I am a Sparrow
my favorite food is sparrows
sparrows are the best
I eat them everyday
I love to hear them
scream
Editing In this episode was fantastic
Make more videos man!!!!!!!!
If you review "FALL" I'll let you cannibalize me.
Hey do you have patron or somewhere where the 4 letter words arent scrubbed from your videos? Something about your use of swears just makes the experience hit harder, its like trying to eat a cake with iceing but then karen who doesnt like comes along and scraps it off with a knife.
OK ngl the dude calling out the other couples shitty parenting made me smile...
Didn't knew I was gonna watch drama Tv, glad I did
i was living for that moment. especially when that slenderfaced karen wanted to talk about bens mental illness. like if you were so worried about this mans mental illness WHY MAKE HIM BABY SIT your KIDS. every insult she threw just came right back at her trash parenting
@@glamglam8347 gotta love nerd's WOOO
Dang, that was awesome! I pray to have that much bite if I one day have such an argument!
I love how every horror movie has just one cop with a 3 bullets in a mag and half asleep
Wouldn't you know it, she was just a week away from retirement too?
@@MrNickPresley What happened?
She took an early retirement. Damn!
Just like real life!
@@mysticquests don't be absurd
Real cops are half asleep with full mags.

I feel so bad for Ben. Even if you think he killed someone shouldn't your history with him lead you to believe he had an episode and should be given mental help and not abandoning him.
Bro, they think he literally just killed one of their children. 'Abandoning' him is a pretty lenient action for most parents. Though the parents in this movie were terrible :p
@Kaden Woods its a murder, possibly due to a mental episode. Maybe keep an eye on the guy and call the police. Especially if the guy is clearly shaken up and not running away like a normal criminal.
@@kap1618 Eh, that's definitely the Girlfriend's duty. Its totally normal that the parents wanted both space from the guy that literally just murdered their child and to get said guy away from their remaining child. Also, while mental health issues are no joke they definitely don't excuse a person's actions. This being a horror movie about insects inhabiting children's bodies aside, the guy objectively caused a child's death. Not many people in real life would have much sympathy for the guy especially because it wasn't completely accidental(as the sister can attest.) The child was being a brat and hitting him with the shovel so he took it and hit the child back hard enough to kill them. That wouldn't be looked at as a oopsie.
Anyhow... since we know that this is in fact a movie about some mystical insects taking over two children's body the above statement is meaningless but I think you might be getting reality of the situation confused. Murder, especially against a child, is quite a bit above a 'Aw, poor guy. The others should be helping him after his mental break'.
@@kadenwoods3242 My rational is, that if a guy has a mental breakdown and kills a kid, you might want to keep an eye on him until the cops show up. I would understand attacking him but if left alone he might hurt someone else or kill himself. At least arrested he be off the streets and can't anyone. Maybe I just have a soft spot for the mentally ill and someone having an episode is vastly different than premeditated murder.
Being mentally ill my entire life i can confirm that this movie is one hundred percent accurate to my own experiences with loved ones and how they treat me.
I don't blame Ben. I blame literally everyone else for not being an adult. Mantis monsters gonna mantis monster, but adults can and should control themselves.
I feel so bad for Ben he didn’t deserved any of this and was the only character that deserved to survive…
Poor Ben... he really didn't deserve any of this
and he killed himself because his stupid wife called him names
Yeah, poor bastard. I'm not going to lie though, I probably should've shived the little bastard too.
@@somechupacabrawithinternet8866 Women, am I right?😂😂
@@somechupacabrawithinternet8866little more than that
I mean, I know it's a convenient plot trope and everything, but I would pay so much money to never see a movie where "you take meds/have mental illness therefore you cannot be trusted to perceive or evaluate reality" is a thing again.
That's not the problem. The problem is people who are told all these crazy things and not even spending one minute to see of it's actually true. I mean if someone is telling me something crazy I'd be really interested in proving them wrong and not just blowing it off.
As a person with mental illness, ptsd and agoraphobia, who's had to deal with serious legal issues caused by people that firmly believed having mental illness means you're an automatic danger and can't be trusted (and incorrectly believed the courts would share that view) I can safely say it'll stop being a plot trope when it stops being a real thing.
@@asandax6don't know Had a schizophrenic uncle growing up. Before he started his meds he was convinced that the Cia was sending him coded messages through the plumbing in the basement. In his case humoring the delusion even slightly would have been disastrous. Usually presenting evidence that that they are wrong isn't going to convince them of anything and will likely result in them turning on you.
@@riftvallance2087only problem there was that they take no effort in keeping their kids away from him like if my brother was schizophrenic I would let him talk to my kids but I wouldn’t leave him alone with him after he is possibly showing signs of having an episode and then her doing all that at the end knowing he was mentally stable and then leaving him to contemplate what he’s done and how a little boy has died because of his illness was just too much
@Asanda they clearly have a problem with the scenario they stated, you're saying the problem they have is not the problem is silly. They don't want a movie where people debate someone with a mental illness, they want horror movies to stop using the trope of one.
You just have an entirely different problem with it, not the true problem.
I also hate how it went from dude being the main character and his mental problems to the once again female in distress and surviving somehow
Seriously... Such an eye-rollingly unnecessary cliche that had little impact when we spent all this time with Ben. His wife with the kids would've been a far stronger climax narratively, and allowed for a more complete character arc with him.
It would have been good if she paid the price for not being an adult and leaving the bad situation as well as abandoning her husband' if at the end she realizes her mistakes and dies to save the world, it would have been a much better story with a good lesson.
good to see final girl syndrome survives even to this day.
Well we don't know if she survived it's honestly up to us she pushed them down that fall so I doubt a car will do much damage 😂
I forget which movie it was@@Xezian , but the most aggregious example of that trope had a brother saving his sister, beating the monster, then on the way out being inexplicably dragged into hell while the children's mother, who had died like an hour earlier in the film is magically resurrected.
If the duckling from Courage the Cowardly Dog and Bendy from Foster’s Home for Imaginary Friends have taught me anything, it’s that these are my least favorite kinds of stories ever. “Innocent looking person constantly gaslighting a person trying to prove them guilty” is a trope that fills me with RAGE.
I would ask the mantis thingies if the replacements were better and more behaved than the original. if yes, I would pay and bribe the mantis thingies to do more.
That'd make for a fun body-snatcher parody plot, where the fake humans end up being better people than the ones they replace.
@@OfftheRadar9790 I feel like I've seen that before in a teen show or cartoon.
@@ShadowPhoenix82 Rick & morty maybe
What the actual hell💀💀💀💀….lmao I’d do the same 😂😂😅
@@ShadowPhoenix82 Goosebumps did it atleast once.
I like that the kids are bad before the parasites happen. Underrepresented. Some kids are just bad
Exactly, I love that part too
Probably has a lot to do with their parenting skills judging by the movie.
@@reicherwallace6774 oh no, totally agree
Lol yeah
Ben and this movie are such a wonderful allegory for the loneliness and isolation a person with mental illness feel, from their perspective. They talk about him behind his back, nobody actually seems interested in listening to him or helping him, just yelling. He becomes isolated and lonely and starts becoming angry (I know it’s because the kids are evil but people with mental illness sometimes lash out) and then the final moment of his real life going cave diving without a spotter. It’s really sad, but it’s really good
poor ben, should have just left for his own mental health
“Children are a problem you give yourself”😂 How I wish that wasn’t true!
They treated Ben so wrong. He should’ve left all of them
If I was ben in this situation, I'd just say "I want a Divorce, I'm getting the hell outta here, you can hitch a ride with the other two cause I'm taking the car"
I'm not dealing with any sort of weird ass kids when I have an easy out from that shit and the toxic shit in my life
RIP for Ben, he had to put up with hell children only to lose hope when his own wife didn't believe in him.
Lol. forget believing him, she LITERALLy drove her husband to his death.
As a citizen of Louisiana, I can confirm this happens all the time. Happend to my brother the other day
Filmed in Canada
Ben should’ve survived. He was the only one who deserved to.
Some people shouldn’t have kids and those parents are the exact type of people who shouldn’t breed, poor Ben.
The ending moral of the story was perfect. Not only a way to beat the monster in this movie, but also good life advice.
I really feel bad for Ben. If he had his wife left as soon as the kids started to harass a man with mental illness, this never would have happened. I feel bad Ben killed himself too and gave into being a doppelgänger than living life the way he was. It was basically already too late for the bad parents. I also think that the imposter kids wanted Ben and his wife instead because they observed how awful the other couple was. I don’t blame them.
Can I rec a movie called "Breach" for the next video? It's set in space and has one of the most dangerous versions of zombie virus I've ever seen. I honestly feel like the characters make the right decisions most of the time but still loose in the end because of how unstoppable the threat is.
That sounds like my kind of movie. Do you know where can I watch it?
Good recommendation. Hopefully his team sees this and aren't too busy with current releases.
Aite to the top you do
That would be nice to see
Isn’t that the shitty Bruce Willis movie?
The Nap Time cameo brought me such joy. I appreciate your commitment to finding cameos like this
Ben is a symbol of nowadays men struggling with their mental problems alone, ignored and mocked by the society, often leading them to suicide.
Only some people do. Therapists don't mock people. Medicine is available. All it takes is asking for help and ditching fake friends.
@@Jenna2k Good therapists are very hard to find, and medication is expensive. Sometimes suicide feels like the only way out.
@@Jenna2ki have yet to find ONE therapist even on better help app that is willing to listen for more than 2 minutes before suggesting several hundred dollar drug ideas and then end the session calling it a success when I say no.
As far as I am concerned, there are NO good therapists out there. None.
@@Jenna2k Its a serious overwhelming male issue for a reason. People know they exist, doesn't magically make them accessible, or the situation any better. Were it so easy, the suicide rate wouldn't be so abnormally high.
People don't seem to understand a lot of guys suffering from this can't can't seem to make things work in their head, they keep justifying that everything is their fault, they can't do anything right, it just gets to be too much and turning to someone to help doesn't seem like an option. People can say go see a therapist all they want but many dudes can't rationalize bothering someone else with their insignificant issues. I'm not saying that's actually what other people think but this is the thought process of someone who is mentally fucked over and alone.
It seems this parasite relies on bad or neglectful parents
Unfortunately the onerous is always on the person with issues to control themselves rather than those antagonising them to back off. At Xmas my exes brother was antagonising him and was asked to stop. He continued and my ex walked out to go calm down in the bedroom. Instead his brother followed him and when my ex tried to leave the house to go for a calm down walk he put him in a head lock and tried to pin him to the bed. So I had to explain to the children in the family that their uncle is crying because he gets emotional and needs calm down time and unfortunately their dad/step mum/auntie/uncle aren’t respecting his boundaries
If these kids stressed me half as much as this, I’m leaving everyone there.
As far as they know the guy is having a schizo episode or something and they are beings butts to him because they want to have a stupid vacation, maybe he should have just left them there and gotten better friends. I mean if you aren't gonna call his doctor at least take the children away from him.
.... I can't express how lucky we as a species are that preying mantis are as small as they are, prey mantis can kill lizards and birds with relative ease, a child sized preying mantis could easily kill the world's strongest human and likely even a bear
What are you even talking about. They can only sustain that strength at their weight and if they were bigger they would literally die out since they would need so many calories to sustain themselves. Have you ever wondered why we dont have giant creatures with the same strength:size ratio? It's because that frankly won't work. That's why species like the megalodon died out while the great white can thrive. Not to mention the massive amount of oxygen they would need.
They're also ambush predators, so you'd have to basically walk into one, and since humans have better eyesight and reasoning skills than their typical prey... well just don't go where a giant one could camouflage.
A child sized preying mantis wouldn't be able to move and would be very fragile because of how it's body works
Insects can do disproportionatly huge feats precisely because of their small size, you cannnot size them up.
A bear if an fat stretch especially polar bears there at the top of the food chain for me when it comes to land animals
Aw man, the Nap Time and cat thing is the reason I like Nerd Explains over How to Beat
Dame shit
Nerd explains is funnier and less edgyer, he takes shitty advertisements but everything else is 10/10
"Reverse Leonidas "
Best line You've ever had.
Once again an extremely unlikable final girl survives a horror movie. My favorite genre has really went down the toilet.
They always send one cop to the location where a call about a brutal mass genocide happened.
I was rooting for Ben to come out as the sole survivor so bad. Everyone else could die for all I cared.
We need a "How to Beat the Underground Graboids in Tremors" please.
Steal plane
Fly out of area
Flip off Graboids
Realize flying a plane is difficult
Crash plane into an A&W
Die.
Why? That's one of the rare horror movies where the characters were actually smart for the most part.
"Pick up the pace Margaret" was the funniest thing to me
Honestly, as a bipolar person. I would have 0 problem using my disability as an excuse. Especially with kids
You need to do more of these. I absolutely love every single one.
It was Nice for nerd to side with Ben. Mental health can be hard

If I'm watching kids and they just jump down a hole I'm calling the cops and leaving, homie. It's below me now.
Literally!
were gonna need a can of raid, two shots of whiskey, a scapel, and a parisian bellydancer. i got this covered boys
I am not going to lie to those, so call "friends" desserve it, including his wife, who didn't even try save him from these children's monsters torment until she expierence herself
If I was there I would have drive him out there long ago
2:47 nostalgia i remember watching that video along with the jigsaw ones
1:30 LMFAOO All children come with a factory setting to self destruct.
If I was Ben I would have went full doomslayer on these mfs
I gotta say, I like your How to Beat videos much more than the channel "How to Beat"
I think Ben’s character was neglected mental issues personified, he gave in right when he felt like his life was over…He obviously jumped trying to end the pain, kinda feel bad for the guy
6:59 Thanks for the disclaimer
Stuff like this makes me very glad I have actually good parents. I am decently sure I'd be at the bottom of a lake without them
Very frustrating movie, but excellent analysis from you. I don't always agree fully with your takes, but this one is spot on. Ben should've left the second he saw the kids get resurrected. As a guy who has similar mental health issues I'd be communicating with my doctors, partner, and friends that I saw something that didn't make sense and it was really impacting me. I'd be getting tf outta there to be evaluated ASAP.
If my friends give me shit, they're not my friends. He should have leaned into whatever support system he had and been "selfish" about his mental health. If he ruined their getaway by bailing, well, that's better than him ruining it by having a breakdown in front of the kids or putting the kids in danger... Or, y'know, what ACTUALLY ended up happening.
Sorry for the long comment, but there's nothing more agonizing than watching a character who has every reason to LEAVE and them continuing to stay and be tormented.
I honestly would love to see a modern horror movie where everyone is not contractually obligated to act like a fucking moron.
That chloroform "advertisment" was just fantastic... And dark but mostly fantastic
That went south fast
🔹That's my mom.🔹
"...and ERUPTING with BLOOD" *literally one drop of blood from nose*

i love the part where he just starts talking about carcosa and the king in yellow
The one time a commercial worked in my favor, that was a Beautiful Perfectly Cut Slap to the face xD
Who has the better knowledge margret not using the car 21:16 or the people from the korn video trying to hide from cultivist in a pool?
I'd give the edge to Margaret on sole reason of still being able to breathe while waiting.
I just say the kids stole my pills and I think he’s gonna eat them because he probably thinks they’re candy. Take those away from him so I wouldn’t have to do it myself and I definitely get another adult to look for clues in the hole with me because I don’t know if I’m gonna get jumped if I go there alone and we could potentially bring back some proof that the actual kids are dead or have been replaced. Also record those kids in someway when you’re confronting them.
This is not how my Saturday should’ve went🔥🔥💯💯🔝🔛
It’s Friday
@@NAS_TROUBLE for you it is
in game
Ben deserved better.
Like literally, why not leave the kids with their damn grandparents? I love kids but when I think of a relaxing getaway with friends, kids are not part of that picture
Movie Sin Idea: Your Heroines will get pregnant
Easy as a step parent, I show 0 Bias towards the kids and view every dumb situation they drag themselves into from every angle.
Sooo Rocket Money isn’t as easy as the ads. It’s a lot of work to set up and you still need to remember all your sign ins and passwords. The only neat function is it will add up the cost of every month
"a reverse leonidas" holy shit i think you just wrote the next best thing
What would you do?
Me: *LEAVE*
I love that little clip from Cursed.
margaret gets UNDER the car?! wtf. horror movies are dumb but this is next lvl
"i thought they were candy" this kid looks old enough to know that candy does NOT look like that. its like mf has never seen candy before. i cant blame him for never seeing a pill bottle, but theres no way he hasnt been shopping with someone and not seen some candy. no way his parents believe that
Margaret is the real villain in this one...
You guys, something tells me Nerd doesn't like kids very much. Idk, just a hunch.
this entire movie seemed like a rush job good as background noise but horrendous to watch
When Mr Nerd said "Kids say dumb all the time!" it made me spit my soda out spraying my lounging dress......it's back in the shower for me, I admit that he caught me lacking with trying to drink something when he's on a roll?
God bless everyone. Have a good day.
Margaret is literally the worst wife ever. Never tried to hear out her husband who she knows has mental problems . She is the villain
the premis for this film sounds awesome!!! i hope its welldone.
Nah it was shit and honestly just a reskin of movies that came before with this same plot
"You pawned your creepy ass kids off on the two of us to save your shitty marriage" is a hilarious line
So, if you swam to an island in the pond, how would your phone still work? You’d need at least a sandwich bag to get ensure the phone stays dry, right?

Love your content
*JUSTICE FOR BEN* 😭🫶🏼
Do you remember when same race couples were allowed in movie?
Pepperidge Farms remembers
Haha love the NapTime! insert.
margaret is a terrible character. ben was the best. assholes gaslit him into thinking he killed a kid bc he’s mentally ill then pushed a mental ill person to suicide??? tf?
Damn they wanted that smoke from Ben!!! 😂😂
Any chances for breakdown of one of the old Polish comedies called "Seksmisja"?
Basically 2 lads being lab rabbits for hibernation test were sleeping A BIT too long (aka several decades) and they find out they're the only men left on the planet and female authorities want to either "naturalise" them (I guess it speaks for itself) or straight up kill them.
Primary goal: Survive
Secondary goal: Bring back the world to the previous state
Also ending of the movie is so gold, that it's prohibited to show on RUclips screen.
Me reacting to the movies title:WELL NO FUCKING SHIT THEY ALWAYS LIVE IN A SLASHER
Ah, a movie that finally accurately portrays how bad friends treat friends with mental illnesses. I've lost so many friends because they eventually can't take how painfully negative I am all the time while also being clingy.
Skill issue
@@himedo1512 Yeah, why can't people just stop being autistic and depressed. Mental health can just be changed if you have the right mindset. And if people don't want to be with others who have mental problems they need to take into account, they aren't bad people, you just can't better yourself. If your friends abandon you because you went blind in an accident, just start controlling yourself better.
@@himedo1512 Being depressed has nothing to do with negativity. But abandoning somebody because of a menral illness is something you can very well be blamed for.
@@himedo1512 Shaming him for his mental illness is ludicrously grotesque: "the fault lies within you of your abandonment from your friends, because it is your fault you did not overcome your mental illness", his mental illness is not his fault and he is limited in what he can do or what he can accomplish and in how much time it would take to accomplish.
And arguments such as "people have no obligation to deal with your mental illness" or "no one owns you anything" are basically worthless, stating what someone has the obligation to not do says nothing about the morality of said action. I would argue that being unwilling or unable to offer sufficient support for a friend of yours would make someone close to worthless as a friend, suitable merely as a pastime.
@@projectpitchfork860 it doesn't happen over night but if you're depression or have autism you still have to work on how you conduct yourself around people. Your friends can help but they can't fix the problem for you.
And negatively can play a part in depression. A negative family situation, financial, situation or outlook on life can all be factors that play a part of it
A guy with literal mental issues is the most sane person in this entire movie
Bro I always assume if anything goes wrong deep in the woods it will end in an sacrifice to the old guy
If I see ONE more movie with vague psychicness (usually with a kid or teen) bleeding from a facehole while it's happening...that trope was tired BEFORE Stranger Things
Unrelated to the plot- am I the only one who thought that was Glenn Howerton?? I was so distraught thinking his career had led him to this movie
I live your videos and i hope you'l have succes in this channel
