YouTuber Lilly Singh uploaded a video that revealed her take on the massive impact Shane Dawson’s docuseries over social media star Jake Paul is having on the platform.
The two-minute video is edited in the style of a thriller/horror film, likely a play on Dawson’s widely-debated approach of his series.
In the video, a mock YouTube HQ is overtaken with an avalanche of views and comments from Shane’s latest upload, comparable to an approaching horde of zombies or the dinosaurs of Jurassic Park.
“You guys, you have to get back to work,” Singh said to her faux employees, who were collectively hypnotized by Shane’s video.
“But it’s an eight-part series,” they replied in monotone.
