Former SNL alum, Amy Schumer meets up with her friends in the video and they make [hilarious and somewhat off-color remarks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sunhinged) about their [personal appearance](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/roast-my-selfie) or life situations. Quotes include, “I look like a golden retriever’s dingle-berry,” and “of course I see everyone when I look like Susan Boyle’s toothbrush.” The video takes on the task of pointing out the ridiculousness of lengths that some people go to to avoid accepting a compliment. The video ultimately ends with someone saying a simple “thank you,” and the rest of the group dying from the shock of it. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.5/10 - Popularity: 27% | Activity: 69% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Pop Culture](https://www.trendhunter.com/popculture) > [Media](https://www.trendhunter.com/media) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Humorous Self-deprecation:** Opportunity to create comedic content that highlights the absurdity of downplaying compliments. ### Who This Affects Most - **Comedy Entertainment:** Potential for comedy TV shows, online videos, and stand-up acts that explore the humor in self-deprecating remarks. - **Psychology:** Opportunity for psychologists and therapists to examine the psychological reasons behind self-deprecation and its impact on individuals. - **Advertising:** Possibility for brands to incorporate self-deprecating humor in their marketing campaigns to connect with consumers who resonate with this type of humor. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Sweat-Themed Comedy Specials](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/live-comedy-special.md) - [Digital Emotional Support](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/compliment-me1.md) - [Affirmation-Centric Dating App Features](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/compliments-feature.md) - [Movie-Inspired Dating App Features](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bumble-barbie-compliments.md) - [Daily AI-Generated Compliments](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aicomplimentme.md) - [Social-First Snack Comedies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pretzelized.md) - [Humorous Snack Commercials](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ritz-salty-club.md) - [Comedian-Backed Razor Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bic-easyrinse-razor.md) - [Comedic Body Wash Ads](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/moist-humor.md)
