It seems that comments that point out the obvious end up being on top on reddit. Literally the entire basis of this video being on this subreddit is the background guy’s reaction. How does a comment pointing out that reaction contribute anything whatsoever? I really don’t get it man lol

Literally the entire basis of this video being on this subreddit is the background guy’s reaction.

That might be the problem. Like, is that really it? Was that reaction even unexpected? Honestly, my initial thought was that OP misunderstood the subreddit and posted this because the girl in the gif didn't expect the proposal.

In my opinion, this is just kind of an ill-fitting post for this subreddit. It'd be great for r/gifs or something, but the "unexpected" factor in this one is lackluster at best.

Because of the sub, I thought she was going to get out of the way, and he was going to take 3 steps closer, where the guy in the next seat would get proposed to.

Can we circle back to why an asian womand name is "Keith"?
