  • Got life all figured out I see. 

  • At least their marriage stayed together. I was expecting divorce, arguments over the kids and in the end, you resent each other and finally, some one dies or moves away to some ridiculous location.

  • In reality she's 4 years older than me, & WWJD? To tell you the truth, I don't have a clue, you'll have to ask my wife Joan. She's the love of my life, & it's been going on for over a quarter century. We've traveled the world together & with our children, known as Fate & Design online. Mary is the Godmother in my life, I'll let you know, but Gabrielle is the woman who gave birth to this typical man, who in reality is a French Citizen who was born in Germany, but is an American too. . .

  • @virtuallyjesuschrist . . . & that's a trinity of countries for you.

    If you want to know the truth, you've gotta' figure it out for yourself, & follow the links that bind us together. I'm not here to save your butt, but i've got a few words for you.

    The truth that sets a being free, isn't about believing in a being like me,

    or someone promising you the CHANGE you HOPE for.

    It takes responsibility for all you think & do to find your peace of mind,

    and accept reality for what it truly is.

  • To the people who say this is too depressing to watch all the way through: you can't just change the channel on life, can you?

  • This could be a parody of a typical Canadian, British, or even Australian relationship. Following a stupid mental template is behavior not limited to Americans. ;-)

  • I hated all 4 minutes and 40 seconds of that (OK, I clicked ahead. It's all the same.)

    Is it supposed to be humorous? It's not. I can't imagine how sad and disillusioned the creator of it must be.

  • @onedrop7

    Except they're 100% right? I love denial.

  • kill me now.

  • brilliant!!!

  • Uber depressing, lmao keeps thing in perspective.

  • why didn't he talk?

  • @whoryanp Because relationships are all about the women...

  • You forgot neglecting to vote, filing for bankruptcy, getting fired/laid off and an obligatory trip to Burning Man.

  • @gingrinch yup

  • we need real men to come back, forget being pussywhipped

  • @nickstar717 Im with you bro.

    Society is pretty fucked up right now, and although men have their issues, losing their manhood and being little bitches is one that comes to mind, it seems women are hellbent on this "American Dream" "keeping up with the Jones's" kind of attitude.. and will do whatever it takes to follow the steps in this video, even if it isn't the best thing for them or their partner.

    Theres a whole universe out there, so much more to do in life.

  • @JoeyRec Amen, Joey. A-fucking-men.

  • This is by far the best video regarding contemporary America I've ever come across! I am elated to realize I am not the only one who sees life like this--especially in Middle America.

  • Why is this such a monologue? Sounds like someone's pussy whipped.

  • shoot me now

  • these comments are far too serious! this is supposed to be funny! (or was for me)

  • @andreweston4u People can't stand when you raise a mirror to them. Either that or they take life too seriously and can't laugh at themselves. Goes to show no wonder why I am single.

  • @MindfulMaterialism Women like her find no problem with having a sexist attitude against men but will freak out if a guy even dares to say anything even in a joking form. She's probably one of those men-hating idiots who's never even heard of razors.

  • @AirForceGirl05 And yet, im positive tyhat if someone said something like that about woman, your cheap Walmart panties would be in a twist. are men not worth marrying or do none of them want you so you decide to act like a man hater? The truth hurts, hunny. So sorry that a guy probably wouldnt touch you with a 10 foot pole.

  • I'm kind of offended.

  • this is one of the most depressing videos i've ever seen in my life

  • No divorce? I thought this video was surely going to point out how most relationships end due to financial differences, or the woman sucking the life out of the man until he can't stand it anymore. This was pretty tame.

  • arranged marrage was the norm up til the early 1900's

  • no fun.. no fun ... lots of humor in this.. but this can't be true.. not all married couples have 2.3 kids and live in suburban america like this.. crazy vid..

  • I'd say, "Guess that's about it!" But, y'know, most relationships don't get that far into the "marriage" deal.

    Furthermore, heart disease?! Bitch, I'm gonna die in an accident involving alcohol, firearms, laser-sharks, and the occasional rocket!

  • this is disgusting... white people -_-

  • @nohomo502 i think its like this in every culture. the human experience for a lack of a better word - is boring (the ones who are religious are afraid of realizing this so they cling onto religion thinking there is something more). ironic eh---the ones who come to the realization that there is no magic man are the ones who become depressed and the ones who live in fantasy end up staying sane...:/

  • and a 'dungeon room' adjacent to the laundry room, where I will make her sequel...

  • The truth can be a scary thing... I'll have none of that reality however, there will be a grow op in MY basement!

  • this...is some scary shit...O.O

  • American, or Western? Or human?

  • @wall0645 definitely human...

  • But... What the hell happened to the woman staying in the kitchen and handing me my beer while I watch football????

  • That's not so bad, is it? They even left off the bits where the man cheats on the woman with some young slut he met in the grocery store.

  • pretty much correct

  • very true..maybe its a sign.. do something crazy with your lives people

  • HER VOICE IS SO ANNOYING!!

  • i want to die.

    how about a different view of marriage?

  • This is why polyamory works :p

  • Men aren't worth marrying. Most women simply marry and discard males for money, and I can't say I blame them. Personally I won't even waste my time doing that.

  • @AirForceGirl05 thats sexist you know....

  • @sciencenerd111

    How is it any more sexist than this video and most of the comments here claiming that the typical American woman is self centered and shallow?

    I simply don't want a relationship with a guy, let alone marriage. Yes, I'm straight. Males just bore me and most of you can't be trusted with anything.

  • @AirForceGirl05 Still sexist. Just because you may find facts to validate your claim that males are boring (to your standards), does not make it any less sexist than any other comment or this video. First off, don't make blanket statements saying all men are boring and they are untrustworthy. Do you know all men? No, so you cannot say with 100% certainty that all are boring. Your comment can't be compared with the rest; it stands alone, so it will be judged by its own merits.

  • @AirForceGirl05

    Maybe that's the problem. You're looking to be entertained like a 4-year old. You're an adult. If you're bored, entertain *gasp* YOURSELF. That's the big difference between men and women in the west. Women expect men to be 'on' all the time, needing to make you laugh, etc. Men on the other hand have no such requirement for women and don't give a damn about it at all because we can find something interesting to do without the need to be entertained by someone all the time.

  • @AllPro777

    Yawn, more generalizations from a boring male.

    Do you do anything else?

  • @AirForceGirl05

    I love how dimwits like yourself always try to marginalize everyday occurrences. I must've really gotten under your skin, since you retreated to your little "boring male" crap (I guess that's your idea of a comeback angle, lol). *SIGH*.

    Maybe you should just be a lesbian. You'd certainly be saving the male species the headache of dealing with yet another one of your silly, run-of-the-mill asses that needs a puppet show all the time.

  • @AllPro777

    zzZZZZzzZZzzZZzzzz

  • @AirForceGirl05

    8========> in your mouth all the time like the typical military fuckNchuck...

  • @AllPro777

    No originality at all. How typical of you.

  • @AirForceGirl05

    So let me get this straight... you're crying about being generalized yet you're doing the exact same thing. You're an idiot like the typical YouTuber. And you can't try your lame shit on me bitch, I'm a female. You're an example of why men say women don't have a good sense of humor. This video isn't supposed to be taken so damn seriously. Lighten up and cut the BS. You're nothing interesting.

  • @TheChallenger1000

    I fell asleep halfway through reading your nonsense, my snooze alarm went off hours later and I didn't bother finishing it.

  • @AirForceGirl05

    *rolling eyes*

    Lame.

  • @AirForceGirl05 And might I object and say that since men and women are equals, both sides within an argument must fend for themselves in an argument using evidence. You are executing ad hominem, meaning you attack the opponent rather than the argument, rendering your argument invalid. Just to warn you of that because it seems that is the road you are going down once you started having a conversation with AllPro777. Well, best of luck and have a happy 2012.

  • @AirForceGirl05 If I might add my 2 cents: Since men and women are by law sustained as equals, doesn't that mean that women cannot be trusted more than men? And that women are as boring as men? Just saying that women are about as flawed as any man is. You all may have been oppressed, but now that men and women are equals does not mean women are always right.

  • This should be called the sad truth about the typical American woman.

  • more like a generic rant containing your take on what you believe to be the stereotypical american woman.

  • "anyone lived in a pretty how town,with up so floating many bells down..."

  • God bless America....

  • "You can take me..."? Can anyone tell me what are the final words?

  • 79,999 viewer not good...

  • The male character is Levni Yilmaz.

  • Yep. So true and sad. Been there myself, witnessed it happened. Not going to happen to my daughters. They will think for themselves.

  • Comment removed

  • U can pick me up at 8 xD but u copycatted...-:O

  • And my mother wonders why I'm single, she even asked me if I'm gay :P

  • Generalizing is fun innit

  • So you copied Lev huh? but not as good!

    Your video is ok but you could say that all humans essentially live the same life pattern... it is the details on the journey that make all the difference.

  • I couldn't watch this all, depressing

  • Don't forget about the small things in life

  • bla bla bla bla.....no wonder that American men like European women

  • lol that totally sounds like some of my annoying friends.

  • should be called "the sad truth about relationships with american women."

  • ...ok now how the heaven i got here?....

  • Thank you for destroying my illusions .....

  • I dunno. That sounds like a pretty nice life to me.

  • Vegeta: You forgot that the world ends at December 2012. Sad for you!

  • Yeah, sure! She forgot to mention the little details regarding divorce!

  • Haha dementia xD

  • "New Years Eve works fine for me."

    "Our wedding will take place a year and a half after your proposal."

    "June 2014"

    Did he propose in December 2012 when the world was supposed to end anyway? O.O

  • This made me laugh. I find it funny that some people actually live their lives this way without even realizing it. I, on the other had, shoot for spontaneity!

  • I liked.

    gj

  • boring

  • if you take dry humour that's not funny, you're only left with dry

  • way to take emotions out of life

  • they forgot the divorce and get married again, and divorce again and married...

    oh! and where are the thousand bed partners they have after every weekend party???

  • Very informative

  • I would never marry a woman who uses the word 'vacation' as a verb.

  • @alexplayspiano1 I've noticed that although I'm not a native speaker...

  • I know this is supposed to be a lament for the shallow hopes of people today and a facetious summary of what seems to be considered normal. I know that but I don't see that; though these events are undramatic and typical, they are not an indication of failure or poor expectations.

    Regardless, this may be a great admonishment to some people and I hope it will convince them to plan ahead and remember it is the experiences, not our possessions, that make us who we are.

  • u suck. dont like this at all...

  • I like to think that each relationship is different in their own way. It doesn't have to be as 'regular' or 'sad'. Its only that way if you view it in such view. I mean some people might like what you described in the vid. Some maybe not and will do something else. So long as you are happy, deep dancing with one another in the merry walk of life.

  • Yes! Very typical...the bitch calls all the shots...then you die!

  • @Maestroxxx1 Thanks, now I'll have to break up with my girlfriend before anything serious happens! I think you just save me.

  • I wish I hadn't seen that. I've been thinking all along that my kids are amazing.

  • Well that was depressing. Glad I'm single. Wait....no I'm not. When I die, no one will remember me. Pwnd.

  • This kinda reminds me of Lev only morbid ( you can't really tell with that happy voice of yours)

  • (continued) congrats – you’ve succumbed to a life of being miserable just like everyone else (you know…the ones who were jealous of your previously carefree and inspired outlook). not that both can’t be done, mind you – but it’s extremely difficult, and most people will tend to make a ‘career’ out of family anyway, outside of work (which then usually becomes just a way to pay the bills and feed the mouths).

  • Comment removed

  • this is a pretty good illustration, and why i choose not to fall into the boredom of suburban desperation and breeding routine. someone commented about how it didn’t mention infidelity, or debt; well, keep in mind this is the best outcome of a fantasy and from the woman’s perspective – the reality sucks even more. it's the crap that lulls people back to sleep in the hopes of being entertaining and fulfilling societal 'duties' and peer pressure, and not really about personal happiness....

  • lol....

  • Tales of Mere Existence...without sarcasm.

  • Well that was hilarious, and strangely accurate, in a certain context.

    A majority of people now seem too jump into marriage without actually loving the person they're going too marry, in that case, this video represents the best case scenario for what might become of the relationship then.

  • I would actually want this kind of life. A decent husband? A fairly nice house? Actually staying married until one of us dies as opposed to divorce? Fine by me.

    Sure, it's a bit drab, but it's a not a bad life at all.

  • Why is divorce rate so high? Could it be because the gov promotes it with music,movies,and other things?

  • By modern standards, that is a successful relationship!

  • See how marriage kills your life force? (But you should have known that previously).

  • Wow that scared the shit out of me.. I really really really don't want my life to end up like that.

  • This video explains how both my parents see the future. Except for the dogs.

  • 85 people don't get it. I bet they're all female.

  • When you lay out life like this, its so conventional. If you ask people what they want in life, they'll say: go to school, make a lot of money, fall in love, get married and settle down with some kids some day. You don't have to be one of these squares with your life planned out

  • @thinkforeyourself this is not life planned out. how many of us do get to have a lot of money (starting from very few) or do get to settle down nicely without love affairs or something else. drama is at every corner.

  • I thought this was going to be a Lev wannabe. Even though it is a bit, it's still sorta funny.

  • funny..I feel like killin myself very funny

  • Its not only America, it look the same almost everywhere. Life looks mostly this way but one can stay single and try to avoid all this junk. But he gonna have to deal with other garbage... I prefer to stay single, at least for now. :)

  • preety sad...but truth

  • we will vacation???? what happened to correct grammar?

  • @ElizaMogha Actually, it can be used as a verb as well.

  • "you want sex, fine, roll around on me for a while" yeah, that's an american chick for you.

  • @BillKiernan yes bill, every single american girl has this attidude. every single one of us. You would know because you have have had sex with every single one. Derp!

  • @BillKiernan - You've been hanging around the wrong American chicks.

  • @EyeLean5280 No true scotsman

  • You, too, Evulmeh, LOL! Every American woman I know (and I know plenty, being one myself) complains that it is the MAN in the relationship who isn't putting out enough!

  • Lmfao the people who created this obviously dont have that many connections or never had fun on thier life at all. If this is thier view of the world or a country thats truly pathetic. Lol

  • @Blahwazhere Actually this IS the reality of most relationships around the world. But then you're too "normal" to recognize it.

  • I first tought this is a rip-off of "Tales of Mere Existence" but I enjoyed it and you are quite creative. Loved it!

  • yeah, but you forgot about cheating with hookers, stds, ocd, adhd, alcoholism, and your kids drug habit, and your weekly visits to the psychologist. yeah baby!

  • That was mind-numbingly depressing

  • Anyone else have a boner after that?

  • Yes, the world is a place of drudgery and unimportant men who get stuck with women that have no aspirations; besides getting as much attention from people as possible. It's crazy to think that men used to be respected just 50 years ago. Now we have devolved from pursuing science and engineering into pursuing women, which are only interested in drama and getting attention. They even made college classes that women can take to further understand all the drama they create around them.

  • hehe 

  • Haha, this one's funny.

  • Fuck marriage and children.. I want to be somebody!

  • This was pretty cool. Funny and accurate, but it would be more accurate if "typical" was changed to "ideal". Typical would have much more bad behavior, abuse, infidelity, jealousy, greed and stupidity. I'll still give it a thumps up because it was entertaining and satirical.

    It's kind of un-American to not over drink, over drug, over eat and divorce isn’t it?

  • @NoMoreLiesWS

    After 25 years of marriage and loving the lovely girl I married more now than I did when I met her I guess that I would fall into the un-American part of your definition:-)

    Although I have to admit to the over eating part... That's probably true.

    This is a great video! I loved it!

  • It's called nihilism. My Philosophy 101 college professor called me a nihilist on the first day of class.

  • I liked it better when it was called "Tales of Mere Existence"....and when it was actually clever.

  • this is pathetic excuse for tales of mere existence ....

    but one thing i like is your funny narrating and your voice ...

  • this just sounds like the girl ruined the guys life for no apparent reason...

  • stop trying to take the fun out of life

  • @obiwan10001 you mad

  • Comment removed

  • So apparently, love doesn't exist. At all.

  • This video makes me want to commit Hairy Krishna.

  • A little too cynical for my tastes. I mean, relations can't be THAT bad.

  • Also, this reminds me of a sad attempt at a "Tales of Mere Existence" video.

  • You sound like one of those overly-bitter people whom I sincerely hope never raises a family. Being completely close-minded towards the usual is just as stupid as being completely close-minded toward the unusual. Either way, you're limiting yourself like a fool and avoiding situations that you might actually have enjoyed had you had the sense to try them.

  • @WheresxYourxHeart Do you have to stick your hand in a fire to know that its hot?

  • @DeadSleepers

    No, you just have to try to pick up the glass that's been roasting over it for 10min! XD

  • This is hilarious.

  • Depressing :(

  • Two people can truley make the moment a moment and having a wonderful beutiful relationship, but they both have to recognize.....every couple goes through the same crap, it's the people that are honest with each other and fight through the pain together that stay together and become happy.

    it's reaility, but dont just settle, using logic, love is one of those things where emotions must be your prime, logic also. or you are a fool and you deserve your unhappy life.

  • Wildly insightful.

  • This is also inaccurate in that they have kids. Last time I checked, Americans of European descent were dying out because they don't reproduce.

  • Where is hope and dreams? This is a lost cause and actually typical and wrong. You have to earn to live your life first. Then you should live your life. Don't afraid to from the future. Fear is a plauge, daubts are weakness. Don't regret something you didn't do. Just do it, keep it alive and fresh. Be strong

  • Sounds like something typical in America if the guy wasn't already divorced or got kids at a early age.

  • that cheered me up ._. (did you sense the sarcasm there cus i meant it)

  • Typical american.....?

    Cool euro trash point of view

    people are individuals

  • LIAR.

  • you guys liked it? Dude, this was sick.

  • Absolutely true. Now i will start to prevent this for my life.

  • OK, you think making it all sound bleak is clever, but it's a billion times better than the Ethiopian version.

  • I want to hang myself.

  • If this is sad.. compare it to a single life.

  • haahaha funny but tottally disagree

  • sounds good to me baby))

  • Actually at 8 I'm a little busy. 830 works though.
