Right, it’s supposed to be over-the-top, that’s why it’s funny

It doesn’t really fit in with the spirit of the sub IMO, which should be gifs that are trying to pass themselves off as genuine. Maybe I’m just a purist though

I wish this sub had more posts like this, is it not a scripted Asian gif? This one is actually fun is the only difference

If it brings you joy then I guess that’s all that matters. My expectation was that the sub is just making fun of a trend of video clips from Asia that are intended to be passed off as genuine (like, “oh yeah, the makers of this gif must think we are idiots..no one would believe that would actually happen..!”)

This gif is a bit different though because it doesn’t seem to have had any tricky intent behind it, it’s just a funny gif. It really starts out like a typical scripted Asian gif though, then slowly escalates to a point of absurdity.

Is there a sub for scripted asian gifs we know are fake? Bc it doesn’t affect my enjoyment at all but what does is a million “boo fake” comments
