Baby Steps Devs Turn Speedrun Reaction Into Hilarious Meta-Comedy

I found this new video from the Baby Steps team that you really need to watch. Making a sixteen minute clip, these guys poke fun at how people react to games. Look at how they talk about what is real and what is fake in art. My favorite part is the way they act silly while the game plays in the back.

What Happens In The Video

I saw the two devs start by asking some real deep questions. Gabe says things are false; it feels like a big fight about ideas. You should notice how they discuss acting and the truth of a beach. Quietly, the speedrun just goes on like it is not even there. The silence makes the talking feel more weird.

Satirizing Reaction Videos

I like how they use the tropes of typical YouTubers to make a point. Because they sound so serious even when being goofy, you will laugh. They bring up the time Markiplier threw his chair during a hard game. Did that anger stay real, or did he just do it for the camera view? This shows you the line between a show and real feelings is very thin indeed.

The Unexpected Turn

I watched them rewind the film once the run was finally done. Acting crazy like those loud people you see on the internet, they start yelling. Cuzzillo screams about how the player never makes a single mistake. Just then the character falls over and the joke hits perfectly. Every loud yell they make has a lot of irony in it.

Why It Matters

I believe this video acts as a love letter to comedy that breaks every rule. Think back to when Conan O’Brien went on Hot Ones and did his own thing. This has the same energy since it ignores the standard way of doing things. I suggest you go watch it right now if you like smart jokes. Toss those old rules away to make something your fans will love.
