Earwigs Ate My Brain - Mostly True Stories Urban Legends

[Thecoolgirl324]

It was good but if this was real the doctors would do something right away like surgery to take the earwig and some eggs out.

[Andraspetar]

Unfortunately it's true...

[femalewoo2u]

it IS possible to get an insect into your ear, as for one 'eating' your brain...nope. bugs can lay their eggs just in your skin so maybe it may SEEM that it's eating your brain. it's not possible for bugs to borrow that well. the ear canal does NOT take you directly to the brain.

[Yeslek276]

Hm. Too much adventure is NOT good.

[BrownEyedFools]

I have earwigs where i live they are SOO annoying

[sillysilvergirl1357]

Only a parasite such as a tape worn, brain worm, ext will eat ur brain not insects like this

[Lachen908]

dont wanna sleep now..

[iloveblacklabs1]

im feeling my fucking ears now shit

[koolkillax]

He would have felt something going into his ear if that were the case...

[allstarsonny]

this legend is stupid. way back in the day, people would were powder wigs and these bugs would nest in them. when the man or woman would pu on the wig, the earwig would jump from the wig making it look like it would jump out of there ears.

[lexxypexxy]

Moral of the story: don't pick out your ear wax.

[Robikus]

KHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA­AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN!

[assassinsofroblox]

@586lilkiller no! they only bite it.

[SpyroSan]

My ear popped watching this video. o_O

Scared the living crap outta me xD

[HeeHify]

my friend's brother had one of these in his ear it was disgusting seeing it come out O_O ughhhh....

[gokuvegeta562]

6:50 damn nature you scary!!!

[assassinsofroblox]

earwigs dont eat your brains, they only damage it.

[586lilkiller]

@assassinsofroblox thats eating it

[HALOFAN1237]

U guys r idiots,this could be true but earwigs don't eat brains they could go in your ear but wont eat your brains.

[DrRoryMagowan]

Wow great, there is an earwig at the head of my bed burrowed into the wall

[MyLoveConnection]

i guess not cleaning your ears is a good thing then ? lol

[SkilledAtXbox]

i have a bad ear ache is this true becuase i am gonna go doctors

[TheModdedBullet]

This tree fell down in my neighborhood and me and my friends were playing on it and there was this bark off with earwigs now im scared.

[PillsHere83]

Anyone feel itchy?

[BoyNotorious333]

so fucking fake I read it ain't true

[MegaJalen1234]

Why can't our ears be cold.?

[Nirojeki]

we have tons in tennessee

[TheJasonDR]

im so scared right now cuz theres so many earwigs in my home

[Reekhavic9]

6:49 as you can see here, the person who collected all these bugs is a virgin

[WillGotti]

If you clowns watched the ENTIRE video you will see that they said the legend was false. One of the guys said they don't feed on brains or bore through the ear and closer to the end of the vid they were debunking it even further. They were saying the bugs never get past the middle ear, etc. People love to cry lies, fake etc. without listening or understanding. You need to stfu and listen before passing judgement.

[TheSuperchris9]

there are loads of earwigs in england and this is bullshit

[coolchesse6011]

lies their is no passegway from the ear to the brain

[KunkoFilms2]

@SpawN3H earwigs dont climb in peoples ears and lay eggs you fucktard

[DjNyht]

Urban Legend. Any scientist knows that there is a bone in your ear (past the eardrum) that stops insects from burrowing and eating said brain, however, may cause deafness.

[KunkoFilms2]

@SpawN3H ok...

[albinocify]

@KunkoFilms2 LOL that guy told you some weird masterbation crap o__O

[KunkoFilms2]

@albinocify its true, if he thinks its real hes retarded.

[MiqeMadeline]

uhm, they are called earwigs in most languages because they do have a tendancy to crawl into unique shaped places. if one gets on your body, it will most likely crawl into your ear. but they can not crawl into your brain. and they wont eat away on it. they will stop once they cant go further, they turn. i lived in switzerland on a farm, we had a few of those outside, they were never a danger. hah, now you got a clear answer from a 14 year old girl, which is even true :P

[albinocify]

@MiqeMadeline Whoa, how was Switzerland?? :D did the earwigs eat ur brain?? lol, jk :)

[JC2Ruler]

thumbs up thats not true

[motorkola2]

they would die in your earwax I read

[hardclock]

Does anyone have the full episode? If so can you upload it

[WeBelongD3AD]

I seen those in Mexico 0.0

[MrJimmypickles]

lol the guy looks like james hetfield

[zenoist2]

The average person swallows 10 spiders in their sleep in their lifetime. Yummy!

when you wake up the next day it might not be beer.

[thecooldude255555]

jaymzlea is right im glad that im waering mine too an jaymzlea check you headphones first kk

[TheMagnificentPony]

im romanian its called something similar 2 earwigs 2 and my grandparents told me that their called that way because they go into your ear

[DamianKenny8]

My ass hurts when i think of this!

[MEareCAT]

It's sad that humans hate bugs so much for no reason. Humans are the real parasites. We've ruined this beautiful planet. Call me a 'tree hugger', I don't care, because I know I am right.

[carsontroeh]

@MEareCAT agreed.

[5jrhunter]

@MEareCAT please.. i'm all about recycling and protecting the environment.. but before we "ruined this planet," you wouldn't be living past 40, and if you weren't a white male, you wouldn't have shit for rights.. you wouldn't have any free time to do whatever you wanted, you wouldn't even have the right to be a "tree hugger" so stfu be happy with what you have

[TheJasonDR]

@MEareCAT Wow .... humans are the real parasites wow .. thats a healthy way to look at it ..........NOT!!!

[mrliampep5i]

ha he look like chuck norris

[shawty25mj]

ewwwwwwww i'm ... gonna be wearing earplugs from now on ...

[MegaHarris101]

Now I Am Freaking Out

[mymightyboosh]

[MetalHeadImCool]

@mymightyboosh

LLLLLOLLLLLLLLLLLL

[goluigi10]

@mymightyboosh I'm not so sure. I just felt something crawl into my ear less than an hour ago. Can earwigs scurry?

[mymightyboosh]

@goluigi10 noooo

[Venatore85]

@mymightyboosh who the fuck gets a pet earwig ahaha

[Drag2hand]

Why can't all creatures be around the same size and all get along?

[LCMScorpio412]

Well, now I'm afraid to go to sleep.

[lowserver2]

LOL they are on every backyard or garden xd look under a stone D:

but i don't know how they would get to your ear, its kinda impossible xd

[SGTL85]

THUMBS UP

IF U THOUGHT AT 2:48

HOLY F*** THAT DUDE HAS ENOURMIS SWOLLEN LIPS WHATZ A FREAK!

[godofdaredevils]

Man this scares me so damn much...

[PinkXbEaStX]

There is a very unlikely chance of this happening though. I don't know why people are so paranoid. Even though I kinda am. :)

[zik689]

7:01 ...Africa and other such nations!Epic!xD

[cinimonsimontrack]

when i was atching this, i picked my ear, wax fell out and i thought it was one so i smashed it,and thats how i got a new keyboard:)

[re4fan1l]

[tory111199]

i watched this right before i went to my aunts. and guess what? i was going to be sleeping on her bedroom floor when she told me, she has a ton of earwigs in her bedroom. didnt sleep at all that night

[imnotgonnadie1549]

There are tons of those in my backyard :/

[wherearemycookie]

Yet it is not possible for an earwig to crawl inside your brain because the eardrum blocks the passageway.

[JaymzLea]

Suddenly, I'm glad I'm watching this video with headphones on...

[semmeessgamer]

@JaymzLea lol

[cicilysaraaah]

dude, why did i watch this?!

i'm like majorly paranoid now...i keep covering my ears now.....

[Rip2EazyE]

fuck i shouldnt have watched this

[MsVarsity11]

and that's why I sleep with earplugs in.lol.

[H3MetalC0rE]

So they are saying an earwig might get in your ear but it will not cut trough your eardrum ? I I have a lot of these guys in my house .

[Slytherin008]

i got pinched by one earlier :(

[oly355]

the size of a small bird? whaaaat! xD that's like, 1/3 of my fist xD

[norzanib]

Oh god... This is why i hate bugs... =S

[nick2s]

[xannara182]

[Juneduhraichu]

[Starcraft360]

[visionimagify]

HOLY FCK. I've seen those things. They're always in my room and on my sink. I kill those little fckers with chlorine.

[LillyBlossom13]

im terrified of earwigs because i have had one in my ear im scared to get another one in my ear so i sleep wit cotton in my ears lol. i hate when i get a tickle or something by my ear cuz i think its an earwig so i freak out. silly huh?

[Citrusrock]

In Dutch they're called: "oorkruipers" wich means "earcrawlers"

[Fastmn25]

Most of you didn't finish the clip. They don't burrow into you.

[UltraComboer]

@Fastmn25 Yeah, judging by the comments most people probably just read the title and made a comment.

[Magnum337Gaming]

They are not called Earwigs in swedish, their called Double-Tail / Split-Tail.

[AlphaNinjaPenguin]

you ppl think there not real i see ones near my pool everyday

and once a earwig got on me and i jumped in the pool with all my clothes on in the middle of the winter that how much im scared of them

[Toria8796]

well when i was 10 my car was infested with them and i was freaking out i was about to jump out the widow but i got a hold of my self.from now on i keep a small can of bug spray in my pocket

[BartonHigh]

Lmao do you honestly? 

[lizziemiss945]

wow what the heck

[Bloodsoldr]

Here's what i do when I go to sleep. I put headphones in. Done. Fucking earwigs better get some dynamite. they aint gettin in my skull.

[VaultTec007]

They get in my newspaper quite often.

[MrBunsX]

there all over the fucking place in mn this summer lol

[queenandcorgis]

I hate earwigs!

[twizy123]

rarely seen? add 27000 people to that

[4turnerfamily]

not true

[glb360]

It happened to me. I felt the pincher and heard it crawling around. Fortunately, it crawled out on its own. I would never have known if not for my girlfriend who saw it crawl out of my ear.

[NinkaPanda]

@glb360 How can it even fit into your ear?

It would have to burst the ear drum and that would be incredibly painful.

Or are you just saying that it just crawled around the entrance and then went away?

[1hndman]

ok so i play playstation alot, i got me some of those fancy turtle beach headsets. one day, after gamein for like an hour, i felt something on the back of my ear. this motherfucker was crawlin around the inside of my headphones the whole time. i still use um but i check about every 1/2 hour. ill never be the same...

[xXFirestar5Xx]

they call them earwigs because they get into ears of corn, they are farm pests. not human ears. thats silly and impossible

[Gochar96]

One was in my nose' i sneezed and it came out so then i took my bat and try to kill it! TRUE STORY!!!!!!!!!

[KunkoFilms2]

earwigs dont live in people's ears and dont want to eat your brain its a Euorpean urban legend all they want to do is eat your garden

[jessica56786789]

@KunkoFilms2 what garden...

[KunkoFilms2]

@jessica56786789 if you have one

[semmeessgamer]

@KunkoFilms2 yeah you said it. earwig isnt literal

[Reekhavic9]

@KunkoFilms2 thanks for spoiling the video

[KunkoFilms2]

@Reekhavic9 I only posted this because tons of people where going like (troll voice start) "Wow i know for a fact that they go in people's ears cause i know a guy who knew a guy who knew a guy who knew a guy who had one kill him" (troll voice end).

[Reekhavic9]

@KunkoFilms2 Alright just shut your mouth next time okay?lol

[jer3121]

i see them all the time their fucked up

[WilliamBroichYAY]

what do earwigs do when in your hear?

[stephandesme123]

It's not true. Earwigs may crawl in your ear at night to sleep or watever but they can't go beyond the eardrum. They are harmless insects (but I don't know if they can pinch u or not)

[sedwarg]

@stephandesme123 yeah one pinched my finger once, it didn't hurt and it let go as soon as i waved my hand around

[scooter12e]

earwigs dont eat your brain tehy only pinch thats all

[prkr5885]

Fake. The earwig can crawl int your ear but it can not get past the eardrum into the brain.

[99Flamingskull]

Once I met a bug which is called a DICKSUCKER yeah and he gave my a blowjob lol I just squished him with my ass then another one came with is called a vagina sexer and sexed with my sis and she continued! They are gonna have babies!

[S4LAm4ndr]

I woke up today with one on my face, not knowing what it was I swatted it then its pinchers pinched my lip. I thought it was a spider and freaked out (becasue I had a brown recluse problem a while back). Then noticed it was an earwig and crushed it between me index finger and thumb! Beware wigs of the ear! I WILL DESTROY YOU!

[adamistank95]

@S4LAm4ndr the same thing happened to my mom today..

[THExIRISHxKID]

theres some in my house i keep seeing them crawling on the ceiling and walls and one bit the back of my leg what can i do to get rid of these they're really making me paranoid

[emocheshire222]

o.o i dont even know wat the fuck that is?but im freakin scared now DX

[Skyrodude]

HOlyyy crap

[bjnboy]

The botfly is even worse than earwigs could ever possibly be.

[blox5000]

im scared now O_O

[whisper71298maybe7]

ur ear drum do not allow anything through and the ear drum is really thick the bug would have 2 chew through it and this would take week 2 months even then it would have to go through bones and wax by then if its not already removed there is a lot of water in your brain if the bug can survive that then you would first loose Ur hearing then vision than u b parallelized then u'd b dead.

i don't think a bug would survive that.

[abSOULuteD]

Tom Tucker

[QTV2008]

Yeah, but it's that 1 in a million person who actually has this happen that makes your skin crawl...,; D

[rww33]

Earwigs are awesome. I keep remembering having them in my house in Illinois in the 80's.

[x1ic1x]

fuck man that shit is crazy i see them all the time and i never knew what they were called till i watched family guy.

[99Flamingskull]

@x1ic1x

LMAO HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA Hmmm.... Gees I guess MY sense of humor came back and a gay clown said fuck you and i could laugh at anything I cried for boreness I kicked him soo hard that he has no balls left! gees talk about wasting balls!

[DrIasimov]

I love the dramatic recreations of the urban legends.

[72kingboo]

@skiklefied I know how you feel, when I was getting the halloween decorations out,I found a jar that we used to keep cookies in. I opened it out of curiosity, and HUNDREDS OF ROACHES BURST OUT!!! It is stupid now, but I was scarred for life.

[pleasepoop61]

LOL

[samnseq89]

ive heard of one woman who had a JUNEBUG in her EAR... now thats AWESOME

[MsSourSkittle]

These are called earwigs because when their wings are out they look like the human ear. Lol.

[sporepid]

i've had earwigs in my ear none have gone into my duuuuuuuuuudslad;bsa;d omg hes dead

[shadow21production]

i had earwigs in my back yard in new jersey

[savegalkissy]

so false earwigs can NOT go into your brain skull is to thick

[RealNoodle23]

I'm so scared and I'm not even scared of horror movies! I love horror movies!!!!

[skiklefied]

Earwigs scare the living shit out of me. Ever since I woke up late one night to the disgusting sound of one crawling around in my ear, I have this undying paranoia that there's always one in my ear! At random times of the day, I'll clean my ears because suddenly I feel that crawling sensation from my nerves.

[bombkangaroo]

Earbuds and a headband. Never worry about the 'wigs again.

[Robstailey]

@skiklefied how did you get it out? also do they really eat your brain or harm you or what??

i woke up with a tick on my eyelash one time and yea bugs are fucking scary.

[dsrtflwr]

@skiklefied How'd you get it out of your ear?

[skiklefied]

@dsrtflwr I used a Q-tip. The nasty little thing came out easily, but it was a creepy sound to wake up to, that's for sure.

[HoneyBear1297]

@skiklefied Once I woke up and a dead earwig was in my mouth, o_o

[skiklefied]

@HoneyBear1297 Oh my.

[Kr0MG]

@skiklefied

possibly a sign of Delusional parasitosis ^^



[PcJaiden828]

@skiklefied dont clean your ears. that makes it easier for them to just get tthrough

[navioner]

lol this is a fake urband legend because a earwig cant eat throw the skull whitch protects the brian

[TheBlackberrybeat13]

You'd be a lot sicker, than just a headache. You wouldn't be seen at your doctor's office. You'd be in an ICU., fighting for your life.

But these creatures don't do it, but parasites can cause huge destruction.

[tats96]

earwigs are called earwigs becuz of the shape of there wings......tooped

[coreylawd]

no one worry i have studied medical for 1 year and every oen should know that when it punctures your eardrum u would be in severe pain and will know something is wrong

[xtazy115]

good grief!!!!!!jesus.thousands of eggs

[Mwahohoho]

Humid, moist, warm environments? Belly button?

[Mwahohoho]

His face expression and the way he looks at his finger when his ear is bleeding makes me laugh for some reason.

[Celticgirl057]

My Mom had a beetle crawl into her ear when she was a little girl. It stayed in her ear for a while and caused her pain. She wasn't aware of it until the beetle fell out of her ear when she went swimming weeks later.

The earwig legend has always grossed me out.

[tory111199]

couldnt the earwig drown in the juise that is in your head?

[luck4fuck]

its water proof lol?

[Core2duoMac]

i fucking hate earwigs. they're all over my house! now that i watched this, i don't think i can sleep tonight.

[TheLenism]

Me too!!! I just put a lot of sticky tape and stuff out and had mah kitty do the rest...hehe
