You don't just make something, dummy! You give it to a loved one as a gift. Then they're forced to keep it forever no matter how awful it is. That's the joy of crafting 💫
That can really backfire, I made this hideous clay head in art in year 7 (I thought the project was stupid, and hence made a thing I recall naming something along the lines of a ‘punk elf’), well I bought this joke of a project home, and my mum loves the revolting little thing, and 5 years and 2 house moves later this thing still haunts me. I hate it with a passion but my mum keeps it on her windowsill.
“Donate it to Goodwill?” I found a little green rabbit made out of glass once at a Goodwill. I bought it to collect dust on a shelf. For real though it’s cute and very nice, I love it. It looks like it was practice for someone learning to shape molten glass
I found a rose quartz dolphin with part of the tail broken off at an estate sale. It was 50¢ and nobody was gonna by it since it was broken. It’s really cute!
i worked in a library that had an adjoining charity shop for about a year and they often got donations of handmade stuff. some of it was haggled to up to 25 dollars.
That's actually a really good idea. I might write that. What type of demented are you thinking? Like progressively more nihilistic and psychotic? Maybe incorporating like bones and stuff into the crafts?
The fact that she actually knew how to make all these means that she probably does make them- which just makes this whole sketch a whole new level of meta XD
@Tara S. I don't craft objects like those presented in the video, but I paint miniatures. Looking at already painted miniatures can actually bring enjoyment, a sense of accomplishment. I imagine you could get the same from these crafts, especially since you make them from scratch. Aside from that I could play table top miniature games with them, but I have until this point not used my miniatures for that purpose.
The journey is more important than the destination. Too many people focus on the end product of crafts and art, but the passionate journey there is also important
3:10 Honestly, passing them to your kids/grandkids is actually a good idea. It’d be really cool to own something my grandparent made when they were my age (i. e. decades ago).
My family has quite a few heirlooms that were homemade and passed on from previous generations. My Grandma painted these beautiful roses, and it's one of our most treasured possessions.
My family has kept my brother's clay figurines that he made as a teenager (He's in his late 40s now) They're really neat. They look like something you'd see on a metal album. I love them and would never get rid of them
Don't throw them away! They have so much potential to be shitty gifts that make it seem like you care, but really you just didn't feel like spending actual money on the person
It's ok, I assume this advice just applies to people, who are bad at crafting. If I would want to get rid of something I crafted/painted I'd just start taking people up on their offers to buy it from me.
Step one: find a girlfriend Step two: make a hole in a condom Step three: rise a child Step four: make it craft a dog 🐕 (It may be long but it's the only acceptable way to craft a horrible dog and display it)
My nana made a bunch of adorable paper gift boxes at a crafting class, then asked if I wanted them because she had no need for them. I haven’t bought a card for anything in over a year. I make handmade cards for everyone with origami, stickers, drawings, or stamps. Many of my gifts have become handmade, and are (allegedly) always appreciated. There are a couple of different camps crafters can fall into. I think it boils down to how much delight you find in the created things themselves. I’m someone who collects every little sticky note doodle anyone has given me (literally framed a beautiful sketch my mom’s colleague gave her after a boring meeting). That’s what gives my handmade goodies value. I love the people I’m gifting to and the gift itself, so I put in the time needed to make something actually decent.
@@noonespecial5360 Next you're going to tell me that the scarecrow who begged and screamed as I continued punching it was my grandmother. I'm not falling for it.
I was thinking that too, but shredded it works well as bedding for a caged pet (as long as the paint is non-toxic) and/or compost it for your garden (a garden is like a craft, a lot more work but you can usually more enjoy the... 'fruits' of your labor... Get it???)
It's actually 2 different giraffes! If you look closely, the first spots placed on it are all huge, but the finished giraffe only has small spots. They've tricked us all! Just imagine the horrors they must be inflicting on the first giraffe right now, hoping that nobody will ever suspect the ol' switcheroo. Oh, the humanity.
Although she didn't have the heart to say it, Jess did use one of her self-made cork stamps in the shape of a ball to imprint numerous crafty black polka dots all over her formerly plain white dress.
you know, now that I think about it, if I was a five year old, I think I'd enjoy playing with the dog and giraffe, and since the stamps being used on clothing to make them look better, I think crafts may actually be useful.
The act of creating things is a good thing. Also, skills honed over time can lead to professional quality items. Like carving soap animals could evolve into carving wooden figurines or stone works or marble and hey maybe you won't make the pietà but if you never start you definitely won't.
Honestly I would buy carved soap items if I really liked them. Yes, it is a luxury (which I definitely couldn't afford every time I need some soap) but it would make a great gift for Christmas or just a treat for yourself. Plus you are supporting someone who did this out of choice and to enjoy it. I know some of the things (esp. beginner pieces) are actually dust collectors. But yes, I do feel bad if I'd throw them away. I for sure know me and my boyfriend (we are both passionate writers and like drawing on occasion) still have some of our first works, some okay, some with potential and some which are just pure cringe. Looking back is kinda fun as well. I just picked up hand sewing and I'm glad that I can reuse (most of) the fabric if I really messed up or don't need it the way it is sewn anymore. But I really feel the pain people with more "widespreading" hobbies must feel (widespreading as in you can't just store it in two or three large folders like paper)...
Like I get that this is funny but also as humans we really do need to remember how to create things not for profit or necessity or approval of others but for the sake of creation and a self satisfaction which does not depend on external praise. Crafting and dancing and drawing and writing and singing and painting aren't things you should only do if you can do them 'professionally' they're just things humans DO and without that life is bland and bad
Very true but I think the point Jess was making was more just about how she doesn't want the crafts gathering dust on her shelf and she has no one to give them to
@@SurprisinglyDeep that's because her crafts were shitty. And useless. There are actually plenty of crafts that are not shitty and make great gifts or home decor. Tbf, tho, most of those are just called "diy". For proof just look up Anthropologie hacks. Or just look up the stuff Anthropologie sells. Most of the things they sell for $50-$200 can be replicated for around $20.
@@sierrasouthwell9237 yeah man the big difference is skill and experience. putting effort into improving your skills (ie: painting, sculpting, sewing, woodworking) is the difference between a trash craft and a unique art piece. all that being said, creating and crafting have intrinsic benefits to the psyche no matter the skill level
She was using crafts to escape real life. It was a distraction from her thoughts about her past, present, and future. Some people take drugs, drink, sleep around, etc. to escape life; she makes crafts! But even if you make crafts, it doesn't mean you'll be able to escape the horrors of day to day life.... If you wanna do that successfully, play video games! :D
@@TheGoldenDunsparce true... so what if plastic decays 1000 years, in 1000 years planet will either be covered in one gigantic city, or all sentient life will be gone and then even million years is nothing
As an art teacher I support making art because it fills the void or keeps you occupied. Art for oneself is great. Don't have to sell it or show it off. But you can if you want. Also all those crafts were cute. The puppy and giraffe were really cool! Good job Jess!
Liked because that's pretty funny, but in all seriousness, don't give up! I have tons of half finished projects, but it's getting better because I've learned not to start anything that won't take more than five minutes while other projects are still ongoing. But my mother started embroidering her wedding monogram as an anniversary gift, and kept moving the number of years celebrating with each new child and tribulation. She finished it last month and got it framed, and it's all the more beautiful for the time and dedication invested. Take your time, do it out of love, not obligation, and celebrate every step. You can do it!
Hey this is a funny rip or whatever but women's art has traditionally been mocked and forgotten about due to its associatation with being "just crafts" or "useless"
Adding that a lot of incredible pieces of art have been just tossed aside and the artisans who worked on them forgotten because no one took women's art seriously.
this is an incredibly good point. i had no idea about this. something felt off about this entire video to me tbh. im glad some people are on the same page as me
This is a common thing to many crafts. But you can craft stuff with purpose, like a stamp for your name to save time at school so you don't have to write your whole first name down on every paper.
My mom actually came into my room once and started throwing stuff away because my room was "too messy." She ended up throwing my homework away because she was angry and didn't pay attention to what she was doing. I was crying, trying to save my homework and my magazines and my defenses only caused her to be more angry and aggressive. She threatened my biggest treasure: If I didn't settle down, she'd throw away my books and bookcase. I broke and went silent. Next day at school, I told the teacher what happened and she didn't believe me. Called my mother to tell her this fantastical story I apparently made up. My mother was standing in the doorway and hit me with a spatula when I got home for telling the teacher what had happened. If your parents act like my mother did, tell a trusted adult. You and your stuff should be safe at home. If your parents make you feel unsafe, they're abusing you. And yeah, I felt unsafe when my mother stormed into my room, destroyed/stole my belongings, and then beat me for telling another adult. It may only be stuff, but it YOUR stuff. Just because you live under someone else's roof doesn't give them any right to your belongings, space, or your body.
Same lol When I gave my brother a high tech immersion circulator cooking appliance for his birthday, he sarcastically asked "wow did you make this?!" Everyone laughed. 😑
Short answer, yes. Long one, because imagine if you were to put that same effort and dedication and mad skills into something truly useful. I mean no disrespect. I love crafting, but most things made are pretty useless. There's not enough quality to call it art, and there's not enough utilitarianism to be a product. Crafters would rule the world if they focused on stuff that improved everyone's lives, not just theirs. It's like 3D printing, at first (and still) a lot of people started printing dumb sh*t and now, somewhere, we have 3D printed houses. Now imagine 3D printed houses for the homeless made out of recycled material compounds. Everybody wins, because a robot is doing a hard job that would require more time and money from more than one person, a sturdy house is being built for someone that needs it, and waste would be out of the oceans. A virtuous cycle is created.
Internet Girl oh come on, I know it’s pleasant to feel on a moral high horse being all “every creation is beautiful” and such, but there’s a difference between a felt toy that looks like a 5-year-old made it and an actual art object (like these terrific almost-alive looking dragons some skilled folks make out of polymer clay, etc). And if you claim you don’t see a difference, you either have severe problems with critical thinking or are lying to yourself in order to feel morally superior. As harsh as it sounds, the world really doesn’t need more crappy crafts. It’s totally possible to find something else which makes you feel good AND actually makes a difference/provides useful results. Knit a scarf. Learn an instrument or a language. Volunteer to paint walls in a kindergarten. The world is full of possibilities, and shutting yourself in a “studio” to produce tons of low-skilled unneeded trinkets is a spit in the face of the universe.
My pandemic skill-enhancement hobby was cocktails. I learned how to make a Tommy's Margarita, Indian Paintbrush and an amazing Amaretto Sour (it has bourbon in it -shh). Most hobbies, people immediately start rolling their eyes. Mine, it takes close to 45 minutes.
Jess's character has "cheat on me and I remove your manhood during the middle of the night and throw it out of a speeding cars window" written all over her.
Pretty sure Jess is engaged to a woman. And I really hope that scenario's just something you made up on the fly so I can rest easy knowing nobody has actually done that...
I used to do crafting, I was less than 10 years old... I still remember that feeling of joy getting sapped out of me as soon as I finished because it eventually ended at the bottom of the family toy box, crushed by bought toys that we actually played with. I wanted to get rid of them, but I was taught to be proud of my work... To this day, as an artist, I don't care about keeping sketchbooks, they're pure PTSD.
me, someone who draws for a living but is having massive self doubt abt my work: college humor: after i finish my craft, i like to throw it in the trash, bc thats where it belongs me: is this a mirror?
If its just drawings, you could just keep them inside a photo album. Or draw using a wacom tablet so that the pictures are stored on your computer and you could just print out a photocopy of a drawing if you ever wanted to show it to someone
Same, I am a student and I work with ceramics. Literally every one in my class hates its own work and wants to get rid of it right after its burned. And here I am, collecting their work lol
im glad some people are with me on this. it wasnt even just playful cynicism, it was just dark and condescending. I've seen similar parodies like this and they werent as unsettling to watch as this. there was an april fools joke on the channels danisnotonfire (now daniel howell) and amazingphil that was called "dan and phil crafts". it was similar to this but despite the extremely dark humor it was still obviously in good fun. this just left me deflated
@@girlhusband69 Exactly! It's condescending, dark but makes no insightful critique. What they do a lot these days is just shitting on wholesome things people enjoy, then just left you feeling defeated. also this video doesn't really have a point..? Like what's the takeaway of this video ? crafting is stupid and you are an idiot if crafting makes you happy? Why so cynical about this? Can't people be happy? I used to like this type of cynicism from CH, because they used to have a point, but now it gets repetitive and empty. It's edgy for edgy's sake, at this point these videos just seems mean spirited, pointless and not funny.
@@msnicoleleeee314 that's exactly how i felt! and their sketches used to be so much more creative too. every single video is either this, or takes a mundane thing that annoys people and put that to an extreme. it's basically just "relatable humor". it looks like all the good shows they had are being shipped to dropbox right now. like jake and amir, and precious plum. (plum was mostly edge but at least it was a commentary on the horrible industry of exploiting children that is child beauty pagents.) what happened to creativity and lighthearted humor? it just seems like nobody had fun with this video, and that's the big take away. even in newer sketches like "how tall is grant?" and its sequel "is grant keith from buzzfeed?" (not exactly new but newer) they clearly had fun on set with that one. this video was so devoid of any fun. nobody had fun making it. even lele pons seems better to stomach because even though her content is awful, she seems like she has fun with her content.
I think jess literally said it's ok to do crafts to distract yourself from the world, but the idea is most of these 5 minute craft type videos encourage you to make something you'll probably never keep and barely like just for the sake of making something. But it's whatever it's ok to not like a video either way
I love Jess bc i would never assume she's the kind of person that would want to work in comedy or that college humor would hire, so i think she helps round out the cast really well
I feel like hobbies are a personal thing Yes they might not help society but hobbies are meant to be a personal thing and you’re meant to focus on yourself Before you say I’m getting triggered I do not do arts and crafts
FallingStary yes I know it’s a joke But you missed my point Hobbies are a personal thing yes they may not serve a purpose but they will always be fun for you like for example playing a guitar it may not be useful but it will be fun for you
Actually crafting can contribute to the community.... Check out Ten Thousand Villages for example. Creators around the world hand make items like home goods, jewelry and gifts. Through a non profit Fair Trade Market store, the original artisans (or crafters) get the profits of the sales. I have purchased handmade stationary, vases, earrings, a very cool baby mobile, and a hand woven basket. Fair Trade stores like these are an awesome way we can support developing communities around the globe, and also have the privilege of cherishing a piece of an artisan's hand crafted workmanship-- often made using recycled materials. (PS recycling materials is just another way crafting can contribute to society.)
ahahah this was the art/craft version of the 'every beauty vlogger ever' but also took a dark dark turn like the 'cooking for one' video with Grant. Don't you think about the dreadful void, Jess, have another Gatorita! BTW Jess is great, as always
Crafting helped me to again masonry skills...I repaired and renovated my old home ...it has taught me to be creative while building and painting ...and saved me a lot of money...dont trash crafts its a Lifeskill and comes in handy a lot more than you think...
And then when you play your tabletop games you'll be left with fond little memories... to occupy your brain in an attempt to push out the crushing reality we live in. Yay escapsim! Check out Dimension 20!
You know, there is a joy in creating something and making it your own. As a creative writer, I don’t think my stories will be published, they probably won’t see the light of day outside my family and close friends. But the joy in creating something in your own little corner of the world is a feeling that can only be experienced. Even if you follow a pattern, a step by step, it’s still your own.
Ok, from a horders perspective: 1st- Can be sold, given to someone or used as a charm. 2nd- Papers with stamps can go to the scratch pile! You can use them for wrapping, letters and more 3rd- You can also sell this, use it as a paperweight, or give it to someone
My house burned down two years ago, with all my drawings and songs I’ve created over my life. It’s a good thing! Holding on to pass creations is like choosing to be haunted. (This was supposed to be dark comedy. Not sure if it’s funny, not sure if I am joking anymore.) Loved the skit Jess!
By the same logic all of these videos are mostly a waste of time. I mean you made them and they look good, but they hardly carry any meaningful information. They just use hard drive space on some servers.
Well, I would say it depends on the framework you're using. Under the framework of capitalism, these videos aren't a waste of time. They generate views, which generates ad revenue, which is income, which is your main objective. Under that same framework, the crafts are a waste of time, because they're not valuable.
As an artist I'm hurt but as a regular human being I can see and feel her inner rage. This would be a great way to release all that inner rage and I love it.
Honestly I’m something of a nihilist myself but this just felt needlessly cynical. I get that that’s the joke, this one just really didn’t connect with me.
I agree, the joy of creating is partially the process but also the use - which is giving to someone to enjoy. It's not necessarily just something you do to waste time, you do it for the act of creation. Mostly (for me at least) if I make something decent that is actually nice, if I'm embarrassed to keep it, I just give it to a kid.
tbh it sounds like fun to express yourself into something useless, then throwing it away. like making trash sculptures, yeah it's stupid but you get to express yourself and, in the end you're going to throw it away, if it's made out of clay or trash it'll still be trashed

But I really feel the pain people with more "widespreading" hobbies must feel (widespreading as in you can't just store it in two or three large folders like paper)...
Like I get that this is funny but also as humans we really do need to remember how to create things not for profit or necessity or approval of others but for the sake of creation and a self satisfaction which does not depend on external praise. Crafting and dancing and drawing and writing and singing and painting aren't things you should only do if you can do them 'professionally' they're just things humans DO and without that life is bland and bad
Very true but I think the point Jess was making was more just about how she doesn't want the crafts gathering dust on her shelf and she has no one to give them to
@@SurprisinglyDeep that's because her crafts were shitty. And useless. There are actually plenty of crafts that are not shitty and make great gifts or home decor. Tbf, tho, most of those are just called "diy". For proof just look up Anthropologie hacks. Or just look up the stuff Anthropologie sells. Most of the things they sell for $50-$200 can be replicated for around $20.
@@sierrasouthwell9237 yeah man the big difference is skill and experience. putting effort into improving your skills (ie: painting, sculpting, sewing, woodworking) is the difference between a trash craft and a unique art piece. all that being said, creating and crafting have intrinsic benefits to the psyche no matter the skill level
She was using crafts to escape real life. It was a distraction from her thoughts about her past, present, and future. Some people take drugs, drink, sleep around, etc. to escape life; she makes crafts! But even if you make crafts, it doesn't mean you'll be able to escape the horrors of day to day life....

@@PowerUpPlease you learn that after keeping crafts for the first times and then suddenly realizing it has no actual utility or purpose.
As an art teacher I support making art because it fills the void or keeps you occupied. Art for oneself is great. Don't have to sell it or show it off. But you can if you want.
Also all those crafts were cute. The puppy and giraffe were really cool! Good job Jess!

Liked because that's pretty funny, but in all seriousness, don't give up! I have tons of half finished projects, but it's getting better because I've learned not to start anything that won't take more than five minutes while other projects are still ongoing. But my mother started embroidering her wedding monogram as an anniversary gift, and kept moving the number of years celebrating with each new child and tribulation. She finished it last month and got it framed, and it's all the more beautiful for the time and dedication invested. Take your time, do it out of love, not obligation, and celebrate every step. You can do it!
I'm same with my crafts, and I have too many. Plus the writer's block. But its making the time we need in our hobbies.
Hey this is a funny rip or whatever but women's art has traditionally been mocked and forgotten about due to its associatation with being "just crafts" or "useless"
Adding that a lot of incredible pieces of art have been just tossed aside and the artisans who worked on them forgotten because no one took women's art seriously.
this is an incredibly good point. i had no idea about this. something felt off about this entire video to me tbh. im glad some people are on the same page as me
I mean it's just art in general, not necessarily women's art.
Crafts suck. Man or women if you make crafts, NO ONE WANTS THEM
Plus we aren't in 1950 women are now respected for there art

As a full time artist that has been dabbling in sculpture and cross-media pieces, this was a real kick in the nads.
How my mom reacts to my school project "is this trash?"
omg thx for the likes
why? This absolutely made my day 😂
Mine too
She's just jealous...or an a-hole.
Cause it usually is.
My mom actually came into my room once and started throwing stuff away because my room was "too messy." She ended up throwing my homework away because she was angry and didn't pay attention to what she was doing. I was crying, trying to save my homework and my magazines and my defenses only caused her to be more angry and aggressive. She threatened my biggest treasure: If I didn't settle down, she'd throw away my books and bookcase. I broke and went silent.
Next day at school, I told the teacher what happened and she didn't believe me. Called my mother to tell her this fantastical story I apparently made up. My mother was standing in the doorway and hit me with a spatula when I got home for telling the teacher what had happened. If your parents act like my mother did, tell a trusted adult. You and your stuff should be safe at home. If your parents make you feel unsafe, they're abusing you. And yeah, I felt unsafe when my mother stormed into my room, destroyed/stole my belongings, and then beat me for telling another adult. It may only be stuff, but it YOUR stuff. Just because you live under someone else's roof doesn't give them any right to your belongings, space, or your body.
Or make something practical, like knit socks or something. Takes more time, but also serves a purpose afterwards.
I love how these are all totally legitimate arts and crafts that you can actually do
Being in an artist community has me looking at this and wondering if the rest of the world is really so dismissive towards one's efforts ahhh
Same lol
When I gave my brother a high tech immersion circulator cooking appliance for his birthday, he sarcastically asked "wow did you make this?!"
Everyone laughed. 😑
Short answer, yes. Long one, because imagine if you were to put that same effort and dedication and mad skills into something truly useful. I mean no disrespect. I love crafting, but most things made are pretty useless. There's not enough quality to call it art, and there's not enough utilitarianism to be a product. Crafters would rule the world if they focused on stuff that improved everyone's lives, not just theirs. It's like 3D printing, at first (and still) a lot of people started printing dumb sh*t and now, somewhere, we have 3D printed houses. Now imagine 3D printed houses for the homeless made out of recycled material compounds. Everybody wins, because a robot is doing a hard job that would require more time and money from more than one person, a sturdy house is being built for someone that needs it, and waste would be out of the oceans. A virtuous cycle is created.
@@bluefernlove define quality in this specific context..
Internet Girl oh come on, I know it’s pleasant to feel on a moral high horse being all “every creation is beautiful” and such, but there’s a difference between a felt toy that looks like a 5-year-old made it and an actual art object (like these terrific almost-alive looking dragons some skilled folks make out of polymer clay, etc). And if you claim you don’t see a difference, you either have severe problems with critical thinking or are lying to yourself in order to feel morally superior. As harsh as it sounds, the world really doesn’t need more crappy crafts. It’s totally possible to find something else which makes you feel good AND actually makes a difference/provides useful results. Knit a scarf. Learn an instrument or a language. Volunteer to paint walls in a kindergarten. The world is full of possibilities, and shutting yourself in a “studio” to produce tons of low-skilled unneeded trinkets is a spit in the face of the universe.
@@jeremiahsmith916 TLDR: don't do what you enjoy if it isn't "useful".

More of this! With progressively darker revelations.

I used to do crafting, I was less than 10 years old...

To this day, as an artist, I don't care about keeping sketchbooks, they're pure PTSD.
Even the trash can looks nice. That is dedication.

This got darker during a stay at home order.
me, someone who draws for a living but is having massive self doubt abt my work:
college humor: after i finish my craft, i like to throw it in the trash, bc thats where it belongs
me: is this a mirror?
If its just drawings, you could just keep them inside a photo album. Or draw using a wacom tablet so that the pictures are stored on your computer and you could just print out a photocopy of a drawing if you ever wanted to show it to someone

Check out REL's channel. She has a pretty decent video on that subject I just watched.
start to get tired of collegehumor's cynicism
some people need to find stupid ways to distract themselves from the horror of existence ok?
im glad some people are with me on this. it wasnt even just playful cynicism, it was just dark and condescending. I've seen similar parodies like this and they werent as unsettling to watch as this. there was an april fools joke on the channels danisnotonfire (now daniel howell) and amazingphil that was called "dan and phil crafts". it was similar to this but despite the extremely dark humor it was still obviously in good fun. this just left me deflated
@@girlhusband69 Exactly! It's condescending, dark but makes no insightful critique. What they do a lot these days is just shitting on wholesome things people enjoy, then just left you feeling defeated. also this video doesn't really have a point..? Like what's the takeaway of this video ? crafting is stupid and you are an idiot if crafting makes you happy? Why so cynical about this? Can't people be happy?
I used to like this type of cynicism from CH, because they used to have a point, but now it gets repetitive and empty. It's edgy for edgy's sake, at this point these videos just seems mean spirited, pointless and not funny.
@@msnicoleleeee314 that's exactly how i felt! and their sketches used to be so much more creative too. every single video is either this, or takes a mundane thing that annoys people and put that to an extreme. it's basically just "relatable humor". it looks like all the good shows they had are being shipped to dropbox right now. like jake and amir, and precious plum. (plum was mostly edge but at least it was a commentary on the horrible industry of exploiting children that is child beauty pagents.) what happened to creativity and lighthearted humor? it just seems like nobody had fun with this video, and that's the big take away. even in newer sketches like "how tall is grant?" and its sequel "is grant keith from buzzfeed?" (not exactly new but newer) they clearly had fun on set with that one. this video was so devoid of any fun. nobody had fun making it. even lele pons seems better to stomach because even though her content is awful, she seems like she has fun with her content.
I think jess literally said it's ok to do crafts to distract yourself from the world, but the idea is most of these 5 minute craft type videos encourage you to make something you'll probably never keep and barely like just for the sake of making something. But it's whatever it's ok to not like a video either way
Singlehandedly broke 50% of all RUclips videos
I love Jess bc i would never assume she's the kind of person that would want to work in comedy or that college humor would hire, so i think she helps round out the cast really well
I feel like hobbies are a personal thing
Yes they might not help society but hobbies are meant to be a personal thing and you’re meant to focus on yourself
Before you say I’m getting triggered I do not do arts and crafts
You missed the part of the joke where she pointed out the uselessness once completed and serving the crafter no more purpose
FallingStary yes I know it’s a joke
But you missed my point
Hobbies are a personal thing yes they may not serve a purpose but they will always be fun for you like for example playing a guitar it may not be useful but it will be fun for you
But they do help society. Theyl inspire others to create instead of consume.
Actually crafting can contribute to the community....
Check out Ten Thousand Villages for example.
Creators around the world hand make items like home goods, jewelry and gifts. Through a non profit Fair Trade Market store, the original artisans (or crafters) get the profits of the sales.
I have purchased handmade stationary, vases, earrings, a very cool baby mobile, and a hand woven basket. Fair Trade stores like these are an awesome way we can support developing communities around the globe, and also have the privilege of cherishing a piece of an artisan's hand crafted workmanship-- often made using recycled materials.
(PS recycling materials is just another way crafting can contribute to society.)
This is my favorite skit and I’m mad that it hasn’t broken 1 million views yet
ahahah this was the art/craft version of the 'every beauty vlogger ever' but also took a dark dark turn like the 'cooking for one' video with Grant. Don't you think about the dreadful void, Jess, have another Gatorita!
BTW Jess is great, as always
Crafting helped me to again masonry skills...I repaired and renovated my old home ...it has taught me to be creative while building and painting ...and saved me a lot of money...dont trash crafts its a Lifeskill and comes in handy a lot more than you think...
See, that's what tabletop wargames are for... _keeping_ that crafted stuff...

You know, there is a joy in creating something and making it your own. As a creative writer, I don’t think my stories will be published, they probably won’t see the light of day outside my family and close friends. But the joy in creating something in your own little corner of the world is a feeling that can only be experienced. Even if you follow a pattern, a step by step, it’s still your own.
Oh thank you for saying this! It feels nice to know that process itself is the thing that's important not just the end product.
E...Even Forky? * eyes well with tears *

Ok, from a horders perspective:
1st- Can be sold, given to someone or used as a charm.
2nd- Papers with stamps can go to the scratch pile! You can use them for wrapping, letters and more
3rd- You can also sell this, use it as a paperweight, or give it to someone

Well, I would say it depends on the framework you're using. Under the framework of capitalism, these videos aren't a waste of time. They generate views, which generates ad revenue, which is income, which is your main objective. Under that same framework, the crafts are a waste of time, because they're not valuable.
Its psychotic to need peoples approval to do the things you want to do.

I mean the stamp was pretty shit. But the girraffe & the dog were cute!
I agree, the joy of creating is partially the process but also the use - which is giving to someone to enjoy. It's not necessarily just something you do to waste time, you do it for the act of creation. Mostly (for me at least) if I make something decent that is actually nice, if I'm embarrassed to keep it, I just give it to a kid.
I loled.
@Nicholas Belko XD yep hi, grandma here, I'm so terribly dismayed at your lack of love for my crafts which I worked oh so hard on~ *cries*
tbh it sounds like fun to express yourself into something useless, then throwing it away. like making trash sculptures, yeah it's stupid but you get to express yourself and, in the end you're going to throw it away, if it's made out of clay or trash it'll still be trashed
