Dr. Grande, one of the many things I love in your shows and I appreciate from you is that, unlike content creators of instant gratification or instant public shaming, you trust that your audience is able to follow along. Essentially, thank you for *not* assuming we are stupid, but rather that people are capable of understanding you.
I think I seen one with a restaurant owner refuses to hire a homeless man and instantly regrets it. It reminded me of watching the GI Joe cartoons as a kid and seeing the “And Knowing is Half the Battle” safety tips at the end of each episode.
Out of all of the criminals and murderers you’ve analyzed, I regret learning of this person the most. I just watched one video for context and I’m positive that slamming my head into a wall for the same length of time would’ve been less damaging to my brain.
The good thing about the counselor experiencing regret is that she or he will be able to access coping skills and engage in appropriate self-care to deal with it.
Legal Eagle did a breakdown of one of Mann’s videos involving a legal setting…it was atrocious on all points, and for the reasons you succinctly described. 🤢 The fact that Mann is popular erodes my faith in humanity even further.
I mean, in the 80's we had a fair amount of content like this from Afterschool Specials to Very Special Episodes of shows, to the moralizing aftershow tags of cartoons like G.I. Joe and MASK. But I agree that the skip-to-the-end instant karma of Dhar Mann does present an unrealistic view of how justice in the real world works. I feel proud that my teenaged children already realize what his videos are, and aren't, and can have a good chuckle at them.
do you remember that one bullying video where the kid gets picked on at recess and runs out into the road and gets hit by a car. I remember at one point, a new kid in his class, a fat kid, actually befriended him, and was talking about ice cream, with sprinkles and chocolate syrup and fudge and cherries and so on lol
Jarrod Davis in the 80’s we had content like that. Now that we’ve gotten rid of that kind of content look where we are, music that is so sexually explicit it could be rated X and kids shooting each other over a dirty look. The message in the media has a HUGE affect on society.
This is going to be amazing, I can feel it. My bestie since Jr. High and I have re-bonded over your videos. Dr. Grande: bringing people together. Only virtually. Because, you know. Pandemic.

I "Discovered" Dahr Mann a few years, just out of boredom, clicked on one of his videos on Facebook, and the cringe was laughable at first, but after watching a few in a self punishing manner, I had to stop. Especially after reading the comments. It is insane, how many people think this dude is inspiring 😳 😒
Dhar man videos are NOT trash. Because trash is actually good, it's reuseable and recycable, but His videos are so much worse than rubbish. Because his videos are literally ALMOST not useful at all and that's way worse than a trash can.
@@kartikadewi3270 It’s ridiculous that anyone over 5 would learn something morally from his videos. If his videos inspire an adult not to be a menace to the public they’ve already failed as a human being.
Oh they're so so so bad. Like church play levels of bad. I'm surprised they're not on Pure Flix. This is cracking me up! I've watched 2 of those videos. Ouch.
Thank you for the analysis, Dr. Grande, and thank you for not judging the actors in those awful videos. It's nearly impossible for actors or directors to make bad dialogue and scenes look natural. The best of the best can make it tolerable at best, but they can't make miracles happen. I have only seen 2 of Dhar Mann's videos years ago, and I still cringe at the plotlines and dialogue.
Loved how this was full of so much wit, and the famous little smirks while speaking about absurdities! "Can be accurately characterized as cringy and disheartening." 😂
😂That was right on time Doc. Happy new year to you and your family. F.Y.I., your analysis of this topic was inconsistent with instant regret. My son watches the Darman videos and I figure there are far worse things that he could be watching on youtube so I don't mind him watching this but, you're right they're always cringeworthy. Somewhat like the P.S.A.'s or after school specials we had when we were kids, which were pretty corny. On second thought the after school specials had a valid and clear lessons that were far more understandable and relatable such as "Don't do drugs", "Don't talk to strangers" and "Don't bully".
I love the title you used in this 😂 Also something you said really struck a chord. What you said about change happening with flexible thinking and hard work? That is something that has been a huge lesson for me, as someone who has had life throw some very unusual circumstances my way. Being flexible and working hard is what has gotten me and my loved ones through the hardest challenges of our lives. It hasn't been a simple process at all. It takes a lot of work.
Just to be fair, I watched a few of Dahr Mann's videos. You're right, Dr Grande, I regretted it, instantly. Thank you so much for researching this person and watching more of his videos, so WE don't have to. 🤢 Really, you are the best. 😁 ❤
As always, I hope you found my analysis "inconsistent and with instant regret!!" 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😆😆😆😆😆 OMG!! Okay, okay.. I wondered if he really knew how funny he is, and that told me he absolutely knows! The Emojis do not begin to reflect the true intensity of my laughter! The very last second of the video, what I thought there would be nothing special left to hear, he drops A GEM! Have always loved dry humor, and his monotone, completely straight-faced, dry delivery is the pinnacle of dry wit!! Bravo Doctor! You are both insightful and hilarious!
How can I tell why I watch your videos consistently, Dr.? Do I click on them because you came up with the BEST title ever for this video? Do I come here for the fascinating information you provide? Am I compelled to find out how you will interject your dry humor into the video? The answer is simply YES. :) I have watched Mann's videos on Facebook. I found them interesting but then I may have ran out of other things to watch on the Internet. The videos remind me of the stuff they showed us when I was in school in the early 70's. But, I was raised in the rural Midwest and they haven't caught up with the 21st century yet. I think it does show an action/reaction but, not in real time and not always in real life. But, if it can stop one person from being a bully, I think it's ok.
Great job Doc! I have my own theories on his channel, that he is trying to demonstrate a cultural significance of karma for either self serving or philosophical reasons -- reminiscent of other works in a similar vein: Veggie Tales is what comes to mind when making this claim
Awhile back I watched a channel review one of these vids. I could not believe the way the presenter bought into it. It isn't real life yet some of these were reviewed with other content as if they were real. I had no idea that these were such a big thing and you are spot on with your analysis. There is no depth to these stories or characters and yeah, real life takes work. What concerns me is the generation that absorbs this content believing this is how life is or should be. It's actually quite disturbing the more you think about it. Oh and I couldn't make it through an episode. To be open minded I tried to compare it to like eighties or nineties sitcoms, but those are repetitive. The characters are there awhile, long enough for people to identify with the characters or situations. Great vid, I love that there is some legitimate content on TH-cam. I learn a lot from you and your vids. You present the facts in a concise and analytical way that is easy to understand. Thank you.
“Never Grow Old”: A great movie with John Cusack delivering one of his finest performances. Emile Hirsch also does a wonderful job as a prosperous mortician. The connection here is the most important link between Dhar Mann and the world we live in. While trying to find a fellow partner in crime, Cusack’s character tells the man’s wife: “Sometimes I think the world is a just a tissue of lies.” I have a feeling Dr. Grande will soon discover this truth and he might wonder why he wasted so much of his time with some of the worst individuals in a world filled with lies.
I’m still laughing, I’m so sorry you had to put yourself through that for us but glad at the same time! I may have water boarded myself if I had to watch his videos!
I always enjoy how your view on many topics coincides with mine, yet you are able to deliver you thoughts in a distilled and precise way. I can never organize and deliver my opinions in such an insightful way. Also love that you season your views with such a dry wit. keep it up Dr G!
My granddaughter (age 11) has shown me a few of these and truly seems to believe these scenarios are actual events. This only says to me that his subscribers are on the same level, intellectually, as a child. Oh, I so enjoyed this Dr Grande! If you're interested in torturing yourself, I heard that Trisha Paytas did some Dhar Mann skits on her channel recently.
My kids watch Dhar Mann vids too, but they understand that they're only skits because we've already taught them not to believe everything they watch on the internet. This is all so hilarious to me, because I didn't realize so many adults took such serious offense to those his videos. Either way, it's up to us as parents to stop expecting 'strangers' on the internet to do what's best for our kids, when that's our responsibility. And honestly, while y'all are focused on Dhar Mann for making vids about anti-bullying skits, There's FAR worse things for kids to watch or see on the internet than some DM vid... 'Discord-ion' & 'Tic-kle Toc-kle'😉 are the 😈! 😆😂
Speaking only for myself, occasionally it is nice to see instant karma. When so many things are truly out of ones control. But I must confess I have never herd of this channel. Thank you for the info.
I didn't notice if you mentioned this, but I first saw him on Facebook. He must of paid a HUGE amount for advertising because, despite my best efforts to avoid his videos, it was continuously on my newsfeed for FAR TOO LONG. Constantly. I watched a few, but they were always the same. Well, as the doc has pointed out. It makes SOO MUCH SENSE that he's a fraud. ***Also, am I wrong by remembering him having fund raisers?
I was instantly relieved when, not only had I never heard of this “Dhar Man,” but neither had I ever heard of the other “most viewed” you mentioned. I’m doing something right!😁
"Cancel culture" is just a way for people to be held accountable for thier actions, what's wrong with that? Isn't that how a free society should work? You get free speech, and others have free speech to criticize you for saying awful things?
My kids watch him. They're 8. I can't... It's cringe. But at least it tries to teach some morality. I prefer them to watch cringe than any kind of violence or something else.
I agree my 9 year old son watches it. He also watches. Jeffy which is awful and not for kids. I feel better with him watching these and making comments on why something was wrong.
I'm 72 and enjoy Dhar Mann's videos! Perhaps at MY age I'm shallow, unsophisticated and/or taken in too easily!!🤔 I'm actually being funny. I think quite a bit of morality is being shown in the Dhar Mann videos. Move over, kids....I'll pay for the pizzas!!
You summed up all the problems I have with Dharr's videos. I'm not a counselor like you are, but I've had interest in psychology since I was a teen, and as a writer myself, all the flaws of his stories really bug me, which is why I was never a fan of him. I tried watching his videos before but they only left me dumbfounded and even discouraged at times. Thanks Doc.
This thing with student going identity is going too far. There is a private school near me that is being sued by a set of parents because the school won't put a litter box in their child's classroom. No, there is not an actual cat as a class pet. So why a litter box and why are parents suing? It is because their child identifies as a CAT! This is a slippery slope! MY OPINION- I hope they are laughed out of court! This is progress !!!!

Never heard of Dhar Mann before, but I did bother to look him up and watch one of his videos. I could be wrong, but I don't think Dhar Mann's intended target is Dr. Grande's general audience. Whoever made that simple video I just watched is a good person with a good heart. I actually think, on the basis of no evidence, that the nine-to-12 crowd will like his videos.
Thank you Dr. Grande, Another carefully enunciated review of this Dar Man....I have never watched it nor care to, but as you convey this idea of morality that is presented seems to be vengeful and not realistic. As you outlined it would seem that this fellow who has been fraudulent in his past, seems to want to continue along that path but is fraudulent with peoples emotions and as you say, critical thinking. It would appear that money is important here to:this individual and I wonder if he will have regrets as well-soon enough. Dr. Grande I do enjoy your dry delivery of wit throughout your outlines and analysis,! Thank you for some logical and witty remarks! 🙂
I had clicked on one of his videos and "unrealistic" doesn't begin to describe it. I think even teenagers and children can separate the fantasies of the videos with what really happens in these situations.
I've watched many videos by Dr. Grande and this is THE first one I've seen him completely bash the subject. The fact that even he couldn't find a single redeemable quality in Darman speaks volumes to his lack of character (Darman's).
That which you describe in Mann's videos is what I have come to recognize as " social justice ". A fairly ridiculous set of circumstances are presented in which someone does something to ostensibly cause outrage to the viewer. This person quickly gets his " comeuppance " in the form of some childish karmic kind of revenge. These scenarios are rampant on YT and other media sites, they all capitalize on the poorly formed reasoning capacity of children and are very popular among the short attention span audience. This, no doubt, explains the popularity of his channel. A perceived wrong is " righted " in just a few minutes with no need for understanding the wrong, just the instant feel good of the payback.
TH-cam suggested this video time after time and i never clicked it because of the clickbaity title.. Finally i gave in. I was not prepared for what happend next.
So you see.... thanks for sharing this. Lol! My son and I watch the content. We like it and talk about it. "Terribly written..." yup. Much like 80s sitcom.. But good conversation starter on emotions and logic and the real world. As for his background, not surprising. But like all public figures, their human and another good point to share with my son....and look for his mea culpa for past sins.
it feels like his stories are written by a software program... but i love them. it's like experimental theatre in a way. "life lessonswith luis" and "generation hope" are better. they're just nuts!
I noticed my 11 year old sister started consuming his content at an alarming rate last year. I happened to watch a few videos with her on visits ti my parents’ house and the cringe was beyond anything a reasonable person could be expected to withstand. I took special exception to how he depicted women (read: gold diggers who’ll get what’s coming to them, even the little girls) but I figured I wouldn’t ruin it for her because she’s just a kid. I then started to realize that he makes this content for a predominantly younger audience with the aim of informing morality, and that because she’s a child, she may not realize that it’s utter garbage and start to base her world view on what she was seeing being depicted on the screen. Eventually I sat her down and essentially told her that life doesn’t work remotely how he depicts it to, that people and situations are more nuanced, and recommended that she continued watching for entertainment purposes and not through the lens of trying to make sense of real world situations and human interaction. I don’t live with her, so I can’t be sure, but I sincerely hope she took my words to heart and doesn’t watch his videos as much anymore.
I went to high school with "Dhar Mann" and have seen his progression since that time. All I can say is that every time I see someone posting his videos I cringe. He's maybe the fakest person I've ever known in my life. Always has been about false appearances. To me, he'll always be the high school bathroom weed dealer.
@@calikid666 Well, he'd have to be stoned to make these awful videos and to think anyone would get anything out of it. Having said that, I do think they're unintentionally hysterical and should be shown as midnight movies somewhere. 😄😄😄😄😄
"Most valuable life lessons cannot be taught through emotions." Thank you for that, Dr.Grande. It's a wise and helpful observation, and one I haven't heard before. It's also something worth repeating, because all sorts of human relationships can find themselves running up against the problem of emotional manipulation. If we are unaware, we might even be doing it ourselves without realizing this is our real intent!
“The ACE family, a channel that inadvertently showcases the financial failings of a California family”… man I love your synopsis and witty, sarcastic, dry humor and delivery. So happy I found your channel months ago! I’ve never heard of this human so I went to his channel whilst listening to your video. I couldn’t bring myself to click on anything, but I peeped the viewcounts and whoa!!! They each amass a good 10-15 million views. Dude is mega rich money wise, clearly not wealthy morally.
If you want to see how horrible the videos are without giving him views, check out Jarvis Johnson's channel - he did an entertaining review of Dhar Man. I think Danny Gonzalez might also have one. His messages are actually terrible and always focus on revenge or reward, no real lessons about just doing the right thing and being a good person 🙄. It is disheartening that he has such a big platform.
@@anatoliagolden-hall4553 I hope you’re right about the bots. Otherwise, if that many people watch those videos and follow this Man guy, then that is more disturbing than the videos themselves.
This is how he attracts views too. Many watch and laugh, and to be honest I do prefer that people watch his content because it's so bad, than go and watch Nickocado Avocado because of his bad content. Nobody is really hurt in the process in the case of Dhar Man (did I spell that right?), while there are many others that we really shouldn't give our attention at all.
@@anatoliagolden-hall4553 I think most of them are bots from Asia I know we all don’t have the same standard morals but his videos are pretty cringe. I can’t imagine that many people tuning in for the same thing
You see the one with the guy and his chubby gf? There's a part where they bump into his black friend and his gf. I really thought guy was gonna lean in and say "a white girl... nice". The writing was so unrealistic my brain was looking for ways to make it sound like how two men would actually eff with each other. But there's a part where he's publicly fat shaming his gf. I was like "in real life he'd be stabbed with a spoon "
@@jesussaves7973 She doesn't.They sneak. My two kids are grown now bt they did the same things. All their peers do it as well. It's part of the agony pf parenting, especially in this online age where if they want to see something, THEY WILL.
I would much rather watch you discuss psychology than watch any of these "influencers" Thank you for the amazing, high quality, thought out content. Very good!
You can catch a wry smile at 6:21. I laughed too! On the subject of instant regret: "This part does seem to accurately reflect my experience after watching several of his videos - I regretted it each time." Brilliant! Keep it up, Doc!
My roommate and I watch these when we need a good, quick laugh. I'm a *little* disappointed that you didn't throw in a "so you see" at the end. But this was still great to watch.
I just watched a couple of his latest videos for the first time. I'm speechless. What I found the most disturbing were the positive comments from people who take these cringe worthy videos seriously. At times, it felt like I was watching an SNL skit!
I always thought these videos were some indian english students project as the dialog is so stilted it doesnt sound like anything a native english speaker would produce.
@@andrewbellinger6120 I'd like to see who his actual viewers are because it really does seem like they are non-english speaking and wouldn't pick up on how bad the dialog and acting really is. It's like porn, it's straight to the point. Except I'd argue porn has better voice acting...
It’s worth noting that his channel’s success and the upvoting of certain comments is probably helped along by the use of large numbers of bots. At least, one would think so.
I refer to this as emotional porn. And there's absolutely NO person of good moral character who produces such drivel. Oh and he makes oversimplified poorly written, badly acted videos because he is well aware most people are dumb enough to like it.
Not “people”- little children. And that is a special kind of evil, to suck little children into your bs and feed them emotional garbage when they don’t understand what is happening to them

Awhile back I watched a channel review one of these vids. I could not believe the way the presenter bought into it. It isn't real life yet some of these were reviewed with other content as if they were real. I had no idea that these were such a big thing and you are spot on with your analysis. There is no depth to these stories or characters and yeah, real life takes work.
What concerns me is the generation that absorbs this content believing this is how life is or should be. It's actually quite disturbing the more you think about it. Oh and I couldn't make it through an episode. To be open minded I tried to compare it to like eighties or nineties sitcoms, but those are repetitive. The characters are there awhile, long enough for people to identify with the characters or situations.
Great vid, I love that there is some legitimate content on TH-cam. I learn a lot from you and your vids. You present the facts in a concise and analytical way that is easy to understand. Thank you.
It's interesting how 90% of his videos are don't be racist because black people might be rich
“Never Grow Old”: A great movie with John Cusack delivering one of his finest performances. Emile Hirsch also does a wonderful job as a prosperous mortician. The connection here is the most important link between Dhar Mann and the world we live in. While trying to find a fellow partner in crime, Cusack’s character tells the man’s wife: “Sometimes I think the world is a just a tissue of lies.” I have a feeling Dr. Grande will soon discover this truth and he might wonder why he wasted so much of his time with some of the worst individuals in a world filled with lies.
I love how I've never heard of any of those channels you'd compared to him. That Ace Family thing sounds like a riot though, I might check that out.
Another solid upload EXACTLY what the Dr. Recommended. 🌵🌵🌵 still watching but I have faith.
This aged well
I’m still laughing, I’m so sorry you had to put yourself through that for us but glad at the same time! I may have water boarded myself if I had to watch his videos!
You got a heart!
Even the title of this one is hilarious !! You never let me down Dr G!!!
Thank you for keeping it real in a confusingly crazy world!
I find it funny how they call it the “right” to do whatever and it can be taken away. It’s not a right. It’s a privilege.
I always enjoy how your view on many topics coincides with mine, yet you are able to deliver you thoughts in a distilled and precise way. I can never organize and deliver my opinions in such an insightful way. Also love that you season your views with such a dry wit. keep it up Dr G!
My granddaughter (age 11) has shown me a few of these and truly seems to believe these scenarios are actual events. This only says to me that his subscribers are on the same level, intellectually, as a child.
Oh, I so enjoyed this Dr Grande!
If you're interested in torturing yourself, I heard that Trisha Paytas did some Dhar Mann skits on her channel recently.
My kids watch Dhar Mann vids too, but they understand that they're only skits because we've already taught them not to believe everything they watch on the internet. This is all so hilarious to me, because I didn't realize so many adults took such serious offense to those his videos. Either way, it's up to us as parents to stop expecting 'strangers' on the internet to do what's best for our kids, when that's our responsibility. And honestly, while y'all are focused on Dhar Mann for making vids about anti-bullying skits,
There's FAR worse things for kids to watch or see on the internet than some DM vid... 'Discord-ion' & 'Tic-kle Toc-kle'😉 are the 😈! 😆😂
That Ace family burn. A channel about the financial failings of a California family...... DEAD
Speaking only for myself, occasionally it is nice to see instant karma. When so many things are truly out of ones control. But I must confess I have never herd of this channel. Thank you for the info.
I didn't notice if you mentioned this, but I first saw him on Facebook. He must of paid a HUGE amount for advertising because, despite my best efforts to avoid his videos, it was continuously on my newsfeed for FAR TOO LONG. Constantly. I watched a few, but they were always the same. Well, as the doc has pointed out. It makes SOO MUCH SENSE that he's a fraud.
***Also, am I wrong by remembering him having fund raisers?
Thank you for the video, Dr. Grande! 🌟 💜
I suffer no regret from watching this analysis... I giggled all the way through. Thanks. 😊
Your video message is why I quickly stopped watching his unrealistic situations.... The super fast results of regret and forgiveness.
I was instantly relieved when, not only had I never heard of this “Dhar Man,” but neither had I ever heard of the other “most viewed” you mentioned. I’m doing something right!😁
"Cancel culture" is just a way for people to be held accountable for thier actions, what's wrong with that? Isn't that how a free society should work? You get free speech, and others have free speech to criticize you for saying awful things?
It's called the heckler's veto.
I have a friend who constantly shares Dhar Mann’s annoying videos. Now I see why I find them so annoying.
Ever seen the Highlights For Children magazine's Goofus and Gallant feature? That's who nearly all the characters in Dhar Mann's videos are.
I was seriously under the impression that I was the only one who realized what dumpster fires these “films” are. I’m relieved.
My kids watch him. They're 8. I can't... It's cringe. But at least it tries to teach some morality. I prefer them to watch cringe than any kind of violence or something else.
I agree my 9 year old son watches it. He also watches. Jeffy which is awful and not for kids. I feel better with him watching these and making comments on why something was wrong.
@@katieannrocks7947 yeah I agree. I can't watch with them it's just too cringe. Lol... but I do love watching Mr Beast.
I'm 72 and enjoy Dhar Mann's videos! Perhaps at MY age I'm shallow, unsophisticated and/or taken in too easily!!🤔 I'm actually being funny. I think quite a bit of morality is being shown in the Dhar Mann videos. Move over, kids....I'll pay for the pizzas!!
@@amaraland1 Lol! You're funny! I'll admit... sometimes I catch myself watching and I'm like... "Snap out of it!!!"!
You summed up all the problems I have with Dharr's videos. I'm not a counselor like you are, but I've had interest in psychology since I was a teen, and as a writer myself, all the flaws of his stories really bug me, which is why I was never a fan of him. I tried watching his videos before but they only left me dumbfounded and even discouraged at times. Thanks Doc.
Your ability to roast with a straight face is crazy😂😂😂
Your deadpan delivery when you roast him though 😂😂😂😂
Those view counts are mind-boggling.
His review of Dhar Mann's video sounds like is breaking down a CW Supergirl episode or the Captain Marvel move.
I haven't even watched the video yet. All I did was read the title and I'm cracking up! 🤣🤣
This thing with student going identity is going too far. There is a private school near me that is being sued by a set of parents because the school won't put a litter box in their child's classroom. No, there is not an actual cat as a class pet. So why a litter box and why are parents suing? It is because their child identifies as a CAT! This is a slippery slope!
MY OPINION- I hope they are laughed out of court!
This is progress !!!!
Yeah right!
But it would be gross to see a kid use a litterbox during class!😂😜😖
Why are you lying?

Thank you!! I’ve been thinking the same things but so confused because they’re so popular!
Also I love your commentary on the Just World Fallacy
If you go to county jail to serve your time you can expunge your record. If you serve your felony time in a prison then you need to get a pardon in CA...
Should’ve been called “WE FAIL”, Dr.Grande’s stings in that monotone voice crack me up. Lol
I remember seeing this guy's videos. You hit the nail on the head and then some
Never heard of Dhar Mann before, but I did bother to look him up and watch one of his videos. I could be wrong, but I don't think Dhar Mann's intended target is Dr. Grande's general audience. Whoever made that simple video I just watched is a good person with a good heart. I actually think, on the basis of no evidence, that the nine-to-12 crowd will like his videos.
Thank you Dr. Grande, Another carefully enunciated review of this Dar Man....I have never watched it nor care to, but as you convey this idea of morality that is presented seems to be vengeful and not realistic. As you outlined it would seem that this fellow who has been fraudulent in his past, seems to want to continue along that path but is fraudulent with peoples emotions and as you say, critical thinking. It would appear that money is important here to:this individual and I wonder if he will have regrets as well-soon enough. Dr. Grande I do enjoy your dry delivery of wit throughout your outlines and analysis,! Thank you for some logical and witty remarks! 🙂
I had clicked on one of his videos and "unrealistic" doesn't begin to describe it. I think even teenagers and children can separate the fantasies of the videos with what really happens in these situations.
"Cringy and disheartening." **says in defeated tone**
"I know this isn't what you want and I'm sorry".
I've watched many videos by Dr. Grande and this is THE first one I've seen him completely bash the subject. The fact that even he couldn't find a single redeemable quality in Darman speaks volumes to his lack of character (Darman's).
This title is perfect. Amazing video.
Thanks for this, my mind is now at ease. I thought I was the only one that was not getting it.
That which you describe in Mann's videos is what I have come to recognize as " social justice ". A fairly ridiculous set of circumstances are presented in which someone does something to ostensibly cause outrage to the viewer. This person quickly gets his " comeuppance " in the form of some childish karmic kind of revenge. These scenarios are rampant on YT and other media sites, they all capitalize on the poorly formed reasoning capacity of children and are very popular among the short attention span audience.
This, no doubt, explains the popularity of his channel. A perceived wrong is " righted " in just a few minutes with no need for understanding the wrong, just the instant feel good of the payback.
TH-cam suggested this video time after time and i never clicked it because of the clickbaity title.. Finally i gave in. I was not prepared for what happend next.
So you see.... thanks for sharing this. Lol! My son and I watch the content. We like it and talk about it. "Terribly written..." yup. Much like 80s sitcom.. But good conversation starter on emotions and logic and the real world. As for his background, not surprising. But like all public figures, their human and another good point to share with my son....and look for his mea culpa for past sins.
Lol right that's what they always say So You See
it feels like his stories are written by a software program... but i love them.
it's like experimental theatre in a way.
"life lessonswith luis" and "generation hope" are better. they're just nuts!
Met up with extended family for a wedding. My 65 year old aunt asked me if I knew Dhar Mann. I didnt know how to respond.
I saw a couple of his films, and what I found disappointing wa that the people lecturing were never punched out and told to eff off.
You got some mad dry roasting skills, almost a wizardry. Lol
👖👖🎸🎸
I wonder if Tom & Christina know about all these cool facts
Watched Dr. Grande video exposing Dhar Mann......I did NOT regret it...💯💯
Lovin' your bit of dry humor in this one lol
Dhar Mann's revenge porn for the Just-World-fallacy crowd - "you good, others bad, justice"
I noticed my 11 year old sister started consuming his content at an alarming rate last year. I happened to watch a few videos with her on visits ti my parents’ house and the cringe was beyond anything a reasonable person could be expected to withstand. I took special exception to how he depicted women (read: gold diggers who’ll get what’s coming to them, even the little girls) but I figured I wouldn’t ruin it for her because she’s just a kid.
I then started to realize that he makes this content for a predominantly younger audience with the aim of informing morality, and that because she’s a child, she may not realize that it’s utter garbage and start to base her world view on what she was seeing being depicted on the screen. Eventually I sat her down and essentially told her that life doesn’t work remotely how he depicts it to, that people and situations are more nuanced, and recommended that she continued watching for entertainment purposes and not through the lens of trying to make sense of real world situations and human interaction. I don’t live with her, so I can’t be sure, but I sincerely hope she took my words to heart and doesn’t watch his videos as much anymore.
LOL at "the cringe was beyond anything a reasonable person could be expected to withstand." You have a way with words!
I banned my 7 year from watching them.
i really like the way you described these things to her! you’re a great sibling
You did the right thing💗
I assume you do this with all the other content she views that's also shaping her world view but is also unrealistic. 🙄
Dhar Mann is basically the modern day equivalent of '80s and '90s after school specials about the dangers of drugs.
Nailed it
So perfect!
Why do an analysis though? His channel is not harmful.
They were less cringey
DARE Mann
Your dry, straight to the point humor is hilarious
No instantly regret there !
I went to high school with "Dhar Mann" and have seen his progression since that time. All I can say is that every time I see someone posting his videos I cringe. He's maybe the fakest person I've ever known in my life. Always has been about false appearances. To me, he'll always be the high school bathroom weed dealer.
Was he really?!
@@isabellalora6533 true facts of life 💯
@@calikid666 Well, he'd have to be stoned to make these awful videos and to think anyone would get anything out of it. Having said that, I do think they're unintentionally hysterical and should be shown as midnight movies somewhere. 😄😄😄😄😄
Well hello👀
Damn 😂😂😂
Dr. Grande is a savage. Your dry humor always makes me laugh!
Dr. Grande, you crack me up while making valid points. Thank you.
the driest of humor
So funny lol
like how he keeps the straight face
I was laughing so hard 😂
@@yonyonyon4220 ,
"Most valuable life lessons cannot be taught through emotions." Thank you for that, Dr.Grande. It's a wise and helpful observation, and one I haven't heard before. It's also something worth repeating, because all sorts of human relationships can find themselves running up against the problem of emotional manipulation. If we are unaware, we might even be doing it ourselves without realizing this is our real intent!
Great point !
💯💯👍
“The ACE family, a channel that inadvertently showcases the financial failings of a California family”… man I love your synopsis and witty, sarcastic, dry humor and delivery. So happy I found your channel months ago!
I’ve never heard of this human so I went to his channel whilst listening to your video. I couldn’t bring myself to click on anything, but I peeped the viewcounts and whoa!!! They each amass a good 10-15 million views. Dude is mega rich money wise, clearly not wealthy morally.
My suspicion is that the vast majority of his views and comments are from bots which he pays for.
If you want to see how horrible the videos are without giving him views, check out Jarvis Johnson's channel - he did an entertaining review of Dhar Man. I think Danny Gonzalez might also have one. His messages are actually terrible and always focus on revenge or reward, no real lessons about just doing the right thing and being a good person 🙄. It is disheartening that he has such a big platform.
@@anatoliagolden-hall4553 I hope you’re right about the bots. Otherwise, if that many people watch those videos and follow this Man guy, then that is more disturbing than the videos themselves.
This is how he attracts views too. Many watch and laugh, and to be honest I do prefer that people watch his content because it's so bad, than go and watch Nickocado Avocado because of his bad content. Nobody is really hurt in the process in the case of Dhar Man (did I spell that right?), while there are many others that we really shouldn't give our attention at all.
@@anatoliagolden-hall4553 I think most of them are bots from Asia I know we all don’t have the same standard morals but his videos are pretty cringe. I can’t imagine that many people tuning in for the same thing
I can't count how many times I've told my kids watching Dar Mann, "that's not what happens in real life."
You see the one with the guy and his chubby gf? There's a part where they bump into his black friend and his gf. I really thought guy was gonna lean in and say "a white girl... nice". The writing was so unrealistic my brain was looking for ways to make it sound like how two men would actually eff with each other. But there's a part where he's publicly fat shaming his gf. I was like "in real life he'd be stabbed with a spoon "
Why do you allow them to watch such garbage ?
@@jesussaves7973 so I can teach them how to recognize garbage through critical thinking. You know, things like organized religion.
@@jesussaves7973 She doesn't.They sneak. My two kids are grown now bt they did the same things. All their peers do it as well. It's part of the agony pf parenting, especially in this online age where if they want to see something, THEY WILL.
@@TheGenxennial so you don't have to watch them is more likely.
I would much rather watch you discuss psychology than watch any of these "influencers" Thank you for the amazing, high quality, thought out content. Very good!
Very true , well said...
I was laughing so hard at this video - how can Dr Grande keep a straight face with such brilliant delivery
It’s almost as impressive as his behavioral knowledge lol
@@SethMacLeod95 IKR!
At first I thought you said “such brilliant devilry.” You wouldn’t be wrong.
You can catch a wry smile at 6:21. I laughed too!
On the subject of instant regret: "This part does seem to accurately reflect my experience after watching several of his videos - I regretted it each time." Brilliant! Keep it up, Doc!
My roommate and I watch these when we need a good, quick laugh. I'm a *little* disappointed that you didn't throw in a "so you see" at the end. But this was still great to watch.
I see
Don't worry, that was my comment
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
It would have been hilarious if he did. What a shame to miss such a good opportunity
Omg that really would've been the cherry on top 😂
I just watched a couple of his latest videos for the first time. I'm speechless. What I found the most disturbing were the positive comments from people who take these cringe worthy videos seriously. At times, it felt like I was watching an SNL skit!
I always thought these videos were some indian english students project as the dialog is so stilted it doesnt sound like anything a native english speaker would produce.
He deletes negative comments.
@@andrewbellinger6120 I'd like to see who his actual viewers are because it really does seem like they are non-english speaking and wouldn't pick up on how bad the dialog and acting really is. It's like porn, it's straight to the point. Except I'd argue porn has better voice acting...
@@yeezynapkins2970 they’re kids
It’s worth noting that his channel’s success and the upvoting of certain comments is probably helped along by the use of large numbers of bots. At least, one would think so.
I refer to this as emotional porn. And there's absolutely NO person of good moral character who produces such drivel.
Oh and he makes oversimplified poorly written, badly acted videos because he is well aware most people are dumb enough to like it.
There is.
It's called impaulsive.
Not “people”- little children. And that is a special kind of evil, to suck little children into your bs and feed them emotional garbage when they don’t understand what is happening to them
Indeed
