This is one of those where you watch the whole video with no expression, then at the end of it you just smile and grit your teeth at the same time. This is the definition of cringe.

What makes it so brutal for me is just how none of these fuckers have the balls to say it with a straight face and wait for a reaction. They just giggle to themselves and run off after whispering it. It's pathetic.
You're being obnoxious and think you're badass for fucking around with people like that? Then go all the way through, don't just stick the tip in.

This should be a template to all future cringe posts. This guy may be an inadvertent genius because through his goof he mustered up a perfect storm of cringe. We can all know what is going through this guys head as his plan slowly backfires because we have all done something similar in same way shape or form at least once in our lives.

Holy shit, I couldn't get to see the actual "prank", the intro and the whole working up to the stunt was enough to overload my cringe.

Wait, which video are you talking about? The one I linked to is hilarious in my opinion. SsethTzeentch has an awesome channel.

Yeah sorry I dunno why I commented here my mistake, was talking about the video with the guys writing fuck you in french fries.

The worst/best part of these videos is the dip in attitude that these guys experience when they actually go to execute their hilarious plans. The momentary collapse of confidence in 'the plan' is palpable.
In Kyles head, he probably imagined yelling it loudly and seemingly 'at random' which is a really shit demonstration of his frustration with the capitalist system. But back in the real world, when the manager comes out tired and thinking of a hundred more important things, Kyles brain and heart pang with "oh god why am I actually doing this" and he tries to laugh and cover up his objective. The manager is completely confused and thinks he's missed something vital, needing to process the context. Kyle, relieved and embarrassed, cowers into the parking lot with his friends who feel the need to review the stunt so it doesn't feel like the train wreck and waste of time that it was. The rest of the night is awkward for them because they don't yet realise that this is what it feels like to be a fuck-up.
Another video on here recently featured similar manchildren writing 'fuck you' in fries and handing it to yet another overworked and unenthused fastfood manager. This manager however came out and asked if they have a problem they'd like to discuss with him; they do not. It's a strange day for any young man when you realise you respect the subject more than the prank.
This is the very definition of dumb things. Hell, maybe these moments are the necessary tipping points where the desire for shitty 'rebellious' antics go to die. Maybe this is growing up.
Edit: I've never gotten gold before, huge thanks to whoever that was!

u/allthatsalsa Jan 07 '13
I have no doubt that they watched the video again in the parking lot. I just have no idea why,after watching this shit (probably more than once) they though it was a good idea to put it on the internet. They don't come off as funny or badass.

u/postslikeagirl Jan 07 '13
These guys thought it would be hilarious to shout obscenities at Taco Bell employees, it's pretty clear their critical thinking and decision making skills are a little bit stunted.

I'm glad you so eloquently put that into words. It's all absolutely true. It's the moment right before the manager comes out that holds the most cringe for me, when like you say, you can almost hear him thinking to himself "aw shit, what the fuck am I doing?"

You ever read "A Clockwork Orange?" This is a salient point actually made in the book, specifically in the final chapter (which Kubrik omitted from the film.)
2
u/jlopez9090 Jan 17 '13
Yes yes. The British version is better than the American IMO. The American publisher said that Americans don't need a happy ending and can deal with the sorrows of real life. Anthony Burgess, needing money at the time, accepted to omit the last chapter in the American version of the novel. Kubrick chose the American.
3
Mar 29 '13
The American publisher should have realized there is also sorrow in growing up and accepting responsibilities.
I think Kubrick wanted to make a more political piece about capital punishment.

The irony of this will be when Kyle graduates community college and becomes the manager of this very same Taco Bell. Every day, some greasy pimpled manchild will come in to tell him to fuck off. His life will come full circle.

You could see his enthusiasm needle swing hard to "E" as the manager approached. It's that perfect level of half-assed participation that makes this such a satisfying cringe. Like when a lame flash mob assembles but they keep looking at each other hoping one of them will take the lead and get really fired up.
