The reason it's named with Oedipus is because it's from an old Greek play where Oedipus has sex with his mom (not knowing it was his mom) and when he found out he gouged his eyes out. That's a very very condensed version by the way.
three years late... I have answers... the point of the Oedipus complex isn't that men consciously want to fuck their mums, it's that men are subconsciously driven to fuck their mums. Oedipus unknowingly fucking his mum is the best example of this because without the societal taboo of incest holding his conscious mind back, he openly found his mother - whose scent and voice will have triggered unconscious maternal memories - sexually attractive, and he fucked her the Oedipus complex is bullshit imo but that's the gist of it
The Oedipus complex happens when you are 3-5 years old unless you don't complete that stage in your life and get stuck in that stage. There is also the Electra complex for girls who want to marry their father. It goes both ways haha
There's nothing awkward about that. He has 200,000 subscribers and I have 80,000. I'm very happy with how well the other video we made is doing. It's fucking hilarious.
Oh my god I got so excited when he mentioned the Oedipus complex, and I immediately turned around to my best friend (who was sitting right next to me at the time) and went on a mini-rant about it and bombarded her with information. Here's to being a geek over the strangest things.
Good god, I never noticed how attractive Bertie has gotten. Great video! (Also, Oedipus Complex comes from the mythological character who unknowingly had a child with his mother.)
Been at the ol' alchemical texts again Mr Boom? Wondrous, one elixir of eternal life and a transmutation of spirit to philosopher's gold coming up, Cheers yer star, Brigs :)
every time, I've been hearing it as E-numbers complex (as opposed to Oedipus), and I guess it still makes sense. E-numbers and energy bounces and attention disorders and fucking mothers.
"I've become the sun."
THAT SENTENCE IS V PAINFUL AFTER ROCKS THAT BLEED
dustywhipp5 fuck you. now you've triggered my feels ='(
Maria Cheska I'm sorry, but it had to be remarked upon
so no ones gonna talk about berties jawline in this? okay
Its so sharp the majority died before they could comment it.
bella watson I am. It’s bloody incredible omg I swear that cuts deeper than p!atd at three in the morning
'I've become the sun' and just like that, the concept for a short film they would unknowingly shoot together in two years time was born
😢
Jacks laugh is the best thing.. Ever
I like pyjamas
The more I think on it and see his videos on other people's channels, I really wish Bertie would make his "interview" videos public again.
I can't believe Bertie is only 15 in this...
Omg wow
Really?
+Zia Kálmán obviously not
+Aurora4278 yea he is cause his birthday is may 1st 1997 and this was posted in april of 2013
xxJaZzHAndZxx well fuck, I´m 16 and he looks twice me
doesnt bertie look like daniel radclife in a weird way?
annie ncs FINALLY SOMEONE! ♥
+annie ncs NNNNO WAY.
just think of it! Aliceisnot onfire
he looks like harrys and dracos lovechild tbh
+Sara he played Draco's kid in the epilogue of the final Harry Potter movie!
Well fuck, bertie has grown up
You're right. I look much older. I think it's the amount of facial hair I definitely can grow.
OML I love Bertie's laugh so much, his face, his hair, his voice. He's just perfection.
I miss vloggy funny Bertie
Yeah but his short films are just too brilliant, I can't bring myself to miss his old videos when comparing them to his new ones
+Jocelyn he can do both though
This is my favorite kind of video, just talking, no point to it really xD
Same
Sir Gilbert, your jawline!!!!!!!!!!
Yeah, cheekbones basically...
bertie was 16 when this was filmed?? WE ARE ALL DYING
Drarry love child on fleek
Bertie did play draco's son
i know your probably no gonna see this but this just made me smile during a low point in my life.
He looks like the birthchild of Harry and Draco.
Jack: "That can go in"
*looks down at bertie's arse*

The sun part :D Also, Jack is hilarious when he gets frustrated.
Why is it called an Oedipus complex when Oedipus didn't actually want to sleep with his mum and freaked out when he found out he had by accident?
Excellent question. Add it to the extensive list of 'things in life that do not make sense'.

you should definitely make this a series. idc how redundant you think it will get, this video was too good to be so short.
This is hilarious! You guys work really well together and it's great
Bertie has grown so so much! 😁 He's so cool! And Jack and Bertie's sense of humour are both pretty similar and it makes me really happy.
oh my god I love Bertie Gilbert! He's so sweet
The Oedipus complex, according to Freud, is only when you're about 3-5 so, yeah, y'know... yay knowledge..!
1:09 "It was a normal day like any other... and then I became the sun."
I cried for about 5 minutes at Jack's laugh!

Jack is so quick witted, it's amazing!

Jack's laugh is so adorable.
"I became the sun" haha :D
