Odd enough, when I talk to some of my friends, when I *don't* go "Mhmm" or "right" they'll ask if I'm listening or not lol. It's all about balance and timing, really.
Omg yes! when you get back to town with Preston and skip and you say yea and hes like um hum.. and the camra just shows you staeing at eachother for like 15 seconds straight and then your like.. yea.. and hes like got it ok good..
I'm that guy roo but I actually listen and I've never been called out on it. My brain is so tuned to multipurpose that I can't just do one thing (listening). I either check my phone or say "Yeah yeah" while i listen. If I don't, I get restless.
Ron:Hmm Ted:What? Ron:Gotcha Ted:Never saw it Ron:No, yeah Ted:Is that a friend of yours? Ron:Oh totally, Mhmm Ted:I don't understand Ron:Totally understand Ted:What does that mean? Ron:Sure, Sure Ted:Ah, no never saw it *World implodes*
touchdalight Dude I have a friend back where I used to live and he wouldn't talk while you were trying to explain something to him but he would just straight up interrupt you with a "Oh! Remember when..." And no matter how many times I told him for the 12 years I was around him almost every day he did the same thing..I even got mad at him a few times and he still would go back to doing it not even 45 minutes later, so I just go used to his stupidity.
Don't worry it's actually a really good way to show that your listening (as long as you actually are), as well as a good trigger to tell your brain "hey pay attention" the way it's portrayed here is overboard obviously for comedic purposes but more people should be "active listeners" it keeps you and the the person talking or telling the story more engaged.
I do this often... (but not to the extent to this video, it's like every 7 words or so spoken. i would say "mmhmm" and such.. in a way it just helps me remember what the person says some how >_
So, I went to a meeting today and this guy literally exists. He said "uh-huh, yeah, right, ok, right" while another guy was talking _so much_, all I could think about was this video and it almost made me want to laugh out loud, except it was suuuuper annoying, too, after a while. Just let the guy talk!

do they just want to get it over with fucking why initiate a conversation
When I lived in Finland we had one at my work who did the Finnish equivalencies to “mhm” which is “noonie” or short “ni”. Well I couldn’t understand what the others said, because my finnisch is crap but she loudly said every half second “ni”.... so that was annoying
This is actually a really good way to show that your listening (as long as you actually are), as well as a good trigger to tell your brain "hey pay attention" the way it's portrayed here is overboard obviously for comedic purposes but more people should be "active listeners" it keeps you and the the person talking or telling a story more engaged. Just my two cents and my hope that more people will do this.
TheMadHatterThatMatters Dude have a conversation with someone who shows they are listening and engaged and someone who doesn't and tell me which one you like
Thing is that "ok" "uhuh" and "oh" are all mostly reflexive responsive that anyone can give despite them not paying any attention to what you're saying. I have a friend that would laugh when I finished saying something because I had an amused expression on my face; thing is what I said was completely serious and not a joke or anything funny.
Kalina Hill you can try to parrot what they say occasionally, I mean, repeat the last thing they say or when they stop for a second use one of those words like "yeah" but don't do it when they're speaking, it's really annoying.
Kalina Hill Respond after the person has stopped talking, there's nothing more annoying when you're trying to explain something to someone and they keep talking whilst you're talking.

We Nordic people are often called out for not being able to do small talk. My Finnish friend spent a year in USA and despite being a really social and cheerful people thought he had a depression because he was relatively quiet and respectful during conversations. Is that really such a bad thing? At least we listen to you until the end of the sentence!
yeah, uh... american here. we don't actually "talk too much". your friend was just surrounded by extroverted people. extroverts inhabit every country. they're pretty chill. not just an american thing. or really an american thing at all. it's just a thing.
Americans in general are particularly extraverted though and it's a trait that is encouraged culturally. Where as Finns are some of the most introverted people in the world and stuff like small talk and eye contact just isn't that important to them. There are of course both extraverts and introverts in both places but they are culturally different.
this is super interesting . In Seattle people are known for similar personality traits. I read that quite a few people from Nordic countries immigrated to the Seattle region and over time it has affected the culture. People there are supposedly less "friendly" there than other parts of the U.S.. this phenomena even has a name : the "Seattle freeze" lol.
Loved it! I will say though that when I am on the phone, I do want someone who responds - although not as frequently as the character depicted here. Thank you - I just found you and am enjoying these quite a bit!
THEMONKEYWITHNOSOUL Idk if you're serious or not, but I have anger issues and this actually _did_ trigger me. I got so pissed off I hurt myself while fake-punching my computer. I am glad that I have never met someone like this because I think I would actually try to hurt them. Like, lunge at their face or hit them with something... I _know_ I would have started screaming at them sooner than the video guy did. =/ I need to go have a cigarette and calm down, thinking about this is frustrating me more and giving me a headache.
Nojuan Especial I'm so sorry but I found that ever so slightly amusing. Perhaps whenever I make a joke there's someone out there who really feels that way like when I jokingly say I sexually identify as a TIE fighter
THEMONKEYWITHNOSOUL It's ok, in retrospect it's pretty funny, and I didn't do any lasting damage, not even a bruise. That guy in the video though.... I really would go off on someone like that IRL. I hope I never meet one.
I’ve been realizing how much funnier CollegeHumor skits are than SNL’s. Very different in style, audience, & content, but CH has a really smart & funny team.
I do this, and in the end of the video im not embarrassed at all!! That dude was being a duesh. Ronathan was listening completely to him and was willing to help AND was interested in the well being of his pets!
I could tolerate someone doing that, if he actually listens.. But not while it is in a lecture or class and the lecturer is talking to the whole audience and there is this one guy going "uhuh. Sure. Thats what I was thinking" as he was the only one. The worst one I ever met was at a planetarium show and it was dark and I could not see this guy but he was as loud as the lecturer and I cringed for the whole show.
God I hate people like this. It would be good if they waited until they were sure you stopped talking to say "yeah, uh huh". But they always do it OVER what you're saying. So annoying.
+Nathan Galang Real listening would entail shutting up and hearing what they're saying, processing it, and coming up with a response to it. Not saying "uh huh. yeah, uh huh" while they're speaking. But I dunno maybe I'm just being too sensitive.
Darude Sandstorm Truth hurts and besides you got some people who love the sound of their voice and want nothing more than for you to stare into their eyes with content for 20 minutes at a time. There's nothing wrong with saying yeah or nodding, it shows that you are listening and not fazed out.
Phlegethon So do I, annoys the shit outta me every time. Plus I can see from his facial expressions and body language that he’s not interested (he would even do this if he asked me a question), at that moment I just stop talking mid sentence and just zone out in disgust. It pisses me off even to think about it lol smh
@@InspectahDeck718 why dont you use filler words to make words that mean nothing so you can catch him nodding to him being called gay in some convoluted way that he would totally hear if he was paying attention or tell him exactly what he does
My sister in law is like that, albeit not quite that extreme. Still I had the impression that she wanted to make fun of me or wanted me to stop talking, so I asked my girl about that habit. She explained to me that this is quite common and is intended as a way to show the other person that you're listening. Took it as that, never have been weirded out by it since then and yeah, she REALLY is a great listener. So meh, a weird quirk to get used to, but not nearly as bad as some other things I've experienced.
FreakFilms101 That wouldn't really work s a formula. One doesn't talk at all and only replies with "haven't heard of that" and the other just interrupts someone by agreeing with what they're saying, which can't happen if the other person doesn't even talk.
Good communication means empathizing with the person you're speaking to. I hate rigid rules people try to conceive for communication. It's like, yeah, they might work on the average person, but the middle 1% of a bell curve is still only 1%. Some people will get thrown off if you 'actively listen'. They'll lose their train of thought if you ask a question, or if you make a comment it might cause them to go off track and start an entirely different conversation without getting resolution from the first one. This is actually intentionally done in business: If, during a negotiation, the conversation starts going in a direction you don't want, you ask someone a (often irrelevant) question to distract them. Then there are people who are very obviously self-conscious about NOT being listened to. As they talk without receiving a verbal sign that they're being listened to they get quieter, or talk slower, or just stop talking entirely. Active listening is great for people like this. t. Unemployed Because 'Conversationalist' is only a Job in Infinite Jest.
There are literally people like this, they learned about active listening and then way over do it and it feels absolutely terrible to be on the other side of them.
I have autism and I always check in too much like this guy or too little. I know you're supposed to let somebody finish their sentence or point before you check in but I have a hard time figuring that out. This problem has embarrassed me many times but I'm working to improve my communication.
It seems like you guys are just starting to criticize things normal people do. I've never had a problem with people who say "yeah" while you're talking.
Odd enough, when I talk to some of my friends, when I *don't* go "Mhmm" or "right" they'll ask if I'm listening or not lol. It's all about balance and timing, really.

I watched like 50 of these videos, this one is still the top spot.
Listening to him is driving me insane.
Hands down the best CH video
The thing is, I actually know people who do this. 😂 makes convos really akward. It's like "JUST SHUT UP AND LET ME TALK 😂😂😂"
it hurts to watch because i do this and i know i wont be able to stop
Fun fact: still haven't stopped
This is the best video on the internet.
I like how the names of the annoying guys are like slightly odder versions of common names like Ronathan and Tedward 😂😂
Im stoned and this is hilarious
MEMEMEET I'm hilarious and this is stoned.
I would seriously punch someone like that in the face if they did that.
This is literally a gold script👏🏾
honestly my fav college humor vid series
I am one-hundred percent this person and I hate myself. Especially with texting (no wonder my friends hate me)
every visit to the apple store
Hyperactive Listening. Haha.
Good communication means empathizing with the person you're speaking to.
I hate rigid rules people try to conceive for communication. It's like, yeah, they might work on the average person, but the middle 1% of a bell curve is still only 1%.
Some people will get thrown off if you 'actively listen'. They'll lose their train of thought if you ask a question, or if you make a comment it might cause them to go off track and start an entirely different conversation without getting resolution from the first one. This is actually intentionally done in business: If, during a negotiation, the conversation starts going in a direction you don't want, you ask someone a (often irrelevant) question to distract them.
Then there are people who are very obviously self-conscious about NOT being listened to. As they talk without receiving a verbal sign that they're being listened to they get quieter, or talk slower, or just stop talking entirely. Active listening is great for people like this.

I want to investigate the spooky old McCreary house!
Hahaha Ronathan! I have never heard of anyone named Ronathan.
AKmotorider150 and I have never heard of someone named AKmotorider150
That is, quite obviously, not my name. That is a username.
AKmotorider150 Ronathan, is obviously not his real name. It's just a character.
***** I'm aware of that. It's just the prospect of a person named Ronathan, like the fictional depiction in this video, is funny.
that was hard to watch
Ronathan once asked me "hey, hows it going?" and when i started telling him how it was going.... he walked away. -_-
i love these old CH sketches
“I feel- I feel that that is me...”
now I understand why I don’t have friends...
Collegehumour has thought me only one thing, in these scenarios a closed fist is the only solution. Or drugs, lots and lots of drugs.
50% of the teachers at my school.
@DonaldTrump
There are literally people like this, they learned about active listening and then way over do it and it feels absolutely terrible to be on the other side of them.
That ending was awesome
I have autism and I always check in too much like this guy or too little. I know you're supposed to let somebody finish their sentence or point before you check in but I have a hard time figuring that out. This problem has embarrassed me many times but I'm working to improve my communication.
As an aspie I feel this 😢 I just feel like people talk too slow sometimes when I already know what they're going to say.
I hate this kind of people lol
It seems like you guys are just starting to criticize things normal people do.
I've never had a problem with people who say "yeah" while you're talking.
Doctor Cereal But too much is overkill
Love this channel
I can't believe all the people recognizing they're like him... it's so annoying
