it is honestly that simple, which is why finding a way to laugh with them is the easiest way to diffuse bullying. if it isn’t TRULY motivated by hate but just an easy laugh, you can laugh too. idk obviously doesn’t work for everything.
That should have been a choking warning. I was chuckling along until that point, then I had to desperately hold back laughter with a mouth full of food after that line hit way harder than expected.
This guy has a perfect vibe that I can't explain lol. The way he embodies "characters that get incessantly kicked by society" is absolutely impeccable 😭 I want to support literally any project this man is a part of lol.
I mean, our man is not wrong that kids (and certain grown-ups) will seize on any possibility for a pun or observation and BEAT IT INTO THE GROUND. It's just the question of if they use that power for good or evil.
“All we have to do is think of something for kids to hate something and have it be easy, creative, fun, and encourages teamwork” We have Tiktok now, so we succeeded
This was really creative. In all my years of being bullied as a kid, it never occurred to me to try BEING a bully. I never knew how much fun it was, I just thought the other kids were being tiny little aholes 😛 ~Trav
Something he missed out on is that it's self-reinforcing. He took it way too well, but he could've pretended to get flustered and upset to show how addictive it is to see that you're getting under someone's skin, getting another hit of that feeling every time they visibly react to what you're doing.
Do you think you may have been bullied because you had a hard time incorporating social convention into your interactions? Or do you think social conventions became less accessible because of the exclusion you experienced as a result of bullying? For example, signing a youtube comment when your name is already spelled out, immediately above it. Was that a conscious decision or do you also introduce yourself while wearing a nametag?
I think this explains some bullying, but not all. Sometimes it's a number of other things, like genuine hate for the target, for example. But yeah this was funny as fuck
Bullying is a crucial social skill. It allows a group to bond through violence and abuse, which is crucial for practicing aggression and fighting skills without having to actually risk a potentially deadly fight with outsiders. It allows to establish a pecking order within the group without undermining the group cohesion, because the victim is seen by all as a reject. The victim as an individual gets nothing from it obviously, in nature they would be abused until death and never know acceptance from the very group that they were serving as a punching bag. But they contribute to the survival of their group and therefore their genes, as in nature these tend to be clan structures (even if they themselves don’t get to reproduce, their cousins will). The behaviour is less extreme nowadays obviously but the instinct persists.
no. that's some backwards ass thinking right there. not evidence based in the slightest. you're just pulling shit out of your ass and bullshitting your way into a justification.
@@lily-hazy8823yes.but I have a whole adolescence of experience being the punching bag, followed by a lifetime of being a fuckup, while those who bonded over abusing and humiliating me went on to become well adjusted members of the community. Conclusion - they are the normal ones. Also, watch any nature documentary regarding primates. Nothing new.
It is one of humanity's many maladaptive features. Fortunately I think it has been slowly declining in both intensity and frequency, because we are moving forward as a society
this guy is fucking spot on about why kids bully actually
it is honestly that simple, which is why finding a way to laugh with them is the easiest way to diffuse bullying. if it isn’t TRULY motivated by hate but just an easy laugh, you can laugh too. idk obviously doesn’t work for everything.
that moment when he asks "did we have a bad time just now?"
just an oof of silence as reality set in
idk, it sounded pretty loud to me

Once he started asking the crowd for input, I knew this was a trap, and I was not disappointed lol.
for a moment i got so sucked into it i thought i was in a ted talk
This man must have a teaching license

dude gave a master class on bullying
I've never seen interactive comedy this good. This is really brilliant.
As a frequent victim of bullying as a youth, I enjoyed this immensely
With that pfp they didn't go far enough
3:42 did a genuine spit take there
“Anus! Great, excellent. Our old pal back again.”
that bit teaches over ambitious teachers why they fail dispite their best efforts. peak infotainment right here !!
“All we have to do is think of something for kids to hate something and have it be easy, creative, fun, and encourages teamwork”
We have Tiktok now, so we succeeded
TikTok has plenty of bullying on it and people not on it bully people who are
Unironically, he makes a very good point. You only had to throw some more psychology/sociology at the end of it and bam. Actual talk about bullying
This deserves so much more attention. This could be one of "the great bits" like "Who's on First" as far as I'm concerned.

That was a brilliant sketch. If a bit sad for how true it is.

Only thing that would make this better is if the audience knew it was call/response from the beginning
idk, i actually really like the moment that the audience realizes they have to bully this guy even if they don’t want to, lol
@@evieyak yeah, hearing them go from cautious reluctance to enthusiastic is part of the fun of the skit imo
It does capture the awkwardness of a presentation where the audience didn't know there was going to be audience participation
infotainment from the bullying expert.
Phenomenal bit
Jon Bander is a star. Love this.
Had this in my favourites from the first time it was uploaded. Glad this masterpiece is back
This is so effing brilliant
I'd have liked the part of English class where we diagram a sentence way more if we did it this way.
you need a phd in psychology, linguistics, and sociology to teach THIS class
This was my favorite one yet. It was fun & creative &..

This feels like something Randy Marsh would do.
Wait. This is actually a good ted talk.
Really well written
Fucking genius!

Was that the curb your enthusiasm theme at the start?

i dont understand the punchline at the end
Good luck getting people to stop doing something that feels good
The answer at the end? Elon Musk. simple

All of this goes out the window with the invention of the semi-automatic and the seven day waiting period.
