Fun story of TSA: One time, I left a laptop, a book, and some chargers in my bag, which doesn’t sound too bad, but when they scanned it, all they saw was electronic components, wires, and a large piece of insulation. You get the idea.
A friend of mine always got his luggage searched departing but not returning. When he was departing , he neatly packed all his electronic stuff in a particular area of his luggage. When he was returning, he often packed hurriedly and didn’t bother to make everything nice and neat and, well… suspicious-looking. He didn’t get searched nearly as much when he separated his electronics and didn’t wrap the cords as neatly as he was able to.
I flew to MN from TX with my wife and kid tx tsa missed a juicebox in our bag we had plenty to drink and snacks at my parents in MN so we never pulled it out fucking MN tsa pulled us into a security search of all our shit that we barely got to fit in the first place over a damn juice box we forgot about
My friend put a wedge of cheese in his shoe, it was all over xD He got dragged into the deepest basement room to inspect his own luggage behind a bomb shield or something
I’d say another way that vacations can suck is if you have that one party member who creates an itinerary of what you’re gonna be doing at every hour of every day of your vacation and they expect you to be able to both recite the schedule and adhere to it without question.
Facts. There's a delicate balance between feeling micro managed when you're supposed to be relaxing and having fun, or planning so little that you end up aimlessly wandering around a foreign country without any guidance. When planning these things, it's best that everyone involved has a say in what should be done as a group. Have some loose locations, restaurants, etc. that you wanna hit up, but plan ahead for some break time too. That way the group can follow a loose itinerary and gain expectations in how the trips gonna go ahead of time, while also having enough room to breathe and take everything in. 🤣 That is if things don't go tits up, as they usually do on vacation
Yeah fr, the best vacation I've ever gone on was one time my family just spent a week chilling at a resort up the coast. We had an event/activity to do every few days so we weren't just rotting, it was perfect.
It’s super important that every travel group be in the same page about what kind of trip you’re going to have. Different expectations around how much planning to do, how much activity, how much to spend, what kinds of things to do or see, etc, can all ruin a vacation for all parties. Even how much luggage to bring can ruin a trip. And sometimes you’re in the mood for different types of trips - it’s not always just a fixed personality type. Critical to talk it out beforehand.
Best vacation we ever took was just driving to a town about 45 minutes away renting a hotel room in a nice hotel that had a small kitchenette and just chilling in the room most of the week. Went out to eat a couple of times at nice restaurants, to see a movie, and to the aquarium. But didn't have a schedule to follow, no stressing over entertainment, no rushing around to make it somewhere on time, and no worries for a whole week. Bought a stash of snacks and groceries to stock the room's mini fridge, the kitchenette had a microwave and small stove top too. We also had brought a couple of books, a deck of cards, and a couple of board games. This was a while back and in the off season, so rooms were between $50-75 depending on the day of the week for two queen size beds in a recently built hotel so everything was clean and new. It was so relaxing, and we weren't dead tired from traveling when we got home.
Me and my partner in crime have been doing this for years. Everyone else that I know at work who have condos and extra homes just always complain about their kids and jet lag after vacations. When I was growing up we were too poor to travel so, we just visited family an 8 hours drive away from home during the summers. I thought it was great. Everyone else visited Disney land or some expensive shit. I'm sure their parents reminded them daily of all the shit they bought for them constantly. The idea of a "vacation" is overrated to the point it's now just a circle jerk among other co-workers to see who can vacation better than everyone else
Travelling gives me energy that I never get on my normal days, it feels like a adventure because I dont stay on one place and do multiple activities. Staying at home is good but that makes life very boring. Also something peacefull when I am at a small airport makes me feel like a kid again like going into new things which feels exciting since staying home is just not that. But vacation isnt just all fun of course but if you know how to make fun then its priceless.
I used to love going on vacation and my parents paid for it and now I’m the parent and it’s not a vacation it’s just parenting in a different location which is actually just way harder than parenting at home.
My kids act terrible whenever we go on vacation. It's not relaxing at all and my boyfriend wonders why I'd rather just stay home. Let me enjoy a whole book that doesn't take me 2 months to read and you watch them, that's the perfect vacation.
I totally agree with all off his points as i like to spend my summer at home with the ac turned on BUT taking pictures in aquariums is a MUST for me. I and all my friends are shark and sealife obsessed so we show each other every cute picture we take
You told me to say it but love you brodie. Fr tho I really appreciate you making this content. I've been going through some very rough times mentally that have been making me wanna give up. Luckily, your content puts a joker sized smile on my face and makes everyone happy and vibe.
It takes a lot to admit that you’re struggling, my friend, so I’m actually really proud of you. I hope you have people to help and support you through these times, because you shouldn’t have to go it alone. I wish ya the very best. Oh, and if these videos give you a single reason to smile each day…That’s beautiful.
@TheDutchessOfCornville thank you. I really appreciate it. I don't really anyone to talk to, so sometimes I just spew out nonsense on social media. Lmao. But I wish you the best too. Hope everything goes great for you and your family/friends.
I Staycation. I go to local places here in West Virginia USA. We got beautiful vacations spots and the great thing is even if they are crowded, they are mostly out in the woods and people are spread out so that’s good. Also, I hate the beach too. Now, this thought always crosses my mind when thinking about vacation. My vacation spot it’s the place I like to go relax and have fun but for the people working there, the vendors and such, they are like “I hate these people and I hate this job!” It’s a weird place where happiness and soul crushing despair meet. That’s vacation
I remember my tour guide Honolulu, guy was just living there. He was absolutely into it, but also just being almost sardonic with everything. “I was born and raised here, now I’m living in a hotel in Florida 6 months a year because everyone wishes they can live here too.”
I love you so much Big Tugg, finally someone who also has this problem with vacations, another shitty thing is that I have no clue where to go I wanna know what’s around the corner and not open Google maps every third step
BROOO - I thought that I was crazy thinking the same thing! So many people around me want to travel consistently and spend HOURS and HOURS getting from place to place. I've always felt as if there are some things to see, eat and experience but - after a while - it gets tedious and you want to go back home :D
Going through customs is either extremely easy or the worst part of traveling. No in between. Either they will look at your passport and let you go with basically nothing said barre maybe sometimes a few basic questions, or there will be an insane line and you will enter basically an interrogation where you better be able to answer every minute detail of why you’re in whatever country and what you plan to do.
TSA stopped my nephew a few years back (traveling with me, my son, and his grandpa who has guardianship over him). He was 7/8 at the time and the agent is asking him who he’s traveling with, our phone numbers (like who they KNOWS phone #’s like that any more), and where his parents are 😳😬 poor kid nearly had a meltdown. We were coming back to MA from FL, I know they’re just doing their job but jeez. My dad carries the guardianship letter with him now when we travel even domestic.
I said this about flying almost word for word two days ago. First you have to drive to the airport, then you have to park, then the line to the TSA and they go through my stuff, then I wait three hours for the plane because I was early and it was late, then we have to run to another gate for some reason, then I'm stuck in a seat for 6hrs and have you met me, they don't let me pace the isles, and you finally get to the next airport and oh my God I'm not to hotel for another 3hrs and by then I just want to go home
I love this man he’s like a sleep deprived tired rant about random things and it’s always very funny good job man please keep it up I need more fuel for the brain rot
I worked at a Greek barbershop for five years where not only did we work sixty hours per week but also never went on vacation. Since vacations are more tiresome than working it never occurred to me to object to this policy. It helps when to have a job like barbering where you’re only busy half of the time and get to loaf in your barber chair between haircuts reading crappy paperbacks you got for 25 cents from the used book store across the alley.
driving hours through the mojave just to end up in congestion because people want to park and take pictures of the local plants spontaneously combusting 😍😍😍
I haven't been on an airplane since like 2007, so I have no idea how things have changed. But I am paranoid that the plane will lose all my stuff. If I ever do go on a plane again, I'm making sure all my bags are carry ons. Also, I'm glad someone else understands how much sand sucks. I can't stand the beach. And everyone urinates in the water. At least my family does. My parents were the couple that hated each other, too. They're divorced now. My mom is a narcissist with psychosis and my dad has been treated for his narcissism and childhood trauma, but he didn't get treatment until after they divorced. Vacation with my parents were the worst.
I just recently went on a plane for the first time, to go to Washington DC. Dude is too relatable. I went through security like a gazillion times a day and every time I was so scared I had a weapon on me
Ideal vacation: Not having to be responsible, going back to "kid mode" for like 2 weeks. At home with good weather. No more, no less. Definitely no travelling, I'm done wanting that lol
This is why I travel alone. I get to go where I want, see what I want, do what I want, etc. Travel sucks when you have to work around the needs of other people.
We need to distinguish between “vacation” and “travel”. Travel is a transformative, unscripted, personal experience that few really experience. Vacation is basically another “pizza party” at your job - it’s a corporate perk, a specific commodity that’s parametrized and industrially output by the vacation-industrial-complex, where how “good” your vacation is is congruent to your job’s value. Think about how tightly integrated vacation is with work. It’s just part of your sad job, folks. This is to say nothing of how shrinkflation, TSA, and mass-production of the product (“vacation”) has ruined it, as this video explores.
I love and appreciate you!! But fr, your videos bring me a lot of joy, and have honestly gotten me through tough times. So thank you for doing them man!
I fly regularly from Atlanta to Amsterdam on Delta.....You go thru customs in ATL (not Amsterdam)....this makes it so much easier....there's no interaction with a customs/TSA agent...you just scan your passport, and your boarding pass, and when you see the green light appear, you get on your plane. When you get to Amsterdam, the FA tells you that if you ORIGINATED in ATL, you don't need your passport. Its the best thing Delta ever did.
3:18 I always wondered what do you do on a beach? Just sit there? Alone? While there’s noises? Do I dig a hole? And my nose always gets runny on beaches
It's not acceptable on very public beaches, but I like to find a fairly private and secluded spot, preferably at least a 15 minute drive away from any kind of town or city, and have a camp fire, and smoke some weed.
5:45 I understand what he's getting at here, and its true for a lot of people - but there is some value in taking these kinds of pictures in moderation. I take 'pointless' pictures here and there because it's almost like a form of documentation/journaling where I was at a certain point in time in my life - I do move all my digital photos to a drive and folder them by month/year, and I do look back on it since its so easily accessible - i've stuck to it with all my cameras/phones since 2011. I even backed up pictures taken from my DSi and two generations of iPod Touch. I'm also guilty of taking pictures of aquarium fish/zoo animals/birds, but like... what else do you do other than look at fish? Taking pictures just kinda turns a 'look at this thing' attraction into a game - newer phone camera tech has allowed for better zooms/quality settings as well as slo-mo. So if you see my nerdy ass taking pictures of fish, it's cause I have free will and several terabytes of storage left on this photo drive for now!
There hasn't been a single family vacation of mine, that wasn't freed from a relative having a health scare because they just sit down and chain smoke for years on end. It's weird NOT to expect a hospital visit at some point or another.
Ramp agent here!👋🏻 Yes, it is a safety regulation both on the ground and in flight, because if there's too much weight in a certain area of the cargo bins, it will throw off the center of gravity on the plane, which could cause the plane to crash😰
Traveling to other countries is a challenge. You gotta watch out for scammers, pickpockets, boredom, language barriers, ect, ect. It's an education for sure
@@absentmindedgenesequencing7020 I don't use gas station bathrooms. Most restaurants and rest stops are decent enough to use. Again, you're not going to shame me into being a shut in like you are.
I agree with him that travelling sucks.....while being completely aware of how good we have it compared to our ancestors who used covered wagons, horses and boats to travel. And had to somehow bring the horses with them on the boats when they travelled. Lol we can just leave our cars at the airport and rent another one when we get there.
Ocean City is fun but only when you're a child who fixates on the Jolly Rogers parks, custard, and arcades. Once you grow up you find a lot of the gimmicks of Ocean City can be enjoyed in a lot of other places, and there's raging conservatism in half of the boardwalk shops. It's so exhausting that I stopped letting my parents take me there.
I like to take a few pictures on vacations of things I like that I want to look back on but a few years ago I went on a 2-week long vacation with my roommate and her mom (awesome people) and they both take a million pictures and my roommate kept telling me to take more pictures as we were driving because I was the designated backseat baby and could move freely between both sides of the car (and we were regularly driving about 4 hours a day, we covered a LOT of ground) and my phone camera was better than hers but by about the 5th day of 14 I was already getting exhausted and ready to go home and she kept getting mad at me because I wasn't taking enough pictures. We also went to a Van Gogh Experience and she got mad at me there because I wasn't taking pictures and was actually trying to enjoy the exhibit. She is a cool person, she can just be a bit stubborn about some things, do not hate on her.
I would say that visiting the western half of the U.S. was exhilarating 50 years ago. Not so much these days with over crowding, over priced and over rated destinations, before you get to the good stuff. You’re right on Big Tugg.
I so much appreciate living in Europe. By car i need 2h to the Netherlands, 3h Belgium, 4h France or Denmark, 6h Poland, Czech Republic, 8 hrs Swiss or Poland and 10h Italy. And you can easily avoid the tourist traps when you travel by car.
Hotels are great, but staying in hotels is awful. I took my first ever vacation last year for my 26th birthday (yes, first ever), sure it was only about a 2 1/2 hour's drive from where I live so it's not like I was halfway across the country but I couldn't sleep at all. Sleeping in a completely different environment wigs me out, as soon as I got in my hotel room and the door shut behind me, I kinda panicked as I realized that.
As a retired trucker of 27 years and who owns a house on the lake in Wisconsin, this video is 100% true. There’s nothing glamorous about travel, unless you’re Miranda Lambert. Be careful what you wish for folks.
I'm only 3 hours away from Montreal and my brother wanted to show me the city cuz i had never left the country before when I went on vacation. The city is nice and all but he absolutely ruined it for me cuz I ended up spending $800 (Canadian dollars, so more like 650 in USD) for everything i got while there, mind you that was after going half on a rental car and hotels that we only spent 1 night in each! Needless to say he's not going to do that again cuz this past year when we went, I kept asking him what was free that we could go to and that annoyed the hell outta him each time I said that when he suggested a place. Btw I'm only 25 and don't make much compared to him with him making almost 3 times what I make. I blew up on him at the border on the way back cuz he was making me angry with him saying I'm acting like an asshole the whole time simply cuz i didn’t want to spend the little money i make on some dumb shit i don't care about. He's my brother and I love him to death but goddamn man he has rich taste for someone who didn’t grow up rich and makes him act superior when he can spend money on shit that interests him but not me.
I do like traveling, but in the spontaneous ADHD-fuelled "oooh what's over there" kinda style where I dont have to think and plan first. My family, when they do travel, are IMMENSELY invested in writing an itinerary and planning and all that crap, and they had to learn to do that shit without me XD I don't want to contribute an opinion on a decision 8 months in advance, you guys have fun making your schedules and I'll follow you guys when it's done. If thinking *is* required for said travel, then I hate it and would rather do almost anything else.
Also: The anxiety, because you don't know wtf is going on 99% of the time anyway, and that percentage goes up steeply when you're on vacation and if it's a family vacation or you're a kid, you're stuck in the same hotel room as your entire family for a week or whatever,
Simple solution: Don't go in a hotel. This year when my family went on Mallorca we just rented an apartment for a week. It ended up being cheaper snd we had an excellent time.
My vacation is a once a year trip in the end of summer to lake of the woods in a little lodge. Been there every single year of my life for 18 straight years
Okay i searched up mystery spot for all of u gravity falls fans and its- its just the mystery shack without the shack, its a tourist attraction in Santa Cruz California (damn if it was only in oregon-) and its a bunch of weird stuff, mostly about stuff that defies gravity, aka an anomaly (thats what it said on the site), its actully quite cheap its $10 per person, and its usally not rrly that busy so its a chill place
Another reason vacations are kinda mid is because idk if my immune system just sucks, but I will ALWAYS get sick in some way shape or form. Out of the 4 vacations I’ve been on where I was grown enough to remember anything, I threw up for three of them and got a cold or fever as soon as I got back home every time.
At least travelling in western and northern Europe, I've never had issues being a little bit over the luggage limit. Most airlines will also let you select a seat for free, or nearly for free, save for certain rows etc.
I live by a pretty popular beach in the state I live in and driving on the highway is a nightmare on weekends when it's not cold outside because everyone decides they're gonna go to the beach
I go camping in the mountains and that solves most of your problems. Travel is only 1-3 hours depending on where I go, no beaches, no people except for a friend or two. Just load some coolers with meat, veggies, beer and snacks, get a couple gas cans for the dirt bikes and some clothes, load the camper up and take off for a week or a weekend
My favorite vacation spot is Sapphire Valley-nice mountain hiking spot. (I live in Florida, so slopes are exciting) One of my favorite restaurants ever is a place called Zookeeper Bistro. If you look at it from outside, it looks dingy. If you look at the menu, it seems super basic. But then you get a basic meal, and you take a bite, and BOOM. Top tier cuisine. Mashed potatoes and a sandwich should not be able to compete with bigshot restaurants, especially since I don't even like mashed potatoes, but Zookeeper Bistro makes it out of passion and love and it's delicious.
What the hell is going on with my hair in this video why didn’t anyone say anything

I’m glad someone finally said the quiet part out loud. Traveling is an introvert’s nightmare!
Really? I'm an introvert and I love travelling. As long as I'm traveling alone. Bringing other people is what ruins it for me.
Try traveling alone. Thank me later. Signed, a traveling introvert
Try social anxiety. You'll spend most of your vacation days sleeping in a hotel room because you're too scared to leave.
If I can sunbathe near a pool, that also has a bar, I'm golden. Also, please don't talk to me. You'll ruin it.
I am an introvert and love to travel. I find traveling very romantic for some reason.

My grandma makes us wake up at 6AM ON A CRUISE like as if we didn’t wake up at 5:30 get up and get dressed at 6 just to get mid breakfast
Bro doesn't know the suffering of riding in a car for 14 hours to get to wherever the freak you wanna go
Or worse, driving 17 hours to a place that your parents want you to see.
driving hours through the mojave just to end up in congestion because people want to park and take pictures of the local plants spontaneously combusting 😍😍😍
when people ask me why I haven’t vacationed, I’ll just show them this
I haven't been on an airplane since like 2007, so I have no idea how things have changed.
But I am paranoid that the plane will lose all my stuff. If I ever do go on a plane again, I'm making sure all my bags are carry ons.
Also, I'm glad someone else understands how much sand sucks. I can't stand the beach. And everyone urinates in the water. At least my family does.
My parents were the couple that hated each other, too. They're divorced now. My mom is a narcissist with psychosis and my dad has been treated for his narcissism and childhood trauma, but he didn't get treatment until after they divorced. Vacation with my parents were the worst.
I just recently went on a plane for the first time, to go to Washington DC. Dude is too relatable. I went through security like a gazillion times a day and every time I was so scared I had a weapon on me
You’re funnier than a lot of professional comedians I see now a days. Absolutely crushing it.
“I don't like sand. It's coarse and rough and irritating - and it gets everywhere.”
Ideal vacation: Not having to be responsible, going back to "kid mode" for like 2 weeks. At home with good weather. No more, no less. Definitely no travelling, I'm done wanting that lol
8:37 I CANT VREATHE
This is why I travel alone. I get to go where I want, see what I want, do what I want, etc. Travel sucks when you have to work around the needs of other people.
4:02 DIGGING TOOLS FOR THE BOYS
I love takeoff and landings to be honest. It’s satisfying. I only say this since I’ve flown a plane and know how safe planes are.
We need to distinguish between “vacation” and “travel”. Travel is a transformative, unscripted, personal experience that few really experience. Vacation is basically another “pizza party” at your job - it’s a corporate perk, a specific commodity that’s parametrized and industrially output by the vacation-industrial-complex, where how “good” your vacation is is congruent to your job’s value. Think about how tightly integrated vacation is with work. It’s just part of your sad job, folks. This is to say nothing of how shrinkflation, TSA, and mass-production of the product (“vacation”) has ruined it, as this video explores.
I love and appreciate you!! But fr, your videos bring me a lot of joy, and have honestly gotten me through tough times. So thank you for doing them man!
Never apologize for being who you are.
I fly regularly from Atlanta to Amsterdam on Delta.....You go thru customs in ATL (not Amsterdam)....this makes it so much easier....there's no interaction with a customs/TSA agent...you just scan your passport, and your boarding pass, and when you see the green light appear, you get on your plane. When you get to Amsterdam, the FA tells you that if you ORIGINATED in ATL, you don't need your passport. Its the best thing Delta ever did.
5:02 this is the chindlifrässerbrunne in bern - switzerland. It‘s a person eating children. It‘s the pride of my hometown
why tho? /gen
i don't know tbh but here you go if you're interested: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kindlifresserbrunnen @@vnkn0wn_vSeR-420
3:18 I always wondered what do you do on a beach? Just sit there? Alone? While there’s noises? Do I dig a hole?
And my nose always gets runny on beaches
Atleast sand is better than FUCKING PEBBLES! MY FEET AREN'T MADE TO STAND ON HUNDREDS OF TINY SHRAP ROCKS WHILE WALKING IN WATER!
It's not acceptable on very public beaches, but I like to find a fairly private and secluded spot, preferably at least a 15 minute drive away from any kind of town or city, and have a camp fire, and smoke some weed.
@@ameliaduncan3236 huh. I normally just collect rocks or pretty shells
5:45 I understand what he's getting at here, and its true for a lot of people - but there is some value in taking these kinds of pictures in moderation.
I take 'pointless' pictures here and there because it's almost like a form of documentation/journaling where I was at a certain point in time in my life - I do move all my digital photos to a drive and folder them by month/year, and I do look back on it since its so easily accessible - i've stuck to it with all my cameras/phones since 2011. I even backed up pictures taken from my DSi and two generations of iPod Touch.
I'm also guilty of taking pictures of aquarium fish/zoo animals/birds, but like... what else do you do other than look at fish? Taking pictures just kinda turns a 'look at this thing' attraction into a game - newer phone camera tech has allowed for better zooms/quality settings as well as slo-mo. So if you see my nerdy ass taking pictures of fish, it's cause I have free will and several terabytes of storage left on this photo drive for now!
There hasn't been a single family vacation of mine, that wasn't freed from a relative having a health scare because they just sit down and chain smoke for years on end. It's weird NOT to expect a hospital visit at some point or another.
2:20 the luggage thing is a safety regulation for ground crews who have to pick up and move our heavy ass bags constantly
true heroes
Ramp agent here!👋🏻
Yes, it is a safety regulation both on the ground and in flight, because if there's too much weight in a certain area of the cargo bins, it will throw off the center of gravity on the plane, which could cause the plane to crash😰
Traveling to other countries is a challenge. You gotta watch out for scammers, pickpockets, boredom, language barriers, ect, ect. It's an education for sure
I love that he mentioned Enumclaw. I hear the horses are to die for
Agreed ( 0:32 ) vacations suck, just stay home.
And what if I don't? What if I like going to my favorite spot? You going to stop me?
@@MarquisLeary34 No, I’m just going to put my headphone on when you complain about the jet lag.
@@absentmindedgenesequencing7020 What jet lag? My favorite spot is in driving distance. Try another assumption.
@@MarquisLeary34 Drive? Sure, I hope the gas station bathroom is cozy.
@@absentmindedgenesequencing7020 I don't use gas station bathrooms. Most restaurants and rest stops are decent enough to use. Again, you're not going to shame me into being a shut in like you are.
I agree with him that travelling sucks.....while being completely aware of how good we have it compared to our ancestors who used covered wagons, horses and boats to travel. And had to somehow bring the horses with them on the boats when they travelled.
Lol we can just leave our cars at the airport and rent another one when we get there.

Ocean City is fun but only when you're a child who fixates on the Jolly Rogers parks, custard, and arcades.
Once you grow up you find a lot of the gimmicks of Ocean City can be enjoyed in a lot of other places, and there's raging conservatism in half of the boardwalk shops. It's so exhausting that I stopped letting my parents take me there.
I like to take a few pictures on vacations of things I like that I want to look back on but a few years ago I went on a 2-week long vacation with my roommate and her mom (awesome people) and they both take a million pictures and my roommate kept telling me to take more pictures as we were driving because I was the designated backseat baby and could move freely between both sides of the car (and we were regularly driving about 4 hours a day, we covered a LOT of ground) and my phone camera was better than hers but by about the 5th day of 14 I was already getting exhausted and ready to go home and she kept getting mad at me because I wasn't taking enough pictures. We also went to a Van Gogh Experience and she got mad at me there because I wasn't taking pictures and was actually trying to enjoy the exhibit. She is a cool person, she can just be a bit stubborn about some things, do not hate on her.
"Oh my dad sent that one"- lmaooo like k and? but bro thats fucking funny
You are loved, Big Tugg. Thank you for the content.
I would say that visiting the western half of the U.S. was exhilarating 50 years ago. Not so much these days with over crowding, over priced and over rated destinations, before you get to the good stuff. You’re right on Big Tugg.
I so much appreciate living in Europe. By car i need 2h to the Netherlands, 3h Belgium, 4h France or Denmark, 6h Poland, Czech Republic, 8 hrs Swiss or Poland and 10h Italy. And you can easily avoid the tourist traps when you travel by car.
7:49 We have come to the point in evolution where we search for, follow, and like people to trash talk us, and I’m here for it lol.
the bagging thing is to avoid injuring the workers who have to load your stuff onto the plane, it has nothing to do with the weight of the plane
You Talkin to Me? Ya, I hate vacations too! Im glad my International Hero Big Tugg finally said it!
As a German, I want to point out, we have a lot more dishes, that are even worse!
(and a lot of stuff that's great)
The "TAMALES" got me really hard, love ur work! Greetings from México
Hotels are great, but staying in hotels is awful. I took my first ever vacation last year for my 26th birthday (yes, first ever), sure it was only about a 2 1/2 hour's drive from where I live so it's not like I was halfway across the country but I couldn't sleep at all. Sleeping in a completely different environment wigs me out, as soon as I got in my hotel room and the door shut behind me, I kinda panicked as I realized that.

Yo! Watching this while on vacation with my wife, 9 year old and 21 months old. You're not wrong. Lot's of suck and not the good kind.
As a retired trucker of 27 years and who owns a house on the lake in Wisconsin, this video is 100% true. There’s nothing glamorous about travel, unless you’re Miranda Lambert. Be careful what you wish for folks.
I'm only 3 hours away from Montreal and my brother wanted to show me the city cuz i had never left the country before when I went on vacation. The city is nice and all but he absolutely ruined it for me cuz I ended up spending $800 (Canadian dollars, so more like 650 in USD) for everything i got while there, mind you that was after going half on a rental car and hotels that we only spent 1 night in each! Needless to say he's not going to do that again cuz this past year when we went, I kept asking him what was free that we could go to and that annoyed the hell outta him each time I said that when he suggested a place.
Btw I'm only 25 and don't make much compared to him with him making almost 3 times what I make. I blew up on him at the border on the way back cuz he was making me angry with him saying I'm acting like an asshole the whole time simply cuz i didn’t want to spend the little money i make on some dumb shit i don't care about. He's my brother and I love him to death but goddamn man he has rich taste for someone who didn’t grow up rich and makes him act superior when he can spend money on shit that interests him but not me.
I do like traveling, but in the spontaneous ADHD-fuelled "oooh what's over there" kinda style where I dont have to think and plan first. My family, when they do travel, are IMMENSELY invested in writing an itinerary and planning and all that crap, and they had to learn to do that shit without me XD I don't want to contribute an opinion on a decision 8 months in advance, you guys have fun making your schedules and I'll follow you guys when it's done. If thinking *is* required for said travel, then I hate it and would rather do almost anything else.
On the fastfood being everywhere line, certain areas suck and in turn others are Summerlandian.
Also: The anxiety, because you don't know wtf is going on 99% of the time anyway, and that percentage goes up steeply when you're on vacation and if it's a family vacation or you're a kid, you're stuck in the same hotel room as your entire family for a week or whatever,
yeahhh family vacations are chaos
Simple solution: Don't go in a hotel. This year when my family went on Mallorca we just rented an apartment for a week. It ended up being cheaper snd we had an excellent time.
Yeah vacations suck, I end up just getting drunk the whole time, and the "alcohol sucks" video is what brought me to this channel in the first place.
My vacation is a once a year trip in the end of summer to lake of the woods in a little lodge. Been there every single year of my life for 18 straight years
This guy just made my day, tysm tugg!
"do you like walking around on 1,000 grit sandpaper?" I would prefer that over 60 grit.
Best Vacation is a Staycation. I have everything I could desire at home. Just dont have to worry about work for a lil bit.
The Landing Gear Screeching when your landing is the wheeling doing a burn out because they are going so fast in a little amount of time
Okay i searched up mystery spot for all of u gravity falls fans and its- its just the mystery shack without the shack, its a tourist attraction in Santa Cruz California (damn if it was only in oregon-) and its a bunch of weird stuff, mostly about stuff that defies gravity, aka an anomaly (thats what it said on the site), its actully quite cheap its $10 per person, and its usally not rrly that busy so its a chill place
1:37 Schengen Superior
i barely take pictures going on vacations, but when im home i just take pictures of random stuff like cup ramen or my bathtub
Another reason vacations are kinda mid is because idk if my immune system just sucks, but I will ALWAYS get sick in some way shape or form. Out of the 4 vacations I’ve been on where I was grown enough to remember anything, I threw up for three of them and got a cold or fever as soon as I got back home every time.

He never even mentioned that a road trip to your destination feels WAY longer than a plane.
At least travelling in western and northern Europe, I've never had issues being a little bit over the luggage limit. Most airlines will also let you select a seat for free, or nearly for free, save for certain rows etc.
dont forget the hotels/motels with 'clean' rooms but if u bring a UV light in there everythings smothered in bodily fluids
As someone who is british and HATES mushy peas, it's hell
"that's probably historicly offensive and i don't care" LMAO!!! i love it
The way I got roasted when I said “I live near the airport, it doesn’t take 1 - 2 hours to get there…” 🤣 but true
My son and I love watching your videos! You are so funny, love what you do your kitty is so cute! Sending hugs your way!!!
As a person who's never gone on vacation ✨ever ✨ this was enlightening
Man I go to the beach almost every week. Sometimes multiple times a week. Guess we're just different 🤣 hope to get to travel to Cancun soon!
I like traveling, what I don't like is scamers and robbers and they aim for tourists and naives.
Also I love you.
The bag weight thing is for the bag carriers, not the planes. Its a union rule upheld by OHSA
The mystery spot is a great place to spend a summer with your twin sister
sand being the herpes of the natural world is fucking hilarious
I live by a pretty popular beach in the state I live in and driving on the highway is a nightmare on weekends when it's not cold outside because everyone decides they're gonna go to the beach
I go camping in the mountains and that solves most of your problems. Travel is only 1-3 hours depending on where I go, no beaches, no people except for a friend or two. Just load some coolers with meat, veggies, beer and snacks, get a couple gas cans for the dirt bikes and some clothes, load the camper up and take off for a week or a weekend
We had to drive to Oregon from NY, up to Canada, and back. That took about 14,000 miles and 200 hours IN THE SAME CAR
F@ck!
As a floridian I agree with the beach SO MUCH! Idk why people come to Miami. The beaches suck here and its boring.
I haven’t heard the word “iota” in like 15 years haha. Big Tugg bringing it back !!!
My favorite vacation spot is Sapphire Valley-nice mountain hiking spot. (I live in Florida, so slopes are exciting)
One of my favorite restaurants ever is a place called Zookeeper Bistro. If you look at it from outside, it looks dingy. If you look at the menu, it seems super basic.
But then you get a basic meal, and you take a bite, and BOOM. Top tier cuisine. Mashed potatoes and a sandwich should not be able to compete with bigshot restaurants, especially since I don't even like mashed potatoes, but Zookeeper Bistro makes it out of passion and love and it's delicious.
bro is right about everything for no reason
