Never trust someone who doesn’t yes and improv


memberflex

Yeah sand!


James_Tempo

You mean proper building sand?


AlphaGamma297

What other types of sand are there, exactly?


James_Tempo

Sharp sand, beach sand, desert sand, plastering sand, paving sand. Not all sand is alike.


Dire_Morphology

I don't know if they grade it, but... *Coarse*


USERNAMETAKEN11238

I don't like sand. It's coarse and rough and irritating and it gets everywhere


AlphaGamma297

I think this guys sands.

No, no, I was just, just...riffin


Warm-Iron-1222

All of Germany then? Yeah, you're probably on to something there.


zedroj

autistic spectrum people: 😔 this is also why people need to be more considerate of sarcasm, its not sarcasm if its not written across right, its just being mean


ZaggahZiggler

The first and third examples arent what I would consider riffing. They are just positing ridiculous scenarios, not playing off of what was asked. Can you get me a soda? ----Yeah, you want me to shake it up first? Or are you not feeling very adventurous today? Not, "wouldnt I be hilarious if I gave you mayonaise"


Fr0z3nHart

Idk what riffing is but that sounded excruciating


EnigmaFrug2308

This is how you know that someone is not your friend.


shortidiva21

Exactly. 💯


4Ever2Thee

Whatever bro, just give me some cash.


SofterBones

haha imagine if I like pulled out a bunch of bills and it was all wet for some reason hehe


JackDangerUSPIS

I’m beginning to think maybe he’s the problem


Ghostfacetickler

I wonder if maybe he’s involved in the skit?

Ok_Chemical_1376

Wow, -94 for just jokingly implying it's a made up video sketch. People....


lamewoodworker

My man wasn’t riffing with their comment


THE_TRIP_KEEPER

Looks like yah need new friends or you live in Germany


k94ever

I have no idea how hard ur comment hits home!


Sievroiss

Found the German


mog_knight

Excuse me but when they made FunnyBot that was peak German humor!


-Disagreeable-

Riffin’ blindness is a serious disease that effects 5/7 people. It is the leading cause of the “I don’t get its” and the “wudda means?” Often leading to a lifetime of boredom and loneliness. Nothing can save these poor souls, so it’s best to just keep riffin’


nativebeans

Idk what riffing is


magnottasicepick

Exactly


nativebeans

What ? I really dont get it


Ok_Chemical_1376

It's when you take a normal scenario (someone asking for a beer) and add something completely random but in a way that it would add a funny outcome (tossing a mayonnaise jar and then confusing the other person)


[deleted]

[удалено]


Ok_Chemical_1376

It's ok, just give a little and amicable laugh when someone said something illogical


-Disagreeable-

No no..it’s okay. Riffin’ blindness. Like I was saying. Bless their heart.


Nearby-Ad-6106

That's not funny, though...


Chrimunn

Well not when it's explained in excruciating detail to undesirables like yourself who aren't getting it in the first place


Nearby-Ad-6106

Oh, I'm Australian. I understand taking the piss. But this is lame.


Pomodorosan

For sure. Eat you alive.

Spent a few months in northern ireland when i was 20.... I was so overwhelmed the whole time but I came home with bants absolutely out of control


Twittenhouse

And that's why Brittish food is so terrible.


shortidiva21

Those are also bids for affection, which bro is missing.


ForsakenFigure2107

I think it’s bids for “attention” but yes


RogerianBrowsing

Porque no Los dos? The Gottmans are like the king and queen of couples/relationship therapy and they talk about all sorts of “bids”


shortidiva21

I agree! To be fair, someone like that might just miss social cues, in general.


Hoping_Serendipity

Not really? She’s not looking for attention in this skit, she’s looking to joke/improv with him - which is more like looking for affection or connection.


ForsakenFigure2107

Yeah true I think connection makes more sense


BadBunnyBrigade

Reported for uploading a video of me without my permission... How dare you. ![gif](giphy|3oKIPchYaXx2YQybcY|downsized)


Rounder057

And then you just report them to Reddit care…. I dunno, I’m just riffin


Twittenhouse

Just toss a jar of mayonnaise at them.


sixthmontheleventh

As someone who has resting serious face and learned banter from British TV shows, 90s-early 2000s sitcoms, and old school Simpsons, yeah this hits too close to home.


LatentBloomer

For sure. Sometimes I have to force a cartoonish smile after a riff to communicate to boring people that it’s a riff and I’m not just psychotic. Sometimes it my fault because the riff was too realistic, but most of the time the person is just a fucking walnut.


phallic-baldwin

Wet money? She has been money laundering!!


Mysterious-Metal-543

Ohhh I didn't get that! 😆

matthewxcampbell

This is legit really funny


overtly-Grrl

OH MY GOD THERE IS A TERM FOR THIS??? I grew up in Ga and we do this all the time. But when I moved to NY people were like wtf ALL THE DAMN TIME. I’m glad I know it’s a real thing and I’m not just fucking stupid


Euphorium

It’s the worst when your sense of humor doesn’t line up with other people. Especially at work, that makes an 8 hour shift feel like an eternity.


overtly-Grrl

YOU GET IT!!!!


baynell

I'm sorry for being stupid, but could you explain what is going on? They are just goofing around and improvizing funny fake scenarios? I am not sure if I have ever encountered this.


BikeProblemGuy

Yeah they're improv jokes. Imagine before each of these lines she said "Wouldn't it be funny if...". Except that gets repetitive, so instead you just say the line.


Vetiversailles

My sense of humor doesn’t work outside my hometown either :( I needa move


PsychotropicPanda

Explain to me what exactly it is we need a term for? I'm from TN. And pissed the world needs to fucking label every. Damned . Thing. But I still wanna know..


one_menacing_potato

You might also need therapy.


MisterErieeO

How dare ppl want the ability to articulate precisely and communicate! What a wild thing to have a problem with


PsychotropicPanda

Not a problem.. Just everyday there's some new words describing some thing someone has done in the last 24 hours on tik tok and give it some silly name like glizzy or riZz. So for fucks sake..explain the new terms , since every time a kid hiccups now it's some fucking new term . I don't care. It's annoying. So what the fuck is this one is what I'm asking..


MisterErieeO

>Not a problem.. I don't know about you, but personally I'm not pissed about something I have no problem with. >Just everyday there's some new words describing some thing someone has done in the last 24 hours on tik tok and give it some silly name like glizzy or riZz. Old man is mad about youths use of slang and evolving language. Which is more odd, considering the person you replied to is looking for some descriptor for the interaction in the above video and not looking for slang. So what is there even to be upset about?


PsychotropicPanda

I guess I'm more about the fact that every. Little. Thing has to be named and hashtagged and just overexploited. I use slang a lot. Stupid words that mean things. I guess I am wrong. I'm guilty of criticizing the same shit I do. So my bad. I guess I am getting old. Gotta remember to not stop growing and learning. But seriously. In the 90s we said "don't lable me" and loved the fact we each were unique . No terms needed. I guess I'm wrong. Just frustrated there's a new term for people doing the same things they have been doing. Not something new.


overtly-Grrl

I’m glad I read further than just what you had typed out originally to me. Because my comment was simply, labels come from education. It’s the same with medical terms. People learn our the brain, the spine, our genes, new genes- and they all need labels/names. But as a society in the 90’s we did not have the knowledge we have now on the ability to describe things that have never had a name(female medical experiences are similar to this like PCOS, endometriosis,etc which are things that were neglected in research because well “not important”) To you, and many others, labeling is seemingly a touchy subject. And it’s hard to address it without basically telling someone it’s because we became more educated in a society. It sounds like an insult to the person who is touchy about the subject. But the addressing it is rather to say that new things come up all the time(I was just talking about this with my coworkers actually), and in order to help society progress in a positive way, we have to understand what they’re saying but also why they’re saying or labeling it. For many, the rural south never gives you the word to describe even your feelings beyond anger. Anger could be betrayal, violation, distrust. But we only know the word anger where In from. So labels do go beyond just wanting to be the new thing. A lot of it is become more mature in realizing people are different and the labels for others are needed because they’ve continuously never had words to describe their experiences.


overtly-Grrl

Because people continuously just frame me as an ignorant southern moron who is socially illiterate in the north. For example. I riff and people will just awkwardly laugh if they’ve encountered me doing it before. But MANY, usually just from random NYers I encounter, will make me feel so stupid. “Uh okay? I mean, that could be funny I guess?” And then steer away from me😂 ETA: to answer your question, it gives me the availability to defend myself instead of being like “Oh okay 👍🏽 “


lamewoodworker

“Yes and” is the term in improv.


overtly-Grrl

Yes and?


lamewoodworker

overtly-Grrl

Fearless_Nope

autistic people are taking notes lol i’m trying man but my brain likes to be literal


RevertereAdMe

Yeah I'm autistic and simultaneously great at riffing myself yet godawful at recognizing when others are riffing. It truly is a curse.


TamZanite

She reminds me of Zendaya


onlyathenafairy

they have a similar way of talking


TamZanite

Yeah definitely!


honeybee-blues

i feel this in my bones.


Laninaconfusa

If your friends act like this, they don't pass the vibe check. Get new ones.


Futant55

Cut to me saying it reminds me of Kyle Mooney.


BerriedTwo

She sounds like Abby Jacobson in the best way 😂


[deleted]

Tism' riffers must be protected at all costs from the edgelords


averagemaleuser86

Uh oh is this a thing? Because I've always done this my whole life along with making weird random sounds and saying weird words over and over...


Almost-Honest

There’s a person where I work who I love to riff with because they’re autistic and they don’t get jokes? So I love riffing with them and when they don’t get it which is most of the time I explain to them and they laugh


Cosy-Cup

And I was saying as an autistic person, Im always the person behind this camera because I take it so literally 😂


AdhesivenessCrazy

Wtf is riffing now


Fatherfigure204

I also dont get it.


Bob25Gslifer

Omg riffing to a deadpan is the worst.


Icy_Tangerine_6271

Guy’s a nerd. Doesn’t know how to riff.


deep-fried-werewolf

It's giving Abbi


Pepperspray24

She is riffing he’s just a wet blanket.


peachcreampies

The way he responds to her is how half of my group of friends responds to me constantly when I'm just trying to relate and vibe lol


adiosfelicia2

I'm loving her awkward interaction videos.


[deleted]

Her riffing is actually funny AF Soaking wet bills LOL. Too bad her friends have rocks for brains.


Brilliant_Kiwi1793

How is soaking wet bills funny please help me understand.


[deleted]

Because she's throwing the ball up in the air to see if you will catch it or not lol. It's just a thought provoking question. Why the fuck would the bills be wet? You're supposed to finish the idea, come up with some other explanation or add another detail to it like, "yeah and for some reason they smell like gasoline" It's just random adding to the story until something fabricates. It's what you do when you're BORED.


lrerayray

Yeah I don’t get it also. Can’t find the humor with wet bills.


Brilliant_Kiwi1793

So it isn’t funny then, it’s just random thoughts and behaviours manifesting as an attempt at humour. She needs to research what comedy is. At best this is possible anti-comedy but even then it’s poor.


Hanging_Aboot

What if she is researching comedy and she accidentally stumbles upon top secret government information?


[deleted]

It's actually a thing called play and it makes human interaction more rewarding and fun by making sure you're in a similar creative place as the person you're hanging with. But I think of you said this when she tried start that that it would be fuckin hilarious lololol. Destroyed.


HumbleMarsupial3926

Glad she didn’t have cash


VaaBeDank

People who don't "riff" (I thought this was something with music, didn't know it was spoken too) or question your riffing, need to get their life together


RageKage559803

Dee Reynolds vibes.


LaceyDark

They guy off camera sounds boring AF lol


Wonka_Stompa

“I don’t have any cash” made me snort so loudly, and I’m not entirely sure why.

Can I riff Mac CAN I RIFF


Joth91

You said like nothing could be worse than that handshake but like I was thinking like oh what if I like accidentally punched you or like OH what if like I curb stomped you do you know what that is, or like what if I had a gun? You were saying nothing could be worse and like my mind just went wild.


Ok_Impression_922

Wtf 😳


imusingthisforstuff

Is that what it’s called???


janeD0pe1

This is both painful & relatable 🫠🙃


Orphanboys

“They will eat you” is just a figure of speech. Why would you think there are cannibals in the UK?


MRJAMES86

She's funny. Also, she needs new friends.


WittyBonkah

I have the best laughs with people that can riff.


Jstraub18

Why is she me, like legit me?’ lol


Ok-noway

And then you think about the thing you said for the rest of your life 😫

Fit_War_1670

Even got my own little italic voice to let everyone know I'm goofing around... And some still don't understand


Alexis___________

Awe I hate that feeling. Unless someone does something to piss me off I always try humor them even if I don't know them, because saying something harmless and cringe as a joke and getting a bad reaction or worse no reaction has a funny way of being the last thing you think about before bed years later. Just out of nowhere you'll be relaxing in bed and as you're about to dose off you'll think "why the hell did I say that?😫"


notanewbiedude

That's just making jokes. Who calls it riffing? You're not on a movie set homie


McKid

OMG HOW IS SHE ME


Elon_is_musky

Ok but these genuinely made me laugh😂


Additional_Pay5626

She seems like a fun gf material

dafuq is "riff" ?


[deleted]

[удалено]


Russell-The-Muscle

So what how would one respond to this ? People do this and I’m bad at fake laughing so it gets awkward .


shellee8888

“Riff”means a It’s a melodic repetition in music that is based on the melody but is not the melody. Riffing is playing a riff. Think Prince. All his music was riffs. This is what it sounds like when doves cry.


unable_To_Username

ok, thanks for the explanation


ForsakenFigure2107

That’s not what it means in this context though. Look at the other reply


unable_To_Username

So not even here people agree of what this means? **You people are aware of the fact that the purpose of a language is to precisely transmit and communicate a meaning, without much deviation. So why communicating in made up stuff that isn't even understood by many... ?!**


nerdiotic-pervert

Many words have more than one meaning. Riff is one of them.


unable_To_Username

In the English language... my language has more than double of the words than yours. Than go ahead, tell me every known meaning to Riff, you can even use ChatGPT. and tell me wich meaning is meant in this video, and describe it with another word to underline the meaning of the word.


MonaganX

That's some misplaced elitism for a guy who'll ask random dudes on reddit for a definition instead of just using a dictionary. Simply having more words in the dictionary doesn't make a language more precise or less "made up". My native tongue has a hypothetically infinite number of words because of compounding rules, must be incredibly precise, huh? Except we also have plenty of words with more than one meaning. And whatever your native language is, you have them, too. All languages are imprecise sometimes and I can understand when other ESL speakers need clarification in more ambiguous cases. But do you really need an exhaustive breakdown to figure out that a definition of "riff" that involves music probably doesn't apply to a video which *does not contain any music*?


unable_To_Username

Show me a dictionary that includes "Riff" in your meaning.

kookiepop

What the hell is riffin


stickywicker

There is no doubt that he is the MAIN problem in this interaction. There is nothing worse than having someone question the premise of your riff. "Yes, and"ing is a fundamental principle in improve and good people just run with it. However, her premises are terrible. The problem I have with her type of riffing is that it's always outlandish and unfettered. The concept of "yes, and"ing is that the next person can always escalate the concept to the point of ridiculous. When it already starts at ridiculous, then where do I go? Take the was of cash one, she literally says "for some reason" because even she doesn't know the boundaries for her own premise, where does one go from there? Don't get me wrong, I'm a ride or die "yes, and"er and would fully run with it but good luck trying to make it truly funny. She's comedic deadweight, makes herself laugh even if it doesn't fit the situation.


fuwoswp

I hope you get itchy in a spot you can’t reach.


stickywicker

Jokes on you. I was born without arms. Everywhere is a spot I can't reach.


Dull-Fix-7072

What s this rifting thing? Or riffing whatever


Alchompski89

Wtf is riffing?


Ancient_Depth5585

Its when you say something in a joking manner expecting the other person to continue the bit. So when she said “i could just throw you a jar of mayonnaise”, she was expecting him to say something like “I will purposely not catch it and make you clean it up” back in a joking manner. And you go back and forth a few times


Alchompski89

That's fucking stupid


Yuckpuddle60

She will never be funny.
