The crappiness is unexplainably funny. Jerry speaking the cues in the comedy bits and saying "pause for applause", Elaine clipping through Jerry, George talking to the fridge. I lost it when it cut to an indoor shot with nobody in it for 2 minutes and then cut away.
- throwbadubadu 4y agoWow, I thought also the super spammy lol chat is AI generated as well, but it seems people find this really funny? I mean most of the ""jokes"" do not even have a bad punch line. That's the only thing I can lol at now, why wtf?
- wildrhythms 4y agoThe chat collectively playing in to the nonsense is all part of the experience.
- williamcotton 4y agoMST3K, Rocky Horror, The Room, etc.
- lordgroff 4y agoIt IS the experience. Without the chat I would have checked out of the nonsense in a minute but the audience reacting to the endless non sequiturs truly made this an art.

- kelseyfrog 4y agoYep, it's the TV equivalent of Blaseball, or Dwarf Fortress(DF). Given a sufficiently complex generator of event strips, framing[1] becomes a social activity. Blaseball saw the production of wikis[2], songs[3], and announcer recap[4] framings. Likewise, DF wouldn't be the same without Boatmurdered[5] or any of the other story tellings that followed suit. Conspiracy theorists follow the same pattern but applied to news and current events - a participatory group activity that discards the majority frame and synthesizes new frames under a different genre. Participants reuse people[6] and locations[7] but rewrite the script to become both playwrights and audience members to a substantially transformed alternate experience of reality. Watchmeforever, is exactly this group mythmaking experience that pairs a random event strip with improvisational community framing that takes the meaningless output of AI-generated content and transforms it into a meaningful group experience. EDIT: Also The Sims franchise to a large extent. Longtime players have a certain tendency to embellish in-game events beyond the game's pre-packaged framing in a way that produces deeper meaning than the novice/out-of-the-box-frame engages in. Certainly CK1/2/3 and countless others as well. 1.

- naet 4y agoBlaseball is so great. Baseball already serializes well to text based (like listening to a play by play on the radio) and then they started mixing things in like 4th base, unruns, crow attacks, etc that I loved. I almost want to make my own blaseball style sim (maybe based on WWE wrestling?) but don't really have the time.
- joenot443 4y agoI think it’s funny in the same way it’d be funny to watch your kids try to act out their own scene from Seinfeld. It’s not the punchlines that we enjoy, it’s the uncanny proximity to the real thing. Sometimes humor comes from expecting something you’re used to and being served something just ridiculous instead.
- pell 4y agoThe seemingly random laugh track really adds to the whole experience.
- bhtru 4y agoThe crappiness coupled with the chat makes for a surprisingly hilarious watch.
- RankingMember 4y agoThe microwave so loud it's practically been elevated to a cast member cracks me up
- unixhero 4y agoThe microwave is massively funny
- icepat 4y agoI definitely enjoy them talking to empty rooms, and posed at awkward angles.
