Reacting To Crazy Karens And Getting Really Pissed Off!
16m 53s
The video presents a series of extreme and offensive examples of what the speaker defines as "Karen" behavior, ranging from racial discrimination and dismissive attitudes toward disability to personal attacks on appearance, parenting choices, and service workers. The narrator details incidents such as a family refusing to learn sign language, a woman demanding white-only installers at Home Depot, a parent criticizing a child’s use of monkey bars, and a customer blaming a server’s pink hair and nose ring. Other examples include a racist mother-in-law attacking a Hawaiian person over expired coupons, a service worker being insulted for her style, and a parent falsely accusing a child with autism of being in a harmful environment. The content also critiques the absurdity of people making moral judgments on others’ behavior, such as music or affection. These anecdotes collectively illustrate how "Karen" behavior often involves entitlement, bigotry, and an inability to tolerate difference. The video ends with a call to action, promoting health and ticketing brands SeatGeek and LiveGood, while reinforcing the message that such behavior is not only offensive but deeply unproductive in real-world interactions.
Welcome back ladies and gentlemen, today we have a very special video.
Today we're going to be going over the most Karen things that Karens have ever said, okay?
I'm seeing all these things for the first time. Greg told me that I'm going to get pissed off, so I'm very excited.
Let's find out.
"My Karen sister won't learn sign language."
"My daughter is deaf. I have pleaded with my sister for her and her husband to at least learn very basic signs so they can communicate with their niece."
"Even their kids learn so they can communicate with their cousin, but my sister refuses and keeps saying she should just get a hearing aid and read lips better instead of me having to learn a new language with my hands."
You gotta be a real piece of shit to, like, someone's asking you, like, "Hey, this is your niece, wouldn't you like to be able to talk to your niece?"
"Tell her to speak English."
How is that the response, dude?
I wouldn't even let this woman near my daughter anymore.
I'd be like, "Yo, you're just like a fucking asshole."
Like, I get it if you, like, attempted, you're like,
"Listen, I just don't have the time."
"Listen, I just don't have the time."
"Listen, I just don't have the time."
"I'm very busy, so I'm not really good, but I'm trying and, you know, blah, blah, blah."
But just, like, not making the attempt and being like, "Oh, just get a hearing aid."
Like, fuck off.
Shut up, Betsy.
"Racist Home Depot customer."
Well, here we go.
We're here now.
"I work at the Home Depot and a Karen told me that she didn't want any black men to install her flooring."
Oh my god, dude.
"I told her that we don't select which individuals will install her floor and that she'll get who she gets."
"Based on availability that day."
"She proceeded to have a fit about it, demanded white installers, and then asked to speak to my manager."
"I'm so glad she did because my manager's name is Dwayne and he's a big black dude."
If this is me, I feel like I'll be like, "Oh, absolutely, ma'am."
"We'll send over just the whitest whites that we can think of."
"And then I'm sending 400 black dudes to your house to piss on it."
"And we're not installing your floorboards."
"We're ripping up the old ones and leaving a hole in your kitchen, you fucking piece of shit."
"Refrigerator Karen."
"I deliver appliances for Best Buy."
"We had a woman call and complain that her fridge was not pre-cooled before it was delivered."
"And that she had to wait over 30 minutes for it to get to the right temperature after plugging it in."
Are people just, like, not knowing what is the world?
Like, how the world functions?
And by the way, something very similar happened to me when I was working at a pizzeria.
I was working the register and I also answered the phones.
And someone called and was like, "Hi, I just got food from you and the food was great."
"But I ordered a bottle of Pepsi and it showed up and it wasn't cold."
And I was like, "Oh, I'm sorry, sir, like, you know, it's pretty busy tonight."
"So we're just kind of, like, it didn't spend too much time in the fridge because people keep buying them and blah, blah, blah."
And he's like, "Yeah, yeah, I get it, but it's just not cold, it's warm."
"Like, I just want, like. "
And I was like, "Okay, I'm sorry, like, you know, blah, blah, blah."
He's like, "Yeah, just, I don't know why you would say. "
And I literally, my manager was standing right here.
And I was like, "Put ice in your cup! Then it'd be cold! Put ice in it! Whatever the ice!"
And my manager ripped the phone out of my hand and he's like, "I'm sorry."
And he got on the phone.
"But yo, what's wrong with people, bro? You want your fridge to be pre-cooled? For what? What's that gonna do?"
Bro, 30 minutes is also a shorter amount of time than I thought it would take to cool an entire fridge.
Oh my god.
You know what? I would be like, "You know what? We're sending someone over right now."
And then I would send someone over and then I would put her in the fridge and I would lock it.
And I'd be like, "There you go. Enjoy your fridge. It's gonna be free."
It's freezing now.
The geography, Karen!
I hate to say that my mother-in-law is a Karen.
I wish I knew before I married my husband because, no lie, it's a potential deal-breaker.
I went shopping with her recently and her coupons weren't working.
Oh my god, dude. I'm already sick.
I don't know what it is and I get that, like, this is like, you know, probably the efficient way to shop.
But nothing pisses me off like a coupon.
I absolutely fucking hate it.
It's just one of the worst things.
Like, wait, hold on. I got a coupon for that.
I got ten coupons so you could save $8.
That was on Rice-a-roni.
The employee showed her that they were clearly expired for over a year.
She became furious and said, "This is why we aren't letting you people in the country anymore."
Oh my god.
The boy said, "I'm Hawaiian."
"I'm Hawaiian and was born right here in this town."
Then my mother-in-law said, "Yeah, born here illegally, I'm sure.
I bet your parents were born in Hawaii and snuck across the border."
Forget about a potential deal-breaker.
This is a. I can't even think of a bigger deal-breaker
than this.
If I was with my partner's mom and they were being outwardly racist
to someone who worked in a fucking supermarket or something
because your coupon didn't work,
I'd be like, "Dude, why would you even put me in the same room as someone like this?"
You know? Like, if you're okay with me being in the same room
or, like, out on a shot. Like, warn me that I'm dealing with a fucking psychotic racist
if I'm taking them to the supermarket.
The lady is yelling at Hawaiians
in the supermarket over coupons
that we shouldn't be using
in the first place.
You did arts and crafts and you cut this out of a magazine
a year ago and you held onto it?
That's psychotic, dude.
You're supposed to lose coupons
if you cut them out a year ago, alright?
What an insane thing.
Yeah, no, I'd be very pissed off.
This would be a deal-breaker.
I'd be like, "Yo, I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. "
Like, I'm getting out of this fucking racist family.
It's ridiculous.
Or I'd be like, "Yo, I'm never going to see your parents again."
Unless your mom just doesn't talk
because this is insane.
Monkey Bar Karen
was at the park with my daughter and she used the monkey bar
halfway through, she fell off.
She was fine and got right back up.
As soon as she was up, another mom ran over to her,
got in her face and started saying,
"You should not use the monkey bars if you are not ready.
This is not a smart thing to do."
I almost strangled the lady.
See, this is the problem and this is like the most Karen thing
I think in the video so far.
We've just been dealing with racists, to be honest with you.
But like, this is very Karen because it's like,
"You shouldn't use the monkey bars if you're not br-"
Get the fuck out of here.
What are you, the park police?
Get out of here.
It's called practice.
How is she going to get better at the monkey bars
if she's not, like, she's, this is how you get ready, lady.
You practice and I'm fine.
I'm not doing back flips and landing on my head
and I have a broken neck and I'm attempting it again.
It's monkey bars, relax.
That, to me, is like the most Karen thing,
with people who can't mind their fucking business
and it's just like, bro, this is what kids do at the park.
They climb shit, they get a little hurt,
they scrape their knees, it's good for them
to scrape their knee every once and again, okay?
I understand you got to protect people,
but their parent is right there.
Let them be a parent.
All right, if my kid's on the monkey bars,
he falls up and he's like, oh, and I'm like, are you good?
He's like, yeah, I'd be like, all right, do it again.
Like, that's normal.
Don't get on the fucking monkey bars.
Jesus, relax, lady.
All right, before we continue this video,
we do have some sponsors, the first one being SeatGeek.
SeatGeek is where you're going to want to get all your tickets, okay?

It's the only ticketing app that I really use.
I love how they show you what's a good ticket and what's a bad ticket.

If it's dark green, that means it's great, okay?

Because, you know, 2025, I am making this the year

One of those things that I'm doing is trying to take more supplements.
I never really got into that in my life, but, you know, taking a multivitamin or, you know,
doing some nice plant-based protein powder or, you know, an organic greens or whatever that is.

vitamins throughout your day, that's what I'm doing, all right?

Formulated by an industry-leading team of natural health experts, and they cut out the middleman,
so they have the lowest prices that you can think of, okay?
And I got my hands on the organic greens that they have and the plant-based protein.
I always try to go plant-based protein.
It is better for me, personally, on my stomach.
They also have, like, multivitamins, collagen, weight-loss products, protein powders, creatine detox, stuff like that.
So they have a bunch of stuff.
They're the fastest-growing supplement brand on the planet, over 1.5 million
customers and counting.

The Chili's, Karen.
This is going to be a goodie, I am sure.
I'm a server at a Chili's.
I had been serving a woman and her family for over two hours, and the woman was giving me attitude the entire time.
I was trying to be friendly, but she was being dismissive and rude.
At the end of the meal, they left no tip.
As her family was walking out, I asked her nicely,
if there was a reason no tip was left.
I would just like to know if there was something wrong with my service.
She told me that my pink hair and nose ring set a horrible example for her two children,
that she didn't want them thinking they could treat their bodies like dumpsters when they get
older i told her i'm sorry she was offended by my style choices and she said i'm sorry you treat
yourself like a pathetic pig all right i know that i like i was on a hot streak at the beginning
of this video about physical violence and i you know i i think in looking back i apologize for
that but this one we should kill there's no way and like yo kudos for this girl to like keep her
