Show Me Your Dubsmash. Please?

A quick note on Dubsmash for the uninitiated: it is an app that allows you to dub a voice over your own (these run a healthy gamut from those of talented musicians to hilarious comedians to Antoine Dodson) while you speak (or sing) (croon) (croak) into a selfie camera perfectly squared for Instagram dissemination.

Ultimately, what you earn is proof that 1) you were made for Broadway, 2) service is great, and apps are great for that, but it is the little, futile things that make life on the web feel more livable an,  3) traditional conversations spoken monotonously could soon be extinct. Furthermore, too, hyperliteralization will cease to exist in the name of inference as evidenced by the series of examples below:

What you see: Amelia quoting Zoolander.

What is actually happening: Amelia finally confessing that she can’t turn left.

What you see: Leandra using the famous colloquialism of Bart Simpson to suggest surprise.

What is actually happening: Leandra trying to figure out a way to explain that she already knows Amelia is a dumb ass.

What you see: Amelia trying to win an Oscar by quoting Hook.

What is actually happening: Amelia is very drunk.

What you see: Leandra yelling, confused.

What is actually happening: Amelia is fired.

See! Isn’t this great! Isn’t this fun? Who needs original words when some of the greatest phrases and anthems have already been executed for us? It’s never a compelling story if you don’t get involved, though, and because compressing these files into YouTube clips to share in the comments below might seem like kind of a cumbersome task, I will instead just ask that you get engaged via Instagram, which Dubsmash makes real easy, using the hashtag #mansmash. Because why not, right? Best ones win a YouTube compilation care of us!
