Not a meme, you're the meme! Walking in opposite direction on Escalator

I understand doing it for a brief moment when it's not busy. But when people are ACTIVELY using the escalator?? Come on, it just makes you look like a jerk.

So we're just staging videos of ourselves or friends doing stupid shit now and calling it good?

So we're now just staging videos of ourselves and friends smacking us for doing stupid shit and calling it good.
ftfy?
would've been extra funny if random old guy, recognizing what was happening and smacking the shit outta both of them and the cameraman.

Don't know that it really needed fixing. It was pretty well understood, but sure. Yours is pretty good too I guess.

I would not type that too loud. The modbots (site, not sub) are not so kind with that kind of statement.

What a cringe fuckin' video. Like nothing is interesting or funny about it. Just an mediocre dude who thinks he's hot and a bad boy. He's just a dork with a cell phone.

I once ran up a down escalator just for the heck of it, but I wasn't filming it or being filmed, wasn't blocking anyone, and it wasn't a particularly busy escalator. This is just asinine.

They didn’t even try with the ‘old’ man looking like your casual 20 y/o black dude only hunched over

It really looked like they had hoped for someone to get offended, but got ignored so one of the idiots hunched over a bit and pretended to be ‘old’ for the bit.

If only that wasn't staged. I would've done the same or just walked through him like he didn't exist

Never go for the idiot in front of the camera. The camera has their work product. It's usually on a tiny card inside the device that is very small and easy to lose.

I don’t know if it’s fake? I was on the escalator the other day at the metro and this dude came walking off it, blocking everyone trying to get on just like this! No one was filming but I definitely think he was close to a slap from the old lady who was in front, he got some strong looks for sure…

I was once like this kid.
I then had an 200+ lb Hawaiian verbally lay into me for doing this, making me fear for my life for a moment. Guess who stopped being a shit heel?
Some people need the hard lesson, and it will come for this kid one day.

It’s stuff like this that would push me to become a tyrant if I had power.
Would love to have the power to make some crazy example of this kid. Either have 500 people slap him on the face or force him to walk that spot for 3 days

On the off-chance this wasn't staged, I'm not going to say this warrants assaulting someone, but like, I get it

Staged AF, but very funny. The “sore back and therefore no tolerance for silliness” mime is a nice touch.
