True Men are Brosephs (For April 10, 2009)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7_Z3D1535Jo&feature=channel_page

The link above leads to a video entitled "Take It to the Next Level." It's by some amateur comedians from a YouTube channel called "Balloon Shop." I really can't say with total confidence that I know what this video is getting at. Begin watching it and you'll see why I say this. However, it seems that this scene is supposed to be a parody of how young guys act these days. This seems to be true, judging from their frequent use of the word "Broseph", a slang term used today that is the equivalent of "bro" or "homie." As the scene occurs, the two men's hyper-masculinity seems to be getting stronger and stronger. It gets to the point where they start doing weird handshakes, riding each other's backs, pinching each other's nipples, and even punching each other. Though all of these actions happen in the span of two and a half minutes seems extreme, you can't deny seeing resemblances between these weird "communication" techniques and two testosterone-filled buddies paling around. Just be careful though, it will be hard not to laugh if you see some guys acting even a little similar to the two guys in the clip.
