That's cool I guess, but I always wonder if they're entirely scripted or they just go through X number of participants to get the reactions they want. Take this one, for example. I really have trouble believing it. I just feel like it would be the kids naming pop stars and celebs and the parents saying "I just want my kids to put down the video games for 5 minutes and eat at the dinner table." those ads are basically buzzfeed videos anyway

Yeah I'm gonna say this is 100% fake, if not I'll eat my (non-fruit) hat.

So loving terrible, you know they're fake. It's scripted to high hell and kids can't act for poo poo. Put piano and cello music in the background and have middle aged white women cry for some real dumb reason Another example https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LUHQnZUDh3I&t=150s

Saw this earlier today. Pretty benign as dumb marketing moves go, but I fail to see much of a connection between food safety and The Chipmunks. Depressio111117 has a new favorite as of 05:08 on Mar 31, 2016 |

A phone case manufacturer had sponsored some youtuber to test their product in TOTALLY WACKY AND RANDOM way. Not only does the phone in the sponsored case took equal amount of damage, you can watch this idiot play with shredded lithium ion batteries in his bare hands. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H2_FPuHbEtE

I just went to send an email using Gmail. I had two options to send it. One is "Send" and the other was "Send and drop mic." Am I having a loving episode right now? Seriously guys I'm really tired and coming down with something and I feel like I'm hallucinating edit:  it animates when you scroll over it like it shows it dropping guys help edit edit: also the end part looks bifurcated it looks like a tooth which only adds to my dismay and confusion sweeperbravo has a new favorite as of 02:27 on Apr 1, 2016 |

Send & drop mic sends your reply, archives the email thread, and auto-archives any replies that might come back. Pornhub should've gone with an april fools popup that just says "Succesfully shared to Facebook".

Wait...the "drop mic" feature didn't ACTUALLY send the recipient a gif of a Minion dropping a mic and then set things to "mute" without confirmation/a way to undo, right? It just made it look like it did from the sender's POV, right? Right? Google couldn't possibly be so stupid as to think actually having that appear in emails and auto-mute them was a good idea, right?
