4 Obnoxious Old People Behaviors (Explained By Science) 

Inside every old man is a young man wondering "what the hell happened?"

At my age, 68, getting lucky means I remember WHY I walked into the kitchen. 😁

I'm so old, I can remember the Cuban Missile Crisis. I'm so old, I can remember when gas was 35 cents per gallon. I'm so old I can remember if you wanted to call more than 100 miles you had to get the long distance operator. I'm so old, I can remember....uh....what were we talking about again?

I'm a cranky old guy,and I approve this message I recently came to the realization that we old farts are cranky simply because we've been dealing with non-stop crap for so long that we just can't take it any more

Actually I think the biggest source of crankiness is straight-up pain and physical limitatuons.

“....when things were better. Probably because you weren’t here.” LOL

As someone quickly becoming old (I'm 54) I realize there are so many more reasons old people are "cranky." Chronic pain, frustration, inability to do basic tasks easily, fear, having knowledge no one will listen too, knowing life is all downhill from here, people treating you like an imbecile or child - patronizing you, all the friends in your age group suffering and complaining or dying - the list goes on and on.

While a student nurse of 19, an old claw of a hand gripped my arm and 80 yo voice croaked. 'Remember in the moment when they wake before they move, every old person is 27' Now 43 yrs later, living with a neuromuscular disease that has completely changed how my body works and how I live... I cherish that time when I wake before I move

Roger stop telling people your name is Jack Hunter. You're Roger Horton damnit.

Grey pride! We're old, we're tired, get off our lawn!!

Sometimes, the crankiness is entertainment for us. I used to say I'd never be the angry old fart...... but the other night I yelled at a bunch of kids to get off my lawn and went back in the house and laughed about it for a good half hour. Putting that shocked look on those kids faces was the funniest shit ever. Old age is so much fun.

This is a truly wonderful video. Young people have no idea how things they take for granted will disappear: smooth skin, shiny hair, endless energy, deep sleep, sharp eyesight etc. thanks Granpa Jack! Make more of these important videos!

When I was young... we used to say "don't trust anyone over 30" Now that I'm older it's, "don't trust anyone at all".

Seems like the longer I live, the older I get. Does anyone else have this problem?

I'm 75 and still happy. My kids are finally growing up (sort of, they are in their 40's) and realize ol' Dad was right all along. That's the best part, knowing all your advice along the way wasn't wasted.

I'm only cranky because of two things: Time and gravity.

I love that old man damnit.

😂🤣 I'm 64 now and this is hysterical. I remember when l thought being 30 was old

Getting old means I have accumulated some useful experience, knowledge and wisdom, which is the whole point of living a long time. My most important message to young people is: "It really pays off in the long run, if whenever possible, you try not to be an arsehole".

To tell you the truth as a young person I never thought I would be laughing so hard at getting roasted and educated at the same time LOL. Still I'm very grateful for this video so thanks a lot cheers.

B-but that's Roger...

"You're smelling the Depression, the real one..." 🤣🤣🤣

The part about being in fight mode reminds me of a story a teacher told me of when he was younger and almost got into a fight with an old man and the old man warned him something along the lines of. "Just remembered I'm old , I have nothing to lose and don't care so you may beat me, may even kill me. But I'll be sure you never forget this fight because I will take somthing from you. Might be an eyeball , might be a testicle but I will take somthing"

Old Lady Smell: Lavender and Moth Balls Old Man Smell: Sweat, Mildew and Old Spice.

Best thing about getting older is that you don’t give a shit about almost everything.

To sum all this up, the older I get the less I give a fuck what you think. It's kind of freeing.

I've noticed many changes as i've aged. At 19 i watched Home Alone and thought it was a funny festive film. Now, at 48, i'm wondering how such a dysfunctional family could afford a house the size of Rhode Island on an estate the size of Alabama 🤔

Jack, this was perfect. Getting older is a blessing but….the thing I love most is stating exactly what is on your mind at any given moment and watching the faces of the shocked people that hear you. We’ve lived long enough to know a lot of Ish, had a lot of experiences and have earned the right to say and do EXACTLY what we want, the rest be damned.🤣🤣🤣

When my 18 yr. old Daughter calls me old, I just tell her "I take comfort in knowing that you will be here one day too"

I'm 66 and I look at the bright sides of getting old, No need for Weather forecast: it's all in our bones and joint , No need to eat so often: we're still digesting breakfast. No need to clean up the mailbox of junk mail: they don't offer us anything anymore. Who needs a clock ? not me. Can't sleep ? so what, no time to lose. My house and car are paid for. Thank god for dentistry , I still have all my teeth holding precariously. Taste buds are fading away ? well, there's IPA beer with a lot of Hops. Can't remember something ? so what, no babies to forget in a hot car. Your young neighbours got 2 babies in a row and are happy about it ? you just smile thinking about what's coming up later on. Be happy ! getting old is not that bad.

“When things were better because you weren’t here yet” 😂

There's the saying "don't mess with old people, the term 'life sentence' doesn't carry the weight it used to".

Life begins at 70....I'm 75 and so far so good. I care a little less about how my hair looks and more about how I feel, a little less about what others think of me and more about what I think of myself, and although I have been blessed with good genes and have no illness nor pains, I regret that I still have sooooo much yet to learn and less time to learn it.

Aging is all the rage man! Everyone is doing it

I freaking love elderly people. My grandpa fought the veitnam war and he has so many stories to tell, that I can just listen for hours. None of us understand the struggles these people have gone through in their life so it’s best to just respect your elders, after all you wouldn’t be here if it wasn’t for them, literally. Not to mention my grandma was in the height of African American discrimination, she marched with Martin Luther king to make a stand against racial discrimination. Old people have the most majestic and awe inspiring stories to tell, all because they were brave enough to take part in things like racial rights movements or wars. This shows that we also need to take a stand on things like war, racism and fighting climate change and the extinction of earths beloved species. If you guys don’t like hearing how terrible our generation is than we should start taking a stand too.

"You smell depresion ... not that one the real one, the great one" - Hilarious "Back in our time even the worst things were great" - Genious

The depression, the real one - the Great one! Because back in our day even the worst things were still great. 😂😂😂😂

I'll be 70 in a few months. Sounds old right now, until I turn that age. Then 80 will sound old. But as long as I can enjoy projects in and out of the home, laugh, move, study, read, enjoy folks, aging can be quite enjoyable!

My grandma did the hoarding thing; every closet and drawer in her house was filled to the brim with all sort of things; old letters, newspapers, clothing, broken stuff, just everything you could think of. Even now, a lot of the stuff she collected over her life is still crowding the house, though now it's topped with our junk as well.

Man, I am terrified of getting old. Weakening, breaking down and forgetting things. The fact I will die, likely in a degrading way and have to face the oblivion of a conciousness death.

The anger part is absolutely true lol,i'm 44 now and the older i get the less i give AF about other people's opinions or even their company and it feels great not being obsessed about other people's oppinions about me or if they like me 😂

I'm 17 and loved this. . . definitely will be more understanding of old people now

Thanks, Roger, just added hard candy to the shopping list. "Come at me, bro." I can punch, but if you hit me, I'm over 65, that's elder abuse.

On my 30th birthday, my brother-in-law's 80 year old mother heard me say, "I could swear it was only yesterday that I was 20." She guffawed loudly and replied "Get used to it. It happens every ten years from now on."

This guy ROCKS!!! I can't stop laughing at his Sarcasm in all his videos!😂😂😂

What? Wait you're not Jack you said you were Roger! All this time. You lied to me. I trusted in you Roger.

This is without a doubt one of the funniest, and yet one of the truest, videos I have ever seen. Yes, I was alive during the Great Depression and WWII Seems like it was only yesterday. And, you are right. I do not give a damn about what is going on today.

My only complaint about old people is when they resent me for knowing things, not being scared of minorities, not being obsessed with my looks while I have them, and being farther from deteriorative death.

"Most likely because you weren't here yet." Hahahahaha! :)

at 64, I'm grumpy because everything hurts.

"Back in the day, even the worst things were still GREAT." lol

"...well, for what will likely be a theme here, you're wrong." LMFAO

You forgot about one of the most known stereotypes from old people. They say whatever comes into their minds regardless of what anyone may think of them. Because old people finally realised that "keeping appearences" is a fu@%$in waste of their precious time left. And THAT is the fu@#%en reason why, from now on, this is my favorite RU-vid channel.

Love the comment about smell. My grandmother hoarded plants, and I always thought she smelled nice. Which she did, she always smelled like a garden.

"I'm so old that today, for me, shooting up means the enema bag!!" - Rodney Dangerfield

You missed one, Pops. Public farting. My grandmother used to do it. Happened all the time when she hit 80. She just didn’t give a damn. One time, we were in an elevator at the hospital for one of her checkups and every time that thing beeped for a floor, she farted. Damn near killed us all. All the way up to the 10th floor! And then she wanted to know how come I didn’t flirt with that nice nurse that was next to her stretcher. 🤣 Jesus! 🤦‍♂️

some older folks eat hard candy because the chewy stuff pulls out their dentures.

Do not go gentle into that good night. Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

My body is 67, but my mind hasn't caught up yet.😂

And even if you're not a hoarder, there's this: "As our skin matures, its natural antioxidant protection declines. This decline results in greater oxidation of lipid acid. When lipid acid is oxidized, the chemical compound nonenal is produced, giving off the 'old people smell' that many of us are familiar with."

According to this video I must be mostly an old person, I miss everything about my Grandma, Grandfathers, Gramma & my Grams....I wouldn’t have wanted to change a single thing about all the time I was lucky enough to spend with them. Older people are treasures that should be pampered & given all the love one can as they have more wisdom in their pinky than most young people have. I really miss the classy, intelligent people who loved me so much that you would think that life would come screeching to a halt without me, only selfish jerks feel this way!!!

Worst thing for me is on the inside looking out You feel a hell of a lot younger than you look ,but yes your body betrays you

Most accurate, even 7 years later. 😂 Thanks Jack

The great thing about being old is, you aren't dead. You just feel like it.

My grandma has always smelled really good. She smells like the detergent that she washes her and my grandpas clothes in. And as a kid I always remember her smelling like night cream because after a bath she puts it on. Hugging her is nice because her house coats are soft and she always smells clean, like soap. Idk there’s something about smelling clean without putting perfume on. I hate perfume (as a 21 yo female millennial). It’s too strong to me. And my grandpa always smells like aftershave which smells good but kinda strong. Her house is neat as a pin and she keeps it so clean you can literally eat off the floors. She won’t dust with something like a swiffer but uses soap and water and the same goes for windex, she washes her windows and blinds with soap and water. She also takes her curtains down several times a year and washes and irons them. She irons every piece of clothing she or my grandpa wear. She also changes their bed sheets (which are also ironed) more than once a week and they always smell sooooo good. She vacuums and mops daily as well as dusts. There’s never a dish in her sink and she’s always always always cooking something. She 76 and was born on 9-11-1941 which was almost exactly 3 months before the US got dragged into WWII. She’s definitely a 60’s typical housewife. Talking about what my grandpa does (at 83! Yes 83!) would take forever because he still gardens, trims shrubs, mows the yard, shovels snow etc etc etc etc etc. He has a brother who is 93 (they are two of eight kids). Anyways my grandparents aren’t typical “old people” and I love them so much.

I like this dude, he looks like a sinister Art Linkletter.

I'm at the age where my back goes out more than I do.

I can clear an entire room if I try to talk to people about the realities of how old/seniors people are treated in 2023. You can see the uncomfortable real fast. It's a big issue, the treatment, and the ignoring it by pushing it out of sight and mind.

I work in a nursing home. I appreciate the insight. That said, some old people are just sh*theads. They were sh*theads when they were 15, when they were 30 and 55, and they'll be sh*theads till the day the embalmer comes for them with that long, zip-up gurney. Thankfully, not all are like that. There are a few dear old souls that were amazing. I remember one lady who smiled even on her death bed. I want to be like her when I'm old!

Actually that 'old people scent' is because of the old person's immune system being compromised, when you meet someone you 'smell' their immune system, you want to find someone with a different strong immune system to make healthy babies with, old peoples immune systems are weakened creating that unmistakable scent, be immune compromised for long enough and you will smell like an old person at pretty much any age. I'm David by the way.

damn, I almost spent 1/5th of my life already, time flies by so quickly

I turn 65 next year. The only one retiring next year is "the nice guy". I'm done with that f'kr. "Come at me bro!" LOL, hilarious.

His name is jack? Plot twist this is Future Jack O'Brian

Older people get dry mouth frequently. Hard candies help moisten the mouth by producing saliva.

I hit 50 recently and am now the lady handing out butterscotch candies to coworkers. 😂😂😂

When I was in HS, me and a friend figured these things about the elderly ourselves and the result was us always getting along better with adults versus our peers.

Remember, the alternative to getting old is dying young. Live life to the fullest and grab all the gusto you can while you’re above ground.

They need to do one on middle age. That's the miserable half way point where you are forced to accept or condemn your past and give it one last shot while it's still possible if it's still possible. And right about then half of your friends start dying and if you aren't one of them you can then begin worrying about gradually dealing with the horrible shit mentioned in this video.

I remember when safe sex meant not getting caught by their parents..

I love seeing people who I know aren't going to age well. It just adds to the joy knowing what you are marching to each new day. I got news for you ever injury, ever sports injury, those years of abusing your knees jogging, it a comes back to bite you. Look at your parents, you will become exactly like them.

Memory is the 2nd thing to go when you get older. I can't remember what the first thing is!!

When I was 18 I thought everyone would get old but me. I would stay young forever. Now I am a physical Trainwreck but my mind is still young. Old age sucks!!!

My tips for not getting ‘old’ Don’t talk about what’s wrong with your health. Listening to the ‘organ recital’ is a total buzz kill. Don’t talk about people you know who have died, at least not incessantly. Don’t start a sentence with ‘Years ago...’ Keep in good physical shape. Exercise doesn’t stop time, but it will allow you to dress decently, have a good posture and be active. Declutter everything every year. Home, wardrobe, car. Especially wardrobe. Don’t give up on yourself -keep challenging, physically and intellectually.

This is hilarious and so identifiable. Best part of ageing is that you don’t give a çrap what people think, there are no consequences for your actions (criminal conduct aside).

I wish my grandpa was still alive to yell at us behind the screen door.. Get off my lawn! 😭 R. I. P Gramps

Getting old is a privilege many don't get.

Jack and Roger are twins, I swear!

Favorite line so far: "Natures trying to say our times up? Well bite my ass nature you coward!"

I’ve heard that some of that smell is due to that fact that many prescription medications contain chemicals that smell already and are then excreted through the pores of the skin. Seems like that would make sense since the famed old people smell to me is very similar to hospital smell which is ‘medication central’.

Best Old Person On The Planet

This still 4yrs later has my dude and I hysterical! 🤣Great laugh!!

LOL, you can't help but love this guy....so funny!

Whew. Never imagined id laugh my ass off while being roasted so hard

Getting old is not for wimps.

Old people can have many fascinating stories to tell. The irony is that so many of them have nobody who will listen.

OMG!!! This is the best damn thing I've accidentally had come up on my YT feed in YEARS! Laughter and tears by god!! Laughter and tears! Shared this on FB.

"Your bodies not done with you yet" First line and I'm already lol'ing.

Honestly, I love older generations. They have the best stories.

This is the most American video I have seen in years. I just love it.

Hilarious! Thank you! Everyone at work knows I have a pocket full of Werther's!!!
