As a lesbian who loves to talk about horoscopes as if they're real and also has intrusive thoughts about kicking babies out of prams, this honestly Speaks to me. Edit: @ ppl getting upset about the kicking babies thing, of course i don't actually want to kick babies, google intrusive thoughts lmao
if you see a homophobe that says gay marriages destroy the concept of marriage just show them pictures of themed straight marriages like a great example would be a Minions themed wedding
That's not technically sound reasoning. All gay marriage can destroy the concept of marriage but there can be some aspects of heterosexual marriage that destroy it too....let's face it those pricks that are against gay marriage are probably against minion marriages too
Intrusive thoughts are so hard to explain to people without coming off like a legit psycho. I honestly struggle to dry sharp knives with family in the same room.
Just to say it. Some researchers think that you get those thoughts because you as a human have no way to express the feeling that something is cute or that you love it so much that you can’t even explain. So your instincts are to just kill the thing so it stops being so cute and endearing. Crazy shit right?
This is not the case with this one, it's a simple intrusive thought. I've heard a similar thing though, when you get the desire to really squish a baby very hard, but you'd never actually do that or you think "this is so cute, I'm gonna punch a wall" - the theory I've heard was less dark though: when you get aggression caused by too much cuteness, it is because you have an inherent desire to protect the cutey. The aggressiveness gets you ready to fight off any harm that could come towards the baby, because you are its mighty protector.
Thank you for talking about intrusive thoughts!! It used to make me feel so sad and I thought I was crazy. Now I know it’s normal for someone with anxiety, but I would have loved to see this when I was younger. Thank you so much Fern!
Oh god intrusive thoughts. I've had a thought of just pushing people in front of cars, kicking old ladies is the back of heel so they trip... And I'm a really loving, sensitive pansy of a human! Why doesn't my brain tell me to be wicked to good people. Furthermore, this was really funny.
Goth Mummi because you're nice, so your brain just wanders sometimes and thinks about horrible things, I think it's pretty normal, at least more normal than you think
aliendisco 3779 I think it is, I just worry cos I wonder if I'm really a horrible person who's tricking myself into being nice.... I wonder if I'm over thinking it slightly Lol x
When my mum twisted her ankle and I took her to hospital and had to be in a wheelchair all I could think about was pushing down a hill and onto a road.
I get those intrusive thoughts too. For some reason whenever I see a toddler running, sort of 2-4 year olds when there head is still proportionally large, I always have this urge to punt their wee heads like a rugby ball and watch them go flying.
I always get intrusive thoughts when I drive. "What if you just veered into the next lane, crashed into that car, caused a massive pile up and killed multiple people. Lol."
I used to dance with fern years ago and she was a right laugh was surprised she went into comedy because if we didn't laugh we would cry (which a lot of strippers done. Especially the ones with plastic surgery) so glad she's done well ❤️ well done fern ❤️
delivery is everything and her voice helps...nothing of what she says is groundbreakingly funny but just something about how she sounds makes it funny.
my most common intrusive thought is to open car doors while its moving. i did have one recently where my brain went ‘what if you yelled bogies right now, here in this assembly hall while your headteacher is talking?’
like that comment says im literally gonna start thinking my intrusive thoughts in her voice is my new coping mechanism sucks that it wouldnt help her out much
I had made a d&d character and I needed a good accent for her and this lady is what my character's accent is based off of and I absolutely still love it!
The intrusive thoughts thing happens to me to it's at its worst when the speak now or forever hold your peace line is said, and I I'm willing myself not to say anything for ten seconds
I love it when u could have murderous thoughts about somebody and they still love u even though they know what's happening in ur brain, also thank you I'm now thinking of my writing as I write it in ur accent.
I can't decide what I like most about her. Great accent. Dark humor. Scathing honesty. I love that she is so very attractive and yet wears the least attractive pants possible so her hotness doesn't distract from her humor. She is brilliant.
Fern mentioning intrusive thoughts is brilliant. It normalises something shite that some people suffer from. I don't think there's anyone who isnae burst. Cheers Fern.
Is that what it's called? Intrusive Thoughts? That explain the odd thoughts about putting my hand into the fires all the time, it's always been bugging me.
Oh my god the thumbs in the eyeballs, I thought I was the only one! Too bad I'm not straight though... Had me laughing my guts out, and I love her accent.
Sometimes i walk over a sewer gutter and get the feeling i'm going to drop my phone and my brain works out the exact angle i'd have to throw my phone into the gutter to never see it again
I feel the need to defend my country here, the majority of Australians supported gay marriage, they just put the nutters on the telly, it would be like saying all British people are like Piers Morgan or share the views of Nigel Firage which would be unfair wouldn't it?
I'm grinning right now because I don't know if you really didn't understand her (which is completely plausible) or if you just wanted a bunch of people typing out 'I really want to try gay sex' XD Either way, a like for you XD
Fern's the best comedian of the 21st C! Fkn hilarious. Edit: Russell Howard was in the recommendations below this video... Lmfao... Russell Howard!! Not even close, sorry Russ.
Favuorite intrusive thought: What if I just disappeared from society and my family for like five years then randomly showed up again, scaring the crap out of my family and saying I just went to get milk and got distracted. I think it would be funny as hell but they'd never forgive me.
Anybody else feel a sense of relief in knowing that your parents had thought about pushing your cot in front of a passing train when you were a baby? When my mother told me this as a teenager, I felt so good knowing that those annoying intrusive thoughts of me stabbing up my entire family weren't unique and that I needn't have felt guilty. Not that I've put those thoughts into action. My father once told me that he put himself into a bad mood when he thought about screwing my head off and kicking it around like a football after I damaged an expensive painting he owned. Better to have these things out in the open!
@@jietroraximoff2805 They are probably all women trying to support each other. But that is all good. Each to their own :) Hopefully you found it entertaining.
I have one regular intrusive thought. Whenever I get into a car my brain envisions me not pulling my second leg into the car fast enough, and shutting the door on it, either crushing or severing it. Every. Time. I get. In a car.
Please for the non-native English speakers who aren't used to accents, could someone set subtitles up? Fern seems really funny but I'm struggling to understand the jokes and I'm probably not the only one...
