EDIT: oh nope, wrong call. Huh. I never really "got" mukbang videos but I had a Matt Stonie binge some months back out of pure boredom. It's pretty intense, the competitive eating thing.
@aamefford watched this ages ago and if you can stomach (pun inadvertent) the video this does a great job explaining the phenomenon. Nearly an hour docu though.
I don't get mukbang videos at all - on average, I'm neither entertained or disgusted, just feels like one of the most boring and passive things I could watch.
Quite enhanced audio volume on that! My wife couldn't stand hearing it on my laptop from across the room.
Love that they took time with 2-3 cameras to change up the POV.
But I don't get the idea of watching somebody eat. Especially when they sound like that. OTOH, spicy chicken (well, spicy anything) sounds most excellent!
@penguins I totally agree. I randomly watched another Hamzy video and was both disappointed and relieved she only ate 5 of 6 fried chicken thighs after first polishing off a bowl of spicy noodles and 2 cans of beer :-S
