Even while still thinking this was serious, I got the Rapunzel reference right away - I thought it was a metaphorical reference to that, to someone else being allowed into her life in a way she'd never had before, and helping her realize the truth about her situation and the outside world. Not literally climbing up her hair, but perhaps maybe some fondling of her braid.
I'm Norwegian, and though my understanding of English is starting to become pretty good, I once in the while come across an expression I've never heard before. I was very close to googleing "guess who was climbing up my hair" just then. 😂
Uhg, parents can be so difficult. My father was similar. Very imperious alpha male type. He was always putting heavy restrictions on me and kept an iron grip on the family and my mom. One small step and he would come down on us hard. He had a huge pride that could be slighted at the smallest provocation and we had to walk on eggshells contantly. SHOUTING was his preferred mode of communicating anything and it was his way or the highway. In fact, he shouted so often, you could say it was a roar. Then my Uncle killed him and I had to go into hiding becuase they were both cut from the same cloth but my Uncle saw me as a potential threat so he gaslighted me into running away. Fortunately, he died from a tragic hyena related mishap.
People in "fairy tales" really had it rough. Cinderella's sisters cut off their toes to get into the glass slipper (that was originally made of fur). A poor lady was burned to death by those juvenile delinquents Hansel and Gretel. And now, we get the truth about Rapunzel. The fairy tale world is a terrible place.
And if your mother decides you're prettier than her and she won't have that, next thing you know you're making ends meet by pleasing seven miners living in the middle of nowhere...
It demonstrates that the UK's problems with endemic crime are nothing new. From poisonings to randy trysts with queens, incest, child stealing, cannibalism and the like; it's all there. Illegal Saxon immigrants brought this nastiness with them, and it's high time something was done about it.
We don't know that she wasn't - just that it was in the end a fairy-tale reference doesn't mean she didn't have a troublesome childhood with an over-controlling adoptive mother, with this realized upon meeting a boyfriend who showed her a different perspective. It felt so believable because, aside from the stolen-from-woodsman, literally locked in tower, and hair-climbing parts, this really does happen to people. When she talked about a boyfriend "climbing her hair," I first thought it was a metaphorical reference to Rapunzel.
You nailed that. Spot on. Rappie and mum, long hair and all. I fell for the first half, just wanted to hug you better. Then, it was like the beanstalk falling, and I guffawed, LOUDLY. I love it. Watched it twice.
I swear revenge, for this bit. You had me going even after "Guess who climbed up my hair today". I only realise the diabolic depths of your comedy when you said Rapunzel.
Reading your comment, feeling very proud of myself, because I was trying to figure out where she was taking this, and I DID notice that her hair was in a braid, and actually wondered if she was Rapunzel!
I figured where this was going when you talked about being isolated, just you and mother... but it was still very well done. That last line is brilliant.
😂😂😂😂😂😂 y’a got me but damn algorithms are sooo good I’m literally working with a duo who fit this fairytale to a tee, thanks for reading my mind so I know how to broach this hoarding situation!!!!
This reminds me of Jeanette McCurdy’s memoir. Which, in retrospect, was probably the whole point of that fairytale, how manipulative mothers are real, unfortunately.
I love how I was waiting for the twist. I knew it was coming. But I didn’t know what it would be. Mom’s a witch? Mom’s the town hag who’s also abusive? What’s going on? 😂
I was halfway through the video before I realized she was speaking with an American accent. I’m an American so it just seemed normal to me. If I had never seen any of her other videos, I’d think she was from the United States. 🇺🇸
You really had me questioning if this was serious or not until the middle. Great job of being specific, but just ambiguous enough to hide the twist. 🤣🤣🤣
No matter what the day has thrown at me just the notification of one of your videos is enough to improve my day,and the video is always guaranteed to make me laugh. Thank you Eleanor,for the precious gift of laughter. :-)
i recently had to tell my cat that he's adopted, it was the hardest thing i've ever done, he doesn't understand. He's grey so you know, he has a tough time of it. Poor little guy
With no context and never having seen this channel before, I was thinking a very serious crime had happened! This was hilarious! In my case, a deformity has led to limited work, so I have no choice but to be a bellringer and do what I can to aid the woman of my dreams...with whom I have a strange feeling I will end up decaying in a charnel house with her locked in my skeletal arms, but that just might be pessimism on my part.
Talk about toxic mothers! My mother is super jealous and obsessed with looks (she's actually my step-mother). She looks into the mirror the whole day, talking to herself. One day I ran away from home. I found a job working with little people. It's so much fun :)
I sent this to my sister and the look on her face as it slowly dawned on her who Eleanor was actually portraying was priceless. I mean she loves Eleanor's work, but she loves this clip the most. It's one of those times you wish you could upvote a video more than once.
It is so very good to see that you are confronting your past. 👍 Only by facing your demons will you be able to overcome them. Your courage is inspiring. May you continue to move forward in your healing Rapunzel.
Now there's no more fuss, and there's no more scenes. And my garden thrives, you should see my nectarines! But I'm telling you the same I tell Kings and queens. Don't ever never ever mess around with my greens! Especially the beans.
At first I thought you were serious. I struggle with complex ptsd because my mom kept me locked in the house for 8 years. I could go to school and that was it even in the summer. When I wanted to move out I had come home from work and found all my clothes in bin bags out on the street ready for collection while she had her best friend over and we’re laughing at me.
A master carpenter I follow posted an upload concerning his sleep apnoea; a topflight physicist uploaded her struggle with fruit sugars, and I watched both to the end, so at the start I was primed for an actual mother/daughter revelation...I fell for it hook, line and sinker. Good One!

I was on the edge of my seat wondering where this was going and then ... brilliant! The shampoo and conditioner line was the icing on the cake.
Shampoo and conditioner can be the right colours for icing, but the don't set well, also not the best flavours even the coconut ones.
Yer still laughing at that.

Ahhhhh! Man, you really had me there - hook , line, and sinker! Congratulations. That was impressive!
She had me COMPLETELY hoodwinked for the entire first half! Eleanor Morton is BRILLIANT!
Good for you, now you can let your hair down

I figured where this was going when you talked about being isolated, just you and mother... but it was still very well done. That last line is brilliant.
For some reason I thought maybe it was going to be a gender flipped version of The Tempest but that seemed too complicated.
I was hooked until the climbing up my hair thing. It kinda sounded like my marriage for a while… Bravo, Eleanor, bravo!
You almost had me except for the American accent, so I did wait for the other shoe to drop. Very funny my dear, bravo!!
You wove that perfectly, I thought you were confessing something and then the hair reference. Well done !

Okay, I got to 1:35, and then I realized; 'aww, crap, she got me'
I was halfway through the video before I realized she was speaking with an American accent. I’m an American so it just seemed normal to me.

Nice to see someone getting back to their roots.
Wow. You had me at one point. I was waiting. And waiting. Scared me for about 5 seconds
I spent a good 70 seconds thinking this was serious 😅😂

Too funny.

Should have guessed, but expertly crafted.
I always wondered what inspired the 'rinse and repeat' instruction on the bottles.
new euphemism for 'allowing to smash'... she "let down her hair"...

Switching accents fooled me.

That's a very tangled situation.
