Pat Gill - Blog Posts
rbing to add:
- Bri’s old youtube channel, PlasmaP, which has some fantastic and beautiful solo songs (my favorite is the humble knight but disclaimer is also a BOP)
- Pat and Bri’s shortish eight-episode series Brian’s First Half-Life which includes Brian doing his best to play video games and conversations about things ranging from food crimes they’d commit to Woodstock to bee guns. There’s also some bonus Smash Bros content where you can watch them come up with increasingly dumb Smash Bros loadouts (pinball, anyone?
- The E3 testing streams where you can watch Pat insult an AirBnB, Brian sprint around a pitch-black California suburban neighborhood after having Escaped His Confinement, and Tara talk about feet. This is not a joke.
bdg content that isn't unraveled
ALRIGHT
we all know and love polygon’s unraveled series, but you know what else deserves attention? brian david gilbert’s original content!! ive seen people recommend different shows and things that he’s done replying to other posts but haven’t seen a masterlist of everywhere you can find his stuff, so here it is (including links!) :
HIS PERSONAL CHANNEL
a collection of mostly short surreal humor videos with a couple series thrown in for spice.
my personal favorites: how to make jorts, the series Dances Moving (only a ~25 minute series but a true gesamtkunstwerk that will punch you in the gut), and Bri and Jo’s Tryin’ Show (aka what evolved into lmam a few years later. if you look in the descriptions after episode two, you’ll find the link to the full streams!!)
LET’S MAKE A MUSIC
a wonderful series of 30-minute comedy podcasts where Brian, his sister Laura Kathryn Gilbert, and their roommate Jonah Scott take suggestions from twitter users and use them to a write a new song every week! they’re currently on a hiatus (might be coming back at some point?) but there are 41 episodes to feed the content hunger
my personal favorite episodes: Thankstaking with Mr. Dad (2), Smooth as Wax (5), and Horsecar (34). find their music here on bandcamp where you can download the songs for $1 each or $5 for an album to support them
THE ALTOGETHER
a band consisting of bdg, Jonah Scott, and Jonah’s sister Sierra. they recently leaked that they’re releasing an LP soon and ive been thinking about it for days. find their music on youtube (linked above) or spotify. im listening to them while putting together this very long post
my personal favorite songs: Follow Through, Clean Slates State, and Let’s Be Realistic. also every single other song
LESSER KNOWN POLYGON SHOWS
this is last because it’s not necessarily his own content, but content that still deserves attention
Gill & Gilbert: a variety show (sort of) about video games (vaguely) where bdg and Patrick Gill play video games with weird challenges (like having to carry each other when they climb on a colossus in Shadow of the Colossus, or piling bananas on their shoulders while playing Donkey Kong). probably my favorite thing on youtube right now
my personal favorite episodes: the two I just mentioned and cucco nugget feast, though I would recommend watching this in order. they develop a lot of running jokes that are more way fun if you’ve seen it all
Week in Revue: I think one of the first things Brian did for polygon where he rapped/sang about video game news. like most polygon shows, it evolves into a psychological horror. this one I would recommend watching in order as well
Good Cheap Games: only four episodes long but very interesting videos mostly about his thoughts on indie games. a very weird experience as he is outside in one episode, a place I didnt know he was aware of. not listing favorites because there are only four episodes, watch them all
I think that’s everything I know about but if you have anything else, please feel free to add on!
Someone asked for the rest of the crew and in honor of new episode soon, here is my favorite himbo in the entire world
pat gill images that make me feel something
unraveled gays reblog with your favorite moment from the perfect pokerap. im curious
my classmates spouting shit about how our racist ass team name shouldn’t be changed and then turning to me in an effort to get the speech and debate kid to back them up
I fuckin. I KNOW there’s a good meme that could be made for this image but I just. cannot think of one. I can’t think of anything funnier than this picture of pat gill without context
favorite moments of pat gill:
- the bit in s2 here he’s got bananas on his shoulders and attempts to say that he has 3 bananas on his shoulders in spanish but instead it comes out as “three apples- in my crow? in my ass”
i’m a serious artist
I text my friends about Polygon an awful lot.

Favorite Quotes from this month’s Overboard:
“Hurt me.” - Clayton Ashley
“We will have peace when your people are dead.” - Patrick “then Perish” Gill
“You’re my work wife! …Bitch!” - Simone de Rochefort
“When you say my last name, it hurts extra bad.” - Patrick Gill
“Which of you only tells truth and which one of you only tells lies?” - Patrick Gill
“No, my brain will explode if I touch this.” - Simone de Rochefort

I also loved Brian dragging Jenna to victory just to spite Clayton.
→ id: Six gifs of Patrick Gill. He is thin and pale with chin-length dark brown hair and circular glasses. He is wearing a black graphic tee and sitting on a couch with a microphone in front of him. In the gifs, he fusses with his hair, pushing it back, deliberately messing it up, and finally pulling back the top half and smiling.

You didn't have to do it to him, Abby.

hi! I keep hearing ppl mention Kendra posting pat pics, but I don't know what her insta is. is she ok with fan following her, and if yes do you have her @?
Kendra posts about Pat on both Twitter and Instagram (and apparently their patreon, but I don't have access to that rn). Their insta is kendrawcandraw and so is their twitter. They post a lot of instagram stories with Pat and it's extremely cute imo, the other day they posted an adorable sketch of Pat that I didn't save because I'm dumb.
until the very last line of this i thought this was about the great gatsby and i was Supremely Confused
Y’know that bit from Gil and Gilbert where Pat just picks Brian up and holds him over his shoulder for a good three minutes and when he puts him down somehow Brian is the winded one? Daisy and Jon
