Might check this out since you said that the chefs are local to one's area. Can you please confirm? I live in an urban, HCOL area on the West Coast, and it would be great to support local folks.
STORY 2: As a Thai. There is no such name as Moaj. The name “Muay” is what OP was trying to say - which means a girl with like East asian features - it’s a term of endearment(a lot of Thais has chinese background and grandparents call their little ones Muay sometimes). It’s pronounced different from the “Muay” in “Muay Thai”, it’s impossible to write the tone down in English. BUT what OP was calling her was “MOY” which meant public hair. The tone in Muay is really hard to pronounce for foreigners and it’s a really common mistake, we know what you mean that’s why we don’t correct you! Don’t feel bad they prob had a great laugh every time!!!
Reminds me of a somewhat similar problem some foreigners have with Portuguese. We have a lot of words with the sound ão, which is a more nasal sounds, which english speakers in particular end up pronouncing as au, instead. It's all well and good until you get to the word pão, which is bread; due to this mispronounce they end up saying pau, which is a piece of wood but also a word for dick. We usually understand quite well what the person means, but it's so hilarious we don't feel the need to correct it because why would we ruin the fun?
You know an art teacher is a bad art teacher when, instead on motivating you to elaborate on your point about the 'colorful personality' joke, they instead ask you to leave. That was such a good oportunity to, instead of shunning you, help you take a deeper look at interpretation. Honestly, even if it was a joke, I think that could have been an interesting starting point to a conversation about the varied interpretations of art. Edit: Oh yeah bois and gals and non-binary palls, this one is doing the numbers.
I dabble in art, and I think Dabney actually had a legitimate observation there. Picking out the subject as emotional or excitable due to the color palette is valid.
That's literally one of the ways I'd convey that in my character design. Add colours to show colourful personality. That teacher should've taken his question seriously.
A lot of teachers in that field are ironically VERY uncreative and focused on their interpretation on what they think. I remember during art class that one of my classmates had a different interpretation of a painting then what the teacher thought and instead of asking them to elaborate, she instead said that they were wrong and that was the end of that. Sure it was because the artist in question was born in the wrong time period for my classmates interpretation to work. But they didn't know that and the teacher should've still asked them to elaborate even if she knew it was impossible.
@@DarcOne13 Agreed. I also dabble in art, and have taken a few classes (community centres, but still good teachers) and yeah, colour palette is really important in conveying the feel of not just the painting as a whole, but also people within it. E.g. sometimes the painting will have a bright, sunny palette, but a particular character is painting in dark tones to indicate that person is in mourning, is evil, resents someone in the image, etc. As Moonstar30 noted, if nothing else, that was an opportunity for the teacher to open the discussions rather than just boot the student (Dabney) from the class.
My art teacher was like this too. She didn't care about other people's interpretation, she wants you to see what SHE SAW. And any other options were wrong. Pretty shitty teacher tbh
As a fine arts major, I’d like to defend rSlash’s nipple question. The depiction and sexualization of women’s bodies in art is an eternal and persistent question in the arts. Anyone who has studied the arts has heard the term “the male gaze.” It’s a compulsory element of art education. The sexualization of women in clearly non-sexual settings is particularly relevant to the topic. So not only was the question/joke appropriate, it was a relevant and insightful way to move the discussion forward. You get 0 out of 5 bad guys rSlash
I remember in an Art History class about the symbolism of musical instruments in Renaissance paintings. The instructor said that he t indicated sexual love.
Just off the top my head in the painting described by Dabney it was probaly due to the time/place it was painted, bare breasts maybe nudity in general was a no-no, and the artist wanted to sybolicly show the motherly tendancies (breast feeding), so nipples. they probaly would have wanted to paint the baby nude as well.
@@stevenscott2718 Yeah I would have connected it with breastfeeding also. Here's this woman finding an infant. Infants need to eat. Breasts are made to feed infants (no really everybody that's what they're for). So there's a natural connection.
In my head just hearing the story I was thinking that maybe the reason her nipples are hard is because it's very cold out which makes it even more shocking for there to be a baby in the woods
I got in trouble in 5th grade art class for asking why a man was swimming naked in a painting. The teacher was offended that I used the word "naked". Looking back as an adult all he needed to say was "they didn't have bathing suits"
Reminds me of how when I was in fourth grade, we were watching a documentary about Native Americans, and someone was mentioned to have gotten... violated. The teacher asked what happened to the woman, I raised my hand and answered, not really knowing what that was but saying it. She didn't like that I said the woman was r@ped. Like, come on! That was what the documentary said, and you asked that question. It's kind of on you. Then again, I kind of question why we watched documentaries with such heavy subject matter in elementary school.
I don't understand how you can get offended on word "naked". When I was in school here in eastern europe we were using word naked normally and nobody had problem.
@@erinfinn2273 And the thing with that is they're either one or the other. No in between. My 8th grade art teacher was kinda scary and easily offended. My college art professor is easily the sweetest person I've ever met in my entire 23 years of living.
The nurse radio story makes me think it's one of three possibilities: 1) the nurse had a history of unprofessional actions like that and OP's comments were the last straw 2) the company was looking for a reason to downsize/fire someone and it took the opportunity. 3) the boss is either on a power trip or has personal beef with that nurse and took the opportunity to fire them.
Story 3: Sometimes, humor just comes at the wrong place and wrong time, or with the wrong audience. It ends in embarrassment even though you felt that the joke was too good to pass up.
Just imagine, the conversation between the FBI agent and the other agents. Agent 1: Yeah, I was asked to investigate fraud in a company. Agent 2: I was asked to investigate a homicide case. That FBI agent: I was asked to investigate DEEZ NUTS! Everyone: ......
As someone who has a degree in an element of fine arts, the question of WHY the woman's nipples were so prominent in a painting with such a vastly not-sexual, not-celebrating-the-female-body tone is actually a very good question. I was always told to question choices, and to have a reason for my own choices in my art. I would also want to know why the artist did that. And if the professor can't take that question and have an open, adult discussion about it, that's their problem.
Since nipples are so important when it comes to motherhood it’s possible the artist did that intentionally to symbolize how the woman and the baby belonged together.
I’ve never seen this painting but now I’m curious too! Maybe it was to indicate that it was colder than it appeared at first glance? There have been many times I’ve foolishly looked outside thinking it was warmer than it really is and dressed for what I expected the weather to be like. Maybe she dressed for warmer weather, but it was actually colder and her surprised look isn’t just because she found a baby. It’s because she found a baby still alive and abandoned in colder weather for who knows how long. 🤷🏾♂️
@Eevee_Xox that is such a good point! Also, as a mom who breastfed i can also say that when your instinct kicks that your baby is hungry or the baby starts crying, usually your nipples will become hard and milk will start to leak a bit. To me, it always felt like a little electric spike hit my nipples, not painful at all, but you certainly notice, lol. Sorry if that is too much information. Anyways i could imagine that with that choice, the artist was trying to express that motherly insticts are kicking in with the woman. Because it is not just when your baby cries but also when other babies cry. Maybe even express that it doesn't have to be your biological child for both you and your instincts to love and care for the baby. Or even that we can and should care for children, no matter how they come to us, especially if they are in need. Either way, by ignoring that question and not acknowledging that detail, i feel like the teacher missed a very important conversation the painting was supposed to start. No wonder dabne hated art class with that teacher. Dabnes' questions or jokes were actually very valid points.
Dabney, the way you look at paintings is actually interesting and as an art student, I think your observations are valid🤣Had I been your art professor, I'd honestly appreciate your point of view because there is no one way to interpret art. I'd probably even make them points of discussion too--like the colorful man might have actually had a colorful personality, and the woman with her tibbies showing being an allegory to motherhood and whatnot.
As someone who’s always been an art lover and has had to deal with kids in my classes not taking them seriously- those jokes were s tier I would’ve cackled
Right? And there’s no objectively correct way to look at art, at least that’s what we teach people who are learning to appreciate art, and honestly sometimes jokes *can* give you a whole new perspective on a work.
Story 6: I can imagine this being common with deaf people, not being able to hear warnings or something important from someone, and then an incident happens. It must suck
@mv Right. That's what I was thinking. Why wasn't the urinal marked out of order? If the plumber took it away before going and grabbing his tools, then that was his screw up.
The nipples one is a genuine question… I had the same question on multiple drawings, like “why is she showing her nipple if she’s trying to cover her body?”
Yeah there is usually a reason for it, even if the reason is just that the artist was perpetually horny it still factors into the meaning and motivation of the piece. That's a pretty poor art teacher imo
the painting was probably arguable about motherhood or unplanned motherhood but historically, paintings often have women with nipples in them because women in classical Greece didn’t exactly wear bras
First of all, I love the tangents when Dabney just tells stories about himself and is laughing more into the story as he tells it, secondly story 6 that's a power move OP didn't intent to.
as someone who is half Thai, I thoroughly enjoyed the second story. I've made so many mistakes like that when I was first learning the language LOL I knew where it was going as soon as I heard it was taking place in thailand lmaoo
Fast becoming my fav subreddit I think, I like laughing at how awkward and stupid people can be rather than being horrified by how awful we can be! Must be nicer for you to read them too!
WTF lol, this is classic. New potential employer: So, why were you terminated from your last job? OP: Well, I KINDA made a "deez nuts" joke when the FBI phoned us. NPE: .....
Tbh, if he got terminated over that, he should file for wrongful termination. He apparently wasn’t privy at all to this investigation and they just expected him to magically know without telling him?
During a work meeting last summer, my boss was wrapping things up and asked if anyone had anything needing addressed but said it as "what do I need to know about? Anything on fire?" So what pops out of my mouth immediately was "California?" Cue my boss groaning and telling me "No, Rae, just no."
Dude I also had to take an art history class. It was AWFUL. I tried SO hard to get a good grade in that class and my brain just would not retain the information. My professor was so kind to me and bumped my D to a C because he saw I was really trying 🥲 even on my most confident test, he gave it back to me with a fat C- slapped on top. I could tell he didn’t want to give it back to me at all because I was so confident turning it in. 😂 poor guy.
Ugh I remember having to memorize all of those dates and names… I loved Art History and did super well in the class but I would not want to do that part again
@@jt3948 it’s kind of a me problem. I have so much difficulty with flat memorization of a name to a picture or date that I also almost failed social studies when I had to learn where all the states go in 4th grade. Oops
This was one of the better rSlash videos. Dabney, have you considered doing videos where you tell stories about your life? It doesn't have to be a frequent, but like if Reddit is dry one day or you don't feel like doing Reddit, maybe you can talk about more stuff like whatever crazy things you were up to in school.
Dang.. That reminds me of that one time when our teacher wrote a sentence on the board and went "There's a mistake here, what is it" I raised my hand and said There's a comma missing.. She added the comma and went "that wasn't the mistake"
Two things: about your essay being read in front of the class, the joke I thought of was asking the teacher “who wrote that? I’d like to study with them.” As deadpan as possible for full effect. And when you joked about the Harry Potter spells tattoo I literally said, while facepalming “good lord, you’re such a child…and I am HERE for it!” 😂
Yeah, I wouldn't let that go with just that one phone call about that poor urology tech who probably lost her job over that. That manager who called you triumphantly like its "been handled" is psychotic, I would go above her head and do whatever I could to get her fired. Shes nuts, legitimately.
First Story: That is going to be one awkward day thats for damn sure lmao. OP don't have to worry though, everyone has assumed calls like that are a scam because often it is a scam call; just this time it wasn't a scam call lmao Second Story: I have a feeling those same coworkers was having a field day hearing OP call their boss "pubic hairs" for all those three years and I bet they were upset that the truth was finally made clear to OP Third Story: When trying to be funny went wrong lmao. That was a funny joke but OP made that joke in the wrong place, especially since he was the only man in the class Fourth Story' Wow, so they basically fired her over a small complaint that even OP says wasn't a big deal? Wow, either there must've been something else or they were just looking for any reason to fire this lady Fifth Story: That one about OP's dick probably hurt his pride which is understandable. I couldn't imagine finding out that my gf thinks my dick is bigger with glasses on than with contacts. Well I mean OP can still surprise them with his knowledge of the language Sixth Story: I feel for both OP and the plumber. The plumber is upset because someone pissed in the urinal he was working on and OP unintentionally pissed in the urinal that this guy was working on.
The one with the escorts, it hurts because they were the new team, and the teacher was probably graduated, gotta wonder if the girls weren't all considering being escorts and if there was no men the teacher would probably share the contact and techniques.
Honestly I cannot think of Harry Potter spells without laughing after watching Oney's parody of wingardium leviosa 😂😂😂 part 1 and part 2 Ronnnnn stahhhppppp Huh huh huh 😭😂😂
Dabney, it was absolutely wicked to hear some of your own stories. I've religiously listened to your voice day in day out over 3 years, and yes you've told us bits about your family when stories relate to your own experiences, however it was fantastic to hear a whole segment to some of your own amusing steps through life. Great post as usual 👌 👏
Omg, that poor plumber in the last story 😂 😭 I am just imagining the sad look on his face, and I'm both laughing and feel so sad for him hahaha. Poor guy.
Regarding the "prostitution" joke, I don't think OP is necessarily wrong. Their professor did ask them to guess as to why prostitution has decreased over the years within that area and OP gave a solid answer for a small percent of those who did do sex work to make ends meet. Honestly, I would judge OP's classmates more so than him because they gave him a look of disgust rather than thinking outside the box to understand that some people do this type of work, which is valid work, to get through life in hopes to move on to a more "socially acceptable" job. Yes, he made a stupid joke. However, that joke could've opened the floor for discussion concerning the legitimacy of sex work and the ramifications of police action, gentrification, safety etc. No real harm was done except to those who immediately felt offended by what OP said instead of thinking logically about what he actually said.
I completely agree... Escorts do get educated, they make more money with a college degree than without doing sex work. It may have been a joke, but it's a legit answer and actually affects the business unlike police action, for example. (Prostitution will never stop due to laws or police.)
The fact that no one laughed to that joke tells me all I need to know about everyone in that classroom (except op), and that is that we would NOT get along! 💀
Oh, and Dabney, you being so good with constructing your reactions and arguing your points make a helluva lot of sense now that you explained that you are an essayist. Who says being good at essays has no real world benefit?
4th story: oh BOY did that bring back memories! i had that same procedure done too, but i was 7 YEARS OLD. i had something called vesicoureteral reflux (which is basically when urine goes back up into your kidneys and can cause serious issues if not treated), so it was quite serious and probably needed, but let me tell you, no 7 year old should ever have to go through that, it hurts REALLY badly. i feel for this person. also, i should add, the woman doing this procedure did not help at all; when i was screaming in pain and begging them to stop, she kept pointing at the screen and saying “look, those are your kidneys!” WRONG THING TO SAY TO A 7 YEAR OLD IN PAIN
TIFU has got to be my favorite subreddit. Thank you for making another TIFU video. I also enjoy when you share parts of yourself, so this has been one of my favorite RSlash videos in a while, not to say I don't love the rest of your content because I do.
I’d straight up go back to that clinic and demand the Karen who called me. And say “If *anyone* I’ve interacted with should be put on indefinite leave, it’s her.”
Story 3: I'm an asexual aromantic.... that was the FIRST thing that popped into my head. I thought it was funny... 😅ETA: Y'know, your _art teacher_ should've been kicked out of class - I've made art and, yes, I've used lots of colors to convey a colorful personality... more than once.
I'd love to see the last story in a movie. The horror on the plumber's face must have been priceless as he tried to get your attention and saw you start peeing in the urinal he was about to fix.
Story 3: I think it really depends on the mood and the crowd. With my friends, I would have laughed as well. But if the context was a bit somber (ex: if they were just talking about the violence the workers would have suffered from) or the teacher trying to talk about bias and inequality, not the greatest moment
In Brazil public schools we have free meals for the students (more often than not anyway). That said... one day the school principal was scolding our class for some reason or another, and she yells "why do you all even come to school?" (as in to say "if you are not going to pay attention to classes" or something). Then someone yelled back "to eat for free!!" Of course the entire class of 12yos burst into laughter...
2nd story: reminds me of a man learning Japanese and was invited to his Japanese friend'd house to eat. The wife made a delicious pie and the man thanked the wife by saying "O-pai wa oishiidesu!" Which he thought translated to 'the pie is delicious'. He added the 'O' in front of the 'pie' to make the pie more honorific, but that unfortunately only works with japanese words and not loaner words from English like 'pie'. "Oppai" means breasts in Japanese
I love essays too. It's so satisfying to articulate the perfect thought in the mountains of research that goes into one of those. I regret not publishing the paper I did in nursing school, at the beseeching of my profs, on the benefits of physical activity spacifically staving alzhiemers disease. There are multiple studies that span decades and include thousands of people. A fascinating and underrated field of study.
Man this was one of the best episodes ever! I could not stop cracking up at those student stories, rSlash. You get a rock solid 5/5 on the funny scale today!
I think the best joke I ever cracked in class was when we were learning about phylums in biology class. The teacher explained how the name for the Cnidaria phylum (jellyfish, et al) meant "that which burns", so it was an animal that could burn. Without missing a beat, without even raising my hand, I immediately blurted out "oh, like dragons?" Everyone laughed. I felt pretty good about it.
RSlash almost killed me and my dad with the Harry Potter spells joke, by making us choke on the food we were eating... Still one of the best jokes I've ever heard
The “they graduated” joke was so fucking funny 😂 Painting story from you: i went to an art college. Your critique/questions sound exactly like all of my classes 😂
My biggest flex is in middle school, during a short story writing competition for Halloween, my story was the one that scared my entire class. Also, during the same class, I was the only one who wrote with proper tense LMAO I write books online now.
@Bree Stringham A rose that was passed down from a man hating woman, to her daughter, who was raised to believe men were vile and undeserving of life. So she would lure men into relationships with her and then when least expected, she'd give them the rose as a gift, and the rose's thorns would tear the men to shreds and the rose would then suck the fallen blood of the man. And the story is about the one time she did this to a man, who she truly loved, all because the very spirit of her mother forced her to. And she had to watch him bleed out. :)
Good morning Rslash! My Husband and I have been listening for almost 10 years, he's leaving on deployment today and we are listening to you together, thanks for putting out such a funny one on a day that is otherwise pretty heavy! You made us smile!
first story; the way rslash pronounces “deez NUTS” is golden. i hope OP posts an update, i’d love to be a fly on the wall for that conversation third story; that joke was HILARIOUS. was the class just a bunch of moai statues?!
Regardless of how long the relationship lasts, it’ll be useful in the long term if you like traveling. Obviously it’ll be useful when you go to South Africa 🇿🇦 or Namibia 🇳🇦. You and a local also be mutually understandable in most of the Benelux nations since Afrikaans is an derivative of Dutch.
@@abinashmishra329 I'm south african and afrikaans is my first language but the language can confuse me sometimes. But it's nice to someone that knows it's derivitave of dutch, I haven't seen a lot of people that know it
That last story made me feel bad for everyone. I hope the plumber understood the situation and that you were really sorry about it and it wasn't intentional.
That joke was definitely incoming and the fact no one even stifled a laugh and was hiding a smile is what shocks me most. Like, I STILL remember we were in a college Psychology class and sharing jokes and one kid said this one that was both morbidly serious, but honestly funny as all hell too. “An emo and an apple fall from a tree. Which hits the ground first? The apple, the emo never reaches it.” It caught me SO off guard that I remember being stunned, aling with everyone else, for about 5 seconds, then a lot of us were chuckling and stuff. This class was ages 18-40, for reference. And I was actually just about to ENTER a small emo phase the next semester (like 6 months later) which makes me think back and actually laugh more. I’ve actually shared that joke with other people and they have the same reaction. Initial shock, followed by stifled laughs. Even people who’ve struggled with thoughts the joke makes light of find it funny in my experience of sharing it. So yeah- no humor in that class, super lame, I’d be happy to be out of it if someone made a joke and the only reaction was just, disgust, when it’s RIGHT F-ING THERE! Edit: I will say though, there ARE times and places for jokes. All your stories, my own, and the Prostitute joke are fine. I had a “friend” who was the class clown (and actually WORKED as a clown). He would be fine in school. But after we graduated, he nearly ruined my graduation party (a small event with some fam and friends) by busting out Fart Spray near the food, while people were eating. And proceeded to chase my siblings with it. That stuff was rank and people were gagging. We actually began to avoid him after, and when he was working at the local store we live near now, we did our best to avoid when he worked, or move FAST to get away from where he was (a greeter). He is away and we don’t have contact with him.
The story about the essays reminds me if a creative writing project in 10th grade. Topics were decided by dice rolls. I forget what my topics were, but I found them profoundly hard to work with while being SFW. Teacher wouldn't let me reroll, so I ran with it. Of the things in this short story, there was a reference to cannibalism, terrorism, suicide, and orgies. Unbeknownst to me, I'd have to read it out loud. I'm surprised how little trouble I got in for it; I think because the teacher was vainly trying not to laugh. By the way, perfect 100.
i think it has nothing to do with the joke itself, it was more the fact OP was literally the only guy in the classroom. these kinds of jokes only really work in a mixed group. think of the joke you posted and imagine if everyone in the group, except the person telling the joke, was on s*icide watch or had previously attempted it. i don't think it would have landed nearly as well. again *to make it clear before a comment fight about humour breaks out* a joke that happens to be at the expense of a group of people is fine and can be funny, but it is really, really unlikely to land if everyone *except* the teller belongs to the group being made fun of
One thing is sure: you had pretty lousy teachers when instead of answering your question (seriously or not) they decided to throw you out of the class.
Op: "Investigate DEEZ NUTZ!!!" FBI agent that is also gay: "Ohhhh, and I thought this going to be another boring day full of paperwork." **Wink** Narrator: "It was at this moment he knew, he fucked up!"
The nipple in the art could represent motherhood and breast feeding and the woman’s possible role of becoming the mother for the abandoned orphan??? Idk. I don’t do art.
This has been one of your most enjoyable videos in a while, I couldn’t stop smiling and snickering that a few of my coworkers had to stop me and ask what I was listening too.
The music story, sounds like all those songs that were banned from the radio on 9/12. Jump, Dust in the Wind, Free Fallin’, Jet Airliner, Only the Good Die Young. It’s hilariously dark humor
RSlash: "I select my food for me to eat and I love it..." No mention of "I select food for my family to eat..." They're eating spaghetti and sauce, RSlash is eating well 😂
