I'll just randomly think about the Toys R US scene where she's just yelling at him from across the store. Wait until you get to the Crayola Factory episode

[@annastewart7139]

Oh gosh; that one was even worse😭

[@SjofnBM1989]

And then she was BAFFLED that he was upset and embarrassed by her. 💀

[@Vaporwades]

That Crayola factory episode oh my God... You unlocked a core memory for me

[@maryalicefike4704]

fun fact: kate (being a nurse and having connections) started fertility treatment after only a few months of trying instead of the usual over a year. the reason for this is very important bc if you give someone fertility treatments when they don’t really need them you end up with multiples. kate is very lucky all of them lived, very rarely does someone get pregnant with that many children and have them all be born healthy. could have been very dangerous for the both of them.

[@abbysc417]

That’s such a good point holy heck

[@cassie1264]

Fun fact: fertility treatments are well known to come with increased instances of multiple births for ANYONE who conceives that way. Another "fun fact:" it has been said that Kate was diagnosed with PCOS - a condition that very commonly affects a woman's ability to ovulate regularly and causes difficulty conceiving. Specialists do consider such things when recommending treatments. Her condition probably had more to do with it than her "connections." I fricken hate Kate Gosselin, but I also can't stand when people spread misinformation about medical interventions or speak on other people's health as if they know everything about them.

[@tylerhicks5858]

Also I haven't watched this show since I was a kid but I do remember her saying in the show that they were pregnant with seven and lost one during the pregnancy, how grateful she was the other ones made it. Im not a fan of her but yeah no need to spread misinformation

[@mollietenpenny4093]

I remember watching Jon and Kate Plus Eight as a kid. I also remember not liking Kate because she seemed mean and stressful to be around. Years later I learned wasn't wrong about her.

[@FukaiKokoro]

This made me remember how unlikable Kate is. She's the OG Karen. Haircut and all.

[@user-zt4kj1go2d]

I was in middle school when this show started and it was mandatory talk at the lunch table to discuss each episode the day after it aired 😂

[@tcbobb1613]

Omg that's so funny and awesome!

[@cutiepieray01]

Same!

[@KMCKLL]

The breathing treatment/nebulizer is usually for albuterol for asthma/wheezing which a lot of premie babies and even just regular kids have

[@FukaiKokoro]

She talks to him like a dog or pet. Or worse. Most people wouldn't even talk to their pet like she talks to him

[@arrowverselover100]

IMO, the word "obey" always felt like you're talking about an animal, not a child.

[@livelollobotomy]

broooo i THOUGHT i wouldn’t remember anything but with each episode oh my god the memories are rushing back

[@MylingCyrus]

They had to work overtime to make John seem like the bad guy. They hated eachother so badly!! Im genuinely confused why they even got pregnant a second time

[@beverlyarcher3744]

Yeah the mother is the bad guy

[@Chelseabee55]

She pressured him. He was happy with the twins and she wanted one more.

[@BradleyBoy]

The ToysRus fight would've went way more smoothly if Kate let Jon explain what he was doing (I think he was distracting them so they wouldn't ask "Is this toy for me" etc.)

[@meaganwilliams6826]

I don’t remember Kate sounding so much like Ellen DeGeneres😂

[@FukaiKokoro]

Kate seems OCD or something. Like to the point she should have gotten help, like therapy. it's okay to have mental health problems it's not okay to allow that to effect other people. Glad John got away and hope Colin is okay! She legit shoved him into a mental hospital.

[@cassie1264]

That's not OCD, it's narcissism. I know people throw those terms around casually these days, but her behavior legitimately appears to be controlling and manipulative, among demonstrating other narcissistic traits. Being a perfectionist about cleanliness and organization isn't the same as having OCD. Honestly, narcissism is also a hell of a lot more damaging to those around you than OCD.

[@HayleySulfridge]

@@cassie1264thank you, i have OCD that goes through severe stag3s, especially postpartum, and it’s got nothing to do with cleaning or controlling my spouse and kids lol

[@SjofnBM1989]

She's not OCD she just can't stand when things aren't about her and only her. So she acts like a See You Next Tuesday because she thrives on any kind of attention, including negetive.

[@littleprettyfairy]

@@cassie1264no? i have ocd and also a personality disorder and its literally gross to act like one is worse, esp when youre talking how bad it is to not be the one with the disorder. narcissistics are not bad people. us with personality disorders will never be free from this bs. at this point im more scared of being around neurotypical ppl bc they just hate us for existing

[@HayleySulfridge]

@@littleprettyfairy they never said they were bad people, however they were pointing out the negative symptoms that go along with narcissistic personality disorder that Kate in fact does display. No one said anything about you personally.

[@frankreads8618]

How could anybody, from the network to the audience to the couple themselves, be ok with the sheer resentment these two people had for each other?

[@jessied4105]

So glad KZbin figured out my perfect algorithm. Love your channel!

[@Chelseabee55]

The cleaning lady thing bothered me. It would be close to impossible to work with that many people in the house. Also we don’t know how many hours were paid for. You can’t clean every surface of an entire house throughly without a full days work.

[@mayalarrondo7254]

as someone who grew up without cable, this is one of many shows that absolutely fascinated me! this is such an entertaining way to satisfy my curiosity!! can’t wait to watch the rest of the series and all the rest of the videos on your channel!!

[@kallieswyer4006]

i also used to watch this as a kid, so wild seeing the summaries of the episodes now!

[@pansy_boi]

i literally named one of my baby dolls after one of the kids LMAO (i was a child, it wasnt weird)

[@meowcraft2403]

No same 😂😂

[@Roblox-ni9vh]

That’s so real

[@2zoey07]

Early 2000s girlhood is you showing the picture of the American girl doll and me going “hey that’s my bed spread” 😂

[@allieeilla9279]

7:18 that’s Aiden not Joel!❤ Thank you for the video! What a blast from the past. Definitely looks different as an adult.

[@Becca-in7dp]

Theyre from where I live and I've been recommended Jon on FB and he used to DJ at a local bar. I LIVEDDDD for this show

[@natalie-wf4cu]

When i was a kid (im talking like 5 years old) i never watched kids tV, my shit was jon and kate plus 8 and cake boss

[@Haysalto]

Omg same, the way I was wayyyy too invested in the lives of the Carlos’ Bakery cake decorators 😂😂

[@kirstenperkins6898]

JOHN TURNS 30!? I’ll be 32 soon and they seem SO much older to me. WOW.

[@jessied4105]

Oh man I can’t wait for you to get to GumGate!

[@hookedonlove5821]

I’d love to hear your thoughts on the rest of the Jon & Kate seasons and Kate plus 8 seasons. Also, what do you think about 19 and counting or Jersey Shore

[@s0undscapes752]

This video was great!! Love your channel 😊

[@emmagottschalk1999]

I remembered watching this show on Netflix when I was younger and being HOOKED this is interesting to now look back on lol

[@Jamiebrakebill221]

There's the crayola episode when kate and john kept on arguing throughout the whole show because the kids kept on being messy

[@ArJayPtV]

oh this was great! i can't wait for you to find out everything else because boy was it a messssss!

[@tanyagsw7920]

I heard the christmas episode wasnt filmed on Christmas so Kate told the kids it was christmas to get their reactions. I think the picture/video of the tree was taken by Kate or Jon. I know they were young but I'm sure they knew what christmas was so if its true its beyond messed up

[@lindseye.6875]

Kate gets a lot of flack, and I understand why, but I think I’d be a little unhinged if I had 8 children. I have two under 3 and can get snappy sometimes. I try SO hard not to be, but we all have our moments. Honestly the only thing I judged in this episode is Jon telling Cara to pee her pants.

[@clown104]

This is my weirdest hyperfixaton, I’ve watched all the seasons like 3 times in the past two to three years. Like what even

[@clown104]

Did make me more comfortable w having kids in the future

[@binklebonkle1005]

Thank you for making this video 🥰🥰

[@taytaypointless]

I was obsessed with this show in elementary school for some reason

[@doubtingtom92]

My first time seeing a video of yours, served up by the algorithm. Not bad c:

[@DearSparklesTV]

When I watched this as a kid I didn't register how young Jon and Kate were. They were getting fertility treatments to have the twins at 24 years old? And having 8 children before 30? Wild.

[@maddy.with.a.y]

When I walk in sit up straight

[@savannamarie8932]

I watched this show about ten years ago. This makes me want to rewatch it. But I love your thoughts on the show.

[@colourful_dori]

I never watched back in the day so this is super interesting

[@dyl180]

Best videos ever

[@meghanjoscott]

why did i watch this when i was a kid😭

[@JesterMoes]

How am I here sub 200 views....KZbin knows me too well its scary

[@HellsFurby]

Omg I had one of the look Alike dolls too 💀

[@arrowverselover100]

7:24: Isn't that Aaden? Aaden is the one with glasses.

[@danixxgreen]

Good catch! I think I’m getting better now that I’m on Season 3

[@arrowverselover100]

@@danixxgreen I used to be able to tell the differece between them when I watched, but now, I forget how to tell the difference other than Aaden having glasses.

[@Jamiebrakebill221]

Did all the siblings got to go the American girl doll place or did they stay behind at the house?

[@eemiaa10]

I want to know your thoughts on the whole Collin situation.

[@foxy6481]

Lizzy Gordon and you share style! Lol

[@Pomni740]

People have had 8 kids in one pregnancy.

[@dylpickled]

16:16 my vacation bible school has a song about obeying parents and the lord

[@haha-eb9jz]

I can't tell if you're being sarcastic about them being romantic lmao

[@frankreads8618]

It's still weird to me how people act like having a lot of children all at once entitles them to fame.

[@mds7157]

Shows like this are exactly why I’ll never understand why people need multiple children. This looks like a nightmare.

[@maryhoffman3037]

Read KATE GOSSELIN: How She Fooled The World: The Rise And Fall Of A Reality TV Queen. It's mostly conspiracy theories by an ex-paparazzi and friend of Jon's, but the coincidences are insane.

[@tkay7950]

I’d guess the discomfort you feel around the word ‘obey’ may not just be with its association to religious parents using it, but more for the inherently controlling nature of it. It’s a key feature of authoritarian parenting (and, while there’s not necessarily any ‘right’ way to parent, especially with the vastly different contexts families find themselves in, a lot of more progressive people in Western cultures would prefer the ‘authoritative’ style of parenting, where you’re assertive with your kids but also warm and spend time talking to kids about rules, the reasons for them, etc.)

[@melissam.6652]

God this series is so boring when rewatching these clips as an adult

[@keturah7749]

Jon and Kate had an original show when the sextuplets were born.

[@Hi_Felisha]

Why did my 20 year old self watch this lol

[@beverlyarcher3744]

I only watched because I loved the kids I was 17 when this show came out
