I’m excited to see you go independent and get an opportunity to make more diverse videos with more creative freedom, and to have the opportunity to add support. Good luck!

Adam Bryant

Although I've never actually made pepcorn, I love the video and throw it on almost anytime I need a pick me up. Thank you and happy to be here!

Annie K

I just want you to know that since learning about Pepcorn I have made it at least a dozen times, gone through two containers of popcorn kernels, and an uncalculated amount of lao gan ma. Also, I want you to know that *each and every single time* when I pierce the aluminum foil I say "bing bong bing bong bing bong." I will never look back.

Dominique Charbonneau

Hey Brian! Just wanted to pop in and quote your own words back to you to let you know that your videos have helped me way more times than I can count. You inspire me to go after my own weird dreams. Congrats for following your heart, you've got my full support! :)

phi

I remember being happy for you when you got a job at Polygon, and I'm one of many people who enjoy your content and would be happy to support you for it. I can't wait to see more of your creative work! You're a big inspiration to my partner and I, and we're always excited to watch your new uploads :)

Yvonne Chen

Brian you are a national treasure in my book. Hopefully this doesn’t sound too creepy, but I’d be happy to just know that you are doing well

Paul Han

Brian I think you're unusually talented. Having encountered my share of talented people in life - you are something special. I am anxious to know what becomes of you. Good Luck

Teal Briner

So are you going to give us access to the original Castlevania video or...?

Michael Ben Silva III

What gunpla are ya building?

David Ellison

"I hope this is what you want." You were right, BDG, in your last Unraveled. We don't know what we want. Personally, I like your mind, your humor, and the general feeling of "I get to calm down now" I experience when I throw on one of your videos. Do whatever YOU want.

Mike Cavanaugh

I'm really looking forward to you flying solo, Polygon was great, but... been hoping for this for ages. This is the kind of material youtube was made for.

Matthew Hogg

Proud to be here. My wife and I are excited to see what you do next!

Doug Cattie

You are a real treasure, BDG. Love your weirdo energy, it makes me feel confident about my own weirdo energy.

Chelsea Greene

Thanks for doing what you do Brian! You bring us so much joy and we are so excited to be able to support you directly!!

Alice Amsel

Ahoy from Australia! More than happy to give a little bit of $$$ to awesome people making awesome content!

I just wanted you to know that I showed my wife your Old Bay jingle and then she said she didn't get it but then tonight we're having Old Bay with dinner so your Gospel worked. Thank you Seasonmæster Gilbert

Rebekah Bitikofer

Ava Enoch

Your sense of humor really pulls me out of crappy moods, and I hope you keep making content as long as it makes you happy! Also, I already encourage one instrument addiction; I'm happy to encourage another.

Kristopher Varholak

LongIslandSlicedCheese

I was just waiting to see what you're doing next - glad I found out about your Patreon! Thanks for making some of the best videos on the internet, Brian. Can't wait to see what strange and wonderful things you have in store for us.

Ashypie

happy new year's eve ya loveable bastard - take my money, go be free, and make shit you enjoy making ^^

Mansoor Syed

Which gunpla?

Kane Dingo

You could post literally anything and I'd love it tbh

Moe

Why don't you call yourself a "small business owner" instead? Or you can just say fuck it and call yourself an Influencer. (But really I think you should call yourself a Comedian and Musician.)

Joshua Cubbin

My dude, Your wholesome content has been a beacon of hope/weirdness for years. Looking forward to see what you do next. Give it up for the Jorts! (Jorts, Jorts).

Krys Ren

I can’t wait to hear about how you do your hair LMAOOOO

Laura Boylan (Laura47)

1500 of us! woohoo! So excited to see what comes next!

Lady Defondleroy

Congrats on going indie! Your work has meant a lot to me back since Dances Moving! which helped me through a pretty rough time in my life. Stay you, stay radical and keep it sicknasty! (in the figurative sense, please stay healthyclean)

Dean Falletti-Velasco

I am so excited for this next phase and I will sit here and patiently refresh your Patreon page until the new content arrives. I've got plenty of snacks, so take your time.

Carson Ogen

It's time. It's really time. To actually. Get good. At the darts.

NuTemmie

I wish you the best in your creative endeavors ! I absolutely love your videos, and I honestly was just waiting for the chance to give you my money at this point. Thanks for all the incredible videos you have given us this far, and thanks for the incredible videos that are to come.

Zeta

Your work helped me so much during this nightmare of a year, and I'm so excited to see what you'll make next. I'm so glad I can help support it!

Brighton Coggins

You are literally one of my favorite creators out there! I'm so excited that I can hand over my real actual money to you instead of going "I wonder how much money I have personally given Brian by rewatching at least five of his videos a day for the last three years"

Emz

The point of the above ramble is that I, and I am assuming many others because I ain't unique, is that we're suscribing not because we feel entitled to a Whole Lot Of Content on Regular Basis, but because we love what you've done and want to help you do more, in whatever way and timeframe that means.

Emz

Frankly my dude, what you have done and I am confident you will continue to do has brought me a ton of happiness, and that in of itself is worthwhile. Like you could produce literally nothing else, and all would still be lit. (My partner likes to say I judge quality on a basis from bitches to lit and, you are lit.)

Shelley Gorak

Congratulations and good luck on what comes next! Your content in all forms is, without fail, a highlight of my day.

Charlie

I'm so ridiculously proud of you for following your passions and putting art into the world that you care about, keep up the amazing work and thanks for letting us support it.

Eliott

best of luck to you, you'll always be my favorite creator <3

Natalie

Your videos give voice to the weird shit going on in my head that I want to express but would take too long to explain. Watching them is like a mirror in many ways. I guess we all probably see that in our favorite artists. Wishing you the best because you've got this, and glad to see that you're taking the leap!

Zane Muddiman

Congrats on this next step! Excited to see what you come up with next and happy to support whatever it is!

Aantlers

Thrilled to be helping you in your indie quest my dude! Welcome to the unem--er, self-employed club.

Jessie Earl

Congrats! You're a constant inspiration to me and my own creativity, and I'm so excited to see you pursuing your passions. Sending you love, excitement, and money too, because capitalism.

Asher Alexander

I decided to use the quarantine this year to start growing out my hair so this is exactly the kind of content I crave. Very jazzed to see the new video and whatever else you come up with!

Helen Gould

So excited to see what you make! =D Your work is weird and beautiful and I love it very much. The Unravelled episode where you cook all the BOTW food is one of my go-to videos when I'm feeling down. Take care of yourself and good luck!

Winston Sinor

Ooh you're right. Didn't think about the pressure that puts on him

Sean McLeod

I want that hour long lecture on castlevania monsters! No seriously. That clip you shared in your final polygon vid was gold

Winston Sinor

Brian, I absolutely love your stuff. Can't wait to see what you do. I'll be one of your permanent patrons so take your time and have fun with it!!

Brian, you just post whatever you want. We're here for whatever golden nuggets fall out of that brain of yours. You're doing everything this fellow English major wanted to do instead of a boring technical writing desk job.

Fluffywillow

Good shit good shit good shit m'boi

Vincent Van Goth

Congrats on taking a big step toward a new future! It’s scary and uncertain to drop everything that has been consistent for the past several years to pursue your passion but I know it’ll pay off in the end!

Ramona Peel

Can't wait! Thank you for being a bright light in a difficult time. :)

James Boot

Can't wait to see what you create next! Your videos and podcasts have really helped me though a tricky year, thanks for all the laughs 👍

Sammeh

Thank goodness you are still going to be creating! Take my money!

Jas Bevan

whatever you create, i'm sure it's going to be a moment of reprieve for at least one person, and that makes it all worth it hopefully

Pascal Merrick

sooo... full mythology lecture as a patreon exclusive when? (jk. love your content and am very excited to see what you create in the future!)

Kyle Goff-Rascher

Congratulations BDG, what an exciting new adventure. Cool to see your patreon page picked up so much steam quickly!

Gwen Sanger

VERY excited to see where you go from here, Brian! Your esoteric and somewhat existentially terrifying sense of humor is exactly what this world needs, and while I'll miss Unraveled I can honestly say that I am far more excited for some video on, idk, 'I built a fort out of old jazz men paintings and found myself in jazz narnia' or something.

smol

i am really excited for your individual things!!!!! very happy to support you

Rachael Alexander

Amazing!! I’m so glad you’re pursuing your dreams and aspirations the way you think is best for you, and can’t wait for more content! No matter how “good” they are, your videos always bring me joy and make my friends and I laugh (and I’m so glad to be able to support you by becoming a patron now!)

Aarons_Sigh.exe

You have brought me incredible happiness and I can't be more happy then seeing you make things that you really enjoy making! I'm looking forwards to all the new vids and can't wait to see what you come up with! Stay amazing and stay beautiful you great man

Nick L.

You've brought a lot of joy to my friends and I. I'm happy to support you and your future however I can.

Ashacrash

Super excited for you and looking forward to your future work!

Erin V

As some others have already mentioned, we really only watched Polygon videos that had you in them. Happy to support you as you go solo again! Wishing you all the best. 2020 sucks. Here's to making 2021 better!

Tourmaline Faith

Can’t wait to see what you do next!

Stardust Orchard

I'm in my dude. I'm excited to see what you do.

April Teevan

You got this Brian! We’re all here to support your crazy antics- hope you have fun with the process! Here’s to all the possibilities going into 2021! :3

N.Richardson

I arrived here when I clicked on a link asking if I wanted to be my own boss. I supposed I did have computer access and internet access so I thought I'd give it a shot. Please send the spreadsheets.

Legion Ratfell

Happy to be here and so so excited to see what you do!

Knives

Can't wait to see what you do next, and I'm so excited to be here for the ride! Go get 'em, sport!

Jessie Alvarez

Congratulations Brian, this is super exciting! I'll miss Unraveled and all of your Polygon shenanigans, but I can't wait to see what comes next. Dances Moving has been a comfort to me over the past few months, so I'd like to thank you for everything you've made thus far. In regards to your "ha ha, what?" video, did you know there's a landscape design element called a ha-ha? Just in case a sequel is in the works... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ha-ha Anyway, here's to the future!!

Matthew Wilson

Absolute support my friend. I'm glad to see you doing what YOU want to do, and I think I speak for a lot of people, we are here to support you and watch your AMAZING content

Leigh Hile

Congratulations, and I'm so excited for this move! I delighted in every single Unraveled, despite the fact that the last time I played a video game it was literally 1997, but was always secretly sad your creativity was so limited. I cannot wait to see what you do next! Signed, A fan since I randomly followed a link to "BUY MY BED!" and went down a BDG rabbit hole from whence I never will return.

Scootzz

Couldn't be more excited to support! I saw the final unraveled and thought: "oh no, this means less BDG". But now there's this so it's actually more BDG! And thats exactly what we all need right now and is totally healthy and oh dear god what if more exposure isn't the answer and this is just the beginning of a terrible fate awaiting us all and- wait did you say hair video heck yes

AJ Jaegli

Wah it was 200 people last I saw now 900 :O

A.Z. Madonna

You know, I've had a feeling for a while that we'd be seeing you ascend to the next rank on whatever bizarre echeladder you're climbing. Glad to be along for the ride. Excelsior.

Tina Carter

After you released “EARN 20K A MONTH”, I tweeted that I can’t wait for the day you make a full-length horror film because that shit would surely slap - I don’t know what your next projects are, but I’m excited for whatever they are! Super happy to support you in making what you want to make! Don’t mind my deleted post, I messed up...

Giggleloop

I was already hype because LMAM came back, and now I'm even more hype about what you're going to do here. I've loved your Polygon videos & streams, & I know you'll keep doing awesome things. 👍

Rebecca Emily

Brian, I'm excited to see what you will come up with! And I have full trust that it will be enjoyable and make me happy just like your polygon videos and youtube videos do :)

Colin

Thanks for the welcome! I've always loved your work, so I'm super excited to see what you do next. Also, I am really hyped for this "Here's how I do my hair" because my Covid hair is out of control and I have no idea what to do with it.

Dan Fiscus

Brian, I've been a fan of yours since well before the Polygon days, and I fully intend to be one for a long time to come. It's sad to see Unraveled come to an end, but I'm excited to see what the future holds for you as a creator. I hope we get to see a variety of content on the channel!

Meg Rae

I had to immediately pledge to your patreon and I'm glad you're getting so much support! Cannot wait to see what you show/teach/terrorize with us next!

Ellie Hall

looking forward to following your new creations! your videos have helped me a lot and i always enjoy your content

Serena G

Been watching since Dances Moving and loved your Polygon journey! Your videos have got me through some really really hard times - no exaggeration. So excited to see what you do next. Best of luck & all the love

Dan Foster

Looking forward to whatever is coming!

SaintLikeBehaviour

I'm so excited for you, and excited to see all the wonderful weird you come up with.

cowgirl-renegade

I am SO EXCITED. Partly because I desperately need to know how you do your hair, but also just for more BDG content.

Alice

I cannot wait!!

chakeey m

So excited to follow your journey 🥰

Lindsay Ishihiro

Don't be weird.

Lauren Estes

I’m so stoked for you Brian!!! 😁💖

Nathan Mohling

"I hope this is what you want." Yes, a picture of you in the shower is exactly what I want.

Josh Brown

Words of encouragement!! Me giving you money!! Praise!! Affection!! Proud feelings! Jort wuv!!!!!

Doug Wills

If you haven't seen that bonkers breakdown of your $20K video, it's incredible. Would love to know how much of that is accurate! Especially some of the connections people made to previous videos!!! And good luck!

Garrett Joseph Simon

Very excited for what the future has in store for you! I'm happy to be a long for the ride and to support you while doing so!

Jeeves

Oh, question about that! When you pledge does it specify if the livestream is available to view after the fact? Totally would wanna support at that tier but no point if time-zones mean I'll always miss the stream.

spooky

Really excited for this, you're my favorite online content creator and I'm super happy I can support you directly. Looking forward to everything you do in the future!

Jeeves

Really excited to see what you're gonna be making! <3

Jimbleshanks

So glad to be able to support all the beauty that you create!

CometMoth

Can’t wait for the music dump :) also PLEASE TEACH ME YOUR HAIR SECRETS

Daja Vu

So stoked that you're going indie again!!

Dylan Harrison

The only reason I watched your Polygon videos was to get more of your content since you slowed down on your channel (I did end up falling in love with those videos anyway) so this is very exciting for me! I've watched 20k like five times.

as if I wasn't going to be a damn jorts enthusiast.

Kane Dingo

I love weird shit take my money

Stephen Struble

Happy to support a content creator that has brought me more joy that I can quantify during these strange times.

Tilley!

Your videos and songs always bring me joy (and sometimes existential fear)— can’t see what you make now that you’re going indie again!

Tyler Warner

At Polygon or on your own, your content has been a constant source of humor, creativity, and positivity! I can’t wait to see what the future holds! Happy to be able to support!!

Maxie ≈w≈

As the Phoenix lies down in the ash of its birth it only fuels it's desire to be reborn. -by me right now because I'm happy

Alexis Simonow

Well isn't this neat.

John Michael Oravec

2020 has been the worst year on record, so when you said you were leaving Polygon I thought that all content would cease to happen. I am thrilled to support you in this way, and hope that 2021 brings a new era of top quality content!

0SharkGuy

While this is one chapter in the saga of BDG that I'm sad to see end, I'm also equally excited to see what comes next!!! Much love!

doobins

hey braim good job

Viniter

I totally understand the anxiety about posting something as soon as possible, but please, don't feel pressured! Last thing we want is for you to burn out. Take your time, I'm sure there's a lot of cool (and weird) stuff coming our way.

Kyle Rudy

I'm stoked to learn that safety fan and bureaucratic wunderkind Brian Gilbert showers with his jeans on, as mandated by safety law. The rest of the video will be fine, too, I suppose.

THE Jordan Blahnik

Raphael, Da Vinci, and Michelangelo had patrons, so in this way I am very much a long-lost Medici! Thank you for this exciting opportunity!

coffee johnson

excited to see what's in store!!!! one of my favourite creators right now

Richard Doubek

So excited for this new content! Was devastated to hear the end of Unraveled, but so excited to see what you produce now! Also, my hair is getting long and I need pointers.

Giu Alonso

Hey man! So happy to join and give you a (small) help if I can. Can't wait to see your luxurious hair routine. I hope it includes Dove products. Happy Gunpling!

Anna Heavens

I totally feel the anxiety of making your next step, but remember we are here to support you not just leech content from you - so go wild! Also, may I suggest freelancer as another bougie term to use around family to confuse them?

Ashe

You know I was just talking to a friend this weekend about how we love the way you blend surreal comedy and horror together. I hope to see more projects like that, you’re just so good at it! But whatever you do, I’m sure it’s going to be great 😄 Enjoy building your gunpla!

Jennifer Mileta

So exciting!! We love your content in our family and can't wait to see what you have in store!

William Borusiewicz

Brian! My hair is getting real long amd you're my long hair inspiration so this is gonna be so helpful! Super excited

Daina

I really enjoy your content and am glad I can support you directly!

Sara

I’m so excited to see what you make next! Also potentially to get my hands on a copy of that Saturday Shorts song, I get it stuck in my head all the time (in a good way)

Well-Spoken Rambler

Seems normal enough! It sounds like you've got your priorities in check (gunpla >>>> all else) and we're all looking forward to what the future holds! Best wishes.
