Paul Rudd, A “Certified Young Person”?

YouTube. The social media platform that has been saturated with videos since it became…

Weekly Post 4

The video from “Certified Young Person”, Paul Rudd, is a funny and interesting way to approach a PSA to young people to wear masks. This initially comes off as parody, but it adversities valuable information about the social responsibility of young people during the COVID pandemic. While the information…

Week 4

I think that this video sounds nothing “Boomer-ish.” I think that the video itself and the interpretations of millennials is rather funny. I found myself watching the video, laughing at moments like when he says “Yes Queens like ourselves go to bars” because I get his reference. Sure, the video itself is cheesy…

Video-Sharing Service

I rewatched the video a couple of times because I wanted to see if what I was thinking changed after but it didn’t. This video story gets to a point but not in the way that people think could be helpful to young people. Like there could have been other ways for it to be portrayed that…

Weekly Post Four

I thought this video was light-hearted and humorous, which we do need in a time like this. Personally, I find it refreshing to see something like this that shares an important message but is also funny and enjoyable to watch, even if it is somewhat cringy. I also like the argument that Paul Rudd…

Weekly Post #4

Youtube is a very good video website to get readers to not only listen, but watch. For example some young influencers started on Youtube, like, Emma Chamberlain, the Dolan twins and then they moved onto other social media platforms. People like this create trends and ideas that reflect onto the…

JMS 215 Weekly Post 4

In the Paul Rudd video in the prompt, Rudd is heavily campaigning young people to wear their masks during the pandemic. Rudd is a famous person that has had big time film roles, such as Ant-Man. The goal of the video is to have a celebrity influence others to wear their masks for the…

Weekly Post 4

In the video “Certified Young Person,” by Paul Rudd was a hilarious PSA that wants millennials to wear their masks. He is well known for his movies in “Ant Man” and “Avengers.” In the video it demonstrates him in a yellow jumpsuit, trying to look “hip.” It’s not the type of humor to be taken seriously…

Post 4: The Other Video Platform

Paul Rudd making a wear a mask PSA was amusing, but I don’t know how effective it would be. It felt very forced and trying hard to be funny; at points it even felt mocking which turned me off from the message a bit. While watching an adult act like a Millennial, I think…

JMS 215 Post 4

After watching the video, I thought it was cute and light-hearted. I do believe that it was a fun way to spread a message without it being someone who just seems angry and demands people to wear their masks throughout the entire video. Obviously, towards the end of the video, Paul Rudd was demanding…

Paul Rudd’s Mask Video

Why I think that this video is comedy gold.

Prompt #4

I saw this video when it first came out, I watched it multiple times because I thought it was hilarious. But focusing on the more important question, is it effective? No, I don't believe that it is. I think that it is a very satirical way to approach an issue that has been a large problem, but I don't see…

Weekly Post 4

This 2 minute video was very cute. Picking Paul Rudd to do this was a very smart choice, because everyone loves Paul Rudd. He is very likeable. The video felt more funny than anything. It didn’t feel like they were making fun of millennials, it just felt like an exaggerated version of what older people…

Weekly Post 4

I think this video’s purpose is much more comedic than to actually make a real difference. I think this story is effective at calling out a specific group of people, like you said. However, I don’t know if it would actually get people to wear masks. I find it funny because I hear a lot of people around…

Certified Young Person Prompt #4

Youtube is one of the most popular video sharing websites on the internet and this also makes it one of the easiest to embed on other social media platforms. Youtube videos are able to easily be shared on other platforms with little effort. So it would make sense to pick…

That ‘other’ video sharing, social platform

I think this video is funny and informative. Paul Rudd is a popular actor amongst Millenials so they chose a good representative for the video to lecture about masks. The importance of masks is something that should be stressed on social media platforms…

Weekly Post 4

I found the Paul Rudd PSA to be funny, but not particularly helpful. The attempted and excessive use of modern Internet slang was amusing, and I have no idea what was up with his skater outfit. However, I think he is after the wrong generation. He claimed his message was to Millennials, but then used…

PSA’s

Personally after watching the Paul Rudd video I think it for sure appeals to a certain audience. I think its a tad bit over the top in my opinion with the language he is using but overall I understand the message he was trying to preach. I think a lot of the younger generation will follow just because of the actor…
