Why are people so easily amused by crap on the Internet?

[kainedamo]

Sometimes when flicking through things on the 'net I'm amazed by the kinds of things people find entertaining. From lame lolcats to boring ass videos of people trying to be funny.

Case in point, 21 accents on youtube...

How does something so crap get 741,829 views, a high star rating, and nothing but nice comments? It's not even slightly amusing. She just says the same phrase slightly altered over and over and over in different accents that are all annoying coming out of her mouth.

Here's another one of her vids.

It's literally just 3 minutes of her pretending to get ready while listening to music. 26,101 views. Someone left the comment, "Damn this girl's talented." What the hell are you talking about?!??!? Talented how?? I, on the other hand, left the comment "Amy Walker, why do you upload these boring videos?".

For something so stupid getting so many views, this one takes the cake.

Perhaps because they have a sense of humor?

 

[Two-Face]

What a crap.....

 

[CBGB]

I hate it when people edit that Zelda CDI game or whatever, and add pointless sound effects and music.

 

[Asteroid-Man]

"Hey shut up" *Quagmire voice* Heretic, that one's awesome!

Afro Ninja is amazing.

Dear God, she looks, acts and talks like my ex-girlfriend.

Never question Afro Ninja.

This has turned into the opposite of what the thread starter seems to have intended...

I dunno, it seems to me like people have a low bar for humor.

Like, the Juggernaut ***** thing, that was NEVER funny. And yet it seemed like many found it side splittingly hilarious.

I think the kid with the squeaky voice stuff isn't getting attention because of the content of his videos. He's the type of kid most girls his own age go crazy for nowadays.

I know...that was the point. I was jacking the thread.

Now someone get that grape stomping lady and we're all set.

There is no such thing as lowbar, that's just an excuse to make yourself seem like you do. It's you either have a a sense of humor or you don't, no ifs, buts and such.

 

[tuffenoughtoroc]

If I hear "Hello, I'm Amy Walker..." one more time!....

 

[huskerwebhead]

It's probably getting so many views because there are about 500 other people on 500 other message boards posting links to these videos asking "why do people keep going to these videos?! Why do they have so many hits!?"

Way to play RIGHT into her hands. tsk tsk tsk

 

[bullets]

10 people like it and then 50 people go to see what the fuss is about and so on.

That Juggernaut ***** video was the most overrated piece of crap ever.

I thought that video was pretty funny. It just boils down to people having different senses of humor.

 

[Drizzle]

Kaine, why do you have to be a hater? People have different tastes. Deal with it.

And "The Juggernaut *****" was totally funny.

I don't understand why clips of that "Secret Life of the American Teenager" are always featured on the home page of YouTube. Watched the show once out of curiosty and it's unbelievably horrible.
