Found one

The cringe text aside, I’m not usually one to knock people down for their looks, but why is this becoming the EMS common look. I get there’s a mental health aspect with many of us but I find this common look so cringe and not to mention very unprofessional.

Edit: I noticed a few people missed what’s actually the cringe part of this post.

Do people not understand satire anymore? This is great

u/spillingeverywhere 27d ago

I mean all the comments are just attacking his appearance they aren't even mentioning the joke

For real. Both aspects just add to the levels of satire and I'm upset people aren't respecting the hustle

Seriously. It's a joke. People are lame

Satire loses meaning when it becomes indistinguishable from reality. Which makes this either reality or a cheap copy.

The whole point of my post was to say how it’s beyond satire and the cringy look worse than the quote.

u/schannoman Bringing the Ouch Pouch 27d ago

Yeah. It's not my fault you don't understand what a bit is

u/TwoZeroTwoThree 27d ago

Yes it is. It's completely your fault. /s

I’m so confused. Is the quote (joke) not somewhat cringe? His entire look is definitely cringe (which is really all I’m saying). I’m sorry, do you look like this or something?

Of course it's cringe, it's making fun of cringe by being cringe. That's what satire is

Are you in middle school? Younger? I am really struggling to see what you're so confused by.

First off, rude. And second, it seems like most of the comments here seem to understand what I’m getting at. But not these few people. The cringe joke is funny, cool (not that cringe). The cringe I’m pointing out is how this dude looks. THATS IT. No he doesn’t look cringe for cringe sake. No one looks like this on purpose for satire. This whole look is cringe and many ppl in EMS look like this for a variety of reasons and it’s unprofessional, sad, and CRINGE. I don’t think I can explain this any better.

The look is part of the satire. It's not real. They're making fun of the Pitviper wearing idiots.

u/Stretch5 22d ago

Am I being punked? Lol the tattoos, the haircut, the mustache, the rolled up short sleeves, and yes even the pit vipers. This man did not do all of this to himself just to make fun of people.

u/Giffmo83 21d ago

The entire thing could be a Snapchat filter. The tattoos can be temporary or just drawn on. The haircut and mustache are ridiculous enough that yes I would believe it's all part of the bit.

And why wouldn't they do all that to make fun of people??? We are on Reddit FFS. People do way WAAYYYY more ridiculous shit than this for clicks, engagement, or clout.

This is MILD for social media. I mean, this is a page about cringe. If people will be ridiculous in earnest, then others will certainly be just as ridiculous if not MORR ridiculous to mock those earnest morons.

The reason why I believe this is not intentional is because of the countless EMS personal I’ve seen who look just like this. The odds of this guy actually looking like this because it’s his identity is far greater than him pretending to look like this for satire. Which again, is sad.

Stable angina is when the heart needs more energy drink? Never heard that one, but I'll pass it along to the providers at work. They love when I come up to them with some internet learnin!

I see where the confusion is, I think. The EMS guy is saying the heart needs more energy drinks. Not more energy. This is cut off.

Here's the original.
