Reminder the Pastor Dad in real life was an actual guy you would NEVER want near your kiddos.

The way that they forced that alcoholic aunt to be shut up in a room to detox is literally so dangerous. There are certain substances that you really need to be careful detoxing from, if you are a serious addict.

“ aren’t you a predator” “ didn’t you touch kids” “I think someone needs to take a look at your hard-drive”😂😂😂😂😂😂

The shots he’s taking at Stephen Collins every chance he gets kills me. I love it 🤣 “Shouldn’t you be in jail?”, 🤣☠️

Christian media is so hillariously out of touch with reality, its supposed to be serious and moralistic and just comes out so ridiculous you cant help but laugh

The way “I’ve been huffing, you dumb virgin” has been living nonstop at the forefront of my mind 💀

This family reminds of someone I knew who kept telling his son he risked his entire future by skipping a class ONCE to go to a movie with friends. Six months later the dad was still going on about it. I wanted to say, “you’ve never had to deal with an actual real problem, have you?”

I love that the actress at the end has such a good sense of humor about it.

“This family is so lame… even the dog’s a snitch” 😂😂

😂😂😂 Honestly, I would watch a reboot of that show, if it was instead told from the perspective of the other students, neighbours etc. Just reflecting on the weird almost-homeschool kids and their nosy parents 😅😅 Like a big mockumentary tell-all from the poor people affected by their bullshit.

When the mom bangs her chest at the white thugs and says “wanna piece of this?” That moment has lived rent free in my head ever since I saw it over 20 years ago 😅

“Lucy’s playing checkers but Shelby’s definitely playing chess” 😂😂😂

I grew up in a religious household and my sister always watched 7th Heaven. I will never forget the mom smokes weed episode, I laughed so hard

"I brought 7 kids into this world, I can take one out" spoken like a true pro-lifer lol

The constant jabs at the dads real-life criminal record are so good. Then Simon says "Someone should check your hard drive" 🤣

I work at a school. A tween boy jokingly giving a middle finger would at BEST get a five second scolding from the principal.

it was very amusing how half of the children actors left the show more and less permanently and story just shrugs it off, replacing them with foster children and sons-in-law. Dude, your daughter has left your family so hard that she left your universe, you're not in the position to give family advices.

The alcoholic aunt definetly needs help but ...locking her up?! That's not legal! This family is like something out of a nightmare😅

the dad suddenly working at the police department 😂 those pastors got more jobs than Barbie!

“Rolling so hard on ginkgo biloba” really got me 😭

This show is unhinged but I’m here for the train wreck.

The fact that you got thee Beverly Mitchell is sending me. Could not be more iconic and hilarious

“You’re not a bad person, you’re just poor” 😂

I love that the tag line is "You can relate", like who? Each episode is just a lifetime scary story for white suburban mom, with the script of a elementary school play.

I grew up watching this show, and this brings back ALL the memories. The skit with Lucy at the end? DEAD.

I can’t believe how many THE POORS episodes there were yet their ‘christian’ charity went as far as cleaning the dad’s apartment. Oh and all their moms are dead 😂

The pastor dad just spying on all the teachable moments is hilariously creepy.

I could never understand how, on a preacher’s salary, they could buy all the Snapple they always had. Thanks, that was hilarious!

- Dad, can I wear baggy pants? - NO! - Dad, I found a homeless girl in the street. Can I keep IT as a pet? - Sure!

My personal favourite was when they got a call from the doctor telling them their daughter was pregnant so they confronted her and she simply told them she couldn't be. Of course they didn't believe her. Turned out mom had gone for her physical with the same doctor around the same time and the office had mixed up the names. So much better.

My mom worshipped this show. This explains her being nosey and paranoid af 😂

I forgot about the autistic kid they kept hidden...because ableism!!! This show was WILD!!!

I never thought "plain silken tofu" can be used to describe a family, but here it is.

The biggest lesson you never know they just might be poor

Omg I’m literally dying! Did you seriously interview Beverly??? I cannot, that interview is the best thing I’ve ever seen on the internet.

Everytime the dad is referred to as a pedophile, you add 5 minutes to my lifespan 🤣☺️

In response to “you better not be looking at my wife”, instead of saying he’s a doctor, you think the first line of defense would be “IM HER BROTHER”. LOL Oh man this show is too good.

LOVE the subtle, under your breath, pedophile roasts of Stephen Collins!! 🤣🤣🤣 P.S. I had such a crush on Pastor Dad, growing up. 😳

It's so bad it's comical. Love Beverley Mitchell's appearance as a guest at the end!

Thank you for this ! My husband and I watched the entire series together some years ago, basically reacting just like you... It was so funny. "Even the dog is a snitch!” is a great motto for this perfect US family. Still big fans of Jessica Biel, by the way. Too bad she was not available... Greetings from Europe!

Yassss forcing an alcoholic to go through withdrawal when non-medically assisted detox from alcohol is highly fatal!

"Aren't you a predator?" Sent me!!! 🤣☠️

My mom loved this show when I was a kid and now suddenly I understand her parenting 😂

There is an episode I remember where Simon is invited by a girl over to her house. The girl wants to have sex with Simon but he says no and they invite other friends around to hang out instead. But the pastor is suspicious and goes over to her house and spies through the window to make sure Simon wasn't having sex. The Pastor was always making it his mission to ensure that none of his kids had sex. Why is he always spying through windows and hiding, watching from behind things?

This show was seriously wild! My favorite is after the actor that played Matt was just so sick of the BS of the show he quit so they had some "bad boy" the family was trying to reform move in to replace him. His "bad boy" behaviour: he is comfortable with his own body and unashamed to show his chest and flirt with girls. I just remember the end of the first episode where they started to bring him in as a replacement for Matt as Matt was phased out of the story that Simon is walking around shirtless and the sisters shame him for it since the new guy only walks around shirtless now when he's going to take a shower. But the weird thing is that Simon only goes shirtless in the episode when he is at home with the family... who in the hell was he showing off for?

LMAO that last part. How did you find the actual actress to stage this? 🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂

"you know where you're going if you keep wearing those pants?..... PRISON." TOOK ME TF OUT 😂 The way I just hollered in my office...

The thing that drove me the most crazy about this show is that the characters would never say goodbye before hanging up the phone. Well, that and Kevin's police partner who was the sole voice against the Iraq war, then all of a sudden a few episodes later she's super supportive of the war and the president.

All the low blow jab at Stephen Collins all through the video sent me to jail... Hilarious, i am so immersed with your convoluted story telling and you just break the 4th wall with all the pedo jokes... I died

I live for the guest appearance at the end! 😂

Listen, I’m a Christian, and I still cackled all the way through this. I need more. The way I was hooked on this show as a kid is so embarrassing!

“Why are these adults ALWAYS in the kids business?“ I was legit thinking the same thing, and constantly blowing things out of proportion lol

OMFG, I watched this series back when it was on, and back then I actually never realized how weird and unhinged it was!!!😂😅. Like, seeing this now, I am almost pissing myself

Lol that whole “everyone is good looking “ shit is stuff I heard a lot as a kid. There were only 4 of us but adults were constantly telling our mom about our looks like, as a collective.

My favorite " We have save Mary from herself" is when she is dating a man twice her age and everyone in the family tries to talk her out of that so much she leaves for good until she has a big secret that she married to a random guest star from like the first season and settles down for the rest of the show 😂

Omg the drunk aunt getting the makeover only to end up serving Sarah: Plain & Tall

I forgot 7th heaven was a show. It feels like a fever dream that I had as a 5 year old 😂

Rob, this is the funniest thing I’ve seen in a while. 😂😂7th Heaven is so nuts! Thank you!! You’re the best 🩵🩵 Edit: omg the therapy session at the very end!

ok I held it together right until Rod the Rastafarian appeared on the screen 🤣💀

Rolling hard on ginkgo biloba 😂😂😂 Oh my goodness Fruitopia forgot all about that

Therapist: I am going to make so. Much. MONEY.

Pastor: You’re a bad dad Coach: Aren’t you a predator? Me:💀

The worst part is, there are people who are actually like this and think we all need to be.

I like how they call glue-sniffing "huffing". It almost sounds wholesome 😂

I lost it at "theyre on that good shit, theyre on that Benjamin Moore "

Whoa. Didn’t realize the actor playing the dad was a convicted child molester.😮😮😮

“That could have been you, Mary, but your dad’s a pastor🥺” 😂😂

Omg I have been doing a rewatch from the beginning as well and I have been HORRIFIED by how problematic this show was. It turned into a hate watch. Those kids had so many ‘talks’ with their parents it was ridiculous. And for a Christian family that is supposed to have responsible rules around dating and sex it sure was a constant topic as well as the parents constantly being inappropriate and weird… if people really did grow up in these types of households they would have so many hang ups. Also the oldest brother is borderline stalker and gaslighting in his relationships

Of course the dad is randomly hanging around outside the school when they hug in the middle finger episode 😅😅 the bulimia one is probably the most bizarre, how did they even come up with that storyline 😂

I'm a pastor's kid and I remember watching this show all the time growing up in the 90s, with my mom and sister. My mom was constantly annoyed at the fancy house they lived in that a real pastor's salary could never afford XD. She also loved analyzing all the tings that would never happen in a real church office.

“We know why you’re there….” & “shouldn’t you be in the back of one of these” 💀💀💀 dying

NO ONE NAMED KAREN HAS EVER BEEN IN A GANG

OMG!!!! All of your breakdowns are absolutely hilarious, even as kids, we knew this show was sooo lame….and the jabs at the p3do dad are the BEST

Was not expecting the end

This show is an absolute riot and should be watched entirely for historical purposes.

I wonder why I was so obsessed with this show when I was 12 and then I realize it's because Barry Watson was very pleasant to look at.

LOL. You didn’t even mention the episode where the math teacher keeps stealing Lucy’s lunch that Lucy accidentally leaves in the classroom everyday and comes home hungry. When she tells her mom about it, the mom isn’t even upset, just goes to find out why and the teacher says she’s using the theft of her lunch in hopes that child hunger might help Lucy understand the geometry problem. I mostly remember it because most of my teachers at the small rural school I went to were devout Christians and for several days after that episode aired they all had some variation of a rant on how horrible the teacher and the parents were for doing that to a kid. Love the cameo at the end! I haven’t watched that show in years and really only used to watch reruns of it during the summer when my friends were away at campe or our camping with family or off at family reunions. I mostly thought it was a weird show (especially when I was told it wasn’t a comedy by a classmate) and never really understood why it was popular. Especially since so many very devoutly religious people I knew seemed to constantly rant about the show’s episodes. Like I rarely ever heard anyone talk about it as if they watched it because they liked it. It honestly seemed like people were either watching it to mock it or watching it to criticize it. But I definitely remember it, so it has that going for it! Great video!

I unironically watched this as a kid and I never realized how absolutely ridiculous it is

I used to be a Legal Assistant and one of the things one of the attorneys told me was to never go back into the store to return something you accidentally walked out with without paying for because they will press charges. Like even if it was just a small thing you didn't see when you were unloading your cart at checkout and then you found once you got to the car, keep it and keep your mouth shut about it. You will always regret honesty. Telling the kid to take the glass back was definitely the wrong advice. 😂

"she might just be poor" is the follow up for every argument.

Omg i SCREAM LAUGHED at this!! Your commentary is so hilarious! I totally remember watching this as a kid on WB every week but really dont remember it being this ridiculous lol

When you showed Rod the Rastafarian, a sound emerged from me that ive never made before... My sleeping partner super appreciated it... lol

The fact this show blamed so many things (alcoholism, drugs...) on being poor, it's hysterical. Like, "girl, stop being poor and your life will get better". LMAO

The "Aunt Julie is an alcoholic" episode is wild! I only now as an adult realize how absurdly irresponsible it was for Eric and Annie to try and detox her at home with five children in the house. What were they thinking! They should have put her in rehab immediately and let medical professionals help her detox.

"ive smoked pot" line of all time...

“Washes it down w/ Frutopia” 😂😂😂😂

THANK YOU! I was waiting, for decades now, to meet someone who hated to love this show as much as I do!

This is the best commentary I've ever heard. I currently cannot breathe 🤣🤣 Shouldn't someone be checking your hard drive?? ☠️

"Aren't you a pred..." DEAD!!!

Omg i CAN NOT with this guy. I freakin love listening to him narrate ANYTHING. You gave me the laughs i didn't know i needed today

This 18 minutes of my life spent watching this collection of shorts was so therapeutic. You are a godsend for healing years of trauma I had as a little kid watching this horrible show. 😢

My family watched a bunch of 7th heaven and honestly that shit was hilarious. Especially when a majority of the kids were adults/late teens. The early stuff when they are kids is just silly.

“This is Tori Amos going thrifting”. I’m DEad! 😂😂😂😂😂😂

I watched this show RELIGIOUSLY when it aired (no pun intended) - I can’t believe I didn’t realize how insane it was then 🤣🤣

I loved Seventh Heaven but never realized how stupid it was. Thank you for shedding light on these episodes. This is hilarious.😭😂😂😂

I SNORTED at “Can I give you a makeover?” With the Bloomingdale’s bag🤣🤣

As the series went on, the writers laughed more at the family. Not with them, at them.

Oh man, I occasionally watched this drivel when it aired back in the day and it is so much worse than I remember. How did this go on for 11 seasons? That's nuts. Anyway, these recaps were AMAZING! I'm in stitches over here!

That you had Lucy at the end, though! That was AWESOME!

This is actually sending meeee cause we used to watch this show as a family and we loved every minute of it 😭🤣
