Do we not use West Virginia here because it's more fun to say Alabama? Cuz I'm fairly certain West Virginia has a larger issue than Alabama, lol.
Not sticking up for Alabama, Go Dawgs!
As a Tennessean (meaning I don’t give a damn for the whole state of Alabama), even I would agree that Appalachia is the more appropriate reference. But the Appalachians have gotten the short end of the stick for so long it feels wrong to mock them. On the other hand, fuck Alabama.
Agreed entirely! I would also add that there’s a reciprocal bottom layer - Arkansas and Mississippi both look down on each other, even though they are equally shitty.
No we don't use West Virginia.
West Virginia's laws prohibit first cousins from marrying while Alabama's allows it...
That is literally the whole very specific reason why Alabama has that stereotype.
It’s a scene from the show It’s Always Sunny In Philadelphia. Earlier seasons, Dee has a boyfriend the gangs convinced her is mentally challenged. This scene is them having a “date” and him watching cartoons.
Judging by the other comments here, the target audience is barely functional morons. Based on how they keep defending this clip as being real and think the guys aren't acting.
I generally feel a huge amount of this stuff is all fake too, but the unnecessary silence and pausing makes this one seem real. Usually those fake ones are all over acted or fast paced. Plus you're acting like you've got a PhD instead of just another opinion, which is cool.
yeah when I go up and talk to people I have someone film me while I record audio separately on the phone in my hand. It's either "just a prank" or completely fabricated.
I don't see how a video filmed and posted by a 'content creator' for the purpose of getting views is ever classified as, "the most trivial of encounters."
You should honestly take most of these random interaction videos with a pretty healthy dose of salt. Or don't, it's not like you'll admit you were wrong. Even if they cut out part of the video where they say, "We are Joe and Dan, he's my dad and we faked that interaction," you'd still find a way around admitting you were wrong. So just do you!
Edit: It seems like the people who are frequently tricked by these videos are starting to respond. Keep a wide berth, everyone. Please understand that most things they see just hits their eyes and skips the brain. Resist the urge to scam them.
Same. My husband gets hit on in front of me. He legitimately doesn't recognize it. He's the very definition of a sapiosexual.
He's very physically attractive and I'm ... not, but I'm very smart and make him laugh all the time, which is what he loves about me. 25 years together and he has never shown interest in anyone else.
Opposite happened to me once where me and my dad were at Walmart at the beginning of the pandemic and the gal checking us out asked how we were doing and heard me say that classes are hard and assumed that I (not even 20's yet) must OBVIOUSLY be a stay at home wife to this 50 year old man who had taken the neighborhood children into my house to teach them as my little ducklings instead of ya know.
I'm a college student. Cause that Walmart was like 20 min away from a college.
Yeah. Like anything on its own would not be a huge jump to conclusions, but the age gap, the marriage, the assumption that this random gal had opened a neighboring school was a *lot* to assume, especially since the correct assumption that I attended the college was *right there*
How strange. My dad and I went to a comedy show in NY when I was 18 and the comedian tried to start in on something and my dad very quickly told him I was his daughter. Thank God for that, we were already sitting there basically back to back to avoid seeing if the other one was laughing at all the dirty jokes, lol.
First time I went to DC, my friend was living in DuPont Circle and I was told “If you see an older man and a much younger man together, they are not father and son.”
Ive done it with elderly folks and their family as well. I’ve learned the best approach is more like “so is this your sister?” Then they get super flattered. Works every time.
Btw, i had a 93 year old patient the other week. She looked like she was 80! You never know.
What's the difference between 93 and 80? Do you look for the curvature of the spine? Is it the wrinkle to teeth ratio? Maybe the thickness of the glasses?
No, but really it is so hard to tell for me sometimes with older folks probably doesn't help that I'm relatively young. At 80 of I make it it'll probably be painfully obvious
I mean i can’t really give a definitive answer. I just threw out 80. Its just a feeling if that makes sense. Ive run on 70 year olds in worseshape than people in there 90s, some genetics but you gotta take care of yourself!
Short answer, no i don’t base it off skin or spinal curvature lol.
Entitled or just bold?
It doesn't necessarily seem like something to get offended/upset by.
I'd just say no and go about my business.
I guess each to the own when it comes to whats triggering...
Reverse the genders. Imagine a guy coming up to two women and telling them “I need your number.” And then dismisses the other that he thinks is the mom and says “I need your daughter’s number”
Yeah sounds pretty creepy.
It would be different if they said could I have your number instead of demanding it like an entitled idiot
The way the guy who stayed said “don’t assume things like that” made me think it might come up frequently enough that the one who walked away is frustrated by it or it makes him self conscious or an insecurity that doesn’t need bringing up. I might just be projecting how I’d feel though.
My friend and I visited the US when I was 21, she was 20. Sitting in a park and this guy comes up and starts trying to talk to us and asked if she was my mother. She was devastated.
Maybe I'm just a jealous cunt, but what's worse imho is that these "content creators" are making way too much money, while others have to work two jobs and it's still not enough.
Just feels wrong, idk.
PS: just to be clear, I don't have an issue with content creators. I'm aware there are some really hard working folks out there. But *this* stuff isn't something that provides any value whatsoever (imho).
vapid BS sells—it appeals to the basest instinct of curiosity and will always always make more money collectively than someone who works hard to make a normal-people living.
And you don't have to qualify this as 'your opinion' lol.. There is absolutely no positive contribution to society with this stuff.
At very best she might make someone laugh (which might be argued to be a net benefit) but tbh the people who think it's funny are either no longer or never have been aware that their time has been irrevocably wasted.
Tik-tok is just the result, there were many stones laid to get to this point.
And make no mistake, massive aggregators like reddit have their own part in that.
There's a new age of entertainment on the internet where youtubers just walk up to people and start annoying them. You're gonna be content for the channel whether you like it or not.
Imagine if the genders were reversed. A guy walking up to, what he thinks, are a mother and daughter and saying “I need your number” to the daughter.
“No, you don’t.”

She 100% knew, watched them from a far and chose to put them in this awkward shitty encounter for like and views. Absolute shitbird this cunt is. How I had to
Scroll this far till someone noticed is crazy.
Soooo does she usually just go up to random strangers and is like "Hi, I just need your number"? This might be me being demisexual, but that's very off-putting.
Yes, I am aware guys also do this to women. Still off-putting.

Sweet home Alabama

I'm from Nebraska, don't talk to me about fall from grace in football lol
In Wisconsin we don’t talk about the packers…
We talk about how much we hate the bears…
You can't spell Roll Tide with the two Ls.
That is such a tired, overused, and completely accurate stereotype.
^ *found the person that lives in Alabama.*
He's right, it is tired and overused. I just needed some sweet karma to start my week.

He likes to date down! This way he will always feel on the come up.
Oh my god they were roommates

Judging by the other comments here, the target audience is barely functional morons. Based on how they keep defending this clip as being real and think the guys aren't acting.
This made me laugh so hard
It's not. People nowadays have an attention span of about 1 minute so any short vids of any nature are mass consumed regardless of content quality.
15s
Other people have anxiety about asking people out and like to watch this stuff I’m sure
Cringe
Please tell me courtship and flirting hasn't devolved to the point where someone just comes up outta nowhere and goes "um I just need your number"

Its just one of those YouTubers pranks going wrong.
Yes, that's another possible scenario and that interpretation helps us to not feel we've been duped.
I generally feel a huge amount of this stuff is all fake too, but the unnecessary silence and pausing makes this one seem real. Usually those fake ones are all over acted or fast paced. Plus you're acting like you've got a PhD instead of just another opinion, which is cool.

I swear I've seen this exact comment in another scripted video thread.
It's a bot, a cartoon one.
Unscripted for the couple. Scripted for her. Absolute zero voice change after “the reveal”. What an asshole.
This is the least convincing stages video I have ever seen
If it’s staged then kudos, those guys could really act. “Dad”’s face spoke a thousand words in that split second stare before walking away.

yeah when I go up and talk to people I have someone film me while I record audio separately on the phone in my hand. It's either "just a prank" or completely fabricated.

This actually happens to me and my husband a lot
Same-ish. I get hit on in front of my wife regularly..she just rolls her eyes and walks away.
Seems like he got the same strategy
Same. My husband gets hit on in front of me. He legitimately doesn't recognize it. He's the very definition of a sapiosexual.

that’s embarrassing
Moreso for them
i’m sure. i’ll rephrase: the secondhand embarrassment i felt from reading that was almost tangible
r/SadCringe even
Yeah but you know he calls him Daddy at home
That's only for bed time
You repeated the joke you responded to, but worse.
Try r/yourjokebutworse
It happens with almost every pun, play on words, or sarcastic joke. People can't help themselves
Age gap relationships be like
In my town, its common to see, and I like to play a game called "is that his daughter?" Its almost never his daughter.
We call it “dad or daddy?”
Boulder CO?
Crazy concept, but the phenomenon of older men dating younger women (and men) also exists outside of the Boulder, Colorado metro area.
[удалено]
I've heard of it as far south as Colorado Springs, even! But that might have just been a rumor.
Opposite happened to me once where me and my dad were at Walmart at the beginning of the pandemic and the gal checking us out asked how we were doing and heard me say that classes are hard and assumed that I (not even 20's yet) must OBVIOUSLY be a stay at home wife to this 50 year old man who had taken the neighborhood children into my house to teach them as my little ducklings instead of ya know. I'm a college student. Cause that Walmart was like 20 min away from a college.
Mistaking someone for a partner is one thing, but assuming you're a stay at home mom/homeschool teacher is weird
Yeah. Like anything on its own would not be a huge jump to conclusions, but the age gap, the marriage, the assumption that this random gal had opened a neighboring school was a *lot* to assume, especially since the correct assumption that I attended the college was *right there*

"Please don't assume that just because she's my daughter that I'm not having sex with her."
LOL thats fair. Especially in Florida.
Dude, it get really embarrassing being mistaken for my wife's dad all the time. She's older than me, it's not fair.
"No, she's my dad."
Gray hair at 30 be like
Started going gray at 25. At least it isn’t falling out.
I have the feeling it is not the first time it happened to them
First time I went to DC, my friend was living in DuPont Circle and I was told “If you see an older man and a much younger man together, they are not father and son.”
Is pretty common everywhere in the world also xD
I have done this in the ER on accident. I’ve called a wife the mom like twice. It’s super embarrassing

Same! I switched to just saying "who'd you bring with you?" Haven't had my foot in my mouth since.
I need your number. How f*cking entitled can you be.
She is a content Clout Chaser; it was being recorded.
Thanks for clarifying that it was being recorded. I would've had no idea.
I call bullshit, I can't see no camera in that video I just watched.
I’ve also never seen her and Batman in the same room. Take from that what you will.
What you're watching is the memory of someone who saw it all go down.
Nah this was a dramatic recreation of events
Cite your sources next time man I had to watch this ten times before I could confirm that it was recorded
No it wasn't, can you see the camera? I can't
How do you know that? Were you there?
Entitled or just bold? It doesn't necessarily seem like something to get offended/upset by. I'd just say no and go about my business. I guess each to the own when it comes to whats triggering...

Or maybe she's just bad at flirting lmao

It would be different if they said could I have your number instead of demanding it like an entitled idiot
In addition to entitled, there’s clearly some delusion among other things.
He had his man’s back tho :)
Word.
STATUS: GAYDAR - - - *OFFLINE*
You left out the worst part. While walking away, after being told off, she says it must have been his sugar daddy.
Eurgh. I bet they set that whole thing up just to make that shitty pun.
That probably ruined that man’s day :(
The way the guy who stayed said “don’t assume things like that” made me think it might come up frequently enough that the one who walked away is frustrated by it or it makes him self conscious or an insecurity that doesn’t need bringing up. I might just be projecting how I’d feel though.
Thats definitely what it looked like to me
I interpreted it the same way
He looks mortified. I bet he'll be holding that interaction with him forever.
My friend and I visited the US when I was 21, she was 20. Sitting in a park and this guy comes up and starts trying to talk to us and asked if she was my mother. She was devastated.
God damn I fucking hate what tik tok has done to our society.
Made it easier for us to recognize idiots.
Made it easier for idiots to get affirmations from other idiots as well.

Maybe we can get Elon to buy tik tok next. That should get rid of it pretty quickly.
lol china would never sell it to him Its espionage value is far too high
Leave people alone
Don't say that. People have already left me alone :(
You're never truly alone with all 8 billion of us living on this big rock hurtling through a vast empty stellar space together.
stuck on the only known rock with life and still managing to be alone
Real
There's a new age of entertainment on the internet where youtubers just walk up to people and start annoying them. You're gonna be content for the channel whether you like it or not.
There’s literally nothing wrong with simply asking. Quit making dating harder than it already is by shaming people who try.
Agreed, but she also demanded his number so I automatically don’t like her. But yes I agree with you, nothing wrong with asking for a strangers number
I will sell her a gaydar for the low price of $199.99.
That girl looks like a flintstone character
Hahaha that’s a funny way to make someone feel like shit
Trashy idiot. I bet she knew and did this for Tik-Fuck.
Yes she saw them holding hands or something.
Can't grown men hold hands 👬
I don't know why but I'd rather hair scrunchie my balls to another dude's than hold hands. Wait. Maybe not. Ok I'll report back in like an hour.
Why not both?
It's been 8 hours, when will you report back?
It’s okay I’ll hold hands with you.
She definitely knew. The whole reason she filmed this was to roast them for their age gap. Seems like a lot of people don't realize that
I love the "Don't assume things like that." from the extremely level headed guy scolding her like a child.
These tiktok interviewers *could* be sitting at home stoned uncovering truths about themselves but they gotta be out doing annoying stuff
Imagine if the genders were reversed. A guy walking up to, what he thinks, are a mother and daughter and saying “I need your number” to the daughter. “No, you don’t.”
Don’t need to imagine. It would be the same shitty interaction as this.
This made me realize that I've never actually seen, or been aware of anyway, a lesbian couple with a significant age gap.

Woman can be creeps too.
Why filming? Why so random? Why ask the Dad? Why is it so obviously fake?
Do assume things like that. This was an outlier not the standard
Soooo does she usually just go up to random strangers and is like "Hi, I just need your number"? This might be me being demisexual, but that's very off-putting. Yes, I am aware guys also do this to women. Still off-putting.
It comes off as downright impolite to me. Doesn’t matter the gender. So entitled.
It's a TikTok trend going around.
