In regards to Bunny: As a scientist, I want to remind everyone that measuring animal cognition is very, very difficult. We know that some animal species (elephants, dolphins, octopuses, etc) possess above-average cognitive abilities, but the scale that we use to determine "average" is very temperamental. It's very easy to consider an animal intelligent just because its behavior resembles that of a human while ignoring another whose behavior is alien yet equally intelligent from an outsiders perspective. Personifying an animal's actions is also a huge problem. So, while Bunny and her buttons are very impressive, we have to be careful about looking too deeply into her actions. She has figured out the buttons, yes, and maybe even the relationship between them, but proving that she understands the words in any deeper way would be very challenging.
Thank you for clarifying because it really creeped seeing the dog learn or seem as self aware as it did it was genuinely making me question our understanding of cognition
Theres many different kinds of sciencetists. If you’re mixing chemicals all day, or putting wires in mouse’s brains or something like that, idk if you’ve got any authority on this either buddy. Its easy to claim authority on a subject you have no info on, what are your exact relevant credentials?
As a self aware scientific person and inventor I can scientifically prove that self awareness and existentialism makes a healthy human being of average inteligence become easily deprresed and anxious over time upon layers.
My sister watches a lot of bunny and has buttons for her dog. Bunny is NOT ON ANTIDEPRESSANT BC OF THE BUTTONS she is an anxious dog she's been on them for a while, the real reason is bc her mom takes her brother (the other dog she owns otter) to dog shows and she has really bad separation anxiety. Also I think the case of her being "self aware" is us projecting onto the dog I don't think it's actually that complex or thought. She does think about it but it's not in the same way we do. Also a lot of dogs are on anti anxiety medication specifically poodles and doodles which bunny is bc they tend to be quite anxious (my sisters dog is also a poodle and is very anxious)
ALSO ALSO the buttons are part of a larger experiment you can find a lot of information on it it's not JUST bunny that is a part of this she's just the most popular I've also seen a cat named billi who uses them and once again I live with a dog that uses them
@Good Queen Alysanne Billi's family doesn't suggest she's self-aware or anything, and they have no cuts and show the whole interaction. Billi uses the buttons for normal things that an animal would think about or notice. After a long time with the buttons, Billi has learned to communicate more complex things like where and when, though most of it is about food, toys, and being pet. Her family teaches her to associate actions, objects, people, etc with words, and they're very transparent about the fact that sometimes she doesn't understand, especially when she's learning. The videos are also usually really hard to disprove (one of my favorites was "Noise Ouch" when her mom had the Hamilton soundtrack on in the house) But cats have been thought to start meowing as a way to communicate with humans, and since the buttons, Billi doesn't meow much. An interesting note.
I heard a really compelling theory about the meaning of The Enigma of Amigara Fault. It said that the holes can signify a predetermined place where you belong in society that seems made perfectly for your niche and just for you. And deciding to go forth on that tailormade path that society has made for you even if it warps and destroys you as a person once you get out of it, but you feel compelled to go down that path because, yeah, its perfectly tailored for you and would be easy. Deciding to ignore what society tells you is whats really hard, trying to forge your own path is hard.
Okay the dog “talking” isn’t that abnormal. It’s like training parrots to speak you do positive reinforcement and repetition. As for the fluoxetine it may be taking that for separation anxiety from the owner. It’s not uncommon for dogs to have mental health issues.
I can't help but to find the 'when I die?' video too convenient. There's only a few select buttons compared to the usual many... just seemed really forced.
My dog uses these as well, not to the amount that Bunny has but she has a couple she uses to communicate. I don’t know much about dog medication, but I’m on fluoxetine for anxiety, so I assume Bunny is taking those meds for the same case.
Exactly, and even then, birds and especially parrots have a vastly superior intellect compared to dogs. It’s unfortunate but domestication is often foolishly equated with intelligence, so other species who’ve still got a wild and individualistic temperament are overlooked. I believe it’s just animal trick training, and off screen the owners are using cues to guide the dog. Meaning this dog is just engaged in reward seeking behaviour.
For the dog, it could just be a coincidence that those buttons were pressed. Through a cycle of pressing a button and being congratulated or given attention it could just associate all the buttons with food, water, and love.
For some reason Joey kissing the corpse never really disturbed me. Sure it's hella uncomfortable but I've never reacted as much as other people who see it. On the other hand Agamemnon Counterpart genuinely triggers a primal fear in me so do with that information what you will lmao
Agamemnon Counterpart was and still is absolutely terrifying to me to the deepest level. It just leaves so many questions unanswered, and thus, forces your mind to fill in the blanks. Amazing piece of horror media.
Junji Ito is one of the few horror writers that can properly express the horror that his stories tell. I've been a fan of Junji Ito for a while now, and he is the only writer than has made me feel disturbed.
To be fair, some cultures actually have dead relatives in actual beds and children sleep in the same bed as the corpse. Sometimes theyll put a relative in a chair in the corner of a room or in bed (Im sure theyre embalmed first) So this man who has his grandmothers casket isnt even very shocking. Different cultures handle death in different ways
Yep. Had a Navajo friend who dated a Hopi woman and he attended a funeral on her families side, it's a traditional thing for them to have a last meal with the deceased and he hadn't noticed until he sat down for dinner with them; he had to excuse himself as that is something that is taboo for us Navajos.
The other explanation of the Juni Ito story is depression and suicide. Going in there is often no way out of the abyss of sadness. I see how he frames it with a physical fear inducing sire of a claustrophobic hole, but those of us who struggle with depression can see how this mirrors the mental calling. The dark monster later on is the lingering call of the abyss.
Definitely keep up the skits, that was charming. Ease it on the explanatory narration though, just seeing you walk home, get scared, go get your phone, get scared again in a different way, would have been gold.
I study decomposition and the DJDeafJoey thing had me interested. I looked through the video and came to the conclusions that his grandmother may be mummified. Typically people think of mummies as being wrapped up in bandages with their organs removed but mummification does occur naturally, albeit in very specific conditions. Natural mummification typically occurs in very cold and/or dry environments. These mummies can last for years. In Peru, mummies from years ago are discovered fairly regularly. The cold, dry environment that could mummify a set of remains could easily occur in a climate-controlled room like the funeral home that DJDeafJoey’s grandmother was originally housed in.
I have been working with and training dogs for the past 12 years. I have yet to work with a dog who has that level of complex thought. Pretty wild, but I just have a hard time believing it.
I am praying this dog hasn’t reached the ability to ask why is it alive. And I hope it’s just for tik tok clout. If the dog does have this ability to communicate, she needs to be studied and given lots of love and affection.
as a person struggling with claustraphobia(arachnaphobia, cynophobia and a lot more) plus ocd the enigma of amigara fault from my perspective: literally dead from the first second*
The first story... Its really a case of culture, not actual creepiness. It's scary to Americans and those raised in American culture because we are so far removed from our passed loved ones. Some cultures are VERY close to their dead. Some of them will keep their loved one in their home for a full year and change their clothing every day, offer them food and water, brush their hair etc. Kissing a passed loved one that you haven't met may be weird but what makes you think he never heard stories about her? His parents/aunts/uncles/ cousins could all have stories about his great grandmother. Death isnt scary! It's natural.
Why say Americans? That's a whole lotta lumping into 1 basket, my friend. Many ppl who are American don't feel uncomfortable or odd. Understanding that not everyone is a carbon copy of one another and that we app grieves differently isn't too difficult.
@Joshua’s HAUS I hate to tell you that a properly cared for dead body isnt unsanitary in any way. Unless your passed loved one had some type of contagious disease that caused their death then yes obviously you cant touch or interact with their body. But a properly taken care of body poses no issues. Awful uninformed opinion.
@Joshua’s HAUS The body in this is also so clearly mummified. IDK how that happened naturally in this case, but it does happen. There's this place in Mexico called Guanajuato where several bodies in a graveyard mummified naturally and they are now on display in a museum. They look just like this. And if its mummified then its dry, and as gross as you may find it its not gonna be fully of all the icky germs you'd expect bc its dry. Its not gonna be any dirtier than the dust that naturally accumulates anywhere else in your house. I can bet you anything in your home you touch regularly (like your phone or your towels) is gonna be way dirtier than this body or hell, even than a toilet bowl.
I've heard that they're basically teaching bunny to ask existential things for positive attention and reinforcement , i don't think shes entirely brainless (the one where she tells her owner she had a foxtail in her paw seems genuine to me, i don't think the owners would be THAT cruel/even be able to get it in there) but some of these i think you should take with a grain of salt
the death lullaby was more sad and depressing than disturbing (though it was still disturbing) i watched it from your link. Knowing the backstory definitely makes it more sad
Of all the things I could imagine being on a disturbing media, I NEVER thought I'd see Bunny on here! Her asking 'When no bunny' was very disturbing tho, so I get it lol
Tale Foundry has a FANTASTIC video on the meaning of the Junji Ito story and its symbolism of the world and society forcing people to morph into what it desires of them. It's ingenious.
Personally, I’ve never found Joey’s story creepy. It’s a bit odd, but sometimes things just are. Sometimes, people need to grieve for those relatives they have never met just because they’re so thankful that they managed to give them the life that they currently have.
I believe it was Mythbusters who did a test on what happens when you are burried 6 feet under. The conclusion was that most caskets dont even survive being buried like that most times. so if she was actually burried, the casket would not be that pristine unless he put her in a new one.
Insane to think I've been watching your videos for like 5 years now. The skit was awesome, I love the bite size horror feel. Keep doing what you're doing, bc everything has been great so far :))
Honestly if Joey's story is true, im glad he's happy and he feels what he's doing is best for her. Even if most people find it weird or disturbing, at least he's happy and dealing with his grief in a way that helps him.
The dog one is so cringey to me. That owner is just looking, begging for a narrative. She WANTS that dog to be sentient so bad. Its Tik freakin Tok, we gotta take it with a pound of salt.
yeah it is so fucking staged its ridiculous - i have no doubt it can communicate somewhat, but i doubt it understands all of her answers and i doubt it knows FULLY what it is saying - the ouch paw thing i think she just said it was in its paw but you dont see her getting it.... i dunno its just all a bit absurd. no way it has a large enough consciounce to be self aware and fully sentient. they have emotions and understand theyre part of our packs but no way they sit there and think about existence.
My cat used to be on fluoxetine because of compulsive behavioral issues. It's pretty normal for pets to take these days, although it's not helpful to every animal. She had some bad side effects from it so we took her off it.
for amagura, all i can think of is just going in, like hehe lol it fits, and then just... get back out. or when the guy realizes "wat have i done" i just think "go backwards bro!"
i am so surprised i haven’t seen more people speaking about the death lullaby, i found it a few years ago when researching him and i haven’t forgot this film since
Graveyards and funeral homes don't just dump corpses on family when they don't want them any more. Look how clean her clothes and inside of the coffin is.
something to denote about bunny, she doesnt take medication because of the buttons to my knowledge, a lot of dogs take medication [one of my dogs routinely takes trazadone], shes just an anxious dog
I loved the creepy skit in the beginning. I hope enough other people like it that you can keep doing them. Also, you asked what confuse like, I really like disturbing internet videos or mysteries, unique deaths, lost media and am very fond of icebergs. Pretty much anything that might disturb me as I have seen A LOT of disturbing stuff as a criminology student so I’m pretty hard to gross out or unsettle. ☺️
I foresee a alot of hoax explanation videos in the future involving the talking dog owner. Cause ya know, no. Reminds me of being alone with my pet and being like "I swear I'll tell no one if you speak to me" haha.
That Joey dude posted that first video about his deceased great grandmother in 2008, he says she died in 1945 and that he never met her. Ok, I had to read it again since it went by so fast. His grandmother passed away in 1945 and he was born 8 years later which means he was born in 1953.
I really enjoyed these topics. I think it’s much more interesting for you to find a broad range of disturbing media that you (you specifically) could talk ab with true interest. I had a feeling in the last entry that you didn’t really have fun talking ab the topics bc they were all mainly shock content, which ofc counts as “disturbing” but something ab the topics in this entry easily disturbs me way more than hearing ab something like funkytown for the millionth time. In the end we’re happy as long as you with these videos - a new loyal subscriber
The skit was awesome and goes well with the intro music you already have! I love to binge watch creepy videos, including your Disturbing Media series, so it's a nice, relaxed, goofy tone-breaker to set-up the next video! ^^
I just realized why the kissing grandma's corpse clip always freaks me out especially bad. It's not just that he's smooching a corpse, he also kinda looks a lot like one of my uncles. 💀
Bunny simply cannot have 'an existential crisis' bc dogs doesn't posses that level of self-awareness like humans do. Trying to project human emotions on an animal is extremely harmful
My grandfather was in Pearl Harbor. He was working on one of the first messenger ships the Japanese all flew over for some reason. They came back and worked on search and rescue.
Awesome... I've been waiting for this all week! I can't wait to surprise my friend, who sometimes watches your content, on a livestream during our phone call on Friday on Discord with this. Thanks man!
Corpses do not freak me out. In South Africa we aren't kept away from ya know death. But I would NOT be kissing a corpse. Thats a health hazard. Even with embalming
I find it so funny that Amigara Fault is on here cause it's not even one of the worst of Junji Ito's stories. I've read pretty much all of his published works and Amigara Fault is pretty tame considering the stuff he's made. Uzumaki, Long Dream, Layers of Fear, Greased, Sensors. I could list so many more. To me, Amigara Fault is his beginner story. To ease you into the rest of his work.
The buttons are just like any other motions or actions dogs do. They learn the word 'walk' and to go to the front door. They learn when they want food to go to their bowl. Dogs are supposed to have the average intelligence of a three year old, most of us with dogs have a bunch of things we know what are dogs are trying to say. All they have done here is train the dog to hit the button to make the 'sound' for walk or food etc., rather than to go to their bowl, to go stand by the door, to nose the bag of food they want etc. etc.
I’ve seen the USS West Virginia story talked about several times, probably at least four or five on the on UA-cam alone. But I did like your coverage of it
That manga was so interesting and creepy. I think that was a very unexpected media source that most don't cover for these kinds of topics, but I feel like it was a really fascinating dive, very disturbing in its own way. Also, I loved that intro skit. It was hilarious and relatable, especially the inner dialog.
the next one I have planned is somewhat related to what i am talking about. this one was more of a test to see if people would even enjoy it. thanks for the insight though!
My grandfather passed in 2021. In Brazil bodies can share a single plot. So the cemetery dug up the plot where my grandmother was already buried. The casket was completely empty except for a stuffed animal we buried her with and a few bones. We don't embalm in Brazil I think so her body simply disintegrated over the past decade. I'm not sure how this body is still mostly intact!
As a self aware scientific person and inventor I can scientifically prove that self awareness and existentialism makes a healthy human being of average inteligence become easily deprresed and anxious over time upon layers.
So my grandfather died a couple weeks after I was born. I was named in his honour. I don’t know if I would kiss him on the mouth if they opened his casket, but I can really empathize with having a connection with someone you never knew. Also, I don’t know where he lives, but if the casket was buried in a place with a dry climate, it would def affect decomposition
there’s an interpretation of the junji ito one, it’s a video on youtube but i forgot the title and the creator. it’s really good, i recommend watching it if you want to get deeper into this whole story but it kinda gave me an existential crisis lol basically the story (or at least the interpretation) is about life itself and how everyone just goes into this sort of hole that is made for you. you go to school, then college, then work and then you die without questioning why or if you even want to. it’s kind of telling us to rethink the way we live and instead of crawling into the hole, choose the life we actually want to live. the video explains it much better than i do tho hahahah
I used to follow Bunny the Dawg as well as Billi the Cat. The button system is deceptive! It certainly *appears* like the critters are absolutely sentient. But they are just clever, and that's nothing to sneeze at. My dog would never have even figured out the first button. But I still loved him, of course.
There are many many cultures throughout the world where preserving deceased loved ones and keeping them close, like in a living space or someplace easily accessible, is common and was widely accepted. Ancient humans have been doing what he's doing for a very long time and only recently has it become stigmatized, mainly because of Catholicism and Christianity. Shocker I know. My point is, he has a loved one and he cherishes her. I see no disrespect happening apart from uploading a video of her. That's the only issue I have with it.
To add to the dead body video: The corpse looks very dried out which can suggest it may have been naturally mummified. Under the right conditions (I.e. an environment that is very cold, dry, and/or acidic) a body can be preserved for hundreds of years. While it's very rare for a body to be preserved in the absolute perfect conditions, it's possible and that may be why the corpse is not overly decomposed.
The whole thing regarding the dog is very easy to fake. The dog has been trained to press the buttons and gets rewarded for doing so. So you ask your dog questions all day and post the "responses" that make sense or can be steered into making sense. Like the whole bit about the dog asking when no bunny. This isn't really a sentence or phrase that makes sense until the owner tries to twist it into that. She could have been sitting there for hours trying to get anything out of the dog. We won't know cause we're just seeing the curated videos.
Dude!!!??? You MUST and I mean MUST use the word "Doozie" when that context you used it, because it was perfect for the disclaimer of what was about to be presented 💭and I must say, it was done amazingly, as usual. You're one of my favorite creators and I just difovrtd you at 6am this morn and it's now 10:40am.. Been binge-watching the entire time You really captivate us, and your audience, n you keep us engaged and not get "bored" and go o the next video. I'm sure your analytics will show that your watch time is higher than average} AGAIN, WE WANT MORE "DOOZIES" 🎉😅
i recommend talking about "suur toll" a classic animated youtube video that many people find creepy, i don't really find it creepy; it's more beautiful if anything, but it is considered a classic of the scary youtube videos, so....
I wish I had a dog that could communicate like Bunny It's just really cool that she can do that and it would make knowing what they want so much easier
So for the first story - in Victorian times it wasn’t at all weird to have the literal body in your home. People even took portraits with them and sometimes photographers would paint open eyes on their eyelids to make it look like they were awake. There was a time where what he’s doing wouldn’t have been seen as strange and really - if he loved his grandmother that much who is it hurting so long as he doesn’t abuse the corpse?
Yeah but in those circumstances they still ended up burying the body. Keeping the body in a house was just the way they had funerals. The photograph thing was often to document the existence of people who never had their photo taken in life. The grandma video doesn't really relate to those examples.

Thank you for clarifying because it really creeped seeing the dog learn or seem as self aware as it did it was genuinely making me question our understanding of cognition
I saw a dog use buttons to say “smelly belly noise” after farting. Idk, seems pretty understanding of the words meaning to me.

There's this place in Mexico called Guanajuato where several bodies in a graveyard mummified naturally and they are now on display in a museum. They look just like this. And if its mummified then its dry, and as gross as you may find it its not gonna be fully of all the icky germs you'd expect bc its dry. Its not gonna be any dirtier than the dust that naturally accumulates anywhere else in your house. I can bet you anything in your home you touch regularly (like your phone or your towels) is gonna be way dirtier than this body or hell, even than a toilet bowl.
I've heard that they're basically teaching bunny to ask existential things for positive attention and reinforcement , i don't think shes entirely brainless (the one where she tells her owner she had a foxtail in her paw seems genuine to me, i don't think the owners would be THAT cruel/even be able to get it in there) but some of these i think you should take with a grain of salt
We don't see the bit of wood come out, just the cut to it in her fingers. Could very easily have faked it without hurting the dog.
the death lullaby was more sad and depressing than disturbing (though it was still disturbing) i watched it from your link. Knowing the backstory definitely makes it more sad
Of all the things I could imagine being on a disturbing media, I NEVER thought I'd see Bunny on here!
Her asking 'When no bunny' was very disturbing tho, so I get it lol
Tale Foundry has a FANTASTIC video on the meaning of the Junji Ito story and its symbolism of the world and society forcing people to morph into what it desires of them. It's ingenious.
Personally, I’ve never found Joey’s story creepy. It’s a bit odd, but sometimes things just are. Sometimes, people need to grieve for those relatives they have never met just because they’re so thankful that they managed to give them the life that they currently have.
I believe it was Mythbusters who did a test on what happens when you are burried 6 feet under. The conclusion was that most caskets dont even survive being buried like that most times. so if she was actually burried, the casket would not be that pristine unless he put her in a new one.
Insane to think I've been watching your videos for like 5 years now. The skit was awesome, I love the bite size horror feel. Keep doing what you're doing, bc everything has been great so far :))
Honestly if Joey's story is true, im glad he's happy and he feels what he's doing is best for her. Even if most people find it weird or disturbing, at least he's happy and dealing with his grief in a way that helps him.
The dog one is so cringey to me. That owner is just looking, begging for a narrative. She WANTS that dog to be sentient so bad. Its Tik freakin Tok, we gotta take it with a pound of salt.
yeah it is so fucking staged its ridiculous - i have no doubt it can communicate somewhat, but i doubt it understands all of her answers and i doubt it knows FULLY what it is saying - the ouch paw thing i think she just said it was in its paw but you dont see her getting it.... i dunno its just all a bit absurd. no way it has a large enough consciounce to be self aware and fully sentient. they have emotions and understand theyre part of our packs but no way they sit there and think about existence.
My cat used to be on fluoxetine because of compulsive behavioral issues. It's pretty normal for pets to take these days, although it's not helpful to every animal. She had some bad side effects from it so we took her off it.
8:34 I find myself many a time grieving for dead family members I never met so I naturally took the bodies and caskets home in my backyard
The only logical thing to do 😂
for amagura, all i can think of is just going in, like hehe lol it fits, and then just... get back out. or when the guy realizes "wat have i done" i just think "go backwards bro!"
i am so surprised i haven’t seen more people speaking about the death lullaby, i found it a few years ago when researching him and i haven’t forgot this film since
Graveyards and funeral homes don't just dump corpses on family when they don't want them any more. Look how clean her clothes and inside of the coffin is.
something to denote about bunny, she doesnt take medication because of the buttons to my knowledge, a lot of dogs take medication [one of my dogs routinely takes trazadone], shes just an anxious dog
I LOVED your skit!! And your content! Keep it up man, we appreciate you!
You’re my fav underrated UA-camr , been subscribed for a year now
lol "i dont speak sign language"
yeah ima be honest. thats my bad. the irony
I loved the creepy skit in the beginning. I hope enough other people like it that you can keep doing them. Also, you asked what confuse like, I really like disturbing internet videos or mysteries, unique deaths, lost media and am very fond of icebergs. Pretty much anything that might disturb me as I have seen A LOT of disturbing stuff as a criminology student so I’m pretty hard to gross out or unsettle. ☺️
I foresee a alot of hoax explanation videos in the future involving the talking dog owner. Cause ya know, no. Reminds me of being alone with my pet and being like "I swear I'll tell no one if you speak to me" haha.
I don't have claustrophobia, but I got extremely uncomfortable at the body distortion part
New to the channel
BUT WOW I'M LOVING IT!!!! Brother you just got a new dedicated fan
That Joey dude posted that first video about his deceased great grandmother in 2008, he says she died in 1945 and that he never met her. Ok, I had to read it again since it went by so fast. His grandmother passed away in 1945 and he was born 8 years later which means he was born in 1953.
I really enjoyed these topics. I think it’s much more interesting for you to find a broad range of disturbing media that you (you specifically) could talk ab with true interest. I had a feeling in the last entry that you didn’t really have fun talking ab the topics bc they were all mainly shock content, which ofc counts as “disturbing” but something ab the topics in this entry easily disturbs me way more than hearing ab something like funkytown for the millionth time.
In the end we’re happy as long as you with these videos - a new loyal subscriber
You can have attachments to people you never met. It's a weird human thing. Happens a lot
The skit was awesome and goes well with the intro music you already have! I love to binge watch creepy videos, including your Disturbing Media series, so it's a nice, relaxed, goofy tone-breaker to set-up the next video! ^^
I just realized why the kissing grandma's corpse clip always freaks me out especially bad. It's not just that he's smooching a corpse, he also kinda looks a lot like one of my uncles. 💀
Bunny simply cannot have 'an existential crisis' bc dogs doesn't posses that level of self-awareness like humans do. Trying to project human emotions on an animal is extremely harmful
The poor dog is 110% projection.
Your videos are wonderful! Keep up the good work. Bunny is kind of a stretch lol
Wow! That skit was so cool! The logo intro looked so professional as well. Love the series!❤️
The skit was pretty good Theorist and it definitely gets me ready for the midnight frights volume 2!👍✨️❤️
My grandfather was in Pearl Harbor. He was working on one of the first messenger ships the Japanese all flew over for some reason. They came back and worked on search and rescue.
Awesome... I've been waiting for this all week! I can't wait to surprise my friend, who sometimes watches your content, on a livestream during our phone call on Friday on Discord with this. Thanks man!
19:29 I don't think I'm claustrophobic (at least from thought - irl might be a different story) but that story and imagery was quite a creepy one.
i LOVED the skit! added a little bit of lighthearted spook to a p serious video. keep it up! been lovin' your videos for a while now!
Corpses do not freak me out. In South Africa we aren't kept away from ya know death.
But I would NOT be kissing a corpse. Thats a health hazard. Even with embalming
wow that intro was lit af broooo
Mummies exist for several thousand years without any aid or attention whatsoever
There's a cat named Billi that uses the same method to speak to her butlers. The channel is called BilliSpeaks. 14:54
as a speech-language pathologist, in short, bunny the talking dog would not be able to understand/use language to that extent
I find it so funny that Amigara Fault is on here cause it's not even one of the worst of Junji Ito's stories.
I've read pretty much all of his published works and Amigara Fault is pretty tame considering the stuff he's made.
Uzumaki, Long Dream, Layers of Fear, Greased, Sensors. I could list so many more.
To me, Amigara Fault is his beginner story. To ease you into the rest of his work.
My favourite kind of videos!! Thank you
Glad you like them!
loved the skit in the beginning. would love to see more of them :)
The buttons are just like any other motions or actions dogs do. They learn the word 'walk' and to go to the front door. They learn when they want food to go to their bowl. Dogs are supposed to have the average intelligence of a three year old, most of us with dogs have a bunch of things we know what are dogs are trying to say. All they have done here is train the dog to hit the button to make the 'sound' for walk or food etc., rather than to go to their bowl, to go stand by the door, to nose the bag of food they want etc. etc.
I’ve seen the USS West Virginia story talked about several times, probably at least four or five on the on UA-cam alone. But I did like your coverage of it
I’m scared of Amigara fault because the fact that there wholes that u can’t stop wanting to go in that kill u at the end and can’t escape once u enter
please keep doing the skits, that was amazing!
Skit was fire 🔥 🔥🔥 keep it up
That manga was so interesting and creepy. I think that was a very unexpected media source that most don't cover for these kinds of topics, but I feel like it was a really fascinating dive, very disturbing in its own way. Also, I loved that intro skit. It was hilarious and relatable, especially the inner dialog.
The talking dog tiktoks could very easily be faked. The owner could simply just train the dog to press certain buttons before the tiktok.
If you had skits that somehow related to what you’re gonna talk about at some point they could be pretty funny. There’s potential forsure
the next one I have planned is somewhat related to what i am talking about. this one was more of a test to see if people would even enjoy it. thanks for the insight though!
My grandfather passed in 2021. In Brazil bodies can share a single plot. So the cemetery dug up the plot where my grandmother was already buried. The casket was completely empty except for a stuffed animal we buried her with and a few bones. We don't embalm in Brazil I think so her body simply disintegrated over the past decade. I'm not sure how this body is still mostly intact!
This was a GREAT vided! Happy to support you and it's so
awesome all 6 of us chose the highest tier!
Loved the skit my boy! Great job on the video
yoooooo, my dog
just know this vids gonna be a good one
I hope you enjoy it!
As a self aware scientific person and inventor I can scientifically prove that self awareness and existentialism makes a healthy human being of average inteligence become easily deprresed and anxious over time upon layers.
IVE BEEN WAITING
ENJOY IT! AHHHH
So my grandfather died a couple weeks after I was born. I was named in his honour. I don’t know if I would kiss him on the mouth if they opened his casket, but I can really empathize with having a connection with someone you never knew. Also, I don’t know where he lives, but if the casket was buried in a place with a dry climate, it would def affect decomposition
Let’s all just be careful not to humanize dogs too much. They’re still animals at the end of the day.
I really enjoyed the intro and the video! I’d love to see more in the future
Yessss new video
Yessssss
The skit was awesome bro, you just earned a subscriber and this is the first video of yours I’ve seen
That skit was hard. Yessir more plz
there’s an interpretation of the junji ito one, it’s a video on youtube but i forgot the title and the creator. it’s really good, i recommend watching it if you want to get deeper into this whole story but it kinda gave me an existential crisis lol
basically the story (or at least the interpretation) is about life itself and how everyone just goes into this sort of hole that is made for you. you go to school, then college, then work and then you die without questioning why or if you even want to. it’s kind of telling us to rethink the way we live and instead of crawling into the hole, choose the life we actually want to live.
the video explains it much better than i do tho hahahah
I used to follow Bunny the Dawg as well as Billi the Cat. The button system is deceptive! It certainly *appears* like the critters are absolutely sentient. But they are just clever, and that's nothing to sneeze at. My dog would never have even figured out the first button. But I still loved him, of course.
There are many many cultures throughout the world where preserving deceased loved ones and keeping them close, like in a living space or someplace easily accessible, is common and was widely accepted. Ancient humans have been doing what he's doing for a very long time and only recently has it become stigmatized, mainly because of Catholicism and Christianity. Shocker I know. My point is, he has a loved one and he cherishes her. I see no disrespect happening apart from uploading a video of her. That's the only issue I have with it.
To add to the dead body video:
The corpse looks very dried out which can suggest it may have been naturally mummified. Under the right conditions (I.e. an environment that is very cold, dry, and/or acidic) a body can be preserved for hundreds of years. While it's very rare for a body to be preserved in the absolute perfect conditions, it's possible and that may be why the corpse is not overly decomposed.
The whole thing regarding the dog is very easy to fake. The dog has been trained to press the buttons and gets rewarded for doing so. So you ask your dog questions all day and post the "responses" that make sense or can be steered into making sense. Like the whole bit about the dog asking when no bunny. This isn't really a sentence or phrase that makes sense until the owner tries to twist it into that. She could have been sitting there for hours trying to get anything out of the dog. We won't know cause we're just seeing the curated videos.
I have heard that in some places in Africa, kissing the corpse of a loved one is not uncommon. Could be wrong though
Fantastic intro! Thank you for all that you do!
I saw this lost media videos, great work.
I just feel like animals being smart isn’t abnormal..or disturbing
Dude!!!??? You MUST and I mean MUST use the word "Doozie" when that context you used it, because it was perfect for the disclaimer of what was about to be presented 💭and I must say, it was done amazingly, as usual.
You're one of my favorite creators and I just difovrtd you at 6am this morn and it's now 10:40am.. Been binge-watching the entire time
You really captivate us, and your audience, n you keep us engaged and not get "bored" and go o the next video. I'm sure your analytics will show that your watch time is higher than average}
AGAIN, WE WANT MORE "DOOZIES" 🎉😅
i recommend talking about "suur toll" a classic animated youtube video that many people find creepy, i don't really find it creepy; it's more beautiful if anything, but it is considered a classic of the scary youtube videos, so....
I wish I had a dog that could communicate like Bunny
It's just really cool that she can do that and it would make knowing what they want so much easier
just found your channel, but i'm really enjoying your videos so far. :) i think the skit intros are unique and add creativity to the series!
Usually skip skits but really fw this one
I would be picking up all the valuables the people climbing into their holes leave behind.
Watching at 3pm and the junji one is the one that really gets me.🙂
So for the first story - in Victorian times it wasn’t at all weird to have the literal body in your home. People even took portraits with them and sometimes photographers would paint open eyes on their eyelids to make it look like they were awake. There was a time where what he’s doing wouldn’t have been seen as strange and really - if he loved his grandmother that much who is it hurting so long as he doesn’t abuse the corpse?
Yeah but in those circumstances they still ended up burying the body. Keeping the body in a house was just the way they had funerals. The photograph thing was often to document the existence of people who never had their photo taken in life. The grandma video doesn't really relate to those examples.
The way that dog video just made me go shower my cats with love and attention. That shit is so sad.
So glad this was recommended, I've subscribed!
Also, loved the skit
