Following the popular video that showcased “strangers” (who basically looked like models) kissing, and the subsequent video with “real” strangers kissing, someone decided to do something that’s genuinely awkward, and let a bunch of people slap one another to break the ice.
The uncomfortable-levels are at an all-time-high while the men and women let one another take swipes at each other, all while trying to maintain a friendly smile. This seems to be an obvious farce, poking fun at the original ‘strangers kissing’ video. While it is difficult (and hilarious) to watch, the reactions are a refreshing change from the romanticized scripted versions of these types of videos we’ve seen before.
“No one was pressured, and everyone was hit as hard as THEY asked to be hit, assures director Max Landis, who produces videos under the name UpToMyKnees.
