Hila: Hey guys, this is Ethan here.
Ethan: And I'm Hila.
Talk louder.
I can't talk louder, this is loud as my voice is.
They can't hear you.
[slightly louder] I'm Hila.
Good.
Today, we have a crazy video.
We are reacting to a subreddit called, Mildly Interesting.
Even though it's super interesting, we're gonna- it's gonna, like, the best video we've ever made.
Ethan: Yeah.
Hila: [takes off shades] Cool.
Ethan: [laughs] What? That's the big reveal?
I don't do it that- I'm way more cinematic than that!
Hila: Okay, I'll [inaudible]. Ethan: Hila's trying to roast me.
[chuckles]
Let's go.
Ethan: [laughs] No, you sa- what?
That was not good! You have to be more cinematic. Let's go.
Hila: Let's... go.
Ethan: So, I'm going to sit here and smile and say "yeah" and then, I'll just..
I won't say anything. And I'll talk really quiet so people can't hear me.
Hila: Yeah, also try to look really uncomfortable.
Ethan: Mhm.
Now, you just start. Now, just be funny.
Hila: Oh, wow... okay.
Um...
Hila: So... [chuckles] Ethan: Not that easy, is it?
Not that fucking easy!
Mildly Interesting is a subreddit on Reddit for pictures and .gifs
of stuff that's not /too/ interesting, but not /not/ interesting. Hila: Mhm.
It's the perfect zone. Not too cold, not too hot.
It's the Goldilocks of Reddit.
Hila: You think it's the best subreddit?
Ethan: Here's what you would do, you'd be like [imitates Hila] I don't know if it's one of the best.
and then you go... and then you would say Hila: [chuckles] Well guys, this is the best subreddit.
This is the BEST, Ethan! [laughs]
So, let's get started. *takes off shades*
So, do you have a script? Or, you...
Ethan: A script?! I am improvcomedy.net Hila: What do you- what do you d-
Ethan: If you didn't tell my jokes, my fresh ass jokes.
Hila: Is there a prompter? Ethan: There's no prompter, baby. [points to head] It's just all here.
Be funny. Go.. monkey!
Hila: Okay. Ethan: [laughs] Hahaha!
Ethan: So, actually, you're doing it wrong.
What you should do, yeah that's good, you just want to peak your eye a little bit, that's the classic one.
But, like, you gotta put your head down [laughs]
Okay, this is good. Look at the camera, look at the camera.
God, this is the dumbest fucking video we've ever made, isn't it?
So the first thing, [reads] the "Lens flare in this photo looks like Eric Cartman".
Do you see that?!
Ethan: [slightly shocked] Yeah.
Hila: That's crazy.
Ethan: [light chuckle] Yeah. Hila: [laughs]
What are the chances? This is amazing. Like really crazy.
Ethan: Yeah.
Is that me?! Is what I'd say, Hila?! Hila: [laughs] No!
You can do better than that!
HIla: "This lowercase stop sign".
Have you ever seen something like that?
Ethan: [shakes head] Uh-uh.
Hila: A lowercase stop sign.
Ethan: Say something like, "This idiot at the factory forgot to hit Caps Lock."
Hila: This idiot at the factory forgot to [laughs] hit Caps Lock.
Ethan: [nods] Very funny observation, Hila, that is- or I mean, Ethan.
That is probably what happened. Hila: Thank you.
Hila: How about this counterfeit ten dollar?
Look at him, he looks like a retard.
Ethan: I would never say retard, that word is very offensive!
I'd say, "Why would somebody go through the effort of counterfeiting a $10 bill to make a retarded version?"
Hila: [reads] "This store lets customers choose whether they want to be bothered by the staff".
I think it's really interesting.
Ethan: Really?
Hila: I hate when people try to help me.
I never need help.
Ethan: [snorts]
Hila: Does it look like I need help, Ethan?
Does it look like I need help?
Does it look like I need help?!
I don't need help!
I need to go back to my side position.
Ethan: You're a pretty good Ethan, but...
Hila: It's just too stressful.
Ethan: I don't think you have it. I don't think you got it.
I'm missing my "yeah"'s.
Alright, let's switch back. Hila: Okay.
Ethan: Somebody has suggested that we try a whole video where we switch places,
But, I feel like we ran that- we ran that gimmick into the ground.
[reads] "After I poured milk into my coffee, I found Snoopy on the doghouse under the moon".
That's insane if that happened accidentally.
Hila: It's okay.
Ethan: Oh, man! You're a tough crowd!
Okay, well this one has 80,000 upvotes.
Would you upvote this if you saw it on the front page?
Hila: No. Ethan: You wouldn't?!
Oh, shit. Hila, you're fucking rough, dude.
I mean, if that happened by chance, I'm like, "I believe in Jesus now."
My next coffee that I pour is going to be the face of Jesus.
[reads] "Whenever our maintenance guy writes, 'old', it looks like a mildly unhappy face."
That's.. eugh... that is mildly interesting, I agree. Hila: Yeah.
That's a funny face.
Ethan: Who underlines 'old' and then circles it?
Like, you, you've punctuated the 'old' too many times.
Hila: He really has a system.
Ethan: We have a seagull standing on a seagull!
Hila: What are they doing? Ethan: They're chilling, dude.
They're like two birds from a cartoon who are just, like, gangsters or something.
Is this too interesting to be on this subreddit, Hila?
Or, is it good? Hila: Definitely not.
Ethan: No. [laughs] 'kay, okay. Good. Thanks for putting that to rest.
Oh my God, these fucking Canadians.
She goes to school in Canada and "we write our exams in a hockey rink".
You Canadian goofballs. Hila: Why?
Ethan: I don't know! I guess that's where they feel at home.
They probably have the ice there too, they come out and they have their ice skating blades on.
They keep those on all the time, I don't even think they have cars in Canada.
I think they just ice-skate everywhere.
It's a weird place. A very mildly interesting country.
[reads] "There is a disabled model in the Target brochure".
I don't, uh, [mumbles] not doing anything for me.
Is it mildly interesting?
Hila: I think it is. Ethan: Yeah? Okay, shit. Fuck me, dude.
Hila: Well, I've never seen that, so it's-
Ethan: I guess that's true.
For me, I just see people as they are.
I don't see crutches or skin colour or anything, so I just see a beautiful person who deserves to be a model.
But if you see her disabilities, that's cool.
[reads] "My local dentist has a ceiling "Where's Wally?" for patients during appointments".
Hila: Wow.
Ethan: Huh. That's pretty sweet.
I wond- did he license this, though?
I don't know if he's officially li- I don't know if this is legal.
I don't know if he's consulted an attorney on this.
Okay, if he's licensed. Hila: I really thought you're being sued.
[reads] "Nobody is sitting on the white tiles".
That is so weird!
Why there's so many people sitting on the floor?
It's Taipei Station!
They [say] it's Taiwan Taipei Station.
It's from the ARING.
This just got way too interesting.
This is Taipei Station!
[reads] "This bird we sell resembles Donald Trump".
Really?
Oh my God, I see it!
Hila: The hair!
Ethan: He looks pissed.
I love this bird is just angry all the time.
It's an Angry Bird!
Hila: [awkward laugh]
It's almost a dad joke.
Ethan: Almost. Watch what you say, Hila.
Might be dropping real dad jokes soon, if you know what I mean?
Hila: [chuckles] I'm not pregnant.
Ethan: [reads] "My wallet matches my car seats". Hila: Woah.
Ethan: Wait... WHAAAT?!
It's the same pattern! Hila: That's insane.
Ethan: Did he make it? I feel like- Hila: Yeah, I almost don't believe it.
Ethan: I don't believe- well, he's got a vape in the bottom left, so I don't think he's an industrious guy.
If he's vaping, he probably didn't do this.
'Cause you either have time for vaping or upholstering. You don't get to do both.
Hila: People vape and work?
Ethan: ... No.
[reads] "My smoke detector caught [...] fire".
What?!
I feel like if this set fire and then didn't go off,
and then actually burned your house down, could maybe be the most ironic death of all time.
I just had an epiphany about this mildly interesting video. Hila: Yeah?
Ethan: It's fucking.. dumb.
This is boring. But hey, at least it's not click-bait.
'Cause I think I can safely say, this video is mildly interesting.
And is certainly not anything more than that.
With that being said, guys, I think we all have better stuff to do.
So, let's wrap it up.
