Submitted by user ‘Evil235’ to YouTube on April 20, 2009, this uploader is just that - completely evil. The above video shows a man giving his relative an English lesson, but instead of teaching her tenses or useful tourist phrases, he skips right to the swear words instead.
The poor little grandma has no idea whatsoever what she is saying as she joyfully exclaims, “F&#k you!” to her husband.
The same user also does a similarly crude English lesson on his little cousin in another YouTube video.
What Makes This Trend Stand Out
- Vulgar Language Teaching
- There is an opportunity for disruptive innovation in creating language teaching materials that incorporate more relevant and modern language, including swear words.
- Shock Value Content Creation
- Content creators can attract views and engagement through producing shocking or controversial content and leveraging social media platforms for virality.
- Humorous Learning
- Educational videos that use humor may appeal to younger viewers and can make learning more entertaining and engaging.
Sectors Adopting This
- Education and Language Learning
- The education industry could take advantage of the humorous, informal learning trend and produce more edutainment-style content to engage younger learners.
- Youtube and Social Media
- Social media and video sharing platforms provide creators with a low barrier to entry avenue to distribute content with shock value or controversial themes when trying to reach large audiences.
- Content Creation and Marketing
- Marketing strategies that use controversy or humor can attract audiences to a brand or product offering in the hope of establishing a more loyal customer base.
