The Greatest Freakout Ever.

Post Reply New Topic

Has anyone seen this series of videos on youtube? A brother films his teenage brother having temeper tantrums over minor issues, such as his mom cancelling his World of Warcraft subscription. The videos say that the brother does not have any mental issues but watching the clips I can't help but wonder.

Has anyone else seen these? thoughts?

I've seen a couple, and yes, they are insane. There is a video of a German kid freaking out over Counterstrike that is pretty bad as well. Unbelievable how far some people are removed from reality.

Hehe funny. But I can see how that can be major. My mom took the computer away from me for three weeks when I was 17 and I felt something big had been taken and I felt desolate. I stimmed more and was more irritable and more depressed. I tried to do other things to distract myself by watching B&J or playing video games but it wasn't the same. The feelings were too strong. But my dad made the whole thing easier by letting me be on the computer and telling me to clear the internet history when I am through.

Now I can't even take this seriously about aspies when they act this way about their obsessions because normies do this too.

I seen a video on youtube about a woman having a meltdown at the airport and I knew she was mental. It even made it in the media.

I think it's mean to take movies of people having these episodes and posting them on youtube just so everyone will watch them and have a good laugh. And they say we aspies lack empathy. I admit it's something I might do with one of my enemies because I don't care about them and choose to lack empathy for them. When someone pisses me off, I find it fun to piss them off and watch them get mad. I have some mean streaks in me. My husband knows to watch out or else he could end up on youtube

Oh I wish you posted a link to that video, you got me curious. Okay I am maybe being a hypocrite for saying this.


EDIT: I think I found it

It all looks fake. Not how I'd act if something big was taken. I didn't act that way when my mom took the computer from me and I don't act that way during my meltdowns. It all looked silly.

That German kid faked it, he gave an interview about it and if you know the game's terminology (and German) it's easy to notice something's off.

Oh yes, ive definitely seen this and I actually thought that this was real but then I looked deeply and found out that the video was fake and only was to do it for the fame of YouTube and eventually ended up on London's tv show called "Rudetube"

I think all of it is fake. It just looks unreal. I viewed some of the other videos and it just looks fake. But the whole thing is funny.

I even went to the website and read the forum there about people posting their outbursts moments. Some of them are actually funny. Sometimes we look back and find what we did and find it funny and we share it. It's more like "I can't believe I did that" laughter.

I would say one of my freakouts was getting mad at my ex for being rude to me on the phone and some other thing he did and I came on here and kept making posts about him trash talking him. This was in 2007 under my old account. I knew he came here so that's why I did it. I dunno if he saw them or not but I didn't care. But once I got over it, I stopped talking about him a lot.

I watched one where the brother canceled the kid's myspace. I think they are exploitative and youtube should take them down.

I've seen those.
If it's real then it's cruel. If fake then - nice acting, had a good laugh!

I think I saw that one.





I think the acting is horrible. That's why I think it's fake. It looks over the top and exaggerated. Plus the kid doesn't sound real angry. I'd be shocked if they were real.

fakes but amusing

I don't think they are real, either... I mean, initially the person MIGHT actually be mad, but to be doing all of that with a camera aimed at you, it's hard to believe it's 100% real and part of it isn't just for show... kind of like "I'll show her for taking that away, now I'm going to make all these threats and it will be public to show how bad of a mom she is" or something in the moment of anger.

I cannot imagine, with how many people watch YouTube, that nobody they knew would eventually comment on it, or even make fun of the person in the video for it openly because of that kind of behavior. Heck, my son was teased for many things and that was just because the other kids could hear what was going on from outside sometimes, or would have to leave the house due to it. They didn't even see it and made it a point to say things to him sometimes.

I would think, logically, that if it was real, it definitely isn't something someone would be proud of or want to keep on the internet (judging by how I would feel about it being out there for the world to see and the fact that after I have an outburst, I rarely talk about it again because ultimately I wind up embarrassed and confused about it)... that the kid would say something to the parents, and the parents would make them remove it from the 'net, unless they truly don't care. I'm not sure I could see a brother keeping it posted, either, if it was real. Maybe taking it to a professional to show them, but not posting it for the world to see.

If the kid has a mental disorder, yeah, I feel sorry for him. if he's just an immature, self centered ahole, nah, I don't feel sorry for him.

Yeah I don't think anyone would act that way on camera, I think they would try their best to control their temper knowing their brother is going to put it on youtube and I think he would try and take it from him or just stay hidden in his room door locked (if he has a lock).

If they were real, then the brother is very mean. Doing things to make him mad so he film it and put it on youtube. My brothers have done this a few times with me in my teens where they would do things to upset me. I think one of them backfired because my brother went through a short phase where he and his friends take all the clothes off my Barbies and hang them out the window in my doll house and lie about it by saying he didn't do it. I would ask who did this and they would say they don't know and I would say "Valerie must have done it." I never knew why he and his friends did it. I thought it was strange of them but maybe they were just doing it to upset me and it didn't work so they stopped. I didn't even think it was a big deal. Valerie was just an imaginary friend I had then.

But then again I also did things to piss my brothers off. One of them was putting my doll clothes on my brother's cat and showing it to him to get him mad so I would watch his reaction. My mom accepted this behavior because "it was normal" just like she accepted the naked Barbie dolls behavior. She also said that was normal. But I don't think she ever knew I did it to upset my brother just like she didn't know my bother and his friends did it to try and upset me or else she would have stopped us. It would have been unlikely of her to allowed us kids to bully each other. She always got mad at me when I teased. And they say kids are innocent?

Haha, in a way I know what your mom means. I watch my 2 kiddos fight all the time. They know exactly what makes one another mad, and make it a point to do at least one of those things per day.

It does seem to be a normal sibling thing to harass one another and get friends involved in doing it as well. I didn't have siblings, but anyone I know who did/does always has a story about something horrible they did to them, and something the sibling did to retaliate.

I've gotten to where I just assume it is normal for them to pick on one another non-stop, and can tune a lot of it out at times, just because it is so constant. Some days of course are harder than others, but it's easier if I just remind myself that nobody is being physically hurt. There are some things I will step in on and say something about... like, if they have a favorite object and the other is bothering them with it for prolonged periods of time, but until I finally have enough of it, or the frustration mounts to unbearable amounts among the 3 of us, I try to get them to play TOGETHER, rather than taunt one another with it.

Legos, for instance... if my daughter insists on going in there just to bother him, and he is clearly getting annoyed, I wind up coming up with these "grand ideas" that maybe they should work on building a house together, or a castle, or something to get them working together that they both might be interested in rather than, "I'm playing with MY legos, and there is no way she is actually trying to play as well-she has to just be bothering me," or "He seems to be happy, I'm gonna go drive him nuts and do nothing productive" type stuff, if that makes sense, lol.

But... the camera thing... that just seems too... extreme and planned out for me to take it 100% seriously. Kinda like, "oh, he's about to get really mad, I'd better get out the camera and stand in the corner of his room because somehow I know that is exactly where he is going to go, and I just KNOW it's going to be something major and YouTube worthy rather than him just going in and laying on the bed upset." Things just... don't really work out that way. I cannot see someone having a breakdown like that every single time something happens, and a sibling actually bothering to have a camera every single time just to film it "in case" it's an extreme reaction. I also cannot see someone having that much of a breakdown and not walking over there and punching the person who is filming it personally... I can't stand being in the same room as someone when I'm that upset. It just seems "too convenient".

Also, as someone who plays a lot of online games and such, I really can see how it can be a major thing taken away. Especially if you do not interact with people on a RL level a lot of the time-those people in the game are "friends" essentially. Maybe not on the same level, but it can get to a point where you really feel connected on some level with them. It's not just taking away a game, but also being told you can no longer communicate with any of your friends at the same time. If you don't have much else going on for you, that can be a huge deal.

I still think it's wrong for parents to let their kids bully each other. I don't care if it's "normal behavior." It be like allowing a kid to tantrum in the store because it's normal or allowing a teen to punch holes in the walls or slam doors or break things because it's normal or allowing a teen to be snotty to their parents because it's normal. My mom didn't allow me to tease my brothers and she yell at me when they be getting upset. She also wouldn't allow me to tease other kids. She taught us kids respect.

Is it right for a sibling to upset their autistic sibling by torturing them with sounds that are painful to their ears or go in their room and move stuff around to give them a meltdown and make lot of noise as possible to torture them? Or make messes to upset them because of their OCD. I think it's wrong to do that to anyone, aspie or not.

Okay I'll stop, this is my sensitive spot. I didn't think my post lead to this. Brings back all those hurtful feelings and it makes me mad that people would actually think that is okay to do to that to their siblings. Makes me wonder if they are bullies themselves. So they are raising their kids to be bullies.
