"They are not cute, let’s stop lying to them. They are terrifying because they come from a different universe—the womb. So when they come to earth, they have alien vibes. That is understandable because they’re from a different universe. But let’s be honest, they are scary, no?" he said in the clip, leaving many amused.

Yerik Jomei then turned his focus to the English language, pointing out its confusing rules. Holding up a boot, he explained:

"This is a boot. If there are two or more, it’s boots. But what is this? A foot. If there are two or more, it’s feet. It should be foots! It should be foots," he said dramatically, poking fun at the language’s irregularities.

Moving on to his third point, Yerik Jomei jokingly called out twins. "If you have a twin, you are childish,” he quipped. "Why are there two of you? That’s unfair to us."
