Okay. Now... if that video had been one guy, alone, humping an ottoman, I'd be willing to let that go unnoticed. There's always one guy willing to do anything for a viral video. But... this is like five guys. Guys who, at some point, had a conversation. A suggestion was floated. A suggestion for a video, in which they, for completely non-comedy reasons, all get together and, over music, hump an ottoman.
The other four heard that suggestion, considered it, agreed to it, arranged a time, arrived in costume, choreographed it, presumably practiced it, brought it up on their monitor to edit and add the graphics, approved of it, and uploaded it for a billion internet users to see.
It's those last two steps that get me. Seeing the video playing out, on the screen, stepping outside yourself and seeing it as the world will see it... there was ample opportunity there to throw on the brakes. "Wait, guys... is that what we were doin'? Ya know, 'cause it kinda had a different feel to it at the time. Now, don't take this the wrong way, we all respect each other's work... but I'm not sure this comes off on screen the way we all envisioned it."
