"I didn't remember it, apparently" is a dead giveaway. Understandable though. I would be beyond embarassed if a friend did that to me. Imagine how bad of a friend you have to be to have your friend do that to you.
You've got it exactly backwards. He definitely cut off his ear in a manic episode. Then he wrapped it in paper and took it to a brothel he used to frequent. He reports in his letters that he then brought the ear home. There's some speculative theory about him giving his ear to a girl named Gabrielle at the brothel, who apparently was a 17 year-old cleaning girl, rather than a hooker. But that's all speculative, nobody ever mentions that in any of their writings.
Didn't realise jake practically has no earlobes and as such didn't realise this was a skit for far too long
he has connected earlobes. you can either have earlobes which are “attached” or “unattached”
that’s why the guy at the mall said it would take 6 weeks before he could gauge out the earrings
Just staring at jakes ears this whole video
That's self-mutilation bud
Sorry that he "inconvenienced" you
Van Gogh had some form of schizophrenia or bipolar disorder, the technical term for which at the time was indeed "going a little cuckoo"
hope y’all do this segment again it’s so funny
I once read that he was actually attacked by a friend of his who cut it off, but then told the "cut it off myself” story to cover it up.

@@landsten- “Van Gogh seems to have uhh cut his ear off in the process of hanging out, but uh that's normal, that’s gonna happen.”
Jake sort of sounds like Joel Haver here
Its debated as to whether or not he actually cut it off, but if he did it was to impress a girl.

I’m mean he lives with it, granted, but if my lobe was attached to my neck, I would lose it
