This is a bizarre request out of left field but you should totally do a character breakdown of the newest version of The Stand..2 days ago I looked to see if you had already done that, saw that you didn't, and thought I should message you with that request..happy coincidence I crossed you here *=)* Cheers
I was born in 1972, and this creepy behavior was absolutely acceptable back then. You were always expected, as a child, to kiss anyone your parents were introducing you to, basically any adult who asked. Saying no was not an option, it was considered rude. As a kid I hated it, I am sure we all did. I made a pledge to myself even back then that I would never make my kids kiss anyone, even relatives, unless they wanted to. I don't know why anyone ever thought this was ok, but they did.
I was born in 1981 too and yep, at church etc had to let old men shake my hands for way too long and jokingly propose marriage etc and I hated it. It made me so uncomfortable and I'd just stand there trying to disappear so I didn't have to feel that dry, wrinkly hand stroking mine. I have a kid of my own and will never force him to hug or kiss or be touched by ANYONE he doesn't want to. I He's 3 but I can pick up on his physical cues and can tell when he's uncomfortable and will intervene on his behalf every time.
Yep..i remember being at a funeral home, ( 1972?) my uncle dragging me over to say goodbuy to my nan, (his mother)..i was hysterical, crying and didn't want to see her ( open casket). Pièce de résistance..he was a priest.
As a 1973 baby I can say that yes, your 80's song would have been a hit. If you frosted the tips of your shaggy mullet, feathered your bangs and cemented them with hairspray, move over Cindy Lauper.
1978 baby here! I can confirm the song would have been a hit, and the fashion suggestions would've made her a star! She would've blown Frank away totally. Gave his creeptacular heart an attack🤣🤣
Goodness gracious. ‘84 baby here. I hated being asked for affection when I was a little girl. I’m so thankful that nobody in my family of grandparents, aunts, or uncles were ever touchy-feely. I’d give my grandpa and uncles a hug because I wanted to, and they’d hug me back. It was never asked of me. And my grandpa would only say things like, “how are you liking school?”, “are you keeping up with your studies?”, “I’m so proud of you”. (He was the best, and I miss him.) But it was strange older men at parties that were weird like this.
@@MicahMicahel What's wrong with forcing a child to do something that makes them supremely uncomfortable, just to satisfy an adult's desire to be kissed by the child? Wait, no, you've got a point. It absolutely is selfish... of anyone to require that of a child.
@ we have a society that doesnt even understand the word love when kissing old people is considered disgusting. We've embraced cold heartedness. we used to have a society that put their wallets in their hackets and left the room... this is vecause there was more love. we had more love... you can tell people were warmer hearted in the past by reading old novels. You push anti love and call live selfish... love GIVES. Give an old orrson a kiss... stop being selfish. our nedia maligns the people from the past. We used to be taught to not only resoect but that love was not an option. you want to opt out if love... if i point out live gives, you shrunk away to your cold hearted preferences.
@ if it makes you so uncomfortable to be friendly and loving, if its torture to you, you are losing your ability to live or feel kindly to people and this is your cold hearted ideology that you are proud of?
@ Love doesn't look the same for everyone. Your refusal to accept that, and to respect people's bodily autonomy, shows a supreme lack of open-mindedness or empathy. For instance, I'm autistic. My personal space is incredibly important to me, and it makes me extremely uncomfortable to have people violate that, or to force me to violate it myself. Sometimes it's over-stimulating and overwhelming, and there's nothing I can do to completely change that, because it's a part of how my brain is wired. How can you call it love to force someone to do something counter to their nature, merely to follow a social convention? Love is about accepting people for who they are, and allowing them to express themselves and their love in a way that feels natural and comfortable for them. It's about not imposing yourself on them, but accommodating them. Believe it or not, a kiss doesn't equal love. Love is something you feel inside. A person can kiss someone without loving them, and a person can love someone without kissing them. If you think that it's right to force people to follow your customs and your ways of expressing love, without considering that people are different, that's what's truly selfish, and that's not real love.
I’m an 80s baby and this was the norm in my day. A grown man telling me we were going to get married. Men calling me attractive. One man (40s) sang a song to me saying I was the most beautiful girl in the world, while fixing our water heater. I was like 8 years old.
Hate to break it to you, it's just as bad or worse now. The 2000s have been some of the worse decades in the last 124 years. The entire elite and ruling class are now very open about what vulgar, shallow degenerates and pedophiles they are
Your story reminds me of how the priest of the Catholic church meet were very much involved with and part of again I'm one knee and sing "Laura is the name in the misty light" serenading me as I walked to folk group practice and school. Later on he ended up in huge trouble for molesting little boys. His name was Father John Aurelio and you can look him up online. He actually was famous for having a handicapped thing put into a pool for physically challenged people to be able to swim in the West Seneca pool. He even wrote a children's book believe it or not. He and his best friend were super close friends of my parents and they used to hang out at her house regularly and eat dinner with us.
In the "preaching", it just feels like he's talking about himself instead of god. They "he has plans for you" out of his mouth sounds like a threat. It gives me goosebumps
This brought back so many flashbacks for me. When I was in elementary school during the 90’s, the school janitor who was also a family friend, about 50 years old, would always call me his girlfriend. Never did anything inappropriate, but he would call me that and it was just more embarrassing because I was already getting bullied, but to be called some middle aged guys’ girlfriend when I was 5-13 years old really didn’t help. He did it around my parents too and they never said anything to him about it. Being a parent now, I can’t imagine just letting some middle aged adult call my children their boyfriend or girlfriend repeatedly for years.
My Dentist did this, called me his little girlfriend and yeah he never did any inappropriate but just, what? At the time I was a little girl and I thought he was handsome so I didn't mind but why was my Mom ok with that? If my kid's dentist said something like that I would switch Dentists
There is a creep in our town, he would call me or my adult daughter up while we were at work and ask what color of underwear the one of us would be wearing, well one evening I just happen to be there when my daughter was working her shift, and he called, I grabbed that phone so fast and literally threatened his life if he were to ever call her and harass her again. He said sorry and that was that.
My parents had a friend close to the same age that would call me his future wife, talked about how he was gonna marry me and build a big house etc. If he called the house and I was the one answering he would start "teasing" me about it. They didn't have caller ID so we never knew who was calling or I'd have avoided it. I was very uncomfortable around him because of it, but they thought my reaction was just the funniest thing ever because "he didn't actually mean it". I brought up later how disturbing and abnormal it was for a man old enough to be my grandfather to even go near that sort of talk and for them to encourage it, but they still think it was harmless banter. 🙄
In the 80s a teen boy used to profess his love and propose to my little sister, I think she was 6 and I was 8? I thought it was kind of weird but all of the adults thought it was hilarious because my sister would turn her nose up at him. As an adult I think that was creepy AF.
I'm a man, 41 now. This was acceptable back in the day. Even if it was innocent, it still affected us boys too. I remember as a child I told my mom that her friend, who was older than my mom by 20 years, and that daughter, who would constantly touch me that it was uncomfortable, I didn't like it, and I got hit and told "[name redacted] loves you! That's her way of showing affection and she would give you gifts and if she wants to touch you, you accept it and know it's love!" There's no thought of ill intent from her daughter. And I will stand by that... but what our parents were teaching us is we were not allowed to have boundaries. That our bodies were not our own. Which is sad because you'd think my mother, who was assaulted in the way you think she was (my dad told me a few months ago), would teach us to respect our bodies. My two sisters' and I. For more than one reason, unfortunately, my two sisters both had addiction issues, one sister is dead, I had to join the army to get away from parents because my mother was so much of a helicopter mom, couldn't stand the fact I wanted to grow up, and learn how to be a man outside of the home.... I mean she tried to enforce a bedtime when I was 21, not even joking... I had to join an organization, sign my life away to get away from it. The irony is my unit was so micromanaging... it was as if I didn't leave home at some points. I've tried to seek therapy but can't talk with the VA because they either only want to talk about my PTSD from deployments, or will hear this sh** and more... and think "OH IT'S NOT THE DEATH AND WAR, IT'S HIS CHILDHOOD... CUT HIS COMPENSATION AND PENSION!!!" I'm 41 years old and there are times I feel as if I am not a true man, grown up. Sorry for the grammatical mistakes. Tired. Ranting. Too in my head to go back and edit.
I'm so sorry that you went through that and didn't have the autonomy and control of your life that you deserved. That's so frustrating about the VA too. In time, I hope you're able to heal.
I’m so sorry you went through all that and the adults around you weren’t acting like adults. And the VA is so frustrating 😣 I hope you’re surrounded by those who really love and care about you ❤
a boy used to beat me up, my mom would dismiss it as "he just likes you". Unsurprisingly, I ended up in an abusive relationship. You're free now buddy, don't let them live rent free in your head ❤
Thank you all for the kind support. I mean it. Sincerely. And it seems we all need to stick together. We are all going through this. Stay strong. Our strength gets stronger with one another.
The hosts are very creepy and inappropriate but they remind me of a lot of adults in my childhood. I was born in 1981. It made you feel uncomfortable but you just accepted their behaviour because it was the norm. I'm glad times have changed and that my children are taught about consent and raised with bodily autonomy.
I was born in the 80s and grew up in the 90s and I had tons of family members tease me and asking if I had a boyfriend all the time and it was mortifying. Pushing that crap on children is weird
This was literally how several adults treated me and my friends! Ick! It’s almost as if we were being groomed to believe that was normal adult behavior 🤔
I was born in 1981. My mom wouldn't put up with that crap. I don't think I had to kiss anyone. In fact, there was no kissing on the mouth either - much to my paternal grandmother's chagrin. We lived across the street from one old couple, and my mom would never let me out of her sight when we visited if the husband was around. I remember him saying it was ok for me to come with him when my mom called me back as I wandered off. I was usually allowed to wander when visiting the neighbors, mind you. A few years later, she told me the man was a chomo. He hurt his two daughters and granddaughter. Whole thing was messed up. She hadn't known what he'd done until his granddaughter told, but there were plenty of red flags - like one of his daughters had cut him out of her life, and he wasn't talking nice to me. Whole thing still chills me, but I'm glad my mom cared about me so much.
Please please please make videos of you doing a bunch of different songs, dances, stand up sets in this setting with all kinds of wild outfits and wigs!!
Born in 58... I HATED having to hug or kiss some relatives or people I didn't even know. I made sure none of my kids ever had to...same with my grandkids. They hug me now because they WANT to, and it's always THEIR choice.
I had social anxiety since i was a kid, and i hated strangers touching me no matter who it was so my parents would intentionally put their hands over my ears in public because at the time loud noises hurt my ears but it was also because it kept grown women from touching my face and trying to kiss my cheeks When it happened, i would cry and scream i always freaked out cause i didn't know these women grabbing my cheeks or touching my face or back even thou it was innocent I'm still that way to this day , i just use my headphones to cope with it
You know the saying “wise beyond your years” this is you , many people your age till this day believe otherwise. I am a teacher and had an assistant who is 53 years old , and got fired for being inappropriate with the kids , which in his defense he thought asking children (little girls) for hugs was normal behavior
I’m an 87 baby and I remember men being very uncomfortable with me as a young kid…. Always expecting a kiss, to sit on their knee, making wildly inappropriate and often sexual “jokes”. I don’t think I even realised how common and how grosse these kinds of things were until I was in my teens
What about "spankings" I had a relative give out birthday spankings. One for each year that continued till I was at least 12. He wasn't/isn't a creeper to my knowledge but that felt real uncomfortable and my parents just laughed uncomfortably. -90's baby
Wow! I’m certain your video dropped here because I was showing my 17 year old a video of The Gong Show yesterday…I had my kids in my early forties and myself being born in ‘65 this puts me near 60 YO…(the ‘70’s TV shows are forever etched into my memory)….i had never heard of this one though until this morning…OMG….what a creep fest it appears in that basement..I wonder what the hosts provided the parents to keep them busy while they preyed n their children…also, around the 19:55 time frame (during your beautiful song) I see you got the drummer to smile and actually move a little! You’re awesome…will be subscribing….Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
The host just is such a good example of why you HAVE to be mean sometimes and check people. These kids def didn’t have the power to do that but as parents it’s our job to not let ppl make our kids this uncomfortable. Don’t make your kids give ppl affection because “it’s innocent” this guy didn’t get get checked enough CLEARLY. And his wife just lets him act like that.
People didn't check men like that when this was made. I was in my teens in the 80s and had SO many creepy things happen to me and friends of mine - pretty exclusively by older men. It was a different time, nobody told us it was wrong and the adults around us never seemed too concerned about any of it so I think we just assumed this was something we had to put up with and find our own way to deal with it. Now, I'm not saying any of it is or was ok. Absolutely not, and when I had my own children (all girls) I was very aware of what was going on on their lives and had a husband who was very pro active re their safety. We always knew where they were and who they were with. We met and vetted any parent of our kids friends - because we both understood how very damaging even one bad experience with a predator would be for them. Back in the day people just didn't discuss such things and when they did no one seemed to care much or do anything. We, as children, had to watch out for each other - and we learned to do better by our own kids.
I was born in 89, and sadly this was STILL acceptable behavior and very common. I can't remember a single time where I wasn't made uncomfortable around grown men. When I was in 3rd grade my principal was OBSESSED with me. He called me HIS little victorian doll, and he would constantly seek me out. He would come to class and ask for me at random or call me to his office for no reason. It was so creepy. I remember my mom's friends would flirt with me, as young as 4 or 5 years old. My mom's friend started hitting on me at 11 and he would always tell me he would marry me one day etc. Another grown man picked me up and forced a kiss on my lips at 6 years old, my mom and her friends just laughed. I was raised not to question things or stand up for myself, but I'm a mother of two and I refuse to raise my kids that way.
@@BeingKyleBusch18nowadays it's the older women being predators. Sometimes it feels like it all a planned social experiment these things increased 10 fold when social media was introduced the dating scene also died right after
Yep, was a teen in the 80's and this happened to both boys and girls. During most of the 70's and 80's I had to hug and kiss my female siblings, aunts, grandmother, and extended family on the lips on a regular basis. My mother thought it was cute when one of my aunts would pull me tight against her and openly grope my butt and say "whooowhoo" out loud...every single time... when she hugged and kissed me for WAY too long. In that particular instance it was not innocent at all, even though it was considered acceptable. Crazy times, man!
Back when my husband and I owned an art gallery an older lady who loved our artwork used to come in a lot. She always tried to make our daughters give her a kiss or hug but they didn’t want to and I didn’t push it. She’d make comments about parents not teaching their kids manners these days and my thought was nah I was forced to kiss or hug loads of adults when I was uncomfortable doing so under the “good manners” umbrella. I’m so glad that ppl speak out against that kind of stuff now and that I stuck to my guns with that because I am prone to jump through hoops in order to not offend others.
An old church lady said something similar to me once about manners (regarding my own kids), I said "it's not good manners to kiss other people's children."
Im a 33 year old woman now, but growing up even in the 90s this stuff was still going on. When i was 6 years old one of my dads friends was constantly telling me i was a pretty little girl while leering at me, tried kissing me on the lips, overly affectionate, always trying to get me to sit on his knee and pat my bottom, and just generally always asking me if i liked boys yet etc, i was a very quiet and at the time undiagnosed autistic child, so i would squirm or shrink and go mute as his presence was repugnant to me. Anyway, one day he turned round in front of my family and made the same old joke he always made about when i was 16 he was gonna run away with me and marry me. I was about 8 years old at that point and fully tired of his behavior, so when he said "isnt that right" looking for me to smile and agree, i deadpan looked him in the face and said "i wont be able to marry you uncle alan, youll be dead by the time im old enough to get married" the room went quiet, my teen brother burst out laughing, and he never joked like that with me again. That is one of my fondest memories of tiny little feminist me being born. I still dont know why this kind of behavior was ever deemed acceptable. We was super regressive on appropriate behavior. I dont understand now im a mother of two daughters myself how this sort of "joking" with kids was ever seen as acceptable. Its gross and ive taught my daughters to speak out loud if anyone ever trys to be inappropriate with them.
I get it. When I was 10 years old, I went thru my grow spurt. I grew breasts and taller and had no idea about none of it. My uncle saw me from across the yard, and while talking to my father he says, dang, who is that hot blonde over there. My dad looks, sees me, and says, that's your 10 year old niece you idiot creep! That should of been the end of it but no. It was not. From then on out it became the new "joke". Every time he saw me ever again after that, he would walk up to me and side hug me while saying oh hey there's my hot niece! Yuck! And then when I became 22, he got really messed up on drugs late one night. And decided to make that "joke" real. He messaged me asking if he paid me 300 dollars, if I would sleep with him. I told him I could not believe he was even asking me that. And NO! And to save the family embarrassment, I told him if he never mentions this again, I would pretend like it never happened and I would tell no one. 3 nights later he messaged me and begged a second time. Offered me more money. Offered me drugs. I said we are family.. you used to change my diapers when I was a baby, what the hell is wrong with you?! He would not stop. So I blocked him. And I told everyone what a creepy bastard he was and what he said to me. Sadly tho, my family is part of the problem. Nothing was done. No one cared. I had to fend for myself. At least I was an adult at this point. But he had been creepy since childhood. His true colors finally showed. I now have 2 children of my own. I tell them they have rights. They don't EVER have to do anything they are uncomfortable with. I don't care who gets angry. My kids come first. I am the person to them, that I wish I had growing up. I will always protect them. And myself. Don't speak to hardly any of my family now. Me and my kids are better off that way. Sorry we had to grow up like that, hope your doing well in recent years ❤🙏 your in my thoughts & prayers
@@odoyalrules757 I'm so sorry you went through that. I don't know why men think it's ok to be creepy lecherous perverts. It's completely disgusting. It knocks me sick to my stomach. I have children of my own also and did exactly the same. I don't allow some family members contact due to the same reasons as you. I moved over 200 miles away. I'm so glad you got away and became such a strong empowered person. I know I don't know you but I am so proud of you. You are amazing. I'm so happy for your children that they have such an amazing mom. I constantly have the autonomy, consent and no means no talks with my kids. My kids are a little older now though but I hope I instilled a sense of confidence in them. I'm happy for us. That we got away and broke the generational trauma for our kids. So many hugs to you.
Uughh so creepy..I'm sorry you went through that. I remember one of my Grandpa's friends always saying, "Oh my goodness, you're so pretty.. you're probably going to be Miss America someday. Mark my words." And I remember being creeped out at 7 years old. Like, old man thank you but please ✋️ stop. It's that unwanted attention..yuck!🤢
I'm almost 70, so I can truly say this was the way lots of adults dealt with kids. I don't know that it was always meant creepy, most of the time it was just how people related to kids. However, there probably was lots of creepy intent, it just blended in with the norm of the time.
30 years old here.. Not starting a war I agree with you completely! It’s just sad that this behaviour was able to be a “get out of jail for free” card for many ill intended people.. “ oh he’s just a little weird” or “they didn’t mean anything by it” I heard that many times and yes, for the most part. Not always though and those people got essentially away with the worst. I still see this behaviour with certain people today and I do have to wonder why.. a child has nothing to offer any adult I know lol they do say the darndest things but that’s where that should have always ended, not with a kiss. 😂😑
@@austin_bradley__my thoughts exactly. the idea of “its just the norm of the time” is such a big issue even til today. allowing creeps to do whatever they want because the rest of society doesnt fight against it. so many people are scarred for life because of this mindset. people are sick and its not okay to just say “its normal everyone is like this!”… its not normal, its gross and frankly evil. id say this generations version of this is like all the p*rn stuff and tv shows and movies normalizing s*xual content and jokes towards children, and of course social media.. idk why i went on that tangent under ur comment but ye lol
Kisses are from Grandma's and Hugs are from Grandpa's for "your" children, nobody else touches them . Anything outside of that would be on the edge today with what we know now. But back then these people were over the top but not unheard of. I knew a couple that were kind of like this. FIRST RED FLAG :They were both Big Church Christians with fake personalities. How do I know that? I was their Sears Service Man so I got to see Real Life from the inside. He was an insurance salesman that always wore a suit, every hair was in perfect place and never any dirt under the fingernails. He projected and image of the nicest most honest man in the world. But they were hiding a secret. Underneath the Christian Clothes were 2 Drinking and Smoking Average Americans. How do I know that? Once again I'm an INSIDER. His wife Pat (the one that always wanted to tell me about Jesus) got on the phone with somebody one day and I got to see another side of Pat I had never seen before. The conversation (from a bible thumping Christian) went something like this : Hey you S.O.B. I'm telling you that if you do it I'll kick your F-----G ass! Made me wonder, what else is going on?
europeans greet with the kiss on each cheek. to this day....yep, it was considered "polite" but also opened the door for creeps to get their "ish" on. i'm in my mid 60s and a lot of my personality (for good and for bad) is shaped by getting male attention LOOOONNNNGGGG before i was mature enough for it. i'm SOOO GRATEFUL for women and kids having more power to set boundaries today
The way Frank makes me want to crawl out of my own skin actually does remind me of several personal experiences that happened in the late 80’s and 90’s
Funny, I don't get that feeling. I just want to know that when he died he was given a flashback of all the creepy things and the possible damage he did.
I vaguely (born 1981) remember my parents being considered too sensitive and sheltering us kids too much, because they objected to the "who's your boyfriend" and "look, they're having a date" talk about elementary school aged children. Yeah, I think it was like that. Oh, and the reason kids were expected to cuddle up with any adult that asked, is because children are cute and kind of like a stuffed animal. They bring joy, and it's rude not to pass the sentient doll around to someone who wants to see it. My little sister had an extremely strong allergic reaction (large welts possibly turning into blisters) to touching perfume, including most laundry detergents. This made it SUPER awkward for my mom when it came time to pass the baby. She had to choose between blistered baby and offending everyone. It shows how taboo it was to "be selfish" with a baby that she brought extra blankets to drape over the person to protect the baby from the person's clothes, instead of just saying "sorry, no". Meanwhile, when my middle child was a toddler, she was pathologically shy for about two years and I didn't let anybody take her. Not because I feared they'd harm her, and not because I felt like she was being reasonable, but just because she didn't want to and I didn't see a reason not to respect her preference. At family gatherings, I'd wear a long skirt, and she'd sit under my chair hiding in the "tent" until she got acclimated to the new environment and ventured out. Probably a reaction against my childhood, but I didn't let anybody touch her unless she wanted them to, even my parents. I just held off the loving arms and kept repeating "she's just taking some time to get used to everything" and chucked my super-extroverted love-bug oldest child at them to distract them. 😂 (And guess what, she's 11 and perfectly polite and pleasant. When she was 3, she suddenly got over her shyness and started chatting with anybody, and hugging relatives with gusto. People thought I was turning her selfish and unfriendly, but she is a lovely, softhearted girl who literally gave her friend the coat off her back because she had two and her (new to Canada) friend kept coming to school in just a sweater.)
I find you often have to fight a whole community, even people close to you, to try to raise your children in a reasonable way that is focused on their health, happiness and welfare ...in so, so, SO many ways. Good for you!
Well done Momma! I love the skirt tent thing! Had my children in the 1980's, and had to face the wrath of MIL because I stood up for my toddler daughter when she told me she didn't like Grandpa pinching her cheek. Though he was gentle, she simply did not like him doing that. Grandpa told her that he did it because he loved her cheeks, and that he was sorry and would not do it again. Grandma demanded that 'Well she just has to get used to people doing things she doesn't like.' Immediately I responded, "oh, you mean like a boyfriend who wants to do things to her she does not want? No. I am not going to teach my daughter that she should allow other people to do things with her body that she doesn't want done. I'm teaching her to stand up for herself and that no one has a right to touch her in ways she is uncomfortable." Along those lines at least. MIL huffed. Literally huffed, lol. I too had to kiss creepy uncles, and when i complained to Mom, she told me I can refuse to do so. My mother always stood up for me, well, in this regard at least. Mom was raised in a non-kissing (especially mouth) family.
I appreciate Jamie putting a funny spin on this, but damn it I got extremely uncomfortable watching that man- I can only imagine what happened when the cameras weren’t rolling
What’s worse is how many creeps still exist like this today, but just got better at hiding it. The problem didn’t go away, that’s for sure. I felt nauseated watching those clips ngl, but it’s better to expose them than to hush it up.
My grandfather would never let other people kiss us or hug us much because he thought we never truly know other people's intentions. My grandfather went through a lot of trauma when he was a child he always did his best to protect us from that.
Bro that's the fastest I ever clicked a notification in a while. It's weird because I do remember accidentally finding a clip from this show when my mom and I were looking up old commercials. The host reminds me of how much Richard Dawson used to be super creepy on EVERY game show (he kissed a 12 year old on the lips on Family Feud and it gave me hives and food poisoning symptoms. It was a different time, indeed😂😂). Except continuing to watch..... Idk bro its feeling a lot like a human auction house and i feel like we should call the cops on their corpses.
They looked older because of the way they did their hair and makeup!! I watched a YT video where they edited out the hair/makeup styles with hair and makeup of today and the difference was WILD
Exactly- I never saw my mum ( born 1930)without a hideous 1940s or early 1950s Perm - the wave shape along the top of her forehead until just before her premature death aged 53 in 1984 when sat in hospital & I didn’t recognise this woman with wild looking shoulder length shaggy blond grey hair & fringe ! She’d been a hair stylist throughout the late 1940s until mid 1950s when that hideous trend was worn by so many girls.
@@GreySinWhiteLie I've never seen anyone with spiked up hair today, that's definitely more old fashioned. Today's "edgy" looks are ombre colored hair with long, soft curls. Even so, that's still not the norm, mainly due to the extensive and costly upkeep required. OP was referring to hair styles that were more mainstream for their era. But maybe those also weren't the norm due to upkeep.
I'm a 70's baby. Old folks were like this a lot in my memory. My aunt's, grandma's, all of them, lots of kissing, telling me how handsome I was, pinching my cheek, etc. My grandpa was the same way. I don't think they were creeps, they just didn't think about it being weird. I think they were innocently naive to the fact there were creeps out there, and some of did the same things.
This looks like the 80's version of UA-cam called "public access" television. Locals could pay the station to broadcast pretty much whatever they wanted. This has to be it.
I'm not sure they even had to pay. If they did, it wasn't much. Cable providers were required by federal mandate to make equipment and studio space available to people who wanted to make their own show.
Yes, it was during the infancy of cable TV and they were bending over backwards to attract viewers. Public Access was one of their big selling ponts - See Local Programming created in your own town! The movie "Wayne's World" is based on this idea.
I was born in `75, and this kind of creepy behavior was prevalent even on mainstream television. Watch some old family feud episodes with Richard Dawson.
I remember watching reruns of Family Feud with Dawson as a host back in the 90s and being disgusted how he was kissing EVERY SINGLE WOMAN on the show! My parents simply replied: it was the 70s, man. That is what people did. But honestly 2023 isnt any better considering all these scandels involving entertainment execs and how they used to businesses to exploit people.
This show was public access.... I dunno if this exists anymore bc of the internet, but public access was a tv station owned by the (city?) that you could do whatever you want on your shows with. So yeah, no it wasn't a tv show in terms of being syndicated or on one of the big three. Which is why they got so many untaleted people. And he got the creepy "can I be your boyfriend" from Ed McMahon on Star Search
THANK U! Yeah, this wasn’t some ‘casting call across the country’ sitch. This was a local (non)talent show!! There were talented ppl back then- they just didn’t get access to fame the way EVERYONE does today (no offense.. YOURE amazing!!)
It honestly just feels like a church must've put up a "be on a talent show" sign on the church's bulletin board and they filmed it in one of the rooms.
Omg..this gave me flashbacks of my pre-teen years in 80s, Damn near every older man was a frank vibe😢.. TY Jamie , love your vids you always make me laugh 🫶🫶
It was lowkey v triggering for me. Like generational trauma triggering. It's amazing anyone made it out of childhood unMole...from those times. I HOPE we're doing better. Bc I know most of my female peers and myself were not so lucky.
I'm an 80s baby and I'm surprised my experience was so different. My parents were extremely wary of strangers and adults and taught us stranger danger. They only asked us to hug our grandparents if we were leaving and we all wanted. They were so wary that an old man who sometimes watched is from his porch screen got enough weird looks by my parents he came over and explained his grandchildren were across country and he just liked watching us because we reminded him of his grandkids. My dad would sometimes talk to him after that and felt him out but even though he thought the guy was ok we never had to go say hi or hug him or anything like that. My dad talked to him that's it. I remember being like 3 and my mom teaching me stranger danger and and made sure we knew to tell her if someone made us uncomfortable. Don't know why everyone else had such a different experience. Makes me feel lucky as hell.
It’s not luck. It’s the way the real world worked. However this UA-camr found a small niche reality and feeds off it. Projection is real though no matter what era she lived through.
That's the key part, STRANGER danger. Don't talk to strange men, but if cousin Harold's long hugs make you feel uncomfortable, stop being rude and hug him anyway. That's way more dangerous because children are FAR more likely to be victimized by an adult they know, like a family member or friend of the parents, than by a stranger.
@@lbjr777don't discount others' experiences just because it didn't happen to You. Do you think these commenters are all making up their stories? I have my own.
I think Frank fancies himself as a Richard Dawson, you know kissing everyone on Family Feud! I'm old enough to remember this type of behavior being not too unusual... 😬 Hilarious! Thanks for the laughs!
Henrietta and Myrna were a mother and daughter from Steinbach, a city in the Canadian province of Manitoba. Their appearance was on a community access television program broadcast from Winnipeg. Late ’80s: At one time, virtually anyone could get their own program started on Winnipeg’s community access channel, which aired on cable channel 13 from 1975 to 1986 and channel 11 from 1986 to 2006. Little did Myrna and Henrietta Neudorf know that their appearance on the channel, singing “Go Tell It On the Mountain” would eventually become a worldwide UA-cam hit.
I discovered the video for Christmas 2022 and had to watch it again this holiday season. It’s becoming a Christmas tradition, lol. Plus the comments on the video are gold!
Born in 1974 i have lost count of the number of times i was asked to kiss uncle so and so and sit on their lap before age 10 when socialising with my parents. My parents thought it was normal. I looked older than age when i was 10 and had older men asking me out for dates in front of my parents, even asking my parents for permission to do so after being told that i was only 10. These experiences definitely made me very cautious throughout my life and even more protective of my children. My parents thought it was innocent and told me to respect my elders and not backchat them. Standing up for yourself and protecting yourself was considered rude and reflected badly on your parents as raising you badly. I was outspoken was reprimanded by these people when i refused to comply. It felt wrong and creepy to me even in those times. Very, very blurred lines of extremes of accepted social norms.
God, I’m sorry. Hearing you’re 10 and then asking your parents if they can take you on a date is another level of disgusting. It’s scary how much people would get away with. I hope you’re doing well now ❤️
My Dad was a creepy Dad that would tell my friends that they had nice boobs. How embarrassing that was and I never had any of them over. Some of my friend’s dads were off as well. The 80’s were great, yet weird.
Born in the early '80s, and every adult male in my family would always ask me, "Did you get prettier last night?" At the time, I would smile, but now I find that creepy. Then there was also the "Is that your boyfriend?" teasing, which I also fucking hated. Adults weren't as big on consent back then--you had to hug and kiss all the adult relatives, even if you barely knew them. I'm the type of person who, to this day, doesn't like being hugged by someone I don't know well enough, and I definitely felt that way back then. I think my generation has done a much better job of teaching kids consent and boundaries than our parents did.
My sister took a class where the teacher made everyone turn to the person next to them and hug them. Then said, "you know how uncomfortable that felt? Well kids feel that too so don't make them hug each other or adults." It was a child development class. Wish the people in your life had taken it but I'm sorry that happened.
Exactly the same here but it made me super uncomfortable when i was a little girl too. Maybe i just felt more uncomfortable with it because I'm autistic. My niece is 7 and my sister and i make sure noone treats her like that.
For a very long time I didn't like hugging people unless they were my bf or mom. Now, I kinda get it. We had to hug everyone when I was a kid even when I didn't want to.
There are a lot of kids in my family and their parents are always telling them to hug everyone when they leave. I don't see many of them very often so they don't really know me. I ALWAYS tell them "You don't have to hug me if you don't want to. It won't hurt my feelings." because I know how much as I, even as an adult, would be forced to hug someone I didn't want to.
SAAAAME here! Born in 1989, but my grandparents were very much like this, or the older adults would say things like "Oh, she's going to get all the boys" when I was like 6 or 7. xD I always found it to be weird, and I didn't participate in the kissing once I turned around 5. As an older kid and a teen, I didn't even like my mom kissing me on the cheek because it reminded me of that, and I'm still not big on hugs from people I don't know.
I have been feeling a bit down these last few days. I’m postpartum so it’s normal to experience this but it still sucks. Thanks Jamie for making me smile and forget how bad I feel for a little over 22 minutes. I love you hun. Your a special soul who brings smiles to many including myself who need it.
There is a real fluctuation in your hormone levels, but breastfeeding helps and going on walks and getting fresh air. Being a mother to small children goes sooo fast-try to enjoy it-babies are the best!
A you bring smiles to others too. This emotional vulnerability and wanting her to know the positive effect she has is wonderful. Thank you for sharing and I hope you get all the love and support you deserve. ❤️
Always love when Jaime graces us with her amazing voice. She could sing the phonebook and it would be an absolute bop. Matter of fact id like to see that as a skit 😂
I was born in '77 and I grew up toward the end of the era of "kiss your {enter male family member title here} or you'll make him feel bad". I had some childhood trauma and luckily I did NOT have many male family members. The family kiss-fest also extended to being a way to be polite to neighbors, parental coworkers and bosses, and even our own friends as a way for our families to embarrass us in the moment. I could just imagine the moms and dads of the poor girls on this "show" telling their kids, "just relax and kiss them," not realizing that it opened the door for us to feel like we HAD to resort to this kind of "politeness" in other areas of our life, too. I couldn't imagine if I had told my kids growing up to kiss their grandpa or he'd feel bad... and I'm SOOO glad things aren't typically this way anymore. This video gave me the shivers. Ick.
Funny and gross, knew a family that would kiss their dad on the lips…well into their 30s and 40s they were hurt and insulted when we made hay of it 🤢 Libs of course
Speaking of how the kiss best extended to neighbors etc My mom had a grown woman friend who used to like to come up to me and squeeze my cheeks to the point where it hurt physically. This was understood as the Italian sign of affection and how dare I have a problem with it basically. I was told to just accept that she loves me and she's just being affectionate.
I hated this, too! This is why we raised the kids in our family to have autonomy. Shake hands if you want to, don't feel pressured to give hugs and kisses to anyone.
There’s definitely a lot to unpack in there… it made me think of the times when my mom wouldn’t allow us to get too close to my grandpa on dad’s side. She said he was a creep, plain and simple. Whether or not he actually was is a mystery for the ages, but she didn’t take chances with her kids.
The show with Henrietta and Myrna was an evangelical spot on Winnipeg’s community access channel. It was probably not a recurring show, but just a church group that got some airtime.
I audibly groaned and gasped and physically cringed so much at Frank's show clips that my poor pets thought I was in genuine distress. 😂 I had to stahp. But this is yet another gem of Jaime's. I also couldn't stop laughing through it. She is funny as hell and so enjoyable to watch.
It’s stuff like this that rockets me out of nostalgia. While there was loads of great stuff about the 80s and 90s there were also creeps that hid in the corners who took advantage. The problem is that it was difficult to discern whether someone was being a creep or just being affectionate. Often times they start out the same. 😭
What's this about Milli Vanilli? I sure hope nothing bad's happened to them in the past few decades! I haven't looked them up since before July 21, 1989 /s
I grew up in the eighties, and believe it or not,this man's behaviour wasn't unsual. It was pretty common for adults to ask you if you had a boyfriend or to ask little boys if they had girlfriends, or for an adult to pretend to be your boyfirend. It's off the charts creepy by today's standards because of our awareness of paedophilia and grooming behavior, and how preditors use accepted forms of interactions to their advantage. But back then this could very well have been innocent because the awareness of such things was almost nil, so this wouldn't have been seen as crossing boundaries by adults. I guaranty though the children felt awkward and icky with that kind of attention even when it was innocent.
I was going to mention the same thing... often had adults tell me I was a "pretty little girl" and comment about my appearance or hair color, etc. I have gray eyes, which was somewhat unusual in my area, and omg the comments about how "all the little boys would just love such unusual eyes!" LOL. Sometimes I felt weirded out, sometimes it was like "eh whatever." I feel like this behavior was more pronounced around things like talent shows, it was almost seen as a way to bolster confidence for kids. The thing that wasn't common in my part of the U.S. was kissing children, but I don't know about New York.
I also grew up in the 80s, and it's not just the kissing, it's everything that went along with it with these two people. The repeated sexualization of these little girls (and boys by his wife) tells me this isn't some innocent thing, these are pedophiles. They may not have acted on it beyond what we saw, but these people clearly have no problem consistently thinking of kids as sex objects. That's miles away from, like, getting pulled in for an awkward kiss by your Great Aunt at Hannukah once a year.
Can I just say the music video at the end was GENUINELY my favorite part??? I know you flash-insert some professional singing into jokes here and there throughout your content, but I’ve never heard an extended cut-and it’s insane how god was giving with both hands. 🙌 ❤️❤️ Everytime you do it, I start googling if it’s too late for me to get voice lessons. Thats how good you are. Contemplating delusions career changes good.
@@skyhunter2816 Because very very few people have memories from before they were 1. I've never met someone who did, and idk if it's even possible for adults to have memories from that early. Although I'm sure there must at least be a few edge cases. But it's still wild for someone to say they don't remember something much that in all likelihood they have zero existing memory of at all. Of course, unless, it was meant as a joke, making that precise point.
One thing that I think "the kids today" really missed out on is being able to sing and dance just for fun without the entire internet watching. In the 80s and early 90s, my friends and I would do puppet shows, plays, "rock concerts," and dances all the time, because we were kids and enjoyed playing. There was no competition for views or likes, no possibility of being an influencer, no one giving us feedback about how to do it better or telling us we sucked. I really think Gens Alpha and (younger) Z need more of this. It's not good to have everything you enjoy being out there online for everyone to see and critique.
I like that you said younger Gen Z, and as a 2009 born. I absolutely agree, but since Gen Alpha is barely old enough to be on online, with most being babies! (and most of them don't even exist yet, the range ain't even finished).
Yes! I was born in ‘65. 3 other of my friends would sing Beatle songs with the music in the background (our version of karaoke) and record it on cassette tapes. We were so excited about it, we’d take it to our music teacher to listen to.
I remember as a child in the 70s brief moments of self-consciousness when I saw my mother had photographed me monkeying with friends, at a party for example where some adult might bring a camera for the group "cheese". But mostly we lived our lives without care of being recorded. The societal assumption was that everything would be discarded and forgotten unless some weirdo made a special effort to preserve it. A testament to that is Frank Masi having absolutely no censor because he couldn't imagine what he says earning 609,116 views in the light of Feb 3rd 2024. He'd assume that after a few years all memory of the show would be verbal anecdotes, hearsay and contradictory.
Girl...what that has nothing to do with the kids of today it has to do with parents just invading their kids privacy....you act like home vids weren't a thing those usually where shown to friends n stuff not just that doing u think people growing up in the 2000s didn't't get embarrassed online or even had stuff from the 80s and 90s being shown online 💀

Do you really think a couple that had a weekly television show for 14 years would be such open and obvious pedophiles? Sure, it seems super creepy now, but I can assure you they were really nice people, very religious, and very popular in their community.
It was normal behavior for the time. The vast majority of people asking for kisses were not molesting children. People today have no ability to figure out the difference between normal people engaging in a cultural custom that makes others uncomfortable and actual child abuse.
In the swamp there is crocodiles, there are also frogs and toads which you can hear croak. Sometimes at night if you listen carefully it sounds like the frogs, toads and crocodiles have a conversation. Many things unseen happen at the so called swamp. On rainy nights it is said that the king and queen of the swamp make an appearance.
The moral: Don't trust anyone hosting auditions and/or performances from their basement. They may seem like a sweet older couple who just want to let you show off your musical, comedic, or dancing abilities, but it's best not to take any chances - televised or not 😳
Oh my God Jaime thank you so much for talking about Stairway to Heaven. It is hands down the gold standard of Public Access variety shows. Trailer park production values, cringe inducing performances and a sketchy host with sleazeball tendencies. I grew up in the 70’s and this gave me painful pangs of nostalgia for good old fashioned tacky mediocrity. So underrated. 💘
You mean... with? Just say with. W - i - t - and it ends with an h. Now that took me 8 seconds to type that studious example out, when it can take you 3 seconds to type a w-i-t-h.
I remember people like this guy when I was a kid, and people acted like they didn’t notice. Or they would say something like “oh he’s just affectionate”. I “knew” even before I knew what those people would probably do if they were left alone too long with someone’s kid. Stay away from uncle frank. Dark chills.🤢
Well that set off some triggers. I remember people like this growing up. The inappropriate and sexualized stuff adults would say when I was very young is appalling. I remember it pissed me off. My rebellious phase as a teenager was mostly about this stuff.
You may have taken it too seriously and let innocuous comments by careless people create complex in your mind. I hope you get better, but a lot of people take things too seriously these days. Sometimes people will form a complex just due to casual jokes that others would never imagine would cause "trauma" because they grew up with real traumas.
@@EddieHenderson92 so asking what a French kiss is at 6 yo and having an adult you trust do it to you isn't real trauma? Okay. Thank you for mansplaining my childhood. That really helps.
I grew up on Staten Island. It’s a small island. In the 70s everyone knew everyone. How did I not hear about this? I never had cable when I lived there.
I've heard it explained that the reason kids back in the day looked so old is because they dressed like the "old" people we're currently around. The style these days that we consider old was worn by the younger generation back in the 80's/90's, thus making kids look more mature than their age. (Another awesome video, Jaime! Frank reminded me of some old men I used to know in church too when I was growing up. I was told it was "normal," but was always creeped out by this behavior.)
Also honestly sometimes kids just look old. I went to school with a girl who got hit hard by the puberty truck, so I remember her looking 20 even though we were all in 5th grade.
I've noticed too that young adults still look like children to me... Am I the only one?? I'm like, how are you 25?? Is it just evolution, is it just our perception? I've thought too much about this 😆
I think that a lot of people who grew up before the 90s (or even during, depending on how old your parents were, like myself to an extent) were kind of conditioned to think that having an adult ask for a kiss (whether a female adult to a male child, or vice versa), tell you how handsome/pretty you were, and talk about boyfriends/girlfriends was just "normal," and a kind of way to flatter and embarrass you at the same time... And while that was mostly seen as harmless in a family setting (in general I mean, because obviously it isn't always, but I digress), it ALWAYS feels weird when a stranger does it. Of course, I remember friends of my parents (that I'd never met) call me a "heartbreaker" or "lady-killer" and all kinds of weird stuff when I was a kid, but it was always laughed off as a joke... and I'm sure I at least kissed cheeks with some of them (which has definitely since been replaced by hugs, if anything at all these days). I think a lot of the time the intention behind it wasn't always malicious, particularly to certain generations (I mean, just look at old episodes of Family Feud or the Match Game from the 70s, where the hosts are creeping on and kissing every single female contestant), no matter how misguided it may be, but "normalizing" that behavior makes it harder for people to recognize the actual predators... Does any of that make sense? Lol
I've been subscribed to you FOR YEARS, basically since the beginning of your channel. That's not a flex, I'm saying that because I always loved when you would sing. You still do sometimes (the Tara Reid video song was great, glad you made it into a short, My Boyfriends Dead). You have such a beautiful voice and I loved your song here. My entire long winded point was I love when you sing. Oh, and whenever your bird is featured lol. Truly though your voice is amazing I especially love your vocal fry it's hard to sound that good with a fry and you just nail the singing every time I really love your voice. I'm talking about it too much now lol love you bye.
@@jaimefrenchofficial You're such a fantastic singer. My favorite vocalist of all time is Celine Dion, so even though I can't sing I judge harshly lol. I'm kidding of course, but seriously there are few voices I really love and I really love yours. I thought you had professional training honestly. If you were born like that, good on you. Absolutely stunning voice. The 'My Boyfriend's Dead' is supposed to be funny but I can't laugh because it's too beautiful. Enough rambling. Beautiful voice.
I couldn't sleep (2am here ahead of Monday morning yikes) and been doom scrolling YT when I saw a notification, thanks for the new video Jaime! Now I won't be sleeping for another 22 mins and 40 secs hehe

This plays like a found footage horror
You could honestly cover this show on your channel and it would fit right in along with your other videos 😂
Yup, because it is.
This is a bizarre request out of left field but you should totally do a character breakdown of the newest version of The Stand..2 days ago I looked to see if you had already done that, saw that you didn't, and thought I should message you with that request..happy coincidence I crossed you here *=)* Cheers
And yes, this feels like a haunted found footage vid from that creepy side of the 80's 😳
I'd totally believe that lady was The Blair Witch. 🤓
I was born in 1972, and this creepy behavior was absolutely acceptable back then. You were always expected, as a child, to kiss anyone your parents were introducing you to, basically any adult who asked. Saying no was not an option, it was considered rude. As a kid I hated it, I am sure we all did. I made a pledge to myself even back then that I would never make my kids kiss anyone, even relatives, unless they wanted to. I don't know why anyone ever thought this was ok, but they did.
I was born in ‘69 and I can attest to this. I cringe when people tell their little kids to kiss and hug me, maybe they don’t want to?
I'm sorry the times were like that. I was born in the late 80's and it was hugs and a kiss on the cheek for me
I was born in 1981 too and yep, at church etc had to let old men shake my hands for way too long and jokingly propose marriage etc and I hated it. It made me so uncomfortable and I'd just stand there trying to disappear so I didn't have to feel that dry, wrinkly hand stroking mine. I have a kid of my own and will never force him to hug or kiss or be touched by ANYONE he doesn't want to. I
He's 3 but I can pick up on his physical cues and can tell when he's uncomfortable and will intervene on his behalf every time.
Yep..i remember being at a funeral home, ( 1972?) my uncle dragging me over to say goodbuy to my nan, (his mother)..i was hysterical, crying and didn't want to see her ( open casket).
Pièce de résistance..he was a priest.
@@005Amergin Oh my goodness!! That sounds so incredibly traumatizing. 😢 I am so sorry you weren’t protected.
As a 1973 baby I can say that yes, your 80's song would have been a hit. If you frosted the tips of your shaggy mullet, feathered your bangs and cemented them with hairspray, move over Cindy Lauper.
1975 baby here, and I totally agree.
That, and the kissing thing was creepy back then too. Normalized more than now, but still creepy nonetheless.
1973 represent! 50th anniversary of so many cool albums and people
1978 baby here! I can confirm the song would have been a hit, and the fashion suggestions would've made her a star! She would've blown Frank away totally. Gave his creeptacular heart an attack🤣🤣
You can really sing girl! If I ever finish my rock opera you are IN..
@@CarpeNutella And “The Exorcist” movie
Goodness gracious. ‘84 baby here. I hated being asked for affection when I was a little girl. I’m so thankful that nobody in my family of grandparents, aunts, or uncles were ever touchy-feely. I’d give my grandpa and uncles a hug because I wanted to, and they’d hug me back. It was never asked of me. And my grandpa would only say things like, “how are you liking school?”, “are you keeping up with your studies?”, “I’m so proud of you”. (He was the best, and I miss him.) But it was strange older men at parties that were weird like this.
selfish... whats so hard about kissing an old lady?
selfishness is being applauded here
@@MicahMicahel What's wrong with forcing a child to do something that makes them supremely uncomfortable, just to satisfy an adult's desire to be kissed by the child?
Wait, no, you've got a point. It absolutely is selfish... of anyone to require that of a child.
@ we have a society that doesnt even understand the word love when kissing old people is considered disgusting.
We've embraced cold heartedness.
we used to have a society that put their wallets in their hackets and left the room... this is vecause there was more love.
we had more love... you can tell people were warmer hearted in the past by reading old novels.
You push anti love and call live selfish...
love GIVES.
Give an old orrson a kiss... stop being selfish.
our nedia maligns the people from the past.
We used to be taught to not only resoect but that love was not an option.
you want to opt out if love... if i point out live gives, you shrunk away to your cold hearted preferences.
@ if it makes you so uncomfortable to be friendly and loving, if its torture to you, you are losing your ability to live or feel kindly to people and this is your cold hearted ideology that you are proud of?
@ Love doesn't look the same for everyone. Your refusal to accept that, and to respect people's bodily autonomy, shows a supreme lack of open-mindedness or empathy.
For instance, I'm autistic. My personal space is incredibly important to me, and it makes me extremely uncomfortable to have people violate that, or to force me to violate it myself. Sometimes it's over-stimulating and overwhelming, and there's nothing I can do to completely change that, because it's a part of how my brain is wired.
How can you call it love to force someone to do something counter to their nature, merely to follow a social convention? Love is about accepting people for who they are, and allowing them to express themselves and their love in a way that feels natural and comfortable for them. It's about not imposing yourself on them, but accommodating them.
Believe it or not, a kiss doesn't equal love. Love is something you feel inside. A person can kiss someone without loving them, and a person can love someone without kissing them. If you think that it's right to force people to follow your customs and your ways of expressing love, without considering that people are different, that's what's truly selfish, and that's not real love.
"We have another attractive young lady here today... she's nine years old-"

The host literally takes " I have children in my basement" to the next level
I used to live in my parents basement 😂
God, this should be the pinned comment.
our current age has been indoctrinated by sexual deviants in school so they see deviant sex everywhere
😄Lol
I’m an 80s baby and this was the norm in my day. A grown man telling me we were going to get married. Men calling me attractive. One man (40s) sang a song to me saying I was the most beautiful girl in the world, while fixing our water heater. I was like 8 years old.
Hate to break it to you, it's just as bad or worse now. The 2000s have been some of the worse decades in the last 124 years. The entire elite and ruling class are now very open about what vulgar, shallow degenerates and pedophiles they are
Similar things happened to me (b. 1980). It was really uncomfortable and I didn't really have words for *why* it was at that age.
Your story reminds me of how the priest of the Catholic church meet were very much involved with and part of again I'm one knee and sing "Laura is the name in the misty light" serenading me as I walked to folk group practice and school. Later on he ended up in huge trouble for molesting little boys. His name was Father John Aurelio and you can look him up online. He actually was famous for having a handicapped thing put into a pool for physically challenged people to be able to swim in the West Seneca pool. He even wrote a children's book believe it or not. He and his best friend were super close friends of my parents and they used to hang out at her house regularly and eat dinner with us.
And those are most likely pedofiles because even as a boy I heard things like this and was sexually molested at 6 years old.
Yuck
In the "preaching", it just feels like he's talking about himself instead of god. They "he has plans for you" out of his mouth sounds like a threat. It gives me goosebumps
This brought back so many flashbacks for me. When I was in elementary school during the 90’s, the school janitor who was also a family friend, about 50 years old, would always call me his girlfriend. Never did anything inappropriate, but he would call me that and it was just more embarrassing because I was already getting bullied, but to be called some middle aged guys’ girlfriend when I was 5-13 years old really didn’t help. He did it around my parents too and they never said anything to him about it. Being a parent now, I can’t imagine just letting some middle aged adult call my children their boyfriend or girlfriend repeatedly for years.
My Dentist did this, called me his little girlfriend and yeah he never did any inappropriate but just, what? At the time I was a little girl and I thought he was handsome so I didn't mind but why was my Mom ok with that? If my kid's dentist said something like that I would switch Dentists
There is a creep in our town, he would call me or my adult daughter up while we were at work and ask what color of underwear the one of us would be wearing, well one evening I just happen to be there when my daughter was working her shift, and he called, I grabbed that phone so fast and literally threatened his life if he were to ever call her and harass her again. He said sorry and that was that.
My parents had a friend close to the same age that would call me his future wife, talked about how he was gonna marry me and build a big house etc. If he called the house and I was the one answering he would start "teasing" me about it.
They didn't have caller ID so we never knew who was calling or I'd have avoided it.
I was very uncomfortable around him because of it, but they thought my reaction was just the funniest thing ever because "he didn't actually mean it".
I brought up later how disturbing and abnormal it was for a man old enough to be my grandfather to even go near that sort of talk and for them to encourage it, but they still think it was harmless banter. 🙄
my 5th grade social studies teacher did this too. i had a huge crush on him so i liked it. i was 10/11 and he was 50 :(
In the 80s a teen boy used to profess his love and propose to my little sister, I think she was 6 and I was 8? I thought it was kind of weird but all of the adults thought it was hilarious because my sister would turn her nose up at him. As an adult I think that was creepy AF.
I'm a man, 41 now. This was acceptable back in the day. Even if it was innocent, it still affected us boys too. I remember as a child I told my mom that her friend, who was older than my mom by 20 years, and that daughter, who would constantly touch me that it was uncomfortable, I didn't like it, and I got hit and told "[name redacted] loves you! That's her way of showing affection and she would give you gifts and if she wants to touch you, you accept it and know it's love!"
There's no thought of ill intent from her daughter. And I will stand by that... but what our parents were teaching us is we were not allowed to have boundaries. That our bodies were not our own. Which is sad because you'd think my mother, who was assaulted in the way you think she was (my dad told me a few months ago), would teach us to respect our bodies. My two sisters' and I. For more than one reason, unfortunately, my two sisters both had addiction issues, one sister is dead, I had to join the army to get away from parents because my mother was so much of a helicopter mom, couldn't stand the fact I wanted to grow up, and learn how to be a man outside of the home.... I mean she tried to enforce a bedtime when I was 21, not even joking... I had to join an organization, sign my life away to get away from it. The irony is my unit was so micromanaging... it was as if I didn't leave home at some points. I've tried to seek therapy but can't talk with the VA because they either only want to talk about my PTSD from deployments, or will hear this sh** and more... and think "OH IT'S NOT THE DEATH AND WAR, IT'S HIS CHILDHOOD... CUT HIS COMPENSATION AND PENSION!!!" I'm 41 years old and there are times I feel as if I am not a true man, grown up.
Sorry for the grammatical mistakes. Tired. Ranting. Too in my head to go back and edit.
grooming. systemic grooming.
I'm so sorry that you went through that and didn't have the autonomy and control of your life that you deserved. That's so frustrating about the VA too. In time, I hope you're able to heal.
I’m so sorry you went through all that and the adults around you weren’t acting like adults. And the VA is so frustrating 😣 I hope you’re surrounded by those who really love and care about you ❤
a boy used to beat me up, my mom would dismiss it as "he just likes you". Unsurprisingly, I ended up in an abusive relationship. You're free now buddy, don't let them live rent free in your head ❤
Thank you all for the kind support. I mean it. Sincerely. And it seems we all need to stick together. We are all going through this. Stay strong. Our strength gets stronger with one another.
The hosts are very creepy and inappropriate but they remind me of a lot of adults in my childhood. I was born in 1981. It made you feel uncomfortable but you just accepted their behaviour because it was the norm. I'm glad times have changed and that my children are taught about consent and raised with bodily autonomy.
I was born in the 80s and grew up in the 90s and I had tons of family members tease me and asking if I had a boyfriend all the time and it was mortifying. Pushing that crap on children is weird
This was literally how several adults treated me and my friends! Ick! It’s almost as if we were being groomed to believe that was normal adult behavior 🤔
Yep totally normal. Creepy. Uncomfortable. But normal. Putting up with it was "respecting your elders".
Can confirm. They were all like this to a degree, so when the real creepers were doing this, it flew under the radar.
Also born in 81. I agree. I can’t believe we thought it was ok.
I was born in 1981. My mom wouldn't put up with that crap. I don't think I had to kiss anyone. In fact, there was no kissing on the mouth either - much to my paternal grandmother's chagrin.
We lived across the street from one old couple, and my mom would never let me out of her sight when we visited if the husband was around. I remember him saying it was ok for me to come with him when my mom called me back as I wandered off. I was usually allowed to wander when visiting the neighbors, mind you.
A few years later, she told me the man was a chomo. He hurt his two daughters and granddaughter. Whole thing was messed up. She hadn't known what he'd done until his granddaughter told, but there were plenty of red flags - like one of his daughters had cut him out of her life, and he wasn't talking nice to me.
Whole thing still chills me, but I'm glad my mom cared about me so much.
Jaime, your performance at the end was unironically fire 🔥. If you ever release it as a standalone song, I will listen to it daily on repeat. 💕
I was expecting her to put an actual clip of one of her childhood videos as the cut in but this song was fantastic
It was absolute perfection! I laughed with occasional snorting mixed in!
Agreed! I've been wanting to do a Stairway musical someday and this song should be in it lol😊
Same tho
Please please please make videos of you doing a bunch of different songs, dances, stand up sets in this setting with all kinds of wild outfits and wigs!!
Born in 58... I HATED having to hug or kiss some relatives or people I didn't even know. I made sure none of my kids ever had to...same with my grandkids. They hug me now because they WANT to, and it's always THEIR choice.
I had social anxiety since i was a kid, and i hated strangers touching me no matter who it was so my parents would intentionally put their hands over my ears in public because at the time loud noises hurt my ears but it was also because it kept grown women from touching my face and trying to kiss my cheeks
When it happened, i would cry and scream i always freaked out cause i didn't know these women grabbing my cheeks or touching my face or back even thou it was innocent
I'm still that way to this day , i just use my headphones to cope with it
You know the saying “wise beyond your years” this is you , many people your age till this day believe otherwise. I am a teacher and had an assistant who is 53 years old , and got fired for being inappropriate with the kids , which in his defense he thought asking children (little girls) for hugs was normal behavior
@@i-love-potato-chips9446 I doubt very much " he thought it was normal".. though I could see him using that as an excuse. I'm glad he got fired.
I’m the same. I hated kissing and hugging relatives. My daughter was never expected to do that.
I’m an 87 baby and I remember men being very uncomfortable with me as a young kid…. Always expecting a kiss, to sit on their knee, making wildly inappropriate and often sexual “jokes”. I don’t think I even realised how common and how grosse these kinds of things were until I was in my teens
I remember people being much more touchy feely as a child in the 80s, but not with sexual undertones. You're describing abuse.
What about "spankings" I had a relative give out birthday spankings. One for each year that continued till I was at least 12.
He wasn't/isn't a creeper to my knowledge but that felt real uncomfortable and my parents just laughed uncomfortably.
-90's baby
Yup was creepy
and i'm just realizing this about my own step dad because it was so normalized....

The host just is such a good example of why you HAVE to be mean sometimes and check people. These kids def didn’t have the power to do that but as parents it’s our job to not let ppl make our kids this uncomfortable. Don’t make your kids give ppl affection because “it’s innocent” this guy didn’t get get checked enough CLEARLY. And his wife just lets him act like that.
People didn't check men like that when this was made.
I was in my teens in the 80s and had SO many creepy things happen to me and friends of mine - pretty exclusively by older men.
It was a different time, nobody told us it was wrong and the adults around us never seemed too concerned about any of it so I think we just assumed this was something we had to put up with and find our own way to deal with it.
Now, I'm not saying any of it is or was ok. Absolutely not, and when I had my own children (all girls) I was very aware of what was going on on their lives and had a husband who was very pro active re their safety.
We always knew where they were and who they were with. We met and vetted any parent of our kids friends - because we both understood how very damaging even one bad experience with a predator would be for them.
Back in the day people just didn't discuss such things and when they did no one seemed to care much or do anything. We, as children, had to watch out for each other - and we learned to do better by our own kids.
If a strange man tried to kiss my kids...😡
Agreed
You dont even have to be mean. You can be calm, clear *and* firm.
@@pearltheboomkin1247 Yep.
I was born in 89, and sadly this was STILL acceptable behavior and very common. I can't remember a single time where I wasn't made uncomfortable around grown men. When I was in 3rd grade my principal was OBSESSED with me. He called me HIS little victorian doll, and he would constantly seek me out. He would come to class and ask for me at random or call me to his office for no reason. It was so creepy. I remember my mom's friends would flirt with me, as young as 4 or 5 years old. My mom's friend started hitting on me at 11 and he would always tell me he would marry me one day etc. Another grown man picked me up and forced a kiss on my lips at 6 years old, my mom and her friends just laughed. I was raised not to question things or stand up for myself, but I'm a mother of two and I refuse to raise my kids that way.
I wish I understood the thought process behind parents that thought grown men kissing little girls are cute and grown women kissing little boys.
@@BeingKyleBusch18nowadays it's the older women being predators. Sometimes it feels like it all a planned social experiment these things increased 10 fold when social media was introduced the dating scene also died right after
Yep, was a teen in the 80's and this happened to both boys and girls. During most of the 70's and 80's I had to hug and kiss my female siblings, aunts, grandmother, and extended family on the lips on a regular basis. My mother thought it was cute when one of my aunts would pull me tight against her and openly grope my butt and say "whooowhoo" out loud...every single time... when she hugged and kissed me for WAY too long. In that particular instance it was not innocent at all, even though it was considered acceptable. Crazy times, man!
oh goodness im so sorry sir, i hope you recover from that. Be blessed in Jesus's name
I’m sorry you went through that. What that aunt did was not ok at all. I Hope you are doing well in life now
Yes, it happened so much! My Mother would randomly pinch my butt and say, "Pinch!" I Hated it and would yell. She thought it was hilarious 😡
What the heck I'm so sorry that happened 😢
Ugh, that brought back a horrible memory from my childhood. My grandmother would always kiss us kids on the LIPS. Her lips felt like wet bread.
Back when my husband and I owned an art gallery an older lady who loved our artwork used to come in a lot. She always tried to make our daughters give her a kiss or hug but they didn’t want to and I didn’t push it. She’d make comments about parents not teaching their kids manners these days and my thought was nah I was forced to kiss or hug loads of adults when I was uncomfortable doing so under the “good manners” umbrella. I’m so glad that ppl speak out against that kind of stuff now and that I stuck to my guns with that because I am prone to jump through hoops in order to not offend others.
An old church lady said something similar to me once about manners (regarding my own kids), I said "it's not good manners to kiss other people's children."
Well said! I think you nailed it on this topic!
When I was 3-4 yo our landlady kissed me and I slapped her. Boy did I catch it from my mom. Sorry mom, I don't let nobody do that without invitation.
@@jwhitman2447child you had sass and sense, two very important S words 😂
ok thanks bye
Im a 33 year old woman now, but growing up even in the 90s this stuff was still going on. When i was 6 years old one of my dads friends was constantly telling me i was a pretty little girl while leering at me, tried kissing me on the lips, overly affectionate, always trying to get me to sit on his knee and pat my bottom, and just generally always asking me if i liked boys yet etc, i was a very quiet and at the time undiagnosed autistic child, so i would squirm or shrink and go mute as his presence was repugnant to me. Anyway, one day he turned round in front of my family and made the same old joke he always made about when i was 16 he was gonna run away with me and marry me. I was about 8 years old at that point and fully tired of his behavior, so when he said "isnt that right" looking for me to smile and agree, i deadpan looked him in the face and said "i wont be able to marry you uncle alan, youll be dead by the time im old enough to get married" the room went quiet, my teen brother burst out laughing, and he never joked like that with me again. That is one of my fondest memories of tiny little feminist me being born. I still dont know why this kind of behavior was ever deemed acceptable. We was super regressive on appropriate behavior. I dont understand now im a mother of two daughters myself how this sort of "joking" with kids was ever seen as acceptable. Its gross and ive taught my daughters to speak out loud if anyone ever trys to be inappropriate with them.
*tries
I get it. When I was 10 years old, I went thru my grow spurt. I grew breasts and taller and had no idea about none of it. My uncle saw me from across the yard, and while talking to my father he says, dang, who is that hot blonde over there. My dad looks, sees me, and says, that's your 10 year old niece you idiot creep! That should of been the end of it but no. It was not. From then on out it became the new "joke". Every time he saw me ever again after that, he would walk up to me and side hug me while saying oh hey there's my hot niece! Yuck! And then when I became 22, he got really messed up on drugs late one night. And decided to make that "joke" real. He messaged me asking if he paid me 300 dollars, if I would sleep with him. I told him I could not believe he was even asking me that. And NO! And to save the family embarrassment, I told him if he never mentions this again, I would pretend like it never happened and I would tell no one. 3 nights later he messaged me and begged a second time. Offered me more money. Offered me drugs. I said we are family.. you used to change my diapers when I was a baby, what the hell is wrong with you?! He would not stop. So I blocked him. And I told everyone what a creepy bastard he was and what he said to me. Sadly tho, my family is part of the problem. Nothing was done. No one cared. I had to fend for myself. At least I was an adult at this point. But he had been creepy since childhood. His true colors finally showed. I now have 2 children of my own. I tell them they have rights. They don't EVER have to do anything they are uncomfortable with. I don't care who gets angry. My kids come first. I am the person to them, that I wish I had growing up. I will always protect them. And myself. Don't speak to hardly any of my family now. Me and my kids are better off that way. Sorry we had to grow up like that, hope your doing well in recent years ❤🙏 your in my thoughts & prayers
Very true, born in 90? Me too..
@@odoyalrules757 I'm so sorry you went through that. I don't know why men think it's ok to be creepy lecherous perverts. It's completely disgusting. It knocks me sick to my stomach. I have children of my own also and did exactly the same. I don't allow some family members contact due to the same reasons as you. I moved over 200 miles away. I'm so glad you got away and became such a strong empowered person. I know I don't know you but I am so proud of you. You are amazing. I'm so happy for your children that they have such an amazing mom. I constantly have the autonomy, consent and no means no talks with my kids. My kids are a little older now though but I hope I instilled a sense of confidence in them. I'm happy for us. That we got away and broke the generational trauma for our kids. So many hugs to you.
Uughh so creepy..I'm sorry you went through that. I remember one of my Grandpa's friends always saying, "Oh my goodness, you're so pretty.. you're probably going to be Miss America someday. Mark my words." And I remember being creeped out at 7 years old. Like, old man thank you but please ✋️ stop. It's that unwanted attention..yuck!🤢
Anyone ever watch that show King of the Hill back in the late 90s early 2000s? 8:54 is giving me major “Manger Babies” energy 😂😂

I laugh out loud because I think It is funny when UA-camrs put the squeaks when people are dancing. 😆
Or the bones cracking 😂
I lose it every time! 😂
I'm almost 70, so I can truly say this was the way lots of adults dealt with kids. I don't know that it was always meant creepy, most of the time it was just how people related to kids. However, there probably was lots of creepy intent, it just blended in with the norm of the time.
30 years old here.. Not starting a war I agree with you completely! It’s just sad that this behaviour was able to be a “get out of jail for free” card for many ill intended people.. “ oh he’s just a little weird” or “they didn’t mean anything by it” I heard that many times and yes, for the most part. Not always though and those people got essentially away with the worst. I still see this behaviour with certain people today and I do have to wonder why.. a child has nothing to offer any adult I know lol they do say the darndest things but that’s where that should have always ended, not with a kiss. 😂😑
@@austin_bradley__my thoughts exactly. the idea of “its just the norm of the time” is such a big issue even til today. allowing creeps to do whatever they want because the rest of society doesnt fight against it. so many people are scarred for life because of this mindset. people are sick and its not okay to just say “its normal everyone is like this!”… its not normal, its gross and frankly evil. id say this generations version of this is like all the p*rn stuff and tv shows and movies normalizing s*xual content and jokes towards children, and of course social media.. idk why i went on that tangent under ur comment but ye lol
Kisses are from Grandma's and Hugs are from Grandpa's for "your" children, nobody else touches them . Anything outside of that would be on the edge today with what we know now. But back then these people were over the top but not unheard of. I knew a couple that were kind of like this. FIRST RED FLAG :They were both Big Church Christians with fake personalities. How do I know that? I was their Sears Service Man so I got to see Real Life from the inside. He was an insurance salesman that always wore a suit, every hair was in perfect place and never any dirt under the fingernails. He projected and image of the nicest most honest man in the world. But they were hiding a secret. Underneath the Christian Clothes were 2 Drinking and Smoking Average Americans. How do I know that? Once again I'm an INSIDER. His wife Pat (the one that always wanted to tell me about Jesus) got on the phone with somebody one day and I got to see another side of Pat I had never seen before. The conversation (from a bible thumping Christian) went something like this : Hey you S.O.B. I'm telling you that if you do it I'll kick your F-----G ass! Made me wonder, what else is going on?
europeans greet with the kiss on each cheek. to this day....yep, it was considered "polite" but also opened the door for creeps to get their "ish" on. i'm in my mid 60s and a lot of my personality (for good and for bad) is shaped by getting male attention LOOOONNNNGGGG before i was mature enough for it. i'm SOOO GRATEFUL for women and kids having more power to set boundaries today
I also had to sit on people’s laps in addition to kissing. 😢 it was weird
The way Frank makes me want to crawl out of my own skin actually does remind me of several personal experiences that happened in the late 80’s and 90’s

@@anna3036 Right!
You had me at the love for grainy VHS, despite the perpetual yuk factor of that show host. Subscribed!!
I vaguely (born 1981) remember my parents being considered too sensitive and sheltering us kids too much, because they objected to the "who's your boyfriend" and "look, they're having a date" talk about elementary school aged children.
Yeah, I think it was like that.
Oh, and the reason kids were expected to cuddle up with any adult that asked, is because children are cute and kind of like a stuffed animal. They bring joy, and it's rude not to pass the sentient doll around to someone who wants to see it.
My little sister had an extremely strong allergic reaction (large welts possibly turning into blisters) to touching perfume, including most laundry detergents. This made it SUPER awkward for my mom when it came time to pass the baby. She had to choose between blistered baby and offending everyone. It shows how taboo it was to "be selfish" with a baby that she brought extra blankets to drape over the person to protect the baby from the person's clothes, instead of just saying "sorry, no".
Meanwhile, when my middle child was a toddler, she was pathologically shy for about two years and I didn't let anybody take her. Not because I feared they'd harm her, and not because I felt like she was being reasonable, but just because she didn't want to and I didn't see a reason not to respect her preference. At family gatherings, I'd wear a long skirt, and she'd sit under my chair hiding in the "tent" until she got acclimated to the new environment and ventured out. Probably a reaction against my childhood, but I didn't let anybody touch her unless she wanted them to, even my parents. I just held off the loving arms and kept repeating "she's just taking some time to get used to everything" and chucked my super-extroverted love-bug oldest child at them to distract them. 😂
(And guess what, she's 11 and perfectly polite and pleasant. When she was 3, she suddenly got over her shyness and started chatting with anybody, and hugging relatives with gusto. People thought I was turning her selfish and unfriendly, but she is a lovely, softhearted girl who literally gave her friend the coat off her back because she had two and her (new to Canada) friend kept coming to school in just a sweater.)
WOW 😧❤️
I find you often have to fight a whole community, even people close to you, to try to raise your children in a reasonable way that is focused on their health, happiness and welfare ...in so, so, SO many ways.
Good for you!
Well done Momma! I love the skirt tent thing!
Had my children in the 1980's, and had to face the wrath of MIL because I stood up for my toddler daughter when she told me she didn't like Grandpa pinching her cheek. Though he was gentle, she simply did not like him doing that.
Grandpa told her that he did it because he loved her cheeks, and that he was sorry and would not do it again.
Grandma demanded that 'Well she just has to get used to people doing things she doesn't like.'
Immediately I responded, "oh, you mean like a boyfriend who wants to do things to her she does not want? No. I am not going to teach my daughter that she should allow other people to do things with her body that she doesn't want done. I'm teaching her to stand up for herself and that no one has a right to touch her in ways she is uncomfortable." Along those lines at least. MIL huffed. Literally huffed, lol.
I too had to kiss creepy uncles, and when i complained to Mom, she told me I can refuse to do so. My mother always stood up for me, well, in this regard at least. Mom was raised in a non-kissing (especially mouth) family.
I was born in '81 too!? In June!!
I absolutely hated it when adults asked me if I had a boyfriend. It felt weird and awkward and creepy because I didn't understand the context at 6
I appreciate Jamie putting a funny spin on this, but damn it I got extremely uncomfortable watching that man- I can only imagine what happened when the cameras weren’t rolling

Goooood point.
What’s worse is how many creeps still exist like this today, but just got better at hiding it. The problem didn’t go away, that’s for sure. I felt nauseated watching those clips ngl, but it’s better to expose them than to hush it up.

@@GreySinWhiteLie I've never seen anyone with spiked up hair today, that's definitely more old fashioned. Today's "edgy" looks are ombre colored hair with long, soft curls. Even so, that's still not the norm, mainly due to the extensive and costly upkeep required. OP was referring to hair styles that were more mainstream for their era. But maybe those also weren't the norm due to upkeep.
I'm a 70's baby. Old folks were like this a lot in my memory.
My aunt's, grandma's, all of them, lots of kissing, telling me how handsome I was, pinching my cheek, etc.
My grandpa was the same way. I don't think they were creeps, they just didn't think about it being weird.
I think they were innocently naive to the fact there were creeps out there, and some of did the same things.
Exactly man, nailed it.
So if some creep starts doing some of the same things you now do without your giving them a second thought... guilt by association?
I think a lot of it of course was harmless… but sadly, the real pedo’s LEARNED what to do to mask their unnatural agenda.
yeah but these guys are clearly creeps
Yea, that generation was like that
This looks like the 80's version of UA-cam called "public access" television. Locals could pay the station to broadcast pretty much whatever they wanted. This has to be it.
I'm not sure they even had to pay. If they did, it wasn't much. Cable providers were required by federal mandate to make equipment and studio space available to people who wanted to make their own show.
Pretty much what this is. My area it was channel 19 on cable
Yes, it was during the infancy of cable TV and they were bending over backwards to attract viewers. Public Access was one of their big selling ponts - See Local Programming created in your own town! The movie "Wayne's World" is based on this idea.
Yep! Came here to say this. Absolutely public access!
Waynes world
This show is priceless! Jaw dropping joy. Thanks for validating my public access tv fascination.
I was born in `75, and this kind of creepy behavior was prevalent even on mainstream television. Watch some old family feud episodes with Richard Dawson.
I thought the same thing when I watched this. He kissed everyone on that show🤢
Yes but those weren't children. There is a huge difference.
@@AmysAttitudeit wasn't as bad for sure, but it was still creepy
Or Ed McMahon on Star Search. He aske baby Brittany Spears for a kiss.
I remember watching reruns of Family Feud with Dawson as a host back in the 90s and being disgusted how he was kissing EVERY SINGLE WOMAN on the show! My parents simply replied: it was the 70s, man. That is what people did.
But honestly 2023 isnt any better considering all these scandels involving entertainment execs and how they used to businesses to exploit people.
The air piano girl, followed by her squeaky shoes dancing, omg comedy gold
To the older community that joined together and discuss their life experiences: thank you for sharing, and I’m so sorry that happened.
It's still very prevalent in churches, but they try to keep it behind closed doors
@@stephenstrait5710 How do you know? You where there!?
@@NDY-c8y Lots of us could tell you about the churches.....
19:45 Ive been watching your videos out of order and immediately recognized this as the "Broken by Carol" wig 😂😂😂
This show was public access.... I dunno if this exists anymore bc of the internet, but public access was a tv station owned by the (city?) that you could do whatever you want on your shows with. So yeah, no it wasn't a tv show in terms of being syndicated or on one of the big three. Which is why they got so many untaleted people. And he got the creepy "can I be your boyfriend" from Ed McMahon on Star Search
Yeah. I immediately got the public access feels from this.
THANK U! Yeah, this wasn’t some ‘casting call across the country’ sitch. This was a local (non)talent show!! There were talented ppl back then- they just didn’t get access to fame the way EVERYONE does today (no offense.. YOURE amazing!!)
It honestly just feels like a church must've put up a "be on a talent show" sign on the church's bulletin board and they filmed it in one of the rooms.
I think I missed out on bad public access television because all of our stations came out of NYC. The bar was much higher.
Stairway to Stardom predated Star Search, and in fact was possibly the inspiration for it.
Omg..this gave me flashbacks of my pre-teen years in 80s, Damn near every older man was a frank vibe😢.. TY Jamie , love your vids you always make me laugh 🫶🫶
It was lowkey v triggering for me. Like generational trauma triggering. It's amazing anyone made it out of childhood unMole...from those times. I HOPE we're doing better. Bc I know most of my female peers and myself were not so lucky.
Yeah, I remember this vibe as a little kid in the 90s with my dads friends.
I agree as a 70/80s young girl. Lots of pervs out there .
I'm an 80s baby and I'm surprised my experience was so different. My parents were extremely wary of strangers and adults and taught us stranger danger. They only asked us to hug our grandparents if we were leaving and we all wanted.
They were so wary that an old man who sometimes watched is from his porch screen got enough weird looks by my parents he came over and explained his grandchildren were across country and he just liked watching us because we reminded him of his grandkids. My dad would sometimes talk to him after that and felt him out but even though he thought the guy was ok we never had to go say hi or hug him or anything like that. My dad talked to him that's it.
I remember being like 3 and my mom teaching me stranger danger and and made sure we knew to tell her if someone made us uncomfortable.
Don't know why everyone else had such a different experience. Makes me feel lucky as hell.
It’s not luck. It’s the way the real world worked. However this UA-camr found a small niche reality and feeds off it. Projection is real though no matter what era she lived through.
What you described is very similar to how I grew up. Being taught of stranger danger and not being lured to go with anyone or get in their car..
That's the key part, STRANGER danger. Don't talk to strange men, but if cousin Harold's long hugs make you feel uncomfortable, stop being rude and hug him anyway.
That's way more dangerous because children are FAR more likely to be victimized by an adult they know, like a family member or friend of the parents, than by a stranger.
@@lbjr777don't discount others' experiences just because it didn't happen to You. Do you think these commenters are all making up their stories? I have my own.
@@lbjr777 I think it's fantastic she finds this so unreal is because we changed the world enough to not normalize it any more.
I think Frank fancies himself as a Richard Dawson, you know kissing everyone on Family Feud! I'm old enough to remember this type of behavior being not too unusual... 😬 Hilarious! Thanks for the laughs!
Henrietta and Myrna were a mother and daughter from Steinbach, a city in the Canadian province of Manitoba. Their appearance was on a community access television program broadcast from Winnipeg. Late ’80s: At one time, virtually anyone could get their own program started on Winnipeg’s community access channel, which aired on cable channel 13 from 1975 to 1986 and channel 11 from 1986 to 2006. Little did Myrna and Henrietta Neudorf know that their appearance on the channel, singing “Go Tell It On the Mountain” would eventually become a worldwide UA-cam hit.
I discovered the video for Christmas 2022 and had to watch it again this holiday season. It’s becoming a Christmas tradition, lol. Plus the comments on the video are gold!
@@wintersprite shit dude this is still going around 18000 years from now?!
@@Ali-bm5dd 😂 Didn’t realize my typo. Also, yes. I am from the future and we hail Henrietta and Myrna.
I didn’t know they were from near me
That sounds so normal for how adults made us shy growing up. Have fun with your dumb shows lol
Not gonna lie the ending performance was pretty (actually) fire, I adore your videos, thanks for being you. 💜
Oh shoot i love seeing people i watch on other videos. Youre phenomenal 💜
Born in 1974 i have lost count of the number of times i was asked to kiss uncle so and so and sit on their lap before age 10 when socialising with my parents. My parents thought it was normal. I looked older than age when i was 10 and had older men asking me out for dates in front of my parents, even asking my parents for permission to do so after being told that i was only 10. These experiences definitely made me very cautious throughout my life and even more protective of my children. My parents thought it was innocent and told me to respect my elders and not backchat them. Standing up for yourself and protecting yourself was considered rude and reflected badly on your parents as raising you badly. I was outspoken was reprimanded by these people when i refused to comply. It felt wrong and creepy to me even in those times. Very, very blurred lines of extremes of accepted social norms.
What did your parents say lol
God, I’m sorry. Hearing you’re 10 and then asking your parents if they can take you on a date is another level of disgusting. It’s scary how much people would get away with. I hope you’re doing well now ❤️
The fights I would have with my dad about respecting my elders!!! So many fights!
You made me laugh out loud with the "Why didn't you ask Wayne for a kiss?" - 15:00
Though you undoubtedly would have climbed that stairway straight to stardom, I'm glad we have you on our phones today.
I was a teenager in the eighties. Everyone was creepy even dads I liked were creepy. I'm so glad things are changing
In the 80's when I was around 9, my friend's dad told me I had nice legs. I felt so uncomfortable. He must have been in his 30s at the time. So gross!
@@Just...Peachyhaha! I bet your legs were ugly
My Dad was a creepy Dad that would tell my friends that they had nice boobs. How embarrassing that was and I never had any of them over. Some of my friend’s dads were off as well. The 80’s were great, yet weird.
@@Gigi_Ann that must have been horrible for you 😬
Yeah, love the 80's, but definitely a lot of sketchy things happened
@@Just...PeachyThat's awful.
Born in the early '80s, and every adult male in my family would always ask me, "Did you get prettier last night?" At the time, I would smile, but now I find that creepy. Then there was also the "Is that your boyfriend?" teasing, which I also fucking hated. Adults weren't as big on consent back then--you had to hug and kiss all the adult relatives, even if you barely knew them. I'm the type of person who, to this day, doesn't like being hugged by someone I don't know well enough, and I definitely felt that way back then. I think my generation has done a much better job of teaching kids consent and boundaries than our parents did.
My sister took a class where the teacher made everyone turn to the person next to them and hug them. Then said, "you know how uncomfortable that felt? Well kids feel that too so don't make them hug each other or adults." It was a child development class. Wish the people in your life had taken it but I'm sorry that happened.
Exactly the same here but it made me super uncomfortable when i was a little girl too. Maybe i just felt more uncomfortable with it because I'm autistic.
My niece is 7 and my sister and i make sure noone treats her like that.
For a very long time I didn't like hugging people unless they were my bf or mom. Now, I kinda get it. We had to hug everyone when I was a kid even when I didn't want to.
There are a lot of kids in my family and their parents are always telling them to hug everyone when they leave. I don't see many of them very often so they don't really know me. I ALWAYS tell them "You don't have to hug me if you don't want to. It won't hurt my feelings." because I know how much as I, even as an adult, would be forced to hug someone I didn't want to.
SAAAAME here! Born in 1989, but my grandparents were very much like this, or the older adults would say things like "Oh, she's going to get all the boys" when I was like 6 or 7. xD I always found it to be weird, and I didn't participate in the kissing once I turned around 5. As an older kid and a teen, I didn't even like my mom kissing me on the cheek because it reminded me of that, and I'm still not big on hugs from people I don't know.
this was so normal when it was originally on... I had thankfully forgotten about it until I saw you bring it back up. Thanks for that lol
I have been feeling a bit down these last few days. I’m postpartum so it’s normal to experience this but it still sucks. Thanks Jamie for making me smile and forget how bad I feel for a little over 22 minutes. I love you hun. Your a special soul who brings smiles to many including myself who need it.
Hope you feel well soon. ❤️❤️ PPD is so much harder than ppl know 😒❤️
I hope the cycle ends very soon for you❤ It is awesome that you make sure to keep positivity in your life (Jaime) while things return to regular.
There is a real fluctuation in your hormone levels, but breastfeeding helps and going on walks and getting fresh air. Being a mother to small children goes sooo fast-try to enjoy it-babies are the best!
Postpartum is so hard. Be easy on yourself and know that you are NOT alone- lots of online support groups too. Sending you love
A you bring smiles to others too. This emotional vulnerability and wanting her to know the positive effect she has is wonderful. Thank you for sharing and I hope you get all the love and support you deserve. ❤️
I honestly think the point of Melissa's performance was her sparkle sleeves... in which case, she SLAYED.
😂😂🤣🥳🥳😜
I love that people recognize how disgusting these incidents were. I endured a childhood of this and ensured my son. Didn’t.
That was perfect at the end when you went on the show. Hahaha!
Always love when Jaime graces us with her amazing voice. She could sing the phonebook and it would be an absolute bop. Matter of fact id like to see that as a skit 😂
Yesssss!!!
17:29 😂 the religious encouragement followed by a casual “do I get a kiss?”
Is just *CRAZZZZZZY* 😂😂😂😂😂
Yeah, it makes you wonder how much of religion was purely for grooming purposes!?!?
I was born in '77 and I grew up toward the end of the era of "kiss your {enter male family member title here} or you'll make him feel bad". I had some childhood trauma and luckily I did NOT have many male family members. The family kiss-fest also extended to being a way to be polite to neighbors, parental coworkers and bosses, and even our own friends as a way for our families to embarrass us in the moment. I could just imagine the moms and dads of the poor girls on this "show" telling their kids, "just relax and kiss them," not realizing that it opened the door for us to feel like we HAD to resort to this kind of "politeness" in other areas of our life, too. I couldn't imagine if I had told my kids growing up to kiss their grandpa or he'd feel bad... and I'm SOOO glad things aren't typically this way anymore. This video gave me the shivers. Ick.
Funny and gross, knew a family that would kiss their dad on the lips…well into their 30s and 40s they were hurt and insulted when we made hay of it 🤢 Libs of course
Speaking of how the kiss best extended to neighbors etc My mom had a grown woman friend who used to like to come up to me and squeeze my cheeks to the point where it hurt physically. This was understood as the Italian sign of affection and how dare I have a problem with it basically. I was told to just accept that she loves me and she's just being affectionate.
I hated this, too! This is why we raised the kids in our family to have autonomy. Shake hands if you want to, don't feel pressured to give hugs and kisses to anyone.
@@SabrinaMeShellI don't even like shaking hands. Why do I have to touch you to greet you?
There’s definitely a lot to unpack in there… it made me think of the times when my mom wouldn’t allow us to get too close to my grandpa on dad’s side. She said he was a creep, plain and simple. Whether or not he actually was is a mystery for the ages, but she didn’t take chances with her kids.
Wow!! I really loved your show at the end of the video!! Perfect!!🤩✨
Is no one going to mention that Jaime just absolutely SLAYED that track she sang ??? Literally would’ve been a 70s-80s icon FOR SURE !! ✨✨
I am screaming 😂😂💅🏽💅🏽✨She did that😂💅🏽✨
The show with Henrietta and Myrna was an evangelical spot on Winnipeg’s community access channel. It was probably not a recurring show, but just a church group that got some airtime.
I audibly groaned and gasped and physically cringed so much at Frank's show clips that my poor pets thought I was in genuine distress. 😂 I had to stahp.
But this is yet another gem of Jaime's. I also couldn't stop laughing through it. She is funny as hell and so enjoyable to watch.
“Even if you ignore the kid kissing” 😂😂😂 I died.
It’s stuff like this that rockets me out of nostalgia. While there was loads of great stuff about the 80s and 90s there were also creeps that hid in the corners who took advantage. The problem is that it was difficult to discern whether someone was being a creep or just being affectionate. Often times they start out the same. 😭
Not only was Bob Johnson lipsyncing, he wasn't even lipsyncing his own recordings. He's the original Milli Vanilli.
What's this about Milli Vanilli? I sure hope nothing bad's happened to them in the past few decades! I haven't looked them up since before July 21, 1989 /s
@@Wendy_O._Koopa 😆
It's always great to be reminded that Jaime is legit a kick-ass vocalist.
Bruh. U killed it at the end. I thought it was a real 80s song I didn’t know until you told Frank not to kiss you 😂 Bravo!!!
I grew up in the eighties, and believe it or not,this man's behaviour wasn't unsual. It was pretty common for adults to ask you if you had a boyfriend or to ask little boys if they had girlfriends, or for an adult to pretend to be your boyfirend. It's off the charts creepy by today's standards because of our awareness of paedophilia and grooming behavior, and how preditors use accepted forms of interactions to their advantage. But back then this could very well have been innocent because the awareness of such things was almost nil, so this wouldn't have been seen as crossing boundaries by adults. I guaranty though the children felt awkward and icky with that kind of attention even when it was innocent.
They almost guaranteed felt icky. I always felt icky when an adult hugged me or those auntie cheek kisses. Hated it then and would hate it now.
Born in ‘72 & grew up dealing w/so much of this grossness. Some was probably innocent, but some was very much *not*.
I was going to mention the same thing... often had adults tell me I was a "pretty little girl" and comment about my appearance or hair color, etc. I have gray eyes, which was somewhat unusual in my area, and omg the comments about how "all the little boys would just love such unusual eyes!" LOL. Sometimes I felt weirded out, sometimes it was like "eh whatever." I feel like this behavior was more pronounced around things like talent shows, it was almost seen as a way to bolster confidence for kids. The thing that wasn't common in my part of the U.S. was kissing children, but I don't know about New York.
I also grew up in the 80s, and it's not just the kissing, it's everything that went along with it with these two people. The repeated sexualization of these little girls (and boys by his wife) tells me this isn't some innocent thing, these are pedophiles. They may not have acted on it beyond what we saw, but these people clearly have no problem consistently thinking of kids as sex objects. That's miles away from, like, getting pulled in for an awkward kiss by your Great Aunt at Hannukah once a year.
Duh it wasn't unusual 😂this comment must be for the new wave of teens
Can I just say the music video at the end was GENUINELY my favorite part??? I know you flash-insert some professional singing into jokes here and there throughout your content, but I’ve never heard an extended cut-and it’s insane how god was giving with both hands. 🙌 ❤️❤️ Everytime you do it, I start googling if it’s too late for me to get voice lessons. Thats how good you are. Contemplating delusions career changes good.
Never too late to train your voice hon! I am 35 now and fully got my voice trained in 2012!
That ending performance had better editing than the show itself and it kinds feels like an actual performance video
Born in 1989, I don't remember the 80's very much is a wild statement.
How is that wild?
@@skyhunter2816 Because very very few people have memories from before they were 1. I've never met someone who did, and idk if it's even possible for adults to have memories from that early. Although I'm sure there must at least be a few edge cases. But it's still wild for someone to say they don't remember something much that in all likelihood they have zero existing memory of at all. Of course, unless, it was meant as a joke, making that precise point.
One thing that I think "the kids today" really missed out on is being able to sing and dance just for fun without the entire internet watching. In the 80s and early 90s, my friends and I would do puppet shows, plays, "rock concerts," and dances all the time, because we were kids and enjoyed playing. There was no competition for views or likes, no possibility of being an influencer, no one giving us feedback about how to do it better or telling us we sucked. I really think Gens Alpha and (younger) Z need more of this. It's not good to have everything you enjoy being out there online for everyone to see and critique.
I like that you said younger Gen Z, and as a 2009 born. I absolutely agree, but since Gen Alpha is barely old enough to be on online, with most being babies! (and most of them don't even exist yet, the range ain't even finished).
Yes! I was born in ‘65. 3 other of my friends would sing Beatle songs with the music in the background (our version of karaoke) and record it on cassette tapes. We were so excited about it, we’d take it to our music teacher to listen to.
I remember as a child in the 70s brief moments of self-consciousness when I saw my mother had photographed me monkeying with friends, at a party for example where some adult might bring a camera for the group "cheese". But mostly we lived our lives without care of being recorded. The societal assumption was that everything would be discarded and forgotten unless some weirdo made a special effort to preserve it. A testament to that is Frank Masi having absolutely no censor because he couldn't imagine what he says earning 609,116 views in the light of Feb 3rd 2024. He'd assume that after a few years all memory of the show would be verbal anecdotes, hearsay and contradictory.
Girl...what that has nothing to do with the kids of today it has to do with parents just invading their kids privacy....you act like home vids weren't a thing those usually where shown to friends n stuff not just that doing u think people growing up in the 2000s didn't't get embarrassed online or even had stuff from the 80s and 90s being shown online 💀

This couple should've been investigated. The things they said and did to children were so creepy and inappropriate. 😬😬
FACTS!!!!
Do you really think a couple that had a weekly television show for 14 years would be such open and obvious pedophiles? Sure, it seems super creepy now, but I can assure you they were really nice people, very religious, and very popular in their community.
I definitely feel like they did more to children behind the scenes 🤮🤢🤢🤮🤢🤮. The things people got away with back then yet these were the "good ol days"
@@TheLovesnowangelthat's why they weren't there good ole days - no consequences or accountability
It was normal behavior for the time. The vast majority of people asking for kisses were not molesting children. People today have no ability to figure out the difference between normal people engaging in a cultural custom that makes others uncomfortable and actual child abuse.
I was born in 74, so I consider myself an 80s kid...I have never cringed so hard while simultaneously repressing childhood memories.
Yes. This unlocked so many things I had forgotten. And omg men ALWAYS commented on my flat chest!
Yes!! 82 here and with at least 3 uncles who made questionable f’n comments.
In the swamp there is crocodiles, there are also frogs and toads which you can hear croak. Sometimes at night if you listen carefully it sounds like the frogs, toads and crocodiles have a conversation. Many things unseen happen at the so called swamp. On rainy nights it is said that the king and queen of the swamp make an appearance.
You, Sir, is a poet!
The moral: Don't trust anyone hosting auditions and/or performances from their basement. They may seem like a sweet older couple who just want to let you show off your musical, comedic, or dancing abilities, but it's best not to take any chances - televised or not 😳
Jaime's performance at the end is very Pat Benatar coded and we are HERE for it! 👏
I honestly thought she was going for an "Invincible" vibe
I think I even saw the drummer crack a smile 🥹 👏
Oh my God Jaime thank you so much for talking about Stairway to Heaven. It is hands down the gold standard of Public Access variety shows. Trailer park production values, cringe inducing performances and a sketchy host with sleazeball tendencies. I grew up in the 70’s and this gave me painful pangs of nostalgia for good old fashioned tacky mediocrity. So underrated. 💘
Omg Jaimeeeeeee you made me laugh so hard especially at the puppet show bit! Crying tears now! BRB! 😂

I remember people like this guy when I was a kid, and people acted like they didn’t notice. Or they would say something like “oh he’s just affectionate”. I “knew” even before I knew what those people would probably do if they were left alone too long with someone’s kid. Stay away from uncle frank. Dark chills.🤢
I love how you had someone playing the drums during your performance!! 🤣🤣🤣
Well that set off some triggers. I remember people like this growing up. The inappropriate and sexualized stuff adults would say when I was very young is appalling. I remember it pissed me off. My rebellious phase as a teenager was mostly about this stuff.

Yes, I'm in my 60s and in my generation we were not to tell adults "no." It was seen as disrespectful. I was surrounded by pedophiles.
You may have taken it too seriously and let innocuous comments by careless people create complex in your mind. I hope you get better, but a lot of people take things too seriously these days. Sometimes people will form a complex just due to casual jokes that others would never imagine would cause "trauma" because they grew up with real traumas.
@@EddieHenderson92 so asking what a French kiss is at 6 yo and having an adult you trust do it to you isn't real trauma? Okay. Thank you for mansplaining my childhood. That really helps.
@@carolinemills7229 Sound like you need to get dusted off by a man, honey.
I grew up on Staten Island. It’s a small island. In the 70s everyone knew everyone. How did I not hear about this? I never had cable when I lived there.
Your in a Basement on TV in a little Bori in NYC 😅😅😅
it was on public access TV
I've heard it explained that the reason kids back in the day looked so old is because they dressed like the "old" people we're currently around. The style these days that we consider old was worn by the younger generation back in the 80's/90's, thus making kids look more mature than their age. (Another awesome video, Jaime! Frank reminded me of some old men I used to know in church too when I was growing up. I was told it was "normal," but was always creeped out by this behavior.)
No, they wore a lot of make up. That's seriously it. Go look up Jon Benet Ramsey with and without makeup.
Yeah I definitely was made to feel like men kissing child me was normal. I just was conditioned to brush it off cause they were just being “kind”
Also honestly sometimes kids just look old. I went to school with a girl who got hit hard by the puberty truck, so I remember her looking 20 even though we were all in 5th grade.
I've noticed too that young adults still look like children to me... Am I the only one?? I'm like, how are you 25?? Is it just evolution, is it just our perception? I've thought too much about this 😆
I think that a lot of people who grew up before the 90s (or even during, depending on how old your parents were, like myself to an extent) were kind of conditioned to think that having an adult ask for a kiss (whether a female adult to a male child, or vice versa), tell you how handsome/pretty you were, and talk about boyfriends/girlfriends was just "normal," and a kind of way to flatter and embarrass you at the same time... And while that was mostly seen as harmless in a family setting (in general I mean, because obviously it isn't always, but I digress), it ALWAYS feels weird when a stranger does it. Of course, I remember friends of my parents (that I'd never met) call me a "heartbreaker" or "lady-killer" and all kinds of weird stuff when I was a kid, but it was always laughed off as a joke... and I'm sure I at least kissed cheeks with some of them (which has definitely since been replaced by hugs, if anything at all these days). I think a lot of the time the intention behind it wasn't always malicious, particularly to certain generations (I mean, just look at old episodes of Family Feud or the Match Game from the 70s, where the hosts are creeping on and kissing every single female contestant), no matter how misguided it may be, but "normalizing" that behavior makes it harder for people to recognize the actual predators... Does any of that make sense? Lol
I've been subscribed to you FOR YEARS, basically since the beginning of your channel. That's not a flex, I'm saying that because I always loved when you would sing. You still do sometimes (the Tara Reid video song was great, glad you made it into a short, My Boyfriends Dead). You have such a beautiful voice and I loved your song here. My entire long winded point was I love when you sing. Oh, and whenever your bird is featured lol.
Truly though your voice is amazing I especially love your vocal fry it's hard to sound that good with a fry and you just nail the singing every time I really love your voice.
I'm talking about it too much now lol love you bye.
Shucks thank you Jenn 🥹 I actually don’t know what vocal fry is but I will still take the compliment. Haha 🤣🥰
@@jaimefrenchofficial You're such a fantastic singer.
My favorite vocalist of all time is Celine Dion, so even though I can't sing I judge harshly lol. I'm kidding of course, but seriously there are few voices I really love and I really love yours.

The 'My Boyfriend's Dead' is supposed to be funny but I can't laugh because it's too beautiful.
Enough rambling. Beautiful voice.
