A whisper from the bushed m''lady?

When he starts giggling I lost it.

[u/1v1RightMeow → u/Specific_Put_3586]

I think the word “satire” is no longer in service these days

[u/_ShrugDealer_ → u/Specific_Put_3586]

I paused before the joke and was annoyed at the video. Then I let it play and got annoyed at OP.

This is very funny

This mother fucking karmafarming bot even stole my title

According to a survey women would rather be alone in the forest with a bear than with an unknown man. So just dress in a bear costume, wear a bear skin. Women won't be concerned with you at all...

[u/Critical_Subwoofer]

No point arguing the legitimacy of ‘is this really cringe or not’ OP is a fucking bot and shit like this is supposed to drive engagement. Fuck Reddit

[u/SteveZissouniverse]

This is a comedy sketch idk if it really qualifies as cringe. Also this is like the 100th time it’s been posted here

PO-TA-TOES!!
Mash them, boil them, put them in a stew

Crap. Missed it by 10 minutes

[u/JuniorDoughnut3056]

The videos he's mocking are cringe. This is not

Pretty bad at recognizing parody too

Why is this here? This is pretty funny.

I'd be curious to know more about the charming forest sprite

[u/serenitydiscoballer]

He got me at first, but then…

[u/BetWooden5917]

i laugh so the woman knows i am friendly - that one killed me XD

[u/TeeReks87]

I definitely feel more comfortable

[u/Weary_Position_9591]

Can we still say hi with a small smile?

[u/runkeby → u/Weary_Position_9591]

I just smile and do a very slight nod, without breaking stride.

Woman or man, either I want to talk to them and I'll start with "hi", either I don't and I won't ask them to divert their attention to me for no reason.

The smile and nod communicates I'm friendly and not avoiding interaction, but also I'm not seeking it either.

OP hates satire XD

[u/ralphmozzi]

Bots gonna bot. They gots to farm the precious somehow

[u/Lookout_B42L8]

The best way is to turn around and run away.

[u/Mugpup]

Yes, that is much more comfortable to witness.

[u/oli39]

This is how you get poison ivy

[u/LilJonny2cookies]

Good job- I was at first very angry. Then I was very happy.

[u/notwhoyouthinkmaybe]

I just follow them to ensure they are safe from all the creeps. If she walks faster, so do I. If she runs, so do I, yelling "I'm friendly, I just want to talk!"

It puts them at ease. They get back to their car and just leave, safely. I smile and wave to them in their rearview mirror.

You're welcome ladies.

Lol 😆 🤣

[u/simplywebby]

Doesn’t belong here

[u/jcklsldr665]

I just stop glaring like I'm going to murder the next person who talks to me, look up, smile, then back down and continue to glare when I pass...but that's because I'm usually using the trail for exercise instead of a nature stroll lol

[u/Nexcell]

You guys need to lighten up and have a little whimsy in your life.

[u/Electronic_Owl_9819]

I mean, is this cringe, or just funny?

[u/seribiigaming]

[u/ShitWombatSays]

This again?

[u/kpatsart → u/ShitWombatSays]

Ragebait is the new karama farming machine losers need to fill their quotas for the day. Gives them a sense of worth i guess. 🤷‍♂️

[u/LilJonny2cookies → u/kpatsart]

What could be enraging about this? It is pretty funny. Someone would need to be very troubled to be enraged over this parody.

[u/kpatsart → u/LilJonny2cookies]

Lol ok lil homie. Reading between the lines isn't your strong suit I guess. However dude is clearly doing an engagement farming bit himself about women's general safety on isolated public spaces. Aka ragebait engagement, womp womp.

[u/PickleMaster2000 → u/kpatsart]

what are you talking about man it is literally just a skit. It's funny cause it subverts expectations, making an intentional joke is not 'engagement farming'.

[u/pooooolooop → u/kpatsart]

Lil homie… smh, it’s a parody video, embarrassing from you

[u/Talkietoasta]

Not cringe.

[u/CommanderKoba]

Yes please do this, I wanna be afraid for my life thinking there's a skin walker in the woods.

[u/Karpeas]

How is this cringe?

[u/Beautiful_You3230]

This one is funny. I also like the one with the gay dude who goes out of his way to show he's gay and nonthreatening. All of them are obviously more satire than anything.

[u/CaptainConspiracyy]

He joking right?….right??!😳

[u/Wizzle_Pizzle_420 → u/CaptainConspiracyy]

Obviously not, I thought everybody knew this.

[u/CaptainConspiracyy → u/Wizzle_Pizzle_420]

Well it’s so fucking ridiculous and tarded that it has to be a pisstake….🤷

[u/In_neptu_wetrust → u/CaptainConspiracyy]

Nope, I call it goblin mode, it’s very human

[u/luigis_left_tit_25]

Idiot.

[u/Responsible-Lie-995]

How about just not giving a fuck? Like walk past, don't talk, don't look. I recognise it's a parody btw, but shit man, I wonder when things have become so unnecessarily complicated?

[u/No_Slip_3729 → u/Responsible-Lie-995]

Don't look?

[u/Responsible-Lie-995 → u/No_Slip_3729]

Well, yes. I don't know about US culture, but we Russians rarely look at random people we walk past every day, yet engage in spontaneous greetings and small talks. I don't really know if it was actually the point of your question, but whatever. And yea, apologies for my terrible grammar, it's been a while since I talked English.

[u/No_Slip_3729 → u/Responsible-Lie-995]

I mean, don't glare or stare at someone, but it's pretty common here to give a quick nod or "hello" as you pass by someone on the trail here, people are pretty friendly... Maybe that's only common for us in the PNW?

[u/Responsible-Lie-995 → u/No_Slip_3729]

I mean, if the trail is something local and people there often meet each other – yes, that's completely fine. Maybe we just don't have such places, and I'm just being ignorant, in that case I take my words back.
