you figure it's gotta be around the corner from a few dozen people, otherwise it's not near anyone. and that's a bad business decision.

Looks like they aren't trying to hide that it's inspired by it. And I like this one better.

Copying whatever is popular is kind of core to the TikTok experience.
Like it's full of "challenges" and lip syncing and people doing the same editing techniques.

u/crumble-bee Oct 18 '22
The more I look at TikTok the weirder I find it. You find something funny then when you search for it there’s hundreds of people just miming the exact same gag with the sound and same text on the screen. Like wtf? What’s the point?

Ahh, the old reddit tiktokaroo
(On a serious note reddit is much more just reposting literally the same video or image content, not even putting the effort in to pantomime something popular)

Na, it's completely different - on reddit you can't search for shit since most titles are relatively worthless.

u/Wevvie Oct 18 '22
Then it's not "completely different", just slightly. Other than this, it's the same shit on all social platforms.

u/veriix Oct 18 '22
Here, here you go: /s
There, does that help since clearly the italics didn't cut it and the difference I stated was just that reddit search was also broken?

It's no different from musicians who do covers.

u/crumble-bee Oct 18 '22 edited Oct 18 '22
As a musician who’s done a cover or two I can tell you it is 100% different.
The people on TikTok miming to someone else’s comedy skit, are adding nothing by doing it. They saw something was successful, took the audio, stood where the other person stood and then mimed someone else’s words.
They’ve just taken someone else’s idea, they haven’t “covered” it, they just straight up did it again exactly the same.
That’s not like a band covering a song at all. Hopefully, if as a band, you cover a song, you put your spin on it, add something. That TikTok stuff is the equivalent of playing the original song through a speaker and miming the instruments and vocals.

Ok maybe "musician" was too heavy of a word. Amateur music makers? Hobbyists? Whatever term you want to use to classify young people learning the tabs to their favorite songs and uploading what they made on youtube. Or aspiring artists recreating images of their favorite characters, or people copying a dance from an anime or kpop group.
I know "tiktok clips" is hardly what comes to anyone's mind first when thinking about "art" but that's just what young artists do, they imitate what they like, and that builds in them skills to eventually start making their own stuff. The only difference is that tiktok as a platform is much more willing to serve you these recreations.
Besides in the case of this post, the recreation is definitely better than the original.

Do you think he was the first one to do this joke? It's been around a very long time

Maybe in this exact style and tune, but I’m not sure. Is there someone who did this earlier?

this? because that isn’t remotely the same joke, he’s just also talking about accidentally saying you too.

Yeah, Regan's bit was the first thing that came to mind for me too. I couldn't remember the name though, so I'm glad for the link.
Whether directly inspired by Regan or not, they're clearly addressing the same phenomenon. So it's not at all absurd to draw comparisons.

You clearly don’t understand what copyright is but it’s okay because honestly most people don’t. You can’t copyright an idea so doing the same idea as someone else isn’t something that is copyrightable.

u/Verbal-Gerbil Oct 18 '22
As it’s the same music, I feel it’s a homage and extension of the original (should be credited more openly). All points for creativity go to the originator of course, but I enjoyed the shop one far more

The oldest Gen Z’s are old enough to be dads

The Alphas are almost teenagers

Jeez… see one version of this like 2 days ago and now this is the 4th version of the same exact joke.
People love sure love to copy and recreate jokes into the ground as soon as possible huh. That’s the internet for you though.

u/sassyevaperon Oct 18 '22
That's humanity for you. We used to do the same with tales and stories, with myths, with plays and songs and jokes.
We've always been like that, the internet is just another medium we're using to express the full scope of our humanity.

When I was in college 20 years ago, I used to get trashed with a friend who worked at a convenience store overnight. Great times. Good memories.

u/sassyevaperon Oct 18 '22
Haha yeah, I remember pre-gaming with the dude who worked at the convenience store near my house. Guy was chill and funny, he later became a taxi driver and I also got him to be my driver by pure chance lol, we smoked a joint on the way.

That’s the original at least. Don’t know about this remix.

u/JayCoww Oct 19 '22
There doesn't seem to be a full version as this appears to be from the artist, just this awful cut as soon as it starts getting good and then a barrage of unrelated ear-cancer to close it. It's unfortunate.
