When I was in high school in the early 2010s I was in band with a couple other openly queer girls. During one competition one of the underclassmen in my section had passed out on the bud ride there and a couple girls but makeup on him as a prank. He didn’t realize it until after our first practice run when all the macho dudes started making fun of him. He very confidently said “oh, that must be why I see better, it’s keeping the sun out of my eyes.” This not only kept the guys from making fun of him but made it become a popular practice for both the boys and girls to wear eye liner during marching season. The teacher initially tried to ban it but caved when so many people claimed it was helping their performance on a year when we were winning a lot of awards… and bc a bunch of the girls stuck up for him saying the boys should have just as much right to wear makeup and jewelry as the girls had. The original guy later confided in me and the other queer girls that he had originally just made something up to keep the guys from making fun of him but had never fessed up bc he decided he liked wearing makeup and this gave him a safe outlet, and a little bc it was funny to see all these super macho dudes wearing and defending wearing eye liner for “tactical reasons”. He was a straight cis guy, he said he just felt more comfortable confiding in us since we were the first people to stick up for him and bc we openly dressed unconventionally for our gender. It’s really nice to think you were an influence to kids learning to be better to each other.
glad your cousin got that easy bake oven! in my own experience as a bi cis woman, I remember during my childhood it was generally more acceptable for girl children to play with toys marketed to boys than it was for boy children to play with toys marketed for girls. definitely a double standard where boys got the short end of the stick though
Probably entrenched in the idea that “girls are weak, and boys are strong” so by association anything that girls like/is marketed towards girls are “unworthy” for a boy. If a girl wants something for boys, that means that she’s strong, and standing up for herself, and has more agency than all those other girls. But if a boy likes a girl toy he’s weak and there’s something wrong with him. Its an insult to both girls and boys, and creates an incredibly unhealthy relationship between kids and their own identities. If a girl wants to feel like shes respected, she has to reject everything pink and feminine to say shes “not like the other girls.” And if a boy wants to continue to fit in, he has to completely reject everything pink and feminine to stay manly.
@@Randomd0g this is so true. It reminds me of how basically every girl i know went through a “i hate pink” phase basically just because it was a girly colour.
I don't agree with the male-oriented branding, but I do appreciate that Dude Wipes is at least helping teach people the broader applications of wet wipes in general. Like I'd only ever heard of them being used for babies, but if you don't own a bidet, it's one of the the best ways to get as clean as possible down there in between showers. Might be TMI, but our weird hangups about discussing hygienic tips and tricks is why people go their lives not realizing they should wash their butts in the shower.
Wet wipes, no matter what brand, are NOT ABLE to be flushed down the toilet. Yet they CONSTANTLY advertise that they can be. This is damaging our plumbing systems every year, causing irreparable damage to our world and nobody does anything about it. This is just a announcement for people who use wipes, DONT FLUSH THEM! It doesn't matter what the package says, toilet paper is the ABSOLUTELY ONLY THING you can send down the pipes. Thank you for your time
Before the popularization of bidet's as a kid I simply did not understand the common method of ass cleaning. I would get bottles of water as a portable bidet or wet the tp before wiping. Glad the world is finally catching up with my classy ass kid self

as a trans person we are always in such a weird spot with masculinity and femininity. as a trans girl if i'm "too masculine" i'm not even trying and if i'm "too feminine" i'm trying too hard. why can't i just be myself what the hell! i grew up watching soccer and for a while the masculine culture surrounding the sport actually convinced me that i had to stop liking it to be seen as a woman by other people. like that's actually batshit insane.
be yourself. As a trans person, people are going find reasons to dislike you regardless of your behavior. World is full of shitty people and they dislike those that are different... Fuck em, be as masculine or feminine as u want
Loved this. And even if it has nothing to do with gender, It's pretty much always more embarrassing to make fun of someone for liking/doing something than it is to actually like or do that thing
Toxic masculinity is a scam robbed me of my entire childhood and teen years. Even to this day, I struggle to show emotion to those closest to me because my dad made sure I grew up as a "real man".
I'm a girl, DON'T PUT MAKEUP TO COVER UP BREAKOUTS, it makes it worse and more long-term. Just take care of your skin, medicine, face mask, spot corrector, etc. Trust, you’ll be self conscious now but beautiful for life💅🏽
I agree that male oriented branding is a bit wierd, but there is a large push, I see online, of shedding the old ways of masculinity. As a guy it kinda sucks because if I do something that makes me feel manly and/or more masculine cause I'm seen as pushing an archaic gendered society when all I want is too feel good about myself. The activities, like chopping firewood or shooting guns (or other make identified hobbies) themselves shouldn't be only for men since it can give everyone a sense of power and satisfaction with themselves, but pursuing a more masculine feeling with a product, like the bar of soap that smells of fire and whiskey, shouldn't be looked down upon as it gives everyone a chance to feel more masculine
I don't think there's anything inherently wrong with wanting to be masculine and there are all sorts of ways to be totally manly/masculine in a non-toxic way. IMO the problem isn't with shooting guns or chopping firewood, it's declaring that all those who don't do those things somehow lack balls, that lacking balls is a bad thing and that men have to be aggressive and hypersexual. From what I've seen, people who engage in things like that while not being toxic assholes are celebrated and considered pretty cool.
TL;DR It's not the manly aesthetic that's a problem (honestly it's kinda neat) it's the hostile and toxic attitude that often accompanies products like these.
love the masculine aesthetic and you should never feel guilty for it. remember even if your social circle of lefty friends are vocal about "toxic masculinity", being masculine as a cis man is still the way for men to be that is praised most by society... the issue with these hypermasculine adverts are that theyre preying on your insecurities and fear of emasculation instead of uplifting you for the wholesome aspects of masculinity. edit; especially when that predatory advertising glorifies the abuse & objectification of women - nothing masculine about that
I take very good care of my hygiene but I hate how men's grooming marketing is basically "IS YOUR DICK SMALL? BUY THIS!" like I get it, STOP REMINDING ME OF MY TINY DACK!

Fantastic work as always. I'm fascinated by the intersection of masculinity and irony/irony poisoning, which has become such a weird tangle in the last decade or so. Also your TrebleCock joke deserves more attention.
Doubt you'll ever see this, but just in case, I wanted to say thank you for making a point to bring up and validate trans and nonbinary identities. It feels like 99% of the time in this kind of discourse, people who aren't actually cisn't themselves just entirely forget that we exist unless we point it out to them, and even then they usually just sort of wave us away as some totally unimportant edge case and immediately forget about us again. It's always just so refreshing and reassuring to see other people, like, recognizing us and actually taking our experiences into account, even (*especially!*) if they can't fully relate to that experience themselves. Also your videos are funny as hell so thank you for that too :p

Amped to see the streak of good work continue and continue to be appreciated. You’ve hit a real sweet spot with the gag to earnestness ratio in this one.
you seem to be missing the point of these advertising campaigns, they take advantage of the tendency for certain men to feel like they have to prove their masculinity at all times, most self hating men like them aren't exactly accepting of trans people, in fact quite the opposite, using overtly sexist and fragile marketing to appeal to trans men doesn't make much sense.
As a trans feminine person, this kind of marketing really is very harmful, it for a while had that lasting effect where it made me almost feel afraid to do anything feminine
I found your channel recently & I immediately subscribed after watching one video. Hearing you say gender is a spectrum & there are multiple ways to be masculine and feminine makes me so happy. Can’t wait to see your channel grow further!

Another stellar video from the King. Growing up, I was blessed with parents that didn't hard enforce gender stereotypes. I played with both dolls and guns until I got older and naturally gravitated toward male targeted toys. I credit my parents with giving me the ability to enjoy games like Animal Crossing as much as games like God of War without feeling any sense of shame or concern over my identity. I wish my father had been able to enjoy the same opportunity growing up, as it was clear he was still struggling with his own identity, even as he passed age 80.
Could you please tag this video as FOR MEN ONLY? I'm currently unsure if I'm even supposed to be watching this potential chick vid.

Also your TrebleCock joke deserves more attention.
Doubt you'll ever see this, but just in case, I wanted to say thank you for making a point to bring up and validate trans and nonbinary identities. It feels like 99% of the time in this kind of discourse, people who aren't actually cisn't themselves just entirely forget that we exist unless we point it out to them, and even then they usually just sort of wave us away as some totally unimportant edge case and immediately forget about us again. It's always just so refreshing and reassuring to see other people, like, recognizing us and actually taking our experiences into account, even (*especially!*) if they can't fully relate to that experience themselves.
Also your videos are funny as hell so thank you for that too :p
Idk man, bronuts sound kinda counterintuitive, I mean who says "I want some bronuts in my mouth, I love the taste of bronuts."
"how's that for toxic masculinity?" textbook, you nailed it buddy thanks
if any men are interested in makeup there are a lot of brands with neutral packaging like the flagship products of nars, elf, makeup forever and maybelline. if you just want something to even out your skintone maybelline instant age rewind is good, has a natural finish and beginner friendly
I got an EZ Bake oven when I was a kid and ate everything the same day. Also, I like this, and I like you.
EZ Bake oven is a serving size one highly sugary snack with a prize inside that is the titular giant oversized lightbulb toaster. There was no other way to consume them.
i feel like my air fryer is just an easy bake, never doesn't feel weird to expect food to come out of it
man you are legit the only youtuber who makes me laugh out loud multiple times in one video (and not just air out of nostril “laughs”)
you've got a real talent my friend. I have watched all the vids repeatedly and they still make me laugh out loud. So excited to watch your career unfold, regardless of where it take you
You're delivery hits in just the right spot of funny that it leaves me wondering if hitting the like button too soon hurts your metrics.
Amped to see the streak of good work continue and continue to be appreciated. You’ve hit a real sweet spot with the gag to earnestness ratio in this one.
I just wanna say, that over the past couple days you've become one of my fav youtubers. Your commentary style is on point. Keep up the good work!
UA-cam algorithm blessed me up with your Now You See Me 2 vid and now I'm on a deep dive. Bravo. Happy to be aboard.
you're good at commentary comedy videos. i hope your channel keeps growing
“Rewrite this part” holy hell this is the only UA-cam channel I have to give myself pause time for laughing. I regularly wheeze during these videos 😂
2:40 not me doing my makeup while watching this video…. LOL
The fact that the GAMER HOTEL labelled the men's bathroom with football represents a fundamental misunderstanding of your target audience.
"the PC... Gaming police." Lmao loved that.
Bro-nut is such a funny example of an overly macho attitude backfiring.
“and you might think i’m being a little condescending too, huh? is that you?” was so good
May I suggest the Bloodshot Dam combat loop for the background music of the next video?
Maybe a few "CORROSION!" Sound bits as well.
What are you doing here
Huh. The lorderbands man in the comments section
What I really think would kickass is if some of these recent "FOR MEN" brands featured trans men in their ads to really say "this is for men, all men"
"...even wo-men" to take the extra piss 😂
well then its also for women isnt it
you seem to be missing the point of these advertising campaigns, they take advantage of the tendency for certain men to feel like they have to prove their masculinity at all times, most self hating men like them aren't exactly accepting of trans people, in fact quite the opposite, using overtly sexist and fragile marketing to appeal to trans men doesn't make much sense.
trans men are women tho
@@friedegg3732 i think the point is that if you market to men you might as well market to all men, including those that aren’t cisgender
Richard Hammond saying he won't eat ice cream shouldn't be taken seriously, he's a comedian.
Not a very good one, as we all know.
As a trans feminine person, this kind of marketing really is very harmful, it for a while had that lasting effect where it made me almost feel afraid to do anything feminine
this reminds me of the old crackle videos so much! sad they’re gone but i’m happy to find you to fill that crackle shaped hole in my heart
I found your channel recently & I immediately subscribed after watching one video. Hearing you say gender is a spectrum & there are multiple ways to be masculine and feminine makes me so happy. Can’t wait to see your channel grow further!
Why is your delivery and writing ALWAYS so fucking fresh?? Killing it Leo
I like bts and everytime I show my mom a video she's like "I don't like that they wear earrings". Mom. You wear earrings. What are you talking about lol
every woman in my family: uses nailpolish
my parents when seeing a man with nailpolish: and I took that personally
i mean, that is the archaic society's gender norms. you shouldn't be suprised.
12:00 think the bigger problem is letting other people's opinions dictate how you live your life
I have a Christmas photo of me at like 4 holding the football and the doll I asked my parents for. They're pretty great
I was gonna buy the camp diaper bag for my friend since he’s a “man’s man” and also doesn’t take care of his kids
jesus christ, good thing i finished my coffee before hearing that "men straight" punchline, i would've spit it out onto my computer
Gillette Charges 50 fucking dollars for a blade refill: 🥱
Gillette makes a stupid commercial: “so you have chosen death”
Man. Idk if you’ve been told this before but your voice is so inviting/warm :-)
Leo, you are one of the best cresators out there. Delivery, script, and skits are all fucking great dude. I just wish you pumped out videos MORE often! Thank you.
this was a great video throughout but that last bit killed me
Been binging your videos and idk man, that like 2 second awkward pause after each joke is so damn funny to me and I don’t know why
"blue man group? redundant!" man i love leo
1:52 huh, so me loving ice cream should've been interpreted as a sign
"hows that for toxic masculinity" yeah i mean pretty good and very accurate. god the people who hear the problems with toxic masculinity and are too scared to actually take a step back and look at themselves to instead revel in said toxicity are so gross and vile. theyre such a massive issue in the world.
Im so glad the youtube recommendations put one of you videos in my feed. I have gone through your whole catalog in a week or two. Thanks for the good content and starting my year off great!
100% here for the Blue Group!
"I don't care for a child, these are grenades!" That's how i've felt about tacticool stuff for a long time lmao. What's the matter, did your 7 days worth of MREs and 2,000 5.56 rounds not fit in your school backpack? Smart to be prepared for the long trek to the political science lecture hall across campus
6:10 Hoooly I've been looking for this ad for like 15 years
Don't you hate it when the PC Gaming Police comes after you?
Met een deligerende naam het categoriseren van een groep mensen die geen standpunten met je delen. Niet alleen om de naam als argument te kunnen gebruiken maar ook om ze zo over één kam te scheren. Strategie van een irrationele schaap.
@@sabadragon698 wie heeft in jouw koffie gepist?
@@thijswouters jij
@@sabadragon698 kinky. Had niet verwacht dat je zo open zou staan voor dat soort dingen. Héél progressief van je.
This is officially THE MOST underrated comedy channel EVER. Subbed and notifs on lol.
Another stellar video from the King. Growing up, I was blessed with parents that didn't hard enforce gender stereotypes. I played with both dolls and guns until I got older and naturally gravitated toward male targeted toys. I credit my parents with giving me the ability to enjoy games like Animal Crossing as much as games like God of War without feeling any sense of shame or concern over my identity. I wish my father had been able to enjoy the same opportunity growing up, as it was clear he was still struggling with his own identity, even as he passed age 80.
Holy heck my guy this channel is so flippin dope. So happy to see where it goes
