Hilarious ASMR parody

 
 
Sadly, I've never learned how to embed a TikTok video, so the above is a composite I created from screencaps.  The one on the right shows the outreach vehicle of the "Tiger Van" used by the Como Zoo and Observatory in Minnesota.  The screencap on the left is from a luxury vehicle (Mercedes) video posted at mycarspace.  It's a bit odd because it is an ASMR video rather than a conventional sales promotion video.  ASMRs are designed to create a "pleasurable tingling sensation in the head, scalp, back, or peripheral regions of the body in response to visual, auditory, tactile, olfactory, and/or cognitive stimuli" (see my old post from 2018 about ASMR in movies).

With that introduction I'm sure you will enjoy the parody.  I can't embed it, but you can view the original this link.  Go fullscreen and be sure to unmute.

Story found in the "Minnesota Weird" section of Bring Me The News.

  1. I've seen several of these parody videos, including a library outreach vehicle and military Humvee. They're pretty good.

  2. I appreciate the very brief homage to a very famous Minnesotan ("Dearly beloved...") in the video!
