Papermate Bp Youtube Review (Satire)

[jmccarty3]

If you haven't seen this, prepare to enjoy a brilliant send-up of every fountain pen review video on YouTube. Full of nice touches, such as using the back of a bank statement envelope instead of Rhodia or Tomoe River.

I am sure that some will find this to be offensive, but not I.

Too funny!

Now, if only a pompous voiceover was included....

[J85909266]

Loved it. Every second.

[ThePrecursor]

Can someone let me in on why this is funny? BTW I didn't find it offensive/rude in any way, just don't know what's going on.

[Algester]

a gag on how ever FP review has been done but isnt this just an ASMR video

[takkun]

I lost it at 'my butt'.

[Arkanabar]

It absolutely needed a pompous voice-over, extolling both the virtues of the pen and the paper used in excruciating detail.

[jmccarty3]

I like it better without the voice-over--makes it more of an "inside joke."

[Fabienne]

He really needed to go on and on and on about every excruciating test he could Possibly do on the pen and then have some whiny voice ask for something even more specific (infra red photos of the pen, please, with a video to go with) then have the reviewer abashed he hadn't thought of that and promise to do them faithfully right after he buys the machinery and props for a proper dark room set-up.

Do we have any idea who did the video? Is s/he one of "us" or making fun of us?

Yeah, the "my butt" was good. But I thought the really funny part was just tossing the pen back in the drawer (sans cap, I noticed) at the end.

Hey, if I didn't know better (like the facts that we don't own video equipment or buy Papermate pens) I might have thought that it was my husband making that video....

Ruth, it has to be one of us. You would have to be very familiar with FPs, paper, and ink, and would have to have watched dozens of video reviews, to do this so cleverly. I mean, this is devastatingly funny.
