Man, if there isn't one of EVERYTHING on YouTube, I don't know....

: Snakes on a Homebirth

Weird, but funny. Some mild explicit words.

 

[MamaJame]

All I can say to that video is WOW. That'll convince my dh that it's okay to homebirth!

 

[OMama]

I'm sorry but that really cracked me up. Not sure why I thought it was so funny. I had to share it with DH too. He likes random s*** like that. Thanks!

 

[mother culture]

I was kinda believing that and have actually known looser men like that ( not the snakes part) I think I might be a bit gullible!

I thought that part was awesome. Nice and subtle.

I like it too when the hubby/partner says if you wanted a cervical check you should have gone to the hospital. For some reason, my pregnant brain thinks its so funny.

 

[APMomOfKimmyN-Maya]

i think it's hilarious.

Yeah, I forgot that line! It was great!!

 

[Bartock]

Sorry, but that was just stupid, I so don't get it's point, and was that a beer she was drinking?

 

[bullfrog]

I think it's meant to 'look' like a beer.

 

[kalisis]

Yeah, I don't know - just seems too out there for me.

But, I'm glad some other people got a laugh out of it.

And y/k - it really should be called Snakes on a UC, since she didn't want a midwife there either.

Very funny. The bear and cigarettes were comentary on people who go to the hospital "because they are worried about baby" and then do stupid other crap I think.

I think the whole thing was supposed to be a spoof on the rediculous or irrational fears people have of homebirth.

That was very, very odd, and very, very funny.

Also obviously a spoof of the upcoming film called, I kid you not, "Snakes on a Plane". Starring Samuel L. Jackson.

But isn't it still a homebirth b/c I'm not seeing the difference...Not to be a trouble maker

---I just don't see the distinction in this instance. Snakes on a UC doesn't really have the same parallel to the movie I suppose

 

[Arwyn]

A homebirth is a birth that takes place at home, no matter who it is, or isn't, attended by.

 

[georgia]

Yeah, that's what I'd always thought

Whatever the terminology used, just no snakes in my tub, please!

That's what I thought. Not quite my kind of humor but it was kinda funny.

 

[flyingspaghettimama]

It coulda been funnier (i.e. maybe snakes showing up randomly throughout the filming, unbeknownst to the couple). But I really liked the ending.

 

[MamaAllNatural]

Sorry for the delayed response. I just now saw this and thought it was funny! OMG. Especially the ending. "Get these Mother F_________ snakes off of my Mother F_______ homebirth!"

: and when the snakes are falling on her "SEE! I told you we should've gone to the hospital!"

: Too funny! A bit odd, yes. It was really funny though and completely making fun of people's irrational fears about homebirth. I love it. I wish we could find out about their actual homebirth. They are a funny couple. The whole thing was just...funny.

 

[JanetF]

Well I laughed a LOT!
