“I can’t believe this only has a little over 4500 views. It’s amazing!”
“WHY THE HELL DOESN’T THIS VIDEO HAVE MORE VIEWS?”
“this could use another million views”
“Going viral in 3… 2… 1.”
“This is probably one of the funniest parodies on youtube. I don’t get why the video isn’t more popular.”
“How can a video with the line, “I gestated in a butt.” not have more views?”
We get these comments quite a bit — two back-to-back last night, in fact — and they remain the most coherent, sober, and intelligent responses we get from YouTube commenters (although “that is so stupid but so so funny hahahahahaha LOL” from ThisBitchGotSwag2012 remains a cerebral highlight, and let’s not forget “stupid man stupid thats copying that other video stupid man” from user 21emmak for its rich insights into the human condition).
I too wonder why we haven’t reach a larger audience, gentle YouTubers. It can be frustrating to think about, but mostly I think it’s a time-will-tell sort of situation. I’m certainly not complaining — for the love of Pete (r Faulk, RIP), we make these videos to make our friends and ourselves laugh, and that’s about it. Although, maybe they will feature less people in costumes and more people in regular clothes standing in regular rooms (costumes are ‘spensive).
But even if we’re only getting views from your grandma who accidentally typed “history of beatboxing” instead of “Nobama care,” we’ll keep making videos. We’re just like Madonna going to New York with only $50 in her pocket, except instead of New York, we’re on the Internet, and instead of $50 in her pocket, we have a bunch of fart jokes.
