    • This was absolutely hilarious and very well done.

      As far as the story, here's my take.

      If you want to live with your girlfriend, maybe you should make sure you have something in common. If you move in with a douche bag with a pretty face, welcome to a life of watching WE.

      If you must have the airhead and you have nothing in common, maybe don't be a total pushover and do EVERYTHING she wants. Maybe you actually like gardening and she might have a new found affection for sports. ah, compromise.

      Or at least you can assert your right to do your own thing.

      But! if it was a functional relationship, it wouldn't be very entertaining- so cheers for entertainment. Who doesn't like to laugh at two douchebags?

    • Depends on the girl...

      Depends on the relationship...

      If you can just find a girl you truly have lots in common with I presume the results improve in my experience.

      Most of my girlfriends have been pretty cool...but it's a bitch 'un-moving in'...so my theory was now to only seriously date girls I would consider marrying...

      It's a work in progress...we'll see which lessons apply and which ones don't, but will damn sure laugh if/when specific similar experiences happen.

      If it's the right girl...I wouldn't mind hanging out with her all day. Sue me...but my friends aren't nearly as cool as some of my girlfriend's have been. lol Hey, I'm a simple creature. I like fun and happiness.

    • Some people seem to have taken this pod a little too seriously... I watched it and laughed my ass off. Then I immediately called my husband and apologized for taking over his life when I moved in with him because I saw a lot of myself in that girlfriend. I especially related to all the plans making and bathroom questions.
      Anyone who found this pod to be sexist needs to lighten up a little. I thought it was hilarious.

    • Regarding this pod...

      Eugene's problem, and the problem with most men under 30, is that he needs to grow some balls and actually stand up for his rights and wants in a relationship. Equal respect leads to cooperation and true compromise, not a passive-aggressive multi-month fuck romp. Though maturity would seem the ultimate cure for his and many of his generations condition, many are now breaching their early and mid-30's while still failing to make this realization and achieve a stable, committed relationship.

      The 18 years of my marriage have demanded great amounts of effort, time and sacrifice and have awarded me with an amazing and deeply enriching relationship and the best friend and partner I could've hoped for.

      A shame that Eugene, who is obviously aware that he is lacking something enough that he was compelled to make a pod detailing how a failed relationship (with a percieved alpha female) wasn't his fault, obviously lacks the insight to look into his own pod and see that if he doesn't make some fundamental adjustments to his character that he'll eventually share in the destiny that so many of his generation seem doomed to discover: middle-aged and desperate to find someone/anyone so they don't grow old and die alone.

      Therefore, in the effort to spare Eugene and so many others such a lonely fate (sure you love being single...until a holiday, a birthday or until you get sick) I offer the following advice: If you're comfortable enough with another person to have sex with them, then you should have enough guts to be in the bathroom at the same time. Poke and prod every orifice and swap just about every fluid in the bedroom with no problems, but you get grossed out at the thought of you both in the bathroom and one of you is taking a piss or dropping a deuce? Grow the fuck up and realize that if you want true and lasting love, then you have to accept it, warts and all.

      That depends on the warts, sir.

      Now the joke answer aside: It also depends on the other person. Perhaps your wife is different but "alpha females" as you put it are more and more common. And that's not a bad thing, since some men like/need that because they're no alpha males. Some relationships fall apart when one(in this case, she) isn't in control, despite the compromises and maturity that the other person exhibits. Doing background checks on friends? Yeah, chances are your wife doesn't do that because you're from a different generation, but without the experience with this generation's women, you're not really in a position to comment on the different situations that we have to deal with as young adults. Just the same as your parents were right in some, but not ALL aspects when trying to give you advice. There are generational differences.

      I get the point of what you're saying, and despite my earlier "humor only" post, agree. I am, after all, a mental health professional and very much advocate maturity and sharing. On the other hand, I can take a joke, and this is after all meant to be a FUNNY video.

      So sit back, enjoy the humor of "men are different from women" and understand it's a joke.

      Having sex with someone and going poop in front of them are two entirely different experiences. Times have changed in 18 years, agree with it or not. Young people are scared of marriage...and that is understandable.

      It took balls for Eugene just to make this video and share it with us. I think his personality is just fine and one day he'll marry his best friend.

      You two went to the trouble to reply to me, so I'll return the favor.

      I realize that the first respondent views this pod as humor. Personally, I think the pods creator could've better demonstrated his intentions as purely satirical. I've watched it a few times and though I can see your point, to an extent, I haven't been dissuaded from my original summation.

      To the second respondent:

      Sex and being in the bathroom at the same time, do have something very much in common, intimacy. Just because you can fuck someone doesn't mean you're a good partner, no matter how good you are. If you can commit this act with a person, but can't imagine being in the bathroom at the same time as they have a truly honest, human and humbling moment (or vice versa), then how ready are you for a long term relationship?

      I agree that "young people are scarred of marriage", so why did he create the pod and help promote such misgivings? This was an excellent example of where long-term relationships are going off track and why marriage is becoming disposable. Furthermore, it offers nothing more than unenlightened warnings in return for the viewers time (if you view the pod as something more than just satire), as there are no moments when Eugene considers where some of the fault may lay on him.

      I don't think it took balls to make this pod. Balls would've meant that Eugene would've realized that he was an equal partner in the relationship and instead of being a self-centered whiny bitch, he would've grown a pair and stood up for himself, while working towards a mature and satisfying relationship.

      Ugar, I hear what you're saying. But you're assuming so much. Clearly this conversation isn't going to go anywhere b/c you live in a land I can't seem to find.

      The way you speak is harsh and if you were my husband and you spoke to me that way it would hurt my feeings. There would be no sex OR pooping. So there.

      Eugene has a sensitivity to him that a woman will appreciate one day. You're like WAY older than him. Let the guy mature a bit. He'll make it. He is a star compared to what is out there. I don't care to hear what you think about him. You're not picking up on his underlying character. All you see are mistakes b/c you are being oober judgmental.

      Please don't talk to your son the way you're talking to Eugene. He will have psychological issues up the wazzoo, and he will in turn end up to be a bad husband and father. Break the cycle today, Ugar.

      Eugene just needs to be careful he doesn't marry his controlling, overbearing, never pleased mother. He needs to marry a woman with a similar temperment. One that enjoys chilling on the sofa and vegging sometimes. Not someone who is about putting on a show and entertaining other people outside the home.

      Are you getting all of this Eugene?

    • John,
      We spoke in my office about six years ago, Mike Sewell used to work for your dad and he sent you. You have matured my man, to wide sage status. Nicely done.

    • some have said this video came off sexist...

      well, it tapped into a lot of honest thoughts that guys have living with a girlfriend, myself included.

      "i saw the first overtime, i don't need to see the second." ...classic.

      and thus, it's hilarious and should be required viewing.

    • wow, some people obviously don't have a sense of humor! THAT WAS AWESOME!! :-)

      i'm a female and that didn't offend me in the least, because unfortunately there ARE women out there like that. plus, it was meant to be funny, not to be taken seriously. come on ladies, loosen up!!

      the main actor was HYSTERICAL! l'd watch more videos w/ him in it.....tooo funny! :-) Nice work.

    • Here's a tip genius. Instead of dating someone becuase their looks impress your friends and they let you have intercourse with them, stop being so emotionally lazy and actually make the effort to date someone that you actually have stuff in common with and get u!!

      I'm sure you are unfamiliar with this concept seeing as how you view relationships as something to tolerate in order to avoid excessive masterbation.

      Not all women watch bridal shows and austin movies or are completely intolerant of anything that interests the man in their life.

      IT IS NOT NORMAL TO ACCEPT THAT IN A RELATIONSHIP! BEING WITH SOMEONE DOES NOT MEAN YOU SUPPRESS WHO YOU ARE!!YOU'RE ACTUALLY SUPPOSED TO BE HAPPY!!

      Don't blame all of women-kind becuase your afraid to be who you are with someone. It's not their fault that you don't believe your good enough...

      Wimp.

    • i really enjoyed watching the video! i think it's great - I especially like the part with the spray in the bathroom... And the part about the brother quizzing the boyfriend was hilarious!

      I also enjoyed all the actors - the narrator especially. His acting, facial expressions, and little narratives were great and really, really funny!

      All in all I thought it was a really fun play on what can happen if you live with your girlfriend.

    • I find this video rather sexist. The way the girlfriend is portrayed is awful: Woman tricks man into moving in together. Woman insists on watching wedding marathons with man. Woman is controlling of man's schedule. Woman makes man play scrabble rather than hang out with his friends. Woman "rearranges your life and ruins everything you love and hold dear..." Man will become ashamed of knowing the difference between a duvet and a comforter thus compromising his machoism. Eugene even says that this is an exact map of what happens when men and women move in together, as if every woman is a needy control freak.

      Thumbs down.
