You know the ones I mean - like where someone uses those robotic text-to-speech voices to narrate the most mundane situations or say something completely unhinged? My roommate watches them constantly and I genuinely don't get why they're entertaining. Is it just absurdist humor or am I missing something about the appeal?
The disconnect between the deadpan robotic voice and whatever ridiculous situation or unhinged statement it's delivering hits different - there's something inherently funny about that clash of tone, plus the videos often stack absurdist humor on top of relatable stuff so you're not sure whether to laugh at the situation itself or the sheer randomness of how it's being presented. It's partly generational too; that style of humor just resonates with people who grew up with internet culture where the weirder and more detached something is, the funnier it lands.
