WE HIT THE GOAL BUT LET’S SEE HOW MUCH MORE WE CAN RAISE!!

@charlotte ☁ all of us are😞

YEE YEE

@sierra a llpkk Ky pm Ok No

$27,005

PLEASE REVIEW "LOVE DIFFERENT!!!" It is soooo shitty. A friend of mine was in it, but he did pretty well. The rest was total shit.

The most realistic part about this movie is people being shitty for no reason while you are working in customer service.

And the church refusing to help. They had that money.

@Gretchen T The girl working alone at my subway got jumped by 3 people. They didnt steal anything just beat the shit out of her until she grabbed a bread knife and I think I heard she slashed one or two of them. Food service can be a combat position sometimes

Oh fucking BOY do I have some stories about asshole customers. Things they've been pissed off about include: 1. Running out of stock of the year's hottest items on the DAY BEFORE CHRISTMAS 2. Having a long line for returns/exchanges on the DAY AFTER CHRISTMAS 3. Not accepting a return for a product we had never sold (No, we can't give you store credit if the UPC has never existed in our database at any time, ever) 4. Not accepting a competitor coupon for gas for $.040 off per gallon (the sign clearly stated we only matched up to $0.20 off per gallon, we were willing to match that but not the full $0.40) 5. Not accepting a return for a pair of sunglasses the guy had clearly sat on and destroyed (one of the frames was bent inwards and the lens had popped out completely) 6. Not accepting a return for a week-old gallon of milk that was half-empty 7. Not allowing a customer to leave with a product she hadn't paid for because her check was declined (she had a 5-hour energy drink in her hand and the asst. manager called out to her as she was leaving, she turned around and threw it at their face) 8. Not replacing a damaged cell phone screen under warranty when we plainly tell every customer that the warranty only covers *part failures* and not accidental damage (this is also stated on the receipt that they sign which is a legally binding agreement) 9. Not agreeing to sell a product at (or sometimes even below) cost because "I'll give you guys so much future business" (MULTIPLE people tried this one) 10. Completing a repair *too quickly* (they had driven home and we called to let them know it was done as they were getting home, they got angry because they'd have to leave right away to come and get it) 11. Not having an obscure part for a six-year-old cell phone in stock (they did not call ahead of time to check and complained because they had six screaming kids in the car) 12. Not being able to sell them a computer that would never fail or become obsolete (she went on a 15-minute screaming rant about how Microsoft and all the computer retailers and manufacturers were in cahoots and it's perfectly possible to make a computer that will not need to be upgraded or replaced for 20+ years) 13. Offering cases and screen protectors for a cell phone after a costly repair (not the actual customer, but his friend said "If you try to sell my bro one more shitty overpriced add-on, I'm gonna jump over this counter and punch you") 14. Not being able to know ahead of time that a part is bad and delays a repair (can't test a camera until the phone is fully reassembled and then you have to start over again if the camera is bad) 15. Not having enough pickle slices - this is the wildest one, the guy said something along the lines of "I get extra pickles all the time, and this burger has SIX FEWER PICKLE SLICES than last time. Give me the name of whoever made this burger, I'm calling corporate and getting them fired for cheating me out of my pickles!" I worked in retail/food service for over a decade, and this isn't even nearly a comprehensive list of all the times customers got mad and/or violent over things that were either trivial or that the employees had no control over - these are just the ones that stuck with me. It's kinda sad that these all happened before it was commonplace for people to record Karens freaking out at underpaid service workers, because I could make a fucking killing on TikTok with all the shit I've put up with. I have since moved on to working in corporate/business IT roles and while I still deal with some impatient and unreasonable people, it's not nearly as bad (presumably because the person I'm talking to is almost never the person actually paying for the service) So yeah, ditto on the "people are unreasonably rude to retail/fast food workers" bit. 100% realistic.

@NaomiDollxoxo aw that's actually makes me happy that I can easily make someones day a little better by saying "thank you". Honestly, I always thought service workers needed that respect more than anyone. 👏 Common 👏 courtesy

@W_H_Y thank you so much for respecting service workers. Respect goes so damn far. You brought a smile to my face and I can say that it’s not unnoticed by housekeepers when this is the case at all. Housekeepers will remember kind clients many years down the road. It’s sadly shocking how many people treat housekeepers either badly directly or like they simply don’t exist. I’ve had to get some thick skin over the years standing up for my employees, myself, as well as any other employees that happen to have nothing to do with my own service. Most rude people aren’t expecting a stern response. Again thank you

Super realistic that a bunch of homeless ppl own expensive tents and left to live peacefully and aren’t being constantly harassed by law enforcement and businesses

@Danny Blantom Rich ppl: “We don’t really care that much about bridges and park benches. I’M certainly not going to be hanging out under bridges- but the SECOND someone who literally has nowhere else to go to be semi-comfortable I want it and I WILL have it.” Homeless ppl: “I was just trying to sleep.”

@Danny Blantom actually it's worse then that your taxes pay for spikes in bridges and arm rest on benches

@Hunter they might've had an expensive car when they had a home, and they probably sleep in the car as another person said.

@Tide Pod Pad Thai no they have really nice new big cars that cost more than some house I live in a area where houses are pretty cheap

@Hunter are you aware that a car costs less than a home??? they probably sleep in their car

The manager making Jack cashier and then just standing next to him telling him he's doing it wrong is such a manager thing to do, the most realistic part of the movie

"Hey can you man this register real quick while I go to the bathroom" "Yeah sure" ... "are you gonna go to the bathroo-" *"You're not doing good enough."*

I love how they glorify homelessness, like it’s not a real issue that people go through.

it’s sarcasm stupid

you love that? really thats what you love?

true dat

@erica bluth Truth. I was "houseless" for 2yrs. I've got a home now, but I still really struggle with bills and stuff I guess that's why I don't get offended by much Too stressed out and busy to be.

@Parker The Emo Skater Dude i used to be homeless we don’t really get offended by movies haha it’s cool

I'll give you a bit of the inside scoop on this film. It was written, directed, and produced by the director who also played the mean guy in the bathroom who shoved paper towel down the neck of Jack's penguin costume. He and his wife also did the casting. The director also edited the film... The casting was mostly done through cattle calls in NE Indiana. There was not a lot of direction going on during filming so that's the only defense I can give to a lot of the bad acting in the film. Nothing like "project," or "try that differently..." There weren't a lot of takes on the film either... meaning, each scene was only shot a few times...sometimes only 2-3 takes. I believe the budget was something like $10,000. The members of the cast were only given the scenes they were in. We knew zero about the film other than what we'd read in auditions and the scenes we appeared in. So there was no context given to anything we were doing. None of the actors were paid. Not even the leads. The leads were given... I think 2-3% of the proceeds of the film? Something like that. None of the supporting cast or extra were paid anything. They didn't even cater food during filming. Being on set wasn't much different than being in a community theatre production - except there wasn't any rehearsals. I've done a lot of theatre, playing leads and large supporting roles, and was extremely disappointed in my own performance. But again, we weren't getting much direction so none of us really had any idea we sounded or looked that bad. Wardrobe... came from our own closets...there was no costume department. There was very little to no make-up done. Props were off the cuff...no prop dept. So, again, 10K budget... very little direction... And an interesting tid bit... the mean mom and the fighting kids at the restaurant were actually the wife and kids of the actor who played Wesley. So... there's the dirt.

@Ganchos no fr who the fuck is Melvin I’m laughjng

@Brenda Paduch what

@512 he said he actually acted in it

Wow - that’s really interesting - thanks for the insider information. I don’t understand why the actors agreed to work for free. I was an extra in a movie once (straight to DVD, but starred Christopher Walken - but he wasn’t there on my day). It took 12 hours and I appeared for 2-3 seconds. We got “lunch” at about 10 pm and T-shirts printed with the working title and logo. It was fun and educational, but I wouldn’t do it again. I can’t imagine how much time you actual actors put in, and they didn’t even feed you! I’m sorry you ended up with a performance you’re not proud of, through no fault of your own. Are you in any of the clips shown here? By the way, I did get to meet the director, Anson Williams, who played Potsie on Happy Days, so that was neat. I’m old, and that was a show I loved as a kid, so that meant mkre to me than it probably would have for most people who watch this channel.

when you started saying "we" halfway thru the wall of text i got whiplash. then again there's 7000 extras in the film so the movie at least seemed populated and full

This movie is just rich people imagining what being poor is like and getting it completely wrong

I like that when he loses his job all his savings that any normal person would have just ✨disappeared✨

Oh nooo we can't host fancy parties and have cable Guess we mean nothing anymore 😔✊

@Cornelia Hanimann frr

@The Oblivitana Archives I was just about to comment that lol, remember when Tyra dressed up and put on make up to pretend to be homeless and since then she considers herself an advocate of sorts? It's wild😂😂

That one time Tyra Banks pretended to be homeless

I love it when you think you're watching a normal movie but in the last 5 minutes it swerves hard into being a Christian movie. A few years ago I watched this movie about a couple getting tortured at a shady motel. It was your average shitty horror movie until the couple escaped the motel where they met Jesus fucking Christ himself who told them they died in a car crash, and that the motel was actually Hell, and they were sent there because the woman had an abortion earlier that year.

Thank you vriska serket

@Mimi Kiki wait, you're right

@Generic Name this is almost like The Good Place XDD

that's horrible what the hell

"Couple gets tortured in a shady motel and then find out they were in hell" could be a good movie in the hands of a competent writer.

Fun fact: That whole "work for free for a week" part is actually, uh, *very illegal* (in the US, at least). Unless you are doing an internship through an accredited university or trade school program, or volunteering for a nonprofit, companies are *required by law* to pay you at least minimum wage. And even in unpaid internships, companies have to be *very* careful about what work you do - basically, if you are providing anything of value to the company (such as designing a shirt, flipping a burger, or yes, even tendering payment from a customer), then you *must* be financially compensated for it. The department of labor has very strict rules about what constitutes an internship vs. employment. This is also why many companies in the US have stopped doing unpaid internships - in *2015 alone,* Warner Music paid out 4.2 million dollars, NBC paid out 6.4 million dollars, and Viacom paid out 7.2 million dollars due to lawsuits involving unpaid internships. As a Smart, Professional Hardworking Bad Dad and Business Guy, Jack should fucking know this. In fact, he could have stood to make a fair bit of money trying to get people to work for free and then suing the burger joint. Homeless for the Holidays? More like Class Action Christmas, baby!

restaurants still do this kind of shit, they're called "stages". i once worked for free at a restaurant for a month on the promise of later employment like a jackass bc i was naive and thought it would make me look good to the prospective employer, who fired me immediately after that month for being 10 minutes late. it's illegal but the way labor is treated in the US and neoliberal capitalism as a whole, this kind of stuff happens regularly in many industries, especially food service.

Class Action Christmas has a nice ring to it lol. Thanks for the law enlightenment ✨

I was homeless for 6 years and I can honestly say that the holiday season was fucking excruciating for me at the time. If you are able to be safe inside with loved ones for the holidays you are truly blessed. And if there is any way you can help someone who does NOT have that ability it means so much more to them then you'll ever realize!

I have never had to be homeless, but i know how fucking hard ya’ll have it and i’m so so sorry the world did that to you. My family are lower middle class, but we save money to give christmas presents to a homeless person every year, and for around two years now i’ve been donating every time i see someone in need. Its fucking horrible that capitalism pushes people into poverty, and as much as many people think it’s the homeless persons fault, it’s not. It is NEVER a persons fault they’re homeless and it’s never okay. I wish the world had more people like my mother. I’ll just say i’m so proud of you for making it out alive :)) Anyway that was my lil rant bye-

Hey, I don’t know you but I’m glad you’re okay and I’m so sorry for what you had to go through. I hope you have a good Christmas this year

“They might not even be able to afford CHRISTMAS PRESENTS!” Screw food, heating, housing, medicine, etc. they need some Tickle Me Elmos.

Mad respect to that kid for trying to radicalize his dad

Even though he was emotionless, he was politically correct

@Emily Brooks honestly I understood em

@this is your alter life ????

@A form of matter and here we see in action the leftist? kid trying to educate his busy business dad (@tech issues)

@A form of matter thats Capitalism, china has a no nonsense policy and actually jails their billionaires unlike most western countries

When i was homeless i would literally sleep in a park, get harrassed by other homeless people walking by, keep all of my stuff in a shopping cart next to me while i slept, had to sleep on the concrete sometimes because of the sprinklers, and hid my blankets and pillows on a roof to make sure they wouldn't get taken and i didn't have to keep them w me all day, I'd get teased and laughed at, pictures taken of me, people recording themselves giving me a dollar, food thrown at me, all kinds of shit, i can't believe how its portrayed here

I hope karma comes for those garbage people. So disgusting. I'm glad you are doing better.

@AverageLadyGagaEnjoyer thank you I’m on my way to start going to school so I can have an actual career and better future haha everything is working out a lot better than I thought I’d ever see

@SalmonTonsils yup !

@Selena Rivas that's amazing, i hope everything goes well for you in the future :))))

People recorded themselves...giving you a dollar?

Every sentence Jack says has the same cadence as the fucking “I’m not at the beach, THIS IS A BATHTUB” guy

I wouldn't be surprised if they were the same guy lol

lmao why is that true 🤣

they kind a look the same to lol

This movie is very "I uphold the sexist gender roles that demand women stay at home, but I'm bitter that my wife doesn't work"

Underrated comment

Absolutely love the "Joseph and Mary were homeless" thing this plot hinges on given that they were just... travelling? They had a home???? But who am I to question such an *Unusual Santa*?

I want a Christmas movie about a couple desperately trying to find a hotel at Christmas. That'd be more accurate to Joseph and Mary's struggle.

@Manigeitora Jesus was pretty based tbh

Yeah, poverty as we see it now didn't really exist in the times of Jesus, because the world wasn't industrialized yet. Joseph was a carpenter, so he likely built their home and offered his services to others to barter for other goods and services, and carpentry certainly wasn't in low demand at the time. Lots of people had their own small farms and/or gardens and rarely needed to purchase or barter for basic needs such as food, shelter, and water. Sure, they were poor by today's standards, but anyone other than the richest people in the Roman Empire were poor by today's standards. There is even a line of scripture that states that even though he *was* rich, Jesus *chose* to be poor to show people the virtue of poverty: "For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though He was rich, yet for your sake He became poor, so that you through His poverty might become rich." 2 Corinthians 8:9

For those who aren't familiar with yugio terminology, "fuck this movie" implies that Kurtis is not enjoying the film

that sound right

@JayTheŠńåïł you wooshed the wrong person

Oh, thanks what it mean, thank you!

oh sorry i didnt know

Actually interestingly, that’s one of the kode phrases in the klown kode(TM)

"HE HAD REASONS" Jesus wasn't even born yet when he made his family homeless for the holidays - not sure a fetus had reasons for anything.

They weren’t even homeless! They went to another town to sign a census, and stayed in a farm because the inn was full. They still had a house to go back to. There is so much wrong with that scene.

I would make some points like how women can work and that homelessness isn’t like that but the people in this comment section covered that pretty well. I will say though that I was lied to: ice water does not cure depression

My grandma was watching this and she said “This movie actually has a great message!”

*Grandma was lost to the dark side*

Grandma no

why is everyone in this movie so classist and mean to each other lmao

@DarkRubberDucky yeah, Jebus Crisp told them to act like this!

🌈Christians🌈

Wait a minute... Did Santa’s curse cause the misprint and did he intend for this whole elaborate plot to happen... meaning that he knowingly HOSPITALIZED 200 PEOPLE just to teach ONE person to be more generous

Trade offer: I make this *BUSY BUSINESS BOY* more generous, you and 199 other people get hospitalized.

@gr0sie ds

as a catholic school girly, this is literally every story in the bible

that sounds very much like a christian god

Hey you can't make an omelette without poisoning a few eggs....wait that doesn't sound right.

One time a cop thought I was homeless because I had a shitty car with a backpack in the back. He wouldn’t let me park the car in a park next to my parents house, which I went to have a private phone call lol.

I love how the movie assumes that people would A: have any desire to inhale the fumes from their skin product in the first place and B: see the sentence “do now inhale fumes” on a bottle and just be like “well it told me to do it now so I guess I have to 🤷‍♂️”

Okay, so I know the kid wasn't directed to act well/can't act well, but his expressions are funny as fuck, and I thank him for his sacrifice (given that he's a grown adult now who probably looks back at this time at cringes). edit: honestly this kid just looks like he dissociates through every family interaction... and honestly? same

The son is like:" why is the only thing I can feel is pain?"

This movie went from based to cringe so quickly 😭😭 I almost thought it was going to be anti-capitalist but it was just "if ur homeless just pray lol"

As someone who was deeply invovled in the church for 20+ years, I can confirm that movies are, indeed, either Christian or normal.

@Neej na I’m chill, you do you tho fr

@Uncle that's metal as fuck😂

@Neej it really is a mystery to you why people are turning their backs on the christian church😂😂😂 Bro do you even read your own comment?

I wasn’t expecting to see you here Jo! That made me smile :) glad to have ya over on this side of YouTube!

Christian movies always suck

3:19 Is nobody else concerned that this Santa literally cursed someone (and by association, their entire FAMILY) to be homeless because that person didn’t donate ‘enough money’? I mean, how did the Santa even know it was being selfish? What if the guy didn’t have a lot of cash money on him? What if he had already donated to a different charity and didn’t have a lot left over? What if he was poor and didn’t have a lot of money to spare??

Yeah that happened to me a few weeks ago because I was approached by two people asking for money which is very rare in my town so I gave one homeless person $10 and the other person I only gave maybe $1-2 in change because I was almost out of cash.

THIS

Not to mention, people in Santa costumes would not be collecting money for a church. Santa Claus is an American recontextualization of an old European legend that's based *very loosely* on a real Bishop from the third century AD. People in Santa costumes almost exclusively raise money for The Salvation Army and similar nonprofits. In my experience at least, churches rarely send people out to collect donations unless they're doing a food drive - and that money's for the food, not for the church. They get plenty of money from the weekly donations from their members. Now, if they showed him being stingy with the collection plate at church every Sunday, that would make a lot more sense, and also remove the inconsistency of someone in a Santa suit being out in fucking September.

"homeless for the holidays" implies like being homeless is some kind of radical nature walk experience, like its something u can do over the summer to avoid the wintertime - i was *actually* homeless for the holidays and guess what bitches, its fucking depressing. especially if its ur first holiday being homeless, it sucks even worse while everyone around u is all cheerful and spending money frivolously, because they dont even think abt it, then get into a nice car and turn on some heat or an ac and live carefree. sorry but living underneath huge concrete bleachers and getting the fire station called on me to come and soak all my stuff down just bc i was trying to keep warm in the rain and snow, doesnt exactly inspire me to wanna watch a goddamn christmas movie abt it!!!! and what kind of knucklehead thought to themself "oh my god look at those people over there suffering on the street! imagine if we made a christmas movie completely mocking everything they have to go through!"

Seeing Santas in malls on September or November is actually pretty normal here- No joke we set up Christmas trees and decorations by 30th August as if it's a race. A mall a couple blocks away set up this huge tree on September 2 like it was the most normal course of action.

“Movies are either Christian or normal.” Then what on earth is Gooby?

The three genders Normal, Christian and Gooby

Art

normal, it’s the type of movie I watch all the time

Christian obviously

I still want a tee shirt with the quote from how did this get made "What is the nature of a gooby?" On it.

I’m homeless. It is the holidays and yeah, it is nothing like that. Kinda depressing and sad actually. Considering the many different ways that people end up in my situation, this “movie” missed a golden opportunity to tell a story that might actually mean something. But let’s forget all of my sad bulls$&!t and focus on how you somehow manage to put a smile on my face in an otherwise cold, unhappy, and depressing season. I appreciate you mister mayor. Merry Christmas. Edit: wow! Thank you all so much! Your support means more than you can imagine. Edit #2: somehow, this comment devolved into some asshat making light of my situation. Thank you for the pouring of support from those of you who sent well wishes but I was just commenting on how stupid this movie is, not looking for a fight. just keep donating and maybe say hello when you see someone who looks displaced. Merry Christmas.

@OptimistPrime69 homeless people of course have a right to have pleasure all I was saying is that I was not expecting them to be able to fulfill those pleasures

praying for you but also what did you use to type this comment no offense if it is something bad

@ricky s How would a homeless person get a job without a phone? Do you just want them to be homeless forever?

@Nafis Mubashir How dare a homeless person have any pleasure? If they watch YouTube for even 1 second, they are immediately a rich person. What kind of strange worldview do you have?

@PixelFoundry I'm guessing you'd probably give this person the advice to get a job in order to escape homelessness. How do you think a person could get a job without a phone?

Quarantine has broken me. I saw the Santa beard not covering his nose and I was like “pull up your mask!”

i got completely slapped in the face with the main character having the same first and last name as the old man from resident evil 7 and now i realize just how much more interesting a movie that would be

Resident Evil: Christmas Edition

Late to the party but singling out one guy and firing him for a mistake is actually pretty dang common. They just don't say it that clearly. honestly that's why I think Bezos stepped down. Too much bad press associated with his name but they didn't change company policies about bathroom breaks

I like how jack actually donated money instead of just walking away like some people would be he gets cursed still lmao

Why don't they curse the people who not only don't give money but also think they have the right to say rude shit to people asking for donations? Or curse all the rude people in that restaurant treating the main character like shit? Or that shitty manager? I would watch with popcorn.

@Your Friendly Online Stranger "Sorry, I can't donate because I just gave my cash to another charity. Merry Christmas" "I'm going to ruin your life, hohoho"

What about all the people who just don't carry cash? Does Santa take credit cards, or are they all cursed, too? And what if you don't have the money to give in the first place?

“Should’ve read Matthew 19:21, bitch!”

I’d argue the son is the best actor. He’s had to develop complete apathy to survive in this crazy family

Seriously, his apathy is such a damn mood-

The best representation of gen z’s concerns

memento mori

He was my favorite character.

momento mori 🖤🤍

Holiday for the homeless: Nice, calming, shows charity to those less fortunate than us Honeless for the holidays: *a threat*

in the boy's defense, if my mom started singing "joy to the world" i wouldn't be showing any emotion either- well, maybe one- annoyance- but that's it-

Kid: Dad, the wealth inequality has substantially increased since the neoliberal policies were placed. Also, due to regular economy crash and lack of labour laws, one can't even be certain that certain if he can keep his job and put food on the table. Dad: Yeah... but you know what that means? We must distract ourselves with consumerism as long as we can.

Man, this is accidently really a good representation of an abusive relationship. Seriously, that wife is *textbook* abusive. Also, I like how the movie tried to have an Anti-capitalist message by... Treading out the message of capitalism unopposed.

Listen, I know that boy has no emotion, but his expression after telling his dad about wealth inequality and his dad completely missing the point is a mood

That's the best part of his entire performance, especially because it's so realistic. I react the exact same way when someone misses the point about that stuff, which is usually because they're actively refusing to consider it.

LMAOOO I WENT TO HIGH SCHOOL WITH THE KID! His name is Cole and we went to a private Christian high school in Fort Wayne. He bullied me a lot, but it was mostly kinda just funny cause he was so small. I'm sorry to say, but he's super conservative. Like, hates gay people, hates women. He used to get in debates in our World History class over saying women shouldn't be allowed to vote. We're both adults now so he might be different now, but when we were kids he would have gagged at the idea of "socialist theory." God this is so funny to me.

I’m kinda a fan of the kid tbh.

@PinkPusheenPaws obviosuly different people have different experiences with brain thibgs but i also have adhd and i find that i have a bit of a hard time showing emotions on my face and voice even when im feeling things genuinely. for example, my friend got a job interview at a company she loves and when she told her i was so hapoy for her!! but whrn i told her how excited i was i felt like my voice and face just felt so Forced :’)) kinda rambly but nutshell is i also have adhd and feel you lol

I like the weird, emotionless, communist kid. He is the most relatable character.

It's awesome you put a fundraiser. My family is at risk of homelessness for the holidays. It's tough times!

I’m very sorry that you're facing this

the scene where the mom was singing and Kurtis was the emotionless son TOOK ME TF OUT.

Oh hey my dad did the “wait it out” thing abt our homelessness (for the holidays) and then my moms parents bailed us out of homelessness (for the holidays) and he blew the money on meth (for the holidays)

Wholesome. All the same, I'm really sorry.

As someone whose lived through homelessness for three years. I am legitimately offended by the portrayal of being unhoused. Like, it’s not a playful romp through a tent city in a park. My experience was getting mild hypothermia from sleeping in my car and bathing at truck stops before school. It wasn’t fun. And so many people fight homelessness all the fucking time and it really pisses me off.

Don't care

I agree completely. I was homeless and living in my mother's van at 11 years old, my brother was 9. My mother spent the whole summer and fall trying to find a job. This movie makes it seem funny. It's heartbreaking and terrible for anyone to be unhoused.

me and my mom were homeless for about a year when i was 8. it drives me crazy how homelessness is just treated as some sort of joke

💕💕💕

People romantisize being in shitty situations in hollywood all the time.

Craziest story I have for when I was homeless is the night I almost got shot. I was sleeping in a car and saw two guys fighting like 10 yards from my car. I just laid back and hoped they wouldn’t notice I was awake and watching. Next thing I know one guy ran to his truck after getting knocked down and other dude was running after him. Next thing I know other homie is running away. Now I lived in the hood, I know people don’t just run. Other dude comes around from the truck and has a whole ass colt 45. I laid back mad fast and just clutched my sword, my biggest comfort I’ve had since I was 12 and swordsmanship saved my life. Like 10 seconds later I hear the gun go off. Next morning when I get out of the car the bullet is in the door. I’m still convinced that the soul of my best friend saved my life that night. Being homeless is not some fun time that’s easy. It’s dangerous and is one of the worst times in a persons life

@Super Vegito that’s so good to hear! Stay safe friend

@Tahtahme's Diary new place as of first next month. That already makes me happy

It’s so scary out there, I’m sorry you had to go through that. I’ve been there, hope times are better!

I hope that you’re doing better now!

this whole movie has one poc in it that’s crazy

Quality Assurance and former Regulatory (labeling) specialist here: A company will _absolutely_ throw you under the bus if it was directly your fault that a bunch of people got sick due to your negligence. When the FDA comes cracking down on your factory, everything gets flipped upside down, everyone's in a rush to cover every @$$ that can be covered, and if they narrow it down to one person, that person (and probably their manager, possibly going way up the chain even to the VPs) is on the chopping block. If you put "peanut free" on something and some kid goes into anaphylactic shock and dies, someone's going to jail, and everyone's shouting "not it." At best, if no one's dead, the FDA will be breathing down your company's neck for years and the brand will lose public trust, and at least someone will be asked to resign.

Actually seeing a Santa in June wouldn’t be weird in the Southern Hemisphere. Because Christmas is in summer here sometimes they’ll do like “Christmas in June” celebrations. It’s just like a thing companies use to make more money.

The worst part is that they act like homelessness is some fictional concept and not something that real people deal with.

​@Glider Trio As a Christian I believe in hell and think some people absolutely deserve to go there. Definitely. There are some people who really need to go when they die. That does include most people who don't believe in God. Since most of them are assholes anyway.

@• As a Christian, I do believe hell exists, but I would NEVER want anyone to go there, never, nobody should have to go.

@Beanie Guitar Guy yes. not all christians believe in hell

Here “Big Rock Candy Mountain” is their totally real amusement park

the montage…

I grew up in a Christian cult and vividly remember asking my mom if Santa and god were friends. This answers my questions

Dude’s editing is 50% of the reason I’m always laughing

What I really don't understand is how at 3:20 He's cursed for not giving enough money, when he's clearly giving, like, a pretty generous amount. Those are clearly quarters, I hate to be a pessimist for the holidays but that's certainly more then most people donate to charity santas. They clearly want him to be a scrooge-like character so it makes no sense for him to donate money at all.

Imagine jack's son when he was born wasnt crying and just get an emotionless face, literal nurses going to be weirded out

To speak in Yugioh Terms: The writer for this movie hates his wife.

@her name was s u l f f f f f f u r 😒

@47Cartoonguy Clearly you've never seen the incel/MGTOW communities. They'll write manifestos on how media portrays men.

Not only that, the writer-director's wife plays an abusive customer, so I would not at all put it past him.

@Troy Lazarus ok and? Kuberic was married and had women on his sets, didn't stop him from including raging misogyny in his films

Actually, the Director's wife worked on the film during production.

Love how god/santa completely ignores all the other homeless people

kurtis should bring back the extra greeting only for the holidays as a little gift

that man is my hockey coach holy crap, this was the movie he was in 🤣🤣🤣🤣

“kick the neighbors dog” almost made me spit out my drink

Fast food employees being treated like garbage is the most realistic part of this movie.

Unfortunately 🥺

@Boogity Hoo they really don't deserve more than 7 an hour. Learn new skills and make yourself more valuable as an employee. It's not that hard to do. People are so greedy, it's not fair to pay a fast food worker 20 an hour when someone with tools, plumbing and electrical skills worked their asses off to make that.

@Riy Meep Oh my god there's such a large amount of people who hate when people speak Spanish and i don't understand

@Reed W. no we arent. The inflation is caused by many things. Im not sure if you noticed but there is a war going on in europe that is directly effecting the entire world with inflation and shortages. Like i said, the prices would not rise high enough to make the difference between a family affording a meal and not affording it. Inflation would be negligible at best since more money would be going into the economy. When rich people make all of the money the vast majority of it doesnt go back into the economy, they just hoard it. When workers make more they purchase local goods. Economics 101

@Anti-Theistocles if you pay more then inflation will follow. We are seeing this now.

The kid is acting well the kid is conveying how done they are with dealing with father

Eddie Redmayne has made a career out of talking so quiet no one can hear him

Imagine buying a face cream and there’s a warning label that reads “Caution: Holding your breath is recommended when using this product”. 😂

"Christmas is my favourite holiday" Me, being gay: can't relate

IMO thanksgivings worse but you might not be American and Christmas is bad too so 🤷🏽

Me, being gay: IT’s THE MOST WONDERFUL TIME OF THE YEAR (However I’m not Christian and have a small family)

@sadly_serendipity Ah, I see. Very sorry you have to go through that :/

@Nitrolord during christmas most families will gather together so you end up in the same house as your homophobic relative(s) for an extended period of time which almost never ends well :/

I may be dumb but why does your sexuality bar you from having Christmas be your favorite holiday?

This movie is basically just rich people imagining how poor people live.

Like someone said same comment as me I replied with: yeah I also asked that too lmao So idk what attack u talking bout

@My Namo ok one I never really cared or attacked anyone for copying a comment Two some people might copy comment for likes but others might just not have read it we can't read them all lol sometimes an idea popps into ur head and u just write it not checking if someone already wrote same comment its such a minor thing that like why would I waste my time checking if someone else also wrote the same thing

It really is! And the heartlessness in this movie proves it! I mean yeah there are shitty people out there who don’t give a damn about the people that suffer around them but there are other people who actually HELp and support those in need! Do the rich think that the poor eat each other alive on a daily basis?! Because there is such a thing as community and altruism, which are apparently foreign concepts to the writers of this movie.

Yes

@eiffie darkness Y’all are more annoying. When a popular comment gets copied, literally everyone in the replies attacks that person. Now it’s more annoying to point it out? Make up your minds. 😭

I can just imagine Kurt as a synthetic android and in the children's hospital and looking at the kids with cancer and going "these simply won't do" and pumping his pump-action shotgun.

Lmfao

“It’s okay to say Merry Christmas!” -someone offended by everyone having happy holidays

@K You understand how Kwanzaa and Hanukkah are different than Christmas. You understand that the holidays of minorities are not comparable to the most popular holiday in Winter.

@Manigeitora Not being allowed to say Merry Christmas on Christmas is pretty stupid. There would be major backlash if a company disallowed black/Jewish employees from saying "Happy Kwanzaa/Happy Hanukkah" on either holiday, should they choose to observe it. That double standard makes it glaringly obvious that the root of such "politically correct" movements are fueled by bigotry in it's self against people who profess to be Christian.

Oh my god as someone working retail during the holidays, I hated that shit so much. It was literally *company mandated* that we not say Merry Christmas because GUESS WHAT that's not the only religious holiday practiced in December! But how DARE we use an all-inclusive phrase instead of one specific to your faith, because we can totally tell if someone is celebrating Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, Yule, or Saturnalia, just by looking at them.

Oh my god. The old man at 19:49 sounds so much like my great grandfather. There is no difference in their voices. I was almost falling asleep to this video, and I heard his voice and just SHOT UP. Maybe my great grandfather is god.

i feel like my mother would get emotional over this movie

Hearing the script was written in three weeks has the same energy as Jake Paul saying he made a song in 24 hours. Its not the flex people think it is.

"I made a new phone in 12 hours!"

Rumor has it that the Jurassic Park 3 script was written in one weekend. It shows.

Ayyyy Serafina that’s my name too!

I mean the pilot for lost was written in less time

@Jose Noriega England is my city😍😍😍

ive only spent a small amount of time on the streets, but yeah let me tell you its nothing like "Camp Fun Time" like they portray it here lol. I definitely wasn't playing volleyball, I was trying to figure out how I was going to eat that day, and where I could find a safe place to sleep. This movie was pure ridiculousness.

This movie's script was written in three weeks. The script for Host was written in two and is infinitely better. Jesus.

Quite literally. Jesus

"YOU'RE NEVER AT HOME, YOU'RE ALWAYS WORKING!" [gets fired] "WE NEED AN INCOME!!" literally can't win lol, also i hate how working is demonized in these family films, i get family is important but you can't just decide to skip out on work to spend time with family lmao, if someone works a lot that's usually not their choice

Work is the problem in 90% of situations IMO. We would all be so much happier if we weren't forced to work.

I actually was homeless during Christmas once. I asked my parents if I could stay with them and they made me sleep on the floor of a storage closet.

That's awful. Sorry. :(

The ending was so stupid. Religion, often times, puts poverty on a pedestal. There's nothing virtuous about not having your needs met.

No, Christianity teaches that patience and humbleness bring you closer to God. And God is closer to the people who are suffering.

@HOLY ROMAN EMPIRE sorry, mistaken. There is no US government contract for services with the USCCB stating it is clearly a donation. Usaspending(dot)gov is the website listing all federal contacts. A search of USCCB (also listed under 8 other names) shows millions in refugee resettlement services among other public-private social welfare jobs the USCCB competes with other federal contractors for.

@HOLY ROMAN EMPIRE Baptist.

@Decrepit Elmo So? Since the reformation, so many Protestant denominations pop up that Christianity has become such a broad term that could mean people with almost any beliefs. Infact, there are even movements of Atheist Christians and Secular Christians. So merely stating that you were raised as Christian means nothing. This is just like that saying "oh, I went to a Catholic school. So I know what I'm talking about"

@Lisette García A business transaction that clearly states that it is a donation and the only thing they are obligated to do is to do what they claimed to do, which is, to give healthcare. The agreement permits those Catholic hospitals to provide healthcare in accordance with their conscience.

17:37 is that the music from Arthur that plays when they imagine the most exaggerated worst possible outcome of a situation? lol

"The ending takes a really sharp turn at the end" wise word from Kurtis

That Grandma's cookie tin analogy was perfection

hey kurtis, i’ve been having lots of anxiety and episodes of my AIWS and i just want to thank you for your humor and sacrifices to make these videos because they help a lot whenever i get in a bad spot in life. they give me lots of hope and joy! have a merry early christmas, love u :)

Is there anything better than Kurtis,Drew,Danny and Jarvis talking about Christmas movies

jarvis johnson

@afterelia agre

A really good book

No there isn’t

no

4:37 Beawtiful Bluw. Huh? But apparently still pronounced Beautiful Blue.. I also like the disclaimer "product may contain hazardous chemicals"

"He had his *reason* for what he did." He hadn't even been born yet what are you talking about

every month without fail I will have a few days of just endlessly watching kurtis then get bored and the cycle repeats pleasehelpitsbeenyears

Watch Vaush and Meat Canyon instead. You're welcome.

Rewatching, forgot this video was filmed during lockdown and thought Kurtis was just dissing people without families

that was the cleanest and most suburban white people homeless camp ive ever seen.

@• It's not all that hard. It's just a little extra work while you read. And, like any skill, you get better the more you use it

@Dreugh idk Some make it out to be like rocket science or something

@Abri_Saber If one party uses proper grammar and syntax to reflect their tone, and the other party knows how to read and detect tone (like most people can), it's very easy to tell tone over text 98% of the time.

@Bradley Williams Because nobody learns Author's Voice in English

Yeah being homeless is so fun yay, I haven't seen addicts and people with mental illnesses.

If Kurtis poured ice water on my face I would thank him.

Kurtis never fails to make me laugh hysterically.

"Get a job, we need a source of income." "So you want me to KICK THE NEIGHBOR'S DOG?" Gaslighting her rather masterly, I must say. So subtle.

Man, the Baker family from Resident Evil 7 were so nice before the game. 😔

Mold will do that to ya

I'm so glad I'm not the only one who noticed this!! I heard the name Jack Baker and laughed my ass off

i think my life goal is to become a terrible actress in movies like this just so i can see myself in a kurtis connor video

If anyone actually makes the discord, please drop the link

@TopHatCat999 sounds good lol- when we filmin ? 😂

@Sadie Dirden THE PICTURE IS PHOTOSHOPPED

Try to audition in Neil Breen's(?) or Tommy Wiseau's movie

just dropping this here in case someone actually makes a discord lmao

I could've gone my whole life without knowing Liam Neeson pees his pants. I'll never forgive you Kurtis. Great video.

Love that Kurtistown raised 26,000 for homeless youth ♥️

*westley is just in a silly goofy mood*

I just felt like I had to point out, a company singling out the employee responsible for something resulting in public outrage actually seems like something that would happen in real life.

y'all i watched this movie like two yrs ago omg. my mom kept watching random christmas movies and this just happened to be one of them.

For almost the first 4 minutes of this video, I struggled not to make a comment about how this guy is the off-brand Adam Sandler, and then you ended up mentioning that and also the fact that there's some Seth Myers in there too. Thank god I wasn't the only one

This is the AU where Jack Baker didn't marry Margarite and never took in Evelyn in the south

I’m literally DEPRESSED and this video made me happy for 20 mins
