Why are "Life Hack" videos so stupid? (Simply Nailogical & Ben reflect)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 28 вер 2024
- Somewhere in the stupid banality of testing Banana Life Hacks, Ben and I reflect on the culture of the Life Hack genre and its informational emptiness, question why people click, and go on a tangent in discussing the frustration felt among audiences when UA-camrs repeatedly remind everyone that they work the hardest. What do you think? montage comment down below!

Ben brought a different kind of tea today.

Omg teaaaa
Cristine sounds so different when she's being serious.
ikr????
she is a mythic bitch when she is serious ;)
nyxxtheaverage Yes she does
Simply momlogical™
True
As someone who makes 14 an hour at a 9-5 job and hates it, this video felt like a hug
“I don’t think UA-cam needs another boyfriend of a successful youtuber making a UA-cam channel” ooooh this should have been in the main video
i love him but 'tyler williams'
You know, Ben has a youtube channel. XD
@@zaimitsuru5845 that is rarely uploaded to lol
funny bc now he has one
He had that account 8 years ago. So...
The amount of crap Cristine puts Ben through and he just sits back and smiles with her is great! The Mom and Dad segments are truly awesome, Ma & Pa logical are goals.
ikr, both my parents are useless tbh, ma and pa logical are who i come to for advice XD
@@robyndare7723 lol
Robyn Dare your comment is so relatable lmao
i love the fact that you guys are one of the few youtubers who haven't lost contact with reality. it's really refreshing to see you be real and still have fun on here. keep it up bois
Nice Smoothie there ;)
And I agree, Cristine and Ben are both extremely humble and down to reality. Despite getting good income from UA-cam, Cristine haven't left her day job, which she loves. I aspire to be like Cristine now. Fun and goofy, but serious and mature and educated.
Thank you so much for this video! I I find it really frustrating to see big youtubers, especially vloggers, whine about how hard their life is. I am a full time student with two jobs I hate but need, just to earn enough money to be able to afford food. You vlog your life and can afford going on a vacation in a 5 star hotel four times a year and buy anything you want. Which is great! I would love that as well but a little self-reflection doesn't hurt. Sorry for the rant but it was nice getting some reassurance on this
SAME! i'm a full time student with two jobs, i graduate in May and i'm struggling to figure out how to afford graduate school. i love that Cristine and Ben are so real and will talk about subjects like this.
Exactly like we students have something so complain about. I feel like these UA-camrs only say their life is hard to try and connect with us but really they have no idea and live in a bubble just like celebrities.
thank you!
preach!
Thank ya'll for pointing out the difference between "working hard" and "hard work." Both are valid, but they're not entirely comparable, especially in terms of physical and mental toll.
ben and cristine always turn into philosophers in these videos and im here for it
*Troom Troom employees eliminating their rivals*
It's not a problem anymore.....
Crazy Potaut bahahahaha
Crazy Potaut IM SOBBING
yes
Oh my god 😂😂
Crazy Potaut cue illuminati music
I feel like everyone who is on youtube changes their personality a little bit while being filmed, I think ben is the exception.
I just wanna say i love your profile picture😂
And yeah i agree.
As a 19 year old who works two jobs, I appreciate the serious talk at the end ❤💛❤💛❤
You can tell that Ben is regretting some life decisions, but is still enjoying himself at the same time
I think Ben kinda likes being grumpy lol
It bothers me to see people that in my eyes at least are unworthy of the success they are having. I love Cristine and Ben for pointing this out, because I agree, not enough people speak up against this and instead actually stimulate this what I think, is a bad development in society. These two are the most genuine couple on UA-cam and I really appreciate that.
i totally agree with you! seeing all these successful youtubers takes away all my motivation to do anything
Christine being real about 9-5s. My fav UA-cam who works and makes great nail art vids!
Lauren *made* great nail art videos
Agreed. I love the fact that she still does the 9-5 grind and recognizes the the UA-cam thing can sometimes be pretty idiotic...
There’s no h
*CRISTINE
Thank you. I work part-time retail at a Shopper's Drug Mart. I have a BSc and an MSc. It took me almost a year to find my retail job and I've been looking for full-time work for two years now. It just feels nice to be acknowledged. All I want is your day job - working for the government (we apparently live very close to each other based on the Dollar Tree you went to lol)
Can totally relate, i have 2 Science degrees and I'm currently unemployed. The highest paid job I've ever had was a retail assistant in London 😔
I have two bachelors degrees and I work 3 jobs so I can afford to live. Two of my jobs I work with babies and young children with disabilities and my one job I work as a counselor in a domestic violence shelter. It’s frustrating to hear UA-camrs say how hard their life is and how hard they work with little to show for it while sitting on a pile of cash, as I work over 50 hours per week with disabled kids and traumatized adults struggling to make ends meet.
Y'all don't know how bad I want this video to go viral or just really popular or SOMETHING! I just need more people to hear the truth Cristine and Ben are spilling because it's what I think about all the time. Thank you guys for not being brainwashed like most of UA-cam ❤️
Amani Hossain personally I think that a lot of people know this, it’s just that we never really complain about it cuz like, what’s the point, you know? And the people who are in a position, as in, they have a really big following, to create videos that perhaps engage with people on a more real level are typically so in that UA-cam bubble that they really don’t think about it anyway :/
Poor Ben
Vanessa Blanco he has bananas so *its not a problem anymore*
Byeeeen
Vanessa Blanco BEYYYN
Ben needs his own channel. Just, "meaningful talks with Ben". Like Rob Czar used to do with beer. 😂
WorldReligion I need him to do a podcast where he talks about real shit, sometimes with other people like Cristine or Threadbanger. Extra points if he includes content that would get him canceled in the “booty community”
They’ve got their podcast now. Highly recommend if you guys haven’t checked it out yet. SimplyPodLogical on YT and Spotify
The reflections segment... That is the exact reason I stopped watching a couple of makeup channels. Oh, you're exhausted today? You filmed twoooo videos in your California mansion? You're complaining to the very people who make your lifestyle possible, by watching your videos and using your codes and buying your products. Get some damn perspective. Anyway, rant over, thank you Cristine and Ben for being smart and sharing your thoughtful wisdom and humor with the world! 💖💿
lil giz Whaaat I didn't name any names... ;)
I actually agree with you, but I also think that for some you tubers when they talk about being exhausted they’re also traveling and doing other hints behind the scenes, ya know?
Jamie Lamie that's a very good point. Traveling, doing appearances, and having meetings behind the scenes are all definitely time consuming and mentally draining. I should clarify that it was comments made on snapchat, specifically about filming and posting videos, that led me to unfollow. I just can't imagine working half a day and then complaining to my boss that my job is hard, especially if I know my boss works longer hours and does a lot to support me. It was just a comment that was made too often for my liking, but then again I'm not in the target demographic so my opinion is irrelevant. Everybody is entitled to a good whine once in a while, but I think some people who owe their success and lifestyle to their UA-cam subscribers should not, essentially, be telling the subscribers that making content for them is a burden. Again, that's just how it came across to me, and I totally agree that it is definitely a lot of hard work to maintain a successful channel and brand!
Anyone elsewant a "Ben Reflets" Channel
Copyright Abubu
YES
I think the reason that a lot of people don't call out youtubers who whine about how much work they do in the comments (relative to their own work) is an age thing. A lot of more vocal commenters and people involved in youtube communities haven't reached an age yet where they know how much work a 9-5 or a shift job is. And as a result when their favourite youtuber posts an emotional video about how tough their life is (an emotional video they also profit with), they don't question it. And are likely to downvote and insult the shit out of anyone who does dare to question it.
EvileLlamaThingeh Agreed. Anyone with any sense will get targeted on a witch hunt by their rabid fans who will come with every excude in the book- especially on Twitter. It's just not worth it.
Honestly, that's everyone on Twitter, no matter what the community.
*is it weird that I'm kinda into this*
Idk why but I love when Ben calls her Cris... It's adorable
Ben's face while eating the banana is hilarious 😂😂😂 Happy Birthday Benana😂🎂🍌
Can we get a simplymomlogical and dad podcast
Simone Cruice-Barnett we need a petition to start this
Cristine: "Ben, this was meant to be a happy day for you. I got 20 banana life hacks... NOT DEPRESSION"
Literally me everyday
I'm a 28 year old father of two. My daughter watches your videos for the nail art. Now I'm sucked in and I keep watching these things. What's happening to my life?
I want to let you know I love this comment. Keep living the dream Dad.
You're an amazing dad.
HAHAHA, you’ve fallen into the spiral now. there’s no going back
Welcome to the Holosexual Family, HoloDad.
Thats awesome! Welcome to the fam! We put holo in our teeth here!😂
Wish I could like this video more than once!
100% how I feel about UA-cam culture
As someone who's going to college for at least 6 years (4left!) to work for the next forty for about average money (at pediatric speech pathology which by the way I love and am passionate about) it's sometimes annoying to see these people the same age drop out of college (or not go at all) to make millions from vlogging themselves getting coffee everyday, shopping at expensive stores, and complaining about editing one video each week. Their ideas arent even original or unique. One person does a "trend" and every youtuber does the same exact video for a month.
This is why I love your channel
You are a great example of someone doing what they love in addition to a 9-5. So glad you did this type of video when a lot of your viewers are young people wanting to be UA-camrs.
Trust me. I am extremely creative. I love decorating and can do better and more useful diys and "life hacks" than half these people I watch. But I'm not gonna drop out of college to do it.
To younger people reading this:
Get a degree in what you can live off of (hopefully you enjoy it) THEN do your hobbies on the side. If you can make money doing it great! For example, my twin brother is studying engineering. He wants to build an app or invent something, but he acknowledges the fact that it's not guaranteed to happen or create lasting revenue so he's studying a sure thing that he can live off of first.
Sorry for the long comment. Just remember, being a youtuber is not a lasting job and college is way more important and useful. Think towards the future. Don't focus so much on instant gratification.
Laurel Rogers Good for you doing speech pathology. You will actually be performing an important service that drastically improves people's lives. To me, that is something to be proud of.
Good comment, well i fully agree with you, but then irl I kinda struggle with my stable job. Not really enjoying it. While studied in college I was thinking "eh I can keep with this". But now the problems, while for some people those can be challanging and fun... I feel its monotous, boring, just adding stress into mylife. My job is the one kind of stable and the most easy to find in my country, yet for me its lack of colour and creativity and fun.
Maybe I dont have good mentality, like you do. Do you have any idea how to handle this (if this had happend in your life)? I would glad to hear your opinion about this.
Bring on ALL the Logicals!!
*Hiiiii, Cristine and Ben!*
Holo 4 life in da hizzle. 👊 Ha
I just have to say, you both have such a great way of complimenting each other. It's awesome and hysterical to watch!
Thank yous for being you. 💚💚
THATS WHAT IM SAYING. TELL ME WHY DOCTORS WHO GO THROUGH A MILLION YEARS OF SCHOOL AND LITERALLY SAVE LIVES MAKE LESS THAN PPL WHO POST RANDOM VIDEOS ONCE A WEEK.
Not sure what country you are in, but they still make a ton of money in the US. It's one of the many factors in why our medicine costs so much.
Rebecca O'Sullivan obvious, but they don’t easily become millionaires like youtubers do. They have to spend 8 years max or even more to get where they have to go and get a 6 figure salary, while youtubers only post content every week about “Things I got from Wish!” Or “story time” videos and become rich off of that.
Because society rewards stupidity. Look at that "cash me outside" girl. She paid for her mother's mortgage or something.
N E. Fr, and then the smaller children start growing up with these horrible “role models”, for instance, logan and jake paul are complete idiots(in my opinion) and they have a huge fan base off of their stupidity. And then there are people struggling most their lives actually working extremely hard to make money while the paul brothers do some of the most idiotic things and can still rake in millions of views and dollars and have loyal ass fans.
The Paul's are garbage and their cult-like fanbases are terrifying.
Honestly, they both already reflected so I've got nothing to say anymore.
It's just that THIS is a real couple. They listen to each other so intently, and Ben somehow handles Cristine. #RelationshipGoals
Carry on doing whatever you both are doing that keeps this relationship going because this is everything. 💕
I really love your realtalks, makes us all think more about life.
Would apreciate more of it! I can listen to it for soooo long and it really helps me get on with my life and feel not alone with many "after college problems"
Thank you both so much for sharing these thoughts with us!
NerondaKuro c
Cristine be proud. You make at least half a million a year. That isn’t peanuts girl
Cinderfire that is more money than most ppl see in a lifetime
And she works Monday-Friday at an office
This may be the best video you've ever released on this channel. I couldn't agree more with you about the dumb "life hacks" that don't make anything easier, ever! Some other things I hate that so many entitled UA-camrs do are monthly "favorite" videos because I really don't give af WHAT they bought (or were sent) that they "love" this month, all the stupid "haul" videos with bag after bag of crap they never NEED, AND those disgusting PR box openings. I can't hardly believe makeup companies send NOBODIES that average 5-10,000 views PR boxes worth THOUSANDS of dollars! I've seen them get EVERYTHING, in every color, an entire line makes. It's not like a woman with fair skin can use chocolate colored foundation. But now I understand why some foundations cost $30+ a bottle-- it's because they send out hundreds of thousands of dollars of FREE stuff to people who don't need it. (It's also why all the women's magazines show photos of new cosmetics spilled all over or hacked out of the pans.) It's all so horribly wasteful. Those videos are just so... "Look how special *I am,* and how much stuff *I have* that YOU DON'T and never will." It's disgusting. There's one UA-camr with whom I have a love-hate relationship because she's just SO entitled. She wastes SO MUCH money! Her monthly "budget" just for herself (salon services, HUGE Sephora hauls, constant Stitch Fix and other subscription boxes, cosmetic procedures, teeth whitening and etc.) is at least three times my whole family's ENTIRE monthly budget, and she doesn't even have a JOB. I understand why there are whole webpages dedicated to people who hate her.
@The Pickles-- And you have too much time on _your_ hands if you read all that and *then* had enough time to leave a snide comment. And yes, I DO have too much time on my hands. I have a degenerative nerve disease (very painful) and have been forced out of my profession and onto disability. I used to do pen and ink art but that was exacerbating my nerve disease to the point where I had to wear a wrist brace to lift the covers off myself in bed. Any other potshots you wanna take at the middle-aged crippled lady?
Don't let these people get to you. They are only a fraction of a people. Let them be. They will suffer in the future. Very few of them have actually been intelligent enough to launch a successful business out of their UA-cam business. I look at these entitled people on the Internet and think that one day they will be suffering a lot. They have built up a habit of spending too much. And then when their subscribers will leave ( they will leave because people actually have life. Not everyone is going to watch their videos for years and years) , they will suffer. UA-cam isn't a life long career. UA-cam is already getting stricter about paying people. And UA-cam isn't going to be there forever. Seeing these people spend money like water really irritates me too but whatever. Its their life. Let them destroy it or build. Let's live our own life happily okay?
dude dont watch if u dont like it i personally like watching hauls and unboxing videos they dont hurt anyone with those videos you can easily avoid those videos WITHOUT CLICKING THEM
kena it doesn't change the fact that they're still being uploaded daily.
calichef1962 who were you talking about? Was it Safia Nyggard?
my favorite thing about you as a youtuber and bens role is that you guys are so realistic about life. really hit me in the heart about the money thing. love u guys
I cannot love this particular video anymore if I tried. You both hit the nail on the head and made so many good points. A lot of UA-camrs have forgotten the value of money because it's essentially just being thrown at them at this point, with undoubtedly less stress than you would get working in either a food or retail industry (I've done both- I cry er'ry time). Cristine actually still works outside of UA-cam.
You two are just awesome.
Wait was Ben’s birthday the day this was filmed or the day this was uploaded?
Either way, happy birthday Ben(ana)!!!
Margaret Rose the day it was uploaded
I'm a working college student and I absolutely agree with your reflection. I cannot watch most youtubers that try and shove $2000 makeup down my throat, like I need to have it.
This is why I began following you. I love how worried you are about society and people you don't know! You're channels are awesome and make chuckle as well as my two girls :)
you two are the most normal people on youtube and I don't even care for nail stuff, I just love how relatable you guys are.
2:04 - 2:06 reflecting on my life...
I think though that what UA-camrs like Lilly Singh, D-Trix and Ryan do work maybe harder than the average person with even conventional jobs. Because they do scripted content that requires hardwork, production etc.
Lilly runs Girl Love, works with UNESCO, has started a production company, has done two world tours and has never done dumb videos of challenges and hauls.
Radhika Somani not those youtubers i think she means the ones who complain about how hard they work and don't really have much to show for it.
lara renji True. I guess all the people who just do a few hauls, make-up looks and favourites!
Radhika Somani she explained. Maybe Lilly Singh is an exception but being a youtuber is not the same level of work as a nine-five job.
Radhika Somani Listen don't buy it. They are not working as hard as the average 9-5er. Don't fall for it. You're defending your favorite youtubers but they are not the exceptions. Yes its a real job, no they are not working as hard as most people. The youtubers you mentioned have editors now. Thet don't even edit their own videos anymore. Don't confuse hard work with effort. Their work takes effort, but no it's not hard.
Yah and they were making fun of "Hustle Harder" ugh. Maybe we don't get it?
It makes me really happy that Ben and Cristine discuss all jobs, not just office jobs. It is so easy to talk about hard working people and only talk about office workers. Shout out to non office dwellers!
Who else wants a boyfriend like BEYNN?
prakriti Singh nahh, I want a girlfriend like Cristine. (Wish I could actually have her, but, well....we all know.)
@@Abbsizzle late af but I already have a boyfriend like beyn uwu. I wish I had a girlfriend like cristine though lmao 😣 (also, i cant believe it's already been a year since the banana video??)
ben is so over life
Your intelligent discussion of what constitutes "work" halfway through this video is what made it for me. As someone who's teaching six classes at four different colleges this semester AND producing a podcast (and maybe even launching a vlog), I can definitely attest to the difference of doing 9-5 work and doing the work of producing this type of content - which you do brilliantly, by the way. I would totally listen to a regular podcast of you and Ben discussing stuff like this all the time. Thanks again for the great video!
Ben needs a channel!
Well these outtakes *ArEn'T a PrObLeM aNyMore*
#freetheblueeyedgirl
You guys are my favorite people on UA-cam. You guys have your heads on straight. It makes me happy that the two of you have REAL jobs and make UA-cam videos for fun, and that it's not your main source of income. I also love how upfront you are about UA-cam and the stupid spoiled UA-camrs on here.
Who else remembers that show "Bananas in Pajamas" like if you do
I had no idea it aired outside of Australia!!!!
I did and I loved it so much! It's so weird to hear someone mention it lol
Henrietta Mireku bananas in pyjamas are running down the stairs
Bananas in pyjamas are running in their pairs! Something like that!
neither! :o I wonder if it was dubbed in a US accent?
‘I got you 20 banana hacks not depression!’ I’m fkn ded 😂😂😂😂
THANK YOU! Someone finally said it!! There are several youtubers that I quit watching because of the constant complaining about the work they had to do 🙄🙄 Oh your life must be so hard, staying up till 3am watching Netflix, waking up at 1pm and then MAYBE filming a half ass video.
I like that you guys are talking about the comparison with a normal average job and youtubers job. Because you see both.
I appreciate the #serioustalk at the end. Id like to see some of these "hard working" hack video producers try to like, teach one of my classes, or do a construction job lol
I mostly just want a change of all the shade and random things ben talks about, it oddly makes me feel less lonely, plus I just like listening to random people talk for hours on end
Thanks mom+dad!
Did you mean: mum and dad giving their children a lecture
I love when Cristine and Ben just start talking and it gets so deep. I can really see why they chose each other in life and that makes me really happy. Also I genuinely enjoy hearing what they have to say about some bull shit things in the world.
I'm reminded of Arin from Game Grumps. He got insanely lucky at a young age by being recognised as an animator on Newgrounds and youtube and managed to make it a career. Then he and another fairly prominent UA-cam personality made a gaming channel, and they became known largely for making some of the first personality driven comedy gaming content.
Now Arin, CEO of a company that came about mostly through sheer luck, says that school is a waste of time because he dropped out of high school.
Hi, I'm Beyyyynn, I'm 30, and I HAVE A BASKETBALL GAME TOMORROW
Christine being serious is the weirdest thing ever XD
I totally agree with this video. There’s this one you tuber who I will not name (*cough* *cough* Deligracy), I used to love them before they had loads of subscribers because you could tell she put effort in but now, you can tell she doesn’t care. When a few of her videos got demonetised she had a rant how she puts a lot of effort in and this is her job, but a few videos and she’s poor? I don’t think so. This is just one example of many UA-camrs who annoy me with this, and I can proudly say I don’t want to be a UA-camr for my job.
Nicole Frisby Well actually demonatization can pretty harmfull if you are not an international UA-camr. You create videos in a not popular language. Your audiance is much smaller. The thing is that a peek of view for a video is just after uploading. And if UA-cam's algorithm marks your video as not safe you can disagree and they often say that your right, but you already lost most of the money, because your viewers have already seen the video. This a thing for gaming channels. You make a review of a game but the game itself is 18+. You don't put anything bad in the video, but game's name is in the title. It's enough. And I understand why people are a bit salty...
Sway Tree I agree with you 100% but I’m saying some UA-camrs aren’t acting right about it and they should handle the situation differently.
I used to watch deligracy too, and I had the same problem. Like I dont think she knows what being poor actually is lol
Loreli G I know I really used to enjoy her content but now it’s just rubbish and it seems forced and that she doesn’t want to make videos.
Nicole Frisby What annoyed me about demonitization is all the UA-camrs who cried about being poor after one or two demonitized videos. I get that it pays their bills but it's also generally smart to put some money away for savings every pay check...so when they whine about being poor theyre either lying or were stupid spending. Idk about everyone else but I don't have any sympathy for anyone who was stupid with their money. UA-cam is now their full time job so they need to act like it and be responsible since they're self-employed. Fans aren't responsible for their hobby-turned business failing and should be responsible to pay for it (coufhPATREONcough)
BANANAS IN PAJAMAS WAS MY ANTHEM!!!!!
This is so good. There are kids who dropped out of high school and there are kids who are seniors in high school who can’t go to college because they can’t afford it, even with some of them working multiple jobs already, and with government aid, and with scholarships... it’s just ridiculous
Ben and Cristine are the best parents
"its not a problem anymore!"
My husband drives 45 minutes to work every morning, installs kitchen appliances, fixes plumbing, snakes out peoples sump pumps, crawls under houses to fix leaks (in a North Dakota winter of an average 0°F) and then drives home, perpetually an hour later than he is supposed to. He is generally gone an average of 11 1/2 hours a day. For $15/hour. That's it. 26 and his back is already messed up, his knees hurt constantly, and after going to the hospital we found out he is in the beginning stages of arthritis in his wrists. That is the kind of stuff a lot of people struggle with. I can't find a job that doesn't pay minimum wage, and it would cost money, in the end, for me to work since the cost of day care for our sons would take up more money than I would make. So I have to stay home, slowly going out of my mind because I am always alone. That is real life, youtubers.
Fanatical Trekkie (half jokingly, half not:) you should start a UA-cam channel. We’ve all established it takes zero talent or skills. Just find a niche in the saturated market.
Joy ce you’re not watching the right youtubers then. There are plenty that have real skill/talent
HeyyitzAlyssa there certainly are, but there are way too many channels like troomtroom who are popular for whatever odd reason. Those are the ones I refer to.
I love the videos on this channel...you guys are so down to earth and adorable.
Please start a podcast lol
This is a little TL;DR but I hope it's worth a read.
Whenever Ben joins you for a video, I like the real-world perspective he brings into it. I think you both are two of the most honest people on UA-cam in terms of not making up a fake personality and being up-front about what you don't like about UA-cam/UA-camrs for the sake of making money.
I don't think I've heard this level of realtalk in any of your other videos so this is definitely one of my new favorite videos. I really enjoy when you guys talk about the inconguencies between what UA-camrs say and their audience. Not many UA-camrs are willing to be so open about these topics and I think that is what has caused the surge of young viewers to be fooled into thinking they can easily make a life out of making videos with sub-par content and not need to go to college; the people influencing these kids aren't doing anything to dissuade this behavior because they probably didn't get an education and haven't had to work a 9-5, so they don't know the real world struggle. It's almost like taking advice from a cartoon...
So I think influential figures like the two of you have a much less harmful impact on the more impressionable viewers because you're willing to break the stigma (I guess you could call it) of choosing telling the truth over giving us bullshit that we hear from every other sorry-for-themselves UA-camr that gets to go on "business trips" *cough*vacation*cough* every couple weeks but still complains about being exhausted from work.
*** TL;DR Thank you for breaking the UA-cam 4th wall and talking so candidly and honestly and giving your viewers advice that will actually help them in life, like getting an education.
ItS nOt A ProBLem AnyMoRE
Who else thinks it would be funny for ben and Christine to re create troom troom thumbnails?😂
Happy Birthday ! I love the when mom and dad come out with real life advice/talks.
I love how you guys think so deeply about the stuff you just talked about in the end of the video. There's not many people who do that and have the courage to post it on UA-cam itself. I mean ofcourse i truly believe some youtubers work way harder than we think but it's people who don't even do anything else apart from making a catchy/clickbaity thumbnail to fool their viewers and you can't do anything about it, you know you're gonna fall for it again bc it's human psychology. Oh well my paragraph is a little too long ok bye 😂❤
some youtubers like animators work really hard and are only able to post one video a month they take the time to make quality animations that we as viewers will enjoy.
IRadin Xd Yes, but then you have other UA-camrs...like Emma Chamberlain. I like her videos, but she made one video that was about “Why i dropped out of school” which made me angry because she basically talked about how hard she works and hated school so much and couldn’t handle it. That video made me mad because that doesn’t compare at all to having a full time job and having to work hours at a time, then making vlogging videos (lol I was thinking it about sorry it’s so long 😐)
Ben is so woke I love him
Sujata 999 like ;))
"wokelogical"
Daisy Stalls shut up you grandma
Ben is like that one Uncle who complains about the economy and “what society has come to”, but isn’t too annoying about it and is still the cool uncle
That made no sense but it’s what he reminds me of
Happy birthday H💿L💿 Dad!!!! 🍌
Hope is it weird how I completely know what u mean
and he's totally right about it
Hope He says all the this stuff but he hasn't watched the video yet..
I have an uncle exactly like that, you're not the only one that relates lol
Okay, Ben is officially my favorite.
Mari S he was my favorite when he first got on camera lmao
Yessss
What about menchie
I love him!

I love watching Cristine’s* videos and then remembering that she also works and office job, and puts out videos at the same time.
Tori Jones cristine **
Nicole LaBonte plz no
Tori Jones if you are a true HOLOSEXUAL you would know that you wrote Cristine’s name incorrectly, you wrote Cristine with H..... however it is without the H.... Cristine is the right way of writing her name😊👌🏻
Bella Montero Bonilla Oof I apologize my friends name is Christine so my phone wanted to correct to how I normally spell it.
which job does she have
‘Are there any period hacks?’
‘Shove up a banana to make it stop’
It's not a problem anymore!
@@adleysketches1701 Jesus I literally just choked on my popcorn.
No tampon applicator? Just insert it using a banana peel.
*iTs NoT a PrObLeM aNyMoRe*
I had to Google "magnets stop" since I didn't get Cristines accent 🤣
I love that you two really say what so many of us think...even if it's maybe taboo in the "community".
Then again, y'all both have day jobs.
YYES
They are both statisticians.
+Catherine Thomas yes, that's why I said that they both had day jobs although I thought Beyyynn was an accountant and Cristine was a crime analyst/statistician?
kate carew i love how you said Beyyyynnnn so casually lmao
+Wulmert ha! Is there any other way?!?
😜
I love the laughter and fun of Simply's videos; but, is it strange that I really enjoy it when Ben and Cristine just sit down for a few minutes, get real and talk logic?
thinktinkful no it is not strange at all. I love their talking session too:)
thinktinkful I'd listen to their podcasts if they'd have any. It's nice, because they're chill and in touch with the youth, but also in touch with the world and what's going on around them so it builds a bridge for us who are just aimlessly on the internet (In my opinion, because I may be considered an 'adult' but I know I don't know much about the world)
Ah finally real UA-camrs
Lmao! 😂😂
“UA-cam doesn’t need another boyfriend of a famous female UA-camr making a channel” 😂😂😂 SAVAGE SHERIFF BENANA!! Also, I am 34 years old and this made me spit out my drink laughing. Well done Beeyenn.
who was he referencing?
LostMatcha A lot of people. David Dobrik, for example. He is Liza Koshy's boyfriend, and she's a successful UA-camr, but so is he. I'm sorry, I'm not really good at explaining but yeah.
Yeah, Julien is the first one who came to my mind, though I effing love Julien. Safiya's bf also has his own channel now, I think.
Danielle Spargo Tyler does have a channel, he’s cute but I know most people watch his vids looking for more Saf
"i got you 20 banana life hacks not DepResSIoN"
Katie well now Ben has both
everyone @ me
Katie she's adorable, isn't she!!!!!
Omg as I started reading your comment she said exactly what you commented as I read it.
It’s the same thing
*CRISTINE THEY DELETED YOUR COMMENT ON THE VIDEO BECAUSE IT GOT MORE LIKES THAN THE VIDEO!!!!* 😂😂😢😢
Tess the CatYT omg!!!
Tess the CatYT what a damn shock😂😂
Or they secretly watch her and knew what she did 😂
Tess the CatYT what was the the comment?
WOW 🙀
I LOVE how intellectual and down to earth you both are. I can watch your content and I feel like I'm actually watching real people which is so rare with other creators now. Not that I don't respect what they do, but you guys really keep that balance of good content and being a regular person. Its just really inspiring to me. Its the pick me up I needed right before I start college so thank you. 💖💞💗
Ben & Christine need to definitely make a podcast or something. Right?
Mando N. YES
id listen or watch the shit out of that
Mando N. Hell yeah!
Mando N. Cristine*
YESSSS
I think that Cristine thinks that when Simplymomlogical comes out to play, then her videos get boring, but I really like listening to Cristines views because she's really smart and it's nice to see her be serious. I love simplymomlogical.
Anna S YASSSSSSSSSSSSS maybe that's why I'm equally as into her being serious as her being crazy/funny, and it just makes me more into her altogether; because she's freaking smart!! And I fucking love that in a woman!!!!!!!!!!!😍😍😍😍😍😍❤💕❤💕❤💕🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Me too, non gender specific bro
Jeremy Ray Taylor's on Savage Mode thanks my non gender specific bro
You are one of the most honest UA-camrs. You may have a few acts you put on for exaggeration of entertainment, but you are not afraid to be blunt and truthful witb viewers and I deeply respect that.
I'm pretty sure cristine is doing UA-cam for fun and not making money off of it, which is why she's so down to earth
Rainsplash She does make money off it, but it’s not her or Ben’s only source of income so they don’t take it as seriously as most other youtubers who have their level of subscribers. Cool thing about having an actual career!
Do Ben or Cristine have other jobs then if it's not their only source of income?
sentimental sock yeah they do have other jobs. They did mention in some videos.
sentimental sock They both have office jobs. As far as I know, Cristine is a statistician - she analyzes the data from crime scenes. So UA-cam is literally something she does on the side for fun on the weekends
"Is it weird that I'm kinda into this?" --Ben, 2018
AlicePlays kinky 😂😂😂
god damnit im a kid but #likeno69
AlicePlays it's your turn on.
it’s not even the first time he’s said it omgg ben stop
*This whole video, I honestly thought I was alone in thinking all the exact same things.*
I love when you guys get real with us. It's my favorite. HBD Ben!
The comment about how UA-cam doesn't need another boyfriend of a successful girlfriend. So true. *I cried*
Meow Rchl same
Truth
Who do they mean please?
^^^^seriously!!! as a subscriber who isn’t 12 years old and sits in an office job it get paid an 1/8 of what a youtuber does is upsetting. to see something that despite its filming and editing quality, has content that would be beneficial to absolutely no one ever (even comically) none the less to falsely advertise something as a “life hack” , or to click bait to an extreme-sImPlY (😉) to gain a view.
Simply mom and dad for president
Meow Rchl was thinking the same ❤
Words just can't express how much I absolutely LOVE you two!!! And Dad.....Amen!!!!!! Lol!
Molly Kennedy And Jen!
This is actually quite logical.
An important note on the 'youtubers work' discussion: It's also really condescending to poor people/people who live in poverty. Like, yes, you do work, but you do work *YOU ENJOY DOING* for way more than you ACTUALLY need to survive, whereas my father has worked himself to the point where on bad days he can BARELY MOVE without assistance and we have *NEVER* been financially sound. We have fought tooth and nail for every little scrap of anything, we've gone without soap before, without shampoo, without food, and that's with my dad keeping a steady job and being DILIGENT with his work.
Content creators on UA-cam work hard. but the work is not hard work. There is a huge difference between hard work and working hard. It's like comparing a 3 page event reflection essay to a 15 page research one (for sake of analogy the grade received is top marks on both): both people worked hard on the essay, but the 15 page one required more work and generally harder work (research essays are FAR harder than just writing 3 pages reflecting on an event).
(what i said doesn't apply to 'uploads videos daily' UA-camrs. That's a different ballpark)
Umber I love this comment, it makes such an important point that people seldom think about!
Umber I couldn’t agree more. IMO manual labor or retail are so much more exhausting than white collar jobs.
I’m also really glad that Cristine is doing scholarship giveaways. She’s promoting education and helping people who are actually struggling to pay to make their futures better. Beats any MacBook giveaway garbage in my book.
Umber 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Totally agree with this comment and especially the essay analogy!!!
Why do I want them to do a podcast about teaching us life lessons and just goofing off, lol please see this. I'd definitely listen to every episode if yall make one 😉
Christeeny that is a superb idea!!
YESSSSS OMG
omg i would def listen to that
Yes PLEASE
YEEEESSS
This is why I love Cristine, she actually acknowledges that being a UA-camr is way easier than what most people have to go through and she doesn’t act like she’s better than everyone else just cause she has 5 million subscribers. She also isn’t like many celebrities that are all like “Follow your dreams and you will make it!” Because the reality it that most people don’t make it when they just throw everything away to be a famous singer, actor or whatever else and it’s nice to see someone finally going against the norm of encouraging people to give everything up to do something that’s not very secure.
This is so long, rant over😂
She also works a real job, so she has perspective on what it's like to hit the daily grind. Cristine is amazing for sure
See i agree with this but I also do have to say people who do youtube full time and try to incorporate a business into it probably do work harder
see, this is why i believe youtubers are overpaid.
There are millions of people out there who work just as hard as you tubers do, so no, they don't really work "harder" than regular people. What people don't realize is that when you tubers get really big to the point that they're celebrities, they're not doing everything themselves anymore. Even if they film and edit everything on their own, they have sponsors and income, which allows them to have access to better tools. They can afford lawyers and people to help them out etc.
There are certain UA-camrs that complain that they're just getting by and they barely upload videos.
lmao "i dont think youtube needs another boyfriend to the successful female youtuber making a channel". he really is savage omg hahahahahahaha
