i'm going to be streaming a lot this week so follow my twitch if you want to see those: www.twitch.tv/eddyburback

Imagine their disappointment when they have one boy and one girl

cool: being a twin not cool: making being a twin your only personality trait

Fun Fact: In this video Eddy says "something feels twoff". "Twoff" is the correct pronounciation of the Turkish word "tuhaf". Which literally means "weird". What a "tuhaf" coincidence.

These twins are fascinating. Four people, two sets of DNA, one personality and 1/2 brain.

These people claim that they happen to have found their "soulmates", but I'm still 80% sure they just married twins just for the sake of marrying twins.

The whole “we always wanted to marry identical twins” shit is definitely a fetish lmao

In college I knew a pair of identical twins who were the same major, took all the same classes, had the same job, and always dressed exactly the same. They literally never went anywhere without each other, and it seemed very codependent. The weirdest part was once you got to know them, they actually had quite different personalities, which made their forced identical lifestyle even stranger. Imagine not being able to take a class, buy an outfit, or go to an event unless another person approves, all because they happen to look like you.

I literally cannot think of one reason why they ALL need to live together

Imagine if both sets of married identical twins decided to cheat on on one another, but slept with their own spouses pretending to be the other twin.

Did it make anyone else uncomfortable that they kept saying “if we have girls” or “if we have boys” ignoring the fact that one of them could have a boy and the other a girl

Being an identical twin and having our parents force us to look and act exactly the same was awful. They thought it was cute I guess, but one day my twin snapped and cut her hair and dyed it. It sounds small, but it was a huge deal for us. Then she told me we weren't allowed to have the same friend groups anymore, which made me sad, but we were both so scared of not having any sort of real identity. She still dyes her hair and I'm not allowed to dye mine the same color, or she'll be incredibly upset. Forcing us to act the same really put a rift in our relationship :( Edit: ahhhh I didn't think anyone would see this I was just venting 😭. Yeah idk what to do sometimes, but me and my twin still love each other. It's complicated but thanks for validation and kind words ♥️

I’m an identical twin and when I was a kid my mom always made sure to never dress us in the same clothing, made sure in primary schooling we had different classes, and encourage us to have separate hobbies from each other. Looking at this video makes me very glad my mom enforced us to be separate individuals rather than a codependent single unit.

these girls seem to have the fact that theyre twins as their ENTIRE personality. i learned absolutely NOTHING about them personality-wise besides the fact that theyre twins, which definitely shouldnt be a whole ass personality

genetically, it’s a pretty cool phenomenon. psychologically, really fuckin weird.

If I was a parent of identical twins, I would be so extremely anxious for the first like two years of their lives before they can fully internalize their own name, worrying that I was mixing them up and they couldn’t correct me, and then they would just end up getting switched in names by accident

I am unable to listen to the phrase "Imagine growing up having a household of your parents, and an identical set of your parents, and a confusing *sibling-cousin* and the lines are all blurred" without cracking up

You know they “accidentally” kiss the wrong spouse every now and then

yeah right, lets just completely GLIDE OVER THE FACT THAT THEY HIRED TWIN PRIESTS TO MARRY THEM at 11:10

If I had an identical twin, we probably would have agreed to fight to deth at our 18th birthday. The world can't even handle one of me.

I grew up with triplets where two of them were identical and one was not. So they started as two eggs and one of them split. The non-identical sister said she was so happy she didn't look like them so she could have her own personality and life, lol.

"Eddy's Biology Corner" sounds like the grossest strip club of all time

Eddy: isn’t it so weird when twins are *too* close? Isn’t that uncomfortable? Conjoined twins: :/

I’m actually an identical twin with a brother who looks exactly like me, and a big struggle in my life has been trying to get people to see me as just me, not one piece of the set. I couldn’t even imagine the personal identity nightmare that living in that household would be.

in my experience, identical twins have always either been super adamant about being exactly the same or desperate to prove they are not alike whatsoever! I've never actually met a psychologically normal twin, unless they were fraternal. i think being raised/percieved as identical twins just does something to your brain in your formative years where you're just on one end of the extreme or the other and there's very rarely a middle ground

Their entire personality is just being a twin. That sounds awful

I like to imagine that only one of the twin husbands had feelings for one of the twin wives, but that the other guy was just peer pressured into dating the sister and can't leave the relationship

In my chemistry class back in 2014 there were a set of identical twins and a set of fraternal triplets. My chemistry teacher liked to use them to demonstrate how chemical reactions work by having them represent molecules/atoms and interact. She was on some weird shit lmao

as an identical twin myself, the most annoying thing about being one is people treating me and my brother like we are the same person

we're identical twins marrying identical twins, we're so twuirky

as a child of an identical twin, those children will be confused as shit trying to find out whostheir actual parents are.

This feels like the human version of sibling syndrome in dogs, where littermates are raised together nonstop and can develop intense codependency, separation anxiety, dont bond with humans/other dogs, aggression, etc

One of my biggest pet peeves is when parents force their identical twins to wear the same clothes... like let the kids wear what they want and let them be their own people omg. I’m not a twin but I don’t think I would enjoy being forced to dress the same for like the first 10 years of my life.

I'm gonna go with the word twinge

I'm a fraternal twin that has a sister, people have confidently told me I was lying and that wasn't possible. So I just don't really bring it up because in the past it has been an actual point of contention. People are actually this dumb.

As a fraternal twin who grew up with both identical and fraternal twin friends, I can say fraternal twins are given a better chance at being less weird because people grant you your individuality more readily since you don’t look like another person. A lot of the weird seems to come from just constantly being put in this very specific box of being the same.

As a fraternal twin this healed me so much 😭 The worst part about being one is when you tell people and they ask " Do you two look the same?!" "No we're fraternal" and EVERY time they respond with "Oh 😒" INFURIATING.

Im not a geneticist but i think if one of them was pregnant with their brother in laws baby it couldn't be proven

“Fraternal twins for life” as if there is another option

If anyone's wondering: they both had boys, one's birth was announced January 21, 2021, and the other was announced April 21st, 2021 (idk if they were both born on the 21st) and fitting the theme of alliterative names they named the babies Jett and Jax. Based on a TikTok they uploaded to their Instagram it seems like their kids will mix them up which is absolutely wild

i kinda hope when their kids grow up, they will tell their experience

Imagine someone breaking into these people's house and then just seeing 4 people who look identical, dressed identical and talking in unison with the exact same voice

as an identical twin, my twin and i will be hiring twin lawyers to sue for defamation.

What if one of them turns out evil? Then the other one grows up and has to train to defeat it.

My husband is a fraternal twin and his mom is greek/Italian and his dad is British. My husband got 100% of the greek/Italian (super tan, dark hair dark eyes) while his brother got 100% of the British (pale, reddish light brown hair, freckles). People hardly ever believe theyre related let alone twins. One of my bridesmaids at our wedding asked his brother how he knew the bride and groom lol.

Super late to the party, but I wonder if some twins act like this because they were raised as "twins" instead of "two children who happen to be twins". Like the parents who give their kids alliteration names, dress them up the same, and make their entire identity about being a twin.

This is one of those things that is clearly a fetish but they're pretending it's not and it makes me real uncomfortable.

This doesn't just go for twins, but I feel like it's not good to get that close to...anything. When their existence becomes part of someone's identity and something where to happen to them, that would be beyond devastating. Losing a spouse or sibling is bad enough, but that's taking it to the next level.

I can’t really blame Eddy for being upset over the blanket statement of “Twins are inseparable, we do everything together” because last I checked, I don’t change clothes at the same time and in the same room as my twin sister since that’d just be weird Edit: speaking of being a twin, since I’m shorter than my sister and being a guy, people tend to mistake my older sister and my twin for being the twins since they look the most similar (which I can’t fault them for that) and since me and my twin have similar sounding names and hers is also a guys name, people tend to get our names confused, even those who’ve known about us for years

Eddy: "What would happen if they tried to get sexual and it was the wrong twin?" It's called a tworgy, Mr. Burback.

The worst thing about this is that these people are going to want their children now to act like twins even though they aren’t. They’re going to force it on them since apparently everything in their lives revolves around twins and being a twin is SO great. I hope their children are different genders and look nothing alike to put in kink in this nonsense.

I never knew you had a twin brother. That's so cool. How long have you been twins?

i co-oped for a kindergarten class with two identical(i think) twin boys. i was always careful to use their shoes (one liked blue and one liked orange shoes and they had their initials on them) because i had heard how hard it can be to be seen as one part of a set and not a whole person, people in the comments here talk about it. they were very kind and lovely kids, like the rest of the class:) they both liked pokemon and i would help them learn to draw them (my favourite is kyurem and they asked to draw it on my last day). i drew birthday cards for all the kids with birthdays during the school year, and something that bothered me was this fear that they would get like... one card for both of them. It's a weird thing to worry abt but idk lol. i had a great time learning each of their 3 favourite pokemon!

burback brothers be like: we’re not like other twins

UPDATE: they both had boys, privacy is getting uncomfortably hard for them, the dads feel very connected to their respective sons, and also they share a bank account for some reason.

Eddy was 100% right that that whole double twin marriage was creepy as fuck, but I do want to say the concern that "you'll mix up your spouse for their sibling" is nothing. If you've ever had or been friends with an identical twin, you'll know that past a very young age even its very easy to tell them apart. Even twins that live extremely similar lifestyles grow up with enough subtle differences to their faces and such that you can always tell which is which.

im a fraternal twin. im so glad my mom raised my brother and i to be own person and celebrated things separately. like we'd get our own birthday cake and party (if we wanted, usually just celebrated together) and our own gifts, while our family tried to pass off birthday and christmas gifts as "joint gifts" 🙄

my brothers are identical twins. there’s a constant issue with them wanting to be their own separate people and people like this making that nearly impossible. it’s not only creepy and weird to generalize people the way they do, it’s damaging.

As a fraternal twin I just want everyone to know that we love it when you ask if we are identical and talk to us like we are children and you should continue doing that.

whenever i see twins that close my brain just goes "yep, incest." without any real justification.

I had roommates who were identical twins. After few months, they started to look extremely different. Also, the children of the twin couple will definitely not be best friend, they may even hate each other.

update on the pregnancies : Brittany had a baby girl and Briana is still waiting on to give birth. At least their kids will have separate birthdays lol Edit: I was mistaken she gave birth to a baby boy. Also apparently they have both suffered from miscarriages in the past so everybody getting snarky in the comments let them be happy

"These children, while they're technically cousins, they're biologically siblings." *country music gets faster and louder*

My younger cousins are fraternal twins and when I tell you that they could not be more different personality wise I am not kidding. One is a basketball player who blows off his homework and will find any reason to get out of chores, the other has no coordination and lives to spend hours doing yard work and is a bit of a perfectionist. Even down to one of them being right handed and one being left handed. Somehow having twins in the family makes twins like this way creepier to me

I love this appreciation for non-identical twins as also one myself. Identical get all the limelight, especially in tv and books.

I'm a twin, and this is weird

“They all moved in together” Officially felt icky. Super icky. Bad feeling. Ugch. Blegch

reminds me of a few documentaries of twins who were actually miserable because of being twins, theres one about two twins with EDs who hate each other but are incredibly codependent on one another so can't live apart. There's also the silent twins who had a bad speech impediment and we're the only black kids in their school, so they stopped talking to other people and only talked to each other in their own "language" except it wasn't it was just English with an accent and a bad lisp spoken quickly. They loved and hated each other because they were the only person each other had for company but they were locking themselves further into a twin identity and they wanted to be separated but we're unable to function apart as kids, wouldn't eat, we're catatonic, etc. But they commited arson as teens and because they were odd, black and mentally ill they were sent to Broadmoor, the most highly secure unit for the criminally ill, even though their arsons were not on buildings with people inside (not to excuse it ofc but they spent like 12 years there compared to a typical prison sentence for the same crime), they were painfully sad and lonely and got into a bad crowd as soon as they were teens. They said that they'd agreed one of them would have to die before theyd be able to comfortably live separate lives, and then one just died on the way to a lower security location, really young too, and no one could explain why her heart just gave out, other than maybe the strong medication they had her on, but the other twin was on the same meds and had no issues so it caught them off guard. I'm sure it's easily explained medically, but the surviving twin went on to be released and live a fairly normal life after the fact. I can tell with the tlc stuff with these twins they're just telling them to speak together and they don't normally do that. Other famous cases of twins who speak together tend to have one leading and the other essentially echoing or attempting to predict what the other is saying and keep up, but thats clearly because they're in a very codependent attachment with each other. With these twins it's so obviously staged for tlc. I do feel really bad for the kids though and really hope they aren't actually living together. I can imagine the mothers trying to make sure they're induced on the same day, or one trying to hold off giving birth while the other frantically tries to go into labour early.

bro even as a fraternal twin my mom would dress me and my sister the same and I would always hate it. I cant imagine what these kids are gonna go through

This feels like some secret Sims family I created and felt dirty about it afterwards, appaled by my own perverted creation.

are we just going to gloss over the fact that these twins were going husband shopping at *twin conventions* 👀👀

As an identical twin I am so glad you made this video (and also don't mind the roasting). My sister and I kinda always hated "twin culture" and when people would get us mixed up or tell us we looked the same growing up, and we do get along, but as we got older we made sure to do everything possible to dress/style ourselves differently and went to completely different colleges.

I know a woman with an identical twin who abused her, yeah no, they don’t all get close.

It feels like they just have an incestual polygamorous relationship

I feel like Eddy's harbouring some internalised twinphobia

What makes me uncomfortable is when twins aren't permitted to be individuals, I would find it infuriating to constantly be defined as being a twin.

Can we talk about how weird it is to marry the sibling of your sibling’s spouse? Like, even without the whole twin thing, that feels very weird to me. It’s like one step away from incest.

Thinking about all the identical twins that clicked on this and didn't expect to be Absolutely Roasted for 15 minutes

The twins that base their personalities around being a twin and orbiting each other makes me sad because what is one going to do if something happens to the other and they pass

These guys made being twins their whole personality and have led their entire existences around that.

I wonder if there are statistics in twin marriages. Like marriages between twins like them (who marries another identical twin) and twins who married totally different people.

"Being an identical twin really affects every part of your life" Um, no. Only because you purposefully make it that way.

I'm a twin as well, except I'm a guy and I have a sister. You have no idea how many people still ask "oh are you guys identical" even after finding out we aren't the same gender

I have identical twin girls, and their personalities are so absolutely opposite of each other, but like similar things and I often get them the same or similar things not to make them the same, but TO KEEP THE PEACE 😩 I try to help them be different and their own unique self because these type of twins scare the shit out of me. I do not want my children to be like this, I want a healthy relationship between them with space and boundaries.

second hand twinbarressment as a sibling of identical twins

I’m glad I’m different from my identical twin. He’s got long hair and dresses really weird so he always just looks like the homeless version of me. It’s fantastic

The moment the dude said: "biologically, they're both going to be siblings" already had me in absolute despair. I want to go back 5 minutes ago when I didn't know this was a thing

My ballet teacher growing up was an identical twin who met her future husband (an identical twin himself) at her sister/his brother’s wedding. She and her sister both had daughters within a year of each other and the daughters were almost 100% identical. It was tweird for sure but there were no matching outfits involved at least, and both families had their own houses in separate towns lol

I knew a pair of identical twins in kindergarten, and I was friends with one of them. They wore different clothes, and liked different things, but at a glance you couldn’t really tell them apart. I didn’t even know my friend had a twin till we went to a little school fair thing, and they were with their dad. I ended up grabbing the wrong twin and dragging him all over the fair. He didn’t even tell me until like halfway through the day.

I'm so glad someone who can say this has said this. It's shit that's like, not incest, but feels like it's incest.

At least 1 of these 4 twins must of settled just to make their twin happy

I completely agree! as a fraternal twin, identical twins who dress the same and share a personality are very strange and honestly sad

Wow those twin twin couples are going to completely screw up those kids. They’re going to have such a warped up sense of self and perception of life it feels like a documentary on how to create a cereal killer

I'm most distressed about the fact that they said it was their dream to marry another set of twins. It really seems like you're forcing a pretty specific and unusual relationship dynamic by making that arbitrary trait the most important criteria. What if one couple doesn't get along as well as the other couple? If they break up will they all break up? More likely, will they all stay together even if some of them are unhappy just to avoid ruining their sibling's relationship? I'm seriously concerned that one of these people is eventually gonna find this whole atmosphere too stifling and end up having an affair or leaving or something.

Identical twins that are "too identical" weird me out as it is- but this? This is beyond creepy. They're all so codependent on one another & it's incredibly unhealthy.

As a twin myself, 100% agree with everything you said

My sisters are identical twins and one of them got a bf and the other didn’t and the bf in this is legally blind and……the twins would pretend to be each other and prank the poor man……i always Feel bad for him

I'm a guy with a female twin and I can't tell you how many times people have asked if we're identical. Those people are a special kind of stupid.

their kids on reddit in the future like: "How do i tell my mum [f48] my cousin [f14] and i [f14] don't get along because both our parents are twins with each other?"

these kids are actually gonna be so so confused
