The internet never ceases to surprise me. I’m continually coming across things on the internet that offer an interesting glimpse into the life of someone else, for better or worse. A few months ago I found a web series on YouTube called “Things My Wife Makes Me Buy,” and it’s interesting in the way rubbernecking a car wreck is interesting.
The videos are uploaded by a user, “Zookababy,” and while I know very little about his life (attempts to contact him failed), I feel like I know a lot about his wife’s. In a nutshell, “Things My Wife Makes Me Buy” is a series of videos where Zookababy opens packages his wife ordered from QVC (and sometimes other places) and he gives his color commentary. It sounds fantastically boring, but it became a quick favorite of Maria and myself.
Zookababy just wants his wife to not buy pointless/duplicative things she doesn’t need off QVC, and he decided to share his pain with the world by starting a YouTube channel. Below are a few of my favorite videos from “Things My Wife Makes Me Buy.”
