In spite of my intentions, I’m defaulting again to somebody else’s videos rather than our own. Our planned videos were too planned (I promise we’re not that boring in real life), and spontaneous ones are understandably difficult to plan. If we come up with a good one, I’ll be happy to share.
In the meantime, I have a feeling you’ll enjoy the YouTube sensation known as Julian Smith. If you haven’t already met him, you’re in for a treat. We haven’t actually met him either but he makes us laugh regularly. This guy’s videos have literally millions of views, but believe it or not we have a 2nd degree connection to Julian. He went to high school with my husband’s youngest brother, who is getting married in a couple of weeks. Hey, I wonder if Julian will be at the wedding?
I haven’t watched all of his videos, but the worst I’ve seen so far is some mild potty humor and a little implied violence. When I say implied violence, this one comes to mind:
Natalie and Becca brought down the house when they did their own version of this skit for our church’s talent show a few months ago:
His sense of humor is so obvious yet off-the-wall.
Some phrases from Julian’s videos have become a part of our household culture already. That’s an honor usually reserved for Disney, etc.
I thought this one was great, but Perry was slightly less amused. Maybe it struck a little to close to home? Just sayin’.
Have you seen other videos by Julian Smith? Which is your favorite?
My 12 year old daughter LOVES Julian Smith. She even went to his site and got a “Jelly Fish” shirt : )
I’ve pretty much watched ‘em all, and my favorite is probably “Trees Hate You.”
Pretty funny. If you like him, I’ll bet that you would like Jostie Flicks on Youtube. Here’s one video.

Thanks for this, Kim! We’ve watched all the Tim Hawkins and need something new to laugh at
Julian Smith is a favorite in our home! My husband always informs me when he has a new one out! Actually, “Racist Coffee” is one of my favorites, and the clip of the closing song on “Brag Call” is great! We were introduced with “Pre-Blessed Food.” Haha. Love it.
We like him, too. Our phrases we say often.. ‘I made this for you!!’ ‘Get your own iPhone!’ We sing jelly fish jellyfish. Some of my favorites are Expensive Haircut, Moving Out, Handbag & Malk.. Sooo funny! BTW, I met you at McDonald’s in Colleyville, & I still haven’t sent the pics! I will soon, really.
Amanda, thanks for your list of favorites. Handbag is one of my favorites and I forgot to include it!
Loved meeting you and your sister and your 12 collective children.
Oh my goodness, I am laughing so hard right now! (But trying to be quiet, since my husband is sleeping!
My favorite line was: “Helen Keller had a U-Move.” Thanks for sharing these! I had never heard of him before.
No question about it…UMove was my favorite. He is hysterical!
We are always singing “Reading a Book”!
My all time favorite is Confederate Candles! I could watch that one every day.
