Every time I print out particularly happy/cute pictures of my kids I worry that they look too much like childhood photo montage pics from intervention. I really gotta keep from dying in a car wreck or allowing them to get molested by a neighbor 'cause I can see where this is going.

They're apparently bringing it back either this year or next.

The fentanyl lollypop girl (who was a bit Hollywood actress) is the saddest one, since apparently her addiction fried her brain to the point where she's about 40 and will have to be in assisted living the rest of her life.

The scope of disaster can be huge with hoarders. one dude had 2000 rats in his house - says he started with three and they "just got away from him".

I remember huffing something once as a teenager. I got hilariously high for about 14 seconds. Afterwards I realised that was pretty clearly dangerous and not worth it. How the hell does one get addicted to that?

Intervention isn't as good as it used to be like 9 years ago. We used to always sit around and watch it while drinking and smoking bowls before heading out to the bar to underage drink on a Thursday night. The irony wasn't lost on us.


One of my favorites was the lady who was addicted to duster and would go to one of those office supply stores, like Office Max or something, and buy a whole cart full of canned air. People would give her weird looks and she would snap back at them "IT'S NOT ILLEGAL!"

[ASK] me about OS/2 Warp
My dad is literally one of those hiding-vodka-airplane-bottles-everywhere alcoholics that lost his family and wife and home and everything and Intervention helped educate me on some of the bullshit he was going to throw my way

Like, you can't help but think "ok where is the camera crew, is this season 7, can we reshoot from the top so you get my good side" when your pops calls you asking to cover a hot rent check

I think that line might be in the south park episode about towlie that she inspired.

i know the "I'm walking on sunshine" line was

it's both the best intervention and south park

i have no idea but i feel like huffing things, out of all drugs, will erase your entire cognitive array in short loving order

I think the mechanism behind the actual high is oxygen deprivation.

At least other drugs interact with the brain rather than just make it stop working.

Hahahaha she doesn't give a gently caress.

The only times I can't watch these is when the substance abuse is their way of getting over their hosed up or aggressively boring families, who then use the intervention to act all sanctimonious and only make things worse.

Not much fun
Hoarders is better because I feel less guilty about laughing at those people. They're usually completely gross and have no real excuse for ending up that way. Plus you've got episodes such as fat southern Augustine which are just classics.

I do love keyboard duster girl though. And one episode of Intervention taught me that you can get drunk by mixing orange juice and antibacterial hand gel together.

I had a buddy that watched this show or something like it, and his favorite parts were the episodes where hot chicks were like one hit away from being tore up meth heads. He got some kind of sick pleasure from that poo poo. I don't know where I was going with this, but his obsession always seemed kind of hosed up to me.

They should have had a crossover episode. Like someone with an out-of-control bong collection, and the cleanup crew has to with a straight face make him choose which bongs are really special to him to keep while he talks about how amazingly high he got on each one, and they have to make multiple trips to the dump to avoid carrying a feloniously-high number of drug paraphernelia items at once.

i liked the guy that was having a sexual relationship with his car, which he named "chase"

not only did he decide it was cool to have sex with his car, he also decided that his car was a dude and that he was gay for his dude car
