The A**holes of Reddit 

NEW OUTRO MUSIC BY YSO BLANK: distrokid.com/hyperfollow/ysoblank/runaway-feat-youngteam

I hope that man’s girlfriend gets her legally blonde moment.

Men on IATA: "my girlfriend tripped on a stick yesterday i think we should break up" Women on IATA: "my boyfriend tried to kill me but we have a good relationship despite that"

Love the idea that the 7 year old will become an uncontrollable butter fiend if she sees her aunt consume it once.

“she’s a woman and foreign, a double handicap” im dead

when she’s a 10 but she buys you concert tickets as a surprise

Lawyer dude could be right about the hurdles she'll face, but he's approaching the situation all wrong. His pessimism and self-disappointment is clouding his judgement and getting in the way of him supporting a loved one. She can always shape up her english writing and decide whether she's willing to dedicate her time to studying law, but that's something *only she* can find out - it's not up to him to decide if she's worthy of becoming a lawyer, or if she should even try. All he should do is provide her with support and love.

the problem with aita, is that a good chunk of the stories are either someone being abvsive, or someone being abvsed. which is why they're all so clueless

My favorite ones are the ones where the title is like "am I the asshole for stabbing my pregnant sister in the jugular" and it's like yea what the fuck but then you read it and it turns out her sister was a psycho who was about to shoot up a dunkin donuts and the stabbing was done in self defense with a bent plastic spork but the family still sided with the sister bc she's expecting and they're all now treating op like a villain. Like- no, you're not the asshole for fighting your sister in this context but GOD, the wording..

That one lady's husband who yelled at her for buying him tickets needs a divorce wtf

That first one’s really annoying bc he literally loses nothing if she fails her application, which demonstrates how the only reason he cares is his conceited sense of pride. Maybe her writing is really bad, so what? She gets denied, is disappointed and will develop her skills to try again later and hopefully get accepted. The only reason he doesn’t want her to is because he sees her as lesser than him and he’s insecure she’s reaching for the status he has

She already graduated from a good college he said, so she's obviously an intelligent woman with an aptitude for learning. If she needs help with technical writing skills (because plenty of fluent speakers of second languages can speak a bit better than they write) wouldn't it make sense for her lawyer boyfriend to say "hey, want me to proof read these?" Like, offer her actual support?

That husband with the tickets is literally just abusive.

I noticed Jordan is no longer saying "and I have before" after saying he'd kill for us... Is his loyalty to the wolf pack faltering? 🦅

About the first two stories: "The other person in this story went absolutely crazy for NO REASON while I was perfectly logical and reasonable the whole time!" is such a staple of AITA stories. It's always clear that either the whole story is fake or the person who wrote it did something horrible and knows they're in the wrong, but is trying to get sympathy from the internet anyway.

The lawyer being honest, okay; I'd let that slide but why is he actively trying to stop her from trying? From his own judgement, she'll get a rejection and move from there. He's acting more worried that she'd actually get in.

The best/worst AITA was one where the husband enjoyed shit play in the bathtub, didn't CLEAN IT PROPERLY, then got absolutely furious at his wife when she talked to him about it and making sure he did clean it properly so the smell wouldn't remain And apparently besides that, he was a great husband and father so she was on the fence about what to do next

The problem with aita is when people write about things they could have done wrong they will usually paint themselves in a better light or omit certain details to make the other person seem less rational it may not even be on purpose just sometimes people dont realise all the relevant context to provide

I just think this Jordan guy is a pretty neat specimen of guy

It sounds like the birthday husband doesn't have an issue with surprises - he has an issue with any decisions being made outside of his control, even if they're positive ones.

“Judge Judy and executioner” is the only way to say this from now on.

I guarantee you, the lady from first post is not only going to get into Harvard Law, but win a massive case while only an _intern_ based on her knowledge of perms

HE RETURNS!!!! THE ALPHA OF OUR WOLF PACK🗣🗣 (I missed you, thank you for posting today🫶)

despite disagreeing with your verdict, THANK YOU for calling out the "basic point" i find it interesting that his title read "aita for calling her dumb?" and in retelling the story he painted the picture of her merely jumping to the conclusion and accusing him that he thinks she's dumb. could be clickbait, but could also be inconsistent. anyways, you really don't want to have a partner that discourages you from even ATTEMPTING something. what's the literal worst that could've happened? and even if something would have happened that made her feel humiliated, i feel like what's important is that, no matter the outcome, you got her mf back, mahdude. in terms of the costly process that is a law school application: if that truly were a genuine issue for them in particular, judging from his writing, he would've taken the time to raise awareness to this incredibly significant aspect aswell. 😌

I think his point in emphasizing that she graduated highschool and went to a good college was NOT to imply that she did this in spite of english being her second language, but instead to illustrate just how shocked he was at her lack of writing skills- he had assumed that she was totally fluent, and was floored by her "terrible" essay. At least, thats how i read it at first, but im totally open to hearing how other people interpreted it

I love this subreddit so much. Every other post you ask yourself 'how did this person type this out without realizing how terrible they are', just wonderful

as someone who is genderfluid, i can confirm i only know what i’m doing when i am not in my girl form

The problem with "Am I The Asshole" is that it usually implies that a) there can only be *one* asshole; and b) you can't be wrong in a given situation unless you're an asshole. e.g. the lawyer guy definitely comes across as an asshole generally, regardless of whether he's right in that instance.

I do love Barb for taking food before she left.

6:45 It's not about the butter. You can also see exactly how disgusted/judgemental the OP is of her SIL by the language she uses and the details she includes & omits. Why did the OP make a point of saying that her SIL "packs some of the food from the grill" before leaving? I bet she also grabbed her phone, packed her bag, checked she had her car keys etc. It doesn't even matter if she took food when she left - that has nothing to do with the butter. Regardless of what you think your child should or should not be consuming; this is either about someone using their child as an excuse to express their own disgust, or about a parent unwilling to explain something/maintain boundaries with their own child.

Anytime someone especially a guy says "then they raised their voice" or "got emotional" while not giving all the details of what they said prior....uhm we know who the a**hole is.

right, REDDIT is going to resolve these moral dilemmas

My favorite thing about the AITA subreddit is the idea that redditors are ever good people

i was with the not liking surprises guy in the first half, like okay, I’d probably b overwhelmed if someone bought me concert tickets without asking too, like that usually involves travel and money for hotels and yadah yadah. generally stressful, i get that. but then he was like STUPID B!TCH and it’s like OH. OKAY

He works in the industry so he could definitely help her find a mentor or job/internship or prelim course to help her prepare for law school. Then, when she’s experienced the field some more or heard other peoples experiences, she might change her mind herself or tweak her aspirations or choose to go ahead.

the title of the lawyer person, my knee jerk reaction to the title was clearly you haven't seen legally blonde lmao. alas reality is different

what the heck

The first guy (lawyer) could've gotten his answer by watching Legally Blonde. Warner isn't the hero. He's most definitely the bad guy, as is the guy who posted.

I'm someone who strongly dislikes surprises (mostly due to my generalised anxiety disorder, I'm guessing) so I can empathise with the husband on that. And buying concert tickets is kind of forcing someone to get out and be social which I would definitely dislike BUT that doesn't mean that he can just fucking YELL at someone! What happened to just *communicating* like adults? If I were in that situation I definitely would've thanked the person for being thoughtful enough to remember my favourite musician and get tickets but also express that it is too much to not only do it as a surprise but also have it be something with so many other people in attendance like a concert (I personally barely leave the house bc of my anxiety disorder). I'd still try to go with them just so that they wouldn't feel like they wasted their money in case there are no refunds available or are a bad person for wanting to give me something nice without telling me beforehand. But actually yelling at someone for that and then insulting them on top of it AS WELL AS ignoring them for days? Nope. There didn't have to be an asshole in that situation at all. That dude just needs to go to anger management or therapy in general if that is his reaction to a surprise; there has to be more to it, right? Or am I naive for thinking that?

Someone should make an "EITA" series where they find just the stories where Everyone involved is horrible.

My theory is that money guy is in debt to the mob because of his bad habit of gambling. However he'd promised his wife he wouldn't gamble and is to proud to admit he broke that promise. But he doesn't have any personal accounts to draw the money from to cover his debts so instead he asks his wife for birthday money.

Jordan’s mustache is transition goals. Like literally just the stache

imagine yelling at your spouse because they got you expensive tickets to a concert

The thing about high school and college was him saying she had been through many years of a fully English speaking school system and was fluent in the language which made it surprising that her writing was not equivalent to that

I'm also someone who doesn't like my gifts to be surprises mostly because people around me don't put in much effort to know me well enough to pick out a gift I'll want to keep and get pissy if I end up giving it away or not displaying it. A lot of the time it's cheap knick-knacks and things that I've actively stated I don't want. I actively tell people not to get me anything because I would rather spend time with them than have to figure out how how to quietly get rid of the things they bought me when I know they're going to throw a fit about me not liking it. In a family where giving gifts is an obligation and a power move rather than a genuine act of kindness and affection, this mindset of "please don't surprise me with gifts" is kind of natural. He was definitely an ass about it regardless, you don't yell at people for spending money on you unless they're hatecriming you with it somehow (which is possible, like buying a gay person a book designed to teach them how to ungay themselves and stuff like that). I happily accept surprises from people who know me well enough, like my partner and close friends. If anyone bought me concert tickets, I'd go under pretty much every circumstance short of unresolvable scheduling conflicts or if I wouldn't be able to have my disabilities accomodated at the venue.

Knowing Reddit, I don’t think even half of these are true stories. But they are always fun to read for one reason or the other.

I have seen "successful lawyers" who wrote paperwork up that was peppered with grammatical errors and spelling mistakes before. Sometimes they don't even get their paralegals or assistants to double check things before submitting them to court. It really depends what kind of law they will practice, it isn't always very serious to have minor errors and even so, why couldn't she hire staff to work for her that looks over her paperwork before submitting it to court? Lawyers are mostly going to be speaking in the courtroom (or negotiating over the phone while talking with people) and it is very common to have other people help them with editing and prepping paperwork and even writing emails for them. Yes, she absolutely can be a lawyer if she wanted to work hard and do it. This guy is unsupportive and does come off like an arrogant jerk...

“Reddit is like walking through Chernobyl”- Jordan Adika 2022 Well said Jordan! Well said! And I do agree, though it can be an addicting place like all the others. Luckily it’s not like Twitter-or as to put into words like Jordan-anyone walking around Hiroshima; not through, that’s just bat fucking insane! Yet many do…

Hard disagree on the first one. 100% the asshols. I am perfectly accepting of any lawyer who wants to say "honestly now that I work in this field I wouldn't want anyone to do it. I regret my decision and I wouldn't wish my job on you" then he wouldn't be the asshole but instead he made it about himself (he doesnt know shed feel the same way abouty law school) her English abilities? I can't imagine having worked through high school and college in a different language then my original just to have my boyfriend tell me my English still wasn't good enough and now he's sure I won't be capable of law school

NTA. Your bioweapon of mass destruction, your rules

i’ve been absolutely binging jarvis and your videos and listening to sad boyz and you guys make such good content i always know whatever vid it is, it’s gonna be a great time!

I feel like AITA’s are usually two types of people: People who blatantly think they are right about everything and want the audience to agree. People who have been abused to believe they are constantly wrong about everything and need support.

finally, my favorite Chicken Girl is back

To me, the most frustrating reddit experience is sorting by controversial in r/whatsthisbird So many people not understanding what a fledgeling is and why you shouldn't pick one up and take it home for internet clout. Also, people who don't know that letting your cat outside is not good for bird populations at all

I mean, this video was entertaining, but I don't know why people might expect some kind of vindication by giving one side of a story. I guess it's just seeking confirmation bias, like expecting your friends to just support everything you have to say even if they know it's not the best for you.

tbh calling your gf "too dumb" doesnt need background or explanation. if you call your partner dumb sincerely then uhh yta its that simple

I'm so glad you've put out a new video! Discovered you a few weeks ago and literally can't get enough! Keep up the great work!

The irony of the disproportionate reaction in the first story being a big deal in criminal law the first semester isn't lost on me lul. But, in all seriousness, if she gets past the writing prompt in the LSAT it's not up to him to decide whether she continues on the path to law school. If they don't make, it they don't make it but they won't know until they try. Believe me, there are ways to overcome the shortcomings. But also also, be VERY sure you are ready for law school. I graduated with $120,000 in debt exclusive to law school. I've paid $45,000 in payments. I still owe $150,000 thanks to the way student loans are structured. Like, just be very sure you're going to be very comfortable making huge payments for at least a decade. You have to love your work a lot but your work also has to pay, and the more noble the cause the higher the risks and lower the rewards. It's less than $500 to do the LSAT and apply to a few schools, and there are scholarships for it. There's no harm in having options.

looks like big butter got to Jordan.

My issue is people on the subreddit are almost always involved in abuse. Whether that be the abuser or the abused. When they ARE the abuser 9/10 they only posted because they wanted people to be on their side. They end up super fucking defensive and rude. There was a story about a mom who pretty much ruined her relationship with her eldest daughter. She made a bunch of promises and broke them simply because "I promised it over a year ago. It shouldnt matter" She obviously hated her daughter and when people pointed it out, she went berserk. Stating that people couldn't have opinions about her family if they didnt know them

*"I'm feeling like Judge Judy & Executioner"* _Jordan Adika_

The mom of the seven year old is delusional. It’s the parents job to teach and encourage healthy habits. She’s going to be exposed to bad habits. What are you going to do when she goes to school, watched tv, reads a book, etc…. When I was a kid I read Archie comic books and have you seen the way jughead eats?

“honey….come back to bed….you have work in the morning” “babe, i’ll be right back, i’m getting the remote so we can watch the new Jordan Adika vid that just dropped” “awwwww baaaabe you know me so well!” *both watch the vid and have a gay old time, relationship strengthened xinfinity because of watching Jordan Adika*

"I feel like she doesn't truly understand-" Yeah, that's why she's going to school for it. Lmao you...you go to school to learn??? What 😭😭

YOU’RE BACK!!! This is the best day of my life so far

Either the birthday husband has deeply rooted trauma around birthday gifts and needs to see a therapist before they can continue the marriage or he is just an emotionally abusive a-hole who she needs to leave. Either way, she should be seriously reconsidering their relationship.

I have HATED the AITA sub lately. It's all "am i the asshole for telling this family should die?" I much prefer the AmITheAngel sub.

seeing your video notifications genuinely makes me so happy, I love your videos so much you are slay

The first one: He seems a bit parental in the way he acts. I kinda think he is sort of the asshole, but not entirely. I get his concerns, but based around his wording, we don't actually know what was said. And it seems like he's against the idea entirely, like not even trying to support it. Not in a "I don't agree with it, I know how hard it is" way, but more like "I don't see this going well and so I'm not going to support her." He could have added more constructive criticism, but we don't actually know what was said tbh. Still, I feel he should have still tried to help her while trying to make her expectations more realistic. And at worse, if her writing skills are that bad, she'd most likely get rejected. It is honestly complicated and I feel since we don't know how it truly went down, I don't really wanna accuse him of being the worst. But some of his wording (like the base point) kind of shows that he didn't really try to give constructive criticism, but that is just an assumption based on what we were given. Second story: She has to apply it in the kitchen, but like...wouldn't the girl still see her eating it? Butter on a hotdog is difficult to miss. Her applying it in the kitchen isn't gonna change the fact that it can be seen. I get wanting kids to have healthy habits, but just talk to your kid. And who knows if the kid would even find that appetizing in any way. Not to mention, what else the kid is seeing at like school with "unhealthy" lunches and all. The woman is an asshole for sure, man. If she's that worried about the kid's health, she can have a talk with her. People eat differently, people eat healthy and unhealthy. That kid is gonna see a lot of unhealthy eating anyway. Third story: I'll start out saying, I still do birthday lists and requests as an adult. My whole family does and my friends as well. But we also accept surprise gifts. Like I got to open a birthday gift early from my friend and it was something I hadn't expected! I also purposefully add more gifts to the list than I know I'll get so it can be a "surprise" if my parents only get me things from there. I know they can't afford a ton so I give a list of things I want and wait to see. Sometimes I get surprise gifts, but I think that happens more at Christmas. Now for my actual opinions on the story. What the hell. He YELLED at her?! She told him about the tickets and even suggested it, not even as a birthday gift and he yelled at her?! Girl, run! Omg that is so not okay! I get not liking surprises and stuff, but she saw an opportunity and brought it up! And it's his favorite artist, not some random group or one of HER favorites! And he said "stupid bitch?!" Okay, okay, girl, run. That is NOT a good man! "I feel like I should have read between the lines" I'm autistic, no hun. You should not be forced to read between the lines. He should have communicated better and even then, his reaction is ridiculous! He's this angry because you got him tickets to an artist he likes! I feel so bad for this woman, I wanna cry honestly. Two days of anger. Jesus Christ. I can't imagine ever getting angry at my girlfriend for that long. Even if he doesn't like surprises, it does not justify insulting her! Gross, icky icky icky. I feel so bad for this woman, she deserves better :'(

Wonderful timing Jordan, help me get through this studying lmfao

Just starting the video, but I'm ready to choke on my jello from this video. Update: The jello was saved from disaster, but my throat was not. The butter portion of this video made me inhale sharply on a mouthful of jello, and Vacuum Mode activated instantly. 8.5/10 Stars. Would not recommend consuming jello whilst watching this video, however.

watching these is always such an experience when i remember the pure chaos of the livestream

I literally just wondered if Jordan had posted yet, checked and was happily rewarded. 😊

your back!! I missed you your videos make me so happy

With the first one, I had a similar experience with my mom. She is one of the smartest people I know and her English is fluent, however I think she basically never had to do long form writing (she's a doctor). One time she wrote a letter to George Bush and I also was surprised and I think I even made fun of her a little :(. Now that I'm older I can see that being practiced in long form writing and intelligence are very different things.

I just found your channel and I’m so happy I’m here, I’m binge watching for the rest of the night :D

JORDANNN I was so happy to see you had uploaded today. This video was such a nice end to an otherwise bad day, appreciate you so much!
