@@FlameOnTheBeat I definitely don't know for sure about when wine in a can started but this episode came out over 10 years ago. So there is a good chance it wasn't at that point.
Interventions aren’t super popular but they do actually happen. I worked at a fast food restaurant and witnessed one myself. I guess Chick-Fil-A is a good place to tell your friend he needs to stop doing drugs.
I have only heard of a couple of examples, too. It takes a really particular group of people and I wouldn't say they are totally effective because it is easy to make the person feel attacked.
I like how as soon as Charlie mentions Night Crawler, he immediately realizes that he may have to explain it and that it is a weird thing to do even by his own standards
i watched one in my high school health class in 10th grade in like 2017 and still remember how disturbing that show was. like idk why anyone would watch the show for enjoyment or entertainment
There’s a show called Intervention that started in the early/mid 2000s and that sparked more comedies doing interventions around this time too (Arrested Development, The Office US, How I Met Your Mother, etc.)
i absolutely love how you're like "yeah...i get it, you're just vile human beings!" but then two minutes later after she's doing that mouth thing with the spit you're basically "oh my god get me some salt right now!!"
You can't detain people here either for drug issues. An intervention (in my understanding) is just a way to try to convince someone to voluntarily enter treatment
As someone who was detained by a hospital for about a week after a fentanyl overdose I respectfully disagree. In Florida they used something called the Marchman act to keep me from leaving. 24 hour supervision too. Good times.
It’s a little more complex than that, you can be detained and submitted for treatment if you’re deemed dangerous to yourself or others in some states. In Florida it’s called the Baker Act. It is however pretty limited in scope, and they can’t keep you once you’re no longer an immediate threat. This means that while they can take you in if you’re hallucinating and threatening people, they cant keep you for a full treatment for addictions. This varies state to state, but I don’t think any of them can commit you to treatment without court proceedings. Edit: Above is true for the mentally ill, the Marchman act is specifically for substance abuse
Oh my gosh. Please do the D.E.N.N.I.S. system. And maybe you could team up with the Legal Eagle guy, because the D.E.N.N.I.S. system also flirts with several grey areas of the law as well.
9:13 If you've read the theories and put together some of the hints in the show about Charlie's childhood abuse that might answer your question. A reaction video to "The Nightman Cometh" from this perspective would be interesting
Boxed wine is absolutely a thing and is great for poor college students or frugal people with low standards. I have been in both of those categories in my life. Canned wine is also a thing now, so Frank was ahead of the times!
Yeah interventions are real. Its basically a bumch of loved ones of that individual getting together in desperation to truly tell the person everything they feel, what they are worried about. How much they love them. Often times they write notes with talking points. Its a whole thing.
It would be interesting to see a video about the Dr Phil and the troubled teen camp scandal, camps/treatment centres that he is connected with and how lots of patients were abused there.
yay, i was *so* hoping u would do another episode for always sunny!! as an american i can say YES, people really do have interventions for their friends/family, but they're mostly treated as a joke otherwise
Always happy to see more deep dives on Sunny. I'd love to see you do either the episode Charlie Day: King of Rats, or Dennis Reynolds: Making a Murderer.
Yes, interventions are a real thing here in the US. There was even a TV show called "Intervention" on A&E. For me, a positive aspect of the show was the presentation of the addict's past, told by that person and family and friends. Not sure how I feel about seeing the actual drug seeking and use itself. There's a line between educational and exploitative. There are full episodes of the show here on TH-cam. I'd really like to see your reaction to one of those.
This is one of my all time favorite episodes. So many tiny details like the wine stains on their teeth. Plus I love outsiders being baffled by the Gang (the psychiatrist, aunt donna, etc).
I love when you pause and explain some of the most insane details of the plot. It's why I love this show. The storylines are so over-the-top bizarre that I've sort of accepted this is normal for "Sunny". You're explanations help bring to light just how off the rails the show gets.

I mean, I've known for a wee while that I have a drinking problem tied heavily in to my depression, anxiety and general insecurities. The statement about covert drinking being a problem really hit home though. I've been doing that BEFORE I realised I had a problem. Now it's really highlighting just how long this has been an issue and how bad it's gotten now. I'm drunk now though, so this revelation is likely gunna be lost in the haze of tommorrow... I need genuine help, my life is a mess and I live in constant shame and lonliness. The only time I can bring myself to be real about it is when I'm shitfaced, which only prompts sober me to drink more in a ridiculous facade of telling myself I'm doing it in order to confront my issues while really still just using it to mask everything. My life is inevitabley going to come crashing down for good at some point, most likely sooner rather than later. Yet dispite this knowledge, I continue to self destruct. I know what I need to do, but I simply can't bring myself to do it. Instead of reaching out I continuously hide the truth from everyone and I'm so far gone, I don't see a reasonable reality where I get through this. I'm not well and I don't think I ever will/can be.
That is so in interresting what you said about nightcrawlers. I bet if Charlie were asked why he did it he couldn't even really tell you. Your reactions to the gang are hilarious though, you seem so innocent!
I will always love Dennis’s response to Charlie asking if they’re going overboard “I think the yelling and, pointing and, accusing and, saying that he’s trapped and surrounded is the right thing”
Dr. Elliot - Yes, in American interventions are a thing. Normally it is done around close family and friends. It usually takes place in a family room of a private house. The participates are normally open and honest with the person in peril, and show they come from a place of love and understanding. Normally it is done to ask for the person to seek treatment, like a rehab center or to see a therapist. Everything showed in Sunny was the direct opposite of reality. Doesn't take place at a bar. Nobody is drinking or carrying weapons. The person in peril knows right away it's an intervention, not a roast section. BTW, the episode was hilarious, one of my favorites.
I wonder if another intervention episode would be good 'the pez dispenser' in Seinfeld has one and also happens to be one of my favourite tv episodes ever - unpacking George Costanza would be quite something
@@nthgth Well, yes, the reality where guns are magic shields that shouldn't be questioned until innocent unarmed people die over it, and no one's allowed to do anything about it.
@@blu3260 ..what? No, I meant the reality where superior firepower (not necessarily in the form of firearms, just as a basic concept) exists. Consider it equivalent to saying "don't bring a fist to a knife fight." Don't be thick.
11:00 it gets me everytime when he busts in thinking theres a grease fire.....with a gun, asking "wheres the fire!" while locking the hammer. Like bruh, what are you goanna do to a fire with a gun? How is the gun gonna help, i love it! Its the most american thing i can think of in the moment, they only needed to have him in a cowboy hat with some links hangin out of his pocket.
If you ask me, interventions are two fold, by having them the family and friends get to learn strength from each other and the therapist, they learn to stop being enablers and have each other to lean on for support to walk away from the addict of they choose not to get help. The addict when they arrive is told that they're loved and cared for, then listens to how their addiction affects the people they care about and are given the option to seek help for their addiction in order to maintain those relationships or continue with their addiction, but lose the relationships with all those people until they do seek help. The person with the addiction won't always choose the help, but it is beneficial to the group of people attached to the addict because they will lean on each other for the strength that they might not have otherwise found on their own.
4:28 that’s pretty much the same as the US. The point of an intervention is to try to get the person who needs help to recognize how much their addictions have impacted their relationships with friends and family. It’s intended to get them to “want” to get help. They can’t force them into hospital.
As a UK based social worker, Id say the closest thing we have to Intervention is either mediation or Family Group Conferencing - but they're all carried out from a social model rather than a medical one.
I love your reaction videos, only found them recently though but they are still very interesting. I would love to see an analysis on 'The View From Halfway Down'. It's my favourite episode of Bojack and I would just love to see you're take on it!
So recently some states have lifted laws on drug use (not on selling/distribution) in hopes that addiction itself and the isolated use will stop being viewed as a criminal offense and taken more seriously as a mental health concern. Obviously any crimes committed on any substance such as DUIs are still admissible due to you choosing to do said substances leading to you in whatever altered state to put others at risk and/or breaking other laws. Also the courts can mandate rehab, but from what I’m tracking it’s more of a grace as in “rehab or jail - if you fuck up in rehab somehow you’ll automatically subscribe to the latter”, unless other mental health conditions lead you to being sent to an inpatient care facility that will double as your rehab somewhat unintentionally. In fact my Grandma told me a fair amount of her patients were self medicating via illicit substances as painfully common as that is. (She was a pysch tech who primarily worked with dudes who kept going to jail/prison until someone was like “Hey I don’t think it’s just them breaking the law that’s the problem.”) There are also other means of ensuring you’re staying clean such as ankle bracelets that detect if you’re sweating out booze (Don’t know if they pick up other drugs in your sweat) and/or routine drug testing when visiting your probation/parol officer, or if you’re being released from psychiatric care half way houses that help transition you out of long term care do the same and are there to help you get set up and stay stabilized.
Yes! Day made and video liked before you even started. I already know that I will enjoy your professional insight into the most perfectly insane show ever put together
Insurance in america usually covers something when talking about dependence issues. There are also free community programs. Also if you get arrested on a charge that involves alchahol, you usually get therapy to help with that through the state
I had a friend whose heroin addiction had gotten really bad, and he was stealing from all of us. We were worried he was going to OD, as so many of our friends already had. So we had an intervention for him. He went to rehab and moved in with his parents for awhile while going to therapy for the underlying causes. That was 2014 and he's still sober, so it does work sometimes.
Boxed wine is actually a thing in other places than the US as well. Here in the States, it has generally been reserved for lower-quality wine, but in recent years it's expanded to nicer wines in some cases, usually due to sustainability and environmental reasons. I also lived in Japan for a few years, and all kinds of wine are boxed there, even nice sakes in some cases. 😁👍
Dee is drinking a can of Wine there! LMADO! The big COOL thing the gang finds in that episode is Boxed wine and putting it in soda cans so they can go around all.day and everywhere drinking wine LMADO!🤣🤣🤣
There's a series called Intervention, which probably was stopped because eventually people would catch on to it not being a documentary about their addiction. They had eating disorders, drugs, alcohol. Then the people who were enabling them, like letting the addict live with them for free and they would pay for the substance. The people would write letters saying how it affected them. The addict would have to agree and they'd be flown out of state. It wouldn't work during the pandemic or in the UK because it's too small. It was an entertaining show. We had celebrity rehab too
30 year old American, born and raised, I have never once heard of a real life intervention happening. And I work in the culinary industry so there's a constant revolving door of the exact kind of people who would need an intervention coming in and out of my life. I think they're pretty exclusively a sitcom or reality TV troupe
I think interventions became more popular after TV shows where they would give an intervention to someone who was addicted to something or other. I could be wrong but there was an ep in 'How I Met your Mother' where the group is loves giving each other interventions.
Not sure if you've done it yet, but I'd be curious to see your reactions to "Making Dennis Reynolds a Murderer" from IASIP. I'm sure there's probably plenty in that episode to pick through that would be worth your time.
Based off of my own experience an intervention is where one or more of your closest friends sits you down and has a conversation with you about behavior that you need to change for your own good. Another case is when 2 or more friends in a group are arguing repeatedly, and a mutual friend or multiple mutual friends will willingly insert themselves between the squabbling parties as an intermediary.
It's a big thing. They have "facilitators" who get certified from organizations that help organize and guide them. Often they are ex addicts. It's a group confrontation where everyone tells the person how they are hurting them. The goal is almost always to get them from the intervention into rehab. We had a whole TV series that documented them. They seem to devolve into screaming matches at some point every time. I don't know if there's ever been an studies on how effect they are.
Just found this channel, binged lots of videos, subscribed because I love it lol. Interventions are definitely a thing in the US, not overly common but one happened to me. It’s basically a giant guilt trip that makes you feel nothing but shame and regret to the point of seeking help. Not pleasant and not helpful, in my opinion.
Well we don't really have interventions in Germany too but there are possibilities to detain someone because of C2 or drug abusus but there have to be different happenings in order to admit someone to a psychiatric ward
So a thing that's common in the area where I live which is South East Georgia in the US is after funerals we go out and get smashed in the honor of who passed. Not sure what that says about us. Never seen an "intervention" in my 30 years of life and not sure what good they would do.
Interventions are where the Addict or person with the issues, friends and family members get together and discuss how the person's behavior/addiction/issue is affecting everyone in their life and how its hurting them. "You're not the person I used to know" is a common statement. Theres a TV show that's about them. Not done correctly can have a bad effect. Kurdt Cobain was given one that didnt go well before he'd left (reluctantly) and checked into Exodus (rehabilitation facility) he was intervened by his wife (whom had issues with drugs) and there were a few others that had substance issues whom were there calling him out for his and stuff and its said they used the "Tough love" approach from the 80's. Berating him and beating him into submission. Poor man. It didnt work out in the end and he wound up taking his own life. Interventions can be real bad because to truly get off any form of substance, be it drugs, cigs, caffeine or simply just awful behavior towards others... the person has to be done with that form of life and want the change. I highly recommend watching the TV show my dude! A&E, Discovery, TruTV or one of the cable channels is the network that shows it. Travis Meeks from "Days of the New" was a standout one I do recall. He was a musician. It focuses on just regular people whom have heavy substance issues.
I think it’s so different for us since very few people in the US have government healthcare. So addiction treatment, rehabs, and interventions are something people and insurance are willing to pay for, so boom they exist. I am not sure they are all good things though, idk if there is much success in getting clean here either.
Interventions absolutely do exist and occur in America, but they're not as common as media seems to make them out to be. They are designed to convince the person to get their own help because we also cannot force people into rehab
Intervention is a big way to help family, friends and loved ones. Btw I stumbled across your channel. I love it and thank you for saying being gay is not a mental illness. My family and friends did an intervention with me. It helped with my drug and alcohol addiction. 5 yrs sober and helping others.
Here in America, interventions mainly consist of grabbing the subject of said intervention while they’re vulnerable and least expecting it, throwing them in a trunk, then taking them to a secondary location where we put them in a chair in the center of a pentagram made out of Big Macs and cylinders from Colt revolvers. We then form a circle around them and repeatedly yell “YOU’RE TEARING US APAAAART! YOU’RE TEARING US APAAAART!” In thick Brooklyn accents. It may sound a bit harsh but our healthcare system pretty much gatekeeps poor folks out of therapy so we find alternative solutions.
We do have interventions here in the US, but it's NOTHING like it is in the show. Basically, the idea behind an intervention is to convince an addict (or any loved one with an untreated mental health issue) to get help. Sometimes that involves showing concern for their health, but it also usually involves talking to them about how the issue affects you as well. The therapist that they're talking to around the 7 minute mark is fairly close to how it would actually be here in the States. For the record though, our drug and alcohol rehab system isn't great either, our biggest two, Alcoholics Anonymous and Narcotics Anonymous, both have a religious bent to them and most people end up just trading one addiction for another when they go through those programs.

Oooooh boi
Oof 😔
"Don't be like Dennis" is a lifelong goal.
As a UK based social worker, Id say the closest thing we have to Intervention is either mediation or Family Group Conferencing - but they're all carried out from a social model rather than a medical one.
Love how this about an intervention and there is a shelf filled with alcohol in the background. 😂
I found a new way to enjoy iasip. Great channel!
I love your reaction videos, only found them recently though but they are still very interesting. I would love to see an analysis on 'The View From Halfway Down'. It's my favourite episode of Bojack and I would just love to see you're take on it!
8:09 wow
Anterograde amnesia is that Blackout sensation
Love the content man! Great stuff! Could you do the Chardee MacDennis game of games episode???
So recently some states have lifted laws on drug use (not on selling/distribution) in hopes that addiction itself and the isolated use will stop being viewed as a criminal offense and taken more seriously as a mental health concern. Obviously any crimes committed on any substance such as DUIs are still admissible due to you choosing to do said substances leading to you in whatever altered state to put others at risk and/or breaking other laws. Also the courts can mandate rehab, but from what I’m tracking it’s more of a grace as in “rehab or jail - if you fuck up in rehab somehow you’ll automatically subscribe to the latter”, unless other mental health conditions lead you to being sent to an inpatient care facility that will double as your rehab somewhat unintentionally. In fact my Grandma told me a fair amount of her patients were self medicating via illicit substances as painfully common as that is. (She was a pysch tech who primarily worked with dudes who kept going to jail/prison until someone was like “Hey I don’t think it’s just them breaking the law that’s the problem.”) There are also other means of ensuring you’re staying clean such as ankle bracelets that detect if you’re sweating out booze (Don’t know if they pick up other drugs in your sweat) and/or routine drug testing when visiting your probation/parol officer, or if you’re being released from psychiatric care half way houses that help transition you out of long term care do the same and are there to help you get set up and stay stabilized.
Yes! Day made and video liked before you even started. I already know that I will enjoy your professional insight into the most perfectly insane show ever put together
Insurance in america usually covers something when talking about dependence issues. There are also free community programs. Also if you get arrested on a charge that involves alchahol, you usually get therapy to help with that through the state
I had a friend whose heroin addiction had gotten really bad, and he was stealing from all of us. We were worried he was going to OD, as so many of our friends already had. So we had an intervention for him. He went to rehab and moved in with his parents for awhile while going to therapy for the underlying causes. That was 2014 and he's still sober, so it does work sometimes.
7:46 "They're all dependent on alcohol" says the man with loads of alcohol just --> ROFL.
2:45 This is obviously a man who has obviously not seen Gale the snail yet! 🤣
I love the always sunny reactions!
Boxed wine is actually a thing in other places than the US as well. Here in the States, it has generally been reserved for lower-quality wine, but in recent years it's expanded to nicer wines in some cases, usually due to sustainability and environmental reasons.
I also lived in Japan for a few years, and all kinds of wine are boxed there, even nice sakes in some cases. 😁👍
I'm going to keep pleading that you react to the two EUPHORIA SPECIAL EPISODES. Thank you. :)
I was so excited to see how he reacted to the snail, perfect!
Dee is drinking a can of Wine there! LMADO! The big COOL thing the gang finds in that episode is Boxed wine and putting it in soda cans so they can go around all.day and everywhere drinking wine LMADO!🤣🤣🤣
Omg please do, “mac and Dennis buy a time share” poor Ben smith hahahahaha
There's a series called Intervention, which probably was stopped because eventually people would catch on to it not being a documentary about their addiction. They had eating disorders, drugs, alcohol. Then the people who were enabling them, like letting the addict live with them for free and they would pay for the substance. The people would write letters saying how it affected them. The addict would have to agree and they'd be flown out of state. It wouldn't work during the pandemic or in the UK because it's too small. It was an entertaining show. We had celebrity rehab too
30 year old American, born and raised, I have never once heard of a real life intervention happening. And I work in the culinary industry so there's a constant revolving door of the exact kind of people who would need an intervention coming in and out of my life.
I think they're pretty exclusively a sitcom or reality TV troupe
I think interventions became more popular after TV shows where they would give an intervention to someone who was addicted to something or other. I could be wrong but there was an ep in 'How I Met your Mother' where the group is loves giving each other interventions.
Please do more reaction videos of Bojack Horseman!
They're coming!
Items in your background are very fitting
Not sure if you've done it yet, but I'd be curious to see your reactions to "Making Dennis Reynolds a Murderer" from IASIP. I'm sure there's probably plenty in that episode to pick through that would be worth your time.
love your vids, i watch the bojack one a lot. u should do more bojack, maybe like free churro or something
"someone is going to get shot", that person would, undoubtedly, be cricket.
Based off of my own experience an intervention is where one or more of your closest friends sits you down and has a conversation with you about behavior that you need to change for your own good. Another case is when 2 or more friends in a group are arguing repeatedly, and a mutual friend or multiple mutual friends will willingly insert themselves between the squabbling parties as an intermediary.
Love the channel
It's a big thing. They have "facilitators" who get certified from organizations that help organize and guide them. Often they are ex addicts. It's a group confrontation where everyone tells the person how they are hurting them. The goal is almost always to get them from the intervention into rehab. We had a whole TV series that documented them. They seem to devolve into screaming matches at some point every time. I don't know if there's ever been an studies on how effect they are.
Just found this channel, binged lots of videos, subscribed because I love it lol. Interventions are definitely a thing in the US, not overly common but one happened to me. It’s basically a giant guilt trip that makes you feel nothing but shame and regret to the point of seeking help. Not pleasant and not helpful, in my opinion.
Well we don't really have interventions in Germany too but there are possibilities to detain someone because of C2 or drug abusus but there have to be different happenings in order to admit someone to a psychiatric ward
So a thing that's common in the area where I live which is South East Georgia in the US is after funerals we go out and get smashed in the honor of who passed. Not sure what that says about us. Never seen an "intervention" in my 30 years of life and not sure what good they would do.
Interventions are where the Addict or person with the issues, friends and family members get together and discuss how the person's behavior/addiction/issue is affecting everyone in their life and how its hurting them. "You're not the person I used to know" is a common statement. Theres a TV show that's about them. Not done correctly can have a bad effect.
Kurdt Cobain was given one that didnt go well before he'd left (reluctantly) and checked into Exodus (rehabilitation facility) he was intervened by his wife (whom had issues with drugs) and there were a few others that had substance issues whom were there calling him out for his and stuff and its said they used the "Tough love" approach from the 80's. Berating him and beating him into submission. Poor man.
It didnt work out in the end and he wound up taking his own life.
Interventions can be real bad because to truly get off any form of substance, be it drugs, cigs, caffeine or simply just awful behavior towards others... the person has to be done with that form of life and want the change.
I highly recommend watching the TV show my dude! A&E, Discovery, TruTV or one of the cable channels is the network that shows it.
Travis Meeks from "Days of the New" was a standout one I do recall. He was a musician. It focuses on just regular people whom have heavy substance issues.
I think it’s so different for us since very few people in the US have government healthcare. So addiction treatment, rehabs, and interventions are something people and insurance are willing to pay for, so boom they exist. I am not sure they are all good things though, idk if there is much success in getting clean here either.
Sweet Dee Has a Heart Attack Season 4 Episode 10. You mention Danny Devito and his roles in other movies, this has a pretty cool part to it
Interventions absolutely do exist and occur in America, but they're not as common as media seems to make them out to be. They are designed to convince the person to get their own help because we also cannot force people into rehab
Intervention is a big way to help family, friends and loved ones. Btw I stumbled across your channel. I love it and thank you for saying being gay is not a mental illness. My family and friends did an intervention with me. It helped with my drug and alcohol addiction. 5 yrs sober and helping others.
5 years is amazing! Congrats
I have never heard of someone having an intervention. But I have had several scares where I thought I was about to be the subject of one.
Here in America, interventions mainly consist of grabbing the subject of said intervention while they’re vulnerable and least expecting it, throwing them in a trunk, then taking them to a secondary location where we put them in a chair in the center of a pentagram made out of Big Macs and cylinders from Colt revolvers. We then form a circle around them and repeatedly yell “YOU’RE TEARING US APAAAART! YOU’RE TEARING US APAAAART!” In thick Brooklyn accents. It may sound a bit harsh but our healthcare system pretty much gatekeeps poor folks out of therapy so we find alternative solutions.
I'd love to see you breaking down an episode of My Mad Fat Diary! That show really had an impact on me in my teens
Is boxed wine not a thing outside of USA?
We do have interventions here in the US, but it's NOTHING like it is in the show. Basically, the idea behind an intervention is to convince an addict (or any loved one with an untreated mental health issue) to get help. Sometimes that involves showing concern for their health, but it also usually involves talking to them about how the issue affects you as well. The therapist that they're talking to around the 7 minute mark is fairly close to how it would actually be here in the States. For the record though, our drug and alcohol rehab system isn't great either, our biggest two, Alcoholics Anonymous and Narcotics Anonymous, both have a religious bent to them and most people end up just trading one addiction for another when they go through those programs.
Such a great show!
.. Also, always sunny is a great show 😊
Anyone else notice the lil’ bar on his right whilst he comments on alcoholism lolll
Also love your channel ☺️
“The solution to one gun is more guns” the US in a nutshell 💀
i don’t know if you’ve seen better call saul, but it would be cool to see you react to an episode about chuck’s illness.
