Oh my goodness, this video is so hilarious. We've all been there.
(P.S. And, don't worry, the guys who did the video said, "This makes us look like bullies. We did catch up with everyone and explained what we were doing. Most people were good sports!")
Ok I did laugh at this, but I mostly because it was done all in fun. But in general, I'm not a fan of purposely singling out people to generate a reaction. There was a [very large] group in my city last year that would create a situation and basically scare the bejeezus out a particular person while at least 50 people laughed. I think that's just mean-spirited (and certainly qualifies as bullying).
Daaah, I always feel like a moron when things like this happen to me! One time I waved back and smiled ecstatically at a crush when I thought he was waving at me...turns out it was meant for someone two bleachers above me!
LOL. Love it! I'm pretty awkward so I would have been one of those w/ the hand half-raised, contemplating high fiving the complete stranger.
And I don't think it's mean at all, esp when they explained it to the people afterward. They're just making light of a simple thing that happens to so many people.
Made me laugh too, its just harmless fun. I love the reaction from the girl in the light blue pants. She is totally cringing. I come from a long-line of practical jokers, my dad would love this !
I really don't think it's that funny. Was it part of a class project? I wonder if the people in the video were all okay with it being posted on YouTube?? Just not newsworthy at all.
Okay, I thought that was sooooooo funny! I liked it so much I checked out the other videos by this guy. Did you see the starring at people one?! I think I woke my roommate up because I was laughing so hard. Thanks for sharing!! LOL(for reals)
Ouch, that hurts.

ReplyDeleteHa, guilty! I'm still getting second-hand embarrassment for the people doing the awkward slink-away though.
ReplyDeleteThat's pretty funny! Being on a big campus, this happens all the time! Even just hearing my name and finding out they're talking to someone else!
ReplyDeleteThat's hilarious!!!

Oh man. What are the chances. This happened to me with a coworker today that I saw walking down the street... Thank goodness it's Friday!
ReplyDeleteDaaah, I always feel like a moron when things like this happen to me! One time I waved back and smiled ecstatically at a crush when I thought he was waving at me...turns out it was meant for someone two bleachers above me!
ReplyDeleteHaha. The looks on those faces :)
ReplyDeleteHappy Friday to all!

At the end of the vid all I was thinking was I'd do whatever that guy asked me to because he's so hot.
ReplyDeleteIs it just me, or does the host look a little like Young Justin Timberlake at the end? Middle School Me just swooooooned
ReplyDeleteHaha that's the worst!
ReplyDeletehaha my husband goes to that school! (:
ReplyDeleteUgghhh so uncomfortable, had to turn it off after about 10 seconds...so akward!

ReplyDeleteThis video didn't make me laugh at all.
ReplyDeleteIt's a joke? Then, I think it's a really bad one.
Oh man I'm so awkward. I feel like this happens all the time. lol

ReplyDeleteAwe, so mean. I know it was a joke but still. My heart goes out to those who stuck their hand up.

ReplyDeletethanks for the good laugh :)
ReplyDeletehahaha awww something we can all understand! It's funny but I'm glad they made the people feel better afterwards :) x
ReplyDeleteOuch! I did laugh but I feel bad for those people. If that was me I would be embarassed by that especially when I knew it was fake.
ReplyDeleteHa ha That is totally my college that I attend and I hadn't even seen this! I love it! Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteThat was hysterical and a perfect start to the Friday workday :)
ReplyDeleteLOL. Love it! I'm pretty awkward so I would have been one of those w/ the hand half-raised, contemplating high fiving the complete stranger.

ReplyDeleteAWESOME. I've been there sooo many times. I like the guy in the beginning who took the earbud out.
ReplyDeletehaha! I go to UVU! so glad I wasn't a part of that... hahaha
ReplyDeletefound it completely unfunny, aside from the mean spiritedness
ReplyDeleteShoot, that made me cringe. Haha, good idea in theory but kind of mean-ish in actuality.
ReplyDeleteomg!! i totally go to this school. Utah Valley University- yeah.
ReplyDeleteLove your blog by the way!!
Does this really qualify as "funny"? Two idiots embarrassing strangers and having a laugh at their expense, AND putting it online? It makes me sick.
ReplyDeleteThese best part of this post is that I always suspected based on your posts' comments that you had a lot of Mormon readers, and now I know for sure.
ReplyDelete@ lynn: what about this makes you think the readers are mormon? uvu is in utah. there are many denominations utah.
ReplyDeleteohh! makes me cringe! :)
ReplyDeleteI liken it to The Office. Super uncomfortable to watch, but you CAN'T STOP WATCHING IT! So funny!
