ye also the clowns made a article about having babys is far right give me a break
Happy slapping was because of tangos adverts at the time. I remember it when I was in high school (GB). You can probably find them if you can be bothered.
Finally another sheath code :) love these boxers for years now and cant go back to "normal" briefs or boxers
RE: 'Happy Slapping' - the soft drink company that makes 'Tango' got into SERIOUS trouble when kids copied the 'Slap' that was shown on the advert. In short (for those that don't know/remember), the advert had a dopey looking guy opening a can of Tango, and there was a shirtless short fat bald guy painted in orange sneaking around from behind the guy with the drink. When the guy took a sip, the fat 'Tango man' did a double slap (both hands either side of the drinking guys face) as a form of "You know when you've been tango'd". It was also narrated in a 'Sports narration-like' manner with two 'Scousers'. Adverts are here on YT.
HOWEVER... Kids were copying this in the school playgrounds etc, and there were many cases of perforated eardrums...
😎🇬🇧
@@thedarkknight1971 it's because a kid copied it did it to another kid that lost his hearing in both ears in a Instant. I know this because kids where doing it all the time. Untill that story came out in the news and the advert was banned.
When you say creatively bankrupt I can't help but think about the Bo Burnham quote, "we'll stop beating this dead horse when it stops spitting out money."
But until then we'll repeat stuff XD
And shitty quality overpriced houses.
I love that your torso has an arm on either side
@@monterraythehomeless I quote that chorus so often 😂
That quote has made my day. ROTFLMHO...but So true.
Wait....we were supposed to slice the cheese first?
I've been throwing bricks of cheddar at kids for years now.
You're doing it all wrong. You need an entire wheel of cheese. There's a reason it's called Babybel.
Considering the current price of cheese, that must cost you a small fortune.
@@davidallen111 I do it for the kids, so its worth it.
I go to the local food bank and get a couple bricks of beautiful government cheese. The reason for this is that government cheese melts very easily, so if I throw a brick from an overpass on a hot day, when it's already slippery, it practically explodes on impact. Worth it every time.
*NOTE*
This is satire. Don't do this, or think I am ignorant enough to do it also.
Don't forget to freeze it! 😁
For anyone wondering why exactly infants can't have honey... it's because honey can contain trace amounts of botulinum toxin, which the infant's immature digestive system can't properly destroy before potentially causing botulism
Except that most commercial honey is really just a form of food "product" (or: syrup) instead of actual real food...?!
Allegedly.
I really appreciate you doing the research here I just wish that I had seen this comment before I Googled it myself. LOL
Natural honey can also contain trace amounts of anthrax spores.
It’s _generally_ safe by 12 months.
I simply adore the mix of Simon tangents, the writers of the basement trying to give him random slips and the editors putting a gorgeous, gleaming cherry on top ❤😂
Tangents are why i keep coming back😊
Well said - Here here!
Agreed 100% 👍
Absolutely ❤
Seriously, though. You all need to go watch the videos of parents throwing cheese on their babies' faces. The way an unruly child becomes seemingly frozen in time after being hit with a slice of cheese is way funnier than it has any business being.
Also, don't forget you can get access to all of my complete, uncensored scripts!
i remember seeing the video first on tiktok... just sitting there slack jaw like tf is this? 😄
Yes. The first time cheese gets thrown on your face you generally freeze and start questioning your life choices. At any age.
Oh hi, Kevin!
You think cheesin babies is funny? I'm sure I've seen cat/dog versions of this, might be right up your alley if you haven't already seen em. I hate TikTok but even I have to admit the cheese thing was stupid as hell, but also kinda perfect.
@@cleverusername9369 Hi!
4:14 Well there is a good reason baby vomit smells and looks like curdled milk, because it basically is curdled milk.
Literally just said that when it was mentioned, lol. All they drink is milk and that's then mixed in their stomach acids, ergo Curdled Milk aka Cheese.
Give or take 3 or 400 different enzymes and bacteria. But yep
And there goes my cottage cheese lunch 😞
11:40
Kevin: "Of course, there haven't been any scientific studies on the matter because it's stupid and pointless."
Me: "Sounds custom made for an Ig Noble prize."
Simon's capitalist heart skipped a beat when Kevin insulted the audience
Joke's on you, we're into that sh*t! **insert skeletor meme**
Well done.
Not me. I'm unsubscribing after that. I've always thought his writers were annoying when they try to insert their (terrible) personalities into the scripts.
Hey Kevin, I make more money than you'll ever make, and btw how many viewers do you think you'd have if it wasn't free.
lol@@Unknowngfyjoh
@@Unknowngfyjoh This better be facetious.. I thought it was hilarious 😂
@@riktheyellowmonkey no I'm leaving. His writers are annoying as fvck and that was the last straw.
“12 seconds later” Julian doing Simon dirty
Kevin makes coaxing tangents out of Simon an art form
1:50 - Mid roll ads
3:20 - Back to the video
3:30 - Chapter 1 - Cheesed challenge
8:10 - Chapter 2 - Banana & sprite challenge
12:50 - Chapter 3 - Birdbox challenge

21:35 - Chapter 5 - Happy slapping
Lmao, Simon saying theres got to be someone with a 50 IQ out there and me immediately thinking "Yeah, an american", and the next sentence was about a girl in america blindfold driving 🤣
That’s fair 😅
I'm not surprised by the lacking of judgment or common sense.
As an American, I am not too surprised by this sequence of events, although mildly amused by the fact that in that given year, Utah's stupidity seems to have outranked the reigning champ in our country, Florida-man.
@@moogle68 Damn. Florida Man is a known fact for some crazy stuff.
I love this channel, but after this episode i am starting to think Dave and Kevin dont exist and Simon has multiple personalities. This episode is clearer than most others for hearing the timber change from the script to a Simon tangent. And it feels like the voices are talking to each other.
"despite what I think insi....nvm" the moment simon realizes kevin is baiting simon into nuking his own channel lol. And it almost worked!
There's truth to every joke. I'm unsubscribing from this babbling moron.
'Sheath' is also know as 'vagina'.
'Cunnus' is the proper Roman name for human female parts, 'vagina' is the name for sword-holders.
I love language...I might even start using it one day.
Roman soldiers making shortsword puns may or may not be where that came from.
Witty and lustful are two traits you can expect from any soldier and any roman.
I always enjoy seeing what random items Simon has on his desk. Sometimes it's nearly stacked piles of coins, sometimes it's a hunting knife with a gut hook, sometimes it's just a can of Coke Zero.
The first time you said "happy slapping," I heard "puppy slapping," and I had concerns and questions.
The Mentos-Coke story reminds me of the time I got hayfever in Austria, and decided to buy an antihistamine and a fizzy drink to wash it down. I was surprised by the size of the antihistamine tablet (the size of a small coin), and decided it's probably a chewable, like Tums. Turned out to be a dispersible, like Alka-Seltzer. My grasp of German at the time didn't enable me to decipher the instructions on the bottle.
How bizarre! Usually antihistamines come in very small tablets that you swallow whole.
@@MatthewTheWandererit was probably not an antihistamine but something like Samarian which is a big tablet that's dissolved in water before drinking it.
The editing in this video was spectacular. Thanks for the laughs Julian Vu.
17:05 - That is glorious!!
22:40 - I knew a kid who did this. The guy he slapped broke his nose and fractired his orbital socket. Simce the kid instigated the assult, he also spent some time in jail, had to pay a fine and do a bunch of community service. Makes me wonder if anyone got shot after slapping the wrong person.
"...or your right hand will appreciate that" Simon's responses are the glue that holds this brain blaze together 😂
No talent!? I'll have you know that I can tie my left shoe in under five attempts! 🔥
Video or it never happened 😅
i still bunny ear my shoelaces so…. watch out 😎
Seriously?
I just went for slip ons & zippered boots.
And it wasn't because the slip ons are very comfy & the boots just happened to come with zippers.
But how many attempts does it take to tie your right shoe?
@@phaedrapage4217 What is right?
Baby vomit looks like curdled milk. You mean the baby who has been drinking nothing but milk vomited something up that looked like milk that was being held in warm place too long? You don't say.
No one said it was surprising
Simon :"Thank you for including metric, cups are weird".
Every Brit when they walk into a pub: "I'll have a pint". 🙄
The frickin editing during the "November" segment was too amazing 😂😂😂
I have a pretty good guess of what Julian's stance on no nut novermber is
Is Brain Blaze a euphemism for nose candy? Simon has unusual energy in these brain blazes
And a long running habit of coke use jokes
It used to be called 'Business Blaze' because... I forget.
He didn't catch the 'drugs' joke until the channel had set up its first few videos.
If you’re jamming down that much soda, do you even need the bananas?
It's only 1 l of soda, are you even American?
@@jasonmain6398 I am an American, so I instantly pictured a 2-liter bottle.
Yep. Me too
There was a time I was going for the ultimate belch. After quaffing 2 26 oz root-beer and shaking myself up and down while the pressure built, a large quantity of rootbeer foam was the result.
I was so disappointed. QQ
OMG! There’s an updated “Daddy, chill.” meme!
I want more Jay and Silent Bob ones too
I always wondered why my buddy and I didn't vomit when we did the banana sprite challenge but now I know; we're not fucking idiots. Thanks Kevin!
Showing footage of Rhett and Link’s Cheese Wheels when talking about teenagers slapping cars with cheese is a choice.

😎🇬🇧
That 1:07 editing shows that at least one of you isn't creatively bankrupt! Omg that is so good! 10/fking10
I love the fact it shows upcoming lines
Someone has probably already said this, but I thought "happy slapping" originated from the UK Tango ads, fizzy orange drink, which involved a strange orange painted man slapping a person with both hands in the face/head...the ad got band in the end cause it became a thing at school and kids were getting burst eardrums etc...SMACK..."You've just been Tango'd!!!"
Double slap to the eardrums is really painful and stunning.
Kevin: creatively bankrupt
Simon: * Burp
the "cheesing" escalation reminds me of a time back before the statute of limitations expired that as youths, we once drove around town at night trying to throw marshmallows into other cars' open windows. ah, the good old days when pranks were mostly harmless.
maybe we should start the "do a good thing for your elderly neighbor" challenge.
THIS is exactly what I need... tomorrow is finally my Friday after 11 days... just walked in and ignoring the world for the rest of the day... time for excellent writing, tangents, and laughing... ✌️
The cheesing thing cannot be considered a waste of food because the cheese used, "american kraft singles" (ironically made in Canada) is not considered food, even by FDA standards.
That said, some of the videos were genuinely hilarious, as the babies or toddlers were usually thoroughly perplexed by wtf just happened lol
Kraft singles are legally food, but not cheese. Hence the "cheese food" label as opposed to just "cheese." The FDA regulates most foods, and the section on cheese is codified in 21CFR133.169. It is quite... complex... but the cliff notes version is that Kraft Singles have too high of water content and not enough milk fats to be considered cheese by the legal definitions (there are several, depending on the type of cheese).
As an aside, Kraft Deli Deluxe is much better if you need something melty and gooey for your burgers. It meets the legal definition of American cheese, and doesn't taste like sadness.
13:30 I like how Simon's brain just deletes "the" from "in the hospital"
I don't called them "internet challenges," I call them "Amateur Darwin Awards."
Sounds legit. Like the amateur not a star search.
Darwin try outs
Bless your glorious capitalistic heart! ❤😂
Potassium and citric acid have a reaction that builds gas, sometimes the gas builds up under the mashed up banana and causes you to barf.
I've never seen Simon and Kevin together in the same room. Can we prove he isn't just a figment of Simon's imagination?
Kevin did leave a comment above, though that could be Simon’s alternate personality’s sock account.
I haven't driven blindfolded, but I have blacked out while driving. Still conscious, just not able to see or hear.
Next thought I had was "well, I guess this is how it ends."
Luckily my blood pressure returned after 3 or 4 seconds, vision returned, I was still in my lane and was not close to running a bus off a rail bridge.
The challenges do get dark. I deleted my TikTok account after the baby cannibal challenge. Just finding a food-grade, USDA certified infant is hard enough without getting in multiple fights in the comments about which condiment goes best with baby. It's fine if you are into mayo-baby, but I'm an A-1 guy and I don't feel the need to defend how I enjoy the succulent flesh of a human child. One thing we can all agree to is anything but ketchup, what an uncultured waste of perfectly good newborn.
Newborn! Have you lost your mind! 6 months to one year is ideal harvesting time. That way you can tan the skin a make a pair of soft supple gloves for the missus. You really need to brush up on your Jonathan Swift, who was certainly the utmost authority.
Lmfao the “right hand lonely” take at the very end😂😂
Strawberry pop tart supremacy
I know Kevin said that Happy Slapping wasn't an internet challenge, but he did say it came from people watching it online (also from shared mobile videos) that's only partially accurate, much like the Netflix advert spiralled into something they didn't intend Happy Slapping came from an advert, the You've been Tango'd campaign for the drink Tango had a person going around in a mascot outfit and slapping both a strangers ears. There were multiple versions of this advert and people started copying it which led to the Happy Slapping trend and the way of slapping both ears as hard as someone can lead to multiple burst eardrums and think that was how the first death happened (but I may be misremembering)
Yeah i remember that advert, A guy in an orange gimp suit hitting people and then it said. _You know when you've been Tango'd_ 😂😂
I can't remember who the editor was im not rewinding the video but the "I CAN SEE THE FUTURE" meme is a core memory from when i was younger and i thank you for putting that in😂😂😂😂
It’s a core memory for me too, fam.
You know who should try the bird box challenge? Your writer Dave. He would probably be really good at it. I mean dude is blind. Adding a blindfold wouldn’t impart him anymore than he already is.
Pretty sure that would be cheating.
It wouldn’t make it any harder, but it wouldn’t make it any easier either, signed a formerly blind person with multiple currently blind family members and friends .
The Benadryl challenge killed people…and led to Benadryl purchase limits..in hayfever season.
Simon my dude, cups are a strange measurement, but not as strange as stone.
Will someone PLEASE send Simon a box of Frosted Strawberry PopTarts ASAP? I understand a sheltered life but COME ON. Hugs
not seeing birdbox is the most birdbox thing to do
I think I SEE what you did there.
Brown Sugar Cinnamon PopTarts are the best.
My favourite too. I love cinnamon.xx
This man said “bird box came out in 2018” and I just felt a mini heart attack because 2018 feels like yesterday because I remember that show coming out
Here's to the brave lads who reduced their risk of prostate cancer during this video. I salute you.
Strawberry is alright, but blueberry is where it's at.
The editor deserves a raise for that sequence "incoming" 😂
Strawberry pop tarts are the worst one. Cinnamon is far superior
Memo to self: Don't watch Simon's videos while eating breakfast.
At one time I worked for a supervisor who stated "Never estimate the stupidity of the general public," In my experience he has never been proven wrong.
NO!!! Not the poor coins! End of an era, folks.
6:38: Me to my kids: "You will when you get hungry enough!!!"
Okay so... Banana proteins doesn't mean like, protein protein. Like if you have an allergy you are reacting to that items proteins, so some folks with sunflower allergy can still have highly refined sunflower oil because there aren't enough proteins left to react to.
sequels sure, but have you started your prequel phase?
6:54
Welcome to "American Cheese"! It's about 51% milk, 49% cooking oil!
Yum?
So first - Pop Tarts actually do exist in the UK, and I certainly used to eat them in the 90s, so I am not sure how you missed those Simon. They were advertised constantly. Second - I assume given the time period mentioned, that Happy Slapping may have originated with the Tango adverts? I know there was a lot of controversy over the Tango slapping adverts and they were pulled pretty much overnight. I seem to remember hearing that people were suffering hearing damage because people were slapping them and rupturing their ear drum.
Great job , Julian, on the editing. Reminded me of OGBB at some points. 😂
You guys aren’t creatively bankrupt, you’re just giving the people what the want and neeeed.
That's what I'm here for!

Simon saying "I'm a thirsty bitch." Was not on my 2024 bingo card, but here we are. 😂😂😂
I ahve NO issue with seeing Sequels to great Scripts for great videos, Kevin! Simon, keepreading the scripts, being you, and drop those glorious tangents that we all so love!
Kevin is right, but I go further, and insist that theunfrosted Strawberry PopTarts with butter on them after toasting is the better bomb.
I've always thought that No Nut November was idiotic nonsense and I'm glad this video agrees.
Ah I remember using the old banana and Sprite trick to get out of work a couple times when circumstances were extra desperate
The first 60 seconds is a rant that I have gone off on many times!
The thing that gets me is that last year the Hollywood writers went on strike for more pay but they haven’t come up with an original idea in 20 + years!
Fast and Furious 86! Fuck yeah!
Oh, yes, they have , but the producers & directors are unable to enjoy actual creativity because they cannot accept any idea that they haven't been fooled into thinking that they were the ones to come up with it in the first place.
I'm just glad we didnt have the old 'kid comes up to you tells you to breath in then pushes your chest as hard as possible' trend become a massive internet challenge, I remember some idiot tried that on me in primary school, the science teacher came from the other side of the room (we had science class at the time so it was convenient) and just yelled at the kid (like really yelled, you could've probably heard it half way across the school), the kid never tried doing it to anyone again.
(for anyone wondering why its bad, it can stop your heart, which in the worst case scenario could cause death, though very unlikely, one of my older sisters classmates needed to be sent to the hospital).
Thank you Julian for the captions.
Good god...not sure what was funnier...the writing, the tangents, or the editing. That video was brilliant all around. I chortled on several occasions...the "DO IT" nearly killed me.
Remus and romulus must really enjoy that last comment of "kids are just stupid!"
The amount of toys and cheap $-store junk strewn around the house went up 50 fold when our 2nd child started wanting stuff. Just stuuuuuuuuufffffff.
Simon is THE BEST!
Oh my God! I actually had to pause the video to laugh and clap. Excellent subtitle usage.
I am a simple man. I see TFS I upvote.
“Twelve seconds later” Brutal! 😂😂😂 🔥 🔥 🔥
You need to put SSRIs in the basement water supply. They're slowly going full doomer and the bitterness is starting to show in the scripts.
6:44 this was a masterclass in comic editing.
Correction: 18:44....
The editor of this video is top notch! Absolutely hilarious!
"You don't even have to come up with new characters... AM I RIGHT, PETER!?" - Simon
This skeletor laughing meme better stay forever. I'm laying here trying to sleep and freaking skeletor points and laughs at simon out of nowhere, and I laugh so hard I couldn't breathe.
Now I think about it, babies are like a ziplock bag of cheese.
Like velveeta, but with a neck you have to support because they’re not doing it.
Fun fact. American cheese is just a watered down combination of cheeses. There is a tiny amount of some chemical that is added that lets the cheese and the water mix. But it is something like 75% cheese and 25% water. (Don't recall the actual ratio). And then something like .01% of a chemical that allows the cheese to bond with the water.
I was surprised too. I though American cheese was like like 10% cheese.... a whole bunch of oil... and a decent amount congealant or something. But no... it's pretty much entirely cheese and water.
Just a heads up, you can also melt car paint with bologna. Unrelated side note, I no longer eat raw bologna.
Yeah I've heard about this paint "hack" and destroying a vehicle's paint.
The editing during the November Challenge section was superb.
There is a Sciencefeld show in some alternate universe. Same show as Seinfeld , same characters, but its all science gags.
Simon and the writers are creatively bankrupt...it is the Editors that have the creative big brains!
