Listen, if you’re the kind of person who wants to watch a rap video about scooters, here’s a rap video about scooters. You’re welcome.
Also, if you make it to the end of the video, you might as well stick around for the credits. For one thing, you’ll learn that the video was directed by Andrew Oleck, the man who created that fake Mark Zuckerberg video, “A World Without Facebook.”
And there’s this disclaimer: “This video is not an advertisement. It is comedic satire. Bayview Drive Films is not endorsed, affiliated or otherwise sponsored by Bird.”
It’s the kind of message that raises more questions than it answers. Like: What’s the joke here? Is the video pro-scooter, anti-scooter, neither, both? Was I supposed to laugh? I mean, I chuckled a little at the rubber chicken, but mostly I cringed. Is that normal? Would I have gotten more out of the video if I listened to more rap? Or if I’d ever been on a scooter? Can any of us truly claim to know what “satire” even is?
In related news, here’s a a synth-pop song about Elon Musk. Happy Labor Day weekend!
