He's not reacting positively, why's he not reacting positively?

You missed the part where the other guy touches the screen to see how much longer it is

"sorry i remembered it being much funnier than it is" hit me deep in the soul

Watching an Adam Sandler on someone's shaky phone while standing sounds like one of the most viscerally uncomfortable experiences possible.

Everyone eventually learns that no one else is interested in what you watch.

The worst part is when the punchline that made you laugh your ass off happens...and they don't laugh

you forgot when they hold it in that awkward way that makes you unsure if they’re handing it to you or just showing you so then you reach out and they don’t hand it over so then you’re both just holding it

I love that he starts by saying he just saw it the other day and then halfway through 'I saw it like 10 years ago'

You forgot when it's buffering and making it an awkward 10 seconds moment.

Sorry i remember it being a little funnier really hit home.

You forgot when the phone screen goes black for a second and you both stare at each others reflections then immediately avert your eyes.

I show this video to my friends. On my phone

It would have been more accurate if there was a whatsapp message popping up every 10 seconds revealing a very private conversation.

How is it possible that I identify with both characters in this?

Ironically, I showed this to my friend and he acted the same way

"This part is funny" "I forgot about this scene" "I remember it being" I feel like we're all guilty of this lmao Also the "watch watch watch" or "just keep watching" when they clearly are

God the fucking STARING AT HIM for his reaction gets me.

It does't matter if it was a 20 second youtube clip, if you showed someone a video, that's the longest thing you did that day.

I did this to my boyfriend years ago when we first met. I assumed a lukewarm reaction but he laughed so hard he started crying and I was concerned he was going to choke and pass out. Then he asked if I had more. That is when I knew he was the one

The way he looks at him, wanting him to like the video, to show a smile or a giggle perhaps, to avoid cringe and to be accepted for the kind of humor he is displaying and in hope that the friend will feel the same way about it, to vibe, to be good enough, to develop a closer bond, to make the friendship last, to one day perhaps die together after a long lasting brotherhood but most of the time the friend will not like it the way you do; or the way you thought you did. You begin to question yourself, your whole existence. 'Why do I exist? Am I even real?' etc

I showed my friend this using the exact lines he uses in the beginning

This guy has some hand steadiness. His muscles never cramp

I just showed this to my brother and held my phone in the same way. Then he pressed the screen to see how much was left and I said “just keep watching” too.

“How long is this movie, like 2 hours?“ “Like an hour and 50 minutes” So true lmfao

I once forced a friend to watch Lil Dickys Pillow Talking music video and he did not enjoy at all. That was a 10 minute and 55 second music video. I would like to apologize to him I am so sorry

the worst thing is that when you showed them that scene that made u laugh, you'll realize that it wasn't that funny at all

Just the fact he’s showing him “you don’t mess with the zohan” of all movies makes me crack up

You just know that if he wanted to show him a video in return, he'd just be like, "Cool, I'll watch it tomorrow."

Whispering "That's Adam Sandler" is hilarious. I saw 12 Years a Slave in the theater with my dad and when Brad Pitt's character showed up, who doesn't wear any kind of makeup or costume that hides the fact that it's one of the most famous people on the planet, my dad leaned in and whispered, "That's Brad Pitt." He wasn't joking.

I have to try this now. I wonder how long I can get someone to just watch a movie

It's almost a psychological phenomenon when people truly believe everyone else must be interested in what they find entertaining

When they accidentally tap the screen, so the hud with the pause button comes up and they try to tap it so it goes away, but they time it wrong to when the hud is just fading away so it comes back up again. Then repeat this process indefinitely.

Oh man, gotta show this to somebody on my phone

Always like to get in a quick screening of zohan before lunch. Trust me, if it’s a priority, you’ll find the time

The way he just gives up in the end and says, "Ok..."

He's just staring at him like "why aren't you liking this more"

Checklist: - plays it on a phone - loud speaker instead of earphones - in a public and crowded area - arms look twisted and broken while holding the phone - constant sideway glancing to make sure you are still watching - people walking looks at you uncomfortably - faking laughter to avoid awkwardness - does not let you talk - occasional hand slaps to remind you of a particular scene - holding your urge to yawn - looks at the time more often than watching the video - plans for an opportunity to execute a tactical retreat

This is the perfect UKposts comedy video to show to a friend.

My kids running in to show me UKposts clips of people/memes I've never heard of

I once had a friend in college who would do this exact thing but with entire family guy episodes. It was genuinely one of the most painful experiences I have ever had.

He's a good friend. He watches til the credits end.

Similar to when you show someone music you like... You decide while listening to it that you actually hate it

The arm strength to hold that phone for that long is next level

Me: Isn't this a 2 hours long movie? Friend: I missed the part where that's my problem

The guy watching looks somewhere between pain and anger. Anger at himself for not being strong enough to leave

Fake. An iPhone 6 battery wouldn’t last that long. Unsubscribed.

"i remember it being funnier" is the exact reason why i rewatch the funny thing before i show it to them after my initial reaction to it so i'll be able to decide if the person i'm planning on showing the video to will actually find it funny, and if i decide they won't i just won't share it. and yes, i'll probably do the same thing with this video before i show it to my sister tomorrow🥴

poor dude is stuck in an endless time loop of watching that movie

when you show this video to someone: "Sorry I remember this being a little funnier than it is"

I wanna show this video to my husband but I’m terrified he’s gonna react like this and I’ll have to pull out the awful, “I remember this being a lot funnier” line.

No one is talking about the MASTERFUL camera angles in this vid!

The “just keep watching” 😭

"Hey have you guys seen the Eric Andre Show?" _Confidently watch, thinking they'll laugh_ ... _they don't_

I'd imagine that this is what hell is like.

They should've actually watched the entire movie real time in this video for added effect.

i am going to try this to see how long it takes someone to stop me.

Don’t forget all the random notifications that block the screen

WE ALL do the “shhh, watch”. He just forgot to add the “are you watching this? I don’t feel like you’re really watching this.”

Lol it's so awkward cuz you're not interested but you don't wanna hurt their feelings so you just have to watch 😭

at least this guy actually stayed and watched it. the worst is when you try to show someone something and they get up and do other things while it's playing, saying "i'm still listening" but they miss the visual jokes

“Saw this the other day” -later “I saw it like 10 years ago” He’s a time traveler!

The expectant glances to assess the showee's level of enjoyment are what make this

Lol the moment the full feature film started i couldnt stop giggling

Showing this to someone on your phone is meta af

When he said u wanna watch it again it got real

Time to explain what's going on while barely not spoiling the plot.

This reminds me of my friend's random housemate who suddenly talked about Michael Jackson and then pulled out her laptop and made us watch a whole folder full of MJ concert videos. When one video ended, she opened another video, and this continued till like an hour 😂 it was so awkward..

forgot the 20 second unskippable ad before the video so they have to sit there awkwardly even longer

I showed this video to a friend on my phone

The shushing activated specifically my fight response

I got to say that the guy holding the phone for almost 2 hours has some serious endurance

can't forget the two thirty seconds unskippable ads before the video

The way he keeps looking at him to make sure he is attentively watching not even like a foot away from his face? Yeah that's gold.

"can you lift the sreen up a little i see your reflection" "wait wait you hold it it's easier"

I want to show this to people but I'm terrified of the irony

There is so much subtlety in these videos - when Joel rewinds the video to the beginning it is only 7 seconds long - brilliant.

one time my friend started showing me this weird 25 minute long anime cosplay video and I didn’t want to hurt their feelings so I watched it with them. Well, they ended up falling asleep on me, and I didn’t even notice because I was too busy trying to look interested in the video.

Bro I low key always be looking at the person to see if they like it😞😞.

Most polite friend ever

"Sorry I remember it being funnier" made me self conscious.

My brother always does this to me but with whole 10 minute basketball game highlights, and I don't even like basketball. It's very hard to say no because he's so hyped and stuff.

Also, don't forget about how their hands are moving so much while holding the phone, you cant even see the screen. 😂

The moment you feel the guy looking at you to make sure you're laughing

this is why i send funny videos to people and they just respond with "lol" faster than the actual video length

"I remember this being funnier, I saw this like 10 years ago" everyone's thoughts on zohan 😂

you forgot the part when the friend takes out their phone and watches their phone instead and they miss the part you were trying to show them

You'd be surprised the amount of times this exact thing happens to me, except I'm both people

This is the first Joel Haver vid I ever saw & ironically someone came up to me with their phone and said, "You gotta watch this video!"

The funniest thing was Joel believing an Iphones battery would last that long

Realizing the video isn't as funny as you remember. Embarrassment heat: activated.

That moment when you show someone this video and it makes you wonder if the interaction is happening exactly like this

I swear this guy is a genius.

I legit will not show people videos at all for this exact reason. And I refuse to let others show me videos. For example- if I were to stumble on this video myself- that's a great video man, here's a like. If my friend tries showing me this video on his phone- this is the longest robbery of my time ever.

I'm having so much cringe watching this gosh.

My favorite was how quickly he identified that it was Zohar before the title card even played.

In all seriousness, don’t let people like these take control of you, stand up for yourself and say no.

This is litterally me, when i have to sit there and watch something on someone elses phone my soul litterally tries to leave my body 😂

me: he didn't laugh? he must not have been paying attention.. better rewind it. Still nothing? Better explain why its funny. Still nothing?? Must not have seen this other video that this joke is in reference to, better show him that quickly then come back and show him this one again, then he should get it friend: no.. i got it the first time, i just don't think its funny me: repeat process

Whenever people do this to me, I immediately queue this video up and show them. They hate it which is hilarous to me.

I showed this entire video to my friend. *He had a luke warm face while watching.*
