Davis Clarke (Part 1/3) - Meeting Davis

jesse frank

This guys definitely on the spectrum 💯 nobody talks about shiting their pants like its a normal thing if they aren’t down with the syndrome.

Bryan Bryce

Lots of envy in these comments.

Joe

Knocking the empty offices as a journalist seems weird. But hey, pander if you gotta

Richard Bateman

I don't judge people on if they're positive or not. Being positive is not objectively a good quality. Imagine how you'd feel as a slave working next to a guy who kept going on about how great it was, and trying to outwork everyone else. I judge people on if they're good, and he is working firmly on the side of evil, even if he has a stupid grin on his face the whole time.

FartKnocker69

Man...this is dark

kh

so he shat himself while running a marathon? lmao

Mikael Frykman

Omg I fucking hate americans. And love them. What the fuck is going on over there....

Robert Cappotto

So, before this video got to the point where it was talking about all the bad comments he received, I had already decided I love this guy and wished he was my personal trainer.

Larry Jeans

Dudes an accidental psy op

Tronkilonk

He may be a corporate suck up, but at least he’s happy

Tanner

Man didn't say one negative statement and you labeled him as "A horrible, craven creature, to be pitied and despised." I can't imagine what regard you have for a person with less positivity.

Zackary Bourdeau-Pouplier

yeah dude

Brian Kirz

You're wrong and he's happy

Flynn Willcott

Urself*

Flynn Willcott

Fu u du! Check it out itself

Gaius

Dude isn’t just the face of capitalism, dude IS capitalism

Richard Bateman

yuck

Richard Bateman

The guy is awkward and "nice" on a surface level, which makes people sympathise with him. However, what he is spouting is pure rise and grind, hustle culture, manosphere, hyper-capitalist, individualist, positivity bullshit. He is a capitalist wet dream, someone who has fully replaced any critical thinking faculties with a love of bootlicking. A horrible, craven creature, to be pitied and despised.

Surfecki

I'm not a fan of corpo, I kinda hate that evil shit but that doesn't matter tho. This guy is cool af. He positive, he has good values, he loves life, more power to him, I hope he is real

Gabe Martinico

Man I hated him, then I felt sorry for him. And now I'm just fuckin confused. This dude's a cia asset right?

Joel Margolis

i fuckin love this guy

John Rivers

Lil gayj

sockebi

yea I agree this dude is channel 5 energy

Noah Shapiro

I do not respect this man.

Matthew B.

The answer you're looking for is in the book Burnout Society by Byung Chul Han.

Felix Baum

this monster fed sold me baby laxative and told me it was coke. 0 stars. NOT locked in.

C Yost

I am trying to figure out why this guy bothers me so much. It's confusing. I want to say it's toxic positivity but I think he seems like a nice enough guy. Shaming people for not being at the office when they aren't mandated to be there is a shitty look though.

Zane Wright

This comment section is so polarized - sign of a great Channel 5 vid. Nice work guys

010100010101010

what an absolute dick

Bailey Jennings

The real ones know ^

Levi Anthony

You were probably just hardcoding Mondays and Friday. Gotta lock in and hammer some spreadsheets.

Levi Anthony

😤🙏💯🔒

Lil jonj

dam u love to complain. Low life type shit

Splinks

It's like if South Park's PC Principal had a positive jocky son

Ian Wilder

We need more positivity. This guys cool in my book.

Jake

nah davis clarke is the perfect person to be on channel 5

Channing C.

I fuck with this dude. When you have employees who are literally grown men with the most dysfunctional Jerry Springer ass lives and shitty attitudes to match, this dude is breath of fresh air. I could get use to the chirpiness.

lil' Stitch

This channel has lost the plot.

BoS1997

This is the most annoying man I've ever seen

DCSHYT

These were to short!! Ppl with energy like this guy are inspirational bcuz wether he’s just blind to the fuckery or not.. he is motivated and happiness is the fuel of life

Evan Andrews

Who knew a Chad could provide such incredible business insights, not only internally but also by considering the overall economic and workforce environments. Sure, he went a little into the alpha male routine, but I almost got whiplash from how quickly it jerked back around to the fundamentals of business, current work culture, and what it means to have a successful company or corporation that values the culture of its employees. TBH I might start incorporating dance parties in meetings, but you can't do that until you establish the right culture or else it's forced and people who already don't want to be there are instructed to have fun and participate out of context which comes off the wrong way.

Evan Andrews

I'm going to post a second comment about this but the dude has extremely good business points and an understanding of the bigger picture economy. And yeah, to Eamon's point, that's just Sidam's style baby haha

Eamon Mulholland

You new here? Sidam always wears the hood. It’s part of the brand at this point, but also I imagine a conscious choice to protect his identity so people don’t recognize him in person as much. As for the point of the video, I think it’s clearly a profile of an interesting/eccentric character and some commentary on the social forces that helped create or sustain them… so pretty much what this channel has been doing all along.

Dirty Larry

I just watched this as I make my once a week mandated commute from NJ to NYC. Didn’t change my mind at all. I appreciate the positivity though.

David Pattinson

I don't get this video at all & I'm definitely "not Locked In. And why is the bloke wearing a hood ???!!!.

trythinking

....but what exactly....is it..that..ya DO here..???

SuperMax

This is precisely what I was thinking, too.

Anant Chaturvedi

This is what my office exactly looks like in New Delhi. I feel like the colours inside make me a more relaxed and productive person.

Daniel

Cant tell if shitting your pants and then pullin out your phone to record yourself is crazy or based

phil

idk man - wouldn't true corp warriors still be running on excel 2016

Andrew Matson

The repeated phrases are too much. When I am "locked in" it sure isn't at work. Life is way too short to love working as much as Davis. I imagine he is a great dude but maybe not my speed.

thehappiestcollie

Shit, bro. Gotta drop that index(match) and get on the xlookup

Brandon Cronan

After watching this I have a serious urge to go to work, and that's not like me.

Brandon Cronan

Peter Parker dude this guy is the Spider-Man of the corporate world. Ultra goody guy who would never harm a fly. You two would get along.

Robert Miller

Michael Scott?

Nathaniel Murphy

The remaining 2 parts will be released before the month is up, and you don’t have to throw a fit about feeling like you got duped over $5. This entire business model is based on people feeling like they got what they paid for, he isn’t risking this community over a few new people. I’d rather pay $15 than see that (@ ANDREW)

Samson Large

I think this is exactly what happened. You see a lot of people like this seriously on LinkedIn and I feel like this is almost like a deep level satire

Nathan MacDonald

<3

Gabe

He has a direct investment in workers returning to the office. (More people to talk to)

Burt

LOCKED IN. HAMMER IT.

Esoterik

absolutely locked in for part 2 lets go baby

Ty B

cant wait for part 2 on this keep it up

isaac

That’s what I’m saying.. if I’d known, I wouldn’t have paid and I’d be on Youtube hating but now I’m here what do I do

Joe Sak

Interesting that he suddenly had a litany of op-ed style talking points about “return to the office” politics

Lil jonj

ur last name terrifying

Lil jonj

ppp boiz

Lil jonj

that means. We getting 2mo boi come on

Lil jonj

Part 1outta3 bud dont pay to hate thats for YouTubes community

Lil jonj

Nelk boy lost member?

LT

Does anyone think he’s playing a character? Like it started as a joke and then just took off

Little River Lantz

Living embodiment of Jared Dunn and Russ hanneman

Jacquelin Lawson

Davis is so inspiring! this kind of positivity is good for all of us <3

Jonathan Corey

Expert level journalism.

Kevin McDonald

Kodak Black - Water

Cory Campbell

Let’s go we get to lock in today

Liam

Ladies and Gentlemen, future President of the United States of America, Davis Clarke!

isaac

This is like 3 minutes more than what's on youtube, not the full documentary. I feel like I got duped

wachi

I feel like I know so much yet so little about this guy at the same time

Aaron Hess

A walking inspirational tik tok. I'm LITERALLY cringing.

Kerkko Sariola

He reminds me of Fulcrum, if he sobered up

illethic

He could be entertaining to be around, when he's not trying to get me up at 4:30 to work out.

Richard Carroll

Yeah he's an odd combo, genuine and positive, good, money driven capticalist fanboy, bad. I honestly think he's the oddest person to ever be on a channel 5 doc. And I know thats a bold claim.

Brett Jones

Yeah I get that. I have to love the dude based on his enthusiasm alone. Gotta hammer those Excel spreadsheets!

illethic

I can't tell if I hate the guy or love the guy. Or if it says something about me...or, it's just a great video. Prolly the last one.

Taylor Korthals

I’m having a rough time getting locked on

Ethan Hogen

You probably should've locked in

Sean Pool

This dude is the MAN!

Dutch Oven

Cannot agree more

Brian Shoemaker

lol I love this guy

Devon

Locked the fuck in

Nathan MacDonald

as a tech bro, this shit is equal parts inspiring and terrifying

Pwhy

Homie got the corpo-tism. Dem office boyz

John Rivers

You keep saying full documentary on Patreon but I only see part 1?

Not Welcome

This guy fucks

EZ Pete

massachusetts mentioned 😤🦞🔥🔒⬇️

Squidfish

Tism.

Adam

We need a Davis x Elliot army mash up

Jack Press

Massachusetts residents love to go to the office

Matthew Chong

Locked in boys.

Grangus

This dude is high on the MS office suite

max b

the very end of this episode displayed that imo

Narthaniel

I had no idea who this man was, but to be honest he doesn’t seem like a bad dude at all. I’m definitely not one to buy into the “grind” mentality, but some people love that shit and I won’t dog on him for doing what he seemingly enjoys.

Sam Beery

One must imagine Sisyphus absolutely locked the fuck in let's go

Stinkbug

As soon as this guy learns that xlookup() exists as a strictly better Index(Match()), the economy of New England is gonna triple

Aidan

Sidam and Davis dancing together is the type of human interaction that god intended when he made us

Aidan

Top 10 collabs of all time

GromBTW

You live a sad life

Mon Non

JESUS!!! He look just like P.C. Principal in south park!!

Trent Walter

He reminds me of pc principal

Matt Ruetman

He’s probably a super nice guy. Would be a good neighbor or friend.

Matt Ruetman

This is why America will always be a top economy. We have excel influencers lol.

Jeremy Dolan

the characters on channel5 are amazing, I've been confused by this guy for months

PeterSParker

This dude is right. I hate him. But, that's gonna make him successful. I wanna be clear, I love his success, really I do. I love that he's getting it. But please do not get me wrong. I hate him. If I had to spend a day with him, I would spend money not to.

JimmyJakeJackJohnson

Dude, i'm totally locked into what he's saying. The idea that even "going to the office" is an economical microcosm where people spend money on transportation, restaurants, vending machines, etc, and that stimulates that region of a city or town is kind of a cool way of looking at things. Less individualism, more community focussed even in a big city where one doesn't expect there to be community.

Bussy

If you can find meaning in an excel sheet you are properly Locked In to your schizophrenia

Carson Tazuk

Dude's finna learn you can't trust a fart before he learns you can't trust a corporation.

Matthew Bass

Giving us such amazing tips, motivation to get through life and most importantly getting me LOCKED IN.

Matthew Bass

Man I can’t stand this guy

jacksondev

your not locked in

ulua

Davis "Davis Clarke" Clarke

honky

you're just not absolutely locked in, Frankie.

Frankie Quadrelli

etherz .

ready to hammer out a spreadsheet like I never have before --because I haven't, but damn am I ready

GT Maztec

Honestly its good to see someone so positive and motivated. Not a fan of the office at all, but if someone is able to find meaning in their work I'm all for it

chipz

this is incane

Biff

Agreed. And may I add, if your own mental playbacks don't make you cringe, are you even alive? Get out there and be cringe! LETS GO! <3

ted

dude rules

J S

I think there is something wrong with him .... like neurodivergent / autistic / brain damage. Seriously. This is so weird. I kept thinking that any minute he would change up the dumbdumb talk into something much more interesting. I Don't want to see more of this, but if Andrew went to the effort to make and publish it, there must be gold coming.

Christopher Guerra

I'm happy I'm more locked in than before

Erik Duethman

Sidam got married?

Jacob Farmos

MVP MVP 🍻 lay off Mahomes

Taylor Korthals

Hell ya brother!

Snarpsta

Bro no. Absolutely not

Cory

Gotta go create some shareholder value!

David Kay

ur a fucking loser

Snarpsta

Got it fixed. Just force stopped the app and cleared cache 🤘

Cory

Check if you're on the same wifi. It worked for me

Jackson

locked in.

Barry

He has good bro energy tbh. He seems just trying to encourage everyone to do the best with the current system that we have. Its not a perfect system but it could always be a lot worse.

Snarpsta

Any reason I can't cast this to my TV as usual?

Jeremy

I appreciate his message. It’s cringe but comes from a good place.

Andrew Jones

despite my best efforts, i kinda found this dude a little inspiring. I didn't want to but it happened.

EB6

this doc changed my life- where is part 2 and 3?

Taylor Korthals

Honestly i just kept thinking "what a looser"

S H

Lmaooooo that was my comment

Flare

what is the sidam theme song

SteakHouseManager

That looks like blood in his shit.

Cory

He's Subway from Community

Cory

It was the early giveaway that he isn't what he claims to be

Eli

The legend himself

Rubs 01

Capitalism's Ideal Citizen

Darian Aghily

Struck gold once again

Cory

I bet in ten years he will either be completely burnt out or running for congress.

James Stevens

The Skyrim music is killing meeee

Cory

He can still be in character

Lee Whalen

I have listened to three sentences coming out of dudebro's mouth, and I can already tell he rates Windex by vintage.

Sacha Devoretz

As someone who worked in a corporate office for 10 years, I would rather have my finger nails ripped off one by one, than ever have to report to an office ever again. My time in the office was oppressive, stressful and ick, with a capital Ick.

Flynn Willcott

Yo channel 5 pls check out my mates you tube @reedy1h38

EYE

please have a dark past please have a dark past please have a dark past

Josh Sperling

Wow I fully thought he was doing a bit until watching this

Austin Paine

I love this guys positive attitude and outlook but goddamn do I hate what he's advocating for.

Jules P

The most enthusiastic capitalism apologist?

GW

Thats what I thought at first too, but I genuinely think this is him 😂

Joe Netti

Fucking amazing

Aiden

yall need to get a tripod

Nicolas Amatullo

Davis Clarke is genuinely such a legend

Smooches Produces

Daddy Sidam

Brandon Lee

damn people like this actually exist

Aaron Tracy

Wow, now I think I understand why some of the people I know talk the way they do!

Connor Slocum

Stud

Lucas Harmon

If only I could create shareholder value in my sleep

Andrew Ramos

At first I was like wtf am I watching. Then I realized this man is a legend

rkdnc

I wasn't prepared for the heel turn with the insults. He seems like a nice guy, though I can absolutely see why he's getting dunked on

Liam Kelly

I can’t actually believe he believes it, but he sells it so thoroughly that I almost have no other choice.

Andreas

Last bit makes him seem like emphatic person

Edwe1rd

I like him but it’s a bit

Zachary Grime

LETS GET THE OTHER PARTS I NEED MORE OF DAVIS

Oakoka

This feels like a parody, it has to be right? I can't tell haha.

Kyle Phelps

I feel conflicted with this dude. His positive attitude is rad but why do I wanna punch him in the face?

Thomas LaHorgue

great point other Tom. I feel like Davis has a true villain origin story. hopefully they uncover whatever that is in the next 2 segments

Daniel Robert Blackburn

people always sleeping on xlookup

ER R

We're gonna be totally locked in after watching this.

Tom Haraden

Ok - but what's his real story?

DW

I'm struggling as well. Probably because I do this sort of stuff for work. I paused after 4 minutes, now going to lock into some spreadsheets, then watch 5 more minutes, take quick run and/or poop my pants, then finish the video and finally study for my next certification

Kian

I’ve never been more locked in

Danny Canales

I just see tom brady if he was born 20 years later

Marc Singer

lmao the dancing

DW

I'm locked in to the index match

KC

this guy fuckin sucks

Ewan Mennie

LOCKED IN this is great

KC

also ive never shit my pants but im not locked in either

Miranda

“Sometimes you have to make poop decisions” 💁🏼‍♀️

Bruce Deal

Davis would use index match instead of xlookup

Stephen Gibson Jr

Alittle too locked in

Em and Jo Talk

"sometimes you shit yourself when running" this bit is beyond underrated 🤣

Baba Singh

This is probably the hardest Ch5 episode to watch ever. I'm trying to hold my lunch down. Boxer's tunnel tacos would go down better. Wtf

Stephen Gibson Jr

Gotta get locked in

HeyRooster

I knew I recognized him from somewhere.

KC

he's capitalism's pc principal

Bv

Reminds me of Krazam

Xam

LOCKED TF IN

Crawford Pierce

Locking in to this right now. Let's go!

Dylan Dixon

pc principal

joey barker

He instantly reminded me of PC principle from Southpark 😂

Jonathon Angell

This man's mouth makes me deeply uncomfortable.

Chris

Mason Mundy
