The LARPing Epidemic…

0:00 The LARPing epidemic. LARPing, also referred to as live-action role-play, LARPing has been a new slang that has been making waves on social media. And it basically means being a poser or pretending to be something you aren't. But before Tik Tok ran with this term, the OG season 1 term of LARPing was meant for people who would participate in medieval role-play and pay upwards of thousands of dollars for equipment and gear to LARP for the love of the game. Well, I mean, at least they're doing something they actually enjoyed. Which is better than the people in the first topic we'll be talking about, which is alpha male gurus. Now, ever since Andrew Tate Hustlers University, there has been a huge wave of people in their early 20s also trying to recreate its success by LARPing as if they made millions of dollars from creating a business or

0:45 trading stocks. You know, they got their Lambos, Audemars Piguets on their wrists, penthouses. And what they're trying to do is they're trying to sell you a dream because all their cars are all rented while they take pictures of the steering wheel to LARP on social media. The penthouse they live in is actually an Airbnb. And they got that panda by AP on their wrist while they're trying to sell you their course on how to get rich like they did for $300. We've all seen those videos of fake alpha male gurus talking about how wealthy they got and how you're failing in life. >> If you're not 60 years old with your own $4 million yacht, with your own mirror here, mirror there, you don't drive a Lamborghini, bro, you are failing. You have to lock in. >> And their whole game of LARPing as a successful person is to make money and turn people who falls for this stuff

1:32 into the method so you'll buy their overpriced course. It's the modern-day snake oil scam. And people on Tik Tok have been making how-to LARP methods basically teaching people how to LARP and providing LARP videos so people can post on their own social media to LARP being rich. Which, damn, I might have to up my LARPing game. There's no watermark on this video? I guess it's mine now. People have also been posting a lot of funny skits making fun of the people who genuinely do this. >> You like my car? >> This is your car? >> Yeah, man. You want to sit in it? >> Oh, please. It's only a dream car of mine. >> Absolutely. >> Oh my [music] god. >> Go ahead. Hop in. Hop in. So, you want to make your first million dollars a month but don't know where to start? Well, trust [music] me, I know how to help you. >> And it's pretty sad that people's entire existence revolves around flexing on

Thank you to Freecash for sponsoring today's video and back to the video. And next, we got to talk about fake fans. Now, fake fans are always doing the most to feel included when people are discussing something. And a great example of this can be the fake Knicks fans. So, the Knicks made it to the NBA finals this year and actually

3:50 ended up winning their first ring in 53 years. And with the hype leading up to the finals, you had so many people larping as true Knicks fans. And there's this Instagram account called Off The Glass TV, and they would interview these people and catch them lacking. People would lie out of their asses if it meant not admitting they didn't know anything about a topic. What's even wrong with admitting that you don't know

4:36 the players' names? And then you got Kai Cenat larping with his Kai's Mind channel, where he basically just pretends to read in front of a camera. And of course, we all know about the clip where Kai is interviewed about his outfit, and this dude says Viva La Vedia by Coldplay. >> [music] >> Coldplay has like 94 million monthly listeners, and he has the audacity to ask, "Do you know who that is?" I think half the entire world knows who Coldplay is. And Kai is known to larp being an anime fan. He loves lying to his guests about his ball knowledge on anime.

5:41 >> [screaming] >> This guy is saying he's seen 100 One Piece episodes, but still can't pronounce the main character Luffy's name correctly. Like Fries, bro, you've been caught. But at least it's not as bad as Nick A30 larping Solo Leveling. >> When we have Sung Jinwoo, like I said, he's my favorite when he does all of his crazy anime stuff in the show and the movies, like it just it really makes my day. >> When he does all that crazy anime stuff in the show, it really makes my day. Yeah, just pack it up, bro. But then you have Logan Paul larping One Piece as well and Pokémon. This dude, Logan Paul, is buying a bunch of expensive Pokémon cards and One Piece collector items and inflating their price on the market while he's just larping being a real fan. Even Speed called out Logan for being a fake fan and ratioed him to oblivion. And it's so funny seeing Logan

6:28 trying to larp Pokémon. >> And if you never beat the Elite Four with your Charizard, your Gengar, your Dragonite, your Alakazam, your Machamp, your Onix, hopefully Steelix if you can get a Metal Coat, you're not going to know what that feels like, [music] right? Metal Coat with a trade, by the way. It's not easy. And you get the Metal Coats are hard to come by. Um cuz you can also give it to a Scyther and get a Scizor. Scizor, whatever you want to call it. >> Like nah, you just got to pack it up. You're doing the most. And people called Logan on his BS cuz you can't even get a Steelix till after the Elite Four in the game he's talking about. Yo, quick interruption, but I have a Spotify with all my videos on it. I'd appreciate it if you would go check it out. You can watch my videos on the fly, link in the description. Next, we got to talk about clip farming. Now, clip farming has been one of the easiest and quickest ways to go viral since forever ago. Take it from Logan Paul faking that he was color

7:13 blind for a YouTube video which has 30 million views. But in this day and age of streaming, you have to clip farm to be able to get viewers to come to your stream and build up your audience, which leads to a lot of streamers obviously forcing their reactions to try to get a clip go viral on Twitter, TikTok, or Reels. >> [music] >> I can't stand cats, bro. What do they do? That's what they do! [screaming] >> Well, you can obviously tell this is fake. There's levels to this clip farming from harmless to extreme and you have harmless clip farmers from Z S and Be Lou acting dumb with their hood science clips and I can't even lie, these were pretty funny.

7:59 >> What is faster, sound or light? >> Sound. >> You think so? >> That's what yours is, dude. >> The sound is moving. >> Let's see. >> I think sound, bro. >> And then you had Old Speed with his classic clip farming just acting wild all the time. But he did go way too far a few times like when he lit that Pikachu firework at his mom's house. >> So, I don't think it's going to be that loud. No no no no no no. No. >> What the [ __ ] is you doing? >> But people take things way out of hand and there's this Kick streamer called Dean the Great who would basically start altercations with people on stream and get slapped. >> You know, I'll put you I'll make you another clip.

8:45 I'll do that. >> Seriously? >> I'll do that. >> Like damn, he socked him in the face hard. I really don't think it's worth putting your own life on the line just for a clip to go viral. But any publicity is good publicity for these people because now Dean the Great streams with his former boxer Adrien Broner and they basically stream frat house content together and Adrien Broner has a huge drinking problem. This guy can't go a single hour without having a drink and it shows from the look of his belly. They basically just clip farm the fact that he has a drinking problem and they always go mega viral on Twitter. >> Bro, chill. Gang, there's no reason to even Hey, we're about to sleep. We got to be up at We got to be up early. >> It's kind of sad because you can tell he genuinely needs help. He's also known to essay women they bring on stream which

9:32 is absolutely terrible. >> Why is it Why I can't hear music right now? >> Yo, I'm a girl. You got that has never happened to me. Like, that's the first time like somebody actually like grabbed my ass or tried to [ __ ] on me. Like, I've never like like ever like ever like that's crazy. Like, that's honestly so crazy. And I really hope he apologizes cuz I know he's drunk, but being drunk doesn't excuse your behavior. But, that's just like all around weird. Like, I want to I literally wanted to cry now. I'm not going to lie. >> I don't even understand how they're even able to continue having a platform. Just completely degenerate [ __ ] And then you got your performative males. Now, the performative males basically dress and act in a specific way to get with the girls. You may see them located at your local cafe drinking their matcha while rocking their non-prescription glasses

10:17 listening to Claire through their wired earbuds. And they might even have some feminist literature on hand that they're reading. Just basically doing anything to appeal to women. And recently, there's this huge content creator Sykkuno who built his entire brand of being this shy emo boy on the internet. Like, he would literally talk like an anime character. >> Wait, you're actually so much braver than I thought. >> Oh, I'm like cuz you're here. [music] >> Oh, I'm like cuz you're here. >> What's your favorite song? >> Uh uh song Wow, this is >> Or any song you like. >> Uh the Animal Crossing >> 30-year-old man >> [music] >> But, recently he got exposed for actually cheating on his girlfriend of 5 years with a bunch of VTuber e-girls, which is where this infamous pickup line

11:03 came from. >> My XP bar is low. >> Like, are we serious, bro? And this shot was green as [ __ ] cuz she was actually messing with that shy e-boy rizz. Because even when he got exposed for cheating, she still wanted him. >> That's that's it. Like >> What's it? >> Probably never talking again. >> You and me? >> Yes. >> What? Why? Huh? >> Is that not why? >> What is why? I'm still upset with you, but you didn't cheat on me. >> Huh? >> You can still talk to me. >> There's just no way that performative anime boy [ __ ] actually works. He might have just put people on game with that one. And then you have this streamer Hasan [ __ ] who is one of the biggest larpers to ever exist. Hasan is known as this political streamer who larps

11:49 socialism. And to heavily dumb down what socialism means, it basically means making society more equitable and reducing wealth inequality in society. But the irony is that Hasan isn't shy to flaunt his wealth and will spend thousands of dollars on designer clothes. And even went to a poorer country, which was Cuba, which faces daily power outages and food shortages. And while Hasan was there, he was rocking all designer clothes cuz, you know, of course you have to flex on the poor locals. The government of Cuba even gave him a five-star hotel to stay in. And he has the audacity to say that Cuban locals are actually chilling without electricity. >> I mean, there's like rolling blackouts that take place throughout the day, every day, all around the country, right? 11 million people. But today is a

12:34 beautiful day out here. 75 degrees, sunny. [music] People are partying. People are partying in the [ __ ] streets. They're just chilling. >> They're just chilling. >> Like your dad was the vice president of one of Turkey's biggest financial companies. You've been rich. Stop larping socialism. And next we got to talk about fake pranks. Now, this is a classic OG larp we've all seen a fake prank video before on YouTube back in the day with the OG larpers like FouseyTube, Roman Atwood, and PrankInvasion. They basically pioneered that genre of content. Like we were all watching the fake yoga pants prank, the pranks in the hood, and these kissing pranks. But nowadays, you have a majority of the fake pranks on YouTube of the most outrageous things. Like how do you even think of this idea? Like anything for the money, I guess. And

13:21 with the exposure of short-form content, pranks would naturally start popping up on TikTok and Reels. And they're just so obviously staged. Like they aren't even trying to hide anymore. There's this one guy on Tik Tok that goes by the handle Mr. Jackson Vids that somehow gets these people in the most crazy positions while getting them to say some insane things. >> Shove a Wendy's burger up my ass. >> [laughter] >> These videos are 100% fake. There's no way he isn't slipping the people a crisp $20 bill to help him script these videos. And of course you got the fake couple pranks which bring in millions of views to this day. Whoever was getting pranked, they were for sure going to crash out with their Dhar Mann level acting.

14:13 >> [music] >> Like how do you not see the camera here? And oh yeah, they somehow got every single perfect angle and shot of themselves. We all know you're moving the phone after each and every scene. All right, well I hope you enjoyed this video and follow my socials.
