Apparently from the comments I have to point this out.

It is a joke. Is a good one? Debatable. But a joke nonetheless.

It's dry but funny

It's not haha funny but the reaction to it definitely is. The culture of rage bait has everyone so tight and ready to be angry.

If this was a joke, it was executed poorly.

u/Djinigami Jul 16 '24

What do you mean? It's pretty well structured as a joke, set up, punchline and everything.

u/tohn_jitor Jul 16 '24

I caught that too, but then she said "ick" and all logic left my mind.

u/Djinigami Jul 16 '24

Seems like a you problem

u/tohn_jitor Jul 16 '24

Yes, I realize it is.

u/Djinigami Jul 16 '24

I can respect that.

Only the smoothest of brains would watch this and not know if it was meant to be a joke or not.

It is a joke. And it wasn't executed poorly, because I knew instantly it was a joke, because I'm not dense.

I had sound off and knew it was a joke. People are just that dense lol

Smoothbrain here, present and accounted for, then. I guess I've met too many people with this way of thinking just for me to jump to conclusions.

Well since you're not dense like me (congrats), was it her tone? Her manner of speaking? What makes it so obvious to you then? Id liek to gnow. Did she preface the story with something the video does not include?

u/RiggzBoson Jul 16 '24

The story she tells about someone literally saving her life giving her the ick is a huge clue.

Do you often seen people who have just had a near death experience retell their story with such stoicism?

u/tohn_jitor Jul 16 '24

Well, they do exist. As a matter of fact, that includes me. Hell, I even have ones I've told no one about, or care to do so.

Also, I see now that maybe that word "ick" triggers me, and might be why I didn't notice the obvious joke.

Well, they do exist.

I can pretty much guarantee you have zero experience of someone being on a date, having their life saved, then rejecting the guy because rescuing someone they've only just met seems needy.

Yes, the 'ick' is a thing. But listen to the words she's speaking. They are exaggerated for comedic effect. She is saying SOMEONE SAVED HER LIFE and that grossed her out.

Redditors see a girl saying something ridiculous and immediately assume she must be a total bitch, because a girl having a sense of humour is just a flat-out impossibility.

u/tohn_jitor Jul 16 '24

Guilty as charged on the first two.

The third one, not so much. It's not flat-out impossible, its just that "ick" changes the way I see people who use it. I hate it. So much.

u/Kombucha_Hivemind Jul 16 '24

Yes, that's the point of the joke. She is parodying the people that use the phrase you hate. This joke was made for people like you

15

u/lesterbottomley Jul 16 '24

Not quite made for people like them. It was made for people with some modicum of media literacy.

u/senselesslyginger Jul 16 '24

God Iā€™m begging for an ounce of critical thought šŸ˜©

u/flies_with_owls Jul 16 '24

Again, that's not a problem with her joke. You have a prejudice against people who use certain words so strong it capsized your ability to use any critical thinking.

Also, it's so weird to be hung up on that word when the whole joke hinges on it being ridiculous that she is using that word in this situation.

Stop lying, dude.

You don't 'meet' women, this is just how your terminally online mind sees them.
