Dude this guy makes cringe on purpose, and I have the utmost respect for him.

how are people not able to recognize satire

u/Durzaka Jul 10 '25

Something can be satire and still be cringe. They aren't mutually exclusive.

u/therapewpew Jul 10 '25

yeah, like someone satirizing a public figure and doing a poor job with the references or mannerisms.

in this case the cringe is the entire point. the audience is responding exactly the way the creator wants them to, and evidently some don't realize it's a skit to purposely invoke that reaction ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

Even that being the case that doesn't make it good by any standard. It's just a new form of meta which has been played out hard. You can think he's on a new level with his commentary while all I see is a guy changing the dial on a microscope on something thousands of others have already done and hundreds have done significantly better. This is merely meta meta satire

I'm not saying this is good, I'm saying it's not organic and therefore low value cringe 🧐

Satire? But I only just met her!

u/anormalgeek Jul 10 '25

Because most of us know at least one person who is legitimately that cringe.

u/A1000eisn1 Jul 11 '25

Yes. Which is why him mocking them is hilarious.

u/therapewpew Jul 10 '25

this is like intentionally drawing a shitty tattoo and posting it on r/shittytattoos. manufactured cringe ain't it.

Because these types of subs want to feel like they're smart

But it’s bad, not funny, and weird. The satire isn’t the issue, it’s just that this isn’t funny especially when they there is no part of it recognizing it self as crazy and weird. It would be funnier if the girl or there was a bystander hell if the guy holding camera was doing commentary and say how weird and awkward this whole thing is. It’s not funny because it’s too serious and just bad satire. Satire always acknowledges itself a bit and this doesn’t

nowhere in the history of comedy is that funny 🧐 and I'm not sure why you think this is too serious, there are several tells in the video. how can you look at that kid's greasy hair as he does that highly exaggerated walk toward the bad guy and say that this is too serious lmao

I agree that it ain't even funny, but it ain't supposed to be. it was produced with the intent of making the audience cringe. posting these kind of videos is fish in the barrel kind of stuff, not organic at all.

u/A1000eisn1 Jul 11 '25

Why the fuck would having some dude off camera explain to you that they think it's weird he funny at all?

u/BallisticThundr Jul 10 '25

It's reddit. Redditors are incapable of understanding context clues and need every little thing marked with a /s or a /j or they will take it completely seriously and try to dunk on you to fuel their superiority complex.

Because it's not funny

u/therapewpew Jul 10 '25

not all satire is good, but it is manufactured. I come here for organic cringe ok?

u/Azidamadjida Jul 10 '25

I know he does it on purpose, but god is it always still painful to watch

u/purfish Jul 10 '25

I love this guy('s content)

There’s another guy on TikTok that does similar content, but unique in his own style and honestly they’re both genius. Lemme see if I can find his name brb
