@ville__ "LGBT sin group?" grow up. I'd call you an idiot, but that's offensive to well-meaning stupid people. You really have to work at it to reach your level of wilful ignorance.
it wasnt even funny either, like i thought she wouldve been like "i told you so" or just pretended everything was normal but instead they just went silent and the joke ended at "haha she looks like an ugly guy now and husband shocked"
@@samiramartìnezza As a trans guy.. yes, it is. Just because it might not offend you or you might not see it as such, it's definitely still... transphobia-coded, if that makes sense. In general, misogyny and transphobia overlap A LOT. Something that is written to be misogynistic a lot of time ends up as transphobic and vis versa. They are very intertwined, especially for these types of "comedians" because they tend to offend any kind of minority for a "joke" (hence the gay police officer thing). If you're not offended by it, cool, but it's still a stewing pot of misogyny and transphobia
It is horrifying how immune to compassion people are. "If your support of people's rights ends when someone is rude to you, then you didn't care in the first place"
I’m autistic and the amount of people who decide I’m not worth basic dignity when I try to be nice and don’t perform the niceness to the standards they haven’t communicated is staggering
"Haha, my girlfriend is showing all the textbook signs of being an abuser including getting unreasonably jealous over things outside of my control and then blaming/berating me for them, being extremely possessive when I'm near other women, becoming verbally and physically aggressive and even assaulting me, but isn't that so funny and quirky that she does that!" No man, these are just hard to watch
I had a stupid situation happen to me on a holiday. My now-ex (male, 28 at the time, that was messed up, btw, mentally I mean) blamed me (female, 22 at the time) that I wasn't posessive and agressive enough. He'd just seen me get screwed over by a saleswoman and had told me, still in awe, how attractive she was in comparison to me-the spineless weakling. He said I had no fire, no passion. He wanted me to get angry whenever I caught him with a woman in the kitchen, drunk touching eachother, he said; 'But you just let me get away with those things, don't you?' I said that instead I usually cried and wanted to talk. He felt that was weak. He wanted fire, passion, etc. He said thát was attractive in a woman. Since his mother had been a very controlling and posessive woman, I refused to be like that (also, that is nót me, I will not change who I am) but I temporarily settled for a quickfix and after he said that, I turned around and walked the other way in the shoppingstreet. He followed me, questioning what I was doing, after which I started ordering him around to hold my bag, shut up, hold this scarf etc. I imitated the posessive nature of his mother, the lady in the shop, I just *became* posessive for a minute or two. I held his arm tightly, pushed him around, made him wait outside the store and I downtalked every item in the store, before rushing out again with loud heels clacking on the road. After 2 minutes he grabbed me and asked what the hell I thought I was doing and why I was being a mean bitch. I explained that that is exactly what he wanted. He then silently stared at me, got his bag, walked into a random bus (that appareantely went to the right hotel?) and I nearly didn't get in in time. He ignored me throughout the busride, pushed me away and laughed whenever I fell over due to the wobbly bus. After we arrived, he walked into the lift on his own, opened the door and barely let me in, he just gave me the silent treatment as if I was a ghost. He locked himself in the bathroom, took a shower, put his pyjamas on and went to bed and turned the lights off. It had been about 45 minutes by then, not a word had been spoken. I was crying at this point and he just stared at me and said; 'I hope that warning was enough? Don't you dare try to trick me ever again!' while I profusely apologized and cried some more. (I feel it is important to mention this was the last year we were together and I had normally never 'pulled a stunt' like this, but due to sleeploss and fever-like illnesses I was more "done" than usual and decided to fight back for once. I was normally very kind (he'd have called it weak) and he never trusted me, because his mom used to be nice whenever she wanted something from him.)
this is pretty much all shitty toxic relationship comedy. its either "lol my woman is jealous and abusive amirite?" "lol my husband is a lazy controlling abusive douche" or "we have absolutely no communication or anything in common, everyone can relate."
and the creators and people who find this humour funny are the people who counter domestic violence victims who are women by arguing that men who are domestic violence victims aren't taken seriously. Like no shit you're the kind of person who doesn't take it seriously!
no you have to understand bad relationship is funny! and its not like the slappable jerk or that other chick where they parodize it its literally just "X be like" and then theyre always derogatory in some way
19:36 “plus she’s albanian. They don’t trust people” as an albanian person this is hilarious because the concept of trust is one of the most important things in our culture 💀💀💀💀
i know right? i myself am serbian but our countries are neighbors and yeah exactly it's all about trust in these parts like what even was that tiktok LMAO
As someone who was previously homeless I thank you so much for highlighting how gross these creators are for creating false situations for teenage TikTok users to get mad at. It’s the most unproductive form of content in my opinion
I learned growing up that giving food is the right way to help a homeless person. There's fake people who will use money to just buy beer, so giving food instead means you're actually helping someone and dong a good deed!❤
@@fuzzyotterpaws4395cash really is better. Food is fine, but remember that if you are homeless you have nowhere to store food. Fresh food will attract rats and make your sleeping area more dangerous. If you must buy something, ask the person what they need. Often it's socks, soap, propane for their camp stove if they have one, etc. but honestly just cash is your best bet. Even if it's spent on alcohol, that's often used to make living on the street bearable.
@@fuzzyotterpaws4395 first of all) I have so many food allergies I actually HATED when people gave me food without asking me what I wanted. Second of all) alcohol addiction doesn’t make someone a “fake” it makes them an addict. You really shouldn’t judge if you haven’t been an addict. Why does it matter what they spend money on once you give it to them? I used to primarily ask for money when I was homeless because I still needed to pay my car note once a month to keep my job. Not to mention the amount of showers and laundry loads I had to pay for.
@@fuzzyotterpaws4395Giving money to a proper charity is very helpful. Frankly I think if a homeless person wants a beer, idc and I’m not going to judge. However, just know that most people in homeless shelters have jobs and about 40% of all homeless people are employed. So we should be condemning corporate greed more than we should be looking down on the unhoused.
I guess its they don't like their partner but loves them too much to leave them or they don't want to deal with the stigma of being single or divorced.
@@kappadarwin9476 I think it's usually because there's so much pressure from society to get married and have kids when you're still young, so either they're too young to know that they made the wrong decision or make it just because they feel like they have to, resulting in not actually loving or caring about their own partner
It doesn't have to be like that! Don't give in to pressure to get married if you're unsure, and don't stay with someone just to keep the peace. I've been with my husband for 17 years and I still can't get enough, he's my best friend and we do everything together. It can be really great.
Admittedly, if you say to someone "I'll buy you a sandwich" and you get them Lunchables, they have EVERY RIGHT to be angry. Doubly so because it's framed like "you're begging on the street, so you should feel grateful that you're getting anything!"
"I hate my wife" Boomer humour has migrated from jokes about abusing her to jokes about her abusing you, and yet it's still completely centred on misogyny.
Idk, I'm newly married, in my 20s, and not a boomer but I find these things funny. Is it gut-bustingly hilarious? Nah. But it's obviously overdone for a joke. Like no, it's not really okay if someone beats you up or to hate your wife, but this is an exaggeration of a common feeling that "Omg my wife is jealous" lol. My wife and I joke about this kinda thing with each other all the time. Jokes are where you're allowed to take things to the extreme for comedic effect I think
@@fark69 I get what you're saying, and I've seen the jealousy humor done well, but... This particular type of content is really pushing "jealousy" to "hostility", and the husband doesn't seem happy about being treated like that
As someone that has been homeless with my boyfriend due to domestic violence seeing that “skit” is really damaging. The entire time we were homeless we would get alienating stares from people assuming we were the problem. The amount of people thinking we were junkies or similar was very disheartening at an already difficult time. We were lucky enough to receive help from people (with a tent, pillows and some food) and we were eternally grateful! Perpetuating this idea that homeless people aren’t grateful is damaging. Mentally it is such a hard and scary place to be so when someone in this situation isn’t overly grateful that’s not to say they don’t appreciate the help. We were exhausted (getting a couple hours of sleep a day because we were too scared to sleep for longer because of being harassed which did happen) and in survival mode. Or to say that we are lazy. We had people say we were lazy and if we weren’t we wouldn’t be in the situation. Whereas what they didn’t see is that we had a youth social worker, we’re linked in to EVERY eligible service on waiting lists, filled out government housing applications etc. And content like this not showing the actual struggles and making people think that every homeless person thinks or is that way. Or is better off than they seem (prada shoes in the skit) is damaging.
You said "We were eternally grateful" which makes no flippin' sense, as, if you were eternally grateful it would last for an eternity, so you would use present tense; due to this obvious lie I am pretty convinced you are still a drughead junkie fiend and I wish you good luck in your recovery and hope you get better soon.
The man proposes , buys a ring, gets engaged to the woman, they have a wedding- if he doesn’t want to be married and he hates his wife so much, why go to all that trouble? They literally ask for it. No one forced them to do this . If they’re not happy, go to couples therapy or something instead of making mean jokes. If you still hate eachother after that, leave and be with someone else.
@@Lunakitty1234eh, you cant say no one forced them when society is constantly pressuring people to get married and have kids young sadly. Its not to prominent in the US but in some other countries its still a super prominent thing 😕
This is actually really funny content I gotta check out! The "anything you say can and will be used against you" line being used for marriage was HILARIOUS and it's so true hahaha😂
“I thought a hungry person would eat anything” I think intended as a sincere line is truly something a supervillain would say while trying to make someone eat a rat like , yeah if I haven’t eaten all day I might be mad if someone buys me lunchables instead of a sandwich especially when that’s what they had just said
an interview that stuck with me and will for the rest of my life. someone asked a 90 year old homeless woman what she would have done different had she known she would be homeless, she said " i wouldn't have worked so hard my entire life. " like damn.
I was homeless a few years ago. Mostly due to drug addiction. Unfortunately many people see both my addiction and the consequence of homelessness as a choice. But I promise you I chose none of it. Everything you said about homelessness, Jarvis, was totally on point. I deserved to be treated as human just as much then as I did before I was an addict AND now being 3.5 years clean. Every human being deserves autonomy, including financial autonomy, even if that means they buy drugs with the money they are GIFTED. If you can’t tolerate that, don’t give. We are all people doing the best we can with the situations we’re in. It’s really a very simple thing to have empathy for others.
if the best you can do in your situation is being homeless, clearly your situation needs to change. and part of that would be not having access to life-ruining drugs that fuel your addiction. hence why people offer food instead of money.
@@perperperpenpeople don’t just survive by eating though?? They need clothes for the winter, shoes to walk around, they need hygienic products and maybe even a gym membership to take a shower because homeless shelters are usually packed, oh and they need to take buses. If someone already gave them food, they are no longer hungry, and its like restaurant food or anything that goes bad then they won’t be able to do it. I understand if you don’t feel comfortable giving someone money but food cannot buy you those other necessities. Is there a possibility that they’ll use it for drugs but thats not even the majority of homeless people and even if it was, I’d rather risk it if it means that person might use it for a bus. Edit: Oh and obviously they need a HOME but that is a lot harder to give to someone
@Aros4 if someone wanted to donate those things, they wouldnt go and hand them out (how would you know a homeless persons clothing size, shoe size, or other preferences?), they would just donate to some charity organization that would help get that stuff to people in need. food and water are the most basic needs, plus, if people dont have to worry as much about their food expenses, it'll be easier for them to go and cover some of their other needs (money saved is money earned).
@@perperperpen Right because substance abuse disorders are that simple. The best thing you can do for a homeless person is give them MONEY, that is what the research shows. They are adults and it is not your job to dictate what you think they should or shouldn't be allowed to do. People become homeless for countless reasons. Plus even if I knew someone was going to go buy drugs with the money I gave them I would still happily give it. At the very least they won't go into severe withdrawal on the street, especially in the states where getting into any sort of detox or rehab program costs endless amounts of money. What fuels peoples addiction is not the substance itself, it's the reasons why they turned to a substance in the first place. I can't fix the healthcare system, the housing crisis, workplace discrimination or the countless other things that contribute to homelessness but I can give a few dollars here and there and trust that that person is doing their best to survive. They may need money to pick up a prescription for something like methadone, which is a treatment option that saved my mother from her heroine addiction. But most people will not be comfortable enough telling a stranger that, regardless of if they are offering help. They may need pads or tampons, bus fare to get to a shelter or soup kitchen, they may need hygiene products. They also do not owe you an explanation of what they need. At the very least giving them money means they have their own agency in taking care of themselves. It is none of your business how they do that. Generosity should not include a transaction or control. You have no idea what that person needs. I'm sure you will come back with a reply that restates your original opinion and ignores my points so great.
I used to be homeless myself. I learned just how cruel people can be and, how much homeless people are treated like wild animals or just not human. I was still a kid at this point mind you and typically people treat kids better but not if your homeless apparently.
@Jearbearjenkins100% true. Most people are MUCH closer to becoming homeless than we care to see. I wonder if that's why people can be so heartless - they're actually afraid to accept that frightening reality.
I learned growing up that giving food is the right way to help a homeless person. There's fake people who will use money to just buy beer, so giving food instead means you're actually helping someone and dong a good deed!❤
@@fuzzyotterpaws4395I learned growing up that people need more than food to survive, they need clothes, hygiene products, blankets and sleeping bags, etc. I get you mean well, but gifts don’t come with stipulations. Addiction is more complicated than “just don’t so drugs/drink”, cold turkey withdrawal from some substances (including alcohol!) can kill you. If you want to help unhoused people with addictions, advocate for infrastructure that wil support them and doesn’t force them to be clean before they get government housing, rather just trying to recover. You don’t have to give money to people, but it helps way more.
in my city they do act like wild animals / not human though most of them are 50-60 year old men who creep on teenagers at the middle school and start drinking at 7am
seeing jarvis talk about the homelessness crisis is just so amazing to me as i work to get those who are unhoused, housed. they face an incredible amount of stigma daily, and having tiktok’s like this shine an even more negative light on this subject annoys me to no end. seeing someone as amazing as jarvis acknowledging this and talking about how lack of services contributes to the homelessness crisis is just so refreshing to hear 🙏🏻 love you jarvis
THANK YOU for the work you do. I grew up wealthy, and as a young adult spent a year on the streets, now live comfortably and volunteer to give back. I'm familiar with all walks of life, but cant imagine WHO would laugh at such nonsense, much less CREATE it. So Lame.
I don't have a negative stigma about them, I just don't like them screaming at me for simply walking by and them threatening to kill my dogs. Or standing in one spot in a public area yelling every single profanity and violent threats and then get mad nobody wants to make eye contact.
@@cocogoat1111 gonna be real, somebody doing that is probably going through a psychotic break and having a way worse day than you are. still sucks to deal with, but have a little bit of compassion
Nobody can tell me marriage hating jokes because my instant response is, "Have you considered divorce?" And suddenly they don't feel like being funny anymore
It's almost like the joke is that they love each other enough to commit to one another but find humor in exaggerating how they annoy each other, and you suggesting they should break their commitments is indirectly implying they don't love one another and shows them you don't understand the joke so there's no point making any more of them
@@drawingdragonit's almost like you don't know what you are talking about and you're complaining about something you don't understand. There is a difference between lightly making a joke about your spouse THAT YOUR SPOUSE WOULD FIND FUNNY and making a "I hate my marriage" "joke" that would hurt your spouse if they heard it. Stop assuming that people don't understand nuance.
09:23 I’ve had homeless people reject my help before. But because they’re FELLOW HUMANS I heard them when they followed it up with WHY they rejected it. “Thanks, but I can’t take coins because I don’t have a way to carry a bunch of coins like I can with paper money.” That’s when I also learned that many homeless shelters require payment. Here, most/all of the, are $6 a night. “I can’t eat this! I don’t have any good teeth left!” 😅 As someone who barely has dental insurance and also has bad teeth, I probably should’ve seen that coming and given him some food that’s easy to eat.
also for the coins point, many shelters will not let you leave valuables or will steal, and it's a lot harder to sleep with coins safely in your pocket or bra than it is to sleep with bills. so even if coins weren't basically useless and bulky, they're more likely to be stolen from you than they are to help you.
I'm from the U.S. and my husband is from Honduras. Even though we both speak the other's language, we still have moments of hilarious mix-ups in terms of words or phrases. I can think of a lot of skits that they could have done that would have been much funnier without making the non-native speaker look incompetent.
It is such an old joke as well. I mean, stereotypes are fun sometimes and I'm not easily offended when it comes to my culture (Dutch) but when I watch American movies, especially around the 90's-to-2000's that have a movie in which they visit Europe (usually part 3) there is always só much made-up stuff that is just sad to watch. And it goes so much further than Dutch people wearing (famously German/Bavarian) Lederhosen or Germans wearing (famously Dutch) clogs or Germans being bald, fat men that are into BDSM. It usually includes the Europeans being clueless about hygiene, about politeness, modern equipment, "fashion" and then the American (usually-)girl comes in and she saves the day, by educating and leading these stupid foreigners on the right path towards being a decent human being. Add in a disgusting made-up tradition, some horrific "food" made from raw animalintestines, some predatory foreign men trying to get the blonde girl and óne American boy to save the day and be her 'safe choice' and tadah, you've got yourself a movie. Oh right and the female Germans are all called Günter Schmidt (the equivalent of calling an American _woman_ *Hank* MCDonalds) and the eastern european women are all prostitutes and the Dutch people are into sniffing farts and are riddled with STD's, ready to sodomize any unfortunate tourists that fall off the tourbus. And the French are all snobby and snooty (that one might be right.) Seriously though, I have yet to find an American movie or series that doesn't include thát amount of awful prejudice, untrue statements, dumb foreigners, blonde Americans explaining that you cán pluck your monobrow and a random Russian grandma with a mouldy foot on a rockingchair, putting random curses on the unborn children of tourists that look at her dog.
Good thing that Jarvis put "this is sarcasm" on the screen when he joked about intimate partner violence, otherwise Matt Rife might think he's found a friend.
Also just to add in reference to the homeless one: Just because they are desperate doesn't mean they should be grateful when you give them scraps or food for kids. They have the right to want decent meals like the rest of us. Ofc if you tell ANYONE you're going to get them a sandwich and come back with a lunchable they'll probs be upset. Now add onto that how hungry they must be and we all know lunchables don't really fill you up at all?? If anything that false hope could be worse then just ignoring them. It's just evil. Edit: As someone replied to me, people also have allergies which means they can't just accept anything. Also they can have sensory issues due to certain disabilities like Autism or just simply not like something. Being homeless doesn't mean you should make yourself suffer to survive and it really wouldn't hurt to ask them what they would actually like if you have the means to do so. And accepting food from strangers is risky anyway so there's always that danger.
Thiss, I've had people disagree with me and say that "leftovers" are better than nothing whilst giving a homeless person a half eaten slice of pizza and fries. Its crazy how demeaning it really is, I understand any food is better than no food but its like feeding scraps to a dog or throwing it in the trash
People who think like that have never truly needed for anything in their lives. They just imagine that the poor and homeless are bad people or undeserving of having anything that comforts them or makes them happy.
I think people get this idea that if you're poor, especially if you're unhoused, you can't have anything that gives you happiness, comfort, or levity. If you do, obviously you should have forgone it and gotten something essential instead. Because people don't see happiness as essential, they don't see withdrawals as horrific enough to make drugs essential for addicts, they don't have the compassion to understand why someone in the most awful situation would at times choose happiness as their priority.
seriously if i was living on the street in the freezing cold dealing with unkind and aggressive strangers and i had to chose lukewarm lunchables or heroin i'd probably go with heroin. i'm not living on the streets, not because i'd make the "better" choice, but because i'm lucky. there are homeless people who'd make every "better" choice, and there's housed people who'd make every "worse" one. either way, everyone deserves a home and happiness/comfort.
Yes, thank you for saying that homelessness is a failure of system. I get so upset when people treat homeless people with disgust and disrespect because they are homeless. I really appreciate you raising these issues in your videos.
It always grinds my gears when some of my family say "some people want to stay homeless" when i say we should help all homeless people. Like, if people are so far off the deep end of not wanting to be helped out of their misery, then that is only more reason to help them.
It's an outlet for couples that have minor problems to air and make light of them. Don't act like you don't enjoy hyperbolic comedy when it relates to your own situation.
@@Zepher0987 The minor problems are just them hating their marriage though, as a whole. It’s rarely specific. You watched the video, right? The “marriage is a prison” jokes aren’t making light of minor problems. Where’s the minor problem in feeling trapped in a marriage?
Idk my whole family loves these jokes, and now I'm newly married and my wife and I like them too. We're all happily married. They're just jokes man. It's the same as when you make jokes about how white people say silly, accidentally racist things sometimes. We exaggerate but we don't really hate living among them so much or we'd all just move away, lol. There's a lot of things you have to adjust to when you get married and live with a woman, and these jokes just make light of them. Women have their own "Ugh my husband" jokes too, and it's funny to me as well!
THANK YOU, JARVIS. Thank you for educating people about not forcing gratefulness from people experiencing housing insecurity. I work in behavioral health and it's so important to not otherize people in need.
I'm currently working on my masters in social work & I couldn't agree more. It was genuinely refreshing to see Jarvis point out how absolutely gross that kind of thinking is. People experiencing housing insecurity (AND addiction) are vulnerable, not broken. Just because they need some extra help doesn't mean they're less deserving of it.
I’m struggling to understand this line of thinking. If someone gives you a gift, you should be grateful. I was formerly homeless and I appreciate any genuine help I received. Likewise today, I stop giving gifts to people who aren’t appreciative of my efforts(their situation is irrelevant). Why be rude, when you can just say no thank you?
I feel like both Instagram Reels and Tik Tok are like AT LEAST 50% low effort, reductive, braindead Heterofatalist jokes and skits about how exhausting it is to deal with the opposite sex.
i’d argue it’s 70~80%… I downloaded the app and the amount of shitty like-baity content is found was wild.. I deinstalled it. It made me anxious about so much shit, and made me feel like time wasn’t being used productively
@@theopoaxisuponus2004that makes sense, but also they are all interaction based, so you have to scroll quickly if you dislike something which is sorta wierd since you can’t tell them that you dislike the content without having it open and giving it your time what the algorithm interprets as you liking it
“If you’re not nice to me, then you don’t deserve human rights.” I’m autistic, which means that even if I try my hardest to project the empathy I feel inside outward in a way most people would understand, it’s always going to feel inauthentic to most people. “Just be yourself,” does not work for me because my authentic expression looks robotic and callous to most people. Holy shit the number of people who give me the detriment of the doubt just because I can’t give them the performance they want is crazy. No matter how many acts of genuine kindness I do, it doesn’t matter, because the performance isn’t right. I’m convinced over 60% of the population thinks this way
Man i gotta fake empathy 99% of the time and that shits difficult. And when i do feel it, it's like worms in my chest. cant imagine actually feeling it, trying to express it and then having people be like "i don't believe you" shit sucks, sorry
I really hope Random Man has a long drag career ahead of him. He actually looks pretty good with just the wig and clothes, some queen makeup and he'd probably look amazing
I thought shallow Boomers style "I hate my wives" gags were done, which most of that was started just because of heteronormativity and lack of divorces
Eh, I'd say the main cause for those type of jokes is they way people are taught, since they're little kids, that the opposite gender is very different from them and that boys and girls can't just be friends, they can only be in love. So majority of people grows up thinking that they can never possibly understand their partner (since they're so different!) so why even bother? They also believe that they have to/want to get married, and by that logic it's impossible to expect your partner to be your friend as well. A lot would change if people stopped thinking about men and women as opposites or even different species.
@@Tacom4sterall his videos got deleted because he goes on big TH-camr channels like Kurtis Conner to say homophobic and transphobic things in the comment section. I’m like 80% sure it’s a 13 yr old or a miserable 48 yr old with kids who refuse to talk to him
I used to work with people with mental illness, and much of my job was trying to keep them housed and have their basic needs met. Many people with mental illness are failed by the system and end up on the streets. I’ve also been homeless myself due to a series of tragic circumstances. Please treat people, all people, with respect and kindness. That includes drug addicts.
@ville__ holy shit dude this is awful, not only are you a spambot, but you're also faking SA which is just deplorable. never do this again if you ever see this
Everything else aside the "entitled" homeless dude in the sketch is also 100% right, change is bulky and pretty much useless and buying someone food without finding out what they like/if they have dietary restrictions when they're literally right in front of you (and then expecting them to thank you for the gross food) is insanely rude
If you actually want to help somebody who's on the street the best thing you can do is just give them cash and let them decide what it's best used for. and if you're able to spend more money/have some extra time you can straight up ask if there's anything they need. Things like backpacks, sleeping bags, etc can be really hard to get if you're in a city and don't have any way to get around
So grateful to Jarvis for acting as a shield between me and this wretched content. The "finally, peace on Earth" comparison was so apt, but then every time Jarvis repeated it afterward it caught me so off guard that I would just lose it.
@@letterborneVods”Yes In My Backyard,” in contrast with NIMBY or “Not In My Backyard,” which is an unfortunately common sentiment for people when it comes to building things like affordable housing units in a given area.
Actually it's a lot more about lack of mental heath availability. Lots of homeless people have schizophrenia and were abandoned by mental health clinics who did not want to deal with them, so they drop them in big cities and let random civilians deal with it. Naive people really think giving them a sandwich and $20 is going to change their lives, but it doesn't even touch the real issue. In thee U.S. healthcare and mental healthcare is a luxury only the very rich can afford. You aren't going to change anybodies world by giving them $1 and some food scraps.
from what i’ve seen, we don’t really need to be building more housing, there’s a lot of unused apartments out there, the problem just seems to be prices, so we should be going after landlords and such
this video is a perfect encapsulation of why i love jarvis’ content. his discussion around the perception vs realities of unhoused people and the larger systematic failings that lead to homelessness is so so so important and backed by incredible amounts of empirical research. Also think his comments on the ‘saviour complex’ some people have around helping unhoused people are based. All in all the sociology major in me was very impressed and refreshed to see this on youtube. thanks jarvis❤️
Just wanted to add this : Just because a homeless person has a 'nice item' does not mean they are not struggling. Many people just have what they had on them/ what they could salvage. I had a friend who was homeless for a while due to addiction. All his clothing was designer but from a years ago/ thrifted and they were only clothes he had for a while. He also had books and a guitar, some other items that were borrowed from a friend including fresh brand new clothes and a tent.
I’m stuck in bed with a really painful streak of nerve pain and I’ve been watching a lot of TH-cam to pass the time! Thanks for your great content Jarvis 😁❤️
Javier has YA protagonist energy: everyone is throwing themselves at him and his love interest is absolutely feral even though he has the charisma of a spoon.
I don't think it's actually Jarvis saying "GOOOLLLDDDDDD," I think he said that it's actually an audio clip from an Austin Powers film lol. But it does sound like him
Most people are MUCH closer to becoming homeless than we care to see. I think that's why people can be so heartless - they're afraid to acknowledge that frightening reality.
The "homeless" one got me , Everytime ive been approached by an unhoused individual or a individual who is "begging" on the street, they have recognized and thanked me and my freinds when they see us again, even if all we gave was just a dollar or a donut. Why punch down on people who can't even try to defend themselves just disgusting
Seeing how much people genuinely hate their spouse/partner makes me feel so good in my relationship. My life didn’t improve BECAUSE of my marriage but after getting married I’ve had the best time of my life
in my hometown unless you work a job related to the mines youre lucky to find a bachelor appartment that you can pay for if youre single income. but more likely you'll be renting a room in someones house. the homelessness is affecting everyone regardless of morals. in north ontario the prices of rent and food keep going up but nobody is getting paid more. winter had been rather mild but when it gets cold many will likely die. the shelters are overflowing and constantly at capacity.
Premise of a better bit: The guy orders his noodles "the way God intended them" and then you cut to the waitress and the kitchen staff trying to figure out what the HELL that means.
6:58 The “I don’t want your change” did actually happened to me Someone was going around on public transit asking for money, I gave what I could spare at the time which happened to just be two dollars. (I understand it’s not a lot but it’s all I could give) And the person asking for money said “nah f that, that’s pocket change.” And wouldn’t take it. The next person offered them a stick of gum instead- I still want to help however I can, this was just an interesting experience of mind A good one I had was someone asked me for money, but this time I didn’t have any on me so I offered food. They accepted, first I offered a protein bar, and then they let me know they couldn’t eat solid foods. So, I apologized and gave them a yogurt with a lid they could turn into a spoon. We talked for a bit. She was one of the nicest, loveliest people I’ve met on public transit. TLDR; not everyone will be grateful. But their response to your kindness shouldn’t interfere with your opinions on everyone. Not all people asking for money are the same. You’re also not obligated to give stuff to anyone. If you do, great. If you don’t, that’s fine. Sorry this was long
for a lot of people who need money, there's two really common reasons they won't take coins or small amounts-- 1. they're just generally not doing awesome and taking just two dollars feels too low/desperate. poverty fucks with you and so does a lifetime of capitalist conditioning. not everyone is ready to accept that two dollars is a lot of money to them 2. small bills and coins can be much harder to use and carry, and especially when in small amounts, they often aren't worth the trouble. especially with coins, they're pretty easily lost/stolen and basically useless
I think the makeup one is really funny because if she really looked *that* different without her makeup, then they would have use used her without makeup. The fact that they had to use an entirely different person implies that she probably looked about the same, which goes directly against the dumb point they were trying to make.
4:21 i believe the cologne jarvis is referring to is called Sex Panther by Odeon. It's made with bits of real panther, so you know it's good. They've done studies, you know. Sixty percent of the time, it works every time.
There was a story I heard once where this woman went missing, right and then she was found years later, like panhandling on the street or whatever, but what actually happened where she had severe schizophrenia and didn’t know who she was didn’t know anything was so out of touch with reality because of that, but she was like homelessbut she wasn’t without a home she just needed help that she did not know she needed so like whenever I see someone homeless like I always think like you never know why they’re there and I feel like people should stop seeing homeless people as one narrative, and like a monolith
For the toilet joke near the end: oh hell no. That lid stays closed after I flush to make sure the backsplash from flushing doesn't go flying all over my bathroom.
At 18:18 As a man who lives alone, I NEVER leave the toilet seat up! NEVER! What if I had a sudden need to shit? It's absolutely moronic that any man would leave the toilet seat up, and even more moronic that it is a stereotype!
Some notes from a former homeless person (doing great now)- 1. just because somebody has nice clothes or some tech, like a phone, does not mean you are not poor or homeless. Most homeless people have phones. Nice coats and shoes are literally the first thing that are donated to shelters and given out. let's use some critical thinking, guys. 2. panhandlers are not scamming you. It makes literally no sense that someone with money to spare would debase themselves on a street corner as a side hustle for what... 50 bucks on a good day? Oftentimes there are actually "pit bosses" who control multiple pan-handling hotspots and take a cut from the desperate people who are panhandling there. So if you think they're scamming you- they're getting scammed just as much and it won't kill you to make their life a little easier. 3. speaking just from my experience, homeless people have no problem calling themselves homeless. The only people who say "houseless" or "unhoused people" are living in a different world. Homeless people have bigger problems and do not care nor feel degraded by the language you use to describe them. They feel degraded when you walk right past them and assume they're scammers for irrational reasons. Sorry, this was really long. Great video, thanks for inspiring my rant!
Yeah, “unhoused” was giving me “differently abled” vibes… like it kind of backfires into invalidating someone’s bad situation? I didn’t trade in for different abilities when I became disabled, and likewise I imagine homeless people aren’t like “my real home was the friends I made along the way!” 🙃 I had always heard the thing about panhandlers being scammers (including anecdotes that confirmed particular individuals as such… but maybe those were the bosses you described), and maybe that had more truth to it when the economy was better, but nowadays I can’t imagine it paying off in a way that anyone who had other options would do it. Anyway, glad to hear you’re doing better. Thanks for sharing your thoughts, these comments have been really interesting.
I was homeless for 3 years starting when I was 18 I lost a lot of faith in people after what I experienced I wasn't a drug user, violent, my morals haden't failed me I was just being abused and dragged around the country yet ppl still treated me like I was someone to be scared of or watch out for even tho I was just a child myself . If you're gonna give to anyone with any thought other than " I would want this if I were in their position" then just keep it movin I promise we don't need your shit !
the fact Jarvis shares my views on certain humanitarian issues makes me feel better because it means it's not just me who cares, other people who care exist and thus we can make a difference as activists
i'm gonna be a bit of an asshole here just because you sort of opened yourself up to this. what activist-ing or humanitarian act related to a cause you care about have you performed lately? personally, none. im just a lazy pos.

Honestly, I will never understand why people shit on the homeless. Like how do you know if they're going to buy drugs. Im sorry, but I rather give them a few dollars and hope they spend it on something they need than assume and not give them anything. Growing up my parents always told me not to give to panhandlers because you dont know if they're actually homeless, and I've always been like well you dont know if they're not. I mean just because you have a car or decent clothes or even a phone does not mean you are not homeless.
"I do not think they went for transphobia, I do think they arrived at transphobia" is so accurate to so many of these "jokes". and also like 80% of the comedy in every 90s sitcom ever
Regarding the first few vids, I'll never understand why sketches about literal abuse are considered funny content lol. Imagine the response if the roles were reversed Edit to add: Actually, men would probably flock to say "wOmeN aRe hoEs"
i immediately and wholeheartedly believed that that was a genuine sound clip of chance the rapper. i didn't question it at all and was ensnared in jarvis' insidious web of lies
I’ve always liked how my dad helps the homeless where he lives, it’s a big city with a lot of people who fake being homeless for free money so he doesn’t want to just give out cash so he likes to have backpacks (cheap but not used) with a clean button up shirt, some clean pants and basic supplies like water and canned fruits and veggies. If you don’t want to give money but do want to give something to help people don’t give just scraps to make yourself feel better you can easily give things that a regular items
As someone who works on a block with a severe homeless problem. If I give money and they spend it on “bad” vices, I don’t care. They still live another day. Me and everyone around me do what we can. We are also trying to survive. Everyone around me has built a connection with specific homeless people and then found out they died. It’s up to the people in power to do something. While they don’t. We do what we can. You can have a shitty health situation and become homeless. You’re right Jarvis. The system is the real issue. That bothers me the most about the homeless person bit. I set my boundaries with many of them, but at the end of the day, I want them to be okay and safe. And if the vices let them survive. Then do the vices.
12:02 okay so as a bilingual educator I do kinda see where she's coming from because my students get confused at words like "shelf" and "self" or "mat" and "map" so I see where the confusion is. But beside that this couple insane 😭
Are the other people in their videos their friends? Because having a "Which one of our friends has GIANT MELONS that we can film in invasive closeup?" conversation seems bananas
Also, it’s called “Elf ON the shelf”, so if you were to misunderstand that as “self”, there’s still the ON. So the way to represent that would be her walking in with the elf duct taped to her head like a hat 🤦🏼♂️🙄🤷🏼♂️
Also… an unhoused person having nice or expensive stuff doesn’t necessarily mean anything. There’s many reasons they could have it. Maybe they lost their housing fairly recently and still have it from before then, maybe someone gave them a really nice gift, maybe they won it somehow, maybe it was heavily on sale, maybe it’s fake. And even if they are an addict and even if that is part of how they ended up in these circumstances….. so? Addiction needs to not be so demonized. Especially since a lot of addictions weren’t necessarily taken up by choice (ie someone getting an injury, being prescribed painkillers while they heal, and then they get addicted or even being prescribed medication for mental health stuff that they then get addicted to like OxyContin). Also…. even if they do spend the money you give them on drugs….. it’s not exactly like they can just “make the responsible choice” and not do so. Not only will their body physically not let them just decide they’re done now but…. a lot of addictions can be very very very dangerous to try to quit on a dime. Like…. literally you can die. It’s not exactly the same, but having had withdrawals from one of my prescriptions that was forgotten when getting everything refilled….. yeah it’s BRUTAL. Now in my case it wasn’t gonna kill me or anything, it wasn’t the kind of medication to have that severe a withdrawal. But I was…. not myself. At one point I literally started crying, or rather my body did, when I didn’t emotionally feel the need to. Like it wasn’t even me reaching a breaking point in the tense conversation (which does happen a lot) but my body just…. physically decided it was time to cry. I actually physically couldn’t not cry. It was just…. happening. And that’s pretty tame as far as withdrawals go. Like…. what I had is nothing. It gets much much much worse!
"I don't think they went for transphobia, I think they arrived at transphobia" OOOOH BOY do I feel this. I think this is the best way to put it I've ever seen, speaking as a trans man LMAO
The argument winning sketch hurt to watch. I casually said my husband was right and I was wrong about something in front of this guy whose entire personality was guns and “women be crazy”. The dude started obnoxiously celebrating as if my husband had gotten a “win” over me, as if my husband gets credit for “taming” me rather than me getting credit for not being so egotistical that I can’t admit to being wrong? I don’t usually rant in comments but I was so triggered 😂
"I do not think they went for transphobia, I think they ARRIVED at transphobia" that sums it up perfectly thank you jarvis 😂
@ville__ "LGBT sin group?" grow up. I'd call you an idiot, but that's offensive to well-meaning stupid people. You really have to work at it to reach your level of wilful ignorance.
"is it wrong to say he's kind of slaying?"
it wasnt even funny either, like i thought she wouldve been like "i told you so" or just pretended everything was normal but instead they just went silent and the joke ended at "haha she looks like an ugly guy now and husband shocked"
As a trans girl this is not transphobic at all bruh
@@samiramartìnezza As a trans guy.. yes, it is. Just because it might not offend you or you might not see it as such, it's definitely still... transphobia-coded, if that makes sense.
In general, misogyny and transphobia overlap A LOT. Something that is written to be misogynistic a lot of time ends up as transphobic and vis versa. They are very intertwined, especially for these types of "comedians" because they tend to offend any kind of minority for a "joke" (hence the gay police officer thing).
If you're not offended by it, cool, but it's still a stewing pot of misogyny and transphobia
"If you're not nice to me, then you don't deserve human rights" is a slogan that like 80% of people unconsciously live by.
Ok.👍😎
It is horrifying how immune to compassion people are.
"If your support of people's rights ends when someone is rude to you, then you didn't care in the first place"
I’m autistic and the amount of people who decide I’m not worth basic dignity when I try to be nice and don’t perform the niceness to the standards they haven’t communicated is staggering
You see definitely see it when people start arguing that it's okay to misgender trans people after the person gets them angry/stops being friends etc

"Ill take my noodles just the way god intended it" is a powerful line, probably better than whatever the actual joke was supposed to be
The delivery of that line was so dramatic too. really adds to it and the confusion
@ville__ weird ass bot comment
Such a good line, used in literally any other context
I would imagine that would be angel hair pasta.
this was the only funny thing about these people's videos
"Haha, my girlfriend is showing all the textbook signs of being an abuser including getting unreasonably jealous over things outside of my control and then blaming/berating me for them, being extremely possessive when I'm near other women, becoming verbally and physically aggressive and even assaulting me, but isn't that so funny and quirky that she does that!" No man, these are just hard to watch
And then it’s the same men that claim feminists don’t take male abuse victims seriously
I had a stupid situation happen to me on a holiday. My now-ex (male, 28 at the time, that was messed up, btw, mentally I mean) blamed me (female, 22 at the time) that I wasn't posessive and agressive enough.
He'd just seen me get screwed over by a saleswoman and had told me, still in awe, how attractive she was in comparison to me-the spineless weakling.
He said I had no fire, no passion. He wanted me to get angry whenever I caught him with a woman in the kitchen, drunk touching eachother, he said; 'But you just let me get away with those things, don't you?'
I said that instead I usually cried and wanted to talk. He felt that was weak.
He wanted fire, passion, etc. He said thát was attractive in a woman.
Since his mother had been a very controlling and posessive woman, I refused to be like that (also, that is nót me, I will not change who I am) but I temporarily settled for a quickfix and after he said that, I turned around and walked the other way in the shoppingstreet.
He followed me, questioning what I was doing, after which I started ordering him around to hold my bag, shut up, hold this scarf etc.
I imitated the posessive nature of his mother, the lady in the shop, I just *became* posessive for a minute or two. I held his arm tightly, pushed him around, made him wait outside the store and I downtalked every item in the store, before rushing out again with loud heels clacking on the road.
After 2 minutes he grabbed me and asked what the hell I thought I was doing and why I was being a mean bitch. I explained that that is exactly what he wanted.
He then silently stared at me, got his bag, walked into a random bus (that appareantely went to the right hotel?) and I nearly didn't get in in time.
He ignored me throughout the busride, pushed me away and laughed whenever I fell over due to the wobbly bus.
After we arrived, he walked into the lift on his own, opened the door and barely let me in, he just gave me the silent treatment as if I was a ghost.
He locked himself in the bathroom, took a shower, put his pyjamas on and went to bed and turned the lights off. It had been about 45 minutes by then, not a word had been spoken.
I was crying at this point and he just stared at me and said; 'I hope that warning was enough? Don't you dare try to trick me ever again!' while I profusely apologized and cried some more.
(I feel it is important to mention this was the last year we were together and I had normally never 'pulled a stunt' like this, but due to sleeploss and fever-like illnesses I was more "done" than usual and decided to fight back for once. I was normally very kind (he'd have called it weak) and he never trusted me, because his mom used to be nice whenever she wanted something from him.)

Yea, I am glad Jarvis watched their shit and I only had to cringe to it when he wasn't talking.
this is pretty much all shitty toxic relationship comedy. its either "lol my woman is jealous and abusive amirite?" "lol my husband is a lazy controlling abusive douche" or "we have absolutely no communication or anything in common, everyone can relate."
and the creators and people who find this humour funny are the people who counter domestic violence victims who are women by arguing that men who are domestic violence victims aren't taken seriously. Like no shit you're the kind of person who doesn't take it seriously!

Seems like they did as much research on Albania as E.L. James did for The Mister and The Misses
this tracks with every other stereotype
i know right? i myself am serbian but our countries are neighbors and yeah exactly it's all about trust in these parts like what even was that tiktok LMAO
Not sure if I can believe this coming from an Albanian….
Omfg let's make an albanian Jarvis watchers group
As someone who was previously homeless I thank you so much for highlighting how gross these creators are for creating false situations for teenage TikTok users to get mad at.
It’s the most unproductive form of content in my opinion
I learned growing up that giving food is the right way to help a homeless person. There's fake people who will use money to just buy beer, so giving food instead means you're actually helping someone and dong a good deed!❤
@@fuzzyotterpaws4395cash really is better. Food is fine, but remember that if you are homeless you have nowhere to store food. Fresh food will attract rats and make your sleeping area more dangerous. If you must buy something, ask the person what they need. Often it's socks, soap, propane for their camp stove if they have one, etc. but honestly just cash is your best bet. Even if it's spent on alcohol, that's often used to make living on the street bearable.
@@fuzzyotterpaws4395 first of all) I have so many food allergies I actually HATED when people gave me food without asking me what I wanted.
Second of all) alcohol addiction doesn’t make someone a “fake” it makes them an addict. You really shouldn’t judge if you haven’t been an addict.
Why does it matter what they spend money on once you give it to them? I used to primarily ask for money when I was homeless because I still needed to pay my car note once a month to keep my job. Not to mention the amount of showers and laundry loads I had to pay for.
@@fuzzyotterpaws4395Giving money to a proper charity is very helpful. Frankly I think if a homeless person wants a beer, idc and I’m not going to judge. However, just know that most people in homeless shelters have jobs and about 40% of all homeless people are employed. So we should be condemning corporate greed more than we should be looking down on the unhoused.
Homeless now, I’m glad you got out of that situation
I will never understand why people get married to someone they do not like. This makes me never want to be in a relationship.
@BlueSodaPop_ even seeing people who do like each other that are married gives me the same feelings.
I guess its they don't like their partner but loves them too much to leave them or they don't want to deal with the stigma of being single or divorced.
@@kappadarwin9476 I think it's usually because there's so much pressure from society to get married and have kids when you're still young, so either they're too young to know that they made the wrong decision or make it just because they feel like they have to, resulting in not actually loving or caring about their own partner
It doesn't have to be like that! Don't give in to pressure to get married if you're unsure, and don't stay with someone just to keep the peace. I've been with my husband for 17 years and I still can't get enough, he's my best friend and we do everything together. It can be really great.
It's funny because it's true! Marriage is suffering, and women are baffling creatures XD But it's still love!
Admittedly, if you say to someone "I'll buy you a sandwich" and you get them Lunchables, they have EVERY RIGHT to be angry. Doubly so because it's framed like "you're begging on the street, so you should feel grateful that you're getting anything!"
They’re expecting a SANDWICH. Not Lunchables.
No genuinely. Plus, it can hardly feed a middle schooler, let alone a full grown man who may not have eaten in a while.

"I hate my wife" Boomer humour has migrated from jokes about abusing her to jokes about her abusing you, and yet it's still completely centred on misogyny.
I think that element was there in the boomer days too.
And then boomer dads wondering "why my wife & kids leave me & they don't talk to me anymore? It couldn't've been me."
women are really bad
Idk, I'm newly married, in my 20s, and not a boomer but I find these things funny. Is it gut-bustingly hilarious? Nah. But it's obviously overdone for a joke. Like no, it's not really okay if someone beats you up or to hate your wife, but this is an exaggeration of a common feeling that "Omg my wife is jealous" lol. My wife and I joke about this kinda thing with each other all the time. Jokes are where you're allowed to take things to the extreme for comedic effect I think
@@fark69 I get what you're saying, and I've seen the jealousy humor done well, but... This particular type of content is really pushing "jealousy" to "hostility", and the husband doesn't seem happy about being treated like that
As someone that has been homeless with my boyfriend due to domestic violence seeing that “skit” is really damaging. The entire time we were homeless we would get alienating stares from people assuming we were the problem. The amount of people thinking we were junkies or similar was very disheartening at an already difficult time. We were lucky enough to receive help from people (with a tent, pillows and some food) and we were eternally grateful! Perpetuating this idea that homeless people aren’t grateful is damaging. Mentally it is such a hard and scary place to be so when someone in this situation isn’t overly grateful that’s not to say they don’t appreciate the help. We were exhausted (getting a couple hours of sleep a day because we were too scared to sleep for longer because of being harassed which did happen) and in survival mode. Or to say that we are lazy. We had people say we were lazy and if we weren’t we wouldn’t be in the situation. Whereas what they didn’t see is that we had a youth social worker, we’re linked in to EVERY eligible service on waiting lists, filled out government housing applications etc. And content like this not showing the actual struggles and making people think that every homeless person thinks or is that way. Or is better off than they seem (prada shoes in the skit) is damaging.
I hope everything is going well for you.
You said "We were eternally grateful" which makes no flippin' sense, as, if you were eternally grateful it would last for an eternity, so you would use present tense; due to this obvious lie I am pretty convinced you are still a drughead junkie fiend and I wish you good luck in your recovery and hope you get better soon.

The man proposes , buys a ring, gets engaged to the woman, they have a wedding- if he doesn’t want to be married and he hates his wife so much, why go to all that trouble? They literally ask for it. No one forced them to do this . If they’re not happy, go to couples therapy or something instead of making mean jokes. If you still hate eachother after that, leave and be with someone else.

“I thought a hungry person would eat anything” I think intended as a sincere line is truly something a supervillain would say while trying to make someone eat a rat like , yeah if I haven’t eaten all day I might be mad if someone buys me lunchables instead of a sandwich especially when that’s what they had just said
an interview that stuck with me and will for the rest of my life. someone asked a 90 year old homeless woman what she would have done different had she known she would be homeless, she said " i wouldn't have worked so hard my entire life. " like damn.
I was homeless a few years ago. Mostly due to drug addiction. Unfortunately many people see both my addiction and the consequence of homelessness as a choice. But I promise you I chose none of it. Everything you said about homelessness, Jarvis, was totally on point. I deserved to be treated as human just as much then as I did before I was an addict AND now being 3.5 years clean. Every human being deserves autonomy, including financial autonomy, even if that means they buy drugs with the money they are GIFTED. If you can’t tolerate that, don’t give. We are all people doing the best we can with the situations we’re in. It’s really a very simple thing to have empathy for others.
if the best you can do in your situation is being homeless, clearly your situation needs to change. and part of that would be not having access to life-ruining drugs that fuel your addiction. hence why people offer food instead of money.
@@perperperpenpeople don’t just survive by eating though?? They need clothes for the winter, shoes to walk around, they need hygienic products and maybe even a gym membership to take a shower because homeless shelters are usually packed, oh and they need to take buses. If someone already gave them food, they are no longer hungry, and its like restaurant food or anything that goes bad then they won’t be able to do it. I understand if you don’t feel comfortable giving someone money but food cannot buy you those other necessities. Is there a possibility that they’ll use it for drugs but thats not even the majority of homeless people and even if it was, I’d rather risk it if it means that person might use it for a bus.
Edit: Oh and obviously they need a HOME but that is a lot harder to give to someone
@Aros4 if someone wanted to donate those things, they wouldnt go and hand them out (how would you know a homeless persons clothing size, shoe size, or other preferences?), they would just donate to some charity organization that would help get that stuff to people in need. food and water are the most basic needs, plus, if people dont have to worry as much about their food expenses, it'll be easier for them to go and cover some of their other needs (money saved is money earned).
@@perperperpen Right because substance abuse disorders are that simple. The best thing you can do for a homeless person is give them MONEY, that is what the research shows. They are adults and it is not your job to dictate what you think they should or shouldn't be allowed to do. People become homeless for countless reasons. Plus even if I knew someone was going to go buy drugs with the money I gave them I would still happily give it. At the very least they won't go into severe withdrawal on the street, especially in the states where getting into any sort of detox or rehab program costs endless amounts of money. What fuels peoples addiction is not the substance itself, it's the reasons why they turned to a substance in the first place. I can't fix the healthcare system, the housing crisis, workplace discrimination or the countless other things that contribute to homelessness but I can give a few dollars here and there and trust that that person is doing their best to survive. They may need money to pick up a prescription for something like methadone, which is a treatment option that saved my mother from her heroine addiction. But most people will not be comfortable enough telling a stranger that, regardless of if they are offering help. They may need pads or tampons, bus fare to get to a shelter or soup kitchen, they may need hygiene products. They also do not owe you an explanation of what they need. At the very least giving them money means they have their own agency in taking care of themselves. It is none of your business how they do that. Generosity should not include a transaction or control. You have no idea what that person needs. I'm sure you will come back with a reply that restates your original opinion and ignores my points so great.

I used to be homeless myself. I learned just how cruel people can be and, how much homeless people are treated like wild animals or just not human. I was still a kid at this point mind you and typically people treat kids better but not if your homeless apparently.
@Jearbearjenkins100% true. Most people are MUCH closer to becoming homeless than we care to see. I wonder if that's why people can be so heartless - they're actually afraid to accept that frightening reality.
I learned growing up that giving food is the right way to help a homeless person. There's fake people who will use money to just buy beer, so giving food instead means you're actually helping someone and dong a good deed!❤
@@fuzzyotterpaws4395I learned growing up that people need more than food to survive, they need clothes, hygiene products, blankets and sleeping bags, etc. I get you mean well, but gifts don’t come with stipulations. Addiction is more complicated than “just don’t so drugs/drink”, cold turkey withdrawal from some substances (including alcohol!) can kill you.
If you want to help unhoused people with addictions, advocate for infrastructure that wil support them and doesn’t force them to be clean before they get government housing, rather just trying to recover. You don’t have to give money to people, but it helps way more.
same ppl r insanely unfair to people and if you should treat anyone kindly its somebody going through something hard
in my city they do act like wild animals / not human though
most of them are 50-60 year old men who creep on teenagers at the middle school and start drinking at 7am
The fact that they think this is legitimately entertaining content for their viewers to watch is concerning… 💀
FR, the only part that was funny was the set-up for the mr beast "wife belongs in kitchen" joke (only ironically though), and the toilet seat gag .
The fact that so many people ENJOY the content is the truly concerning part.
@SweetLala25 that’s really true tbh
How do they not realize how repulsive they appear? Why portray yourself as so ignorant and miserable?
their viewers agree tho
seeing jarvis talk about the homelessness crisis is just so amazing to me as i work to get those who are unhoused, housed. they face an incredible amount of stigma daily, and having tiktok’s like this shine an even more negative light on this subject annoys me to no end. seeing someone as amazing as jarvis acknowledging this and talking about how lack of services contributes to the homelessness crisis is just so refreshing to hear 🙏🏻 love you jarvis
THANK YOU for the work you do. I grew up wealthy, and as a young adult spent a year on the streets, now live comfortably and volunteer to give back. I'm familiar with all walks of life, but cant imagine WHO would laugh at such nonsense, much less CREATE it. So Lame.
I don't have a negative stigma about them, I just don't like them screaming at me for simply walking by and them threatening to kill my dogs. Or standing in one spot in a public area yelling every single profanity and violent threats and then get mad nobody wants to make eye contact.
@ville__ nah wtf.

Nobody can tell me marriage hating jokes because my instant response is, "Have you considered divorce?" And suddenly they don't feel like being funny anymore
It's almost like the joke is that they love each other enough to commit to one another but find humor in exaggerating how they annoy each other, and you suggesting they should break their commitments is indirectly implying they don't love one another and shows them you don't understand the joke so there's no point making any more of them
@@drawingdragonit's almost like you don't know what you are talking about and you're complaining about something you don't understand. There is a difference between lightly making a joke about your spouse THAT YOUR SPOUSE WOULD FIND FUNNY and making a "I hate my marriage" "joke" that would hurt your spouse if they heard it. Stop assuming that people don't understand nuance.
Same thing with people who hate their boyfriends/girlfriends. "Have you considered breaking up? Just a thought."

I’ve had homeless people reject my help before.
But because they’re FELLOW HUMANS I heard them when they followed it up with WHY they rejected it.
“Thanks, but I can’t take coins because I don’t have a way to carry a bunch of coins like I can with paper money.”
That’s when I also learned that many homeless shelters require payment. Here, most/all of the, are $6 a night.
“I can’t eat this! I don’t have any good teeth left!”
😅 As someone who barely has dental insurance and also has bad teeth, I probably should’ve seen that coming and given him some food that’s easy to eat.
also for the coins point, many shelters will not let you leave valuables or will steal, and it's a lot harder to sleep with coins safely in your pocket or bra than it is to sleep with bills. so even if coins weren't basically useless and bulky, they're more likely to be stolen from you than they are to help you.
I'm from the U.S. and my husband is from Honduras. Even though we both speak the other's language, we still have moments of hilarious mix-ups in terms of words or phrases. I can think of a lot of skits that they could have done that would have been much funnier without making the non-native speaker look incompetent.
It is such an old joke as well. I mean, stereotypes are fun sometimes and I'm not easily offended when it comes to my culture (Dutch) but when I watch American movies, especially around the 90's-to-2000's that have a movie in which they visit Europe (usually part 3) there is always só much made-up stuff that is just sad to watch.
And it goes so much further than Dutch people wearing (famously German/Bavarian) Lederhosen or Germans wearing (famously Dutch) clogs or Germans being bald, fat men that are into BDSM.
It usually includes the Europeans being clueless about hygiene, about politeness, modern equipment, "fashion" and then the American (usually-)girl comes in and she saves the day, by educating and leading these stupid foreigners on the right path towards being a decent human being.
Add in a disgusting made-up tradition, some horrific "food" made from raw animalintestines, some predatory foreign men trying to get the blonde girl and óne American boy to save the day and be her 'safe choice' and tadah, you've got yourself a movie.
Oh right and the female Germans are all called Günter Schmidt (the equivalent of calling an American _woman_ *Hank* MCDonalds) and the eastern european women are all prostitutes and the Dutch people are into sniffing farts and are riddled with STD's, ready to sodomize any unfortunate tourists that fall off the tourbus.
And the French are all snobby and snooty (that one might be right.)
Seriously though, I have yet to find an American movie or series that doesn't include thát amount of awful prejudice, untrue statements, dumb foreigners, blonde Americans explaining that you cán pluck your monobrow and a random Russian grandma with a mouldy foot on a rockingchair, putting random curses on the unborn children of tourists that look at her dog.
Good thing that Jarvis put "this is sarcasm" on the screen when he joked about intimate partner violence, otherwise Matt Rife might think he's found a friend.
Also just to add in reference to the homeless one: Just because they are desperate doesn't mean they should be grateful when you give them scraps or food for kids. They have the right to want decent meals like the rest of us. Ofc if you tell ANYONE you're going to get them a sandwich and come back with a lunchable they'll probs be upset. Now add onto that how hungry they must be and we all know lunchables don't really fill you up at all?? If anything that false hope could be worse then just ignoring them. It's just evil.
Edit: As someone replied to me, people also have allergies which means they can't just accept anything. Also they can have sensory issues due to certain disabilities like Autism or just simply not like something. Being homeless doesn't mean you should make yourself suffer to survive and it really wouldn't hurt to ask them what they would actually like if you have the means to do so. And accepting food from strangers is risky anyway so there's always that danger.
Thiss, I've had people disagree with me and say that "leftovers" are better than nothing whilst giving a homeless person a half eaten slice of pizza and fries. Its crazy how demeaning it really is, I understand any food is better than no food but its like feeding scraps to a dog or throwing it in the trash
People who think like that have never truly needed for anything in their lives. They just imagine that the poor and homeless are bad people or undeserving of having anything that comforts them or makes them happy.
This guy's never been hungry in his life.
Also??? People have allergies? Hey also don’t know where it came from? Would you take food from a stranger?
That's why I don't give at all. Rather give nothing than scraps.
But also Prada exists at Goodwill. At least in LA… And dumpster diving down here is incredible.
I think people get this idea that if you're poor, especially if you're unhoused, you can't have anything that gives you happiness, comfort, or levity. If you do, obviously you should have forgone it and gotten something essential instead. Because people don't see happiness as essential, they don't see withdrawals as horrific enough to make drugs essential for addicts, they don't have the compassion to understand why someone in the most awful situation would at times choose happiness as their priority.
Self care for me, not for thee
seriously if i was living on the street in the freezing cold dealing with unkind and aggressive strangers and i had to chose lukewarm lunchables or heroin i'd probably go with heroin. i'm not living on the streets, not because i'd make the "better" choice, but because i'm lucky. there are homeless people who'd make every "better" choice, and there's housed people who'd make every "worse" one. either way, everyone deserves a home and happiness/comfort.
Whenever people say "don't give homeless people money they'll just spend it on drugs and alcohol" I'm like yeah? That's what I was gonna spend it on?
I'd just wonder where he buys drugs and alcohol for a nickel
@@blue-dabad33 I need the answerrrrrrr
Yes, thank you for saying that homelessness is a failure of system. I get so upset when people treat homeless people with disgust and disrespect because they are homeless.
I really appreciate you raising these issues in your videos.
It always grinds my gears when some of my family say "some people want to stay homeless" when i say we should help all homeless people. Like, if people are so far off the deep end of not wanting to be helped out of their misery, then that is only more reason to help them.
“I hate my marriage jokes” are never funny. They just sound miserable.
Right like why did you purpose in the first place
It's an outlet for couples that have minor problems to air and make light of them. Don't act like you don't enjoy hyperbolic comedy when it relates to your own situation.
@@Zepher0987 The minor problems are just them hating their marriage though, as a whole. It’s rarely specific. You watched the video, right? The “marriage is a prison” jokes aren’t making light of minor problems. Where’s the minor problem in feeling trapped in a marriage?
Idk my whole family loves these jokes, and now I'm newly married and my wife and I like them too. We're all happily married. They're just jokes man. It's the same as when you make jokes about how white people say silly, accidentally racist things sometimes. We exaggerate but we don't really hate living among them so much or we'd all just move away, lol. There's a lot of things you have to adjust to when you get married and live with a woman, and these jokes just make light of them. Women have their own "Ugh my husband" jokes too, and it's funny to me as well!
@@fark69 If you make a career about hating being married then idk what to tell you. That's sad.
THANK YOU, JARVIS.
Thank you for educating people about not forcing gratefulness from people experiencing housing insecurity. I work in behavioral health and it's so important to not otherize people in need.
thank you for your work o7
@NotVille_you have two videos and a second channel with the videos all deleted by TH-cam your content must not be that good 😂
I'm currently working on my masters in social work & I couldn't agree more. It was genuinely refreshing to see Jarvis point out how absolutely gross that kind of thinking is. People experiencing housing insecurity (AND addiction) are vulnerable, not broken. Just because they need some extra help doesn't mean they're less deserving of it.
@NotVille_ are you sure you're not @ville__
I’m struggling to understand this line of thinking. If someone gives you a gift, you should be grateful. I was formerly homeless and I appreciate any genuine help I received. Likewise today, I stop giving gifts to people who aren’t appreciative of my efforts(their situation is irrelevant). Why be rude, when you can just say no thank you?
I feel like both Instagram Reels and Tik Tok are like AT LEAST 50% low effort, reductive, braindead Heterofatalist jokes and skits about how exhausting it is to deal with the opposite sex.
I agree! And with half of the Facebook population having migrated to Instagram, it'll only get worse from here.
i’d argue it’s 70~80%… I downloaded the app and the amount of shitty like-baity content is found was wild.. I deinstalled it. It made me anxious about so much shit, and made me feel like time wasn’t being used productively
Well, some of us are confused, considering "when her make up washes off" in the rain, Now you have a man in the rain, in full make up....🙄
I've found some great creators on Tiktok. The app is really what you make of it
@@theopoaxisuponus2004that makes sense, but also they are all interaction based, so you have to scroll quickly if you dislike something which is sorta wierd since you can’t tell them that you dislike the content without having it open and giving it your time what the algorithm interprets as you liking it
“If you’re not nice to me, then you don’t deserve human rights.”
I’m autistic, which means that even if I try my hardest to project the empathy I feel inside outward in a way most people would understand, it’s always going to feel inauthentic to most people. “Just be yourself,” does not work for me because my authentic expression looks robotic and callous to most people.
Holy shit the number of people who give me the detriment of the doubt just because I can’t give them the performance they want is crazy. No matter how many acts of genuine kindness I do, it doesn’t matter, because the performance isn’t right. I’m convinced over 60% of the population thinks this way
'Detriment of the doubt' is a fantastic turn of phrase, the brunt of which I am also deeply, autistically familiar with. Thank you!
@@emisformaker Seconding this; "detriment of the doubt" is entering my lexicon!
Are people wrong for wanting a performance of some sort? In this situation no one here is to blame for, find people who like you for who you are.
@@Knifity doesn't really apply when someone is homeless and has nothing they can do except ask for help
Man i gotta fake empathy 99% of the time and that shits difficult. And when i do feel it, it's like worms in my chest. cant imagine actually feeling it, trying to express it and then having people be like "i don't believe you" shit sucks, sorry

I really hope Random Man has a long drag career ahead of him. He actually looks pretty good with just the wig and clothes, some queen makeup and he'd probably look amazing
The third joke in the arrest sketch needed to be "arrestee compares a third thing to marriage, but it crosses some invisible line for the cop".
brilliant
“I hate it when my wife becomes a stranger” was funnier than anything in those sketches.
my two favourite jokes, "women be like" and "gay"
women be lesbians
The male stand-in in the "no makeup" skit is definitely serving "first time in drags in a rainstorm and also a bad Instagram skit" realness.
I thought shallow Boomers style "I hate my wives" gags were done, which most of that was started just because of heteronormativity and lack of divorces
Eh, I'd say the main cause for those type of jokes is they way people are taught, since they're little kids, that the opposite gender is very different from them and that boys and girls can't just be friends, they can only be in love.
So majority of people grows up thinking that they can never possibly understand their partner (since they're so different!) so why even bother? They also believe that they have to/want to get married, and by that logic it's impossible to expect your partner to be your friend as well.
A lot would change if people stopped thinking about men and women as opposites or even different species.

I used to work with people with mental illness, and much of my job was trying to keep them housed and have their basic needs met.

Please treat people, all people, with respect and kindness. That includes drug addicts.

Cool story bro@ville__
Everything else aside the "entitled" homeless dude in the sketch is also 100% right, change is bulky and pretty much useless and buying someone food without finding out what they like/if they have dietary restrictions when they're literally right in front of you (and then expecting them to thank you for the gross food) is insanely rude
If you actually want to help somebody who's on the street the best thing you can do is just give them cash and let them decide what it's best used for. and if you're able to spend more money/have some extra time you can straight up ask if there's anything they need. Things like backpacks, sleeping bags, etc can be really hard to get if you're in a city and don't have any way to get around
also promising a sandwich and giving them fucking lunchables
So grateful to Jarvis for acting as a shield between me and this wretched content. The "finally, peace on Earth" comparison was so apt, but then every time Jarvis repeated it afterward it caught me so off guard that I would just lose it.

The primary cause of homelessness is lack of affordable housing. YIMBY!!! 🏢🏠🏢
That order of emojis fits the theme of the comment so perfectly lol.
What does yimby mean?
@@letterborneVods”Yes In My Backyard,” in contrast with NIMBY or “Not In My Backyard,” which is an unfortunately common sentiment for people when it comes to building things like affordable housing units in a given area.
Actually it's a lot more about lack of mental heath availability. Lots of homeless people have schizophrenia and were abandoned by mental health clinics who did not want to deal with them, so they drop them in big cities and let random civilians deal with it. Naive people really think giving them a sandwich and $20 is going to change their lives, but it doesn't even touch the real issue. In thee U.S. healthcare and mental healthcare is a luxury only the very rich can afford. You aren't going to change anybodies world by giving them $1 and some food scraps.
from what i’ve seen, we don’t really need to be building more housing, there’s a lot of unused apartments out there, the problem just seems to be prices, so we should be going after landlords and such
watching these videos makes me feel like i am an alien trying to digest another species comedy.... the humor is like... completely absent
10:16 a lot of people who don’t have housing have jobs too they just can’t afford to have a home
this video is a perfect encapsulation of why i love jarvis’ content. his discussion around the perception vs realities of unhoused people and the larger systematic failings that lead to homelessness is so so so important and backed by incredible amounts of empirical research. Also think his comments on the ‘saviour complex’ some people have around helping unhoused people are based. All in all the sociology major in me was very impressed and refreshed to see this on youtube. thanks jarvis❤️
Love me some based Jarvis
Just wanted to add this : Just because a homeless person has a 'nice item' does not mean they are not struggling. Many people just have what they had on them/ what they could salvage. I had a friend who was homeless for a while due to addiction. All his clothing was designer but from a years ago/ thrifted and they were only clothes he had for a while. He also had books and a guitar, some other items that were borrowed from a friend including fresh brand new clothes and a tent.

@@fark69 I grew up with one that was disfunctional and would have been better off if they divorced.
It's not really a sexuality thing I don't think
Most people are MUCH closer to becoming homeless than we care to see. I think that's why people can be so heartless - they're afraid to acknowledge that frightening reality.
The "homeless" one got me ,
Everytime ive been approached by an unhoused individual or a individual who is "begging" on the street, they have recognized and thanked me and my freinds when they see us again, even if all we gave was just a dollar or a donut.
Why punch down on people who can't even try to defend themselves just disgusting
Seeing how much people genuinely hate their spouse/partner makes me feel so good in my relationship. My life didn’t improve BECAUSE of my marriage but after getting married I’ve had the best time of my life
in my hometown unless you work a job related to the mines youre lucky to find a bachelor appartment that you can pay for if youre single income. but more likely you'll be renting a room in someones house. the homelessness is affecting everyone regardless of morals. in north ontario the prices of rent and food keep going up but nobody is getting paid more. winter had been rather mild but when it gets cold many will likely die. the shelters are overflowing and constantly at capacity.

The “I don’t want your change” did actually happened to me
Someone was going around on public transit asking for money, I gave what I could spare at the time which happened to just be two dollars. (I understand it’s not a lot but it’s all I could give) And the person asking for money said “nah f that, that’s pocket change.” And wouldn’t take it.
The next person offered them a stick of gum instead-
I still want to help however I can, this was just an interesting experience of mind
A good one I had was someone asked me for money, but this time I didn’t have any on me so I offered food. They accepted, first I offered a protein bar, and then they let me know they couldn’t eat solid foods. So, I apologized and gave them a yogurt with a lid they could turn into a spoon. We talked for a bit. She was one of the nicest, loveliest people I’ve met on public transit.
TLDR; not everyone will be grateful. But their response to your kindness shouldn’t interfere with your opinions on everyone. Not all people asking for money are the same. You’re also not obligated to give stuff to anyone. If you do, great. If you don’t, that’s fine. Sorry this was long
for a lot of people who need money, there's two really common reasons they won't take coins or small amounts--
1. they're just generally not doing awesome and taking just two dollars feels too low/desperate. poverty fucks with you and so does a lifetime of capitalist conditioning. not everyone is ready to accept that two dollars is a lot of money to them
2. small bills and coins can be much harder to use and carry, and especially when in small amounts, they often aren't worth the trouble. especially with coins, they're pretty easily lost/stolen and basically useless
I think the makeup one is really funny because if she really looked *that* different without her makeup, then they would have use used her without makeup. The fact that they had to use an entirely different person implies that she probably looked about the same, which goes directly against the dumb point they were trying to make.
But also the 2nd person still has eyeliner on, I'm so confused.
Also she wouldn't be caught dead on camera without a full beat
And we're supposed to believe a husband has never seen his wife without makeup......?
@@jinaolen786 This was my first thought. Like does she wear makeup 24/7 even at home??
I mean it's a bad joke, but the joke is in the exaggeration.
The toilet one was structurally a joke and no one can take that away from them.
4:21 i believe the cologne jarvis is referring to is called Sex Panther by Odeon. It's made with bits of real panther, so you know it's good. They've done studies, you know. Sixty percent of the time, it works every time.
There was a story I heard once where this woman went missing, right and then she was found years later, like panhandling on the street or whatever, but what actually happened where she had severe schizophrenia and didn’t know who she was didn’t know anything was so out of touch with reality because of that, but she was like homelessbut she wasn’t without a home she just needed help that she did not know she needed so like whenever I see someone homeless like I always think like you never know why they’re there and I feel like people should stop seeing homeless people as one narrative, and like a monolith
For the toilet joke near the end: oh hell no. That lid stays closed after I flush to make sure the backsplash from flushing doesn't go flying all over my bathroom.
At 18:18 As a man who lives alone, I NEVER leave the toilet seat up! NEVER! What if I had a sudden need to shit? It's absolutely moronic that any man would leave the toilet seat up, and even more moronic that it is a stereotype!
Some notes from a former homeless person (doing great now)-
1. just because somebody has nice clothes or some tech, like a phone, does not mean you are not poor or homeless. Most homeless people have phones. Nice coats and shoes are literally the first thing that are donated to shelters and given out. let's use some critical thinking, guys.
2. panhandlers are not scamming you. It makes literally no sense that someone with money to spare would debase themselves on a street corner as a side hustle for what... 50 bucks on a good day? Oftentimes there are actually "pit bosses" who control multiple pan-handling hotspots and take a cut from the desperate people who are panhandling there. So if you think they're scamming you- they're getting scammed just as much and it won't kill you to make their life a little easier.
3. speaking just from my experience, homeless people have no problem calling themselves homeless. The only people who say "houseless" or "unhoused people" are living in a different world. Homeless people have bigger problems and do not care nor feel degraded by the language you use to describe them. They feel degraded when you walk right past them and assume they're scammers for irrational reasons.
Sorry, this was really long. Great video, thanks for inspiring my rant!
Yeah, “unhoused” was giving me “differently abled” vibes… like it kind of backfires into invalidating someone’s bad situation? I didn’t trade in for different abilities when I became disabled, and likewise I imagine homeless people aren’t like “my real home was the friends I made along the way!” 🙃 I had always heard the thing about panhandlers being scammers (including anecdotes that confirmed particular individuals as such… but maybe those were the bosses you described), and maybe that had more truth to it when the economy was better, but nowadays I can’t imagine it paying off in a way that anyone who had other options would do it.
Anyway, glad to hear you’re doing better. Thanks for sharing your thoughts, these comments have been really interesting.
I was homeless for 3 years starting when I was 18 I lost a lot of faith in people after what I experienced I wasn't a drug user, violent, my morals haden't failed me I was just being abused and dragged around the country yet ppl still treated me like I was someone to be scared of or watch out for even tho I was just a child myself . If you're gonna give to anyone with any thought other than " I would want this if I were in their position" then just keep it movin I promise we don't need your shit !
“If you’re not nice to me, then you don’t deserve human rights” oof this is an upsettingly accurate encapsulation of individualistic American culture.

Honestly, I will never understand why people shit on the homeless. Like how do you know if they're going to buy drugs. Im sorry, but I rather give them a few dollars and hope they spend it on something they need than assume and not give them anything. Growing up my parents always told me not to give to panhandlers because you dont know if they're actually homeless, and I've always been like well you dont know if they're not. I mean just because you have a car or decent clothes or even a phone does not mean you are not homeless.
finally, jarvis has discovered straight comedy. thank the gods
I want to remind all of these couples that divorce is legal now
"I do not think they went for transphobia, I do think they arrived at transphobia" is so accurate to so many of these "jokes". and also like 80% of the comedy in every 90s sitcom ever
People can't bitch about marriage but then turn around and complain about how they're single because no one wants to put up with them.
Regarding the first few vids, I'll never understand why sketches about literal abuse are considered funny content lol. Imagine the response if the roles were reversed
Edit to add: Actually, men would probably flock to say "wOmeN aRe hoEs"
i immediately and wholeheartedly believed that that was a genuine sound clip of chance the rapper. i didn't question it at all and was ensnared in jarvis' insidious web of lies
This has made me so uncomfortable to the point where I’ll have nightmares! Thanks, Jarvis!
I’ve always liked how my dad helps the homeless where he lives, it’s a big city with a lot of people who fake being homeless for free money so he doesn’t want to just give out cash so he likes to have backpacks (cheap but not used) with a clean button up shirt, some clean pants and basic supplies like water and canned fruits and veggies. If you don’t want to give money but do want to give something to help people don’t give just scraps to make yourself feel better you can easily give things that a regular items
Thank you for addressing the homeless topic so well
I havent watched this yet but if its abt how married couples will hate eachother istg
7:46 also where the fuck do you find drugs for a few nickels😭😭
jarvis i love how you alway segue into ads with “but before we get into that” it is very satisfying to my brain
As someone who works on a block with a severe homeless problem. If I give money and they spend it on “bad” vices, I don’t care. They still live another day. Me and everyone around me do what we can. We are also trying to survive. Everyone around me has built a connection with specific homeless people and then found out they died. It’s up to the people in power to do something. While they don’t. We do what we can. You can have a shitty health situation and become homeless. You’re right Jarvis. The system is the real issue. That bothers me the most about the homeless person bit. I set my boundaries with many of them, but at the end of the day, I want them to be okay and safe. And if the vices let them survive. Then do the vices.
“I don’t think they WENT for transphobia, i do think they ARRIVED at transphobia” LMFAO
12:02 okay so as a bilingual educator I do kinda see where she's coming from because my students get confused at words like "shelf" and "self" or "mat" and "map" so I see where the confusion is. But beside that this couple insane 😭
What a lovely day to be a ✨️premium✨️ viewer.
17:10 yes. they arrived at transphobia for sure 😭
Are the other people in their videos their friends? Because having a "Which one of our friends has GIANT MELONS that we can film in invasive closeup?" conversation seems bananas
Also, it’s called “Elf ON the shelf”, so if you were to misunderstand that as “self”, there’s still the ON. So the way to represent that would be her walking in with the elf duct taped to her head like a hat 🤦🏼♂️🙄🤷🏼♂️
See, that would have been hilarious, and therefore not suitable for their channel
Also… an unhoused person having nice or expensive stuff doesn’t necessarily mean anything. There’s many reasons they could have it. Maybe they lost their housing fairly recently and still have it from before then, maybe someone gave them a really nice gift, maybe they won it somehow, maybe it was heavily on sale, maybe it’s fake.
And even if they are an addict and even if that is part of how they ended up in these circumstances….. so? Addiction needs to not be so demonized. Especially since a lot of addictions weren’t necessarily taken up by choice (ie someone getting an injury, being prescribed painkillers while they heal, and then they get addicted or even being prescribed medication for mental health stuff that they then get addicted to like OxyContin). Also…. even if they do spend the money you give them on drugs….. it’s not exactly like they can just “make the responsible choice” and not do so. Not only will their body physically not let them just decide they’re done now but…. a lot of addictions can be very very very dangerous to try to quit on a dime. Like…. literally you can die. It’s not exactly the same, but having had withdrawals from one of my prescriptions that was forgotten when getting everything refilled….. yeah it’s BRUTAL. Now in my case it wasn’t gonna kill me or anything, it wasn’t the kind of medication to have that severe a withdrawal. But I was…. not myself. At one point I literally started crying, or rather my body did, when I didn’t emotionally feel the need to. Like it wasn’t even me reaching a breaking point in the tense conversation (which does happen a lot) but my body just…. physically decided it was time to cry. I actually physically couldn’t not cry. It was just…. happening. And that’s pretty tame as far as withdrawals go. Like…. what I had is nothing. It gets much much much worse!
"I don't think they went for transphobia, I think they arrived at transphobia"
OOOOH BOY do I feel this. I think this is the best way to put it I've ever seen, speaking as a trans man LMAO
The argument winning sketch hurt to watch. I casually said my husband was right and I was wrong about something in front of this guy whose entire personality was guns and “women be crazy”. The dude started obnoxiously celebrating as if my husband had gotten a “win” over me, as if my husband gets credit for “taming” me rather than me getting credit for not being so egotistical that I can’t admit to being wrong? I don’t usually rant in comments but I was so triggered 😂
I watched this late at night while I was half asleep and I was not mentally prepared for Jarvis to rant about better conditions for the unhoused
Their acting is giving "Adult video" energy
