MUST WATCH: Viral Video Puts Attention-Hungry Celebrities in Their Place
A new video that mocks celebrities for their “courage” during the COVID-19 pandemic is the one thing we all need right now.
You’ve likely gotten sick and tired of seeing millionaire celebrities dishing out fortune-cookie wisdom and claiming to be suffering just like us inside their spacious mansions.
That inspired Australian podcaster Greta Lee Jackson to create this tongue-in-cheek video, in which she and other people thank celebrities for their “sacrifices.”
While Ellen is featured, the video includes mostly Australian celebrities. The point, however, is obvious, and pretty damn funny.
Here’s the video, posted to Twitter with the statement “Thanks celebrities, for everything you do for us.”
Although Jackson isn’t a celebrity (yet), she does host the FAIL podcast on Australia’s PodcastOne, and the video has been viewed over half a million times on YouTube alone. Apparently, it hit a nerve.
HotAir explains who the less-recognizable celebrities are.
The first thing you’ll notice is that most of the celebrities mentioned in this clip probably aren’t familiar to you. That’s because this video was made by an Australian and features mostly Australian stars. Amanda Keller is apparently from the Australian version of Dancing with the Stars. Manu Feildel is a chef who starred on MasterChef Australia and on a British show called My Kitchen Rules. Sam Armytage is an Australian TV presenter. That last clip of the guy dancing on the beach? That’s a group of TV stars from an Australian show called Packed to the Rafters.
Jackson isn’t the only one sick of the famous people. “Star Trek: Discovery” actor Anson Mount even called out fellow celebrities for their behavior.
