When Broadway kids Andrew Keenan-Bolger and Dani Spieler won some Lonely Planet contest, they were asked to create a travel video documenting their trip to San Francisco. After watching this gem about 5 times I can attest that these musical theatre kids have a seriously distroted view of what a video with a “campy twist” means, what comedy is all about, and how to act in a production outside of “Perez Hilton Saves the Universe.” I mean, isn't musical theatre the definition of campy? Hey musical kids, I know this might be a stretch for you, but can you make this vid campy, k? You guys would have been far more successful doing a Glee meets High School Musical tour of the Tenderloin. And I'm sorry guys, if you're renting your trendy single-speed bikes from Blazing Saddles, you've already lost the game.

Painfully bad.
viciously tight
Hmm. I just… uhh… I don’t know how to put this into words without sounding like an asshole. I just didn’t think it was funny. I’m not saying that just because I’m in San Francisco. If they were using the same jokes on Williamsburg, it would still be the same tired “hipster” tropes that have been done for years. Nothing new to see here, move along… (only a “hipster” would say that, I guess, whoops).
that was so insanely over my fucking head.
DOUCHE CHILLS!
Anyone else want to have sex with Jenny Wilson?
Hi Jenny. Call me.
Jenny, when are you free for some sex? I’d like to get in on this.
Just so you know, this is the way we actually see you people. All my old hippie friends think you are a bunch of narcissistic douche bags. So maybe to temper the immune reaction would be to create an avatar called: Old Hippie Lady.
But a word of warning: Old Hippie Ladies are tough as nails and hate jerks riding their bikes on sidewalks.
Heads up to anyone who watched that more than 30 seconds for the same reason I did: she doesn’t take her shirt off
That was painful. I prefer this one… http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lVmmYMwFj1I

Hipster Rule #561:
It’s acceptable for hipsters to make fun of everyone else, but no one can EVER make fun of hipsters. Period.
BLAZING SADDLES
Never mind that when the voice over says “the mission district is the place to see and be seen” the video footage is Telegraph St. in Berkeley…
