I'm Cringing

[Fooferella]

I'm in the lounge at the table with headphones on doing uni work and DH starts seemingly talking to himself. No, he's making a YouTube video of his latest conquest on Fortnite and I can hear him over music.

First let me confess that I think most YouTubers are self-absorbed wankbombs, at least to some degree.
He is making my skin crawl with his cringy bonhommie and heartiness "Hey guys, I'm just a dad who isn't very good at this game but if I can do it, maybe you can too!" "So you see how I... technical game chat, humble brag blah blah blah" "Then I humble brag humble brag and humble bragged some more"
"Thanks everyone, if you liked this video like or subscribe"
WTF!!
Sorry, I obviously can't say anything to him because he looks so pleased with himself having made his first YouTube video but I had to tell someone and you, Mumsnet, are closest to hand.

Oh dear. Has he started flossing yet?

bless him.

😂😂 Bless!

I cringed just reading that. Must have been cringier in person.

i would end up pissing myself laughing. you must watch it and check out his reaction when he sees his view count go up.

I'm cringing for you

What are his video comments like?

Link to the video?

Oh I misread it first time that you were in a uni lounge (I was thinking 6th form common room type) but your husband?!

Please, please link to the video so we can all leave helpful comments

Post his video on Facebook as well. It can be enjoyed by all the family :)

I can't post it because his username is too outing.
He made me watch the video and looked like an eager puppy when he asked what I thought about it. I couldn't lie, I told him it was a bit cringey and he was aghast at that. He thinks kids will be really inspired by him.

It's been over 2 hours, he hasn't had one hit.

Bless.

Ltb 😬

Oh dear. This would right put me off my DH.

That is so sweet! I can just imagine him eagerly monitoring his Very Own YouTube Channel as he waits for the thumbs ups to come flooding in.

Jeez, how old is he? I’m just imagining my husband doing that

Aww put your phone on silent and secretly play it a few times so he doesn't feel like a total toolbag.

Oh, oh dear... Yes that is VERY cringey. My sympathies to you.

I afraid I could never shag him again, OP. Your opinion of Youtubers is entirely correct.

I don’t think I could sleep with him again.

If I watch his video he'll think that he's on to a winner and he'll make more! Still no hits today so if it please god, please dies a slow death he might realise he is not the inspirational gamer he thought.

G'wan.... share it!

oh we need to see it!

I thought Fortnight was a game aimed at kids?!
