    a friend is some one that lifts your life up when interacting with them,laughter fun etc.
    on line they cant hurt or if they do you can cut them off.
    the same in real life a 'friend' that steals your happiness is not a friend

    I think this video was not made merely for entertaining purposes, it seems to me that it wants to portray the irony of our online lives... how easy it is for us to accept a complete stranger's friendship request online contrasted with how hostile we react in the real world.

    Telling people you like things is something people do every day. And when you make a friend request on Facebook, it's done in the social context of Facebook, same as with meeting someone at a bar - it's not unusual for people to just come up to you and start chatting; it's expected and part of the norms of that particular situation.

    Oh and as for this being not funny, yeah it's not that great, it's mainly trying to get a message across about facebook, and it's not like the guys a well know comedian or proffesional or anything. ! =]

    That's from your You Tube Channel page. How come you're not so discerning on You Tube regarding friendship?
    And did you know any or many of your You Tube friends before joining You Tube?

    Why, not even a "How'd ya do?" ..or even a care or a query about my day or how my day went .Isn't that just lovely? Well, I never......next time I'll just poke ya instead!

  • @Deadshot465
    @Deadshot465 13 лет назад

    It's not strange to "like" something your friends posted on their wall such as photos, videos, etc. However it is a bit bizarre to "follow" your friends even you have known them or met them, if put in the reality.

  • @torontocitylife
    @torontocitylife 13 лет назад

    Anything taken literally or out of context can seem odd. When you "follow" someone on Twitter, you're following a conversation, not where they are and what they're doing at all times (or did the interviewer stipulate "can I follow you physically while you walk about?"). When you poke a friend it's synonymous with nudging them when they've been silent too long...which many friends actually do.

  • @05you2
    @05you2 13 лет назад

    @HSOUIXZ I'm sorry that you were offended by my observation based speculation on human behavior. I did not anticipate anyone taking offense at my lighthearted observation that there are, as you aptly noted, Americans who are easily angered and offended by strangers who are (for lack of better words) extremely "forward and creepy." However, I personally never said that I was such a person.
    As for you, you seem to have a lot of pent up anger.
    I hope that your situation changes for the better.

  • @ebphillips
    @ebphillips 13 лет назад

    Alright, for those who may not know. This is a video depicting actions you might take on the website Facebook. It shows the absurdity of the actions when tried in real life. To 'poke' means to gently touch someone with the pointer finger of an extended hand. At the end, he talks about twitter, where an action you can take is to follow someone and thus receive their comments, as opposed to literally following someone which would be creepy.

  • @arbianband
    @arbianband 13 лет назад

    Excellent and very funny! This social-networking IRL idea has already been done elsewhere (e.g. South Park) but the confused faces of ordinary people in the park and on the street (especially the Asian guy) really adds to the amusement.
    Just in case anyone is wondering, there is a reason for the John Snow Pub / Interested in Men skit: The John Snow was in the news recently when a gay couple was asked to leave the pub for kissing.

  • @EcilaMirror
    @EcilaMirror 13 лет назад

    @jeras2: I think you've missed the point. You are right-someone playing Mario on the street would look odd. The difference is that Mario is a game, whereas social media are purported to be communication conduits for making personal contact with others.
    The critique offered falls into three categories: new jargon ("ROFL" "poke"); amount and type of self-disclosure (e.g., announcing relationship status); and the nature of relationships (e.g., what does "friend" mean in social media v. 3D life?).

  • @Aurongroove
    @Aurongroove 13 лет назад

    well it's bound to be weird when you take online things out of context like that. If you had an opera about two car drivers and showed a guy going round saying "I'm going to turn left now" or beeping at people or exchanging insurance and laundry details if a cup of coffee was accidentally spilled it would be equally bonkers. there's nothing stranger about online behavior then other social behaviors, ie driving, working, being on holidays.

  • @TezukaKohei
    @TezukaKohei 13 лет назад

    @mariopierre it's hard man. None of the people I know even want to talk on the phone anymore let alone e-mail. Just text. And when I send them links for articles they may be interested they say "Too much information" "Too long". There's nothing I can do personally. This low attention span has just become endemic to our society, no patience whatsoever, no reading comprehension ability :(

  • @mariopierre
    @mariopierre 13 лет назад

    We had this exact conversation yesterday around a campfire, extended to the point of cell phones and not even having any real life interactions anymore. I actually installed french doors in my bathroom, which sit right in front of the toilet, people are fucking intimidated but why? We live the rest of our lives right in the open and share the most intimate details, yet people still act all shy when not hiding behind a screen... fuck'd fuck. Chuck your cells and laptops away and try real life.

  • @manychefsbroth
    @manychefsbroth 13 лет назад

    Very funny. Although I cant help but think its rather easy to be literal about the language we use online. To follow somebody on twitter does not mean to invade their personal space and make them feel uncomfortable. Users post at their free will, sharing information when they please.. This video would be seen be very few people if it wasn't for social media this video looks at satirically.

  • @HURLEY7130
    @HURLEY7130 13 лет назад

    too bad that this is false for most people. most people who have a few hundred friends at least "know" who they are on an acquaintance level. this dude's running around asking people who he's never seen before, which is not the case for most people. i enjoyed the video and i think it does a great job pointing out some dumb features that facebook has.

  • @mariopierre
    @mariopierre 13 лет назад

    @TezukaKohei Hopefully, like everything else, society will one day return to it's roots. I've noticed that a lot of people have been planting their own gardens, I guess that's a start. It just really sucks when I host a house show and people aren't even paying attention, they're all txt'ing, it's horrible. Definitely losing touch with reality and everything that is beautiful.

  • @TamaraVallejos
    @TamaraVallejos 13 лет назад

    This was hilarious 'til I got to the end. I feel like--and I'm sure it's unintentional--the end of the teaser almost round-about bashes the people who are watching it, by calling our online lives "odd" and implying we're doing something "danger[ous]" by just going through the normal internet motions. Something doesn't jive there for me. But until then, kudos!

  • @teopua
    @teopua 13 лет назад

    @jeras2 (Forgive my English) I don't think that Facebook is like a video game. It seems instead a window in which we expose our ego. It is not only a convenient medium, is presented as an alternative reality. It is a self-classification in exchange for visibility. We will never be willing to admit that this is wrong.

  • @LanguorousLass
    @LanguorousLass 13 лет назад

    Of course our relationships on line are stylized. Our relationships in every context are shaped by the context. Behavior that's appropriate at work seems strange in other contexts (except in DC), and behavior that's appropriate in a bar would be bizarre, at best, at work. Big revelation.

  • @Artix13
    @Artix13 13 лет назад

    This is a pretty interesting video, but there is one problem with it: it shows how weird it can be with people who do NOT know. I use Facebook for the people I know in real life, so it doesn't really work like this. However, I know some people do act on Facebook like in that video, which is pathetic.

  • @RH98
    @RH98 13 лет назад

    @vincenth2008 observation intended in the most lighthearted, non-bitchy way possible: you criticise the video, as it comments on a service which nobody is obligated to use... yet your criticism is a comment on a video that you yourself are in no way obligated to view.
