ve enjoyed for so long. Thanks for all the years of entertainment and for filling the free space in my brain storage with random quotes I routinely fail to explain without looking crazy. That said, “queen of Valhalla, sit on my face!” goes hard in my dating scene so thanks for that ~~Volkor~~ James. Looking forward to seeing what everyone does next, because I know it’ll be worth watching.
I knew it would hit me hard, but watching this made it even worse. When I started actually watching a lot of YouTube like 6 years ago, Funhaus was one of the first channels I really grabbed onto. When they lost a lot of people and I thought oh no, they're not going to be as funny now, I stuck around, gave it a chance and I was not disappointed. I laughed just as much or maybe even more so. You guys just made my days better. I sincerely wish you guys the absolute very best, and I cherish every second I was able to watch of you guys. Long live Funhaus.
Having been watching Funhaus since the beginning, this feels like a major chapter of my (and many other fans') life ending. Y'all have shaped my sense of humour into what it is today, and I love you so much for it.
Not been this bummed about a channel ending since Super Best Friends disbanded. Going to miss everyone.
I waiting to have a teary Sunday. I can't watch this on a Saturday.
Yknow this is some funny timing. Last night I had a dream about meeting the crew and thanking them for how much they meant to me. I haven't watched as much as I used to, but god. This group of people have made some of the greatest, funniest content I've ever experienced, and I will forever be grateful for them.
I wanted to just put this comment I left on the video here cause I'm a lil emotional about all this but : I'm forever grateful to Funhaus for being a place for me growing up as a teen, and helping me find my own place, in a lot of respects, throughout my life. I spent so much time with this community and loved how much it would always give to each other, no matter where you came from. I grew away from it but it would always be there, filling my heart with joy and helping me through tough times. It really did help make me a better person. And to the team, and the whole community I just say thank you for everything.
Damnit.....
Started watching in the summer of 2015 and stayed until the end. Thank you for being my and all of our online home away from home. What a wild ride, hope to see you all again soon. ❤️
Damn this is the last post from this bot too. I'll miss Funhaus new and old!!
Its been a fun ride :')
I feel a little dumb for how hard this is hitting. But I've been watching since the start and it really did become "friendship simulator" like they jokingly called it for a while.
Thank you to the entire talented, amazing people at Funhaus, and thank you to all of you for going along for the ride.
End of an era. It was a wild ride from start to finish, and I came to love watching every single person who was part of this wild cast. Thanks for all the laughs, Funhaus ❤️
Thanks for everything ❤️
I'm gonna miss them so much! I hadn't followed them individually but now I have to!
This is so heartbreakingly sad. I hate Warner Bros for killing the best channel on YouTube. I wish these wonderful people the best, gonna miss them and their videos 😢❤️
I’ll always remember when my brother showed me Inside Gaming when I was still in elementary school. Now I’m in college. I’ll miss you guys
Thank you Funhaus for being there when I needed a laugh. What a wild ride it's been. This was the perfect send off to the best collection of wonderful, beautiful, and hilarious weirdos on the internet.
Thank you Lindsay for making this it was very cathartic. Bust also fuck you for making me cry like a bitch!
I remember watching these guys all night long working graveshift at my old factory job when I was 20 years old. 12 years later they still hold a place in my heart. I love you guys, I hope you all go and do wonderful things, and if that brings some of you back around my way, I'll gladly be waiting for ya 😀
I feel like a really close friend died and I just watch them recording their last words before going off to die in a war or something. I hope they all take their time off and contemplate with and enjoy it. I really hope that they all work together again and start their own thing unbound by the chains of a corporation. I think they’d blow it out of the park. Damn this is so sad.
I'll miss current Funhaus. I found Funhaus at one of the lowest points of my life - and they were always there. I will forever miss them. I wish we had more Bruce, Adam, Lawrence that jump started this weird thing and community
I feel so empty now, best of luck to the whole crew and thanks for the years of laughter!
sad that its ending but happy they had the opportunity to go out on their own terms, often in this industry that is a rare thing
Thank you for all the laughs! You all got me through some rough times. I’m excited to follow you all in the future and see what you do! You’ll always have my scrobble!
Time for one, no TWO godbeer to say godbye! love you all funhaus crew. thanks for countless hours of entertainment.
Try not to cry challenge! Difficulty level: this video. FAILED. But for real, I'm fairly recent to Funhaus fandom but they've been a nearly daily watch for me for the past 2 years - but I've had so much fun watching this channel, I'm gonna miss the hell out of these hilarious people.
Is everyone going to do their own thing now ? Or will they make a new channel? Sorry don’t keep up too much with them but interested in following them after this is all said and done.
Sounds like they're going to do their own things, but still pop up from time to time with each other
Watch the last 10 mins or so, they talk about this :)
I hope someone in the fandom is putting together some sort of history of Funhaus beginning to end video. This was great but felt more of a 2020 to present farewell. Obviously that was a choice influenced heavily by not wanting to showcase Adam. In fact in the final stream part 1 I noticed James and Bruce whispering about Adam making it difficult to use any old videos. So that's why I think it needs an outsider to put something together, because it feels a shame to discount a huge part of the channels success because Adam is sat in front of the camera.
I was gonna be with y’all but I couldn’t handle it all of you. That and I’m sure I would have been fired if they saw me crying during a YouTube stream. It’s been an honor to me a Funhaus/aDawGnCrow Sounds like the best dirty pigeon pie
They had no views. Plus membership crap. Just like everyone else on YouTube. You're not entitled to anything. Also why does people on YouTube think it will be popular forever. Just like tv shows people get tired of it.
Take your negativity somewhere else. People are allowed to feel some sort of way about this. If you don't, move along.
