I know, right?
SWEETS FROM BONES AS A BABY GEEK (or Freek)
There is nothing he can’t make a little better.
freek hug
Just replace Taylor Swift with this kid:
I am so sad now.
Damn, it feels good to be a Monster.
Well. Can’t blame a guy for trying…
Oh geez. I’m sorry. This just made me super sad. I think parents need to add another awkward speech into their repertoire. Now instead of just the Birds-And-Bees and We’re-Getting-Divorced speeches, they also need to have a Stay-Off-Youtube speech with their kids. Maybe it’ll save at least a couple of people from the hopeless shit storm on there.
Ugh, this video made me so sad, too. I couldn’t even get through it. I just want to give this kid a hug and tell him to return to the anonymity of real life.
for reals. poor guy, doesnt he know its only going to get worse if he keeps posting?
Not to be an old grump about kids these days, but WHY OH WHY do they think it’s a good idea to put every thought that comes into their heads on the interwebs for the whole world to see? At least back when I was his age (early Victorian era) I could only embarrass myself in front of, at most, my school. I hope this poor kid is homeschooled.
Honestly. Whatever happened to having a diary with a lock on it that your brother would try to pry open with a screwdriver and then, when he succeeded, just taunt you about having a crush on Jason, which you deny, deny, deny until you start crying and run into your room screaming that you’re never coming out again, not even for dinner?
Go back to the simpler times when we just played Snood in 6th grade kids
Or you get an assignment to write a poem about your life and you just lay bare how awful and hateful all of your classmates are to you, and then find out you have to read it in front of the whole class (with your big JC Penney glasses and your Dollar Mart clothes on) and it’s awful but the teacher MAKES you and you go before the cheerleader but after the boy you have a crush on, and then the teacher doesn’t even stop them from making fun of you at FULL VOICE, and you’re, like, 12?
Well, at least it isn’t on youtube.
Oh, BF, my heart bleeds for you. I like to remind myself periodically, when I get embarrassed about stuff that happened 20 years ago, that everyone else in my peer group was so obsessed over their own embarrassing moments that they don’t have the brain-space to remember mine. Even if it’s not true, it makes me feel better.
I like this.
Baby Friday, I love you!
(This pic seemed appropriate to reuse)
Oh, I’m actually hot now and have nice clothes, plus two degrees. I have a wonderful, funny, handsome, intellectual husband who likes my poetry, a beautiful home, a great job, and fabulous friends.
So it has a happy ending.
Well I have a million dollars and a time machine SO THERE!
Yeah but does your time machine fit in your GOLD CLOSET inside your DIAMOND HOUSE?
I didn’t think so.
No, but do you have bricks of cocaine shipped to you directly from THE FUCKING MOON?!
Check and mate.
Now I recognize you! You’re my moon coke delivery man.
This kid looks like Coppercab’s little brother.
“LEAVE MY LITTLE BROSIF ALONE!”
“Why can’t we all get along?” – as reprised by Coppercab’s little brother when he won’t allow him on the XBox
It gets Bieter
It gets Bieber?
This kid has had enough snark thrown his way, so I’m going to give my remaining time commenting time to Corgis.
Sometimes I feel like that roomba is the world, and I am a confused kitten, just hangin’ on for dear life.
Oh no! Not the Black Eyed Peas again.
That episode deserves an Emmy.
Woah. Not only is that one of the greatest gifs of all time, but you’ve blown my mind with such insightful words. Also, I fucking love kittens.
Even with 2012 around the corner and all, this Gif made my week so much more bearable!
We should send him an evite to Videogum.
I know. Do we have some sort of sensitive-internet-commenter-secret-phone we can use to call him and say, “Com in here. It is safe”?
“Watch us. Learn from us. We were once like you.”
Correction: “We are STILL like you.”
We all get to a point in our lives when it’s just not worth the heartache that comes from dwelling in the more hateful corners of the internet. In a place that allows for an almost totally customizable atmosphere, why torture yourself on youtube? I guess that just comes with being a grownup.
And that is why Videogum is the very best place. Because we know what counts.
Patrick M up there has given me an idea–we should make a Vgum “It Gets Better” for geeks.
It Gets Better For Geeks
FLW, you nailed it.
It Gets Better for Geeks: The Microsoft Team in the 70s
I would like to say that this kid shows an unusual amount of poise. To be that young in the global-garbage-world that we live in and be comfortable going on YouTube and saying, “I might be gay, I don’t know yet. Just leave me alone and let me figure my life out” takes some guts.
Kid, I salute you.
Kudos to this kid for being incredibly introspective and thoughtful. It’s only a shame he grew up in an age where people feel like it’s important to share that introspection with the worst (Youtube commentators) that humanity has to offer.
There is something noble about it though.
“I guess this is just another lost cause, Mr. Paine. All you people don’t know about lost causes. Mr. Paine does. He said once they were the only causes worth fighting for. And he fought for them once, for the only reason any man ever fights for them; because of just one plain simple rule: ‘Love thy neighbor.’… And you know that you fight for the lost causes harder than for any other. Yes, you even die for them.” –Mr. Smith Goes to Washington
You truly are the best, Mans. I don’t even know how you do it.
Whoa! My upvote was worth 5 upvotes! I know that’s just because other people have upvoted since I loaded the page, but it was nice to see it pop up like that because I think your observation about this kid is exactly what i was impressed by. Mans, you be the mans.
I hope this kid grows up to kick all his tormentors’ asses at LazerTag. And life.
I hope this kid grows up and makes Andrew Shirvell his butler.
I have said it before, and I will say it again: I am immensely glad that the internet did not exist (at least, as it is now) when I was a kid. Because I know that had VG and YouTube been around in 1994, I would be up there, defending Green Day.
In the meantime, kid, if you stumble upon this comment, the internet has a short history, and above all, don’t let ‘em bring you down.
You said it, little guy. (And also LBT.) I’m gonna make this kid a tshirt to wear to school:
(Also, Green Day is cool. I would have been yelling and crying about Chesney Hawkes. Who? Exactly.)
“FUCK YOUR METAL MUSIC”
Ha, I totally meant this one. So many Bieber gifs!
I’d also like to commend the Videogum community for not yet making a “LEAVE BRITTANY ALONE” reference. Thumbs up, y’all.
Oh, wait…
LEAVE “LEAVE BRITTANY ALONE!” REFERENCES ALONE!!!

I just want to give this kid a big hug. It’s true that posting the video was ill-advised, but children make mistakes. Let’s Videogum Everywhere ourselves over to YouTube and offer him a healthy mixture of support and advice on video posting propriety!
Yes. Hugs all around.
Done.
this kid’s mom needs to stop teaching us how to pick up European Men and start being a mom.
Stop calling people fags, jerks who call people fags. Haven’t you been paying any attention to the internet recently? We are trying to change the way we bully.
Also Justin Bieber, you owe this little fanatic a personal letter of hugs and self-esteem.
“Goodbye.” *Deep sigh.* “Stuff.” That whole thing made me profoundly sad, but the last four seconds…just brilliant.
…and the tenderness with which he said the word “fuck”. he didn’t want to have to use it, but things had just gone TOO FAR.
oh my. young man, please stop worrying about the feelings of Justin Bieber. His name isn’t even auto-correctable yet. (I see you red line but I’m right!)
If spellcheck doesn’t recognize him, then he can’t be that important. (Also, spellcheck doesn’t like the word spellcheck, so it’s also pretty irrelevant.
fake and gay?
(I’m sorry. Someone had to say it. If you hate me, please scroll up and watch the Corgis run. They make everyone happy. Thanks.)

Trololololololol
People have GOT to stop reading YouTube comments. WHEN WILL WE LEARN GUYS?
when I read youtube comments, I start to get really confused because I have SO MANY GIRLFRIENDS.
We had this kid in my state who killed himself because he was gay and they internet found out and that is the fucking saddest shit ever. That’s really all I have for this one.
I still hate Justin Bieber.
He’s not NECESSARILY my boyfriend? Keep on digging kid! Eventually you’ll hit china, and i don’t think they have youtoobz there.
