please watch the whole video first, willie did a great job as always and you genuinely do not need to know this to enjoy this video, but if you’re curious when it’s over…. ***WHAT HAPPENS IN EPISODE 2*** didn’t watch, but googled - the moms had to write down secrets and the sons had to guess who was whose. someone decided to turn it up to 11 and share utterly life changing shit, i.e., that she’d slept with her best friend’s son. it turned out to be soyoung (aggressive feel up lady), jimmy (feet guy)’s mother. apparently once it’s revealed you see her like sobbing in a confessional while he gets wasted and naked in the pool. so. HOW. WHY. good questions indeed, willie. fuck, man
I'm imagining this gender-swapped, with dads feeling up their daughters to try to identify them. How do people not recognise that it is JUST as inappropriate this way around!? 😳
Yeah I disagree with willie in that I think DILF house is far more disgusting to me. But I don’t think it would work as the dads would probably start fighting each other
I was thinking she said “I’m so hot” but that baffled me because obviously they wouldn’t censor that but thank you and curse you for bringing this information to light
me: god why was my reaction to my dad's death to go and do a masters degree on impulse thats the most insane thing a person could do to process grief Charlene: watch this
@@Nassifeh I hope the new career's working out for you mate - I actually already have a masters in one sector and this is my big career change/ re-training moment, fingers crossed its not a huge mistake for me lol
I got my degree purely to spite someone else. Crazy what emotions can make you do! Kudos to you for channelling your grief into something so positive & empowering.
I think its not dating young men that is revolting about the shows premise, its the fact that they're dating each others sons. If it was a group of older men not with random young women but with each others daughters I honestly think it'd be met with greater scrutiny than the Milf show.
honestly older men with younger women and older women with younger men has never been revolting to me, but god has it been cringe af to watch i'm in my 30s and I can't even fathom dating someone 10 years younger than me, every 20 something I know is just in an entirely different place in their life than I am
@@lurksmcgee I think the main problem with age gaps is that older people who seek out much younger partners usually do so because younger people are easier to manipulate. Especially people below the age of 25 who don't even have a fully developed brain yet. I won't assume that a healthy relationship under those circumstances is impossible, or that every relationship between someone below their early twenties and someone fully adult is abusive but I would hazard to guess that most of them are. Either way it's definitely a red flag.
Patriarchy and toxic masculinity being what they are, I would expect a lot more fist fights on that show. Actually, it would probably make for some pretty amazing reality TV. They should make that show.
More than anything, MILF Manor represents the death of the cougar in my mind. MILFs always represented very attractive moms, not moms looking for age gap relationships. Cougars were those hunting for younger men.
They actually get into this. They seem to come to the decision anyone can be a milf but to be a cougar you have to pass an age (The age is not defined)
RIGHT? Right??? Like, im losing my Mind, bevause its not even Just that Cougar is the word for age-gap-leaning older women. I just keep thinking about the essence of "MILF" Mother. I'D. Like. To. Fuck. ?? The main throughline is ur neighborhood friend who doesn't JUST not have a chance with YOUR MOM, but someone who ur mom could not give LESS of a thought about!!!! I mean, am i wrong here?? The vibe has always felt like "woman who is older than me Explicitly in a way that they would normally have nearly no idea i exist"
@@carlacahill9453I have to disagree. Because, We call the male opposite a "Silver Fox" IE: The old implication of literally stealing young "chicks" from their mothers. We have always coded each as preditory.
So on a podcast that talks about pop culture. They were explaining how the contestants of the show were invited under the guise that their sons were going to help them find someone to date them. So that's what that woman was explaining when she said that she knew that her son was also going to be on a dating show.
I think the worst part of that is that's vaguely worded enough for them to stand by it in court. "We never allowed or implied we wanted them to date their sons, and by putting their sons in the dating pool with the others to learn about them that allows them to help their mothers pick the right guy."
If this was about older women meeting younger men who they AREN'T related to, it would be such a fun, campy trash dating show similar to Love Island. But the fact that they HAD to select these women's sons is pretty icky and it's like they're actively trying to make these women look like freaks, which is kinda sad. Like, there's nothing inherently wrong with someone older wanting someone younger as long as they're both consenting adults. There's probably MILLIONS of older men who have younger wives/girlfriends in the world. Leonardo DiCaprio famously refuses to date anyone over the age of 25 and Hugh Hefner was dating 3 of them at the same time when he was already old as hell. So the fact that the producers ACTIVELY selected these ladies sons to be the dating pool seems to me a little like they were making fun of these ladies for liking younger men, or even HAVING a dating life after 40.
My drawfee brain rot is so strong every time I see u comment somewhere else (Jenny Nicholson Patreon 👀) my instinct is to want to just reply like “🫵 drawfee” 😅😅😅
What’s depressing is when willie said that the 46 year old was “stretching the definition of Milf” meanwhile, in the adult film industry you’re considered a milf at 30…. Sometimes 28 if you have more curves.
honestly these moms with their age gaps, seem like their had their kids when they were in their 20s, and probably missed out on the 20s dating experience and now that their kids are adults and not as reliant theyre "allowed" to freely have those missed experiences and its just an unfortunate thing that their kids being in their 20s and they having missed out on the 20s experience made it so their dating pools collided. as someone with a 39 y/o teen mom and is in my early stages of adulthood, im pretty sure if my mom hadnt found her fiancé when i was preteen, shed still be dating and our pools would have possibly collided, and i would hate to judge her for wanting something that she wasnt able to get when she was my age. but regardless, it would be really weird to see my mom at the same bars as me for hooks ups and shit, or like in dating apps.
Same with my mum. She had my brother very young, so didn't really get to have that young adult freedom. She met my dad in her earlyish 20s, though, so didn't end up becoming a cougar type. I'm still sad for her that she missed out on her carefree days...
It's funny. I started this video like "I refuse to watch this heinous show but I will see Willy's disgusted reactions to it." And I ended it realizing that even hearing about it through Willy made me feel grossed out by it.
i am currently at the 'feeling up the sons' part of the video and i've been at that part for minutes i cannot watch more than 10 seconds before i have to pause and do something anything else the secondhand embarrassment i feel is so impossible to describe words do not express the severe level of secondhand embarrassment this show gives me my skeleton is actively trying to leave my body as i type
I didn't see the twist coming, until then I was like 'okay so sort of cringey but not the worst?' and then the Sons were revealed and I think I genuinely took psychic damage. Bc not only does being on a singles retreat and rooming with your son sound creepy AF. but they're also all single moms who have had to do the work of being both parents to all their kids! Like give them a break, damn! I am also already waiting in suspense to see if you make this into a series, a rundown of episode 2 and your journey on getting into the milf mindset 👀
To be completely fair, my mom is like in her 40s and I'm a whole ass adult with mostly adult sibs. I think that if your kids are adults and your still down date younger people, you'll qualify
My now husband jokingly called me a cougar (I'm 2 years older than him) when I was 25, we've been married for over 2 years now and I still won't let him forget it 💀
Who ever called someone a cougar under 30 must have thought life ended at 40-like i have met 70yr women who call themselves cougars-and had the 30yro hunk cubs getting their drinks/holding their purses to prove it! (Honestly goals tho)
Great editing, Willie! The cut to the guy right after "Eddie Redmayne method acting as a drug addict" killed me. I haven't laughed that hard in a while. 😂 Scarily accurate description, omg.
I genuinely love that I know you’ll have a balanced and respectful take on any media you cover, including milf manor. I knew you were going to be fair to the contestants, and provide valid, nuanced criticisms where necessary without hopping onto the hate train. Great episode!
Exactly! The fact that he has a wry and sometimes biting humour, but is never actually mean or disparaging about people being 'cringe' and doesn't like to punch down. It's refreshing :)
I absolutelly dread new videos from Willie because I know I'm going to end up engaging critically and open minded on an absolutelly deranged topic and I'm all for it.
I can't describe the amount of sincere dread that you managed to incite in me each time you alluded to the second episode. I want to look up spoilers but I don't think I will so that I can hear about it vicariously through your channel.
Honestly my biggest issue is that it’s obvious that the sons were not told they were going to be dating older women (let alone their Moms). I think it’s totally cool if consenting people of age do consenting things but I wish the young men were already in to Milfs before the reveal.
I don’t know how you saw that twist coming Willie, but I audibly gasped when it was revealed. It felt like such a jerk move from the producers. But what you said at the end about the moms I feel was very thoughtful, and I hope they did enjoy themselves as much as they could
I think the twist was obvious to a lot of people (including myself) only because we’re morbidly aware of the depravity of reality television. When i find out a reality show has a “twist” my mind goes straight to the most fucked up thing they legally could air
The commercials announced a twist, so my immediate thought was, what is universally shocking all of these women? Oh, of course, they'll be dating each other's sons.
I know you said this format was new for you in not scripting or planning and I just want to say it works for you!!! Your stream of consciousness was great and I never felt like you were off beat.
Watching the episode right now, but I have a suggestion: could we have an episode where Knit-colas hosts something that they are interested in and you co-host the episode? I love you Willie, but I'd also love to see Knit-colas get more of a spotlight. Sometimes I get the impression that maybe they're being held back and their full potential hasn't been allowed to be unitilized. 🤷♂️
He's just biding his time. Look at those dark, knowing eyes. He's planning something. He's gonna overthrow Willie. Probably start up a competing channel. Might murder him, too, who knows...
This show must have been concocted by someone working at MTV circa 2005 who got fired for pitching this idea in the first place. Thanks, Discovery Channel.
When they were told about the room situations, they should have rebelled and had the sons pair up with each other, and the moms pair up with each other. What actually transpired was horrific.
There's nothing that will make me feel ok about it... being a mother and son show. But my morbid curiosity is nicely wrapped up in this conscientious maner. Thanks willie
If you really want to know... Spoilers: They do a game where they write secrets that their son/mom has to guess. Her secret is that she slept with her son's best friend. She says she wrote it knowing her son wouldn't guess it. Yeah, it's dark.
1:35 "I kinda feel like I needed to start talking about it, and hopefully if I ramble on for long enough, the reason I'm doing this will find me." Something about that really strikes a chord in me... Thanks for another immediately engaging video, and just sharing your thoughts in general!
@@kylejohnson423 See but Naked and Afraid is a straightforward challenge. Go survive in the wilderness with minimal tools for a month. And the show's producers have really revamped their vetting process to avoid the fuckups of season one. Naked and Afraid even has a global community of survivalists for it to play off of. That's orders of magnitude different from the mother-son incest angle that MILF Manor is going with.
1. your hair looks really cute in this video :) 2. i had no idea what the twist was going to be and was absolutely flabbergasted. 3. i did not think things could get any weirder afte the feel up challenge, and then we had the foot moment
@@ThatDangBee I watch all of Willie's content regardless of whether I know what he's even talking about. But this one hit the spot extra for some reason. Edit: I think the murder story was my all time favourite video of his. Can't remember the title though
large age-gap romance can be perfectly healthy and normal. But this show does the one thing guaranteed to make everyone uncomfortable, no matter how okay or even into older women one might be. Why why why would they do this?
Can you imagine if they made dads and their daughters share a bedroom like that?! The whole premise makes my skin crawl in every context. Reality TV producers really are nasty, chaos-causing demons.
I don't think people go to a show named MILF MANOR expecting tragic backstories. If I watched this show and was hit with a traumatic backstory I think I'd get whiplash, a seizure, vomit and leave scarred for life in that order.
I am pausing in the middle of the "Challenge" section because I need to breathe My life has been too good, I was shell shocked by the twist, and I am still recovering I don't have the physical, mental or emotional capacity to face the first challenge That being said, though, please continue this series XD I love your content, no matter how much I have to suffer through it 🖤
Was listening while driving and when Palo talked about the airplane thing, my whole body tensed and I think my brain melted a little. I know the words are taken out of context and manipulated to a degree but the squick was so visceral. Great video though, I always love your interpretations and analysis is always empathetic and full of care.
I'm more or less the MILF age now and the thought of being romantically involved with anyone under 30 makes me gag. I was with men in their twenties when I was a teenager, and I was rearing them like their mother: showing them how to cook and do laundry, teaching them to shower every day, open a bank account, etc.
I mean I always thought men into cougars were like women into silver foxes-loving stability and good taste- Buuuuuut the burden on the partner is REAL I have absolutely felt that same way as having to raise men/women i date. nothing dries up any sexual feeling than dating an adult who is ‘helpless’ - literally stopped hooking up with someone after he mentioned his mom was picking up his laundry soon…because she did his laundry for him still….he was 26.
always appreciate the level-headed dissections. Not immediately jumping to say "this is disgusting, how dare they, what the fuck is this!?" just calmly examining all the things people like and don't like, nice job as always.
I really appreciate how you can explain why the moms being sexual *around* their kids can be separate and fine as afult parents to adult kids. There are some dirty jokes i admittedly don’t like hearing from my parents (like my dad joking that he was too distracted by my mom’s body to know her eye color until they dated for a few months-thanks dad) but adults are adults. 20is young, but also people who are parents deserve healthy relationships. Especially single parents with grown kids
harrison: "SIGNIFICANTLY older women-" "-they all have SONS" *harrison the first letter in "milfs" stands for MOTHER!!!* for fuck's sake man!! edit: "silfs" took me a minute holy shit >u
I hadn't even considered the points you brought up when defending the show :0 You've definitely changed my views on it! Still don't think I could watch it tho akdjflakjdfalkjdf Thanks for taking one for the team and making a reaction to it!
the garbage analogy made perfect sense to me and I was honestly surprised by how much sense it was making while you were saying it. Either our brains are the same kind of weird today or you're actually good at talking as it turns out :v (leaning towards both because this is the second vid I've watched/listened to today and I'm having a good time)
Willie's style of comedy is perfect for this show. I want him to review all of the episodes! Even tho I've seen many youtubers do this show I liked willie's style the most.
WAIT A MINUTE!! You have been uploading? :O omg!! Now i gotta go back and binge all of the videos i missed! Why didn't i get any notification? :( but glad i got one now! :)
As a MILF I gotta say thanks for that last part and that you're right on the money Willie. Older women embracing our sexuality is seen as so taboo that it's probably far more frowned upon than the pseudo-incest happening on screen and it's so sad to think that. Luckily I'm a lesbian though and it's a lot more accepted in those circles, but still gotta feel for my het/bi sisters and having to put up with this.
i'm realizing that the reason most reality tv "stars" are in their 20's or 30's is because they normally have none of the baggage of someone who's already had a whole life and you don't feel bad about mocking them.
Something about milf Manor and reality TV in general has me feeling weird. This might just be my psych student brain talking but there's something really strange about the existence of reality TV and what it says about society in general. People get so invested into the lives of people they see on TV when in reality it's really none of our business what they do with their lives. It itches the same part of your brain that gossip and rumours itch. I knew someone who wanted to write their paper on the type of people who enjoy reality TV and the correlation between enjoying reality TV and being the sort of people who enjoy drama and gossip.
You should watch we're in hell's channel he has several videos exploring different phenomena through the lense of reality TV, and also reality TV itself. Some real good ones
As always, so grateful for the humanity that you bring to all of your takes. This a great reminder to judge the show itself (and I AM) rather than the people on it.
please watch the whole video first, willie did a great job as always and you genuinely do not need to know this to enjoy this video, but if you’re curious when it’s over….

I think the twist was obvious to a lot of people (including myself) only because we’re morbidly aware of the depravity of reality television. When i find out a reality show has a “twist” my mind goes straight to the most fucked up thing they legally could air
When he first said there's a twist I figured it was just gonna be older guys or something like that. Was I surprised that it was the son's though? No.
The commercials announced a twist, so my immediate thought was, what is universally shocking all of these women? Oh, of course, they'll be dating each other's sons.
I realised only a full 10 seconds before he revealed it.
I know you said this format was new for you in not scripting or planning and I just want to say it works for you!!! Your stream of consciousness was great and I never felt like you were off beat.
the garbage can analogy did work really well. good job
Absolutely
Agreed
hearing the gentle click of the needles in between your awkward glances around the room really elevates your videos
Watching the episode right now, but I have a suggestion: could we have an episode where Knit-colas hosts something that they are interested in and you co-host the episode? I love you Willie, but I'd also love to see Knit-colas get more of a spotlight. Sometimes I get the impression that maybe they're being held back and their full potential hasn't been allowed to be unitilized. 🤷♂️
He's just biding his time. Look at those dark, knowing eyes. He's planning something. He's gonna overthrow Willie. Probably start up a competing channel. Might murder him, too, who knows...
Great idea
Boost
This show must have been concocted by someone working at MTV circa 2005 who got fired for pitching this idea in the first place. Thanks, Discovery Channel.
I was doing so good at not being scandalized by anything Willie described, but what Jimmy said about sucking Pola’s toes broke me
Willie, you took a video about the show MILF Manor and turned it into an inspiring bit of aspirational life advice. Thank you for being you.
I don't know what would be worse, that the show really did spring the mother son thing on them or that everyone knew and still agreed to this.
The truth is somewhere in between. Apparently they were under the impression that their sons were just going to help them find dates
I can not stress this enough: the ring in the garbage can analogy made an insane amount of sense. A truly groundbreaking analysis
"Eddie Redmayne method acting as a drug addict" had me SCREAMING when I saw him. That's so specific yet so accurate
Yeah Willie knocked it out of the park with the descriptions in this one
When they were told about the room situations, they should have rebelled and had the sons pair up with each other, and the moms pair up with each other. What actually transpired was horrific.
Yeah, in that situation I'd be like, "Well, we're going to have a shit room I guess" 😂
39:45 “yeah im doing airplanes with your mom now. Jealous?”
like. what the hell
I love the polarizing sweater. Good choice for the episode.
There's nothing that will make me feel ok about it... being a mother and son show. But my morbid curiosity is nicely wrapped up in this conscientious maner. Thanks willie
not knowing about episode two is absolutely killing me but I don't think I can get myself to sit through an episode to find out 😭
If you really want to know...
Spoilers:
They do a game where they write secrets that their son/mom has to guess. Her secret is that she slept with her son's best friend. She says she wrote it knowing her son wouldn't guess it. Yeah, it's dark.
@@SadistModeOn thank you for your sacrifice
@@SadistModeOnbless you for this
1:35 "I kinda feel like I needed to start talking about it, and hopefully if I ramble on for long enough, the reason I'm doing this will find me." Something about that really strikes a chord in me... Thanks for another immediately engaging video, and just sharing your thoughts in general!
I don't entirely agree with the analysis, but as a fellow fan of trash TV, the nuance is really refreshing. This is probably your video yet! :)
How very not internet or you!!! Thank you so much for the tip!!! (Sorry for the late response. I just got the notification for it! )
I've said it once I'll say it a million times. Milf Manor is PEAK reality tv. It can never and should never be topped.
never be topped is the most important. 😓🥲 what more these producers will make
Idk I feel like a dilf version of this show actually could top it 🤔
I like to think that, but then I remembered that shows like "Kid Nation", "Naked and Afraid", and "I want to marry Harry" once existed.
@@kylejohnson423 See but Naked and Afraid is a straightforward challenge. Go survive in the wilderness with minimal tools for a month. And the show's producers have really revamped their vetting process to avoid the fuckups of season one. Naked and Afraid even has a global community of survivalists for it to play off of. That's orders of magnitude different from the mother-son incest angle that MILF Manor is going with.
1. your hair looks really cute in this video :)
2. i had no idea what the twist was going to be and was absolutely flabbergasted.
3. i did not think things could get any weirder afte the feel up challenge, and then we had the foot moment
His overview vs Film Coopers are so stark lmao, Cooper was absolutely eating it up and Willie is just too stunned to speak and then understanding
I didn't think I was capable of genuine shock anymore. Thanks for the adrenaline hit Willie.
I'm still so baffled that this was a 30 Rock joke come to life
My husband literally asked me if this was a spin-off of MILF Island. Seeing this made him just connect the dots and assume 30 Rock was real.
The producers were so quick to see if they could, they never questioned they should.
At least the boys aren't 8th graders??
I love 30 rock and I’ll never get over this
This is the combination of content and creator I NEEDED
His Ernest Scared Stupid video is pretty great too.
@@ThatDangBee I watch all of Willie's content regardless of whether I know what he's even talking about. But this one hit the spot extra for some reason.
Edit: I think the murder story was my all time favourite video of his. Can't remember the title though
I want to believe Soyoung said "So hung". No, I choose to believe that's her joke.
She said "so wet"
@@queencleopatra007 3/10. Fun, still tame even for this show and it doesn't even rhyme
my name is so young so thank u sooo much for this
large age-gap romance can be perfectly healthy and normal. But this show does the one thing guaranteed to make everyone uncomfortable, no matter how okay or even into older women one might be. Why why why would they do this?
because they want that to be the feeling you geet watching :")
Can you imagine if they made dads and their daughters share a bedroom like that?! The whole premise makes my skin crawl in every context. Reality TV producers really are nasty, chaos-causing demons.
A dating show about men with mommy issues and the mommies that gave them those issues.
your opinion on that show is the only one that matters to me 😔 i'm not interested in watching it but i enjoy your narration
Same
Please make this a series. Love your comments on it.
I can only watch this show through other people. It's like hearing about a gruesome car crash. Like I'd be complicit if I watched it directly
Willie, please. Please tell me you didn't tease episode 2 with no intention of guiding us through how we feel about it.
Seriously what happens in episode 2?! I need to know but I refuse to watch the actual show to find out
looked at a writeup on yahoo and everyone is supposed to spill a s3x secret and soyoung admitted she did it with her son's best friend
I don't think people go to a show named MILF MANOR expecting tragic backstories. If I watched this show and was hit with a traumatic backstory I think I'd get whiplash, a seizure, vomit and leave scarred for life in that order.
“I won’t need therapy if I don’t do that” *me nodding along* yeah same, I’m fine without therapy now
I am pausing in the middle of the "Challenge" section because I need to breathe
My life has been too good, I was shell shocked by the twist, and I am still recovering
I don't have the physical, mental or emotional capacity to face the first challenge
That being said, though, please continue this series XD I love your content, no matter how much I have to suffer through it 🖤
Was listening while driving and when Palo talked about the airplane thing, my whole body tensed and I think my brain melted a little. I know the words are taken out of context and manipulated to a degree but the squick was so visceral. Great video though, I always love your interpretations and analysis is always empathetic and full of care.
the way you started this i thought you were going to say you crashed your car
It was close, driving in fast flowing traffic but didn't need to react to anything thankfully
I'm more or less the MILF age now and the thought of being romantically involved with anyone under 30 makes me gag. I was with men in their twenties when I was a teenager, and I was rearing them like their mother: showing them how to cook and do laundry, teaching them to shower every day, open a bank account, etc.
I mean I always thought men into cougars were like women into silver foxes-loving stability and good taste-
Buuuuuut the burden on the partner is REAL
I have absolutely felt that same way as having to raise men/women i date. nothing dries up any sexual feeling than dating an adult who is ‘helpless’ - literally stopped hooking up with someone after he mentioned his mom was picking up his laundry soon…because she did his laundry for him still….he was 26.
I just found out about this a few hours ago (and shared it on discord immediately as you do), incredible timing
I sincerely hope that you plan to do a video on episode two!!!!
that twist reveal actually did convince me once and for all that god has abandoned us
You never think your analogies make sense but they are actually my favorite and are so elevated
always appreciate the level-headed dissections. Not immediately jumping to say "this is disgusting, how dare they, what the fuck is this!?" just calmly examining all the things people like and don't like, nice job as always.
I really appreciate how you can explain why the moms being sexual *around* their kids can be separate and fine as afult parents to adult kids. There are some dirty jokes i admittedly don’t like hearing from my parents (like my dad joking that he was too distracted by my mom’s body to know her eye color until they dated for a few months-thanks dad) but adults are adults. 20is young, but also people who are parents deserve healthy relationships. Especially single parents with grown kids
your horrified face in response to Charlene lmao
Hey Willie! I'm glad to see you talk about this entertaining yet strange show concept😭😭😭🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I am actually dying over this commentary- now I want you to watch Bridalplasty xD

I am blown away that you nailed the right season for the Jewish year... The kinda easteregg content I come here for.
He must have googled it
Something about the very quiet sound of knitting needles tapping together is really calming
22:31 You were right, I was a lot happier before I knew this
Gosh, that opening title card of yours is so cute and perfect!
harrison: "SIGNIFICANTLY older women-" "-they all have SONS"
*harrison the first letter in "milfs" stands for MOTHER!!!* for fuck's sake man!!
edit: "silfs" took me a minute holy shit >u
Binging your channel right now and I must say I love your humour.
My favourite video of yours has to be about the bigamist.
Keep up the great work!
I hadn't even considered the points you brought up when defending the show :0 You've definitely changed my views on it! Still don't think I could watch it tho akdjflakjdfalkjdf Thanks for taking one for the team and making a reaction to it!
From the moment I heard about this show I was hoping you’d talk about it 😂 thank you!
I hope you continue this series because I love your take. We should all unleash our inner MILFs.
the garbage analogy made perfect sense to me and I was honestly surprised by how much sense it was making while you were saying it. Either our brains are the same kind of weird today or you're actually good at talking as it turns out :v
(leaning towards both because this is the second vid I've watched/listened to today and I'm having a good time)
The idea of being on a dating show with my dad sounds like my worst possible nightmare, but then again they're all consenting adults 🤷♀️
Willie's style of comedy is perfect for this show. I want him to review all of the episodes! Even tho I've seen many youtubers do this show I liked willie's style the most.
WAIT A MINUTE!! You have been uploading? :O omg!! Now i gotta go back and binge all of the videos i missed! Why didn't i get any notification? :( but glad i got one now! :)
Thank you for taking one for the team, Willie Muse o7
As a MILF I gotta say thanks for that last part and that you're right on the money Willie. Older women embracing our sexuality is seen as so taboo that it's probably far more frowned upon than the pseudo-incest happening on screen and it's so sad to think that. Luckily I'm a lesbian though and it's a lot more accepted in those circles, but still gotta feel for my het/bi sisters and having to put up with this.
Teşekkürler.

thank you for the sacrifice you made in the footage you had to watch in providing us this video
still my fav content maker thank you for sharing your magic with us
i'm realizing that the reason most reality tv "stars" are in their 20's or 30's is because they normally have none of the baggage of someone who's already had a whole life and you don't feel bad about mocking them.
Amazing timing. I read a Tumblr post about this nightmare just yesterday and had hoped I wouldn't have to think about it ever again.
MILF island on 30 rock was supposed to be a joke, not a suggestion for an actual show
hiw did they not call the resort the "oediple complex"
willie, dont ever stop making vids. every upload is like christmas
Something about milf Manor and reality TV in general has me feeling weird. This might just be my psych student brain talking but there's something really strange about the existence of reality TV and what it says about society in general. People get so invested into the lives of people they see on TV when in reality it's really none of our business what they do with their lives. It itches the same part of your brain that gossip and rumours itch. I knew someone who wanted to write their paper on the type of people who enjoy reality TV and the correlation between enjoying reality TV and being the sort of people who enjoy drama and gossip.
You should watch we're in hell's channel he has several videos exploring different phenomena through the lense of reality TV, and also reality TV itself. Some real good ones
Well said
Comments for the algorithm! And for Knitcholas, who sees and judges all 🙏
I LOVE magnet sweater SO much
I love your videos! Keep on rewatching them
As always, so grateful for the humanity that you bring to all of your takes. This a great reminder to judge the show itself (and I AM) rather than the people on it.
Saw the twist coming because I know that one Lonely Island song 😂
WHAT DOES SOYOUNG DO IN EPISODE TWO. I REFUSE TO WATCH IT SOMEONE TELL ME PLS
She revealed to everyone that she once slept with her son's best friend. Poor kid looked devestated 😕
