@[email protected] Can I say that I really appreciate how you don't fall back on memes in your videos like so many youtube editors seem to. So seeing multiple stacked memes in your thumbnail had me laughing even before I saw the video.

I'm guessing this commenter lives in that "culture" so it didn't even register that you're mocking the format.

@[email protected] Damn. I'd almost think that the reply is itself a form of satire. But then again: I've been around long enough to know that people this thick exist.

@[email protected] i still remember how i was confused at first but after a few seconds i couldn't stop laughing, especially after i noticed that license plate read justcars (i am starting laughing again)

Not sure if their comment is 🙄 or 🤣 ....why not both?!

@[email protected] heh, maybe that comment is satire, at least, one can hope!

“EXPLAIN THE JOKE TO ME!!1!"

Back when I used to post to YouTube, I learned to turn off comments; I see nothing much has changed.

@[email protected] even if only 1% of the population are pure idiots, that’s still 10000 pure idiots once you reach a million viewers. The law of numbers make it impossible to avoid them!

(That’s why I hate comments once the audience gets big enough)

I see lots of "YouTubers" saying they never read comments after one or two days. For exactly that reason.
Lots of people just don't get satire, sarcasm, or irony. There have been a few studies on the subject. Their brains are just not wired for it.
I suspect something similar is going on with giant truck owners and empathy! 😉

@[email protected] That video was convincing enough. You OBVIOUSLY are in love with the Dodge RAM. (In fact, I was wondering how you, as a dad, would react if a son came out to you at 16 with a preference for the Ford F150 instead of Dodge RAM 🙂

(In fairness, someone who hadn't watched all your videos might have taken the DodgeRAM video litterally, you were convincing enough. Anyone who followed you would know out far out of character you were (and that made it so funny, especially with the pills

@[email protected] half the people you meet are below average

Haha I'm sure this buddy is all upset by the rest of your videos, and was super excited to find you posted one that "proved yourself wrong".

Odds are good he posted his comment after spending over $200 filling up his oversized pickup truck.

Don't you know? A thumbnail of a guy pointing with his mouth open is the sign of a journalist.

@[email protected] Solution: assume they understood the video and are also joking, but failed to make their joke clear.

@[email protected] probably didn't even watch the video before commenting. This is probably one of, if not THE first videos of yours i watched and i still understood the satire.

@[email protected] I actually looked the guy up on youtube and all his videos are about trains. Perhaps his comment was sarcasm? But then his Pinterest is all weird "based" crap from video games to war memes to salt bae?

Am I missing something?

@[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.

@[email protected] Life is too short to care about people with zero sense of humour.

@[email protected] hoho boy do you have egg on your face!

@[email protected] that's kind of impressive, actually! 😂

@[email protected] Off topic, still; It is one of my favorite video of yours.

@[email protected] Some people have an irony deficiency.

@[email protected] Reminds me of musician Andrew Huang who did a video series "from space" and then had to explain to people that no, he didn't actually go to space lol

@[email protected] Idk, thats a real gotcha there... if car no good, why car?

@[email protected] it's not that people don't get satire, it's that with that piece of information you already have an opinion, and you're mad and you write the comment. I felt that when I saw the thumbnail, but I said to myself "it can't be true" and moved on.

@[email protected] lol! As pointed out elsewhere this just proves you are reaching a wide audience. Take it as a compliment.
Oh & enjoy the truck you sell out ;-P

@[email protected] Bet they never even watched it, just commented on the thumbnail.
