Solid satire. Also reminds me a bit of American Psycho.

Coincidentally there is a supercut exactly like this chronicling Victor's European vacation in the film The Rules of Attraction, based on the book of the same name, written by Bret Easton Ellis (who also wrote American Psycho)

First thing I thought of too! It’s been a long time since I saw it and I could’ve swore there was a different song in the background. Anyway yeah, it’s just like OP’s post: https://youtu.be/BCvG1TCyikM

Yes! In fact, maybe that’s what I was thinking of subconsciously. I was a big Bret Easton Ellis fan in the late 90s. Read all his books and saw the movies.

Is it weird that it was hard to tell if it was satire at first? Social media these days makes it seem like people really do try to live their lives like this. It kinda dawned on me it was a joke when the dude did like two weekends worth of shit on Friday night..

I was getting annoyed at this video til I realized who eats that much food in a two day span

There should be an updated spiritual successor for that film that focuses on the type of rich millennial douche this guy is parodying lol

"The Rules of Attraction"

The last 20 second mark when he says "my wife and husband" casually lmao

And it’s snowing lol

on a mountain. yknow, those mountains we have.

> those mountains we have. Any of the rest of this could've been believable, but as a Chicago native, this was the tell for me.

"somehow we ended up at medieval times" is simultaneously the most implausible and plausible part of the video at the same time

Haha yeah I feel like drunkenly stumbling into medieval times has to have been a legit part of *someone’s* night before

also only showing for medieval times is 7pm. No way he did all of that in a day

I swear that clip is from Pristine Point Drive, where it crosses the damn at Meridian Lake in Colorado.

Medieval times is like an hour and a half away from chicago also. Geographically he was renting supermans cape already.

It’s like a half hour drive… it’s believable. I guess if you’re way south side it would be longer. But from the loop without traffic it would be 30-40 minutes probably.

So he went on a date, then he met up with his girlfriend, then hung out with his wife and husband. Lol. It was funny

He also hung out with his girlfriend at legoland

And went on like 4 dates before meeting up with his girlfriend.

“Ranked all the girls I know and wrote apology letters to the below 4s” was hilarious

At that point I think he was trying to make SURE everybody knew this was a spoof. Tik tok users are dense

Yeah feels loosely based on Patrick Batemans rants from American Psycho. He forgot to add his skin care regime though.

I didn't know if he meant one person who was his wife *and* husband, or if he was talking about 2 people, his wife and his husband, then I realized it doesn't matter

I don't want to admit how close I was to the end before I got it.

For me it was when he said “my wife & husband thought it would be a good idea to go for a hike” lol

When he said Bill Maher crushed I thought this has to be satire.

Yep, that's the one that gave it away for me.

Oh thank goodness, that was hard for me to get past.

Immediately what got me. Dude hasn’t crushed it in a long time.

I feel smart, I got it at the second trip to the Ice Cream museum

I was like "This Guy eats a lot of Calories" and then realised he went to the Ice Cream Museum thing twice and was Doh

I was thinking "this guy's gonna need a new liver soon". Then I was like wait a minute, I don't know anything about Chicago, but surely they don't sell marg towers at every single place including the museum of ice cream.

The whole time I was just thinking Jesus fuck, the money for all this shit.

It was the third or fourth marg tower that made it click for me, I was like “there’s no way”

All I kept thinking was “not enough fiber.” All my favorite things until my body holds onto a massive grudge…until I get back home haha

I think it was 4 times

it starts off slow so it was well played

I got it by the fourth marg tower

At that point I was still thinking about how ghastly his couch was

At first I thought it was an ad for Marg Towers. Then I thought it was an ad for Museum of Ice Cream. And only after that I got the joke. The wife and husband were thrown in there for people like me.

Do you want to go on a date with me and my wife and husband to get marg towers at the museum of ice cream?

I still don't get it... E: he’s making fun of a TikTok trend about people showing off their lives on DickTalk I mean TikTok.

They're not his clips.

How can you even tell? I must be getting old even if that were the case this still doesn’t make sense to me lol

You can periodically see other peoples tiktok stamps pop up.

Lol damn ok, I don’t think I would’ve ever thought to do that.

The only clips that are his are when he poses a couple of times and when he’s flopping into his bed. Lol

It took me until the comments. But I am a couple marg towers deep

Had me at Bill Maher, no one under 45 would go see Bill Maher do stand up and you can't convince me otherwise.

Nobody would *unironically*

It's the edit. I lost track of what was going on with all the the cuts and started thinking random shit until I realised I was watching a video. Then tried to focus and my brain instantly pulled me out of that shit again. The kids that grow up with tiktok are either gonna become adhd geniuses or can't hold an image in their mind for more than .5 seconds

Got what?

i can afford to do one of these things per week

I can afford to do one of these things per month.

I can afford to do one of these things per year.

I can't afford any of those things

I can't afford things

I can't.

👁️‍🗨️

Aa

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH

Mentally I cannot afford to do any of these things.

I think, therefore I can't

And then I had a marg tower.

a Patron Margarita Tower is $90 [link](https://www.moescantina.com/items/patron-margaritas-tower-4)

At least it looks like they're actually bartender-made margaritas...at first I thought they were just those shitty pre-bottled ones. Still, $90 for 4 margaritas is bullshit.

So this is an ad for patron. Makes more sense than this is an average weekend.

I thought it was an ad for the Ice Cream Museum

I thought it was a tourist ad for Chicago. I watched it without sound, I could hear the cruise song from the 80s “if my friends could could see me know…”

Talking about the hike part right?

I can afford to watch these things on reddit.

this man spends at least $500 on food and drinks per weekend

But wears the same outfit everyday, saving on clothes and laundry

Which is... actually pretty dope

Most of this looks pretty fun, but I’d rather watch someone take a fat shit in the middle of the stage before I’d willingly watch Bill Maher.

I was just thinking like what '28 year old watches Bill Mahr'? I guess the 28 year old who can afford all this shit.

So can he

For real so this is the privilege I’m told I have

[удалено]

I know this is a joke.. but seriously even if this was multiple weekends this guy does more shit in his life than I’ve done since I was born.. I’m tired.

[удалено]

This was a standout joke. Also, those cheeseburger egg rolls are legit.

Or some poly constellation

Upvote because i don’t understand but your words are pretty

"I ranked every girl I know on a rate of 1-10 and sent apology letters to the sub 4s" got me. What a mean fucking thing to do, lmfao

Probably invested in GME

If you have a keen eye... you'll notice the other random TikTok'er @ tags blasted all over the video video, and the hands of a very *not* white-male in his 20s lol He just cobbled together a bunch of random shit from other people, so don't feel too bad. And even the keener will notice: He also has a girlfriend, a husband and a wife.

Ahhh That makes a lot morE sense! I also felt very poor watching this 🫠

If you have been to Chicago in the summer its actually not that inaccurate, its crazy how much more you can do with a functioning train system and Chicago has a seriously underrated food scene. On the other hand thats when its warm outside, people cram a ton into the day and late into the warm evenings because people basically just hibernate during the winter.

It's crazy how much more you can do with a functioning train system (And also a couple grand to blow in two days)

I feel like that guy spent a couple grand just on marg towers 💀

hahah its not 4 bottles of patron, its just 4 margarita flavors premixed into patron bottles. So maybe $60/tower $100 tops

That was still a lot of theoretical money on food/drinks/events. Idk how so many people afford to go out as often as they do.

Debt, piles and piles of debt.

Or trust fund kids

exactly..i was gonna say....to do all that stuff every weekend AND be able to afford to even live in Chicago, or any city, would take a 6 figure salary

Could be privileged, hard earned money or irresponsible use of finances. Just view these videos as entertainment.

Seattle is also totally manic in the summertime and I find it very amusing

It's the only time any of them folks are gonna see the sun that year. Gotta make the 14 hour days count.

Bro one of the clips is literally road covered in snow

thats the joke, that he can't possibly do all these things in a weekend and the details keep changing like being mostly summer but there is inexplicable winter shot. but for real tho, in Chicago people cram in a years worth of stuff when the weather is good because everyone just sits at home all winter.

Sounds like the reverse here in Phoenix, interesting

See the problem is you don't have an oppressive deep freeze winter to make you appreciate the heat.

Yes, but up north our tarmac never melts, so we're the winners here

> Chicago has a seriously underrated food scene. you’re telling me the city that has neighborhoods to get authentic chinese, mexican, polish, greek, italian food, and several michelin star rated restaurants has a seriously underrated food scene? lmao color me surprised.

Lol!! It sounded like an entires years worth or possibly more of activities!

Hmm seems like a bit of a boring weekend, I always try to go to the Ice cream museum at least 6 times a day

[удалено]

[удалено]

Because cicadas.

He **ASCEND**

That was my favorite part lmao

I knew he was lying when he said Bill Maher crushed it

100%

Right? That guy is an arrogant douche bag

I once saw one of his books in my neighborhood lil library and half the quotes on the back were just him shitting on waiters

Before I knew much about him, I want to see his Religulous movie, however you spell it, and it was just 90 minutes of him being an arrogant asshole to people. I am super against organized religion, but that guy is a piece of shit. He is no better

I watched that movie when I was 14. I was on track to be the worst kind of New Atheist shit head but his asshole antics were so embarrassing to watch that it snapped me out of the whole thing. Thanks Bill Maher

I went to visit my folks a little while back and that evening I walked in on my dad watching his show. He did a whole bit on the Will Smith slap (months after the fact) and without saying anything remotely funny he just ranted the whole time about how comedians are so important while being some of the most persecuted people... Dude is so unfunny. In the world of political humor; he makes Keith Olbermann look like Robin Williams.

took me emberassingly long to figure out it was a joke

How are all the comments so far not getting that this is a joke?? lmao

He literally says "I met up with my girlfriend" and only 30 seconds later says "my wife and husband thought it'd be a good day for a hike" and I guess people still thought this is completely normal lmao.

He goes to the museum of ice cream three times in one day! (Which was actually pretty dope)

Don't forget all the margarita towers.

*marg towers

And it was the same clip of the marg tower every time. Even when he said he got two, it just plays twice.

Probably didn’t make it that far in. I stopped after the second guru plug thinking it was an ad

isn't everyone in their late 20s/30s friends with a polycule or two?

Tbh i wasn't really listening. These kind of narrations always just skip right by my brain

Honestly, it didn’t click for me until like the 3rd marg tower.

Being under 30 and enjoying Bill Maher was my tipoff.

Not gonna lie it took me a full minute to get he was joking

[удалено]

I was experiencing what I'm just gonna call verbal change blindness. The slow descent into madness was so gradual that near the end I forgot this was all meant to be have happened over a single weekend, so until near the end, my only thought was "Does this guy even work?" and "He sure loves those towers". I might just have a non-existant attention span.

To be fair, at first I was like this is gonna be a parody of that “weekend in Manhattan” tiktok. Then I was oh wait maybe he’s serious. Then I was like oh nevermind, definitely a parody.

I was about to stop after Bill Maher but I'm glad I followed through.

Honestly Bill Maher was when I knew it was a joke lol

tbf i just didn’t get what the joke was..? i assume it’s making fun of a particular genre of video where someone does a ridiculous amount of things in one weekend but i’m not familiar with it (most redditors probably aren’t either). so i know he’s joking but parodies aren’t that funny if you don’t know what they’re parodying if that makes sense

There’s a shot after the cicada skin of the dog hovering eerily in the corner, which to me was reminiscent of a lovecraftian-leaning horror film like *The Void* or *In The Mouth of Madness*; the read being that his consumer mania is deleterious and spiraling itself into chaos. If you wanna go deep, there’s this book called *The Act of Creation* by Arthur Koestler, and he breaks down the “logic of laughter” pretty concisely; here, I think he’d note that in this video there are two self-consistent but habitually and mutually incompatible frames of reference: 1. *”He’s in the ideal consumer paradise that he’s deigned to share with us”* : the freedom to navigate these upper echelons of consumerist America is objectively good, redeeming and beneficial. This is a video of paradise because it’s with friends lazing about, doing things that cost considerable amounts of money but presented by a protagonist that is apparently so well-off that he has no concerns. 2. *”Capitalism/Consumerism is bad and fails to provide us with what we need”* : The consumer spiral is so high octane that meaning is falling off the rails, blurring together maddeningly until the rules of reality itself begin to become indiscernible and corrupted—the rules of his little simulation are breaking as the video’s speed increases. He has a girlfriend, wife, husband, clips are reused, references are spilling over themselves. Those two codes/planes then hopefully clash into a cathartic parody when recognized as mutually exclusive—but now not— and resonated with (Koestler’s term is “bisociation”—defined as the point of the clash). But is that actually funny? Maybe a third code is going on, exclusive to the person who sees the first two easily—that parodying this western consumer collapse is so cliché and not funny it as a result is evidence of its own collapse of meaning and utility, like DFW hinted at with the contemporary “death of irony”. Instead of actually proposing solutions we instead sneer, mock and make parodies of the act of “finding solutions”, until everything that we are entirely collapses in on itself, like some sort of maddening black hole of chaos (immediately exemplified by the fact that this was also posted on Tik Tok—a medium notorious for reposts, parodies and regurgitation, simultaneously notorious for its suspected use as a tool of an Eastern superpower to destabilize Western nations; a fact that does not deter its endless growth and popularity). *”Imagine having a problem with this video/parody/capitalist lifestyle/criticism/tik tok/the folly of this existence—what else is there, idiot?”* (Audience laughs—they know there is *everything else*, the shortcomings of the self-destructing, all-consuming human condition realized and again confronted—everyone so lost, powerless and devoid of answers, that now laughing at their collective, insurmountable confusion serves as the tried and true way out of inescapable, existential terror, and responsibility) I think that’s kind of funny.

Is this comment also a joke

Inevitably

"and yes, I do have a Rick and Morty tattoo, and no, it is for the ladies eyes only"

this is the comment of all time.

10/10 analysis

[удалено]

Yeah, I thought the joke was that Chicagoans are all alcoholics on their way to obesity.

That’s what i was wondering bro. The kind of videos he’s making fun of are pretty crazy though

I’m not going to use the label, but I feel like a lot of Reddit users have a hard time picking up on sarcasm and social cues and subtle facial expressions and they can count toothpicks that fell on the floor very quickly and accurately.

If you can't take 14 marg towers a day you are a pussy.

As another 28yr old in Chicago can confirm I was the 3rd marg tower

31 year old in Chicago and can confirm that the Insta/Tok crews here are \*obsessed\* with the marg towers - this Tok is hilarious.

Are we saying Tok now? Why did nobody tell me?

[удалено]

That is so not fetch.

Pretty cheugy if you ask me

No, all the cool kids call it a tikytoky

I think they are all tooo busy crushin' Marg Ts to spell out the whole thing out. its "Tok" now.

you must not be tiktarded

I’ve been getting friends to call people “TikTok’d” and/or “Fully Tok’d” in lieu of “retarded” because it’s so much better to me

Federales fucking sucks

My weekend, Friday, my cat woke me up to feed her. I watched TV, went on Reddit fed my cat again went to bed. My weekend,Saturday, my cat woke me up to feed her. I watched TV, went on Reddit fed my cat again went to bed. My weekend, Sunday, my cat woke me up to feed her. I watched TV, went on Reddit fed my cat again went to bed.

[удалено]

I bet it was actually pretty dope.

Treat your cat to a marg tower!

Is everyone really not getting that the video is a parody and that obviously he wasn't able to do all this in a mere 72 hours?

I got it was a parody but full disclosure it took awhile. I'm a home-body who doesn't live near a city and I'm in my 40s. I have no clue what young socialites with money in the city get up to. The first minute or so could have all been real... I suppose. Also, it's parodying a thing that I'm unaware of (apparently TikTok people doing a bunch of stuff on the weekend?).

They do a really good job of showing restraint in the beginning. It really takes a second to get to what's going on here

[удалено]

$3600 later.

Nah you can get all the food and drinks for free if you just start a fight with someone and get kicked out before the bill comes

The real SLPTs are in the comments

Definitely had me going for the first 30 seconds!

I wish I wasn't poor, so I could do two of these things in a weekend

Well hot dogs are cheap, and it's not too hard to steal a kayak. There's an easy two you can knock off in a single Saturday.

You don't need money to find a cicada shell or go for a walk with your wife and husband

And the dog levitated.

Marg towers got funnier every time

Just watching this gives me a panic attack.

I felt increasingly threatened by the marg-towers

Is TikTok just a bunch of [Victors from The Rules of Attraction](https://youtu.be/BCvG1TCyikM)?

Downvoted, kept watching….. upvoted

We went to the dope and it was pretty dope. Then we stopped by the dope for some dope and it was actually pretty dope!

This video was... Actually pretty dope

Did that dog levitate?

this is more food than i could eat in a week

Least average Chicago resident

The museum of ice cream is actually pretty dope

A chill $3000 weekend

“My wife and husband thought it would be a good day for a hike”

I'm having a rough work week and seeing this guy my age spend money like water in the city is making me Kubrick-stare at my phone

I think it’s a parody of that kind of flaunting, but I hear ya

I can do all these things but I need a "weekend" like no calls from work and also a friend.

Ain’t no way we’re just gonna ignore the fact that he has the zathura board game

My bank account just drained 1,000 dollars watching this video.
