Grandpa, the Cuban missile crisis was not poggers.
NO grandpa, we cannot build a wall between the US and Africa... how would that even work?!
I’d go as far as saying it was kinda sus
but why not?
that's cap
"They're called Brazil nuts, Grandpa... No, Grandpa, they've always been called that. They didn't get 'woke.'"
Impressing your grandma with oversaturated internet humor is the best feeling
And you can make granpa laugh with your most out of pocket jokes
Hits like crack
true
it's like giving McDonalds to a medieval peasant. To you it's junk food and overdone, but to him it's a new exotic luxury.
Not more saturated than a cheeto
I hate when I'm talking with my grandpa on the phone and an exorbitantly strong frontlight starts blinding me.
That's why I avoid talking to my grandparents these days
My grandpa is in hell, so the front light is also red, plus there's a smoke machine 😬
?
Exorbitant is such a pleasant word, we should collectively start using it more
This happens whenever my brother calls our grandparents. I would know…I am the frontlight.
Turns out “he never misses, the absolute legend!” was about Lee Harvey Oswald all along

The weirdest Karl Jobst video.
It goes even deeper, this was really all about John Wilkes Booth
I personally still subscribe to the theory that JFKs head just did that on its own
Seems legit
That’s a long YT channel name
He suddenly had an extraordinarily brilliant idea
Yes JFK was a big gооnеr. He was known for sitting in his private tоilеt for hours where he was keeping a personal collection of рlауbоу mаgаzines. Sometimes he was getting distracted by a professional presidential poo sniffer. He didn't mind it tho.
Too many liberal ideas will do that to ya
Grandma wrote her thoughts in a diary to filter them, Grandpa wrote a manifesto for the world
This is accurate. :) old dudes do not try to impress anyone.

Funniest thing: the women in my family are all super conservative and judgemental and the men are dead
this is my case too! is there a minimum quota of old conservative relatives families must have?
@@kravicleDepends on your definition of "conservative"
Not saying anything in relation to your family in particular, but there's a thing in conservative families that don't believe in divorce and do believe in the women being responsible for the food where sometimes the men just die young for unclear reasons..
@@genericname8727 when your wife seasons your meal with polonium-210 instead of salt (we're human, we make mistakes 😊)
@@kravicle It's just wisdom. There's a reason why people who are conservative in their youth stay conservative, but people who were anti-conservative in their youth tend to turn conservative as they get more life experience.
Bringing up Man Carrying Thing around my grandma is banned. Last time we did she started having a seizure and began reciting Revelation in perfect Latin.
That'
It’s almost Tuesday you need to do it again
That's weird, I would have expected Greek
Did you know where we get the word "Apocalypse" from?
The Book of Revelation, in Greek, is called "The Apocalypse of John."
But the word "Apocalypse" did NOT originally refer to the end of the world.
Apocalypse is a transliteration of Greek meaning "Revelation". A revealing. This vision was revealed to John, and so it was called "Revelation".
But over time, the word "apocalypse" became synonymous with the end of the world, despite the original word not even implying such a thing.

I was about to write a witty remark but then realised there’s more to life than whatever fleeting joy that would’ve provided. Thanks for the funny video, Man Carrying Thing. Looking forward to your next one.
Wise!
Yeah but have you ever had TWO witty comments get a lot of likes?? That confirms you are a modern poet and need to keep grinding.
this is my dad. 100% him. My kid knows to avoid any topics that may trigger his 1960s-era "conservative values" or get him to show off his Nixon memorabilia collection.

I can't talk about Man Carrying Thing with my Grandpa, he thinks he's Nixon reincarnated
My grandmother died in her 70's in 1991. She never lived to send an email or see a web browser. I'm glad she was spared the horrors of Facebook.
As a Speed Racer fan and LBJ hater, I've been loving the relatable short-form comedy content on this platform from Man Carrying Thing, and will continue until some kind of controversy renders it socially uncomfortable to admit to doing so, upon which I shall pretend I always had a feeling he missed sometimes.
The absolute legend!
Nevermind, Man has given my comment an arbitrary sticker of recognition. I will now develop a strong personal attachment over this fleeting moment of connection and will defend him with my life against all human decency. Anyone who says he misses just doesn't understand what it's like to Carry Thing.
i love when i repeat a trump meme from 2016 and my grandma laughs like i just made it up
grandma being sweet but subtly racist; a childhood classic
GRANDMOTHER THAT IS NOT AN APPROPRIATE ABBREVIATION FOR "PAKISTANI"
Man Carrying… uhh, you know, the Thing
Talking politics with grandpa is at least straightforward and he doesn’t hide what he thinks, talking politics with grandma is a psychological game where I gotta watch out for her subtly dropping conspiracy theories and giving me books about dinosaurs not being real.
I am a Christian and synthesize it with a trust in evolutionary science and dinosaurs, probably exclusively because dinosaurs are too rad to not exist
"Grandpa, no, Taylor Swift cannot 'buy' Kanye West anymore, that was abolished in 1865."
No, they're just the owners of the NBA now, and Democrat politicians still...
You Grandpa’s over 159?!
Grandma: Can we talk?
Grandpa: I HAVE THINGS TO SAY.
Grandpa doesn’t even know what Woke is he just knows it’s "bad".
Grandpa, I don't know which Bush was more skibidi
Grandpa doesn't talk politics. He's just sayin'.
Dropping “They got Al Capone on tax fraud” during any Trump criminal/impeachment conversation hits grandmas on a different level. They’ll tell everybody they meet for years that you said that.
That's why I don't talk about politics with my grandpa. That and also because he's dead
Man Carrying a Rocky Relationship with Grandpa
Grandpa, what you are describing doesn't even sound like it was legal in your day, let alone now...
Grandpa bringing new slurs into existence like a whimsical god
Wow, this is... too accurate. I visited them one day and had a civil discussion about trans people with my grandma, and then my grandpa shouted at me, demanding to know what I thought of diversity.
This isn't how either conversation would go, it would just be a lot of silence seeing as all my grandparents are dead
I've watched all your videos, and "NOT BECAUSE OF VIETNAM" may be the best line in any of them.
I like the genuine fear in Man’s face and voice when he says “Not because of Vietnam!?”
your grandpa sounds like the type of guy who would make a joke about Plankton farting and then dying
No one would joke about that
With me it was the exact opposite, grandpa was chill, but grandma was super racist. She once gave me a list of people I shouldn't trust and it included like 20 different ethnicities. Miss you grandma.
Ive never actually had a grandpa before, but I have an elderly coworker whose been a very valuable mentor to me. I work in wine, and he's taught me a lot. But I have had to learn to accept the fact that anything I ask him could very quickly devolve. Like one time, we had gotten into South Africa, and I got a very detailed rundown on the wines they do well and the wines they do poorly, and all of this wraps up with, "Anyway, the whole country's gone to shit simce Apartheid ended." And that was that.
And now imagine what it’s like for German people
*argentinians
*takes notes*
Actually pretty chill
OOOOOO
@@Romapolitanit is NOT pretty chill. Talking to any 80-90 year old grandpa in Germany about politics is the worst mistake one could make

Hope he visits Pakistan 🇵🇰
My gramma is the exact opposite and I accidentally got into a political conversation with her yesterday when I took her to get her driver's license renewed. I love her to bits, but thank god she doesn't vote anymore.
I love how he moves the phone away from his ear because his grandma is laughing so loud.
Don’t ask your Libertarian grandpa about the civil rights act
My grandma once said she had a black friend as a kid so she wasn't trying to be racist.
My grandpa once said that we need to stop admitting immigrants entirely.
Grandma: "Oh, dear. I think I'll vote for this Kamela girl. She dresses so nicely, her suits are too pretty."
Grandpa: "Let me tell you this thing I saw on the news about THE BLACKS-!"
*HANGS UP THE PHONE*
For me its my grandma, do NOT ask her what she thinks of Mussolini
Best part is formulating a 19 point explanation for the flaws in his worldview, and then realizing he got his opinions from a Fox News pundit and all of the context you learned is completely irrelevant to him.
I love these conversations, I kinda just agree with everything so my grandpa recalls stories. He’ll talk about why Reagan was the best president and then seamlessly transition into talking about protesting him all the time because he was Vice President of the General Electric Union.
Well, Oswald did open up someone's mind.
At family gatherings everyone's talking about some current event while Granddad just silently watches us all with a scowl, slightly shaking his head. Every now and then Grandmother pats his hand like she's afraid he might share an opinion. Good times.
Man carries uncomfortable conversations
Carrying*
Oh no, you’ve got it backwards. My grandpa is the most chill person ever and my grandma’s political views legitimately scared me by the time she died.
My family is the total opposite of this. My grandad was the most chill guy to ever walk the earth. Sure he’d use an outdated term or two, but he never really meant it in a mean way? I miss him a lot, he was proof that age wasn’t an excuse for bigotry
"No grandpa i dont think Lee Harvy Oswald was woke" 😂😂 I am fucking cackling like a hyena
Grandpa, you can't joke about plankton farting and dying
Grandpa be cooking up some wacky ideas
the way your videos so lightly touch on politics is so funny. they're inoffensive and wholly relatable.
The thing Man was carrying this whole time were the original Watergate tapes.
"They're called Brazil nuts, Grandpa... No, Grandpa, they've always been called that. They didn't become 'woke.'"
Man Carrying This Phone Conversation... and an incalculable amount of fear at what grandpa will say next.

Love your channel btw

For me, “Grandpa” could be substituted in this sketch for “Dad”, or “Best friends from High School”.

my grandma or babushka had not much talk in politics
but she does miss what she calls the Old Days, when it was the USSR but says, "i already have a family still alive, and will only miss you all when i am gone"
I think that’s a recurring thing with old people, especially if they were among the privileged in the past. My paternal grandma still raves on about how good life was during the military dictatorship and how everything was cheap and there was no corruption… Even though one of her brothers in law was arrested and beaten up real badly by the regime.
@@marianatheschizoid5912 she never had much trouble and maybe we both have different opinions, i can describe myself as leaning to Anti-Authoritarian, Libertarian-Socialist but just things more better than how it is now, am i proud of my country, to some extent yes, my grandfather was a soldier, god bless his soul
@@КГБКолДжорджКостанца I’m also Libertarian Socialist/Anarchist leaning. I used to be more militant but I’ve been losing hope for the world lately. My dad’s family is fairly conservative Catholic tho. To be fair that’s kind of what’s expected of a well off family here in Southern Brazil. My mum’s family is chill, I’d describe them as Lib/SocDem. I have some more left leaning family members tho, like my aunt. At this point I just don’t bring up politics with them, don’t wanna cause a fuss.
@@marianatheschizoid5912 intriguing :D I can understand, though most of my family on my mom's side is close to left wing socialism, my dad is an ultra-orthodox conservative kinda person but says he has some socialist ideals to agree with
Overall I never get into debacle with my family
@@КГБКолДжорджКостанца Ah, the anti-authoritarian libertarian socialist that is proud of their Imperialist, dictatorial country. Makes sense. Slava Ukraini.
this literally happened to me last week on family vacation, its kinda stunning how similar this man's experiences are to my own lol

Political discussions with my grandpa should be avoided. We both actually share similar opinions, but the conversations just get so heated and frightening so quickly. He takes them a little bit too seriously, especially if you disagree with him lol.

“great grandpa we love you but you really should drop out of the election”
It’s the exact opposite with my grandma. Either she puts on fox news, a church session recording, or a christian radio network anytime I visit her.
Grandpa’s always just chilling.

I remember my grandpa telling me Obama was some kind of miner, or was it digger...
Hohoho, Cheeto!! How delightfully droll.

Old people are either the nicest people you’ve ever met or the most racist and or homophobic.
I think this is the most I’ve related to one of these videos
Honestly, watching this made me appreciate my grandfather even more. The old man has some old timey beliefs sure, but he isn't racist or a religious zealot who wants the world to turn his way, he's just an old man with stories, a belief, and a sense of humor. If anything, I've learned more about politics and religion than I have from anything else because of him, and for that, im forever grateful.
"Not because of Vietnam" got me. Thanks for the after work chuckle.
