These Gen Z Edits Are RIDICULOUS
As someone whose staff loves to amuse themselves by tormenting me with absurd videos, I'm reminded of the notorious scene in "A Clockwork Orange" where Alex's eyes are forced open to undergo aversion therapy. Today, I decide to dive into a series of outrageously edited informational videos supposedly crafted by Gen Z interns. They are a clear testament to what happens when you hand over editing responsibilities to a generation fluent in "gizmos and wackadoos" but lacking in traditional editing sensibilities.
The Museum Tour Gone Awry
The first video we delve into features a museum tour, edited by a Gen Z intern. The tour guide speaks about a criminal named Cox, and his narration is disjointed, filled with awkward pauses and off-kilter edits that might only make sense if you were heavily under the influence.
The UPS Store Fetish
Next up, we see a UPS store's promotional video. The UPS guy reveals an oddly specific fetish for the sound of packaging materials, punctuated with dramatic close-ups and unsettling sound effects. The intern seems to have missed the mark or perhaps is as baffled by the original footage as we are.
The Jewelry Salesman Stumble
Then there’s the video of a jewelry sales pitch where the salesperson fumbles with his words, and the final edit is a confusing mishmash of incomplete sentences and dead air. The obvious scapegoat here is the Gen Z intern who left the video looking like a rough collection of outtakes.
The Creepy Restaurant Invite
The fourth video steps into a restaurant where the owner—wearing shorts—invites viewers into the party room. His awkward delivery and incongruous edits make the video feel unintentionally creepy. Combined with the heavy breathing and poorly handled transitions, the resulting video is more alarming than informative.
Mission Impossible: Museum Chairs
The museum video inspection continues with a new exhibit space. The clip is an incoherent tour featuring random assortments of chairs and confusing commentary. It’s like a bizarre art piece rather than an informational video, emphasizing how flat edits cannot convey enthusiastic museum descriptions effectively.
Milwaukee County Transit Madness
We then move to a video showcasing the Milwaukee County Transit System. With multiple, jumbled intros and erratic detailing, it embodies visual confusion. According to the intern's perspective, all that's needed for a compelling presentation is an old map and snippets of unrelated footage.
It’s All About The Balloons
The finale in this cavalcade of incompetence is a store advertisement where the star highlight is—you guessed it—balloons. The desperate salesperson tries to patch together a message about their various discounts and items, but the intern's edits turn it into a nonsensical promo about balloons.
Conclusion: America, Handed Over
Through each of these hilariously failed attempts, one clear message resonates: If this is what the future holds, then America might as well brace itself for a future led by Gen Z interns, resulting in a never-ending loop of outtakes and chaos. But for now, this comedic compilation provides excellent entertainment as it foretells an era shaped by wildly erratic content creation.
