    When will humans stop enjoying painfully staged videos like this? Like, who tilts the object away from themself but towards the camera to check why it’s not working?

      It’s a charicature. I’m not laughing because I think it’s real (which would be kind of mean, anyway, since I’d just be laughing at someone screwing up). I’m laughing because it’s relatable to real experiences many people have had, and because of the added commentary about software development.

      Your hyperfocus on reality in media, and failure to see the comedy for what it truly is, is far more cringe than the video 😉

      EDIT: it’s like asking why people laugh at the obviously fake stories stand-up comedians tell because they’re made up. Like, yeah, no shit, that’s not the point.

        To be fair, I think the majority of stand up comedians are also painful to listen to.

        But you’re right, this is an exaggerated caricature of reality, like Monty Python or the Three Stooges but far less so.

          I appreciate your capacity to recognize a valid argument even when it conflicts with your initial position ❤️ It’s more than I expect from the average internet commenter
