This is how a human do...

Ze frank is a social genius. He made every one comforable by making them uncomforable as a joke then kept making them laugh so they could deal with the heavy part
-
He should have ended this with "And that is what the human do-o."

“‘Everything will be alright,’ is not the same thing as ‘Everything will stay the same.’” - Seth Godin

the white Morgan Freeman
-
how stupid would he feel if an alien was in that audience
-
The way he raises his hand at the end makes me want to give him a hug
-
I have another question for the human test: Do you miss Ze Frank on YouTube? - raising hand -
-
I feel like the reason this is so fantastic is the way that he manages to slip in an actual sad thing we do amongst all the humor.
-
True facts about humanity.
-
"Have you ever marveled at how someone you thought was so ordinary could suddenly become so beautiful?"
-
I need his voice for my GPS navigation.
-
Come for the comedy, leave with tears in your eyes...
-
I wonder if he would be willing to consider himself a poet, because that was absolute poetry
-
True fact, this mans voice makes everything feel better.
-
This man is so incredible. For me, it's because he simply is rawly honest with himself and his human state. Our existence is silly, obsurd, painful, lonely and sometimes throws us into a state of bliss. We all see ourselves in him and that is why we love him. For his quirkiness and comedy but also loneliness and pain he is willing to expose.
-
Ze Frank is quite adept at making you laugh then suddenly making you want to cry.
-
Have you ever woken up, blissfully, then suddenly been flooded by the awful remembrance that someone had left you? Have you ever lost the ability to imagine a future without a person that no longer was in your life? Have you ever looked back at that moment with a sad smile of autumn and the realization that future will happen regardless? Congratulations, you you have completed the test - you are all human
-
I love how funny and informal this was at the start, then it just sits you down and makes you think about how you feel and forces self reflection.

"Have you ever lost the ability to imagine a future without a person that no longer was in your life? Have you ever looked back on that event with the sad smile of autumn and the realization that futures will happen regardless? ..... Congratulations. You have now completed the test. You are all human." Wow.... That hits deep . Thankyou for depicting the subtle beauty of the travesties in us all
