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!

[–] [email protected] 12 points 3 weeks ago

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

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

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

[–] [email protected] 25 points 3 weeks ago

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

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

It's got a little something for everyone

This is the first Dunkey-type comment chain on Lemmy

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

Maybe... Hear me out here...

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

[–] [email protected] 17 points 3 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

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 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.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 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.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 3 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).

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 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.

[–] [email protected] -1 points 3 weeks ago

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"?

[–] [email protected] -3 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago) (1 children)

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

Wait until you learn about pardody

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.
