Watching Jeffrey Dahmer’s first disturbing interview

Breakfast Serial

105,308 views

Jeffrey Dahmer gave very few on-camera interviews before his death, but his Inside Edition interview with Nancy Glass remains one of the most disturbing.
In this episode of Press Play, I watch and react to Dahmer’s first television interview, where he talks about control, obsession, cannibalism, his so-called “zombie” experiments, the murders, his prison conversion, and whether he believed he would have kept killing if he had never been caught.
This one is unsettling because Dahmer doesn’t sound like someone losing control in the moment. He sounds calm. Detached. Almost clinical. And that might be the most disturbing part.
I also get into the questions this interview raises:
Was Dahmer truly remorseful?
Was he taking responsibility or just explaining himself?
Did police failure help him keep killing?
And what do we do with his claim that he found God behind bars?
Drop your thoughts in the comments. Do you think Dahmer was being honest in this interview, or was this just another form of manipulation?

It's criminal that the police didn't record their 60+ hours of interviews with Dahmer. Can you imagine what he must've said that wasn't included in the confession?

The reason for 999 years was probably a practical one. The data entry system probably only had three placeholders for the length of the sentence.

Wisconsinite here. We are NOT a death penalty state and we weren't at the time of Dahmer's arrest

If you ever watched or read "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory" it seems to be a pretty ghastly job... All the bodies to dispose after Willy Wonka went on a spree again.

17:34 no lol a Bathhouse was a unique piece of 90s gay hookup culture where people would often engage in group sex or meet partners to go home with, they got phased out in the AIDS epidemic because they were Super-Spreaders

Maybe serial killing is exactly like other addictions. You can quit it with great effort, but if you don't stay vigilant, it can creep back up on you. Hence big gaps for BTK. Or it can take more than one to get you hooked like Dahmer. As a sober person myself, this sounds exactly like trying to stay sober, but without proper vigilance, slips can happen and drag you right back down.

Man, I love these videos in which you react to interviews. Your commentary is a perfect mix of educated statements, personal observations and jokey jokes. Love.

It's so annoying how the media tries to turn these guys like Bundy and Dahmer into cartoon tv demons just because they can string together a sentence and are semi attractive when you squint in the dark

44:41 It’s odd to hear so many questions being asked in search of an emotional response, when the person they’re asking doesn’t have the typical emotions the rest of us do. She’s searching for answers she’ll never get and asking the completely wrong questions to truly delve into the mind of someone like this. If he can kill and dismember someone, then take their head to work with him and keep it in his locker during his shift, we’re never going to see him regret that. His only regrets are the mistakes he made that led to him getting caught. He can’t empathize with the loss of the families because their loved ones meant nothing to him outside of their usefulness to his compulsion.

If I ever made a movie about a killer, Id ask you for the main part.

6:15 as if Jeffrey is going to go “THANK GOD it isn’t a 1000 years only the low price of 999 years!”
😂

I think it's interesting that he says that pornography is not one of the things to blame his actions on. I wonder if that is a response to Ted Bundy blaming pornography for the things that he did.

If you notice, every time he says something shocking, he stares the interviewer in the eyes. To see her reaction, he does this in every interview. I think he enjoys telling people what he did. I don’t think he feels bad about any of it.

The nonchalant and matter of fact way he describes the most despicable and heinous crimes that one could imagine is truly spine chilling.

It was a senators daughter in Silence of the Lambs I think. Just happened to be, not targeted.

@Stroheim333 4 months ago (edited)

Is there any photo or video with Jeffrey Dahmer actually smiling? His expression seems to me to be constantly flat, even depressed, he never even tried to invent any excuses for his behavior. Unlike Ted Bundy, who pretended to feel and express everything he though was expected in every situation.

Also, just wanted to comment on the enjoyable distinction between your videos and now commonplace low effort content that’s encompassed true crime. It feels like so many videos are now just body cam/interrogations with AI narration on the “horror” of the event, if not just entirely AI. Instead, this channel offers unique topics - the “True Detective” video comes to mind - and, even in “reaction” videos, includes unexpected commentary not available anywhere else. Plus, the sheer variety of content, visual narrative, and use of actual cinematography is remarkable - definitely deserving of attention and such a joy! So happy to be a member!
