He thing is that is not every day. Stan is ONLY like this trought the phone. So he is normal when Steve talks to him in person. The issue there is that Stan doesn't talk about his life in person so Steve can't interview him unless is trought the phone.
And point a heaven gun at God's head. And had an atheist friend comeback to life after that friend met the devil. And met his Gaurdian Angel, finding out that he in a _"Wonder life"_ Christmas lesson and this isn't his real family. And made a deal with the Devil to revive him and his wife in exchange for going to Hell after dying the next time (He plans on training for Ninja Warrior course in Hell to get to Heaven) We don't think about continuity here.
I hate when a show doesn't have any sense of continuity. I get that they're making a joke, but said joke ignores a major piece of character development for Stan, namely that he has personally interacted with angels, God and other supernatural forces.
he isnt... think of that episode like simpsons treehouse of horrors... its not cannon... and i dont know when this episode aired but tbere was an experience he had where he killed himself and francine and went to heaven and sold his soul to the devil
@Jack Marsden Brian's met Jesus before and he is still an atheist. They even. Brought up the fact that he has met Jesus when talking about his atheism.
@@Garrus1995 Eh the shows on a floating timeline, character development outside of things like cast changes doesn't really occur. If it did Steve would've graduated after season 4. It really only exists within the confines of the episode or two part episode if that.
He has, the whole plot is him just trying to ask Stan questions for his history class and everytime he does he just goes off about stuff that's way too personal
@@ariejohnson1944 It's not like this is some known unknown. The episode is available to watch. You watched a clip wherein what SeniorWaffles described what happened perfectly. What more do you want?
Sorry dude I kinda know how that feels and I honestly feel like if there’s not a change I’m gonna end exactly like stan expect, I doubt I’ll have wife or home
Seth, actually isn't the creative mind or writer for this show. He's really just a voice actor who's friends with Matt Weitzman & Mike Barker that gave him co creator credit & an executive producer nod to push FOX to greenlight the show. Seth doesn't write or come up with storylines for American Dad as everyone thinks he does. That's Family Guy, where Seth has WAY MORE say over.
Most realistic thing: middle-age including anxiety, disappointment... and diarrhea more often than not... Least realistic thing: 16 students in a public high school class
I don't know I had less then 40 in my whole senior class, and had less going to the same class at the same time hell my biggest class was weights but that was just because the whole football team had to take it. But then again I did go to a small public school for that had to take kids from three small towns just so each teacher could at least get 10 students each.
had something like that once... teacher even gave me detention for 3 days over it. day 1, I sat there are glared at the chalkboard for the whole period without doing anything else of substance. detention teacher asked me to explain what was bothering me about being there... she agreed with me and overruled him, cancelling the rest of my detention. > Yeah, when a smart person tells you "I didn't actually LEARN anything new" during a lesson, it's not a criticism of your lesson plan or competency as a teacher, it's just a simple statement of fact. I already knew every single thing in the material.
The looks on everyones faces when Stan talked, some were shocked and others were terrified in fact it's amazing that everyone in that classroom didn't try to kill themselves.
If you've seen this whole episode, Stan does this every time Steve asked him for help with his assignment. All in all, Stan is a bigger jackass than Brian Griffin.
00:41 Someone's who has gone through depression wrote that line, lol. When you're depressed, that few seconds of confusion and forgetfulness right after waking up is the highlight of your whole day.
The best thing about this is Steve’s emotions He was at first nervous and didn’t know how to say anything But when Mr Brink called him out he was like, “Okay game on”
I relate so much to the part about how he wakes up and he's happy for only a few short fleeting seconds until he remembers all his worries. The past fourteen years of my life have been that an it will never change. I've almost come to not only believe that but also accept it.
Well… I hear the Netherlands have legalized euthanasia if it ever becomes too unbearable. I don’t care about the American cult of positivity. Putting on a fake mask everyday
If I remember right, Barry hinted in a different episode that he was abused by his uncle, that may have been what it was, either that or it was a throw away joke. Edit: I say this at the risk of being r/wooooshed
The fact that they didn't just add a thud for the teacher's body hitting the ground, but they also added a splatter sound effect, implying a copious amount of blood is both deeply disturbing but also an incredible display of attention to detail 😰😰
@@WarriorsfanDubnation No, it's because depression can affect everyone. It doesn't matter if your life is fantastic, when you're in that dark pit, it's nigh-impossible to crawl out, but it *can* be done.
@@bufan7177 I used to wonder the same thing about Kurt Cobain. That was before I dealt with depression myself. It fucks everyone up that it passes, some worse than others.
@@liamroberts1458 Who the fuck gave rich and successful people the right to be depressed? They have piles of money, can do whatever, whenever, and if they don't like what they do each day then they can easily afford to do literally anything else that is more meaningful. Any rich person who is depressed is a fucking pussy
How I felt when I was suicidal like a year ago. Don't kill yourself people, you do matter and there's purpose and people who love you. It took me forever to realize that
@@anthonybeam8003 vr is a bit more then a game it's promise that you can oneday emulate real life so well that you might be able to have a new one it's even used in therapy for prisoners and in retirement homes for the elderly
Wtf... Stan just said to the smallest detail what I feel like every day, even that 5 seconds after sleep. I didn't expected my mentality to be in this show
That teacher's face changed when he found out Steve was telling the truth. Some parents are like that teacher's always say let me talk to your parents when they think the student is lying about what there parents said then find out the student was telling the truth
No when you are requested to adhere to what you are called to uphold. Yet as leader to your moral obligations as a student of academics of higher learning. To then in turn come up short. Only to be slandered by those in the position of higher authority and expectations from your elders that's quite blissful of your homelife. Upon proper communication skills that are MIA of your own flesh and blood. You cannot expect your upper superiors to show a willingness to understand by your position alone. So with an already damaged reputation from the assumption of said teacher you must bring forth evidence to showcase your authenticity of your word alone. Now that the truth has been told from Stan which is the pun of the joke the truth (so to speak) it reveals that Steve did not bare false witness. Then overdelivered to reveal the insecurities from his teacher by making Stan self project his own life to display the teachers own life. Causing him to jump out of said window. Which steve had no intent of harming. He merely defended himself from being slandered in the first place. So it's not Steve's responsibility for catching teachers jumping out of windows. Besides suicide is not very healthy for you body eat more greens!!!😇 can I have a cookie now?
Back in early 1980 my tenth grade history teacher committed suicide. We thought it was great at the time because a) we didn't like him and b) we got a substitute for the rest of the year (who we did like.) It wasn't until around 2005, my early 40's, that it dawned on me that our class might have been the cause of his depression. That and Jimmy Carter had been POTUS for over 3 years at that point and the Iran Hostage Crisis had been going on for a few months.
Don't feel too bad, many people make mistakes when they're younger. I also have anxiety about anything to do with Iran and related news and I'm sure being alive at the time of the crisis would have been scary
Sounds to me like this guy had a lot of other shit going on...it was the 80s, who didn't, right? Maybe you were a factor, but I doubt you were the cause. I mean, if it were *just* his students, he could have got a new job...or transfered school districts...or taken a few years off to pursue whatever "dream job" he had before teacher... Or maybe you did. Maybe you guys were a bunch of turds in his punch bowl and he had just had enough. I doubt it, but that does make for a better story.
I was shocked that this was on RU-vid!! I watched the episode and didn’t even bother searching for this part. However!!!!! Someone else feels the same as I do!! What a relief. We’re not alone men!! Keep soldering on. There is comfort in community. The only difference is, I wake up in a panic. There is NO 5 seconds of peace. Waking up is the worst part of my day. Let’s not give up, but if we do, we do so as bravely as Mr Brink. If ur here it’s because u got a little Brink in u, but I’m with u! Not today brothers, not today. Let’s make it one more day.
You know what really unsettles me? That deep down I agree with Stan through that subconscious thought that is stored way back in the corner of my brain. Whatever this voice, thought or feeling is, no matter how happy and stable I feel I never feel like I was able or will be able to get rid of it. Of course the voice of reason is stronger. the conscious version of me is stronger and in charge. I am stronger and in charge! So I wouldn’t even think about anything melancholic, let alone suicidal. Unless all the stress gets too much, I crumble under the pressure, can no longer keep my emotions in check and go a step too far, I should be fine. I’ve got nothing to worry about
Fun fact: We see from the external shot of the school that Steve's school is only two floors tall. This means that his teacher fell no more than 20 feet, or about 6 meters for those across the pond. The medial fall height is 48 feet, or about four floors, twice what our teach just took. His suicide attempt is likely to end with a couple of annoyingly broken bones, depending on how he landed, potential paralyzation if he breaks his back/spine, crack ribs if he landed on his front, and only possibly death if he angled himself down to try and crack open his skull or snap his neck with the impact. In other words, what a drama queen, like that fall would even have a chance of dismissing life.
empty days and yet no where else in the universe can you expect to have it so nice. at least we have oxygen and aren't constantly being bombarded with radiation. If the days are meaningless, then so is the person experiencing them. make change, do something different, actually be someone
Lyrics: Oh i dont know i guess i think about killing myself pretty frequently And why not, whats so great about living? You know when I'm happy, for about 5 seconds in the morning when i first wake up Before i remember who i am and what my life is all about. Anxiety, disappointment, diarrhea more often than not. I- I dont know if theres an afterlife, but who cares, nothingness couldnt be any worse than this meaningless march through my empty days.
