Family isn't all we havel. True friends can be 10 times more powerful because they're the ones we choose to have in our life. Then those people become our true family 💜
I can understand that. I also think family can refer to our chosen family, because hopefully you have a support system, like friends and other relationships
This video is disgusting. People dont give up their children just for the fun of it, they do it because they are incapable, for whatever reason, of caring for the child. It is, in most every case, an act of love for their child, and to portray it as some horrible act is incredibly fucked up.
Also, as someone who's birth mom left because of her addictions: if I saw this when I was young it have validated my fears that she left because of the kids.
I’m sick of this whole “Family’s all you have! You don’t choose your family!” ideology in media. This kind of message is what led me to accept abusive behavior from those closest to me when I was a kid, and why it took me so long to finally get those people out of my life when I was finally an adult. At the end of the day; it doesn’t matter who they are. They don’t have a right to mistreat you, and they don’t have a right to be in your life after they’ve done so. Also, having to give up a child isn’t a bad thing. I wish my dad would’ve left me out of his life instead of forcing me to be in it, seeing how he never really wanted me there in the first place.
Omfg, this "lesson" is so effed up! I feel like the worst part, though, is that this doesn't feel that different from the way Dhar Mann looks at the world: You should be nice about ____ because the person might turn out to be rich/president/your boss someday. Except this one adds on the idea that a parent should try to take care of a kid despite absolutely terrible circumstances. Jordan is right. It feels so weirdly creepy and sinister
And that family is the only thing that matters. I hate that people are always like "trust your family" or "family is everything". Like abusive parents and adopted children don't exist-
i think (??? im entirely guessing) it's because the one picture of biden with obama in that spread is on the "N" of BIDEN... and the "N" is on Obama... who is a black man... so i guess the humor is that they could have put that picture on any of the other squares but, as is, there's the unwanted association of a word that starts with the letter N and black people. Yeah, maybe someone could have caught it, but there's a 99% chance that whoever set that up just wasnt thinking like that.
She said: "Hehehahehehehe...You outcho minnnnd. You kidding me? Yo son???😂 What-when?!" She spent the whole sketch having the time of her life laughing at the idea that she has a long lost grandson.
The whole "giving you up was a mistake" thing always makes me so mad. I'm adopted and it's just so infuriating that people are so dismissive of my family, the people who raised me and took care of me and fucked me up like every other family. The idiots who had sex in high school are just some idiots who actually made an ok decision under the circumstances.
this vilifying of adopting families in the media is so disgusting, people can have an amazing relationship with their adopted families and they can be the kindest people. why would it matter whose genetics you share, that you would dismiss the ones who cared for you... (by "you" i am talking about the fictional people here, not the commenter lol)
growing up in the social services system is terrifying and cruel but having no knowledge of what her life was like when her son was born, it easily couldve been a kindness to put him up for adoption. clearly, he had a good enough life to become president, which is far better than the chance he couldve had his mother be so neglectful that he mightve died etc - we have no idea if she was homeless or suffering from addiction etc... this idea of keep family together no matter what can do more harm than good (obviously not universally applicable)
i WISH my parents had divorced much sooner than they did, it would've saved me a massive amount of psychological trauma; so yes, i agree 100%. sometimes apart is better than together.
Wow. That video really ignored all the difficulties of giving up your child, and going through the process of being adopted. Also, finding out about unknown biological family members at such a late stage in life, while it can sometimes be enlightening, can also be traumatic. Loving your videos Jordan. X P.s. really appreciated the countdown clock theme.
Jordan, the sound of your voice woke my cat up, despite my having just been in virtual meetings for hours (meaning she's been hearing voices this whole time without waking). I can only take this to mean my cat likes you (or hates you, I suppose), so I thought you should know that. Keep up the great work, lol!
Alternate title "this adorable grandma who used to run torture black sites uses her connections for good, and then you won't believe what happens next!"
Okay, I'm going to need a CIA drama like Alias but starring the adorable giggle granny. It's unhinged propaganda, but I still need it. I cannot be reasoned with.
My favorite thing of all these types of videos is how the moral always boils down to be a good person not because its right but because there will be something in it for you
Likw, I haven't gotten to why she did it yet but there was a other video about abandoning your kid and the lady was literally struggling to feed them both and it was framed that true kid was predestined to become successful. The fa CT that a stable family took them in and could provide for the child in a way the birth mother obviously couldn't was just completely ignored, of course and I don't get that.
I'm really glad you pointed out the age thing in the video because the one younger woman the president's mother looks anywhere from 23 years old to 70 depending upon the angle and light
Honestly I was so sure that at the end he was going to reject the mom, and the lesson would be something like "if you give up on someone don't come crawling back when they're rich and powerful" (which also sucks), but it somehow managed to be even dumber???
"I gave you up because i wasn't in a situation to take care of you in the way you deserved" "I DIDN'T KNOW I WAS AN ORPHAN" damn bro, calm down, this isn't real
I’m going to ignore the pretty horrible lesson and the fact that he almost punched her in the face. Because, hey, a bearded President!! We have had one of those in some time.
I feel like there are people that exist that this can help, but most are in a BET tv drama. That said.... Didn't that Mom _really_ only seem to want to Connect with her Son because he was running for President??? Didn't this kind of stuff actually happen to Obama and some of his relatives, and the thing in common was both were looking to gain wealth from the Son they had no connection to as their primary motivation to reconnect?? I feel like the real Lesson is "Put those Babies up for Adoption, because you never know when one might hit the Jackpot!"
we dont know about her life she couldve been estranged with her mother (is that even her mom?) while she went thru that ordeal and only reconnected with her once her life was back on track
And in this dark, surreal timeline, a modern man managed to make it to president without knowing he was adopted. Alternate theory: He just believed some random crazy woman to rewrite his whole life. Either is terrifying.
imagine finding out as an adult that you're adopted, and instead at being upset at your adoptive parents for keeping that from you, you get upset at the birth parent
I would like an edit of this where the lady says the president is her son and it cuts to Howard Dean when he made that "Hwaaaaah!" noise during his presidential run
Jordan, seeing you cry with laughter @ the "six image grid" made me laugh until I cried, too. Your humor and perspective and the way you find such enjoyment in it despite all the other shit in your life and the world gives me hope every day lately. Thank you for sharing your disbelief and chuckles and wry takes. Truly love it all.
As an adopted person, I really don’t like how the fake Dhar Mann makes the play about how the adoption was a mistake. That’s very rude, inconsiderate, and disregards the life that this person who is adopted once had.
friend! totally get it because the video kept saying it but as far as adoption language goes it’s very harmful to say “giving up” for adoption dealing with real people because they are not items or things we can just “give up”. but i’m very thankful you spoke to the bs of that video and acknowledged what a LOT of people don’t that “real” family isn’t biological it’s the family who raises us and we choose. but just thought I should bring that up! saying put up for adoption is way better and less harmful language! thank you for the consistently hilarious content
Thank you for making me laugh during one of my worst times, my cat passed away this morning and it's been a rough day, but your video made me laugh and smile :)
I was so confused when the mother was just like "my son might be the next president, I dunno what to do, I need help"... I had no idea she wanted a DNA test until it was mentioned later and got SO concerned when the grandma brought up her connections with the CIA xD
You're hilarious and I love your content! One critique though: you don't have enough videos for me to binge watch while I'm at work. But seriously, you're great!
Jordan, you are amazing! Your sense of humor and commentary is beyond brilliant! Watching your videos is always a highlight of my day. Keep up the awesomeness.
Anyone else think the grandmother almost sound like the woman from princess and the frog? Mama Odie? Like maybe not always the speech, but definitely the laugh. 🤣

I also really hate the sentiment "family is all we have" mostly because of how many times it's been used to dismiss my abusive parents

I can understand that. I also think family can refer to our chosen family, because hopefully you have a support system, like friends and other relationships
"You should love your family no matter what" is a sentence i hate hearing. Especially when told to me

I think that’s just a friend of hers, they’re supposed to be similar in age
