Okay but as a trans person “does anyone have food allergies or pronouns that I should know about” is the funniest goddamn thing i have ever heard
I'm glad I'm not the only one xD
For real like it's so boomer and so foreign that it makes perfect sense for that to be what she says.
Same, I could not stop laughing for about ten minutes.
Cans confirms.
I mean it's funny even as a cis person
Oculon has merely shifted His gaze. You may feel as though you are safe, but His sight is omnipresent.
No one puts Oculon in the Solidarity Corner!
RIP "exactly ONE email".
I'm holding out hope that Bobby Dook will be e introducing us to small leftist channels eventually. AYYY!
As a first generation Arab Muslim American, this show really hit home for me. I also spent the entire runtime of the show begging Ramy to make a single good decision
Actually, i consider ramy to be the most pathetic character in the whole world in everything
That story about applying for citizenship hits painfully close to home. This is how my mum was when she applied for citizenship, mostly on feeling really pressured and like any fault will bar her access. She’s also really self conscious about her English and talks like that about herself, and that really hurts.
That's just a human thing. Does anyone remember being in highschool and thinking that if an adult so much as caught you scratching your butt, then you could kiss your chances at going to University good bye.
It's all a mass media thing, they've spend millions of hours of TV conditioning folks to be scared to deviate even a little from the "norm", which is defined by the owners of the networks that make the shows.
I hope everything worked out, and she got to take a looong break to unwind from the stress
@@JasonMcCarrell it's true that tests suck and shouldn't work the way they do, but i think @Sputnik's tale about their mum has an extra layer of shittiness that a lot of people (most?) who will take a test in their lives, don't have to face. end borders imo
Your mom is the type of immigrants we want, just come and try, be honest, follow the laws and try to fit in. Ignore the right, theyre diseased, they forget their elders stole this land from the natives, they migrated here too. I hope you feel welcome were you are now.
Just dont come here and try to wear a "ceremonial" knife or think you can get away with no helmet on a motorcycle because of your religious "beliefs"
Sibling, you disappoint Oculon with your treachery. We must repent and pray for his mercy. His wrath is nigh.
Sounds like you're disappointed that a content creator you feel you own made a change they clearly wanted to make but what's more important to you is a kooky in joke.
@@TheEvilCheesecake Nope, just feeling clever and making a joke. I love the content here and if he’s tired of making the Eyeball Zone joke that’s quite alright. I think you might be reading in to it a little bit too much.
@@TheEvilCheesecake Wow, looks like somebody really missed the convention of the humor we keep going in here
@@nob2243 i get the joke. It's not a good joke.
@@TheEvilCheesecake You are allowed your subjective take, but I feel like my playful noting of the deliberate, comical, and seemingly sarcastic break in continuity is likely bothering you more than the content creator.
'Trying to protect your kids but ultimately just doing the exact thing that you're trying to protect them from' is Bad Parenting 101
That describes my parents fucking PERFECTLY.
"hello they" hurt more than it should've
yupppppppp. getting called "a they" is one of those things assholes do that inexplicably bothers me and I don't know why, and this twigged that same thing.
This comment just made me realize in what kind of bubble I live in, "hello they" just seamed so alien to me, like someone would come up with it, just to put it in the show.
(thou English is obviously not my mother tongue)
@@marcsles don't get me wrong, english isn't my mother tongue either, and it's not like that exact phrase is whatade me feel wrong, it's the attitude which is familiar
@@arust5147 yeah I can see my mom saying that, not out of bigotry, but she is so fucking bad at English outside her regular limited rotation of use. I'm always terrified she's going to say the dumbest sounding thing, hurt some poor person, and then be utterly confused at the response. We're helping her get better though :)
I laughed so hard. It reminded me of the time one of my coworkers said "sup they" to me. Both instances are similarly awkward and touching.
"Due to travel restrictions, the US had to stage a coup locally this year"
As a person of middle eastern extraction, this show hits in a unique way.
As a religious Jewish woman I get mad every time I hear the term judeo-christian values.
ME TOO!
Would you mind explaining why? Is it just because people who say it usually mean Christian values and just whack on judeo?
@@cupface2308 Maybe watch the video?
@@cupface2308 I'm absolutely butting in, and that's shitty but imo as a non-Christian and a Gentile, it always seemed like "Judeo-Christian values" is used as Christianity "supersedes" Judaism, and that Judaism progresses into Christianity. Which, I'd assume (sorry if I'm wrong), undermines and marginalizes Jewish identity since White Christians are the hegemonic people group in the United States, where the term "Judeo-Christian" is most used. And "Judeo-Christian" is always used as a signal between other White conservatives (Jews of European descent and Christians of European descent), primarily in opposition to other non-White and/or non-Conservative groups.
@@theMoporter sorry for asking someone's perspective
"DOES ANYBODY HAVE FOOD ALLERGIES OR PRONOUNS I SHOULD KNOW ABOUT" 😂 This is the most "grandma is trying" thing I've ever heard and I love it honestly
Lord Oculon is sleeping but soon is his eye will open....
Soon The Great One-Eyed Snake will rise once more! As The Great One-Eyed Snake rises every morning...
...and sometimes during class for no reason _just_ before the teacher asks you to come up to the board and use numbers to math a problem up.
@@dildonius oh, is that why it changed? Oculon has been equated with a penis, so Matt dropped it?
Well, solidarity to the solidarity corner.
@@DavidLindes - Could it also be one of the reasons he pissed himself?
When Ramy's mother introduced herself with her pronouns I actually cried. I wish my own mother would be so willing to change and learn. It was a sweet moment. I really appreciated that every single character in the show has flaws and positive qualities. Maysa shows what a person who is ignorant yet not malicious looks like.
The "yer dad" type of activist. Doesn't quite understand it but is happy to hang around and learn, despite never truly beginning to understand.

"I pissed my pants." -ThoughtSlime, 2021
After the "I pissed my pants" bit it went to an ad break. And the ad was an R rated trailer. So it went from "He pissed his pants" to the MPAA warning screen. High comedy.
First time ever I have been sad to have Premium.
I got that peppy wegmans ad, made me smirk.
You should end every video with "I Pissed MY Pants" from now on.
Damn, I’m so excited for this new Hbomberguy video
My mom sounds JUST LIKE THE MOM FROM THE SHOW. I'm gonna tell her.
Oh god. The point of the mother looking at how she thinks other people would criticize them and then criticizing them to protect them... I KNOW people like this. Family, even. I also know people worried about their citizenship status and wasting time with the smallest, most pointless stuff because they stress about it. It all feels SO true to life. I have to check this show out now.
Ramy is so damn relatable to the Muslim diaspora kids
The bit about apologies struck home today. I woke up this morning thinking about the person I've owed an apology to for eight years now. I don't want to intrude on their life now and would never reach out and disturb them, but every now and then I imagine a chance to say, "I owe you a huge apology if you ever wanted to hear it."
in a similar situation, but i actually did it. it didn’t make me or her feel better, and i do wish i had just let her go on with her life
In case you are interested in other perspectives, I would say that eight years is far too late to apologize to someone (especially someone with whom you do not speak often).
I feel as though if you really feel the need to apologize (regardless of length of time) DO IT.
Life is way too short even if it has been a long time since you and said individual(s) have parted ways. The caveat I would say is that some might not accept your apology or you might not get the reaction you expect at the worst which is a chance you do take.
Even when things didn't go as expected or I received no answer or reply at all, I usually at least felt better if I felt compelled to apologize and did so. It's a great weight off your shoulders. But I can respect choosing to see outside oneself as a reason not to be intrusive in someone's life as a justification not to contact someone.
I suppose it depends on the scenario itself. I was in relationship when I was young with a woman who really treated me like garbage and I felt the need to apologize for years for my behavior because I had the mistaken notion I had done something wrong. The reality was she was a jerk who lied and cheated on me on several occasions , and maybe I rationalized in my head post relationship that i was the one who was at fault. These days, I wouldn't even bother because I know better, but at the time I REALLY didn't.
In another scenario, I apologized to a friend I had a falling out with in the past and despite the passage of time without communication it rekindled our friendship...and it apparently meant the world to the person I apologized to.
Use discretion is what I'm trying to say, but don't be afraid to show humility or kindness either.
@@1sliiver No. There are times when the best apology you can give is to leave the other person alone and make sure you never treat another human being like that ever again.
@@stephenwilliams163 You didn't read what I wrote carefully.
Judging people to spare them from judgement and embarrassment that she fears would occur is such a mom thing to do
“they” sounds like the kind of episode i can’t watch more than once bc i will literally have a breakdown over how much i resonate with it. god i wish more people would genuinely try to learn about new or unfamiliar concepts instead of just condemning them
A saying I've always kept in mind since learning it, when it comes to accidentally causing hurt in other people (like that episode you went into with Sophia dang!), is "the axe forgets what the tree remembers."
Oh man springboard is just the coolest competitive lumberjacking event
I've been raving about this show for since it came out and have been so surprised nobody has bothered to talk about it.
It got added to my rapidly fading mental list of "Shows That Look Really Good, Never Mind Another Sorted Video Hit".
this show is indeed excellent. there’s so much care and nuance given to each character.
i’m really excited about season 3.
Holy shit. Why did nobody tell me about the 2nd season. Thx for bringing this to my attention... brb
This feels like the type of show that I would like to watch but ultimately couldn't because it would give me second hand anxiety every other scene
nice username
Mood. "Ramy makes bad decision after bad decision"
Concerning fart sounds: I put them in my life every morning.
And every noon.
Every afternoon.
Every evening.
Every night.
And now, the circle is complete.
The ourobos symbol but the snake is farting on its own face.
Did some extra work on a show, I'm a method actor. The scenes dealt with ICE and in character and in person the hate and tears in my eyes were real.
"stalks sophia" NOOOOOOOOOOOOO
I love this idea of a solidarity corner.
I'm honestly surprised you never thought of it before.
Yo, you missed a perfect place to do a fart sound effect.
When you winked.
*slow clap*
The eyeballs will have their revenge...
TheCommunistGamer - I'm sure, Lord Occulon

All HAIL our Lord, LORD OCCULON !! All Hail!!
I really like this show, in small doses. I find I can only handle the Ramy character for a couple episodes at a time without wanting to tear my hair out, so it’s a breath of fresh air when someone else gets an episode.
I'm tempted to watch the show now, but it seems like the kind of show that would literally kill me through second-hand embarassment.
Matt "I Pissed My Pants" Thought Slime delivers another good video! I give it one pissed out of pants.

Now this is what true entergagement feels like.
Yo hey fellow matt!
@@matthewwhiting255 I'm... I'm not a Matt
Entertaining, and engaging.
Lol 😆 I almost forgot about that haha
The bit about apologizes actually resonates with me, I feel like a hurt a young woman years ago and while I can't confirm it I can use the lesson to make myself a better. But I of course can't ask her about it because the idea of making her relive something that could've been traumatizing just so I can feel better is whack as shit
I can't believe my eyeballs.
under-rated response. :)
Tbh I wish my parents went as much out of their way to try to understand my gender as Maisa does, or seems to.
That problem of apologizing haunts me my whole life. I've hurt people before, and I hope that I've changed and learned my mistakes. And I feel really, really deep desire to let them know that. But I shouldn't do that, because they can move on in their lives without me, and ultimately it's only me who has anything to gain from apologizing. Remaining the villain of their story seems to be the more kind and selfless option.
That's pretty deep. It feels bittersweet but I ultimately agree with you. Not everyone is going to like you, and some people are going to hate you for things you've done to them. I can definitely think of a few people that I want to apologize to for how I treated them in the past, but it's probably for the best that we move on and try to be better.
i feel this deeply
Too relatable!! Thanks you for sharing
Ayyyeee my friend’s lil bro is in this show!
@Abu Omer don’t think so friend, sorry!
His stand up special is SO GOOD. the ending was amazing.
Which streaming service?
Telling when it is and is not appropriate to apologize for something is genuinely one of the hardest things in my experience
does anyone have the food allergies or pronouns clip I want to send it to my friends
you can get it from this video
@@SantaFishes101 I've sent too many political vids to them already I can't send them another slimy boy
How about you try downloading it and cutting out the clip yourself? It would be a good exercise in editing, in addition. Just a suggestion
The Solidarity Corner feels like a less fun version of Handy Town.
I demand Eyeball Zone! It's... It's the only bit that brings joy to my life. Why? Why did you hurt me like this?
Lord Oculon giveth, and Lord Oculon taketh away
"so you can have clear audio of me saying that"
places ad over clip.
Something was off about the last part before the credits. Eye wonder what it could be...
The green screen moment cut straight into a commercial of "Did you know you can create an endless stream of water..." Set to video of some stream running into cupped hands. Probably not the best choice of commercials there.
We await Oculon's return (also, hello! engagement!)
Your red "He pissed his pants" text showed up with an ad for chocolate milk, also im red, with that ominous sound, and I didn't know what was going on.
Lord Oculon has given up his tyrannical rule and used his immense power to make a cool little café called "Solidarity"
citizenship ... i remember when they introduced a test for it. most ppl, born in my country, could barley answer a single question... it's just a fuss to be "hard/mean" on immigration.
The Dark Souls death noise over "He Pissed His Pants" had me in fits.
Show is so good. Love that Ramy (and most of the supporting cast) keep making the absolute worst decisions for the most heartfelt and relatable reasons.
Way ahead of you buddy, I'm gonna watch this without wearing pants!
HELLO AND WELCOME TO THE PISSED PANTS ZONE
Omg! I love this show and I barely hear anyone talk about it! Glad you're covering it
"the best show I've watched all year" said in February
Once again thank you your videos have helped me through part of my depression
Holy crepes your rhetorical effectiveness is just off the charts right now, you hit a groove slimeboy and I'm feelin it.
I got into this show when it first popped up on Hulu. I had read some positive reviews and just started watching. I was so impressed! And you're absolutely right that you just want to shake Ramy! Especially in the second season. It's a great show and I'm glad he was recognized at the Golden Globes when he completely acknowledged that most of the audience didn't know who he even was. His stand up is also great! Thanks for featuring him!
Wow so incredible that you picked up all of this. I knew Ramy was a good show and as a Muslim immigrant I thought it would be extremely relatable to watch with the family but it's too vulgar 😂 though we are all grown ups I should force them to sit thru it w me
it really is hard to watch tv shows that have "adult" themes/language with parents! I'm middle aged and still get embarassed in my mom's presence when such as bare butts are on tv
@@sallybanner omg thank you for this!! Haha I literally told my parents at dinner like listen it's dirty but it won a golden Globe and it's representative of our experience and they said they're open to watch 😅 here goes nothing I guess!
Wait a minute... this is not HBomberguy.
My mom is also a bit like that, including the unwanted apologies. Luckily she has not yet had the police called on her but I suspect it is only a matter of time ☹
Please, give her a hug. Mum's need hugs.
shit, mr. slime. as a devout muslim who likes flicking the bean i can tell you that it is the most profound theological crisis of the last 10 years of my life. glad this show can reveal the true struggles.
Do you really feel the need to brag about it aswell?
My absolute favorite moments on this channel are when TS talks without irony or sarcasm about things they love.
Yay! Birthday post!
Today I just binged to episode 9 and it's really good! and it's also helping me get out of a depressive episode. Thank you so much for making this video it's helping me find some joy in life again
Ramy is from my home town! He was actually in my brothers grade. Great show and he nails the vibe of north jersey excellently
Holy cow Matt! Great job on 180k+ subscribers, feels like it was just at 70k, that's huge! well deserved, congrats!
You should watch Derry Girls. Everyone should watch Derry Girls.
It's not as deep or profound but it's charming and funny as hell.
Hey mate, are you gonna do a video about what happened on the 6th and what it means for us going forward? If not thats cool, I’d just like to see something like that
Matthew Elizabeth Slimeworthy. You are not about to get rid of the eyeball zone. Absolutely not.
Wow I didnt expect this. What a pleasant surprise.
I found out that Ramy existed through an interview with Jerrod Carmichael (I am a massive Jerrod Carmichal-fanboy - his comedy and his own sitcom are absolute masterpieces) where they talked about his newest adventure in a writing role on Ramy.
And I gotta say after the first episode I was really bummed out. I mean it was not terrible, but really did not click with me but I am really glad I came back around and watched the rest of the show.
It is truly amazing and made me laugh like a maniac on several occasions. It deveres every bit of attention it gets.
edit: And from reading the comments apparently I have missed that there is a 2nd season out so ... brb.
That comment on apologizing is so good. It's a two-way street. Especially when forgiveness becomes a pressure rather than a gift.
i needed this thank u
Thanks for the recommendation! It will be the next series I watch :)
"He pissed his pants" with the sound and the text and black background and the..... I fell out of my chair! What a nice surprise laugh in these trying times.
Love the solidarity corner! Fantastic new segment.
Commenting for Grumbletum! It's very enjoyable to see you just talking about stuff you enjoy. Like the editing in this video too!
Haven't seen Ramy, but from your description, it sounds like it occupies a similar space to Man Like Mobeen which is awesome. This is really just me feeding the algorithm and encouraging other Slimies to check out Man Like Mobeen because it's great.
My partner loves this show and got me into it a while back.. it’s so good we watched all 2 seasons in one weekend. We were super excited to see a Slime video about it!
as an arab i was curious if this show was about to be a flop. i mean i still havent seen it yet but after watching this im gonna give it a chance
Cheeky little slimo popping an ad break in the “clean audio”.
Nice. Nice.
LOVE your mug
Given the way this review started I thought everything was going to be thoughts slime taking satirical potshots at a bad socially themed TV drama. Instead, solid review.
Really feeling the solidarity now. It’s good feeling
"It shouldn't be Sophia's responsibility to educate her"
This common refrain reminds me of Liberal idealism in that it completely ignores material reality. Do you want ignorant people to better understand minority issues, or do you just want to whine because you feel you shouldn't have to put in work to make that happen?
It doesn't matter what things *should* be like, the fact is, if you're a minority, and an ignorant person puts in the emotional labor to try and understand your perspective, and then you turn around and bitch about your own emotional labor, they aren't going to say "oh shit, you're right, that was inconsiderate of me- my bad", they're going to think "wow, I'm putting in genuine emotional labor and this person just wants to scold me. I guess *these people* are just assholes"
I completely agree. Even the "She/her... any food allergies or pronouns I should know about?" Is quite a considerate thing to ask, but she's still getting dunked on for saying.
I swear so many people live in ideological feedback loops so alienated from the mainstream that lead them to being so puritanical under the guise that it's radical
It's just really tiring to have to advocate for yourself all the damn time. Every person who manages to learn on their own or with the help of allies is a massive load off whoever otherwise would have been explaining. This is something that's very worth understanding, and honestly if someone I was trying to explain something like this to accepts that, it would make me significantly more comfortable, to the point where I'd have a far easier time doing the explaining that it really shouldn't be my job to do. Stating what a preferable reality would look like doesn't necessarily mean denying what is actually there. Though I won't deny that some people probably misuse it, people can misuse almost anything. In fact, that's one of the major problems with the way many liberals try to engage with the world -- there is no process that guarantees good outcomes, and no procedure that cannot be misused according to the letter of it. Nuance is, as always, required.
To the reply about the "food allergies or pronouns" question -- it's funny and cringey just because of the clunky and awkward phrasing, but heartwarming because of the obvious intent, at the same time. It both calls attention to her lack of knowledge, both of trans and nonbinary people and of the way the English language usually works, which is exactly what she doesn't want, and also makes it pretty obvious she's trying. No one would really judge her too harshly, but I certainly winced.
As a good friend of mine says a lot, I am not the goddamn ambassador from Gaydonia. If you want me to educate you, pay me a teacher's salary.
@@tophergerkey I'm gay but I don't think that's funny or helpful. Ignorant people aren't going to "go away" with an attitude like that, they can become entrenched in their position and find validation in the wing that finds that sentiment completely rude and arrogant. If they're not arguing in bad faith then giving them a scripted answer is an unfortunate fact of life. LGBT people continue to be murdered in some parts of the world (the risk of letting things go) but Westerners aren't willing to chat to someone for a few seconds. That's peak individualist liberalism, particularly "joking" about getting paid.
@@rhyscooper3693 it’s not meant to be funny. It’s angry.
"Ramy is a show about a man with a disease where he can never make the right decision and whether he likes Islam or masturbation more" (paraphrased) is a stellar description. Never have I been so mad at a character but the show is definitely great at showing complex characters and motivations.
This sounds like one of those extremely cringey shows where everybody makes terrible decisions and you have to watch them constantly make terrible decisions.
That's the point, but yes.
Thank you Mr Slime, you make me happy
Your analysis of this reminds me quite a bit of Black Sails; that every character is deeply flawed but none is without redeeming qualities, and that when characters argue you're left understanding both sides. This is especially true in its later seasons once it drops its framing device of being a "story" (which it picks back up nearing the end); every character is /human/, even the people actively trying to kill the 'main' characters; the people who are probably the least complex/humanized are the redcoats+british (which I mean, not complaining), but even they are allowed nuance at times. It's almost impossible for me to analyze the show just bc there's So Much to unpack but your description of Ramy really reminded me of it!
I actually went to high school with Ramy. Super talented and amazing person. So surreal seeing a thought slime video on him.
I’ve noticed a new trend for shows with deep, realistically motivated characters like this one. I really love it.
Gonna watch this show.
Is this the permanent direction of the Eyeball Zone? :(
If so, I'll miss it. I'm glad the intent and purpose is still there....but I'll miss it.
Thank you for the crisp audio. It makes a big difference to do it in front of the green screen. ❤
This was one of those episodes from Slime-o that I thought I wouldn't like as much for some reason. Boy was I wrong. Loved this, thanks TS!
