I was on the edge of my seat wondering where this was going and then ... brilliant! The shampoo and conditioner line was the icing on the cake.

Not gunna lie, you had me on the first half haha

I was racking my brain trying to figure out what "climbed up my hair" was a euphemism for. 😂

Now that you've vacated the tower, will Craig be giving tours of it?

Honestly, it's just good to see her letting her hair down for once.

😂Poor Rapunzel! I loved that "Guess who climbed up my hair today?" She needs to go to Costco and buy in bulk.🤣 🙌

People in "fairy tales" really had it rough. Cinderella's sisters cut off their toes to get into the glass slipper (that was originally made of fur). A poor lady was burned to death by those juvenile delinquents Hansel and Gretel. And now, we get the truth about Rapunzel. The fairy tale world is a terrible place.

Combing through early memories can be tough. But it's good to see that you are untangling those feelings! Well done, thank you for the laughs.

Uhg, parents can be so difficult. My father was similar. Very imperious alpha male type. He was always putting heavy restrictions on me and kept an iron grip on the family and my mom. One small step and he would come down on us hard. He had a huge pride that could be slighted at the smallest provocation and we had to walk on eggshells contantly. SHOUTING was his preferred mode of communicating anything and it was his way or the highway. In fact, he shouted so often, you could say it was a roar. Then my Uncle killed him and I had to go into hiding becuase they were both cut from the same cloth but my Uncle saw me as a potential threat so he gaslighted me into running away. Fortunately, he died from a tragic hyena related mishap.

I'm glad she chose the American accent, or I would have seriously believed for the first 45 seconds or so that something really bad had truly happened. The earnesty was that good.

I'm Norwegian, and though my understanding of English is starting to become pretty good, I once in the while come across an expression I've never heard before. I was very close to googleing "guess who was climbing up my hair" just then. 😂

God damn I was 90% convinced this wasn't a joke by the time of the punchline. Absolutely legendary delivery.

I love how we don’t notice that your hair is intentionally in a braid until you reveal who you are. 😂

Wow. You got me good. At first I thought you were sharing something very deep and serious with us. More fairy tale interpretations please! ❤❤❤

Thank you for opening up and sharing this, I hope this encourages more people to confront their demons.

You have a very rare and wonderful comedic talent, Eleanor! Thank you!

I swear revenge, for this bit. You had me going even after "Guess who climbed up my hair today". I only realise the diabolic depths of your comedy when you said Rapunzel.

You nailed that. Spot on. Rappie and mum, long hair and all. I fell for the first half, just wanted to hug you better. Then, it was like the beanstalk falling, and I guffawed, LOUDLY. I love it. Watched it twice.

Brilliant as usual. Was wondering where it was going and loved the twist. :)

This is fantastic. You had me going for a second. Thanks.

Good for you, now you can let your hair down

She had me COMPLETELY hoodwinked for the entire first half! Eleanor Morton is BRILLIANT!

You almost had me except for the American accent, so I did wait for the other shoe to drop. Very funny my dear, bravo!!

I was hooked until the climbing up my hair thing. It kinda sounded like my marriage for a while… Bravo, Eleanor, bravo!

I figured where this was going when you talked about being isolated, just you and mother... but it was still very well done. That last line is brilliant.

I love how I was waiting for the twist. I knew it was coming. But I didn’t know what it would be. Mom’s a witch? Mom’s the town hag who’s also abusive? What’s going on? 😂

When she said "Guess who climbed up my hair today, mom?" had me rewatch again from the start. Brilliant.

Back in the day, things would be considered a "conversation piece."

Absolutely fantastic Eleanor! I knew a third of the way in that there was a good reveal coming and you didn't let us down!

This reminds me of Jeanette McCurdy’s memoir. Which, in retrospect, was probably the whole point of that fairytale, how manipulative mothers are real, unfortunately.

I was halfway through the video before I realized she was speaking with an American accent. I’m an American so it just seemed normal to me. If I had never seen any of her other videos, I’d think she was from the United States. 🇺🇸

Modern documentary until "guess who climbed up my hair" then hilarity ensues.

At first, I kept thinking… no way she is serious. I fell for it…comedic genius.

As a cosmetologist…I found this tale extremely hilarious 😆

You, my dear Eleanor, are as we say in Kentucky, a hoot and a half. Very very entertaining. You're a gem.

You are a gem. A real bright spot!

🤣 BAHAHAHA!!!!!❤❤ Brilliant!!!! Oh Eleanor that was well done!!! Thank you!

ha ha! You got me with this one. I started watching before reading comments. then was really puzzled at "guess who climbed up my hair?"...Good one!

Got the ticket somewhere around the "manipulative" part 😄 I'd definitely watch more of these, but I trust your creative direction 🙌🏻

You really had me questioning if this was serious or not until the middle. Great job of being specific, but just ambiguous enough to hide the twist. 🤣🤣🤣

new euphemism for 'allowing to smash'... she "let down her hair"...

At first I thought you were serious. I struggle with complex ptsd because my mom kept me locked in the house for 8 years. I could go to school and that was it even in the summer. When I wanted to move out I had come home from work and found all my clothes in bin bags out on the street ready for collection while she had her best friend over and we’re laughing at me.

Too funny. I've always found a woman with humor and wit to be _immensely_ appealing.

Ahhhhh! Man, you really had me there - hook , line, and sinker! Congratulations. That was impressive!

eleanor! the accent! fucking hell that's brilliant

No matter what the day has thrown at me just the notification of one of your videos is enough to improve my day,and the video is always guaranteed to make me laugh. Thank you Eleanor,for the precious gift of laughter. :-)

"Guess who climbed up my hair today". 🤣🤣🤣

It is so very good to see that you are confronting your past. 👍 Only by facing your demons will you be able to overcome them. Your courage is inspiring. May you continue to move forward in your healing Rapunzel.

I totally got sucked in on this one! Great job! Switching accents fooled me.

Lol! You had me going in the first half, and I cracked up laughing as soon as I got the gist of where you were going.

I want to see a parallel version of this, with the identical script but in Eleanor’s natural accent.

Well played darling, had me going till the end, gasping. 😄 Jolly good 👍

You wove that perfectly, I thought you were confessing something and then the hair reference. Well done !

ROFL! You SO had me going for a hot minute. I honestly thought this was another 'content creator bares the dark side of their soul' vid. Brava!

Hilarious! Love the journey you took us on with this.

You’re honing your craft, young miss. Finding your stride and a million other cliches. Good on ya ❤️

I’m so sorry Lassie. You poor adorable thing.

I own and operate the business of "Cheeky Chihuahua Charms"... A. I would love to send you one of our creations "Just for being YOU". B. You as far as I'm concerned are the CHEEKY-IST WOMAN ON THE PLANET...!!!😂😂😂😂

Brilliant. You really had me there for a moment, lol.

LMFAO YOU REALLY GOT ME AT FIRST

I sent this to my sister and the look on her face as it slowly dawned on her who Eleanor was actually portraying was priceless. I mean she loves Eleanor's work, but she loves this clip the most. It's one of those times you wish you could upvote a video more than once.

The double "Rapunzel" made me think of "Airplane!"

I spent a good 70 seconds thinking this was serious 😅😂

Whoa…… you really had me going there. You are very good! Nicely done 😂

I mean, as talking points go it's a pretty good one. People are _still_ talking about it to this day.

Had me wondering until guess who climbed up my hair? Brilliant and the accent spot on.

The moment you said that she stole you from the local woodsman, I was like "Ooooh, so it's not a real confession" xD

You had me at the half girl. Well done!

I was wondering where this was going but i did not expect that! 😂 Brilliant!

I always wondered what inspired the 'rinse and repeat' instruction on the bottles.

Love! Keep up your unique style. It slays.

This was so good and engaging, I completely forgot you weren't speaking in your normal British accent. You are a wizard with accents.

I’d never heard of this lady before and I started buying this story hook, line, and sinker!

Straight facing these might be an even more impressive talent than the writing hahaha

Hahaha - you had me going for awhile. I was thinking...wait...this is serious? Then - climbed up your hair - ahhhh, here comes something now. Good one! And then the last line - lol!

I thought "climbed up my hair" was going in a completely different direction.

😂😂😂😂😂😂 y’a got me but damn algorithms are sooo good I’m literally working with a duo who fit this fairytale to a tee, thanks for reading my mind so I know how to broach this hoarding situation!!!!

I like the line about shampoo and conditioner... heh heh heh heh... great take on the Rapunzel story.

I was wondering what the "lie" was and I refused to look at the comments and spoil it. Next level genius!!

Brilliant. You always hit the mark!😂❤

your story telling is so good I bought that at first.

🤣 genius, Eleanor

...that beatles song...getting better all the time...thank...love...

This is a great retelling of Rapunzel.😂

Honestly this had me going so long. Good job

That's a Gotcha that actually got me. Kudos.

You're such a great storyteller.

A master carpenter I follow posted an upload concerning his sleep apnoea; a topflight physicist uploaded her struggle with fruit sugars, and I watched both to the end, so at the start I was primed for an actual mother/daughter revelation...I fell for it hook, line and sinker. Good One!

Eleanor, you are brilliant. You totally had me until "climbed up my hair."

This was brilliant ! I started out thinking ok its coming, then I was like oh... wait, this is serious then just the slighest hint and boom! Perfect!!

'..as a talking point? maybe?" best line

🤣🤣🤣🤣 I can't believe I kept watching. lol

With no context and never having seen this channel before, I was thinking a very serious crime had happened! This was hilarious! In my case, a deformity has led to limited work, so I have no choice but to be a bellringer and do what I can to aid the woman of my dreams...with whom I have a strange feeling I will end up decaying in a charnel house with her locked in my skeletal arms, but that just might be pessimism on my part.

Talk about toxic mothers! My mother is super jealous and obsessed with looks (she's actually my step-mother). She looks into the mirror the whole day, talking to herself. One day I ran away from home. I found a job working with little people. It's so much fun :)

I honestly thought "Guess who climbed up my hair?" Was some sort of quaint Scottish saying, then I caught on! 😂😂😂

That's a very tangled situation.

I feel like Rapunzel would’ve went way different she was scottish

Hook, line, and sinker. You got me.

For a second, I thought "climbed up my hair" must be some kind of Scottish slang.

OMG! You really got me. Brilliant!😂
