Insane Films – 2026-05-05 – Red Carpet, Red Alert
This video is a fiery political takedown that reframes a glamorous fashion spectacle as a symbol of elite influence and democratic decline, arguing that media power, billionaire patronage, and celebrity participation are all intertwined in normalizing dangerous politics. It’s confrontational, unapologetic, and built to provoke debate, channeling outrage into a broader call for cultural accountability and resistance.

Insane Films – 2026-04-23 – Delay, Detour, Bay Wander
A frazzled arrival in San Francisco turns into a funny, free-form city drift after a last-minute plane swap and a runway delay. Between street-level sightings, skyline cameos, and a mission to find the water, the video captures the disoriented thrill of landing somewhere iconic without a plan, then chasing the possibility of a perfect bridge view before the moment slips away.

Insane Films – 2026-04-16 – Layover, Gym, Router Rage
After a brutal Texas trip and a chaotic journey home that turned into an unexpected overnight detour, this candid check-in captures the messy reentry to normal life: exhaustion, improvised meals, a quick attempt at self-recovery, and the ongoing battle to choose between two imperfect internet options. It is equal parts travel meltdown, domestic comedy, and very relatable tech frustration.

Insane Films – 2026-04-04 – Rebooting Bissey Live
A live podcast setup spirals into comedy and chaos when the host’s AI co-host suddenly turns cold, robotic, and uncooperative on air. What follows is a brutally funny troubleshooting saga through tone settings, persona tweaks, and platform confusion, ending in a shaky but promising comeback as the show pivots toward late-night physics talk and the strange intimacy of learning science through sleep content.

Insane Films – 2026-04-04 – Plunge Drama, Action Mode
What starts as a gross household emergency turns into a chaotic, hilarious blow-by-blow of a stubborn toilet battle, filmed with way too much confidence and commentary. With improvised lighting, escalating frustration, and surprisingly technical plunging strategy, the video delivers pure messy realism—and a triumphant finish that feels weirdly earned.

Insane Films – 2026-04-03 – Wig, Pressure, Power
In a raw, unfiltered monologue that blends self-deprecating humor with sharp political commentary, the speaker argues that a hardline no-aid stance on Israel may be more about progressive pressure than policy conviction. The video frames U.S. military support not as charity, but as leverage for strategic influence in a volatile region, while questioning whether absolutist positions ignore geopolitical realities and the messy tradeoffs of power.

Insane Films – 2026-04-02 – Valerie Cherish on Healthcare
Okay, can we roll? Health care is more expensive, and I don’t need to see that. Since the 1970s, U.S. health care went from about 7% of GDP to roughly 18%, and I do not need to see that. The U.S. spends around twice as much per person as many European countries, and I don’t need to see that. Same MRI, same procedure, y… Watch the full video.

Insane Films – 2026-03-28 – Airport Rumors, Real Talk
A casual city-to-city chat takes a sharp turn into politics, airport anxiety, and social-media exaggeration, revealing how everyday conversations can cut through the noise faster than any viral post. Between quick takes on life in Chicago versus Los Angeles and personal honesty about family and priorities, the exchange captures the weirdly intimate rhythm of modern small talk—until real life interrupts with a sudden phone call.

Insane Films – 2026-03-22 – Fat Wanda and Fat Madge
From 2005, when Wanda Wisdom was fat. Madge was always fat. Cheryl Merkowski was behind the camera.

Insane Films – 2026-03-20 – PAC Words, Weaponized
A furious political takedown unpacks how activist language gets flattened into slogans, then repurposed by rival power players to steer outrage in whichever direction is useful. The speaker connects campaign money, identity labels, and algorithm-friendly purity tests into a single cycle of manipulation, arguing that performative politics is replacing analysis—and that without nuance, people become easy targets for the very forces they claim to oppose.

Insane Films – 2026-03-19 – Hormuz Blame Game
In this fiery monologue, a bombastic leader insists he’s being scapegoated for a global chokepoint crisis, portraying himself as a loyal ally betrayed by the very coalition he expected to rescue him. As he deflects responsibility and names foreign figures as villains, the rant spirals into a chaotic mix of grievance, ego, and geopolitical theater that feels both absurd and unsettlingly plausible.

Insane Films – 2026-03-19 – Ladies ‘R Us
A sharp little Insane Films aside about the odd ‘Ladies R Us’ energy—sixty seconds of Madge being Madge.

Insane Films – 2026-03-17 – Ambition Bigger Than Cuba
This outrageous riff turns the idea of “taking Cuba” into a wink-wink metaphor for pushing limits—physically, comedically, and maybe emotionally. The speaker swears they can handle something hilariously oversized, complete with poppers jokes and wild bravado, daring the audience to see just how far the bit goes. It’s bold, raunchy, and unapologetically over the top.

Insane Films – 2026-03-15 – Re-elect Sara Feigenholtz
With election day close, this clip is a direct call for action in Illinois State Senate District 6: stop assuming a proven incumbent is safe and actually show up. It spotlights a record of concrete wins—especially for LGBTQ institutions and reproductive-care protections—while warning how quickly complacency can hand power to weaker alternatives. The message is urgent, blunt, and laser-focused on one thing: turn quiet appreciation into ballots before it’s too late.

Insane Films – 2026-03-12 – Candace Owens is a Huge Cunt
A furious monologue confronts the danger of mass-audience hate rhetoric and the helplessness that follows when conspiracy myths go mainstream. The speaker moves from shock and grief into a raw reckoning with historical trauma, wrestling with how communities are expected to respond when dehumanization resurfaces in modern media. It’s an emotionally charged call to recognize the stakes before rhetoric hardens into real-world harm.

Insane Films – 2026-03-09 – History on Replay
A newly surfaced 2006 Yeast Radio episode feels eerily current, tracing familiar patterns in wartime spin, science denial, and political storytelling that still echo today. The clip doubles as a personal invitation to revisit that moment through fresh ears, with a candid, offbeat charm that blends urgency, humor, and a direct appeal to the audience not to miss what matters.

Insane Films – 2026-03-06 – Patriotism for Profit
This biting political parody follows a boastful strongman who frames national decline as personal success, turning corruption, conflict, and grift into a victory lap. With escalating absurdity and dark humor, the video exposes how propaganda can rebrand self-preservation as leadership—and why that performance is so dangerously persuasive.

Insane Films – 2026-03-05 – Attention Beats Policy
A sharp political monologue cuts through the outrage cycle and challenges viewers to stop scoring vibes and start stress-testing real-world execution: what can actually be signed, funded, defended, and implemented fast. It reframes modern campaign theater as an attention economy game, then gives a practical filter that instantly separates governing reality from performative branding.

Insane Films – 2026-03-04 – Pabloosh Economics
A darkly comic rant spirals from market panic into geopolitical dread, capturing the absurd whiplash of trying to live normally while headlines feel apocalyptic. It’s equal parts gallows humor and raw frustration, turning existential fear into a sharp, chaotic monologue about power, consequences, and everyday people stuck in the blast radius.

Insane Films – 2026-03-03 – Taco Tuesday Meltdown
A playful skit serves up market panic as the daily special, blending deadpan delivery with improvised sound effects and creator-era frustration into a quick, chaotic bite of humor.

Insane Films – 2026-03-02 – Citizenship, Not Campaign Branding
A fired-up political rant argues that voters can’t outsource responsibility to campaign messaging and then act surprised by outcomes, insisting civic duty matters more than candidate marketing spin. The video then pivots into a sharp, funny personal comedown—post-rant gym plans, a Chicago Thai restaurant shoutout, and chaotic food commentary that turns frustration into dark humor and everyday texture.

I’m sorry to have to share this with you, but I just don’t know what else to do with this information. But when I go to the gym in the morning, there’s this man there in the locker room.

Hi, it’s Madge, and I found a political pattern so infuriating you may need a glass of water before I show you who is on the list. No, not that list. What I’m about to show you is not a coincidence. It’s not a fluke. It’s not a whoopsie. It’s the same six Democrats caving twice this year and handing the Republicans the… Watch the video.

Insane Films 2026-03-01 – Remember Unlike Every Other Modern Country
And remember, unlike every other modern country, including yours, we don’t have universal health care. Health care is not a right in the United States because in America, civil rights grow out of property rights, whereas in Europe and the UK, they grow out of the concept of human dignity. And you get very different leg… Watch the video.

Orange Sabbath
In our fast-paced and politically charged world, it seems like every day is filled with an endless stream of turmoil and chaos. I, too, crave a moment of peace, a chance to catch my breath amid the constant barrage of information and influence. Today, I’m excited to announce the launch of my video, “Sabbath.” In this powerful video, I articulate a longing shared by many. I ask for just a single day off from what I describe as a deluge of “unhinged, truth social diarrhea,” from the tiring petulance of executive power plays and crippling tariffs that impact our daily lives. It’s a heartfelt plea for one day of relief from the stress that surrounds us. Underneath this wish for respite is a deep-seated frustration. I liken the current state of affairs to a suffocating cesspool, where a narcissistic tyranny looms large. It’s a call to step away from the psychological warfare that demands fear and loyalty as if we are all unwilling members of some strange cult. The point is clear: even the divine, in their infinite creativity, recognized the necessity of a Sabbath—a day of rest and reflection. Yet here we are, caught in a cycle where such simple peace seems almost impossible to find. This video is a must-watch for anyone who feels overwhelmed by the constant press of daily life. It masters the art of voicing the unspoken frustrations we all feel and highlights the universal human need for a break from the madness. Join me in watching “Sabbath” and reflect on the importance of taking time for oneself, even if just for a day. Check out “Sabbath” and share your thoughts. Can we collectively strive for a day of rest amid the chaos? Are we asking for too much, or is this something attainable if we come together for change? Let’s start this conversation.

Healthcare Horror Stories: Phyllis
In this, Episode 1 of Healthcare Horror Stories, Phyllis shares her harrowing experience dealing with United Healthcare. Despite having what seemed like top-tier coverage, Phyllis faced repeated denials for a medically necessary hysterectomy due to severe uterine fibroids. After extensive efforts, including detailed and blunt descriptions of her struggle, she finally got approval, only for the insurance company to reverse its decision post-surgery, leading to financial and emotional turmoil. Phyllis’s story highlights systemic issues within the U.S. healthcare system and the frustration many Americans feel when faced with insurance denials. She calls for legislative changes and increased public awareness to ensure better healthcare for all.
