I feel like we need to have a throwback Thursday where Simon loses his desk, finds the paper script again, and starts wandering about on tangents while slapping the script on his hand. :D
As someone who is in animal rescue I find the easiest way to tell the fake ones are they are more interested in filming than rescuing. If a person is struggling to save an animal cause they can’t put down the camera then chances are they put the animal in danger themselves to film it. Have rescued many times. Haven’t got a single video to show for it because was too busy worrying about the animal to even think about filming. Makes me so mad.
There are people gluing shells and barnacles on sea turtles, pretending they found them, and them ripping the stuff off. Also to note, turtles have feeling in their shells, so imagine someone glues things to your back and belly and ripping them off.
Some people are in to that sort of thing... or so I've heard. Not me, of course. I have never had things glued to my back and then torn off before. Allegedly. What's with the 20 questions, anyways?!
My mom attended a Seventh Day Adventist academy, which had lots of rules for dressing. One of the weirdest rules was that the girls couldn't wear open-toe shoes, bc women's toes would make men think about seggs. Tell me that rule wasn't created by a foot-fetishist who hated himself.
I’ve often posited that people who are rabidly homophobic or are anti-trans or act disgusted by people with casual sexual lives do so because they harbor these thoughts and know personally how these desires stand in the way of _them_ feeling like (what they consider to be) a good person. And therefore they try to prevent others from “experiencing” that same internal turmoil, as terribly misguided as that is. So I 100% think you’re on to something. It’s always the most homophobic people who get outed trying to have anonymous homosexual encounters.

Yeah, I found a channel and he rescued a puppy that was stuck in tar. Heartwarming as it barely survived. Then the next video is rescuing two puppies from tar then a mother and some other puppies and one loses an eye. By the 40th video of tar rescues, I started to suspect he wasn't just coming across these puppies in tar. The other one is people glueing shit to turtles so he can scrape them off with a knife. I saw a couple of videos and then realised it was the same turtle. He was glueing bits of shit onto his turtle and cutting them off in every video. One the shell and body. I found a video by a vet saying that animal is going through terrible pain in every video and all the comments are "you are so amazing" etc.
This sounds like it might be a pretty dark fetish as well as animal abuse. I've personally heard some fetishes that are disturbing enough to be right up there with it. Small things that struggle fetishes is part of how disabled women can make a living in sex work.

Another dark and frighteningly easier to find corner of YT lies in wait among "prank" videos. Most legit prank videos are between friends and housemates and they all laugh and it's all good. But there are also too many whereby the victim of the prank is genuinely upset by it - some of these are staged, but many are not. The bad ones where people are genuinely upset often tend to involve children or people with disabilities as the victim. In any sane part of the world, the things done in the videos would constitute physical abuse, psychological abuse, domestic violence, and destruction of property. One infamous YT "prank" family did indeed eventually end up being booted from YT and the parents went to jail for abuse of their children.
Real life animal rescue is more often like... "Little Timmy is bored of taking care of the pet he got for Christmas and his parents are sick of picking up the slack." So it's off to the sausage factory unless the rescue steps in to save the dog/cat/whatever.
I get cat and dog videos but those I get are more we found a feral cats that we catch and then see if they are adoptable or channel that tells stories of different people’s pets.
There's also real wildlife rescue that's "people made this thing, usually a water reservoir, with a steep incline and very deficient measures to prevent animals from entering, so we had to go with ropes to get them out before they drowned (sometimes it's too late)", which some people then use as "inspiration" to practice cruelty on their pets (or troubled wildlife they caught by chance) just for the money. The main difference between both kinds being that the legit ones show at most the discovery, one person in the midst of the rescue and then the rescued animal, all the while giving an explanation of the dangers those waterholes or whatever pose and asking for the authorities to take measures so that they do't have to do it again, while the fake ones tend to develop like someone's idea of a Hollywood movie.
Simon. Watch bluey with your kids. Best kids show ever. As an adult male, I can fully watch bluey for hours even when my kid isn’t around. It’s just that good of a show. And it teaches real life lessons to kids in a lighthearted and mature way.
Yes! Bluey is fantastic. An Aussie made and set cartoon show that appeals to both kids and adults. If you have kids it really captures what life is like. It's on ABC in Aus but not sure where you can view it outside of Australia.
Feet fetishism is so common because the center for sexual attraction and the center for feet is right next to each other in the brain, and therefor an overlap in the electric circuits can easily happen. There was a guy who had such an overlap but with reflexes and maths, so he could do complex calculations in litteraly the blink of an eye.
I don't know if it counts as a dark corner but while watching this video I got an ad claiming that the pineal gland was made to receive cosmic signals discovered by the CIA but fluoride had dimished the glands capability to receive these signals. All this was read in a really strange Swedish accent. I liked it, I really needed a good laugh.
@@semaj_5022 Sorry to be really boring but I turned off personalised ads way back so it tends to reflect the video I'm watching rather than anything else. So if I'm watching Aron Ra or Rationality Rules I get religious ads and I guess that Brain Blaze that has spent a fair amount of time heckling conspiracy theories to make ads about woo woo nonsense a good fit in someone's mind.
When I was a new mom, I went looking for breastfeeding tips. Much like my Limewire days, I found a lot more than I bargained for. I reported some videos but since they fell under ‘medical procedure’ they somehow weren’t taken down when that clearly wasn’t a medical professional or any type of clinic. So no, it really isn’t that hard to find.
yuck, thank you for reporting those. on a similar note, I've heard (but not personally looked into it myself) of videos of home births being posted online for under similar circumstances, which is a whole other level of disturbed if the person giving birth isn't aware and as the child definitely can't consent to it even being uploaded for genuinely medical or educational purposes 🤢
My theory about the monkey hate thing: It is people which live around monkeys who hate them. My wife is an indigenous siberian and through a community, she met other indigenous people from other countries. We once have invited a woman from thailand for dinner and talked a bit about her life in the tribe. She was pretty chill until she told us about the monkeys. Her mood shifted drastically. The monkeys vandalised villages, broke into homes, destroyed crops, attacked people, spread deadly diseases, etc. The indigenous villagers use rocks, sticks or firearms to kill the monkeys. This is a war between man and nature. The thai woman told that she has thrown a monkey into her fire stove alive, because she believed it was the same which has bitten the neighbours children.

The bad thing about channels like sleepyeye being terminated is that TH-cam probably doesn't inform law enforcement so they're probably still out there doing this crap. Keep these channels up until law enforcement finally acts, then take them down. Also, Simon probably started drinking Everclear straight from the bottle after this video because I damn sure felt like it.
Still better than what Instagram did until very recently. They had literal child porn on their platform, they knew they had literal child porn on their platform, and instead of taking it down, they programmed a pop up to warn you that you were about to look at child porn

@@TrafficCamWatch ~ Actually we don't know that; an assumption is not a fact, it is gossip.

I remember back in early 2000s bunch of guys at work looking at a disturbing website were police photos of a motorcyclist that got dismembered. His head was in one place while his shoulder and arm were 50 feet away. It was one of the most disturbing photos I’ve seen.

The foot fetish thing also has some anatomical reasoning. The sensory area in the brain is roughly divided into different areas of the body and oddly enough the area that processes sensations for the genital's and the feet bump up again one another. Obviously it is much more complex than this simple explanation; its been a long time since I've taken any classes, lol. While I don't personally indulge in this fetish, learning this completely normalized it for me, not that i was ever a kink shamer; just helped me understand and i found it interesting

I think of many disturbing images, including those in many horror movies, as mental toxins. Similar to lead, mercury, or ionizing radiation in the physical body, these images and scenes stay stuck in our memory. Slowly poisoning our minds and possibly damaging our mental health over time.
26:40 I heard recently that the nerve centers in the brain that register feet sensations is also close to or may overlap the ‘fun centers’ in the brain as well. So it explains why people like others playing with their feet but doesn’t explain foot voyeurism

10:45 Honestly, living with PTSD IS making life pretty hard for people. That's what the "Stress disorder" part in the sentence stands for.

Attention Simon (and all you other you tubers) You have a great Mic ! there's no competing noise in the room ,SO the mic could be much further from your face (or of to the side) and if your not using a computer of something on your desk ,that Mic stand will adjust to other levels and angles away from the face.

I had a friend who after an accident (that was entirely his own fault) created a channel where he’d post videos of his progression through physiotherapy. He had 3 subscribers ( including me) and I was the only person that watched his 5 videos.
I learned to stop asking "Wait, that can't be a real thing people are into, can it?" about 25 years ago. Seriously. The Internet, for all it's greatness, gave a Global Megaphone to people who really shouldn't have a Global Megaphone.

Nick Crowly has a series of videos on this very topic. He even featured the wet look topic in one as well, calling out one particular user who kept making requests of younger children to do these 'challenges'. He also called out some specific channels who did the fake animal rescue thing.
Seeing a video called darkness corners of youtube and playing it to fall asleep to bc it’s brain blaze and i have simons content playing very often to keep my mind occupied lol
I love how another result of searching for the Simon Whistler and Peppa pig search also has a result for Simon getting arrested for witchcraft lol 🧙🏻♂️
Simon, the p3do thing was people watching CHILDREN in videos, not watching YT kids, specifically. It did change the comments sections of many videos because the creeps were commenting on the young kids in their favorite 'poses' or 'outfits' or whatever and they had been using the comments to communicate with each other. Sick freaks. YT KIds also had an issue with NON kid friendly videos getting through, so the tags and review process gotten tightened up a lot.
I was watching Qi the other day, and they were talking about how theres a genre of vids where people help sea turtles out by removing their Barnacles... only, the Barnacles were glued on by the people doing the 'rescue' and its incredibly painful for the turtles. People are disgusting.
The thing that always confuses me about the f*tish content is I can understand if someone is into feet - pretty much everyone has them and I guess I can understand someone developing a particular interest in them. But the other more fringe ones have me asking: how does one even figure out it's something they're into? It just seems so unlikely that you'd stumble across the more obscure ones, like the ones mentioned in the video, and just be like, hey, that's hot. 🤨 I don't get it.
That pic of black and white Simon on the bed reminds me of the Simpson's episode with Flanders in a ski-suit and Homer grumbling about "stupid sexy Flanders"

I always theorized the step-family stuff blew up bc of covid when most people couldnt leave their home... leading to an **ahem** "heightened amount of interest" in that particular fetish.
No. It was a big thing even before then. Like a few years before. It was a fairly well common thing for at least a decade. My theory is that is a reflection of an undercurrent in american society where we had two generations of people where a large portion of the population divorcing and mixing families during mid and late adolescence. So basically people grew up. Some of them decided to make prawnos and they made nostalgic scenarios. Iow the last two gens have been pseudo-insecty.
@@metamorphicorder You are thinking way too hard about it. It is an easy way to answer the question of how the actors know each other and why they are together in a given location. Basically an update of the plumber or door-to-door salesperson stories of the past, but with far more versatility. Sure some of them may lean more into the "family" angle, but the majority will just make one mention of it in the beginning and then never bring it up again. I'm sure you are right that the rise in mixed families probably contributed to the normalization of the concept, but I doubt it was a driving force.
Simon adds to his own discomfort without noticing: In the Vessi ad-read, he gleefully demonstrates their new jacket-and its pockets-pulling out his keys and wallet that are very much not the ones from another regular sponsor which he claims to use daily. 😶
Ayyye dont be a snitch! Mans gotta make money, its a hustle. Likely he doesnt even regularily drink from that cup, nor even live in that basement, nor even have a guy writing scripts. He is just a skitzofrenic guy hearing scripts and making it work, and its tough stuff.
Nah, the keys and wallet he pulled out are the extra ones he keeps around for sponsors 😉 Really tho, the keys might be his house keys that he’s been renovating forever
I'm not bothered by that. I am starting to get bothered by companies that brag about being sustainable, but then make their shoes literally out of oil.
The contract with the company probably requires him to say it. TH-camrs always seem to claim to be thrilled with and regularly use whatever they're advertising.
I saw a video like this one and they talked about tutorials for Brazilian Waxing. I called BS and looked for myself. Yup. There's plenty of them! Showing everything! All under the guise of educational. Yup.
My brother was a police chief. He used to show me pics of crime scenes and accidents. His department has a Road Kill Cafe every year where they get together and have slide shows. It might seem disturbing for some, but we all needed the catharsis.

@@EveryFairyDies As a metalhead, I really hope that you continue making the 'killed by metal' videos. I do think that you fit in well with the kind of videos that Simon does but I guess I'll see more of that as time goes on.\M/ )0(
@@Kerosene.Dreams Not to worry, I do intend to continue my Murdered by Metal series! And thanks for watching my channel! 🤞 I might have one out in time for Christmas. Cause what's more Christmassy than a metal murder? 🤘
@@EveryFairyDies Indeed! Keep on rockin' on, Lorelei.
Another dark and frighteningly easier to find corner of YT lies in wait among "prank" videos. Most legit prank videos are between friends and housemates and they all laugh and it's all good. But there are also too many whereby the victim of the prank is genuinely upset by it - some of these are staged, but many are not. The bad ones where people are genuinely upset often tend to involve children or people with disabilities as the victim. In any sane part of the world, the things done in the videos would constitute physical abuse, psychological abuse, domestic violence, and destruction of property. One infamous YT "prank" family did indeed eventually end up being booted from YT and the parents went to jail for abuse of their children.
Real life animal rescue is more often like... "Little Timmy is bored of taking care of the pet he got for Christmas and his parents are sick of picking up the slack." So it's off to the sausage factory unless the rescue steps in to save the dog/cat/whatever.
I get cat and dog videos but those I get are more we found a feral cats that we catch and then see if they are adoptable or channel that tells stories of different people’s pets.
There's also real wildlife rescue that's "people made this thing, usually a water reservoir, with a steep incline and very deficient measures to prevent animals from entering, so we had to go with ropes to get them out before they drowned (sometimes it's too late)", which some people then use as "inspiration" to practice cruelty on their pets (or troubled wildlife they caught by chance) just for the money.
The main difference between both kinds being that the legit ones show at most the discovery, one person in the midst of the rescue and then the rescued animal, all the while giving an explanation of the dangers those waterholes or whatever pose and asking for the authorities to take measures so that they do't have to do it again, while the fake ones tend to develop like someone's idea of a Hollywood movie.
Simon. Watch bluey with your kids. Best kids show ever. As an adult male, I can fully watch bluey for hours even when my kid isn’t around. It’s just that good of a show. And it teaches real life lessons to kids in a lighthearted and mature way.
I'd say watch The Moomins. Loved it as a child, loved it again when my child watched it
@@garbuz3324 never watched it. What platform
Best part of Bluey is the dad isn't some incompetent oaf with no purpose.
Yes! Bluey is fantastic. An Aussie made and set cartoon show that appeals to both kids and adults. If you have kids it really captures what life is like. It's on ABC in Aus but not sure where you can view it outside of Australia.
@@shaunneal9981 Bluey is carried on Disney+ in Canada.
I love how baffled and shocked Simon seems despite ASKING for this topic 😂
Feet fetishism is so common because the center for sexual attraction and the center for feet is right next to each other in the brain, and therefor an overlap in the electric circuits can easily happen.
There was a guy who had such an overlap but with reflexes and maths, so he could do complex calculations in litteraly the blink of an eye.
I don't know if it counts as a dark corner but while watching this video I got an ad claiming that the pineal gland was made to receive cosmic signals discovered by the CIA but fluoride had dimished the glands capability to receive these signals. All this was read in a really strange Swedish accent.
I liked it, I really needed a good laugh.
...something about penile gland and Swedish girls...
Of course it's all true. That's why they harvest them from the very young and eat them.
What have you been searching for and watching for Adsense to think that was relevant to you, hmm?
@@semaj_5022 Sorry to be really boring but I turned off personalised ads way back so it tends to reflect the video I'm watching rather than anything else. So if I'm watching Aron Ra or Rationality Rules I get religious ads and I guess that Brain Blaze that has spent a fair amount of time heckling conspiracy theories to make ads about woo woo nonsense a good fit in someone's mind.
This is the only channel where the video and the comments are equally entertaining and worth my time.
When I was a new mom, I went looking for breastfeeding tips. Much like my Limewire days, I found a lot more than I bargained for. I reported some videos but since they fell under ‘medical procedure’ they somehow weren’t taken down when that clearly wasn’t a medical professional or any type of clinic.
So no, it really isn’t that hard to find.
yuck, thank you for reporting those. on a similar note, I've heard (but not personally looked into it myself) of videos of home births being posted online for under similar circumstances, which is a whole other level of disturbed if the person giving birth isn't aware and as the child definitely can't consent to it even being uploaded for genuinely medical or educational purposes 🤢
My theory about the monkey hate thing: It is people which live around monkeys who hate them.
My wife is an indigenous siberian and through a community, she met other indigenous people from other countries. We once have invited a woman from thailand for dinner and talked a bit about her life in the tribe. She was pretty chill until she told us about the monkeys. Her mood shifted drastically.
The monkeys vandalised villages, broke into homes, destroyed crops, attacked people, spread deadly diseases, etc. The indigenous villagers use rocks, sticks or firearms to kill the monkeys. This is a war between man and nature. The thai woman told that she has thrown a monkey into her fire stove alive, because she believed it was the same which has bitten the neighbours children.
One) Loved the script and how naive Simon can be, it's adorable.
Two) Will his book and will it be on audible?
Yes. Not sure when, but it will be soon.

At the current rate of expansion, soon to be 'The Darkest Corners of SimonTube'.
Editor; "The internet is for porn, porn, porn!"
Simon; "Let me tell you about our sponsor..."
🤣
Doing my bit to keep the channel classy.
I want to know how the sponsor's marketing people reacted to that.
That song is from Avenue Q (aka: what if Sesame Street was made in Melbourne)
Loving the Supernatural clips! Keep em coming please and thank you! And Lucifer!

Went looked up the Simon Peppa Pig pic. He shared it to is Twitter May '22.
"This is me in Peppa Pig world.
I showed it to one of my kids.
She did not like it"
😂
The bad thing about channels like sleepyeye being terminated is that TH-cam probably doesn't inform law enforcement so they're probably still out there doing this crap. Keep these channels up until law enforcement finally acts, then take them down.
Also, Simon probably started drinking Everclear straight from the bottle after this video because I damn sure felt like it.
Good point
And yes. Everclear is medicine
YT has a legal obligation to remove certain content and to knowingly allow illegal activities to continue could open them to legal and civil liabilty.
Still better than what Instagram did until very recently. They had literal child porn on their platform, they knew they had literal child porn on their platform, and instead of taking it down, they programmed a pop up to warn you that you were about to look at child porn
@@andiward7068 There's also a legal(and moral) obligation to report illegal content, not just remove it to cover your ass, which takes priority - or should. But as we all know, it doesn't happen.
@@TrafficCamWatch ~ Actually we don't know that; an assumption is not a fact, it is gossip. Google has entire office floors of people that handle these matters, it's a ludicrous claim that they just file it away without so much as a call to the law enforcement entities they are in contact with everyday as a matter of course. Use your head, man.
My college music professor has a channel called The Internet Legend where he uploads something random literally everyday for over the past 10+ years. Surprisingly he has a couple of videos with over a million views but they’re very old
Being completely pulled out of my drawing by both the good omens and ghosts clips, absolutely love it 🤣🤣
Thank you so much, editors, for the SPN content😁
You're always welcome!
I remember back in early 2000s bunch of guys at work looking at a disturbing website were police photos of a motorcyclist that got dismembered. His head was in one place while his shoulder and arm were 50 feet away. It was one of the most disturbing photos I’ve seen.
i've also avoided ever having seen "2 girls, 1 cup". and i've been on this earth for 26yrs and i pray that that NEVER changes 😅
So… I watched it once out of curiosity… Described. I never want to see something like that again. Nauseated face.
Animals tortured in the making of Simons videos = 0
Animals tortured by Simon’s rambling tangents = vast uncountable numbers.
As someone who struggled with suicidal thoughts for years and continues to do so that Peppa pig joke made me genuinely happy I stuck around 🤣
you deserve so much happiness, I'm so proud of you for working so hard against difficulties with your mental health and hope that you're doing as well as you can ❤ keep on keeping on, this world is a million times better with you in it!
@@projectjupiter5523 That's very sweet thank you ❤️
Times are tough but I'm still fighting
Dude I felt that, this channel has kept me going lmao
The foot fetish thing also has some anatomical reasoning. The sensory area in the brain is roughly divided into different areas of the body and oddly enough the area that processes sensations for the genital's and the feet bump up again one another. Obviously it is much more complex than this simple explanation; its been a long time since I've taken any classes, lol. While I don't personally indulge in this fetish, learning this completely normalized it for me, not that i was ever a kink shamer; just helped me understand and i found it interesting
I think Simon needs a vacation. 😂 Somewhere without his kids or internet or tv.
I think that he takes off a fair amount to camp with his boys. If he didn't, we would see a very sad and disheartened Simon, indeed. Especially with the content he makes on Casual Criminalist.
He makes plenty of money to take vacations and I’m sure he does :)
When I saw the title I thought it was going to be an Into the Shadows video. Thank goodness for the BLAZE!
Could have sworn i clicked on a notification for joel guy junior from the casual criminalist, but if youtube just wants to fill my evening with simon, im here for it 👌🏿

I do like the camera angle changes between the front on for script reading and angled camera for your unscripted reactions.

Lorelei obviously loves Supernatural and I’m here for it❤
Lorelei has totally never been to a Supernatural Convention and does not have photographic evidence of meeting Jared and Jensen.
I think of many disturbing images, including those in many horror movies, as mental toxins. Similar to lead, mercury, or ionizing radiation in the physical body, these images and scenes stay stuck in our memory. Slowly poisoning our minds and possibly damaging our mental health over time.
I've watched so many history videos from this guy, seeing this content makes me realize why I liked those videos so much, effortlessly charming

Well. I'm going to bed with nightmares
26:40 I heard recently that the nerve centers in the brain that register feet sensations is also close to or may overlap the ‘fun centers’ in the brain as well. So it explains why people like others playing with their feet but doesn’t explain foot voyeurism
Thank you for the fantastic effects on this video. Really pulled it all together
You're welcome! I brought my A-game since this one was a dark one.
Top notch writing and editing as always!
Simon did alright too I guess.
Start my big TH-cam binge era with strange Internet mysteries addressing the shower challenge and animal rescue videos... And here it's being Blazed.... It's come full circle. The Internet is a strange land
So funny when Simon says he saw Hardcore Prawn thumbnails RIGHT before Kevin said "the only way you can find them is if you knew how to find them" and Simon doesn't see the Implication of that. 😂
Suicide jokes had me laughing too 😂
13:37 Nice!!
You and I both, Brain Boy.

I am also very proud of myself that there is at least one horrible viral video I haven't seen (to date). If you don't watch one viral video this year, make it that one!
10:45 Honestly, living with PTSD IS making life pretty hard for people. That's what the "Stress disorder" part in the sentence stands for. I wouldn't want to censor any jokes about that topic (keep in mind that even John Oliver jokes about somebody's statement sounding like a s*****e note like every third episode), but I'm not a fan about making fun about those affected now that I know quite a few.
For most of us, who actively work through it instead of wallowing, humor is great medicine. Jokes about PTSD can be incredibly funny.
Attention Simon (and all you other you tubers) You have a great Mic ! there's no competing noise in the room ,SO the mic could be much further from your face (or of to the side) and if your not using a computer of something on your desk ,that Mic stand will adjust to other levels and angles away from the face.
GREAT memes on this one ,Simon this kinda reminded me of this channel from the early days,very fun ! You go Simon ! I can hardly keep up with all your channels.
Just That Iv'e been on many stages, sound booths and recording studio's and it just peeves me . Carry ON

I found it but it says it's not available for sale yet. The publish date says October 2023 though so I'm confused! But I want to check it out.
I had a friend who after an accident (that was entirely his own fault) created a channel where he’d post videos of his progression through physiotherapy. He had 3 subscribers ( including me) and I was the only person that watched his 5 videos.
I learned to stop asking "Wait, that can't be a real thing people are into, can it?" about 25 years ago. Seriously. The Internet, for all it's greatness, gave a Global Megaphone to people who really shouldn't have a Global Megaphone.
I feel like I need to take a shower after this episode. Very informative, yet incredibly disturbing. Thanks to all to bring this forward.
I felt it was very tame and I feel like it's only tame because it wasn't about when YT first started.
Make sure to keep your clothes on and record it.
I'm so happy to see that Simon really doesn't really hate dogs.

Nick Crowly has a series of videos on this very topic. He even featured the wet look topic in one as well, calling out one particular user who kept making requests of younger children to do these 'challenges'. He also called out some specific channels who did the fake animal rescue thing.

I love how another result of searching for the Simon Whistler and Peppa pig search also has a result for Simon getting arrested for witchcraft lol 🧙🏻♂️
Omg the basement crew cutaway was brilliant 😂
Simon, the p3do thing was people watching CHILDREN in videos, not watching YT kids, specifically. It did change the comments sections of many videos because the creeps were commenting on the young kids in their favorite 'poses' or 'outfits' or whatever and they had been using the comments to communicate with each other. Sick freaks. YT KIds also had an issue with NON kid friendly videos getting through, so the tags and review process gotten tightened up a lot.
I was watching Qi the other day, and they were talking about how theres a genre of vids where people help sea turtles out by removing their Barnacles... only, the Barnacles were glued on by the people doing the 'rescue' and its incredibly painful for the turtles. People are disgusting.
The thing that always confuses me about the f*tish content is I can understand if someone is into feet - pretty much everyone has them and I guess I can understand someone developing a particular interest in them. But the other more fringe ones have me asking: how does one even figure out it's something they're into? It just seems so unlikely that you'd stumble across the more obscure ones, like the ones mentioned in the video, and just be like, hey, that's hot. 🤨 I don't get it.
Don't kink-shame me!! 😅😅
@@ImWearingPantsNow This comment with that username is perfect. 😂
I guess for the more obscure ones people actually do stumble upon them; or something that is close or related and then follow that line of interest.
That pic of black and white Simon on the bed reminds me of the Simpson's episode with Flanders in a ski-suit and Homer grumbling about "stupid sexy Flanders"
i like mrcrowleys stuff, he needs to post more. also he shines a lot on some terrible people, which is a bonus
22:26 perfect editing! Read my mind and made it better❤❤

Wait, WHAT?!?! Damnit! I need to find that!
I recently found out a lot of cats and other cute animals in pictures online are acctually stuffed. I don't know if I'll ever be able to look at those cute pet accounts the same
I always theorized the step-family stuff blew up bc of covid when most people couldnt leave their home... leading to an **ahem** "heightened amount of interest" in that particular fetish.
No. It was a big thing even before then. Like a few years before. It was a fairly well common thing for at least a decade. My theory is that is a reflection of an undercurrent in american society where we had two generations of people where a large portion of the population divorcing and mixing families during mid and late adolescence. So basically people grew up. Some of them decided to make prawnos and they made nostalgic scenarios. Iow the last two gens have been pseudo-insecty.
@@metamorphicorder You are thinking way too hard about it. It is an easy way to answer the question of how the actors know each other and why they are together in a given location. Basically an update of the plumber or door-to-door salesperson stories of the past, but with far more versatility. Sure some of them may lean more into the "family" angle, but the majority will just make one mention of it in the beginning and then never bring it up again. I'm sure you are right that the rise in mixed families probably contributed to the normalization of the concept, but I doubt it was a driving force.
Love the use of clips!
Simon adds to his own discomfort without noticing:
In the Vessi ad-read, he gleefully demonstrates their new jacket-and its pockets-pulling out his keys and wallet that are very much not the ones from another regular sponsor which he claims to use daily. 😶
Ayyye dont be a snitch! Mans gotta make money, its a hustle.
Likely he doesnt even regularily drink from that cup, nor even live in that basement, nor even have a guy writing scripts. He is just a skitzofrenic guy hearing scripts and making it work, and its tough stuff.
@@mjfan653 I only half-tattled, I didn’t mention the brand. 🤫😂
Nah, the keys and wallet he pulled out are the extra ones he keeps around for sponsors 😉
Really tho, the keys might be his house keys that he’s been renovating forever
I'm not bothered by that. I am starting to get bothered by companies that brag about being sustainable, but then make their shoes literally out of oil.
The contract with the company probably requires him to say it. TH-camrs always seem to claim to be thrilled with and regularly use whatever they're advertising.
20:39 okay, "to insert into dogs" had me gasping for air
P.S. I have covid so....... not as impressive as it sounds, but not zero, either.

My brother was a police chief. He used to show me pics of crime scenes and accidents. His department has a Road Kill Cafe every year where they get together and have slide shows. It might seem disturbing for some, but we all needed the catharsis.
