I love this idea

We need this

Think of the tree's

You are RIGHT, Farmer!

Wish I could give you an award. And a t-shirt.

I need merch of this quote

I knew a church (not SDA) that didn't allow open toed heels because they were "stripper shoes"

I’ve often posited that people who are rabidly homophobic or are anti-trans or act disgusted by people with casual sexual lives do so because they harbor these thoughts and know personally how these desires stand in the way of _them_ feeling like (what they consider to be) a good person. And therefore they try to prevent others from “experiencing” that same internal turmoil, as terribly misguided as that is. So I 100% think you’re on to something. It’s always the most homophobic people who get outed trying to have anonymous homosexual encounters.

@@threeminuteshate They view those people as porn categories, not actual humans

I'll be sending my bill to Kevin directly.

Thank you! It was a pain in the ass to do, but I was determined! So nice to see people appreciating the gag.

Yeah the editing in this episode was awesome!

@@shaunneal9981 Aw, shucks. You're awesome!

@@EveryFairyDies Your inner Sam is really starting to shine through and we revell in the torture. Embrace the Blaze.... Do it! (Senator Palpatine voice)

Wanna also add that the editing was brilliant 👏

Some people are in to that sort of thing... or so I've heard. Not me, of course. I have never had things glued to my back and then torn off before. Allegedly. What's with the 20 questions, anyways?!

Watching those videos to find an example hurt my soul. So much anger and heartbreak.

I think I saw where they are taking ticks off of animals, and then just letting them get them again and again to keep making videos too 😢

@@agiraffe3673 I'd believe it. Some people really suck!

@@ImWearingPantsNow Pants should be illegal. Making someone wear pants is abuse.

I finally got Metallica in there!!! 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘 And thank you!

Loving the Metallica especially too 🤘

Lol i knew it was her when i heard that!

Also seems like she likes supernatural ❤

Just a tad!@@katelandcates04

Some of the content may still be dark, but at least we get to have fun with it!

@@ThatWriterKevin no way! Are you *THE* Kevin? As in, Simon's writer Kevin? Because if it it is you, let me just say, your a legend, never stop being awesome!

@@EpicgamerwinXD6669 thanks! 💕

Oh man, that is awful. Please tell me you reported the channels.

This sounds like it might be a pretty dark fetish as well as animal abuse. I've personally heard some fetishes that are disturbing enough to be right up there with it. Small things that struggle fetishes is part of how disabled women can make a living in sex work.

@@Numb3r3dDays - Yes, I did. I am a genuine animal lover, so I put quite a lot of time into finding and reporting the channels. I also went through the video comments and wrote directly to everyone donating telling them the truth. There are also videos of vets exposing channels on RU-vid and so you can find the live ones that way and report them. Simon said videos are more likely real if they have the rehabilitated animals in the videos. But when I researched it some people are even fiming the videos out of order. So they film a healthy animals and then starve it and drop it in a position to "save it". They can then show the healthy clips to make it look like they spent time and money rehabilitating them. You have to remember that some of these channels are in countries with an average wage of $40 a month and so they can make amazing money from a few Western donations.

​@@Kerosene.Dreamswow. How does one even find that out? But I'm glad u told me so if I come across it....still if it's stageð. And they are pròfiting...maybe it's how they can best earn $....? Adults make their own choices

There are quite a few channels from certain countries masquerading as “animal rescue”. Many use kittens and young cats. I saw a video from someone who did a deep dive on this subject several years ago and it was very disturbing.

Doing my bit to keep the channel classy.

I want to know how the sponsor's marketing people reacted to that.

That song is from Avenue Q (aka: what if Sesame Street was made in Melbourne)

you deserve so much happiness, I'm so proud of you for working so hard against difficulties with your mental health and hope that you're doing as well as you can ❤ keep on keeping on, this world is a million times better with you in it!

@@projectjupiter5523 That's very sweet thank you ❤️ Times are tough but I'm still fighting

Dude I felt that, this channel has kept me going lmao

I do agree. We don't even get the old school way once a month. Shame on him.

Was so fun, made covid lockdown so much fun, also RIP in peace ETA

@@jeffsorrows right? And don't get me wrong, I enjoy the new writers and editor .. but I miss our little trio 😭

Yup. Learned a long time ago. If you want to donate. Go directly to said charity and donate. Don’t do it through the stores, the email, etc. head directly to the source for your donation. Otherwise, everyone takes a cut of said donation.

I worked for a call center for about 3 days that collected for the Fireman Association. 10% is all they had to give to follow regulations... 10% and that is to be considered a non-profit...

What!

​@@jackoh991Are you new to America? Anyone screaming deregulation is really screaming for new ways to rob you and get away with it. Anyone asking you to donate is sliding that donation in some rich cocksucker's pocket and laughing at you. If it's a corporation asking, they're really tricking you into funding their end of year tax write off.

@@bannankev Unfortunately, even legitimate charities can be dubious in regards to money actually going where they imply.

I get cat and dog videos but those I get are more we found a feral cats that we catch and then see if they are adoptable or channel that tells stories of different people’s pets.

There's also real wildlife rescue that's "people made this thing, usually a water reservoir, with a steep incline and very deficient measures to prevent animals from entering, so we had to go with ropes to get them out before they drowned (sometimes it's too late)", which some people then use as "inspiration" to practice cruelty on their pets (or troubled wildlife they caught by chance) just for the money. The main difference between both kinds being that the legit ones show at most the discovery, one person in the midst of the rescue and then the rescued animal, all the while giving an explanation of the dangers those waterholes or whatever pose and asking for the authorities to take measures so that they do't have to do it again, while the fake ones tend to develop like someone's idea of a Hollywood movie.

I think that he takes off a fair amount to camp with his boys. If he didn't, we would see a very sad and disheartened Simon, indeed. Especially with the content he makes on Casual Criminalist.

I'd say watch The Moomins. Loved it as a child, loved it again when my child watched it

@@garbuz3324 never watched it. What platform

Best part of Bluey is the dad isn't some incompetent oaf with no purpose.

Yes! Bluey is fantastic. An Aussie made and set cartoon show that appeals to both kids and adults. If you have kids it really captures what life is like. It's on ABC in Aus but not sure where you can view it outside of Australia.

@@shaunneal9981 Bluey is carried on Disney+ in Canada.

New editor here, and thank you! My twisted sense of humour was made for this video.

@@EveryFairyDies As a metalhead, I really hope that you continue making the 'killed by metal' videos. I do think that you fit in well with the kind of videos that Simon does but I guess I'll see more of that as time goes on.\M/ )0(

@@Kerosene.Dreams Not to worry, I do intend to continue my Murdered by Metal series! And thanks for watching my channel! 🤞 I might have one out in time for Christmas. Cause what's more Christmassy than a metal murder? 🤘

@@EveryFairyDies Indeed! Keep on rockin' on, Lorelei.

...something about penile gland and Swedish girls...

Of course it's all true. That's why they harvest them from the very young and eat them.

What have you been searching for and watching for Adsense to think that was relevant to you, hmm?

@@semaj_5022 Sorry to be really boring but I turned off personalised ads way back so it tends to reflect the video I'm watching rather than anything else. So if I'm watching Aron Ra or Rationality Rules I get religious ads and I guess that Brain Blaze that has spent a fair amount of time heckling conspiracy theories to make ads about woo woo nonsense a good fit in someone's mind.

If you leave the cat in the tree they figure it out on their own. If they couldn't climb down they shouldn't be able to climb up.

So… I watched it once out of curiosity… Described. I never want to see something like that again. Nauseated face.

yuck, thank you for reporting those. on a similar note, I've heard (but not personally looked into it myself) of videos of home births being posted online for under similar circumstances, which is a whole other level of disturbed if the person giving birth isn't aware and as the child definitely can't consent to it even being uploaded for genuinely medical or educational purposes 🤢

Good point And yes. Everclear is medicine

YT has a legal obligation to remove certain content and to knowingly allow illegal activities to continue could open them to legal and civil liabilty.

Still better than what Instagram did until very recently. They had literal child porn on their platform, they knew they had literal child porn on their platform, and instead of taking it down, they programmed a pop up to warn you that you were about to look at child porn

@@andiward7068 There's also a legal(and moral) obligation to report illegal content, not just remove it to cover your ass, which takes priority - or should. But as we all know, it doesn't happen.

@@TrafficCamWatch ~ Actually we don't know that; an assumption is not a fact, it is gossip. Google has entire office floors of people that handle these matters, it's a ludicrous claim that they just file it away without so much as a call to the law enforcement entities they are in contact with everyday as a matter of course. Use your head, man.

And Sabaton

PETA rescues animals from homeless individuals, euthanizes them, and then throws them away. So...

Thank you! Alright, alright, I'm working! Please stop whipping me!

~bows modestly~

Lol. Actually just watched that TCC before this.

Same 😂. This was at the top of the recommended list right after listening video on that Joel creep on CC.

Lorelei has totally never been to a Supernatural Convention and does not have photographic evidence of meeting Jared and Jensen.

I found that funny too, but my pragmatic f*cking brain couldn't stop whining about the fact that all Lassies were played by male dogs 😶 -:)

@@Foxiz Right!!!!!!!!!!

@@Foxiz you're telling me that even dogs have to deal with the glass ceiling? damn

For most of us, who actively work through it instead of wallowing, humor is great medicine. Jokes about PTSD can be incredibly funny.

Yes. Not sure when, but it will be soon.

Oh you! ☺

Don't forget the "charity"!

@@tubensalat1453 Why does everyone keep putting it in quotation marks?! PLEASE DONATE TO OUR COCAINE FUND!

Woot!

Is it out yet? I can't find it on Amazon, but i havent checked other platforms

@@isaackolman2861 Should be. Punch my name and the book title into google. It'll be there. Failing that, add Black Inc.

@@isaackolman2861 I haven't been able to find it either, but I haven't had time to look,lol

I found it but it says it's not available for sale yet. The publish date says October 2023 though so I'm confused! But I want to check it out.

It's short for Kate.

You're welcome! I'm so glad I got to see Randy live a few weeks ago, loved his stuff for many years now.

​@@EveryFairyDiesThat's awesome! I myself am Australian and haven't been able to catch him here downunder. Hope you enjoyed it!

@@bellamaria6716 It was great! Also glad I got to see him up here in Brisbane. Helped with the whole "being back in Brisbane" 😂

I know, it was driving me crazy while editing. I kept thinking I'd messed up a setting or something. 😆

It gets weirder if you search with emojis

I am also very proud of myself that there is at least one horrible viral video I haven't seen (to date). If you don't watch one viral video this year, make it that one!

You're always welcome!

Wait, WHAT?!?! Damnit! I need to find that!

Ayyye dont be a snitch! Mans gotta make money, its a hustle. Likely he doesnt even regularily drink from that cup, nor even live in that basement, nor even have a guy writing scripts. He is just a skitzofrenic guy hearing scripts and making it work, and its tough stuff.

@@mjfan653 I only half-tattled, I didn’t mention the brand. 🤫😂

Nah, the keys and wallet he pulled out are the extra ones he keeps around for sponsors 😉 Really tho, the keys might be his house keys that he’s been renovating forever

I'm not bothered by that. I am starting to get bothered by companies that brag about being sustainable, but then make their shoes literally out of oil.

The contract with the company probably requires him to say it. RU-vidrs always seem to claim to be thrilled with and regularly use whatever they're advertising.

I felt it was very tame and I feel like it's only tame because it wasn't about when YT first started.

Make sure to keep your clothes on and record it.

You're welcome! I brought my A-game since this one was a dark one.

You can also get away with a lot under the art exemption. Search for Steel Panther Glory Hole

My gift to all of you.

Aw, your comment made my day! Thank you!

And thank you edditor!!! (I'm sorry idk who's editing this one probably Sam, thank you sam)

​@@jacksonGPTSam is a gif guru, so that's who I immediately assumed too.

Returning after finished vid, amazing vid 10/10. Great tangents Simon, amazing gifs Sam, brilliant script Kevin

@@Ad_Inferno Actually, that was me, your resident Not-Sam!

@@EveryFairyDies 😂 Well in that case, good work, Not-Sam!

P.S. I have covid so....... not as impressive as it sounds, but not zero, either.

No. It was a big thing even before then. Like a few years before. It was a fairly well common thing for at least a decade. My theory is that is a reflection of an undercurrent in american society where we had two generations of people where a large portion of the population divorcing and mixing families during mid and late adolescence. So basically people grew up. Some of them decided to make prawnos and they made nostalgic scenarios. Iow the last two gens have been pseudo-insecty.

@@metamorphicorder You are thinking way too hard about it. It is an easy way to answer the question of how the actors know each other and why they are together in a given location. Basically an update of the plumber or door-to-door salesperson stories of the past, but with far more versatility. Sure some of them may lean more into the "family" angle, but the majority will just make one mention of it in the beginning and then never bring it up again. I'm sure you are right that the rise in mixed families probably contributed to the normalization of the concept, but I doubt it was a driving force.

Don't kink-shame me!! 😅😅

@@ImWearingPantsNow This comment with that username is perfect. 😂

I guess for the more obscure ones people actually do stumble upon them; or something that is close or related and then follow that line of interest.
