Hope you like these 9 TikTok videos I picked out for you today.

1. "Where are the fruit trees?"

2. Grandparents have had the same bathroom wallpaper since the 1970s.

3. A strange cleaning tip.

4. When you give your wife marriage advice from the 1950s. Does she laugh or get mad?

5. When you perform an extended imitation of the way your wife acts when she gets home from work. Does she laugh or get mad?

6. More analysis of Amber Heard's witness-stand acting from that actor-scholar actor.

7. Take off those ugly socks.

8. Sitting at home, eating snacks.

9. "Maybe the only reason you think you're not good enough is..."

Well, I'm not a biologist, but I'm going to guess that marriage advice was from a woman's magazine! I'm even going out on a limb and guessing the authoress was an authoress.

That wallpaper still looks fun to me. Why change it?

Just so you know, Ann ... you shouldn't be wasting your life watching this crap. We don't watch this crap. And we don't care and aren't clicking on any of this garbage that, I must say, you'd have to be being paid to post this dreck.

Stop wasting your talent with this trash.

We're here because you are one of the nation's most-read law professors, and we are currently in the midst of some of the most tumultuous times possible in the courts in our entire lifetimes.

Start writing about things that matter.

We don't care about Tik-Tok.

I laughed at them all.
Loved the young lady from Uganda- had a missionary teacher that lived there for years, Brother Lionel, in junior high.

I was going to follow Ann's account so I don't have to go back and forth but can't find it now.

I rather like the wallpaper. But I have no taste in decorating. 🤷‍♂️🤯

I liked the "where are the fruit trees." In California and more southern locations there are lots of fruit trees in yards. And I remember how, right after the WW II in America, there were lots of yards with fruit trees which were planted for food during the war. But most everyone quit canning, and then the fruit became a nuisance and then they died or were cut down. I have crab apple trees and the deer eat them, thank God. Imagine trying to make jam from hundreds of very tiny, sour apples.

before you diagnose yourself with depression or low self esteem, first make sure that you are not, in fact, just surrounding yourself with assholes. william gibson

Sounded like they brought in a US-born black guy to rebut the argument against staying indoors most of the day.

Was the voice on the last video a robot Martin Sheen?

I don't know relationships, but I do know comedy. You need to communicate what the hell you are doing. So the guy who is making fun of his wife for how she comes home has told her that he's going to do this. And so she's involved (and holding the camera). That's why she thinks it's funny.

Comedy 101: if you want a joke to pay off you have to set it up first.

Relationship 101: you're going to be way better off making fun of your wife than you will be pretending to be a man from the 1950's and making fun of him. Andy Kaufman used to do meta shit too, which can be funny, but also annoying to the audience who begins to suspect that they are the joke.

You can't eat at everybody's house.

The wallpaper looks very 1970s and I totally get the grandparents not wanting to go to the effort, or cost, of changing it. I am not keen on making fun of the grandparents for their decorating decision they made decades ago in the same way I wouldn't approve of grandparents making a Tik Tok that makes fun of a grandchild's tat.

@Buckwheathikes

Set up a trust that will pay me $1 million a year to do that... so I can say "no."

Ann Althouse said...

"Just so you know..."

Just so... no.

When you have an extra bathroom, like in the basement, you may never redecorate it.

We have 2 full bathrooms and 3 "half baths" in our house. I've lived in the house since 1986, and 2 of the half baths have *never* been used by me! One is in the basement and one is between 2 bedrooms that have never been my bedroom.

Tank said...

Good group. That 1950s stuff is great. I guess cunt is an OK word now?

Tank said...

What is the proper word for people who tell Althouse what to do on her own blog?

I'm in love with the young woman from Uganda! A Boston friend told me about a visiting Nigerian who almost died laughing when he saw a little dog wearing a coat.
The actor scholar needs to talk faster and cut out the chit chat!

The acting coach analysis is cool.

@Bob Boyd

That's what I was thinking too.
