| - Anthony: I'm so bored... I know! I'm gonna post a pointless status update on Facebook! Ian: Stop! Ian: Hi. If you're watching this video, it's likely that someone has sent this to you for a very specific reason. You see, Facebook is a great way to let your friends and family know what's going on in your life. [Someone off-screen helps Ian put a sweater on.] But sometimes, you just need to shut the f*** up! Ian: Ladies, please stop posting vague status updates that are obviously directed at one person, [someone helps Ian put a blue coat on] and yet are somehow supposed to solicit our sympathy and giveaf***ness. Narrator: Giveaf***ness: The act of giving a f*** over a certain subject. Ian: Here's a few examples of these posts. Chrissa: [typing] Wow thanks A LOT for that thing you did. I'm NEVER talking to you again!!! [runs off] Nyeh, I'm a whiny bitch! Ian: Giveaf***ness level: zero. Now how about this one? Arielle: [typing] Brad told me all about that thing you did at summer camp. WOW skank much? Ian: That's great that whoever you're talking about did something at someplace [puts a towel on Anthony] and that this Brad guy told you about it. But honestly, no one on your friends list gives a f***! Oh, but this one's my favorite! Jessica: [typing] NEVER AGAIN... Ian: If you still aren't following where I'm getting at, here's a pie chart representing girls' status updates on my feed. [points to a blue section] This tiny sliver represents how often I give a f*** about a girl's status update. But girls aren't the only ones that should shut the f*** up. Guys should also know when to STFU. Ian: Guys, perhaps before you post, take a step back. [starts gathering spaghetti with a fork] Ask yourself, "Is this something that I really wanna be telling everyone?" Or rather, [eats spaghetti] imagine you're sitting in front of your mom, and you're telling her what you're about to post. Here's an example using a real post someone made. Victor: [monotone] So I woke up super-glued to the toilet seat. And the toilet was filled with poop. I mean FILLED, like 10 people just decided not to flush. I started gagging so I flushed the toilet... and then it started overflowing with me still glued to the seat. So there I was, glued to the toilet and being hit with wave after wave of other people's poop. Ian: Okay, never mind, that was pretty awesome. Guys, keep posting that stuff! But ladies, please... SHUT THE F*** UP!
