Mega64 Vault: Influencer (Deleted Sketch) 2017 (Patreon)

Influencer (Deleted Sketch) (2017) - Mega64 Vault

In early 2017, when fidget spinners were truly blowing up, our plan was to quickly do a video about them. When we looked them up online, we saw a young "influencer" on Instagram- a seemingly innocent kid- just posting simple videos of him spinning. The comments on the video were absolutely atrocious and way too over the top for what the video was. Our idea was... why don't we just legitimately post just a clip of us spinning our fidgets with those exact same unaltered comments next to then? Surely reality could be even funnier than fiction, right? Well, wrong. We watched the clip and it just felt too weird to upload to our main channel on its own. So, the last-second decision was made to add an entirely new front section to the video, where three men are interviewed about a digital influencer. This would set up a huge climax in which... we just play the fidget spinner segment we already made. Once it was edited all together, it was decided that this sketch wasn't really coming together, and rather than continuing to polish the turd we just moved on. But we must re-emphasize... the comments on the Instagram were ALL 100% REAL and not written by us (except for two we absolutely had to replace).
