Ranking Every Household Chore (Tier List) 

"Mowing the lawn is just a spicy walk" The egg is wise beyond his years

Do you ever stop to think how lucky we are to be alive during such a golden age of egg-based content?

Dude, the problem with the dust pan. FINALLY SOMEONE IS TALKING ABOUT THIS

"I need the sink to be empty so I can be comfortable doing the dishes" - truer words have never been spoken. Also I've lived with people who put food wrapping garbage (e.g., the plastic wrap around an uncooked pork roast) in the sink with the dirty dishes. It completely changes dish washing by hand from being A-tier or S-tier (for me) to literal F-tier.

If you close your eyes, it's like you're listening to an Isaac run where NL got brimstone in the first devil deal again.

the casual "i'd rather die" blew my socks off

Dude I don’t know how I would live my life without this kind of content. I am literally watching a 30+ yo father blabbing for 1 hours about EFFING CHORES and I am absolutely living. Top tier egg content

There are 29 chores and the video is 1 hour and 15 minutes long --- classic NL

finally, the perfect video to listen to while doing my chores

Sweeping the floors at work became very zen for me because it was the most relaxing and introspective part of the day for me, so it kinda carries onto my home chores sometimes. Not a fan of vacuums, loud, you gotta worry about the cord, and can overheat easily

“… when I think back to being in college, nobody ate out… because we were all such big fans of The Dark Knight.” This man’s comedy cannot be stopped.

I'll let you in on a little secret of the house cleaning trade. Full disclosure, I worked for a house cleaning agency for several years so I guess I'm a bit of an authority on this. This was, however close to 20 years ago so keep that in mind. Although I doubt vacuum technology has advanced that much in that time frame. First of all, vacuum cleaners still aren't that effective on hard surfaces like linoleum or hard wood. The spinning brushes (aka the beater bar) just manages to spread the dirt around. They do make suction only vacuums but most hard floors usually have dirt that suction alone won't remove. You are correct in that dust pans are just garbage and don't pick up all the dirt and you can waste a lot of time trying to get every last bit in the pan. So to save time we would sweep the hard floor dirt into a pile and then sweep the dirt onto the carpet where we would vacuum it up. As a side note, I think most people wrongly assume the spinning brushes of the vacuum cleaner are in there to help sweep dirt into the vacuum. In fact the vacuum manufacturers themselves will tell you this. However, most vacuum cleaners aren't powerful enough to suck up all of the dirt from the carpet, so the beater bar actually function to "beat" the carpet and the vibrations that this causes allows the heaviest of the dirt to just fall between the fibers of the carpet to the ground. Now that's not to say all vacuums work this way. In my experience Oreck and Kirby vacuums are powerful enough to actually suck up most of the dirt but be prepared to drop a chunk of cash if you want either of those.

This just triggered some flashbacks of my old apartment I used to live at. We had standard dumpsters outside to take trash to. I swear about once a month after the weekly pick up the top would fall closed and someone would be too lazy to lift up the lid and just set their trash on the ground. Then everyone else would think it's full and just pile it up next to the first garbage. Most smooth brain thing I've ever experienced 🤦

i have an anxiety disorder and am currently moving and it’s been difficult but this video made me go from feeling so stressed i could physically vomit to almost normal within half an hour. thanks egg dad

2021 we're gonna see a comeback in dad based tier lists i can feel it

I've been casting stones into a fire, reading the bones for a new tier list from NL. The pogs do floweth.

You know this man is tilted off the face of the earth when he'd rather do a tier list of chores than play his favorite Pokemon in Unite

i'm glad this man agrees that sweeping is (mostly) antiquated. I vacuum and swiffer my room, and it's hardwood, and it's far more efficient than sweeping

I was born to late to explore the seas and born to early to explore the galaxies. I was born just in time to watch a Canadian egg rate the menial day to day tasks of human living and upkeep. Truly blessed 🙏🙏

When NL hits 1 million i am going to celebrate like i hit 1million

finally, the perfect video to allow me to temporarily shirk my daily responsibilities

Duvet spelunking is the funniest thing I've ever heard dude.

Fun fact: I actually broke my arm trying to put the duvet into the duvet cover. I also suck at it and as I was trying to flatten it out and make sure it all lined up, I lost my balance and fell off my bed and broke my arm in 2 places. I just got my cast off 3 months ago. 😅

The tirade at 10:50 is honestly how it is in shared garbage disposal areas. That and it turns out the rest of my neighbourhood - really gets on my nerves to see broken TV's, couches etc. right outside my lawn.

oh my god his bit about getting the grocery bag tested for finger prints 😂😂 51:34

I legit spent an hour fifteen watching NL talk about chores, and I Don't Mind It

You're the only Pokemon unite content creator that I actually find entertaining. Never stop so I can witness this game without shutting off the video due to boredom

These random tier lists give me life, i love these

Best part of mowing for me is you can be alone, listen to jams, use a loud heavy machine, you can see the results, its just such a perfect chore. Shoveling snow would be good but it murders my back and im cold the whole time so I get grumpy

Sometimes i think about how bad RU-vid has become,but then i see this,and this alone is enough to let it pass for the time being,10/10

This is a man who knows about content.

Unbelievably blessed content! I think you should leave season 2 tier list next

This is the kind of content I didn’t know I needed in my life.

I'd love to watch a video of NL trying out the proper duvet cover changing method for the first time just so i can see the look on his face when he realizes how magical it is.

Based on the image filename, the firewood-looking things are licorice sticks. So alas only the tier list creator knows what they were looking for when they found that image.

NL's got the amazing ability to spin mudane content into gold.

Yo detergent tech has come a long way. Cold water everything is the Meta. at least that's what PG people say will save the most energy.

I was flabbergasted listening to NLs duvet shenanigans as it takes literal seconds, so if you are READING this: First you fold your cover inside out. Then you reach inside (all the way) and grip the corners. Next you grab two corners of your duvet (short side - same as the cover’s corners) aswell and now you shake it like you mean it, resulting in the sheet still crumbled up your arms being freed and connecting with the duvet. Holding both corners (sheet&cover) makes sure they fill in perfect. DONE Thanks for the content you absolute madman.

This video just proves that NL can put out quite literally any tier list and it'll be great

Pretty sure that stick one was gathering firewood & stacking it by the fireplace, but idk. I've had to that like 4 times/year max where I live.

I agree with your take on cleaning the fridge. It's pretty great once it's all clean and fresh.

when i saw the title of this video my soul left my body temporarily

Possibly the dadliest video concept of all time

to chime in on the lawnmower opinion: the mowing part itself isnt too bad, but having to empty the cut grass chamber is awful. its dirty and heavy, and if i want to carry if efficiently i have to hold it up against my torso, which gets my shirt and arms dirty. also, dumping the grass onto the compost pile is hell, because it doesnt flow out like sand. it sticks to the inside and i have to extend my arms and shake the thing above the compost. that part specifically is exhausting. as an added bonus, even though mowing itself isnt too hard, its LOUD. and i cant just put on my headphones, because they dont suppress the outside noise enough, so my ears still hurt. for this reason i have to wear those construction antiphone things. we dont get alot of snow, but id much rather shovel snow than mow the lawn. theres no engine to be loud, no refueling/emptying to stop my progress, and no dirty grass to make all my skin and clothes green. yeah its more manually intensive, but i can deal with that. also, you generally only shovel snow off the driveway, not the entire lawn.

I like folding laundry and doing laundry bc I usually watch long videos like this one and argue with my phone as I'm folding or hanging up clothes. Having a good laundry room setup helps a lot. I keep hangers in the laundry room so as soon as shirts come out of the dryer I put them on hangers instead of tossing them in a laundry basket so they never wrinkle. Then I fold pants and put those in a laundry basket then I go room to room with the hangers and basket and put stuff away. I use a lot of scented stuff in my laundry so everything smells so good it's enjoyable

Man that duvet explanation was such good content

This is a great soundtrack to my nap thank you Mr Lion

I actually scold people if they leave trash in my car, I keep it as clean as possible. I had friends in highschool that would let their car get so bad there would literally be fruit flies and that scared me into keeping at least the inside of my car spotless.

Perfect thing to listen to while doing chores

isnt sweeping mainly a garden thing nowadays ? besides when you drop something and it breaks- sweeping the garden paths and drive of leaves etc

The most anticipated video of Ryan Northern Gary Lion's Career

im Pogged out of my freaking mind for this video!!

Best background content for work

Saving this video to inspire me to do chores as I listen

Thank you for a great video chocked full of commentary.

This is the kind of egg-based, golden-tier content we pog to

Someone till Ryan, mowing the lawn is like vacuuming, except the device is up to 3x heavier going over shag carpet.

Whilst I accept that vacuuming is the superior mode of cleaning to sweeping there are a few more instances where sweeping is prefferable. As somebody who lives in a flat and doesn't want to annoy the neighbours sweeping is a stealthy option i can employ at night or early in the mornings. Sweeping is a faster and more regular upkeep task. If you keep a small broom in the kitchen, you can use it for 30 seconds when you pop into the kitchen to do something else to keep the floor free of crumbs/hair/kitchen litter. Using the vacuum usually requires getting it out, plugging it in unless you have one of those low profile expensive wireless ones so will always consume more time. Plus once you've vacuuming you might as well do the next room, and so on. Finally brushes are cheap, light, and just work.

For mowing the lawn it really depends on what you got. For me I have a almost broken down push mower and it kills me every time I have to do it. It doesn’t collect grass in the bag so I have to go back and rake it up.

Finally, some good content

"You gave a subscription to SmallAnt's Mom, look at that" LMAO that caught me offguard

Cleaning the fridge speaks to me on a different level. Being single, I try to buy groceries for consuming that week or the following week, with the only exception of olives, pickles and pickled onions that last longer ofc. Gotta make those salads man, I don't want to throw out a bag of green mush formerly known as sprout salad mix lol. Plus whenever I make a dish, usually 4-6 servings, I eat that fesh and store the remaining servings in the freezer for a couple of days or weeks instead of being forced to repeat your meals or throwing it away.

This video is just a grocery list for things I'm slowly automating in my life. Some of these can't really be automated any more than they already are, but that doesn't stop me from trying.

The "I'd rather die" literally never gets old.

him talking about watching something while folding laundry, while im watching him talking about watching something while folding laundry while folding laundry

Now this is content.

Ah yes if doing laundry isn't S+ tier I riot. Also love ya nl always having the good content!

Your vacuum impression scared my dog.

Listening to northernlion while cleaning the kitchen and bathroom and making lunch turned it from a I'd rather not to therapeutic

2 hours talking about chores? Heck yes let's go

Pretty reasonable for a person without a yard or a garden!

Sweeping isn't for inside, it's for like the front or back porch of your house, basically outdoor area where you don't want to use your vacuum.

Damn, was hoping Blastoise could maybe pull you back in for a little bit. was enjoying watching the unite videos.

This should be the roommate application process. Min Max Marty the housing situation.

When I was living with my parents I always refused to feed the dog. They didn't force me to after they saw me try. Literally puked all over the kitchen floor shortly after opening the wet dog food can. That shit absolutely disgusts me.

I'm a simple man. I see a tier list for mundane garbage, I click the like button

i have put off sending mail for like over a year so i've never related less to anything. meanwhile, the empty sink thing is exactly me

I live in a shitty apartment that costs 2000 a month and looks like a motel 6 off a highway, I'm not paying for large junk removal. It's the corporate landlord's problem now

never thought i would hear cleaning the toilet compared to Death Stranding

WE LIVE IN A SOCIETY

Domestic Northernlion is the best Northernlion

23:15 I'm from the rural south and I lived in Colorado for 2 years, I'd much rather spend 4-5 hours shoveling snow than 2-3 hours mowing a lawn.

he has ascended

You mention BC Hydro and it hits home for me. I make your electricity meters 😅

The subscription car washes are worth it. Look into soapy wooder if the inside of your car is dirty.

Is cleaning the bathroom once every 2 weeks a lot? i always felt bad for doing it in that rythm

i will never look at chores the same way ever again

PINNACLE CONTENT Hope this tops the pizza tier list

The part about cleaning the fridge sounded downright horrific to me. Personally, the last time I threw away food was 3 months ago, and I'm still kicking myself for it. I'm very conscious about what I buy, because I despise food waste. I guess people in the West are just built different :D

What is this stuff about cold water washing? I've done my own laundry for 10+ years and never sorted anything. Towels, jeans, whites, darks, reds...it all goes together. Heat kills germs right? Make that water hot, throw un a cap full or two of detergent, run it on an "extra soiled" cycled and forget about it til it beeps. People worry too much.

I can just hear the thumbnail - "and what's the DEAL with mopping?"

Watched this while doing chores

my dude really changes the duvet covers like that

They said it couldn't be done!

Egg 1 mil this summer let’s get it baby 🙏❤️

I love this

In which we learn Monsieur Egg is more of an adult than I will ever be. My windows are covered in cobwebs and I can't see the floor of my car :( I also never fold anything, I just stuff it into the drawers lol

The mountain of pog descends upon thee

If vacuuming isnt S tier I’m gonna riot

NL’s very first take on sweeping is immediately triggering
