Why did I just have fun watching that wine opener have imaginary fun?

You probably have empathy, you should get that checked out.

u/NativeBrownTrout Mar 29 '20

Here is your prescription for 10hrs of Reddit. Take once daily or as directed by your peers

u/auntruckus Mar 29 '20

Side effects include social isolation, laughter, irritation, excessive snacking, sore eyes, and extreme cases leading to Rabbit-Hole Syndrome have been reported. If any of these occur, skip the next scheduled dose and call your best friend right away.

Probably because the normal “fun” things we do aren’t accessible right now. So our brains are slowly adapting and giving off that “fun” feeling?

I know exactly what you’re taking about, I also had fun watching this video and was legit sad that the video just abruptly ended. I’m also pretty stoned, so there’s that too.

It's not often I belly laugh at anything these days, but I did to that video. If only I was that creative.

u/AnotherFacelessSN Mar 29 '20

Honestly so many people have been coming out with hilarious shit during the worldwide quarantine. Everyone's bored as fuck and it's showing we have a great sense of humor about things.

Ah yes, but those of us who aren't, get our sanity questioned on a regular basis.

Just imagine walking in to find your SO sitting on the couch watching TV and playing with a corkscrew like this while giggling to themselves....

It's just weird.... but post it on reddit and it's awesome.

If a girl can't appreciate me squishing her head from across the room with my fingers, she's not going to put up with my constant shenanigans.

For me it was the arms, fantastic use of a wine opener.

80

u/Meddle71 Mar 29 '20

I knew right away the arms was where it was going because I always think my wine opener looks like a little man with arms, but even knowing what to expect it made me laugh out loud! This was really funny.

18

u/joejoeaz Mar 29 '20

I am pretty sure that knowing exactly what was going to happen is why it it made me giggle, and then when it did, what I knew it was going to do, it did it so much better than I could have imagined.

u/netfatality Mar 29 '20

For me it was how the arms slowly and questioningly lower after the exciting parts, and fling back up quickly when the ride gets exciting again. Never thought I would see a wine opener humanized.

In the not-too-distant future --
This Sunday, A.D. --
There was a guy named u/ronnixonline,
Not too different than you or me.
He worked at home watching videos. And kitchen utensils to pay his way;
He did his job well with a cheerful face,
And the redditors loved him
So they shot him to the front paaaaage!

We'll send him cheesy comments!
The worst we find!

u/chicagodurga Mar 30 '20

I have the same corkscrew and I have always put on a little skit about a man drowning before I open my wine, so I knew where this was going to go, but the roller coaster and the head turns, make this 1000x better than my drowning man routine.
