F*** me... 2 hours too slow

It felt like a parody, all the noise and the so called "bad-guys" didn't give a rats ass about it.

The look of "Oh fuck yeah!" when he spots the duct is great.

Uhh... I don't get it. Pointless.

It's commentary on the true practicality of the novel idea of crawling around in air ducts to attack baddies. It might seem like a good idea, but it's really hard to move around and keep track of where you are. Worst of all, if someone attacks you, particularly with a grenade, you'll be really disappointed when you're unable to escape.

Not to mention that the average air duct is very thin metal, makes a buttload of noise and would probably be completely impractical unless ground mounted.

This is lame. Why the upboats?

Thank you for your intelligent, reasoned, measured response. You truly are an asset to the Sift community.

Not to belabor the point, but it was a legitimate question. I simply don't understand what people are responding to in this clip. There's not a compelling story. It's not particularly well-shot. Sure, there are some simply After Effects VFX squibs and such, but nothing that your average indie filmmaker can't do in a few hours.

I ask again, what are people responding to in this clip? Did I simply miss something, a meme or whatever? Genuinely befuddled.

Fuck your world.

As a commentary, it lacks two things to make it really work:
1. An actual story or gag.
and/or
2. Better performance to make it actually funny/interesting.

To me it just looks like going through the motions. The Sift can do better than this...

It's more the absolute running joke that games (Metal Gear Solid series in particular!) say "Air ducts are tactically sound!" - Then you move through, loud as a motherfucker with no space to manoeuvre and then you are kinda fucked when they toss in a grenade or similar.

It's just playing up to an Tactical Espionage (looking at you MGS!) cliche! (Although this appears in FPS and movies too!)

That help at all?
