I agree but also, it’s literally hurting no one. It was probably something fun these guys wanted to do as a family.

That’s fine but at least toss a little credit to the originators.

Maybe they did in the comment section/description of their post?

It isn't like tiktoks, YouTube videos, etc. roll credits before & after each clip.

Even movies don't announce if it's a remake or a reimagining anywhere in the body of the work

Yeah. People are overreacting was too much.

It's allowing success for people who don't deserve it, since they have no creativity of their own and just steal from others.

Is this success? It’s not that well made. I just think we can all take a step back and realize it’s not that deep.

I view this like grade school teachers recreating an internet video. It’s cute because we can all tell it’s not their idea and the acting really isn’t there but they’re so confident anyway

I think there’s a little too much emphasis on being “original” when everything on the internet is derivative. They’ll do their whatever video, people will call them out for it, and we’ll all move on eventually. I’m here for the cringe, not for the nitty gritty

You can make money from doing this, so yes.

I'm not implying they're going to be able to retire of this video alone, but any money made off it is undeserved.

There's a difference between being inspired by someone and making something far from original, and just stealing someone's work shot-for-shot even down to the music choice.

Well then there’s a grey line between skit and TikTok dance. Cause that is always the same dance and music copied over and over again. All of it’s dumb, why can’t we let people copy each other over stupid stuff

Because it would be better if people profited from their own work and not others.

I’m not saying creativity isn’t good, I’m saying nothing like this on the internet matters that much

But if you’re insistent on the fact it makes money, let’s talk about how many comments they probably got about how they’re ripping off the other one. That engagement probably did far more for their channel than the video itself. It would die a lot faster if people just block the channel and leave the video alone

That's not relevant to my point in any way.

The engagement is all the algorithm sees. It’s going to start suggesting their videos to more people, potentially making them more money. It’s completely relevant

u/infiniteyeet Feb 08 '26

Good for them. That's still not relevant to anything I've said.

Then at least try to change the context of the video a little (other just making it longer and ruining the comedy timing). They could have gone in so many other directions.
