When I first saw this episode, this clip actually freaked me out a little. Only because I used to have that sort of problem when I was younger. Only difference was that i'd lose my sight if I sat or stood too fast. The only reason this happened was because I had a brain tumor that was actually making me very sick. The only reason I hadn't thought about me going blind was because I got surgery to remove the tumor almost 15 years ago and didn't have the problem since then. Thank God. Unsurprisingly, I _did_ go blind after I woke up from surgery and the doctor said I'd never see again. But, and I still can't explain it, I woke up one morning while still in ICU and I could see. Now my sight is very damaged today. I went from having 20/20 vision to becoming nearsighted and nearly blind in my left eye, but at least I CAN see. And I'm so grateful just for that
@@starspeculation Oh, trust me, I feel truly blessed. The doctor told me that the kind of tumor I had, if it were to come back, it would be at least 10 years. MINE CAME BACK TWICE IN A FEW YEARS!! I also started getting seizures whenever I would lie down and we found out that I had a blood clot in my head after my grandpa accidentally hit me with a softball. The blood clots came back twice after THAT surgery, so that's three more. After the third one, they put a shunt in my head to drain the clots. And because the tumor wouldn't stay away, they put me on chemotherapy AND radiation for 6 months. That didn't do anything, so I just started having to go to the hospital every 4 months to get an MRI to make sure my tumor (which I technically still have because they couldn't remove all of it due to it being too close a ventricle) stays in stasis and doesn't get any bigger. And I'm now prone to seizures, so I take meds for that🙄 I guess you could say I've been to Hell and back
AAAAAAHHHHH!!!! PAAAAAIIIINNNN!!!!!! I broke my hand yesterday because of the hate comments I get all the time. I was so angry that I punched a hole in my computer. Please don't hate me, dear sha
the scary part is that there is a real condition similar to this, known as amaurosis fugax, or episodic blindness. although it's not caused by brain issues, it still is a real and terrifying condition
@@heyitsmetrevor9352 I wasn’t eating enough iron at the time, which caused my blood flow to weaken in my brain, leading to my eyesight issues. Nowadays, I make sure to eat more foods with iron in them, like meat.
I once was blind for a minute outside of class, I though "who turned out all the lights, oh, well I better get to class, good thing the school has hand rails in this area"
the time lois and jaqueline bumped each other is exactly at 0:19 ensuring that jaqueline was blind 5 seconds ago and that her duration for her sight is accurate
@@swifthennessy1949 well it would certainly ruin all enjoyment of music, having phone calls would be difficult, and even regular conversations would be a challenge. Blindness like that you could never legally drive, but besides flashes of darkness you’d still in theory be able to enjoy most things
@@TheNucaKola well, like you said, there's driving, watching movies is probably not enjoyable, reading, writing, most sports (if not all), or even walking down a flight of stairs without being too careful is dangerous. My point is, both senses are important. Can't really say losing one is better than the other.
@@TheNucaKola considering it's only like 5 seconds of deafness the cons of not fully enjoying a song or asking someone to repeat themselves is very little compared not driving or not able to work outside of a desk job
“Alright, I gotta find a bathroom cuz that’s mostly what life is after 60.” Yeah, life just gets worse as you get older. There’s no point in growing up or getting older.
@@goldenfishjr490 I mean, they do but you also do it more frequently and with more urgency. Your body gets worse as you get older, but taking care of it over the course of your life can make things better.
I used to go blind and dizzy if I stood up too fast as a kid. One time I was stuck in a really long episode of it (it usually lasted about 3-5 seconds but this one had lasted 30) so I went to just try and get a drink but my legs gave out and I just collapsed into a pile onto the floor, I tried grabbing the door to get myself back up but my arms gave out too and I was just a flailing mess and couldn’t see a thing. It was terrifying, but hasn’t happened since then, and the 3 second blindness stopped happening a few months after
there was a lady who suffered a brain injury and she would see everything i flashes, sort of like being in a dark room and see a strobe light light it up briefly before going dark. Unfortunately she was declare blind. horrible situation
The momentary blindness reminds me of a peculiar type of headache that my cousin does, I think it's called headache with aura in English? She goes blind when she has an attack and finishes in a couple of minutes but can continue up to an hour, it's so scary because she had the first attack while she was driving and had her little niece with her I can't imagine the panic she felt that day, how she managed to brake, go on the side of the road and call herself an ambulance without causing an accident I have no idea D: but I'm glad she's ok now
Migraine with aura! I get those. It’s less darkness and more like… a field of distortion in the vision? Like your eye’s natural blind spot just expands and you can see through it, just not comprehend or see clearly anything through that part of your vision.
idk if family guy used to be better and got worse or my tastes changed but it's just not funny at all anymore to me and it's kind of depressing and frustrating
Nah. There comes a point where you remembered how it seems like more kids/preteens seem to watch the show and the older you get, the more obvious it becomes why. Family Guy is funnier for just about everyone other than the target audience.
I actually kind of have something like this, sometime my vision will just just fade away. About 30 second later it fades back in, it's really weird and a little terrifying
I agree with the person above me. Please talk to a doctor about it. Maybe it's your blood pressure that drops regularly giving you tunnel sight, which would be bad enough, but maybe it's something neurological or worse. I don't want to scare you. Maybe it's nothing. However, better be safe than sorry!
When I have a seizure, it usually manifests as a minute or two of not being able to understand speech. It's a nuisance to explain to people that I wasn't just ignoring them, or that talking louder won't make me comprehend it.
You probably already know this, but it sounds like you’re getting hit right in the Wernicke’s area. I just like pointing out relevant brain parts because it’s interesting to me.
I have a brain disorder and I have briefly lost my vision on one occasion when I went to the ER to get emergency treatment. Honest to god, this is how all of us brain-disorder-people act when we loose our vision 😅
I get that from a meta context they needed to do something to indicate that she went blind, but this is an example of Family Guy not being able to write situational absurdist comedy in a way that's actually funny, and hoping the audience's sense of humour is just too broken to care. The absurdist comedy here should come from this just happening casually. It makes no sense to have the character say that this is a condition she has, which is set-up or a "she's gonna casually go blind & no one's gonna bring it up" gag, then have her freak out about it and yell that she's gone blind. The gag just doesn't flow and it doesn't feel funny (most people inherently know when jokes don't flow, even if they don't get why). Family Guy has a really bad problem with taking jokes and seemingly going out of their way to write them in the most unfunny way they can. Like, this should be a funny gag about an condition that makes a casual conversation absurd, but just isn't because it's done in such an anti-funny way. It's like someone purposefully went out of their way to storyboard the most unfunny execution of this joke possible. Which is the vibe you get from basically most modern Family Guy jokes.
