The Guy Who Reads Tweets on TikTok Makes Me Angry 

we’re doing an afternoon stream at 12pm CST so drop by and say hi!

I refuse to believe that anyone who answers “how do you like to unwind” with “candy crush” is a real person

bentellect is a time traveller from 2011, that's why he loves candy crush and thinks every viral tweet is the funniest thing ever

his forced laugh is infuriating. don't worry nick, we're irrationally angry too

He's using David Dobricks tactic by randomly manically laughing at his own sentences in order to make himself seem funnier

"i swear his laugh just makes it so much better" girl, lying is a sin.

i like to imagine his smile immediately turning into a frown after the camera is shut off

He has the opposite of a contagious laugh, I hear it and all amusement in a 10 mile radius is seeped out of the world

he physically embodies the concept of having literally nothing to offer

This man is slightly terrifying. I can't imagine how insane you must be to just post video after video of you fake giggling on every platform in existence

I have THREE separate friends who won't stop sending me this guy's videos because they like the tweets he's reading, and they're really nice people so I don't have the heart to tell them I would rather eat drywall than watch these

"I'm big on not forcing something." That really didn't age well

This aged well.

This guy is legit the embodiment of when a meme goes stale

We found him...the guy that’s singlehandedly keeping Facebook minion memes alive and well

this aged well

It's amazing how low the bar is for becoming a millionaire these days, sometimes I don't know if that's a good thing or a bad thing.

have we considered that he has never genuinely laughed and feels nothing and that’s why he doesn’t think his laugh is fake

him constantly saying “facts” sounds far too much like a slur that he looks like he would yell at me

I’ve never had the uncanny valley feeling from an actual HUMAN!! That fake asss laugh and weird smile and catchphrases make me feel like he’s impersonating a human

As a 28 year old, I can’t imagine going on a date with a guy and hearing he reads tweets online for a living.

So... the bulk of his content is basically that one kid who repeats your joke louder and everyone laughs. Thats some premium *content*

at this point, his laugh sounds like a laugh track being played on loop

I believe the thing that makes him so infuriating is the FACT that he is surely in it just for the money, yet chooses to weaponize fake positivity to avoid all criticism. Like Dhar Mann! They both post low effort, repetative, & even stolen content - then when confronted, say they're "just trying to spread positivity" so HOW could ANYONE be upset about that? The dishonesty oozes from those men like the melted sludge from a defunct McDonald's ice cream machine; superficial 'joy'-bringers that never last.

revisiting this after 2 years with the recent drama is insane

He’s gaslighting me saying that laugh is genuine

sometimes ppl who are just mildly annoying are even more infuriating than ppl who are actually doing shitty things it’s terrible

PLEASE tell me yall have seen this trend where people duet his videos with ominous images and a deep text to speech voice and say like "You think this is funny ben" and "We are in your walls" I've seen like 4 in a row and im dying

This guys laugh- 🤢❌❌ One Topic’s laugh- ✅✅🥰

i think its super weird how he brought a bunch of snacks into his car just to lie for a tiktok

Every time he says “Facts” “It is what it is” or “ya dig” I lose five brain cells, help. Edit: Why did this blow up? Am I relatable now?

The US military should play Bentellect compilations on loop to get information during interrogations. However, forcing someone to watch his content seems like it’d violate the Geneva Convention.

the fact that he appropriates AAVE for everything including his shitty merch line,,, it doesn't sit right with my soul.

The fact that he isn’t the only one who does this. This is a genre on tik tok...

he’s like an autogenerated snapchat bitmoji personified i-

literally i cant watch youtube shorts without bumping into this dork, everyone in the comment section is way too nice to this guy

Going back to season one before I watch the new one

He's like a reddit text-to-speech channel with a face slapped on top

imagine you perform at a comedy show, but your whole routine is just a recording on your phone of the funny person who went right before you

“If her laugh is fake, then she ain’t go no cake”- master oogwee

I started out thinking he was just having fun and halfway through I got mad at his laugh. He’s not doing anything wrong but my god he is the human equivalent to a corporate tweet

This is the equivalent of the one kid in class who would steal other peoples jokes but still get called the class clown

i have never felt so aggravated by someone’s laugh before

This aged like wine

Omg thank u for this😭 this guy has always rubbed me the wrong way. the part where you talked about his laugh being disingenuous was spot on! You just earned a new subscriber:,)

honestly if he isn’t faking it it would be worse because it would mean he has absolutely no personality

Bro literally the golden rule of comedy/standup is don't use other people's material

I feel like this guy is the opposite of One Topic At A Time - OT laughs all the time, but it's infectious and feels genuine.

the thing is that some of the people who do this are kind of entertaining to watch, as they film their initial reaction and sometimes absolutely lose their shit over some extremely dumb joke (which is entertaining to watch if it's genuine), but this dude definitely took it and ran with it and ruined it.

remember when billie eilish mocked him on her story? queen behaviour

him randomly adding"ya dig" at the end of his instagram stories is 1000x more annoying than "facts" or his forced laugh aaaaa

I want to crawl out of my skin every time he says "ya dig"

the fact that he says facts so much, and ya dig (incorrectly) is just him trying to profit off of popular AAVE sayings, abusing them, saying them incorrectly all for profit and he's forcing it so hard it hurts

On top of his monotone voice and lack of life in his eyes, he feels like a corporation's twitter account.

I wonder if one day he'll wake up laughing uncontrollably and never be able to stop. All that forced laughing in his tiktoks is gonna catch up to him one of these days. Then we're all gonna be sorry.

Girls:dies of a disease that she’s been fighting against since she was born and family mourns. Bentellect:HAHAHAHAHAHAH😂😂😂😂🤪🤪🤪😝😝😝🤣🤣🤣

I feel like hanging out with this dude would be exhausting, you say anything slightly funny and he does that laugh and says "facts" and that's all he has to add to the conversation but he still thinks he's the funniest person in the group

Those tiktoks where they just read "funny" tweets or scripts then force a laugh mid sentence make me so uncomfortable i hate them so much lol And most of the time the videos get more attention & likes than the original tweet/script like why ??

What's the deal with airline food? Mondays am I right -garfield

I came across this guy on youtube shorts and i was so pissed off at the way he couldn’t finish reading the tweet before doing that annoying laugh, so you’re not alone nick

if he's very seriously genuinely nOT gaslighting his audience or lying about faking his laugh i DO feel like he needs to tell his doctor about it bc it seems like a medical problem that is affecting his daily life. i feel like his fans/followers shouldn't be enabling him to use it solely as a monetary/influencer gain when it could be a form of Tourette's or something unchecked that he just covers up as toxic/24/7 positivity?

It's weird that he's convinced himself that his laugh is genuine when anyone with any sense knows its forced. Like I can smell the fake-ness from a mile away.

my roommate used to send me his tiktoks all the time and it would elicit an anger in me that i never knew i had before

“my soulmate probably food tbh” that’s all he had to say

Wow got this randomly recommended after everything that happened with the guy😮

me reading ahead: this is kinda mildly funny this guy: *reads the tweet in That Voice and does That Laugh* me: nevermind it isn't funny

he's the human version of a laugh track

I had to block this man on tiktok because he kept going on my for you page and making me irrationally angry.

IM SO GLAD IM NOT THE ONLY ONE, i kept getting annoyed whenever he came up and i literally had to close the app😭😭

this type of "comedy" reminds of these people in the comments that say "someone said __" and think its funny

if someone got me a cameo from him i would think they wanted me dead

I don't know, I just can't find him annoying like for some reason he gives me dad vibes and it's kinda wholesome, just a guy laughing at memes

this man ENRAGES me. and i thought i was the only one. thank u for validating my feelings.

There are 31 year olds like Taylor swift, who’s released two albums in a year, is re-recording most of her albums to own them again, has multiple grammys, and then there’s Ben.

He seems to be a character created and put out onto the world by netflix to promote a new season of black mirror

Fun fact: liking “The Facts Man’s” laugh is a symptom of having tinnitus

i used to watch bentlect because he seemed wholesome and fun, but what i didn’t notice is that it legit is the same exact moment he laughs every single time

DUDE I THOUGHT I WAS THE ONLY ONE WHO GOT SO ENRAGED BY THIS MAN'S CONTENT I CAN'T STANNNDDDDDD HIIIIMMMMM

I don't know anyone who has a laugh that's the exact same everytime. Like obviously you laugh depending on how funny something is or the situation, but with his it's the same every time, not even with some tweets ever being more funny than others (well none of them are funny anyway). It's just so pushed out that I think he's gotten used to it and so it's just his normal laugh now. Idk I feel so annoyed too but I feel so dramatic for it😭😭

I swear, Ben is the only guy I saw on yt shorts where I actively searched for an option to block further videos from him bc he pissed me that much off... Didn't find that option btw

Low effort videos/posts on any platform is the reason why the internet is becoming boring and we're all mindlessly scrolling with no emotion.....because there'd no emotion from these people

you’re the only reason I like mondays

"this bugs me so much more than i feel like it should" is how i feel about most things that make me angry tbh

Don’t look out your windows nickolass

I'm so happy to see a video on this guy. Everyone in his comments seems to love him, but he pisses me off

His laugh triggers my fight or flight response

thinking about how many times he's had to hear this man's fake laugh while editing, get well soon

Damn, I feel you on so many levels lmao I hate his fake laugh

Lol I thought this video was from 2 days ago not 2 years ago so the whole time I was waiting for him to be like “oh and also he’s a super creepy weirdo who harasses of creators”

i do not blame you for being angry. EVERYTIME HE SAYS YA DIG I FEEL SO MUCH ANGER IN MY BONES

Can I. Just say I am stoned out of my mind and I’m really happy this video exists because I’m just sitting here watching one boy get a angry at the other boy and like yup it makes sense and like yeah

Even Joker didn’t laugh that much and he had an actual disorder.

Ben is like the kid in class who steals jokes and thinks hes the class clown when he is everything but

I did a little math during this video & I can confirm this dude has an exact time frame in which he starts “cracking up” at whatever he’s reading. Counting the words in the tweets & memes he reads off, he starts cracking up at least 70% of the way through, usually lands around the 80-85% range. I feel this is the case for most ppl in general but for Bentellect the timing for him “laughing” feels so calculated. He doesn’t really “crack up” halfway through or even near the beginning like if he gave it a good look before reading it out loud, processed it in his head & found it genuinely hilarious. It seems like he doesn’t even read it on the spot since he probly gets these tweets and memes sent to him so it feels like he didn’t rly laugh when he got them? I’m digging too deep, my point is this REEKS of being painfully forced. The comedian thing also gets me thinking. He’s rly playing the part of an audience member rather than a comedian cuz he’s giving his “reaction” & not telling any sort of joke. He has catchphrases I guess but otherwise Bentellect calling himself a comedian is logically & completely wrong. The comedian thing also gets me thinking abt how I feel that his heart just isn’t in it at all & that’s arguably the worst thing here (having absolutely no original content with no real personal input is also p bad). This absolutely goes for ppl like Bentellect (it’s like react channels all over again, who remembers those jfc) & even actual comedians by definition. Hell, it goes for most if not all areas of art. No heart means no enjoyment for the creator. Sometimes ppl enjoy content w/ no heart in it but they won’t truly b feeling anything from it in the long term. But u have to b able to enjoy ur creations in some form first. If something is bad but u can tell genuine effort that came from the soul was put into it, that automatically makes it at least a little better. And we all feel it, even if we’re not aware of it. Creations that come from the heart &/or soul benefit everyone in some way cuz u can feel that soulfulness which Bentellect’s videos don’t have Oh god this went in a direction I didn’t expect. Did I get my point across? That probly got lost somewhere in there or it lurks inside the meaning of the words or w/e Tl;dr Bentellect’s entire act feels extremely forced & calculated & he’s literally the exact opposite of a comedian. Edit (3/10/22): hello hi this got 753 likes? What Where did all these ppl come from. I mean thank u but who r u ppl

"I'm actually 31 as well, and am not planning on dropping the 14 yo side swoop bang any time soon HAHAHAHHAHAHA"

Scientist: laughing increases life span by 1 minute Benttelect: *immortal*

I hate that I read the title for this video and knew exactly who you were talking about

Theres a girl who basically does the same thing (reading tweets and laughing) and it also fills me with a similar rage.

it’s the way he forces aave and uses it wrong 😭😭😭

Thank you. Thank you for making me feel validated. I have randomly come across his videos so often and have been left confused, annoyed and yes also angry. I don't understand, but I love this video.
