It's possible that eating lemons is just a regular thing for this guy but on that day he went to the dentist and got a fluoride treatment and was therefore not allowed to have citrus until a certain amount of time had passed.
He had one of those "miracle berry" tablets that blocks out sour and bitter flavors so he wanted to nonchalantly enjoy a whole lemon in class to establish dominance. The effect only lasts like 30 minutes though, so once he knew he'd run out of time he decided against further embarrassing himself.
They really are called miracle berries. The tablets contain miraculin, a protein found in the fruit of the miracle fruit plant (Synsepalum dulcificum).
@@ToriKo_ Lemons by themselves are so sour that they're nigh impossible to eat; it's not like an orange. Acting like you're going to eat a whole lemon, therefore, is pretty unexpected
That's nothing. My brother will take whole, unpeeled oranges and just eat the whole thing like you would an apple. And then for the rest of the day his breath will smell like orange peel.
@@ksfishchannel as someone who eats lemons sometimes, it's just not really that intense, that or some people are more sensitive to sour things and I just have high sour immunity
My favourite theory about this that I’ve heard is that they’d had one of those candies or whatever they are that switch your sweet/sour taste and he wanted to eat a lemon while it would be sweet but it had worn off by then.
He probably thought class was almost over and was about to devour that lemon. But when it took you too long to dismiss the class, he asked for the time and realized he started peeling too early.
before i watched mbmbam i had no idea it was an advice show. i saw this clip and thought it was just this poor man trying to tell a harrowing experience from his day
Just eating a whole lemon in class is such a power move and I really want to do it now.. it has similar energy to eating an orange with the peel still on
Oh, I'm soo doing this after summer, I'm going to walk into every class with a lemon and start eating it, Will my teeth be suffering by the end of the day? yes, yes they will. (Context I do like to eat lemons like oranges bc I like sour things.)
When people ask me what I listen to, I respond muhbimbam. When they ask what is, I respond "an advice show where they answer important questions" and link them this video. Thanks for making it.
Honestly I have an intro to criminal justice lecture this Tuesday and now I’m tempted to bring a lemon, start peeling it, then ask whoever’s closest for the time, and then regardless of their answer, putting my lemon back in my bag. Just to see their reaction
Holy shit there's absolutely no indication whether the person who sent in the question was another student or the instructor. It's possible that this dude raised his hand and asked the professor for the time so he could know whether it was the sour hour yet.
Not even joking, this happened in my class today. A girl in my class just pulled out a half of a lemon from her lunch and started eating it, not even flinching.
You gotta ask the time BEFORE you start peeling when you want to make sure its lemon time Otherwise youll get all sorts of dust and other particles in that juicy boi AMATEURS
Justin’s got some MEATY chuckles in this one dude. I can see how he nearly faints from laughing sometimes cause he sounds like a smoker choking on his own spit
Dude I legit thought this video is going to be inspirational and shit because of how the way RUclips recommend it to me but shit man I was caught off guard
According to my wife, this could've been about me. Edit: it might help to add that I eat lemons, while maintaining eye contact with whoever is lucky enough to be there.
bless the animation of the lemon matching with the audio of the smacks on the table
who-what-videos-maybe omg yes! 😂😂
That part was great! 🤣🤣
SAME if that didn't make me smile

You mean ELEMONTHIRSTY
What lemon boy doesn't realize, is that it's always sour hour
Why doesn't this have a million likes?
sour hour isn't a time of day, it's a way of life
It's always lime time. I always make an excuse for some juice. The term for tanginess. Citric acid rapids, if you will.
Maybe he took one of those magic fruit tablets that make things taste sweet but couldn't eat his lemon during the effective time?
I literally thought the same thing.
Well more likely he wanted to eat it before class started as their professor doesn't allow food in class
"magic fruit tablets"
M-berry
I want to try that now

I would give anything to have seen you have this epiphany.
He had one of those "miracle berry" tablets that blocks out sour and bitter flavors so he wanted to nonchalantly enjoy a whole lemon in class to establish dominance. The effect only lasts like 30 minutes though, so once he knew he'd run out of time he decided against further embarrassing himself.
By golly you’ve cracked it
That's actually a top tier theory. I'd go as far as to say it's basically canon.
PyroNinja713 someone else said something about the dentist and I think that’s just as likely if not more likely than the sour tablet.
I would just assert dominance and eat it anyways
They really are called miracle berries. The tablets contain miraculin, a protein found in the fruit of the miracle fruit plant (Synsepalum dulcificum).
D-did he get lemon juice all over his bag?
If he peeled it carefully there would be no lemon juice leaking out, just like with a tangerine. I'm sure he was very careful and everything was fine.
hey, if it did, his bag would smell very lemony fresh, so I see no problem here
Potkanka thank you for this reassuring positive energy
I would think he put it in a little plastic baggy so the lemon wouldn't do that but that's just what I'd do
my favorite part is that he feels it necessary to include that its an intro to criminal justice class
Fun fact: I actually did this once. My teacher just burst out laughing.
X Wilson I don’t get this. What’s the joke?
@@ToriKo_ the joke is that you cant actually peel a lemon....I don't know thatbfuck the joke is lol
@@Warcheiftan you can definitely peel a lemon
@@ToriKo_ Lemons by themselves are so sour that they're nigh impossible to eat; it's not like an orange. Acting like you're going to eat a whole lemon, therefore, is pretty unexpected
@@animatrix1490 I- I eat lemons by themselves
My grandfather eats lemons.
Except he doesn’t peel them first
They are sliced though
He takes one, puts *salt* on it
Then eats it
That's nothing. My brother will take whole, unpeeled oranges and just eat the whole thing like you would an apple. And then for the rest of the day his breath will smell like orange peel.
"eat the whole thing like you would an apple" W-what? Surely you don't mean you also eat the core of the apple... … ...right?
Salt actually works very well with fruits to knock out the sourness...
Flying Cakepop interesting... I don’t want to try it though lol
O_O . . .wat
This terrifies me because I was in the process of eating a peeled lemon the moment I scrolled past it in my recommended. How. Why.
It's a sign
sooo... what time did you eat that lemon?
Ok so wait you just eat lemons? How do you handle the acidity and sourness?
@@ksfishchannel as someone who eats lemons sometimes, it's just not really that intense, that or some people are more sensitive to sour things and I just have high sour immunity

At least the lemon wasn't combustible.

I AM GONNA BURN YOUR HOUSE DOWN! *WITH THE LEMONS!*
“Make life TAKE THE LEMONS *BACK*”
This is still one of my favorite MBMBaM stories. There's just so much emotion and mystery in this ridiculous little anecdote.
"Time for me to watch you peel and eat a lemon, APPARENTLY?"
No matter how many times I've heard this clip out of context, I never had ANY IDEA that it was from the McElroys.
I love that Justin starts to break down before he's even halfway through the question
If I could put my understanding of this video on a metaphorical scale, “I don’t get it” would be atop an endless staircase from where I am now.
I... I don't get _this_
@@AlexK-jp9ncthey mean that they do not, and cannot understand it, due to the endless staircase being endless. Hope this helps
My favourite theory about this that I’ve heard is that they’d had one of those candies or whatever they are that switch your sweet/sour taste and he wanted to eat a lemon while it would be sweet but it had worn off by then.
comparing this lemon goof to the glass shark goof, justin has only 2 ways of comedy. endess stream of thought, vs wheezing between every goddamn word
MY EARS SOMETIMES DON'T PROCESS THINGS RIGHT THANK YOU FOR MAKING THIS AAA I'M SO GLAD I CAN UNDERSTAND WHAT THEY'RE SAYING LMAO THANK U UR A CHAMP
He probably thought class was almost over and was about to devour that lemon. But when it took you too long to dismiss the class, he asked for the time and realized he started peeling too early.
This is how I was introduced to the McElroy brothers. I had literally no concept of them before seeing this, but by god did I love encountering this.
A student took out a whole lemon and started to peel it.
This is what happened to his mood.
Griffin’s fucking crow laugh is my favourite thing
before i watched mbmbam i had no idea it was an advice show. i saw this clip and thought it was just this poor man trying to tell a harrowing experience from his day

“It’s waaaaaay too late for lemons!”
i saw this post on tumblr about a year and a half ago and it got me into their podcast!
This is the video that introduced me to MBMBAM. Needless to say, I was very confused at the time.
Pathetic. He actually peels his lemons.
sims will no longer be allowed to get in bed with the grim reaper
its a lemon o'clock (eleven)

gonna do this next time I'm in a lecture you've tempted me
The Citrus Sleeper Agent angle had me cracking up. The thought that he needed the right code phrase to go ahead is hilarious.
The lemon falling with each smack still gets me
my boy just waiting for l e m o n time
My ex boyfriend would eat whole lemons without peeling them and then eat raw flour to offset the acidity 😂
wtf that sounds horrible xD
God
And you're sure this was a human being?
That wasn’t your boyfriend, that was Garbothrax
doesn't raw flour give you a chance of salmonella???
Holy shit i think.... i think this was the first McElroy thing I ever saw besides griffins vine
Maybe he was trying to break the world record of fastest lemon peeler
It's amazing how far back they predicted Argonaut Keene
Holy shit there's absolutely no indication whether the person who sent in the question was another student or the instructor. It's possible that this dude raised his hand and asked the professor for the time so he could know whether it was the sour hour yet.

I would like to report that I actually rolled over from laughing
This is the video I accidentally clicked on years ago that made me start listening mbmbam. Thank you. 🤣🤣🤣
I love eating lemon, it’s weird because I love the acid but at the same time I’m suffering, but it’s such a good flavor.
I have listened to this bit like ten times by now and I still laugh every time
The poor man just wanted to eat his lemon
Oh my God. This video was seriously medicinal.
Humorologists. Need to study this video.
You gotta ask the time BEFORE you start peeling when you want to make sure its lemon time
Otherwise youll get all sorts of dust and other particles in that juicy boi

Thought this was gonna be some kind of life lesson, I thought wrong.....
Kinetic typography is the best man.... I'll listen to any song as long as the music vid has kinetic typography
This video popped up in my algorithm and it's how I found out about mbmbam. Thank you 😍
I saw this on Tumblr months ago and it was the final thing that pushed me to actually listen to the McElroys.
Thank You
56 seconds of a man having the happiest moment in his life.
I'm glad this was my first exposure to these brilliant boys.
it's the sour hour
This is still the funniest video on RUclips two years later
It’s been over half a decade and I still think about this interaction
It’s fitting he’s in that class, because I believe his classmate just provided him with another way to identify a serial killer.
Thanks youtube algorithm, you never fail to disappoint me
Thank you for not claiming this piece to be animated like so many others
His goals are beyond our understanding.
When I’m the only one laughing with this man’s laugh
Im assuming he wanted the other guy to say “its lemon time”
**dude starts dying while telling the story :)**
He didn't miss a single day to eat lemons till one day...
Justin’s got some MEATY chuckles in this one dude. I can see how he nearly faints from laughing sometimes cause he sounds like a smoker choking on his own spit
Gotta tell him it's half past lime
My best guess is he had fluoride on his teeth recently and had to wait before eating?
Truly the only bad part of this bit is that the question asker was taking a criminal justice class
I’ve never laughed harder in my life
My best friend and I met by exchanging apples in class, and i think this lemon eater is our mortal enemy
I thought he was making a clock out of a lemon and that's why he asked the time. But he was wrong, so he became ashamed of his lemon.
I think what stings the most is that I came here expecting some kind if answer and I'll be leaving without one.
this is the thing that introduced me to the mcelroy world. amazing.
i think you guys are overlooking the fact that HES PEELING AND EATING A LEMON
When I eat lemons I eat the entire thing, the peel is one of the best parts
Two days ago, my little brother straight up peeled a lemon and ate it as a snack. It was a startling sight.
Poor dude couldn't enjoy his lemon in time.
Dude I legit thought this video is going to be inspirational and shit because of how the way RUclips recommend it to me but shit man I was caught off guard
I thought this was gonna be an in depth video essay about the characteristic typology of lemons
Someone in this discord server I’m in sent this, the whole server is about lemons
Link?
I’ve been waiting for this for my entire life oh my gooooodddddddddd
real chads eat the lemon unpeeled
Dang, I thought this was like a weird music video for some song by a band I’d never heard of.
Never gets old
🎼 it's lemon o'clock somewhere
This sounds like something i would do not gonna even lie XD
I think, what happened was that he was gonna eat the lemon, but realized he didn’t have the time.
Fuxk i just realized i used to eat lemons when i was a little kid. This brought back memories that i didnt knew i had
I at least revisit this clip twice a year
I am here from a my hero academia video. And I am very happy.
same

According to my wife, this could've been about me.
Edit: it might help to add that I eat lemons, while maintaining eye contact with whoever is lucky enough to be there.
I love how the "while maintaining eye contact" was added as though they were being challenged
i love yt recommendations
