    LOL, This is the best one ever! Hilarious! You are rocking that green jacket Ella! Really goes well with your red hair.

    Hello, Ella.
    Well, yes, it is interesting and a break in people’s lives to see and read his notes.
    But, isn’t it littering?

    Reminds me of that guy who writes hilarious silly letters to people that is just serious enough that they believe him. Like that time there was a picture of a shark going om nom nom….

    Glad to see you making videos again, Ella! Also, it’s odd that he looks a bit like Aaron Rodgers, yet has a Bears cap on (I’m a huge Green Bay fan). Thanks for the smiles, both!

    The channel splitting I knew would have a bad impact on rocketboomNYC

    People think of it being specifically for that one location means that they can’t appreciate the content unless they live there

    Hopefully this NYC stays on this channel and it gets the credit it deserves

    The guy’s a bit of a dork, but he’s also a bit of a genius. Some of the notes were quite funny and would surely brighten up my day were I to find something like this while walking down the street.

    Good job on cracking that case wide open Ella, Bravo and I think You have found the next Tom Green. Now maybe You can ghost write for Chris and help society proper.

    He’s just being a dick. A few people probably came back and he laughed watching them across the road. I’ll give this video a thumbs up just for Ella.

  79. SoullessConviction says:

    I don’t understand how they found that guy just from the notes? Did they just happen to find him as he was putting up one?

    They didn’t replace Molly with a new British woman did they? I know there are many British women, but I was rather getting used to Molly.

  92. yeeyoh says:
    February 16, 2011 at 7:22 pm

    Wow, that’s some great art, I really like the originality of the idea he came up with, and Chris seems like a pleasant character, it’s sort of a shame he doesn’t exist.

  93. theflorgeormix says:

    On my hall at UGA someone put up a Flyer for a gaming Club with a Picture of Mr. Spock on it – total fiction – hilarious

  94. stevesusenet says:
    February 16, 2011 at 7:25 pm

    @ellamorto Sorry! The U.S. is a big country. What they say about living it in is a bit like being in a bubble is true. A lot of those accents sound similar to us. Yes, I will hop on a plane more. Well maybe, hop IN a plane more :) .

    @d3st88 Because they play up the Egyptians like they’re heroes, but ignore the fact that they are just stupid animals. They attacked and raped a woman out of celebration.

    If I gave 2 shits about whats going on in NYC or wanted to watch Rocketboom NYC i would have subscribed to that channel.

    February 16, 2011 at 9:05 pm

    @CassesVultus I know about the split, I am subbed to them all. They havent been putting out Tech and NYC for a few weeks so I was wondering if they decided to merge them all again. Seems like they did since this is a RB NYC episode on RBD.

    Ella, can you clear this up?

  113. t1mTV says:
    February 16, 2011 at 9:15 pm

    rocketboom, you cant have a pretty girl like molly on my homepage every day and then expect me to tolerate this ugly cunt.

  118. TheGypsysTavern says:
    February 16, 2011 at 9:33 pm

    Wow this is amazing. This guy brings ‘trolling’ into the real world. It’s perfect this transition from something that exists only on the internet to something that we might start to see in everyday anywhere. This could be the start of real world memes, think of passing by a bulletin board at work or school and seeing a philosoraptor meme or any variation of that sort. I really think theres an idea here and looking forward to its progression.

  120. jdaemaens says:

    we’re focused on our blackberries because most of our livelihoods are executed by staring down at our blackberries while we commute, you fucking ass. maybe if you’d get a job and stop being such a brooklyn hippie you’d understand.

    “I think I may have a boil on my ass, but I can’t twist around far enough to see – I need a honest second opinion – meet me here tomorrow at 4 PM if you can take a look at it for me”

  127. newcoyote says:
    February 16, 2011 at 10:19 pm

    @N3vam0re He is a quirky individual contributing the the character and pulse of the city. He obviously enjoys doing it and no doubt makes others smile. It takes all types. All you can see is “He needs a life”? That is a pathetic view and indicates it is you that leads a shallow life.

  130. geargemartin says:
    February 16, 2011 at 10:36 pm

    @RomeoCo Yeah, I do obscure references a lot. When one gets it I celebrate by doing the Snoopy dance…..Ahhh good times, good times.:)

  131. Zombiepull says:
    February 16, 2011 at 10:43 pm

    @newcoyote i agree. i think the people at the subway he has talken about in the beginnig are those who need a life. cause he does what just a few people do today… something different.

  132. johnnytastetest says:
    February 16, 2011 at 10:45 pm

    @newcoyote – If this guy were doing something a little more original I could get behind that statement of yours. Unfortunately, he isn’t. There are plenty of other hipster douchebags like this guy who not only have high opinions of themselves, but plenty of spare time to make their city just a little bit messier. This type of ruse is akin to drawing an explicit cartoon on the inside of a bathroom stall with a Sharpie, justifying it with, “SOMEONE will probably chuckle at this one day!”

  138. johnnytastetest says:
    February 16, 2011 at 11:25 pm

    Plenty of rude “Where’s Molly?!” comments on this video, huh? She’s definitely adorable, that girl; but in watching her, you can tell that she’s very conscious of this, and I get the feeling that much like her “aw shucks” webcam days, the “geek chique” image she tries to project on Rocketboom is simply her playing to her audience. She’d be a very high-maintenance chick, I think, because all those comments about her fuel her narcissism, and she’d want the same attention in the real world too.

  144. 89Husker says:
    February 17, 2011 at 12:27 am

    Admittedly this guy is kinda strange. But quirks make the individual. Also, I haven’t been subscribed to Rocketboom for a long time, maybe a month or two now, but I love Molly and I love Ella just the same. It’s great to see a fresh face!

  145. igykalen says:
    February 17, 2011 at 12:29 am

    When I meet people like this on the street, I just avoid them for personal safety.

    And none of his jokes were funny.

    I want Ella to interview the poor bastard that has to keep taking down all this crap that “funny” people put up all over the place. Or is New York just a giant garbage dump?

    3:25 Ella showed up. How sad.

  149. shadarko says:
    February 17, 2011 at 12:38 am

    I like Ella, I do, I think she’s great. But again, this is RocketBoom NY. why is it in the rocketboom news channel? Again, wasn’t it the whole point of rocketboom splitting up was so these would appear if you didn’t want them?

  158. Itsdefault says:
    February 17, 2011 at 1:32 am

    Why tell a man who enjoys trying to make people’s day brighter to “get a life”.

    is spreading laughter/jokes that bad?

    seems some of the people posting comments need to recheck what it means to “have a life”

    just sayin.

  163. maksphoto78 says:
    February 17, 2011 at 2:38 am

    Yay, Ella is back! Love episodes like this, shows that that there is more to NY than just buildings and people going around their business.

  169. Iced1992 says:
    February 17, 2011 at 3:36 am

    @johnnytastetest You can’t “fuel” narcissism. Narcissism is an inherent feeling of grand self-worth and superiority. Another person’s opinion won’t matter to you.

    I love how laymen use such terms so lightly.

  170. pigman2222 says:
    February 17, 2011 at 3:58 am

    @Iced1992
    Summary : Chickenshit virgin backs piece of shit street-activity & acts like a big man on the internet to impress some girl who’ll never even read his post , let alone acknowledge his worthless existence. (life of Iced1992 worthless no need to save seconds.)

  171. GmasterRED says:
    February 17, 2011 at 4:14 am

    @N3vam0re
    For sure.. Seems like a total lost one. Goes around standing people up for three years because he can’t work himself up for the social interaction.

  175. Iced1992 says:
    February 17, 2011 at 4:18 am

    @pigman2222 Summary: proved my point, now is officially the saddest individual on YouTube, speaking of his own life and projecting on others. (About one congratulation is in order.)

    You lose, good sir. Now, you’ll lose further because, while you’re raging on and will try to insult me in another post, I will go have a life. Any acknowledgment of my post in response or reading will declare me victorious, thus making it de facto.

    Enjoy your miserable day. ;)

  182. GmasterRED says:
    February 17, 2011 at 4:25 am

    @Bostonandback
    RB NYC is a fail show with little interest, so they have to publish it over here to make break ten thousand views.

  183. pigman2222 says:
    February 17, 2011 at 4:50 am

    @Iced1992
    You’re replying to “the saddest individual on You Tube”. What does that make you dipshit? Think about it! So actually you lose. Haha, you damn fool.

  185. Brandyndyndyn says:
    February 17, 2011 at 5:41 am

    So he thinks it’s awesome when someone actually shows up, but he won’t be there… How is that supposed to make the person who showed up feel?

  192. johnnytastetest says:
    February 17, 2011 at 7:36 am

    @Iced1992 – You did a good job of embarrassing yourself, Iced1992. First of all, narcissists display a variety of traits, but the main one they share is an obsession of their own vanity. It’s often a sexual fascination. Your use of the word “inherent” implies that this condition is innate, but in adults it is definitely cultivated. A narcissist’s self-love doesn’t mean they dismiss all people’s opinions, either. They feed off of any affirmation of their self-worth they can find, you idiot.

  193. Essenji says:
    February 17, 2011 at 7:42 am

    Oh, I just love people like this. They don’t have anything special at all, yet they try to make the very best of their situation, and do so by cheering other people up. You, sir, have my full support!

  198. zymethpwn says:
    February 17, 2011 at 8:16 am

    I left a note in the park, but I can’t remember where I put it because I’m too sad about my cat dieing. If you find a note please meet me here at 4:00 and we can drink some soda.

  203. Bostonandback says:
    February 17, 2011 at 9:28 am

    @ellamorton Thank you for clearing that up. I look forward to the return of NYC. I enjoy those episodes and , unlike others, the variety of hosts (hostesses.)

    red head hotness…..
    amazing notes….
    i think more people cared than those that
    cared and got pissed off caused it turns out to be fake….

  209. cricketbat08 says:
    February 17, 2011 at 10:58 am

    Dude should have use drawing pins to attach the note to the tree. Ella has such a charming and relaxed interview technique.

  219. 1acroyear1 says:
    February 17, 2011 at 11:51 am

    Help! I am going to a party and there will be lots of girls there. My friend told me I might find a girlfriend there but I don’t know how to kiss. I need someone to give me kissing lessons urgently (Ella)! I will pay you in chocolate bars. Please me me at 4pm tomorrow in front of the basketball court at 4th street.

  238. Tmmmny says:
    February 17, 2011 at 5:13 pm

    Hi Ella. If you’d like to get a drink sometime, meet me here at 4pm. I’ll be carrying a bag of snack foods. We can have a conversation and maybe a second drink if things go well.

  239. RocketBoobs says:
    February 17, 2011 at 5:23 pm

    Dear Ella RocketBoobs,

    If you’d like to meet real people with real lives, stop reading notes posted by anonymous people….anywhere.

  244. SirReptitious says:
    February 18, 2011 at 3:24 am

    @ACLNM Yeah, pretty much the only difference between homeless and hipster is hipsters are much more arrogant. So its hard to tell w/o having actually having a conversation with one.

  245. SirReptitious says:
    February 18, 2011 at 3:34 am

    @AvengerXP No no no. You clicked on the wrong channel, remember? You don’t? Hmm, neither do I. It’s amazing how people get upset when many of us subbed to RB complain about getting sent videos we didn’t sub to! This one is a perfect example. I do NOT give a shit about some NY hipster who has nothing better to do with his life than go around the city and litter poles and walls with unfunny stuff. And I DO like Ella. She just got stuck doing a job interviewing tools, which I don’t like.

  246. Stripdancer100 says:
    February 18, 2011 at 4:57 am

    @johnnytastetest
    “…all those comments about her fuel her narcissism” – as far as I can see, Molly hasn’t answered any comments since last October. I suppose she hasn’t even read them for a long time.
    “…very high-maintenaince girl”. Who would hae argued with that? I think the guy that Molly deserves would be like both Obama and Clooney combined, that’s why Molly could stay alone until she is 30, and this is real pity.

  255. pigman2222 says:
    February 18, 2011 at 11:04 am

    @johnnytastetest
    Well said. Iced is just a simple minded idiot with a third rate education who doesn’t even realise how stupid he sounds.

  261. pigman2222 says:
    February 18, 2011 at 3:45 pm

    @johnnytastetest
    He has me blocked now because I called him on it. His idea was to put me in place but he got pwned. What a stupid idiot. Feel free to say so on his board for me.

  262. Otakkun says:
    February 18, 2011 at 4:32 pm

    This is kind of idiotic. D=
    I mean, if there was a point to it … maybe get people together to socialize and talk, then I’d understand. But he even admits that he has no intention of ever being there. What’s the difference between focusing on your blackberry and posting these notes around? They’re both completely self-centered.

    FAIL.

  264. johnnytastetest says:
    February 18, 2011 at 7:57 pm

    @pigman2222 – I made your feelings known on his channel page. In return, you should check out my videos, pigman. Hopefully you’ll think me worthy of a subscribtion.

  267. johnnytastetest says:
    February 19, 2011 at 7:03 am

    @loveRoarke – My comment was in response to what someone else had said. “Why isn’t Molly interviewing?” or something.

    Don’t worry, I know it’s Ella. She interviews well.

  268. mack89464 says:
    February 19, 2011 at 7:48 am

    I don’t get this. The girl sees a sign about someone with red eye and it says meet me here at 4pm. She has no idea how long the sign is there or which day it was posted yet she comes back at 4pm that day because she was concerned. Seriously? You’ve got to be kidding me.

  276. alphanum001 says:
    February 19, 2011 at 4:45 pm

    I wish he’s named him Tim…

    then when he’s published 2 volumes of his notes, he can call the 2nd volume Timbuktu.

  277. carrottopsisco1 says:
    February 19, 2011 at 8:15 pm

    if a person were to show up and take an important part of their day out to do something for a person who was just doing a joke, it would be quite annoying. i have very little respect for this person especially since he thinks it’s funny ^^

    Funny?! I never would have guessed that, on my own. Maybe it’s entertaining—TO HIM—, but I’m even doubtful about that, since he doesn’t even show up to see what results his notes get. Maybe, he’d realize how unfunny & unentertaining his writing is, if he tried to get an employer or buyer to pay him for it.

  293. grendelee says:

    Me and my friends used to pretend to be mentally handicapped. We would take a dog leash and put on a loaf a bread in the store and go “cmon lappy, cmon! WHY ARENT YOU WALKING!” or lay in the road or something.

    Maybe i should do that again sometime. For science
