I don't get it.
She wants to get married, but apparently men constantly show videos on their phones, which she doesn't want.

Is that a thing? Maybe I don't know enough guys? The only person insisting on showing me videos on their phone is my wife so...

Or maybe she thinks it's an SO thing. I guess that would make more sense, now I think about it. For sure, my wife is the only person I tolerate this nonsense from.

It's an exaggeration. A joke. People often force their favorite videos on other people and it sucks.

It’s a thing, my buddies constantly want me to watch some YouTube dreck that I politely refuse

I only just realised, but some of my younger colleagues really do love sharing videos, now that I think about it. Their ref game is strong and if you so much as hint that you might not get it, bam! it's video time for the whole office.

I dunno, I'm old enough to have read the book about memes before it was even a word on the Net, so it might be a generation thing, but I don't care much for videos. Even gifs break my balls with the looping. I'd just have a nice pic if text isn't enough. But I'm the kind of person that will happily write pikachu_face.jpg and expect you to get and not force you to read the KnowYourMeme page on it, so I find the forced video watching a bit... like explaining the joke. It kinda kills the mood.
