r/HolUp - Insane Family Drama 

I miss when click would smell us individually

Fun fact: The emotional support mini plush actually has a consciousness and becomes alive every time you fall asleep and fights your bad demons

Lottery winners should have the right to stay anonymous because people are sociopaths. She should have been able to cash out and quit quietly without telling anyone why.

The Mr. Yuan story: he actually had about 50 gfs, regularly borrowed money from almost all of them, 17 was only the number that’d shown up in the hospital.

Thank you, Click. We need to un normalise family conversations in school. When I was 12, we had a project that assumed that everyone had a mum and a dad. My dad died when I was 7 and that project was traumatic

Fun animal fact: Sometimes male pandas will do a handstand before they pee in order to leave their mark higher up on a tree. The point is to get their scent to cover a larger area.

I had a classmate who was taken from his mother because she abused him. The teacher didn't care, we had to write about how much we love our mothers. it went horrible. the Aunt of the boy slapped the teacher so hard, that she lost her dentures and they never found them (i think somebody picked them up and threw them away or so.)

Fun fact: in the original fairytale, Snow White is *7* when the Queen finds out she's the fairest of them all. Disney actually more than doubled her age while also making her prince much younger just to make the whole thing less creepy.

Back in high school (this was only a couple of years ago, I graduated somewhat recently), there was this one English teacher I had whose whole lesson plan for that year was centered around "families" and was literally impossible to deal with/answer correctly if you had anything other than a stereotypical family dynamic, it was insane, and people kept treating me like I was the crazy one for not being comfortable with it

Yeah, family assignments in school can be...weird. A classmate in middle school was sent to the office for "refusing" to do an assignment. He tried to explain that he didn't know what his father looked like because he'd never met him a bunch of different ways. After a particularly mean reply from the teacher telling him to just ask his mom, he shouted "I CAN'T!!! SHE DOESN'T KNOW EITHER!!!!!". Yeah, I didn't make the connection about what that probably meant till adulthood, my kid brain just assumed she was blind or something. Like she could be blind, but a different answer is way more likely. That classmate was transferred from our class. No one should end up in that situation.

19:59 i have a bracelet that says "femboy." bear in mind, my friends made that for me BEFORE i started cross dressing.

Ah, so I'm not the only one who raises an eyebrow whenever there is a scene of someone crawling through the vents, and it's pristine, and clean.

this is the hill i will die on: cinderella _wasn’t hoping to get rescued._ that’s why she didn’t tell the prince her name.

fun fact: twins can be conceived at different dates. usually it's a matter of days but there was a case of 3 week difference between conception of the twins and another with several months difference. it's called superfetation and it's extremely rare but happens.

As someone who works with antique swords and daggers on occasion (I work at an auction house), the sound of a sword hissing out of a sheathe comes from a sort of locking mechanism in the opening of the sheathe. Sometimes you really have to push them in towards the hilt and they click in place. It's probably there to stop the blade from falling out. It's not a thing on all of them, but they do make that sound if you draw them fast

I have a great story about the asking about family in school. I have two moms, so I grew up having to explain to everyone, both kids and adults, how I existed (cause I’m a donor child). So in 2nd grade, on Father’s Day, we had a substitute teacher, and she said we would draw our dads. I obviously couldn’t do that, but I was tired of explaining it, so I apparently drew a random man with a beard (this is according to my mom, I don’t remember this)

As a parent, I can say with certainty that you can be impressed and disappointed over the same thing.

The thing is Simba genuinely thought it was his fault Mufasa died. I think it’s safe to assume he didn’t see scar throwing him off, only saw him fall. Like, he’s shocked when Scar tells him he was the one who killed Mufasa, he genuinely didn’t know.

I hate it when some men are like « why do girls hate men I don’t understand », then go on to make jokes about how every men’s search history is super gross and awful lmao. Anyway, I stumbled on your channel today and I’m doing a marathon, I absolutely love your videos💕💕

12:30 He didn't know Scar killed Mufasa though. From his perspective he was practicing roaring when suddenly it worked but had the side effect of scaring the wildabeast and requiring his dad to rescue him, which is what killed him. That's why he had to run away and never return.

‘Totally Spies’ is the epitome of the phrase “the writers’ barely disguised fetish”. It gets way more suspect when you rewatch the show.

This story will appear to be very random at first but bear with me: I'm a pregnant lady. Recently, an OBGYN tried to use a speculum to look inside of my vagina, and it wasn't the right size. This is how I learned that they are actually different size of speculums, and when I said "... They are different sizes of these?! Huh, that makes sense when you think about it, I didn't know that!" she explained to me that yes, they were different sizes, because some women are naturally smaller, bigger, have had children or (this is the part related to the video) that some pregnant women that come for a check up are even virgins, physically speaking, because they're lesbians who have been artificially inseminated with a device that's far smaller than a penis. So, depending on your definition of virginity, IT IS possible to be a mom who's a virgin. For example: if you're asexual and have been artificially inseminated. The more you know!

I don't know what makes me more mad, that she didn't say 18 or that she thinks twins take twice as long to bake. It just hurt, it hurt in every way one can hurt my brain. ☠

You know, the whole concept of family therapy where everyone is high is partially why MDMA exists. It was intended to be used in couples' therapy to help them feel more comfortable talking about their feelings with each other.

Fun fact, if you have twins your pregnancy will on average be shorter than birthing a single child! Twins are born prematurely more frequently than non-twins.

I'm glad Click agrees that you shouldn't ask questions about family in school for tests or assignments. I used to go to a private Catholic school and once had an a question on an assignment marked wrong because I TOLD THE TRUTH. I was asked on a test in bible study to say who my godparent was and how they fulfilled their role for me growing up. I stated that I did not have one and got my answer marked wrong. I vividly remember the teacher getting mad because I was somehow supposed to assume without being told (at only 8 years old) that I was expected to lie so that I could show that I understood the question. I pointed out that lying was a sin and I would not have assumed my teacher wanted me to sin on a religion class assignment. She was fuming mad. 😂

3:37 when i was in middle school we were learning about genetics, and so our teacher gave us an assignment to go home and compare our traits to our parents and see what we got from who, and so i awkwardly had to raise my hand and ask "what if youre not biologically related to your parents" the teacher did not expect someone to be adopted i guess.

Fun fact! At 9:37 every single one of those deaths are real. The rules of Osha are written in blood.

A cute story about family (names changed for privacy): My older sister and I used to have a great aunt called Greta. She was never called anything but Greta. Not aunt Greta or aunty or anything. Once, when my sister was around 4, she and my mom were talking about how grandma was actually called Mabel, and great grandma was called Julie and so on. Suddenly my sister asked: "Then what's Greta called?" 😂

"fun" story about school questions about family: At the start of every year we had to do a presentation about our summer vacation and I've never ever been able to get a passing grade for this. Why you ask? Well because we were pretty poor and couldn't really afford to do anything special. So I had to start every year with a presentation that went like "I spent my vacation at home. we played a lot of board games. that's it". Afterwards a lot of teachers asked questions like "Didn't you go to another country?" no. "Surely you atleast went to a theme park or something?" no sir. "There has to be one special thing you did." yes, the board games. A couple of teachers even accused me of lying because "Everyone does atleast one special thing during vacation time" So yeah, I had to start every year with telling my class I was poor. Fun

As someone who owns a katana, when you sheath or unsheath it, sometimes it makes a scraping sound, however it does not make a metal scratching noise.

21:55 One of my husband's friends is a tough guy type and would never admit to being into hentai, but Steam lets us know. Steam always lets us know, Jeff.

Fun Fact: The "giant cucumber" in that photo is actually an under ripe watermelon. That's what watermelons look like on the inside when you pick them before they're fully ripened. The flesh gradually turns redder starting from the center and moving outwards. If you look at the size of the gourd as the father is carrying it, it's somewhat small compared to a store bought watermelon, because it was not allowed to mature. It can be quite hard to tell when exactly a watermelon is ripe if you've never grown them before, and this process can take a long time, so you need to have enough weeks in your growing season. A watermelon is ripe when it develops a yellow patch on its underside, and the nearby tendrils on the vine start to wilt. Watermelons and cucumbers are both part of the Cucurbitaceae family though, and the rind of a watermelon is edible and can be used the same exact way as cucumbers. You can make pickles out of them, which are pretty good.

I totally agree about not asking kids questions about their family in school. I remember in math class when I was in elementary school they asked us to find out what our parents made as a salary to do some sort of math problem and I believe I was one of the only kids whose parent wouldn't say what they made and the teacher acted like it was a problem. Why do they need to ask such personal things about families? I got like... made to feel bad that my dad didn't want to say what his salary was... As a CHILD

10:50 Wanna know the best part about this story? SHE WON ALL OF THE LAWSUITS. INCLUDING THE ONE DONE BY THE IRS. This woman is just built different. If you want to hear the full context of the story, I highly reccomend checking our Qxir's video covering it.

3:50 just last week my teacher asked us on canvas (which is what we use to submit assignments) to post any medical conditions that are genetic after asking your parents. The problem is I’m the only person in the class adopted and my birth parents never kept in contact with me. So I put on the assignment “I can’t really do this because I’m adopted. So any information I get is kinda useless.” If I remember right she just didn’t grade me for it and didn’t mark it as wrong.

I hated writing essays about “fun i had over the summer vacation “ or “fun times/why i love (this family member “ In my family everyone was either neglectful or abusive. Summer vacation was hell and survival. School was the only place I felt somewhat safe. I was not allowed a pet. I did not have a best friend in elementary school. The only fun thing I got to do was play ball, read a book and go to school, maaaybe sometimes watch cartoons or films and shows that we’re definitely not age appropriate I was ashamed so I’d make stuff up and get the highest grade for my made up stories. Thanks Click for sticking up for all the kids ❤

I agree on family questions. As I got older, I always made a mothers day card with the class. But mine was for my grandmother. I remember a teacher getting mad and saying I was supposed to make it for my mom. Which then had to explain my mother abandoned us. I have single dad. Got out of trouble thankfully.

7:58 I don't know where that poster is from, but here in the US, that'd definitely be illegal. It's illegal for people under eighteen to send nudes, even to other people under eighteen.

On the family questions in school stuff, a similar thing kind of happened and is the reason my middle school bio class no longer does a blood typing lesson. Multiple students found out their parents weren't their bio parents (sometimes adoption that the parents never said anything about, but a few times cuz somebody cheated). My high school forensics course does still have a blood typing assignment, but that class is an elective and you can skip that assignment and do something else.

2:36 My cousin had artificial insemination to have a child. She's asexual so we like saying it was a "virgin birth" just to make people's brains stall out.😂😂

My 14 year old daughter and I were having a conversation today and Click came up for whatever reason…and she asked me if Emotional Support Demon was still available. I told her no, and she was so bummed. She then asked if the keychain version was available and I told her I wasn’t sure. She said she really wants at least the keychain if she can’t get the original. What she doesn’t know was that I already ordered her one the very instant they were released. 😂 Can’t wait to get it and surprise her with it.

31:48 "Not every story has a good ending" This can be a moral

Powerlifters are so much more appealing than bodybuilders. This explains why some of my larger exes couldn't lift me but a scrawny dude could.

Thank you Click for being our older brother that we wish we had

That's why most places aren't allowed to publicly release the names of loto winners without consent.

I remember having to turn in a family tree assessment. I have a lot of divorce and ab-se in my families past and a lot of direct family members who have been cut off and as an 8yo I had no idea how to write it in.

7:23 "Bring back led paint." Yep, don't paint your house, just cover it in LEDs.

I don't know why parents get all uptight then their teens say weird stuff when medically drugged. I would've have been laughing my ass off.😂

As someone who grew up with the older, more brutal versions of these disney stories the "barely disguised fetish" thought is even worse. (take cinderella: her stepsisters literally cut their own feet to the size of the shoe)

22:09 HW isn't actually a tree from what I could find, but she does have leaves and branches on her head, so it's close enough

26:00 powerlifters don't have those visible abs and muscles. They're more like hippos and bears

Fun fact: An AI anime girl streamer already exist. She is called Neuro-sama created by Vedel987 and it is some of the most unhinged I have watched in recent years. They also already have a plushie from makeship.

Being transmasc and afab is so fun because I read "the entire male gender terrified because google tracks incognito mode" type memes and thinking "well, not only the male gender because I-" then letting my brain buffer a bit and remember that I'm included in that 😂😂😂😂

35:30 also just toss some sugar on the cucumber when you slice it and bam, tastes exactly like watermelon (this might be for zuccini actually, idr, I just know bc watermelon is basically just crunchy sugary water, so if you have crunchy water and just add sugar there you go)

i always hated when family questions popped up in school. especially during biology classes. "which parent did you get your eye color from!" no clue. im adopted

One time a drama teacher of mine asked us to write a monologue of something we would say to someone that we couldn't. Otherwise. I, like most people, wrote something very personal. Then I had to perform it. Not fun.

17:31 When a wild puma (or what the heck that kitty is) is easier to get into a bath than most of the so called "tame housecats", you know it's a keeper!

imagine the guy who dated 17 people at once becoming just a gigantic polycule

i genuinely chuckled when he said "gen z is like : BOX"

Okay but I’m genuinely rooting for the click to just fully start a plushy company, that’d be everything!

3:50 Same, we started studying Holocaust literature in 7th grade and it was so upsetting to me that I honestly zoned out for a lot of it. Then a test got passed out to see if we had been paying attention, and there was an essay question asking to write what conditions were like in the camps or something really intense for 12-year-olds to be describing in detail. I just wrote, "I can't do this. It's too painful," which should have been the teacher's queue that MAYBE this subject was a little too much for this class, but instead they just took point off and made a note that this wasn't an acceptable way to answer an essay question. I always felt conflicted because, you know, was I just making excuses? Was I being lazy? Was I being a big baby? Was I using the pain of other people as a clever way to weasel out of taking a 7th grade test? Several years later, I found out that my great-great grandmother was a Russian Jew who fled the pogroms, so maybe that's why studying Holocaust material has always made me feel like my body is full of angry bees. :/

35:53 Ah yes the best gun it uses the power of cuteness! Not to kill you with said cuteness but instead to deceive you with it since it’s actually a melee weapon that is used like a knife.

11:14 as he talks about gambling and how bad it can be just made me think of the fact that one of the very first things I did after I turned 18 was play a gambling dart game... lost over $600 just to lose with 3 point left to win..... Yeah I learned that gambling is not my thing.... lol

OH. MY. GOD. that filthy apartment actually made my skin crawl. And I also laughed at what looked like a pump bottle of lube in front of the TV... like the only thing that wasn't dusty. LOL

My old Anatomy teacher decided to pitch a fit over the fact "Kids in [our] generation don't want kids!" for some reason. Then when I brought up an argument of how some people don't think they can raise them, went "Didn't your mom raise you properly??" "My mom didn't raise me" "Well didn't your dad raise you properly??" "Considering he's in prison right now, he's not a role model." "Well how was I supposed to know that??" "... It's in my file, that's flagged on your PC? The gold apple looking icon next to my name" Everyone felt awkward after that one, she never apologized, but hey. Last year of high school and I was moving states that summer anyways. That said, she also never decided to go into awkward pointless targeted tangents during that specific class after that so, win? I guess?

17:46 it's not unlikely that the puma in the photo is "Messi the puma". It's a wholesome youtube channel about a couple living with a puma with health issues and only 1/3rd of a typical male puma's size that they rescued from a petting zoo.

0:56 That girl is my cousin

I remember having to do family trees in elementary and again in high school for Spanish and a genetic punnet square for biology in middle school…. It was always awkward for me as a child of a single parent 🙃

I suspect that the Ugandan authorities arrested those two men first specifically because they actually did something bad. They can then use those first arrests and convictions to paint all those arrested for "aggravated homosexuality" with the same brush. But yeah, those guys probably deserve to be arrested and imprisoned.

I hate family questions in school too tbh. When I was like seven we had a ‘make a family tree’ assignment and we had to ask about aunts and uncles and my poor mother had to explain that her brother killed himself

9:03 The news-videos on that tank being recovered are the best part. The reporters went all over the neighborhood to get shocked reactions, and failed because EVERYONE KNEW THAT THE TANK WAS THERE. (Also the fine is that big because he also had other guns)

3:35 Holy crap! This just opened a floodgate of school memories where 99.99% of the questions involving hypothetical family was a father, mother, 1 son, and 1 daughter. Was that on purpose?!?!

27:10 it's kind of adorable how they think women wouldn't also have basically the same expression

*Realization* stutters. "SWEET AND STICKY"

16:08 - Funny enough that's not really a conspiracy, it's just a marketing tactic. Like, when Finding Nemo was conceptualized, the Disney Channel started making fish related shorts for their commercial blocks, to get kids hyped about fish, well before the movie was made public. It wouldn't surprise me at all if that tactic is more common than we think, though I don't know if Totally Spies in particular had any kind of agenda.

I mean, the one upside to family conversations in school is you can make the teachers regret asking! One of my college professors picked me to answer a question about my mom, when she had died about a month before... They never picked me for questions again. I'm glad I can find it funny in hindsight.

The metallic schwing sound you get with swords in films is because they put a metal ring on the scabbard to make the sound in old films so now the sound effects department add it as standard. In reality if you're making that sound drawing your sword... You're grinding the edge off your blade and it's going to be blunt fast

09:43 actually where i live a boy died like this. He went to his dad's workplace, his dad was the forklift driver and was carrying some marble or granite like stuff. They started to slide down and the boy thought he could hold them somehow. Heendedup being crushed under the weight of those and died. It was honestly heartbreaking seeing how fast the father got out and tried lifting the marbles

Ahh the things slugs go through for us. They tell by training the slug to have some strong reaction to a specific event. So say they give it an electric shock every time they offer it X food until it starts avoiding X food to not get shocked. Then when they do the memory erasing thing, they try to get the memory for the whole "being shocked" thing. If the snail suddenly stops avoiding X food, than they have removed the memory.

I really hate that meme about Cinderella because it shows that people didn't see it. In this movie the Duke is going all over the entire country (not Prince he is the royalty duh) and his job is basically to bring all the girls that can fit the shoe. And Prince then WILL recognize Cindirella because he remembers her goddamn face. Still good vid as always Click. Keep it up.

So, the sword "shing" sound is from the metal sheath used in fencing and with rapiers and other thrusting oriented swords, though they were still uncommon - you didn't need to worry about dulling the cutting edge, so you didn't need to line a metal sheath with wood, or construct the sheath entirely out of wood. This came with the added benefit of being able to use the sheath as a weapon too.

8:56 - This happened in Germany, and it was pretty well known in his area he had the thing. In fact, the local barracks helped him service the motor (yes, he drove it around the area) at times. He had bought it from someone England in a trashy state and restored it. He was sentenced to 14 months in prison, and 250000 Euros. The tank ended up being less of a problem, but the 8,8 cm Flak gun was serious (considered a weapon of war, so illegal to own by civilians). He also was required by the judge to sell the tank and flak gun within two years. Oh, and you should see the pictures of the tank being pulled out of the cellar. It makes you wonder how he got it in there. You can technically own a tank as a civilian, given that it is demilitarised (can't shoot) and you get the appropriate licenses. The guy also owned a torpedo, a mortar, various machine- and stormguns, half- and full automatic pistols and more than 1000 shots ammunition.

Depression is more than a deep rest. Its the first aspect of spiritual awakening. In alchemy, the first operation is always fire. You break down the personality into pieces and destroy it making sure to save the good pieces. You then dissolve and separate those pieces in their most essential forms, and then reconjoin them in your new self. This, for a long time was called "Dark Night Of The Soul" and the practice for getting through it was called "Heiros Gamos" or Sacred Marriage

For the family convos, since i was 6 and it was always awkward people saying "tell your mom and dad!" "Have your mom or dad come!" And it's not my mom or dad. It also made stuff relating to college so hard, trying to fill out fafsa without being under your parents is annoying. Same with scholarships

The Mulan one was not a good example because she nearly got executed the second they found out she's not a man, that's because at the era where that story takes place it was bad luck and illegal to have a woman soldier so from their perspective she's literally sabotaging their chance of winning by angering the spirits. Edit: C'mon guys, if you're gonna make an argument against me at least make it make sense or worthwhile, please? Don't say "It's a fictional movie so there's no reason to care about the laws/beliefs" because the entire reason Hugo the dragon is there is because he's supposed to keep her identity a secret BECAUSE they would kill her, they straight up were about to kill her right after she seemingly ended the war and killed Kan (as far as they could tell). And don't say "You just don't understand jokes/parody" because a parody or joke trying to laugh at the absurdity of something can only be funny if the joke actually makes sense in the given context, saying "They won't care she's a girl because the dragon is a bigger deal" is not a good argument when they literally established at the start that they will kill her on the spot if she got caught and when she did she was actually about to be killed, and its something that took inspiration from REAL LIFE. Make good arguments... Please, it's getting annoying...

33:50 as someone who has a sword, it actually kinda makes that sound even with just a leather sheathe, but it is less loud.

25:02 World's weakest janitor.

Click really doesn't get the recognition he deserves for consistently putting out 30-40 minute videos, especially since he actually put's in the effort to make jokes instead of just reading the posts verbatim.

I'm a teacher, and I never thought about the family thing you brought up. Thanks.

19:16 An animal cannot gove consent in either situation... However, eating human meat could be seen as vegan, there was a gentleman(and his friends) who at his own foot in tacos; That was technically vegan, but not vegetarian!

Speaking of how schools would ask questions about family, my school asked us to draw our family and at the time four generations of my family lived on the same road so I drew me, my parents, my grandparents, and my great grandma. But when I was naming everyone I called my step-grandmother "My" because that's what I called her. It's a long story but it was basically my version of "Nana" or "Nanny". But my teacher said I was wrong and made me change it to "grandma" despite the fact that I never once called her that.

This reminds me of that kid who had to draw their parent's job. It was his mom standing in front of a pole with people handing her money.😂 Apparently, she sold snow shovels, and they were almost completely sold out due to heavy snowfall😂

I hated being asked about family questions at school....I lived with my dad, my mum and sisters lived in separate towns....its been 15yrs since I was at school, I cannot believe standards haven't changed...my son lives with my dad (his grandfather) and it is extremely upsetting that the school asks about mother/father/normal family dynamics

Yeah family related questions in school just are sketchy. They should be evaded. They can easily cause kids to feel weird, alienated, awkward or bad in many ways. Also about the vtubers. I do agree, I suspect they will explode with AI I myself don't like them at all though. I either want to see a real person or just no person at all. Plus livestreams, i never manage to watch them anyway and I don't miss them either honestly

I hated questions in school about family trees. By 7 yrs old my dad was dead and my mom abandoned us so those school projects were always awkward. I got a lot of pity from the teachers and it was so f*cking annoying.

29:19 a cultured man with in-depth knowledge of Pokémon 😗👌🏻

2:57 my roommate actually adopted a kid before he ever did anything! It was super wholesome too. He loves his daughter

4:45 Click, I had to study publishing/media science for Uni. One of the factors that makes a message likely to be published is "negativity". So "they're 'bout to execute two people for being gay" is a GREAT headline for a publisher.

About the ghost one: there's actually a movie of a family that lives in a haunted house, but it turns out that they are the ghosts
