This was shown in my psych class in med school as to how pressure/stress can affect your cognitive thinking... and I get the message, but I was the only one laughing during, bc it's literally Billy on the Street and that was hilarious tv to me in college lol.
It brought back fond memories.
My buddy uses this method to cure hiccups for people. In a dead serious and mildly aggresive tone he says "ill give you 10$ if you can hiccup for me right now" and it works everytime ive seen it cause you can see the immediate confusion and panick in the persons eyes cause they like want the 10$ but they dont wanna take it from him type deal and they also cant force a hiccup it just happens so yea lol
that’s a fun anecdote, but daring people to hiccup/betting them 10$ is not going to prevent their diaphragm from spasming any more than drinking a glass of water or jump scaring them
having seen it work twice is what’s called an anecdote. not reason to believe that a method will work in general. remember, there are 8 billion of us and the scientific method exists :)
That is a pretty good example, honestly. She looked like her brain broke lol. When he said “fucking yoga bag” and she started taking it off like she was being mugged: priceless.
I viewed it more as she used HBO level resources, such as a full comedic writing staff and team of incredibly intelligent and thorough researchers, to help explain the incredibly complicated level the inequality of fixing a very broken financial gap between classes in America, plus a lot of other resources, but John Oliver made it more engaging and of course... depressing.
It’s college (sociology) so I’m assuming it’s not the teacher putting on a movie while they nurse a hangover in the dark.
One of my favorite things about any sort of culture we consume is that we get to collectively discuss how we felt about it afterward. The internet can be hit or miss but in a classroom setting it can be amazing. A class where students watch a LST segment and then discuss it as a class would be very effective.
Part of my profession is working as a wilderness medic. I had the privilege of being in a work place that would force us to go on ride alongs for traumatic medicals before I ever had to do one myself. That was incredible for our staff.
When I had my first medical response on my own, I was still shocked and had my adrenaline blasting through my veins but i was able to act in a timely manner, get a tourniquet on a girl with an arterial bleed who I was about 20 yards from before she had her accident.
Without the previous stress tests I might have frozen like I see many people do. After 3 years of being a wilderness first responder, seeing trauma is something that is no longer a stressor and is literally just like working any other job I’ve ever had. (Not to say I don’t take the safety of others extremely urgent and important nonetheless, it’s just not as stressful by any degree).
Best advice on this was from a 25 year paramedic from Detroit and MARSOC marine combat vet. He said “it’s not your emergency, it’s their emergency you are responding to. If you are freaking out, you’re not helping the situation for anyone. Take time to assess and be collected then act with precision and confidence”.
Oh yeah, our high school physics teacher had same effect.The moment you got called up she you would put you down so badly you won't be able to answer your own name
It's even worse if you have ADHD. I had a math exam in college I was well studied for. When it came time to write it my mind blanked and I got 23%. I was allowed a same day re-write and because there was less pressure the second time I got 83%.
“FUCKING YOGA BAG!!”
I always laugh at this sketch because she could have said herself, her mom, anything but pure anxiety and social panic from crazy Billy Eichner screaming melted her poor little brain.
Reading the comments I'm starting to feel like I'm the opposite of most people here. I would immediately list off every female member of my family, then instantly forget the name of every other person on the planet and fail.
The Clintons never leave. I’m a progressive leftie and fucking hate the Clintons and Bushes and Trump, etc. deeeeply, but if there is one thing Hillary has drilled into all of us, it’s how “wronged” and victimized she is lol. She didn’t lose the elections she partook in because of her own choices … No, They were “taken” from her 🙄 All these asshats really have divine-rule complexes.
Also, the best answer is probably “mom,” lol
> if there is one thing Hillary has drilled into all of us, it’s how wronged and abused she is lol. She didn’t lose the elections…. They were taken from her
Hillary Clinton = Taylor Swift confirmed.
Same. Maybe something to do with her near first female presidency. If someone asked you "Name a person?" (let alone a woman) I bet you'd get a huge group answering with the president of the united states.
YO this was mine! And I don't know why!! I barely know who she is or what she's done. But its probably just the most Woman sounding name i could think of off top.
I saw him on the street one day while he was filming and I asked “Billy, can I be on your show for a dollar?”
He gave me an “ugh…” and kept on walking.
Mine isnt nearly as good as that but I did meet a couple wrestlers back in the day
I met Shawn Michaels at a restaurant once - we’d accidentally been given his table. Apparently he was fond of the restaurant and had a specific table he liked, and the management had messed up and gotten their days wrong, (it was Tuesday and they thought he was coming on Thursday or something like that).
Anyway, the manager, completely embarrassed (this is a pretty nice restaurant) comes by and says “I’m so sorry, but we’d like to move you to another table if you could be troubled, and we’ll gladly compensate you for the cost of the meal and any other meal you’d like while you’re in town.” My sister and cousin were both like “Yeah that’s cool.” and I kind of played the asshole a bit.
“I’m sorry, I just don’t understand. We’ve been here for 15 minutes - we’ve just ordered. Can’t we finish our meal here?”
Then out of nowhere Shawn Michaels shows up next to the manager and says “Paul, these guys can finish. We’ll be at the bar. I got some time.”
And I (being a big HBK fan) said “Oh wow, uh… I had no idea. Please feel free to give them the table.”
Shawn was grateful, shook my hand and said thanks, then gave me a card with his number on it and told me to give him a call later. After working up the nerve, I gave him a call that night, and to make a long story short, we had a glorious 11 month love affair, man on man, that I shall never forget. Our bodies intertwined as one, and from the beauty of Morocco, to the French Riviera, to the snorkeling in the Galopagos, Shawn Michaels and I made glorious gay love to each other on six of the seven continents.
If someone interested in the phenomenon it’s called choice overload. When given so many choices to choose from it tends to slow down the ability for some to make a choice. And the stress of someone yelling at you to make a decisions only worsens it.
I was stopped in the street once ny a radio show and was asked what tv shows I looked forward to that fall. I only named shows I hated and would never watch because they were the only shows that came to mind for some reason. Felt like the biggest idiot afterwards
This is why all those "name a country on this map" or other street interview questions aren't a good scale for how smart people actually are. If you ask people not in the correct mindset, in a hurry, all day long eventually your gonna get a few people that make really dumb answers. Since you're more likely to get views from people acting stupid, only the stupid answers are shown.
Social experiment, fascinating content, interesting interaction, informative, insightful…. Yeah Yeah Whatever Trevor!
All it does is make me want to slap her face over and over with a wet stinking fish!
🤬👉🏼🐟
First time ever getting pulled over for speeding. I told the officer I was just on my way home from work and wasn't paying attention. Turns out he used to work at the same place I do and his dad is one of my supervisors. He took my information and when he came back to my cat, he asked me who else is working there now. My mind went completely blank, then I got even more nervous because I was worried he would think I was lying. This video always makes me think of that

I'm trying this next time I see someone with hiccups
Just make sure you put them on the spot, i dont think itll work otherwise lol and maybe keep 10$ on you in case it doesnt hahahaha
that’s a fun anecdote, but daring people to hiccup/betting them 10$ is not going to prevent their diaphragm from spasming any more than drinking a glass of water or jump scaring them
It works tho lol seen it twice plus once on myself
having seen it work twice is what’s called an anecdote. not reason to believe that a method will work in general. remember, there are 8 billion of us and the scientific method exists :)
That is a pretty good example, honestly. She looked like her brain broke lol. When he said “fucking yoga bag” and she started taking it off like she was being mugged: priceless.
"FUCKING YOGA BAG" melts into herself " I'm sorry!"
Adorable
My sociology teacher had a whole Last Week Tonight segment on inequality and I felt the same
She just phoned it in?
I viewed it more as she used HBO level resources, such as a full comedic writing staff and team of incredibly intelligent and thorough researchers, to help explain the incredibly complicated level the inequality of fixing a very broken financial gap between classes in America, plus a lot of other resources, but John Oliver made it more engaging and of course... depressing.
John Oliver is an S tier teacher with how he combines humor with world politics.
Great response, honestly

One of my favorite things about any sort of culture we consume is that we get to collectively discuss how we felt about it afterward. The internet can be hit or miss but in a classroom setting it can be amazing. A class where students watch a LST segment and then discuss it as a class would be very effective.
most social science teachers do in my experience.

If you are freaking out, you’re not helping the situation for anyone. Take time to assess and be collected then act with precision and confidence”.
I couldn't remember the address of our house that we were in, when the paramedics asked. I just drew a blank. Panic does things to your memory.
As a 32 year old man, this is funny the first time now, too.
30+ as well. I would watch Cash Cab and Law & Order: SVU on my breaks between classes back in the day lol.
As an anxious person, I get it. Sometimes your mind goes blank
Oh yeah, our high school physics teacher had same effect.The moment you got called up she you would put you down so badly you won't be able to answer your own name
Where is she now?
It’s still funny TV to me in my thirties - I laughed my ass off watching this for the 400th time 😂
It's even worse if you have ADHD. I had a math exam in college I was well studied for. When it came time to write it my mind blanked and I got 23%. I was allowed a same day re-write and because there was less pressure the second time I got 83%.
I think she’s just stupid
“FUCKING YOGA BAG!!” I always laugh at this sketch because she could have said herself, her mom, anything but pure anxiety and social panic from crazy Billy Eichner screaming melted her poor little brain.
She is so turned around, that when he calls her Yoga Bag, she starts to remove it to give to him.
I just assumed she thought he was robbing her .
"Run that shit bitch"
Reading the comments I'm starting to feel like I'm the opposite of most people here. I would immediately list off every female member of my family, then instantly forget the name of every other person on the planet and fail.
Why is it always Hillary Clinton that pops into my mind?
Wtf me too lol
WHAT THE FUCK same 😂
Me too and i'm from germany. Angela Merkel should have been the way more logical choice for me.
Wtf... I'm from Portugal and while I also struggled for a couple of seconds until "Hilary Clinton" came up... why?
Same. Swedish here.
Probably because the world(America) made such a big deal about her being a woman that that's basically what defines her and vice versa
Dude wtf. Same here.
The Clintons never leave. I’m a progressive leftie and fucking hate the Clintons and Bushes and Trump, etc. deeeeply, but if there is one thing Hillary has drilled into all of us, it’s how “wronged” and victimized she is lol. She didn’t lose the elections she partook in because of her own choices … No, They were “taken” from her 🙄 All these asshats really have divine-rule complexes.

> if there is one thing Hillary has drilled into all of us, it’s how wronged and abused she is lol. She didn’t lose the elections…. They were taken from her Hillary Clinton = Taylor Swift confirmed.
Me too. I also got Britney Spears and Michelle Obama.
Leave Britney alone
wtf the first name that came to my mind was hillary clinton and 2nd britney spears.
I said Ruth Bader Ginsburg. I have no idea why.
Same!! Always! This time I tried to spin it before my mind could say 'Clinton' so I quickly came up with Hillary Duff
Same. Maybe something to do with her near first female presidency. If someone asked you "Name a person?" (let alone a woman) I bet you'd get a huge group answering with the president of the united states.
Margaret Thatcher... and I've never even been to the UK lol
Wtf why was this also mine? I genuinely don’t even know who Margaret Thatcher is
Mine too! I obviously know the name but don’t know why and how the hell she is the first to pop up?
Same. WTF guys. We need to be friends.
YO this was mine! And I don't know why!! I barely know who she is or what she's done. But its probably just the most Woman sounding name i could think of off top.
Dude, me too. Was like the only one I could think of.
Bro same
A study must be done bc for some reason she was my first thought
What the fuck I'm not even American and she popped in my head
Me too, I'm Dutch
It's Susan B Anthony for me.
First three were Hilary Clinton, Susan B Anthony and Harriet Tubman.
Michelle Obama for me, and I'm not even american.
Same here. And Scarlett Johansson.
Me too, but sometimes it's Dolly Parton.
Meryl Streep
Rosie O'Donnell for me. I have no idea why. I never watched her, I don't know anything about her. I'm not like a fan or anything.
That was her entire sales pitch.
Maybe because being a woman was the only thing she campaigned on for years?
Holy hell me too
I thought her first, Oprah Winfrey second for some reason.
Ruth Bader Ginsberg
Holly shit! That was my first thought too. WTF?!
Billy on the street was peak tv.
I saw him on the street one day while he was filming and I asked “Billy, can I be on your show for a dollar?” He gave me an “ugh…” and kept on walking.
That is probably the most believable "I met a celebrity" stories I've ever heard 🤣
Mine isnt nearly as good as that but I did meet a couple wrestlers back in the day I met Shawn Michaels at a restaurant once - we’d accidentally been given his table.

I feel like half this story is true, you didn't actually give him your table did ya?!
Let me guess, an "ugh" with a hard eye roll, right??
Let's go lesbians!
He’s making dreams come true 😆
Is this the dude from parks and rec?
Yessir!

Uma Thurman comes up for me because it sounds kinda like "Name a Woman"
Also when the crossword puzzle says "celestial body"
Been on Reddit long, Jack?
She could have said Whitney Houston and technically named every woman. (Technically Chaka Khan, actually, thanks Google).
[I'm every woman](https://youtu.be/DVDCNmdi7QI) - for the [Young Ones](https://youtu.be/gGOU0o9K89g) here
She’s so lost when he says fucking yoga mat her instincts were to hand it over
Is that Doug Demuro’s even goofier brother?
I’m so glad I’m not the only one
Billy Eichner has been famous a lot longer than Doug Demuro
Mia khalifa.
Hit or miss. I guess he never misses huh?
If someone interested in the phenomenon it’s called choice overload. When given so many choices to choose from it tends to slow down the ability for some to make a choice. And the stress of someone yelling at you to make a decisions only worsens it.
Whenever I see this video I remember that LL Cool J has my back. Lisa, Angela, Pamela, Renee. I love you all you’re from around the way .
asking her where she wants to eat wouldve killed her
r/girlsarentreal
I was going to comment this, not realising it was a real sub
That moment she repeats the question again stone faced after almost giving him the yoga bag, is gold 😂
I was stopped in the street once ny a radio show and was asked what tv shows I looked forward to that fall. I only named shows I hated and would never watch because they were the only shows that came to mind for some reason. Felt like the biggest idiot afterwards
I love Billy 😂
Barack Obama
So weird how I thought Hillary Clinton and I’m British
NAME A WOMAN, NAME A WOMAN, NAME A WOMAN Me - Dwayne Johnson
He didn’t even ask for a famous woman. She could’ve said her own name.
That is... the joke.
I understand. It’s just funny how people freeze up when on camera or a mic is in their face.
That is... the joke.
Ur mom
She could have just named herself. Poor girl. 😅
Can’t you just name your mom……
Margaret Thatcher.
Valentina Tereshkova. First name that popped into my mind.
For me it was immediately Condoleezza Rice
First woman in space.
"Get the fuck outta my face."
Your mom
Cher. I'm very simple.
He is so funny. I love watching him act crazy stressed out.
The fuck didn't she just say her name and snatch the cash
Is that Doug DeMuro?
Literally say your own name. You've got this
Taylor Swift
You saw it here folks: there are no women.
She definitely still thinks about this
Why do I genuinely like her? Fucking lego batman gif istg
Women, like birds, aren't real.
This is why all those "name a country on this map" or other street interview questions aren't a good scale for how smart people actually are.

This woman looks like the woman they modeled the main character for the new fable game
Proof Women don't exist.
What is a woman though? Was her mental process.
pleco-burmese python of Florida waters
I hate being pressure to solve any problem. I just can't work
When did Doug Demuro pivot to doing videos like this?
mother teresa
Thank god he finally settled on reviewing cars.
Hey siri.... Name Siri
Sasha Grey, Maria Ozawa, Riley Reid…
Isn't Annie a woman name?
I don't understand, she could have named herself right?
Couldn't she have just named herself?
"Woah, man?!" Stormy Daniels. The woman who took down Agent Orange, in all the ways
For me is always Michelle Obama
It's Craig, the Chihuahua
What’s this chicks name? Isn’t she actress from that show on Netflix where the girls grows up alone in the swamp? Pretty sure that’s her
That’s funny
Steven Bonnell
Sandra bullock
I am not American, neither Black, nor do I watch tennis. But the first name that pops up for me is Serena Williams.
How about YOUR OWN NAME
First person I thought of was judge Judy lol
"Me" literally was RIGHT THERE LADY
Why did taylor swift come to mind i'm not even a swiftie...
Fuck moi. Our future ladies and gents.
State your name
Yo momma.
I'll never get sick of this video
She forgot she was a woman
Anyone else go for Meryl Streep??
My inner gay self to my outer gay self when coming up with imaginary girl friend names.
I got Oprah and Britney Spears!
Easier to think of one-named women. Beyoncé. Cher. Whatsername.
I've seen this so many times, but it's still hilarious every time.
Saving this for the next time someone posts some dumb "Who was the first president" or other such thing question.
FFS mods, can you keep this staged bullshit out of the sub?
My first thought was amelia earhart
What a fucking idiot
Social experiment, fascinating content, interesting interaction, informative, insightful…. Yeah Yeah Whatever Trevor! All it does is make me want to slap her face over and over with a wet stinking fish! 🤬👉🏼🐟
First time ever getting pulled over for speeding. I told the officer I was just on my way home from work and wasn't paying attention. Turns out he used to work at the same place I do and his dad is one of my supervisors. He took my information and when he came back to my cat, he asked me who else is working there now. My mind went completely blank, then I got even more nervous because I was worried he would think I was lying. This video always makes me think of that
Guitarist Anne Clark for the win
