    Huh, well the depiction in the beginning of a couple of hipsters was kind of funny in a completely cliched way, obviously, no comedic talent was necessary to come up with the idea of a hipster sneering at a Barnes and Nobles.

    What really puzzles me though is what happens halfway through. Is it suggesting that a typical Brooklyn couple finds a predator hiding behind a bush watching children (the ones the hipsters were looking at a moment earlier) charming?

    Or is the suggestion just the result of bad editing?

    yawn.

    I mean, I kind-of laughed because I have the same smug "I've never been to Starbucks" attitude, but the only interesting thing in this video was hoping to see someone I know walk past.

    No one did.

    Umm, is it just me? I not only didn't get the ending, but, i found nothing even remotely amusing in it

    I find it interesting that this was posted on HuffingtonPost.com. This video is getting national exposure.

    confusing and bizarre attempts at humor
    cliched musical score
    shoddy editing

    Yeah, I was expecting something a lot better. I like to make fun of myself as much as anyone, but seriously, there was nothing I found worth a laugh.

    Only white, college educated kids with money from Ohio live in Brooklyn? Wow. Who knew?

    The couple in this film does not resemble the Mexican couple I witnessed weeping with joy when they opened up their first American bank account at the Citibank on 7th Avenue and President Street last weekend.

    i didn't look at it from a racial angle
    it was funny
    i even own that heidegger book
    but i'm not a couple, so i can hide in that

    we're all sold on our own fantasies/pretensions
    many of the generalizations were spot on
    thumbs up. the actor looked john cusack'ish
