Unbelievably cringey YouTube stuff

[Retinend]

It's real, somehow. This is his step sister who was probably extorting money from him.

I clicked the first link in the thread jumped forward a bit and then closed it almost immediately.

My gut fucking curdles when some tit starts talking to the camera in that exaggerated, one-eyebrow-raised, "Hey baby"; 'I think I'm being sexy for the ladies' kind of voice.

Do they have no awareness of what they're doing? Do they not think to check what they look and sound like before clicking 'Send'?

People like this fully deserve to have their future haunted by their own smarmy cloying desperation videos, they should have a little screen surgically grafted onto their shoulder with it played over and over whenever he gets within 6 feet of a female.

That Moses kid may not have shot up a school yet but give him time, he's got the haircut for it.

What's the verdict on this?

It was a bad time for Nadia Sawalha.

I'm essentially just reposting from that bodybuilding forum now, but this is one area where I can get behind their philosophy of open-air bullying. Some people need to get a grip:

One of Morris' less successful vox pops. (Seriously though, has this guy not been cautioned for harassment already?)

"NOTHING AGAINST GAYS BUT IM NOT GAY IM NOT LOOKING FOR A ROMANTIC RELATIONSHIP OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT WITH A MAN"


this is good.

That kid is definitely a worry. Someone needs to just ban his Facebook account and get him into some therapy to talk out what's going on and get some control back in, because that many statuses like that aren't healthy.

That said, guys, why don't I have a girlfriend?

I'm more worried about the stalkerish behaviour of the facebook friend of his who saved all of his statuses so they could take the piss.

An infuriatingly pathetic guy on the US version of Blind Date

[clingfilm portent]

Oof I remember this. The first time, I couldn't make it any further than the kiss, though every part was agony.

Watching it now-- I can't believe how much he touches her. I don't know what's worse, that or his desperate lovey-dovey bullshitting. Don't know how I made it to the end. It's like Saw.

[BritishHobo]

Do they do those horrible, gaudy speech bubbles in every episode? I feel like I'm watching a child using editing software for the first time. Hey, I can make it look like my dog is thinking funny things!!!!

[Weeping Prophet]

I can't make it to the end. I just can't.

I'm pretty sure everything that ginger guy does has been a joke on his part.

[Retinend]

(re US Blind Date) I thought the on-screen stuff was funny, at least very canny and less easy-going than the stagey old Cilla Black shows.

I'm pretty sure everything that ginger guy does has been a joke on his part.

Not saying you're wrong, but people always say that. How come?

[Sexton Brackets Drugbust]

Not saying you're wrong, but people always say that. How come?

In that particular video, he keeps corpsing during 'character' eruptions. He knows.

[BritishHobo]

I'm pretty sure everything that ginger guy does has been a joke on his part.

The reaction to him has been one of the things that's just made me feel exhausted and frustrated by the internet. Fucking horrible stuff sent his way because of a video where he makes a totally fair point.

I do hope it is a joke he's in on.

I'm pretty sure, if you look far enough into the youtube stuff, there's a point where the comments start to acknowledge that he's 'trolling' everyone with his character.

Also Mary doesn't even look hard to talk to. Somehow she's accepting enough to never loose her fake smile all the way through, and at the end to even give the guy some sound advice. What's weird is that all the forced touching and the hair-kiss is absolutely not sexual in any way. It's almost "coochy-coochy-coo." He almost says "I got your noooose" at 3:40.

[clingfilm portent]

Also Mary doesn't even look hard to talk to.

Haha thats maybe the biggest tragedy.

Are any more of these Blind Dates worth watching? I'd look for myself but, y'know. Laziness.

Ain't it though. She stays easy to talk to throughout and remains polite even after his more cringeworthy excesses. She has the patient of a saint and I only hope watching his behaviour back made the guy change his toe curlingly awkward ways.

This shit has been popping up on my facebook today.

What a sanctimonious prick. I genuinely loathe people who think they've figured out something nobody else gets then make things like that so they can lecture others on where they've gone wrong. And that maudlin soundtrack can fuck right off, too. I'm glad he was looking down at his phone. I hope next time he steps out into the path of a fast moving lorry. I hope it takes his face off.

[Thomas]

Yeah, I've seen that shared. Black Mirror as a shit poem. It can jog on. I've 'met' all you glorious people through the door-shutting illusion of technology, thanks.

'We're a generation of idiots, smartphones, and dumb people.'

ah mate sums it up really sums it up it really does

[BritishHobo]

Yeah, some of those clips were right out of the most half-arsed dystopian film ever created.

It's essentially one of those e-mail forwards about life being better in the undefined 'past', basing its view of the old days on sentimentality, and its view of the new days on jaded generalizations, not realizing its his own mind that's changed, not the world. It's been a lovely weekend and I've seen kids playing outside all over the place. Playgrounds stacked full of the little bastards, so piss off with your shit about swings sitting still. Also it's an arbitrary distinction saying someone's a shit dad 'cos his son's got an iPad - would he be a better dad if his son was playing with wooden toys? Kids always spend time alone, playing in their rooms, it's just that now they're using technology, and technology BAD.

I love the sudden swerve into Up territory though, going from their meeting through their marriage and children right up until the wife dies. Doing flashback clips to something we saw literally thirty seconds earlier, as if we're going to think "Oh my god, how far we've come!" And NOOOO, he's on his phone, and they never meet! Old Thingybob, and Whatshername, they never get married and have that girl baby who's walking with a backpack at one point! Oh god, technology is terrible, let's make a bonfire in the town square and just throw our computers on it!

[Thomas]

And NOOOO, he's on his phone, and they never meet!

I started speaking to the girl who is my girlfriend through social media, about six years ago. In an alternate reality, though, I was out walking along some cliffs with my twee friends, and we all fell off and died.

Presumably that's what this poet would prefer, mm? Mmm? Well? Is it?

[Artemis]

Buying a computer and wanting to protect it made me by a surge protector which protects against bursts of electricity and the impact that has. In an alternate reality, the national grid fucks up and I get killed by a kettle.

Yeah, I quite agree that it's that sort of mawkish ill-defined nostalgia about 'kids building bases' and life being better without t'internet that grates on me, because it's no kind of argument, is it. I don't know what kind of baron neighbourhood for the retired and terminally ill he lives in, but my local park is chock full of brats pretty much every hour the sun's shining and school is closed. Maybe they just run for cover when they see him coming because the lack of appeasement his sexual urges are getting through internet porn has turned him into a registered sex offender. Who knows, but his depiction of a world glued to their screens is the kind of A-Level college student revelation re-packaged as a cultural observation that resonates with enough people who've NOTICED that as well, and take back-of-a-matchbox commentary as moments of enlightenment, as long as it reinforces their twee opinions and chimes with their inner sense of self-frustration.

I bet they all think most people get their opinions from the newspapers as well.

[Artemis]

I cringed through this until I couldn't take it anymore.

Ideas worth spreading, there.

[Artemis]

I'm pretty sure everything that ginger guy does has been a joke on his part.

It's a tough call. I get the impression he did one genuine video, realised he was onto something, then exageratted it with each return.

I'm thankful to him mainly for inadvertently creating this, back when Schmoyoho were funny and creative: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jMjcDbYxS3M
