The video version landed differently for me than the written testimony (it's the same person authoring both). I felt when speaking he emphasized the impact better than it came through in writing.

At least it’s not a reaction video. That those are such a widespread phenomenon both frightens and fascinates me.
Sometimes I think they are a mash-up of three things from older media

1. A laugh track

2. An inset with a sign language interpreter

3. An imaginary friendship with a low budget meta commentator, like Mystery Science Theater 3000
