Superstitions.
What are superstitions? Why do we believe them?
Although there are a lot of weird superstitions out there, there may be psychological benefits to believing them.
Let's find out why.

Many of the ‘techniques’ that help overcome the algorithm, like clickbait titles, dramatic often angry or fearful facial expressions in the thumbnail, and making videos about the biggest drama of the day, ie Will Smith slap, Gabby Perdito etc, may help channels grow fast, but for all the wrong reasons. What I like about this channel are many of the qualities the algorithm does not seem to promote. Great production and content, interesting topics, honest video titles that are actually relevant to the video, and two awesome hosts. If it weren’t for channels like WF, I’d likely leave TH-cam all together.
Amazing comment, Jack. I CAN'T STAND the "new coolness" of video/article titles like: "You won't believe what Trump said" or "Do this one thing every day to look younger". I really hate it. I don't want this channel to do that. Sure we would get more clicks on a video like this if it was "People believe this one crazy thing makes them smarter" -- only to learn that it's crossing their fingers for luck?? I CAN'T STAND IT. I won't do it. Not ever. I don't care about subscriber numbers enough to compromise my integrity like that. But what's really great is: YOU NOTICED. You are appreciated.
Amen brother!
Well said
HF has a TH-cam channel. Nice
Well said..hell it sounds like you can be a writer 😉
Why Files is one of my favorite channels!
For sure. Ive watched many and will continue to.
Your comments always make my heart sing, LG.
@@TheWhyFiles Forgt to mention the Stevie Wonder classic……
@@Gizathecat2 The writing's on the wawlllllll
Can we just take a moment to recognize the enormous amount of compassion, empathy, and emotional intelligence displayed in this video (even while maintaining a clever sense of humor)... Thank you so much for being a kind human, AJ. Taking the time to distinguish superstitions from clinical OCD compulsions(and in a considerate manner) is just further proof of your awesomeness. Props, my man.
You have the blue eye. In Greece we use this to our house or car to prevent bad luck from the "evil eye" someone with bad intentions or just envy might give us.
DO YOU HAVE OCD??? HOW DO YOU DEAL WITH YOURS? FOR YEARS, I HAD RITUALS AND ROUTINES AND FELT THAT IF I DIDNT COMPLETE SAID RITUALS, SOMETHING BAD WOULD HAPPEN. I USED TO THINK I WAS WEIRD, FREAK, AND CURSED, NOT KNOWING I WASNT ALONE. I KEPT THIS A SECRET FOR YEARS BECUASE I WAS ASHAMED AND EMBARRASED UNTIL I HEARD THERE WAS A CLINICAL TERM FOR IT.
HOW DO YOU DEAL OR WHY ARE YOU SO COMPASSIONATE ABOUT IT?
TIA!
Hecklefish is a funny little dude. He really adds flavour to the story telling. :)
Hecklefish was hilarious this episode. Thanks for putting out such high quality entertainment!
Touch wood though.
Get it?
I get it. (sigh)
HF really got into this one!
i was on fire baby!
I’m an infant- laughed at ‘touch wood’. 🤣🤣
Your videos make me forget about all the shit going on in life. Love what your doing and how mindful it is.
Such a nice comment, Vinnie. Keep your chin up. We're all dealing with shit. You're not alone.
the channels would be better w moar hecklefish
We need more Hecklefish! 😻

HeckleFish has his own channel🎯 You're welcome 🤗
you got this Vinnie ✨
Know who else? Surgeons. They have their rituals as they prep for surgery, the way they scrub their hands, the order in which they glove (right or left first), what songs they listen to, etc. psychologists believe this sets your frame of mind and concentration, kind of “gets you in the zone”. Apologies if someone else already commented on this one. Great episode and great channel!
Yeah it's like meditation. I played baseball most of my life. When I was playing in college and going to classes.... sometimes. This was brought up in Psychology by a professor that was talking about smokers smoking when anxious,stressed or whatever. He claimed going out having a smoke was basically meditation because you're silent taking deep breaths and getting recentered. I had some questions and he pointed out me being a athlete probably had a form of meditation and didn't realize it. So he filmed our next game(i didn't know or even see him there). So he plays it in class and pointed out when I was at bat I made the exact movements down to the tiniest at each time...if the situation got tense or a do or die situation. I would still repeat those same things but would take an extra moment to step aside and breathe in extremely deep and become so still I looked frozen. Of course we (Baseball players) have wild superstition that we are aware of and ritualistic almost too but the "meditation" subconscious stuff was cool...oh wow just got to the part about baseball in the video lol.Have a good weekend!
Washing and gloving is taught and tested. Required.
@@bdgreene He's talking about doing it in a SPECIFIC way that's NOT necessary. Read this slowly, you'll understand what the original comment was. Focus on capital letters and read them even slower.
@@Scarethelocals, your baseball example is an excellent example of why absolutely everyone needs a, "therapist." We all do things that we're not conscious of. "The easiest person to lie to is yourself." When we 'lie' to ourselves we have an obvious desire to believe the liar. Lying to ourselves is often nearly impossible for us to spot and come to grips with. Without an outside observer we'll never see the things we're lying to ourselves about. We don't want to. Without some outside observer, some kind of therapist, we're not going to be aware of even the most objectively ridiculous lies we tell ourselves. We don't want to know. That, "therapist" doesn't need to be someone collecting hundreds of dollars an hour from you. In fact, you're probably better off if they aren't. A good friend that never lies to you is probably the best kind of therapist.
This is one of the reasons I always say that if you want an honest answer to something you should explain the problem to a small child and ask them their opinion. Small children haven't had decades of experience with lying to themselves. They're not very good at it. A small child doesn't have all of an adult's decades of self-lies to cloud their judgement.
I don't think your psych teacher did you any favors by forcing you to face the harmless self-lies you were telling yourself when you were playing baseball. While it's true that lying to yourself isn't a perfect solution there are definitely times when it can be useful. If your unconscious rituals helped your game then they helped. I rather doubt that they were causing you any harm in your life. Forcing you to see them made them conscious rituals. Which would tend to make them much less effective and more performative. It would definitely make you self-conscious about those 'rituals' and probably make you feel foolish about them. Your psych teach was probably aware of this fact. There is certainly no excuse for him to not be aware of the effect of pointing it out to you.
I could go on for a week about clever people being valuable until they are petty and self-serving and college professors are often some of the most petty and self-serving people on the planet.
I think that’s more of a ritual than a superstition
Your content is too good. It's tough to stop binge watching all your video! Hecklefish is friggin hilarious.
Hecklefish told me to send you this, Aaron: th-cam.com/users/HecklefishMoriarty
@@TheWhyFiles You two are like The Dynamic Duo.
I heard through friend of a friend of a friend, that his cousin said he over heard a lady saying that hecklefish is going to get his own video as a presenter and AJ is the heckler... Just something I heard from a trusted source
You heard correctly. 😎
😂😂😂😂❤️❣️
These videos are getting so good I find myself thinking Hecklefish Moriarty is a sentient being!!
Wait... are you telling me he's not??
of course im sentient human!
Omg I love this whole thing
Ack! So many superstitions.
My grandmother had some:
Never put new shoes on the table.
Never rock an empty rocking chair.
Never place a hat on a bed.
Never have a dinner party with 13 people.
And lastly-I admit to doing this one--
If you leave the house, but have to come back for something you forgot---you must sit down & wait for several minutes before leaving the house again.
None of these actions/inactions were ever explained to me, but I can't forget them. And because you made this video A.J. I'm forced to think fondly of my superstitious Grandma❤️. Thanks.
''If you leave the house, but have to come back for something you forgot---you must sit down & wait for several minutes before leaving the house again.'' - mine told me the same. Plus spitting three times to ward off evil or bad luck if you said something that might be considered that.
Basically to double check you have everything, sit down and wait is simply, take a moment and take stock. Take a minute or two and make sure you have everything. Also some believe it is the universe delaying you in protection.
Yeah, @@gapratt4955, the, "sit down for a few minutes," is a great example of a superstition with really sound logic behind it. I'm not even sure I'd call it a superstition. It's just damn good advice, "Sit down and get your head together before you go rushing off. If you forgot one thing there's a pretty good chance you forgot something else, too!"
The hat on the bed has to do with spreading lice n other critters
@@gapratt4955this has happened to me multiple times, where I got out late or had to turn around for something, and not long after found out there was a major crash that happened on my route right when I would've taken it otherwise. So I try to just breathe and let it go.
Also a good reminder to settle down if running late so YOU don't rush and cause the accident. I always have to keep in mind that I could drive carefully and get there late, or rush and speed and potentially never arrive again.
This channel is the most entertaining thing Ive come across.
Get the actual story, an opinion or two, and an attempt to wrap it up logically when able to. Although some stories just leave us wanting more explanations.
No clickbait BS. What the title says, is specifically what the video explores.
Thank you. My singular opinion means zero big picture, but if any channel deserved 10 mill its this one.
the expression to “knock on wood” is rooted in the belief that when a sailor thumped on the hull of a vessel, it should sound solid rather than rotted...dating back as far as the early 1700s
Question: did you intend the pun about wood when you said rooted? Have a great day!
I hadn't read that one, Steve. This is a GREAT origin story for that one.
Thanks I read it long time ago in a book of "everyday expressions and their origins"
my mom would always say knock on wood and if there wasn't any wood around she'd knock the top of her head
The two of you together making content are the best thing to happen to you tube. Thanks
Thank you. This helped cure 20 years of my depression and anxiety. I was too logical and trying to control probabilities and outcomes in an infinite universe was driving me crazy. Superstitions allows me to relieve my need for control.
I've always wondered what an underwater sneeze would sound like - great collection of examples. Thanks!
Glad we could answer that question for you!
I work on a golf course. Our turf equipment is older. Every time someone says a piece of machinery is running good, we say “knock on wood” cause I swear to god. It happened yesterday, someone said something nobody said knock on wood. And we had to machines for down.
I’m not particularly superstitious, but man that’s a wild coincidence.
My household totally loves you guys there aren't very many TH-cam channels or podcasters or anything like that I can get my entire household to agree on but you guys are definitely one and it's funny I keep running into more and more people in my circle that actually enjoy watching you guys on a regular basis as well so from Athens Ohio I can say that you guys are becoming a household name around here which is pretty awesome!
It's always nice opening up You Tube and seeing a new video from you guys. It puts a smile on my face. Look forward to the next one. Keep up the great work!!!!
What a great comment, Ken! Glad we could bring a little sunshine.
defeat the algorithm, baby!!!!!
My man AJ finally popping off! About to hit 25k subs, got the patreon going, was only a matter of time with content like this. Nice to add that little personal touch at the end, you've been doing that more and i like it, steps away from the facts for a moment and feels like you are talking to me 1 on 1. Good to end the videos with a bit of humanity
Thanks, Melee! You really "get" the channel and what I'm trying to do here.
moar hecklefish = moar subscribers. its just math
25k subs two months ago? 239k today. He hooked the algorithm... hang on!
Hecklefish says, "I'm gonna need a bigger bowl..."
@@jawjagrrl 415k subs as of today! 🚀
435k 3 months later
I forgot: actors say , " break a leg ", which seems weird, but it comes from a time when people believed that spirits/ demons were always around causing mischief, so they tried to confuse them to do the opposite, actually protecting the actor. Learning about Mythology, superstitions, legends and rituals is one of my favourite things! If anyone has a question about these subjects, please let me know, I love to share the information I have!💖🙂🇮🇪👍🙃
I accidentally wished someone good on an upcoming show and her face! I quickly corrected my good wishes to ‘break a leg.’ This actor, by the way, is the most logical and sensible person. I was kind of surprised just how seriously she took this superstitution. I say, the Irish runs deep in this one! ❤
@@jeanneratterman hahaha i see a magpie i twist around touch wood and wish the bird a great day
Where did you hear this? The things that hold the stage curtains are called legs... a successful show = many ovations = many open and closing the curtains = break a leg.
But hey, if anyone wants free info that may or may not be correct, contact this person.
Always thought it was because if they did a good job they could be in the CAST.
But we also want you to end up in a cast.. 😊
Tell your families, tell your friends, tell it to the algorithm...easily one of the greatest channels on YT !!!
I truly wish your channel grows with millions of subscribers. However, I do realize that most people want to watch garbage and not quality and informative videos. Thank you very much for all your hard work.
ah GREE!!!!!
The humour was great this episode! Keep it up. Plus another good ending, That has helped me hearing that, Thank you man
Thanks for always bringing the kindness with your comments, neB. You are appreciated.
moar hecklefish is the secret
Crossing my fingers for AJ and Hecklefish’s algorithmic success! (as well as liking, subscribing, and sharing with friends of course!)
Cheers to that! When we comment, it increases “user engagement” and the algorithm shares the video with more people!
@@Hemomancer lol are u married? U seem smart 😍
Thank you, Grace! The algorithm hates us! But I'm glad YOU'RE here.
@Grace @Hemomancer will you two stop flirting in the comments and go get a room already?
@@TheWhyFiles or join us on the Discord and flirt over there! :p
Hecklefish used to get on my nerves!! But after a few episodes, the lil guy really grew on me!! He's sooo funny!! 😂
I am so very glad I stumbled upon your channel. Well done. Love everything.
Thanks for watching, Alison! (And, though we don't know each other that well yet, thanks for loaning us your eyeballs for a few minutes. I promise to return them in perfect working order) If there's a specific story you'd like to learn more about, I want to know about it!
I have always heard that the knock on wood for luck or to ward off bad omens comes from the belief that fairies lived in the trees. Knocking on them would bring the attention of “the little people” to assist you. Absolutely loved this and all other content on this channel. Can’t wait to see WF explode!
Or paganistic rituals u would knock on trees ‘wood’ to help summon a demon
At this point of my life watching you and listening to the advice at the end with the funny hevklefish is easing my anxiety
Very nice of you to say, PH! Thanks so much for watching and commenting.
ya this human noes whats up
There were some really interesting superstition facts I hadn’t heard of before! Touch wood 😆
Oh wow! You were a producer on the Gene Simmons Family Jewels?
Great episode, thanks AJ 😎👍
Thanks, Dinkum! Yeah, HF wasn't going to let 'touch wood' slip by without a comment. No, I wasn't a producer on the show. I was only in that one episode.
the human is very proud of those 15 min of fame. i tell him nobody watched that stupid show!
@@HecklefishMoriarty 😆👍

So happy to see this channel growing by more than 20k subs in the last few days and it makes me happy. AJ I truly wish you the best success! Your getting me through long night shifts with your awesome stuff!
This comment makes my day! I've worked nights for many years and it's always nice to have "company" during a long shift when the world is asleep.

Im in Kenya and this channel is blowing up over here!!! Keep em coming bro,lets get you to a hundred million subscribers
Rewatching these episodes as I always learn something new I miss on the first run through. It's nice how perfectly they hold up in time.
I am glad to see you are steadily getting subscribers. I am sure you will be in the millions before you know it. Not only is this show written, presented and performed to a highly proffesional standard, the research you have done on each topic is on point. Well done! and I hope you have all the success you deserve, it must be nearly a full time job doing this stuff?
You're the reason I do this, gutz. I'm grateful for you. Yes, it's a full-time job ... on TOP of my full-time job. 😶
@@TheWhyFiles I appreciate it. This channel will get millions of subscribers I can garauntee. It is too interesting and professionally done, it would be impossible for that not to happen. Good luck!
AJ, as a television producer you really know your craft; your audience’s strong engagement and positive feedback is proof of that. Keep up the excellent work!
One Million plus
This channel is not only amazing in content, entertainment, and quality. But a quintessential example of "NEVER GIVE UP!" When I first heard one of the videos proclaim itself as a "small channel" and that video wasnt that old, I realized this channel must have recently EXPLODED.
AJ, you have a great RADIO voice! Your information combined with the Hecklefish humor makes ME look for new videos everyday and I now have seen all your archived videos. Keep up the good work!
This is such a great topic. I hope The Why Files gets back to some more of these "brainy" videos. I DO thoroughly enjoy the more typical topics nowadays but my inner nerd truly appreciates videos like this one and the "why the U.S. doesn't use the metric system" video. Nothing but love WF!
Another great video, and Hecklefish again hilarious as always. Keep up the great videos, can’t wait for the next one
Thanks, Josh! Something really got into HF on this one. I think I need to have the water in his bowl tested. He's into something.
moar subs would coime if there was moar hecklefish
Awesome video, AJ! It’s always a good day when I see a notification pop up that you have a new video 😊
Thanks for turning on notifications, MR! TH-cam LOVES that. Very good for the evil algorithm.

Excellent work as always. Your channel has gained 10K subscribers over the last couple months right? Pretty good. Soon you’ll reach the tipping point and explode
Thanks, Jason! Where is the tipping point?? I hope you're right. The algorithm is a worthy adversary.
@@TheWhyFiles tipping point location is a mystery
@@jason5265 UGH! What does the algorithm want from us??? Does it need a human sacrifice? Or maybe just a goldfish sacrifice? That I can do.
@@TheWhyFilesLol it needed your Simulation Theory episode. After that, you guys exploded faster than any other TH-cam channel I've ever seen. 🤷 It might have taken the algorithm a while to figure out your worth, but once it did BOY HOWDY did it realize it had a good thing going and pushed your channel to the freaking stratosphere in mere months.
I just want to say that I really love cats, especially black cats, and the black kitty in the thumbnail just looks absolutely adorable!
The setup for that joke at 1:38 was astounding, no wonder this channel became what it is today.
I stumbled across this channel a few weeks back now and am totally hooked!
You guys are incredible! Get content, well produced and super entertaining.
With the legend that is Hecklefish as the kicker 🤩
Keep up the amazing work 🥳
Making my way through the back catalogue. Loving every episode
In Germany we say "Gesundheit" instead of "bless you". Means, we wish someone good health. What makes sense when you sneezed. And every black cat in my life brought me so much luck, love and fun.
Ahh, I think the crossing your fingers trick worked well for you! Congrats! 1.8 million subs as of this comment. I'm a new subscriber binge watching all your past episodes and love every one of them!
Okay 🤩 I'm officially addicted to your channel and I'm genuinely Loving HeckelFish! You two are wonderfully entertaining and I've yet to not belly laugh during an episode! Learning and laughter...2 of my favorite things! Thank you!
Btw: I've picked up your closing line and hand gestures. Is that sign language? Or just your own thing? Either way... Love It!
You're very kind. Welcome to the channel. I'm hardly ever asked about this, Mary Jane! It is the Shaolin Kenpo salutation. Here's what it means: th-cam.com/video/bqris2fP6WU/w-d-xo.html

You guys must put a lot of time into these shows. Your integrity and honest research shines through. No Clickbait and BS .loyal subscriber and appreciate your hard, honest work.
Did anyone already notice that after the comments about being left handed was considered sinister, the next two clips were of people doing things with their left hands? Bravo good sir!
I just courteous to say “bless you” when someone sneezed.
Holy moley, this guy is an artist. Another interesting and thoughtful video
Almost missed this one! Another cool video!
What? You don't have notifications turned on, Hunter??
I do lol, I just almost missed the notification😂 who knew superstitions were somewhat healthy, mom always said they’re not good for ya 😆
3:35
Looks like it worked.
You're gaining thousands a day now (it seems).
Good job 🤟
Milhouse explained the whole "Bless you" thing on the Simpsons decades ago. A sneeze is your soul trying to escape your body and someone saying "bless you" crams it back in.
The last time I commented I had only watched 10 or so of your videos. I've seen almost all of them now.
Now you are on my top5 favorite playlist.
Nice job, my friend. Love your stuff.
BTW, my daughter Jody happens to have the same name as the pig demon in Amityville horror and she was born on Friday the 13th at 4:20. My pet at that time was a cat named Buckwheat (guess what color).
So I say "it's just bad luck to be superstitious.
You have risen to the top of my personal list. Even subject matter, that usually I have no interest in, is presented in a way that I stay captivated. Thank you for your hard work. Also, I love telling strangers "bless you" when out and about. It's the surprised thank you I get thats always great. Guess they figured no one cares anymore.
Hecklefish is adorable. Thank you

I freaking love hearing where our saying come from!! Always telling my daughter why we say the things we do!! ♥️🐠♥️
You are hilarious!! So happy I found your channel, love your content & your presentation is spot on!
Where have you been, Amy? We've been waiting for you to notice us! Glad you finally found the channel. Welcome aboard.
We have a saying in England "touch wood" which dates back to the early days of the Royal Navy the full saying is "Touch wood, scratch a stay, turn three times whilst saying may the Lord and Saints preserve us". Also knocking on wood was done to check the ships timbers were sound. If they didn't make noise when knocked on then they would drill small holes in the surface looking for gribble worms if in cold waters or toledo worms in warmer waters.
This is simply one of the very best channels on all of TH-camdom!!
Found your channel a week ago when the algorithm recommended one of your videos while I was browsing the "ghost hunt" videos. Which I later found hilarious when, in another video, you straight-up admitted that you don't believe in ghosts 😝
Awesome video!
Thank you, my friend! Always good to see your name in the comments.
Great vid!
Thanks for watching, Crimsven!
That would be a good episode on the fountain of youth. Great episode!

Hi, love the channel, one superstition I found interesting is the number 9 in Japan, they believe it's unlucky, so much so that Microsoft never made a windows 9 it went from windows 8 to windows 10, they did this because they wanted to capture the Japanese market.

Funny you didn´´t mention astrology. although I personally don´t believe in that stuff, cause I´m a sagitarius, and everybody know we are skeptical.
AJ and his team could do a whole show on astrology!
Astrology would make a good video, but I'm worried. I always present multiple sides of the argument and astrology believers are not going to want to hear that it might be bunk.

The best thing you have going is that the algorithm is a little bitch and you videos are timeless. They can go viral any time. They aren't current events that have to be cached in on. Once some current topic collides with an adjacent topic to one of your videos, you'll pick up subs like made cause your videos are top quality.
Like if you laughed at Hecklefish's touchwood reaction. =D
On another note, AJ always make you think.
Haha... HF wasn't going to let that go without a joke.
OCD and superstitions are definitely connected. OCD habits are essentially self-imposed unconscious or conscious superstitions personal to oneself. They do alleviate anxiety for the individual in question; which is also the purpose of superstitious thought and action.
Your videos are so Uplifting and makes me happy!
Thanks man. Been in a really low spot for the last week and hecklefish's laugh at the wood joke totally cheered me up. Upvotes for the algorithm!
