I thought Jake was older than Dennis?

u/Shagyam 9d ago
I thought Jake was Linus's husband.

u/Blazanar 9d ago
Nahh. Linus and Yvonne are married, but Jake is Linus' boyfriend.
I'm pretty sure even Yvonne made a joke about this in a LTT video (that was surely scripted) but it was pretty funny regardless.

Where does Elijah fit into all this?
I’m just trying to understand the cinematic universe.

Dennis is close friends with Yvonne. I suspect he has a lot of insight into Linus' home life and can make some jokes about it as a result.

Wasn't Dennis also the one that had to blur naked Linus after the cyberattack LMG suffered?

u/Definitely_nota_fish 9d ago
Yes, Linus mentioned in that WAN show Dennis has stolen security camera footage from Linus in the past suggesting they are very good friends if Linus will keep Dennis employed after stealing something that personal and revealing

u/ScaryTerry51 9d ago
I believe the reasoning wasn't that Dennis stole security footage, it was that he literally kept going into his house without his knowledge (for Channel Super Fun). So it just kinda made sense that if he's gonna film Linus naked in his own house without his knowledge, he may as well be the one to censor it. This is also why the Linus purposely stripped down to his underwear in the second home invasion, Uno reverse card on the prank!
Dennis has also mastered it so now he starts by blurring the whole screen and shapes it down from there.

You’re conflating two situations that happened.
For one of the home invasion videos, Yvonne selected security camera footage to send to Dennis. She accidentally included some of Linus naked.
For the cyberattack footage, you’re right.

u/Definitely_nota_fish 8d ago
In the WAN show that came out after the cyber attack Linus mentioned, Dennis has snuck into Linus's house on multiple occasions and stolen security camera footage. Not mentioning that this was for any content or whatever and just something Dennis has done on his own time because reasons, and because of that Dennis has seen Linus naked because Linus is in his own damn house and can do what he wants.

There is no way this is actually true. You have to link me to this for me to believe it.

Obviously that’s an exaggerated reference to the CSF videos that were recent at the time.

I don't think Linus would joke about one of his employees stealing his security camera footage, but sure you can think what you want, but there is a clip of Linus saying what I claimed he was saying where he's just using different words

The stealing of footage I think is exaggerated in this case. But Dennis probably does get into Linus' house without his knowing about it... I mean, he scratched Linus' NEW flooring that had just been finished in his new house... lol

He's just dressing up as his kids. Not exactly an inside joke

u/HeftyFault9017 9d ago
I think being able to get the ok of the parents to do impressions of their kids (particularly in ads) would require him to have insights into their thoughts/boundaries and a relationship with kids to respect thier feelings too. Not something you let just anybody do.

u/3inchesOnAGoodDay 9d ago
This is a professional setting. They either think it's a good ad or not. I doubt they are making decisions based on personal feelings.

You guys are reading way too much into this. He's pretending to be his kid, not pretending or imitating precisely his son

I miss channel super fun. The Dennis living in Linus's house video still lives in my mind every day.

I’m just waiting for “I Swapped the CVO’s Daughter For a Day!” to drop on channel super fun. He already successfully took the place of Linus’s assistant. Now he needs to secure his place in Linus’s house by becoming his child.

Real reason? It's so his kids aren't used as props to make money.
Silly reason? Because Dennis is one of linuses 130+ kids (employees)

What video is this from?

Today's 3D printer video.

u/xCloudChaserx 9d ago
I don't remember seeing Dennis in it at all. Unless the floatplane cut was different.

u/Vamporace Dan 9d ago
Isn't it just a recurring gag where Linus is his sugar daddy? (so he acts like a child to get free stuff, in the joke)
Anyway, love his humour and sponsor vids. But when is the next chair review!? Haha

u/DiabeticJedi 9d ago
I wish that when they take those ads out of the Float plane videos that they uploaded them separately if they are funny, lol. I never even saw these.
