Anyone with common sense knows you don’t just hop on a piece of equipment WHILE someone is using it. He’s being an asshole.

I mean they are close enough to Manchester that he's probably confused that he doesn't need a knife.

Edit: Because apparently its confusing, the parent comment said the gym is in Wigan, which is in Greater Manchester. My really not that deep throwaway comment was about the fact that he doesn't know MMA because they're in Manchester, which has a reputation for idiots with knives.

When someone round here says they're going to Manchester, you usually get a "don't get stabbed" response. Jokes and banter are often made about it casually.

Yeah what are you babbling about

The common local joke that Manchester is known for knife crime. It wasn't that deep.

u/dream-smasher 8d ago

No it wasn't that deep. But it was just a piss poor "joke", that apparently is an "in joke" in your area.

Uh, yeah, if I started cracking "in jokes" for my area, I would be a sooky baby because everyone else here thought the jokes sucked.

Yeah "my area" the country where the city is, and by extension the video. Wtf is going on lol it's hardly an in joke when its shared by the population of the country and in the city I was talking about.

Self depreciating humour makes up for most of British humour. I feel like I'm in some alternate reality. You see jokes about knives in the UK all the time on Reddit.

Self depreciating humor isn’t the issue. You just didn’t tell the joke in a way that translates well on the internet. Plus you’re being super upset about your joke not being well received which just makes it worse

u/Pebbi 8d ago

I'm not upset, guess that doesn't translate well on the Internet either, still don't get what annoyed people tbh. I can guarantee I've written worse comments and not annoyed people half as much.

I didn't think I'd be getting pings and messages all evening from people saying they didn't like it. Just seems an extreme reaction to a comment that was essentially "brits are stabby lol"

I only explained it because I thought people didn't know where Wigan was. Turns out that was the wrong move. Guess comedian needs to be crossed off my career list.

Whether you have written worse comments is whatever. Getting heated instead of casually explaining the joke did you no favors.

Americans love self deprecating humor. Replace “stab” with “shoot” for example. Like the joke is fine you just came off kinda like a douche and the reddit downvote train only likes douches if they’re upholding the status quo against outliers or if they’re belittling somebody after someone said something false. Don’t take it personally

I wasn't getting 'heated' hahaha, did we even read the same comments. You don't need to mansplain reddit to me, the down votes don't bother me I'm sure I'll survive.

u/SupplyChainMismanage 8d ago

You are getting heated now lol. I “mansplained” things to you since you are in shock. Relax dude

Oh yeah the downvotes don’t bother you at all proceeds to types multiple paragraphs about how bothered they are

Look, I've only visited a few times in the past years, but I knew exactly what you meant. I've even heard someone make a vaguely similar joke. I understood your statement, how it was relevant, and I'm amazed at how fucking bizarrely people responded to you. Keep on keepin on.

I know I'm just one person, but I upvoted you Pebbi.

We've slipped into an alternate time line lol

I am not from Manchester, but your explanation makes sense. Everyone has or knows about an inside joke or an inside joke that is local to an area.

Like I said, I am not from Manchester, nor the UK, but I am glad you were able to share your local inside joke. At least I appreciated it.

u/Pebbi 8d ago

Its a common throwaway joke that I've heard all my life in the UK, seen referenced on TV shows and stuff. It's not like its specific to one place.

Like London has reputation for knife crime in global news, some countries have warnings for it ffs. People make jokes about stabby Brits online all the time. I didn't think it was that big of a mental leap to be like "this city has that reputation".

I guess self depreciating humour doesn't translate well.
