Remember that dude who posted a video of his wife crying at the end of Return of the Jedi? Well, he has created a whole website. Of videos. Of his wife crying. Because basically he is YOUR husband.































“No, really, she’s cool with it, you guys, seriously.”
David agrees with Grace B. who “thinks Wife Crying After ‘Return Of The Jedi’ is Ew, Trashy & LoL“
whoops. I guess HUNDREDS of Videogummers all decending at the same time broke the website (for me). This voting in that last post ALL OVER AGAIN!
This guy is such an asshole. I refuse to take part in him exploiting his wife’s clear psychological and emotional issues for internet fame. He’s parading her around as some kind of circus freak while laughing behind her back when he should be working with her to get some help and maybe explore why she can’t watch a movie without collapsing into emotional wreckage.
Also:
“I only married her because she’s hot.”
Seriously, fuck that guy in his stupid fucking face. I hope his wife is sleeping with every one of his friends, his brother, his boss that he hates, and the divorce lawyer she just hired. Then, maybe he’ll be the one crying at an episode of Gummi Bears.
Seconded. Every last word of it.
while this is a dicky thing to do, her crying at the end of shitty movies does not = clear psyche issues.
Uhhh… What? Did you and I read the same FAQ on that website? Both parties seem perfectly able to laugh about this tendency.
but is she really laughing? or is she trying to be cool with because she doesn’t ever want to be alone again.
I think she is really laughing and I think we are all overreacting. This site looks absolute harmless. These two seem to have a healthy relationship with one major quirk, which they’ve decided to share with the internet. I honestly do not understand the angle of the monsters this time around.
There’s no way of telling whether they have a healthy relationship or not. Maybe they do. Maybe she is a perfectly normal, well-balanced adult who only loses her mind during movies – I’m not a psychologist – but I’ve seen this behavior before and it’s always indicative of deeper issues. I dated a girl who reacted this exact way to any movie with emotional weight, whether realistic or silly. She’d cry for a half hour if she saw a dead squirrel on the side of the road. It was a disorder that stemmed from issues deep in her psyche. I don’t want to say what they are, because even with the veil of internet anonymity, I feel I’d betray her by discussing it.
Bottom line: well-balanced, emotionally stable adults do not behave this way. Maybe I’m being too hard on the guy, which is what she said. Maybe she tries to laugh along with it because she’s deeply insecure and it’s the only way she sees to adapt.
I’m making concessions here because I don’t know nearly enough about the human brain to give an internet diagnosis to someone I’ve never met based on a short clip, but I’ll tell you what I do know enough about to give an internet diagnosis to someone I’ve never met based on a short clip: ASSHOLES. I can spot ‘em a mile away, and anyone who says “I only married her because she’s hot” is a smelly, damp, hemorrhoid-riddled asshole. I’m talking goatse-sized here.
On that, I stand my ground. Fuck that guy in his stupid fucking face.
Wow. How can I get so worked up by a fucking internet clip? Maybe I’m the emotionally unstable one. That Emotionally Unstable One, signing off.
you are mad
Yeah, what bit you on the golden leg?
(it’s an old saw. never mind.)
You make strong arguments. Fair enough!
fair enough. it’s not our business to police the internets. though they are putting their life “out there” for people to judge so i guess they should expect people with an opinion to opinionate upon them. Really, I have not taste for watching people cry so I?m going to stay away. And who knows? maybe sublimating their income with t-shirt sales will get them a trip to Rio taboot. Oh wouldn?t that be nice? A trip to Rio.
if we can’t get famous by exploiting others or embarassing ourselves than how are we ever going to get famous? Talent? Drive? Dancing? Fame is what is important not the road you travel to get there.
That’s why I keep leaking videos of your mom pooping…At least I’ll be on TV when they find th camera and arrest me. I might even make it to Tosh.0..and then you’ll love me. you’ll have to love me.
What’s interesting (depressing) about this is that she may have psychological issues, but they indeed stem from pathologizing her as hysterical…which of course has been a foundation of like the last 200 years or whatever. “He also creates media content for churches around the world.” So…
If this guy can make his wife cry while he throws trash on the side of the highway, I will give him 1,000,000 space bucks.
(bonus space bucks if she’s wearing a Native American headdress…)
I call bullshit. It’s TBS Very Funny (AM I DOING THIS RIGHT?) regardless, but fake.
I recommended Requiem for a Dream and Dancer in the Dark, so very soon this site will be Killing Herself Wife Dot Com.
Also, fuck this guy for his dogs’ names.
Come on. George ROLFington? That’s cute.
I meant ROFLington. (Crying Typo Dot Com.)
I can’t watch Dancer in the Dark without morphing into a puddle of emotion for half an hour afterward. I’ll be in the fetal position, bawling. I’d challenge anyone to watch that movie and not get at least a little lump in your throat by the final scene.
That FAQ made me tear up myself, but they were tears of RAGE.
What an asshole!
While I fully support crying at any point during a movie/episode of a television show/book (fiction or non-), because sometimes as we grow older we become better able to show our emotions, and further, holding back tears is stupid, especially around loved ones, this website is gross and these people are not emotional adults, not at all.
Well excuse me for having some genuine feelings and emotions while all you care about is your stupid video camera and these space movies about monkey people
I don’t even like these videos (they’re not very funny) but how is this morally different from Ricky Gervais and Steve Merchant making millions of dollars from podcasts about how stupid Karl Pilkington is? The subjects are genuine but they’re also self-aware and willing to participate. Not your cup of tea? That’s cool. But I fail to see how he’s a monster, monsters. Also, I find “I thought it was just going to be about robots” to be a humorous reaction to A.I., tears or not.
Bah, hate to announce my being a spaz, but I cry during, oh, 80% of the movies I watch. Its ridiculous AND funny. My boyfriend laughs at me and we both end up laughing. I’m not insane and generally am not so sensitive. I guess I just get caught up in stories and am a huge fucking GIRL.
i’m the same way.
when me and mr. caringiscool got together, i warned him about my excessive movie crying, and how there are certain types of movies i just don’t see because it’ll be embarrassing for everyone, but he didn’t really *get* it until he rented ‘the pianist’ and i only made it through about 15 mins. those nazis pushed that old man out of his wheelchair, off a balcony! I’M NOT MADE OF STONE! ‘saving private ryan’? ‘titanic’, with the old people spooning as the ship sinks? please.
anyway, i cry all the time, loudly, at every movie/tv show/commercial with a swelling score. much to my chagrin, i cried during the preview for the celine dion concert movie the other day. i’m a totally normal, well-adjusted, emotionally healthy person. i just have easily accessible heart-strings and they are very susceptible to tugs.
From the FAQs:
“Q. Is your wife insane?
”
A. Only 4 days out of the month
LOL! Guyz! Women have periods and they get moody and it’s soooo gross! Amirite? Amirite? I’m the best at being an adult! LOL!
Marley and Me is one of the movies? I haven’t watched it yet, but I’m assuming she slits her wrists in the end.
I’ll admit that I, too, cried at the first four hours of the ending of “A.I.”
