Chad and Jennifer Griffiths: Origin of Dysfunction
I've noticed a lot of posts on all of the siblings' threads about Gma and/or Gpa Griff that begin with something along the lines of, "I don't know where to put this but..." so, I thought I would make them a thread of their own for any future mentions/inquiries.
If you're new, or unfamiliar with the Griffiths family, here's a family tree for reference:
Chad and Jennifer Griffiths - (married) aka Grandma and Grandpa Griffiths, mother and father of:
Ruby - (married to Kevin) - 8passengers
Beau - (married to Emily) - A Griffiths Life Vlogs
Bonnie - (married to Joel) - Bonnie Hoellein
Julie - (married to Landon) - Deru Crew Vlogs
Ellie - (married to Jared) - Ellie and Jared
Happy gossiping!

Re: Chad and Jennifer Griffiths: Origin of Disfunction
I want to start out by asking if anyone knows how C&J went from living in a trailer park when Julie was born, to building their own home before bringing Ellie home? This always comes up in conversation, but I don't think we've ever actually discussed how little sense this makes.

Re: Chad and Jennifer Griffiths: Origin of Disfunction
I saw somewhere that Chad didn't get his degree until he was 30, I'm guessing he got his degree, got a better job and was able to afford the new house.

Re: Chad and Jennifer Griffiths: Origin of Disfunction
Who do you think Grandma and Grandpa's Griff's favorite grandchild is? I often wonder when I watch them interact with all the kids.
If I had to hazard a guess, I think I'd go with Olivia. She's sweet and low maintenance.

Re: Chad and Jennifer Griffiths: Origin of Disfunction
I think Shari & Chad have a special place in Gpa & Gma's hearts that no other grandchild will have, being that they were the first 2 of so many.
I can also see Olivia being very special to them. It's hard for me to pick who I think a favorite might be because we don't see them all together with the grandparents very often, and that's when favoritism really comes out.

Re: Chad and Jennifer Griffiths: Origin of Disfunction
Gosssshh the way Jennifer talks just drives me up the wall. I don't know why it's so irritating, but Bonnie's newest vlog was so hard to watch because of it. Ruby talks the same way, but not as badly as Jennifer. It's not even an accent...they like, over pronounce certain letters or something. Can anyone else put their finger on it?

Re: Chad and Jennifer Griffiths: Origin of Disfunction
I think a lot of it is how they talk to the kids.. it's like they have to speak a certain way to the children. Ruby is REALLY bad at this when talking to Eve and Russel... she definitely gets it from Jennifer because she talks the same way to all the grandkids and sometimes just in general. It's like they over articulate to the point it sounds completely different. It's so frustrating.Boredomatitsfinest wrote:Gosssshh the way Jennifer talks just drives me up the wall.

Re: Chad and Jennifer Griffiths: Origin of Disfunction
I think we'll be seeing more of the origins of dysfunctions through their own vlog. Did ya'll see they have a channel of their own now?

Did anyone (Ellie, Bonnie, Ruby) announce this? They have so few subscribers.amyfalafal wrote:I think we'll be seeing more of the origins of dysfunctions through their own vlog. Did ya'll see they have a channel of their own now?

Re: Chad and Jennifer Griffiths: Origin of Disfunction
I wonder who edits these. In one of the descriptions it reminded me of Joel’s writing style lol

Chad and Jennifer Griffiths: Origin of Disfunction
OT Side Note: After reading your post, I realized my embarrassing spelling error in the title and was wondering why spellcheck didn't catch it?? Apparently both "dis" and "dys"-function are in the dictionary and have the same meaning? Lmao. Now I just feel itchy and uncomfortable looking at this title because I've only ever seen/spelled it as "dys." So, I'm sorry English is hard. I promise I know how to spell.

Re: Chad and Jennifer Griffiths: Origin of Disfunction
Lmao, I know. Writing in third person on your own video is weird. If Joel hadn't have done the same thing, it would appear narcissistic to me. Like, would you write in third person on your own IG or FB post? No, of course not. So why is this a thing on YouTube? So odd. Hahacalliepaige84 wrote:I wonder who edits these.

Re: Chad and Jennifer Griffiths: Origin of Disfunction
Eh, not a big deal. "Dys-function" is the highly preferred homonym. The version with a "y" comes directly from Greek and the version with the "i" filtered from Greek through Latin. Considering the amount of their/there/they're abominations on these boards I don't think anyone will be bothered. Also Chad and Jennifer can be considered the origins of "Griffiths English" with all of its peculiarities so your title may be more fitting than you expected.Boredomatitsfinest wrote:OT Side Note: After reading your post, I realized my embarrassing spelling error in the title and was wondering why spellcheck didn't catch it??

Re: Chad and Jennifer Griffiths: Origin of Disfunction
The church might have helped as well. I remember that Ruby and Kevin had taken a loan for their first house with some help from the mormon church. I believe that the church encourages the members to portrait a certain family life style that looks good on the surface, like owning a house and if you can't afford one then there's som arrangements with help "loan" from the church i think...Boredomatitsfinest wrote:I want to start out by asking if anyone knows how C&J went from living in a trailer park when Julie was born, to building their own home before bringing Ellie home?

Re: Chad and Jennifer Griffiths: Origin of Disfunction
Snoozefest vlog again.. The kids all convinced them to start vlogging and so they're vlogging, subscriptions coming from their children's (except Ellie's) vlogs and instagram posts, so they're making money off their kids. They wont make it anywhere but I've said it before that the only reason why anyone of us would watch them is to see where Ellie gets her weird habits from.
Re: Chad and Jennifer Griffiths: Origin of Disfunction
I'm not a fan of the Griffin's but would love to watch another channel centered around a married couple with grown children. Are there any you all known of?
