"That half a grape is why you're fat!" That line alone made me laugh way harder than I should have. Honestly, I've been watching Jamie's stuff for a while and I love how down-to-earth she is.
Jaime, as an Asian-American, I want to let you know that I have much more respect for you for actually researching the mukbang culture and its meaning more in depth to understand how it works. As someone with a Korean heritage, I can confirm that many Koreans feel loneliness due to people around them not being genuine or using them for their own benefit. Thank you for showing respect to our people! And Choi is pronounced Chu-eh! Chueh fast
@@JCSAXON It is! They are incredibly competitive. The establishments, companies, and government there would ask you which families you’re from, and heavily discriminate by looks when picking employees or even their friends on a daily basis lol. It’s an incredibly messed up culture, and I don’t like how the plastic culture is also tainting the West. To put it short, I don’t trust or hang out with other Korean women lol. They always give off this vibe that they are comparing themselves to other women. I am participating in a dadaism exhibit, but the person running it is a female and she has no clue what dadaism is about
@@JCSAXON Yeah I feel like some Koreans want to start a Dadaist thing in the art world, but they need to think outside the box a little more. I think people need to develop better critical thinking skills to be more genuine.
My brain goes back to Man vs. Food with this and how he actually had to quit the show because eating all that food was affecting his health so much. Also I love Jamie's videos and her content is so good.
I LOVED Adam! The first host of Man vs Food! Yeah I’m glad he quit while he was ahead and now I get to see him in all sorts of fun shows like the Food that Built America and one where he goes to factories where food is made
Mukbangs are a trend I never understood. I have misophonia so listening to someone eat and slurp is the last thing I would ever enjoy. It does seem like it contributes to binge eating
Same here. I don't even sleep in the same room as the people I date because of misophonia. I clicked on a video about Amberlynn Reid and got flooded with this genre of videos since. Amberlynn's bizarre because there are youtubers making bank just talking trash about her and another one named Chantal.
Dont get asmr either. Like watching umboxing videos and they spend half the video taping on the box with fake nails on. In my mind I'm screaming stop that and just open the dang box already. Probably just my ocd.
Trigger warning ⭐️ When I was in high school I developed an eating disorder and I stopped eating ( literally a piece of gum a day then lots of binging and purging) and I would sit and watch food network or look up pictures of food non stop, like every minute I could I would look up food 😭😭😭 it makes me so sad for my younger self. Im now a certified in nutritionist and help others going through what I did 🤍🤍 long story short, I didn’t realize why I didn’t like mukbangs until just now. Love your videos Jamie!
You may have just opened my eyes to why Mukbangs disgust me so much. I'm 30 now, but had a severe eating disorder from 12-19. My best friend and I would sit in the back of Barnes and Noble looking at cook books as Food P***. Would fast for days (literally just water). Im 30 now, and possibly as recovered as you can be? But you just made me connect the lines of why Mukbangs, food eating competitions, ect make me feel legitimately sick
@@TeslaKuhn8 humans have always used language in dirty, gross, and bad ways - it just seems more prevalent bc of the internet, I think! More widely on display.
Anyone else loving this new content? Podcast vibes plus video clips. And the in-depth research and notes you put into it, doesn't go unnoticed. Thanks for all you do! 🙂
I need to say, I have favorite creators that change their content and sometimes I don’t care much for it, but everything Jaime puts out is great. I always love it. She’s so talented!
Yassss! I feel the same way. The content is always interesting, but I just love her personality & hearing her talk about the content. Plus, I freakin love the voices...like Jennifer Coolidge. Also, I love her singing.
Okay but can we talk about how Jamie literally makes funny videos about trends without making fun of the actual creators, showing all sides of the topic, respecting other cultures and opinions and overtly warning of any kind of triggers, and making sure no one watching her videos feels picked on? What is this witchcraft, we need so much more of it on the internet. Thank you for being an awesome, kind person!
We never give Jaime enough praise for her voice. She can be completely joking and I keep replaying because she sounds so phenomenal. I'd definitely be listening to that Barracuda cover on repeat
I personally don't mind mukbang videos when the portions are realistic and the person is eating like a normal person while just having a casual conversation. Basically how they were originally. It is like a nice little chill hangout. Of course I was not surprised when people started making the videos with bigger and more insane meals, people always do that. And like any of these niche trends online, it would obviously turn into a kind of fetish that would draw even more attention to it and morph it into having even more bizzare behaviour as the requests got weirder and weirder. Another aspect of it that Jamie didn't mention is that these massive mukbang videos are sort of "freak show" content. A lot of people want to witness other people acting outside of the norm. Like watching reality tv or competative eating contests, if you saw people eating or behaving like this in public most people would want to avoid them but in a different setting with different context a lot of people would find it entertaining.
When I was a kid, I had food insecurities and didn’t always get 3 meals a day so I’d check out cooking books from the library and stare at the pictures and it would make me feel like I ate more. Didn’t know that was an actual thing but it does kinda make me feel better about my life 😂
That is so sad, but also insanely fascinating that your child mind would think to do that, and have it "work." It breaks my heart, but I hope things have only gotten much better than they were back then for you. Sending love! ❤
My heart breaks reading these comments. I'm so sorry. I'm forever grateful that my home state recently approved free school breakfast and lunch for *every* student, because that's the only meal(s) some kids might receive in a given day. It obviously doesn't solve the core issue but every kiddo should have enough food. I pray things feel more secure for y'all now. ❣️
You are the FIRST TH-camr I’ve heard that 1. Learned to pronounce Mukbang correctly 2. Actually recognized and talked about its origins in Korea and how wholesome it was before western media absolutely perverted it!
@@kimberlycakes7236 Yeah! Well it’s the English letter version of the Korean word. Muk = Eat, bang comes from the word bangsong which means show. Eating show!
@@kimberlycakes7236 I think the confusion is the original spelling is in Korean alphabet but was transliterated to roman characters, which is almost always imperfect, probably especially in English where the alphabet is arguably underspecified (alot of languages have one sound per letter, if you see a letter it’s always pronounced one way, not so in English, there should be more letters especially for vowels). It depends on the language its coming from, who decided the rules and what they are (seems to not be consistent across languages). In my experience if a word is transliterated usually its not the hard version of the vowel.
I watch a korean woman mukbang on tiktok. She travels to local shops and ests alot of food, but she seems to genuinely enjoy the food and she talks and laughs with the shop owners. Theres no weird slurping or chewing, its just her enjoying a large amount of local food at family owned restaurants. It doesnt feel like a weird or creepy video
As someone who suffers with misophonia, I have never watched a mukbang. But the dedication to watching your videos is real. Watching with one earbud in so I can rip it out if there’s a sound I can’t stand lol
The same! I’m interested in the culture of mukbangs but I’ve never watched one because of my misophonia. I’m committed to getting through this entire video without just throwing my headphones against a wall 😂😂
Tw ED: Mentioning the restritive diet viewers actually made this phenomenon click for me. When i was most sick with Anorexia, i would pore over cookbooks and cooking shows so i could still have a relationship with food. I kinda cant believe i never thought about that being a lense to view mukbangs considering how much the disorder impacted my life...
I actually love the new direction your channel is taking. I learn so so so much from you about internet trends. I wouldn't know where else to find out what you teach me! So no worries about no longer doing beauty or movie reviews. This stuff is GREAT!
I never fully understood people who can’t stand the sound of chewing until mukbangs put a microphone to it. Now I get it. I absolutely get it. I cannot even get close to watching mukbangs. The sounds and visuals make my stomach turn. I wasn’t even sure I could watch this video! (But Jaime is worth it.) In short, my mind is perpetually boggled by the enormous popularity and my confusion knows no bounds.
@@missbraindamage I can now completely relate. 😩 The chewing noises from those videos make me feel like I’m going to be sickkkkk. How that is asmr for some folks makes me feel like a different species of human altogether. 😂 edit: I wonder…do you also dislike the whispering asmr videos? Because I find the recorded sound of whispering irritating rather than soothing. I wonder if whispering hits the ear the same way as chewing sounds. 🧐
Completely relate!Slurping and chewing noises make me so angry!I feel blessed that I eat with people eating in a polite way without making nasty sounds😭
I hate watching other people eat, period, let alone these people that gorge themselves as grossly as they possibly can. I could never see that as entertainment. I do appreciate the warning in the beginning. I have pretty bad misophonia, but I had to push through to see this, because I really wanted to hear your take on this horrifying phenomenon. Plus your videos rock. Lol.
I was looking for this comment because I just know I'm not the only one who feels this way 😂 Every time I see a thumbnail of someone with a giant pickle, I cringe because I know those disgusting noises are just one accidental click away 😢
Saaame here as well. I can NOT stand those types of videos but I also can NOT just scroll on thru, I love her videos more than I hate the food vids. ☺️ Just removed my ear piece when the noises came around 😖 😅
Literally saw your upload and stopped everything to watch... im so happy i found you jaime! Youre hilarious and amazing! One of the most GENUINE youtubers i subscribe to.
Somehow you are able to hold the vibe of old TH-cam while progressing in quality as the platform evolves. I would argue you are one of the only TH-camrs I have come across who are able to hold both things at the same time so well. I hope you give yourself the credit you deserve. I also want to say, I know this job can be so stressful and there are many other challenges in your life outside of the internet, and I want you to know, as a continuous follower, I hope you know we appreciate and see your effort yet do not hold you to some unattainable expectation, atleast I don't. You could put in half the effort you do in editing and such and I would still love and appreciate your WORK.
Im very thin and my whole life everyone would tell me "eat a burger". When i first saw trisha (i guess about 4.5 years ago) do those mukbangs, i was pregnant with my 3rd son, i was in constant pain and i had just discovered food delivery services. I finally gained some weight but in the most unhealthy way. Id sit on my couch all day because it was to painful to walk anywhere ot do anything, and order fast food twice a day. When i finally had my son i couldnt walk around at work without having to catch my breath every couple of minutes.luckily i worked with my dad and uncle so i took my son with me and had a futon in my dads office. All that to say, im not easily influenced by social media but something about watching people eat large amounts of food on youtube really didnsome bad things to me mentally and ohysically. It took me a while to start eating normal again. Oh, and my hisband was out of town for a week or two at a time soche had no idea. When he was home, he'd cook every meal and hes an amazing vook, but id sneak out to "run an errand" just so i could go thriugh a drive through. All the employees that worked a window within 20 mile radius, knew me by my order. It got bad.
To be fair, Pregnancy also does some crazy shit to our bodies. I think you can have a little kindness for yourself, and probably not blame it all on muckbangs.
When I was really sick from gastroparesis and essentially unable to eat for several months, watching people cook and eat on TH-cam actually made me feel better. A lot of mukbang content is super nasty but there is definitely a space for normal eating content imo, especially if it’s well made…
omg sad and sweet story: in 2015 when i moved to houston, my new nail tech told me about mukbangs because we bonded over our dad’s dying. he knew i had a yt channel, and asked me to do one so his mother could watch and feel less lonely💔 i didnt understand the sentiment at the time, but it makes me sad to see what this trend turned out be for the people that relied on them for company, and a distraction from their own sadness and loneliness 😢
jaime's already my fav content creator and the fact that she actually tries to pronounce it correctly (which, she does btw in this video) makes me love her even more. and I'm Korean so I just appreciate the little bit of effort that she puts into stuff like this
A few years ago I was really into the amberlynn Reid channel and during that time I dropped a ton of weight. Idk there was something about watching her be unhealthy that triggered me to do better. Weirdest thing. So I get the theory that ppl who are on diets get satisfaction out of watching mukbangs.
I mean yeah it’s reverse thinspo. And I am not saying that to be mean, it’s just a fact. Watching ALR is peak online eating disorder culture. It’s either fatties trying to lose weight or ppl w anorexia and/or bulimia that watch her.
For me when I was a kid it was cooking shows. Seeing them make food took my hunger away, when mukbangs became a thing I found myself skipping meals by watching those videos. I couldn’t see it then but it’s been a lifelong symptom of a very complicated relationship to food. I still diet and restrict a lot for no good reason but getting better.
thank you for the fantastic research on the origins of mukbang! many years ago, right when mukbang was becoming very popular among western youtubers, i remember telling my friends that mukbangs aren't always about consumption of excess amounts of food. it can just be someone eating a stick of chocolate and it'd still be a mukbang. and that it was a way for people to feel less lonely, by eating with another person.
Jamie, I love watching your videos. You are so authentic and its such a fresh of breath air to see you take multiple days to film something and still finish it, you could easily play it off and just wear the same outfit or whatever but instead you're honest with your fans about your life and your struggles and the very difficult processes that it takes to be a content creator and it weirdly makes me feel better as a disabled person taking multiple days to complete a task. Because your finished products are THE BEST QUALITY ON TH-cam!!! (at least in my opinion ;P)
The 'watching to satisfy cravings' factor of mukbang is absolutely true. In 2021 I was unemployed and living off of food bank food (if you know you know) and would watch Yuka Kinoshita's videos every time I ate in order to satisfy cravings as well as help me eat!
When I was 16, I was very lonely and ate dinner alone most nights. I'd watch Trisha paytas eat during dinner and it truly felt like I wasn't alone. Sometimes id watch this woman named Wendy eat hot Cheetos because I want really allowed to eat hot Cheetos. So it was both. Today's mukbang videos are weird. I noticed the shift with Nick's videos with the other woman who made mukbangs. They went to a burger place that weighs you before you eat giant portions. That's when it became something else. I don't watch mukbangs anymore.
Love Tzuyangs videos, she seems like a lovely genuine and respectful girl and she often showcases family owned and run restaurants in korea. I esp love watching her interactions with the old grandmas/grandpas that own and work in these restaurants.
Jaime I enjoyed this video so much. You can tell just how much work and passion you put in this video. Thank you so much for making content! I love to wait a few months and then binge as much of your new videos as you release!
You had me at “Faerie Tale Theater”! I just turned 35 and still reminisce over that show and “Are You Afraid of the Dark”. Cannot get my 8 year old to watch any of “my” shows. I still have four 5 year olds, so there’s hope that at least one of them will one day agree to take a trip down memory lane with me because today’s kids don’t know what they’re missing.
also, Are You Afraid of the Dark? was my shit too! sometimes during the month of october, nickelodeon will show reruns and i alwayss have to watch when i catch it on.
I really really appreciate a lot of the topics you've been discussing in your videos lately. I found your channel a couple months ago and was all about the movie reviews, and now you're covering a lot of real life topics/problems and despite it being different from the content I was used to I absolutely love it. Thank you for sharing your opinions and how dangerous things like this and social media as a whole can be ❤
I have to say that the makeup you're wearing in this video, the colors, the styling, with the tone of your hair..... are just GORGEOUS. Your eyes are piercing through the screen into my soul. Looking good, lady! Also, thank you for finally calling out how weird this whole mukbang thing is/was. I never understood why this was a thing to watch lol.
I truly hope you are doing well Jaime❤️ I come back to rewatch your videos whenever I'm in a funk and just want you to know how much joy your content has brought me over the last few years! Your videos on Facebook were quite literally the reason why I've had a TH-cam premium membership for almost 3 years now 😅 so happy to have discovered you during covid and continue to look forward to your post notifications 😍❤️
Jamie is quite literally my favorite person on the internet!!!! Front the amount of research time and effort she puts into each video to the personality and that special sense of humor I love her content but she can make Video about anything and I will watch it n enjoy every minute I put her on when I'm stressed just her voice calms me down!!!!! Love her so much!!!!
I was recently in the hospital and wasn’t allowed to eat for 9 days following intestinal surgery and during that 9-day period I was constantly watching mukbang videos. I felt like an idiot for watching them but just couldn’t stop. 😂 After hearing the 3rd reason, I can see why I did it.
@@KrystalMimms It was brutal 😭 I had a hole in my large intestine that they closed up, and so as to not have it pop open again I wasn’t allowed to eat.
Watching, and even worse HEARING, these videos hurts me in a way physically. Like it is so painful. This is my limit to watching these videos and I only did it for you Jaime.
I thought the same thing (also not a religious person) I think from a none religious stand point it’s the 7 follies of humanity, everyone has their vices and it falls into the 7 at some point or an other
As far as mukbangs go, Stephanie Soo is the best. She has a lot of food but splits it between her and her fiance and maybe another person or two so it's not gross. And she always has a story to discuss or reads reddit posts beyond just eating. She's the only person I'll watch this form of content from but she isn't big on the ASMR stuff really which helps.
Stephanie Soo is the only one who does mukbang in a way that ever interested me and didn’t disgust me. She tells really interesting stories, eats slowly, describes the flavors, and actually got me interested in some foods I haven’t tried before.
It's one of the most disrespectful true crime channels. No hate to you, we like what we like. It's her responsibility to respect the topic. Laughing at difficult surnames of brutally murdered people is just appalling.
@AamuAurora Omg I didn't know this about her until I just googled it. That's crazy and mad disrespectful to the victims. Makes me so sad because I've only heard positive things about her.
Stephanie soo is highkey a narcissist, maybe even a sociopath. Wrote off her content a long time ago. Her admitting proudly to putting loose staples inside her BFs shoes was what did it for me 😂
@@AamuAurora totally agree. She’s just as disgusting as the rest. I mean in what way is eating a fast food meal whilst taking about someone being brutally murdered morally justifiable. She also often laughs whilst talking about the victims.
Here’s a little FOOD for thought lol… When i was younger I started watching food content constantly, in the form of the food network, so yes very different than the mukbang, but i watched a ton of it bc i was food insecure and yeah, it satiated me and thank goodness it did bc those cupboards were bare af
I love watching cooking shows and have always learned a lot from them. I'm a stan for America's Test Kitchen and have found all thier cookbooks SO helpful in becoming a better cook (and a more frugal home maker). I do have some emotional food insecurity, my mom and dad had it and raised me with it, but I've learned that learning how to manage my pantry and cook healthy meals makes things better. I always remember food is fuel for the rest of the things I enjoy doing like travel and archeology.
I was watching the food network to satiate me like 15 years ago because I went through a period of living on my own and not having enough money to buy food. I had to make sure I could pay my rent and bills. I tried to get food stamps but they denied me. That was a hard time.
literally same. we did have food to be fair, but I would always somehow end up eating an ingredient for a recipe or cleaned the pan wrong and we had very limited food options.. the cupboards may as well have been bare aside from bananas and ramen (packs not cups.) I loved cooking though for other people, I still do, but for myself, I have noticed I hoard food a bit, like I repurchase a frequently used product prior to running out or only having one left. I sort of do that with everything. Idk if it's because of the food insecurity growing up, that combined with getting kicked out most of my teenage years, being literally homeless, sometimes not being able to eat due to no money and it being a break from school or something. I didn't do it at the time, but it's a learned instinct like a stray animal that's just been taken in. have you or anyone else reading dealt with that or anything similar? *edit - not talking about bingeing food but storing non perishables or like, overstocking on items. getting low on a product continuously used makes you anxious, that sort of thing. Not in a doomsday way either. I have a large shelf that should be a pantry and the regular kitchen space in a small-ish house. Everything fits except I need to reorganize my shelves and see if I have items to donate. Because of that, some things bought by the case (not on purpose all the time, some are like 50% cheaper.) Or weed, cigs, literally all facets of consumption, even content sometimes.
@@kittygoesWOOF I started hoarding food too! I became very food insecure. I just recently stopped over buying everything. I would buy 3 huge best food mayonnaise that went on sale at Costco, when canned soup would go on sale I'd buy 10 cans at a time multiple times before the sale ended. Omg. And same thing about going down to the last one I'd be out buying a ton before it ran out.
So interesting and glad you made this video. I have only watched one mukbang person and her name is Fume. I don’t even remember how I found the video. I actually think 99.9% of mukbang is disgusting and disturbing. But although she eats a large amount of food, she eats it normally and gracefully. If that makes sense 😂 She isn’t gross about it. Just eats like a normal person it’s just a lot of food. Also your video made me realize I enjoyed her videos because at the time, I was in my first trimester of pregnancy and very sick. I wasn’t able to enjoy food at all. I remember feeling a satisfaction from watching her eat this great food because I wasn’t able to, and was almost fantasizing about being able to eat good food again because I couldn’t at the time. But other than this one TH-camr I think it’s just disgusting and a huge waste of food. Always love your takes on these topics. You’re so articulate and look at these topics so rationally but also bring comedy to it.
You basically said it spot on.😂 It's "muck-bahng." Bang (방) means "room" & there are a lot of Korean terms that use it. PC-bang is like an internet café where you can use public computers for ~$1/hr. The Korean term for karaoke is "noraebang;" norae = song, so "song room." That's all I got. Thanks for the '90s-kid TV montage.😭💜
I feel like you’re the only content creator out there who appreciates Trisha Paytas and Nicocado for what they are, which is just v elaborate and intricately designed trolls, and I appreciate you for appreciating that. I mean I still don’t watch their content and stand by that decision, but love to see them mentioned in this way instead of with mass disdain and anger over something that is just truly not that deep.
Except Trish is actually a really bad, mean, manipulative, lying woman. I don't ever bully her, but I've done rabbit holes, and there's this content creator, mysterious tea, who DEEP dives into her life and she's really screwed so many people over. And was abusive. I don't suggest people run and hate her, but maybe leave her alone, stop giving her attention, negative or positive. But she is just... bad news. She has time to grow, though of course. But publicity and clout definitely didn't help 💔
TP is quite literally a disgusting human being though. Her antisemitism, transphobia, etc. is appalling & the fact that she’s just written off as “trolling” is sad.
Love this. I literally cannot stand to even glance at some of those creators but Zach Choi and Hamzy cook! Love watching the cooking portion and usually tune out when they sit down to eat.
I absolutely screwed my back this morning and am laying flat out in pain bingeing youtube, so glad for this 😅 thank youuu for the brilliant content as usual
Seriously loving your commentary videos! The only content of yours that I cannot watch is stuff that features Trisha Paytas (like the fb shorts), because her mouth noises are just the worst!
I love videos that go over the history of internet trends, and I love Jaime French videos. So I'm loving the direction this channel seems to be taking.
Hi Jamie! Wanted to say thank you so much for all that you’ve put out on this platform. I discovered you a month ago and I stg it has made me so happy. I’ve even shared some of the videos with my husband and he loves them too. I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia this past week and processing it has been really difficult. On the bad pain days when I need a pick me up, I open TH-cam and you’re at the top of my recommended and it makes me pretty happy. Thank you so much Jamie 💗
THANK YOU for the actual warning about the nasty disgusting food sounds. That shit always catches me off guard and upsets me for a long time afterwards. Seriously, thank you.
I remember years ago I caught a really bad case of the flu and lost so much weight from barely eating for days on end. The minute I felt well enough to go out I got myself a small cheeseburger meal and practically inhaled it, and 10 seconds later it all came back up. Clearly my eyes were bigger than my post flu stomach. I’ve always been a slow eater, where some people can eat a meal in less than 5 minutes I can still be going 30 minutes later. And that day I learnt that I’m not and probably will never be a 5 minutes or less eater… So I don’t know how people can just gorge themselves for the sake of gorging themselves.
For starters, Jaime's hair 😍😍🔥 I used to watch muckbangs for the asmr aspect of them back in 2020; but the mirror effect did NOT happen for me. As much as I wish it would have 😅. I actually gained a decent amount of weight because I would get so hungry ( the creative and quiet chewing ones) always end up eating along. I'm so glad I broke my cycle with that genre.. I wish the us would put restrictions and bans on a few different "trendy" content for the health of everyone and our kiddos brains 😑
I would say a lot of people with disordered eating, on diets, or overeat themselves probably watch to love or hate it. Either out of living vicariously or jealousy/ hate/ disgust watching. Yup- you touched on it.
THANK YOU! I thought I was the only one that thought these mukbang vids were straight up weird!! But yet I can't stop watching some of them. I'm watching someone record themselves chomping down delicious food while eating a bowl of Ramen in front of me 😢. But yup I get jelly too!
I had an eating disorder as a teenager and I loved reading recipes for hours because it gave me a feeling that I ate that food. Now, I still like watching cooking videos sometimes, but only to learn something new:) But mukbang grosses me out
Usually, I don't like it when people take the piss out of my accent, but every time Jamie does one of our accents I love it. It comes across really funny and charming. Subscribed, great sense of humour too! 3:12 all day
I got into mukbang content because I loved the beautiful collection of fresh seafood in a lot of the Korean creators’ videos. I was fascinated by the way the food was prepared, and it was actually really educational. I learned what a geoduck clam was because of those videos. It makes me so sad that this is what it’s descended into 😕 Also, love the curls babe. Seriously, I would love to see more curly hair in your content 💕

Im surprised that she knows who amberlynn is
What about food challenges?
This is the first video of yours I’ve watched where you didn’t do an “ad break” before the TH-cam commercial 😢
I have been letting my family watch me eat from across the table all years when I could have been charging for it.
Yeah, and eating MORE
I screenshot this and send this to my family😂😂
whenever we're stoned and ordering too much Chinese, I tell my friends we should film the feast and make some 💲💲 😆
i LOLed for reals at this
HA!
"That half a grape is why you're fat!" That line alone made me laugh way harder than I should have. Honestly, I've been watching Jamie's stuff for a while and I love how down-to-earth she is.
I just hollered in my office 🤣🤣🤣🤣
i love andrew tate!
@@leahnicole2227reminder
💀
I don't understand these types of videos and will never watch one. But I'll absolutely watch Jamie talk about them.
Same here!
Agreed.
they are so gross I truly dont get it 😅
Agreed
Same! The only mukbang content I will be watching was in this video 😂 Honestly one of the most bizarre trends ever.
Jaime, as an Asian-American, I want to let you know that I have much more respect for you for actually researching the mukbang culture and its meaning more in depth to understand how it works. As someone with a Korean heritage, I can confirm that many Koreans feel loneliness due to people around them not being genuine or using them for their own benefit. Thank you for showing respect to our people!
And Choi is pronounced Chu-eh! Chueh fast
I’ve never heard of that before. Do you feel that narcissism is somewhat cultivated/encouraged in popular Korean culture?
@@JCSAXON It is! They are incredibly competitive. The establishments, companies, and government there would ask you which families you’re from, and heavily discriminate by looks when picking employees or even their friends on a daily basis lol. It’s an incredibly messed up culture, and I don’t like how the plastic culture is also tainting the West. To put it short, I don’t trust or hang out with other Korean women lol. They always give off this vibe that they are comparing themselves to other women. I am participating in a dadaism exhibit, but the person running it is a female and she has no clue what dadaism is about
@@OneShotSlinger Thanks for responding. I’m a little distracted by the mention of a dada exhibition. That’s not a common occurrence in my circuitry
@@JCSAXON Yeah I feel like some Koreans want to start a Dadaist thing in the art world, but they need to think outside the box a little more. I think people need to develop better critical thinking skills to be more genuine.
Korean society needs a serious Rehaul or your people will go extinct 😢 so sad.
My brain goes back to Man vs. Food with this and how he actually had to quit the show because eating all that food was affecting his health so much. Also I love Jamie's videos and her content is so good.
Facts
Exactly, it was so entertaining to watch with the first host. My husband and I loved it ❤
Yes!
I LOVED Adam! The first host of Man vs Food! Yeah I’m glad he quit while he was ahead and now I get to see him in all sorts of fun shows like the Food that Built America and one where he goes to factories where food is made
Omg Adam!!!! He had THE most beautiful eyes 😍
Mukbangs are a trend I never understood. I have misophonia so listening to someone eat and slurp is the last thing I would ever enjoy. It does seem like it contributes to binge eating
They didn't start out that way. It literally was just women eating their meal on camera. Then people took it and went way far.
I don't have misphonia and loud eating noises from humans still annoy me immensely
Same here. I don't even sleep in the same room as the people I date because of misophonia. I clicked on a video about Amberlynn Reid and got flooded with this genre of videos since. Amberlynn's bizarre because there are youtubers making bank just talking trash about her and another one named Chantal.
I literally get angry when I hear people eating and I try so hard not to let it show 😅
omg listening to someone eat makes me want to vomit
I feel like gatekeeping would have saved the world from the horrors that mukbangs have become
Let's all just take a moment and apreciate how much effort Jaime puts into her content.
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
❤❤ yessss!
She the goat ❤
Always!!! 🎉❤
Dont get asmr either. Like watching umboxing videos and they spend half the video taping on the box with fake nails on. In my mind I'm screaming stop that and just open the dang box already. Probably just my ocd.
"It makes me want to ruin priceless art" couldn't have described my rage better I'm taking this!
Trigger warning ⭐️ When I was in high school I developed an eating disorder and I stopped eating ( literally a piece of gum a day then lots of binging and purging) and I would sit and watch food network or look up pictures of food non stop, like every minute I could I would look up food 😭😭😭 it makes me so sad for my younger self. Im now a certified in nutritionist and help others going through what I did 🤍🤍 long story short, I didn’t realize why I didn’t like mukbangs until just now. Love your videos Jamie!
Really sorry you went through that but you turned it around you should be proud!
You may have just opened my eyes to why Mukbangs disgust me so much.
I'm 30 now, but had a severe eating disorder from 12-19. My best friend and I would sit in the back of Barnes and Noble looking at cook books as Food P***. Would fast for days (literally just water).
Im 30 now, and possibly as recovered as you can be?
But you just made me connect the lines of why Mukbangs, food eating competitions, ect make me feel legitimately sick
It's crazy how sharing meals online became this awful thing recently
Hmm it’s not that new. The gross mukbangs have been around for at least a year.
Always been gross
@@TeslaKuhn8 humans have always used language in dirty, gross, and bad ways - it just seems more prevalent bc of the internet, I think! More widely on display.
They got popular around 2017 actually
"sharing meals online" LMAO 🤣 fucking Idiocracy levels of stupid
Anyone else loving this new content?
Podcast vibes plus video clips. And the in-depth research and notes you put into it, doesn't go unnoticed.
Thanks for all you do! 🙂
THIS ✊✊✊
That's why she's the best!!!
I need to say, I have favorite creators that change their content and sometimes I don’t care much for it, but everything Jaime puts out is great. I always love it. She’s so talented!
Yassss! I feel the same way. The content is always interesting, but I just love her personality & hearing her talk about the content. Plus, I freakin love the voices...like Jennifer Coolidge. Also, I love her singing.
Honestly, she is so funny, I just love watching her talk about anything. And I get that she can't do the movies all the time. They must take forever.
I was just thinking that! She’s got crazy talent to be able to do that.
Okay but can we talk about how Jamie literally makes funny videos about trends without making fun of the actual creators, showing all sides of the topic, respecting other cultures and opinions and overtly warning of any kind of triggers, and making sure no one watching her videos feels picked on? What is this witchcraft, we need so much more of it on the internet. Thank you for being an awesome, kind person!
Whatever curly hair routine you’ve been doing is working out lovely for you.
We never give Jaime enough praise for her voice. She can be completely joking and I keep replaying because she sounds so phenomenal. I'd definitely be listening to that Barracuda cover on repeat
I personally don't mind mukbang videos when the portions are realistic and the person is eating like a normal person while just having a casual conversation. Basically how they were originally. It is like a nice little chill hangout.
Of course I was not surprised when people started making the videos with bigger and more insane meals, people always do that. And like any of these niche trends online, it would obviously turn into a kind of fetish that would draw even more attention to it and morph it into having even more bizzare behaviour as the requests got weirder and weirder.
Another aspect of it that Jamie didn't mention is that these massive mukbang videos are sort of "freak show" content. A lot of people want to witness other people acting outside of the norm. Like watching reality tv or competative eating contests, if you saw people eating or behaving like this in public most people would want to avoid them but in a different setting with different context a lot of people would find it entertaining.
Does anyone else feel like Jamie would make the greatest best friend 😂
Ah-ah-ah! Don't get too parasocial there, my guy 😂🫣🫵
@@mmmchkplss1203 It's just a joke 👀👀🤣
She reminds me of one of my friends, Jessica. Except I was the one with the parrot. LOL.
All the time I say how much I wanna chill with her just once 😭
Yup. The best friend I'll never meet
When I was a kid, I had food insecurities and didn’t always get 3 meals a day so I’d check out cooking books from the library and stare at the pictures and it would make me feel like I ate more. Didn’t know that was an actual thing but it does kinda make me feel better about my life 😂
Well now I'm sad.
That is so sad, but also insanely fascinating that your child mind would think to do that, and have it "work." It breaks my heart, but I hope things have only gotten much better than they were back then for you. Sending love! ❤
When i was a child i was constantly hungry and i would stare at pictures of food and it felt like i had some food that was in it 😊
My heart breaks reading these comments. I'm so sorry. I'm forever grateful that my home state recently approved free school breakfast and lunch for *every* student, because that's the only meal(s) some kids might receive in a given day. It obviously doesn't solve the core issue but every kiddo should have enough food.
I pray things feel more secure for y'all now. ❣️
You are the FIRST TH-camr I’ve heard that
1. Learned to pronounce Mukbang correctly
2. Actually recognized and talked about its origins in Korea and how wholesome it was before western media absolutely perverted it!
I've never heard ANYONE pronounce it muckBONG?? I thought the correct way way to pronounce it muckbang That's how you spell it?
@@kimberlycakes7236 Yeah! Well it’s the English letter version of the Korean word. Muk = Eat, bang comes from the word bangsong which means show. Eating show!
@@kimberlycakes7236 I think the confusion is the original spelling is in Korean alphabet but was transliterated to roman characters, which is almost always imperfect, probably especially in English where the alphabet is arguably underspecified (alot of languages have one sound per letter, if you see a letter it’s always pronounced one way, not so in English, there should be more letters especially for vowels). It depends on the language its coming from, who decided the rules and what they are (seems to not be consistent across languages). In my experience if a word is transliterated usually its not the hard version of the vowel.
I watch a korean woman mukbang on tiktok. She travels to local shops and ests alot of food, but she seems to genuinely enjoy the food and she talks and laughs with the shop owners. Theres no weird slurping or chewing, its just her enjoying a large amount of local food at family owned restaurants. It doesnt feel like a weird or creepy video
Thank you, Jaime, for putting yourself through the ghastly sounds of slurping to bring this video to us
AND the editor! ;-)
As someone who suffers with misophonia, I have never watched a mukbang. But the dedication to watching your videos is real. Watching with one earbud in so I can rip it out if there’s a sound I can’t stand lol
The same! I’m interested in the culture of mukbangs but I’ve never watched one because of my misophonia. I’m committed to getting through this entire video without just throwing my headphones against a wall 😂😂
Eyy misophonia gang! Does this video make me want to throw up and smash my phone? Yes! And yet, I'm fascinated enough to stay.
Same
SAME. 😫😩😮💨
Doesn't everyone have misophonia these days? 🙄
Tw ED:
Mentioning the restritive diet viewers actually made this phenomenon click for me. When i was most sick with Anorexia, i would pore over cookbooks and cooking shows so i could still have a relationship with food. I kinda cant believe i never thought about that being a lense to view mukbangs considering how much the disorder impacted my life...
Yeah I eat vicariously through mukbangers
I actually love the new direction your channel is taking. I learn so so so much from you about internet trends. I wouldn't know where else to find out what you teach me! So no worries about no longer doing beauty or movie reviews. This stuff is GREAT!
Yeah… I still don’t get the monetization of eating disorders. Can we just go back to sharing a meal together??😂
I never fully understood people who can’t stand the sound of chewing until mukbangs put a microphone to it. Now I get it. I absolutely get it. I cannot even get close to watching mukbangs. The sounds and visuals make my stomach turn. I wasn’t even sure I could watch this video! (But Jaime is worth it.)
In short, my mind is perpetually boggled by the enormous popularity and my confusion knows no bounds.
I haTE HATE HATE loud eating noises... so I hate mukbangs a lot!
@@missbraindamage I can now completely relate. 😩 The chewing noises from those videos make me feel like I’m going to be sickkkkk. How that is asmr for some folks makes me feel like a different species of human altogether. 😂
edit: I wonder…do you also dislike the whispering asmr videos? Because I find the recorded sound of whispering irritating rather than soothing. I wonder if whispering hits the ear the same way as chewing sounds. 🧐
They just made me realize I'm into eating sounds lol.
@@Zectifin hahaha, such a strange thing that some of us can’t stand it and others like it!
Completely relate!Slurping and chewing noises make me so angry!I feel blessed that I eat with people eating in a polite way without making nasty sounds😭
I hate watching other people eat, period, let alone these people that gorge themselves as grossly as they possibly can. I could never see that as entertainment. I do appreciate the warning in the beginning. I have pretty bad misophonia, but I had to push through to see this, because I really wanted to hear your take on this horrifying phenomenon. Plus your videos rock. Lol.
Same. I can't take mouth noises but wanted to watch Jamie.
Same here!
I was looking for this comment because I just know I'm not the only one who feels this way 😂
Every time I see a thumbnail of someone with a giant pickle, I cringe because I know those disgusting noises are just one accidental click away 😢
Saaame here as well. I can NOT stand those types of videos but I also can NOT just scroll on thru, I love her videos more than I hate the food vids. ☺️ Just removed my ear piece when the noises came around 😖 😅
Jaime is the GOAT for putting countdowns on her ads
I've avoided any commentary videos on this until yours-I just know you can make this hilarious, educational and somehow less traumatizing
Literally saw your upload and stopped everything to watch... im so happy i found you jaime! Youre hilarious and amazing! One of the most GENUINE youtubers i subscribe to.
Somehow you are able to hold the vibe of old TH-cam while progressing in quality as the platform evolves. I would argue you are one of the only TH-camrs I have come across who are able to hold both things at the same time so well. I hope you give yourself the credit you deserve.
I also want to say, I know this job can be so stressful and there are many other challenges in your life outside of the internet, and I want you to know, as a continuous follower, I hope you know we appreciate and see your effort yet do not hold you to some unattainable expectation, atleast I don't. You could put in half the effort you do in editing and such and I would still love and appreciate your WORK.
I concur with this entire comment.
Yes! 🙌🏼 Jamie gives me OG TH-cam. I’d love seeing her with JennaMarbles making videos together.
Im very thin and my whole life everyone would tell me "eat a burger". When i first saw trisha (i guess about 4.5 years ago) do those mukbangs, i was pregnant with my 3rd son, i was in constant pain and i had just discovered food delivery services. I finally gained some weight but in the most unhealthy way. Id sit on my couch all day because it was to painful to walk anywhere ot do anything, and order fast food twice a day. When i finally had my son i couldnt walk around at work without having to catch my breath every couple of minutes.luckily i worked with my dad and uncle so i took my son with me and had a futon in my dads office. All that to say, im not easily influenced by social media but something about watching people eat large amounts of food on youtube really didnsome bad things to me mentally and ohysically. It took me a while to start eating normal again. Oh, and my hisband was out of town for a week or two at a time soche had no idea. When he was home, he'd cook every meal and hes an amazing vook, but id sneak out to "run an errand" just so i could go thriugh a drive through. All the employees that worked a window within 20 mile radius, knew me by my order. It got bad.
To be fair, Pregnancy also does some crazy shit to our bodies. I think you can have a little kindness for yourself, and probably not blame it all on muckbangs.
@@yeshummingbird oh, my pregnancy symptoms were definitely to blame for the obsession with being lazy and watch mukbangs all day lol.
When I was really sick from gastroparesis and essentially unable to eat for several months, watching people cook and eat on TH-cam actually made me feel better. A lot of mukbang content is super nasty but there is definitely a space for normal eating content imo, especially if it’s well made…
omg sad and sweet story: in 2015 when i moved to houston, my new nail tech told me about mukbangs because we bonded over our dad’s dying. he knew i had a yt channel, and asked me to do one so his mother could watch and feel less lonely💔 i didnt understand the sentiment at the time, but it makes me sad to see what this trend turned out be for the people that relied on them for company, and a distraction from their own sadness and loneliness 😢
jaime's already my fav content creator and the fact that she actually tries to pronounce it correctly (which, she does btw in this video) makes me love her even more. and I'm Korean so I just appreciate the little bit of effort that she puts into stuff like this
A few years ago I was really into the amberlynn Reid channel and during that time I dropped a ton of weight. Idk there was something about watching her be unhealthy that triggered me to do better. Weirdest thing. So I get the theory that ppl who are on diets get satisfaction out of watching mukbangs.
lol a fellow gorl
I mean yeah it’s reverse thinspo. And I am not saying that to be mean, it’s just a fact. Watching ALR is peak online eating disorder culture. It’s either fatties trying to lose weight or ppl w anorexia and/or bulimia that watch her.
Those kind of channels are the kind of cautionary tale I need.
For me when I was a kid it was cooking shows. Seeing them make food took my hunger away, when mukbangs became a thing I found myself skipping meals by watching those videos. I couldn’t see it then but it’s been a lifelong symptom of a very complicated relationship to food. I still diet and restrict a lot for no good reason but getting better.
the disclaimer for chewing noises 💖💖💖 you are a queen thank you
You're so funny! And singing "Barracuda" at the end! I love Heart.
thank you for the fantastic research on the origins of mukbang! many years ago, right when mukbang was becoming very popular among western youtubers, i remember telling my friends that mukbangs aren't always about consumption of excess amounts of food. it can just be someone eating a stick of chocolate and it'd still be a mukbang. and that it was a way for people to feel less lonely, by eating with another person.
Love how the internet turns anxiety triggers into a marketable industry
its mostly turning fetishes into a marketable industry.
@@Zectifin we didn’t need the internet for that, it was already happening.
I genuinely wish more creators were like Jaime 💔
My misophonia is already making my skin crawl but I'll just do my best to FF through the icky bits. Love ya Jaime!!
Jamie, I love watching your videos.
You are so authentic and its such a fresh of breath air to see you take multiple days to film something and still finish it, you could easily play it off and just wear the same outfit or whatever but instead you're honest with your fans about your life and your struggles and the very difficult processes that it takes to be a content creator and it weirdly makes me feel better as a disabled person taking multiple days to complete a task. Because your finished products are THE BEST QUALITY ON TH-cam!!! (at least in my opinion ;P)
The 'watching to satisfy cravings' factor of mukbang is absolutely true. In 2021 I was unemployed and living off of food bank food (if you know you know) and would watch Yuka Kinoshita's videos every time I ate in order to satisfy cravings as well as help me eat!
When I was 16, I was very lonely and ate dinner alone most nights. I'd watch Trisha paytas eat during dinner and it truly felt like I wasn't alone.
Sometimes id watch this woman named Wendy eat hot Cheetos because I want really allowed to eat hot Cheetos. So it was both.
Today's mukbang videos are weird. I noticed the shift with Nick's videos with the other woman who made mukbangs. They went to a burger place that weighs you before you eat giant portions. That's when it became something else.
I don't watch mukbangs anymore.
Love Tzuyangs videos, she seems like a lovely genuine and respectful girl and she often showcases family owned and run restaurants in korea. I esp love watching her interactions with the old grandmas/grandpas that own and work in these restaurants.
I've really been enjoying these "sit down and discuss weird internet/other things" videos (not sure what to call them) you've been posting lately!
You are just so bloody awesome! I appreciated the British vitamin pronunciation 😂 xx
Jaime I enjoyed this video so much. You can tell just how much work and passion you put in this video. Thank you so much for making content! I love to wait a few months and then binge as much of your new videos as you release!
You had me at “Faerie Tale Theater”! I just turned 35 and still reminisce over that show and “Are You Afraid of the Dark”. Cannot get my 8 year old to watch any of “my” shows. I still have four 5 year olds, so there’s hope that at least one of them will one day agree to take a trip down memory lane with me because today’s kids don’t know what they’re missing.
It great my neice is only 3 but she gets a kick out of old shows that actually have lessons!
Bless your heart. An 8 and 4 5-yr-olds? Twins drove me crazy. You were blessed with nerves of steel.
Also, Fairytale Theatre was bomb. (I'm 43)
four 5 year olds? lol girl bless your soul!
also, Are You Afraid of the Dark? was my shit too! sometimes during the month of october, nickelodeon will show reruns and i alwayss have to watch when i catch it on.
@@Silly_Hobbit_Twix_Are_4_SquidsThank you! I question my sanity daily lol
I really really appreciate a lot of the topics you've been discussing in your videos lately. I found your channel a couple months ago and was all about the movie reviews, and now you're covering a lot of real life topics/problems and despite it being different from the content I was used to I absolutely love it. Thank you for sharing your opinions and how dangerous things like this and social media as a whole can be ❤
I have to say that the makeup you're wearing in this video, the colors, the styling, with the tone of your hair..... are just GORGEOUS. Your eyes are piercing through the screen into my soul. Looking good, lady!
Also, thank you for finally calling out how weird this whole mukbang thing is/was. I never understood why this was a thing to watch lol.
I truly hope you are doing well Jaime❤️ I come back to rewatch your videos whenever I'm in a funk and just want you to know how much joy your content has brought me over the last few years! Your videos on Facebook were quite literally the reason why I've had a TH-cam premium membership for almost 3 years now 😅 so happy to have discovered you during covid and continue to look forward to your post notifications 😍❤️
Jamie is quite literally my favorite person on the internet!!!! Front the amount of research time and effort she puts into each video to the personality and that special sense of humor I love her content but she can make Video about anything and I will watch it n enjoy every minute I put her on when I'm stressed just her voice calms me down!!!!! Love her so much!!!!
I was recently in the hospital and wasn’t allowed to eat for 9 days following intestinal surgery and during that 9-day period I was constantly watching mukbang videos. I felt like an idiot for watching them but just couldn’t stop. 😂 After hearing the 3rd reason, I can see why I did it.
9 days??? Thats crazy!
@@KrystalMimms It was brutal 😭 I had a hole in my large intestine that they closed up, and so as to not have it pop open again I wasn’t allowed to eat.
So what did you eat? 😂😂
Btw sorry you went through that❤❤
@@buyimajola4245 Thank you ❤️ I was only given nutrients by IV
Watching, and even worse HEARING, these videos hurts me in a way physically. Like it is so painful. This is my limit to watching these videos and I only did it for you Jaime.
Though I am not a religious person, those seven deadly sins really be wildin' out in the world today.
I thought the same thing (also not a religious person) I think from a none religious stand point it’s the 7 follies of humanity, everyone has their vices and it falls into the 7 at some point or an other
As far as mukbangs go, Stephanie Soo is the best. She has a lot of food but splits it between her and her fiance and maybe another person or two so it's not gross. And she always has a story to discuss or reads reddit posts beyond just eating. She's the only person I'll watch this form of content from but she isn't big on the ASMR stuff really which helps.
Stephanie Soo is the only one who does mukbang in a way that ever interested me and didn’t disgust me. She tells really interesting stories, eats slowly, describes the flavors, and actually got me interested in some foods I haven’t tried before.
It's one of the most disrespectful true crime channels. No hate to you, we like what we like. It's her responsibility to respect the topic. Laughing at difficult surnames of brutally murdered people is just appalling.
@AamuAurora Omg I didn't know this about her until I just googled it. That's crazy and mad disrespectful to the victims. Makes me so sad because I've only heard positive things about her.
@@AamuAurorawow she sounds like an airhead
Stephanie soo is highkey a narcissist, maybe even a sociopath. Wrote off her content a long time ago. Her admitting proudly to putting loose staples inside her BFs shoes was what did it for me 😂
@@AamuAurora totally agree. She’s just as disgusting as the rest. I mean in what way is eating a fast food meal whilst taking about someone being brutally murdered morally justifiable. She also often laughs whilst talking about the victims.
Addicted to your content, Jaime! Don’t let the haters bring you down.
How does Jaime have haters?? She's honestly one of the best content creators ❤
Here’s a little FOOD for thought lol… When i was younger I started watching food content constantly, in the form of the food network, so yes very different than the mukbang, but i watched a ton of it bc i was food insecure and yeah, it satiated me and thank goodness it did bc those cupboards were bare af
I love watching cooking shows and have always learned a lot from them. I'm a stan for America's Test Kitchen and have found all thier cookbooks SO helpful in becoming a better cook (and a more frugal home maker). I do have some emotional food insecurity, my mom and dad had it and raised me with it, but I've learned that learning how to manage my pantry and cook healthy meals makes things better. I always remember food is fuel for the rest of the things I enjoy doing like travel and archeology.
I was watching the food network to satiate me like 15 years ago because I went through a period of living on my own and not having enough money to buy food. I had to make sure I could pay my rent and bills. I tried to get food stamps but they denied me. That was a hard time.
literally same. we did have food to be fair, but I would always somehow end up eating an ingredient for a recipe or cleaned the pan wrong and we had very limited food options.. the cupboards may as well have been bare aside from bananas and ramen (packs not cups.) I loved cooking though for other people, I still do, but for myself, I have noticed I hoard food a bit, like I repurchase a frequently used product prior to running out or only having one left. I sort of do that with everything. Idk if it's because of the food insecurity growing up, that combined with getting kicked out most of my teenage years, being literally homeless, sometimes not being able to eat due to no money and it being a break from school or something. I didn't do it at the time, but it's a learned instinct like a stray animal that's just been taken in. have you or anyone else reading dealt with that or anything similar?
*edit - not talking about bingeing food but storing non perishables or like, overstocking on items. getting low on a product continuously used makes you anxious, that sort of thing. Not in a doomsday way either. I have a large shelf that should be a pantry and the regular kitchen space in a small-ish house. Everything fits except I need to reorganize my shelves and see if I have items to donate. Because of that, some things bought by the case (not on purpose all the time, some are like 50% cheaper.) Or weed, cigs, literally all facets of consumption, even content sometimes.
Same, I'd drool over someone just making eggs.
@@kittygoesWOOF I started hoarding food too! I became very food insecure. I just recently stopped over buying everything. I would buy 3 huge best food mayonnaise that went on sale at Costco, when canned soup would go on sale I'd buy 10 cans at a time multiple times before the sale ended. Omg. And same thing about going down to the last one I'd be out buying a ton before it ran out.
So interesting and glad you made this video. I have only watched one mukbang person and her name is Fume. I don’t even remember how I found the video. I actually think 99.9% of mukbang is disgusting and disturbing. But although she eats a large amount of food, she eats it normally and gracefully. If that makes sense 😂 She isn’t gross about it. Just eats like a normal person it’s just a lot of food.
Also your video made me realize I enjoyed her videos because at the time, I was in my first trimester of pregnancy and very sick. I wasn’t able to enjoy food at all. I remember feeling a satisfaction from watching her eat this great food because I wasn’t able to, and was almost fantasizing about being able to eat good food again because I couldn’t at the time.
But other than this one TH-camr I think it’s just disgusting and a huge waste of food. Always love your takes on these topics. You’re so articulate and look at these topics so rationally but also bring comedy to it.
I am sooo freaking glad I stumbled across this channel. Killer content Jaime!
You basically said it spot on.😂 It's "muck-bahng." Bang (방) means "room" & there are a lot of Korean terms that use it. PC-bang is like an internet café where you can use public computers for ~$1/hr. The Korean term for karaoke is "noraebang;" norae = song, so "song room."
That's all I got. Thanks for the '90s-kid TV montage.😭💜
in the case of 먹방 it's actually short for 방송 (broadcast)!
I love this new phase of your channel. I love the work you're doing, major props to all the new content =)
Mukbang? More like YUKbang amirite?
That editor insert had me laughing so hard 😂😂😂
I feel like you’re the only content creator out there who appreciates Trisha Paytas and Nicocado for what they are, which is just v elaborate and intricately designed trolls, and I appreciate you for appreciating that. I mean I still don’t watch their content and stand by that decision, but love to see them mentioned in this way instead of with mass disdain and anger over something that is just truly not that deep.
Except Trish is actually a really bad, mean, manipulative, lying woman. I don't ever bully her, but I've done rabbit holes, and there's this content creator, mysterious tea, who DEEP dives into her life and she's really screwed so many people over. And was abusive. I don't suggest people run and hate her, but maybe leave her alone, stop giving her attention, negative or positive. But she is just... bad news. She has time to grow, though of course. But publicity and clout definitely didn't help 💔
TP is quite literally a disgusting human being though. Her antisemitism, transphobia, etc. is appalling & the fact that she’s just written off as “trolling” is sad.
Salute your shorts!!!!
**Legit cracking up thru this whole video.
Love this. I literally cannot stand to even glance at some of those creators but Zach Choi and Hamzy cook! Love watching the cooking portion and usually tune out when they sit down to eat.
I absolutely screwed my back this morning and am laying flat out in pain bingeing youtube, so glad for this 😅 thank youuu for the brilliant content as usual
Saaaame. Literally icing my back in bed right now 😢 hope your back feels better soon!
Seriously loving your commentary videos! The only content of yours that I cannot watch is stuff that features Trisha Paytas (like the fb shorts), because her mouth noises are just the worst!
And she’s really a troublesome human being.
She’s just so nasty and cringey. I just can’t take her. Especially the mouth noises.🤢
Her, Nick-a-cado Avocado. They’re both hideous
Can't to mouth noises blech!
And the heavy breathing 🙄
I love videos that go over the history of internet trends, and I love Jaime French videos. So I'm loving the direction this channel seems to be taking.
I have the Fairytale Theater DVD collection! 😂 That reference just cracked me up! But I have/will never watch, “Mukbang”.🤢
Hi Jamie! Wanted to say thank you so much for all that you’ve put out on this platform. I discovered you a month ago and I stg it has made me so happy. I’ve even shared some of the videos with my husband and he loves them too.
I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia this past week and processing it has been really difficult. On the bad pain days when I need a pick me up, I open TH-cam and you’re at the top of my recommended and it makes me pretty happy.
Thank you so much Jamie 💗
Oh I'm ready
I love your commentary videos, Jaime! You’re so fair a balanced when you talk about it, but you still tell it like it is.
love love love loved this video i honestly love your pop culture videos more than the movie ones even though the comedy you bring in those are amazing
THANK YOU for the actual warning about the nasty disgusting food sounds. That shit always catches me off guard and upsets me for a long time afterwards. Seriously, thank you.
I have recently discovered Jaime and I have been binging all of her videos non stop for the past 2 weeks 😁 I can’t get enough!!!
I remember years ago I caught a really bad case of the flu and lost so much weight from barely eating for days on end.
The minute I felt well enough to go out I got myself a small cheeseburger meal and practically inhaled it, and 10 seconds later it all came back up.
Clearly my eyes were bigger than my post flu stomach.
I’ve always been a slow eater, where some people can eat a meal in less than 5 minutes I can still be going 30 minutes later.
And that day I learnt that I’m not and probably will never be a 5 minutes or less eater…
So I don’t know how people can just gorge themselves for the sake of gorging themselves.
Honestly, same.
Love how much effort and time you put into your videos. And good on you for continuing on your health journey.
Just like that, a memory i had forgotten from my childhood unlocked and im watching the dancing princesses from fairy tale theatre.. 🤯
Jaime!!! Another home run video!!! You can see the hard work you put into your content 👏👏👏
For starters, Jaime's hair 😍😍🔥
I used to watch muckbangs for the asmr aspect of them back in 2020; but the mirror effect did NOT happen for me. As much as I wish it would have 😅. I actually gained a decent amount of weight because I would get so hungry ( the creative and quiet chewing ones) always end up eating along. I'm so glad I broke my cycle with that genre..
I wish the us would put restrictions and bans on a few different "trendy" content for the health of everyone and our kiddos brains 😑
I love when Jaime covers internet trends, she’s very on the pulse and has great commentary
Jamie is amazing I love her humor and her creativity!
Omg Jamie's hair when its down is gorgeous, i love the curly fringe, it looks so good!!
Me looking for something to watch…
Jaime posting a video
Me: TH-cam has provided 😊😊
The *'editor disagreeing'* is my spirit animal
I can’t…….I….just……………can’t (I am extremely misophonic) 😂
I would say a lot of people with disordered eating, on diets, or overeat themselves probably watch to love or hate it. Either out of living vicariously or jealousy/ hate/ disgust watching. Yup- you touched on it.
THANK YOU! I thought I was the only one that thought these mukbang vids were straight up weird!! But yet I can't stop watching some of them. I'm watching someone record themselves chomping down delicious food while eating a bowl of Ramen in front of me 😢. But yup I get jelly too!
I had an eating disorder as a teenager and I loved reading recipes for hours because it gave me a feeling that I ate that food. Now, I still like watching cooking videos sometimes, but only to learn something new:)
But mukbang grosses me out
My fiance thinks it's weird that I have to throw my head back to take pills but now I see you do the same thing I feel much better XD
I do too!
I do too and my husband has made fun of me for it, for all 9 yrs of us being together😂 so glad there are others out there who are "weird" like me
Usually, I don't like it when people take the piss out of my accent, but every time Jamie does one of our accents I love it. It comes across really funny and charming. Subscribed, great sense of humour too! 3:12 all day
thank you for covering this!
"Butter teeth" is such a Midwestern term. 😂
I got into mukbang content because I loved the beautiful collection of fresh seafood in a lot of the Korean creators’ videos. I was fascinated by the way the food was prepared, and it was actually really educational. I learned what a geoduck clam was because of those videos. It makes me so sad that this is what it’s descended into 😕
Also, love the curls babe. Seriously, I would love to see more curly hair in your content 💕
Fun fact about geoduck: they're only native to the Pacific Northwest. They are imported from the US to Asain countries.
