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.

Fucks sake, this thread has made me watch a whole load of dads playing Fortnite 😂

Don’t think I found the Ops DH. They were all terrible and cringey though!

If he was the one chewing gum as he spoke then please punch him in the tit for me.

My DH keeps threatening to do unboxing YouTube videos. 😱😬

HA! Yes, RaspberryRipple it is aimed at youngsters. Him and DS (who is 8) get into rows over who's playing and how to play. He showed DS the video. DS wasn't impressed.
OvO he wasn't chewing gum, he was the Scottish one. That's all I'll say.
DS used to love watching those silly videos of people opening toys, it was our go to 'immediately quiet' trick. Watching YouTube makes me certain the world has gone crazy.

Not the one doing a fake Scottish accent that offended my every Scottish nerve?

That’ll be so funny if it was. 😂😂😂. Sorry, 2 of the 4 views were me. 😂

No, it was a real Scottish accent, but now I'm worried that he was being so weird that you thought his accent was fake. Because he was definitely being weird and he doesn't usually speak like that. Gawd, I'm cringing even more now.

God! This made me laugh. Think he should leave FB to the kids...

And YouTube!

Noooooo
I read it as your DS and believe me they are cringey enough but your DH!!! Aargh

It okay, Foof, I have a weird Scottish husband too. It’s a cross we have to bear.

Sounds very strange. Going back to page 1, is there something odd or controversial about flossing? I do it.

I think he'd have a lot in common with my 11yo son. And that's not necessarily a good thing!

Oh god no! I’m cringing with you. He’s gonna be a sensation 🙈
