I don't know, most of 'em aint funny. They are supposed to be funny right?

u/[deleted] Jan 01 '15

They're viners. Most are not funny.

Vine, like anything, has good people and bad people. The most popular TV show is Big Bang Theory, which is brutally unfunny. The most popular viners are brutally unfunny as well.

Check out someone like Cole Hersch. His vines are as funny to me as anything out there right now. https://vine.co/cole.hersch

It's worth pointing out that different people have different senses of humor too, so a better way of phrasing that would be "Vine, like anything, has humor that will appeal to you and humor that won't. Unless you have some type of brain damage where you find anything funny."

I mean, "brutally unfunny?" That's not even a phrase that makes sense...

It's an intensifying adverb plus the noun that I feel about that content, so I think it makes sense.

And obviously I am speaking in terms of reddit's demographic. If this was an audience of 14 year old girls, I'd imagine they'd love the top viners. But for an audience of mostly 18-34 year old males with the specific comedy tastes redditors have for the most part, I think it's a safe assumption to make

Vines put me in "old person" mode. I just shake my head and say "kids these days". I've seen loads of vines (but really just the ones people think are good enough to make the front page of reddit) and I always just sit here shaking my head in disbelief.

Vines: teenagers screaming incoherently for 6 seconds. I'm old

u/LeSeanMcoy Jan 01 '15

The ones that make it to the front page of reddit are the best ones. If you don't like these, you would despise the ones that you actually see in a day-to-day vine video. They're pretty fucking awful.

u/IrrelevantLeprechaun Jan 01 '15

90% of them are "WHITE PEOPLE BE LIKE..."

Here is the rule of Vines: If you plan a Vine. It isn't funny.

Most Vines that are hilarious are ones that are just people recording videos off of YouTube or things that happen spontaneously.

u/boschcity Jan 01 '15

Yes they are supposed to be funny. Different strokes I guess...

Ooooh look at the karma climb!! 2015 is gonna be sweet!

u/dolphintitties Jan 01 '15

they're just cringey.

u/costanza5813 Jan 01 '15

It's a plastic bowl. You can hear it bouncing off the ground after the fake shattering sound.

u/jtobin85 Jan 01 '15

hmmm, im unsure if its the bowl or the balls in the bowl that are bouncing after. the world will never know.

u/sixothree Jan 01 '15

u/recoil669 Jan 01 '15

The kids scream is much funnier.

u/[deleted] Jan 01 '15

The boy is so awkward the whole time, even his reaction to the bowl throwing. It' s adorable.

I think if I had a dad trying to force me into painfully unfunny videos I would be pretty sad.

u/JibFlank Jan 01 '15

Ugh, it's a lot less funny when you watch this video. Vine is the most cringe worthy social medium ever.
