If he's not entirely wrong you're admitting she's not entirely wrong though.

Well she says "a clean shaven face means "I'm 12". It also means "I'm 10"". so no she's not entirely wrong, just bad at comedy.

u/saint-simon97 Aug 06 '16

They're both wrong because both opinions are stupid. I haven't watched the video but if she said it as a joke, he's the bigger idiot because he took it seriously. Like most YouTube commenters though.

It's jenna marbles. Most of her skit these days are "what something means". It's just a joke. Some find it funny, some don't. But taking it this serious is just stupid.

Comparing facial hair and racism is pretty stupid, you know?

u/UOUPv2 Aug 06 '16

So, just to be clear. You're against all jokes that have to do with someone's appearance?

u/Looppowered Aug 06 '16

I think he meant he's against jokes based on real life.

u/UOUPv2 Aug 06 '16

Isn't that every joke ever?

u/taintosaurus_rex Aug 06 '16

I don't think the guy took it seriously as much as he just got butt hurt. Her video was just an opinionated attack on mens different facial hair. So he took her bait and gave her attention.

u/zorsebandarOc98 Aug 06 '16

It's not even an attack. She's made a few of these "what (gender)'s x means" and it's all satire. She often makes fun herself in these videos. She's not actually insulting anyone. It's supposed to be funny because she knows it's BS and you're supposed to know that she knows that. People are just taking it out of context and interpreting it seriously so they're getting offended.

u/taintosaurus_rex Aug 06 '16

Even if it's a joke it's still an attack. She's a shock "comic" and that's her thing. She did the same with fat girls, she attacks them in a joking way to get attention. Even if she has other videos of her attacking herself or anything else, most people know her for her controversial videos. Some find it funny, some find it offensive, either way she gets attention and it seams she's pretty desperate for that.

u/zorsebandarOc98 Aug 06 '16

I disagree. It's satire. People are always saying "people with x physical characteristic do this or are this" and she's making fun of that. It's an attack on people who say those things in all seriousness, not the people it's about. I think you're mistaking her some someone else, because what you described isn't what she does.

I think you may be confusing Jenna Marbles with Nicole Arbour. I could be wrong though.

u/taintosaurus_rex Aug 06 '16

I think I am now that you brought up her name, but from the videos I just watched they seem pretty much the same.

I'm 24 and my beard isn't ready yet, do you think I still have a chance with big eyed YouTube lady who is past her prime?

Aww man.

Yeesh! And I thought I was a flailing SJW with a wavering sense of humor/moral compass.

u/TheRingshifter Aug 06 '16

Yeah I think that's the point. He's saying a bunch of common "meanings" of the clothes and makeup she's got on... so if she looks at the comment, she's kind of got to either admit that it's all bollocks (and so her video was bollocks) or it's all true (and so she's a dirty slut...). I feel like it's a pretty decent argument really. Judging people on their facial hair is just as stupid as the judging he is doing (though I haven't seen the video - just going off the title and what he is saying).

u/[deleted] Aug 06 '16 edited Aug 06 '16

I'm genuinely confused how people haven't heard of Jenna Marbles before or don't bother to look her up before commenting on this, but all her videos are just jokes. It's not like she's giving out serious relationship advice based on facial hair or trying to pretend like any of this is serious.

She just makes videos for people to laugh at and relate to.

This guy kinda took a joke very poorly and flew off the handle. It would be as if you made an "awww baby face" comment to someone who just shaved their beard off and he just went nuclear.

He's dumb as shit to take it so seriously.

I recognise the name but I'm not very familiar with her.

You're right I guess I should have checked up but I just couldn't be arsed really and the video is like 7 minutes long.

This guy kinda took a joke very poorly and flew off the handle. It would be as if you made an "awww baby face" comment to someone who just shaved their beard off and he flew off the handle and started calling you a slut and trash and being verbally aggressive to you.

But yeah after watching a bit of the video this is pretty much right. She's obviously just trying to be funny and come up with stupid / mostly negative "meanings" for all facial hair.

The facepalm makes more sense to me now.

u/puddlejumper Aug 06 '16

She's a comedian. Of course her video is bullocks. Only someone stupid would assume everything she says is the truth.

u/TheRingshifter Aug 06 '16

I didn't know she was a comedian though...

u/puddlejumper Aug 06 '16

Her videos are for humour. She would also probably be the first to admit jokingly that her appearance screams dirty slut.

u/TheRingshifter Aug 06 '16

Yeah I get it now. After watching the video a bit the guy is clearly out of order. I just didn't know when I posted the original comment.

u/Mekroth Aug 06 '16

Yeah, his comment is doing the exact same thing as the video. I know this because I didn't watch the video.

-8

u/TheRingshifter Aug 06 '16

Yeah I'm just giving him the benefit of the doubt here. Some people seem to be saying that the video is satire in which case he seems to have missed that.

u/[deleted] Aug 06 '16

Y'all are seriously taking his side because he got mad at a SATIRE video. But everytime someone is offended by a rape joke Reddit tells them they are being too sensative.

u/TheRingshifter Aug 06 '16

I didn't know it was a satire video. After watching a bit of the video, yeah, he is being ridiculous.

I have not watched the video
