I went to high school with "Dhar Mann" and have seen his progression since that time. All I can say is that every time I see someone posting his videos I cringe. He's maybe the fakest person I've ever known in my life. Always has been about false appearances. To me, he'll always be the high school bathroom weed dealer.
Was he really?!
@@isabellalora6533 true facts of life 💯
@@calikid666 Well, he'd have to be stoned to make these awful videos and to think anyone would get anything out of it. Having said that, I do think they're unintentionally hysterical and should be shown as midnight movies somewhere. 😄😄😄😄😄
Well hello👀
Damn 😂😂😂
Dr. Grande is out here simultaneously explaining the psychology of this person and his content while also doing a stand-up style dry roast. We love to see that versatility 😍
He’s getting better and better.
Yep! I've just subbed, this channel is gold!
He's flexible like that.
Yup. That's why I like this guy.
Anyone can do that sitting there all day writing your “funny” lines
“The person who writes for fools is always sure of a large audience.” ― Arthur Schopenhauer
I noticed my 11 year old sister started consuming his content at an alarming rate last year. I happened to watch a few videos with her on visits ti my parents’ house and the cringe was beyond anything a reasonable person could be expected to withstand. I took special exception to how he depicted women (read: gold diggers who’ll get what’s coming to them, even the little girls) but I figured I wouldn’t ruin it for her because she’s just a kid.
I then started to realize that he makes this content for a predominantly younger audience with the aim of informing morality, and that because she’s a child, she may not realize that it’s utter garbage and start to base her world view on what she was seeing being depicted on the screen. Eventually I sat her down and essentially told her that life doesn’t work remotely how he depicts it to, that people and situations are more nuanced, and recommended that she continued watching for entertainment purposes and not through the lens of trying to make sense of real world situations and human interaction. I don’t live with her, so I can’t be sure, but I sincerely hope she took my words to heart and doesn’t watch his videos as much anymore.
LOL at "the cringe was beyond anything a reasonable person could be expected to withstand." You have a way with words!
I banned my 7 year from watching them.
i really like the way you described these things to her! you’re a great sibling
You did the right thing💗
I assume you do this with all the other content she views that's also shaping her world view but is also unrealistic. 🙄
Dhar Mann is basically the modern day equivalent of '80s and '90s after school specials about the dangers of drugs.
Nailed it
So perfect!
Why do an analysis though? His channel is not harmful.
They were less cringey
DARE Mann
I can't count how many times I've told my kids watching Dar Mann, "that's not what happens in real life."
You see the one with the guy and his chubby gf? There's a part where they bump into his black friend and his gf. I really thought guy was gonna lean in and say "a white girl... nice". The writing was so unrealistic my brain was looking for ways to make it sound like how two men would actually eff with each other. But there's a part where he's publicly fat shaming his gf. I was like "in real life he'd be stabbed with a spoon "
Why do you allow them to watch such garbage ?
@@jesussaves7973 so I can teach them how to recognize garbage through critical thinking. You know, things like organized religion.
@@jesussaves7973 She doesn't.They sneak. My two kids are grown now bt they did the same things. All their peers do it as well. It's part of the agony pf parenting, especially in this online age where if they want to see something, THEY WILL.
@@TheGenxennial so you don't have to watch them is more likely.
Your dry, straight to the point humor is hilarious
No instantly regret there !
"Most valuable life lessons cannot be taught through emotions." Thank you for that, Dr.Grande. It's a wise and helpful observation, and one I haven't heard before. It's also something worth repeating, because all sorts of human relationships can find themselves running up against the problem of emotional manipulation. If we are unaware, we might even be doing it ourselves without realizing this is our real intent!
Great point !
💯💯👍
That dude's haircut alone should be considered a felony. I've never heard of this guy. Now that I have, I instantly regret it.
Avoid his videos. They chase you forever
@@barbieblue3336 LOL! Will do.
Check the image of Paytas he used. What a laugh.
Sorta looks like Popeye, the sailor Mann. Ha, ha! I don't care for the look, mate. Douche Mann, he is!!!
I've lived in Oakland my entire life and have never heard of him. Thankfully. Lol. 😜
“The ACE family, a channel that inadvertently showcases the financial failings of a California family”… man I love your synopsis and witty, sarcastic, dry humor and delivery. So happy I found your channel months ago!
I’ve never heard of this human so I went to his channel whilst listening to your video. I couldn’t bring myself to click on anything, but I peeped the viewcounts and whoa!!! They each amass a good 10-15 million views. Dude is mega rich money wise, clearly not wealthy morally.
My suspicion is that the vast majority of his views and comments are from bots which he pays for.
If you want to see how horrible the videos are without giving him views, check out Jarvis Johnson's channel - he did an entertaining review of Dhar Man. I think Danny Gonzalez might also have one. His messages are actually terrible and always focus on revenge or reward, no real lessons about just doing the right thing and being a good person 🙄. It is disheartening that he has such a big platform.
@@anatoliagolden-hall4553 I hope you’re right about the bots. Otherwise, if that many people watch those videos and follow this Man guy, then that is more disturbing than the videos themselves.
This is how he attracts views too. Many watch and laugh, and to be honest I do prefer that people watch his content because it's so bad, than go and watch Nickocado Avocado because of his bad content. Nobody is really hurt in the process in the case of Dhar Man (did I spell that right?), while there are many others that we really shouldn't give our attention at all.
@@anatoliagolden-hall4553 I think most of them are bots from Asia I know we all don’t have the same standard morals but his videos are pretty cringe. I can’t imagine that many people tuning in for the same thing
I would much rather watch you discuss psychology than watch any of these "influencers" Thank you for the amazing, high quality, thought out content. Very good!
Very true , well said...
I wanna give a special shout-out to how you not just roast DM, but also go over why he is problematic artistically and morally.
"Feel good nonsense" is the phrase that always that came to mind every time I saw a Dhar Mann video
I once tried to 'sculpt' my hair perfectly just like Dhar Mann. I instantly regretted it.
He looks like a pinhead. You should avoid that
You look good the way you are!
I see what you did there... 🤣💯
🤣😂🤣💥🔥
He looks like a character from The Hunger Games LOL
Dr. Grande is a savage. Your dry humor always makes me laugh!
The dry roast is STRONG with this one. Just one of the many reasons we love Dr. Grande. Thank you for your content. It never ceases to entertain and educate your audience.
I was laughing so hard at this video - how can Dr Grande keep a straight face with such brilliant delivery
It’s almost as impressive as his behavioral knowledge lol
@@SethMacLeod95 IKR!
At first I thought you said “such brilliant devilry.” You wouldn’t be wrong.
You can catch a wry smile at 6:21. I laughed too!
On the subject of instant regret: "This part does seem to accurately reflect my experience after watching several of his videos - I regretted it each time." Brilliant! Keep it up, Doc!
My roommate and I watch these when we need a good, quick laugh. I'm a *little* disappointed that you didn't throw in a "so you see" at the end. But this was still great to watch.
I see
Don't worry, that was my comment
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
It would have been hilarious if he did. What a shame to miss such a good opportunity
Omg that really would've been the cherry on top 😂
I think his success proves how starved people are of positive stories. They are will to watch even bad scripted ones for a dose of positivity.
"The biggest surprise one could hope for, after watching the videos, is not becoming nauseated."
...Tell us how you REALLY feel, Doc!
“Why are so many people fascinated with this unsophisticated view of morality, what does it say about the current culture?”- That’s a profound question that makes us reflect on people’s thinking abilities. I believe that apart from the fact that many of us tend to act by emotions as it is, very few people actively seek ways to have a better understanding of life. Reading, writing and conducting respectful debate are being replaced with fast and superficial information paired with knee-jerk reactions that only highlight our immaturity and lack of critical thinking skills. Unfortunately, that’s a sad reality.
Fascinating analysis Dr. Grande, thank you.❤️
I always thought the videos were targetting kids or a joke. Wow, are they supposed to be serious and geared toward adults?! Yikes!! Oh well, I guess they have good messages.
I don’t think culture has changed. People has been always attracted to people like this over the years.
Well-said!
Instant gratification appeals to short attention spans. There's no instant gratification in reading, writing, and respectful debate. It requires much less mental work to take a side with a character in a brief clip.
I guess that shouldn't surprise me because that's a recurring theme in humanity. And this Dhar dude clearly knows there will always be an audience for this infantilizing straw-man justice type of crap. But just seeing this guy brazenly exploiting the classic formula is insulting enough that I refuse to even click where I see him. I'll give clicks to people like Dr. Grande and others because there's underlying knowledge/qualification/talent that contributes to an ongoing dialogue. And a cohesive raison d'être that goes beyond appealing to the lizard brain with flashy production and easily digestible one-off scenarios. His popularity speaks to a massive gap in information literacy.
I guess what I'm really saying is I'm too easily annoyed and passive-aggressively punitive to support content like Dhar's and I'm shocked more people don't feel the same way lol. Anyway cheers
@JCK I'm pretty sure they are watched by ESL people from countries like India or something
I think what makes Dhar Mann's videos so popular and easy to like is that they're unrealistically fair. Unrealistic, but fair, which life is unfortunately not to a lot of people. People don't immediately change after learning a lesson, let alone even learn the lesson in the first place. The assholes sometimes don't get what they deserve, the poor sometimes don't rise up from their poverty, the innocent sometimes get into tragedies for no reason whatsoever.
Dhar Mann's videos don't reflect that, but instead paints a perfect world where everyone gets what they deserve, consequences always happen, and lessons are always learned.
Sometimes?
Dhar Mann's videos are popular because they're accessible to everyone. Available in numerous languages, simple plots that a 3 year old can understand and content that is rated for everyone. There are kids in some corner of the world who probably learn how to speak English watching dharr Mann videos
I stopped watching a long time ago, and commented on how adoption doesn't work the way he portrayed it in his videos. I also wrote a negative comment on how he baits the viewers by asking them to choose a title, then chooses what he wants anyway. My comments were not well received by The Mann Team". He posted how he honored an actor who die by visiting the family on anniversary of actor's death. I could see how DM was rooting his own horn. Also, he featured a photo of he and his partner in Paris. Viewers showered him with comments about the happiness of their marriage, allowing viewers to think "the couple" with two kids and a house together are husband and wife when, in reality, they are not. To me, it's all willful deception. Lies seem to come in many forms from DM,. He seems to capitalize on showcasing his wealth and status to impress those viewers he knows qre not as well off. I agree with Dr. Grande that most of what DM produces and posts is far from the truth of reality. Sad facts indeed about DM's criminal history. Now that I know, I don't regret speaking up about him nor even against his more recent posted activities whose values seem "off" and IMO are noticably misaligned.
Sounds like dr gande is jealous of his CZcams success. You’re not even 1/14th of his value/success
Analyze you’re d0uche self next, doc
It's basically Aesop's fables but in a modern American setting on CZcams for the Tiktok Generation.
I refer to this as emotional porn. And there's absolutely NO person of good moral character who produces such drivel.
Oh and he makes oversimplified poorly written, badly acted videos because he is well aware most people are dumb enough to like it.
There is.
It's called impaulsive.
Not “people”- little children. And that is a special kind of evil, to suck little children into your bs and feed them emotional garbage when they don’t understand what is happening to them
Indeed
It makes you believe that if someone treats you poorly that karma will magically come along and fix it, and that "bad" person will come to see the error of their ways and we'll all be happy now. Sadly, there are many people who think this way and, instead of making changes or cutting ties with toxic people, they just wait around for that random magic to make that person "see the light".
I just watched a couple of his latest videos for the first time. I'm speechless. What I found the most disturbing were the positive comments from people who take these cringe worthy videos seriously. At times, it felt like I was watching an SNL skit!
I always thought these videos were some indian english students project as the dialog is so stilted it doesnt sound like anything a native english speaker would produce.
He deletes negative comments.
@@andrewbellinger6120 I'd like to see who his actual viewers are because it really does seem like they are non-english speaking and wouldn't pick up on how bad the dialog and acting really is. It's like porn, it's straight to the point. Except I'd argue porn has better voice acting...
@@yeezynapkins2970 they’re kids
It’s worth noting that his channel’s success and the upvoting of certain comments is probably helped along by the use of large numbers of bots. At least, one would think so.
Dr. Grande, you crack me up while making valid points. Thank you.
the driest of humor
So funny lol
like how he keeps the straight face
I was laughing so hard 😂
@@yonyonyon4220 ,
Your style is changing from straight-up dry psychoanalysis to some kind of subtle comedy roast. I love seeing these "influencers" getting roasted 👍
Dr Grande, I love how you avoid fence sitting and assert valid criticism in a reasonable fashion.
Out of all of the criminals and murderers you’ve analyzed, I regret learning of this person the most. I just watched one video for context and I’m positive that slamming my head into a wall for the same length of time would’ve been less damaging to my brain.
i'm about to watch one of the videos just for context. unfortunately, i have just finished dinner and i'm hoping i can keep it down.
I think I’ll refrain from watching any of Mann’s videos as I don’t want to get nauseous nor go to bed with regrets.
At least you're positive, right? Haha
I was going to watch one, but just the titles and thumbnails nauseated me.
@@fedos i found a short one and it was the stupidest and longest 9 minutes of my life.
It’s astounding to me how there are billions that work 50 plus hours a week breaking their backs and die broke. Then we have tik tokkers and creators like Dharr who make garbage or do stupid poor dance moves to random songs and make millions.
It's really not fair, is it? At least all the people who worked hard during their lives can die satisfied knowing they actually made a positive difference in the world instead of being addiction enablers for quick dopamine hits.
If you can sleep at night ripping people off or selling your soul, you can do it to. But I'm glad we all like sleeping at night.
It takes a very large amount of work to run a successful CZcams channel.
It’s immoral to sell cheap revenge packaged as “morality” to children. So he is an evil pig in that respect, but don’t think he isn’t working very diligently.
Most people do not have the necessary work ethic to have that kind of success.
There’s likely a correlation between the two. People who work their asses off all week want to come home at night and passively consume brainless content, because that’s all they have the energy to do. Tik Tok and CZcams are just new versions of the same old pastimes of the exhausted working class.
Legal Eagle did a breakdown of one of Mann’s videos involving a legal setting…it was atrocious on all points, and for the reasons you succinctly described. 🤢 The fact that Mann is popular erodes my faith in humanity even further.
My son watches his videos and also has developmental delays. I often catch the storyline and chuckle at how simplistic and ridiculous they are. I'm going to start explaining to my son that these are for entertainment purposes only and not how things really work. As he ages, I'll try to incorporate more information and nuance although I've always thought the reason DM's videos appeal to him was because of his delays. Interesting.
This is unintentionally an amazing burn to dm
You should be a woman working with spoiled, entitled
Female co workers. They are
Mean , lazy, manipulative,
Bullies just like depicted on
DM videos. Left alone without

Destroy a company.
Dr. Grande, one of the many things I love in your shows and I appreciate from you is that, unlike content creators of instant gratification or instant public shaming, you trust that your audience is able to follow along. Essentially, thank you for *not* assuming we are stupid, but rather that people are capable of understanding you.
Yes
Highbrow entertainment is the best kind of entertainment.
Absolutely agree. I have ceased watching many shows because I find them insulting.
I think I seen one with a restaurant owner refuses to hire a homeless man and instantly regrets it. It reminded me of watching the GI Joe cartoons as a kid and seeing the “And Knowing is Half the Battle” safety tips at the end of each episode.
So you see ........🤦🏽🤣
@ Alethia Millner - Yep🤣
I just found your channel last night and I can't stop watching and laughing. I love your straight up dry delivery.
Omg I think this is the first time I've seen you deliberately roast someone, in a very educated manner. This is so out of nowhere 😆
I have watched several of Dhar Mann’s videos and to hear that he is such a scammer and was charged with 13 felonies makes him even more then a hypocrite then I thought he was! I mean he is putting out this content basically trying to tell people how to be good people and he is a HORRIBLE person! Wow SICK!
Maybe hes changed and wants to pay it forward?
Yes it’s almost as if his morality based content is part of his marketing strategy to make money on CZcams. Like he’s capitalizing on being a good person, Morality sells. He’s a sick capitalist.
@shannon w, This info about Dhar Mann surprised me. On second thought, it no longer surprises me. For $$$ and popularity, anyone can pretend to have morals.
13 I did not know.....wow
I watched a few of them on facebook. After watching a few, they became very predictable.
Humor as dry as Death Valley. Love it!!
I love how calm you are it’s so easy to listen to♥️
They remind me of the little “improving” stories I used to read in Sunday School classes. Unrealistic, completely without nuance, always making some sort of simplistic point. We used to point out the idiocy, make jokes about them and mock them. Dhar Mann stories are almost identical, it’s uncanny! On top of this he can’t even string a realistic sentence together and he has no respect for either his poor, long-suffering actors or his viewers. I have no idea how he managed to get himself such a huge following.
I started watching the one about the guy in the rock band who uses a rich girl to buy him all the stuff he wants. I couldn’t bear it.
Well, there is a a lesson to be learned. Namely, why rip off the city for a measly few thousand dollars in phony expenses when you can make millions pandering to people’s immaturity?
Mann is no longer breaking the law, but he’s causing a lot more damage.
"What do you call a drummer who doesn't have a girlfriend?" ----- "Homeless."
I agree, I think people use his over the top examples to justify their bad behavior because they say to themselves "I am not that bad, so I am not wrong and don't have to change" and actually fosters more "subtle" terrible behaviors.
@@stevenvandorn8500 never underestimate the power of stupid people, their numbers are massive nowadays.
There was a reason he included that part. Dr Grande is telling a story, too albeit subtly. One that does not insult our intelligence whilst trying to tell the facts but also show a narrative arc, which you have successfully deduced.:)
@@stevenvandorn8500 that was one of the main points of the video. You may be able to deduce this, that those stories are too simplistic. But a younger/more naïve Mind might not be able to. It’s at least something to think about. I don’t even know who this is so I don’t hate him but I know there’s truth in what he saying.
If you want to have a very crude analogy, there are certain alcoholic drinks that are very sweet and fruity and easy to tolerate and there has been a lot of discussion around limiting their advertising towards children and teenagers. In that case there was regulation. With Dr. grande saying something similar if you’re aiming something to children you should consider their cognitive level and how they might not be able to See something that seems obvious or even ridiculous to you. Not because of their own failure but because of the developmental stage they are in. Furthermore someone who explicitly targets people in that manner generally knows what they’re doing. Just like those ads knew what they were doing.
I mean, in the 80's we had a fair amount of content like this from Afterschool Specials to Very Special Episodes of shows, to the moralizing aftershow tags of cartoons like G.I. Joe and MASK. But I agree that the skip-to-the-end instant karma of Dhar Mann does present an unrealistic view of how justice in the real world works. I feel proud that my teenaged children already realize what his videos are, and aren't, and can have a good chuckle at them.
I like that GI Joe taught things like how to rescue a boy who has fallen on thin ice - by both giving him and not giving him a stick.
You’re a bad parent
@@truelies9187 Nasty remark.
do you remember that one bullying video where the kid gets picked on at recess and runs out into the road and gets hit by a car.
I remember at one point, a new kid in his class, a fat kid, actually befriended him, and was talking about ice cream, with sprinkles and chocolate syrup and fudge and cherries and so on lol
Jarrod Davis in the 80’s we had content like that. Now that we’ve gotten rid of that kind of content look where we are, music that is so sexually explicit it could be rated X and kids shooting each other over a dirty look. The message in the media has a HUGE affect on society.
You summarized everything perfectly and accurately! I also had no idea about his background. That was eyebrow raising to say the least! Thank you for this video!
Something about you roasting this guy so calmly and matter of factly just brings me joy
I've never even heard of this guy! Hearing how *massively popular* he is in comparison to Trisha Paytas, the Ace Family, and Mr. Beast just exemplifies how vast the world of social media is and much content is out there. Thanks for an excellent analysis.
The world of social media is so vast and varied, in fact, that I’ve never heard of any of the content creators you mentioned. 🤣 And I’m sure they’re huge.
when families like the Kardashians have influence and support from the world…. u kno we are not doing well as a human race
Invisible MissX, or, 'ya know, exemplifies how easy it is to fake the number of subscribers and number of views..
Dr. Grande, thank you for letting us know what a fraudulent person Dhar Man really is. But my biggest thank you is to have some one agree his show should be titled Getting Even.
His videos 📹 cause no harm. They're just cheesy
Fraudulent 😂😂
Helix Moore, his videos promote getting even.
I remember "getting even!!"
Sounds like dr gande is jealous of his CZcams success. You’re not even 1/14th of his value/success
Analyze you’re d0uche self next, doc
This guy is roasting Darr Mann so calmly it’s hilarious
I love the subtle holiday lights in the background, Dr. Grande. Happy Year!
Dhar Mann’s videos are like the equivalent to Hallmark Christmas movies, fantasy feel-good, corny nonsense.
The plots on both are too easily predictable!
Dr. Grande, you’re the real MVP coming in strong with the dry humor, Savage roasting and factual points. 🔥
Major respect to Dr Grande! Always displaying incredible knowledge and comedic talent making every video an absolute delight!
I have been lurking here for a couple weeks. I love the deadpan humor you throw into your interesting analysis. Subscribed.
Another element in his videos that I am concerned about is the way he portrays outward wealth and stability - expensive purses, shoes, cars - that those things make you somehow more successful and therefore “better.” It runs through every video in some way or another. Maybe that’s the culture he wants to project or it’s a mirror of society, but either way I don’t think it’s very healthy one for his audience to absorb.
I was wondering how Dar Mann can get so many views when I realized, "wait a sec are these the video that pop up on the Facebook newsfeed?"
He's probably using them in his videos so he can write all that expensive stuff on his taxes.
Stability is extremely important to kids and successful families, though it has nothing to do with wealth and the trinkets that show it off. Maybe he's using these to signal that stable families become successful families often, but it would be better to show people getting on with their lives, happy and stable even if they don't have any money. There are countless poor families who are supportive and love each other, and plenty of wealthy, alienated people.
He’s a spoilt rich kid and assumes all are, I am but I spat my silver spoon out
So you're not rich anymore but are you still spoilt?
The good thing about the counselor experiencing regret is that she or he will be able to access coping skills and engage in appropriate self-care to deal with it.
🤣
An added layer of comedy! Good one!😂
XD!!!
That's a wonderful video review... Love your sense of humor
Great video 💯 them videos are straight up comedy and the way they end the outro is so guts 🤣🤣🤣
Afternoon Dr. G. - Your comment that “California just operates differently…across many dimensions, not just the criminal justice system,” had me chuckling. Having spent several years in Cali, the state truly does operate across endless dimensions. As always, thank you for the post.
That's the beauty of having state's rights.
I really love how you conveyed my feelings about these garbage videos. I "Discovered" Dahr Mann a few years, just out of boredom, clicked on one of his videos on Facebook, and the cringe was laughable at first, but after watching a few in a self punishing manner, I had to stop. Especially after reading the comments. It is insane, how many people think this dude is inspiring 😳 😒
Dhar man videos are NOT trash.
Because trash is actually good, it's reuseable and recycable, but His videos are so much worse than rubbish.
Because his videos are literally ALMOST not useful at all and that's way worse than a trash can.
@@kartikadewi3270 It’s ridiculous that anyone over 5 would learn something morally from his videos. If his videos inspire an adult not to be a menace to the public they’ve already failed as a human being.
@@DrVincentDoom You could be right unless if they got the inspiration from The 1st dhar mann video that is 1/506 , I respect that honestly.
Oh they're so so so bad. Like church play levels of bad. I'm surprised they're not on Pure Flix. This is cracking me up! I've watched 2 of those videos. Ouch.
@@kartikadewi3270 I stand corrected 🤣😂🤣😂

Huge respect doc. I’m so jealous at you’re ability to keep a straight face while roasting.
Dr. Grande places sarcasm in his analysis of certain topics with surgical precision.
Your dry humor single-handedly carrying our crappy new year with growing omicron cases and looming lockdowns. Keep 'em coming, Dr. Grande!
I love the title you used in this 😂
Also something you said really struck a chord. What you said about change happening with flexible thinking and hard work? That is something that has been a huge lesson for me, as someone who has had life throw some very unusual circumstances my way. Being flexible and working hard is what has gotten me and my loved ones through the hardest challenges of our lives. It hasn't been a simple process at all. It takes a lot of work.
Dr. Grande, I wish to articulate my appreciation for your videos. Your dry wit and nuanced analysis always keep them entertaining while being informative.
Out of curiosity, I watched a few videos. The 1st was completely inane and unengaging; the second, actually painful to watch - the actors also seemed to be in pain; the third- much different (surprisingly, especially after the awfulness of the first two videos I watched- I must have stumbled across the only half-decent video he’s ever made!). But what really struck me was the comments- teenagers (the comments are clearly not written by adults, and adults are not his target audience anyway) are falling all over themselves, thanking him for changing their lives and really believe he’s a decent person trying to help them. The fawning is intense. My concern is the same as Dr. Grande’s- things do NOT work like this in real life- but the stories are presented as real-life situations. Things are never as obvious or as easily resolved in real life. If teenagers buy into the idea this his videos represent real-life situations, and the “bad guys” always get what they deserve, Dhar Mann is setting these kids up to be unprepared for the real world, and may end up making them vulnerable and naive- the opposite of what he claims to do. Maybe if every video didn’t end this way every time, I could see it- a little. But his “happy endings” (bad people getting what they deserve) - this basically never happens in real life, period. Life does NOT work that way.
Also… it’s a bit disturbing, based on the comments, that teens are saying they are actually learning from his videos. Everything he presents are things kids should know and understand by the time they are teenagers. Where are these kids parents..? Yikes.
Duh, if you want something that serious go watch a medical documentary or date line or something like that. His videos have a short, positive message that engage people. I’m glad kids watch this instead of some other stuff out there.
@@patriziacathey605 : Excellent insight! I completely agree!
@@mindisflowershop2017 : Um… did you actually watch this video? Did you read my entire comment? Your reply is missing the mark. My biggest concern is NOT the videos- it’s the comments left by his teenage audience. As I stated above, these ‘super grateful’ comments show that something is amiss in these kids’ lives. What the videos present are all things any kid old enough to write a comment should already have been taught, or understand. But clearly, that is not the case. Their parents and families should be instilling these basic moral values, respectful behavior, and consequences in their children. Not Dhar Mann.
Just because kids could be watching other, less appropriate videos, does not make these videos OK by comparison. Two bad things, with one being slightly better than the other, is still two bad things. These type of videos present a false narrative of how the world works- to growing, learning - and vulnerable - young people. That is NOT a good thing. If you still don’t get that, then read some of the comments on his videos. It’s disturbing.
Sounds like the start of a cult.
He creates lowest common denominator viewing. He doesn't appear to respect his viewers' intelligence, and apparently he's right.
Never underestimate the intelligence of the general public
Lol. In Darman's videos everyone always apologises. Darman video: "I am so sorry for the way I treated you. Can u please forgive me?"
Reality: I am not sorry because I haven't done anything wrong, it's your fault!
Darman must be making videos for liberals 🤣
On second thought, videos like these can be thought of as a type of modern fairy tale. As such, they are subject to fairy tale rules - the bad guy or gal, the one creates the injustice, gets their comeuppance quickly and definitively. These would not necessarily create the kind of issue Dr. Grande raises, in which the viewer expects the rational world to operate in the same way, because on a basic level, the non-rational world in which the fairy tale operates is understood. If a young girl and her grandmother went missing in the rational world, no one would think that having a wood-cutter chop open the nearest wolf would bring them back to life, but in some versions of Little Red Riding Hood that's exactly what happens. Cartoons tend to operate in this non-rational reality, as well. If Wyle E. Coyote drops an anvil off of a cliff, it's perfectly natural in his non-rational world that the anvil would be intercepted by a series of obstructions and circumstances that would make Rube Goldberg proud and end up landing on his head. In our rational world, not even a child would expect that to happen - if a person dropped a rock out of a window, someone else would get hurt and the perpetrator might never even be caught. What cartoon and fairy tale morality drives home, however, is the feeling that that person should be caught. That's a feeling that all of us living in the rational world can get behind.
Exactly what I've been saying for years Dr Grande. Dhar Mann's video content is a simplistic, revenge filled, dichotomous view on morality in reality and doesn't show how human beings actually function or go about resolving issues in an unnatural way. Anyway what do you think about the Elizabeth Holmes case. That's what she gets scamming investors and especially patients out of millions of dollars. If George Bush can become President since he's a Rhodes scholar from Yale then I guess anything's possible with Elizabeth Holmes and her Theranos BS plus Dhar Mann's videos with CRINGE OVERACTED REHASHED STORYLINES 😂. This has nothing to do with the video but please listen if you want to otherwise leave it alone and ignore it. Hello my name is Justin and I'm a Christian and Apologist but I'm also a college student. I'm not a closed minded Theist as I have nothing against Atheists or unbelievers as I speak to them often to understand their reasons for unbelief but we as Christians are convinced of God's Existence due to many real factors). I'm not trying to convert anyone or convince anyone to become Christians as that's The Holy Spirit's job to help people believe but only explain why I believe in Jesus Christ. There's actually evidence of God's Existence in Christianity. First of all there's proof that Jesus of Nazareth existed in history since the writings of Tacitus, Josephus Flavius, Pliny the younger and other historical documents prove that He was living two thousand years ago that even scholars both religious and Atheists agree with historically speaking but not that He's The Divine Son of God because obviously they don't.
I'm going to give you historical and archeological evidence for God's Existence as The Scriptures have prophecies that predate the events recorded in them by several millennia including Matthew, Hosea and Zechariah which prophesy accurately of the people of Israel becoming a nation again after over 1900 years of being scattered around the nations since the destruction of the Temple in Jerusalem in 70 A.D. spoken of by Christ in Matthew 23:29-24:3 and returning to their homeland after The Holocaust with Jerusalem as their capital in 1948 exactly as Jesus The Christ said. The prophets including Daniel spoke of the time where several world empires would arise and fall including the Babylonian kingdom, Medes and Persians, Roman Empire, and Saladin and the Muslims which went in consecutive order for the past few millennia. The people of Israel becoming a nation after The Holocaust in 1948 (ironically the melting point of gold as God compares Israel to gold that's tested in fire in Zechariah 13:8 and Jeremiah 16:15) exactly how Jesus The Christ said would happen since God us everything to come in The Scriptures and not just because people were working towards as Atheists claim which are impossible for any regular man to predict.
Just before anyone says Christianity is a white man's religion made to oppress blacks during slavery you obviously aren't aware that the first Christians were Jews in The Middle East and that Christianity just like any religion can be used by evil and corrupt people to oppress others but you forget that the first Abolitionists/Civil Rights activists were Christians who sought to abolish slavery, racism, segregation, injustice and prejudice throughout American history. Jesus The Christ loves you enough not to give you what we all deserve which is God's Wrath by His Own Blood. Charles Darwin didn't originally come up with The Theory of Evolution over 200 years ago as it is mentioned in the writings of Ancient Greeks who believed in Demons that gave knowledge to philosophers.
Evolution makes no sense when nothing has evolved after thousands of years of human history and supposedly the first creature came from primordial sludge several millions of years
ago funny how they won't believe that God an Eternal Almighty Spirit Being created us from the Earth) which came from a supermassive expansion of matter at high temperature that inexplicably created everything in the known universe that supposedly came from nothing billions of years ago. How did the organs evolve before there were bones, skin, substance and how did any creatures see before eyes evolved? I've studied evolution and abiogenesis in the past and read Darwin's " Origin of The Species" I've studied evolution and abiogenesis in the past and read Darwin's " Origin of The Species" and I'm not convinced of but not macro or micro Evolution because there's no evidence of it nor clear observable examples of it where living creatures evolve into other kinds of species plus the fact that fossils don't show evidence of evolution and genetic entropy rules out evolution. The question begs how did two genders evolve from a common ancestor with a perfectly hospitable and sustainable environment with breathable oxygen and resources to survive on inexplicably? Atheists have the burden of proof to explain how everything came to be and why our existence is possible without the Existence of God from an godless perspective just as Christians have to provide evidence of God's Existence and the validity of His Word.
Evolution requires life to already exist in order to take any effect in living organisms so it doesn't account for the existence of Life and reality. Also evolution is impossible because it goes against The Law of entropy and the second Law of thermodynamics because evolution makes things better whereas nothing continues to get better but decays and turns to absolute destruction in the end. Mark Ridley an Evolutionist said "No evolutionist whether gradualist or punctuationist uses the fossil record as evidence in favor of The Theory of Darwinian Evolution as opposed to special Creation". God's Existence is made perfectly known and observable in the universe as demonstrated in His Handiwork in the intelligently designed manner that Creation was made, human consciences and consciousness historical and archaeological evidence of God's Word being valid history, fulfillment of Bible Prophecies God in His Holiness and Righteousness could give us what we deserve in Hell for our since but He's merciful to give us free will to choose to accept or reject His gift of salvation by grace through faith in His Son Jesus. I don't mean this is any condescending manner but if you'd like to discuss The Scriptures with me or have me listen to your view on anything my instagram account is Savage Christian Kombatant.
I work with a woman who compulsively watches Dhar Mann videos and she is honestly one of the nastiest meanest people I've ever met.....I see her everyday, glued to her phone, gnawing on beef jerky while she soaks up every bit of that drivel..... I usually just turn around and go hide in my office until she has to go do some actual work..... it's absolutely frightening.......
Perfect analysis so insightful and interesting I have seen the said videos and I couldn't articulate my thoughts as masterfully as you have done. Thank you for such amazing content you make CZcams an amazing place
“Children and *teenagers…* ”
Sir, as a member of this here mentioned community we are not fooled. I remember when I first heard of Dhar man I just thought, “What!?” And laughed.
I've watched some of his videos on impulse before. I quickly realized how terrible they were, but i watched them until the end.
I equate it to seeing an accident on the side of the highway, you know it's bad but you can't look away. You're compelled to see it out of some sort of morbid curiosity.
Darr Mann doesn't really believe he's changing lives. He cares about getting views and cashing in. Its the same reason reality TV does so well.
But why should we care about DM's motives for making 'positive' videos? I just watched a YT short of someone berating a cop in uniform for his disability... I'm not even pro-cop, but that infuriated me, smh. I'd rather see some positive skit with instant gratification if that's the case.
I feel sad that you know it's a waste of time and do it anyway. Sorry that you don't value your own time more than watching garbage that infects your brain.
@@corlenajames1381 the reason people pay attention is because he's so successful
@@corlenajames1381 Watching CZcams shorts was your first mistake
@@kevinross6235 Same video can also be found on 'Tic-kle Toc-kle', FB, Twits, etc... But for your sake, we'll pretend where I saw the recording was the actual problem😉🙃 lol
Instant gratification is a powerful tool. Easy to deliver is a short clip. I think you nailed this one!
That title hahahah 🤣 great video! Your channel is really one of my favorites!
This is going to be amazing, I can feel it. My bestie since Jr. High and I have re-bonded over your videos. Dr. Grande: bringing people together. Only virtually. Because, you know. Pandemic.
Aww! So lovely ☺️
How does it feel?
" instantly regrets it!!" love it!
That's awesome for you. I hope things go great with your friend!
There's a pandemic? You don't say.
Thank you for the analysis, Dr. Grande, and thank you for not judging the actors in those awful videos. It's nearly impossible for actors or directors to make bad dialogue and scenes look natural. The best of the best can make it tolerable at best, but they can't make miracles happen. I have only seen 2 of Dhar Mann's videos years ago, and I still cringe at the plotlines and dialogue.
Even the title of this one is hilarious !! You never let me down Dr G!!!
"So you see", CZcamsrs and other social media platform users really don't care about the nuances of the video's; they just want to be quickly entertained.
I love how you never hold back.
I never knew this about Dharr Mann, I feel duped. Thank you for your videos.
Same here I fell into that trap a couple of those videos for good well-meaning videos or so I thought oh well live and learn
I thought he was like a preacher or something. I feel duped also.
He totally gives off the piece of shit creep fraudster vibes, I knew there was something up with him besides making some of the worst content the world has ever seen.
Sounds like dr gande is jealous of his CZcams success. You’re not even 1/14th of his value/success
Analyze you’re d0uche self next, doc..
I like how you can use your platform to reveal and expose the various nutcases that have hit the internet. you shoot straight, and your always right.
I always enjoy how your view on many topics coincides with mine, yet you are able to deliver you thoughts in a distilled and precise way. I can never organize and deliver my opinions in such an insightful way. Also love that you season your views with such a dry wit. keep it up Dr G!
Yo-yo you upped the thumbnail game, the comedy writing and the titles Lolol mad funny
This might be my favorite video of yours. I feel like I could write a dissertation - it occurs to me, I’ve already done so - but I shall leave it at that. Thank you for doing what you do .
Oof.
Humble brag
Loved how this was full of so much wit, and the famous little smirks while speaking about absurdities!
"Can be accurately characterized as cringy and disheartening." 😂
Love the straight faced humour, I've never seen anyone do that without it taking away from serious issues. Dr Grande pulls it off! ❤️ From Australia
How you do this with a straight face Dr. Is amazing.
I got to have lunch with Dr. Grande at work today! The stars rarely align for this! 🥳
☀🎆🎇✨⭐🌟🌠
Wow. Very cool. What kind of job do you have? I was once a secretary to a kid TV star and met a lot of famous people.
I always love how he throw shade at everyone...but then the people he throwing shade at, wouldnt understand even that they are being made fun of...this is next lvl sass
Wouldn't understand his shade🤔? You're joking, right? 🤦LOL
I listen to him with my kids & they find his humor & shade hilarious🤷.
The title of this is top tier shade. Good work Dr. Grande. Good work.
What shocks me the most about his videos is the helplessness of the "victims" of his scenarios. As if they are totally incapable of standing up for themselves in anyway, and need to be saved by karma, or by a very stereotypical hero figure.
Dude, come on, nooooo. Like anyone would just let a store employee bully them while just standing there, not saying anything back. And then come back to that exact same store months after just so the employee feels bad about themselves.
Can we ever retreat from social media? I think his videos are a teenage gateway drug to narcissism.
Or maybe to perfectionism and belief in microaggressions and cancel culture.
@@jguenther3049 lol is that what childish Disney channel ripoffs on youtube can lead to? Tell me more
Great analysis!! And you had me cracking up throughout, especially your ending!!
Side note.. would love to hear your voice reading Harm Reduction as an audible download... just sayin' 😀
❤️ your title! I watched a DM marathon. The one theme that bothered me is the emphasis put on wealth and possessions. The victims almost always became rich or received designer purses, jewelry, clothes, or expensive cars. Teaching not to bully or prejudge is honorable; teaching that you will be rewarded with "treasures" is not. Thank you, Dr. G.
@@d-marierasberry3449 exactly. It’s mainly what turned me off of his videos
@@d-marierasberry3449 I noticed that, too! It's not about making friends, it's not about compassion, it's almost all about material rewards. I didn't know this guy's background until I saw this video, and on the day I found and laughed at DM's stuff, I thought he was some kind of one of those prosperity speakers/lecturers - the type that can fill a bunch of seats telling people how to become rich. Pretty funny stuff
This video is akin to finally scratching that itch between your shoulder blades, definitely a comfort watch, I'll pop this video everytime I need to relax.
I’ve never heard of any of these content producers you mentioned. Now I’ll have to look them up on CZcams.
"The biggest surprise somebody could hope for after watching a video, is failing to become nauseated."
Slam dunk!
Great analysis, Dr. Grande. After watching this video, I failed to not piss my pants from the deadpan.
YES! With your sense of humor, I know this is gonna be epic! Thank you, Dr. Grande! ❤️
No matter how good a comment is, Todd will only like it when it contains the words 'thank you' and 'Dr. Grande'
The shade in this video!!! The roasts just keep on coming! I love it
As always, I hope you found my analysis "inconsistent and with instant regret!!" 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😆😆😆😆😆 OMG!! Okay, okay.. I wondered if he really knew how funny he is, and that told me he absolutely knows!
The Emojis do not begin to reflect the true intensity of my laughter! The very last second of the video, what I thought there would be nothing special left to hear, he drops A GEM!
Have always loved dry humor, and his monotone, completely straight-faced, dry delivery is the pinnacle of dry wit!!
Bravo Doctor! You are both insightful and hilarious!
I hope you're getting decent pay from CZcams-you sure earned it having to watch the videos. Appreciate your help with understanding what is going on with the "influencers" and what influences that they are causing. Stay safe.
I think the channel is so popular exactly because people want a hit of that nicely packaged instant revenge. You don't even have to think, it's so blatant in the videos (thus appealing to the widest possible audience). The instant revenge titles are clickbait much like cover of "The National Enquirer," but the videos deliver exactly what they claim. It just happens to be super cringy and I guess people will overlook that for their "hit" of revenge. 😂
“Vengeance is mine saith the Lord I will repay . “
^^ Right, revenge fantasies are engrained deep into our culture.
Revenge fantasies exist because every single day we see or hear of someone profiting from bad behavior.
