#2: YouTube UGC


Slap Chop

I chose the video "Jamacian Slap Chop."  It is a parody of the original Slap Shop commercial.  It is the original footage with a Jamacian man speaking over the video and making funny comments.  This video could be viewed as both effective and ineffective to others, but mostly I would say adults that are straight forward and have no sense of humor would consider this ineffective.  When I first saw this video, I was laughing like crazy.  The Jamacian guy makes many funny remarks although some are obscene, they are none the less quite funny to me.  If companies such as AT&T took over the internet and charged individuals another monthly fee, user generated content could possibly be on the road to extinction; the only people able to afford internet would be the millionaires and big businesses.

Enjoy the video! :-)

  1. Good video choice, totally understandable about being the only person that found it funny. It happens to everyone. That's one good thing about user generated videos out of all the viewers there will always been one person who finds it fun of like it. The statement about the businesses is so true, this tool that people have grown acustom too might be taken Away from companies and it wouldnt be the same.
