    Big thanks to Ridge for sending me this wallet and supporting the channel! Here’s the site if you want to check them out! ridge.com/WENDIGOON

    My guy Dante really just made the first ever tier list
  • @julesvillega
    Dante: is in literal hell Also Dante: Damn... well... at least we're not in Pisa.
  • @Halloweenish
    Dante: “I can excuse murder, but I draw the line at homosexuality.” The Church: “You can excuse murder?”
  • @ryankelly7070
    I can't lie, Satan being a 3-headed mountain sized monster chewing on the 3 biggest sinners of all time has got to be the best character design I've ever seen.
  • @Mistheart101
    If you keep dunking on Dante's writing like this, he's gonna put you in the turbo layer of Hell when he writes Dante's Inferno 2, man.
  • Dante: “I said whoever threw that paper, your moms in hell!”
  • @teenycrow
    The actual reason lust wasn't a deeper circle of hell is because of all the lust he felt for vergil.
  • @iminyourwallz420
    My boy Dante really woke up one day and decided to write the first ever fanfic in human history, and everyone to this day is still fine with that
  • @emmess6419
    Dante when people are being burned alive: I sleep 😴 Dante when people are walking backwards: real shit 👁👁
  • @LotusDecember
    dante: sitting in his house writing his little fanfiction dante's landlord: aye man, rent's due dante: >:( I'll show you
  • @NephiylusBaphson
    I don't know how accurate it is to call the Divine Comedy a self-insert fanfic but it certainly feels like it
  • @bigbutt5647
    I love how he put debt collectors deeper than literally Attila the Hun, like you know he had some landlord he HAAAAATEDDDDD
  • @Unknown-xi6bk
    The idea of Dante having a personal experience with tax collectors and aggressively writing them into the deeper parts of hell in his fanfic makes me laugh
  • @PanzerMan332
    "That's why yo shoes raggedy." Dante: "That's why yo mama in Hell." vine boom sound
  • @torivega310
    i like how Dante amd Vergil's characters treat the literal hell with horrors beyond comprehension like a safari trip like, Vergil saw guys who got turned into trees with their former human bodies hanging on the branches of their new bodies and told Dante to literally break off one of those guys' limb like a stupid "heya pull my finger" type of prank
  • @kitorasohma4512
    The idea of human traffickers being forced to take part in an endless Pacer Fitness Test is truly wonderful
  • @4dkarma486
    Minotaur: appears Virgil: yo shoes raggedy. Minotaur: has seizure
  • @FruityCatRing
    I swear Dante is that one kid you accidentally pushed in line and he kept threatening to get you back. So a few years later, he puts you in the 9th circle of hell in his poem.
  • @isthisfake.
    this entire video makes me laugh no matter how many times i watch. dante laying on his bed with his pen, angrily writing, "and this stupid dumb idiot who called me ugly is now burning in hell. also virgil loves me and thinks im awesome and hot and muscular"
