Everything Kiek thought while watching Enzo Knol's ‘breakup vlog’...
I don't know under which rock I've been for the past five days, but I just now saw Enzo Knol's ‘breakup vlog’. More than three million (good grief, that's a lot by the way) have watched it by now. And probably also given their opinion. But hey, if you share everything as the biggest vlogger in the Netherlands, then also an awkward painful crying video in which you and your girl (well, ex-girlfriend) say that you are breaking up, right? I sat down for this. Ten minutes of love drama right in your face. And this is roughly what I thought.
1. Now I have to honestly say: I don't watch Enzo Knol. I know that the man is huge on YouTube, the biggest even, precisely because of sharing everything. But this video gives me the creeps. Spots on my neck. A kind of allergic reaction.
2. I would have liked to share the footage from the built-in camera in my laptop with you, because my face probably looks questionable.
3. Dee, you cry fantastically pretty. When I cry, I make the face of Sméagol from Lord of the Rings who has to sneeze. You don't. Respect for that.
4. WHY DOES SHE HAVE SUCH A BEAUTIFUL SET OF TEETH? Honestly, I'm incredibly distracted by those straight white teeth. Okay Kiek, focus! Back to the video.
5. I see a broken girl trying to pull herself together for the views, while this goes against all nature. I see a guy who is worried about the dishwasher. Oelewapper.
6. The sad thing about it all? In this share-your-crap culture, we can hardly even choose what we share, we HAVE to share everything. So also breakup videos of two grown adults. The
state of us is sad, peers. Sad.
7. WHAT IS HAPPENING NOW? She seriously asks with that red nose for a thumbs up, while sobbing and stuttering? ‘Don't forget to subscribe?’ I can't handle this. I'm out. What. A. Video.
Dear Enzo Knol, do me a favor. Tell me it's a joke. TELL me it's a stunt in collaboration with Kleenex tissues. God, that would be brilliant. My advice? Sometimes taking a nice offline break together is not such a bad idea. The time is now.
Big. Fat. Peace.
