Why Speed Dating Is Terrible - People Watching #1 

Ah, I was confused, like what happened, she's perfect! But I didn't notice/realize the paleness.

and before that there was someone who had a shirt saying praise the sun in a full on beach outfit.

You can still like the beach even if you're pale. It just doesn't mean you like getting tanned

+clowntrooper61 Doesn't matter. That's the message they were sending, that she don't like the beach.

***** So if she had a shirt which said I love the beach and she was pale as fuck as you say, would mean she's a hipster to you

yep "so which group are you" "the one that didn't understand what you just said"

Fucking SERIOUSLY

owenbevt3 so when people use words you don't understand they're pretentious?

joshua fiddy allen maybe you're actually bi

Deirdre Keane i know right! This was a journey!

Deirdre Keane yay for purposefully removing yourself from what you're watching, I guess

If you take the time to read the comix, you'll ride such a rollercoaster of emotions. Rowntree's stuff is so good.

I didn't understand 3/4th of what they were saying

Cameron Bailey Man, thank you so much!

It's the way it is. I think what you have to do is just take the leap in real life. And eventually it becomes more and more natural

God speed

Cheers

I think it has a lot to do with our self esteem and our skill level of emotional first aid/hygiene. You risk emotional injury by being vulnerably honest first. Even if you think how you said it felt fake, being the real you will become easier over time. when you notice yourself judging, do just that at first. Notice it. The more you notice the little judgements you make to yourself the easier it will feel to do more than just notice when the times right. Just some thinks.

I can only truly be free with my thoughts when commenting on RU-vid or when not in physical person. Being honest in the comment section is normal, but in society, being honest is stigma. Society tells you to put on a smile, and act like a normal person, when inside you're less than a normal person or broken emotionally and or physically.

Deadpool Hove. Or is it late?

ambivalence

Deadpool Director calls those moments of melancholy as happy-sad

'Ambivalence' is pretty close, in fact I think it's the closest we have, but I'd say it doesn't work because it also means that you don't much care. A combination of happy and sad where you really, deeply care is pretty much the best feeling in the world, but I don't think 'ambivalent' is quite right. We need a German word, probably, they've got words for everything.

Fourth Wall.

Joan is a pro-nudity heterosexual businesswoman, Jeremy is a translesbian waiter - radical honesty may be their glue pending actual honesty. Don't have be pissed - Christianne & Ted remain a couple for life because of pegging.

Ha new episode is out.

Jeremy is a straight trans man, not a trans lesbian.

I only started watching this series, and darn that's confusing.

What is? lol

I'm torn. On one hand, I agree, you shouldn't waste people's time, and you should be very honest about the big things that are always deal breakers as soon as reasonably possible. On the other hand, there are things that reside in a grey area that might seem like deal breakers in a vacuum, but aren't if they like a bunch of other things about you that make up for it. Lead with maybe 1 or 2 deal breakers that almost certainly aren't surpass-able. Like perhaps politics and what you want out of life broadly (Like wanting kids, or marriage, or if you are polyamorous, or if you want to travel the world, or if you want to just have lots of sex, or if you want to stay at home and be introverted except with a partner, etc.). Then after that, try and stay positive. Mention things that a person might want that they can get from you in a relationship. Then let the other person figure out if the trade offs are worth it.

Don't be brutally honest. Be mostly honest, but avoid including fatal details, and be able to explain the rationale of the different facts about yourself in such a way that any reasonable person in your shoes would be understanding. Then, in the end, just be like "baby don't leave me!"

The problem is people don't want to be brutally honest until they are going for broke, until they have squandered their youth and are exhausted from a lifetime of bad choices, they are aging or have kids ect. Until then, people usually play the field and inflate the value of what they have to offer away without a care in the world until it is too late.

@@WarpScanner it sounds like you are trying to rationalize it into being "ok". You say you agree you shouldn't waste people's time but what do you think withholding information from someone that would allow them to decide for themselves if they are wasting their time with you or if they want to stay and see if your worth the extra effort. If you aren't giving someone the opportunity to decide then you are stealing there time from them, time that they could spend with someone who is a better fit for them. Truth is people are selfish and don't really care about wasting other people's time; they just don't want to waste there own time. It may sound cynical but for the most part is the truth.

IDK, I don't really agree with that assessment. But then, I'm polyamorous (and I state that up front, as I mentioned its an obvious deal breaker for some). I think to some degree as a result I largely don't have an issue learning about some minor negatives about a person later. I need to know someone's politics up front though. People who are far right can fuck off and I'm at best going to only be fuck buddies with a libertarian or centrist (and only if they are at least decently socially left wing and willing to change their mind on economics in a debate). Thing is, being alone would be better than being in a close romantic relationship built upon nothing but desperation. I say that even being poly. I just legit don't believe people actually know what they really want, I hardly know what I want, so I figure its always worth a "try".

this is exactly what I was thinking

if magical is another word for depressing, then yes.

@@mickael486 Perhaps at the time, it was depressing to you. Hopefully things are better for you now.

Series? Are there more than two episodes of this?

Bob Hollywood that is actually me no joke

Yo same

Yo, there is a Norwegian song like that "I want to be the little spoon" Also, what do you use the Christmas ornaments for?

I like two things. Ball pythons and video game concept art. Of course I could just say I like animals, drawing and gaming, but I doubt most ppl will know what they're talking about when it comes to specifically these things I'm terribly passionate in.

I love this radical honesty. I mean, if dating is stressful and pointless, why even do it? I like two things: Industrial music and math.

Same here. Daria mixed with MTV's Downtown.

Why does the stripper try to contemplate complex topics with strangers in seven minutes? All those groovy people think they are so right? Leave a little room to be wrong.

Because if it were real, she may bump into me and we'd talk all night. Or, we would never meet, as shown.

She does not seem to realize how condescending she can appear.

@Gareth Morgan For sure. One problem doesn't cancel out the other. Sexual confidence is something sought out for in both sexes. And there will always be people from both sides having trouble with it. But that doesn't make any of us any less worthy of love.

That's BS (not your comment, the idea that sexual confidence is a huge desirable trait). I don't think "sexually confident" is a major criterion for the overwhelming majority of men.

What got me was the one woman who was eliminated for not being "intelligent." What the hell was that about? It seemed more like Jeremy's concept and criteria for intelligence. Any way we measure it, even scientifically is so narrow and our understanding of the brain being less clear and more so in the dark. Beyond that little hitch, this is probably in my top 3 favorite People Watching episodes.

@@mitchjohnson4714 Right? Last thing I could give a fuck about - well, maybe not the last but certainly not crucial.

I'm a virgin so I'm definitely insecure about how well I'll be able to please someone, especially with my incredibly average... you know. I think that sexually confident can mean different things to different people. Like maybe for me it can mean someone leading me through exactly what they want cuz they know what they want, and therefore their experience makes it work better. But then again some guys like to take lead and find self-consciousness endearing and cute. Maybe it would be fun for 2 virgins to learn together along the way how best to please each other, or 2 hardcore sex masters constantly challenge each other with whatever kinky stuff. Maybe a not sexually confident man gets shamed by a confident woman who says " you're an idiot, you'll never be able to make *me* feel good." Maybe a sexually confident man pushes a girl to do more than she wanted because he's emotionally manipulative, and afterwards she feels used. TL;DR Sexual confidence isn't universally attractive and may even be unattractive to some, so don't worry. Someone will like you for you. I hope... ...tbh I'm still trying to convince myself of that.

I agree. I came from cracked to youtube to post basically that.

I literally logged in on youtube to write that, soo true with people want to be liked by everyone and ending up with no or failed(insert own definition on fail) dates. I'm a person of my time so I do these things too, but I realize the problems aswell, as you said, one of the best videos on youtube.

John Hellsing Have you seen the latest episode of People watching!? SO GOOD

John Hellsing I love these vids

John Hellsing omg I would so date the red head :) he's right up my street

Blair Munro it was to make a point. they were perfect for each other but it all came down to luck. but the whole entrire video was awesome. gives me and Idk other single people hope that meeting that someone will happen

That's what I mean; in terms of the story, it was obvious that they should end up together, but it would undermine the whole sentiment.

I liked that too... I actually expected them to be together because I felt like it was a romantic movie, but the ending was surprisingly satisfying.

Christopher A that's because it was surprisingly realistic.

ItDoesn'tReallyMatter not only realistic but like comforting? for some reason it makes me feel okay

For the record, this does check out. The song source is indeed from this account.

Kalyna Rakel thank ypu so much i love your song

Thank you!! All the songs on this show are good and I've been trying to find what they're called I'm glad I've found one (: really love your sound it's a very old timey feel

it's gorgeous

CONGRATS!!!!!!... Cameto the comments just to find out about the song hehehe...

Yeah I agree

@@cewlio8221 The comic this is based on tends towards huge walls of text - clever text, but sort of hard to process - so this is pretty much the audio equivalent of that...

@@Elyandarin oh I didn't know this was based off of a comic. My adhd would probably prefer that LOL

100% agree

In a way, it's fitting. if anything anyone in the video does hold any value to the people that is watching, small quirks that many tend to not like such as "talking fast" can be overlooked and more things will be said out-loud, the more accurately worded when practiced saying out-loud, and the more agreeable the statement can be to the person that originally said it

Same. It’s just really good content

Me too

Sometimes the advice really needs to be heard

I think this series may have shaped who I am as a person.

Gang gang

These ain't tears B it's the Henny dripping out of my eyes 😢

CorlinTV a thousand likes and only two comments wow

CorlinTV Thug tears are manly tears man.

Yo that’s ending was sad a shit 😭

Not tears bro, i have something in my eye

TwitchyTopHat YES

TwitchyTopHat ikr

I love that show!

thank you

Story Teller THANK U SIR 💕👌🏻

Honestly thank you I appreciate u

Exactly.

Agreed. She also didn't get too personal. She mostly talked about her values or economic and political views. Those are things most think should be talked about right away but don't because they aren't confident enough or feel it's impolite. When you think about it, talking about things like family or even sharing personal goals on a first date before stating your core values and views gives the illusion of closeness that may lead ppl to settle for someone they've been politely dating for a while who they aren't really compatible with at the core

@Eugene Kendrick hmm... if I bore you, please expand on how absolutely dull I am. While you're at it, provide your own thoughts.

@@junkmalme if he thinks you're boring, he thinks you're boring. Dont get butthurt and make him go look in scorched earth for his opinion about you, gosh!

They do share that sense of cynical hyperrealism.

Dendric's Evening Toy An over sexualized, self righteous, narcissistic Daria.

Haha, yeah. Basically Daria started working out, bleached her hairs, got lasik, a boob job and hipster tattoos.

Otherwise exactly the same! ;)

No, yeah, I pretty much figured this is how it would be if Daria ever went speed-dating. And if she were a stripper.

MSTe98 I guess we're two different people then. I actually prefer to listen then to talk. I only ever like talking when I'm excited about something or explaining something. So this was refreshing for me. Seeing an equal back a forth between people makes me feel anxious and I wonder if they both got say what they wanted to say completely. Of course it isnt the same for typing, I'll type paragraphs worth of material like I'm writing a novel in the comment section.

Tana Collier Yeah except this chick wasn't saying anything refreshing...she basicslly was calling everyone simple minded for doing speed dating in a traditional way and for just trying to live their lives without getting lectures by the romantically "enlightened"

Ada Harrison I meant it was refreshing for me, personally. I don't like talking or using my voice more specifically. I also really like listening to people talk, so seeing a character that isn't afraid to say what's on their mind makes me feel easier. It doesnt matter to me in most cases what the topic is about, as long as I can learn from you, I'll listen.

I think the 100 mph talking speed was a necessary choice for the purposes of this video. There was a lot of information to get out in a limited period of time. Imagine how long this video would have been if they spoke more slowly. It's already over 10 minutes long as is. Aside from that, the two motor mouths are the main characters and, in this context, require the most dialogue. It makes sense that the people we're less focused on don't get to talk on screen as often. This doesn't mean they aren't getting to talk. It just means we see less of it.

Patrick McSupafly that doesn't make a lot of sense, but ok.

There are lots of comments which simply disses her for being full of herself but fail to state what's actually wrong. This is the actual explanation of what is her type, kudos to you. I admit I've had trouble putting my finger on it myself. Nonetheless, I too wonder what's going to happen on the series. It's the first episode and there are already some great arguments in here.

Great insight!

Bravo, this reminds me of someone I know, wish I had read this sooner lol.

I agree. But I don't know, knowing her story maybe she just gave up on that and didn't care anymore and just wanted to ger her worldview out there because she thinks it otherwise wouldn't. She's jaded.

I disagree. A truly smart person wouldn't care regardless of how they put out the information, but how the other responds to it. Nearly all arguments on the unknown are shots in the dark and she having spent enough time doing the routine of speed dating likely means regular dating has failed and regular approaches have stopped mattering to her to the point that any real connection will take place from those willing to tolerate her. Such as saying the worst thing you have done and living with that person knowing truly they aren't worse than that or arranged marriages where even though there is no inherent love or likely interest, their commitment to each other is stronger than any love based situation(besides financial relationships of course). Not all strategies work and its when the common doesn't that you have to be more unique or extreme. But not knowing her story at all, I'm assuming she gave a few honest tries with real effort until all she has now is the unapologetic truth. Or maybe talking to strangers is how she copes. Idk. I'm not that smart.

Itay Yakobowitz I love how the one girl has a shirt saying "national pegging team"

So he's not for you then? ;D

Until you get used to it, then it gets canceled....

Geddy Avery SapphireDragon357 Thank you both so so much for the info! i dont know who flagged your comments though, and it wont let me restore them :(

8:15 and no love from the _national pegging team_ ... that one got me... :)

I’d be like ok cool, I love swimming and the tv show supernatural, so we can hang out at the beach and go swimming then I’ll get out my strap on if you agree to watch some of my show with me afterwards while we rehydrate and have snacks :-)

@@ladyrepunsel4567 He'd like that, I'm sure. Just be gentle his first time

@@rainerminusunfug she doesn't like the beach

Dude me too

LMAO i almost spit out my Beef Stroganoff !!!

Agreed! Winton's protagonists are usually pretty statuesque as a rule though. I think maybe it's to eliminate all other factors... like I look great and I'm smart and I get shit done, why is my life and mind a mess?! They are cartoonishly attractive, fantastic on the spot speakers, and remarkably effective at achieving/conveying a point. Kinda maxed up for effect.

But the dude is a ginger...

William Stamp it's too bad they have homogeneous attractive people ( especially women). Definitely goes against the message IMHO.

I get what you are saying, but realistically Candy is a stripper. She going to be attractive or she literally wouldn't have job.(cause people have to want to see you naked to get paid for it) Also while the guy is attractive, some people have pointed out he's likely the transgender character from the promo of this which doesn't often fit into the societal view of "attractive". (ie that if you asked someone to describe an attractive person the person they describe is more than likely cis) Also, some of the stuff they are saying is bizarre (like the who should pay) or can cause quite a bit of disagreement among even liberal like-minded millennials. They one guy at even the possibility of her being a feminist instantly did the "You're one of those people" thing.

His shirt was a really well delivered joke. Girl: So where did you grow up? Guy: (shirt said it all)

trapd00rspider Honestly love that

He's the guy with the hat.

Maybe you did something that made her upset :D And if she didn't understand something you said you say: "I am so sorry, I didn't mean that" And that's it. Keep it classy is leaving space for people to tell you how they wanna be talked to without taking it personally. Keep it classy Sam.

I'm glad you tried, and I'm sorry it didn't end well.... But YOU TRIED.... AND THAT SHOULD MATTER

Never show your vulnerable side with women g

@@myflymkultra268 Bro, if you can't be vulnerable in a relationship, what is the point of a relationship? Literally the whole point of starting a relationship is so you can be vulnerable with someone.

@@quiethours1818welcome to the world of courtship. Where people lie!

Oh my god, does that mean you're dead? What's it like on the other side? What religion was right?

btdtpro I liked the part where they didn't procreate, because they're objectively terrible people.

Hollywood has trained us since we were little kids to believe that in the end, everything works out and you live happily ever after. Seeing the reality, that you could come so close and never realize it, that you will possibly die alone, is like a kick in the teeth. The truth hurts. That's why it doesn't sell.

Yup. I feel you. Kind of gave up on the whole dating thing.

KC Drummer Huh, I didn't think of it that way, but I see that ^_^

You are not and never will be

Right here with ya

Your not alone

Starting my 3rd watch rn

3rd watch

littleblueclovers whats odd is that she didnt seem all that pretentious to me. she just seemed tired and honest, but i guess its about perspective

Danny I suppose so. When people raise the pitch of their voice at the end of a sentence (like in a question or a valley girl accent) mixed with the annoyed tone really struck a nerve for me.

How its perceived honestly just depends on the person; I took it as a whole new side of the rants I occasionally have in my head. I mean its not that they were bashing anyone, they were just exceedingly blunt and I can respect that

Yes, but not when someone condescending and pretentious is doing the script.

What your perceiving as her being condescending is actually just her being blunt and sounding tired ... Because she was being blunt and tired both of which is a consequences of the fact that she has done this routine multiple times and its getting to be annoying to her thus she sounds tired and to a person who may not have picked up some of the context think she just sounds rude

Nope. They never do and end up settling... ;)

I really liked the video, but geez that's a depressing ending. It's what always gets me about the idea that there exists The One for you ... and if mine lives in Mumbai, or Beijing, or Ulaanbaatar, what are my chances of ever meeting her?

Mark Chapman If there really is a "One" out there, the chances of you guys being in the same room are hilariously slim. The chances of you guys noticing each other is even slimmer. The chances of you guys talking to each other are even slimmer than that. Yeah, the idea of there being "The One" out there in the world is more depressing than you think.

Well if she's for you, you'll meet her. Technically speaking if you don't meet her she wasn't for you.

The idea that there's the "one" is bullshit. what-if.xkcd.com/9/

syfyraptor rex please!!!

That part I was like nah that's a terrible idea and is the complete opposite of how the justice system is suppose to theoretically work.

kamenwaticlients Right? I'm all for finding justice for those (actually) wronged, but an accusation, or multiple ones are not evidence for a reason. There's no "He did it, so go straight to jail, do not pass Go, do not collect $200."

Exactly. That statement that the character made is a great conversation starter but a very dangerous world view. Benefit of the doubt is very important that's why investigations matter. Letting accusation become evidence sets a terrible presidence. Though sadly that makes things incredibly difficult for actually victims.

kamenwaticlients However, it also makes things difficult for the wrongly accused, as well. Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying every guy accused is innocent, though our legal system is as such, to do what it can to put the guilty ones in prison and keep the innocent ones out. Although, despite that it isn't perfect, it's the only one we have... and until there's some way to determine 100% guilt without evidence, this is as good as it's going to get. That being said, I think her world view in that regard is the symptom of a bigger problem... as any time I've heard someone say something of the nature (This is the first of that specific thing) it's because they believe this whole "Rape Culture" BS. Which in turn, probably leads to other headache inducing beliefs the more you get to know her. I can't begin to describe how frustrating it is to meet someone that's intelligent, but believes such nonsensically stupid things.

Anthony Sforza it's just a lose lose situation. We just have to accept that it's incredibly easy to get away with rape and there's really nothing anyone can do about it.

I agree. I also think that's because nobody wants to get hurt by someone they really like so they make it a trend to be with people " entirely wrong " for them. If that doesnt work, they just look for new people and carry the baggage.

sorry but unfortunately due to career progression, the high cost of living and the fact that people are more alienated from each other than ever (specially in cities) having these get together is really important. I just spent my last 10yrs with family and work until I managed to earn sufficiently enough to not worry about money... so any little help is good ... i think... lool

It is historically just as complicated and difficult as it is now. This "anymore" you mention doesn't really make sense, because what other time period exactly are you referring to with "anymore" when you think things were super simple? Unless you want arranged marriages by your parents, the answer is "never" (even then, it was still very complicated, just that the parents were dealing with the complexity not you)

illyounotme Thanks a million, will do!

Yeah, her idea has merit. I'd even say the broad idea she's alluding to-make the court system work more like how we update based on evidence/statistics like in science-makes sense. But like you I'm not so sure about the downstream implication for law. And I'm no expert in that field. So I don't have a strong opinion. But I will say in the real world no one actually believes in "innocent until proven guilt". We actually have statistics tracking how common or uncommon something is, e.g. Plane usually crash from human error not from fucking bears attacking a pilot in the cockpit. And that's just like we've learned from accumulated police investigative experience that heavy suspicion *should* be on the living spouse of a married person who was murdered. Statistics show they're overwhelmingly likely to be the perpetrator. Meanwhile lawyers sway jurors with bullshit rhetoric, high pressuring persuasion techniques, judges decision are influence by trivial things like how much they ate, we still consider lie detector tests admissible in court, and there a litany of other pseudoscientific forensic nonsense used to judge cases and do investigations. But even considering her idea (using statistical significants) is an absurdity? We need a more balanced conversation on the judicial system.

Its a threat to one of the fundamentals aspects of the US justice system: Innocent until proven guilty.

Also 4 Bitches/Dicks who knew each other before hand could easily accuse one man/woman of raping them all. BAM now he's/she's in jail or worse for "rape".

It could too quickly devolve into a legal headache. Imagine people realizing that they can use false accusations to get what they want. If multiple accusations can count as evidence, throwing out a false accusation could arguably be a more powerful social and political tool than petitions. In fact who needs petitions if you can just throw together a Facebook group to all agree to falsely accuse someone? Internet looses their shit at some content creator, pundit, journalist, activist? Well, let's just all accuse them of sexual harassment or assault so we can put them behind bars just because we don't like them. It's a great idea in principle, if there was a way to be able to verify beyond all doubt that accusations and testimonies are 100% true. But that's just not something you can ensure. Even polygraphs can be cheated.

Multiple accusations is not evidence of anything. Certainly not evidence beyond a reasonable doubt. Lots of people have said they've been abducted by aliens, or that they've seen Bigfoot or Nessie. And if you think this system couldn't be abused go look at what happened in Salem, Massachusetts.

when you resort to speed dating, you are not on your every day life

Not really, it's a personality. I interact with honestly and mostly out of choice, filter a lot of bullshit that way and meet the real gems amidst the rubble that much easier. I'm very, very much like the two protags, and rarely are people much like myself (I mean in a purely analytical sense)- which lends to the ending being painfully accurate. I also get the exact same reactions from others- even my reply is similar. I'm INTP (while I'm aware that the 16 personality system isn't entirely accurate- all psychology has its holes), it gives you an idea of the limited amount of people that may think and respond similarly to these characters (many NT type's) and why you might not have come across those that interact socially or conversationally like this. Granted, you'd have to do the research on what I'm talking about, extra granted, the general populous won't and most likely neither will you. But I can agree to a degree and say it isn't exactly personable to a wide audience, but what was said in the video was/is important- but there most certainly are those who interact with the world in the way these animated characters do.

I kind of get the impression you are imposing the personalities of those characters or even the INTP on yourself a bit too much and in ends up sounding a bit pretended to be honest. Although i guess i shouldn't build an opinion on you just based on what you wrote. I don't know, it just reads a bit strange? but then i suppose it kind of proves the point your trying to make like this might not appeal to me but someone else might be able to relate to what you wrote better and that is fine. Also I guess i thought it would be a shame if no one responded to what you said.

50pages A stripper that speaks like a 4th year English major while everyone else sounds like a frat dude buzzed out on magic markers and a concussion

Meet me irl, and you'll witness someone who actually does speak that eloquently and with such articulation. Until then, let's follow each other on Instagram: @pfocuisine

Lol!

But hey, the alternative is "Hi, I'm basic, and I have massive tits" (paraphrased) that part made me laugh XD

@@mq8858 But she's not basic. You can not-lie, but also not dive into a deep pool of crazed ranting right away... at the same time...

@@gavinjenkins899 whats funny abt this thread is that the video (and Candy) are telling the audience that trying to appeal to the masses sacrifices authenticity, so you should have the courage to be yourself and risk being rejected because appealing to everyone is not the point of dating. so according to your comments, Candy isnt someone y'all would date. that's... the point. shes jaded and pedantic and thinks shes unlovable but she has the courage to show you that upfront so you could make an informed decision. if you dont like her pedantic rants, she wouldnt want to date you either. so your snark about her brutal honesty just shows that the theme of the whole video went over your heads, lol. theres nothing wrong with Candy. youre just incompatible.

@@stephenbarrett5357 No, my point was that you're filtering out people who WOULD want to date you if not for merely this one strategy being used. I might very easily be passing over another date with her even if we WERE compatible long term, purely due to her first date approach being so bad. But would have stuck around and we'd both be happy otherwise. I actually personally kind of like over analysis and pedantry (and thus might irl actually have gotten along long term with this character, coincidentally), but the conclusion here she reached about the dating game theory was just wrong. It wasn't the pedantry, it was the wrongness.

Looks like you have a terrible judgement in character.

DEEZ GUYZ true

No, he's right

DEEZ GUYZ Lol of course thats her character design. What? You want human intricacies? You want plot? You want an arc? Lol you dont know what you want here take this mindless world salad mixed with social and political topics and swallow it down with your morning cereal

It's called pseudointelligence, pretentiousness, nihilism, and narcissism. The cornerstone of college students in the 2010s.

Brianna Baepsae IKR?

Peter Hutt-Sierra Who's the writer of this? Where's his comic?

Winston Rowntree, writes Subnormality.

That explains why he hasn't had sex. Also, what's-her-face said something about wishing she was gay. That's a winner-winner chicken dinner right there.

Theonator where can I find the other episodes?

Theonator I noticed that too. I really liked both of there characters and am rooting for them

Theonator what's the link? Or the name of the video?

I hadn't noticed that, that's pretty cool! Do you think they'll do that in later episodes too? Like the addict who looks nothing like you think an addict looks like, I'd want to hear her story.

More is coming!

Same here, I'll forget about it for a year then revisit.

Wait did you say *can* breathe lol. I normally forget to breathe when something really hits me

so the crippling depression

Brennan Laskas Or the cleverness or nuance or good animation. Or entertainment. Honestly the only simmilarity i see is the pessimistic characters, nihilistic plot and the fact its animated

Or the furries and bestiality

Mr. Grinns Why are you so unhappy with this though? It actually was kind of funny to me. I dunno.

Mary B.F.O.E :3 The characters are too shallow and pedantic. Its like how a stupid person thinks a smart person talks. Like they're all english/psychology/drama majors who enjoy overanalyzing and trying to find ulterior motives to people. When i read the name "people watching" i thought it would be a thought provoking social commentary with actual plot. What i got was a shambling mass of social propaganda with plot sidelined so they can spew a artificial story. Its not even designed to reach out to people with their message. Its targeted at a singular group of pseudo intelectual college types to self affirm their own biases. In short, this "show" is some giant circle jerk.

Jonel Burge designs/illustrations by Winston Rowntree(freakin amazing!!), animation by One World Animation (my company). We unfortunately didn't work on Bojack :)

That's amazing! This video came out of left field for me and I really want more. Can you direct me to some ressources about what this is and how I can get more? Searching RU-vid and cracked.com and googlefor "people watching/animation" didn't work.

David John unfortunately you're going to have to wait until next Wednesday. The good news is that there are 9 more episodes coming!

Thank you so much for the quick reply, I appreciate it. I really hope there's gonna be a dedicated website for these at one point in the future. Good job on contributing to this series, thanks!

David John no problem! Honestly we are loving the response to this show so far. Keep watching and here's hoping to much more down the road! Cheers!

IKR? I wish I could meet more people like her

haw haw haw! too bad she is an imaginary number.

To bad those types are so rare, and few of us have been lucky enough to grow into compatible specimens.

date the cracked writers and editors that formed an attractive person with consistently correct opinions and the ability to never stumble words or be wrong.

She advocates jailing innocents for a marginal increase in successful guilty convictions. Consistently correct except when it's not, with a healthy dose of dehumanising those who disagree with her.

read the subnormality comics

Florance Sweetcrest and don't let anyone pressure you to do so otherwise!

Heck yeah!

And you will find a great person....I just did.

Mine: I am as clingy as glue and I will place my soul in your being if you as much as say hello to me in a nice tone.

I'm cool with that.

flap jack from what I've heard about the dark realm of California yes.

Mr Fisher Yeah being born in and raised here I'll tell you the amount of hipsters pushing out the regular people is tremendous. My elderly neighbors couldn't afford to stay in their home of 40 years because the fucking neighborhood went "hip", help us!

Your common sense may overlook some factors in the dating game. www.psychologytoday.com/blog/the-how-and-why-sex-differences/201104/why-dont-women-ask-men-out-first-dates

Nah... It's the urban NY/MIAMI/LA setting... I live in South Florida... come Sprint Break time... We get a sea of young flesh with no ink... It's quite nice to see actually....

alejandromolinac Right? like everyone down here but me has ink. I'm black, but I worked for a gingerbeard like the one in the video and same damn sleeve. Maybe it's the times, or maybe it's the year round sun.

tuffylaw Yeah... During "sexy" time and I take my clothes off... the response I get is "wow, no ink"... Never been interested in that... Oh yeah, if you see a red head man... He'll have a beard and sleeve tattoos... It's like a requirement... Funny, I used to have the shaved all around and long on top hair cut that everybody has in the yeas 2000... And I had a "manbun" 12 years ago... Guess I just spotted trends before they were trends... Now I just buzz cut my hair... Don't have to do anything to it, just in and out the shower...

Nope.

Asking for a friend, I presume?

So after 8 months that past since you've left the comment, how is the things with your matches are going?

@@Имбирнаяпеченька-ю6ь I feel bad that we won t ever know... I appreciate that you asked

And she talks so fast you wouldn't get a word in anyway!

To be fair, she talked fast during speed dating. That doesn't mean she always talks that fast.

So do many mental patients. XD

Then I'd say the problem is with you. Your confidence in yourself and your viewpoints aren't high enough to the point that you aren't afraid of endlessly debating with others. Where you aren't afraid to endlessly piss them off for valid reasons due to the fear that you think what you have to offer isn't worth them staying around.

I feel like that is her being jaded tho like she says in the beginning. She is waiting for someone that can hear what she has to say and if she had that she wouldn't have to be so aggressive about it because someone is finally listening. I know what that's like.

i'm in my mid-late 20s and it's fixing my mental state right the fuck now

aboutashow your comment is great, and to add to it, everyone inevitably changes as time goes on. when we are with a partner we can either actively change to be more compatible with them or slowly become less compatible until the relationship falls apart. Whether a relationship lasts depends on how much work you put into it, not how lucky you can be finding some one who will put up with all of your bs.

I don't think it is about finding a clone but about finding someone compatible or who has the potential to be compatible with you, that is not the same thing. I am neurotic but that does not mean I need to be with someone who is also neurotic, it could mean that I would like to be with someone who does not mind that, or can handle it. Someone could have a different interest to you but if you are not freaked out by it then that is already a good amount of narrowing down. If you looked at the man and the woman who showed compatibility in this video, they shared similar interests, yes, but also had clear differences in terms of their experiences. What was important was that their values in dating were similar which I think is the basis of a good initial relationship. I think what you're saying may not be such an issue with modern dating but more about expectations in general. The goal among many people is to be financially and generally independent. The world expects us to be able to look after ourselves so yeah, to throw everything under the bus (like quitting a job or moving somewhere) for a relationship is a giant risk and not wanting to do so is an understandable choice. And to extrapolate further, if your relationship becomes the only or most fulfilling or sustaining aspect of your life, that is a lot of pressure and expectation to place on the other person. I can understand where you are coming from with the issue of wanting someone who can fit perfectly into your life but I am not sure fitting your life around someone is a better alternative. Maybe the issue with modern dating is that it is hard to find the right balance.

aboutashow I understand that the implications of this is that you have to find the one person who thinks exactly like you but I don't think that was the intention of the writers. I think this more about how speed dating creates this environment where instead of meeting people and seeing if you are compatible or if there is in chance of wanting to get to know someone you meet, everyone tries to market themselves instead of being yourself. I don't think they are saying to find your clone because while similar the 2 people weren't exactly the same. She even says that some of the people she could eliminate as matches are people who can't stand someone having a different opinion. Personally I don't think a relationship where two people are exactly the same can work or would last but a relationship where you can't agree with someone at all isn't healthy either especially if it means your fighting all the time. The truth is they might not even like each other because they are so similar but the sad part is that they don't even get the chance to see. Sometimes it's not to meet someone who think like you even if you don't necessarily get along. Compromise is important but you have to be able to agree on something. You also can't expect someone else to want to change their lives completely for you and you shouldn't change completely for them. People change over time but you shouldn't base a relationship on the thought that you can change someone else. That is also a big a problem with relationships. People stay in bad relationships thinking that the other person is going to change but why are you with someone if you don't even like who they are? Why are you with someone if that don't like you? Love can be complicated but it shouldn't be a toxic battle field.

And then they get boring after about a month because you're basically dating yourself, then instead of living in your own head, you have to hear your own thoughts coming from someone else as well.

aboutashow Actually, we are more willing to compromise, considering that this video is hardly a case study of actual people who speed date, and also because we meet a shitload of people who arent from our hometown.

I'm upset about Star Trek Voyager. =/

I read a comment like that, but it was more about it being said so fast you need captions, meaning you can't appreciate the cleverness. They WANT to appreciate the cleverness. Don't know if the rest of the comments are like that but... you might actually be highlighting your own assumptions here. Probably a bit of both, that's how life tends to work. EDIT: Never mind I found them. Jeez, people are exhausting. Large point of the video, should have known.

I don't think people were upset because she was a stripper. I think some people just dont like being talked to so condescendingly. While it might not appear that way to you, that is how some people perceive it. And that's okay. We can all see the same thing different ways. I just think there's a happy middle ground to portray these ideas. Regardless of how I perceived the message, I still felt like the ideas that came across are worthwhile and deserve consideration :)

She was pretty full of herself, you could tell how highly she thought of herself, but she did have some smart takes. That's the thing, asshole know-it-alls always have some decent ideas, which are begrudgingly accepted by people. But that doesn't mean you have to like them! She was right tho, her tits were nice and they allow for a bit of extra crazy.

*SHINEI KAKYOIN!*

Yeah, I’ve met people I have deep conversations with and people I find really attractive, but unfortunately I haven’t exactly found anyone who falls into both categories. Not yet, anyway. It’s been four years since you posted your comment, though, so how’s your luck been?

@@ZER-sc3pc Well I have discovered I'm ace and demi-romantic in the intervening 4 years. Notice in my old comment how I am yearning for romance but don't really say anything about attraction or sex. So I've learnt to be happier by myself as well as feeling happier to be myself. But shockingly the problem with the small dating pool did not get better with age haha. So in brief haven't found anyone yet but the isolation gave me time to better understand and like myself. Thanks for asking 🙂 I hope you find your person.

Brutally honest!

Logan Lott "So Removed" by Kalyna Rakel

hfsk123 Thanks, you're the bomb

Logan Lott Of course if you'd watched the credits you would have seen the song name and artist displayed...

Ah, ok. Well, I´m glad that people smarter than me figured that out. :)

Thanks for the comment! That was 'So Removed' from my album Joanne :)

So beach, pegging, or both?

haha both xD

Heidi Gaudoin that's disgusting! The beach is wet and dirty and not to mention all the fish poop.

Heidi Gaudoin Same here! I was this brutally honest using a dating website and it works amazingly. I almost never had a bad date because my profile scared off all the bad eggs right away!

Yep, it's amazing how easily you can put off the ones you don't want by simply stating the facts. Like mine was that I was a nerd, gamer, star trek fan and female dom who likes breaking men (not literally lol). My god the amount of equally pervy geeks who contacted me, the ones brave enough I mean. And soon after I met my husband

EXACTLY.

Maelyne Coggins - After Hours, Obsessive Pop Culture Disorder, and now this. (Actually, I liked the series they were doing at the dating site, too, but I guess that's over.)

Have you seen their honest ads series?

I agree. Who reads Shakespeare and thinks "Gosh, all these characters are super pretentious!!"?

Not to mention speed dating gives you a set time and you have to say everything you want in that time

It's okay that people feel that way because that's how it appeared to them. We can all see the same thing different ways. I personally just think if you want people to pay attention to the worthwhile ideas given here, you can do it in a way that's more welcoming and friendly. That's how progress is made.

Me too. Though I always end up having a 30 minute period of overthinking my future.

Mooood

JJ Lunes or a stripper

Mickey That's a broad generalization.

Disagree, do go on diatribes about the nature of dating while at casual meets. Can confirm, most people meekly agree while going on to continue flaunting feathers rather than meeting someone that'll actually like them long term.

Well, they introduce the character as having 180 IQ point

I actually know people who are that well worded in real life. Some people are just eloquent by nature. I think it's totally believable, especially because this probably isn't the first time she's expressed these things to someone.

Keep ya opinions to ya self. Psych! Speak out your opinions this is a free country! But i disagree that tattoos represent stupidity. Most ancient/indigenous cultures have used tattoos for eons. I do not like the majority of the tattoos depicted here, and i would never get those but eh... who am i to judge?

***** False Dichotomy and Straw Man. A) I didn't say getting a tattoo was itself stupid. B) Historical use does not mean anything when discussing it's modern merits. If that were the case, we'd not be speaking English would we? To explain the stupidity aspect: The tattoos all tool the form of a melange of disjointed concepts, most seeming to be of the 'tribal' form (and not of their own ancestry), most being a of scale and position that most regret later in life. Given the above, it's the specific types which cause my comment on stupidity. They shouldn't be so reckless, ill considered, etc. That's just being stupid.

It's actually carzy how common they are. I was waiting in line at a self checkout and there were 4 women in front of me, all different ages, not together, and they all had visible tattoos.

Tattoos can be powerful symbols.

Kevin, Your original wording implies that getting tattoos is a sign of a shift towards complete stupidity. Hence why Baqca (and others like myself) thought you were calling those who get them stupid. I can guarantee that if enough people comment on this thread, there will be a bunch of people saying stuff like "tattoos aren't stupid" and whatever. Also, these are animated characters, they didn't really decide any of their design choices, the artist did
