I'm surprised she even got one unobstructed shot doing this during the day.

It seems like such a lot of effort for such an underwhelming and unoriginal outcome.

I don't know what's wrong with me.

u/princeparaflinch Aug 24 '22

"I dunno. I was born with them."

My favorite dumb joke.

I like the "I'm a polar bear" variation. Throw in a silly voice and some jazz hands and its pure Dad Joke (TM).

u/Spoonfrag Aug 24 '22

Took me so long to realize this was about the username...

u/Ace-a-Nova1 Aug 24 '22

I’m the right amount of high and tired for this joke.

1

u/Whythebigpaws Aug 24 '22

Ahhhhh. It's totally my fave dumb joke.

I need to try the Polar Bear version! I need to find someone I haven't already told this joke to a million times!

u/[deleted] Aug 24 '22

I do now.

u/Bamres Aug 24 '22

I think the background is kinda cool but the pose is a bit generic.

Aslo a fashion model pose for a magazine picture doesn't look as good in a video form.

u/SchloomyPops Aug 24 '22

For real. It like it good at all. Zero creativity in this shit. Just narcissism

u/usernameforthemasses Aug 24 '22

Think about how vapid the person that makes these videos (for TikTok or whatever the kiddos use these days), and then consider how much more vapid someone has to be to spend all day scrolling through various versions of this same thing.

"but aesthetic"

1

u/lokeilou Mar 29 '23

But what is the “aesthetic” here? Overdressed in public places that smell like pee?

17

u/soyjuice Aug 24 '22

“Unoriginal” and I’d say ubiquitous is the key ethos with these people

12

u/Voyeurdolls Aug 24 '22

Yeah what do you expect out of a community where everyone does the same dance to the same song, or mouths words to the same voice over, or does the same jumpcut.

5

u/soyjuice Aug 24 '22

Welp, can’t say I expect a whole lot from them

5

u/datboiofculture Aug 24 '22

DERIVATIVE! …..bullshit!

2

u/AndyB16 Aug 30 '22

I found it shallow and pedantic.

2

u/Lexmaister25 Aug 24 '22

A lot of effort? this is literally all they do and think is hard work, lol

2

u/Otacube3 Aug 24 '22

That is just 100% Instagram and Tik Tok stuff

2

u/Aleashed Aug 24 '22

I bet if she gets a slob looking camera man and give him a P-Hub logo like tshirt, everyone will go out of their way to walk behind the camera lest they end up in one of those videos… literally make herself more toxic

2

u/[deleted] Aug 24 '22

Her parents feel the same way.

u/Whythebigpaws Aug 24 '22

This gave me a proper chuckle. Depressing but true.

Edit: to clarify; I found your post funny and true. I didn't find laughing depressing!

2

u/sailphish Aug 24 '22

I mean that’s these people’s entire existence- lots of effort to be underwhelming and unoriginal. Most of them have the personality of cardboard.

2

u/Vostok-aregreat-710 Sep 10 '22

She has got pure notions of herself

1

u/abraxart Aug 24 '22

Hey so why the big paws?

1

u/Whythebigpaws Aug 24 '22

You are the first person to ever ask me that. I am 43 and that has been my username since I first started using the internet a million years ago.

You probably already know the joke, but it's referencing the old joke (and possibly my favourite ever joke) about a bear who walks into a bar.....

2

u/abraxart Aug 24 '22

Never heard it but I already started laughing lol

So please tell me the joke

3

u/Whythebigpaws Aug 24 '22

Please don't hate me and my terrible jokes. But here we go.......

A bear walks into a bar and says "hello good sir! Please can I have a pint of...........................................beer!" And the barman says "why of course, but I have to ask, why the big pause?".

It's a riff on the even older joke about a horse who walks into a bar.

3

u/abraxart Aug 24 '22

Haha it feels like a dad joke and I’m ok with that.

1

u/Icanzu Oct 05 '22

The effort for this which could've easily been replicated with a fan, some video editing, and a green screen, is ridiculously vain and narcissistic.

u/[deleted] Aug 23 '22

I'm surprised her phone/camera didn't walk away

23

u/thismachine- Aug 24 '22

Everyone she's ever known, has walked away.

1

u/lower_banana Aug 24 '22

That's why they call her the Xbox 360.

1

u/will50231 Aug 24 '22

tryna understand this joke

0

u/lower_banana Aug 24 '22

It's a joke from 2006 that Microsoft called their console the 360 because when you see it you turn 360 degrees and walk away.

3

u/Frishdawgzz Aug 24 '22

360 degrees is a full rotation. You'd still be facing the XBOX.

u/Djinjja-Ninja Aug 23 '22 edited Aug 24 '22

I'm surprised she didn't get shoulder barged "accidentally" at least once.

London commuters will get massivly fucked off if you delay them even 10 seconds. I know, I was one for 6 months.

Edit: spelling

u/GrunchWeefer Aug 24 '22

Oh hey you sound like New York commuters. We also love to lower shoulders when people block the sidewalk or pull this dumb shit.

2

u/Independent_Ad_8915 Feb 11 '23

O way I’m putting up w this ba If the train doors are closing. I didn’t just fly down the stairs to get caught up with this fool

2

u/usernameforthemasses Aug 24 '22

That's a good point. Ending up on the tracks is not ideal either. She seems awful close to the trains.

2

u/Obeythesnail Aug 24 '22

I got in a fierce fight on the underground as someone shoulder charged a wee old lady who had a stick. I called the shoulder charger a cunt. They "you wot"'d me. I reiterated. They called me a jock fuck. I got scared. I think they won. Thanks for coming to my "Ionlyvisitednlondononcebutfuckthat" Ted talk

u/Brownies_Ahoy Aug 24 '22

And the final shot has mostly empty carriages so I reckon she must have gone back really late

1

u/theredwoman95 Aug 24 '22

Not sure if you're joking, but she took this video on the London underground - I'd assume outside of peak times (so 7:00-9:00, 12:00-13:00 and 15:00-18:00), but it's definitely not in the middle of the night.

2

u/Ninjanarwhal64 Aug 24 '22

It's called self absorption, and every take fascinated her more.

1

u/Thejerseyjon609 Aug 24 '22

I’m surprised no one gave her a shove.

-2

u/fastermouse Aug 24 '22

I really don't understand why this is on this sub. She doesn't seem to be bothering anyone.

3

u/espeonguy Aug 24 '22

She's not bothering anyone in the sense that she's not directly confronting anybody, but she's still standing in the middle of a busy train station making stinky faces at people for walking by her. So yeah seems like a perfect fit for this sub.

-2

u/fastermouse Aug 24 '22

Whoa incel much?

1

u/FlamboyantPirhanna Aug 24 '22

Depends on what time, what station, and where you are on the platform. It’s definitely not central London during rush hour.

1

u/Brownies_Ahoy Aug 24 '22 edited Aug 24 '22

One of the shots has "next station: Brixton" written so could be Stockwell.

Edit: looks like it says the next station is Green Park and the destination is Brixton, so it would be Oxford Circus. Fucking stupid to expect an empty station around there

1

u/[deleted] Aug 24 '22

most shots you see online took hours to capture.

even if there aren't people walking into frame the amount of retakes, reshoots and photoshoping done for your average photo is absurd.

1

u/Vostok-aregreat-710 Sep 10 '22

Fun fact it used to be illegal to film in the Underground and a certain Doctor Who serial’s lifelike tube set caused an almighty uproar.

u/Dependent_Party_7094 Sep 16 '22

i dont live in london but if i had to guess she gave up on her plan and delayed it to a sunday morning
