I have thought this for years about The Onion. Even for those who speak English as a second language, but another culture, they wouldn’t guess this is American satire. It’s the one thing I am hesitant about with their content.
Exactly. It all looks so professionally done-a non-native speaker would really have to concentrate to pick up the REAL meaning from the subtleties of the spoken word. I had a class of older German students watch this and they had real problems getting the real message conveyed. Don't show the title. This is just BRILLIANT work from Onion.
Nya Swed that is so interesting that you took this as a type of real life experiment with students. The thing with The Onion is that they play it completely straight and the production values and every presentation is high since they mimic what “real news” looks like. This type of content doesn’t help advance others perception of America or its people. I mean it’s funny when you get that everything there is satire, but I hate to think there are people being actually duped by it.
As a non-native speaker (I am Austrian), you underestimate how much we understand severely. Somebody who just starts learning English will of course be confused (But he would be confused no matter what). But a considerable percentage of Europe (Non-UK) is well versed in English and will understand political debates in the US senate as well as the Onion. It has more to do with general intelligence and humour, I am sure there are plenty natives who don't understand the Onion because they lack one or both. Also: American humour is "in your face" compared to the rest of the world. Humour in Europe is subtle anyway, so The Onion is not hard to understand.

@@improbabbel8362 every child is different, and sometimes talking in general when it comes to raising kids is not the best thing Altought this a common error beetwen experts and parents
@@improbabbel8362 I'm late, but the other side is how irrationally angry the hosts (Who act as the "Angry parent" side) were at even the notion of someone suggesting that their parenting could be improved, also shown by the fact that they talk over her and refuse to listen at all ("Just keep playing the questions, dont let her answer" because they dont want to five her a platform at all.
i’m working in a child psychology research lab right now and let me tell you, presenting research on healthy parenting feels very strange when you’re a childless 20-year-old. i get it, rebecca.
The extra layer of satire is, the hosts are acting like children who can’t listen to suggestion and the guest is still smiley and talking to them like theyre children with a cheery tone of voice. Quite hilarious
Moist nugget There's a big difference between not liking something because actual reasons and not liking something because you're confronted with truth. And it's not just for advices, but for stuff like blame/guilt too. That's the point sometimes: you not liking it it's exactly what should trigger the change and instead people hide like always
As a father of four kids, I have been on both sides of this argument. This level of satire is thick like molasses, it’s great. “Every chore they finish, add 10 more minutes of tv time, they go crazy on that deal.” “Yeah you don’t know my kids.”
I’m glad you asked! TV has turned out to be like a drug, my kids are so addicted to screens that it impairs their abilities to do anything else. The metaphor is this: I’ll give you a dose of heroin whenever you clean your room. The addict was so excited they stole the house for heroin as no house is a clean house.
@@wallamazoo01yeah if possible the idea should be to create a mentality to do chores, why do we do them and why is it needed. Using tv or any other thing.. I am not sure what mentality that creates. That being said, a parent should listen to themselves first and then someone else. They do know their kids better than anyone else. General guidance and advice shouldn't be given as judgements.
Honestly frame it as an exchange of goods but not a right to live. Dont say you live in the house I pay for so you have to do the chores because thats your job to provide no matter what. But if they want xbox or to use the car or their phone plan to not be canceled then they have to do the chores. They do chores in exchange for extra but not for basic rights like food, housing, and good clothes
What is that gesture even supposed to mean in this context? Like, I get what it means, but it seems as out of place as, say, suddenly waving "hello" in the middle of a conversation.
“Let’s just jump right in and get this over with.“ “Just by looking at your smug face I can tell you have more to say.” “Since we won’t be talked down to for another minute...” Just gold.
Parenting expert: Gets a PH.D in developmental psychology. Insecure parents: “this means nothing” Btw, this isn’t to say that experience isn’t valuable or that people can do a fantastically decent job at raising kids without knowledge of development psychology, consider any significant figure chances are their parents didn’t have any knowledge of development psychology, HOWEVER development psychology is a valid study and it is one that solely focuses on the psychological development of humans, it is a methodical and analytical study of how humans development and what helps them develop well, just because you can do an amazing job raising children without use of that source of knowledge doesn’t mean that knowledge of developmental psychology shared by someone who spent years studying it is unlikely to help or be beneficial.
Psychology is a touchy subject because everybody has _some_ knowledge on it but most people simultaneously overestimate their knowledge as well. That's why psychologists nowadays don't directly people what to do but instead steer them towards the answer to make them _believe_ they have come up with it by themselves and respect it. The only side effect is that people think they're smart and the psychologist didn't do anything
the ironic thing is that its the learned helplessness of "it would never work on my kids" and the aversion to recieving any advice that causes the advice to consistently fail creating a feedback loop.
Did your kids just smear a full can of Nutella on your original Persian carpet and then stuck that carpet on your Van Gogh original with the nutella side towards the invaluable painting? Wait, James, what did you say, not nutella? Are you telling me that the painting is smeared with, umh, feces? Oh god. Sorry for that, I've gotta go hang myself. Before you leave, pretty please, keep your advice to yourself.
These actors are fucking brilliant, how can they do this passive-agressive but extremely agressive and smile like everything is ok, it's just mind-blowing how good they are
@@adgato75 Yeah, learning to be stealthy and not to rely on authority figures for anything are some of the most valuable lessons you can teach a child.
Once at church we sat behind a family with the same number of kids as our family (7) and my dad made a comment to them about how well behaved their young boys were, and the mom gave him a 5 minute lecture about discipline and running a tight ship......
*So, when exactly does a parent know enough so as not to have to listen to anyone else's advice? At conception or birth of their child? Because many sure act like they know it all.*
A complicated question for sure. When does knowledge come into being during the developmental stages of a human being? A functioning brain is a prerequisite I suppose, but how do you pinpoint when the first bit of knowledge forms inside of there? Perhaps one shouldn't see it as a cutoff point between no knowledge and some knowledge, but sort of a gradual transition area? Does information inscribed into the genetic material after the egg and sperm meet count as knowledge? Ah, who am I kidding, who wants to think about this stuff under an onion video.
@Christian Prepper: Re your "So, when exactly does a parent know enough so as not to have to listen to anyone else's advice? At conception or at birth of their child?" Good question. If you think about it, good parenting is a gift of education.... the education you harvested as a gift from your own parents. Main thing is - concept of family. This hookup - breakup culture will never provide good parenting, hence no education, hence no idea of how to parent your child. The laissez-faire that you see in today's childrearing context is only due to ignorance on the part of the child rearer. Knowing nothing, he/she errs on the side of laxity. Doesn't work out well.

i feel like this sort of content is great for language learning. You can't read any of the body language or facial expressions for context to verify if your translation is correct.
This is actually genius
Language acquisition is heavily contextual so, if anything, it's really bad
@@davidschwimmer7940 I feel like you deliberately missed the point where I said "can't read context to verify". You saying blind people aren't capable of communication?
@@KelticStingray No I'm saying that for people who can see, learning a language is highly dependent on exposure and context based clues. A video where the words and visual context clues are inconsistent would be bad for learning English.
@@davidschwimmer7940 well I guess I fundamentally disagree

@@improbabbel8362 every child is different, and sometimes talking in general when it comes to raising kids is not the best thing
Altought this a common error beetwen experts and parents
@@improbabbel8362 I'm late, but the other side is how irrationally angry the hosts (Who act as the "Angry parent" side) were at even the notion of someone suggesting that their parenting could be improved, also shown by the fact that they talk over her and refuse to listen at all ("Just keep playing the questions, dont let her answer" because they dont want to five her a platform at all.
Does anyone test the volume levels before uploading the video? I had to nearly turn my volume all the way up to hear this video.
You guys have some shitty speakers
midivilplanet
That depends on the volume of the video itself. Other times they are really good speakers depending on which video I'm watching.
I had no problem with the audio in this video.
Yes, the audio is a bit low.
Yeah pretty low but still pretty funny.
i’m working in a child psychology research lab right now and let me tell you, presenting research on healthy parenting feels very strange when you’re a childless 20-year-old. i get it, rebecca.

@@BusyAngel9999 yea I got that, Rose
Moist nugget There's a big difference between not liking something because actual reasons and not liking something because you're confronted with truth. And it's not just for advices, but for stuff like blame/guilt too. That's the point sometimes: you not liking it it's exactly what should trigger the change and instead people hide like always

As a father of four kids, I have been on both sides of this argument. This level of satire is thick like molasses, it’s great.
“Every chore they finish, add 10 more minutes of tv time, they go crazy on that deal.”
“Yeah you don’t know my kids.”
Have you ever tried that on your kids or have you just decided that it won’t work?
I’m glad you asked!
TV has turned out to be like a drug, my kids are so addicted to screens that it impairs their abilities to do anything else.
The metaphor is this:
I’ll give you a dose of heroin whenever you clean your room. The addict was so excited they stole the house for heroin as no house is a clean house.
@@wallamazoo01yeah if possible the idea should be to create a mentality to do chores, why do we do them and why is it needed. Using tv or any other thing.. I am not sure what mentality that creates.
That being said, a parent should listen to themselves first and then someone else. They do know their kids better than anyone else. General guidance and advice shouldn't be given as judgements.
Honestly frame it as an exchange of goods but not a right to live. Dont say you live in the house I pay for so you have to do the chores because thats your job to provide no matter what. But if they want xbox or to use the car or their phone plan to not be canceled then they have to do the chores. They do chores in exchange for extra but not for basic rights like food, housing, and good clothes
children should watch 0 tv at all
This is legit the only News Station that isn’t fake

Lmao how did I miss that?
@@MrUmakemelaff *O O F*
What is that gesture even supposed to mean in this context?
Like, I get what it means, but it seems as out of place as, say, suddenly waving "hello" in the middle of a conversation.
Rebecca's "book" includes an entire chapter on wearing pants with a lot of pockets. 🤣
That's about the point the real parents go, yeah- the know it all, knows what she's talking about.
That’s actually good advice tho you can never have too many pockets
"Book" 😂😂😂😂😂

Parenting expert: Gets a PH.D in developmental psychology.
Insecure parents: “this means nothing”
Btw, this isn’t to say that experience isn’t valuable or that people can do a fantastically decent job at raising kids without knowledge of development psychology, consider any significant figure chances are their parents didn’t have any knowledge of development psychology, HOWEVER development psychology is a valid study and it is one that solely focuses on the psychological development of humans, it is a methodical and analytical study of how humans development and what helps them develop well, just because you can do an amazing job raising children without use of that source of knowledge doesn’t mean that knowledge of developmental psychology shared by someone who spent years studying it is unlikely to help or be beneficial.
Same for being a licensed dietitian.

Yeah, unfortunately it’s the same for quite a few fields of expertise
Don't know about developmental psychology but developmental pediatricians are worth their weight in gold.
Insecure parents: I don't need parenting advice from anyone because I raised two kids myself
Kids: One pregnant at 16 and the other in juvie
Psychology is a touchy subject because everybody has _some_ knowledge on it but most people simultaneously overestimate their knowledge as well.
That's why psychologists nowadays don't directly people what to do but instead steer them towards the answer to make them _believe_ they have come up with it by themselves and respect it. The only side effect is that people think they're smart and the psychologist didn't do anything
"Stay tuned! Rebecca will be gone soon! " 2:42 looooool😂😂😂😂😂😂

Love the way the guy at 2:21 smiles at the end of the question.
I really lost it when she said “fuck you”
the ironic thing is that its the learned helplessness of "it would never work on my kids" and the aversion to recieving any advice that causes the advice to consistently fail creating a feedback loop.
Did your kids just smear a full can of Nutella on your original Persian carpet and then stuck that carpet on your Van Gogh original with the nutella side towards the invaluable painting? Wait, James, what did you say, not nutella? Are you telling me that the painting is smeared with, umh, feces? Oh god. Sorry for that, I've gotta go hang myself. Before you leave, pretty please, keep your advice to yourself.
“Oh god, she actually answered it” 😂

*So, when exactly does a parent know enough so as not to have to listen to anyone else's advice? At conception or birth of their child? Because many sure act like they know it all.*
Because the shit she was spewing only works if the child has a very specific personality.
A complicated question for sure. When does knowledge come into being during the developmental stages of a human being? A functioning brain is a prerequisite I suppose, but how do you pinpoint when the first bit of knowledge forms inside of there? Perhaps one shouldn't see it as a cutoff point between no knowledge and some knowledge, but sort of a gradual transition area? Does information inscribed into the genetic material after the egg and sperm meet count as knowledge? Ah, who am I kidding, who wants to think about this stuff under an onion video.
Never.
@Christian Prepper: Re your "So, when exactly does a parent know enough so as not to have to listen to anyone else's advice? At conception or at birth of their child?"
Good question.
If you think about it, good parenting is a gift of education.... the education you harvested as a gift from your own parents.
Main thing is - concept of family. This hookup - breakup culture will never provide good parenting, hence no education, hence no idea of how to parent your child.
The laissez-faire that you see in today's childrearing context is only due to ignorance on the part of the child rearer. Knowing nothing, he/she errs on the side of laxity. Doesn't work out well.
