May the cringe be with you.(￣^￣)ゞ

We all know you made this to justify fanatically watching 'the bachelor'

Awesome production! Thanks!

One way to really get a handle on how awful this manipulation is is to watch similar shows in a language you don't understand. The music is so much more obvious in its purpose, and annoying in its execution, because it's all you can understand, and it makes you far more aware of what it's doing when you go back to shows in your own language. Most mainstream commercial TV is pretty hard to take at this point.

@@joking6096 yeah it's pretty horrible subtitles. I hope all his videos aren't like this

@@Blacktronics you'd better believe it was severe abuse

I bet Vil is a good person as are most individuals who collude to make the most egregious productions. People I've met briefly like Ryan Seacrest and Rush Limbaugh's producer Kit Carson are immediately personable and not conspiratorial or evil in any way, while some I know better like Alex Jones are predictably complex. Its when the pressure is on that a production, like a corporation or a street mob, can turn dark and vile.

Yea

Never let facts stand in the way of a good story.

I'm not saying some performers can't act fake but performers or anyone can still be shy. It's like struggling with depression or anxiety. Doesn't mean they can't work or do life. Some people stereotype mentally ill people can't too. Have you seen Johnny Depp interviews? He says he's shy. By the way he acts, I think he kinda is. There's some performers who live very private lives. They don't do interviews or have photos of them online. Cause they like being private, or are shy or introverts. Some artists just like art, not performing or dealing with people. Some performers have anxiety cause of being bullied by the public or the industry and the public putting very high standards on them. Some performers quit cause they can't handle it or personal problems. Like Mars Argo. She's a singer who suddenly disappeared and stopped performing. There was a uproar with people asking where she was.

The lady in question recently even beat up supermarket employees for daring to tell her son to stop vaping in the store. Its been all over the Dutch news, career probably ruined

@@jamzam9807 See, that is exactly wrong. It's not about the animals in the documentary, it's about how the animals make *you* feel. It's not about the action on screen but how it relates to the generic experience everyone has heard.

It’s kind of context and direction based though. If you watch a documentary about zebras then the zebra being hunted brings on the scary music. If you watch one about lions then you get the triumphant music when the lion gets the zebra.

Good eye!

Ah yes, people mistaking "being a bitch" with being a leader.

You're supposed to "be a bitch" when it comes to surviving in an industry, not when it comes to raising talent.

When people like this say they're doing this for their own good; they're lying. It's just a convenient way for them to vent stress and make you feel responsible for it.

@@elooflskhu5358 Oh, believe me, some of those people do have families. What you’re describing is also how a lot of abusive parents are. They may perceive themselves or be perceived by others as strict, but there really are no rules, just excuses to be mean that are enforced whenever they feel like it.

@@meowtherainbowx4163 True; I meant that the example in which they take out their stress on their coworkers or subordinates is exclusive to those without families. To those with families, they take it out on their family members instead, so that they can maintain a pristine reputation in the workplace. Usually, they have vastly inflated egos that aren't suited to their actual station in life, while simultaneously (and paradoxically) being cowardly rats, so whenever they encounter something demeaning or degrading in the workplace (boss treating them like shit, coworkers gossiping, etc.), they suck it up, lick it off the floor, hold it in until they get home, and then spit it out onto the one person who's powerless to impact their work life; their child. That way, they can feel powerful without ever having to put themselves at risk. Source: personal experience.

Glad you liked it 😊 I think the sound/music choices of nature documentaries vary massively depending on the publisher. To be very simplistic: National Geographic are generally ‘cinematic’. They like to use music you’d hear in movies. BBC are broadly more creative and focused on education. The lines are very blurred though.

I actually find the animal ones quite sad... The tone they set can really affect the way humans view animals, and even take them out of the context that they're in. Jaws, while a horror movie, set the tone for how sharks are depicted in media and people's nightmares as well, and you can see that nature documentaries also use music similar to the jaws theme -- the suspense of watching a predator prey IS a real thing, but it connects the fictional depiction of the shark in jaws with a depiction that is presented and thought of as a more realistic medium. Many docus however, don't mention how rare it is actually for sharks to attack humans, so this connection the music creates between the two ends up with some people not being able to let go of the shark = evil human-killers stereotype and it actively harms sharks in real life, cause humans react to them violently. So while the music can make the documentaries more engaging for the viewer, I think there's also something to be said about the way they create or enforce stereotypes that may affect animal populations as people irrationally react to them. Not claiming that sound design in documentaries is THE driving factor in it all, and surely many people will understand that predators catching prey is just part of the circle of life, though.

Yeah, in Poland we had a fucking vegetable oil ad that used some sort of folk song. I don't even know what it's called, when I hear it I just think "Oh yeah Kujawski vegetable oil" My music teacher in primary school complained a lot about it.

I had this happen with a song in Minecraft written for Minecraft. One of the youtubers i watched used it as his outro music for a series and i didn't realize the song was ingame until like 20-40 episodes had gone by of me associating this song as outro music and it felt like such insane cognitive dissonance to hear it in any other context. (The song was Otherside and its a music disc you have to actively find and play) I also feel like this effect is similar to how different jingles get stuck in your head so thoroughly. I have several radio add from kindergarten locked in my brain that i will forget after i forget my own name.

Both US and UK episodes claim to help the restaurant owners, but only the UK episodes actually carry that emotion. Although it's not only the music and editing, albeit it that they play a major part here. Every single argument that probably was resolved in less than two minutes gets exaggerated with music and editing, the story telling and narration being complicit.

I feel that Kitchen Nightmares USA to the UK version is like fast food is to a proper restaurant meal.

Yeah the UK kitchen nightmares is practically ASMR compared to the US version

You know I've never thought about it that way but it explains why my childhood memories of evenings at home where my aunt or granmother would watch reality tv shows has such a discomforting element of sensory overload

As a brit I have noticed that US documentaries and reality TV is so hard to watch in general compared to UK ones. The ultra-dramatic nature of American docs and the sound effects and voices is just too much! UK television doesnt have this problem so much. The dystopian view of TV dumbing people down etc feels very real when watching American docs

I thought I was the only one that saw the link between my abusive narcissistic stepmom and scripted reality/soap opera TV programs. Always had a bad taste in my mouth whenever I kept seeing the same dramatic story rehashed and dramatized to feed into biases.

I'm here too. A middle-aged man. My mother is also totally into reality TV and contest shows. A female friend of mine once said that my mother seems to hallucinate me and interact with that hallucination. But the other alternative is that she scripts and directs me like one of those one-dimensional characters. I'm a super talented, super intelligent, super fragile and super lazy character who could accomplish anything and impress everybody but always chooses to do nothing. I must choose between my incredible unused superpowers or deal with a totally unlived life in actual reality. No wonder I end up doing nothing.

​@@mannperson324 Because abusers want puppets, not humans. They seem to enjoy reality TV because the people portrayed in these shows are simple, one-dimensional, easy to understand characters.

i was honestly kindof disturbed. this episode of tantacrul is so Black Mirror it's unreal, and the worst part is sad/happy is probably definitely going to be pitched to an entrepreneur at some point.

Just look at your average TikTok it’s the sad/happy thing but unironically

look up “21st century humor” on youtube. it’s basically that

That whole section! "I'm not willing to change" _conflict music_ "I wish he'd change" _sad music_ "Are you willing to change?" _tension music_ "Yes I'll change" _happy music_

It could be joked: “In Soviet Russia music changes you” but here we are. Also, maybe what we’re actually witnessing are the thousand lost souls of composers and editors screaming towards us in desperation to end this madness.

Good point, although if a show/movie is doing its music right then each character will have a theme or motif and this should contain the archetype. So the main villain's motif will sound evil or ominous, and thr protagonists may be more optimistic or possibly even heroic. And this lets you elevate the work by incorporating characters' themes/motifs into as many scenes as relvant and then the audience can geek out over the tiny details of related themes or a character's motif in a scene they aren't in but are still related too. Tldr, for fictional characters the use of archetype themes and musical cues to separate them can be amazing, for real people its dehumanizing.

⁠@@jasonreed7522and the switch to eastern music for that one weird looking fish is just downright hilarious. The use of that archetype is slightly problematic as it transforms foreign music itself into a novelty. And most of all, the music totally didn’t fit that scene and it was hilarious

​@@regularnick Oh no, I'm not complaining about the "animals have emotions" part. It's the humanization I have a problem with. Erasing the behaviors and experiences of animals and insisting that they're feeling something the viewer will find more relatable. Common irl example is people forcing animals to swim because they find it fun and want the animal to experience it, even though the animal is upset or harmed by it.

I feel like BBC documentaries are pretty good about this sort of thing. Presenting the animals as they are, and describing their behaviours as they are, with minimal intrusive editing to "spice things up". Anything with David Attenborough presenting is an especially safe bet, in that regard.

Animals do absolutely feel emotions and are a lot *more* humanlike than we usually imagine but yeah. I've heard some nature documentaries head out with the script already written and just find footage to match with it

Filming a narative with just one wild animal is practically impossible. You film as much footage of these animals as you can (bigger budgets means more oppotunities generally) then splice together what makes a realistic compelling story, a probable example of many animals lives. Wild animals don't redo a shot if the cameraman slips up or the lens got dirty. They must do what they can with what they've got. Filming is very prone to Murphy's law: What can go wrong, will.

Yeah honestly. I've never met the guy of course, but the personality he conveys in shows like Kitchen Nightmares is inaccurate to his whole being. He's being as "reduced" as any of the restauranteurs he interacts with. Sure, he's a passionate man with feelings boiling on the surface, and sure he's a bit more partial to cussing than the average person, but those are parts of a greater whole.

IHE (I hate everything) made a video about it several years ago that if you have time to burn and are *really* interested about this you can watch. I don't remember the name, it's been a long time.

I, for one, welcome our AI Reality TV overlords.

@@ComputersVirtualMachinesAndMor Hey, I actually found that video (from 2015, which is basically prehistoric times in internet years) and watched it. Thanks for the recommendation!

I've just rewatched again and bwaaaaaa lol!!

So the whole trouble of killing and dying. And all people get to take away from it is either one of two canned and manufactured emotions.

I know what you mean! A few years ago I started to feel really disturbed by reality TV and true crime shows because my housemates watched them constantly, and something about it just felt so inhumane and off. It really stood out to me when I heard the incriminating, dark music drop over footage of teens or young adults talking about their mental illness or struggles with addiction and it just felt like these shows were trying to mock them and turn really serious things in people's lives into a joke. In a related vein I feel increasingly uncomfortable with how many movies and TV shows are made mythologizing the lives of people who aren't even dead yet. Why is an entire drama being made about Elizabeth Holmes? It's creepy if you ask me. I don't know if we should be dramatizing the lives of real people whatsoever, unless they died at least a century ago and even that is controversial.

Honestly Unsloved makes some pretty good musical choices. They feel 'respectful' to me too. Like there are some crime shows where I'm like "OK a real life person has DIED we don't need al this horror movie music."

@@ThePixelPolygon I definitely didn't replay that part at least five times in a row nor did I screenshot that picture of him with the thumbs up....

@@scusachannel1682 And you definitely didn't apply radial zoom blur on it and make the result your desktop wallpaper.

It's a promo for a new show, "Men standing around in woods wearing scarves, staring into the distance."
