***** Well in a bind I'll use my neighbors garden hose and some dish soap. In the winter I stand near a fire, but let me tell you, showering outside in the snow next to a fire is not fun.
I think the point of the story is that most guys won't admit that they are not strong enough to open the jar... kind of like asking for direction ..... all you got to do is just run it under hot water for a minutes and it will loosen up LOL
using your brain to find your way around things that excel your physicall strengh is no cheat but smart and a very human trait... by the way if "men" are eager to "break their fingers off" to open a silly jar, instead of asking for help (or admitting they can't do it).. than it is not to be bold but for false pride and vanity.. at least in that situation... another thing would be if this would be the only food they'd have and there would be no other way to open it... in that situation I can appriciate it.. because it was done to help and not for pride
+LilysDream You all are way overanalyzing this it's just saying that men in most situations will avoid admitting their too weak for something. Which is true although over exagerated here.
As the only daughter of a family of three boys, two male cousins and a father living in the same house for over a decade (AND who are all straight), this vid has brought me so much nostalgia.
How this would have gone down if MEN were cooking instead of overly self conscious little boys. "Damn, this sauce jar is stuck on tight!" "I know, right? Those things are always a pain." "Hang on a sec" *Runs under hot water* "There ya go!" A child makes up excuses for their shortcomings. An adult acknowledges and owns up to their limitations and weaknesses.
I know this totally defeats the original purpose of the video but a little bit of brains would have opened that jar in less than ten seconds. A few smacks to the bottom of the jar breaks the seal and it opens right up. That's all I could think during this whole video.
jacob knighten because gay men don't want to appear masculine? I would do the same thing cooking dinner with my boyfriend... I think this video applies to most men gay or straight...
Justin Mabry stereotypes, bro. no point in getting offended over it. straight men can't appear weak, and won't ask for help with something as small as getting a jar open, asking for directions, etc. are there gay men that are like this? absolutely, but the general stereotype for gay men isn't that they're strong, masculine, and dependable, now is it? and before you get offended by THAT, don't. it's a holdover stereotype from the 60s, and it's not likely to go anywhere anytime soon.
You can cut a Little Circle (Well, Big enough to overlap the edge of the jar top) from that Rubberized Kitchen Cupboard Lining stuff & use it to open the Jar. It works Like Magic! I need it bc I have to open my jars by myself :( lolz The top comes off quite easy that way!!! xD
Hold the lid of the jar beneath very hot running water at the kitchen sink. The heat, of course, expands the metal and after a minute or two it opens right up. Works every time!
I don't know if English has analog for this, but in Russian we say, Smart guy is not gonna go uphill to the mountain to pass it, smart guy is gonna go around. Because basic understanding how jars work would help. Okay, how to open a jar? Jars are usually filled with hot things, then they cool down so it's all gets tight on, so what we what to do is to make it tight off. If brutal force is not gonna make it (it's not because you are weak, but it was very hot), what you can do is using the holder of a knife hit the lid so the inner pressure goes down. Doesn't help? Get your can warmed up using water, glass is expanding slower than the metal. No result? Get a screwdriver (definitely not a knife) under the lid and don't push - use it as a lever. If all of this fails, thy to make a hole in the lid, pressure immediately goes ok so you can open, if not, use the lever again 'cause it's just stuck and glued on. And finally, if you ask someone for help, you have solved the problem, so you're cool. If you leave the problem for others, you didn't help to solve it, you did nothing, so you are no cool. Not getting a problem high spoken is not cool, next person taking your task knows that you have failed and didn't say that, so you have no coolness in your portfolio.
lol *cough an easy way to pop the lid is to put it under the sink and let hot water slowly go into it to pop it. compression and expansion from chemistry/physics class. also you could have used the metal knife to let air into the lid as well if you did it correctly. I am lucky I wont ever have this problem because I know enough science ahem :)
If you "knock" on the lid or tap it with something with a little weight to it, (like the handle side of a butter knife..) it usually pops right open. Don't know why, just works. & as for the women vs men in the kitchen bit by Mikey Guitar whoever... Have you ever worked in a kitchen? I have. In New York. For a long time. & I'm a girl. With great dexterity, & agility. So what was your point again? I hope your Mom reads your comment & stops cooking for you.
(2/2) And, as much as I disagree with Mikey on how genetics affects our ability to cook xD I also have to disagree with your statement "Chromosomes are nothing more than..." because DNA is some important shit man. The Y chromosome, what makes men men, affects hormone levels, so any beneficial mutations in the Y chromosome, such as more testosterone levels during puberty leading to higher strength etc, should only be passed on to the men of the species.
I think you need to take a biology course. Chromosomes are nothing more than an encoding of DNA structures that tell an organism how to arrange it's cells. Evolution is the progression of a species, which does include women. I'll include a basic example since you will need it. hunter 1 has better eye sight than hunter 2. As a result hunter 1 has more children than 2. So hunter 1's kids get his good eye sight, which include his daughters.
You need intellectual prowess for this... remember Science? You just heat the lid (not the jar but just the metal lid over gas flame, with a lighter, torch, whatever for maybe 30 seconds..then use a damp towel to grab the lid... and voila!
(1/2) I don't agree with the whole vision and dexterity thing Mikey mentioned, but I think what he could have been getting at would be sexual selection, such as how a peacock was the huge tail feathers and is colorful and the peahen does not.
turn the jar upside down, give a nice strong tap at the bottom of the jar to depressurize the jar, then turn it back up and try to open. repeat this process a couple of times until you find the cap loosened up a bit and easier to open. you're welcome!
Yup, that's the only thing I've ever heard it. But thats cool to know. I like the little differences about the vernacular in the UK. And their slang is so much more clever. It's like metaphorical quips with comedy. Love it.
I got stuck in that situation before, but i used a knife and stuck it in a small gap between the lid and the jar, bent the lid a little bit to ease off some of the inside pressure and then it opened pretty easily
The whole time I was waiting for a girl to come in and open it with ease. I think that would have been a better ending. But it is true for half my life I was like that. Also I am pretty sure many gay guys are this way too. Half my gay friends are quite masculine, though they still dress better and dance way better than I do. And when it comes to interior design forget it, I have met not one gay man who cannot do better at that then all straight men I have ever met. Hell I am fairly confident that they do it far better than the vast majority of women. Probably true for hair styling as well, though I wouldn’t know I am one of those Neanderthals who just gets a medium fade and wears jeans and a tee shirt.
Why were they trying to cook in the first place? Oh I get it, straight dudes don't admit that they actually cook. Oh I get it, they won't admit that pizza can be delivered in 5 minutes.
I was speaking in regards to his comment exclusively, but yeah you raise a good point. Also I'm not sure if you did but if you commented previously I didn't see it and can no longer find it. lol
you don't need to stab the top just stick a knife under it like the one guy was doing and pull just a little bit of the lid in away from the jar. It'll let a little air in and release the pressure.
I'm training to be a chef. I'm in a class with a five to one girl/guy ratio, we chill and eat food, you probably go out and play football. Cuddling with a bunch of guys. Who's the gay guy now
Tap around the edge of the bottle with a knife, use a towel, run it under some water. There's no shame in not being able to open a jar, if every man has been shamed by it, then it really isn't a shame. (I've got long fingers and a good grip so I pop them open easy lol)
Wrapping the lid edge sharply with the back-end handle of a butter knife would allow a child to open the jar. Even a child would know to turn the lid counterclockwise.
Everyone is wasting hot water. Smack the bottom of the jar with the heel of your hand. That breaks the seal and makes it easy to open. Works great on pickles, too.
Get large metal spoon from the drawer and with the back of the spoon SMACK! the very center of the lid hard and you will pop the seal. Then turn the lid to open.
... or make a hole in the lid :') this video is sooo true xD genius! (but why is that guy washing his chest in the kitchen next to the food? that's.... nasty..)
Men and women don't have the same physical attributes, I mentioned that in my last post. Men and women do however have the same non physical abilities.
2:40 made me go "WTF?" Another way to loosen the lid is to turn it upside down and tap the edges of the lid on the counter gently, then turn it back rightside up and retry opening it.
Stab a hole in the cover to release the vacuum and the cap should be easier to twist off. This looks like the beginning of an advertisement for a jar opener.
simple trick: hit the edges of the can lid with a butter knife to break the seal a little, but don't hit it enough to ruin the sealing completely. it makes it much easier.
is it just me or are they unscrewing the lid in the wrong direction?
Lol i noticed that right away
Garmec That totally bugged me the entire time.
they did it so it wouldn't actually open
+Tidgemo They needed to do that? Really? Because those things are hard to get off anyways.
They weren't opening it the wrong way. The camera flips the video.
I love the sad music that comes on when they have trouble opening it
Who the fuck lifts their shirt up and showers in the sink?
***** Well in a bind I'll use my neighbors garden hose and some dish soap. In the winter I stand near a fire, but let me tell you, showering outside in the snow next to a fire is not fun.
+VeryBeowulf A buff guy who knows his audience.
WHAT IS HE EVEN DOING WITH THAT GARLIC THAT IS WAY TOO MUCH WHY IS HE CUTTING UP THE SKINS TOO WTF
Expedience?
"I'm gonna go take a shower"... in the sink.
It'd probably open if they were turning the jar the right way
Devon McNickles they did it so it wouldn't actually open
Tidgemo no shit 😂
they should have added a little girl coming in saying amuters(spelt wrong) and opening the jars😂
Isabell Rapp L
REAL MAN MAKES ITS OWN TOMATO SAUCE!!!
A REAL MAN ALSO GROWS HIS OWN TOMATO
*his but yeah...
PUT A HOLE IN THE TOP. THE JAR IS VACUUM SEALED. PROBLEM SOLVED
I think the point of the story is that most guys won't admit that they are not strong enough to open the jar... kind of like asking for direction ..... all you got to do is just run it under hot water for a minutes and it will loosen up LOL
Using hot water is a cheat. Real men break their fingers off opening jars, if need be.
nakyer so you say straight men like to be stupid on purpose?
Stupid? Since when has self-damage, broken bones in the name of bravado, and flowing blood been stupid? What planet are you FROM, lady?
using your brain to find your way around things that excel your physicall strengh is no cheat but smart and a very human trait...
by the way if "men" are eager to "break their fingers off" to open a silly jar, instead of asking for help (or admitting they can't do it).. than it is not to be bold but for false pride and vanity.. at least in that situation...
another thing would be if this would be the only food they'd have and there would be no other way to open it... in that situation I can appriciate it.. because it was done to help and not for pride
+LilysDream You all are way overanalyzing this it's just saying that men in most situations will avoid admitting their too weak for something. Which is true although over exagerated here.
... you jab a hole in the lid with the back point(not the tip) of your chefs knife and it breaks the seal so its easy to open.
GIT-R-DUN STYLE!
This rabbit hole is by far the most entertaining.
As the only daughter of a family of three boys, two male cousins and a father living in the same house for over a decade (AND who are all straight), this vid has brought me so much nostalgia.
Him throwing the jar out the door and smashing against the garage... PRICELESS!!
How this would have gone down if MEN were cooking instead of overly self conscious little boys.
"Damn, this sauce jar is stuck on tight!"
"I know, right? Those things are always a pain."
"Hang on a sec" *Runs under hot water*
"There ya go!"
A child makes up excuses for their shortcomings. An adult acknowledges and owns up to their limitations and weaknesses.
"I'm a big boy, you don't have to tell me how to do it. I can figure it out for myself!" LOL
Yeah it's almost as if that was the entire joke that the sketch was based around????
I wish this was funnier
The dramatic music when they are fighting with the jar. lol
I kept thinking to myself.."Flip it over and pound the bottom a couple times" lol... men... smh
And after doing that . . . do the same thing to the sauce jar! :-)
how could u dislike this?? its classic non offensive humor
Whenever I hear this music I laugh so hard XD.
Well I mean, obviously the lid won't come off if you're just pushing it down or trying to twist it the wrong way haha...
they did it so it wouldn't actually open
Yeah duh...
so why are you telling them to twist it the other way
I know this totally defeats the original purpose of the video but a little bit of brains would have opened that jar in less than ten seconds. A few smacks to the bottom of the jar breaks the seal and it opens right up. That's all I could think during this whole video.
what does it have to do with just straight guys.....
because most strait guys are determined to apear masculine, myself included, part of seaming masculine is being strong
jacob knighten because gay men don't want to appear masculine? I would do the same thing cooking dinner with my boyfriend... I think this video applies to most men gay or straight...
Justin Mabry stereotypes, bro.
no point in getting offended over it.

and before you get offended by THAT, don't. it's a holdover stereotype from the 60s, and it's not likely to go anywhere anytime soon.
What self-respecting gay man wouldn't be able to open a jar? Also, what self-respecting gay man would use sauce from a jar in the first place?
calforrai they wont admit they cant do it
Ask a gay guy to do it! The sauce would be made from scratch, the wine would be poured and the dinner would be ready! Jeez!
Or ya know...they could've just...run the cap under hot water for ten seconds...
You can cut a Little Circle (Well, Big enough to overlap the edge of the jar top) from that Rubberized Kitchen Cupboard Lining stuff & use it to open the Jar. It works Like Magic! I need it bc I have to open my jars by myself :( lolz The top comes off quite easy that way!!! xD
I see I am not the only one who employs the grab a knife and jab it through the lid to break the vacuum.
how does it feel knowing you just spent 4 minutes of your life watching full grown men try to open a jar
Dudes, just stick a knife under the lid to release the air pressure. Works like a charm.
Hold the lid of the jar beneath very hot running water at the kitchen sink. The heat, of course, expands the metal and after a minute or two it opens right up. Works every time!
That moment i hate it so much,
I love cooking and im a straight guy. Tip for opening jars run hot water over the lid it causes it to expand
run edge of lid under hot water, then twist it, or grip with a towel...mission accomplished
that is a very weird place to put a washing machine
it would of being hilarious if his girlfriend came in and opened it LOL
I don't know if English has analog for this, but in Russian we say, Smart guy is not gonna go uphill to the mountain to pass it, smart guy is gonna go around. Because basic understanding how jars work would help.

The San Quentin shirt is awesome.
Depends on what continent you're from.
this is abhorrent and so unnatural. men should not lay with men. you WILL stand before God one day to give account for your rebelliousness towards Him
lol
*cough

ahem
:)
want a cookie?
*munches on cookie yum yum
or you knock it more or less gently on the flour etc. to make it "pop" =)
If you "knock" on the lid or tap it with something with a little weight to it, (like the handle side of a butter knife..) it usually pops right open. Don't know why, just works. & as for the women vs men in the kitchen bit by Mikey Guitar whoever... Have you ever worked in a kitchen? I have. In New York. For a long time. & I'm a girl.

Give a few hard tap on the bottom of the jar before trying to open the lid:)).Youre welcome..

Its actually easy to open use a knife and puncture the cap
kovid singh But then it won't keep.

They do if they live by themselves and dont have the money to eat take out food every single day :P
Men and women don't have the same physical attributes, I mentioned that in my last post. Men and women do however have the same non physical abilities.
lol nice pic with Crash Bandicoot been long time since i've seen one of those x3 i wonder if there's still a Crash Bandicoot at Universal Studios
2:40 made me go "WTF?"
Another way to loosen the lid is to turn it upside down and tap the edges of the lid on the counter gently, then turn it back rightside up and retry opening it.
OMG! You just smack the jar with the back edge of a table knife on the edge of the lid... Woman goes all problem solving, men get emotional, lol!
Stab a hole in the cover to release the vacuum and the cap should be easier to twist off. This looks like the beginning of an advertisement for a jar opener.
Or just give the jar the staredown. Hold it in front of your face, point at it vigorously, then try to open it again.
This works for me.
simple trick: hit the edges of the can lid with a butter knife to break the seal a little, but don't hit it enough to ruin the sealing completely. it makes it much easier.
Things guys won't admit: They're too dumb to run the metal lid under hot water, which would make it expand and come off easily.
Thanks for the hint from Heloise!
Ha if you cant get a jar open hit it with the back of a butter knife also helps if you turn the lid the right way! hahaha
I once used a corkscrew to make a hole in the cap of the spaghetti sauce and then drained it... There are other ways.
They're making fun of THEIR egos. That's the joke. That's what they do. It has nothing to do with views on gays.
Scotch Tape The next straight guy who opens a jar for you may remember this woeful clip
Protip:use a gun, guns solve all.
LOL!!!!!
Dudes I so love your shows! A technical error in this one, the clock on the wall goes back and forth in time!
More like "Things *_American_* Straight Guys Won’t Admit" 😂
If someone else can open the jar I usually let them know that "I loosened it up for ya"
Punch a hole in the lid with a pocket knife; it releases the vacuum and makes it easy to open the jar.
My bro once couldn't open a jar, my mom came and then she just hit the bottle cap and that was it. XD
thats the correct suggestion!!!! haha ive been doing it when a vacuum sealed jar is so tight...
I would have this problem with opening the wine. I'd be too proud to admit I often break the cork.
Actually, men in the kitchen...HIGHLY likely. The vast majority of chefs are men and straight.
That may be the dumbest thing I have ever heard. How exactly do you think evolution works? lol
Is anti-clockwise a UK thing? I've never heard it in the states, but I know it's accepted.
Hahahaha!!! That was funny! But you could just put it under hot water to loosin the can...
Too funny and so true! Its just as funny as when they DONT stop to ask for directions!
LOL @ 2:16 Washing himself that way :P
I love striaght guys... I wish they were gya...
Lol just put it lid down in hot water, the metal lid will expand , and open like a coke can.
sounds like it may not work. throwing it at a house seems to open it everytime though
hahaha no one could open the sauce, you guys were probably Turning it the wrong way
Pretty Pete's Pizza Pies! delivered in five minuets, or you can poke out our eyes!
You just need to puncture a hole in the lid to break the vaccum and it will open
As a woman, I too suffer from the jar lid problem. If I can't do it, I'll never admit it.
If they make a hole in the tap to broke the vacuum, the can will open easily
It would be a lot better if you didn't have one idea for the entire video.
Running the lid under hot water will work too. Simple thermal expansion =)
Every guy is guilty of doing shit like that. Hilarious!
I know right! Ironic, because it is the other way around 99% of the time!
Then the guys would have said "Yeah we probably loosened it up for you"
