DailyBotoxAndSpeechRoadblocks part #99

[cat9480]

The oil change thing was definitely pre-filmed. Ollie was wearing pants when he said bye to Finn, and then suddenly he’s in shorts on the ride to school. And it was clearly filmed pre-Botox.

I know they have to have the ads approved, so they pre-film and insert them...but why try to make it seem like is happened as part of that day? We all know it’s an ad, so just say “here’s an ad from xxx sponsor, hope you enjoy!” and leave it at that. It just seems so disingenuous to try to sneak it in, and not even do a good job of it, at that.

Good catch! I didn’t even notice it until after you mentioned it.
This vlog also has two ads with it. I hope that was an accident on YouTube’s part and Bryan did not intentionally do it to double dip (so to speak)

Yep, totally filmed way back on the day Missy ran out of gas on the hill, I think. And you are right - there were ads. I could see Bryan trying to beat the system, for sure.

That ad was actually Missy’s best one so far. Usually she’s so stuff and robotic that it’s cringey to watch her ads. But she pulled it off a bit better this time. (I may be biased because this is pretty much their first sponsorship that actually made me go “ooh! That’s a thing?” and google to see if it’s available here and compatible with my vehicle. Yaknow, boring adult things).

I know everyone else has commented on it, but, Jesus H. Roosevelt Christ, the fuck was that nonsense with Santa chastising Finn? They are awful, awful people. I grew up the scapegoat in my family, with my do-no-wrong, golden child sister. There is no doubt that I’m “better” than her in every way as an adult (that’s not meant to sound narcissistic, it’s just utterly true), but it’s so hurtful when you constantly feel like your own family just doesn’t like you very much. Unless they need you to pet sit while they all go to Cuba together. Sorry, I’m bitter.

Finn will be better off in the long run, but his poor little heart will carry the scars for life. Even if he’s smarter, more mature, successful, responsible, a better parent, and, because this is always the way it works out for scapegoats, ends up caring for his parents in their old age, he’ll never be recognized as the good son. And it hurts to not have your accomplishments recognized by the people you love.

That santa bit is crap! Poor Finn. First he is clearly an after thought and then they have santa tell him he isn't sleeping good? Wth. Maybe take him out of that stupid tent!

[natalka81]

Honestly I feel that as a kid I wouldn't have even enjoyed facetiming with Santa- not that it was an option in the 80s! But isn't the whole magic that we DON'T see him? It's bad enough that these kids get multiple expensive presents every week and have no idea that Christmas is supposed to be a special time for presents, but now they can't even enjoy Santa on the day he's supposed to actually come!
Also: Apparently they do Christmas now, you guys, by buying hand-crafted items from Nepal. Hm.

Those videos and phone calls are all a free thing now when you order a package from Santa. I mean, you can order just a video, but this is B&M and I'm sure they got the biggest package possible. I've done "packages from Santa" since my oldest was young, and as fun as it is the first year, it's not something you can just not do the next year without the child feeling naughty. I regret ever starting it tbh. We would order the Santa letter and it would come with little treats and a nice list certificate. The personalized videos and phone calls are just freebies, and I seldom shared those with my son because frankly, I found it creepy and unnecessary. I bet we see Oliver get a package in the mail soon. And yes, they could have included Finn in a better way, but I think it's safe to say he is 100% the scapegoat child. They have the money to afford two separate videos, and could have just done Finn's when Ollie wasn't there so he didn't wonder why he wasn't the centre of attention. Golden child vs scapegoat scapegoat child is a form of abuse we often see from YTers (Ellie and Jared are awful for it), and I'm just not sure whether the fans are somehow reinforcing it, or if it's just the type of person drawn to YT in the first place.

As for a present Ollie and Finn would really love, I bet they would appreciate a quiet little vacation to say, Oceanside or somewhere close by with JUST Bryan and Missy. No Hollisters, and no cell phones. I think they would love just having their mom and dad to themselves with no distractions. No work calls, hair appointments, etc...Delay the vlogs and upload candid footage they took when they are back. I think that gift would not only be great for the vlogs, but for the whole family. It sounds so simple, but it would never happen.

Dear God don't let Byan do a Christmas CD

[coolusername1236]

Damn. Even Santa thinks Finn is bad.

Ollie didn't even care when Missy told him about the toy he got last year.

I could see how it might be fun once, if the kid is interested, but checking in every week until Christmas? Or whatever Bryan said. Jeez. Sounds high pressure. They’ve already got the freaking elf reporting back every day since Thanksgiving, now they have to have weekly check ins with the big guy? Sounds creepy to me. Lol

The whole Nepal thing had me dying. And also the stupid Grammy “invitation.” He oh-so-meticulously positioned it on a fancy, decorated table and zoomed in on like three times. He’s so proud of it Either he is trying to make everyone believe it’s some big prestigious thing (probably), or he really doesn’t know that everyone who pays their membership fees gets asked to buy tickets - not sure which gives me more secondhand embarrassment for him.

I can’t wait until they start “opening their Advents.” (As per Missy.)

So disgusted....
Paid ad for oil? When did missy ever take her car? This is the girl who runs out of gas all the time.

“...do things with Ollie”. What about your other child?

Notice how Bryan never actually said he was nominated for a Grammy? Gotta keep the minions guessing which song.

The whole Santa call... noticed how after Ollie said he wanted a truck, they try to change his mind to dinosaur stuff.

Leaving Finn out of that call... even if it could only be 1 child per call, the way they did it for Finn was horrible!!! Like an afterthought and then it was something negative. Really is too bad.

Why take Ollie out of school to go see Santa? There really isn’t any reason to do that. Leave the kid in school you idiots!

There is so much to be annoyed with. The oil change? This is like the "We don't get one on one time with Ollie because we have to change Finn's diaper" bit. Great. So when he's older and wondering why he feels less than, he will have videographic evidence of why. And they are talking about having another baby? WHY? They already apparently have the perfect child in Ollie.

And a whole month of Elf on the Shelf vlogs, right? I hate Elf on the Shelf. I am so glad that my kids grew up before he came along. My daughter probably wouldn't have liked it anyway. She was glad when she found out Santa wasn't real, because it creeped her out that he came in our house at night when we were all asleep. She probably really would have freaked over an elf watching her and reporting back to Santa. Creepy stool pigeon.
When are the minions going to catch on to what horrible parents these people are? Poor Finn. But no, they're #parentinggoals.

In my opinion, the whole elf on the shelf thing is just dumb. Santa, I can understand. I aplogize to anyone here who might let there kids believe in the elf on the shelf, but I've always thought that thing was creepy!

[brownprincess93]

Do you guys ever notice at the end of their stupid intro both Missy and Bryan are focusing and hugging Ollie and poor Finn is just staring at Missy for some attention? They are both selfish idiots! Pause Missy at 0:45 - I'm sorry but that Botox isn't going to help with your giant forehead!! Geez - you can park cars on that thing! You know when you throw your kid a birthday party and you HAVE to invite the whole class - even kids who aren't really your child's friend? Yeah....that is exactly what that Grammy invite is like...BryLard doesn't HAVE to be there but he is still invited...it's a pity invite since he's paid his way in....what a loser!! Missy telling Santa that Ollie is her favourite child and Finn is just a "disappointing child" - even to Santa!! Wow - can these weirdo's get a life!!

Full disclosure. I dislike Elf on the Shelf too, but I often find myself watching and re-watching Bonnie's Elf on the Shelf vlogs (even in the middle of the summer) because I find them so damn adorable.

[onbreak]

Im not watching.. I hate when they are mean to Finley.

I just can't. He is such a band wagoner. When The Force Awakens came out, he even said he never liked Star Wars.

And they let Ollie watch Jurassic World, and Star Wars, but look down on SlyFox for letting Cass watch TMNT because "it's too violent"? They are such hypocrites. Mind you, not defending SlyFox. I loathe them easily as much. I won't go into why because it'll turn into a rant on the DB thread. It's just the hypocrisy of DB looking down their noses at someone else's parenting.[img]//uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201711 ... d274e2.jpg[/img][img]//uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201711 ... df41d0.jpg[/img]
