When you're watching sporn videos like this one...

... do you ever think "I wish I was doing that, I could do it better..."

There's SUCH a lot that comes out of these ear blackheads and it's very obviously not a medical professional, just makes me watch tensely and wish I could grab the tweezers and do it!!

Me too and I get all impatient with bad camera work!!

Has anyone noticed with ear blackheads there tends to be two close together that seem linked under the skin like some sort of weird blackhead tunnel?

Yes, stop bloody poking it with tweezers and PULL!

Ah but it's a dilated pore of winer so if you pull with tweezers it'll just break off in tiny chunks

What you need to do is get right underneath it to pull the bugger out

Which is what they were sort of doing, to dig around it - but what they needed to do was get a curette and really poke around to scoop it all out. Much more satisfying

not that I have given this way too much thought

I watched this very same video last night on YouTube. I'd started off watching cake decorating, somehow ended up watching blackheads being popped and ended up watching almost all of Sandra Lee's back catalogue. I went to bed after 3am and dreamed about YouTube . But yes, Yanbu, I did sometimes wish they'd hurry up and get to the good bit!

Dear God
Are we sure they weren't digging his brain out!!

Yes I've seen that one before, it's a good un. The music's funny.

Wow - that was great towards the end!

That was frustrating, I'd have moved a bit quicker!

They did drag it out a bit.
Now, would that fill up again?
I was thinking, they need to put something on it to try and close the pores. Probably an ongoing thing though.

@IHaveACuntingPlan are you me? I regularly lose evenings to the YouTube cake decoration / sporn nexus! Can't decide if my love for these two genres is connected in some way or just a coincidence

It might be connected Freesias - the contents of some spots do look similar to buttercream icing

The end of that is just sooo good! Particularly liked the bit where all the gunk was shoved from the right hole up through the left. Thank you Wonder for posting!

And when they do whole areas, they do them in the wrong order, inefficiently, and sometimes squash inflamed ones while doing ordinary ones. Makes me grit my teeth.

I want those tweezers.
