NTA, your house fire, your rules.

I think the weirdest thing about the 9 year ols punishment is how crowdsourced it is. Could you imagine going to a house on halloween to be met with a 9 year old bawling and begging you not to take his candy while his mother demands you do? It would make me super uncomfortable and part of a moral situation I never needed to be a part of.

"Give away the chicken fingers on the porch!" This whole bit is gold

There should be a special thing where some of NL's friends join him in this and they banter and argue. Call it React Council.

The trilogy: "It's literally *3* dollars!" "It's like, *3* minutes." "He's [ *3×3* ] years old!"

“Have you ever been nine?” That pretty much perfectly sums up how I feel about the Halloween story

"He's 9 years old, he should know how his greed affects others" Personally I was 10 when visited by 3 ghosts of christmas spirit, but hey, might be a regional thing

12 hrs later and i finally realized that the person who cut the video when his fire alarm went off was Northernlion himself lmao I was so confused

The 9 year old should have learn the philosophical and political concepts of communism and sharing with others. He should have known his greed would harm others for his own benefit. He knew he would get all the candy and cause a severe candy shortage which would make him a monopoly.

In my head, I envision every single person in these AITA stories to be bald. Even the kids.

Ryan admitted to biological warfare at 9 years old XD

INFO: Was there really a fire, and is there a second part to this video?

I hate antique stores that perch expensive ass items up where they can fall and break. If its worth 4K, treat it like its worth 4K and put it in a case!

The short story about kid NL throwing an orange at a friend's head full force... I can't stop laughing 25:55

AITA for throwing an old moldy tangerine at my best friends face when he was asleep?

I just started the video and we're already talking about child abandonment. This episode is gonna be good.

literally the greatest nl series

I feel like AITA should be a scale, like the acid/base scale, rather than a binary yes/no. That way, if you're a LITTLE bit the asshole for making your kid give out candy, you get like -2, but if you're suing a customer for money they don't have when they already wanted to pay for the damages, you get -7.

I will never get over nl roasting the common redditor

While I understand that sometimes children are rude, it never ceases to amaze me how many people are willing to assume full adult reasoning capability in children when making judgment calls about them

NL has his I Think You Should Leave sketch voice down perfectly

Can never go wrong with react court

I’m so twisted, the tricky grandma from Hereditary, is just a regular grandma to me.

“Don’t care + didn’t ask + you’re named like a super auto pets team” Lmaoooo experimentalist teapot has to retire from the Internet now

you gotta remember that reddit absolutely hates kids, so any post involving a kid is going to have the most bonkers takes

My fiance and i are both studying at university at the moment and only get to see each other when we head home for the weekend, i save these videos for the weekend so i can watch them with her and she saves any good ticktoks she finds through the week. Thank you for the pogged content, react court has become a very important part of our routine.

I used to have a condition that caused my hands to jerk uncontrollably. It was the worst right around puberty.

... the cousin is 22, she gave the kids away a few years ago (seemingly as a teenager?) and under parental pressure?? Like, jesus, that is not a mark of shame or "failure as a mother". Bringing it up is an act of just unbelievable cruelty.

Re: the Halloween kid, I think they are the asshole, not because they shouldn't have made the kid give the candy away (kind of based honestly), but because it was weirdly public. Like, the kid was probably sitting on the porch wailing about wanting to keep their candy in front of everyone who came up. It's a little close to public shaming. Plus, imagine all those kids and parents who just want to have a nice Halloween, and now it's all uncomfortable because they have to steal it from a crying child.

"This sounds like an I Think You Should Leave sketch" had me LMAOing 🤣

Ph thank god I though react court was done. It’s my favorite segment in a while. Always watch these from start to finish.

"give away the chiken fingers on the porch" I am dying here.

This comment goes out to the react court doubters. NL has to wait for good posts to come so he cant spam these videos Edit: NOOO I was getting so invested in the MIL plus one post, its so good

Just found this guy... got strong bill burr vibe but I don't know why. I'm subbed.

Antique Road show poster described how this girl was touching the vase for someone that was “no longer paying her any attention.” Edit: Also, “she didn’t have the money to pay for the vases.. I want to sue her for the money for the vases.” And what money is she gonna pay you with then? The money she still doesn’t have?

Ah, my weekly reminder of how much reddit hates children.

As a 37 year old, your bit about that being the limit for relating to younger people killed me. +2

I respect that you had to leave in a hurry, anyone that expected you to hang around would be insane. I really hope we get a part 2 as that last story was getting good.

the halloween one gave me strong bean dad vibes from the comments LMAO

ESH you're not taking the feelings of the viewers and the house fire into account but your house your rules king

25:55 for a real pog moment

Literally, "Okay we're done," is enough, *maybe* hold off digging into the candy until the next day. Making him give out his own candy is just gilding the lilly

AITA for not licking the lid when opening a yogurt package?

On the topic of the person from Michigan who can't tie their shoes: With a “weak man,” you don’t actually fabricate a position, but rather pick the weakest of the arguments actually offered up by people on the other side and treat it as the best or only one they have. So they picked the worst comments as examples of opinions in the thread instead of an average comment.

24:25; NL saying, completely deadpan, "I'm like fucking dying over here" killed me 🤣

antique vase person seems like they should have insurance to cover customer accidents

LMAO for a second after the video ended I was like "where was the AITA post about the fire alar-.. OH"

One of the best endings to a video as of late.

Congrats on 900K NL !! Proud of ya, 1 mil soon !

Each of these stories lends credence to the one crazy person we met out there and said, "How'd they get like that?"

"oh no, he doesn't get candy except he will later, what a sever punishment, not taking his candy, how cruel, not having any candy for a while and then be given candy later, what is this guantanamo?!"

"Stealing without asking is borrowing if you say you'll pay it back if confronted, if it's 3 dollars. 3000 dollars, no, 3 dollars yes. And it's only 3 dollars, but it's not only 3 dollars when you suggest they go without, no, they HAVE to *borrow* it now!"

I about pissed myself laughing at the tangerine projectile story.

That vase dude is probably the dude from Hotel Hell with his hotel full of antique crap that was not worth the shelves it was sitting on. It totaly fits.

Dishes in the back. Yeah, I don’t know if it’s real because you’re not technically an employee so if you get injured during those 2-3 hours the restaurant is liable. I think it’s more of a scare tactic

Pivoting from that insane antiques post was absolutely fair and valid and I believe the video is better for it.

24:22 I’m not a parent, but I was a child. When you punish your child and they don’t understand why, it just looks like you’re hurting them to be spiteful. There’s no way a 9 year old kid is able to parse in his brain the sociological consequences of being greedy, and taking away all of his candy and handing it out certainly isn’t going to help him do so. In fact, it’ll just shut off all reasoning in his brain and all he’ll feel is rage and sadness over his mother giving away his candy. That’s not how you teach a lesson to a 9 year old. Also, there’s only so much of that lesson that CAN be taught until his brain is developed enough to understand it more. Like. The whole comment section on that post is making me squirm. Why do people feel the need to be so fucking mean to their kids, and why does everyone think it’s okay?

His face at the blue spores part lmao "Lets go"

Small note about which nobody asked - insurance doesn’t protect the customer usually just the business. So after the store was paid out they could go after the lady for the value of the vase.

Bepis

That parent is like the ghost of Halloween present.

Is no one going to talk about that ending? lol

Love the large egg cam

NTA NL could never be since I laugh so hard at every one of his videos

Am I crazy for agreeing with the mother on the Halloween one . I feel like that is one of those punishments that sticks with you into adulthood which is good for learning a lesson .

Sounds like the video ends with a clicker breaking into his house

Isaac, SAP, React, Crosswords is almost a perfect lineup. I’m just really missing Geoguessr.

YTA, his candy his rules

It’s crazy that the Halloween story didn’t get a YTA. Keep his candy for a few days. Give him a talk. He’ll be fine. That kinda punishment was too far. Public humiliation for a 9 year old is a little much

The King Solomon approach would be that we just agree that React Court's demise was about half exaggerated and the other half was probably real

What the heck was that ending? Now I need to hunt down the VOD..M

What a cliffhanger of an ending

YTA, you ever think about if the fire wanted to catch some react court live?

I through a tantrum at my 8th birthday. my grandma had bought me a Rower Ranger action figure, but it was one of the badguys. as punishment my birthday celebration was canceled, my cake was taken away and all my birthday gifts from family were taken back. i never got those gifts back and even at 8 it taught me a lesson that made me a better person.

A 9 year old is just a larger 5 or 6 year old. The only thing the kid "learned" that night was that his mom was mean to him and ruined halloween. Kids that age are all about "fairness" but extremely slanted towards "fair to me". That's not something you can learn on the spot either, some kids are naturally more empathetic, but that's not the norm. If the 9 year old had seen other kids take more han two, either that year or past years, fair for him would be to do so as well. Punishing him like that on a big night he has been looking forward to will only have negative consequences. What the mom should have done is to have that talk well before and just prior to trick or treating, about what the rules are and what is and isn't fair. She should not be talking about good parenting or consequences when she had failed from the very start by not priming a litteral child about what is expected of him before doling out punishment as if she caught him pulling legs off a spider. Ending the night prematurely is fine and acceptable punishment for him acting out. But only if the kid got a warning that the night would end if he didn't apologize for his outburst and promised to behave. Leave it to reddit to actually believe that having a 9 year old give away candy on halloween is the only thing preventing the kid from becoming that trad that bullied them for being in the anime club at school.

YTA reaction to fire alarm = content

NL's take on the Halloween was so right I can't even properly express it

Video cutting out in the middle of a post, YTA.

In reference to the 9yr old, bc my kids aren't far at all from that age (I have a 16 and 11yr old, the 11yr old has always been the one that defied rules the most); the mom went too far. I would have ended Halloween early and they could get their candy the next day. End Halloween early for being rude, and holding the candy a day for being greedy and taking too much candy. Reddit always thinks kids should be able to logically approach every situation like a 30yr old, it's very weird. 9yr olds is when real world consequences are actually becoming apparent, like outside of the family bubble. The kid knows he shouldn't have been rude, yes, but he doesn't understand how greed effects others. Sheesh.

I don’t think that cousin wants to take responsibility

Yes I started listening to these on my drive to work and the drive back I’ve been craving more react court

re: the antique store: who the hell has tippy-toe-height shelves in a shop full of old-ass shit that shatters when you drop it from any sort of height? and not only has those shelves, but puts the very expensive, very fragile things on top of them? that shit just sounds like a gotcha, "you broke it and now you're in debt" scam. idk if that's fraud or something, but shady asf.

Halloween mom taught the kid about the social contract early. Kid’s lucky they got that lesson early.

It felt like NL was talking directly to me at 4:14 and it really threw me off kilter, so much so that I honestly thought I was dreaming. I just wasn't vibing with civil engineering at the time, okay...

Then NL fell down some stairs in his mind and the video ended.

Handling a vase with hands that sometimes twitch, but not right now = Handling a vase with vaseline covered hands? Okay, what's the equivalent of handling the vase while the hands are actively warning you that they're about to twitch? Because I think *that's* handling the vase with vaseline covered hands.

I'm so stupid, I spent like 5 minutes trying to find the story that he described in the videos title

The title is juicy LMFAO

18:55 What kid isn't gonna take away the lesson that it's a dog eat dog world and his parents will punish him arbitrarily? The other kids do the same to him in his perception.

We need more please

Court is in session bois

Its only the screaming no thing... the candy okay kids do be kids. But you don't get it yet Ryan. You will.

no need for that personal attack about my English degree

Yo just got in a huge blow out fight with someone close and this really helped brighten my mood and day.

YTA you robbed us of Grade A content

Holy crap what a cliffhanger!

6:09 BRO I feel called out

I love the way this video ended

The cost of a damaged item seldom outweighs the cost of losing customers

Love me some react court
