If Barb filmed the newest video, then why? -

[AtroposHeart]

At the end of the new High school lego video we see what are the legs of an older women, judging by fashion and shoe. The only other woman in his life that matched that description was Rocky, but he pretty much kicked her to the curve, only leaving Barb.

However, why would Barb do this? She should know very well by now that internet videos don't do her son any good. Videos just attracted trolls. So why?

 

[MrTroll]

Maybe she's finally gone senile and just doesn't have any idea what's going on any more.

 

[Dork Of Ages]

To show people how high-functioning her autistic adult child is

But it's always possible that it was just some random old lady, but filming a video like that for 10 minutes can be really weird, so I am not too sure about it.

 

[rocket]

the production quality (such as it is) of this video appears a good deal higher than those from the golden years. like, actual attention was paid to staging and he let moments land and it appeared to me like he had some idea of what he wanted to say beforehand

I can't shake the feeling the vid originally had another purpose, like the animal crossing video, and barb viewed that purpose as harmless

or maybe Chris got so fat he actually birthed a clone like an amoeba and that's why he looks so skinny

 

[Surtur]

Because shes an idiot.

 

[Kosher Dill]

Because when Chris really gets going, she has NO ESCAPE from the whining. Not even to a different room of the house, for obvious reasons.

 

[likeabadgirlshould]

Maybe it is someone he is planning on making a sweetheart from the ground up.. He of course will try to keep it a secret. Only time will tell.

 

[Sakamoto]

We don't know for sure that it is Barb, although she is the most likely suspect for now. Assuming it is her, well, she's nearly as stupid as Chris and ignorant about the internet, so I'm sure Chris could have convinced her it's a harmless video to share with his old classmates and/or Lego enthusiasts.

Rocky does know better and Chris has cut her off, so I think we can rule her out.

 

[Hollywood Hulk Hogan]

Brother, the Hulkster's theory is that Chris attained critical mass and collapsed into a singularity, and what we see is what is left after the outer layers of the mass was shed. What was shed coalesced into a heaping mass of elderly woman, who taped the video.

 

[Suloxide]

Chris's appointed counselor probably said that the two of them should do some kind of activity together instead of sitting around an infested house watching TV.

It could have been one of his many gal pals.

Would Chris accept an older woman as a Gal Pal? That is a question left only to the philosophers.

 

[pickleniggo]

Chris used wake-up slap and charm on Snorlax. It was super-effective.

 

[impossibility]

'Show my Manchester High friends group online' might have been enough to convince, considering those are people Barb had even met in person. 'Oh is that right Crischun? How is that Tiffany Gowen these days?'

It's hard to tell with . Maybe she thought her son was doing something productive, and can actually get him money (though there is no chance of that.). If it was her, here is this question. Why the FUCK would you do this in public? Despite the backyard being a mess, wouldn't have been a lot more convenient and a lot less embarrassing to keep this display at home? Also GAS IS EXPENSIVE!

 

[bigshot]

Chris probably told Barb it was to be shown at the reunion as a surprise.

I think the reasoning behind the video, the reason it was uploaded, and why Barb was filming it are a lot simpler than we're making it to be.

As we all know, Chris has been deadset on having a high-school reunion. I would bet the reason he assembled this high school set is to win the hearts of his gal-pals and convince them, through the art of LEGO, that they needed to have this reunion. Granted, it's the same mental mindset an 8-year old has when making Christmas pictures for their parents, but Chris seems to work on this level.

The reason for filming and uploading this video I would assume is Chris' feeble attempt at trying to rewrite history and try to cover up the fact that his gal-pals looked at him as the pity-pet. In his mindset, his creativity deserves to be praised, so if he showed this off, perhaps this will once again woo them over or... something. Honestly, trying to think through Chris logic is about as easy as eating soup with a fork.

And then, to the OT, the reason Barb is involved in all of this is because it is something that would distract Chris for a time. I'm not saying she is a great mother, obviously with how neglectful she has shown herself to be and how she has shown that living in the equivalent of a dumpster is perfectly acceptable, but she has gone out of her way to shuttle Chris to LEGO events, or Mythbuster concerts, or whatever. If anything, I bet she did this if only to distract Chris with something else so he would stop playing vidya all day.

 

[Pikonic]

Barb is a 70 something old widow with minor mental problems. She has two sons, the elder will probably never speak to her again, the younger she has to watch for the rest of her life. Sad as it is, I think Barb is too old and burnt out to care anymore.
"Mama, dis will help me connect wif mah old friends and they'll think I'm kewl."
"Ok sweetie, whatever you say. Just film this at McDonald's, I don't want people to see the inside of our house."

 

[hopietan]

As others said she probably doesn't care what OPL does now as long as he is in her clutches.

So this brings another question to mind... If Barb was the one filming this, would it have been her idea to film it at McDonalds?

Chris never seemed to care how people saw his house after all when the average person would be embarrassed of having their home in such a state. Then again lately pretty much a majority of the pictures he posts on facebook (like the lego one with Angel Bob and him) seem to have been taken at McDonalds...

Maybe she thought her son was doing something productive

Maybe she was just extremely relieved that Chris was finally, finally doing something with his time besides bitching about trolls and sweethearts. Maybe she would do anything for just five more minutes of Chris enjoying toys before going back to bitching about Megan.

At the part where he showed Megan's figure in detention I expected him to grab the camera and scream into it "I WANT MY SAILOR MOON DVDs BACK YOU GERMAN WARFARE BITCH!"
