For all who are saying they "predicted" the future, just know that this is *always* how it's been. If they had had public schools in the Middle Ages, there would have been parents complaining that teachers taught students that washing their hands after pooping would cut down on tummy aches.
Well no, what's happening atm is a teacher educating children how to identify a witch. Gender is a sociology term created to add imaginary context to two sexes and one genetic defect.
Brilliant. "It's very hard for you to believe that there's still some of us who can bring a child into this world without recourse to cannabis and government handouts"!🤣🤣
@@hendrixhotel no but this was a parody of people of their time but an accurate portrayal of the entitled shit stains that exist now. This is literally how people behave now.
Hahaha! It's because people from the South are dumb and I'm smart, hahaha! It's so funny! My intellect is overwhelming because I watch documentaries with black science guy about cosmos and shit and TV shows on netflix! Comedic genius!11
@@MrHejke kinda overplayed your hand there buddy, all you needed to do was not complain about a black guy for no reason. Then again the first thing in your acc is a trump video with pepe and 4chan shit, so you're not exactly helping your case here lmao
That era.. has yielded us many bastards. And I am not even from the west. But it was the same everywhere. Especially Royalty is/was full of illegitimate children
they have been part of the American society for decades but when openminded people implemented sex education in American classrooms it sorta died down for a while. Again the clowns demand their rights to make ignorant clowns out of their children
No, they run California, New York or Great Britain to name just a few. Once their woman has nuts and no uterus, no amount of sexual intercourse can make this person pregnant. You definitely spent last decade somewhere in parallel dimension that you are not aware of it. J. K. Rowling somehow challenged that stupidity and that was hell of a pogrom against her afterwards. Those in Texas at least know how woman looks like and which toilet is appropriate for her
@@mungo7136 do they not teach you the difference between sex and gender? 9/10 times, these people's rebuttal boils down to: "i refuse to use modern vocabulary"
@@defeqel6537 "an adult who lives and identifies as female though they may have been said to have a different sex at birth" Literally the first dictionary result if you google, but I guess they don't teach googling in the type of schools you want the world to regress to :)
@@bennylloyd-willner9667 No it's not. Its a joke about the sad fact that Bible thumpers in the Southern United States are actually this ignorantly, obnoxiously, tyranically puritanical.
I'm not used to Stephen acting in a more calm manner. But it's actually good and makes you calm. And actually unless the kid was adopted I can't see another way of saying how he could just be.
wife is fat and got knocked up by the mailman did not notice she was pregnant because again she was fat and he has no idea what sex is and then while out of town she gives birth he comes back and Michael is there.
By God, you don't think Mrs. Smear is secretly married to another man and owns a house with him and is giving him three hot meals a day...? Oh the scandal!
@@lendonsookdeo8072 No, It was not a case of Parthenogenesis, I think House MD lied so to save the marriage of the couple. I don't remember why he did so
@@DatBeanNat you really dont want to try and make that argument. Consider why it is that, universally speaking, all communist countries are largely atheist by technicality, replacing the ideology of religion with a worship of the state. China isnt exactly gay friendly, pol pots’ regime was certainly a crusade against anyone religious or scholarly, the USSR allowed eastern orthodoxy largely due to its state ties and its pro-state propagandism. The biggest atheist zealots were mao, pol pot, stalin, everyone in the kim dynasty, castro up until the 90s… see the correlation here between atheist zealotism and intolerance?
@@lemuelseale1640 Hahaha what? Russia uses the Orthodox church as a weapon and China only targets groups for ethnic purposes for genocide. But sure buddy. You keep blaming people who don't believe in your Sky Daddy for the world's ills.
If you mean it has been cut short by Stephen and Hugh you're right, they wrote it this way I believe (at least it is how it was shown in the ABOFAL episode).
@@bennylloyd-willner9667 I wasn't sure whether by the uploader or whether it was this way in the original episode, but either way it does come across as if it was cut short
@@Steve_P_B it's often how they end sketches in ABOFAL. It has a wtf? effect on the viewer and I think it is intentional. It's like the ending of the haircut sketch" when Stephen is "performing an encutment on a gentleman's hair" with Hugh as customer. I like when comedians don't follow "the general rules of sketch writing" 😊
@@bennylloyd-willner9667 unfortunately there's not any places to watch the whole episodes in Australia so I generally have to rely on RU-vid clips like this
No. The USA today teaches prepubsecent children that a man dressed as a woman is normal, and it's quite fine for such a person to read children stories with politicized messages about transgenderism. Please don't bother to respond. You're obviously far too biased in your views to appreciate any sense of balance or proportion.
@@v1e1r1g1e1 The man in the sketch was upset about the school teaching something he claims to have never done... We won't judge you if you like to wear women's clothes but you need to be honest with yourself
@@manusharma3371 In recent years absurdity became the norm. Flatearth, novax, all kind of messes with gender/sex, everything being racist/sexist, etc. What was once a joke now it feel like a real scene happened in a principle office.
@@mecurian485 Dude... Firstly, you're way off; the medical science actually supports the transgender phenomena. And secondly, you're coming off as transphobic; and any argument steeped in prejudice bias automatically makes said argument null.
@@jjakiefte2165 ik, but they say they have subtitle.. i expect them to have subtitle.. they're clear enough to understand the jokes based on some pointers, but if there's subtitle as promised like the title said.. I get what I expected and can understand all words clearly. Like if a grocery stores says their bread has chocolate flavor, but it turns out it just plain bread. Someone ask about it and then you came and say "They are still bread and makes your stomach full anyway, who needs it?" Then you heroically save the day... Not everyone has normal hearing too, all I found is Auto-generated CC from Google, and it's sometimes inaccurate
I think your expectation is reasonable. If you look in the description, you will find a screenplay of this sketch. It's not subtitles (and the uploader should definitely change the title of the video so as to not mislead viewers), but you might find it even more interesting!
@@troglodyto RU-vid's "auto-generated" captioning isn't real captioning - it's a cheap and lazy, unreliable and inaccurate substitution for the real thing.
The bastards say the left are such snowflakes and whatnot, but a lot of them will boycott anything first chance they get and whine a lot to authorities. Christ that new Lightyear film had 2 old lesbians give a loving peck to each other in marriage for 2 seconds and the cunts are like 'go woke or go broke,' 'boycott Disney for this.'
@@PutinsMommyNeverHuggedHim The people who strongly believe elementary schools are teaching their kids an advanced college-level course, intended for lawyers. When trying to explain facts to these people, you get shot down because they have “faith” which apparently overrules fact, nowadays.
@@farmbrough Some yes but as i`ve learned these last several years . There are some actors that have made it big by just playing one character or just them self. it can be fun but also boring in the long run ...
@@farmbrough i was not refering (typo) to him in my last comment but in acting in general like you did above . You said "Yes, actors can play different characters." and i just elaborated on the fact that not every actor is as good as Hugh Laurie . I meant not to say he is a bad actor ... he can play a variety of different roles but for instance Adam Sandler can not .... in my opinion that is
this should be shown at American school board meetings when parents want to ban books and any language pertaining to transgender biology, etc. Do you think they would get the irony? Is it ironic? I'm never sure. In any case this is absolutely brilliant display of denial of simple facts
No, they wouldn't find the humor in this, as these parents tend to be humorless bullies. Like their hero Donny T, their range of humor is limited to punching down, and their self-righteous narcissism doesn't allow self-reflection or empathy. Sad state of affairs in the U.S.
Transgender biology... like married bachelors? The flight characteristics of submarines? The eating habits of small rocks? Pseudoscience today is certainly more prolific than ever but it just doesn't feel like it's trying very hard.😄
I think it's better for them to teach transgender psychology and how they come to be rather than explaining their biology since there's nothing awry going on in their biology and most of the issue happens inside their psyche. Unless of course you're talking about hermaphrodites.
@@robertmartin6800 Although many places, especially in the USA, definitely overdo it with bringing up sexuality to children who are not even close to puberty, the majority of what is taught is indeed true and important to be shown to post-pubescent people who could be struggling with sexuality and gender roles that very traditional societies do not accept which can be very harmful to people's psychosocial states.
@@urmumwota4185 Our children are less mentally healthy than at any other point in our history, I don't see any basis for the notion that _not_ enforcing traditional gender roles, or exposing them to sexually explicit content when they're still children, are boons to children's mental health, it seems more likely that the opposite is the case. That may be what they self report, but that's certainly not what the data are telling us. The children being exposed to such content, and who have nontraditional gender and sexual roles enforced upon them are far and away the least mentally healthy.
@@Mutantcy1992 Many American school parents complain about science and health topics taught to students. Seeing this video compares with how odd the complaints are.
@Drwatsconca what the left wing is doing is dangerous. you do not discuss any sex related issues with kids 3-4-5-6-7 year old. I believe telling kids of 5 years old what they have between their legs at that age is called grooming. I happen to have seen some of the material and that is extremelly concerning. I'm glad that many states have taken action to prevent this nonsense. Up until one is 12 years of age, reproduction etc should not enter the curriculum. It is for the parents then to decide what they want to do, that's their child after all.
Uh... you realize saying "only an adult female can get pregnant from having sex" is actually radically transphobic regressive language that would get you banned on twitter, right? It's not "the American right" pushing insanity on kids these days boss.
Every group is like such these days. Leftist Muslims Liberals Right wing/Conservative. It's just that there's a wave of Right wing all around the world and they get away with this. But All fronts are equally resembles the mentioned person.
@Ajit Adonis Manilal yup, I love it when these people get all worked up about the concept of men getting pregnant, then on Sunday go to church to hear about that time a virgin gave birth.
Between one political side paranoid of grooming and the other insistent that anything goes regarding sex, except for the last bit,this was the perfect clairvoyant satire of America in 2022. Just magic.
@Ajit Adonis Manilal Agreed. But there is a difference between teaching and encouraging love and acceptance, and promoting a sexual identity, etc, like it is some kind of hot new fashion trend (which can happen when progressive activists, of whom some might argue are disproportionately represented by teachers, tend toward).
@Ajit Adonis Manilal It's surely not all or nothing. Many teachers, etc , are advocating for acceptance and understanding, a few are pushing it to potentially harmful, or at least unhelpfully provocative degrees because they are caught up in social justice ideology, and a few others are probably hateful bigots. Optimal school environments are ones where teachers and administrators communicate with the parents and communities they live and work in, so that consensus can be factored in as much as possible in the handling of these unfortunately sensitive topics. Whatever the case, the best path forward is mutual respect and love.
@Ajit Adonis Manilal yea there’s generally a societal risk for being a degenerate, as there should be. Homosexuality is not nature, it’s nurtured by others and accepted by you. You make the choice, just like giving in to drugs and anger are choices. Admittedly it’s hard to turn away from those addictive behaviors, but there are people who recognize that and want to help victims lead a better life.
