Eh, I wouldn't prefer a series just for luxury homes. It would get old after a while. I think just him comically roasting things in different subject categories would change it up and keep it fresh.
@@SebastianOsborn Oh, I was thinking quarterly or something along those lines. Maybe even bi-annual? Too often would definitely get old, and I imagine it takes a while for the listings of things like this to cycle, but there's definitely some more big dumb luxury homes that need taken down a peg. Same premise in some other categories does sound good, though... big dumb luxury cars come to mind, as well as dumb landlord fixes.
Yeah. Often the very big expensive luxury homes are like cheap trash.... like sure, the materials are there, marble, gold, diamonds etc. but there is zero taste. Like I saw the most expensive hotelroom in the world, decorated by an artist..... yeah it was ugly a.f. and looked more like a children's bed-and-toy room then a luxury hotel room. I could put that stuff together for less than a 1000 dollars. That sort of hotel room.
My thinking tends to be that the homes are so ridiculously spacious that the people constantly think "That large portion of this room with nothing in it just looks odd" and so they fill it with non sensical crap for no other reason than to fill the space. "This couch straight up facing nothing but the wall is for SURE better than having nothing here."
@@lawlietriver8869 I think this is absolutely it. When you buy a home that has more rooms than you need, you end up filling it with crap you don't need.
"Stop existing condescendingly please" is now one of my favourite quotes. It's so cool when you casually make a Ryan George reference/quote in day-to-day life and someone gets it!
It can be kind of disappointing when no one gets it though. I had a team lead who would periodically say something was "super easy" so of course I had to say "barely an inconvenience" but no one ever knew what I was talking about.

Can confirm Lake Michigan actually looks like that Use to be a house cleaner for homes like this. So depressing to keep coming back and dusting the same 6 extra bedrooms that are filled with stuff that no one uses just for the sake of having it.
When me and my family moved from my childhood home we sold it to this kindly old lady,(Keep in mind this house held a family of 5.( 4 bedrooms 2 bath.) We made small talk about all the rooms. She talked about all the furniture and displays she was going to put and I'd say, "ah that's sounds like a nice sitting area to relax" and she'd laugh and say "It's not for sitting its for looking" after the 3rd room, I stopped saying anything as I realized this lonely old lady was going to fill the entirety of this place with unusable furniture, and displays to look nice nothing more. Don't get me wrong, it's her house now, she can do as she wants, but it definitely taught me something about myself and how my house will be fully functional.
I often go to Michigan to visit family, and there are some absolutely gorgeous homes right on the lake, but all of them have enormous floor-to-ceiling windows facing the water that 1) must cost a small fortune to heat the house in the six months of the year that it’s winter there, and 2) always make me think of someone being able to look in and watch them like in a horror movie.
@@Babe2Ruthless At least rich people can afford the better windows that are well-insulating. They're still going to be shit compared to the walls, but... nobody wants to live in a windowless sphere in the first place.

129 floors? I'm getting a nose bleed just thinking about it. Also my stomach basically just dropped because there is no f****** way I would live that high up. Nope.
What’s sad about most of these homes is that ACTUAL old mansions in upstate NY that’ve been there for a century or more and have ACTUAL history are often torn down, because the estates they’re on can be divided up for 3-4 of these things.
I bet these are the same people that come as tourists to our historical buildings in Europe and say things like OH tHeY'Re SOoOO aMaZing, wE dOn'T hAve thAt!! Very sad to hear nonetheless...
Back in 1969, I was a teenager at a summer camp near Woodstock, NY. Our bunk was in an extremely old mansion that had been built by one of the executives of the Singer Sewing Machine Company, which well over one hundred years ago was as profitable as Google or Tesla is today. The stately house had been stripped of all its furniture, but you could still see the magnificent staircase and porch that wrapped around the entire first floor. If given the choice, I'd much rather buy and renovate one of the old Singer mansions than any of the hideous monstrosities in this video.
Analyzing the purposes and practicalness of all the weird sofas really makes the video. It's so clear someone just wanted to make a big house, and then had to think of some furniture to place in it so it won't be all empty.
Yeah. It’s definitely true that money doesn’t buy taste or smell expertise. There’s this channel that I binged “Armin Haddad. He’s does these kinds of review on large homes and mansions. And you can agree with a lot of the wrong in these.
Source is probably the max height of a firefighter mobile ladder being around 100 feet or 30 meters in normal people's unit, with average at half that reaching 5th or 6th story.
I've seen other youtubers call it quits when they started making multiple channels. Don't burn yourself out, I've followed you for years and appreciate all your content!
This is true, hope Ryan sees this, hope even more that he knows this and doesn't burn out. Though I suspect these videos take a little bit less effort, so we probably will see more of these and less of the others.
In high school I used to be friends with a guy whose parents were very rich. I went to his house a few times and one of the things that stood out the most to me is that in the living room there was a couch shaped like a massive foot and we weren't allowed to sit on it because it was "an art piece"
How this man runs 3 hilarious separate channels, and takes care of his newborn daughter I will never know, but I am extremely grateful. Keep up the good work Ryan!
My best friend's parents are kinda loaded. (However, I need to point out that my friend is very humble and down to earth.) When I first came over to their newly built house, my jaw almost literally hit the floor. Huge house, with a jacuzzi, grunge-style bar filled to the brim with an enormous assortment of booze in the big basement, home theater, several expensive cars, boat, a smaller "cottage" by the sea down the road, and my favorite: a disco-glittery bathroom with a red and black theme and a crystal light fixture in the ceiling (who has that in a bathroom?!). I always feel like an intruder whenever I visit.
Sequel...yes please!! Do a sequel... Do a sequel for every video uve ever made... Call it Ryan George 2: the sequel part two continuing from the prequel. 🤷
I will be brutally honest here... These super rich mansions look soulless and not lived in whatsoever. They are incredibly artificial looking and depressing AF. The place with the theater room is cool though.
Thats because they are unlived in. My grandmother did catering for rich people. They rent their furniture for parties, most of the rooms are empty to save on maid costs, the family usually has 1 set of dishes each and that's it, they MIGHT have a coffee maker but the entire family usually lives in 2 rooms at most in the house. Caterers bring the food, dishes, and sometimes tables and chairs to events. As for style, they are looking to SPEND not to care about looks, the whole point is to show off the price tag to one-up the guests so they have to have something even fancier for their party. But everyone is just renting it so that $300k chair and $250k painting only cost them a couple hundred bucks for the weekend anyways.
These houses are probably not currently being lived in. And there's a good chance that the furnishings are not what was in use when whoever was living there was in the house. It's not uncommon to remove everything personal from a higher-end home and have it professionally staged for photography.
@@littlekong7685 this, had a simillar experience most of the big houses where empty and people only had the bare minimum to hang out there the 3 days a year they go visit.
@@littlekong7685 Thank you for confirming what I have long suspected! If anyone lives in these ghastly places, they live in a few rooms in one corner of the house and never venture into the rest of the place.
That is fascinating, I always thought shitty shit colored water was just everything north of the Caribbean...like they don't really need to bother with the no swimming signs around here because you would have to be Mr Beast to even convince people to dip a toe in our lakes.
Grew up in the region, the beaches have always been great but the lake has certainly changed a bit. The mussels are altering the color, Lake Huron especially is the brightest shade of teal now. It's beautiful, though it does put the lakes at a larger risk for toxic green algae blooms 😬
@@kray3883 FWIW the beaches in Scotland are absolutely stunning, golden and white sands with water the most amazing shades of teal and turquoise. Unfortunately the water is cold enough to make your teeth hurt. We still send our children out to swim in it, of course. It's a rite of passage.
@@gordon1545 Wild. I really feel like my area must have been at the back of the line when beaches were being handed out. People here will rent a whole beach house and drive eight hours to maybe look at the water a bit and then do anything else for the rest of the week.
@3:33 - Chicagoan here. Can confirm, Lake Michigan 'can' look like that. Although those photos looked sus. Lake Michigan is waaaay bigger than people realize and the view from a high-rise is wonderful. It's absolutely beautiful, but Very expensive! ...

@@LaurenceLionKing I know. Second channel is in quotes in my original comment because I'm not referring to a number of channels. Rather, I'm referring to the style. Lots of people run a second channel that's dedicated to random, verbose, or low effort content. This channel is called "extra plus" for that reason, but the content quality is incredible anyway.
I always thought I would never watch a random guy on TH-cam just talking about random things. I hate those videos. Until Ryan George. Because Ryan George.
the height of the central park tower is 472m Assuming no air resistance, V² = U² + 2AS therefore V (terminal velocity) is the square root of (0² + 2* |-9.81| *472) V is then -96.2322191 MS¯¹ This is equivalent to 346km/h, or 215mph
I've done contracting work in a couple of multi-million dollar homes, and yes, the owners are exactly what you would expect them to be like. I always loved the staff though. They would take care of you like they were your best friend. One place we worked, the lady had Godiva chocolate delivered to her daily. She ended up going out of town (probably because she didn't want us to see her) halfway through our job and the staff would give me the Godiva to take home on those days.
Godiva chocolate delivered to me daily is exactly the sort of stupid ness I would do if I had millions of dollars. I would get a froyo place installed *inside* my ugly mansion. I would be 450 pounds in less than a year.
Why do none of these homes have a swimming pool full of gold and precious stones? If it is good enough for Scrooge McDuck, it has to be good enough for someone else.
A 20 to 7 ratio of bathrooms to bedrooms though. Maybe rich isn't about the things we used to think it was; like how the future turned out to be about smart phones and not flying cars.
Peter Griffin already demonstrated that perfectly. Mythbuster not being cartoon characters have never tried it 'cause having less than a meter of coins poured on someone lying in a large tub would be burying them in several tons of cold hard cash: the victim would be crushed lifeless before getting a chance to try wriggling out of there.
If you are talking about what I think you're talking about - and I think you are - what you really are thinking of is his money vault that he dives into and swims around as if he's in a pool. I would like to see a crossover movie of old rich crazy misers: Scrooge McDuck, Ritchie Rich, Daddy Warbucks, Montgomery Burns, that dude from Citizen Kane. They could have like a secret society. Not really sure if they're supposed to be the bad guys or the good guys. Probably bad? I guess that means I can't include Tony Stark and Bruce Wayne.
Yes it's just embarrassing, like you have no confidence in yourself so you've got a big house. And you don't like people so let's have a lot of space between us. This is a huge problem because in my experience a really good party always involves the house being jut a bit too small for the party. You want people crashing into eachother and squeezing past it's what helps create the energy. In these places all the energy is dissipated. You feel like you're in a museum or a shopping mall. There's no attachment to the inclusions either. They are just there, looking sad. SAD!
"Dumb chandelier" had me giggling uncontrollably, and I don't even know why. The quick, almost throwaway, gags always tickle my funny bone, apparently.
Worse than realizing that you forgot your phone when you get to the 129th floor is realizing it on the elevator UP to the 129th floor and realizing that you have to take the rest of the ride before you can do anything about it.
@@2WhiteAndNerdyI’d be surprised if the “penthouse floor” doesn’t have its own personal lift into the unit: the lift doors probably open straight up into the home (i.e. this unit probably doesn’t have a “front door”).
Excuse you! As a bidet user, I come from *at most* an upper middle-class household. In this house, we are of the common ilk. *sniffs imperiously* Do not deign to presume that I have excessive privilege as I am one of you. Nah, but in seriousness, bidets are pretty much standard in Japan and certain other countries of the world. 😂 Kinda curious, innit? 🤔
Imagine paying $150,000,000 to live in an apartment building. And not even the whole building. You still have apartment neighbors, and have to walk into a building that other people live in and take that awkward elevator ride with them and have small talk about the weather and groceries and the price of gas.
to be fair, countries that are less suburban-cucked have many expensive luxury apartments because people don't like living far away from culture and expensive restaurants. I don't know exactly what are the prices for places in Lotte World Tower in Seoul for example, but I know that many KPop starts live there.
The worse part is never having privacy with all sorts of staff around fixing and cutting or cooking this or that. You basically live at a resort. Privacy away from people is the ultimate luxury.
"Stop existing condescendingly, please." I love everything Ryan says and does. The lights thing is so true too. You have to expect Batman or Harry Potter to fly through them while you're eating.
Ryan George introduces "Zillow should have a comments section." If a family of Ryans roasted real estate listings a la MST3K, we would have a great new channel.
I never tire of both making fun of luxury homes or hearing others do so. You nailed it & would watch more of these. It always surprises me how many of these homes are places I would never even consider living in. Besides, while I have an obsession with cool houses in general, I realized at an early age that even if I had a mansion, I'd still just hole up in one room at my computer day after day.
My dad used to inspect homes for an insurance company, everything from old houses with mossy roofs to fancy expensive mansions. He once saw a 1.2 million dollar... staircase. Not the whole home, just the staircase.
I came back to this video just to figure out if it's AI because usually I'm pretty good at being able to tell. It's not that the taste is bad but some of the details look off. AI images often look aesthetically pleasing until you notice the mistakes.
3:00 riiiiiight? You ping it and you just hear a far away echo no matter what room you’re in. “It keep sounding like it’s in the next room but when I go in there it sounds like it’s in the room I just came from!!!”

Well considering you have a job, are literate, and have access to the internet, you're rich compared to a lot of people in the world and throughout history.
I was having a pretty rough day, having some heated arguments with the wife this morning (could have used one of them benches) car’s broken again so had to wait in the rain for a bus to get to my terrible job, but my manager just found me crying with laughter in the break room watching this so thank you; awesome video
All of this was just so funny!! ...but there is a much more basic reason to feel better about these properties: The fact that they're up for sale means thet someone made a considerable financial and creative investment in building such an overwhelmingly ideal personal space; their perfect dream home ...and now they have to get rid of it.
For some reason I read the title as 'Don't make fun of big dumb luxury homes.' I was like why? And then I thought about it. Maybe the home is challenged and it can't help. We should all be nice to the home, it's not its fault much like a child doesn't choose their parents, a home doesn't choose its creator(s) or owner(s). 🙂

@krabgrass a person with that house would be a wealthy snowbird who only comes in the nice winter months.
I know someone with a huge house, and if she goes away in winter, on returning it takes a whole WEEK for the house to warm up again.
A week? No place is worth freezing your @ off! for a freaking week!!! They have several homes, of course....SMH!

129 floors? I'm getting a nose bleed just thinking about it. Also my stomach basically just dropped because there is no f****** way I would live that high up. Nope.
What’s sad about most of these homes is that ACTUAL old mansions in upstate NY that’ve been there for a century or more and have ACTUAL history are often torn down, because the estates they’re on can be divided up for 3-4 of these things.
All over California too. People have no respect for history. 😭
I bet these are the same people that come as tourists to our historical buildings in Europe and say things like OH tHeY'Re SOoOO aMaZing, wE dOn'T hAve thAt!! Very sad to hear nonetheless...
Back in 1969, I was a teenager at a summer camp near Woodstock, NY. Our bunk was in an extremely old mansion that had been built by one of the executives of the Singer Sewing Machine Company, which well over one hundred years ago was as profitable as Google or Tesla is today. The stately house had been stripped of all its furniture, but you could still see the magnificent staircase and porch that wrapped around the entire first floor. If given the choice, I'd much rather buy and renovate one of the old Singer mansions than any of the hideous monstrosities in this video.
And because houses are depreciating assets that burn cash near the end of their useful lives, especially when they are large.
It is so gross - such an incredible waste.
Analyzing the purposes and practicalness of all the weird sofas really makes the video. It's so clear someone just wanted to make a big house, and then had to think of some furniture to place in it so it won't be all empty.
No need to call out all of my Sims 4 builds
Yeah. It’s definitely true that money doesn’t buy taste or smell expertise.
There’s this channel that I binged “Armin Haddad. He’s does these kinds of review on large homes and mansions. And you can agree with a lot of the wrong in these.

"That's too many floors!" So true. Keep in mind that if there's a fire, firefighters have a good chance of rescuing you only if you're on floor 1-6.
Yeah I wonder what your chances are if you're on the 129th floor.
Do you have sources to cite for this?
Source is probably the max height of a firefighter mobile ladder being around 100 feet or 30 meters in normal people's unit, with average at half that reaching 5th or 6th story.
that's why high-rises have fire doors at stairwells instead - it's meant to keep the fire in one floor and give firefighters time to get there.

In high school I used to be friends with a guy whose parents were very rich. I went to his house a few times and one of the things that stood out the most to me is that in the living room there was a couch shaped like a massive foot and we weren't allowed to sit on it because it was "an art piece"

If you watched his other channel you'll know there's actually multiple of him. So it makes sense.
My best friend's parents are kinda loaded. (However, I need to point out that my friend is very humble and down to earth.) When I first came over to their newly built house, my jaw almost literally hit the floor. Huge house, with a jacuzzi, grunge-style bar filled to the brim with an enormous assortment of booze in the big basement, home theater, several expensive cars, boat, a smaller "cottage" by the sea down the road, and my favorite: a disco-glittery bathroom with a red and black theme and a crystal light fixture in the ceiling (who has that in a bathroom?!). I always feel like an intruder whenever I visit.
@9:30 : D'awwwww, is over already? ...Hey, can we have a sequel?
Seconded

Sequel...yes please!!

Call it Ryan George 2: the sequel part two continuing from the prequel. 🤷
Literally said the same thing lol
One of the best vids he’s ever done genuinely funny af - def want a sequel
I will be brutally honest here... These super rich mansions look soulless and not lived in whatsoever. They are incredibly artificial looking and depressing AF. The place with the theater room is cool though.
Thats because they are unlived in. My grandmother did catering for rich people. They rent their furniture for parties, most of the rooms are empty to save on maid costs, the family usually has 1 set of dishes each and that's it, they MIGHT have a coffee maker but the entire family usually lives in 2 rooms at most in the house. Caterers bring the food, dishes, and sometimes tables and chairs to events.
As for style, they are looking to SPEND not to care about looks, the whole point is to show off the price tag to one-up the guests so they have to have something even fancier for their party. But everyone is just renting it so that $300k chair and $250k painting only cost them a couple hundred bucks for the weekend anyways.
These houses are probably not currently being lived in. And there's a good chance that the furnishings are not what was in use when whoever was living there was in the house. It's not uncommon to remove everything personal from a higher-end home and have it professionally staged for photography.
@@johnnyjoseph1389 You mean professionally staged to look terrible? That explains things.
@@littlekong7685 this, had a simillar experience most of the big houses where empty and people only had the bare minimum to hang out there the 3 days a year they go visit.
@@littlekong7685 Thank you for confirming what I have long suspected! If anyone lives in these ghastly places, they live in a few rooms in one corner of the house and never venture into the rest of the place.
I'm from Chicago, and yes, our lakefront does look like that. The city has 30 miles of lakefront, and 26 of those miles are public parks.
It's true. But not always. The same way the sky isn't always quite that blue as in the picture.
That is fascinating, I always thought shitty shit colored water was just everything north of the Caribbean...like they don't really need to bother with the no swimming signs around here because you would have to be Mr Beast to even convince people to dip a toe in our lakes.
Grew up in the region, the beaches have always been great but the lake has certainly changed a bit. The mussels are altering the color, Lake Huron especially is the brightest shade of teal now. It's beautiful, though it does put the lakes at a larger risk for toxic green algae blooms 😬
@@kray3883 FWIW the beaches in Scotland are absolutely stunning, golden and white sands with water the most amazing shades of teal and turquoise. Unfortunately the water is cold enough to make your teeth hurt. We still send our children out to swim in it, of course. It's a rite of passage.
@@gordon1545 Wild. I really feel like my area must have been at the back of the line when beaches were being handed out. People here will rent a whole beach house and drive eight hours to maybe look at the water a bit and then do anything else for the rest of the week.
@3:33 - Chicagoan here. Can confirm, Lake Michigan 'can' look like that. Although those photos looked sus. Lake Michigan is waaaay bigger than people realize and the view from a high-rise is wonderful. It's absolutely beautiful, but Very expensive! ...

Never has a "second channel" been as top notch at Ryan George Extra Plus Exclamation Point
It's a third channel actually.
@@LaurenceLionKing I know. Second channel is in quotes in my original comment because I'm not referring to a number of channels. Rather, I'm referring to the style. Lots of people run a second channel that's dedicated to random, verbose, or low effort content. This channel is called "extra plus" for that reason, but the content quality is incredible anyway.

“That’s the most condescending grass I’ve ever seen”😂😂 brilliant. Next episode !
Thats where the cons descend
I’m wondering what the terminal velocity of a poop going down from the 129th floor would be. I worry myself sometimes.
I don't think the pop would make it down if you know what I mean 😂
Also it is an interesting variation on the old one about whether dropping a 10 cent coin off of the Empire State Building could kill someone.
the height of the central park tower is 472m
Assuming no air resistance, V² = U² + 2AS
therefore V (terminal velocity) is the square root of (0² + 2* |-9.81| *472)
V is then -96.2322191 MS¯¹
This is equivalent to 346km/h, or 215mph

I've done contracting work in a couple of multi-million dollar homes, and yes, the owners are exactly what you would expect them to be like. I always loved the staff though. They would take care of you like they were your best friend. One place we worked, the lady had Godiva chocolate delivered to her daily. She ended up going out of town (probably because she didn't want us to see her) halfway through our job and the staff would give me the Godiva to take home on those days.
Godiva chocolate delivered to me daily is exactly the sort of stupid ness I would do if I had millions of dollars.
I would get a froyo place installed *inside* my ugly mansion.
I would be 450 pounds in less than a year.
I suspect that these types of homes are more for events than for personal use.
@@zammmerjammer Oh boy do I have a Key and Peele sketch for you
I was a nanny for many years for a wealthy family in a newly built mansion in New England. It is ridiculous how they live.
@Maureen14, tell all, dish, please :)
Yes, Lake Michigan is gorgeous and kind of looks tropical in pictures.
Why do none of these homes have a swimming pool full of gold and precious stones?
If it is good enough for Scrooge McDuck, it has to be good enough for someone else.
A 20 to 7 ratio of bathrooms to bedrooms though. Maybe rich isn't about the things we used to think it was; like how the future turned out to be about smart phones and not flying cars.
Maybe more pools of coins would be around if people ever learned how to swim in them like Scrooge could. Maybe he can because he is a duck.
Peter Griffin already demonstrated that perfectly. Mythbuster not being cartoon characters have never tried it 'cause having less than a meter of coins poured on someone lying in a large tub would be burying them in several tons of cold hard cash: the victim would be crushed lifeless before getting a chance to try wriggling out of there.
Sounds painful for one and two it's perfect for anyone to steal, even with cameras.
If you are talking about what I think you're talking about - and I think you are - what you really are thinking of is his money vault that he dives into and swims around as if he's in a pool.
I would like to see a crossover movie of old rich crazy misers: Scrooge McDuck, Ritchie Rich, Daddy Warbucks, Montgomery Burns, that dude from Citizen Kane. They could have like a secret society.
Not really sure if they're supposed to be the bad guys or the good guys. Probably bad? I guess that means I can't include Tony Stark and Bruce Wayne.
"well, at least they look good"
"they dont"

I enjoy most of your videos, but this is one of the best ones, in my opinion. Please continue to do videos with concepts like this.
Those Houses are like the people who own them: dead and empty inside.
Yes it's just embarrassing, like you have no confidence in yourself so you've got a big house. And you don't like people so let's have a lot of space between us.
This is a huge problem because in my experience a really good party always involves the house being jut a bit too small for the party. You want people crashing into eachother and squeezing past it's what helps create the energy. In these places all the energy is dissipated. You feel like you're in a museum or a shopping mall. There's no attachment to the inclusions either. They are just there, looking sad. SAD!
"Dumb chandelier" had me giggling uncontrollably, and I don't even know why. The quick, almost throwaway, gags always tickle my funny bone, apparently.
"This statue sucks at basketball"
At first I was like "What do you mean, that's a normal, nice-looking chandelier -" and then I realized it was IN THE CLOSET
And that “dumb chandelier” probably costs more than my house.
“These chairs have butt cracks”
Heyshutup.
I want more of these kind of videos. I was laughing all the way through.
Worse than realizing that you forgot your phone when you get to the 129th floor is realizing it on the elevator UP to the 129th floor and realizing that you have to take the rest of the ride before you can do anything about it.
Peak First World Problems.
Watch in horror as some kid pulls the move from Elf: "It looks like a Christmas tree!" 😭
Just get off on another floor, bro
@@2WhiteAndNerdyI’d be surprised if the “penthouse floor” doesn’t have its own personal lift into the unit: the lift doors probably open straight up into the home (i.e. this unit probably doesn’t have a “front door”).
If you live in this house, you could probably tell the chauffeur waiting for you to get someone to bring it to you.
Leave it to Ryan George to make you feel good about not being a millionaire! Thanks Ryan!
1:39 Most wealthy people have bidets in their homes. Toilet paper is for us peasants. LOL
Excuse you! As a bidet user, I come from *at most* an upper middle-class household. In this house, we are of the common ilk. *sniffs imperiously* Do not deign to presume that I have excessive privilege as I am one of you.
Nah, but in seriousness, bidets are pretty much standard in Japan and certain other countries of the world. 😂 Kinda curious, innit? 🤔
Toilet paper is still used even with bidets. At least that's how I know it to be commonly used in Italy.
Bro my mom's house had a legit standalone bidet in the master bath right next to the toilet and they removed it!! I wish I could be so lucky
Dude, this is legitimately one of the funniest things I’ve ever watched. The Ryan George brand of comedy is undefeated.
Isn't it just?
Imagine paying $150,000,000 to live in an apartment building. And not even the whole building. You still have apartment neighbors, and have to walk into a building that other people live in and take that awkward elevator ride with them and have small talk about the weather and groceries and the price of gas.
I will bet you they have a private elevator. But otherwise, yeah.
"Gas is quite expensive lately, isn't it?"
"Yeah I... I have no idea... I've lost any concept of what money really is"
if you live there chances are you are the one that chooses the price gas will be
to be fair, countries that are less suburban-cucked have many expensive luxury apartments because people don't like living far away from culture and expensive restaurants. I don't know exactly what are the prices for places in Lotte World Tower in Seoul for example, but I know that many KPop starts live there.
🤣🤣🤣🤣
The worse part is never having privacy with all sorts of staff around fixing and cutting or cooking this or that. You basically live at a resort. Privacy away from people is the ultimate luxury.

I never tire of both making fun of luxury homes or hearing others do so. You nailed it & would watch more of these.
It always surprises me how many of these homes are places I would never even consider living in.
Besides, while I have an obsession with cool houses in general, I realized at an early age that even if I had a mansion, I'd still just hole up in one room at my computer day after day.
My dad used to inspect homes for an insurance company, everything from old houses with mossy roofs to fancy expensive mansions. He once saw a 1.2 million dollar... staircase. Not the whole home, just the staircase.
I have to wonder what was done. Anyway, thee homes are more for hosting events than anything.
The staircase got Ivana Trump in the end...
The worst part is the question of “IS THIS AI OR DO PEOPLE HAVE HORRIBLE TASTE?????”
AI had to learn it from somewhere, didn't it?
I came back to this video just to figure out if it's AI because usually I'm pretty good at being able to tell. It's not that the taste is bad but some of the details look off. AI images often look aesthetically pleasing until you notice the mistakes.
3:00 riiiiiight? You ping it and you just hear a far away echo no matter what room you’re in. “It keep sounding like it’s in the next room but when I go in there it sounds like it’s in the room I just came from!!!”
