My sons and I were watching tiny houses last night and I burst out laughing as I usually do on a weekly basis. They looked at me like, “shut the hell up” but a little less intense. Honestly I think they are finally realizing this weekly outburst isn’t going anywhere. I just think of shit and start laughing. I grabbed my phone, tapped the Pinterest app and queried House Hunters funnies. I could barely get the words out as I read the funny memes to my sons. It shows a couple then explains what they do for a living and what their ridiculously high budget for a home is. A few of those along with other hilarious memes are on my Funny Meme Board so check it out! Feel free to even follow the board! I promise, you won’t be disappointed. The boys now understood why I was laughing so hard.
After finding about 5, I was disappointed to realize there weren’t anymore. Like the 59th minute of Walking Dead where you don’t want it to end, I didn’t want these to end either. So what does one do? Why, one makes her own. Below are a few I came up with along with the ridiculous “wish lists”, you cringe at when they rattle through it. Have you ever sat through one of those and not exclaimed, “Oh yeah right! Good luck with that one.”
House Hunters Be Like……
But then you have the other end of the spectrum. People who have virtually no budget and want EVERYTHING. Here is my take on it.
So let’s have some more fun! In the comments, make up your own House Hunters introduction. Tell me what you and your real/pretend spouse does and what your budget is! The wilder, the better! I can’t wait to read them!!!
P.S. If you want more posts I’ve written about House Hunters (because there is so much comedy in those episodes), you can find them here:
House Hunters Cliches/Observations
House Hunters and Entertaining
Property programmes must be popular everywhere and I always wonder how the presenters keep smiling and don’t push them off the glorious balcony or down the ‘cellar with great potential’. The people with the biggest budget will never find their dream house and viewers love to hate them as they turn their nose up at a country mansion because the Victorian stable block is not quite right for their studio.
OMG….isn’t that the truth! That is so hilarious! Victorian Stable! OMG! And wouldn’t that be funny if they did push them down. Like they could have a house hunters where the host is like “really? Really ass hole? There aren’t granite tops so your skipping over this one?”
I have never seen this show…I feel like I need to add it to my list of shows to watch lol
Oh yes…please do it!! I watched cheapest weddings (and loved it btw). You have to watch house hunters, just so you can get the joke.
I will add it to the list!
Good!
I think the same things but we have different programmes and budgets etc here in the UK.
My daughter has found a whole channel devoted to property programmes – with the excuse of being 8 months pregnant she was watching a whole house being built in the USA – every piece of wood sawn, screw driven in etc. a bit like a barn raising- while in Australia my relatives love watching English property programmes!
I love property programmes. I do find some people’s expectations and budgets ludacris though!
Totally. I find the couples (especially the women) annoying too often times. Like, throat punch annoying.
A whole house? Did she get bored? So wait, are you in Australia?
No, daughter didn’t get bored. To be honest it was an extension – but the size of a whole house and I was pretty impressed when the whole wooden frame was hoisted up! We’re
in England, but spent my teen years in Australia – my Dad designed his own house and put it up in my sister’s back garden!
That’s so awesome! Thank you for sharing!
And Rachael, are the couples ridiculous as they are here in the states?
They often are. They have weird jobs and massive budgets. Some of the houses are just insane! Not every programme is like that though. I like the ones where it’s more of a normal budget!!
Do you have trailers/trailer parks over there? I want to do a satire on house hunters and have couples tour 3 ghetto-tastic trailers. Maybe one even has a meth lab in it.
We have caravan parks. Some people live in them all the time some go on holiday to them!
Caravan parks! Well that sounds far classier than our trailer parks. I think it also sounds like our caravan parks are far worse. Now we have camp grounds where people bring huge campers but I’m talking about the permanent homes where land of the misfits go.
Oh, I laughed out loud at this! I have only watched maybe two episodes of this show and both at the nail salon when I treat myself to a manicure. But I definitely had that moment of WHAT! What the frick do you do for a living and why do you REALLY need a pot filler? How many people do you have coming over on a regular basis?
Here’s mine: I’m a professional Band Aid enthusiast and my partner walks hedgehogs for a living. We also have a successful side-hustle doing foot massages for poodles. Our budget is $2 million.
NO….YOU……DIDN’T!! OMG, that was amazing Angela! Why don’t you do a post and make up some? You would be great at it! Let me know if you do b/c I definitely want to read it!!! Band-Aid Enthusiast! OMG!!
ha! I’m glad you liked it–you inspired me.
You were totally funny!
I don’t know, based on how much I was paying for childcare, the one with the at home center might actually be plausible. 🙂
“We’re looking for a tiny house with lots of storage and room for entertaining.” THEY WHY THE FUCK ARE YOU GETTING A TINY HOUSE!?
Even worse are the vacation house hunters. They HAVE to have granite, and stainless steel, and heated floors, and a wood burning fireplace (NOT GAS… god forbid!), oh and 14 bedrooms just in case the family wants to come visit, but we’ll only use it a couple weeks out of the year.
I wish there was a GIF function b/c right now I’d be selecting one of someone shaking their head or saying “PREACH!”. You totally nailed it. When I hear idiotic statements like that, it makes me smile to know that programs such as those are full of blog post ideas. Think of their idiocy as a gift to us that needs exploited.
This is so funny and so right on. My husband and I teach tennis, we have a $900,000 budget. That’s not made up. That was a real episode.
Omg! Where do they get the money from? Wtf?!?! I want to teach tennis for that salary!
Now that I think about it, it wasn’t ? Hunters but Property Brothers. But still I’d like to earn that kind of money for teaching tennis…if I knew how.
Yeah cause the irony would be I’d attempt to teach lessons and in the end, I’d owe them money! I got drunk a while back and commentated on a Tiny House Hunter (and recorded all my comments), who not only wanted to live in her tiny house, but sell clothing in it too.
Was that the one who bought an airstream trailer?
Omg, yes!!
