Had no idea who Ethoslab was and watched a compilation video of YouTubers fanboying over him which was just. Like okay these hermits think he’s the greatest minecrafter ever, sure. Tubbo Fundy and Hbomb?! watching his videos “religiously” since 2011? Huh that’s pretty impressive… JAMES CHARLES BEGGING FOR UPDATES IN THE COMMENTS?! MR BEAST WATCHING NARUTO BECAUSE OF HIM?!?!
Okay watching a few of his videos and some more compilations and I’m starting to see the appeal. His sense of humor and how he trolls people is absolutely top-notch. Burning diamonds and not harvesting the clay… incredible. And the falling sand from the heavens spelling out ETHO’S LAB is so cool! The showmanship. I can’t figure out how he got the apostrophe to float…
HE ANOTHER MASK'ED US IN THE TRUE KAKASHI STYLE. OH MY GOD. I CAN’T BELIEVE I FELL FOR IT. WHAT A LEGEND.
just watched episode 500: world tour. every new thing he shows is blowing my mind. the donor tree farm that tubbo was doing on dsmp probably came from here? and the rube goldberg machine was SO COOL. AND I CAN’T BELIEVE I GOT ABSOLUTELY TROLLED BY THE ANOTHER DOOR AGAIN.
man is out there doing pioneering farms and redstone. this must be the guy who invented minecraft.
etho’s been trolling his viewers since episode 4 oh my god. A running list of stellar moments in no particular order:
“E to the T to your mum”
FACE reveal
picking out the randomest comments
diamonds into the fire
“You’ve been Etho’d”
Etho is to bats what Techno is to orphans
“Just have to go all the way around *yawns* to shoot these things…. very challenging…. to stay awake”
enchanted diamond pick into the lava RIGHT AFTER ANOTHER DOOR LOL THE KARMA HE TROLLED HIMSELF THERE TRYING TO TROLL US WITH THE DIAMOND ORE
“last and definitely least”
the transitions are pretty cool
Episode 404
“you know that disappointment you’re gonna feel with your future kids when they let you down?”
the absolute refusal to change the shape of the gold farm “spaceship”
things he did that blew my mind (that hasn’t been previously mentioned above):
nether portal destination selector (think of the miles of redstone he laid for this to work)
EATS roads
horse elevator
morning / night music
slime jump pads (man was doing ace race 6 years before it was even a thing)
villager fire arrow room (noxcrew please take notes)
guardian particle accelerator
nexus automatic item search!
conveyor belt and then yeeting the blazes (the movements are so funny)
I’ve been watching since he started building the new base in the amplified terrain and man I’m getting so trolled because he hasn’t worked on it for like 100 episodes.
I’m pretty sure Etho died more times setting up the rube goldberg machine than his test villagers did. A true Etho moment right there.
THE FUCKING ANOTHER DOOR JOKE IS KILLING ME. OH MY GOD. ABSOLUTE PEAK COMEDY BUT AT WHAT COST.
Every single door joke gets me DEAD. I bet he must have suffered so hard doing all etho catchphrases; definitely a nightmare scenario where you are mobbed by brainless versions of yourself mindlessly chanting your Top 10 Quotes.
this guy thinks of everything but safety features. increasing those death stats in the most hilariously preventable way possible. literally has an entire village of enchanted armor trades but he won’t wear them because he wants to show his skin BUT HE’S RARELY IN F3 ANYWAYS OUTSIDE THE INTROS AND OUTROS SO WHAT’S THE POINT?!?!! WHY IS HE LIKE THIS?!?!
he will never learn his lesson. iconic.
i’m learning so much about the previous minecraft mechanics. boats really were terrible back then; although the shovel one was pretty interesting. all the farms relying on glitches lol.
the end city magenta and black banners remind me of untextured glitch items. i wonder if that’s deliberate for lore reasons?
ETHO FOR GOD’S SAKE PLEASE GO BUILD YOUR AMPLIFIED BASE IT’S PERFECT FOR THE ELYTRA OH MY GOD.
the hilarity of etho calling flowers “girly stuff” when he used to work in a family greenhouse specifically selling flowers LOL
man was doing terra swoop force probably around the same time noxcrew was working on it. truly a pioneer.
Etho I’m begging you just learn to water bucket mlg I’m dying over here just like you…. he even had a spare hotbar space for ender pearls i can’t even with him
well at least his bed is no longer a stone prison cell with 1 (one) glass block window. he has the entire mancave and yet he has to click through blocks to sleep and mine his way out.
The more I hear about his headset the more I cry. Etho please enable donations again I will personally pay for your new set up my dude.
…HE BUILT THE LAKE WALKWAY AND THE DECKHOUSE BECAUSE HE DIDN’T WANT TO GO DOWN THE LADDER FOR THE FIREWORKS AND HE STILL DIDN’T INSTALL REDSTONE WIRING FROM THE DECKHOUSE FOR THE WORLD TOUR OH MY GOD

the pixel is pretty cool and that story of how the flu shot downloaded evillness into a literally toddler but then was literally beaten out of him LOL. I do like the mini base (or the bunny base as I like to call it). An excellent prospect for secret tunnels. Based on previous experience I doubt he’s going to continue working on it though.
the parrots are actually so cool though. and the llamas are hilarious.
I hate to break it to you but Riza did not fall in love against her will. She found a sopping wet little guy just mumbling about how murder is bad in her backyard and she decided that he was her little guy. And then ten years later she did it again with a dog. She has no shame.
It’s almost as if focusing on eradicating the factors that drive people to addiction, rather than criminalizing the addiction itself, has a better outcome. who would’ve guessed 🤔🤔🤔
OKAY WAIT I HAVE TO ADD SOMETHING.
One of the other consequences is that Lisbon now does have a drug problem… with fake drugs. Seriously. People are hawking flour as ‘cocaine’ and ground bay leaves as ‘hashish’ to tourists on the street. The police have run anti-bay-leaf campaigns, but they can’t arrest these dealers because the items they’re selling are perfectly legal, and technically if a tourist is stupid enough to buy flour and think it’s cocaine, that’s their own fault.

I don’t think Reddit gets enough credit for how hilariously buckwild the subreddit system is.
Like it makes sense on the surface. The subreddits are all topic-focused independent message boards, each with their own moderator teams, and you can curate which ones show up on your feed. Subscribe to the ones that suit your interests and bam you’re good.
Except the question of WHO is in charge of every subreddit is an objectively hilarious system. Anyone can create a subreddit. Under any name. Who holds the keys to the kingdom is strictly determined by whoever managed to camp the name first. It’s like tumblr URL wars except if whoever managed to grab the URL “homestuck” got to be defacto in charge of the entire homestuck fandom.
Or at least they get to be in charge until they anger the populace and get ousted, Julius Caesar style, by the team of fellow moderators they brought aboard, or until they voluntarily sign the deed over because they don’t want to deal with 600,000 angry homestuck fans every single day, or they get mutinied against and all the REAL homestuck fans flock over to “curatedhomestuck” or “homestuckcirclejerk” or “homestuckcirclejerkcirclejerk”.
You get seemingly benign subreddits about things like baking or kittens that have absolutely batshit rules because the whole thing is being run by a paranoid and power-hungry 23-year-old from Arkansas. You get inter-subreddit beef where the mods of r/cutekittensdoingcutethings will ban you from their subreddit because you have a history of posting in r/genshinimpact. You get subreddits that fall to ruin and spam because the moderators in charge vanished into the night without passing power along to anyone else.
Redditors love to complain about Reddit moderators and this surprises me not at all because there is simply no possible way that the Reddit moderation system could be a smooth-running machine when its defining underlying mechanic is First Come First Serve. And that’s hilarious to me. That’s hilarious. Political system where the King is chosen from among the populace of people who comment “first” on Youtube videos. You can’t beat that.
