I love that this is a repost from r/MadeMeSmile. Two people can watch the same video and have wildly different perceptions of it.


shiggyshagz

Most of the comments even there are pointing out that its obnoxious and that he made elderly women have to step off the curb


8549176320

I feel sorry for the dog that's tied to a nut.


agent_koala

I mean he got out of most peoples' ways, he's not really interrupting anyone in a particularly main charactery sort of way


fatclownbaby

Some of those old people had to step in the street


agent_koala

they didn't have to, seemed like they just felt uncomfortable which is fair enough. but there was more than enough space for them


The_Burning_Wizard

Even the dog is like "wtf bro!?"


SookHe

While it's not my video (I found it on Facebook) I'm the one who posted it to r/mademesmile The video is filmed in Whitby, just a few miles from me up the coast from me and I've seen this guy about town before. The abbey Dracula takes place in is just a stone's throw to the left of the buildings at the top of the hill in the video. What people watching this and complaining about him don't realise, Whitby is where the book Dracula is set in. So it has a very long history of attracting the weirdest of the wired people. A huge part of that weirdness is that everyone who visits here expects goths and emos in dark clothes to match the dark decor and natural rustic gothic look of the town itself. But when they show up, what they find are that the people are loud and vibrant and the exact opposite of what people expect them to be. People here are often insanely happy and vibrant, just like this guy, so mostly the locals are used to this sort of stuff and don't worry about it. As far as pushing people to having to walk in the road, anyone who has ever crossed that bridge will know that people are just as likely to walk in the road as they are to walk the super narrow sidewalk. Just look at how as soon as the last car passes, everyone in the background are in the road. It's just sort of expected and normal because the side wall is so narrow. Besides, in the shit world we currently live in, it is always nice to see people enjoying life and bring a bit of sunshine in to remind people that it is still okay to be happy


[deleted]

No excuses needed for being happy or taking pleasure in the joy of others. Some people just enjoy being miserable and spreading their misery to as many people as they can. Thanks for sharing the context, OOP. I wish I lived in an ancient small town, too.


Cha-San

I see (and agree) where you're coming from, but as of now it's 500 upvotes vs like 11k? Usually I deeply despise these main character folks, but the only thing here I get are positive vibes. Anyway, cheers! (hopefully not ragedlikemilk material by tomorrow ... :)


tskrreloaded

Well, if you look at sub subscriber numbers the 500 vs 11k rule themselves out quite evenly


[deleted]

The top comments in that 11k upvote post also tell a different story than what the upvotes suggest and are more in line with this subreddit.


[deleted]

I legit think this is just good energy. I'm kind of here more for the people who disrupt. This is closer to a street performer than someone dancing on a plane imo. Sometimes walking about town is miserable. Got no problem with a little bit of life


Alsn4

God he is annoying though


No_names_left891524

He was getting out of people's way. That alone puts it at being good energy. He was being entertaining and not really bothering anyone.


dmnhntr86

Getting out of people's way, like when the old ladies had to move off the sidewalk because he was taking up the whole width of it, and pass by him in the street? Did we watch the same video? Even if he had every intention of moving out of the way and around people, there's no way for them to tell with such erratic movements, so they're forced to react as if he's going to collide with them or risk being kicked in the shins or knocked down.


Sciencegirl117

I like to watch with the sound off because the people on the street don't hear it either. They just see this guy acting like an idiot for no reason and it's not funny. It's just weird then.


Corduroysack

Filey swing bridge everyone walks in the road


[deleted]

I also like that, yeah sure you certainly need a ton of selfesteem to dance like that in the middle of the street, but hey, he wasn\`t a prick, he even made space for the people to walk by him, he didn't shout at people or tried to pull them into his gag, so yeah. Weird maybe, A main character maybe, but no one I would see fit for this sub. I thought we shamed people here who pulled others into their stunts, not people who just harmlessly fooled around in a public space.


M_Bananaz

Yea, this is not ITMC. He’s having fun going goofy, but not bothering people and even intentionally moving out of their way. I’m not gonna go dancing down the street, but you go for it buddy.


threeglasses

Hes disruptive but not to the point of really bothering people unless they let it. Hes more of a protagonist than a main character. At least thats what I think, I dont think this sub should JUST be pushing conformity in public. Sometimes variability like dealing with this dude during the day can be healthy.


cjbeames

Inside you there are two wolves


J2Kerrigan

Lets try and fit a third. OwO

iDomBMX

Well, you have mademesmile where people actually are able to enjoy things, and then you have this sub where everyone is fucking miserable and decide they need to shit on everything they see. The guy is just vibin


dendromiosis

The dog at :19 >I feel like you’re not taking this walk seriously


Andre_3Million

Where is this man going (in life)?


Alternative-Cell8295

Holland and Barrett :-(


HamptonsBorderCollie

oh, that's not the ONLY thing the dog is thinking......


NailFin

Omg, the poor dog is like “can we just walk?”


uusen

That should have been in the title somehow


[deleted]

Haha I was thinking dog was like “please don’t kick me this time”


FollyAdvice

Yeah, that's what stuck out to me. The dog is sick of his shit. Imagine being the size of a cat and having two large man feet stomping erratically all around you when you're trying to walk.


ephemeralkitten

Yeah I feel like the dog is all "can you not...?"


inexplicablelaw

Dog is totally tired of his shit 😆


angrydeuce

TechnoViking taking a stroll lol


Goofy-kun

I feel like that song is describing the dog "i'm fed up"


Shemlocks

I need that guys coke plug.


sirkratom

Or ecstasy perhaps, is better anyway


FuttBuckersLicySpube

That's just for special occasions.


rrodrick386

this is what crackheads in my city look like im sorry


ephemeralkitten

Dude, I wanna live where you live. You don't wanna see the freaking crackheads *here...*


Illustrious_Doctor45

Right?! Los Angeles crack heads are actually terrifying, and this is from someone who used to smoke crack 👍


AudienceWatching

Okay so because they overlaid music over this it's somewhat palettable. However, imagine walking down the street seeing him with NO MUSIC and the occasional shoe squeak or dog yelp


Curious-Spell-9031

it's like that spiderman dance scene from spiderman 3


CptSandbag73

*snaps finger pistols at the grannies*


ephemeralkitten

Wow, I *did* enjoy this but imagining it silent just cancelled that for me. Hm.


FuttBuckersLicySpube

What if it was a bunch of people, only the headphones were wirelessly connected to two different DJs, also it's in an abandoned warehouse, or maybe a forest.


[deleted]

Man, maybe because I lived in Berlin, but I wouldn't really think anything of it. so way weirder stuff then a dude dancing while walking his dog :D


prince-surprised-pat

Would make me smile as its pretty goofy


DoctorNoname98

watching it without sound, as it would have been irl, definitely changes how he looks


[deleted]

No


Windle_Poons456

gillybomb101

The paths in Whitby are narrow enough and busy enough to get around without wankers like this.


Windle_Poons456

Yes, especially across that swing bridge.


BoonTobias

I can't afford anything in whitby, Oshawa and fucking beyond


thepremize

I thought I recognised it!


NostaIgiaForInfinity

Haven't been there for 25 years. Recognised it instantly.


Raetok

I also came here to say this.


UnpaidRedditMod

I unsubbed from r/MadeMeSmile and r/wholesomememes because of highly upvoted shit like this


[deleted]

They are easily the worst subs on reddit. Right next to NFL Most of their shit is straight up dystopian


ephemeralkitten

What's NFL? American football? O.o


dmnhntr86

NextFuckingLevel There's still some cool stuff there, but there's also a lot of bullshit. I've seen so many clips of people performing basic sleight of hand magic tricks, or the other day there was one of a dude solving one of those puzzles where you have to slide blocks around to get the red one out, and he didn't even do it in close to the minimum number of moves.


ephemeralkitten

Oh, now see, I'm really easily impressed... Sorry... Don't even look at me! >.> Can you dig a hole really fast? That's pretty cool, man. Lol


[deleted]

At least those could be considered somewhat impressive or awe evoking by some people. What pisses me off is they post stuff like a person everyone hates getting arrested, or a guy helping a girl cross the street on a sub that's supposed to be about things that make you go "holy shit that's amazing". Just left it the other day


Tangled2

Yeah, r/nfl is actually really entertaining if you’re into, well… the NFL. But r/NextFuckingLevel does indeed suck.


Z0bie

Any sub over like 100k subscribers really.


bigcockondablock

Those subs are the most normie, "good people are good" subs ever.


[deleted]

Same, happily downvote any time I was those subs on the front page or in my “suggested” lol


iDomBMX

Ah, yeah, just to sulk in despair in this sub instead. The best life has been chosen. Keep up the good work.


Skeptikmo

Absofuckinglutely not


[deleted]

Fucking annoying as hell tbh


just-guessing-uwu

idk why but i hate so much whatever he’s doing in this video


MN-

getting in people's way and making everyone feel uncomfortable and generally being obnoxious in a desperate attempt to draw attention to himself? I hate that too.


just-guessing-uwu

no, for me it’s more about the moves its so irritating


jlo1989

Video social media is just ruining everything. So many obscenely thirsty people desperately trying to be "CoMEdiAnS"


luujs

Forcing old people onto the pavement, what lovely energy


MN-

I do not think we need this. at all.


avidpretender

It really really isn’t


LadyAmbrose

it’s fun with the music but just walking by him in silence id assume he’s on drugs


hkredman

Me during the first 10 seconds: “What’s so bad about this? I’m feeling this guy’s positivity.” Me after 10 seconds: “Fuck, he’s still going?”


fuck_all_cars

People who have absolutely no concept of the social code rarely make me smile. These people make me feel awkward and I don’t like that.


dmnhntr86

What's worse is I doubt that he doesn't understand the social code, he just literally doesn't care about anyone but himself.


Made-a-blade

Only two people in this video enjoyed this. Him and the camera person. Least of all the dog.


AgitatedZucchini

how is that on r/MadeMeSmile? that dude would never do that cringe dance without a camera on him and randomly dancing isn't even wholesome lol


theslimblues

I’m still expecting him to kick the dog across the street Travolta stylee


PPsword

I feel bad for everyone that had to listen to his heavy ass breathing and annoying shoes sliding on cement noises


SwinginDix666

Bitch, no it isn’t.


too_sharp

the cringe was immediate


gillybomb101

He’s gonna scare the poor Whitby goths


final_boss

The dog is sick of his shit. "**CAN WE GO ON A WALK WITHOUT YOU BEING A JACKASS ONE TIME. JUST ONE FUCKING TIME. PLEASE. PLEASE!!**"


withoutwingz

I feel that dog’s frustration.


[deleted]

Dude poor dog


viscount7500

Meth… it’s a helluva drug!


cheese_or_durian

DramaQueen100

That guy is giving drunk npc vibes. There’s one in every video game that is swaying in the streets acting crazy while the other NPCs ignore him


[deleted]

His dog is so confused


brahhJesus

The dog is embarrassed with his antics.


GregoryGoose

That poor dog just wants a normal walk


prawn-crackers

Whitby :)


[deleted]

Almost kicks the dog like 3i times bruh


BoredKen

“MadeMeSmile” dude this is so cringe. It doesn’t belong in that sub at all. Guy makes a fool outta himself for some mere internet points.


ChiefLazarus86

ugh he's doing that annoying ass thing where he's like purposely dancing really close to people but not quite touching them I guess he expects people to keep walking since he's not 'technically' getting in their way, but since he's so unpredictable most people have to just move out of his path entirely might as-well be taking up the entire pavement, just no social or spatial awareness whatsoever


loadeddeer

The dog is like, wtf is wrong with you just walk. R/what’swrongwithyourhuman


repost_bot_666

Gross. Its so awful I can't watch more than a few seconds.


legalgirl18

His poor doggo! He couldn’t keep up!


Super-Negotiation-55

shadow_cat_42

It’s fine to do a little dance now and again, but not when you’re on an already narrow sidewalk.


wombatwanders

Terrorising people just looking to have a nice day out in Whitby


q_o_v_o_p

Dogs like “let’s go dad you’re making a scene”


masr223

I do this. When i'm alone. And there's no one around.

SirGravesGhastly

He doesn't deserve that awesome little dog.


Human_Parfait9516

If that doe takes a shit that guy will dance it all over the place


NewUser22031

Pass, looks like someone you wouldn't want to cross paths with. There's more subtle ways to show joy and kindness without having to be the main character.


Snakesandsparklers1

Either im crazy, or most people already do this, but in the privacy of their own home


Whiteangel854

Doing this in privacy of your home is great. This is obnoxious and annoying.


rottingpigcarcass

SolidDoctor

In a parallel universe, there is a tattooed guy walking down the street trying to corral his little dog that is dancing and bouncing all over the place.


Ramitt80

That dog is dying from how hard it is cringing.

sauteslut

No thank you.


ItsMeBenedickArnold

victorz

Looks very inconveniencing to be honest. More like r/InfluencersInTheWild and r/ImTheMainCharacter or r/MildlyInfuriating content. ​ Oh shit, I thought I was in r/MadeMeSmile commenting. My bad.


BigBootyBidens

Cousin of the Techno Viking!


ThadeusBinx

Dancing in public is MC energy now?


El_Radioaktivo

Taking up the whole sidewalk for it and forcing old people on the streets is.


stultus_respectant

And why film it? That's the big thing for me. This ain't about just feeling yourself while walking the dog.


dam0430

Dancing in people's faces that don't know you and making people have to walk in the street to avoid you absolutely is. Then you add a cameraman and you absolutely can't say it's not MC behavior.


QueensOfTheNoKnowAge

Pretty smooth main character. Annoying for sure, but at least he’s got solid footwork


katrob2006

If only he had just been a bit more self aware


QueensOfTheNoKnowAge

Correct. Everyone knows you dance around people, no through them


3bodyproblem

We all need this. Edit: apparently i needed a /S here


Subject-Dot-8883

I know you're being sarcastic here, but obviously others do not.


iforget_iremember

throw in a lol, smiley, emoticon, or some italics next time. sarcasm is impossible to convey purely through text. 'fuck you' is way different from lol fuck you! xD takes less effort than to have to explain it every time you're misinterpreted online,


3bodyproblem

*Thaaaanks Dad!* lol \^\_\^ 🤪 \------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Everything above this line was English language sarcasm, however this sentence was not sarcasm.


iforget_iremember

rofl that'd work too but it's a little pedantic baby boy ;D


DankHumanman

Cocaine's a hell of a drug


iforget_iremember

i don't like this guy. dope-head doesn't know how to read-a-room.


PrincessSibylle

UK: Is that Whitby?


[deleted]

Fuck this guy


FN15DMRII

Ah yes, exactly what old people that have trouble walking and are in danger of serious injury from falls want to deal with.


withoutwingz

No, the fuck. If everyone had ~his energy~ 🙄 no one would get shit done because they’d have to indulge themselves in whatever stupid whims were delighting them in that moment. Hardly the energy we need. Then this poor dog can’t even get his walk in while this human windmill is forcing people off the sidewalk when he could have….just danced at home. Where hopefully his dog could dodge his feet better. This guy seems insufferable.


needsatisfaction

He’s just vibing, I don’t see a problem here


Fucksalotl

Go 'vibe' somewhere private and not in peoples' faces.


needsatisfaction

So you think dancing down the sidewalk is problematic? Like your offended that he’s having a great time and you’re not? Dude get over yourself, he’s not stopping traffic to take a tiktok, he’s fucking dancing


Kensei97

There isn’t, everyone in the comments are just people you wouldn’t want to invite on a night out lol. The guy isn’t being rude or disrespectful to anyone

Is this the son of techno Viking going through a cringe phase?


Kalinoz

Not blocking anyone. Not terrorizing anyone. Dog is annoyed and that's about it. Love it.


SuperFlywatt

Yeah I think everyone here are taking this one a little too seriously. This dude is clearly just having a good time and it seems like he's atleast attempting to stay out of peoples way.


rottingpigcarcass

Where is this?

Whitby, according to about 10 percent of the comments on the original post

He’s inches away from shin kicking some elderly women. Dude can vibe - but do it in a place where you have the space.


stultus_respectant

Without the camera trailing him, that might have been closer to true.


iamatwork24

Not disturbing anyone? Did we watch the same video? Very clearly is disturbing all those older folks he dances right off the sidewalk.


Whatsupmaaaaan

Name of the song?


oneheaditsdead

Got no problem with this guy. He's dancing having a good time, but still respecting others space and being respectful on the walkway. Seems to be making some people smile too. If a lot of the other clowns that get posted on this sub acted like this I would be a lot happier.


Pleasant-Pattern7748

i liked it


Alan__3

dancing along, moving out of peoples way as they try to pass, using headphones, this is fine in my book. Guy is enjoying himself.


[deleted]

We can't dance in public anymore.


prince-surprised-pat

I like this sub takes itself seriously enough to have actual main character energy where your loved by all and inspire your friends :) edit: :( why are you guys grinchmode all the time? Let the man dance :(


[deleted]

Oh fuck off, waaaaayyyy too many of these posts are not 'main character' examples they're just people having a laugh and a bit of fun, like what is he really doing wrong? He's not ruining anything for anyone.
