I did dna kit 5 years ago during christmas dinner, after deciding that it would be cool to do for the family. Found out little brother is not dads. No more dna kits. And, no more christmas dinners

[BattNW]

Oh thank God, I thought Julie would find out she was part Canadian.

[JessMan]

My neighbor's kids did one, turned out their mom was not faithful at all. 5 different fathers and they all thought their dad was her husband. Poor dude.

Most shocking part of this video is the Belgian descent thing - I'm from Belgium and I didn't think anyone of us would ever reach world fame again after Jean-Claude Van Damme, but here we are

Only thing better would have been that today's video was sponsored by Oh Yeah!!!

[bobafettjr]

Who could the Kool Aid killer be?

Oh it was Jim Jones. Nevermind.

[shannendawes]

And here I thought no one remembered the Kool-Aid guy bursting through walls. Oh, YEAH! 👍

[bradkirbey]

Funny. Always better to do DNA tests without telling anyone, keeps the serial killers unaware. LOL

[Anujchauhanify]

In all fairness Monica/Julie did get to take the DNA test after all and it might just be me, but I I think Emma might be the Kool Aid killer

i swear if i see you do one more BetterHelp ad i'm going to have to go to therapy

My brother did the whole 23andMe thing and offered it to everyone else in our immediate family group. I passed, but my daughter didn't. Nothing unusual was found, but my Luigi-ing days were over before they even started. Thanks, bro...

[pingidjit]

No, this is why you should never TELL anyone you are doing a DNA testing kit. LOL

[noone-ldpt]

My siblings and I did the DNA heritage test thing. Turns out NONE of us have the same father...
BUT ALSO! It turns out we don't have the same mother!


As a white Norwegian dude I was absolutely baffled to find that my adopted sister and brother from Ethiopia share zero genetic heritage with me!

[danielcomeau]

I'm concerned that DNA results could be used by medical insurance companies to deny payment, or law enforcement could profile affinity to certain crimes and probababilty to repeat offences.

[stoffls]

Oh, poor Monica. She never realized that she was issuing her own death sentence. 😅

[IceWolfLoki]

Plot twist the cops run Monica's DNA anyway and find the familial DNA connection with the Kool-Aid Killer.

[mrstoives]

Did the Cool Aid Killer get to Mirror Julie first? Just saying as she’s not been seen in a while😱🔪

[garethhiley]

Ahhh Julie. You've gone back to Better Health advertising... Thought you'd turned a corner as you haven't used them for a while. Surely you've seen how dodgy they are, and all the reports about data misuse etc? Like the Established Titles scam, you need to move away from them and not be associated with them... I have to assume with the quality of your work you have _some_ other options in terms of sponsorship? Really shouldn't be a brand you want to associate yourself with any more.

[Martial-Mat]

I agree 100% with never doing a DNA test. You literally give the DNA of your entire family to the police. The fact that these companies simply hand over access to what amounts to private medical data to the police, when the police would require a court order to acquire it from you otherwise, is a gross invasion of privacy.

That said, killing a cousin would instantly provide the police with familial DNA.

The irony of you being sponsored by Better Help, a company that was busted selling your private medical data is not lost on me.

If you switch to Capri Sun they'll think it's a second, unrelated killer
