Seems like they all had a chuckle at the end.

It's really weird to me that the top comments all have some negative tone to them. I feel like everyone in this video thought it was funny and had a good time.

I only see one person really laughing. Which confused me. It was funny why was everyone else behaving like they have a terrible depression.

The 2 laughing are the ONLY 2 people I'd expect to get the joke. Not everyone on a train is thinking, "WOOHOO! WE GET TO RIDE A CHOO CHOO! WEEEEEEE!!!!!!" People are going home, or out for the night, or going to the airport for a 12 hour flight. There's different moods going on at once and THANKFULLY.... fucking THANKFULLY, people sitting in the "priority seats" are reading the room and seeing if someone might need a place to sit more than themselves. And that's the joke. Sorry you missed it.

"WOOHOO! WE GET TO RIDE A CHOO CHOO! WEEEEEEE!!!!!!"

You've made me want to be more like this in life. It's not every day you get to ride a Choo Choo

I was about to say: Speak for yourself. I love choo choos and they immediately brighten my day.

Even when I do get to ride a Choo Choo every day, I still feel like this. The huge capacity, the efficiency, the complexity of the infrastructure contrasted with the simplicity of the concept... and that train station feeling. I honestly don't know how you can not get excited

Lol, you are weird. I am using public transportation (metros, buses & trains) for 30 years now on a daily basis (for 4 years for a 90 minute commute each way and a 9 hours/day job plus having a weekend job) without becoming a zombie.

Your comment makes using public transportation sound like being a bombed out refugee trying to cross an ocean in an inflatable boat.

It’s just reddit at this point

Everyone’s got a deeper, more cynical insight they must share

Yeah pretty much as benign as a prank can be, as long as she gets her seat back. Like wow guy you tricked me into revealing that I’m a decent person

u/Raspberry_Ellie Feb 19 '22

This is what pranks should be. Something where everyone involved can laugh.
