  • KILL THEM WITH FIRE!!!

  • The fear of spiders is so irrational, they really only do good by eating pest insects and 99% would rather run then fight.

  • I want to kill a tarantula with a pistol while swigging a bottle of booze; that'll kill off my fears

  • Arachnophobia is completely, utterly unnatural, not an "instinct" - it's more a product of modern culture than anything else.

  • Good for him

  • Thumbs up if this video gave you the creeps.

  • a tarantula named tammy faye, how appropriate

  • @gman1225 You are a funny dude.You burn my babies you were about fell my fist in your face.

  • @gman1225 Do have some boxing gear & an Octagon Ring?

  • @Sandland113 Boxing gear, yes. Ring, no. Are you suggesting we fight due to a YouTube comment? Pretty straight.

  • I actually moved into the living room for a couple of months because i saw a spider in my bedroom..

  • This is certainly a more legitimate phobia than most others. A lot of spiders are aggresive, quick to bite, and just plain scary-looking physically.

  • @Triforce9426 Im happy to share a house with a spider because they get rid of all the annoying pests like ants, house flies and mosquitos. The spiders dont bother me as long as I cant see their webs in my house. if i see a web i destroy it immediately, but other then that, spiders dont bother me.

  • I always keep a can of Raid nearby whenever I catch one creeping along the walls of my basement.

  • I have 2 tarantulas at home.

  • @Sandland113 Do you have hairspray and a lighter?

  • @gman1225 Do you have some boxing gloves & an Octagon ring?

  • KILL ALL SPIDERS!!!!

  • @Mrsmarthamcgregor Fine, if you want pest insects raping you day and night thats your choice, as for me, i'll take all the spiders.

  • I got bit once.... it was a black widow.... ON MY DICK! LIKE A BOSS!

    ...But for real that shit sucked.

  • I wish National Geographic would upload more Phobia episodes, the first episode I saw was the episode about coulrophobia.

  • the only spider i like is spiderman. lol

  • @Megalodon64 You have to touch a spider an order to be like spiderman.

  • I don't have arachnophobia, but I still don't like those things. They piss me off more then they scare me.

  • i feel the same way when i see spiders. i always look up to make sure i dont see a spider dangling from a web. i feel so anxious that i cant even look at my hand.

  • Nooo...the spider in the cage died ;(

  • This one time i saw a trianchula in my house and i freaked out and grabs that biggest knife i had and chopped the shit out tof that mother fucker

  • I think I am slowly getting over my arachnophobia.

  • For anyone here that is Arachnophobic, I'm currently taking care of my grandparents house, and they have this nest of little fuckers running around the house. its bed time right now and I already killed 2 in the last 5 min. I went home (5 min away) cuz I never see spiders at my house so I was going to sleep there instead. I got home and as I was walking up the stairs, some big brown mother fucker with long ass legs greets me. DAMN HE MOVED FAST. I stomped his ass. Theres no were safe. KILL EM!

  • I hate spiders so much Whenever I see one I run away screaming then get someone else to kill it, there so disgusting.

  • ...fuck this...

  • HOLY FUCK!!8 seconds in, a tiny ass moth flew in front of the screen and i freaked the hell out and kicked my laptop off the bed

    ...i cant  watch the rest of this o__o

  • Heh I was looking through my fingers just searching the word "arachnophobia". I thought I was going to get big spiders. My dad calls me a mild arachnophobic. I can look at them, but when I do I just freeze and stare at them. When they get too close I start shuffling away and freaking out. I check corners of all the rooms I go into and the ceilings. Kids used to pick up daddy long legs and when I'd turn around it'd be in my face. Ugh...I freaking hate them...

  • i check under the toilet seat to make sure there's nothing there every time i go...

  • Talk about arachnophobia. I can't even watch this!

  • He is a hottie and i love his big sexy feet too! Yum!

  • I'm arachnophobic too, but only from a few species of spiders, esp. cellar spiders, long jawed spiders, hammock spiders, garden orb weavers(I think that's what they're called, the ones with the yellow and black markings), and harvestmen(although not real spiders). I also hate spider webs. My worst fear would to be caught in a huge nest of long jawed spiders or trapped in a cellar full of cellar spiders! EEEEK!!!!!

  • I know how he feels. Spiders scare the shit out of me.

  • I got over the spider phobia when I realized there was a bigger fear attached to it... fear of someone who used to kill them, and was a real bully of a person to be around.

  • My boyfriend has a pet tarantula and my fear of spiders is almost as bad as Alfred's. Unfortunately my boyfriend cares for the spider and got very defensive when I wanted him to get rid of it. So I basically just have to wait until the damned thing dies on it's own before I feel safe in the house again. Lol.

  • @katiemarie090 What if he gets another one?

  • @Refining1 Oh... My... God... -has a heart attack-

  • I'm a complete Arachnophobic. For some reason, spiders know this and always seem to pop up in or on my car. I have been in almost four near accidents because of these fuckers and my horrible, irrational and debilitating fear. I can deal with roaches, bugs, what have you, but theres something about spiders I just cant handle. Like a wall comes up and I freeze or I run away like my life depends on it. I'm considering hypnotherapy or some sort of professional help. At least I know I'm not alone!

  • Anything with more than 8 legs freaks me the fuck out, I don't know why but it just does. I've held anything from a Preying Mantis to a Scorpion but a tiny ass spider will clear me out of a room.

  • JFC.

    I jumped about five feet in the air when that damn spider fell (jumped?) off the glass at 8:16.

  • i am genuinely arachniphobic, and i owe it all to one dickhead who, 13 years ago, taunted me with a jar containing an orb weaver and accidently dropped it.

  • I love to scare people that have arachnopobias. I put a big spider in their head when they sleep and dump more spiders all over their bodies then I put more in the floor.

  • @bam10333333 thats just mean!

  • @bam10333333 That's downright inhumane! Not funny. You could seriously cause someone to have a heart attack, a stroke, a brain annurism, or a seisure behind such a thing. If you don't have arachnaphobia yourself, then you cannot possibly understand how intense the fear is!

  • awww I wanna hold the tarantula

  • What is this show called anyways?

  • I'm arachnophobic, and I have to say it sucks when you get scared of them, but it's funny as hell when you see another person freak out (ie walking into a web or seeing a little spider).

  • I used to be as arachnophobic as this guy, but I got tired of being controlled by my fear and overcame my own phobia. The more I learned about spiders, the more I came to respect them. Knowledge really is power. Now I can handle tarantulas without fear.

    Whatever way you do it, it really is worth overcoming your phobia. Spiders didn't ask to be spiders, and they are really amazing creatures. We mammals couldn't live without them!

  • I'm scared of EVERY INSECT, especially ants! I once had ants all over my face when I was sleeping ): I can't even squish one..

  • I am so afraid of spiders that if I am looking at a book and there is a picture of a spider on the page, then I either have to wear gloves or use a tool to turn the page. I am afraid of touching the page. I know I'm weird but it hate them.

  • @15tennisstar me too. it's terrible :(

  • the only reason i'm scared of these little shits is because a sack of spiders we in my shoe.....i hope i never experience that EVER AGAIN.. D:

  • When they showw the spiders in thiss vidd i freak the fuck out cause there qross aff andd theyy creep me out . i thinnkk imm defff atachnophiaa

  • is this show still on??

  • i am soo afraid of spiders :/ i am too afraid to kill them, once there was one in my bed and i didnt sleep in my room for 8 months. i still dont sleep in that bed cuz i made my parents get a new one. im not afraid to tell people though everyone knows that. if there is one in my house i get so afraid and start shaking...just thought i would let the yuotubers know :)

  • I have a phobia of spiders just not as bad as this guy, Id get up and kill em but thier not somthing I want to be around

  • 21:19 WTH is that in the background, in the little glass box thing. It's soo cute. [:

  • @sndrachyly It's a ferret. Yeah, they're cute and you can get them as pets, but they tend to smell pretty bad (musk glands or something like that).

  • OMG now this is a phobia i find to be very realy. I hav eit myself spiders scare me so badly. How they look and everyhting. No matter what kind it is i get really scared.

  • see like i dont realy have a fear of spiders like if i see one ill just kill it with a shoe or tisue or sumthing if its fairly small il proly just squish it with my finger but i would willingly hold one

  • When it jumped it scared the shit out of me hahah

  • What would you call fear of the number 6(ZOMG THERE IT ISSSSSSS)

    J/K =D

  • Fuck spiders!

    Except for spider man =D

  • Good job, Alfred!!!!

  • ive pulled a bb gun on spiders multiple times. ive wasted soooo much ammo on them...i HATE spiders.

  • Why the hell did they name the damn thing?! Tammy Faye, wtf?!

  • XDD I can imagine the thoughts of brad.. :D

  • After watching this video, I feel better about spiders.

  • Spider webs annoy the shit outta me... I hate walking through the woods and running into a damn spider web. You can feel that shit on you for hours afterwards.

  • That spider jumped on the lady's face and bit her! Ugh I would have had a panic attack!

  • They should've made him hold a camel spider. Then we'll see how brave he is.

  • He needs to face his fears and get a tattoo of a spider on his neck.

  • I probably would've been hysterical just being in the same room.

  • only spider i would be scared of is one the size of a cat :P i got a pet tarantula

  • if spiders stay away from me, then im okay with spiders (:

  • PUSSY!!!!!!!!!

  • @TheKillerking123 I bet you didn't even bother to watch.

  • u a pussy get balls btch

  • Terrified of spiders as well. Had one drop down from is web in a ceiling tile and surprise me as it touched my head. Nearly had a panic attack. I hate snakes too, but only smaller ones. Large "domesticated" snakes likes pyhons, etc. don't really bother me.. but any medium sized snake I've ever happened to encounter outdoors besides garter snakes I'd rather be as far as possible from.

  • I'm only fine with daddy longlegs. sorry, but any other spider will be squished

  • I'm not really afriad of tarantulas or little zebra spiders. It's just quarter-sized ones you see hanging in a web. I once got a can of Raid as a present :P

  • i have a really bad fear of House Centipedes. Just the thought of it is making me cringe.

  • TAMMY FAYE SHAKE MY FINGAS!!!!!!!!!

  • i have such a phoba of spiders (and heights)

    i cried over a daddy longlegs (my spider phobia is that bad)

    why

    it was in my bathroom sink

    right before i put my hands i noticed

    this was worse to me than when a mouse ran over my foot whne i was shitting and ran out naked......

    i expected my stepdad to give me simpthy

    no

    he just bitched and said i got piss everywhere

    thanks Mike

  • click 0:01 to skip ads

  • i have a problem with spiders to the point i feel there on me when there's nothing on me. can anyone help?

  • i wonder why i like turantulas but when i see a house siper i get jumpy and scared

  • i hate spiders omg they creep me out

  • i have tht phobia

  • I have to check for spiders every time I go in a different room and put myself in "brutally murder the little mother fucker if I see one" mode. It's the worst when I'm driving though. I'm so afraid I will see a spider in my car, have a panic attack and cause a terrible accident. God, I fucking hate spiders!! They piss me the fuck off!!!!!

  • @kelleyr100 i feel u bro

  • @kelleyr100 I've actually had that happen. It FUCKING SUCKED! I swerved but was able to calm myself down ( a miracle) by remembering that a car wreck at 70mph is deadlier than the spider. Still, the rest of my commute was fraught with psychological torture because I knew it could reappear at any second.

  • @kelleyr100 i know

  • @kelleyr100 all bugs piss me off i fucking hate them

  • @kelleyr100 So agreed. This is how I feel.

  • OMG theres no way i could have been in that room w/ that spider

    i would have killed it w/ that rubber border thing

    any1 else wonder if that 1 guy will still love spiders if he goes 2 australia & sees the funnel spider?

  • @darbrelle worse if he sees a huntsman spider

  • i hav arachniphobia

    i fuckin hate spiders, especially the tiny ones!!!

    seriously, i'd rather dunk my head in a pool full of venomous snakes than touch a fucking spider! thats how much i can't stand even 1 tiny spider!!!!

  • shit, its hard to even watch this

  • Ugh, really bad arachnophobic here. I cant even kill them! AND WHEN YOU FAIL THEY SCURRY WITH THEIR LEGS REALLY FAST!!!! UGH!!!BUt for some reasons I can bare the small spiders. Most likely because I can quickly stomp them.

  • I have a very powerfull fear of spider i usually try to stay as far away from them i bought a bebe gun just so i wouldnt have to touch them,but i also am very facinated by them i feel so...strange.

  • Now. he's a tough guy.

  • im scared of rape..... D:

  • @Dawni32 i can help you with that

  • shoulda punched the spider in the face

  • im afraid of roaches is there a phobia name for that one?

  • im scared of spiders.........injecting me wigh lethal poison

  • nice! Does anyone know the name of the store that Alfred went in with all of the spiders? I want to go there!

  • he should have shot that spider square in the face.

  • i dont scare of spiders, but i extremly afraid of snakes.

  • im scared of both =[

  • I was on a business trip on this remote mountain about an hour from Tucson and killed a brown recluse my first night there. My boss said if got bitten during the trip, I'd get a raise ; )

  • im Arachnophobic..its not fun

  • @philippenl12345: Did you run away whenever you see a spider ?

    I could not even touch a spider . Ew. I'm for the protection of many endangered species from extinction o Earth .However, I'm frightened whenever I see a spider,

    Does that make me an arachnophobe ?

  • @philippenl12345 Same here, I feel your pain

  • @philippenl12345 I just killed one with febreeze . they give me spazz attack

  • i think there's a difference between normal big spiders and ginormous spiders like taranchulas

  • @howardtibbsthethird maybe a little bit

  • I have terrible arachnophobia. I've tried facing my fears, but it always ends up with me being creeped out.

  • The gun he has was a BB gun lol big deal

  • that was a reenactment dumbass

  • If they are going to reenact something they should do it right gay fuck

  • I'd stomp the shit out of that spider

  • they should have just shown him the movie "Eight Legged Freaks"

  • @MrBored4ever We should show you the movie STFU

  • sure..., thats sounds fun

    i think

  • i love that movie

  • 1:44 LOOOOL

  • alfred is adorable & spiders.. this is why i never wear sandals, not heavy enough for a kill

  • this is what I have

  • Spiders are fine as long as they don't sneak up on me in my house.

  • Are arachnophobiacs scared of just spiders are most bugs?

  • its scared of something like anything

  • o wiait nvm i take it back it scared of spider

  • lol ok thanks

  • arachnophobia is the fear of spiders, so technically just spiders.

    Ive got a fear of most bugs.

  • spiders man only spiders insectophobia or Entomophobia is the fear of insects in general

  • irrational behavior and fear is all about perception

    your perception is reality

    reguardless if its rational or not

  • I got over my arachnaphobia with EMDR. Oddly it helped me get over my fears of bees and wasps, but it didn't take the allergy to bites away. A bee, wasp or spider bite can still kill me.

  • such a wuss spider dont scare me ,its bees ,wasps that make me go insane hahahahahha  dont understadf that i can hold a spider on my hand but no a bee

  • well i dont have arachnophbia but im just plain scared jut scared not like im gonna die im gonna die im gonna die!! lol

  • i have a pet tarantula

  • im afraid if they get on me, it's scary

  • i love ants, i used to let them crawl on my arms (not the ones that bit of course), I'm not necessarily scared of spiders but they won't be crawling on my arms anytime soon.

  • GOD i love spiders..

  • I wouldn't say i have arachnophobia, I just rather prefer not to be around spiders or any other bugs...

  • I don't even like ants let alone spiders! And it's weird cuz I let ants crawl up om my hands when I was a child.

  • omg i find spiders really cute & facinating especially the really mini ones ... the only ones i HATE are those daddy long legs i want to burn them all

  • really cuz if i had a gun and i was in a room full of spiders, i would use the gun to shoot myself! LOL!

  • haha NOOO there so fasinating :D

    but as long as you dont kill the spiders its all good with me ;) lol

  • see i mean, if i wasnt so god damn scared of them i wouldnt kill them. But u know, i never kill them, i make my family do it. if i come in close contact with one i will spaz out because it could be on me! Btw I love animals! i know so much bout them but bugs just get under my skin :/

  • hahah, one of the reasons i love spiders is because they kill other bugs!! id much rather have spiders in my house than flies. i love animals too, i just got adopted two of my foster kittens recently ^_^

  • I name the spiders in my room.

  • so do i!!!! i always name them dexter for some reason

  • haha aww!

    i prefer to just set them free or else i will get too attached to them :3

  • agreed!!!

  • I am so glad I am not scared of spiders anymore, because a lot of you sound like sissies. And I bet I did too when I was scared of them. :-P

  • this dude a pussy.. MY DICK STAND UP, wait, i mean L.A. STAND THE FUCK UP!!

  • That's really great! This made me even a little less afraid of spiders, ha.

  • If there's a spider on me I'll flick it off (not with my middle finger, lol) but if I saw a trantula or something I would freak out.

  • @sodacan3

    I think the tarantulas arent scary at all.

    It the bald, Hairless, and fast little house spiders that creep me out.

  • @ThyArtIsZach Have you heard of those spiders in the middle east that grow to be the size of dinner plates?

  • @ThyArtIsZach Same

  • @ThyArtIsZach daddy long legs... lol harmless

  • @ThyArtIsZach tarantulas look badass

  • I'd like to see psychiatrists get people to face their fear of death.

  • u know wen i was 8 i had a mental breakdown becuase of my fear of death. I did go to a scichiatrist and i totally dont care any more. The wierd thing is, we talked a little, and played board games most of the time...

  • Just looking at this video made me almost cry, Spiders just make me want to destroy it. I hate them so much. I can watch movies about spiders. Like Eight Legged freaks, but that's the closest thing that I will ever allow.

    I hate them so much.

  • i cant even see a lil spider i scream and cry and thrash...i would die if i had to even KILL one, let alone have one crawl on me. I cant watch this whole video im screaming so loud...its not even funny i get a prickling on my legs like theyre crawling on me...i have to check my bed evry nite b4 i go 2 bed...and under my bed for spiders...the thot tht i EAT 3000 spiders in my life makes me cry

  • Man, I was concerned for the safety of Brad...

  • @terser same here i kept thinking he would get squashed D:

  • I'm only freaked out by small spiders. Big ones that I can actually like see and hold don't bother me at all.
