Repetitive watching

Post Reply New Topic

Does anyone else do this? I sometimes repetitively watch youtube videos, in the past I also repetitively watched a movie called Look Who's Talking over 20 times.

Movies, YouTube videos, listening to songs over and over and over and over and over again... For as long as I can remember I've put things on repeat.

Yes!! ! A thousand times yes!! Often times I can't even explain what I like about the video, just that I find it pleasurable!! I have done this since I was a kid. I think everyone does this though, to some degree.

Way more than I care to admit

Oh definitely! Especially when I was younger there were VHS videos I watched over and over and over (and also books I read over and over). Although I don't do it as much now, I still do from time to time. For instance there are creepypastas I have listened to more than 10 times because I just am that hooked on them.

When I was 11 I watched "Mystery at Castle House" and Pink Floyd's "The Wall" and "Lassie's rescue rangers" almost daily (not all 3, but daily watching of one of them, depending on which one I was into at the time.

I also like re-watching movies I really like, like The 6th Sense and The Good Son (which I watched who knows how may times when I was around 16-17).
Edit: And when I was 19 there were episodes of Babylon 5 I played over and over.

so what do you guys enjoy watching on youtube? i love house/room tours and makeup tutorials even though i hate wearing make up lol

^ I listen to a lot of creepypasta, alleged true scary stories, mysteries and conspiracies because I find them very entertaining. I also watch a bit of movie trailers and game related videos, and the occasional movie.
The last week I've actually watched 9 movies there.

Yes. And not only watching. I also repetitively read books that I like. I read the whole Harry Potter saga 18 times in row when I was a teen.

I watched A Bug's Life so many times as a toddler that I remember all the inflections of the characters' voices, but somehow I don't remember all the lines.

I watch clips of films or series I like repetitively on YouTube. I have also watched every single episode of Red Dwarf seasons 1-8 five times each in total.

Mainly music, I listen to the same song over and over again for a few weeks then swap to a completely different song and do the same thing. I have seen every episode of friends too many times to count (300-400+times each), most episodes I know what they are going to say before they say it. I have seen every episode of ncis about 10 times some of them never 20 or 30, most episodes I know what they are going to say before they say it. I've done that with the first Harry Potter film too, I used to know most of it off by heart, now not so much but I can pretty much say what they are about say.

Movies / Tv-series etc. no, it takes quite a special + Greeeeaaat one (with a capital G) for me to watch a movie, tv-series/ episodes over again in solitary that is - But i sometimes do watch over again, basically because i recommended the movie to someone else and they wanted me to watch it along with them - in rare cases i re-watch on my own - sometimes to try to see if i'll notice things i didn't when i watched it the first time, aka to try understand/ dig deeper into the meaning of the movie. Other times (which is rare) and usually requires a good "break" in between, but because it was just so darn good i found the audacity in myself to binge on it one second time) - to mention some i have done the second round with: The Walking Dead, The Grand Budapest Hotel, Django Unchained, One Flew Over The Cuckoos Nest, Amelie.

So yeah, usually it's enough for me to watch it once, but as mentioned if really good, and with a year or more off of it, i could watch once again.

I do however though do repetitive listening a lot - I binge on songs/ albums - yes i do, then i might make playlists and listen to it everyday for weeks before changing to something else.
