This has no right being as amusing as it is, and maybe that's where the fun is. It's the defiance of expectation, the dramatic underselling of everything.. the attempted build up, and the immediate deflation. Which is something Zoey and Shadow are both good at from different angles and tend to enjoy. The more awkward and uncomfortable it gets, the more *amusing* the situation gets, without quite boiling over. Just marvelous.
There is a reason why the shadow+rambler JJ stream was my favorite and this is the same level of cringey awkwardness that somehow still comes off as adorable. God damn lovely weirdos.
the silence between answers, you can almost imagine shadows face pondering where to take the convo next "im very sorry i dont know have anything to talk about when i have to talk about things" "you never have to, and its fine, it was a good bit!" "it wasn't... a bit" ......... "oh."
I sympathize with Fionn. I have two friends with whom we've known each other for over a decade. Yet, there are times I leave them on discord to go take care of something. Sometimes I'll just listen in silently and it's so painfully awkward to hear them try and converse.
In this video: Shadow is only allowed to speak in quotes from a book on small talk written by someone who sucks at small talk Zoey is told to deliberately shut down every attempt at conversation as quickly as possible Beautiful. Simply amazing.
I come back to this video every once in a while. Its just... i dont know. It feels nice but also incredibly funny and awkward. I wouldnt call it cringe, its just... nice cringe. Not in a bad way
I feel similarly about pokemon, I think i like pokemon, but then i started playing cobblemon, then started playing in a server, and I'm thinking maybe i don't like pokemon.
Challenge: Engage in small talk
Final Boss: Zoey (difficulty: *IMPOSSIBLE* )
What else do you expect from the only person to ever win at haircuts
Zoey finally did it, she denied a "hair dresser" a conversation
Some day, I want to win at hair cuts too. Gotta train like the master.
Zoey: "It wasn't a bit"
Shadow: "oh" 0v0

"A Human" she says as she speaks with her Racoon avatar

Don't worry Zoey
You'll be allergic to something someday. I believe in you.
This feels like a first date that someone sets you up on
shadow's comedic response to zoey is just so perfect too. just dead silence after the deadpan lmao.

For me it was all the Swiss Chalet talk
Oh god, they're so awkward. It hurts, it hurts and I suffer and I can't get enough.
Zoey, all hail the queen of deadpan!!!! Or... Super awkwardness, either works...
”it wasnt a bit” XD

This is so relatable
same. I could relate so hard
I feel Zoey. I am glad it has been a long time since I had to engage in small talk.

I laugh but I know I’m 100% one of those people, some of us just are not that charismatic lol

Beautiful. Simply amazing.
Pretty much how I talk in conversations... though this feel weirdly wholesome for being awkward talk.
that was gold standard awkward conversation, well done everyone!
i took 2d8 psychic damage

Love Zoey
I'm crying 😂
"Do you like food?" 🤣
It's painful how much I relate to this
"Whole milk"
Do we have some contenders for team double awkward
OWWWWW that was painful
Sounds like Zoey is having conversation with AI
I come back to this video every once in a while. Its just... i dont know. It feels nice but also incredibly funny and awkward. I wouldnt call it cringe, its just... nice cringe. Not in a bad way
I love this.
Awkward is an apt term
Ouch this is the most awkward conversation in the history of ever
They need Luke to prepare questions
This hurts my soul
I feel similarly about pokemon, I think i like pokemon, but then i started playing cobblemon, then started playing in a server, and I'm thinking maybe i don't like pokemon.
"Do you X?"
"No."
"Do you Y?"
"No."
"Do you Z?"
"No."
"... uh huh."
