Dude it's such a pain in the ass to have an aquarium. I just wanted pretty fish and instead Cory the Catfish got HOLE IN THE HEAD DISEASE because I didn't check the Ph one fuckin day. I'm sorry Cory I tried man. Feeding you those peas was a meaningful experience I'll never forget
Yeah I'm in this weird place with my skill as an artist where everything I make is bad compared to professionals (which i xwhaqt I'm going for) but on some level I think I'm better than most of the other artists around me because they all literally tell me I am lol
As a knitter, I WISH more people around me felt the way you do. I learned to knit 16 years ago to make ME shit. I wish more people didn’t want handmade gifts, because I don’t wanna make them 🥰❤ and I won’t.
Keep the scarcity going. They only want them because you refuse to make them. If you suddenly gave everyone hand-knit Xmas presents, they would stop asking. I've always wanted to take up knitting to make nice sweaters for me, too.
You look like you're 17. How young were you when you started knitting? You have an old ass soul, lady. No, I didn't say old asshole...that's TBD when you send me your onlyfans link.
I make dollhouse miniatures, which has the fun side effect of making you do like 20 other hobbies just… tiny. Unironically, it has made me use/learn how to do: woodworking, electric wiring, sculpting, painting, photography, resin pouring, digital art, tile laying, sewing, and basket weaving, plus I know other people who do embroidery, masonry, pewter casting, metal working, cross stitch, quilting, cobbling, and more. It can also ruin your back, hands, and eyes but it’s really damn cute!
As someone who customizes action figures, yeah 🫠It turns into a combination historian, seamstress & glue expert. If you rlly wanna make your life a living hell, you can get into paints too.
I do complex knotwork with paracord (mostly custom-order collars/ leashes & accessories)... i've often wondered if i could make 1:12 mini versions of my designs, to go with ppls miniature dogs... but i think i'd need coke-bottle size glasses for it & give myself a migraine 😂 Do you use a lighting/magnification setup when you work?
“I think to be good at art you have to spend your entire life thinking you’re bad at art” is actually kind of an inspirational, or I guess reassuring thing to hear. I spend a lot of time worrying that I’m shit at art and will always be shit at it, so it’s just nice to hear someone say something like that
If I ever sell my art I’m naming it brutally honest stuff like “I need to pay rent” and “art supplies is 80 bucks and I still need to eat” and “I didn’t want to make this but please buy it so I can afford to live in this god forsaken city by my day job”

bro you didn’t have to destroy me that hard, I don’t take pretentious photos of black and white lawn chairs, i take pictures of street cats chasing a leaf :( (jk haha, great video as always big man)
You are not wrong about woodworking at all! I've got so many scars from the most benign tasks. It's also a nightmare factory when it comes to custom orders from random people. "I'd like a walnut dining set, and my budget is $200." You know, things that make you question if this was a good idea.
My grandpa died like a few months after I last saw him and during the visit he showed me his trains and he was almost finished- I really hope he finished the map before his passing.. He rarely let anyone in his train room. I was the only one out all my siblings to see them in action- it’s a nice memory
Awww, I hope he got to finish it too. 🥺 Even if not, I hope he at least was proud of himself for the progress he did make. That sounds so fun. So sorry for your loss. Glad you have good memories of him to hold onto 🥹❤️
As someone who crochets, I could probably make a similar Yoshi plush in 2-3 hours. I always give plushies as gifts because 1) they're quicker, and 2) if I know the bare minimum about someone's interests I can probably find a plushie to match The scarf thing is totally valid tho
yeah while we're on the subject, Tuggs if you're reading this, scarves only take about an hour or two to crochet, depending on complexity. it's not a HUGE investment of our time and we won't be too devastated if you "left it in an uber" before NYE! 😂 a sweater or blanket on the other hand...
Dude those handmade plushies are genuinely one of the best gifts I have ever received from my friends, like they’re adorable AND someone literally made it?!? Count me all the way in on that one 👌
My partners mother knit us one of the best blankets I think I've ever experienced. It's mildly weighted, by nature of its heft, it's there perfect temp and breathable, and literally every guest is obsessed. Peak self made gift.
I hate the side hustle culture. I do tie dye and the people in my life want me to buckle down, do a lot more tie dye, and try selling them. Man, im just looking for a bit of seratonin. I want to feel like im not a product for a moment
Yo, I feel that. I draw and I used to take commissions. But after a while it just began to feel like a job with deadlines and I'm like..."okay this sucks now..." so I stopped doing it for money, or trying to pursue it as a career. Now I do it on my on time, whatever I want to draw with no pressure. The feeling of finishing a piece you're proud of is absolutely immeasurable.
I like to paint, but I have no interest in selling that, and I can see, but I sew for me. I am not hard up for money, and nobody is paying me what the items are worth, except other artists or craftsmen, but they would most likely make their own shit, so they don't need mine. I'm good.
People are always trying to talk me into monetizing my hobbies, but I actively resist it. I want my hobby to be a fun break from work, not a second form of work that pays less per hour than my actual job. Also, I always remember what an older guy I used to work with told me his friend who went into business for himself had said. "When you work a normal job, you have a boss. When you work for yourself, every customer is your boss." And its super stressful to have a hundred different bosses with a hundred different needs or demands on how they want things to be done. I don't need that kind of stress in my life. I'm too old to keep bending over backwards to do whatever I can do not lose customers.
I'm like this about writing. It actually disgusts me that writing is ever used to make people money. I don't even like the idea of profiting from my writing in terms of notoriety or reputation. So I simply refuse to share it.
"I think in order to be good at art, you have to go your whole life believing you're bad at art." As an artist, ironically, Tucker is right. You stop improving once you believe there's nothing left to learn. A large part of the art journey is falling on your face over and over and picking yourself back up knowing you'll fall over again. It's what makes masterful pieces so beautiful. You know the work was the culmination of years of skill and failure. And if you're in the middle of an art block right now and you're watching an anxious little man in your phone to procrastinate/ignore your current work? I see you, take this as a little message that it sucks and it's a struggle, but it's alright. We're all struggling together. Maybe enjoy that break and pick up that pencil/brush/stylus and try again in ten minutes. You got this 😀
Yep, but there's a balance. You can't look at everything you ever make and go "this is just dogshit. wtf am i even doing with my life" because that's disheartening and you might give up. But you also can't look at everything you make and think you're already up there with the greats, because then you never improve and the real greats never stopped improving. You gotta find some kinda subject you're insane about, get to the point where you enjoy your art of it well enough, then look to others art and see what THEY do that makes you more obsessed and try to get a similar effect. You could be a capital A artist looking to add metaphor to everything, or you could be just trying to draw pictures of your favorite silly little characters/animals/machinery/etc. Either way, you always gotta both enjoy your work and see the goal you want it to emulate in order to get good.
@@molluscumlore Very true! There's more to it than just git gud or not when it comes to art - it's all about the process as well, and if you enjoy making it in of itself (sometimes it's a kind of love that hurts/is full of struggle, and other times it'll be smooth sailing). For some artists, it can be good to have a desire to level up ability-wise, but life isn't always about pushing the limits and sometimes drawing a simple scratchy, messy doodle in a sketchbook to relax a bit can work as well.
I’m 46 years old and my hobby is Minecraft shut up. It’s only kind of weird. I don’t play with kids. I play with my friend. He’s a doctor and he’s in his 50s. And a couple of fellas from South Africa that are never on at the same time as anybody also Frank’s wife … Anyway, hobbies kick ass tug…
My dad started playing Minecraft with my niece and now he's got her other grandpa playing with him when she's not available. This makes me so happy. lol We played it with our kid and also got hooked. It's such a great game! I've moved on to Roblox now, and I'm 45, so.... no judgement from me!
My hobbies include beekeeping, gardening, learning American sign language, and smoking weed while playing VRChat. I do digital photography with a DSLR as well, but not because of your reasons, Sir Tuckums. I use my 80mm fisheye lens and my DSLR set to bulb mode with a timer remote set at an offset in order to capture timelapses of the galaxy rotating overhead at night, typically out in the middle of nowhere, miles away from the interstate in state park territory. Phones can't do that yet, so I get stoned and stare literally out into space at the structures that surround us all right now. It hits different seeing it for yourself, out there away from everyone. Also, just a follow-up about the beekeeping thing. Honey, straight from the beehive is called Bees-legs, honey. My first year i got 4 _LITERS_ of honey... of which i then turned half into mead. Alcohol. I became a beekeeper and ended up with alcohol. The bees also pollinated my garden and set me up with mad tomatoes and squash, yo. Also, bees are chill as fuck unless you're stupid around them.... and you're not stupid, are you?
I have severe adhd so my hobby is whatever my mind has latched onto that month. Right now it’s metal art! My favorite food changes every few weeks, as does my taste in music, video games, and books. I go in a gigantic circle, and will get obsessed with things I was obsessed with in the past. That usually takes a few years tho… 😅
-dvd/bluray collection wasn't mentioned -writing video essays on movies I recently watched wasn't mentioned These count as hobbies because I don't make money off of them 👍
14:12 Cool thing about this: bees know you take there honey. And so they make more, the bees are okay with this because they produce more honey than they can eat in the wild. So they limit themselves, and they know that you help the so the bees are okay with it.
My idiot of a friend once tried sanding a little 1 inch by 1 inch cube ona belt sander. His hand slipped and the block shot off and hit him in the balls. In the end he ended up with 1 less palm, 1 less nut and an infinite amount of dignity gone
YES! His entire grievance with fibre art doesn’t apply to me because NEVER in my life will I knit a gift for someone else 🤣 that’s like 40-80 hours of work gtfouttahere
Crochet socks are amazing, though. I use wool and make them a bit too big for the feet and they're so cozy in winter. I make scarves, shawls, fingerless mittens, and socks both for myself and for any family member who requests one for a gift giving holiday.
Lmao, im 14 in 9th grade, and last year in 8th grade, my middle school principal asked me to make art for the school, and currently, 5 of my paintings are hung in that school. The high school is connected to the middle school, so I'lll go over and admire them sometimes lol (i only did all thst to make them happy, i hated every bit of it) and now My art teachers are thinking about me painting a mural for the high school, But like i dont even like art anymore, and it sucks. im asked to draw stuff for projects like every time we have a project that includes art, and the other day I told my friend, and he goes, "BEING AN ARTIST IS YOUR WHOLE PERSONALITY NO" 😭🙏🏻 like bro that was my biggest fear. Anyways not rlly related to the video but i felt like sharing bc the first hobby you bashed was art 😼 LOVE YOU TUGG
As a guitarist, pianist, and bassist I can confirm that a shitload of people will pick up an acoustic guitar, play wonderwall and call themselves the next Jimi Hendrix
As a shitty guitarist, pianist, and whatever-instrument-you-put-in-front-of-me-ist, if the joy of making music is not your goal, you are a lost soul. I would give up all that I have gained since 2019 to go back to the 5 hour guitar sessions with my old roommate
@@berttorpson2592 I don’t know why I didn’t respond to this then but I agree, I’ve seen countless thirst trap guitarists playing the vocals from arctic monkeys or Lana del ray songs with red lights in the background and it’s clear that’s not what they are trying to do
That's the thing I always think about when people bring up the whole "all you doing is taking a picture buhh just use a phone". I have to silently remind myself that practically all of advertising revolves around these really resourceful and smart people who know how to work the programs properly and take these beautiful shots but no it's just pictures
i'm a photojournalist and videographer as part of my job, i'm not into either as a hobby, I enjoy it as work but not in my free time. My free time is for my MMO, gamers and MMO gamers are different people lol!
Thanks to Tucker ive now been cured of my happiness and fulfillment that my hobby has given me and replaced it with depression. No longer will i struggle to find unfullfillment because now nothing ever will
16:33 model train sets are sick and I will die on that hill. I've never personally built one and I probably never will since that requires space, time, and lots of money. But goddammit, I love looking at them.
there was a place in my city called Udisco that had a massive model train set upstairs, and I always loved going to go see it as a kid. Sadly the old guy that owned it retired and the kids ran it into the ground and it closed a few years ago. Model trains are dope asf though
Why not try building a small one? N scale, which is small, on a 3 foot by 3 foot table from lets say Ikea; look up some youtube vids on creating budget scenery and just run with it.
To answer your question... yes both smoking and masturbarion are both hobbies. Anything you do in your free time regularly, that takes up a decent amount of time out of your day, that is done solely for pleasure or self satisfaction is a hobby.
I feel as though a hobby is something where the time allocated is as a separate chunk of your day - smoking is done intermittently within other activities. As for wanking, I think that, 'decent', from your definition is the key word: if you really are allocating that much time, sure, it counts, but I suspect that most don't.
@billyfox6368 Smoking is done intermittently but most people who do smoke have at least a few per day, and spend around 5-10 minutes doing it per session, Id say that adds up enough time to qualify as a hobby, you could even say eating is a hobby to some extent, if its done solely for the enjoyment of flavors instead of a desire to fill up it could be considered a hobby, just eating junk food. For me a decent amount of time is anywhere from 30 minutes+ per day you do the hobby.
Smoking, yes, but masturbation is actually great for the health;when it's done safely with clean hands or a proper toy. Stuffing a Christmas tree up your ass or whatever some of these dudes be doing is not safe but the occasional wank or flick of the bean is great it's when people start being constantly on their couch watching porn and masturbating instead of actually doing their work and taking care of themselves when it becomes a problem. Anything can become an addiction and anything when it becomes an addiction or an obsession is bad.
9:19 the only thing close to slam poetry I’ve ever liked is I Saw Jesus Hanging on a Basketball Hoop because it sounds like something I’d hate but it’s so good it makes me want to cry
My dad got a letter from his over-the-fence neighbor saying that one of his bees would come into her yard. He wrote the most hilarious letter back asking which bee was it and never mailed it.
@@sleepycalicogod that’s funny. I’m just imaging him painstakingly naming and identifying every single bee, and going “was it Beeatrice? I swear she is always up to no good!” (I couldn’t think of a good male name with a bee pun, so the queen is gonna have to be the mischief maker in this hypothetical 💀)
@@Kingbimmy All worker bees are female. Drones (male bees) are legit "useless" outside of providing genetic diversity in reproducing with the queen, so your pun is still accurate lol
11:40- as someone that crochets most people that crochet piss me off too. after years of bullying people for having old people hobbies they saw a new trend on tiktok and learned a few simple things then two months later theyre selling their work at markets with thousands of followers. i did not go thru years of bullying bc i liked to crochet just to have the SAME EXACT PEOPLE who bullied me MAKE MONEY FROM IT! and its always either stuffies or granny squares and those are like two of the easiest things to make, especially if you have a tutorial- and most of the time you can tell they used tuts bc the stuff they sell can be easily found on youtube (frogs, whales, chickens, granny square bucket hat/bag, etc). like i wouldnt mind if i saw someone try somethhing genuinely creative but you can tell its 100% for the trend/money
oh my god same. I may be "alt" but I was in the trenches in middle school when knitting and crochet was still a bully-able offense, I have no problem with people coming around to it even if they bullied me personally but it was very jarring! Also those plushie kits with the thick yarn piss me off I cannot tell you why i just have a violent reaction.
I said it once and I will say it again, I appreciate this man. Because no matter how low I am feeling, how bad life is going for me, I can find solace in the fact that this man manages to be far more miserable with far less. Really helps me reflect on my life. So thanks Big Tugg.
At the end of my day I'll put on some Big Tugg and feel him collect away all of my negative energy before converting it into rage about something I vaguely have thoughts on. Unlike most other angry-man UA-camrs, I always leave his videos feeling relaxed. Thank you sir Tugg
0:52 this is a pet peeve of mine. I have a TON of hobbies, mostly around making/creating things. E.g. knitting/crocheting, friendship bracelets, 3D printing, And **EVERY** TIME, WITHOUT FAIL, when i show someone new something i made (or even people who've seen my stuff before, typically relatives) they say "oh wow that's really cool! You could sell the items you make and make a little business out of it!" And i have to pretend to not be annoyed/mad/upset about it. I do these things FOR FUN!! Making money is not fun to me, it's just something I *have* to do to survive! I have no desire to start a business or sell the things i make because that just sounds like more of a hassle than it's worth to me. I just want to make my little things in peace 😭
12:01 this is actually why I get so nervous about asking people if they want things. I have a list of people who have asked me for stuff but if people don’t ask I am not gonna do it. It is also why I can’t bring myself to sell anything because I know that what I make is with love not skill
AHh you forgot another sub-genre of the arts and craft world. Miniature painters, y'know, the guys who spend literal life-changing sums of money for an entire shed's worth of minis and spend another equally life-changing amount of money attempting to paint them all. For those who actually use these minis in games, they're chronic liars. They lie to themselves because those minis have not been moved out of their shelving unit in about a year.
You will apologize to my thousand sons (Jk jk jk I spent 60 bucks on like 5 of my little dusty dudes, and while I regret it a little, I did have fun making those lmao)
this sounds awesome!! my only hope is that the commissions dont take away from the joy of writing simply because youre a fan of something. but like, if youre gonna be doing it anyway, might as well make money from it i guess lol. hope your commissions continue going well!!
No offense intended but what exactly is fanfiction anymore? It’s so full of glorified amateur sexual fantasy novels that I’m not sure which people mean at this point. Assuming it’s just what-if stories for your favorite characters in entertainment fair enough and super cool but man… Some people.
@@Zanemob I get where you're coming from, and you're mostly right, except I don't do anything sexual in my fanfics. That's never been my thing, I also don't know why people enjoy doing that. All my stories are PG-13 like for example, what if Naruto was raised in iron country and was a Ronin instead of a shinobi.
@@Zanemob fanfiction is just people writing fiction about media theyre fans of. thats literally the entire thing. quite a bit of fanfiction IS sexual, yes, but it doesnt have to be. it could be anything from “what if these two characters kissed or more” to “what if these characters were actually living in a completely different setting (e.g. fantasy characters in a modern setting)” to “what if the story was the exact same but this happened at the end instead”. this is oversimplified but thats basically what fanfiction is
As a person who crochets I understand people don’t want scarves so I make them plushies of their favorite animal or I just don’t give them anything and keep my cool stuff to myself
My dad's hobby is woodworking (and yelling at me for not teading his mind). We installed molding all over our house (chair, shadow boxes, and coffered ceilings) one year when i was 13... Terrible memories but excellent skill 🥲
Me drinking while I paint D&D minis, using expensive paint, fucking it up, since I'm drunk, then repainting it the next time I start drinking since I feel confident again, rinse and repeat until it's too many layers of paint losing the details of the figure. Buy the same 40$ mini again and wasting all the paint again 😭
Yeah, I gave up on hobbies years ago. Spend a bunch of money on paint or fabric or wood or whatever, lose time/interest/run out of money/fuck it up, throw everything away 4 years later when you get tired of looking at your failure every day. Now I just stay up too late on the Internet and drink too much in order to get to sleep. Cheers!
My dad is a train guy. I love to garden (my profession and my hobby). A few years ago, I installed a garden in his backyard with plants, rocks, and trained small shrubs for him to build his outdoor layout. He's a retired veteran, and his train set is where all the neighborhood men gather to crack a beer. Does he literally have 2 bedrooms and a large shed stacked to the gills with trains which he used to joke was our college money when we were younger? Yes. But it makes him happy. Plus, there's nothing that attracts more neighbors to come hang out than a front yard train set. Folks used to pull up lawn chairs and sit for a couple hours. I loved it as a kid.
6:45 hey, I can actually answer this one. The reason why you would want to stick to a DSLR or a mirrorless over something like a point-and-shoot digital or even a smartphone is entirely based on things like your sensor size. The image sensor used in a phone camera is incredibly small and can only capture so much detail but a high quality DSLR sensor is several magnitudes larger and can take insanely detailed photos from things super small to super large. The other big thing of course is lenses. Some lenses are several thousand to tens of thousands of dollars and they are 100% justified at that price point for what they're used for.
in terms of poetry, I think shel Silverstein is a good poet but not seeming self important and douchey. I love how it can be informal and fun and still tell a story and create emotion.

As a guitarist/music hobbyist in general, hard agree. One day I called in sick from work to compose a track because I knew I'd forget the melody by the time I got through with my shift and back home. Totally worth it; I still listen to it and occasionally show folks because, honestly Imma keep it 💯, some of this stuff I just write for myself in a way that I don't describe as selfish, since I get joy out of sharing it too!
I’m a violinist but like there are some parts in songs that were specifically written in a way so musicians would get laid. Like if I’m just playing the Tchaikovsky violin concerto and I’m at that passage where it’s all on the g string how else am I supposed to musically play it since historically it was meant to sound attractive. But those local musicians who can’t read sheet music and teach themselves all this stuff piss me off. They think they are so good cause they found stuff online.
I crochet, and I made a scarf for someone this year...he wore it constantly during the winter, so either he liked it, or just wanted to please me. Both of those outcomes are awesome.
"Litany in which certain things are crossed out" is by far one of Siken's best works, finding out tugg knows of his poems is like finding out he's a fan of Alex G

It can also ruin your back, hands, and eyes but it’s really damn cute!

bro you didn’t have to destroy me that hard, I don’t take pretentious photos of black and white lawn chairs, i take pictures of street cats chasing a leaf :(
(jk haha, great video as always big man)
To be fair, any photo of cats is instantly priceless
You are not wrong about woodworking at all! I've got so many scars from the most benign tasks. It's also a nightmare factory when it comes to custom orders from random people. "I'd like a walnut dining set, and my budget is $200." You know, things that make you question if this was a good idea.
Bro, the best that hypothetical customer is getting from $200 is a walnut veneered chipboard table that might seat 4 at most 😂
My grandpa died like a few months after I last saw him and during the visit he showed me his trains and he was almost finished- I really hope he finished the map before his passing..
He rarely let anyone in his train room. I was the only one out all my siblings to see them in action- it’s a nice memory
Awww, I hope he got to finish it too. 🥺
Even if not, I hope he at least was proud of himself for the progress he did make. That sounds so fun.
So sorry for your loss. Glad you have good memories of him to hold onto 🥹❤️
As someone who crochets, I could probably make a similar Yoshi plush in 2-3 hours. I always give plushies as gifts because 1) they're quicker, and 2) if I know the bare minimum about someone's interests I can probably find a plushie to match
The scarf thing is totally valid tho
I’m a knitter and guilty of giving away scarves for Christmas 😂😂😂
*little girls love infinity scarves because it’s basically a boa
Bunny in a bat costume ^-^
yeah while we're on the subject, Tuggs if you're reading this, scarves only take about an hour or two to crochet, depending on complexity. it's not a HUGE investment of our time and we won't be too devastated if you "left it in an uber" before NYE! 😂 a sweater or blanket on the other hand...
Dude those handmade plushies are genuinely one of the best gifts I have ever received from my friends, like they’re adorable AND someone literally made it?!? Count me all the way in on that one 👌
My partners mother knit us one of the best blankets I think I've ever experienced. It's mildly weighted, by nature of its heft, it's there perfect temp and breathable, and literally every guest is obsessed. Peak self made gift.
I hate the side hustle culture. I do tie dye and the people in my life want me to buckle down, do a lot more tie dye, and try selling them. Man, im just looking for a bit of seratonin. I want to feel like im not a product for a moment
Yo, I feel that. I draw and I used to take commissions. But after a while it just began to feel like a job with deadlines and I'm like..."okay this sucks now..." so I stopped doing it for money, or trying to pursue it as a career. Now I do it on my on time, whatever I want to draw with no pressure. The feeling of finishing a piece you're proud of is absolutely immeasurable.
I agree! My husband encouraged me to start sewing to make money. I immediately hated sewing and didn't sew for like 5 years.
I like to paint, but I have no interest in selling that, and I can see, but I sew for me. I am not hard up for money, and nobody is paying me what the items are worth, except other artists or craftsmen, but they would most likely make their own shit, so they don't need mine. I'm good.
People are always trying to talk me into monetizing my hobbies, but I actively resist it. I want my hobby to be a fun break from work, not a second form of work that pays less per hour than my actual job. Also, I always remember what an older guy I used to work with told me his friend who went into business for himself had said. "When you work a normal job, you have a boss. When you work for yourself, every customer is your boss." And its super stressful to have a hundred different bosses with a hundred different needs or demands on how they want things to be done. I don't need that kind of stress in my life. I'm too old to keep bending over backwards to do whatever I can do not lose customers.
I'm like this about writing. It actually disgusts me that writing is ever used to make people money. I don't even like the idea of profiting from my writing in terms of notoriety or reputation. So I simply refuse to share it.
“that just seems like using my eyes with extra steps”

"I think in order to be good at art, you have to go your whole life believing you're bad at art."
As an artist, ironically, Tucker is right. You stop improving once you believe there's nothing left to learn. A large part of the art journey is falling on your face over and over and picking yourself back up knowing you'll fall over again. It's what makes masterful pieces so beautiful. You know the work was the culmination of years of skill and failure.
And if you're in the middle of an art block right now and you're watching an anxious little man in your phone to procrastinate/ignore your current work? I see you, take this as a little message that it sucks and it's a struggle, but it's alright. We're all struggling together. Maybe enjoy that break and pick up that pencil/brush/stylus and try again in ten minutes. You got this 😀
I felt that.. thank you
Yep, but there's a balance. You can't look at everything you ever make and go "this is just dogshit. wtf am i even doing with my life" because that's disheartening and you might give up. But you also can't look at everything you make and think you're already up there with the greats, because then you never improve and the real greats never stopped improving. You gotta find some kinda subject you're insane about, get to the point where you enjoy your art of it well enough, then look to others art and see what THEY do that makes you more obsessed and try to get a similar effect. You could be a capital A artist looking to add metaphor to everything, or you could be just trying to draw pictures of your favorite silly little characters/animals/machinery/etc. Either way, you always gotta both enjoy your work and see the goal you want it to emulate in order to get good.
@@molluscumlore
Very true! There's more to it than just git gud or not when it comes to art - it's all about the process as well, and if you enjoy making it in of itself (sometimes it's a kind of love that hurts/is full of struggle, and other times it'll be smooth sailing). For some artists, it can be good to have a desire to level up ability-wise, but life isn't always about pushing the limits and sometimes drawing a simple scratchy, messy doodle in a sketchbook to relax a bit can work as well.
too deep my guy, thank you.

My dad started playing Minecraft with my niece and now he's got her other grandpa playing with him when she's not available. This makes me so happy. lol We played it with our kid and also got hooked. It's such a great game! I've moved on to Roblox now, and I'm 45, so.... no judgement from me!
My hobbies include beekeeping, gardening, learning American sign language, and smoking weed while playing VRChat.
I do digital photography with a DSLR as well, but not because of your reasons, Sir Tuckums.
I use my 80mm fisheye lens and my DSLR set to bulb mode with a timer remote set at an offset in order to capture timelapses of the galaxy rotating overhead at night, typically out in the middle of nowhere, miles away from the interstate in state park territory. Phones can't do that yet, so I get stoned and stare literally out into space at the structures that surround us all right now.
It hits different seeing it for yourself, out there away from everyone.
Also, just a follow-up about the beekeeping thing. Honey, straight from the beehive is called Bees-legs, honey. My first year i got 4 _LITERS_ of honey... of which i then turned half into mead. Alcohol. I became a beekeeper and ended up with alcohol. The bees also pollinated my garden and set me up with mad tomatoes and squash, yo.
Also, bees are chill as fuck unless you're stupid around them.... and you're not stupid, are you?
I feel like you are the chillest menace to society. I don’t know why exactly but you are.

I have severe adhd so my hobby is whatever my mind has latched onto that month. Right now it’s metal art! My favorite food changes every few weeks, as does my taste in music, video games, and books. I go in a gigantic circle, and will get obsessed with things I was obsessed with in the past. That usually takes a few years tho… 😅
"Just go to the store and get that honey" spoken like that honey is bottled from a magical honey river, and not just someone else's bees 😂
magical honey river made me laugh. I was thinking the same thing. Besides, bees are important.
Not to mention American honey in the stores is mostly just caramel and not real honey, it's so nasty.
Yeah, just like farmers. Why you gotta kill a poor innocent cow? You should just go to a store and buy your meat like everyone else.
In his defense, I think he’s saying in the sense of “leave it to the professionals to keep the bees, don’t do it as a hobby”
-dvd/bluray collection wasn't mentioned
-writing video essays on movies I recently watched wasn't mentioned
These count as hobbies because I don't make money off of them 👍
14:12 Cool thing about this: bees know you take there honey. And so they make more, the bees are okay with this because they produce more honey than they can eat in the wild. So they limit themselves, and they know that you help the so the bees are okay with it.

My idiot of a friend once tried sanding a little 1 inch by 1 inch cube ona belt sander. His hand slipped and the block shot off and hit him in the balls. In the end he ended up with 1 less palm, 1 less nut and an infinite amount of dignity gone
Hmm, sounds like a blockhead.
... uh... what the hell. How does that even happen? How heavy was that cube??

YES! His entire grievance with fibre art doesn’t apply to me because NEVER in my life will I knit a gift for someone else 🤣 that’s like 40-80 hours of work gtfouttahere
Crochet socks are amazing, though. I use wool and make them a bit too big for the feet and they're so cozy in winter.
I make scarves, shawls, fingerless mittens, and socks both for myself and for any family member who requests one for a gift giving holiday.
Crochet gifts are the only gifts that tend to survive more than a year or two. The store bought gifts tend to get broken or tossed pretty easily.
I have two crocheted beanies from an old roommate and treasure them dearly
Lmao, im 14 in 9th grade, and last year in 8th grade, my middle school principal asked me to make art for the school, and currently, 5 of my paintings are hung in that school.

I was a wedding videographer back in the day. I would say the gap between professional and amateur photographers was astounding
That's the thing I always think about when people bring up the whole "all you doing is taking a picture buhh just use a phone". I have to silently remind myself that practically all of advertising revolves around these really resourceful and smart people who know how to work the programs properly and take these beautiful shots but no it's just pictures

16:33 model train sets are sick and I will die on that hill. I've never personally built one and I probably never will since that requires space, time, and lots of money. But goddammit, I love looking at them.
there was a place in my city called Udisco that had a massive model train set upstairs, and I always loved going to go see it as a kid. Sadly the old guy that owned it retired and the kids ran it into the ground and it closed a few years ago.
Model trains are dope asf though
Why not try building a small one? N scale, which is small, on a 3 foot by 3 foot table from lets say Ikea; look up some youtube vids on creating budget scenery and just run with it.

To answer your question... yes both smoking and masturbarion are both hobbies. Anything you do in your free time regularly, that takes up a decent amount of time out of your day, that is done solely for pleasure or self satisfaction is a hobby.
I feel as though a hobby is something where the time allocated is as a separate chunk of your day - smoking is done intermittently within other activities. As for wanking, I think that, 'decent', from your definition is the key word: if you really are allocating that much time, sure, it counts, but I suspect that most don't.
Maybe the thinking is that those two things are potentially highly addictive? But then again, so is gaming and probs a few other "legit" hobbies
@billyfox6368 Smoking is done intermittently but most people who do smoke have at least a few per day, and spend around 5-10 minutes doing it per session, Id say that adds up enough time to qualify as a hobby, you could even say eating is a hobby to some extent, if its done solely for the enjoyment of flavors instead of a desire to fill up it could be considered a hobby, just eating junk food. For me a decent amount of time is anywhere from 30 minutes+ per day you do the hobby.
@@billyfox6368 if anyone spends a "decent" amount of time jerking off they need to be put into a psych ward
Smoking, yes, but masturbation is actually great for the health;when it's done safely with clean hands or a proper toy. Stuffing a Christmas tree up your ass or whatever some of these dudes be doing is not safe but the occasional wank or flick of the bean is great it's when people start being constantly on their couch watching porn and masturbating instead of actually doing their work and taking care of themselves when it becomes a problem. Anything can become an addiction and anything when it becomes an addiction or an obsession is bad.

I think the beauty of hobbies is the simplicity and the slow down from the craziness
11:40- as someone that crochets most people that crochet piss me off too. after years of bullying people for having old people hobbies they saw a new trend on tiktok and learned a few simple things then two months later theyre selling their work at markets with thousands of followers. i did not go thru years of bullying bc i liked to crochet just to have the SAME EXACT PEOPLE who bullied me MAKE MONEY FROM IT! and its always either stuffies or granny squares and those are like two of the easiest things to make, especially if you have a tutorial- and most of the time you can tell they used tuts bc the stuff they sell can be easily found on youtube (frogs, whales, chickens, granny square bucket hat/bag, etc). like i wouldnt mind if i saw someone try somethhing genuinely creative but you can tell its 100% for the trend/money
oh my god same. I may be "alt" but I was in the trenches in middle school when knitting and crochet was still a bully-able offense, I have no problem with people coming around to it even if they bullied me personally but it was very jarring! Also those plushie kits with the thick yarn piss me off I cannot tell you why i just have a violent reaction.

You could sell the items you make and make a little business out of it!" And i have to pretend to not be annoyed/mad/upset about it. I do these things FOR FUN!!

No offense intended but what exactly is fanfiction anymore? It’s so full of glorified amateur sexual fantasy novels that I’m not sure which people mean at this point. Assuming it’s just what-if stories for your favorite characters in entertainment fair enough and super cool but man… Some people.
@@Zanemob I get where you're coming from, and you're mostly right, except I don't do anything sexual in my fanfics. That's never been my thing, I also don't know why people enjoy doing that. All my stories are PG-13 like for example, what if Naruto was raised in iron country and was a Ronin instead of a shinobi.
@@Zanemob fanfiction is just people writing fiction about media theyre fans of. thats literally the entire thing. quite a bit of fanfiction IS sexual, yes, but it doesnt have to be. it could be anything from “what if these two characters kissed or more” to “what if these characters were actually living in a completely different setting (e.g. fantasy characters in a modern setting)” to “what if the story was the exact same but this happened at the end instead”. this is oversimplified but thats basically what fanfiction is

My dad's hobby is woodworking (and yelling at me for not teading his mind). We installed molding all over our house (chair, shadow boxes, and coffered ceilings) one year when i was 13... Terrible memories but excellent skill 🥲

Me drinking while I paint D&D minis, using expensive paint, fucking it up, since I'm drunk, then repainting it the next time I start drinking since I feel confident again, rinse and repeat until it's too many layers of paint losing the details of the figure. Buy the same 40$ mini again and wasting all the paint again 😭
Yeah, I gave up on hobbies years ago. Spend a bunch of money on paint or fabric or wood or whatever, lose time/interest/run out of money/fuck it up, throw everything away 4 years later when you get tired of looking at your failure every day. Now I just stay up too late on the Internet and drink too much in order to get to sleep. Cheers!
Love your videos Tugg. Never thought a man ranting/yelling at me would be so fun and relaxing. But when your videos drop i get all tingly inside.!
My dad is a train guy. I love to garden (my profession and my hobby). A few years ago, I installed a garden in his backyard with plants, rocks, and trained small shrubs for him to build his outdoor layout. He's a retired veteran, and his train set is where all the neighborhood men gather to crack a beer. Does he literally have 2 bedrooms and a large shed stacked to the gills with trains which he used to joke was our college money when we were younger? Yes. But it makes him happy. Plus, there's nothing that attracts more neighbors to come hang out than a front yard train set. Folks used to pull up lawn chairs and sit for a couple hours. I loved it as a kid.
6:45 hey, I can actually answer this one. The reason why you would want to stick to a DSLR or a mirrorless over something like a point-and-shoot digital or even a smartphone is entirely based on things like your sensor size. The image sensor used in a phone camera is incredibly small and can only capture so much detail but a high quality DSLR sensor is several magnitudes larger and can take insanely detailed photos from things super small to super large.
The other big thing of course is lenses. Some lenses are several thousand to tens of thousands of dollars and they are 100% justified at that price point for what they're used for.

Oh those are sooooooo relaxing and cute, and not as intense as the huge sets of entire places and stuff! I have a couple of those, and they’re beautiful 😍
I’ve heard of a person who for their wedding, all of the centerpieces on tables were Lego flowers they constructed and I was like, that is so f!ckin cool!! 😮
@@susanschubert1222 That sounds awesome!
9:25 He uh... really put the slamming in slam poetry...
She stroke my "ego" till I "come" to my senses

I get what you’re saying, but making the music and hearing it back makes my brain give me the dopamine i so desperately crave.
As a guitarist/music hobbyist in general, hard agree. One day I called in sick from work to compose a track because I knew I'd forget the melody by the time I got through with my shift and back home. Totally worth it; I still listen to it and occasionally show folks because, honestly Imma keep it 💯, some of this stuff I just write for myself in a way that I don't describe as selfish, since I get joy out of sharing it too!
You didn't even cover my personal favorite! Panhandling!🤣
As a dancer, there needs to be a segment for dance.
I’m a violinist but like there are some parts in songs that were specifically written in a way so musicians would get laid. Like if I’m just playing the Tchaikovsky violin concerto and I’m at that passage where it’s all on the g string how else am I supposed to musically play it since historically it was meant to sound attractive. But those local musicians who can’t read sheet music and teach themselves all this stuff piss me off. They think they are so good cause they found stuff online.
The second I saw the yarn in the thumbnail and looked down I my crochet I knew I had to watch 😂
I crochet, and I made a scarf for someone this year...he wore it constantly during the winter, so either he liked it, or just wanted to please me. Both of those outcomes are awesome.
As an artist AND a musician I fully support everything you said about artists and musicians 😆 They are insufferable.
"Litany in which certain things are crossed out" is by far one of Siken's best works, finding out tugg knows of his poems is like finding out he's a fan of Alex G
I'm watching this while on the bus to a marching band comp
Enjoy!

Nerd!! Jk lol enjoy your time there
9:37 "I feel like in order to be good at art, the entirety of your life, you have to think you're bad at art"
That is some reeeeal shit
✨️Furries✨️
Id love to hear your (original) insults Sir Tug
same, I said I know my hobby sucks bc it's way too expensive lmao
As a person that worships LEGO, I am very proud you didn't talk shit about me and my people.
My grandma crocheted dolls of me and my siblings and gave it to us for Christmas:)
0:14 I miss that flavor of Ruffles
It was back at Kroger a couple weeks ago. I bought 6 bags before they went missing again
I really liked the scratch ticket flavored ruffles 😢
Where I live they have never left the shelves.
All dressed was the fuckin tits, it’s so damn good
You can still get them through Canadian websites. Big in Canada.
My hobby is needlepoint but I like to make things like “the littlest dumpster fire” and “please don’t do cocaine in the bathroom”
I’m writing my college essay. Hobbies are but a dream for the next 5 years
As an artists, im so glad you said that about art. It pains me to go to local exhibits because i see something goddamn hobby lobby would sell and people act like its profound
Watching this as I work on my semester final for art, a self portrait, but I also swore to insert a dinosaur into every project for the year. So I’m covered in itty bitty Dino’s and holding a toad sized Spinosaurus to my face, the people who don’t care about making deep art are chilling and tugging along
Tugg, stop avoiding the question. What are your thoughts on the current economic crisis in Sri Lanka, and what do you think we can do to fix it?
Wait... I need this
The first few seconds of the video had me excited to watch immediately
“Hobbies. The things adults attempt to have before ultimately resulting to alcoholism.”
Motorcycles, planes, cars, skydiving, caving, rock climbing, extreme ironing, rc, reptile, and fish keeping, hobby farming
extreme ironing 🤣🤣🤣the next sport to be added to the Olympics
"She stroke my ego 'til I come to my senses."
That poem is definitely named Post Clarity.
