The EVIL Truth About Welcome Home! | Welcome Home Update

“I am very concerned about all the food stuff going on with this tree,” says the guy who made three videos about eating his Christmas tree.

Matpat saying he'll try to limit commentary and then going on a cereal tangent 42 seconds into the Welcome Home video 😂 gotta love it 😂

The vibe I got was that 1) Eddie was told he was happy 2) He realized he wasn't happy 3) Home didn't like that he realized he didn't agree with the narrative 4) Home took over Eddie to make him conform It's also worth noting that Eddie's first person POV is animated, while Wally's has been 3D/real life

For context, the creator has confirmed Eddie and Frank were involved romantically together, which makes the last scene very very sad.

The only downside of Matpat sticking with GT Live is that when he leaves I'm gonna be sad again 😭

Nobody: MatPat: “Nuts terrify me” then proceeds to look at the camera

HI MAT!!!! this is skye!!!! dude this is one of the coolest moments of my life!!!!! meeting you was definitely the coolest thing freaking ever, it has been my big brag for the past weeks and you are amazing!!! so psyched you mentioned me, and i hope you have a great day :DDDD hope you like the bracelet!!

Don't know if anybody mentioned it, but the single pea on a plate is a metaphor that represents Eddie's feeling of isolation. He feels left out of the festivities not only because the neighbours didn't give him anything to deliver, but mostly because nobody called him, went to visit him etc. In the recipe portion of the website there's the single pea one that says quote: "consider inviting more peas to the party."

"Nuts terrified me." Stares intimately into camera.

I find it interesting that at 1:14:23 Frank whispers "Eddie" instead of "Mr.Dear" like how he usually does! Like he's trying to break how he usually speaks to talk to Eddie; definitely more humanoid and not that cartoonish voice he always has when around others.

Something I noticed, when they describe Barnaby's mom's eggnog, it's described as chunky, but his dog food and tobacco (stuff he enjoys by himself) is smooth. I get the feeling the word choice is specific to make the stuff Barnaby enjoys with his mom (someone outside The Neighborhood) feel bad, and the stuff he enjoys by himself good.

Oh man, shoutout to Welcome Home for being the internet horror with the best transcript! I’m not deaf, but I have pretty significant Auditory Processing Disorder (like dyslexia for your ears), so being able to go through the transcript in full makes Welcome Home so much more accessible and fun for me. Working overtime to understand what’s being said makes it hard to pay attention to someone’s tone of voice, so it’s incredible to have tone/intent indicators in the transcript as well. Phenomenal all around!

Matpat, if you read this Wally’s favorite food is apples. Also it was probably Wally who did “bite” the Apple but didn’t grab it because he eats with his eyes.

It's nice in the beginning to hear how much fun Matt is having now after he's retired. Im happy for him and glad he's having fun with his life.

Matt and ash trying not to pause the video every 10 seconds to have the most random conversation you've ever heard challenge (impossible)

I think something went unnoticed: Frank asking Sally who helped her get to the top of the tree. Based on how it's worded, it seems that Frank genuinely doesn't know which resident, if any, did it.

The pea thing reminds me of Mickey cutting a single pea when he played Bob Cratchet in A Christmas Carol. But Eddie's story was a common trope in older kids shows at least. Everyone tries to help the busy person but the result makes the usually busy person feel unneeded. They did his job, so what's his purpose? He wasn't missed.

One of the big tactics of a cult is to isolate you from those who actually care about you so that they, and their warped message that generally promote some form of self-harm, can become the fundamental cornerstone of your psyche. Frank isn't the only one being isolated during homewarming. At the end we hear that Sally has also been isolated "all day" as the "most important decor of homewarming" a role she is clearly unhappy about as it requires her to be up a tree by herself, but one she does anyways for "this little neighborhood"

Hello everyone! Your friendly neighborhood Bait Police officer here to remind you not to reply to bots under comments! Replying to them makes YouTube think that they’re real people. Things to do if you see a bot reply: 1. Do NOT reply! I know it might be tempting to clap back as these bots tend to slander our favorite creators, like MatPat here, especially after he announced his retirement, but replying to them will fool the YouTube algorithm into thinking that they’re real people. 2. Report the comment either for “Unwanted commercial content or spam”, or for “Harassment and bullying.” 3. Block the account by going to their channel, first pressing the “Report” button to report the channel and then clicking “Hide this user from my channel” so that pesky bot account can’t reply to your comments anymore. Safe commenting, friends 🫡 -Officer Miguel O’Hara of the Bait Police 💙🕷️♥️ (I swear it’s me, just rocking a Shanks pfp rn because he’s the GOAT) PS. I’m NOT a bot and if you reply, I will get back to you as soon as I can. Ask me literally anything, even something dumb like who my favorite One Piece character is. I swear I’m not a bot!

just a thought, but at 1:03:15 with Eddie and the single pea, maybe its reflective in a way? Maybe Eddie is having anxious thoughts about all the neighbors not needing him anymore, not being wanted and being all by himself? especially when he's in the chair and suddenly gets sent to a dark black void, with home looking down at him. It could also be home's way of punishing the neighbors or somewhat, making them feel alone and casted aside, like one single pea on a plate, which could be why the single pea is in the cookbook, basically home setting some sort of warning, being left out, feeling unwanted, like home is telling him "your not welcome here" which could be why eddie said he had to go back to HIS home >:D
