The Two-Part Takedown

  1. 1

    The Behavioral Verdict

    The creator abruptly interrupts the source footage to deliver a blunt, relatable condemnation of the subject's actions, validating the viewer's likely frustration.

  2. 2

Transcript

Worst off, you're an asshole. This is why people don't want to go to big box gyms. It's not our job to move out of your way when you're filming. Nice try. But secondly, not coincidentally, you were filming yourself doing a bicep curl when we saw your legs, bro. You should probably not best talking shit like that when you haven't hit leg day since the Reagan administration. Thanks, bud.
