Celery -- Just some bros hanging out. Probably a bit NSFW.
Yeah, i have a feeling it will get equal amounts of both.

So basically this is a video of two guys making out after mocking a third guy for being gay for ordering / eating celery?
Okay then.

The key to good physical comedy is commitment, and those boys certainly have it.

That was funny, if a bit amateurish. For instance, did you notice when the two actors broke character and started making out?

Boys making out = good. Boys making out with mouths full of celery = slightly less so.

So when the Frat Dudes In A Box art thing was going on, I wonder how many people held up "20 bucks if you make out" notes against the glass?

I have to admit, I did not see that coming. If they'd been dressed in suits and in a Congressional chamber, I would have, though.

I grew up in a redneck logging town back in the dark ages(70s and 80s) and to this day I am convinced that some of the most homophobic dudes from that time were actually gay which is why I enjoyed this more than i thought I would.

The only question I'm left with, is how do they plan on splitting the bill?
That's likely going to be confusing and disturbing for them.

In this day and age, tax and tip add 28% to the cost of the meal, which is not an insignificant amount.

It was funny when the bros made out. A little gross too, because I kept thinking, "what if some of the celery that was in bro#1's mouth gets into bro #2's mouth?"

Celery is probably about halfway down the list of food items that would gross me out if they were in somebodys mouth while making out with them. Probably like this from best to worst.
1) hard candy like cherry life savers.
2) werther's originals
...
50) celery
51) carrots
...
100) half chewed pot roast.
That's just me though

Dammit. It never even occurred to me to put half-chewed pot roast on my list. Now I have to revise.

Two things: When I was in highschool, there was a jock named Ron who'd follow me around threatening to kick my ass and calling me all sorts of ugly homophobic crap. He was huge and I was scrawny and so I never really found a way to put him in his place. It was too frightening contemplating his fists against my face.
A couple of years after highschool, my then-bf and I were out on the town and who do we bump into in the street dressed in the most outlandish Little Richard looking dragschtick? Old Ron. A giant bouffant, pumps, lipstick, Pointer Sisters era gown, the works. And hanging on the arms of an older queen who'd given me lots of peptalks when I wanted to take a knife to my wrists in my youth.
Some very interesting looks were exchanged as you can guess.
Years later and I'm dating this amazing lady. She'd grown up in Nevada and had had very little exposure to black people. Perhaps due to her whiteness she didn't really get how the power of words could really do damage to a person.
On a junket in a stolen car down the westcoast she asked if I wanted to try an experiment. I would call her any scandalous thing for white folks and she'd do the same against my blackness.
I was a bit trepidacious to say the least, but I loved her and wanted to see where this would go. Well we started and it quickly turned into her laughing and continuing and me stopping too quickly and bursting into tears. It cut just too quick.
Watching that video brought both of those moments back to mind for me and all I could feel was a bit of sickness watching it.
I get the joke and it's not too far off from being funny, but the kid in blue looks like Tom Cruise, Jr and the one he makes out with looks like he's on a mission from the realms of straightness. Not far enough away from the ugly and that kiss was not real enough for me.
But hey, everybody's a critic, right?

dantsea: yeah, that's kind of part of the point of the whole video, I think. There is really hard-core jerkatude going on for so much of that video, complete with fratboy homophobic and sexist mocking of someone sitting at the same table as them (let alone the abuse of the waitstaff)...
And then the whole thing takes this surreal left-turn and becomes something else entirely.
As I said above... I hated it at first. But then I loved it. I think if just anyone had tossed this video at me, I would have quit around the same point you did. But, it's MetaFilter, and it's empath, and those two things together helped me hang in through the hate and to discover the true joy that is this short little skit.

That was exactly as it should have been. And then, it was all a little too real. I mean, when you're not in the situation, when it gets told to you by someone who was there - it's wild and funny and totally nuts. But when you're the guy who ordered the celery?
