Bartok's Website

Our Story

Once upon a time in the South of England an idiot was born, his parents decided to call him James. A month or so later, another idiot in the making was born. Years from this day, he would have the title of Bartok bestowed upon him. Miles was born a month after that and Ben, ever the odd one out, was born in April. If he was real, Tom would have been born around this sort of time.

Several years later, the first two idiots met and eventually decided to become partners in crime. It was another several years after this that Bartok was given his title. He was out with his friends and one of them, who was known to the masses as Nikolai put on his Russian accent and called Bartok Bartok. Bartok the Magnificent.

Nearly a year after that Bartok and James met Miles and Tom, they quickly became friends. Ben (once again being late) joined half a year after that.

It was even more time after this that Bartok and Miles began to talk about buying a cheap car and making an Instagram account, its username would have been: Bad Ideas. Because Miles is a slow bastard he never got round to it so Bartok took it upon himself to convert his old YouTube channel Tussocky Joker into Bartok and His Friends Bad Ideas. And that pretty much brings us up to date for now, after Bartok published his waffle toastie maker video more and more of the friends flocked to the channel until there wa:

Bartok - The idiot who runs it all

Miles/Mills - The other idiot who helped kick-start it all

Ben - Their weird friend who tags along and likes anime

James/Premium Wood Adhesive - The OG friend who comes up with around half the bad ideas

Weeb/James/Ender - The other weeb but he is actually funny and also Irish

Laiton/Hentai - A third weeb who is even better at siege but is terrible at remembering to turn his mic on

But then things changed. Bartok became lazy and couldn't afford an Xbox Gold subscription so no videos were being recorded and uploaded, James became a dick, Bartok stopped playing online and therefore talking to Weeb and Laiton. The channel ground to a halt and has stood there ever since. Bartok sits in his bedroom and reminisces about the glory days but can't pick up a controller anymore, and never has the time or the equipment to record. Bartok and his Friends' Bad Ideas was born on the 28th of November with a video about making waffles in a toastie maker and 0 subscribers, and died just over a year later with the long anticipated 'Jew Jokes' video and 358 subscribers. The date is 31/12/2019 and it's 1am, this is Bartok signing off 2019 and this decade.

And then just before 2019 ended, after a good night's rest and a day of reflection, Bartok was sat in his room once again and just thought: "Fuck it." So here's to the next decade on Bartok and his Friends' Bad Ideas. Thinking about changing the name though...
