Videos these days. Mute actual audio footage, put some shit music track over, put silly laugh track over, make huge borders with useless space around the video, put title+smiley emote + skull emote (to imply you ded laughing) above the video and for better effect more emotes inside the footage as overlay. Then reupload it until it loses all pixels.

FFS yes PLEASE stop allowing that shit. Laugh tracks were invented to tell people when to laugh because most of the shit on TB wasn’t funny enough to warrant an actual laugh. Do we really need to be told to laugh….i vote that mods should auto ban out of protest

Keep the circus music. It's infinitely better than the brain rot TikTok music that's everywhere. But I thought we were past the mid-2000's laugh tracks glued over videos.

Even just sitting there and assessing the composition of the video, it's an abomination. 50% of the screen is white, actual video is for some reason relegated only to the bottom half of the screen. Useless caption with emojis. That wasn't enough to get a point across so here's 3 more laughing emojis overlaid on the video content. Stupid persistent laugh track.
We're going to be watching videos the size of a postage stamp with 95% of of the screen dedicated to solid colour and an army of emojis, mispelled useless text and multiple deep fried, distorted hysterical laugh tracks.

All it was missing was incorrect subtitles.
8
u/Numina_ 7d ago
I've been thinking about this. Non-english speakers who are learning through immersion by consuming a large amount of videos that have these crappy auto-generated subtitles are a little bit fucked in the long run. It struggles with British and Scottish accents, generally will butcher a turn of phrase or things like a place or a persons name.
They're not reliable but the learner may not know any better, and I get the feeling in a few years time there'll be a few conversationally fluent people who will carry and exhibit these mistakes without even realising it.
5
u/Yarakinnit 7d ago
The annoying thing for me is that subtitles in general are for people who are hard of hearing/deaf, yet this trend of single word subtitles makes them next to useless for their primary purpose. The fact that they are plastered right in the middle of the clip, forcing me to watch for their inevitable self butchery, is the crappy icing on the crappy cake.
Agree that they're a terrible way to learn another language.
Watching The Simpsons while on holiday is far superior :D3
u/Beg-Cat-31111111 7d ago
FYI: Often these crappy subtitles are not auto-generated. They're wrong on purpose to bait some engagement in the comments trying to point out how bad they are or to correct them. It's a pretty common engagement bait tactic, same with censoring a random word like saying "ban*na" to spark controvery in the comments as to why it is censored.

For some reason Indians who post these prank videos love adding these corny laugh tracks on top of the videos, if you've ever seen the Indian prank side of YouTube it's literally every video. It's so cringey and hard to watch.

I thought it was just the cameraman sitting there laughing at first but about halfway through it changes to random set shots obviously setup by the mime but the laughing stays the same. It really ruined it for me.

Life's a fucking funny thing. You know, if it's true that when you die, you get to go back through your life and relive all the moments for eternity, then I want some moments in there where I'm just dying laughing. I fake laugh every day for ten minutes, so that when I die and relive life's little moments, all I see is happy times.

He chooses people with walks he KNOWS he can mimic.
You see slight shifts in people as they are about to do certain movements. Like a boxer who can dodge a punch after baiting that exact punch. He primes his targets into doing certain movements. He steps into their blind spot, knowing how people usually reacts. If anyone of these would have reacted in an unconventional way, the mirroring wouldn’t have been as smooth.
I use this as misdirection when I do sleight of hand. Bait a look to the left, do something on the right.
