If life was like facebook...

Idiots of Ants are a UK based comedy troupe. These particular ones are based on the premise of Facebook-style interaction in the real world. Enjoy the LOL's.





It's funny to watch, as obviously Facebook communication is stilted and strange when done in person. The hundred or so comments added since the video was uploaded four days ago are quick to crow about how it

This is great, now I can send this to my friends when they ask why I'm not on Facebook.


brilliant.. i dont understand why anyone would want the world to see what the frick they are doing...frikin hate facebook...


Great...that's why a Removed my account from Facebook lol


HA thats so funny i guess its realy like that when u think about it'



Not that YouTube comment streams are really worth serious response, but it seems rather self-evident that different modes of communication will not be transferable.

I would love to do a parody video of these parody videos with older and more accepted communication forms. I'm thinking:

  • a fax party

  • two people meeting on the street and talking in long form letter

  • a morse code date


Older, but in a similar vein, we have the Comment Stream business meeting, which is pretty lol'sy...



... and the all-time greatest 'internet in real life' video ever - Cracked's Internet Party- what happens when google's parents go out of town
