When Reddit Advice Goes Fully Unhinged

Humor Highwire: Smart Laughs, Dumb Debates, and Everything in Between

We found a Reddit post so vile, so infested, and so shockingly middle class, we had to break it down on air. A 15-year-old writes in begging for advice—his home is crawling with maggots, rats, flies, and more, and his parents couldn’t care less. Naturally, Reddit’s top advice? Call CPS.

What starts as a comedy segment on pest control and bad parenting spirals into a second Reddit post about a 17-year-old girl who just lost her boyfriend—and now finds herself pregnant. With grief-stricken Christian parents on both sides and no clear path forward, the gang tries to unpack how Reddit responded… and why some of those responses are genuinely disturbing.

This is Reddit advice at its absolute weirdest, and we’re here for every bug-infested, morally-questionable moment.
