RIP Mr. Brimley. No more getting up every fifteen or twenty minutes all through the night. Time to get some rest.

It's not a bad idea once in a while

[@JonnyBoyOfficial]

3 years after Wilfords departure and I find myself coming back to this video that I found nearly a decade ago. Thank you for making this video ❤

[@konrad2008]

Almost 10 years on and still one of the best.

I love this track because it has a great call to action: 1. Relax. Your problems could be worse so it's hard to feel terrible about it 2. It's okay to make mistakes as long as you learn from them 3. Do what you have to do and it will pay off Doesn't even matter if you have diabeetus.

[@SprungSavior]

Rest In Peace, you will be fondly missed and immortalised by the people who love you 💕

Sometimes, when I feel down and hopeless it happens that I listen to this great song. It's giving me motivation to get on with my life, even if I don't have diabetes. Thanks Wilford. Thanks for lighting my world up.

[@Klyce]

Dude same here! I don't have diabetes, but this video still encourages me to be the best I can and pick myself up.

[@strikergaming4207]

Lol ikr. Motivation, humor, and diabetus, this video has it all :)

[@Still-Sitting]

I DO my exercises and I TAKE my medication ✊😭

Still the most encouraging video on KZbin.

this is surprisingly inspiring but awesome

In August, it will be my 20th year living with Type 1 diabetes, have not let my diabetes interfere with my life, will also come back to this video again.

I haven't laughed that hard in a long time. I nearly suffocated from laughing so hard.

[@razoredge6476]

Hell yeah! LMAO 😅 😅

[@hazzagcb]

i nearly shit myself

[@andrewfutterman3346]

I don't laugh at this particular video because I think it's meant to be less of a parody and more of a motivational speech to have a positive attitude towards whatever challenges life throws at you (not just diabetes). That's not to say that you can't laugh at yourself and loosen up, because after all, that's what Wilford learned to do.

[@myunclegoo]

My 1 and 3 year olds love this song. They ask me every day for "The Beetus."

[@charliechurch5004]

Awww🥰💕

[@teddyfilli3079]

Rest in peace, he may be gone, but his Diabeetus live on.

[@JunKazamaFan]

(Wipes a tear away). Wow, this is beautiful! It has changed my life forever. From now on, I will forget my troubles and be happy, and while I'll acknowledge the mistakes that I've made in my life, I'll continue onward and do the best that I can with what I have. I shall remember this masterpiece forever!

[@Johns-Insights]

this song has helped me get through so many hard times i love this life changing toon

[@CymbalXL]

This is absolutely incredible. I listen to it every day and it never fails to put a smile on my face.

[@velvetcat]

Forget your troubles, come on get happy Diabeetus I've done things I shouldn't do Diabeetus Do the best you can with what you've got Diabeetus And I would encourage all of you Diabeetus

[@Bobert-Rob]

Wow... the best part about this is it actually sounds like a real song. It doesn't repeat lines, it actually sounds like Wilford Brimley went into a recording studio and did a rap about diabetes. I'm so glad there's a long version of this, I saw the shorter version and wanted there to be a full version. Thank you for this.

[@simplicitydown7689]

It's so fucking endearing... I believe this is what is called a pastiche - :Unlike parody, pastiche celebrates, rather than mocks, the work it imitates"

[@R-MD]

So inspirational :')

I am usually not a man to enjoy the type of music that this is replicating, but that was a very enjoyable experience. I myself had a wife that had diabetes type 2. It took her life. If she were to be here and listen to this musical video, I know it would make her smile. You have done a swell job in creating this work of art. Thank you for warming an old man's heart. Also I have to say, that man has one of the most luscious moustaches I have ever laid eyes on. Thank you.

RIP to one of the great meme kings of our time ❤️

[@johnharrison6745]

WONDERFUL.

[@1000Demons]

Actually, this is quite a positive message. People tease him for his pronunciation of diabetes (which is fine, whatever), but the underlying message is quite a positive one.

This rap song is actually inspiring! Thanks Papa Wilford! Thumbs up from RSA!
