First, this video seems like just a joke, but it's impossible to tell just from this clip. Just gonna take your word on the comments. They sound awful.

Second, the formatting of this video is baffling. Instead of cloned video like most portrait-mode videos use for landscape viewing, they appear to have taken the very ends of the frame, zoomed in and cut out the bits that would just attach it to the central part of the frame. All indicating it was shot landscape and then edited for portrait and then further edited for this. Like...why? At that point why not just publish the video unedited? This portrait-mode stuff is so damn dumb.
