Weatherman Wipeout (6 sec)

It gets funnier the more times you watch it. I don't know why.

^And yet here it is, on the Sift, in the Top 15. Who cares if it's fake? If it made a few people laugh then that's all that matters. As of this moment, 54 people found it laugh-worthy. Maybe they're not good enough to be members of VideoSift, I suppose.

God, when did all the FAKE! trolls leave YouTube and come here?

So I'm not just a troll, I'm also an asshole?

This is what I wrote:

Fake.

From the lack of production value to the poor framing to the lack of channel to the unnecessary fade to the rainbow screen.


So if I understand you correctly, these qualitative observations constitute assholery?

^What did you not understand about about my last statement? It's a fake, obviously. This video is about being able to laugh. Period. End of story. Can you NOT even laugh at a fake? I can. Can you? Obviously not. You'd rather be smugly satisfied in declaring "FAKE!" than even remotely surrender a mild guffaw at an entertaining parody. Oh well; 'tis your call. If it gives you orgasms to write "FAKE!" then I won't hold it against you. Lord knows you have greater issues to deal with besides me.

See, I think you're backpedaling here. You, after all, did label it 1sttube.

And actually, yes, it's hard for me to laugh at staged material, especially under the guise of being genuine. I laugh all the time at pratfalls in the gamut of comedies I watch or when it happens live before my eyes, but when a video pretends to be something it isn't, it loses all its charm, and is considerably unfunny to me.

What is fun for me is breaking down the video on what specifically tipped me off. It's a fun analysis. Apparently I'm not the only one (it's the most upvoted comment).

I think the issue here might be your intolerance for people who don't share your sense of humor.

^Fake.

(And actually MarineGunrock's comment also has 5 votes. I guess trolls are bad at math too. )

6 upvotes (1 downvote) vs. 5 upvotes. Most upvotes. 6 > 5.

You really have a way of knowing how to get your ass handed to you.

Not the net vote total, the number of upvotes. Simply making the point that my viewpoint was quite popular despite assertions otherwise that labeled me both a troll and asshole.

My "belligerence" is simply holding a mirror up to my lambasters. Calling out "troll" is the new troll, n'est-ce-pas?

^ haha do you really think so? cool then To me it just seemed like it all got a bit serious, considering there is no way even a fake vid with this content (funny, silly, slapstick) should cause any controversy or have such vehement calling out. The tone of the fake cry was the issue here, not the calling it fake itself. But you know, yay for freedom of speech and all that!
