i think i'm missing something here
this video's listed as comedy on youtube, but i didn't see any jokes, and there wasn't a punchline
What the fuck was that supposed to be?
I can't tell if it's actually taking itself seriously or not.
After 4 minutes I gave up. I get it, SJWs etc etc.
It would be better if the characters were given cards that were the 'opposite' of their real selves. So the black lady is given a 'white conservative male' card and the two white guys were given minority cards, but they start behaving in ways that are stereotypical of whatever group they are assigned to. That way it would've been more clear how the social dynamics make people behave in the way they do.
I do like how there's conflict between the 'SJW' character and the black woman character, "I can speak for myself, etc."
Also, the Jewish inheritance card.
Did you notice how the characters were physically arranged left to right based on their political stances? The 'SJW' character is on the far left, the black woman is right of her, the dealer is in the middle and the two men are both on the right and far-right respectively. That's pretty clever.
Okay guys come on, it was pretty funny for a bunch of amateur college kids.
That took so many shots at both sides, it left me confused, but in a way I liked. I don't think self-awareness necessarily counts as neutrality when it comes to satirical(?) content like this, but after two runs through I have absolutely no idea which side they're trying to favor exactly so I'm gonna call it interesting at best and conflicting at worst.
But goddamn, they didn't have to be so heavyhanded with some points. Yeah, they covered a lot for both sides, but they just couldn't finish a jab without making sure it was explained by the reaction of every character. Like, know when to move on with it, yeah?
The point of the video isn't necessarily about how one side is evil or whatever, it's that both sides (the left and the right, who are physically to the left and the right of the dealer) are bringing each other down due to pettiness.

glad i wasnt the only one who got this
the punchline is that no matter which side you're sitting on, you're going to feel like you're being broadsided by threats to your existence.
If the acting was a little bit better and it made its points a bit more prevalent then maybe it'd be a better video.
Otherwise it felt like people were overacting, mainly the female actress on the far left and male on the far right.
I thought it was hilarious that after the Trump card was played, the pansexual black [B]muslim[/B] transgender he/she was moved down to the bottom.
Trump fixed all of the social injustice in the end. Trump card OP. Valve pls nerf.
That was deep on several levels
The silent hill 2 background music made it weird. There was so much allegory it felt like a new yorker cartoon. 2/10
Ughhhh the chick on the left, her face pisses me off so much, idk why.
GAH

Doubt it
[QUOTE=proboardslol;50210619]Doubt it[/QUOTE]
then why did you say it ?
[QUOTE]Why should the aim of the game be to simply accumulate wealth? There are far more important things we should be playing for, like preaching tolerance or discovering yourself sexually.

Shit, no wonder you're in lower management

I mean it sounds like the background music in silent hill cutscenes.

yeah idk this was laid on waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too thick for my taste. if they had actually jumbled up the cards given rather than assigning them to physically matching players it could've conveyed kind of a more thought provoking message (as previously stated) but this was so hamfisted I can barely tell if it's a parody or serious or what
