So true
holy shit
the fact this was from 14 hours ago on a 3 year old video is the icing on the cake
@@CommanderStarscream I thought it said "3 years ago" like the other comments at first, turns out it's from 3 days ago lol
This town IS big enough for the two of us, because he's so small :)
That theme park seems like the perfect place to base my creepypasta, with my own original character, Fred Killstone - a photo negative version of Fred Flintstone
It's said that his victims have injuries consistent with hit-and-runs, but instead of tire tracks...there are bare footprints!
I wonder if Fred Tombstone wouldn't be a better name. ;P
@@Bigbluedragon9 That's too sensible, this is a creepypasta we're talking here :P
THIS COMMENT HAS ME WAILING
I bet his catch phrase is something like, "yaba daba do, there is no god for you!"
I'm glad that you did the responsible thing and adopted your giant spider instead of going to a breeder.
@RDS 7 A spider angel must have a lot of arms.
This is where I wish youtube allowed me to give a heart reaction.
@@csours Here: ♡
It's responsible to adopt a spider if it's from an ethical breeder.
Seraphim have four limbs and six wings, so probably the arachnid version would have eight limbs and twelve wings
Imagine selling someone a spider in the middle of a pandemic and eventually finding this video only to realize she took it out on the town in a small western hotel.
id be proud of my spon (spider son) going out and seeing the world... they grow up so fast :,)
That spider is living its best life
Frankly I’m not sure what else you would expect from a person buying a giant spider in the middle of a pandemic
@@Durmomo0 the little cowboy hat on top as it sits in the chair cracked me up.
She didn’t find the spider, the spider found her
Im actually shedding real tears over the beautiful serendipity of the flinstones park being preserved as a sanctuary for modern day dinosaurs.

This is the wholesome content we deserve.
So my 9 year old is deathly afraid of spiders, like true phobia. She won’t read National Geographic magazine anymore because once there was a spider picture. So anyway, I try to encourage “healthy spider interactions”, like cute stuffed animals, or stories with cartoon pictures, etc which she usually hates anyway. I showed her this video and she was full on belly laughing by the time the spider was playing pool in the saloon. I think we’ve made real progress here! Thanks!
That is epic!
I used Jenny's videos to overcome my fear of Star Wars. She's an honorable therapist.
Flat-On-His-Face I’m still scared of Star Wars, need more videos
That is so sweet and cute!
i had to google it to remember what it was called, but if you haven’t shown her the “lucas the spider” series on youtube, i’d highly recommend it! he’s extremely cute and friendly and i imagine pretty non-threatening even to people afraid of spiders
jenny somehow managed to have more fun in arizona in a single day than i ever did in my 20 years of living there

"I was able to take Aragog out on the town and show him a good time" why does that seem like something Hagrid would do?
Getting sloshed with a giant spider is totally something Hagrid would do.
He absolutely did that at some point, with Aragog poorly hidden in his giant coat XD
Because it is.
Case closed.
"My child doesn't have friends so I bought him this spider."
Wondering if she's secretly married?
And since this is Aragog, the tweet must have been written by Hagrid's mom. What a twist!
Or dad. Actually, far more likely his dad.
@@AwesomeBlackDude its a reference to one of her other videos! :)
He loves it when we play hat
This is probably the most quintessential “Jenny Nicholson” video ever. Research, number list, adventure, multiple theme-park-ish things, being unapologetically excited about life’s “little” things. One of my fav vids.
Don't forget an unnecessarily large plush thing... You just gotta love it
Don't forget the HAT
I think it's also important to recognize that the real giant spiders were the friends we made along the way.
There wasn't enough low-key mockery for the full Jenny experience, IMO.
@@ShaunCheah no, the real giant spider was that one tarantula.
I just love how Jenny says “spider.” It always has this mix of affection and mischief.

I actually don't mind having extra time at home because I'm an introvert with a lot of hobbies, but Jenny reminds me that it's fun to get out and about sometimes.

That's a massive thing I envy Americans for. In Ireland there are no themed hotels. That's not strictly true but the themes are like, oak furniture, wine tasting ect, all tasteful and grown up. I just want to spend a night in a fish.

I like how Jenny remarked "It looks so good," at an actual tarantula, impressed that it did in fact look like a tarantula, which it is.
I thought she was surprised by the good lighting
look you see facimilies of your favorite thing all the time, getting to see the real thing just proves how great it really is!
I thought it sounded like she wanted to eat it!
*Jenny and Aragog sit out on rocking chairs outside Old West Saloon*
*Three literal cowboys walk out of the shadows towards them, lead cowboy spits in the dust intensely*
"We don't take kindly to Giant Spahders in these parts, y'all best mosey outta here"
*His eyes narrow on Aragog, who stares innocently into the middle distance.*
Then Aragog springs to life and pulls out eight revolvers
I'd pay to see this in action.
Let me get this straight. You and your friends drive around and willingly stay in haunted train cars and investigate abandoned theme parks. Are you guys the real Mystery Inc?
Scooby Doo wishes he was a five-and-a-half-foot spider.

I often think about how utterly horrifying toy story would be if it took place in Jenny's house.
“you’ve got a friend in me” but it’s Woody riding atop a gigantic Aragog plushie through the house
There are spider experts, they're called arachnologists. They don't do anything at all with bugs, just strictly spiders.
You didn't have to give up on your childhood dream.
Kinda makes me think she wasn’t serious. It takes two seconds to search for that online. Or didn’t want to go out to a school that studied that because of location, etc.
@@narnia1233 She was school aged
@@narnia1233 bro are you seriously trying to gatekeep arachnology
@@narnia1233 i got the impression she didn't want to work with a bunch of dead spiders because they were dead, esp as a kid who liked them a lot
In a perfect world, yes, you wouldn’t have to study any other insects. But the reality is when you study any form of invertebrate zoology (or even just general ecology like I am for that matter) you will have to take entomology, and almost definitely you will have to hunt and pin insects.
Fun fact tho: you can’t pin most spiders bc their exoskeleton is too fragile and will deteriorate exposed to air, so most all spiders are kept in alcohol :)
Fan theory: this entire video is just a ploy to get Jenny's secret alt account, "TalkingTree2010," off the ground.
Lmaooo
Alright, I'm game. Let's get that tree to half a million!

There's like one other person at a failed Flintstone park and that guy does the classic "bet you're not even a fan" bit? Don't be that guy.

The idea of accusing someone of being a fake flinstones fan is so funny to me
@@MonkeyChessify Its a generational gap thing, It happens to me at the office sometimes, One time my coworker didn't believe that I watched Mac Guyver because I was 15 years younger than everyone else, it is what it is. Sooner or later Millenials and zoomers will be like "theres no way you're a real fan of 'Teen titans' or 'Avatar" you probably watched "Teen titans GO' or "legend of Kora"
9:53
I'm one hundred percent convinced that that guy was actually a creepypasta-tier cryptid, haunting the park and testing the _worth_ of its visitors.
Probably wore a photo-negative Fred Flintstone suit too.
I wish I had friends who would bring me on roadtrips to buy giant spiders.
being jenny’s friend sounds great youd randomly get calls every three months like “i need to watch every barbie movie do you want to watch them with me”

u can BE that friend
@@cocothedino_2901 yeah but then you gotta plan it
We’ve got elaborate toy store discourse, rare eBay finds, an obscure defunct theme park, a cowboy hotel with fancy hats, and a very handsome spider boyfriend. You’re really spoiling us with this quality content.

you dont have to believe that, because that isnt what happened, she was called a fake flintstone fan
Wedge Wizard it’s an expression
@@wedgewizard5429 exactly. She got fake gamer girled.
I think Raptor Ranch keeping the Flinstones fixtures is really sweet. It’s like “here you see dinosaurs of days past, and now look at the dinosaurs of now.” And just, the recycling of buildings for enclosures? Beautiful. I love it.
"I'm not going to not get the spider, but I need to be very cautious about HOW I get the spider."
I have kept tarantulas and got my degree in biology with a focus on spiders. This is a relatable feeling.

Edit:I guess I spoke too soon.
What Porg? *He's irrelevant now*
I would absolutely watch this toy story remake
Jenny says "don't get used to me doing road trip videos" and the first thing I thought of was the road trip to pick up the giant Porg and her trying to carry it then trying to stuff it into the back seat of the car.
@@legrandliseurtri7495 I FEEL NOURISHED
Can't wait for "1 M subs: Jenny gets a feral donkey"
the spider holding a gun while playing pool is a hell of a mood
i saw that too!
Just here to say that as an entomologist, most of what we do looks at insects as they live, as do arachnologists. The pinned insects are just used to represent diversity, most of what we do is in the field with love bugs
I like the Freudian slip of “love bugs” for “live bugs” there. Bird person here but I love live birds and cringe at the thought of people killing specimens to draw and document them (a la Audubon - most of his drawings are from birds he captured and/or killed). I mean, I’ve picked up a few dead birds in order to identify them and to save for a study on a then-prevalent outbreak. And I get banding and releasing. But I didn’t even like killing chicks to feed the snakes at the zoo I worked at.
Thanks for pointing out the difference between an entomologist and an arachnologist. I wanted to, but didn’t want to belabor the point or be rude.
Jenny's experiences are not universal, but god i wish they were
I think the thing that keeps me coming back to her videos is the childlike wonder she seems to have about these kinds of things
They're not universal, but they're somehow so relatable
she really said “my spider dealer” we dont deserve you
I wonder if that dude was like "Why would anyone buy this spider?" and then later googled Jenny and was like "Oh."
As a European watching this I feel a bit strange in realising how stereotypically 'American' a lot of the USA is. The love of western things, the weirdly specific themed roadside attractions, the 'we love freedom' bits, and associating that with certain kinds of behaviour. Like, I have seen it in media, but that it's real? Maybe I am weird. I really love the road trip content, and I used to have a big pillow with aragon embroidered on it, so I do appreciate the content!
It is very real but thankfully, only in certain areas.
This is really specific to location. America is enormous.
i don't think it's like this everywhere, at least all the cowboy stuff seems mostly touristy.
Is real kiddo, ‘merica! FUCK YEAH! *shoots to the air*
Yeah oddly enough real Americans love real American values. And since the wild west was probably the biggest single cultural event in American history and is truly and wholey American, obviously we're going to like that thing we did and invented.
We also like personal freedoms and liberties, at any cost. No matter the risk, even if people get hurt because we'd rather people get hurt while exercising free spirited independence than get restricted(And thus hurt) by government intervention.
Pretty much all the places in America not completely washed out and blended with foreigners to the point theyre not even Americans anymore(Nothing against those people, just saying, theyre not red blooded Americans, theyre Mexicans and Russians and Japanese and Iranians, ect, not the same as an American family with 6 generations of American history) are going to be huge into all those American cultural norms. Southern hospitality. Loving guns. Wanting true freedom at any cost. Rugged individualism. And because America is such a young country and our mass expansion was noticably recent, the idea of having boomtowns and temporary hot spots show up along the road and become attractions is kinda a thing in our culture as well. When us white Americans got here, this was 90% unpopulated, empty land. There wernt very many natives here so a crap load of that expansionism was into wild unspoiled unknown. Naturally caused such landmarks to arise as civilization was brought to empty, beautiful landscapes.
We really are like that, when you get out to the small towns and heartland of America. Obviously if you go to some big city its just a collection of 'everyone' like any city anywhere in the world. Kinda feel bad for peopel who go to foreign countries and then just visit cities, since you cant understand a nation's culture if you dont go to the heart of it, the small towns, the places where the culture is still preserved.
If I go to Africa to learn how Africans live, I dont want to be in Capetown, I want to be in some small white farmer's ranch or off in a traditional village.
this is crazy because I completely forgot my dad took me to this Flintstones place until now. I was 11 (around 1994). I hit my head on the ceiling of one of the huts and bled a significant amount
Memory unlocked!
“The closest thing to vlog content you’ve ever made” how quickly Jenny has forgotten Porg
And toothbrushing the pony toys.
We never forget Porg
I need more toothbrushing MLPs.
Jenny's next vlog-adjacent video will be her journey to pick up a gigantic plush My Little Pony Pony.
Can’t wait for the next big plushie vlog
As a biologist that used to work in a spider lab, I can say that Jenny definitely gives off the same weird energy as the entomologists I worked with
I can second that. Entomologists have a very strong weird energy. I'd like to think it's a fun, quirky kind of weird.
Also, I have a spider question, since I don't have a lot of experience in that area. Jenny mentioned "spiders on corkboard" in this video. Is there a situation where pinning a spider (to foam, not literal cork) would be preferable to putting it in ethanol?
Allison Homiak From what I understand and have seen, putting a spider on display not in ethanol only really happens when either it is a complete reconstruction not made of spider parts or if the abdomen of the spider is removed cause that part tends to rot and can’t be preserved well outside of an ethanol solution. Most of the times spiders have to be kept as wet specimens cause they tend to famously shrivel up when they die, which isn’t great for pinning. That’s what I’ve heard on the subject anyway👍
@@seaspinster3246 Thanks. I wasn't sure if there was some kind of exception to that rule, but the reconstruction thing makes more sense. Putting a pin through the cephalothorax seems pretty destructive for a research specimen, even ignoring the dehydration issue.
But then again, I've seen some pretty bizarre choices in specimen preservation (looking at you, house centipede with a million pins holding up each of your legs), so I didn't want to risk missing an opportunity to learn something, you know?
She talked about that in a ramble video. She wanted to become a entomologist as a kid but changed her mind when her class had some kind of career day and entomologists at a university told her that they work with dead specimens and also scorpions.
Also entomologist here. I was surprised to hear about the "spiders on corkboards" thing because my impression is that spiders can't be pinned the way insects can because they fall apart as they dry. When we worked with spiders in class, we always just used ethanol. But maybe people preserve the spiders and then pin them?
At 17:10 I thought: "Oh, what hilariously tiny of a hat that spider is wearing", until I realized it is the huge cowboy hat she wears throughout the whole video.
I like it when she says "oooh it looks so good" about a tarantula just going about their day
"But just in like a horse way, not in like an aggressive way."
fun fact: horses sometimes devour smaller animals like chicks or kitten if they need proteins.
Kurdt Coben understandable i too sometimes devour smaller people for sustenance when im hungry but forgot to bring lunch ://
@@anagjini7111 sometimes one has to walk the extra mile, ya feel me?
A curious nibble, a friendly chomp, an affectionate nom.
"As if digital catalogs are a good way to market to a demographic that doesn't understand delayed gratification or object permanence." Okay, that line absolutely killed me. It's like the most scathing board room indictment ever by the up and coming maverick "who is done with your shit".
Also, let it be said that most times I enjoy Jenny's videos and think, "Wow, that's awesome that she's doing something that she seems to really enjoy doing and does well, and bonus, I am thoroughly entertained by." This is one of the few times where I was like, "Wow... that looked like so much fun that I am genuinely jealous of the entire experience." So congrats on the successful non-covid trip, the spider, and the milestone in subscribers.
I think it’s delightful to imagine the guy who brought this spider watching a very small woman excitedly walk up to him and immediately request to hold the spider, to which it is almost as big as her. She then walks off giggling to herself in pure joy.
Like he probably thought it was going to he a halloween decoration, or another book store maybe wanted to purchase him. But it was just a lady who earnestly likes and appreciates spiders and that’s so sweet to me.
Big spider coming through the saloon doors like "this town ain't big enough for the one of me"
The combination of the covid masks and preparations and the flinstones park being completely empty made it feel like I was watching a group of people born after an apocalypse explore a once popular theme park and marvel at what humans used to do for fun lol
I have a feeling that if things continue as they are, that'll be Disney World in another few years.
The thumbnail of masked Jenny holding giant a plush spider at first looked like a video game screenshot to me. Like the next Fallout game or something.
the explorative tone and reading out the graffiti gave me that really surreal sensation lol

It's weird how Jenny and Vi have the same exact energy
I don't mean to be rude but watching this I'm left with the impression that America is a weird place. A bird of prey sanctuary in a dilapidated Flintstone's theme park, a wild west themed town which is really a hotel, a fully immersive toy shop which people visit to not buy toys. A four-day road trip to buy a giant toy spider for an adult.
I mean, it's fair enough, but it IS weird.
America is a very weird place. Usually the weirdness is more depressing, not quite as whimsical as this video would lead you to believe.
America is very weird it’s my favorite thing about it.

@@crystalcavernartwork722 JUST the 2020 election? nah, american politics is always a clownshow.
America's wackiness comes from not great places, it's pretty sad most of the time. Florida man stories for example, everyone knows they're a thing, but they aren't actually funny most of the time if you think about it. Florida man stories usually involve drugs or people with mental illness
@@subtleusername5475 Yeah, the “Florida man” meme is funny until you start thinking of the underlying causes for their behaviors and realize how screwed up things can get for them to turn out this way.

@@liamross340 jenny is not a part of breadtube, she's a whimsical whatever channel, not a left wing political channel.
She is acquainted with people who would fit into breadtube, but she isn't a part of it herself.
This is one of the few vlogs I have really enjoyed in its entirety. It's just not my genre. Except for this one.
Random guy in Arizona the rest of the year: "yeah, this lady on the internet bought the giant spider. She brought cameras."
I wonder how many people in this video will discover that the strange lady they met a few weeks ago is a famous youtuber simply due to an influx of traffic heading their way lol.
much more popular than his "yeah I just get drunk and watch youtube videos even though im meant to be bartending" speech.
Personally, I’m proud to be one of Jenny’s other, smaller spiders. We number over 500,000 now, and shall soon be powerful enough to do what must be done.
Ron: "I don't like spiders"
What must be done?
Bob Johnson as a fellow spider, I understand that you’re testing my pliability. We both know, and I shall not speak of it in such a public forum as this.

This felt like a safe rollercoaster
I love the way children name their stuffed animals. She had a stuffed spider. What was his name? Spidey. I had a stuffed tiger. Any guesses? Tigey. Absolutely inspired.
I had a toy lion I called Lioney. Also, two teddy bears I gave the brilliant names “teddy 1” and “teddy 2”
My brother had a shark called Mr. Shark and a leopard called Mr. Tiger
And then there's me who named my first teddy bear "Jane." And my reindeer "Moose" because I thought he was a moose when I first got him
I had a stuffed leopard and tried to name it after the leopard in Tarzan; "Sabour". Only i was like 4 and didn't understand french so i named her "Saborg" xD (still have her!)
When I was a kid my dad bought me a fox stuffy. I named it Exit. I think my logic at the time was that foxes are red and exit signs are also red. It made sense to my child brain.
Like 3 years ago, while I was working as a waiter for a shitty buffet, a man in a wheel chair stopped me completely unprompted and in a very serious tone, asked, “son, do you know the difference between Dubai and Abu Dhabi? The people of Dubai don’t like the Flintstones, the people of YabuDhabiDoooooo” and that still makes me laugh whenever I think about it.
Underappreciated comment, I straight up snorted reading this
That man has become my new hero
Thankyou for this anecdote I treasure it
The noise I made reading this comment was inhuman. thank you :D
Some major network needs to sponsor a show where Jenny travels around the globe breaking into abandoned roadside attractions and obtaining giant plushes like Pokémon.

@@OddMike Yep. Just took her huge platform and.....used it to rant about trans women ruining everything, including about an article about menstruation that talked about "people who menstruate". Like, *this* is the hill you've decided to die on, JKR? Seriously? This one, right here?
@@menthols4625 JK is a transphobe, she hates trans-women. It's not that complicated
@@menthols4625 she literally critized an article (which had nothing to do with trans ppl btw) because it used the term “menstruating people” instead of “women”
@@menthols4625 She wrote a essay that basically said trans women are dangerous and shouldn't be allowed to live in society, and that trans men are mentally ill and should be forced to detransition. Shes rather evil.
Her previous pandering to LGBT groups was incredibly shallow and meaningless, she said Dumbledore is gay but also thought it was inappropriate to ever actually directly mention a gay relationship with in any of her works, she also said the storyline about werewolves was a metaphor for the AIDS epidemic which is incredibly homophobic if you actually stop to think about what that means.
The way Jenny finds so much joy in everything is what makes her channel my go-to when I'm feeling depressed
Oh god, that guy gate-keeping a decades-old cartoon in the closed gift shop of an abandoned theme park... sir what are you doing
That was the highlight of his year.
Only a true Flinstan would understand
wakkawakka2demo this comment made my week
It didn't come off as gate keeping though. Sounded a lot more like an age thing. "You're probably too young to have watched or have interest in the show of my childhood" or something like that, not an uncommon sentiment older generations have. It's akin to when people find it odd that younger generations become huge fans of bands that have long since been out of style. I find it more weird that people took such offense than the guy making the conjecture himself. It's such an innocuous claim
Isn't that the habitat for certain kinds of trolls?
"Something about making Hedwig impractically large, larger than an owl would ever be, was just extremely funny to me"... Says a girl with a four-foot-tall porg.
I think it's safe to say that the four-foot tall porg is also extremely funny to her.
I mean nowhere in that sentence implies she wouldn’t like to have one
And a giant tarantula
woosh
comically large owl
Jenny's dry humor is absolutely, brutally savage
I love that Jenny's channel is just propelled by the inertia of her enthusiasm about very niche interests, lol. Like I tried to describe her channel to someone once, and the best I could do was like "She's a theme park and...fandom enthusiast? Also she really likes Star Wars."
Jenny literally can't do anything without some man showing up to call her a fake fan, jesus christ.
A fake fan of *The Flintstones* of all things too!
Of course we all know that Jenny can't even name all the alley cat characters in Top Cat
imagine someone calling her a fake spider enjoyer
@@Aurelian369_ (Paige Davis has entered the chat)
Jenny doesn't understand cause and effect. She talks big game about how very few people are around her when she has her giant spider, whilst failing to consider that the presence of a giant spider might have caused the lack of people.
Aragog ate them. That's what I'm saying.
No. Aragog is far too respectfull and generous to eat another living being.
@@legrandliseurtri7495 uh
"Goodbye... friends of Jenny."
I adore the polite spider dealer with the normal-sized lint roller pressed again the GIANT SPIDER
I am so glad jenny has friends who appreciate her enthusiasm.
The Beastly wallet made me laugh for about a minute straight.
I immediately had to rewatch the video when I read this comment, I can't believe I just glossed over that on first viewing
I kinda thought that book was a chuck tingle story
I feel like "thanks to all my subspiders" was a missed opportunity.
that should be the fandom name
Underrated comment
LMAO
Can you imagine waiting like a year to sell this huge spider and then this adorable pretty woman shows up and makes the spider wave good bye to you.
The spider is as big as she is
After watching this video my daughter and I went on our own adventure from Seattle to Arizona to pick up a 10ft long WWII Submarine model. We went to the flintstones park and stayed at the crummy hotel across the state. Thanks for inspiring me. Road trips make great memories.
I can’t believe that in an abandoned theme park in the middle of nowhere in the middle of a pandemic there’s STILL a man calling any woman he sees a fake fan of something
That's the real plague tbh.
I feel like he's like a ghost or something who haunts the Flintstones fandom with his bad vibes
"Ah, but you can't *prove* beyond a reasonable doubt that it was a sexism thing! Just like you can't *prove* the cops doing horrible things are racist!"
- A bunch of people who are probably so bad at pattern recognition they see tartan and tell you your clothes have some stains on them.
@@bismuthcrystal9658 ehhhhhhh maybe don't make glib police brutality comparisons
Wait, you really can't believe it? As a man, I think you aren't a real connoisseur of bizarre fandom gatekeepers.
Jenny's excitement over the outside of a closed, defunct theme park is why I can watch her talk about anything. I hope the giant Aragog and the giant Porg have a lovely life together.
I assumed if they came to life like in toy story they'd fight but maybe they'll become romantically involved?
@@claytonberg721 Think of the beautiful children they'd have!
@@claytonberg721 At the very least, they'd make for an *awesome* buddy cop-type duo.
I hope for the next big Milestone, Jenny records their wedding
I ship it
This channel is a weird combination of extremely detailed movie analysis, star wars content and enthusiasm for theme parks or other random stuff like spiders. It works tho
it beats having random stupid Joe Rogan/Jordan Peterson/Prager U videos pop up in my recommended like the dark days of CZcams algorithms from 2015 to 2019
I love this video, my favorite part is 16:26 where Jenny is overwhelmed by love for her new spider son and embraces him
I am personally super pumped that they're turning that old Flintstones theme park into a bird conservation park.
It's really fitting to have this old dinosaur park become repopulated by living dinosaurs!
Also I just really love the way they decided to use the caveman houses as enclosures. That's just adorable.
I was thinking the same thing!
It's nice there keeping some old flintstone things
@@bepisthescienceman4202 I mean, it makes sense. It would cost more money to destroy it or haul it out. You might as well get creative with it. The birds aren't picky about kitschy housing.
@@BritneyT. I went in August 2021 and it was really sad. The bird enclosures consisted of one small perch that they were tethered to and a dirty water bowl. There were like 5 birds total and they were super far apart from each other. The vandalized and broken down flintstone memorabilia was less depressing than the treatment of the birds :/
@@sallyoldford9237 yikes :(
Imagine the choices you would have had to make in life to gatekeep the Flintstones.
If I was that guy, I would be thrilled to meet a human being under 50 who gave a shit about the Flintstones.
Lol, yeah that's bleak.
@Liam McNieve It could have been due to her age possibly? Maybe he thought she was too young to have grown up watching the flintstones
@@mikaelahill5554 It's clear that it's just this. The drama queens above you really need to sit down somewhere quiet and chill out.
@@dorksouls978 And while they do that, you need to memorize the definition of "joke" until you start to understand what it means lmao. 💀
I know this is very late, but Jenny Nicholson is so cool, it’s really refreshing seeing someone with such a love of life*
*And spiders
I've met a spider scientist. They did indeed focus on only spiders - live ones! It was a lot of identifying them in the wild and then letting them go. Live your dreams!
I am now 100% convinced every fandom of every kind has a guy standing in the corner waiting for his chance to call any woman he sees a "fake fan"
Sounds like something a fake Jenny Nicholson fan would say tbh... bet you didn't even watch the video before commenting.
;)
Makes me wonder what the fuck the guy was doing there anyways. Cause from what she was saying he didn't work there.
LMAO
I doubt it's a woman thing in this case, more that Jenny looks pretty young. Source: I'm in my mid twenties and people ~5 years older than me are routinely shocked when I say I know anything from pre-2000.
dm9910 probably a combo of the two
"You probably didn't watch Flintstones" - Yeah, cos those daily re-runs on TBS were so inaccessible. Only true fans could navigate basic cable.
Jenny Nicholson is a fantastic role model and you cannot convince me otherwise.
Jenny, you can specialize in a specific type of animal. I had a professor who was an expert on prehistoric sharks.
i like this professor.
That's AWESOME! :D
Gotta say, an abandoned Flintstones theme park in the middle of the desert that is now full of predatory birds is dope as hell
I mean, if birds really did evolve from dinosaurs, then this is somehow the most fitting thing they could have done with the space. Take out dinosaur model, insert live raptor.
"Spider dealer"
I love watching videos where people are just HAPPY and joyful about something. So this video is everything I love. Especially when the spider is acquired!
honestly half of Jenny's videos are just new lore about random obscure things that make her super happy and I live for it.
I feel like I’m just collecting Jenny lore for hopefully my own spider side quest and I’m here for it
The energy really sells it for me. I'm new to watching her videos, but I like listening to her talk about things like this because of the passion behind her words.
Rexcor Jungmir I love the passion
Jenny Nicholson is a special brand of CZcamsr- the kind of investigator who actually does *adventure!* But it’s like the pleasant, whimsical kind of adventure rather than the kind that’s only amusing because it’s shocking or dangerous, and the absolute sincerity of it all just kills me.
It's been a year and this is still my favorite video on youtube. It's an absolute adventure from start to finish. It feels like a D&D campaign.
Jenny: Goes to buy an "Extremely Large Spider"
also Jenny: He's very large!
You could say he’s “a big man”
it's really heavy
I would sue for false advertisement.
When horses or donkeys bite you like that, it's because they are trying to groom you. Basically, the donkey was returning the favor of you petting him.
omg thats so cute
keep that in mind when I next run into a roaming gang of feral donkeys
🥺
This made my day, thank you.
I love this so much.
I love how your inner child doesn't stop you, taking a giant spider with you out in public (well sorta) and not being afraid to have fun with it, I admire that, I am like that but I would be self-conscience, its a great quality that puts a smile on ur face. And for living in the desert myself, yup, lots of old historic areas, giant wild spiders, snakes, scorpions, the whole shibang!
Holy crap. I thought this would be a video about her trying to find a giant spider. I didn't realize it would fill the wanderlust hole in my heart and simultaneously spark my desire for adventure. All as a result of wanting a large plush spider.
Donkeys, Flintstones, cowboys, haunted hotels, spiders, trains, abandoned theme parks...this video literally has everything.
I read this in the voice of Stefan from SNL, which is how I am really hoping you meant it to be. :)
OWLS!
......KEVIN?!?
Stephen Gilbert “New York’s hottest new club is “Man Sized Spider,” this place has everything...”
You have the most charming and unusual personality I've ever encountered. I've never known another adult who has managed to retain an authentically childlike and unironic enthusiasm for life. It is utterly enchanting. Best of all, you have shown me that it is silly and at least mildly self-abusive for us adults to cast off our spontaneity and our unselfconscious love of life...including the ordinary parts. I'm always pleased to see that you've posted another video on CZcams, and I'm genuinely grateful for the effort you invest in making them. Thank you!
This is a really lovely comment. I love Jenny, she's so charming and funny and very unique.
I genuinely smiled reading this. Keep the dream alive man! The child version of us never really goes, it's always a part of us!
This is so sweet. She genuinely seems like a wonderful person and so caring with the donation to the charity. Especially because of how JK Rowling is transphobic. Your comment made my day!!!
Same!
One of my biggest fears of growing up is to lose my Energy, Enthusiasm, and the childhood wonder of trying new things and the drive to explore.
Really dont wanna be another faceless worker in a monotonous society. Jaded, Worn out and tired , with very little time left to do the stuff i really love.
Jenny reminds me that its possible to be a succesful adult and still have that Childlike wonder ✨
This is exactly how i feel! Thank you for putting it into words.
It gives me such joy that you’ve given this Aragog a new, happy and loving home! Hearing his origin story made it all the more sweet, spent all his time being feared and now he gets to go out on the town and be shown a good time AND he gets to learn how to play pool!🥰
Jenny: "Don't get used to vlog content like this"
Also Jenny: "4 hour video of Evermore paro with two hours dedicated to vlog"
