For number one I bet any of those cheese would work just fine in a mousetrap.
Not my favorite set. Awesome high dive was impressive, others not.
Number 5. Best is saved for last.
Karma Karen is wasting her awesome ability to retain fat. I've spent most of my life trying to gain weight and I'm worried about the approaching famine. I must resort to violence before the others. That is my ancestry. They must have been fearsome!
5 is very good and I have a friend with the exact mannerisms and appearance of the girl with no hobbies. So 3 amazed me.
The mouse is adorable.
Her concern re WI is a feature, not a bug.
#5 Indiana slandered and Wisconsin praised.
What about Iowa?
Also liked #1.
I like 5, but I am from Texas
#13. Oberon Sinclair should be praised, and then condemned.
Michigan is not the Texas of the Midwest. In the 1960’s Detroit was the richest city in the world. Look it up. Now Detroit is ashes. The Texas of theMidwest is Ohio, Indiana, West Virginia and most of PA.
"What about Iowa?"
Which Great Lake does Iowa border?
The little girl complaining about the dog was cute and funny. I also liked the tip for dealing with passive aggressive people.
9 made me laugh out loud, out of recognition. The complaining girl was cute as a button. But the best for me was "too ugly to be painted" because I learned about the existence of the "Zorn technique". Never heard of Anders Zorn before, but now I know he was one heck of a fine portrait painter. Thanks!
P.S. Anyone of you-all with a BFA heard of Zorn thru school? Is he still a big deal, or completely forgotten?
#13 I've always wondered why people suddenly started eating kale. But ... is this the real story?
Though I also enjoyed, I'm ashamed to say, the woman falling over the trash can. I had to by effort stop re-watching. I know someone who needs a bit of karma.
Triscuits are my husband favorite crackers, so the wicker chair one cracked me up. The little girl who was mad at the dog reminds me of my niece. I now appreciate my ability to retain fat, though not enough to go out of my way to do so...
And the scar experiment? What have we conservatives been saying all along about teaching people that other people look down on them?
Jesus miracle.
That Karen reminded me of Melissa McCarthy.
Caution: don’t try that dive unless you are a professional!
Is the scar experiment real?
Churchill burned the portrait of himself by Lucien Freud. Guess he thought he was too ugly to be painted.
Oooops. The Churchill painting destroyed was by Graham Sutherland. Sorry. I knew I should have checked first.
I think a good example of Minnesota being the Canada of the Midwest is the earlier video of a man backing a trailer with a boat on it towards a lake. Another man yells at the driver to let him know he was off, and the yelling man's two compatriots very mutedly chastise the yelling man letting him know what he did was too mean.
I know it is contrary to direction but I really didn't like the Instant Karma Karen video. The only emotions I felt when I watched it were pity and sadness. It is the first Tik-Tok video selected by you I watched and strongly disliked.
But to end on a high note, I literally laughed out loud at the Jesus Miracle video. Doesn't have anything on Lazarus but certainly more impressive than feeding a bunch of people with 5 loaves and 2 fish.
Instant Karma Karen? Ugh, two unpleasant people being, well, unpleasant. The one who fell just happened to get the worst of it.
#1 Sticker review suddenly becomes a phone-camera review.
Also like the lake states. And Karma Karen.
Great group for me. Of course, I laughed at Instant Karma...I am pathetically predictable in that regard. I found the scar experiment fascinating and worth sharing with a family member with erratic self esteem. And, sigh, the ability to retain fat struck a cruel chord since I have been unsuccessfully working hard to lose a few in anticipation of a class reunion.
If the ability to retain fat were not in your genes, you would never have been born.
Number 5 is a short shot of ignorance and bigotry. She's never been to places yet she judges them. At least the little girl witnessed the dog barking.
I only watched the karma… b/c reasons.
People like that embarrass the hell out of me. Their instincts are ground-level.
FYI:
Her name could be anything…
Well, eleven (not twelve).
The little girl was easily my favorite. There are a number of solid 2's.
Ann, you'll enjoy this: https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZTRPrCRxF/
There's something always funny to me about fat people falling.
14 is too many.
"Ann, you'll enjoy this: https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZTRPrCRxF/"
Some were cute, #31 was racist, and they're all too permanent to be encouraged (unless the owner of the property was part of the process (and, really, the neighbors should want it too)).
I've approved of the street artist that uses chalk on various found objects to create images, but chalk will wash away. I don't approve of spray painted graffiti. It would be very hard to get that off of complicated three-dimensional surfaces like those bolted pipes.
"14 is too many."
Yeah, I considered cutting it down to a more select group. If I had, you'd see:
1. The mouse is going to eat your food, so why not embrace reality and construct a cheeseboard for the little darling.
2. Painting the one who says "I am too ugly to be painted."
5. "Michigan is the Texas of the Midwest," etc.
8. The little girl has serious problems with the family dog and the family decor.
9. Sticker review suddenly becomes a phone-camera review.
14. Instant Karma Karen.
For me, the mouse was #1 because, as you may know, my favorite form of humor plays with the concept of big and small.
Next for me is the sticker/camera matter.
Then, the little girl, and not because of what she says about the dog, but because of her unspoken but acted out disapproval of the decor. When she picks up that wicker globe and looks at it, that's such a great moment. It's like she's fully alive and it's really hitting her: Why am I living here with these people who don't have any sense at all? What is this crap?!
"Why am I living here with these people who don't have any sense at all?"
Remember when you were 2 and it suddenly dawned on you: We're doing this. This is what we do. And then, if you're attaining consciousness, you think: WHY? Why this and not something else? Yes, here's a place where I can sit and maybe even lie down, but they have this thing, this thing that doesn't do anything, that doesn't look or feel too good, it's just presented to me as the way things are around here. Why is that there and, perhaps the better question is: why am I here? How did I get situated with these clowns? I gotta find a new place where the kids are hip.... etc. etc.
If you incentivize a Mouse in Your House you will get More Mice in Your House, and more and more. From being too nice to be firm at the first little intrusion, you come eventually to the last act of Straw Dogs. Don't want to see that on tictoc!
