Ad read for BetterHelp discussing mental health, addiction, and Tim joking he'd make a terrible/perfect counselor, tying in cult references like Heaven's Gate and Jim Jones.

In this bit11 moments
  • Someone messaged Tim on Instagram thanking him for promoting BetterHelp because it actually helped them.
  • Tim's audience is criminally insane and mentally ill, including his own mother who is schizophrenic.
  • You don't have to leave your house for counseling because that's where all the problems and underground tunnels are, where you can get snatched up and put in a van.
  • Tim has monetized his insanity, which doesn't give him real motivation to fix any of his problems.
  • Stop telling your problems to shitty friends and family; your family holds you back and smothers you to keep you down.
  • Tim wishes he was a BetterHelp counselor because all people really need is someone to tell them they suck and why.
  • Everyone's got a problem—sex slavery, childhood trauma—but Tim would tell them what for if BetterHelp hired him.
  • Families are for losers and friends are for losers; if you're a loser, go to BetterHelp.
  • People weren't ready for the truth like Jim Jones followers and Heaven's Gate members waiting for a spaceship behind the Hale-Bopp comet.
  • If Tim worked at BetterHelp, his goal would be to turn people into believers willing to drink poison and wait for a spaceship, which is why they haven't hired him.
  • Despite not being hired, Tim still thinks BetterHelp is a great service.
