Original Video: • Husband Guesses My Boo...

[@marshwiggle8364]

I feel like this video deserves a bad description - "Wife is annoyed because her husband pays attention to her and is good at stuff"

Is that really a bad description though? It seems pretty accurate to me. lol

[@geceergen7920]

THIS is my favorite bad description.

[@jtlivin]

My favorite is always the one from the Wizard of Oz: "Transported to a surreal landscape, a young girl kills the first person she meets and then teams up with three strangers to kill again."

[@kateworkman921]

I like the one that also says something about Wizard of Oz being the ultimate chick fight because it's two women arguing over a pair of shoes.

[@Micktrex]

Husband: Is smart and pays attentions to things his wife has said about books. This angers the Merphy.

Even better: women always complain that their husbands don't listen to them enough and when a husband actually does, the wife says he listens too much.

"Boy delivers antique jewelry" Lol, except Frodo's 50 years old. I know he's short, but he's been of age for 17 years.

@@ADADEL1 Yeah, I assumed it was just in the books and not at all mentioned in the films. I haven't read much of the books so I assume that is why I was unaware. I feel like it should have mentioned that in the Films but what ever.

[@rmsgrey]

@@TheZebbga In the movie, they cut out 17 years, and don't mention that it was also Frodo's 33rd birthday at Bilbo's 111th birthday party, so it's anyone's guess how old Frodo actually is in the movie. In the book, Aragorn is 90 (but lives another 120 years before dying of old age).

[@TheZebbga]

@@rmsgrey Thats interesting. Does the books describe Frodo of looking young? Because this seems to imply Hobbits have a long life span but I thought the only reason Bilbo lived that long was because he had the Ring. Like obviously he still looked young and when he gave the Ring away he ages quicker but living to 111 isn't all that impressive if the life spans are longer than Humans anyway.
