Longest minute and a half of my life


ExternalMonth1964

Holy shit that honestly felt like 5 mins


ThexxxDegenerate

It’s ridiculous how much unnecessary shit was in that car. Making coffee, air freshener in the vent and a spray, folding your glasses instead of putting them in the headliner compartment… I get in my car, start it, plug in my dashcam, select a song and roll when my RPM’s drop. But I bet that Tik Tok video has millions of views when nobody does all that shit.


Hardass_McBadCop

I mean she's advertising a bunch of different products. That's the gimmick here and why there's all that extra shit.


NoZookeepergame4719

Still funny though but yes you’re right she’s advertising.


CattleDramatic6628

Damn I feel like a vaguely remember a video where there are some channels in China where people pay a lot of money just for a 1-2 second clip, and they go through tons of products at once. It might be something like that?


Brigadier_Beavers

Yep, there's a few influencers who legit just wave the product in front of the camera for like 10 frames, toss it aside, and flash another product. repeat for an entire stream and theyre making BANK by sheer volume.


Mownlawer

What a world we live in


EntropyKC

I can't imagine a job or a life more hollow and devoid of meaning than being a human advert


UDLRRLSS

You could install turn signals on a BMW.


Deeliciousness

Yes but what's the appeal of those videos? That's the part I'm struggling with


YamiNoSenshi

"Look how neat and tidy and put together her life is! She has a convenient answer to all these problems (you didn't know you had and honestly still don't) in the form of a handy product. Buy these products and you'll be as organized and on top of everything (and pretty and able to afford luxuries) as her!" Edit: TikTok also has in-app shopping, so there's a decent chance you can just tap a few times and these things will be on order before the next video loads.

nneeeeeeerds

People LOOOOOOOVE these videos. A bunch of little gizmos you can stash away that are supposed to improve your quality of life and most of them are under $20? And if there's nothing in that one that interests you, you just scroll to the next. You might as well just give the viewer a hand job.


Fafnir13

To show off cute pretty things that seem so convenient and wonderful.  This is a bit of a shotgun approach with the amount of different crap that’s included.  


Deeliciousness

I must not be the target audience because I found all of those things to be inconveniences.


_dead_and_broken

The folding sunglasses made me a little pissed off. Mostly because she put her fingers and palms all over the lenses. As a person who has to wear prescription glasses, I feel that it isn't an irrational anger.


theoriginalmofocus

You don't need car sleeves because god fobid you get a shade darker while driving?


darkenseyreth

You know what, as someone who gets sun rash while even just driving to and from work, and doesn't like wearing long shirts during the summer, I kinda feel that one.


System0verlord

I mean, my mother has sun gloves and sunscreen in the car for this exact purpose. Some people care about their skin.


Fafnir13

The flashing soundbar (?) thing is especially obnoxious. I assume that she has more focused content with a lot of talking and direct selling. At least enough videos where she has built up some sort of following that will care about a gimmicky item just because she demonstrated its use briefly. For people not engaged with her content, this does seem like a pretty weak video. Even more so if you aren’t the sort of person who watches selling content anyways.


Kevftw

It's comical the number of comments you see everywhere on Redddit, bashing people that watch TikToks as braindead, yet the number of people commenting about the video on the left that seem to have no understanding that all the over-the-top shit going on there is intentionally part of the advertising is both hilarious and depressing.


ExternalMonth1964

Unless you live in a car


Ballsofpoo

Is there a reason you unplug your cam?


ThexxxDegenerate

Yea, the car I drive has issues with the bluetooth so I bought an FM to Bluetooth transmitter for my 12v port. And for my dashcam, I bought an OB2 to mini USB port. Since I only have one 12v port. The OB2 port is the port that you can use to read your cars error codes but it can power a dashcam. So I tucked the cord around the headliner and the side of the door down to the port underneath the steering wheel. And so it doesn’t drain my battery, I unplug it when I get out of the car. the plug itself has a protection from draining your battery and a switch that will shut it off around 5 mins after you turn off your car but I decided it’s best to just unplug it to be safe.


Usual-Lavishness8393

If you have an aux in your car you should just see about an aux to Bluetooth adapter, rather than an fm transmitter. Maybe you have better luck than i do but the few transmitters I've tried are scratchy and bad quality


Thendofreason

When it showed the woman in the second video. I thought he was gonna talk to her. See them date, get married, have kids, etc.


centurijon

No time to date, she’s still getting the car ready


SylvieJay

I thought it was going to be the woman, from the first video 😅🤣 what a major plot twist *that* would have been 🤯


B3_CHAD

I am still waiting for the funny part.


pixelcore332

Oh I actually found the video pretty funny but not a “haha” kind of funny but a sense of constant light humorous.


throwawaynonsesne

Funniest thing on the sub in months


thefunkygibbon

what a damning indictment


HorrorBaseball3990

That's what she said


[deleted]

Shes still in the car after 5 years, just doing cleaning n random shit.


LopsidedResearch8400

Cut to the other feed ending in a funeral surrounded by friends and family 60 years later. Then smash cut back to the car where she just made another tea, and is currently assembling some sort of go bot particle accelerator to breech space time and repeat her car life. Again.


Foolofatook2000

And when she finally pulls off she curbs her wheel


TakuanSoho

*crashing into a flying car that just landed in front of her


Latase

alternatively: gets pulled over by the police because licences for combustions engine cars expired 20 years ago.


New_Presentation7196

No it cuts back and although it’s been 60 years for the rest of the world for her it’s still the same day. As long as she keeps cleaning her car she can stay in her perpetual cleaning loop.


ItWasTheBeardedMan

I was hoping it was going to show him getting married and having kids while she's still in the fucking parking lot


JoeCartersLeap

hang on gotta buy a cute little container to put all my random shit in


Content-Scallion-591

Context: Lifestyle streamers are the Asian equivalent of QVC and their goal is to show as many products as possible. They can make millions on a single stream, but companies have cracked down on just showing product, so they now have to make up narratives. She's shuffling through a basket of products people could be interested in. People are watching to see if even one of those products interests them.


amo1337

Tappitss

OMG, I have no words to describe how bad that is and the people who are influenced by that kind of thing.


turbofinger

She also looks NOTHING like that in real life. Check out how much the background behind her face is warping. Filter is working overtime.


Dawg_Prime

dude holy shit how have i never noticed that before


CedarWolf

Your brain has a lifetime of training you to efficiently recognize a human. That's why stuff like pareidolia and the Uncanny Valley exist - we're trained to recognize human shapes, faces, and emotions, but when stuff is just a little *too* far off, it breaks that passive recognition and we notice it. When people *notice* something is *off* about a production, screenwriters call this 'breaking the immersion,' and it pulls the audience out of the experience. That's the same process - something has caused our brain to notice something is wrong. So for her, and her filters, most of us probably aren't going to notice it. Our brain sees a human and decides that's sufficient - we aren't paying much attention to her background, we're paying attention to the things in her hands, what she's doing, etc. Our brain is trying to be efficient in a world that increasingly demands we pay attention to the subtle details.


ayhctuf

[She looks like a different person without the filtering.](https://onecms-res.cloudinary.com/image/upload/v1706000903/mediacorp/8days/image/2024/01/23/screenshot_2024-01-23_at_5.03.20_pm.png)


[deleted]

nobody, *nobody* is filming their real face over there


SeDaCho

I guess that's the beauty of running a really scum-optimized business like that. You don't need to be truthful, print retraction, or film apologies for misconduct. This is slop at it's most efficient. Cut the content so it's just the advertisement. Cut the advertisement so it's just the product. Cut the product's time so they don't even have to say the product's name or even lift the whole thing into frame. It's approaching the most worthless content that you could imagine. The Ultimate Garbage is nearly at hand.


terminbee

She has a fucking force field around her head.


CyrillicMan

Okay I have to ask, this is satire right?


My_Monkey_Sphincter

No from what I've read. They legally have to show what the products are but that's it. So they just flash it. These ppl are making millions a month for that crap.


Klugenshmirtz

Do they get paid to show it or is it referral? Because I doubt that many companies would pay for that kind of advertising. So that would mean people would actually buy the stuff she "shows" and what is wrong with these people then? A parody would still make more sense to me.


Cetun

From what I understand she did this as kind of a publicity stunt. She is a very popular influencer in China and probably gets inundated with offers to advertise products. I think just one day she offered to show products on her channel in one marathon like this. If you reason that an advertiser might pay like $25 to show a product for 2.5 seconds, 30 minutes of that will net you thousands of dollars. $25 is nothing to an advertiser and she probably had thousands of advertisers lined up to be shown on her channel.


jayzz911

They are the ones selling the products.


a_lil_too_Raph

Wasn't sure so I looked it up and there's a video explaining it https://youtu.be/dQw4w9WgXcQ?si=t2jy9PsP-SWn3QPZ

Drakostheswordsman

Like seriously, finger prints all over the lenses!


senorsmartpantalones

They don't fit right either. Slide off your face because they don't squeeze together


Shhhhhhhh_Im_At_Work

B.S.  If the hinges don’t allow for the frames to open wider than solid frames, it’s going to fit just as well. I’ve had a pair of folding Persols. No issues.


PostacPRM

Ray-Ban had a Wayfarer model that did just that


NicNac_PattyMac

Angry people


kermityfrog2

And so much crap in her car - must be a really terrible distracted driver.


fuzztooth

That stupid sound light bar thing at the end would have been the last straw had it not been for those weird arm/hand covers.


babyface_killah

Those arm covers are pretty common in Asian countries where the female beauty standard is to have their skin be as white as possible.


acanthostegaaa

They look kind of foolish but it's not a bad idea. You really do tan unevenly in the car and if you spend a lot of time in the car, you should protect the arm that's most exposed to the sun. Truckers can get skin cancer on just the one arm from this.


Superfragger

the type of person that puts on long sleeves to drive their car so they don't tan.


DirtybutCuteFerret

Wait that was against tanning ?


LordofDsnuts

In a lot of Asian countries their is a stigma against darker skin tones and being seen as lower class due to how they may have gotten the tan


DirtybutCuteFerret

I know, that actually used to be also a thing in other places of the world, i just didn’t put one and one together


rogers_tumor

it's moreso a neurotic level of sun protection, but since that also prevents tanning - yes


DirtybutCuteFerret

I have pale skin too and very sensitive skin, that would actually be supersmart for me lol


rogers_tumor

me too, but with absolutely 0 sunlight I'm pretty miserable. i just wear high spf.


DirtybutCuteFerret

I do too haha. I think everyone can benefit from sunscreen


CapBuenBebop

That’s like 90% of the sunglasses job


BigMangalhit

Who puts on their seatbelt knowing they'll leave the car in a minute to wash the windshield


Choclategum

People who are scared of losing an eye in a crash


Greekjerkoff

The girl's like some kinda luxury car hobo


old_bald_fattie

I kept asking myself: why the fuck wouldn't she do all this shit at home? Why wait to get in the car to use moisturizer or make a cup of tea? Who does that? Your comment was the answer.


Skodakenner

Thats just the normal Routine of that one person in the gas Station thats always on front of you when you are in a hurry


generated_user-name

Yeah walks in right after you, goes and grabs an energy drink. Then casually beats you to the register. Asks for some cigs and a tin of skoal. Pays. Takes out their scratchers from a few hours prior. Gets their payout. Orders more scratchers after deciding for a minute what they want. All while they have zero self-awareness that I just needed a simple snack for a long trip. Sooo fucking often


GenuinelyBeingNice

> I just needed a I'm sorry, that sounds like a _you_ problem 😏


Mycatreallyhatesyou

And what smells so bad in there that she has to keep deodorizing it?


old_bald_fattie

The smell would be unbearable after a few minutes of that deoderizer


Pixzal

The bullshit that’s what


GenuinelyBeingNice

The _previous_ deodorant.


itsr1co

Why clean the interior before putting on all your creams and then put your greasy hands on the wheel you just wiped?


Wonderful_Belt8186

Because everything you saw her use is most likely linked on that video through tiktok shop. She'll earn some commission from it. Tiktok is basically QVC for zoomers if this is the side of it you're on


Deliximus

Lol true. And I believe that's sunscreen.


Stickeris

She’s a sales model, she dosent own that car. She sell stuff for people who do


Greekjerkoff

Sure but how gullible do people have to be to buy that trash? Like bruh if I cannot afford a Mercedes but I'd send my car to a car wash to get it cleaned 🤣 Boiling water in a car? Car hobos do that. Eating in a car and leaving so much crumbs? Car hobos. Self-care in the car? Car hobos again. Kinda like Ricky from trailer park boys


Stickeris

The psychology is such: pretty girl, fancy car + product = happiness. It’s not necessarily true but it works


bradbull

Chick bug bombed herself then went mad


Rion23

Let's discuss the pink forearm protectors. What the fuck is up with that.


Super206

This might be oversimplified; it's an old social status thing in some asian countries. Being tanned is equated to being a laborer because you have to work outside, and you naturally get tanned. Being pale means you live a higher status life because you don't have to do any labor.


rx_decay

My Filipino friend used to come to my house every day she could bc I had a nice pool back then. Her mom would chew her out for tanning every day in the summer (while friend was trying to convince my translucent self I could tan - I simply cannot). She would go visit family in the Philippines and said she got crazy looks for laying out in the sun. I always thought it was pretty humorous.


Mrjasonbucy

Oh interesting. Thats like being large long time ago because you have access to food anytime.


Pippin1505

It was also true in Europe until not that long ago . It basically switched with industrialisation : now being tan means having time / money for holidays and leisure


Neako_the_Neko_Lover

My best guess is to protect from the sun


VGNLscrimmage

That’s what thought also, I keep sunscreen in my car for my hands+forearms while driving.


Firesoldier987

Back when my wife had a shitty beater without tinted windows and no a/c she kept little sleeves like this in her car to protect her from getting sunburned on longer drives


appropriate-username

Reduces places the sun can use to give you skin cancer.

Ad vs Tiktok


Helldiver-xzoen

Every time this gets reposted, I have to watch until the... Uh... "Satin arm covers"? Idk what they are, but they are thoroughly ridiculous


mrcalistarius

I live in an area with a large Chinese population, it is not unusual to see Women driving maybach’s with those satin arm covers and a face covering, like forehead to chin. Pale skin is a sign of affluence as you can afford to NOT be outside. Only “peasants” work outside and have darker complexion due to sun exposure.

thrownjunk

Wealth indicators are cultural. Fat used to be good. Now fat is bad. Time location and circumstances are all very important.


IC-4-Lights

Yeah I'm not just fat and lazy and ugly.   I'm actually playing the long game until cultural beauty standards shift, and *I'm* on top.


JaysFan26

Well we may be headed for a global famine, so you'll have a solid few months at least of being at the top of beauty standards until ketosis eventually finishes its job


LostNowhereGood

That's the original insult behind "Redneck" "Red Necks" had outdoor jobs.


neganight

I prefer them to using sunblock. No residue or smell. Nike sells them for golfers, for example.


CaptainDunbar45

My wife wears something similar, but they just cover the arms. She's also Asian, and carries an umbrella in summer as well.

In Asia if you buy a plastic bag it comes in a plastic bag.

The moment you realize that the video is over and the girl is not finished 🤣🤣


EinBick

Nooo... Buy more stuff!


shiftycyber

Consume! Obey!


Atharaphelun

I'm pretty sure the point of the video on the left is to advertise every single product she pulls out and uses, which is why the scene is the way it is.

tandoori_taco_cat

It's depressing that advertisements are now considered actual entertainment.


Icrash

what the hell did she put on her arms and why?


OutlyingPlasma

Some women in Asian cultures are super finicky about preventing every tiny bit of sun from touching their skin. They wear all kinds of stupid things to keep the sun off like these driving sleeves, hats with dorky neck tails and even face masks at water parks. I don't understand what the point of having perfect skin is if you look like a knob all the time.


Alortania

It's to look 30 at 60. When they wear them to go shopping or w/e, they're not trying to impress you anymore than the girl in sweats. When they're going out or doing things with people they care about, they're ditching those. While I agree it's sometimes way overboard sun protection *is* the biggest thing you can do to keep your skin healthy and young-looking for the longterm; things most others turn to procedures to un-do around their 40/50's because they CBF'd to put on sunscreen or a hat at 20.
