@@lautaroescarlon7501 he said in that video that he would post them on his Patreon, that they won't disappear. I think it would be nice to have them archived in Nebula as well. For folks that can only afford one subscription (such as myself), it would be handy as each option has pros that the other doesn't have and vice versa. But that's just my opinion as an avid little joel enjoyer currently in college. From his perspective, tho, it may not make much sense for financial and/or other reasons, and that's ok :)
Lack of any real interest in the subject beyond putting them into a stereotypical box that can be dismissed and scolded is kinda the core identity of Dr. Phil
Behind the Bastards did an incredible episode on "Dr." Phil. It's titled "Dr. Phil Is Even Worse Than You Think And You Probably Think He Sucks." They coin the term "he should be fed through a human shredder live on his own show" or something to that effect. Very funny. Very bastard.
It’s the same for Nancy Grace or “cringe culture” or Maury or etc…. Presenting troubled or weird people to an audience to be torn down, to make viewers feel better because at least they aren’t the “bad” person being mocked on stage. It’s a whole genre of absolutely toxic television that pretends to be educational.
@@maxwellbowman4084 A good amount of tv shows are like that lol. Extreme cheapskates, my 600 pound life, strange addictions. There are a lot of people who go "thank god I'm not like them" and it's a bit off-putting how little compassion people have sometimes. At the end of the day the only one who can save you is yourself, but the lack of empathy is concerning to me.
Gee I wonder why, couldn't be the low pay for long hours, no vacation, and the shitty treatment of workers. Must be the laziness of the new generation.
Back in the day, people were worked over 12 hours in a factory for scraps while being killed a maimed by machinery and poisoned by toxins. These lazy zoomers don't know how good they got it flipping burgers for minimum wage. (Sarcasm)
One of my bestest friends dropped out of college three months in to live in his families basement and spend most of the day playing video games and smoking weed. It turned out he had crippling anxiety and couldn’t handle being that far away from his family. I later found out his dad had really severe mental illness and was constantly going in and out of the hospital as well as rehab. It could have been so easy for people to judge him but he got help and support and now he’s back in school and doing a lot better. It’s so sad how so so many people could be thriving so much more if people were even just a little more willing to put aside their judgments and try to meet people where they’re at.
I think a lot of people underestimate anxiety until they see/hear of someone like your friend. It can really affect ability to function. I’m glad he got help
@@idontwantahandlethough lmao first I thought "that's an unnecessarily mean comment" then I saw the name of the guy you replied and thought "Aww, what a nice comment :)"
He is literally an influencer. He offers no professional advise, wisdom, or services, and makes money off of people liking his personality. The textbook definition of an influencer
@@therabbithat I mean, he's already making content exploiting strangers via pranks. He gets a taste of some sweet, sweet content profit... He did say he would do literally anything to succeed
The wildest part of this is if Aaron was talking about being an entrepreneur in any other metric, Phil would be 100% in support. He just doesn't like new things
It's peak Boomerism. He's more comfortable with the idea of a person aspiring to be a strictly-mediocre cog at the Business Factory (because that's safe and familiar) than he is with the idea of a person being potentially above-average at something that seems new-fangled, frivolous, and weird. I'm reminded of when Dr. Phil advised an aspiring furry artist to only do art as a fun lil' side hobby, despite many good furry artists and fursuit makers making absolute bank. Mind you, I am a huge fan of having a safety net and a backup plan (including having a college degree or the equivalent and some basic job skills). But, I think a person can be practical or pragmatic without giving up on their dreams and aspirations, and I think it's "cringe" when old people try to advise the younger generation about a cultural, political, and technological landscape that the youths actually tend to understand better!
@@dinosaysrawr good lord, has he ever seen commission prices on furry art??? Like I can't draw fursonas for shit, I do cartoony doodles as a hobby, but I've still gotten decent cash and extremely grateful customers on the rare few times I've been approached for it. Furries are generous as hell
"let's say you had 10,000 daily views - which you don't - but let's say you did" the fact that he didn't even need to say that, but he went for the low blow anyway, and then FOLLOWED UP with a "i made a tiktok that got millions of views! you can't do that!" It's so weird seeing people actually having this even on the TV in their houses still. He's a dinosaur.
I actually find it absolutely hilarious the idea that Dr Phil would switch the episode subject about halfway through, where he's dunking on this kid for half the episode and trying to explain how he'll never succeed, and then suddenly Dr Phil shifts focus and he's trying to show everyone how Dr PHIL will on the other hand, definitely succeed and just begins shamelessly promoting his own starry-eyed pursuit of becoming a TikTok star
There are lots of older episodes in which teens hope to be recognized and rich, and doctor phil used to tell them that they were delusional, that their pursuit was hurting others. But now that he has the exact same aspiration, his message and approach is a weird mix of dunking on their failures and comparing his success to them.
It's the paradox of all the "pull yourself up by your bootstraps" rhetoric. They say it's all about working as hard as you can and succeeding on your own strength alone... but only if you do it in this one particular way that we approve of. This kid says he's willing to work hard and do anything to achieve his dream, but it's not okay because he's working hard in a way Dr. Phil doesn't like, so he berates him for it. It's not about hard work, it's about maintaining the status quo.
the phrase "pull yourself up by your bootstraps" was originally used specifically because of its absurdity. You have to basically ignore the entirity of human innovation and culture to believe its useful advice.
the thing that immediately stood out to me was when he said "as long as he goes to college and makes a social media career without exploiting people"--- HUH??? why did he add the clause without exploiting people as if that isn't exactly what Dr. Phils entire career is built off of? It was genuinely so weird it throws me off so much lol
I'm pretty sure he thought that she proved his point that his mom was babying her son, so his moving on was like "checkmate, anyway here's a TikTok I was involved in."
Genuinely a badass moment from the mom. The best possible response to a question as gross and disrespectful as "why do you wanna care for your kid when I think he's stupid and useless?"
Phil could've been like "getting a simple job will allow you to buy better camera equipment, props, software, lights, filming locations etc so you can make better videos" or "at college you can study media and marketing to help you gain skills and networking opportunities that will help you do what you want to do at a professional level" You know, fairly standard advice.
I used to watch this show (yeah cringe) years ago and if there's one thing that really stuck with me, it's the fact that Phil mentioned many times how when his sons turned 18, he would throw them out and cut them off, because it was time for them to fend for themselves. I don't know if any of that was true, but I always thought it said a lot about him as a person that he kept boasting about supposedly having done this.
that's kinda cruel. i moved out quickly myself but my mother and I stay in contact and we support each other. why would you abandon your kids when they need you in their first steps of adult life?
Standard American hyper-individualism. Thousands of years of human history and hundreds of other cultures that emphasize family and building generational wealth and Americans are like "Nah, fuck all that, pull yourself up by your bootstraps!"
"Dr." Phil probably did all this just to show off his cringe Tiktok video. Such a sad person who doesn't even seem like he gives a damn about genuinely helping people, it's all scolding.
i never understood his format of a show. he's just publicly shaming everyone who is different than him. and the parents also just let their kids get made fun of by an old man. i would never take that disrespect, especially against my own child.
An old man who most likely agrees with them and takes "their side" in these situations? I can see a lot of parents allowing Phil to patronize their kids.
i'm so thankful my parents wanted and could support me throughout my twenties when i was super depressed and unsure where to go in life. i did get a normal job and didn't follow my dream, though.
I had a major, severe depressive episode in my early 20's and an ovarian cyst that burst at the same time. My parents asked why I was wasting my life. So I dropped out of medschool and now I live 1500km away. I'm happier than I've ever been! Moral of the story: support the people you love if you want them to succeed and love you back.
@@caseyw.6550 the joke was "You're going to need a doctor." That Phil, after being told hes lost his job, made a pun given his professional name of Dr. Phil. The joke was 100% not on Phil at all and him pretending that it was is sad
@@pigpotty Imagine being so self-absorbed that believing being PART of a joke makes you the butt of the joke. Not to mention that practical jokes are an unbelievably popular form of entertainment and have always been popular. So Dr. Phil is basically saying, exploiting the sad, broken, and mentally ill on TV is awesome entertainment, making somebody feel sorry for a blind person is terrible and doesn't count as entertainment.
I haven't been to therapy, but I think I can add a similar, likely, what-if scenario: "My parents used to beat me every day, after school..." "Well... maybe you did something to make them do that to you."
arent you that guy that stalks the comments of every hasan video just repeating "why cant we just condemn hamas and forgive small bean israel" and such?
Phil's problem with the kid's mom supporting him while he's in college is the fact that it means he doesn't have to do Labor while he's there. Phil conceptualizes the human male as a Labor machine. If a human male isn't doing labor Phil finds valuable (Labor), this separation from its true purpose has rendered it broken, and it can only be fixed by making it do Labor.
Nevermind the labor of studying, attending classes, taking notes, working on projects, writing essays, etc, etc, ETC... like getting a degree just takes time, but no frikken effort?!?!?!
@@suzbone And then there's the labor of making videos that entertain hundreds of people. But it's "just" on the internet, and "only" hundreds of people, and argle bargle bargle.
I didn't have a job in college and only worked during the summer. I don't know how college students balance working and college. I barely made it through all my courses because college was really stressful. With a job I probably would have failed most of my stuff. I feel so bad for people who have to work while studying.
The ironic thing about Dr. Phil's pretend therapy show is that with every new clip I see of him it unintentionally reveals more and more about his own profound insecurities as a person.
That Dr. Phil tik tok is completely unhinged. The fact that he says he’s the butt of the joke alone is deranged. There was no joke. It was just two men who do not understand comedy bumbling their way through, what I can only think to call a pseudo-skit.
i find it interesting how Dr. Phil is clearly a conservative show, and how conservatism usually touts the “American Dream” as an amazing and real thing. However, when the youtuber dude wants to actually pursue this dream, to the point where it’s quotes that he will “Do absolutely anything to make his dream come true.” However, Dr. Phil shits on this dream and just tells him to get a job. Proof the american dream isn’t real when even a conservative ass show doesn’t believe it
watching a room full of adults applaud for the on-stage showing of a violently mediocre tiktok makes me feel emotions i cannot even begin to comprehend
I find myself relating to Erin here, I also wanted to avoid getting a "real job" and focus on my art when I was his age. I think these kind of feeling come from having a bad school experience and a bad experience with "entry-level" jobs. It took a while for me to find a job I actually liked, a job that allowed me plenty of time to work on my art on the side. Even though I have a degree, I'm not sure if it's helped me much at all, and I'll always consider my art my "real job", even if I'm not making any money on it. I don't really know what the right advice is in this situation.
i think the right advice is to not focus your entire existence around being a fungible worker unit, instead find a way to live that is fullfilling. Also workers need something...anything that will increase the value of their labour. and in your small way of wanting to dedicate time to personal creations, you are doing that very thing.
"Why do you have to support him if he's in college?" Because US colleges' financial aid policies are based on the assumption that parents are paying, so if he does go to college he's on the hook for the full amount you would have been able to pay, if not more. And that's if you're still helping him fill out the paperwork-- if you keep that info from him, he'll have to take out enough loans for the full amount. That's why. I agree that to an extent hard work builds character, but 5-6 figures of unnecessary debt does not. (Edit: if your response to this is to say that the system is too messed up and kids should be going to trade school instead or whatever, I think that's fair! However, in this particular case both the parents and Dr. Phil treat the idea of college as an unquestioned good, and I am responding to their point of view specifically.)
Hes too old to realize how broken the education system is. I wouldn't be surprised if his parents sent him to school for free and they paid for it while also having blue collar jobs. That's what happens when you are 75 years old or whatever. You apply your outdated ideas to modern times, which was always bad, and is becoming increasingly catastrophic as the world moves faster and faster
Here in the UK the amount of financial assistance the government will give you for living expenses while at university is literally based off your parents income. That being that if your parents earn below a certain amount you get more money and above a certain amount you get less. The assumption is that if your parents have the means to do so, they should support you financially or have planned some form of savings for you to utilise while studying. Doctor Phil is literally worse than a Tory, conservative government in his attitude on the matter which is saying something!
It’s funny how much denial he’s in that his tic tok did so well specially because of a generation who finds him ironically funny and know about him through UA-camrs and not his show
He is the influencer (his actual job title) equivalent of Old Man Yells at Clouds. We find his yelling at clouds funny, not what he says to the clouds, and we certainly don't respect what he has to say to the clouds
i love how he even tried to break down his profound comedy in the tiktok. yes im sure it got that many views because of your exceptional comedy writing skills..
Yeah, and if Phil's advocating that the parents don't support their kid while in college, why is there even a conversation about whether he stays in school or pursues a content creator career? Why would they have any say in his choice if they dropped him regardless?
So the guy wanted to be an Influencer and Dr. Phil's reaction is basically: 'I am better at that than you are.' You kind of have to appreciate the purity of that egomaniacal gesture.
This is a theme with a lot of Dr. Phils videos. A person is only considered worthy of anything, when he does paid labor. A person's worth is based on the amount of money the person makes. Those are his believes.
As cringe as he was, I stuck through because I was expecting the bit to have some worthwhile punchline since it was supposedly done by a major tiktok creator. It didn't, it was the worst joke I've ever heard.
@@virtheon mmm I think it’s a solid joke/gag (hear me out), but not delivered right and unoriginal and it needed at least one joke more that would’ve been more original, more creative and and would’ve been the real punchline, however “Dr” Phil doesn’t even know where the joke is nor how to deliver it. Nor does he realize the joke that Big Joel is pointing out through Little Joel’s humble but transcendent UA-cam channel, like what was the point of sharing this clip at all?
Phil (not calling him a doctor here) is a conservative and I believe his reaction to the mom supporting him in college is some sort of belief that one should earn their own way into college and work to pay only for themselves while in college and... Basically Phil is out of touch with how insanely expensive things have gotten.
me: gets woken up by something loud lays in bed for another 40 minutes finally gets up grumpily unable to get back to sleep on my saturday morning wonders if Little Joel has made a video just for me at this specific time checks subscription feed thank you joel, I knew you loved me
@@jimmybean420 It's a Koyama painting, titled "fox.", yes, in all lowercase and with a period at the end, made in 1981. I know because that's my profile pic on Instagram.
The actual weird stuff to me is that Phil is just in entertainment business as well. I mean, that's all he does here. That's not educational or proper psychotherapy or councelling. It's just having people talk stuff in a room and then telling them that they are wrong and somehow people laugh at them.
One very funny thing about this is that Phil specifically criticizes this guy's TikTocs for making other people the butt of the joke with his pranks, but Phil's whole schtick is making a spectacle out of "weird" people where the audience is encouraged to laugh along with him as he gives his guest a "wake up call". Once you peel away the fantasy of "Doctor" Phil there's nothing there but rank hypocrisy.
It's crazy how similar my parents made me feel about my own dreams - they crushed them and made them feel impossible while trying to make me "grounded and reasonable"
Without knowing anything about your situation I will just say it’s tough for a parent to know the statistics of how many people are successful in something like this and how many people aren’t, and not want to prevent you from failing. Like it’s easy when you’re young to feel like you’re special enough to be the one that succeeds. But reality is there are many more that don’t. So it’s reasonable to make sure as an older person that the young person at least has a backup.
Same. It’s not because I think I’m “above it” I just don’t like the idea of being in a dirty, possibly toxic work environment that would constantly drain me. I’d be fine with working in like a library or museum.
"I'm unsure if pretending to be Mr Magoo is offensive to the blind, but I *can see* how it might be tasteless" I see what you did there Joel you can't hide from us
Dr Phil is just the worst. As a kid I just found him funny like “hey moustache guy talking w a silly southern accent.” But then once you even critically think about him for a second. This man profits off of people’s misery and puts it on display for millions every single week! Spews conservative talking points that he packages as psychiatry, and is incredibly negligent in how his show works with outside “rehab” facilities. Yet he’s a complete favourite of so many media stars and TV shows that he’s able to maintain his fame as one of Oprah’s best projects. Even more amplified now since Dr Oz is disgraced. It’s insane to me.
I feel the same way about people not physically attacking Donald Trump. Dr. McGraw is merely better at hiding his toxic mentality and the way he treats others; or rather, he thinks he's a pretty good actor when it comes to hiding his bad behavior. Some of us can see him clearly though.
I am a UA-cam failure 😞. But luckily I had an epiphany: I don't like making animations because I like putting them on UA-cam, I just like making animations. So I'll just find myself an underpaid career in animation and become a life failure instead of a UA-cam failure 😌
Oh man, finally with the fifth video being uploaded, the whole Joel's Dr. Phil saga is available for free. I do have Nebula, but I'm happy that now everyone can experience the whole anthology.
Dr. Phil telling someone to make money without exploiting other people is pretty rich, considering he profits off the public humiliation of each of his "guests".
ok but does anyone else remember seeing Dr Phil gleefully watch his team involuntarily admit someone because those episodes were fucked up. like they’d be forcing some 13 year old girl into a van against her will and he would look so proud of himself
Man, there are several relatively common "neurological conditions" that make a person completely unsuited for being a cog in the post-industrial machine. One of the most common is the obsoletely titled, and absurdly misunderstood condition of "ADHD," which can be simply described as a severe deficiency of 3 critical neurotransmitters in the brain. It's easy to understand the horrible life people have with this condition in modern society when understanding what these neurotransmitters actually do, how critical they are to basic brain functions that allow "normal" people to tolerate modern life (taken for granted by most) and the cascade of ill effects that are exacerbated by the expectations non-consensually thrust upon the middle and working classes by our current system. Other relatively common issues which can be related or independently cause similar problems include various forms of epilepsy. In some cases of these conditions, sitting in a classroom and trying to learn through processing auditory language triggers nightmarish focal seizures that can include feelings that range from anxiety to terror, visual, auditory, sensory, etc. hallucinations, receptive aphasia (meaning the brain suddenly can't process auditory language and the person only hears gibberish instead) memory distortions and so on. Most of these experiences are almost impossible for sufferer's to describe and because of the society-wide mental atrophy and the cycles of abuse in virtually every area of society, sufferers learn early to keep these things to themselves. Lastly, since no human being is evolved to live in the shackles of post-industrial society and everyone has to be beaten into submission to be willing to give up their autonomy, their own interests and passions and to sacrifice their entire lives to work a meaningless job for little reward and only with the hope that they will live long enough to retire so that they can one day begin their life before they grow too old to do anything with it, when a person who has submitted is faced with a person who refuses to submit, it is easy to understand the psychology behind why those people emulate the people who beat them into submission and continue the cycle of abuse. As far as I can tell, no human being desires to live their childhood stuck in a classroom for the sake of spending their adulthood imprisoned in a hellish job, always with some form of authority hanging over them, watching them, holding things over them and belittling them at every turn. Anyone who refuses to be understanding of a person with the guts to stand up against it, who talks trash to the person needs to look to their own memory of all the people who treated them the same way and ask themselves if they really want to retroactively justify the mistreatment and abuse that they suffered in their own lives.
I didn't realise big joel was an actual channel, i thought it was just a joke like medium joel. I've watched so many little joel videos. How did i miss this...
A lot of us have Dr.Phil moments where we sincerely see ourselves as helping others or informing someone of their wrong doing but really we’re using it as an opportunity to see ourselves as doing good & put others down. any help we give is incidental to that goal and its all to easy to convince ourselves otherwise. Helping people in a way that’s actually patient and kind and rooted in a desire to understand without centering ourselves in the interaction is super hard. I’m sure Dr.Phil truly sees himself as just giving it to them straight in a way they need to hear without asking himself if it could be done in a way that’s gentler.
Being gentler and kinder wouldn't make for as good television for him. Really, in a major way that's what it comes down to; the image of being a stern guiding figure 'telling it like it is' in a relatively dramatic fashion where people can feel he put someone in their place etc.
I WISH I'd had somebody to tell me to do something creative with my life even if it was risky, instead of wasting four years and £25k on the super safe alternative of getting a degree that never got me even one job.
Little Joel, super unrelated, but could you make a video roasting the “manifestation movement”? I just got reminded of them recently and, albeit I’m irked, I wanna know your take on it lmao Thank u and bless your omnipotence
lmaooo god I was really into crystals, meditation, astrology etc a while back. Then I found the manifestation people and said you know what? I'm done. 😭💀 I cannot STAND THEM !! I still like my pretty rocks and silly star facts tho
One of the most annoying things about Dr Phil is him constantly talking about how parents should stop supporting their kids when they turn 18 but he bought his sons their own houses....
The public who watches Dr Phil is absolutely chomping at the bit to understand how UA-cam monetization works. The infinite amount of middle-age soccer moms can not comprehend how money could possibly come from “nothing”. My own parents ask me how money is made on UA-cam every few weeks either because they forget or because they simply cannot comprehend the fact that it’s true one can get paid for simply making little cartoons or filming marbles running down a track. The wider public does not understand how UA-cam works, much less do they believe in it, and Dr Phil exploits this hole of knowledge in society to make it seem like the issue at hand is more dire or important than it actually is
My friends who didn't have their family's support in college and didn't get scholarships, worked full-time jobs, and one even missed some classes to work. It was rough.
i have ADHD, i'm 20, i don't like work at least in the traditional sense. i've had a few jobs in the past, but each has driven me down a spiral of anxiety, depression, and burnout. so when you say being able to get a job is someone's one chance at happiness (or their most secure chance at happiness) i'll have to respectfully disagree at least from my perspective personally. because being forced to work 40 hours a week for the next 40 years sounds dreadful, and in many potential jobs that presumption will turn out correct and i'll be spiraling again and again. and i know being unemployed the rest of my life isn't sustainable (unless i manage to get government aid for my disability, which i might but i haven't tried yet) but i'm happy, and trying to heal the best i can, and getting a job will be more likely than not the exact opposite of happiness.
So I'm only 19, I dropped out of highschool at 17 for really, really bad mental health. I've recovered and have thought about going back to school, not sure honestly. I feel like other jobs got so demonised when I was growing up "if you don't go to further education, you'll be nothing in life". I'm in a position where I can access some trade job apprenticeships and stuff like that, I don't know man, school just isn't for everyone. You don't have to go to college, that doesn't make you a failure it just makes you someone who doesn't want that for their life. I still feel like a failure because it's so ingrained in me, at the end of the day though money is money, pick something you have some resonance with and go at it. And pursue those dreams, but have some backups, I feel so much more at ease and secure now pursuing my artistic passions, now that I have work and some more work in the future as a nice safety net. I'm learning to sew clothes and stuff really cool right?
Remember the advice that Dr. Phil gave to the “Cash Me Outside” girl, and how she was throwing her life away acting out online. She is now a multi millionaire. JS. 😬
Like, do I think Erin's content is funny or enjoyable? No. But I also don't like trap music or 95% of TikTok content. Phil is literally saying "I think it's dumb so it's objectively dumb." Meanwhile his show is... well, I will let you fill in your own negative opinion lol
Because 'influencer' is a buzzword and the old people who watch his show want someone to parrot their feelings that it's dumb and pointless, even while thousands of people became millionaires basically just talking on Twitch and Tik Tok. Which is ironic considering they are the generation that made fun of their parents for calling rock and roll a fad
"Why do you have to support him?" Because he didn't ask to be born, so as a parent, it is incumbent on you to support him at least through childhood? We can quibble a little bit about where childhood ends but like...kids owe parents nothing, because they didn't decide to be born.
First Abigail Thorne's "Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Trans" and now I find that it's where medium Joel lives?? Nebula is looking more and more attractive.
Phil's TikTok sucked on comedic and production value. No joke and two videos spliced together to pretend they're in the same room without even matching the audio by removing the noise or copying it over to the cleaner track.
oh also, I'm in the process of uploading all the little joel videos to Nebula. So if you wanna watch them there, they'll be ad free and available in a few days!

Lack of any real interest in the subject beyond putting them into a stereotypical box that can be dismissed and scolded is kinda the core identity of Dr. Phil

They coin the term "he should be fed through a human shredder live on his own show" or something to that effect. Very funny. Very bastard.
i mean no wonder he got 2/10 on imdb

It’s the same for Nancy Grace or “cringe culture” or Maury or etc…. Presenting troubled or weird people to an audience to be torn down, to make viewers feel better because at least they aren’t the “bad” person being mocked on stage. It’s a whole genre of absolutely toxic television that pretends to be educational.

I seriously think that Dr. Phil is in the pocket of Big “No one wants to work these days.”
Gee I wonder why, couldn't be the low pay for long hours, no vacation, and the shitty treatment of workers. Must be the laziness of the new generation.
It's like all those freeloaders back in the day who just wanted to stand around and be on TV
and is anyone surprised
thats such a good way to put it, I couldn’t agree more
Back in the day, people were worked over 12 hours in a factory for scraps while being killed a maimed by machinery and poisoned by toxins. These lazy zoomers don't know how good they got it flipping burgers for minimum wage. (Sarcasm)
One of my bestest friends dropped out of college three months in to live in his families basement and spend most of the day playing video games and smoking weed. It turned out he had crippling anxiety and couldn’t handle being that far away from his family. I later found out his dad had really severe mental illness and was constantly going in and out of the hospital as well as rehab. It could have been so easy for people to judge him but he got help and support and now he’s back in school and doing a lot better. It’s so sad how so so many people could be thriving so much more if people were even just a little more willing to put aside their judgments and try to meet people where they’re at.

@@idontwantahandlethough lmao first I thought "that's an unnecessarily mean comment" then I saw the name of the guy you replied and thought "Aww, what a nice comment :)"
The irony of the TV "doctor" telling a young man to abandon his dreams and hey a real job seems to escape him.
He’s not even registered anymore as a clinical psychologist, so even more irony bleeding here
And not to exploit people 🤦🏻♀️
He is literally an influencer. He offers no professional advise, wisdom, or services, and makes money off of people liking his personality. The textbook definition of an influencer
@@skeetsmcgrew3282 yeah but the kid could never be enough of an unethical sadist to make money like a Dr. Phil or a Jeremy Kyle
@@therabbithat I mean, he's already making content exploiting strangers via pranks. He gets a taste of some sweet, sweet content profit... He did say he would do literally anything to succeed
The wildest part of this is if Aaron was talking about being an entrepreneur in any other metric, Phil would be 100% in support. He just doesn't like new things
Especially new things that might compete with his role on an established stage.
Eliminating the competition
It's peak Boomerism. He's more comfortable with the idea of a person aspiring to be a strictly-mediocre cog at the Business Factory (because that's safe and familiar) than he is with the idea of a person being potentially above-average at something that seems new-fangled, frivolous, and weird.
I'm reminded of when Dr. Phil advised an aspiring furry artist to only do art as a fun lil' side hobby, despite many good furry artists and fursuit makers making absolute bank.
Mind you, I am a huge fan of having a safety net and a backup plan (including having a college degree or the equivalent and some basic job skills). But, I think a person can be practical or pragmatic without giving up on their dreams and aspirations, and I think it's "cringe" when old people try to advise the younger generation about a cultural, political, and technological landscape that the youths actually tend to understand better!
@@dinosaysrawr good lord, has he ever seen commission prices on furry art??? Like I can't draw fursonas for shit, I do cartoony doodles as a hobby, but I've still gotten decent cash and extremely grateful customers on the rare few times I've been approached for it. Furries are generous as hell
@@darkshadowrule2952 , clearly, he has not! He also doesn't appear to know the going price for the average fursuit, either!
"let's say you had 10,000 daily views - which you don't - but let's say you did"
the fact that he didn't even need to say that, but he went for the low blow anyway, and then FOLLOWED UP with a "i made a tiktok that got millions of views! you can't do that!"
It's so weird seeing people actually having this even on the TV in their houses still. He's a dinosaur.
That's literally why dinosaur households love him.
People need a bastion of Jurassic comfort in a world leaving them behind like a busted old car
I actually find it absolutely hilarious the idea that Dr Phil would switch the episode subject about halfway through, where he's dunking on this kid for half the episode and trying to explain how he'll never succeed, and then suddenly Dr Phil shifts focus and he's trying to show everyone how Dr PHIL will on the other hand, definitely succeed and just begins shamelessly promoting his own starry-eyed pursuit of becoming a TikTok star
There are lots of older episodes in which teens hope to be recognized and rich, and doctor phil used to tell them that they were delusional, that their pursuit was hurting others. But now that he has the exact same aspiration, his message and approach is a weird mix of dunking on their failures and comparing his success to them.
Glad to see Little Joel colabing with big creators like Big Joel
Big Joel is so generous for taking on the little creators like Little Joel.
@@aaronpolichar7936 Actually, I heard there was beef between the two, I think little joel was talking shit about big joel? That's just what I heard
It's the paradox of all the "pull yourself up by your bootstraps" rhetoric. They say it's all about working as hard as you can and succeeding on your own strength alone... but only if you do it in this one particular way that we approve of. This kid says he's willing to work hard and do anything to achieve his dream, but it's not okay because he's working hard in a way Dr. Phil doesn't like, so he berates him for it. It's not about hard work, it's about maintaining the status quo.
exactly.
Phil’s solution to any given problem is to conform to society more. Or at least his idea of what society should look like.
the phrase "pull yourself up by your bootstraps" was originally used specifically because of its absurdity.
You have to basically ignore the entirity of human innovation and culture to believe its useful advice.
@Butt Socks what's the point of the saying then?
@@skachor wikitionary says it was meant to mean an impossible task originally.
the thing that immediately stood out to me was when he said "as long as he goes to college and makes a social media career without exploiting people"--- HUH??? why did he add the clause without exploiting people as if that isn't exactly what Dr. Phils entire career is built off of? It was genuinely so weird it throws me off so much lol
Because he doesn't want more competition on the exploting people endevours.
Yeah that part was absolutely wild.
Well, I think it's because the guy makes prank videos, but yeah.
fr!!
@@Furiac. regardless, Dr. Phil does the exact same thing.
I think hearing her say" that's my baby" and then him just moving on from that point is a lot more telling than anything else
That part was really cute. She's a nice mom.
I'm pretty sure he thought that she proved his point that his mom was babying her son, so his moving on was like "checkmate, anyway here's a TikTok I was involved in."
His parents were shit, so he can't wrap his head around the idea of a parent wanting to love and support their son or daughter.
Genuinely a badass moment from the mom. The best possible response to a question as gross and disrespectful as "why do you wanna care for your kid when I think he's stupid and useless?"
Phil could've been like "getting a simple job will allow you to buy better camera equipment, props, software, lights, filming locations etc so you can make better videos" or "at college you can study media and marketing to help you gain skills and networking opportunities that will help you do what you want to do at a professional level"
You know, fairly standard advice.
I used to watch this show (yeah cringe) years ago and if there's one thing that really stuck with me, it's the fact that Phil mentioned many times how when his sons turned 18, he would throw them out and cut them off, because it was time for them to fend for themselves. I don't know if any of that was true, but I always thought it said a lot about him as a person that he kept boasting about supposedly having done this.
my parents did this. they're awful people. it seems to be a common right wing thing
@@jowilson5581 mine too... My stepmom (and dad it's a long story...) hates trump 💀😭 the brain rot is absolutely bipartisan (in some cases)
Also, IIRC at least one of his kids works for him. So....
that's kinda cruel. i moved out quickly myself but my mother and I stay in contact and we support each other. why would you abandon your kids when they need you in their first steps of adult life?
Standard American hyper-individualism. Thousands of years of human history and hundreds of other cultures that emphasize family and building generational wealth and Americans are like "Nah, fuck all that, pull yourself up by your bootstraps!"
"Dr." Phil probably did all this just to show off his cringe Tiktok video. Such a sad person who doesn't even seem like he gives a damn about genuinely helping people, it's all scolding.
And then everyone clapped 😭😭😭😭💀
So uncomfortable.
i never understood his format of a show. he's just publicly shaming everyone who is different than him. and the parents also just let their kids get made fun of by an old man. i would never take that disrespect, especially against my own child.
Exactly. And for him to act like he didn't support his own kids in their early adulthood is beyond belief.
you ever see those old timey wooden things they'd lock someones head and arms in?
@@ince55ant ...oh no.
An old man who most likely agrees with them and takes "their side" in these situations? I can see a lot of parents allowing Phil to patronize their kids.
Well, they knew the deal when they got paid to be on his show. It's not like he came up to them in Walmart and started criticizing their parenting.
i'm so thankful my parents wanted and could support me throughout my twenties when i was super depressed and unsure where to go in life. i did get a normal job and didn't follow my dream, though.
And Dr. Phill absolutely did that for his kids. I have no doubt.
@@caseyw.6550 I really hope so, altho he did brag that he'd cut his kids off at 18.
@@caseyw.6550 Why would you think that? He's a prick who boasts about throwing his kids out of the house at 18 and cutting them off. He's a POS.
I had a major, severe depressive episode in my early 20's and an ovarian cyst that burst at the same time. My parents asked why I was wasting my life. So I dropped out of medschool and now I live 1500km away. I'm happier than I've ever been!
Moral of the story: support the people you love if you want them to succeed and love you back.
It's wild that dr phil described that tiktok video as the joke being on him. That was super cringe.
Was the joke just "haha I'm old"?
@@caseyw.6550 the joke was "You're going to need a doctor." That Phil, after being told hes lost his job, made a pun given his professional name of Dr. Phil. The joke was 100% not on Phil at all and him pretending that it was is sad
@@pigpotty Imagine being so self-absorbed that believing being PART of a joke makes you the butt of the joke. Not to mention that practical jokes are an unbelievably popular form of entertainment and have always been popular. So Dr. Phil is basically saying, exploiting the sad, broken, and mentally ill on TV is awesome entertainment, making somebody feel sorry for a blind person is terrible and doesn't count as entertainment.
Dr Phil is like every bad therapist I have had. You have problems? We'll have you tried.. not having them
fr and imagine getting a doctoral degree in the field to ignore first year psychology concepts 🤦🏻♀️
ha ha
I haven't been to therapy, but I think I can add a similar, likely, what-if scenario:
"My parents used to beat me every day, after school..."
"Well... maybe you did something to make them do that to you."
arent you that guy that stalks the comments of every hasan video just repeating "why cant we just condemn hamas and forgive small bean israel" and such?
@@the1truejoe178 Something switched in the turtle chad, all the comments i see from them now are super bitter and weird
Phil's problem with the kid's mom supporting him while he's in college is the fact that it means he doesn't have to do Labor while he's there. Phil conceptualizes the human male as a Labor machine. If a human male isn't doing labor Phil finds valuable (Labor), this separation from its true purpose has rendered it broken, and it can only be fixed by making it do Labor.
Nevermind the labor of studying, attending classes, taking notes, working on projects, writing essays, etc, etc, ETC... like getting a degree just takes time, but no frikken effort?!?!?!
@@suzbone And then there's the labor of making videos that entertain hundreds of people. But it's "just" on the internet, and "only" hundreds of people, and argle bargle bargle.
I can only wonder what role racism plays in Phil's expectations of that young man, too
@@suzbone Maybe that's why he brought up not exploiting people while he has a show that regularly exploits people 🤔
I didn't have a job in college and only worked during the summer. I don't know how college students balance working and college. I barely made it through all my courses because college was really stressful. With a job I probably would have failed most of my stuff. I feel so bad for people who have to work while studying.
The ironic thing about Dr. Phil's pretend therapy show is that with every new clip I see of him it unintentionally reveals more and more about his own profound insecurities as a person.
he's a huge creep like almost as bad as jordan peterson
That Dr. Phil tik tok is completely unhinged. The fact that he says he’s the butt of the joke alone is deranged. There was no joke. It was just two men who do not understand comedy bumbling their way through, what I can only think to call a pseudo-skit.
Okay but the mom's "he's my baby!" Was so heartwarming
Yes, she seems so sweet, I love her.
i find it interesting how Dr. Phil is clearly a conservative show, and how conservatism usually touts the “American Dream” as an amazing and real thing. However, when the youtuber dude wants to actually pursue this dream, to the point where it’s quotes that he will “Do absolutely anything to make his dream come true.” However, Dr. Phil shits on this dream and just tells him to get a job. Proof the american dream isn’t real when even a conservative ass show doesn’t believe it
I seriously struggle with both traditional work and school, I would've loved to see that being seriously discussed instead of shamed.
the laugh that left me when dr phil just decided to start showing off his tiktoks. oh my god.
Omg so painful 😂
what a genuinely psychotic thing to do lmao
The wall of tv screens with people clapping after he showed his ridiculous TikTok... Holy hell.
Phil showing his tiktok where he gets asked if he's a real doctor is pretty bold, considering he isn't actually licensed.
As I watch this I'm roleplaying as someone who bought Nebula.
watching a room full of adults applaud for the on-stage showing of a violently mediocre tiktok makes me feel emotions i cannot even begin to comprehend
I find myself relating to Erin here, I also wanted to avoid getting a "real job" and focus on my art when I was his age. I think these kind of feeling come from having a bad school experience and a bad experience with "entry-level" jobs. It took a while for me to find a job I actually liked, a job that allowed me plenty of time to work on my art on the side. Even though I have a degree, I'm not sure if it's helped me much at all, and I'll always consider my art my "real job", even if I'm not making any money on it. I don't really know what the right advice is in this situation.
i think the right advice is to not focus your entire existence around being a fungible worker unit, instead find a way to live that is fullfilling. Also workers need something...anything that will increase the value of their labour. and in your small way of wanting to dedicate time to personal creations, you are doing that very thing.
"Why do you have to support him if he's in college?" Because US colleges' financial aid policies are based on the assumption that parents are paying, so if he does go to college he's on the hook for the full amount you would have been able to pay, if not more. And that's if you're still helping him fill out the paperwork-- if you keep that info from him, he'll have to take out enough loans for the full amount. That's why. I agree that to an extent hard work builds character, but 5-6 figures of unnecessary debt does not.
(Edit: if your response to this is to say that the system is too messed up and kids should be going to trade school instead or whatever, I think that's fair! However, in this particular case both the parents and Dr. Phil treat the idea of college as an unquestioned good, and I am responding to their point of view specifically.)
Hes too old to realize how broken the education system is. I wouldn't be surprised if his parents sent him to school for free and they paid for it while also having blue collar jobs. That's what happens when you are 75 years old or whatever. You apply your outdated ideas to modern times, which was always bad, and is becoming increasingly catastrophic as the world moves faster and faster
Here in the UK the amount of financial assistance the government will give you for living expenses while at university is literally based off your parents income. That being that if your parents earn below a certain amount you get more money and above a certain amount you get less. The assumption is that if your parents have the means to do so, they should support you financially or have planned some form of savings for you to utilise while studying. Doctor Phil is literally worse than a Tory, conservative government in his attitude on the matter which is saying something!
It’s funny how much denial he’s in that his tic tok did so well specially because of a generation who finds him ironically funny and know about him through UA-camrs and not his show
He is the influencer (his actual job title) equivalent of Old Man Yells at Clouds. We find his yelling at clouds funny, not what he says to the clouds, and we certainly don't respect what he has to say to the clouds
i love how he even tried to break down his profound comedy in the tiktok. yes im sure it got that many views because of your exceptional comedy writing skills..
idk, I feel like you should support your children if they need it regardless of their other circumstances??
Yeah, and if Phil's advocating that the parents don't support their kid while in college, why is there even a conversation about whether he stays in school or pursues a content creator career? Why would they have any say in his choice if they dropped him regardless?
So the guy wanted to be an Influencer and Dr. Phil's reaction is basically: 'I am better at that than you are.' You kind of have to appreciate the purity of that egomaniacal gesture.
medium joel is real, he's just on Nebula
He talks to ghosts too
dr. phil's judgement and abuse show.
This is a theme with a lot of Dr. Phils videos. A person is only considered worthy of anything, when he does paid labor.
A person's worth is based on the amount of money the person makes. Those are his believes.
a big joel and little joel collab..... a wonderful time for us all
They're both merging into Medium Joel I think.
It's inspiring to see that they put their differences aside.
"without exploiting other people.."
Dr Phil, your entire TV show IS exploitation hiding behind a fancy suite. You are an undercover Jerry Springer.
I'm so sorry Joel but I absolutely had to fast forward past Phil's "comedy" bit
I wish I had 😟
As cringe as he was, I stuck through because I was expecting the bit to have some worthwhile punchline since it was supposedly done by a major tiktok creator. It didn't, it was the worst joke I've ever heard.
@@virtheon mmm I think it’s a solid joke/gag (hear me out), but not delivered right and unoriginal and it needed at least one joke more that would’ve been more original, more creative and and would’ve been the real punchline, however “Dr” Phil doesn’t even know where the joke is nor how to deliver it. Nor does he realize the joke that Big Joel is pointing out through Little Joel’s humble but transcendent UA-cam channel, like what was the point of sharing this clip at all?
Mom: I want my son to get his degree!
Dr. Phil: WHY???????????
I don't want to live in a world where Dr. Phil has a TikTok account
Phil (not calling him a doctor here) is a conservative and I believe his reaction to the mom supporting him in college is some sort of belief that one should earn their own way into college and work to pay only for themselves while in college and... Basically Phil is out of touch with how insanely expensive things have gotten.
me: gets woken up by something loud
lays in bed for another 40 minutes
finally gets up grumpily unable to get back to sleep on my saturday morning
wonders if Little Joel has made a video just for me at this specific time
checks subscription feed
thank you joel, I knew you loved me
@@jimmybean420 It's a Koyama painting, titled "fox.", yes, in all lowercase and with a period at the end, made in 1981. I know because that's my profile pic on Instagram.
The actual weird stuff to me is that Phil is just in entertainment business as well. I mean, that's all he does here. That's not educational or proper psychotherapy or councelling. It's just having people talk stuff in a room and then telling them that they are wrong and somehow people laugh at them.
LITTLE JOEL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
LITTLEEEE JOELLLL
Little Joel.
Medium
Little Joel releasing Medium Joel from his Nebula prison. Wait until Big Joel hears about this!
I just noticed you have two copies of the same girl+cat painting, and I'm absolutely here for it
Little Joel doesn't, but Big Joel does.
I feel like the one on the left is an amateur copy, perhaps painted by one of the various sized Joels?
Phil flexing his tiktok numbers as an established entertainer to a youtuber was not what I was expecting. The boomer behavior is out of control
One very funny thing about this is that Phil specifically criticizes this guy's TikTocs for making other people the butt of the joke with his pranks, but Phil's whole schtick is making a spectacle out of "weird" people where the audience is encouraged to laugh along with him as he gives his guest a "wake up call".
Once you peel away the fantasy of "Doctor" Phil there's nothing there but rank hypocrisy.
It's crazy how similar my parents made me feel about my own dreams - they crushed them and made them feel impossible while trying to make me "grounded and reasonable"
Without knowing anything about your situation I will just say it’s tough for a parent to know the statistics of how many people are successful in something like this and how many people aren’t, and not want to prevent you from failing. Like it’s easy when you’re young to feel like you’re special enough to be the one that succeeds. But reality is there are many more that don’t. So it’s reasonable to make sure as an older person that the young person at least has a backup.
@@joelman1989Having a backup and crushing dreams are not the same thing I would say.
i saw this on nebula but it wasn't relatable until you posted it Little Joel
I do actually feel terror at the idea of doing a 9-5 job but I think that might be my ADHD
Nah it's because you have a brain and can see how terrible the state of labor is in our dystopian hellscape.
Same. It’s not because I think I’m “above it” I just don’t like the idea of being in a dirty, possibly toxic work environment that would constantly drain me. I’d be fine with working in like a library or museum.
If these are Big Joel videos on the Little Joel channel... Does that mean we've finally got Medium Joel?
Yes. Now is the time to advocate for Joel XL. A channel dedicated to feature length movies and documentaries.
"I'm unsure if pretending to be Mr Magoo is offensive to the blind, but I *can see* how it might be tasteless" I see what you did there Joel you can't hide from us
“I *see* what you did there Joel you can’t hide from us” I see what you did there reissecupfilms you can’t hide from us
Dr Phil is just the worst. As a kid I just found him funny like “hey moustache guy talking w a silly southern accent.” But then once you even critically think about him for a second. This man profits off of people’s misery and puts it on display for millions every single week! Spews conservative talking points that he packages as psychiatry, and is incredibly negligent in how his show works with outside “rehab” facilities.
Yet he’s a complete favourite of so many media stars and TV shows that he’s able to maintain his fame as one of Oprah’s best projects. Even more amplified now since Dr Oz is disgraced. It’s insane to me.
Without exploiting other people??? Huhhhh? Dr. Phil said that?
Dr Phil? More like awful.
(I can't think of anything)
More like Dr. Phail?
AwPhil
more like Dr. Drill because he'll fucking murder you
@@orange- AwPhil! Thats perfect!
I am genuinely amazed that Dr. Phil has not been attacked, repeatedly, for several years.
I feel the same way about people not physically attacking Donald Trump. Dr. McGraw is merely better at hiding his toxic mentality and the way he treats others; or rather, he thinks he's a pretty good actor when it comes to hiding his bad behavior. Some of us can see him clearly though.
the dr phil dunks are some of my favorite joel content personally i would watch a channel entirely of dr phil dunking if such a thing existed
I am a UA-cam failure 😞. But luckily I had an epiphany: I don't like making animations because I like putting them on UA-cam, I just like making animations. So I'll just find myself an underpaid career in animation and become a life failure instead of a UA-cam failure 😌
Oh man, finally with the fifth video being uploaded, the whole Joel's Dr. Phil saga is available for free. I do have Nebula, but I'm happy that now everyone can experience the whole anthology.
Dr. Phil telling someone to make money without exploiting other people is pretty rich, considering he profits off the public humiliation of each of his "guests".
ok but does anyone else remember seeing Dr Phil gleefully watch his team involuntarily admit someone because those episodes were fucked up. like they’d be forcing some 13 year old girl into a van against her will and he would look so proud of himself
kidnapping kids is a cornerstone of USA's child raising culture.
"What you're about to see..." always sounds so ominous.
Watching any Dr Phil makes me legitimately uncomfortable at this point.

Man, there are several relatively common "neurological conditions" that make a person completely unsuited for being a cog in the post-industrial machine. One of the most common is the obsoletely titled, and absurdly misunderstood condition of "ADHD," which can be simply described as a severe deficiency of 3 critical neurotransmitters in the brain. It's easy to understand the horrible life people have with this condition in modern society when understanding what these neurotransmitters actually do, how critical they are to basic brain functions that allow "normal" people to tolerate modern life (taken for granted by most) and the cascade of ill effects that are exacerbated by the expectations non-consensually thrust upon the middle and working classes by our current system. Other relatively common issues which can be related or independently cause similar problems include various forms of epilepsy. In some cases of these conditions, sitting in a classroom and trying to learn through processing auditory language triggers nightmarish focal seizures that can include feelings that range from anxiety to terror, visual, auditory, sensory, etc. hallucinations, receptive aphasia (meaning the brain suddenly can't process auditory language and the person only hears gibberish instead) memory distortions and so on. Most of these experiences are almost impossible for sufferer's to describe and because of the society-wide mental atrophy and the cycles of abuse in virtually every area of society, sufferers learn early to keep these things to themselves. Lastly, since no human being is evolved to live in the shackles of post-industrial society and everyone has to be beaten into submission to be willing to give up their autonomy, their own interests and passions and to sacrifice their entire lives to work a meaningless job for little reward and only with the hope that they will live long enough to retire so that they can one day begin their life before they grow too old to do anything with it, when a person who has submitted is faced with a person who refuses to submit, it is easy to understand the psychology behind why those people emulate the people who beat them into submission and continue the cycle of abuse. As far as I can tell, no human being desires to live their childhood stuck in a classroom for the sake of spending their adulthood imprisoned in a hellish job, always with some form of authority hanging over them, watching them, holding things over them and belittling them at every turn. Anyone who refuses to be understanding of a person with the guts to stand up against it, who talks trash to the person needs to look to their own memory of all the people who treated them the same way and ask themselves if they really want to retroactively justify the mistreatment and abuse that they suffered in their own lives.
let's effing jooooooooooel
I didn't realise big joel was an actual channel, i thought it was just a joke like medium joel. I've watched so many little joel videos. How did i miss this...
im convinced that the dr phil show is so many layers deep in comedy that nobody even knows it including the producers and phil himself
A lot of us have Dr.Phil moments where we sincerely see ourselves as helping others or informing someone of their wrong doing but really we’re using it as an opportunity to see ourselves as doing good & put others down. any help we give is incidental to that goal and its all to easy to convince ourselves otherwise. Helping people in a way that’s actually patient and kind and rooted in a desire to understand without centering ourselves in the interaction is super hard. I’m sure Dr.Phil truly sees himself as just giving it to them straight in a way they need to hear without asking himself if it could be done in a way that’s gentler.
Being gentler and kinder wouldn't make for as good television for him. Really, in a major way that's what it comes down to; the image of being a stern guiding figure 'telling it like it is' in a relatively dramatic fashion where people can feel he put someone in their place etc.
He's such a consistent arse that I'm convinced that his intentions are impure.
I WISH I'd had somebody to tell me to do something creative with my life even if it was risky, instead of wasting four years and £25k on the super safe alternative of getting a degree that never got me even one job.
FOR REAL
Dr Phil did a weird flex and thought that was entertaining somehow
Really just highlighted how terrible he is at apparently everything he does.
It was very entertaining, just not in the way he was shooting for.
Dr. Phil is just conservative PT Barnum in a suit and tie
Medicine 101: show your own results to your patients and brag about how much better of them you are.
Little Joel, super unrelated, but could you make a video roasting the “manifestation movement”? I just got reminded of them recently and, albeit I’m irked, I wanna know your take on it lmao
Thank u and bless your omnipotence
lmaooo god I was really into crystals, meditation, astrology etc a while back. Then I found the manifestation people and said you know what? I'm done. 😭💀 I cannot STAND THEM !! I still like my pretty rocks and silly star facts tho
One of the most annoying things about Dr Phil is him constantly talking about how parents should stop supporting their kids when they turn 18 but he bought his sons their own houses....
The public who watches Dr Phil is absolutely chomping at the bit to understand how UA-cam monetization works. The infinite amount of middle-age soccer moms can not comprehend how money could possibly come from “nothing”. My own parents ask me how money is made on UA-cam every few weeks either because they forget or because they simply cannot comprehend the fact that it’s true one can get paid for simply making little cartoons or filming marbles running down a track. The wider public does not understand how UA-cam works, much less do they believe in it, and Dr Phil exploits this hole of knowledge in society to make it seem like the issue at hand is more dire or important than it actually is
My friends who didn't have their family's support in college and didn't get scholarships, worked full-time jobs, and one even missed some classes to work. It was rough.
i have ADHD, i'm 20, i don't like work at least in the traditional sense. i've had a few jobs in the past, but each has driven me down a spiral of anxiety, depression, and burnout.
so when you say being able to get a job is someone's one chance at happiness (or their most secure chance at happiness) i'll have to respectfully disagree at least from my perspective personally.
because being forced to work 40 hours a week for the next 40 years sounds dreadful, and in many potential jobs that presumption will turn out correct and i'll be spiraling again and again.
and i know being unemployed the rest of my life isn't sustainable (unless i manage to get government aid for my disability, which i might but i haven't tried yet)
but i'm happy, and trying to heal the best i can, and getting a job will be more likely than not the exact opposite of happiness.
How do you survive
Your disability? The ADHD?
So I'm only 19, I dropped out of highschool at 17 for really, really bad mental health. I've recovered and have thought about going back to school, not sure honestly. I feel like other jobs got so demonised when I was growing up "if you don't go to further education, you'll be nothing in life".
I'm in a position where I can access some trade job apprenticeships and stuff like that, I don't know man, school just isn't for everyone. You don't have to go to college, that doesn't make you a failure it just makes you someone who doesn't want that for their life. I still feel like a failure because it's so ingrained in me, at the end of the day though money is money, pick something you have some resonance with and go at it. And pursue those dreams, but have some backups, I feel so much more at ease and secure now pursuing my artistic passions, now that I have work and some more work in the future as a nice safety net. I'm learning to sew clothes and stuff really cool right?
Remember the advice that Dr. Phil gave to the “Cash Me Outside” girl, and how she was throwing her life away acting out online. She is now a multi millionaire. JS. 😬
I did grow up feeling like this guy. I knew that I was being raised to be a disposable part in awful system
I guess what Phil really does is just sell a feeling of moral superiority to viewers who, deep down, hate themselves.
Like, do I think Erin's content is funny or enjoyable? No. But I also don't like trap music or 95% of TikTok content. Phil is literally saying "I think it's dumb so it's objectively dumb." Meanwhile his show is... well, I will let you fill in your own negative opinion lol
Comparing Joels hair styles from different times, I must say, he really rocks the baby face look (I let you decide which is which)
A baby baptised in wine.
The way he said "whuhduyuhavtasupporthimIfhesincollege"
this is one of the most level headed guests ive ever seen on Dr. Phil. Why even have this guy on?
Because 'influencer' is a buzzword and the old people who watch his show want someone to parrot their feelings that it's dumb and pointless, even while thousands of people became millionaires basically just talking on Twitch and Tik Tok. Which is ironic considering they are the generation that made fun of their parents for calling rock and roll a fad
"Why do you have to support him?"
Because he didn't ask to be born, so as a parent, it is incumbent on you to support him at least through childhood? We can quibble a little bit about where childhood ends but like...kids owe parents nothing, because they didn't decide to be born.
love this take
The audience's reaction to Dr. Phil's boomer tiktok convinced me that white privilege is real.
First Abigail Thorne's "Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Trans" and now I find that it's where medium Joel lives?? Nebula is looking more and more attractive.
that was literally terrifyong when he showed the tiktok i cant imagine being expected to clap at that😭
Heyyyy that's me
hey joel, what happened with house of hatred? did you stream it or are you still waiting to see how to pick apart this S tier content
Phil trying to flex at the kid lol
we now have evidence of medium joel. will there be a tiny joel for tiktok and shorts?
You're driving the plane, but you're not wearing your
seatbelt ...I paraphrase, Dr. Philisms are funny.
Phil's TikTok sucked on comedic and production value.
No joke and two videos spliced together to pretend they're in the same room without even matching the audio by removing the noise or copying it over to the cleaner track.
