    Mind to elaborate on your one line, low effort insult? Maybe with any kind of argument?

      Sure! What she’s saying induces a form of second-hand embarrassment colloquailly known as “cringe”. She also keeps saying it over and over again as the listener recoils deeper into their seating and gradually turns into a raisin.

      I agree with her point but that does not mean that it isn’t unbelievably cringe. I also shared the video with many of my friends from a variety of backgrounds and they all agreed that it was indeed a level of cringe they had rarely witnessed.

        A lot of text and still not a single word about what exactly that she is saying that makes it cringe for you.

          You need that pointed out to you? The video game references. The video game references are what make it cringe. So delectably cringe that I saved the video on my computer into what is called a cringe compilation.

        I bet a majority of the people in the house understood the majority of her gaming quotes, therefore proving that games go beyond the screen but become part of everyday lexicon. And companies removing games removes culture.

          The chairwoman literally says that she didn’t understand any of it, which makes it all the funnier. But the funniest thing by far is the next speaker shaking his head when the camera cuts to him (though that is probably a result of the uploader cutting the video down).
