I don't think Rodrick is the normal one, since when I was just a kid. I used to think Greg is the normal one, and now I think Rodrick is normal. Therefore, I think u will think who is normal depending on your age.
Frank isn’t a deadbeat, he’s trapped. The civil war set up was a hobby. He found something he liked doing and did it on his free time. Susan keeps controlling his actions and money, so he’s constantly frustrated. Every time he finds an outlet, Susan attacks him for it. Can you blame him for being protective? Dog? Susan gives it away. Civil war figures? Susan throws them away. Susan on the other hand gets to have her friends, soap operas, and gossip group, she has hobbies. Frank isn’t allowed to because he needs to be making money, not having fun. Unfortunately, many women seem to have this idea today.

@@lakakarelthat’s not all he does he’s sorry of a combination of manny (except Greg nor Rodrick is anywhere near as bad as that menace) and Greg. I’m tired of hearing everyone say Rodrick is normal when really no one is. In the new books they’re both good, just trying to live their lives. TL:DR: they’re both bad but have gotten better in the new books
@@lakakarel Respectfully, I wouldn’t say bullying. Rodrick puts Greg in a van full of instruments and no seatbelts. A drum weighs 40 pounds when empty, and up to 500 when full. Greg’s lucky he survived. He also guilt tripped Greg into stealing. Rodrick is my favorite character though and the most normal
Fun fact: Manny is actually a human. From Greg's perspective, he draw Manny in an ugly and inhuman way. But from Rowley, Greg's best friend, Rowley is considerable enough to draw Manny like how he draws the characters like humans in his diary.
Tbh I thought the more the uglier her drew the characters the more he despised them. I don’t think he despised his brother bc they were siblings, different for Manny 💀
Literally one of the most non-physically abusive families in the fiction universe. The mom favorites her toddler, causing him to be spoiled and entitled. The dad has no spine, and literally ignores his family. Greg has no social awareness, and most definitely has narcissism. Manny is a spoiled brat who is way too smart for his age, and manipulates his family into getting what he wants. And Rodrick is as normal as a teenager can get. What a family
Susan: Karen Frank: deadbeat + manchild Rodrick: mean to his brothers, but he is actually pretty normal. Greg: sociopath, unfunny simp Manny: do I even have to explain?
4:08 actually, in the book, when Greg wipes off the mustard, manny says the hot dog is “tainted” so Greg has to make him a new one and messes it up again and has to make ANOTHER hot dog this time doing it right 💀
Let's be real, after reading Rowley's diary we finally saw the type of person Greg really is. Rowley's just gullible and doesn't realize Greg's just a terrible person
0:59 me and my friends literally went to my schools football pitch and placed a diary of a wimpy kid book in the middle and we all surrounded it and tried to summon Manny😭😭😭
6:37 Tbf, some babies used to sleep dresser drawers back in *YE OLDEN DAYS* (particularly in low-income households, where people had to innovate for little of nothing) because cribs were not as mainstream as they are today. When they got big, they slept in a regular bed.
Still doesn’t excuse Susan for neglecting Greg’s safety and wellbeing even after being born. She could’ve just put the dresser on the floor or just given Rodrick’s crib to Greg and have Rodrick sleep either on a mattress or with her and Frank in their bed until they could afford to buy a bed for him.
As much as I loved Steve Zahn's portrayal of Frank Heffley, you have to admit that he's fairly inaccurate to the book; they made him way too goofy and likable.
@@lbrett7054 a lot of the book portrayals aren’t really likable when it comes to movie translation. That’s why the long-haul movie was so despised despite being more accurate to the sociopathic family depiction.
Something I've noticed in the Heffley family is how the main four (Greg, Rodrick, Susan, and Frank) all have no details in their ears, but Manny does. Now this might be a stretch and I don't know if Jeff intentionally made it that way, but I think Susan has cheated on Frank.
I’ve been starting to think that as well, especially after this interesting exchange between an adult Greg and a middle aged Susan Heffley in an animated version of the fanfic 25 Years Later: Susan: “Greg, there’s something you need to know about Manny. He was a mistake.” Greg: “Mom? What are you talking about?” Susan: ”… Let’s not get into it.”
As a diary of a whimpy kid fan this is exactly how i feel about every character except for Rodrick, He's my favorite character out of the five. Also, good video btw man.
After reading the 10th and further episodes of my favorite book, Wimpy kid, I found out that there was something really wrong with this family, which this somehow led me to love this book even more and never forget about how of a fun chaotic this story was. Edit: 2:49 Ngl, imagine your little bro putting a cookie inside your Xbox 360 instead of DVD. And as a guy who has Xbox 360, I would take that as a lil bro's joke or prank which would even led me to laugh too. But I would also be mad if my good old Console would be broken because of that lol
Some things I would like to point out about Manny: First of all, he is almost certainly more than 3. I just assume that he uses that as an excuse because he heard his mother use it at some point and just adopted it from there. Second, with the whole hot dog mustard thing, he did not force Greg to wipe off the mustard. He forced Greg to make a WHOLE NEW hotdog because putting the mustard on the wrong way tainted it or something
@@Onyks567 okay, Rodrick and Greg are the only normal ones. They act like how most high/middle schoolers act, especially now in 2024 (so they’re both ahead of their time).
@@Golden_Deus I respectfully disagree, though to be fair, I still think the Heffleys are dysfunctional, and I’m not just talking about Greg’s immediate family.

@@БогданКрименюк Why anybody collects anything? Outside of that he might had spent a lot of money/time painting them or outright making the scenary himself.

The thing I’m amazed about is the fact the newspaper covered a middle school soccer game. Idk if it’s a small town or whatever but that must be a really slow news day.
For the part where Susan Heffely was dancing, to be fair she didnt mean to capture the attention of the audience, and just was being herself. But all the other stuff bout her I agree!
Then maybe she shouldn't, oh I don't know, go on stage in front of everyone. Dance however you want, raise your arms while in the crowd, record the music for later, cheer on your child. That's all fine. But going to her son's performance and doing what she did is just wrong unless she were asked to do that. That's not being herself, that's stealing attention when she was meant to be there for support, unless stealing attention and ruining her son's image and reputation is being herself, which honestly seems like it is. So yeah, you could say she was being herself, if by "being herself" you mean attention hogging at the cost of your children's livelyhoods, then yeah, she is quite often being herself.
Susan: Karen and Show - off Frank: puppet adult obsessed with civil war figurines Manny: Psychopath Rodrick: the only sane person in the family Greg: simp Edit: OMG GUYS THNAK YOU SO MUCH FOR 37 LIKES!!!
It’s all just for humor, bruh. I kid you not, I sometimes tell my gen X dad “In Diary of a Wimpy Kid…” and then tell him about a funny moment in the books. To that, I thank Jeff for all the material. One time, I told my dad about the Manny hot dog thing and he cracked up.
In general, not really. Rodrick is still quite a pain in the neck. He just isn't as bad as his other family members. He definitely deserves better than this unhinged family though.
10:26 there is a bit of context in this picture: The teens in the illustration are not his band mates but are other teens from the neighborhood attracted by his music in the garage. edit: 13:18 Greg asked Rodrick to give him his essay BECAUSE he thought his essay was written by dad. But later finds out that dad only started writing Rodrick essays after 6th grade. So Rodrick gives Greg a actual essay from Rodrick 6th grade.
@@TimothySamuel-os2zw possibly, but i think his parents terrible parenting has influenced him in some way shape or form into doing fvcked up sh!t yk and that all just got too much for him
As a model painter I can understand why frank doesn’t want anyone near the models for his civil war diorama as models can be pretty fragile and really expensive to buy
Honestly, I wouldn't mind seeing a book from Rodrick's perspective. One where he explains how dysfunctional his family is and how his family compares to others. Well, something like that.
This family is the farthest from normal I’ve possibly ever seen. Insane how Rodrick is the most normal character when in reality the book wants everyone to think he's the bad guy. Let's be fr, we all loved Greg when we were young but now growing up you can see that it's a complete 180.
I think the book portrays Rodrick as the villain to distract the kids reading it from just how bad the parents are. Everyone know Greg and Manny are horrible
Honestly, in my opinion, calling Greg a sociopath is going a bit far. He’s a middle schooler. Not just any middle schooler, a middle school boy; of which the majority exhibit behaviors that can be mistaken for sociopathy. As for his parents and little brother, yeah they suck. Though Frank being protective of his stuff is understandable given how expensive miniatures can get… TL;DR Greg isn’t sociopathic, he’s just your average middle school jerk
I must admit, I felt the same back in the day. Those glasses? I'd have gone for those to look around at all the girΙs in all the schools. Whilst I did actually get quite close to quite a few girIs back in those times, it never really went anywhere, and I was still a Greg on the inside.
Susan: selfish Karen Frank: deadbeat man-child Greg: Narcissistic sociopath Manny: being taught to be a sociopath Rowley: never taught to grow up by his parents, emotionally stunted. Rodrick: a normal teenager
@@LeonLacey-xr3tf his parents treat him like a lil kid but that's probably just the way his parents are trying to protect him from the stuff he's too young to know (although they do go a lil extreme with it)
I just realized Susan Heffley acts quite similar to my little brother’s bio dad’s adopted mom. This little brother was a baby I got pregnant with in high school and my parents were kind enough to adopt him and raise him as their own. But yeah his biological paternal adoptive grandmother is so similar to Susan Heffley it’s crazy to think about.
So your boyfriend or the guy you hooked up with foster mom is that what you mean but also hows the kid doing glad the kid was able to stay in the family 😊
Every DOAWK character’s problem: Frank - Abusive Susan - Karen Greg - Simp Manny - Spoiled Brat Rowley - Treated like a baby Rodrick is the only normal person, he is just a normal teenager.
The fact that Rodrick is the normal person in the family was one of the reasons why I had a big ass crush on him in elementary school. Greg has a shit ton of red flags like the rest of the family
Even when I was a younger kid I always thought that Greg was a sociopathic brat. I remember reading the books and reading how Greg literally broke Rowleys arm and then got mad when all the girls wanted to make sure he was okay. Was this seen as normal middle school boy behavior??
2:18 i actually did use a car when i was 3 and it was like this: i was a 3 year old little baby and i was sitting in the backseat of my grandparents car(only me,my grandma and the driver aka my grandpa was there)and while my grandpa was driving i wanted to get on his lap and my grandpa let me sit on his lap then i attempted to drive the car and İ ALMOST CRASHED THE CAR but thankfully my grandma grabbed me,put me back into the backseat and nobody was hurt
Actually, Greg attempted to throw it away the moment Manny gave it to him and that’s when his mom made him not; after Rowley sat on it Greg threw it away but he felt like his mother wouldn’t argue now.
Greg: Physiotherapical Brother Manny: NOT HUMAN. Susan: a person who doesn’t know what ‘Punishment’ means Frank: the same person as Susan but is obsessed with civil war toys Rodrick: The goat the only person with a singular braincell

thanks for reminding lol
Listening to this mf yap is actually therapy
true
huh?
Yeh
I truly did order a Yappuchino this time, and I am satisfied
It’s all just for humor, bruh. I kid you not, I sometimes tell my gen X dad “In Diary of a Wimpy Kid…” and then tell him about a funny moment in the books. To that, I thank Jeff for all the material. One time, I told my dad about the Manny hot dog thing and he cracked up.
the whole family sucks except for rodrick
Fr
Manny is definitely the worst
Agreed
In general, not really. Rodrick is still quite a pain in the neck. He just isn't as bad as his other family members. He definitely deserves better than this unhinged family though.
@@yoshifan-n4nno joke
Susan: controlling
Frank: ignorant
Manny: satan
Greg: selfish
Rodrick: a bit of a jerk
10:26 there is a bit of context in this picture: The teens in the illustration are not his band mates but are other teens from the neighborhood attracted by his music in the garage.
edit: 13:18 Greg asked Rodrick to give him his essay BECAUSE he thought his essay was written by dad. But later finds out that dad only started writing Rodrick essays after 6th grade. So Rodrick gives Greg a actual essay from Rodrick 6th grade.

*löded diper
I think they might have as of Diaper Overlode
@@doughboywhineno they didn't
Nah Rodrick doesn't deserve that.
Imagine getting Manny and Caillou collab 💀
My sanity would be cooked if that actually happened.
The world would be in an apololyspe
We would die 💀
To me Manny looks like an onion. He has a weird snout and also looks like a satisfying squish cube(styrofoam)
At least Caillou became more nicer and less evil in the cgi reboot
3:16 so his mom dosen’t get in trouble?? Interesting 🤣

As a model painter I can understand why frank doesn’t want anyone near the models for his civil war diorama as models can be pretty fragile and really expensive to buy
Honestly, I wouldn't mind seeing a book from Rodrick's perspective. One where he explains how dysfunctional his family is and how his family compares to others. Well, something like that.
I would love
I am 16 and I still read Diary of a Wimpy Kid when new books come out.
You say that like it's not normal?
who doesnt? doawk is literally just good like that
@@BrandonsStuff0 i underrstand and relate. i still buy them too (well i get them bought for me not spoilt ITS A BOOK🤭) also whats a doawk
@@LeonLacey-xr3tf doawk is short for diary of a wimpy kid i was just too lazy to type it out
00:02 Burdie? I thought I was watching wurdie!

Are Wurdie and Birdie the same?
@@josuepico753 yes
This family is the farthest from normal I’ve possibly ever seen. Insane how Rodrick is the most normal character when in reality the book wants everyone to think he's the bad guy. Let's be fr, we all loved Greg when we were young but now growing up you can see that it's a complete 180.
13:31 he knew rodrick got old papers but he realized it was meant to be typed up not written which was what rodrick gave him later
also ion think it was for him to read infront of the class
I think the book portrays Rodrick as the villain to distract the kids reading it from just how bad the parents are. Everyone know Greg and Manny are horrible
hold up i literally saw you in an emswizzle community tab comment section not even 20 minutes ago, like do we just watch the exact same youtubers 💀
Honestly, in my opinion, calling Greg a sociopath is going a bit far. He’s a middle schooler. Not just any middle schooler, a middle school boy; of which the majority exhibit behaviors that can be mistaken for sociopathy. As for his parents and little brother, yeah they suck. Though Frank being protective of his stuff is understandable given how expensive miniatures can get…
TL;DR Greg isn’t sociopathic, he’s just your average middle school jerk
I kinda was the same simp in mid school as well
I must admit, I felt the same back in the day. Those glasses? I'd have gone for those to look around at all the girΙs in all the schools. Whilst I did actually get quite close to quite a few girIs back in those times, it never really went anywhere, and I was still a Greg on the inside.
I wouldn't say that he's an exaggerated middle schooler but still not a sociopath.
This is why rodrick is my favourite DOAWK charecter
Manny could literally start World War III and he still wouldn’t get punished
Manny: Sends secret FBI info to Russia and China
Also Manny: I’m only thwee
Fr zawg
Susan: selfish Karen
Frank: deadbeat man-child
Greg: Narcissistic sociopath
Manny: being taught to be a sociopath
Rowley: never taught to grow up by his parents, emotionally stunted.
Rodrick: a normal teenager
Manny is more of a psychopath, he was probably BORN like this
Frank is actually just so controlled that he is going insane
You mean a braindead teenager who loves to hurt his brother.
1:17 "I didnt cheat"
The child in question:
You should do a tier list on the characters from Diary of a Wimpy Kid
rodrick and rowley would probably be the only s tiers since rodrick is the only normal guy and rowley deserves so much better than greg
@@BrandonsStuff0 and his parents treat him like hes 5 years old not 12 or smth
@@LeonLacey-xr3tf his parents treat him like a lil kid but that's probably just the way his parents are trying to protect him from the stuff he's too young to know (although they do go a lil extreme with it)
@@BrandonsStuff0yes, also, he cannot even tie his shoes at MIDDLE SCHOOL AGE
Rodrick seems pretty dang normal for someone who was raised in this household.
Heffley Family sumed up
Greg: Sociopath and SIMP
Frank: Manchild
Susan: Nag
Manny: Brat
Rodrick just trynna have fun
I’m convinced Fregley is more normal than Manny

He's just ADHD, not alien.
id say fregly is more normal than half the heffley fam
@@xinpingdonohoe3978 adhd makes u hyper, not weird af
@@CircusFleshDefinitely Manny and Susan
I just realized Susan Heffley acts quite similar to my little brother’s bio dad’s adopted mom. This little brother was a baby I got pregnant with in high school and my parents were kind enough to adopt him and raise him as their own. But yeah his biological paternal adoptive grandmother is so similar to Susan Heffley it’s crazy to think about.
So your boyfriend or the guy you hooked up with foster mom is that what you mean but also hows the kid doing glad the kid was able to stay in the family 😊
@@ShannonAdams-d1s the kid is doing great 😊
i lost braincells trying to understand the situation
@@64siskat96 😂😂😂 yeah it’s complicated
kid: Rodrick is bad
teenager:Manny is spoiled af
adult:Greg is a sociopath
Since Rodrick is the only one who is normal he might need counseling due to the rest of the family being werid
can we just give credit to the author of being able to make a family this bad but still a bestselling childrens book that people ENJOY reading?
Every DOAWK character’s problem:
Frank - Abusive
Susan - Karen
Greg - Simp
Manny - Spoiled Brat
Rowley - Treated like a baby
Rodrick is the only normal person, he is just a normal teenager.
when gregs got the x-ray googles everyone thought greg was probaly high
17:38 “it’s a journal, NOT A DIARY!” -
🤓👆
When I was a kid, I assumed Rodrick was the worst. But now I realize he's the most normal
The fact that Rodrick is the normal person in the family was one of the reasons why I had a big ass crush on him in elementary school. Greg has a shit ton of red flags like the rest of the family
Hopefully Rodrick is able to move out. He definitely gives the vibes that he won't talk to his family after moving out.
Bros the best channeel for relaxing
Even when I was a younger kid I always thought that Greg was a sociopathic brat. I remember reading the books and reading how Greg literally broke Rowleys arm and then got mad when all the girls wanted to make sure he was okay. Was this seen as normal middle school boy behavior??
Rodrick is literally the only normal one in the family
2:18 i actually did use a car when i was 3 and it was like this: i was a 3 year old little baby and i was sitting in the backseat of my grandparents car(only me,my grandma and the driver aka my grandpa was there)and while my grandpa was driving i wanted to get on his lap and my grandpa let me sit on his lap then i attempted to drive the car and İ ALMOST CRASHED THE CAR but thankfully my grandma grabbed me,put me back into the backseat and nobody was hurt
💀
i am not capping
Actually, Greg attempted to throw it away the moment Manny gave it to him and that’s when his mom made him not; after Rowley sat on it Greg threw it away but he felt like his mother wouldn’t argue now.
My friends thought Manny's Teeth were his chin
cwazy
Make that a double chin.
Rodrick is the oldest child, has every right to be a villain
Not really the book paints him as the villain but he's more of a bully jerk than a villain
11:28 Stan Marsh is here.
YES
Greg: Physiotherapical Brother Manny: NOT HUMAN. Susan: a person who doesn’t know what ‘Punishment’ means Frank: the same person as Susan but is obsessed with civil war toys

15:12 he told rowley it was him and rowley told, so greg got in trouble
