childhood.

When I was a kid I thought the word "pussy" was the funniest thing in the universe. Then one day my mom found out that I'd made a Sim City called "Pussyton" and she sat me down and explained what that word actually meant, and that was fucking terrible. She also forbid me from deleting the Pussyton save file until my dad got back from his military deployment so he could yell at me for it too. Pussyton was by far the greatest city I ever made in ANY Sim City game. It was a massively successful metropolis with virtually no crime and a gigantic economic output.

- Introduces himself - Sends 1,000 blank text messages - Refuses to elaborate - Leaves

At this point I’m pretty much a pro at being pulled out of wet holes

I bet ManyKudos' dad was listening to him go "tanker" "uanker" "vanker" and just waiting for him to say "wanker" so he could scare the hell out of him.

The 2,000 text message story is one of the funniest things I've ever heard, I can fully picture that being a bit in a stand-up routine lol

Are you gayhood

Considering that ManyKudos’ phobia is beautiful women’s breasts, it’s not surprising that he was the World’s Gayest Man before dying.

I feel really embarrassed to say it took 2 years of watching to realise Internet Historian was not indeed an old man

Ah yes all the staples of childhood: near death experiences, going to the school dance, deer farm...

As a Mexican, Nordman most helpful tip is "Don't live in Mexico". Thanks Nordman for your helpful knowledge.

When I was a kid (5) I went on vacation to OC MD. My mom was messing with my dad, telling him, “oh you only wear sunglasses to stare at hineys.” I thought it was the most hilarious shit I ever heard, like, in a random way. So I repeated the “joke” the next day on a train full of strangers on the shoreline. “MY DAD WEARS SUNGLASSES TO LOOK AT WOMENS HINEYS” and the stares!?? My poor dad.

My childhood near death experience: I was like 7, practicing my ninja moves with a letter opener knife (as you do), started spinning around in circles to see if I could make a tornado. Eventually I decided I would spin until I fell naturally but I landed funny, my elbow bent, and I stabbed myself in the neck. Now, I certainly thought I was going to die, and my siblings screams as the blood started up didn't help, but after all the screaming and running around all I know is I got a bandaid and nothing more so I must have missed my jugular after all. There are 2 additional aspects to this story 1. I remember I went into the bathroom and looked into the mirror, but I was holding my hand over the cut. I decided I wouldn't look because it might give me nightmares and to this day I regret it. Coward! 2. While I was running around screaming I wiped some blood on my grandmother's curtains. Apparently no one ever found out because years later I checked and it was still there, which is how I know I didn't imagine this event.

I remember seeing a PSA as a kid that essentially said "Dont run with scissors, you'll fall and cut yourself". I laughed like, yeah right TV, scissors cut paper, not people. So that's how I ended up stabbing my arm trying to prove the TV wrong

Props to Barry. The hero we all deserve

When ManyKudos yells “No STOP! It didn’t happen” it gets me every time.

Lol I remember when the strongest swear word I knew was 'curse you' so when I would get mad I would just scream curse you! like a witch.

"if children are the future, how come they never see it coming?" Whoever wrote that line needs to write a book, I will read it

I hope the editor is appropriately compensated for the torture they endure.

The story ManyKudos tells of him falling in the water tree hole was....honestly terrifying.

My first word was actually a swear word. My grandmother had a sailors mouth and my parents would always get upset at her for swearing around me but she was unwilling to change. One day she’s sitting on our couch, drops the remote on the floor, and says “oh sh*t!” I’m sitting on the other side of the room in my dad’s laps and say the same “oh sh*t!” Needless to say my parents were rather upset with my grandmother
