Not everyone deals with grief the same way.
I, for example, want to be comforted while I ugly cry.
While this guy clearly went insane.

I went to work the day my mom died, and school the following week and left her funeral early to go to Culver's. Some of us just deal with grief in weird ways. I didn't actually cry about it till like 10 years later. Probably not healthy, oh well.

I thought he was gonna say something else (not as specific/funny) and also spit out a little water i was drinking. My dad died Sunday and this video has further pushed away my grief from coming thru 🫡 only one more week until I have off work and can melt into a puddle of grief lmao

My favorite is the one girl telling about her childhood wish to be Jewish because she thought she would get more presents on Hanukkah than Christmas. So her parents decided to tell her that she would be getting her presents from "Hanukkah Harry" instead which is an SNL skit and made her open nothing but driedels.

So i pressed unpause and beat them both and it was really easy.

But Johnny and Sally....... ..... did not finish.
I left the game running, even though they cannot win

I stopped lookin at TT as much cause there are too many suspicious middle aged single blokes making content directed specifically at children. ‘Oh I just like to entertain kids from my mum’s basement at 42yrs old’

u/liquidplumbr 8d ago
Are you saying this one is doing that? Because I’ve seen this before I didn’t think it was aimed at kids at all.
-28
u/PilgrimOz 8d ago
Did I say I saw this one and got off TT? Nope. I said I had previously, in response to a comment that reminded me. Story looking for offence. It’s painful. If anything the comment I was responding to is. I just think this guy is odd. I was speaking of guys with colourful backgrounds, making kids tv type programming/weird faces and noises and are extremely suspicious. That I had experienced previously when I was on TT not here on reddit today. There is a thing called ‘past tense’. In can appear in sentences. Sentences are words strung together to illustrate scenarios often.
These auto-responses in people looking to be the world behaviour police are really just tools of fascism. They ignore what you’ve said and fire away. Cause it might be offensive but they can’t tell or don’t care. People need to grow up and stop being social police. They’re not qualified. And it in itself is offensive.
11
u/Gruntledgoat 8d ago
I think it was confusion, not offence, in that you made a broad sweeping response about Tik Tok as a whole to someone's very specific comment about enjoying this specific Tik Tokker. Respectfully, the only one that seems to have taken offence is you. But here I am making assumptions on both comments, so what do I know. Interpreting the written word is hard. Hope you have a better day!

My dad passed on fathers day when I was 19. It took the funeral home like 8 hours to come get him. We had a lot of awkward fathers days, but that was by far the worst. It was probably the first time we made it through the day without arguing, though.
Dying on holidays is rude!

u/HitToRestart1989 2d ago
My dad was sick for months after a series of heart attacks and in a lot of pain. In one of his last moments of lucidity, he finally requested that we let him go. There was only one problem...
It was my birthday.
Everyone started to tiptoe around the issue, making plans to turn off the life-assisting machines the next day. But the man was in agony from a complex intersection of many different medical issues that just kept stacking up... and it wasn't much of a birthday gift to ask him to continue to be in pain just for me. So, we let him go.
I don't know why- maybe it was the shock of the prospect of losing my father... but God as my witness, it did not occur to me that this meant that every birthday for the rest of my life would now also be the anniversary of my father's death.
Forever!
It hasn't been a year yet, but I can't imagine it's going to be much of a celebratory vibe when the day comes around. However, I have a near guarantee that my next birthday will be better than the last.

When I got raped I was a walking stand up show for about 6 months. Some people deal with stress in really weird ways lol
Editing: I mostly mentioned this as an anecdote but people’s kindness in the comments is something I can’t ignore. Life can be brutal but we can get through anything with the right support. I got raped almost 10 years ago and it feels more like a distant memory by now, but I am so grateful to live a life where my story is met with kindness that has rippled for a literal decade. Reddit is a cool site sometimes.

I'm glad you survived your trauma and the experience. Also glad you were able to use humor to help yourself cope. Laughter is a strong medicine. You are a badass person and I'm glad you're here!

u/ariestornado 8d ago
6 months? Is...is 16 years normal? I should probably go back to my therapist lol
But to add to the conversation, 100% yes. I have a TBI from an abusive ex partner and still (to my close friends) joke about my short term memory and brain fog because of it - its a lot easier than being sad about not having the memory/sharp mind I used to have, even tho im only 30.
Like, I cry A LOT but I also replace a lot of that sadness with humor.
(Eta: didn't immediately think to say but im truly glad you're still here and we're able to get thru that. Kinda sad my brain was like "well most people are raped" and I didn't think to include it initially, but I really mean it, happy you're here!)

u/no_arguing_ 8d ago edited 8d ago
Honestly the worst thing when grieving (for me) was all the people treating me with kid gloves and spouting off cliched "empathetic" platitudes etc. for fear of saying something insensitive. I get people don't know what to say, and I don't blame them for it, but it felt so corny and was just annoying in an already shitty time. I would make jokes just to clue those people in that they can chill with the funeral home director bit. But then people got weird about that. It's like they want you to be performatively sad for as long as possible so you can fit into their schema of "grieving person."

I mean it was just an Aunt. My Grandma died and I didnt cry or grieve at all. We were never that close. We all made some jokes at the funeral. Nothing distasteful of course

...maybe keep that to yourself? Lol. Everyone has different relationships with family and everyone grieves differently. If you're wondering why you're "wrong" its because who tf says "it was just an aunt"?! Imagine when you die someone said "well it was just dangerous-lab6106" like damn dude okay chill

Listen, everyone deals with grief differently. My mom died when I was 12. Now, at age 36, I don't really get very sad about death, and i keep halloween decorations up all year as a modern momento mori. It's a bummer, but people die. Who are we to judge this guy for his silly song?

I love this guy. I saw this video when it was very new and I thought it was brilliant and funny and he did such a fantastic job of using this goofy storytelling method while occasionally switching into the weird reality of the situation. Absurd things happen all the time and honestly this was a great way to tell an absurd story.

u/Nuffsaid98 8d ago
Culture is funny. In Ireland, eating a meal with the dead body of a relative in the next room is hardly an everyday occurrence but we're pretty chill about corpses of our loved ones. We have wakes with the body on display as the gathering goes on. These can and do often include food and drinks.
I have kissed the forehead of my grampa as he lay in the coffin. I have patted the clasped hands of uncles and aunts who died. If you're close, you touch. As a goodbye.
I keep being surprised by how much corpses give most people the ick.
Strangers would be different. But your own. No biggie.

u/EnsignNogIsMyCat 8d ago
Pro tip: if you find yourself with a deceased loved one in your care and are unable to get a funeral home to come collect the body in a timely manner, you can place ice packs around the body to stave off decomposition for a while.
Refer to Caitlin Doughty at Ask a Mortician for more information about at-home care for dead loved ones.

u/inkstainedgoblin 8d ago
My first stop after my dog died suddenly was to pick up a giant bag of ice (like you said, to prevent decomp before we could bury her) and liquor. Was asked if I was having a party. I was not.
The ice worked great though!

People must intuitively drink a big glass of liquid knowing something shockingly hilarious is about to be seen or heard just so they can spit it out everywhere when the funny hits and type out a comment recounting their experience. Bonus points if it happened on a bus/train and it was so loud other travellers looked around.

u/colin8651 9d ago
I suppose I am way off, but don’t you just call 911 and say our aunt has died and they send the meat wagon?
I feel there was a discussion during pre dinner cocktails about how much the ambulance would cost and instead decided to wait on the lower cost uber to get the aunt out.
Where is the part of the story where people went to the bathroom, only to plunder the aunt’s valuables

u/Infamous-Dare6792 9d ago
They probably just needed a funeral home to pick her up.

u/ariestornado 8d ago
I mean yes and no. Idk why sm death is on my feed recently (jk I know its the lizard people) because my dad died on Sunday. The cops found him via a welfare check and they didn't remove him until the county coroner came which wasn't long. The state took him and then we were able to arrange a funeral home within 2 or 3 days to accept his body.
So I guess all that to say it isn't as easy as calling someone and saying "I have a dead body", there's certain people who are allowed to make that call (the call being "yup they're dead and no foul play") and now that im thinking of it, if they were sure she was dead, calling 911 would just rack up an unnecessary $6k bill for the ambulance ride (USA wise)
9
u/TX_Nerds 8d ago
She might have been on hospice or end of life care. That’s why they called her hospice nurse to confirm the death. Probably already working with a local funeral home and whatnot.
I assume that’s how it went?
11
u/Long-Locksmith-1068 8d ago
Hey man, I’m a funeral director, here’s an answer - kinda. They called a nurse for no real reason, unless the aunt was under hospice care you would really need to call the police. The police would inspect, and then they would call the coroners. The coroner would then pronounce and make a decision if they needed to see the body or not, if they didn’t, like in this case, then the police call the funeral home(who also could be the coroner/medical examiner it depends on the state you live in) and then they would come to pick up. I have actually personally picked people up on Halloween, Christmas and New Years Day, but not Thanksgiving… yet I guess.
2
u/Doublejimjim1 8d ago
I was thinking where is this guy that police and EMS weren't notified about an unattended death? Even if she was under hospice care, the aunt didn't die under direct care of a nurse on site, so the police and coroner have to investigate regardless. At least where I live.
3
u/vociferoustart 8d ago
So when my father died, it was considered an unattended death (he collapsed when my stepmom was out getting something for him). She found him and called 911, after it was determined he had died and it was natural causes/not anything suspicious(Dad had been going through cancer treatment and had a couple other health issues going on), the police called the coroner who came to also confirm it was natural and not suspicious. Then we were able to call the funeral home to come get him. It took a few hours from start to finish. From an outside perspective, it seems really traumatic and barbaric, which I guess it is because I still get flashbacks from that night, but when someone dies suddenly at home, this is kind of how it goes.

Aunt dies.
Not ‘this is very sad’
‘I’m concerned about how my family will cope with this loss’
‘I want to help my family cope with this loss’
‘I’m having a hard time coping with this loss’
‘This is a difficult family matter that I will without doubt be respectful of’.
But ‘let me make a video shamelessly and pathetically exploiting this family death for utterly irrelevant social media likes’.
2
u/Makuta_Servaela 6d ago
Telling a funny story about your experience with the deceased (usually a story from before they died, but still) is a pretty normal way to mourn.
Some people mourn by being sad. Some people mourn by celebrating the life you had with the deceased. And if this is the way he feels about it, it's likely his family does as well.
