Hello all my new followers this is your cult leader, Frankie. If you like my videos and would like to see me continue my cultural observations, please consider contributing to my buy me a coffee page. That way I don’t have to work and I can drink as many Capri suns as I want. Give me your money. Link in bio. Namaste 🙏🏻
Hey man just wanted to point out that the guy at 1:51 is wearing white laces in ladder lacing, in the lace code that means he is a white supremacist :/
“the height of the doc marten build is directly proportionate to the wearer’s relationship with their parents. they say the taller they're built, the longer it's been since you’ve spoken to your father” WHAT A BANGER
"couples who wear Doc Martens together are highly like to have met each other in rehab... which is where they'll eventually return to" 😂 they may never *recover* from that one.
@@ayla8345 lol! That is an appropriate response in-line with the tone of the original comment, lol! That's like totally an experience that is normal and relateable to many, thus you shared publicly! I affirm you with the response you totally expected and say that is quirky, edgy, comedy.
You have a knack for explaining complicated theoretical concepts in a way that is digestible to the average person. That in itself is a gift, but to do so in what I can only assume is not your native language, is extremely impressive. Love your content; keep it coming!
Thank you all for joining me on this spiritual journey, I wrote a book, it’s a toxic travel guide about Ireland. You can buy it in the link in my bio. Namaste 🙏🏻
Same. I bought a pair and they tore my heels to shit. People kept telling me that they take time to “wear in”. But even months later my socks were soaked in blood after a few hours of wearing the abominations. Who the fuck wants to own shoes that you have to basically mangle yourself in before they fit properly?
@@Sirjohnfootball goodness gracious, I’ve never had that happen with any of my pairs of docs. Were you wearing proper socks with it? Maybe it was the build of it or something, I’m so sorry your experience was like that :( that sounds very painful
@Sir John Football yeah, you gotta wear thick fluffy socks with them if there's enough space, make its comfy and keeps your feet warm especially in colder countries + you get to look cool 😉
@@Sirjohnfootball docs do that if they don't fit your feet *perfectly* :/ I have one pair that can make my feet sore still after wearing them daily for over a year and another pair that were comfy as shit from the very first day.
Wear 2 pairs of socks(one pair thicker)and plasters around little toes and heels while you're breaking them in.. The first time I wore mine I made the mistake of only wearing only one pair of socks & my feet were ripped to bits after 20mins of walking.. They're all good now I've broke them in
As somebody who wears Doc Martins regularly, I can confirm that all of this is true, although you did forget to mention the self hatred that we all feel, expressed through the fact that we all wear a type of shoe that is supposed to hurt while you wear it for an extremely long period of time. But other than that everything was spot on. Now if you don’t mind I need to get back to doing ketamine and writing incredibly original anti-capitalist literature, containing never before seen ideas such as: Homelessness bad and maybe people who cannot pay for food shouldn’t just have to die. I’m sure it’s gonna be a hit with all the friends I have that I see every time I go to rehab.
"People who wear Doc Martens pride themselves on their sardonic wit and alternative charm, even though 98% of their personality type is quoting Arctic Monkeys lyrics and being self conscious." Honestly, seems pretty accurate to majority of DM wearing people I meet.
im fucking geeked. just found these vids and they're gold. im from the US and just graduated from WVU. WVU has a some pretty distinct cultural categories amongst its student body. I think there's huge potential for videos like this. I've witnessed groups of 30+ fraternity kids where every member os wearing literally the exact same thing (timbs with jeans or grey sweats and a hoody with a flannel over top). The mullet returned (although the trend is almost over) and there's a big section of people who disidentify with fraternity and bro culture and they all choose to wear edgy or gothic shot with docs and dyed hair and septum piercings. thank you for these videos man! very funny. keep going!!
My biggest gripe with Docs are that they fuse the upper boot to the sole with adhesives, rather than the more traditional way. It makes repairs and resoling absolutely difficult. Most cobblers you go to arent willing to do the job, and the ones that are will put you on their silent shitlist. The design of their boots fly in the face of the entire purpose of what a boot is supposed to be: a repairable work shoe that stays with you for life.
Docs just suck all round, a £40 boot being sold for £200, Redback, Red Wings, Whites, Thursday are way better quality boots for the same price, and like you Tumans said, Solovair if you want the 100% docs look.
Of all your "targets" these were definitely the ones who had the most fun with ya. Brilliantly done, and all the better for the participation of those involved 👍
“you had a panic attack at the launch of ur friends cbd coffee kiosk” was so sharp and pointed i think it sliced through me like the Phineas Gage Spike
@@killazaawl i think it’s made up but cbd is a compound found in weed that is fully legal in most states. it’s basically the ibuprofen version of weed. a cbd coffee would make you calm (cbd) and wired (coffee) so it’s a very silicon valley idea
This kid's delivery is wonderfully sardonic and deadpan. Now here is someone who deserves to be on national television with his own prime time tv show.
I'm old enough to remember Doc Martens being popular in the late 1970s and then in the 1980s. They were connected to the Skinhead movement. Now they are making a come back, and guys with long hair are wearing them.
I am 52 years old. I took 2 semesters of sociology then dropped out and pursued a successful music/film career. You my friend are awesome! Gosh if RU-vid were around back then I coulda dropped out AND continued to research
In the Netherlands, like 70% of all girls wear doc Martens. It’s a huge staple. Doc martens have lost all their meaning here. Even people with a good parental relationships wear them 😔😔
@@buhoylancer8496 there’s something called lace code that used to be popular, and having white shoelaces ladder laced like that generally means ‘white pride’ which is not good
The ones with the white contrast stitching on the midsole are Solovair brand, which are slightly superior to Doc Martens in terms of quality of materials and construction.
@@TestMeatDollSteak and you deleted it…hmm 💀 Anyway, it wasn’t my intention to make you big mad over the benign solovair comment. I was just lamenting over the lack of selection. They are the OG docs so it would be nice if they also made the other styles with that MIE quality 👌🏻
I used to wear docs all through middle school and high school they were great since back then in mid/late 90’s were only associated with the alternative/goth scene and it made you instantly unapproachable by other teens unless they were on the same group 😂
Daamn, this clip should be played on all the monitors in the Berlin subway.....or in front of the Berghain cue. Some funny Doc Marten weirdos out here. Love 'em
Fashion isn't evolving, but it's constantly inventing itself new, based on styles from the past.. Martens are back, Buffalos are back..Everything keeps coming back after roughly 20 years.
Even though I own a pair of Docs (from early 2000s before manufacturing moved to China) every sarcastic comment here has a beautiful grain of truth in it. The best type of comedy.
You should do an observation of people that unironically wear crocs. I don't understand it. Also people that don't wear socks with their trainers, borderline psychopathic
@@fakename287 I’m not sure what you’re trying to say. If it that’s you don’t agree, then that’s fine. It’s that great that we’re all entitled to called an opinion.
