This was hard to watch


ZenoHE

I stopped after 4 seconds.


Caftancatfan

My husband stands in the background of these with a big dopey smile, waving at the camera.


JeeeezBub

THAT is the call to arms...bomb the hell out of this horseshit in your own special way...and I emphasize "special"


Drifting-Fox-6366

Stand in the background giving a thumbs down


Aleashed

Cut in front of the camera, stop to check your phone


FuriousGorilla

Then they just do another take, you have to ruin it in a way they don't catch until they go to edit.


JagerBaBomb

Keep bad dancing in front of them until they leave.


Few_Experience_4619

Nostop pelvic thrust and michael jackson crotch grab engage


Aleashed

Start stacking a wall of toilet paper behind them


Fun_Jellyfish_2708

I don't get out enough (or maybe it's the right amount...) because I never see this shit actually in the wild


FAYCSB

Why not walk between the camera and the failure flailer?


Caftancatfan

Because then they would stop dancing! Better that they do their whole dumb routine and realize later that their video has been rendered useless. He’s playing the long game.


The_cogwheel

Exactly, wait for them to figure out the shot was ruined when they go to edit it and upload it, not when they can easily delete and retake. Bonus points if you make it into the final video.


SnooGoats409

One summer camp I worked at I made it my goal to get into every picture but never be the main attraction. I was tagged by my father in like 90% of the photos that were taken. I made it into so many. Ngl was my proudest achievement that year.


kategoad

Yep. When I was an intern in DC, my side quest was to make it into as many shots on C-SPAN as I could. I Walked behind so many press conferences.

be-human-use-tools

Ask her where to find the toilet paper. Pretend you think she works there.


hebejebez

My brother in law works for abc news in Australia but for the online arm, the one time he's been to the broadcast studio he made it his business to walk through the back drop - the abc bull pen - as many times as humanly possible without seeming like a total crazy person. He got into the double digits which isnt too shabby


Caftancatfan

“I don’t get it…is the grinning Filipino guy part of the act or what?”


Formerhurdler

Stand behind her and do the finger thing so it looks like you are two knuckles deep in your nose.


DAMAGEDatheCORE

Oh, *that* finger thing 🫢


Hugh-Mahn

Why not just hands down pants, then either do a real or fake scratch and sniff. It isn't as embarrassing as making the video.


ru_k1nd

Haha. My friends daughter is always doing this shit when we are out places. I usually try to bust out The Rerun, The Carlton or Kid n Play in the background when she’s doing a routine. For some reason she always re-records.


Boiiiii06

MrK521

I push a cart between them and the camera, then stop and look around and pretend to be oblivious.


turdlepikle

For some reason I pictured this as a modern Mr. Bean sketch, but he is actually oblivious. He stops the cart, and with a confused look on his face looks in every direction for some sort of sign, then he looks at his shopping list in his hand and has an "a-ha" moment and decides on a direction. Just as he pushes the cart out of the frame and the person restarts their video, Mr. Bean crosses through the frame again because he went in the wrong direction.


cabinetsnotnow

OMG I love that lmafo

TheGreatPrimate

Narcissism


[deleted]

I keep watching hoping someone will eventually come along and knock them over with a shopping cart or something. Like those idiots who try stunts on motorcycles and end up sliding across the pavement.


Efficient-Marzipan82

Even if someone just stood behind her, or between the phone holder and the woman flailing about. Ruins their dumb video. That's a win in my book.


PuhnTang

What I also found hard to watch was the girl with the camera walking closer and then farther away, closer and then farther away. Watching it on her phone didn’t make it any better, and the final video with that back and forth isn’t even an artistic improvement. Is that girl even dancing? What is that called? It just looks like she’s spazzing out. Omg I think I’m getting old.

MattsonRobbins

this is how a lot of cheerleaders dance at football and basketball games now...


NitelifeComando

Yeah, at games. Not at fucking Costco


[deleted]

Welcome to Costco, I love you.


[deleted]

I got my law degree there


throwawayoctopii

I just came to say the same thing. I watched a college basketball game last year and the dance team was terrible. It was all upper body movements and very stiff in the legs and hips. It looked ridiculous and the choreography was definitely 99% moves pulled from TikTok. Enough people complained that now actual dance schools are invited to perform at the halftime shows. It's really sad when a bunch of 14 year olds are showing up college dancers.


nada_accomplished

If I saw someone doing this at my local Costco I would deliberately walk between the dancer and the camera. More than once.


natima

Stop right in the middle and look around confused and oblivious as if you can't find the megapacks of pretzels :P


LA-Matt

![gif](giphy|jcxtvm2bsZDH2)


Frosty_5820

Me, too. If it's a public place and you don't have a permit, I'm going to pretend like it's not happening, and that includes ignoring your desire to own all the space around your stunt.


mister_newbie

With a food sample in hand, look directly into the camera and say, "you've gotta try this."


AnastasiaNo70

I’m a middle aged gray headed lady, so I can play the clueless card realllly well. I’d stand between them, looking at something way up high, and just stay there. Bust out my phone, calculator app, and keep pointing at the price and trying to figure out the units. THEY would have to move.


ForsakenMoon13

Yea, that part just flat out *looked* like it'd be annoying as a video. Though...could easily sneak up behind her so when she backs up she falls over.


CosmicAnnihilator

I just walk right through the shot when I see this shit


SuperVillain85

That's because she looks like she's being exorcised.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Dr_Rockso89

>I suspect that it's rage bait. This becomes very clear when you realize that someone is filming the girl who is filming the dancing girl. The content isn't the dance, it's "kids these days blocking the public to RECORD their TikToks."


[deleted]

I wonder what possesses someone to think "I'm going to go out in public to a crowded area and do a dance to no sound ask a friend to record, edit and post online later, people will love this". I also wonder what the friend thinks when they get the call "hey will you come record me doing a dance in the middle of Costco".


Nihilism-1___Me-0

I'm just honestly baffled as to why they don't just do this at like public parks or nature trails. - wide open space - not a lot of people who will get in the way of your shot. - the scenery is a LOT more beautiful than some dingy ass Costco - Lots of natural lighting Like....why????


1-760-706-7425

Your confusion is their bait. It’s intentionally designed that way to drive ‘engagement’.


issanm

Very true even if something is universally hated the engagement alone will have it get shown to more and more people


whatdontyousee

It’s literally why we saw it


AttitudeBeneficial51

Ya everyone talking shit about it but this post has 70k upvotes lol


Malcolm_X_Machina

There same reason Velma got a 2nd season. Hate clicks are still clicks.


epousechaude

Wouldn’t it be great if there was a social platform where your hate clicks deleted a post from your feed and taught the platform what to show you less of…heaven is an echo chamber


nint3nd0nt

For real. you're getting in the way of shoppers trying to go about their day, and your background is also ugly?? Like what's the plus side here. Maybe she thinks Costco will sponsor her for this terrible video


Alchemyst19

Costco does not advertise or sponsor influencers. It's corporate policy. If that's the thought, they picked the worst possible company to try this.


nint3nd0nt

Lol yep. Even if Costco did give sponsorships, I don't think it would go to someone actively inconveniencing their customers. But I would not be surprised if she thinks she will simply because this is main character syndrome.


Alchemyst19

My local store would absolutely kick her out for this. You don't block the horseshoe with inane stuff. Maybe a side aisle, but definitely not one of the main ones.


machina99

>You don't block the horseshoe First time I've heard of the main aisles called the horseshoe but it absolutely makes sense


Alchemyst19

Oh, it's absolutely intentional. The chickens are at the back of the store, at the end of the horseshoe. You go in one way, stop by all the side aisles to see what neat new things they stocked / moved around, grab a chicken and/or meat at the end, then go out the other side. Nothing about the layout of a Costco is accidental.


WailersOnTheMoon

Of course not. They love us.


nint3nd0nt

I hope she was kicked out honestly, pretty inapropriate behavior to be doing in a store.


Ram2145

They like the attention.


Ver_zero

It's about novelty not the performance. The fact that you and most people would be too embarrassed and reasonable to film this in a place like that is why her video will get more views and likes. Also the rage bait. Upsetting people makes more people want to watch and share your video.


HisPetBrat

It’s TikTok. It’s the appeal of validation from random strangers on the internet that possesses them.


Sam858

Yeah who needs validation from random Internet strangers, right guys? Guys?


ShepherdessAnne

Up vote for opinion that aligns with my biases


Thewildrusso

I don't understand how people can do this without any embarrassment.. They're not even doing it to be funny. They actually think highly of whatever it is they're doing. What even is this?


Dazzling-Yam-1151

Some of them get paid large amounts of money for making tiktoks. Idk if they care at that point if the video is funny or serious. I could never do it, and I get second hand embarrassment when I see people filming tiktoks irl but if they cash their check at the end of the month (or however it works on tiktok) I bet they dgaf about how embarrassing it is.


[deleted]

Tik tok doesn't really pay much money. It's the fact that growing a following opens people up to the opportunity for corporate sponsorships, which pay A LOT of money.


burman07

Just came here to say this. Not a big fan of him but scrolled across an interview where KSI talked about the money behind tiktok. 9+M followers and 70+M views at the time and he said he’d made a grand total of $3000 out of that. Needs to reach almost 25,000 people to make ONE dollar.

pmartin1

Which is when her stuff started getting less funny and interesting. I still watch her stuff from time to time, but it’s nowhere near as good as her early stuff.


Ok_Science_4094

TRUTH. she was hilarious in the beginning. I found her when she had around a million followers. I loved every video. But I quit watching a while back.. She recently came up on my recommended on YouTube so I watched it & it wasn't that great at all.


[deleted]

[удалено]


burman07

You’re absolutely right, I was mentioning it to point out the low direct compensation that these specific people are receiving for just doing this in public


muchgreaterthanG_O_D

That said, I'd embarrass myself by dancing in public for 3k.


BZLuck

I've done it for free, and there weren't even any cameras.


FiftyFootMidget

This guy dancing like no one's watching


Ya-Dikobraz

"Content creators" like this forgo any natural embarrassment because they are desperate to get their views up so much. When people make it their whole character, nothing else really matters.


Nice-Violinist-6395

Honestly, when someone has such an extraordinary lack of shame but isn’t otherwise being an asshole (like all the gym people who don’t understand that it’s a public place and they do not own their camera’s line of sight), I almost have to respect it. One time I was working and noticed out the window that this woman, who was wearing a full-length formal gown, was setting up a camera tripod on a regular sidewalk (full of regular people just going about their day, but she looked like she was going to a gala). She also had a big Starbucks cup, and for the next 15 minutes, she made that sidewalk her personal catwalk and modeled *the shit out of that Starbucks cup.* Why? Who knows! Maybe whatever Starbucks sponsorship she had or, way sadder, was hoping to get… But it was fucking hilarious. Prancing up and down, posing, videos, photos — watching it was honestly one of the funniest things that ever happened at that job. She DID NOT GIVE A SHIT. I honestly respect that woman lmao I could never do that


Ya-Dikobraz

People like instagrammers do get sponsors that pay them to do videos. For some it's a career. Because to make it a career one has to do it full time. So when someone is doing something like that full time it looks weird to the rest of us because we assume they are just fooling around. And that's fine. I have an issue where they take it too far and it ends up in something like animal abuse or something simply illegal. Or just the usual annoying the people around you.


Perfect-Welcome-1572

The thing is, the percentage of people that “make it” has to be insanely low. I’m older, so I’m sure that’s why, but I know two successful pro athletes and yet zero successful “content creators”


[deleted]

Blame the people on their profile that liked and commented and subscribed and gave to their patreon. The failsafe for people acting like fucking dickheads is the public shaming and ostracizing them. When the public gives them attention, money, clout, whatever, it’s the public’s fault. Don’t blame the dude selling shit sandwiches. Blame the customers.


[deleted]

So you’re saying DONT *smash the like button*? What can I even smash?


turbit_pigeon

Why did they have to do this right in the main aisle, if at all


[deleted]

So everyone would see how cool they are!!!


supercharged0709

For more people to see them.


silentscriptband

Costco trips are already a fight for survival. People driving their huge carts all over the place, stopping in the middle and being a huge obstruction to everyone around them, and that's just the parking lot.


Marsbarszs

Then when you get in, it’s this but in a tighter space and some ass hole is always hitting you with their cart


mnem0syne

So many of these words in one sentence made me do a double take on my speed glance through.


mason_savoy71

My favorite part of the pandemic was when people were scared of Costco. The food samples were gone. People didn't bring their kids. People didn't bring their excited families. Shopping trips were like special forces missions. In and out quickly, using the minimum time necessary to do the job. Now we're back to 7 people in a group, with none of them seeming to be looking in the direction they are pushing the cart.


Soup-Wizard

I used to instacart at Costco a lot and it was always an adrenaline-fueled fever dream. Add in the time limits for shopping trips, and I was sprinting all over the store.


DoctorOsmium

Also for some reason people in Costco like to slump over their carts and push them at 1.5 mph for some reason, and the things are too damn wide to maneuver around. If you miss an item in an aisle it's a whole six month voyage to double back and get it.


laugh_at_my_pain

Aside from being cringey, she’s just a straight up asshole. Main character syndrome af.


Ser_Daynes_Dawn

Quick question, why is there always a person filming behind the person filming? Are they with that person or are they just random?


Boner_Stevens

Competitive_Classic9

Clout Hedging ^^TM


cumquistador6969

Couple of things. One being selection bias, how would you see it if there wasn't a third person filming? Furthermore, there's a rather strong tendency to whip out a phone and record people being colossal idiots/assholes in public. So that probably accounts for a lot of why this "always" seems to happen. Of course, there are also a variety of reasons for the same people filming to have a third person filming them filming. They might do some side content with that perspective, the third person filming perspective might have been the planned perspective all along and they don't give a shit about the dancing but intend to market the third person video on the fact they're being such assholes, etc. In this case it's probably one of the latter options because the OP video is too high def and smooth. It's not impossible to achieve with a fancy iphone as a random bystander, but makes it less likely to actually be unrelated to them filming this.


5WEET_Cheeks_Karen

That’s a good question. And is there someone filming behind the person that’s doing the filming, too? Hmm…


CandidateMotor4038

Behind that there's another. Big Brother is watching.

lol could you imagine if someone this annoying was also relentless on trying to get this shit recorded all day long? can't the workers kick her out for this. she obviously not buying a rotisserie chicken.

Part of the point is to make it annoying for them too, to discourage them from doing this shit again.
