'The Millennial Marriage Proposal' Is a Hilarious Look at Love in the Age of Social Media

If you don't post about it, did you even get engaged? This hilarious short film spoofs the social media generation with a couple that is most definitely hashtag relationship goals.

Coming to you from John Crist, this humorous short film pokes fun at how often these days, documenting an experience for social media seems to be more important than the experience itself. I've been at many concerts and events where I see people who are clearly more engaged with the act of showing off their presence than enjoying the actual event. I suppose if it makes you happy, who am I to judge? Nonetheless, I'd much rather have memories than an album of terrible phone videos, amd I do suspect that the pendulum will swing back in that direction a bit as the novelty of smartphones and social media wears off in the long run (and arguably, we've already seen it start to swing that way). Still, this is a humorous take on it all, though I do have to admit that the final shot looked pretty amazing.

If you're a fan of this, be sure to also check out "Bros on Instagram," a similarly hilarious spoof on getting that perfect latte shot.

Hilarious, that is when the photog should just take control.

so very fun!!!!

The video is dumb and too long but makes a valid point.

A "reality TV" show from South Africa. Making fun of the documentation of getting married: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XVwMXLkFxlo

this made my morning hahaha

It would have been even funnier if, at the end he said, 'Forget it. I don't want to marry you, b***h!' ;-)

OMG. Explains why I like my dog more than I like people.

Um, this is from a yr ago. And I'll bet Fstoppers posted it then too.

Yes, it is. No, we didn't.

LOL, this was fun to watch, almost as funny as the millennial job interview

This is old news.

I always end up with a bunch of these after every event. I think it's funny.

That was HIGHLARIOUS!

Not all millennials are addicted to tech. It's rather a stereotype. However, it's cool to have a balanced usage of technology in your life since it optimizes some things. I can surely say that a lot of young couples prefer to file for divorce online. Of course, lawyers are against this method and call such services like https://divorceonlineutah.com as scams but in my opinion, the future belongs to automatization.
