grump grump grumble [rant=On]

About %50 of the people who like my new video have all expressed the same basic view - that it is very funny.

But...... it's a drama. No scene in it at all was designed to be funny. I can't find a funny moment in it. :?

Guess I'll just have to stick to humor. I always was the class clown. :jester:

Oh no, wait - no I wasn't. I was the serious, nerdy one. :book:

*sigh* I must have woke up one morning in the wrong universe or something.

When you post a video on the internet, there will always be an interpretation of it. I know I've personally had videos get COMPLETELY different receptions than I originally intended of them, but that's what the audience does. It's their "right" in a sort of way to take a video however they please.

Its kind of like in English class, where you're analyzing stories and everybody gets a different message from it. The authors may have not intended that message, but if that's what the people saw, it's what the people saw.

Yeah. It's not like I get mad at people - I'm nice about it, thank them and all that. Maybe mention "but it's not supposed....".

Ah well.

This should've been a post in "The Vent" unless you want to start up a discussion about how people can perceive videos as one way when they were created to portray the opposite.

Didn't know there was a 'vent' section, if someone wants to move this thread, please do so.

I'll have to check the video out, but 'painfully over dramatic' is often seen as humorous. That could be what's going on here.

Simple story about a guy who is obsessed with a bar dancer, kills someone who she's having a drink with, runs away then gets killed trying to come back to see her again.

Being a stalker myself, this is just basic, run of the mill obsession, hardly overly dramatic.

Well, the content of the song and the show pairing makes it mildly humorous.

OK, guess it's just one of those things, humor being so subjective. And I'm biased since I designed it as dramatic. And knew the song since I was a kid (47 years ancient now). Thanks. :)

That's the bumble bee tuna one, right? Love it, and my daughter thinks it's hilarious.

Yup... the one you are having issue with is the Space Cowboy one?

it was cute, but unless you suspend your belief/knowledge of the show I can see why people would find it funny. Hard part is that Bebop is very well known.

Yep, that's it.

Not meant to be cute at all. I guess I just looked at it as raw footage. I've seen Bebop several times and re-watched it again for this. I just see the characters in the story of the song.

Ahh well, as long as people LIKE it, I don't really care why I suppose. Guess I'll just stick to comedy.
