Yeah, y’all need to watch the video before you downvote. It’s satire and speaking to exactly why you are downvoting it. Love me some Dunks!

[–] smeg@feddit.uk 12 points 2 weeks ago

I think putting something like (Dunky) in the title would probably have helped

[–] SatyrSack@feddit.org 8 points 2 weeks ago (5 children)

It's also just not funny. I get that it's trying to be, but in my opinion, it doesn't land.

[–] async_amuro@lemm.ee 36 points 2 weeks ago

"Yeah, well, you know, that's just, like, your opinion, man."

[–] FartMaster69@lemmy.dbzer0.com 26 points 2 weeks ago

Actually it is funny, I know this to be objectively true as I am the sole judge of comedy.

[–] hitagi@ani.social 21 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

You're nitpicking and biased. I win. Bye bye.

[–] lobut 15 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

It's got a little something for everyone

[–] edgemaster72@lemmy.world 13 points 2 weeks ago

This is the first Dunkey-type comment chain on Lemmy

[–] jacksilver@lemmy.world 4 points 2 weeks ago

His videos have been pretty weak for a while. Happy that he's been branching out into publishing games though.

[–] Asetru@feddit.org 3 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

Maybe... Hear me out here...

Maybe people just don't like it and don't think it's particularly funny?

[–] Railcar8095@lemm.ee 18 points 2 weeks ago

Humor is subjective, but just in case it's good to clarify it's a joke.

With current international politics it's hard to know the difference

[–] SatyrSack@feddit.org 4 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

From what I understand of the Lemmy userbase, this type of humor generally just does not play here as much as it would at somewhere like Reddit.

[–] Gradually_Adjusting@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago

The people who enjoyed the joke just upvote and move on. But yes, we do have a lot of folks who do not embrace obliquity.

lol at the downvotes. It's a Dunky video. He's taking the piss.

[–] Agent_Karyo@lemmy.world 10 points 2 weeks ago

Dunky video

What if you don't know who Dunky is and you didn't find the video funny (seems pretty low effort).

[–] lobut 3 points 2 weeks ago

I loved the video. It's very obviously taking the piss but I think this has been a sore spot to many Lemmy users that the humour isn't gonna hit.

[–] Scipitie@lemmy.dbzer0.com -1 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

It's cheap and uninteresting clickbait.

Why do you assume that the downvotes are "I don't understand this" instead of "this is spammy bullshit"?

[–] ms_lane@lemmy.world -3 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (1 children)

Clickbait titles deserves downvotes, even if it's Dunkey and the video is funny.

[–] BuboScandiacus@mander.xyz 1 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Wait until you learn about pardody

[–] RedditRefugee69@lemmynsfw.com 3 points 2 weeks ago

I'm starting to think that proposal may not have been modest after all.

[–] ImplyingImplications 44 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (1 children)

remember this video game is Open World. That means we must open our wallets and pay all the money in the world.

Honestly surprised this hasn't be used by a game studio yet.

MMOs charge indefinitely.
