December 24, 1994. Joe being Joe on Christmas Eve 1994

Story of this..
Joe and my mom bought his son
(Donovan) and his wife (Regina)
something with significant dollar value
for their presents.
Only for The wife Regina to give mom
and Joe a jar of nuts (about $1) and a
Royal Dansk tin container of cookies
which were about $3 to buy back in
1994!
This, ladies and gentlemen, was the type
of personality Joe had. He was insulted
by the value of the gifts. He was insulted
only because they got them something
signicficantly high value. BUT even then,
Joe had the tendency to be insulted with
low dollar value gifts. Since he was used
to the higher pay environment of life
(his job as an optician)
Joe was 48 at the time. He
was a heavy drinker and
smoker. He probably was
drinking, like he often did.
Almost everyday, I observed
Joe drinking a whole bottle
of Smirnoff vodka.
I, the one who made this
video in 1994, was 24 at the
time. I am 53 as of 2023!
Let me tell ya, I wouldn't
even be bothered to be
insulted by any gifts. if
someone gave me $1 items, I
myself would sort of question
it. But definitely would not
throw that tin full of cookies
over the fence! Like Joe did.
LOL

This was pretty funny! 😆 Joe was a character and it's crazy that he's only 48 here and looks maybe 58. I'm turning 47 in February and think I'm still somewhat youthful looking.. at least I like to think so. lol Thanks for sharing another awesome video, and Merry Christmas to you and your family, Gil!

[@LifeofWalk]

I like that there is no lying in you Gil! 🤣

[@cardiffchris]

Thanks for showing these videos Gilby. .

[@buddyboy1309]

This is why I hate Christmas. It’s not about the gifts.

[@fueledbymusic3]

Yeah, you know. I actually felt bad about the cookies he later threw over the fence!

[@joeyone4683]

Thank you Gil for uploading this one !!!! 😅

[@tm5aw357]

What I would give to go back to 1994. What I would give to go back then and hang out with Heckler, Arnold and Gilby. I think most of them were drunk though and egged Joe on. As always, great video, Gilbert. Love you all!

[@zanderzaza4947]

You guys are hilarious !!!! Lmao!! “It’s for the rats or pigeons “ then proceeds to talk about the lady who bought the gift🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 “Don’t ever get a woman like that” -Joe

[@fueledbymusic3]

LOL

Lmao!!!

[@AnvilClank]

Gil, if you gifted me a tin of Royal Dansk and it wasn't filled with sewing supplies I would be so happy I'd cry. Anyway, hope you're enjoying the Christmas season so far.

[@jj3164]

A can of Nutz. Merry effing Christmas Joe jajajjaajjajaja

[@1984Watching]

His son has kids……. Maybe they were hurting financially and couldn’t afford much? 🤷‍♀️ I’m glad your mom got away from him ❤ She was too good for him.

[@1marcelfilms]

LOL after 20 who still cares what you get for gifts. Better cookies you can eat than clothes you wont wear

[@morresortiz]

The year i was born lol 1994!!!!!!!! And im watching this video on new year!!!!! 😎 😊

[@Kilomanjaro11]

Every time I watch your vids in the beginning I always think of what I was doing at the time. Good memories for sure 👌

Not funny

Jar of nuts is questionable, but who would get mad over a box of cookies? I’d be happy and eat them all up for myself lol

[@albertosayas]

I am 28 turning 29 this month. Born 1994! 😮 time flys by so fast!

[@sonnydacuse7622]

Bring more JOE VLOGS. Joe what makes your Vlog interesting

[@fueledbymusic3]

Yeah. 😆 My step dad was funny, no question about that for sure.

[@LL-fd7xn]

Wow, this has to be such a coincidence that my situation happened in Christmas of 1994! Well i was lucky to get any gift! My parents didn't make huge money. And so my mom gave me a two piece Lint Roller! (The big washable roller and a compact lint roller.). I was nine years old when i got them. I was hating it. However i had to remind myself, my parents couldn't afford suxh extravagant gifts. Im not sure what happened to them. However, i wish i still have them because they were a reminder of my mom. (She passed away in 2019.) The thing we take for granted. As of now, I wouldn't complain if I got items like those. Its the thought that counts! Also in this economy, we need to take what we can get!

[@danielking1850]

I love the Joe videos...

[@MacGuffinExMachina]

My parents taught us to be appreciative of what we get, especially as an adult. We were always of the mind that Christmas was about the kids. Nuts and cookies are a pretty decent stocking stuffer. Now if you're rich, I guess it might seem tacky, but my family was mostly working class/lower middle.

[@MacGuffinExMachina]

After watching it, maybe there was an element of him not liking gwr to begin with, and it was afrer they left, so not as bad as I thought before watching lol. Still, ehhhh, I don't know. Seems like annal around shitty situation.

[@Mr.Buttermaker]

That intro was awesome! Screen shot of cookies! 😂

[@fueledbymusic3]

Mr Buttermaker!!

[@muerte9O9]

Those cookies really have never changed to, tin and everything same with the popcorn one's lol. We pretty much still get those every year to.

[@jamesmarshall7387]

6:45 first time I see gilbert fighting with someone over the camera LOL!

[@Arnnnnn]

That little kid was about to catch some hands lol

[@user-im1nx5fi8s]

It's insane that no one's offered you a documentary,called "LIFE IN THE 80'S/90'S!!!!

[@joeyone4683]

If funny 😆 you… Joe had the answers for everything 😂😂😂😂

[@lakermark2006]

lol, I think Arnold and Hector kind of instigated that. Joe didn't seem too rattled by it until Arnold and Hector started explaining how disrespectful it was. Arnold and Hector seems to know which buttons to stir shit up and keep things spicy.

[@vincently1995]

Happy Holidays

[@marksreviewsandrants8554]

HA HA HA I thought we was going to see Joe throw the cookies over the fence,it looks like an episode of Seinfeld.

[@NipponThunderBolt]

If not the dreaded fruitcake...oh nooo!...it's those darn Danish cookies in a tin can😆...I kept watching and hoping the very last scene would be of Joe tossing the cookies over the neighbor's fence...The End...Joe got everyone going in the kitchen...sometimes when a person drinks it's hard for that person to hold down what they're really feeling...all of ya made me crack up😂🤣😂

[@jamesmarshall7387]

Please look for joe!, We want to see him how actually looks 😍

[@donramon2501]

He probably die

[@Dunkaroos248]

Your brothers absolutely egged Joe on. His whole opinion changed about the gift when they were shitting on it.

[@user-mm7fd9ih1e]

I miss Joe , and I never met him.

[@karinaleon6271]

Aquí ando en el chisme 😅 not even my relatives or family, but I’m over here just over here laughing

[@karinaleon6271]

Happy holidays to you and yours wishing you all many blessings 🎄

[@mannykiller]

Even back then video game electronics were separating family members

[@bayshore1whe118]

A jar of nuts? I would have thrown them out of the house right then and there with their jar of peanuts and cookie tin…

[@oledcrt]

that’s drinkin’ buddy

[@irisshalurhad7901]

Well to be fair his son bought the nuts before he saw how expensive Joe’s gift to him was.

[@1marcelfilms]

JOE "i want a VCR for christmas"

[@donramon2501]

1994 I wanted the super Nintendo for Christmas but we where poor I got some sweater 😢

[@mike04574]

is joe still around? would be cool to a see a video with him current day

[@FacesOfLA]

Why make Joe a villain. He’s a good guy and has a cool character to himself. God bless you Joe

[@user-hd9qm7td7n]

Did “M” inspire this from his question on one of your recent KZbin lives?

[@fueledbymusic3]

Well actually, yes. I know I had several of you mention that video. So it gave me an idea to pull that part of one of videos and re-upload that part. 😆

[@carolannekimmitt8516]

Yes it's the thought, people should be more humble. And no one should be more dominant than the other,he seems like a bit of a womaniser.. you treat people the way you want to be treated yourself!

[@1984Watching]

I agree. He was so disrespectful towards women, and Gil’s mom. I’ve been married 3 times, but one thing that shouldn’t even have to be said, is “Don’t disrespect or talk negatively about your spouses child/ children.” Being drunk is not an excuse. I could feel Gil’s mom and Hector when Joe was mouthing off about Arnold. Even if your spouses kid/adult has issues, you don’t speak down on/ about them to their face and in front of the mother! …..and on CHRISTMAS?!?!? 🤦‍♀️ That really made me mad, because Gil’s family are genuinely good kindhearted people, and Joe is just a drunk @ss hole. It’s not HIS place to judge Theresa’s kids, I don’t care if he pays the bills, it’s just something that is not his place. It would be different if Gil’s dad was never in the picture, or abandoned them and never spoke to them, if the stepfather steps up from beginning, and actually had a part in raising them, then I would think, “OK, well at least he stepped up, helped, tried to raise the children right, etc.” but even then, you can address the kids “problem “ in a better way than a drunk rant. Gil’s mom deserved SO much better 🥺 I’m surprised Hector didn’t kick Joe’s @ss, that just shows how much composure Hector has not to knock the SH!T out of him.

[@user-hd9qm7td7n]

Definitely lol

[@srekop123]

I’m With Joe on this one 😂😅

[@hesentmeorbs101]

I kinda agree. Thats the stuff you bring to share for snack before or after dinner. However i do see the pressure in many people like even Hector here in this video when talking about what he’s getting his dad. This year our family decided on activities instead of gifts.

[@user-im1nx5fi8s]

I'm 45yrs old with maybe like 2 Grey hairs that I cut off sometimes, Joe looks like he's in his 60s

[@fueledbymusic3]

Apparently he did look older. Not sure why that was.

Heavy drinking for years will age you.
