It pains me, absolutely pains me, how many people out there are completely incapable of understanding satire.

I honestly don't know how anyone could watch this video—actually, not even watch, just see the title and thumbnail for this video—and not realise that it's an obvious spoof.

This also reinforces my belief that the quality of YouTube comments decreases proportionally to how long the video has been released.

@[email protected] Marking messages or content as jokes or satire isn’t uncommon on the internet for that very reason. It doesn’t make the content less funny, just makes it more explicit for people who might not get nuances for many reasons including cultural biases, bad English comprehension, or even neurodivergence in some cases.
