I like this new use of washed-up comedians! They should do this everyday!

well its not about doing the cleaning. because she was alone she got depressed, gived herself up and started to collect gabage. this woman is very depressed and sucked into the life of the messy (people with pathological hoarding syndrom). this guy do not help her. obversely, he makes things worse. she will start to shame herself more and seclude herself completly from the society. what she needs is another home(where she cant bring her old collection with her), friends/family and a work.

I’ve seen followups to these progs in the past, and you are pretty much bang on the money. What these people need cleaned out is their skulls, not their homes.

What about the rest of the house? How can I sleep knowing that a place like that exists? Must clean the house….

Give it a month or two, and it will be the same trash heap it was before the cleaning. People like the old lady are mental, and without serious psychiatry work, they will never be “normal”.

Only if this is the first old Japanese lady you have ever seen. I’ve seen some bend over double. This is why it is not a good idea to spend all your years hunched over a low table or weeding rice.

Am I the only one creeped out by the extreme back hump?

It’s probably less to do with her not knowing how to, but more to do with the shock of losing her husband and her mother in such a short space of time.

I feel bad for that lady. Some people really don’t know how to do some of the more basic tasks in life, like cooking and cleaning. If they’re cut off from the ones who do it for them, they spiral down very fast. It was very nice of this random comedian guy to come help her out, even if she didn’t realize he was helping.

Best argument I can think of for not employing a cleaning lady even if you can afford one. And for nagging your kids to clean up their own space.

It was a commercial break that wasn’t cut out cleanly.

If the promise of yakiniku was enough to get her to have the yard cleaned, what will it take to clean the house?
