@@FlameOnTheBeat I definitely don't know for sure about when wine in a can started but this episode came out over 10 years ago. So there is a good chance it wasn't at that point.
Interventions aren’t super popular but they do actually happen. I worked at a fast food restaurant and witnessed one myself. I guess Chick-Fil-A is a good place to tell your friend he needs to stop doing drugs.
I have only heard of a couple of examples, too. It takes a really particular group of people and I wouldn't say they are totally effective because it is easy to make the person feel attacked.
I like how as soon as Charlie mentions Night Crawler, he immediately realizes that he may have to explain it and that it is a weird thing to do even by his own standards
You can't detain people here either for drug issues. An intervention (in my understanding) is just a way to try to convince someone to voluntarily enter treatment
As someone who was detained by a hospital for about a week after a fentanyl overdose I respectfully disagree. In Florida they used something called the Marchman act to keep me from leaving. 24 hour supervision too. Good times.
It’s a little more complex than that, you can be detained and submitted for treatment if you’re deemed dangerous to yourself or others in some states. In Florida it’s called the Baker Act. It is however pretty limited in scope, and they can’t keep you once you’re no longer an immediate threat. This means that while they can take you in if you’re hallucinating and threatening people, they cant keep you for a full treatment for addictions. This varies state to state, but I don’t think any of them can commit you to treatment without court proceedings. Edit: Above is true for the mentally ill, the Marchman act is specifically for substance abuse
i watched one in my high school health class in 10th grade in like 2017 and still remember how disturbing that show was. like idk why anyone would watch the show for enjoyment or entertainment
There’s a show called Intervention that started in the early/mid 2000s and that sparked more comedies doing interventions around this time too (Arrested Development, The Office US, How I Met Your Mother, etc.)
i absolutely love how you're like "yeah...i get it, you're just vile human beings!" but then two minutes later after she's doing that mouth thing with the spit you're basically "oh my god get me some salt right now!!"
9:13 If you've read the theories and put together some of the hints in the show about Charlie's childhood abuse that might answer your question. A reaction video to "The Nightman Cometh" from this perspective would be interesting
Oh my gosh. Please do the D.E.N.N.I.S. system. And maybe you could team up with the Legal Eagle guy, because the D.E.N.N.I.S. system also flirts with several grey areas of the law as well.
It would be interesting to see a video about the Dr Phil and the troubled teen camp scandal, camps/treatment centres that he is connected with and how lots of patients were abused there.
Boxed wine is absolutely a thing and is great for poor college students or frugal people with low standards. I have been in both of those categories in my life. Canned wine is also a thing now, so Frank was ahead of the times!
Yeah interventions are real. Its basically a bumch of loved ones of that individual getting together in desperation to truly tell the person everything they feel, what they are worried about. How much they love them. Often times they write notes with talking points. Its a whole thing.
Yes, interventions are a real thing here in the US. There was even a TV show called "Intervention" on A&E. For me, a positive aspect of the show was the presentation of the addict's past, told by that person and family and friends. Not sure how I feel about seeing the actual drug seeking and use itself. There's a line between educational and exploitative. There are full episodes of the show here on UA-cam. I'd really like to see your reaction to one of those.
Always happy to see more deep dives on Sunny. I'd love to see you do either the episode Charlie Day: King of Rats, or Dennis Reynolds: Making a Murderer.
yay, i was *so* hoping u would do another episode for always sunny!! as an american i can say YES, people really do have interventions for their friends/family, but they're mostly treated as a joke otherwise
This is one of my all time favorite episodes. So many tiny details like the wine stains on their teeth. Plus I love outsiders being baffled by the Gang (the psychiatrist, aunt donna, etc).
I love when you pause and explain some of the most insane details of the plot. It's why I love this show. The storylines are so over-the-top bizarre that I've sort of accepted this is normal for "Sunny". You're explanations help bring to light just how off the rails the show gets.
I love your review of sunny because you can point out the medical stuff but also laugh at the funny stuff. Too many people try and take the gang seriously when they watch this stuff for a professional review
That is so in interresting what you said about nightcrawlers. I bet if Charlie were asked why he did it he couldn't even really tell you. Your reactions to the gang are hilarious though, you seem so innocent!
I mean, I've known for a wee while that I have a drinking problem tied heavily in to my depression, anxiety and general insecurities. The statement about covert drinking being a problem really hit home though. I've been doing that BEFORE I realised I had a problem. Now it's really highlighting just how long this has been an issue and how bad it's gotten now. I'm drunk now though, so this revelation is likely gunna be lost in the haze of tommorrow... I need genuine help, my life is a mess and I live in constant shame and lonliness. The only time I can bring myself to be real about it is when I'm shitfaced, which only prompts sober me to drink more in a ridiculous facade of telling myself I'm doing it in order to confront my issues while really still just using it to mask everything. My life is inevitabley going to come crashing down for good at some point, most likely sooner rather than later. Yet dispite this knowledge, I continue to self destruct. I know what I need to do, but I simply can't bring myself to do it. Instead of reaching out I continuously hide the truth from everyone and I'm so far gone, I don't see a reasonable reality where I get through this. I'm not well and I don't think I ever will/can be.
I will always love Dennis’s response to Charlie asking if they’re going overboard “I think the yelling and, pointing and, accusing and, saying that he’s trapped and surrounded is the right thing”
Dr. Elliot - Yes, in American interventions are a thing. Normally it is done around close family and friends. It usually takes place in a family room of a private house. The participates are normally open and honest with the person in peril, and show they come from a place of love and understanding. Normally it is done to ask for the person to seek treatment, like a rehab center or to see a therapist. Everything showed in Sunny was the direct opposite of reality. Doesn't take place at a bar. Nobody is drinking or carrying weapons. The person in peril knows right away it's an intervention, not a roast section. BTW, the episode was hilarious, one of my favorites.
I wonder if another intervention episode would be good 'the pez dispenser' in Seinfeld has one and also happens to be one of my favourite tv episodes ever - unpacking George Costanza would be quite something
Next: Brooklyn Nine-Nine season 6 episode 11 please, the main character Jake doesn't believe in therapy, also he was triggered and he brings up something interesting unprompted... Great reaction as always!
I love your reaction videos, only found them recently though but they are still very interesting. I would love to see an analysis on 'The View From Halfway Down'. It's my favourite episode of Bojack and I would just love to see you're take on it!
As a UK based social worker, Id say the closest thing we have to Intervention is either mediation or Family Group Conferencing - but they're all carried out from a social model rather than a medical one.
@@nthgth Well, yes, the reality where guns are magic shields that shouldn't be questioned until innocent unarmed people die over it, and no one's allowed to do anything about it.
@@blu3260 ..what? No, I meant the reality where superior firepower (not necessarily in the form of firearms, just as a basic concept) exists. Consider it equivalent to saying "don't bring a fist to a knife fight." Don't be thick.
I think interventions became more popular after TV shows where they would give an intervention to someone who was addicted to something or other. I could be wrong but there was an ep in 'How I Met your Mother' where the group is loves giving each other interventions.
If you ask me, interventions are two fold, by having them the family and friends get to learn strength from each other and the therapist, they learn to stop being enablers and have each other to lean on for support to walk away from the addict of they choose not to get help. The addict when they arrive is told that they're loved and cared for, then listens to how their addiction affects the people they care about and are given the option to seek help for their addiction in order to maintain those relationships or continue with their addiction, but lose the relationships with all those people until they do seek help. The person with the addiction won't always choose the help, but it is beneficial to the group of people attached to the addict because they will lean on each other for the strength that they might not have otherwise found on their own.
There's a series called Intervention, which probably was stopped because eventually people would catch on to it not being a documentary about their addiction. They had eating disorders, drugs, alcohol. Then the people who were enabling them, like letting the addict live with them for free and they would pay for the substance. The people would write letters saying how it affected them. The addict would have to agree and they'd be flown out of state. It wouldn't work during the pandemic or in the UK because it's too small. It was an entertaining show. We had celebrity rehab too
Yes! Day made and video liked before you even started. I already know that I will enjoy your professional insight into the most perfectly insane show ever put together
Boxed wine is actually a thing in other places than the US as well. Here in the States, it has generally been reserved for lower-quality wine, but in recent years it's expanded to nicer wines in some cases, usually due to sustainability and environmental reasons. I also lived in Japan for a few years, and all kinds of wine are boxed there, even nice sakes in some cases. 😁👍
I had a friend whose heroin addiction had gotten really bad, and he was stealing from all of us. We were worried he was going to OD, as so many of our friends already had. So we had an intervention for him. He went to rehab and moved in with his parents for awhile while going to therapy for the underlying causes. That was 2014 and he's still sober, so it does work sometimes.
Insurance in america usually covers something when talking about dependence issues. There are also free community programs. Also if you get arrested on a charge that involves alchahol, you usually get therapy to help with that through the state
Theres a tv show called intervention where they show people addicted to drugs and alcohol and the familys process of getting help for them. its quite interesting.
It's a big thing. They have "facilitators" who get certified from organizations that help organize and guide them. Often they are ex addicts. It's a group confrontation where everyone tells the person how they are hurting them. The goal is almost always to get them from the intervention into rehab. We had a whole TV series that documented them. They seem to devolve into screaming matches at some point every time. I don't know if there's ever been an studies on how effect they are.
11:00 it gets me everytime when he busts in thinking theres a grease fire.....with a gun, asking "wheres the fire!" while locking the hammer. Like bruh, what are you goanna do to a fire with a gun? How is the gun gonna help, i love it! Its the most american thing i can think of in the moment, they only needed to have him in a cowboy hat with some links hangin out of his pocket.
So recently some states have lifted laws on drug use (not on selling/distribution) in hopes that addiction itself and the isolated use will stop being viewed as a criminal offense and taken more seriously as a mental health concern. Obviously any crimes committed on any substance such as DUIs are still admissible due to you choosing to do said substances leading to you in whatever altered state to put others at risk and/or breaking other laws. Also the courts can mandate rehab, but from what I’m tracking it’s more of a grace as in “rehab or jail - if you fuck up in rehab somehow you’ll automatically subscribe to the latter”, unless other mental health conditions lead you to being sent to an inpatient care facility that will double as your rehab somewhat unintentionally. In fact my Grandma told me a fair amount of her patients were self medicating via illicit substances as painfully common as that is. (She was a pysch tech who primarily worked with dudes who kept going to jail/prison until someone was like “Hey I don’t think it’s just them breaking the law that’s the problem.”) There are also other means of ensuring you’re staying clean such as ankle bracelets that detect if you’re sweating out booze (Don’t know if they pick up other drugs in your sweat) and/or routine drug testing when visiting your probation/parol officer, or if you’re being released from psychiatric care half way houses that help transition you out of long term care do the same and are there to help you get set up and stay stabilized.
Dee is drinking a can of Wine there! LMADO! The big COOL thing the gang finds in that episode is Boxed wine and putting it in soda cans so they can go around all.day and everywhere drinking wine LMADO!🤣🤣🤣
Just found this channel, binged lots of videos, subscribed because I love it lol. Interventions are definitely a thing in the US, not overly common but one happened to me. It’s basically a giant guilt trip that makes you feel nothing but shame and regret to the point of seeking help. Not pleasant and not helpful, in my opinion.
4:28 that’s pretty much the same as the US. The point of an intervention is to try to get the person who needs help to recognize how much their addictions have impacted their relationships with friends and family. It’s intended to get them to “want” to get help. They can’t force them into hospital.
In nearly 70 years in America, I think my only exposure to "intervention" as a process through which an individual is made aware of dangerous behaviors, has been via television. I suppose writer's block is the cause, and it's sometimes used as the premise for TV shows, particularly situation comedies.
Yes an intervention is a way to help a person in America, usually only for extreme cases and doesn't go like this. Also great video :) got a couple a of laughs
Not sure if you've done it yet, but I'd be curious to see your reactions to "Making Dennis Reynolds a Murderer" from IASIP. I'm sure there's probably plenty in that episode to pick through that would be worth your time.
So a thing that's common in the area where I live which is South East Georgia in the US is after funerals we go out and get smashed in the honor of who passed. Not sure what that says about us. Never seen an "intervention" in my 30 years of life and not sure what good they would do.
Really enjoy these videos, especially the ones about sunny. You should check out some HIMYM too I think. There's probably a lot to unpack looking at Barney, Ted and Lily's marriage
It's so interesting watching him talk about all the ill effects of alcohol, and the most prominent thing in the background is his alcohol cabinet. Not accusing him of anything, love this guy, just kinda ironic.
My older siblings and I all used to play a game together called "Amoeba" which involved one person getting a big blanket and crawling around the floor with it on top of them, chasing the rest of us until we got caught and "absorbed" by the amoeba lol The game did also include sound effects! So Nightcrawlers sounds perfectly normal to me, no lie 😂 I mean like everyone in my family is neurodivergent. I'm autistic, so is my oldest brother and maybe my sister. My other brother is/has ADHD. We're a funky bunch and we do some weird shit Some people say Charlie might be autistic so that makes sense that he became my favourite. I always end up gravitating to the fan-theory/unintentionally/accidentally-on-purpose autistic ones

You can't detain people here either for drug issues. An intervention (in my understanding) is just a way to try to convince someone to voluntarily enter treatment
Ricky's law here in washington state allows for individuals to be involuntarily hospitalized for substance use disorder.
As someone who was detained by a hospital for about a week after a fentanyl overdose I respectfully disagree. In Florida they used something called the Marchman act to keep me from leaving. 24 hour supervision too. Good times.
@@DastardlyDavid69 Good thing you're still here.. did it help?
@@_Jake.From.Statefarm_ I got off of fentanyl. I relapsed recently but I’m no longer physically addicted. So 99% of days I’m good.
It’s a little more complex than that, you can be detained and submitted for treatment if you’re deemed dangerous to yourself or others in some states. In Florida it’s called the Baker Act.

Boxed wine is better because it's cheap, ever eaten at a restaurant and they cook with wine? It comes from a box

You can buy an amazing wine directly from the vineyard in a box, or have a shitty wine in a glass bottle.
We used to take the bag out the box. I don’t know why we found drinking out the bag so amusing.

You should react to “The Gang Squashes Beef”
I have never heard of someone having an intervention. But I have had several scares where I thought I was about to be the subject of one.
Insurance in america usually covers something when talking about dependence issues. There are also free community programs. Also if you get arrested on a charge that involves alchahol, you usually get therapy to help with that through the state
Theres a tv show called intervention where they show people addicted to drugs and alcohol and the familys process of getting help for them. its quite interesting.
love your vids, i watch the bojack one a lot. u should do more bojack, maybe like free churro or something
Time’s Up for The Gang is certainly one worth checking out!
It's a big thing. They have "facilitators" who get certified from organizations that help organize and guide them. Often they are ex addicts. It's a group confrontation where everyone tells the person how they are hurting them. The goal is almost always to get them from the intervention into rehab. We had a whole TV series that documented them. They seem to devolve into screaming matches at some point every time. I don't know if there's ever been an studies on how effect they are.
Omg please do, “mac and Dennis buy a time share” poor Ben smith hahahahaha
I'd love to see you breaking down an episode of My Mad Fat Diary! That show really had an impact on me in my teens
I love the always sunny reactions!
Celebrity rehab guy Dr. Drew did the commentary track for this episode, it was pretty good!
we even have boxed wine in the uk, in pretty much every shop lol. I used to like them a lot.
11:00 it gets me everytime when he busts in thinking theres a grease fire.....with a gun, asking "wheres the fire!" while locking the hammer.
Like bruh, what are you goanna do to a fire with a gun? How is the gun gonna help, i love it! Its the most american thing i can think of in the moment, they only needed to have him in a cowboy hat with some links hangin out of his pocket.
So recently some states have lifted laws on drug use (not on selling/distribution) in hopes that addiction itself and the isolated use will stop being viewed as a criminal offense and taken more seriously as a mental health concern. Obviously any crimes committed on any substance such as DUIs are still admissible due to you choosing to do said substances leading to you in whatever altered state to put others at risk and/or breaking other laws. Also the courts can mandate rehab, but from what I’m tracking it’s more of a grace as in “rehab or jail - if you fuck up in rehab somehow you’ll automatically subscribe to the latter”, unless other mental health conditions lead you to being sent to an inpatient care facility that will double as your rehab somewhat unintentionally. In fact my Grandma told me a fair amount of her patients were self medicating via illicit substances as painfully common as that is. (She was a pysch tech who primarily worked with dudes who kept going to jail/prison until someone was like “Hey I don’t think it’s just them breaking the law that’s the problem.”) There are also other means of ensuring you’re staying clean such as ankle bracelets that detect if you’re sweating out booze (Don’t know if they pick up other drugs in your sweat) and/or routine drug testing when visiting your probation/parol officer, or if you’re being released from psychiatric care half way houses that help transition you out of long term care do the same and are there to help you get set up and stay stabilized.
Dee is drinking a can of Wine there! LMADO! The big COOL thing the gang finds in that episode is Boxed wine and putting it in soda cans so they can go around all.day and everywhere drinking wine LMADO!🤣🤣🤣
Just found this channel, binged lots of videos, subscribed because I love it lol. Interventions are definitely a thing in the US, not overly common but one happened to me. It’s basically a giant guilt trip that makes you feel nothing but shame and regret to the point of seeking help. Not pleasant and not helpful, in my opinion.
4:28 that’s pretty much the same as the US. The point of an intervention is to try to get the person who needs help to recognize how much their addictions have impacted their relationships with friends and family. It’s intended to get them to “want” to get help. They can’t force them into hospital.
In nearly 70 years in America, I think my only exposure to "intervention" as a process through which an individual is made aware of dangerous behaviors, has been via television. I suppose writer's block is the cause, and it's sometimes used as the premise for TV shows, particularly situation comedies.
9:15 [talking about Charlie]: and what happened in his childhood?
Oooooh boi
Oof 😔
Yes an intervention is a way to help a person in America, usually only for extreme cases and doesn't go like this. Also great video :) got a couple a of laughs
You have no idea how fast I clicked this video
"someone is going to get shot", that person would, undoubtedly, be cricket.
Not sure if you've done it yet, but I'd be curious to see your reactions to "Making Dennis Reynolds a Murderer" from IASIP. I'm sure there's probably plenty in that episode to pick through that would be worth your time.
So a thing that's common in the area where I live which is South East Georgia in the US is after funerals we go out and get smashed in the honor of who passed. Not sure what that says about us. Never seen an "intervention" in my 30 years of life and not sure what good they would do.
Have you reacted to "an always sunny Christmas" I think that one would be interesting to analyze for charlie especially
“The solution to one gun is more guns” the US in a nutshell 💀
Really enjoy these videos, especially the ones about sunny. You should check out some HIMYM too I think. There's probably a lot to unpack looking at Barney, Ted and Lily's marriage
Ready to the show Wilfred. My second favorite show next to Sunny.
It's so interesting watching him talk about all the ill effects of alcohol, and the most prominent thing in the background is his alcohol cabinet. Not accusing him of anything, love this guy, just kinda ironic.
As an ex problem drinker it tickled me.
My older siblings and I all used to play a game together called "Amoeba" which involved one person getting a big blanket and crawling around the floor with it on top of them, chasing the rest of us until we got caught and "absorbed" by the amoeba lol
The game did also include sound effects!
So Nightcrawlers sounds perfectly normal to me, no lie 😂
I mean like everyone in my family is neurodivergent. I'm autistic, so is my oldest brother and maybe my sister. My other brother is/has ADHD. We're a funky bunch and we do some weird shit
Some people say Charlie might be autistic so that makes sense that he became my favourite. I always end up gravitating to the fan-theory/unintentionally/accidentally-on-purpose autistic ones
Frank was my dad in the last 10 years of his life. What a crazy fun time that was.
I like how informative and funny your videos are. :) would more BoJack reaction videos be on the cards, at all? :)
