YouTube Viewer comment: "Bill Wurtz introduces us to a guy named "Steve", a jolly and playful dude. His name is pretty ordinary and the first things he says are kinda absurd and funny, “I drive a car, it’s in a tree”. However, he soon tells us that his real name’s not Steve. This already shows us how unknowable we all are, hidden behind our masks and our fake identities. Steve may look like a rebel. He doesn’t want to pay his taxes and has a blue mohawk, but he's just running away from his responsibilities, like we all often do. Bill Wurtz is basically telling us that you or I could be Steve. Then, the jingle. We see that, despite everything, Steve is chill and feels “like everything’s gonna be fine”. The next day, we see him procrastinating. He stands on a chair that’s on a table. The room is pitch black, maybe just like his soul. Also notice how time seems distorted here, look at the clock on the wall, one of the 2 hands now looks wavy. Steve’s running away from his responsibilities again. He says that he’s skipping work, but he soon admits that he doesn’t have a job. Steve is an outcast, trying to avoid almost every social contact. The only way he's got to keep in touch with society is through mails. In fact, he says that the mailman is late, so we assume that he’s waiting for him. Here, again, there’s another misunderstood identity. The mailman is actually a woman. She sings almost the same jingle as Steve. She is sure that “everything’s gonna be just fine”, but we’ll see that she’ll lose her job, as a bird (and not her) will deliver the mail later in the video. Suddenly, the mountains. Steve tells us that the mountains all around his house have always been there, although he doesn’t know why. Yet, they’re there. The mountains represent everything we intentionally avoid (e.g. society, life difficulties, tough exams, etc.), they're something that we feel we can’t overcome. Yet, we can. Steve successfully climbs the mountains and starts singing, but the bird interrupts him to deliver the mail. We understand that the mailwoman’s been fired. She had shown too much pride, she was too sure that problems couldn’t exist in her life. Now Steve reads the mail. In the mail, he is asked how he has climbed the mountain, aka how he has overcome his life difficulties. He is glad to answer, ‘cause now the worst is over and everything looks easier, as he says that he has just found the mountain (and note the singular, ‘cause he has probably just faced only one of his life problems), and climbed “the thing”. It’s easy now that it’s done, but he will never tell us how he did that. Unfortunately, Steve has no time to enjoy his happy moment, as it starts raining. The rain clearly represents new incoming troubles. It seems to stay for 5 days, but we soon see that the weather forecast says that it will always rain. Forever. And here is where Steve tells us "bye" and reaffirms his "fake" identity. Bill Wurtz makes us painfully aware that, when it comes to troubles, we always foolishly tend to think that, sooner or later, they will pass. But no. Bill Wurtz tells us that this sort of coping mechanism is nothing but a mere illusion. Difficulties are always there. We just have to learn to acknowledge they exist and go on. In conclusion, what Bill Wurtz is trying to tell us is that life is full of pain, yet, with a simile on our faces, a funny jingle in our heads, and a little bit of courage, we truly can face it all. Bill Wurtz turns pessimism into optimism. He makes us smile and also makes us realize how wonderful and precious our lives truly are."
