@@steviegallagher1801 Hard disagree. This offers some sort of introspection and depth and starts a conversation at the very least. Not equivalent to mindless algorithm slop at all.
Just treat your audience like newborns. Big facial expressions, loud slow noises with contrasting cadence, quick shiny movements that remind us of mommy's car keys. Take the viewer to simpler times...when they were a baby with no thoughts.

@@moonwatcher2877 Jerma was the origin, +/-2 is part of the wider twitch culture at this point but NL's community has latched on to it more than most. There's quite a lot of crossover in the NL/Jerma communities, especially since Jerma's soft retirement.
Okay… I wish I could go back a minute in time, the time just before I was forced to know these people exist. I haven’t been this disappointed and upset since I was forced to learn the Kartrashians exist.
In the first half of HBomb's plagiarism video he talks about the lowest tier content farms, and my vote goes to the UA-cam shorts of a monotone voice narrating comics. I hated getting recommended those things.
It's so...juvenile? Like it's so boisterous and as if the kid originally thought of it to be funny, and then the dad or mom or whoever ie behind the production(looks like the dad, right? I've never heard of these people and I'm no on TikTok, for this exact reason) took it to a whole other level, forcing it to be entertaining on a content consumable level, especially for other juveniles. It's so loud, they're close to the camera, it's disorienting.
@@rachel5399 its so bright too, to the point that they almost look fake, and all that contrasts with the relative nonchalance of some of the family members SO hard. i also hate the speech cadence the dad uses as well but thats just a personal problem i think lmao
Family vlogs are so cringe they feel criminal. Like those parents who stuff their 5 kids in RV shelf beds and make all their content by replying to "hate comments" that call them out for child abuse.
Hey, sry, i am somewhat technology illiterate. Is that possible? All my social media brings me "popular content" in between. So i guess the algorithms are programmed to create popularity for "plants"
@@MZBS639 So there is a term on the internet called doomscrolling. The way I see it, there are two sets of people who doomscroll. The first one likes every video they come across because it's become a habit after spending so much time on social media. TikTok's algorithm thinks this user enjoys a wide variety of content. TikTok will recommend more content, this encapsulates the "popular" videos because that's what the algorithm thinks most people would enjoy. The second type scrolls past every video with little or zero interaction. Since TikTok thinks this user does not enjoy what the algorithm has pushed forward. The recommendations will alter slightly. TikTok will still recommend popular videos because there is no input from the user. There are other way of curating your recommendations. When you come across a user or content which you dislike or just don't want to see. You can hold down on your phone and press "Not interested". This works on UA-cam too but you can also set it to "Do not recommend this channel". So in conclusion, like and favourite the videos you want to see and click "Not interested" on videos you do not want to see.
just saw on twitter that the dad has been vlogging since his son was a baby strapped to his back 😭 but the videos have definitely changed in tone, it's wild to see. it used to be a quirky dad grocery shopping at different stores with his son, and now they're just spokespeople for costco. it doesn't even seem like they're shopping half the time, they just go there to film bullsh*t 🙃
Oh no, I've been served Costco Guys content from another youtuber for weeks now, and suddenly Gianmarco is talking about them too. I've never seen one of their actual videos, just videos where people talk about them and then reference clips. But the way this is going, I might suddenly see their channel pop up on my screen against my will
Oh wow I didn't realize that the latest MeatCanyon Costco animation might be satirizing specific people. First time I've heard of them, but the dad and boys in that family are a dead match 😮
Are we fascinated because media has devolved into artless commerce, or because we're afraid for the kid being exploited? A little of Column A, a little of Column B.
My old boss is the father of ‘the rizzler’ (another variation of what the kid does in this family, just more odd somehow lmfao) and it is as soulless as it feels. The kid runs on nothing but brainrot from what I saw when he was at the store, that’s the case for all of them pretty much.
Anytime a comedian says something online is dumb, they are just incredulous and jealous that it's so much more popular than the hard work of waiting jokes.
The essence never change but the form does. I think for me it is that i dont understand yet what is underneath this new coat. Gianmarco mentioned fascination. He probably also cant categorize it yet. You encrypted it already. I did not. For me it seems random.
People made that conclusion about reality TV from years back. So is this just old man shaking fist in air or was reality TV the beginning and social media took the baton?

Gianmarco's book would be "Growing up with my dad on the weekends"
He wouldn’t be the only one 🥲
😂😂😂
Now that's a bit for a show
YOU GOT A REPLY FROM THE MAN HIMSELF.
@@Ghostie_boi567 The costco kid? I’d be honoured. I’d even accept the rizzler.
"Social media has trained us to accept a version of entertainment that is so low."
Oof, that's spot on.
A very accurate analysis of the effects of social media on entertainment quality-I’d read that paper.
@@steviegallagher1801 Hard disagree. This offers some sort of introspection and depth and starts a conversation at the very least. Not equivalent to mindless algorithm slop at all.
"I'm just gonna go on tiktok and EVERYTHING's gonna get 5 booms." So dystopian.
this is fucking hilarious actually
when everyone gets five booms no one will
Just treat your audience like newborns. Big facial expressions, loud slow noises with contrasting cadence, quick shiny movements that remind us of mommy's car keys.
Take the viewer to simpler times...when they were a baby with no thoughts.
True, but these guys would definitely scare me as a baby (and they still do)
How to become Mr. Beast in 30 days.
Reminds me of this skincare chick who puts a bunch of air in her cheeks for no reason, big wide eyes like a baby, or points at something and does the exaggerated finger wave to say "no", it legit makes me unhappy to think about
I dunno the whole thing immediately is off putting for me. I think if I was a baby it would scare me
@@Runic182The teletubbies did a better job with this.
Okay idk how serious Gian is here but the moment he ever so calmly said, "something about feels evil" iDIED 🤣🤣🤣
😂😂😂😂 Same!!!!
So true. There’s something hollow and insidious. Maybe life is about the booms we made along the way ?
This is why I can't even have a tik tok. The amount of absolute fuckery.
Bro, you're on Google branded tik tok
a well trained algorithm can give you a great feed but the default fyp is literally apocalyptic.
Yeah, so we go to youtube shorts instead 😂
Do you understand how much time I lose on this app and shorts? TikTok would be my grave!
tiktok is where braincells go to die.
So true! I give this video 💥💥💥💥💥
I've never heard of them but I've heard of you so that's a win.
We're costco guys, of course we give everything 5 booms
+2
hey cousin angelo, what’s that smell?
@@IvanfescoNL fans??
@riggsmarkham922 do NL fans also use the +2 -2 metric?? that's so interesting. im pretty sure jerma was the origin for that

Literally the actual plot of Idiocracy
That kid one day is gonna be sold to harvest coco beans, the prophecy foretold it!!!!
“When Dad said, ‘Boom boom boom boom. I want you in my room,’ things really started to go downhill…”
- Boom Jr., “Growing Up With Dad”, pg. 12
You’ll always be five booms for me, Gianmarco 💥💥💥💥💥
Okay… I wish I could go back a minute in time, the time just before I was forced to know these people exist. I haven’t been this disappointed and upset since I was forced to learn the Kartrashians exist.
What's wrong with the Kardashians?
So this is where MEAT CANYON gets that reference vid. Hahaha
I don’t know if it’s the lighting, but you’re absolutely glowing here, Gianmarco!
Gianmarco in a tank top AND shorts? Hate crime 💯
Literally came here to say that he knows what he’s doing to his queer fans 😭
In the first half of HBomb's plagiarism video he talks about the lowest tier content farms, and my vote goes to the UA-cam shorts of a monotone voice narrating comics. I hated getting recommended those things.
If it's any consolation Gianmarco I watch you everyday, I never watched the boom guys
Literally “trained us to accept a version of entertainment that’s so low” is soooooo the truth
i dont know why but the use of the word "boom" makes me deeply uncomfortable, you're absolutely right about the evilness
"Five Booms" sounds like what the kid gets if he refuses to make a Boom Guys video
@@gifgoldblum7940 its such an uncanny heightened billy mays type reality
It's so...juvenile? Like it's so boisterous and as if the kid originally thought of it to be funny, and then the dad or mom or whoever ie behind the production(looks like the dad, right?

We're the Costco Guys, I don't actually know what the punchline is
I JUST SAW THE BEHIND THE SCENES OF THIS SHIT AND ITS KINDA SCARYY
Never heard of the boom people until this.😂😂😂
"It's so popular"
Legit the first time I've heard or seen them... Hooray I guess?
Hello shoulders 😍😝
Family vlogs are so cringe they feel criminal. Like those parents who stuff their 5 kids in RV shelf beds and make all their content by replying to "hate comments" that call them out for child abuse.
Absolutely. I think children content should be banned. The content is child abuse cause child labour.
My Muslim ass clicked so fast thinking we have some representation on the channel 😭😭
Hahahahahahahahahaha😂😂😂
😝💀💀💀
Irish person here, me too my friend :{
they will not pick u sumaya 😭😭
STOP IT LMAO
It’s the book Fahrenheit 451.
Idk what Gianmarco was doing with his hand when he said, "the Boom guys". But it was cute. 5 Booms for you, Gianmarco.
it’s the scientology eyes
Its funny he called it evil because there's nothing inherently bad about them to my knowledge, but i get a sinister vibe every time i see their clips.
MeatCanyon's skit of that father son duo was amazing. So some good things do sprout out from the putrid cesspool that is influencer culture.
There was a certain tweet you did that garnered quite some attention, maybe hone in on that? 😂😂😂
Please write a childrens book about appreciation trophies, call it 'Everything Gets Five Booms!!!'
Why is this 100% both sides of my brain at once
That's why I've curated my TikTok FYP to just be cat videos and shitposts. Brick by brick.

"Im just gonna go on tiktok 😔 everything is gonna get 5 booms"
Growing up with my dad: Zero Booms 💀
"I'm just gonna go on Doordash, everything's gonna get five stars"
He might end up giving his dad his final boom a little earlier than expected.
I really thought he was gonna say "Do you ever find yourself thinking of, what could i make that could get five booms?"
The WHAT guys THEY ARE THE COSTCO GUYS
They've already debunked the family dynamic.. something about goats and being fed too much? It was a whole story. Sad lol life for their family 😢
lol what
I'll buy THAT for a dollar!!!
It’s probably just a Costco shill tbh… 😉
literally

But the way this is going, I might suddenly see their channel pop up on my screen against my will
Growing up with my dad, BOO.
Literally just watched August the Ducks video on why he thinks this Dad is evil. I agree its super uncanny.
Costco Dad was an indie pro wrestler before he was a dad, so it's really just another bit he's doing at the end of the day
you haven't seen the lore, big justice and aj have a great relationship and he's a great dad
I think the term brainrot is extremely apt.
I mean it’s children watching it man.
We are subjecting them to just bad content
A whole family with a catch phrase? Good for them. Keep it the hell away from me, but good for them.
Uhhh no
never heard of them, my algorhythm says "bullshit" to stuff like the boomguys.
you are to smart for us, is that it, ha ha ha, the very first way to cope
Gianmarco idk, I think this is sort of a modern, safe-for-work Sir Toby Belch analogue situation.
Bro should watch the Meat Canyon video on this "family"
You could cover random things in random paint colors
I'm pretty sure Meat Canyon made a very unsettling parody animation about that Costco Boom Guy. You all should check it out sometime
Oh wow I didn't realize that the latest MeatCanyon Costco animation might be satirizing specific people. First time I've heard of them, but the dad and boys in that family are a dead match 😮
Gianmarco looking really good here… I know he has a girlfriend but daaaamn
G what are you wearing!
I absolutely love your comedy but when you said that thing about social media I playfully wanted to respond "aren't you popular on social media?" 😅
People have liked shit media forever though. But yeah, this absolutely feels evil and upsetting.
Where is Ouch My Balls?
First I've ever heard of them. I am grateful, looks very weird!
It's a Cosco Ad.
Zero booms omfg
Are we fascinated because media has devolved into artless commerce, or because we're afraid for the kid being exploited? A little of Column A, a little of Column B.
I hafe that I know that exists now
When your rating system has no variation it has no value. They're basically pointless critics.
The demeaning nature of it. The gluttony. The “how tf did they get popular?”
Food addiction is so icky
it's so crazy bc meat canyon just made a damn video about them
For real gotta go watch Meatcanyon's video on them.
You should see meat canyons video on this family
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Oh they don't hold microphones over their heads? That's what a boom guy is
My old boss is the father of ‘the rizzler’ (another variation of what the kid does in this family, just more odd somehow lmfao) and it is as soulless as it feels. The kid runs on nothing but brainrot from what I saw when he was at the store, that’s the case for all of them pretty much.
I'm so glad I had don't use or view TikTok, it seems like such a hell scape... If you're entertained by it we can't be friends...
The secret to happiness is stupidity
It's fast
I have never once seen or even HEARD of these ppl???
did anyone see that embarrassing video of them with another guy and the dad keeps telling them to repeat what they said but in his way?
Something is problematic if Meatcanyon makes fun of it.
The weird vile grossout humor guy is now the authority on things being problematic, huh? Okay.
So glad I’ve never heard of these clowns
Anytime a comedian says something online is dumb, they are just incredulous and jealous that it's so much more popular than the hard work of waiting jokes.
I hate that kind of "entertainment"...
Father and son: are bonding
Gianmarco Soresi: god I wish that were me
I don't think it's quite that deep. A lot of conclusions you're jumping to here.
This is just the banality of day time TV repackaged for TikTok. It's nothing new, what am I missing?
The essence never change but the form does. I think for me it is that i dont understand yet what is underneath this new coat.
Gianmarco mentioned fascination. He probably also cant categorize it yet.
You encrypted it already. I did not. For me it seems random.
Idiocracy....
People made that conclusion about reality TV from years back. So is this just old man shaking fist in air or was reality TV the beginning and social media took the baton?
Reality TV was the beginning of lowest common denominator entertainment.
Definitely the former.
Not entertaining to me.
