" are you the head of the household " *_"NO I'M KING OF THE JUNGLE"_*

An actual conversation between me and my building manager: "Yes, hello. So, there's rainwater seeping through my window." "So?" "...The window is supposed to keep the rain outside, right?"

“Pretty sure I can legally throw a pack of gum at you” Exquisite call-back.

Entering adulthood is like being told what you need to do without being told how to F*CKING DO IT!

I call bullcrap! You wish that half these places would answer the phone even half that fast! Great video though, and very accurate on what it's like when you have to do this stuff for the first time on your own.

Lmao, when you were a kid you wished you were an adult, but then you hit adulthood you realize just how stupid you were as a kid to wish that misery upon yourself.

I’m about to go adult next year and to be honest Zach, you’re not helping me stress less about it.

"oh I don't speak Chinese" The delivery of that line was so perfect lmao

"We literally just stood up, the camera went to black real quick..." Hilarious! Adulting is so fun.

3:29 Ah yes, you can actually throw one pack of gum at 50% power for each coupon he was trying to use, plus one more because he was trying to pay by check, which means 9 in total. And if you limit yourself to 25% power then you're also allowed to pour a can of soda over his head.

I just filed my taxes by myself for the first time and this is pretty accurate looool

2:45 I hate when my boss cuts the camera to black in my trainings!

"Whatever's the cheapest" should never leave your mouth when signing up for an insurance policy Their cheapest options always fall under the category of "Legal, but not covered"

“Do I need life insurance to commit suicide or can I just-“ 🤣

"I got a girlfriend you need her cup size?" Ah this one killed me 😂

So basically if I open a one stop solution for all the problems Zack listed in this video, I am so goddamn sure a lot of people will pay me just to make this seamless and just 1 payment to manage all of it.

Stuff like this is what we should actually be learning in school

I remember my first attempt at adulting. That was the most stressful 8 seconds of my life. I might try it again one day.

That stuff about insurance claims is sooo true. Like, if a wild moose runs through your living room window and bleeds to death on your carpet while kicking your sofa and table to shreds, it's not covered. Why you may ask? It's caused by a wild animal. If was your drunken neighbors, it would have been fine, but wild animals? Nope.

I love the subtle satire of Zack starting "his own business" by calling a "store" that does everything for you (presumably for a fee). If that doesn't encapsulate our attitudes towards life I don't know what does.

Despite some of the questionable things that some of those businesses wanted, the most unrealistic part of the video is that he didn't have to go on hold for 30+ minutes just to get to the person lol

As a Certified Adult with 10 years of experience, I can attest to the fact that video is 100% factual.

"Do I need health insurance to commit suicide or can I just...?" LMAO I ACTUALLY CHOKED ON MY COFFEE

You forgot the part where they don't pay you a living wage and apartments want you to work two full time jobs to even be considered because you have to make "two and a half times rent monthly" which usually means $2500+ if you wanna live alone in a apartment that costs roughly $1,100 a month for a 1 bed 1 bath, depends on the housing market in your area but it can get even more ridiculous than $2,500 a month

A lot of this is "shit that should be taught in school, but isn't."

I’m crying. I can’t tell if I’m laughing too hard or if this is just a reflection of the reality we live in.

*"2/3 Men AND Jada Smith will experience hair loss by the time they're 35 years old"

Is there anyone who thinks that there should be a class in school where they teach you how to do stuff like in the video cause I’m like almost a year into college and I have no idea how to do adult stuff other then applying for fast food jobs, and filling out income taxes.

The insurance doing everything they can to get out isn't even close to reality, it's much much worse than that. I remember my dad tries to make a claim because his water pump died the day after Christmas. Obviously we didn't have water, Progressive told him they'll file a claim but it won't be looked at for around 2 weeks "because it's not an emergency" That and he called to see when his rate was going down because after 10 years and no claims he got "well how much lower do you want it" like my dad's an asshole for trying to get a better rate.

"Are you head of the household?" "No, im king of the jungle, what the FUCK are these questions?"

Seamless transition to the ad! as always! I KNOW! It's like he practices it!

I started laughing and then slowly started realizing how completely unprepared I am for when that time comes.

I thought this was going to be a video about how people who complain about adulting are lazy or whatever but this was a nice surprise. And very relatable.

I started adulting at 18/19. Fast-forward 10 years later and it is routine. It can be a bitch at times but very rewarding 👌 well done Zach spot non

“Yeah, but remember the store motto? Figure it the fuck out?” This fucking got me man lmao

This is actually a really educational video, and all high school students should be required to watch it before graduation.

I'm 38, I own my home and I'm still trying to figure out this adulting crap. 🤣

6:22 It's not burglary when Chad does it.

You know it’s gonna be a good day when we get a new Zach Star video

I'm 20 and I've been dealing with this type of shit for 2 years now, and I still haven't covered much beyond job searching and DES. Why doesn't school teach any of this?

For all of you teens out there worried about adulting in the next year, keep in mind that there are also a lot of programs and kind people out there designed to help you with "adulting"... You're very much not alone.-Uriah Gillespie, 30 year old

If only “the business store” sign had a crossed out “car insurance store” sign next to it lol

This is lowkey kinda scary

I'm about to start adulting in a month and have so much anxiety about these types of things.

I have literally no idea how he made this so funny. I haven't laughed this hard in a long time and then showed it to my dad and we both were laughing super hard by the end of it. Practically a perfect sketch imo. This was amazing

You know you are really adulting when you actually call someone.

The apartment one definitely got me. I remember being just as confused when asked for all those things.

the funny thing is that even after all the hassle its still wayy less stressful than being financially dependent on your parents

I'm moving from an apartment into my first home and being a homeowner is like the second stage of this 😭

I read this first as "Adultery for the first time" and realized how off I was and then realized that "Wait, that might be a great video idea too" lol

But also “Are you head of the household?” “No I’m King of the Jungle” got me real good 🤣

I've been doing this for about 2 years, I've given up on caring about the future and only care about the now. so literally just enjoy the freedom and worry about the problems when they come

"Are you head of the household" "No I'm king of the jungle. what the hell are these questions!?" had me rolling

As a business student, this was simultaneously the funniest and most effective way to revise for my exams today 💀💀💀

I really hate how complicated everything is. It makes it so overwhelming

Moved out completely on my own at 18. This was wayyy too fucking accurate.

I had to pause the video several times I was laughing so hard. God this is accurate.

The fact that they don't teach us half of this crap in high school is an Indictment on our education system. If they required a class on all this plus personal finance before you could graduate our country would be in such a better place.

The protagonist has a superpower of being able to get any type of business by dialing random numbers, and by filling out a “few” “simple” forms I’m sure he could turn that into a great business opportunity.

The fact that I'm able to understand just about all of this perfectly, despite feeling like a lost child half of the time, is a surreal experience.

At this point, I think it would just be easier to live in the middle of nowhere, off the grid, as a hermit.

As someone who worked at geico for 6 months I can 100 percent confirm that is how people talk to you when you work for a car insurance company. If you aren't threatened at least once a day you leave feeling weird and like something terrible is going to happen to make up for it

Pretty funny and serious video. I really liked that “per month” line that you also said a lot in the buying health insurance video.

Zach, I just finished engineering school and started adulting and realized my hair is actually falling. I will take advantage of your advertisement. Your video is spot on brother!

You've mastered comedy and ad placements. Nicely done

I'm old enough now to be like, yup that's what you have to do. But at 20, I was playing pretend as an adult.

No! The customer who wanted to pay with four credit cards! 😆 And coupons! Please, no! Make it stop!!!

You do not know how much I needed this!

For the sake of my sanity, I'll take the bus rather than jumping through all those hoops lol

I'm a grown ass woman but I still listened to that ad break because the segway was flawless 👌

Dude this guy is great. Thank you for this.

The transition music between scenes is as 🔥 as this video. Always bangin

Im 25 years old and this is why i still don't have insurance, a car and still live with my mom.

My dad was smart and slowly eased me into it. By time I was 16 I was paying half of my own expenses and bills. I paid all my own car insurance and saved up to buy my car and phone plan. Then I moved out and got my own apartment at 18.

That was so good, rarely do comedy skits on youtube make me laugh like you did Zach, you are extremely good, thank you

I've seen a lot of your content, this is probably my fave

I've been an adult for nearly 15 years and still struggle to understand half of this, lol. Only just moved out from a private landlord to a regular apartment last year and had to get renters insurance (and yes, they want me to bundle it with my car insurance 😂). My car insurance is up for renewal so they called me to try to lure me over. Thing is, they're offering the same rate or a little higher than what I currently pay. I like the two bills being separate so I can ensure I pay them on time. If bundled, that's more money I have to pay at once. I also love how they real ass have add-ons you have to specifically mention for "acts of god", or things lost due to weather. Often times, flood insurance ends up being something way more expensive on its own, so if you own a house, for example, you must specify with your home insurance that you want flood insurance. The regular insurance might cover for the fire, burglars, a tornado, anything else. But any flood damage or water damage? Nah. Health insurance is also where I get confused but I just look at it as, I get sick rarely, but freak incidents can happen, like needing a blood transfusion a few years ago. So, I go with the middle plan offered. Not the lowest, not the highest, nothing with an HSA as I'm not likely to need one (I mean, I might, but I'll roll the dice on that). And retirement plans are hard to understand. Right now, I'm just going to get my workplace's 401K since their contribution rate is alright with matching 50% of your contribution up to 6% of your paycheck (which, between insurance and eventually buying company stock at a discount, 6% is about all I'd probably want to contribute each paycheck). Great video, it's definitely treacherous those first few years to get your bearings, lol.

Wow! I was eating breakfast and when you said the trash joke about your Ex, I almost choked from bursting out laughing. I was not expecting that less than 30 secs into the video! lmao Anyway, thankfully I didn't die, so keep up the good work! :D

You are hilarious man, I just started watching you yesterday at work on break and I couldn’t stop laughing. Keep it up, the videos are comedy gold!

The comic timing of the back and forth cuts and verbal "double takes" is incredible.

"Spontaneous ads are part of being an adult, Zach" 🤣🤣🤣

3:12 Ugh Ti-84? Imagine not using a TI-89 *Titanium* (If you couldn't tell I'm being sarcastic)

Been an adult for 10 years, some of these words are STILL intimidating.

Hahaha love it. Keep pumping out gold

Imagine if schools actually taught us stuff like this

I'm about to live on my own in 1 month. So thank you for making this😂😂😂

This was so perfect!

I literally had to pause this video four separate times because I was laughing too hard. So glad I found your channel, Zach!

0:11 Write that down *WRITE THAT DOWN!!*

Friendly reminder that insurance companies make things confusing on purpose so you get worn down and just agree to whatever. It's not your fault, it's theirs. Also, the health insurance industry should be rendered obsolete lmao

OMG, this is so spot on and accurate!! :-D

Integration of the add….omg 😂. Two vids in, I’m a subscriber! Fukkin hilarious

I love the callback to it being legal to catapult a pack of gum at someone's face

I’m…looking forward to adulthood even less than I already was. Thank you

I like how the "getting a pay check" section was also the advertisement lmao

THIS is the modern BIG reboot movie that we need.

Love the callback to the legality of throwing stuff at people who use a check to pay for stuff.

This guy is seriously underrated! A joke in every sentence, that's better than most comedians these days

😂😂😂😂 Zach you are literally killing me of these videos 🤣🤣🤣 I love these videos so much

I just love this channel
