Put a camera man and a man with a mic on the street and seemingly "normal" people turn into complete jackasses. Its like a bug-zapper.

Same reason why people have to stick their tongues out and make dumb faces whenever a digital camera shows up. I swear, I haven't seen a normal candid photo in years. Every goddamn photo people have to make this specific face. Since when does having a good time and taking a picture require you stick your tongue out sideways. BOOORING. Find something new. It's old.

They don't turn into complete jackasses, they ARE complete jackasses and the camera just shows it.

And there's some fascination with holding the camera at odd angles.

OMG I'm like totally like oh MY gawd! holding the camera completely not straight, that is soooooo artistic and creative. God I love myself.
*squeal*

I assume this reaction is controlled by the same part of the brain that makes people adopt ridiculous speech patterns when around pets or babies.

i like the jackasses at ball games. crowds yelling and waving arms as the camera passes by are one thing, but these chuckleheads are another. they're the ones sitting behind home plate or another spot frequently on camera, phone glued to the side of their head, waiting someone at the house to say "okay wave now!!"

"huh huh huh, i'm on da TEEvee."
congratulations, you went to a large, televised event and succeeded in being one of tens of thousands on tv. not content with that, you had to single yourself out as a retard.

the very best ones have no idea where the camera is, so when the phone says "wave now!!" they wave in at least one wrong direction.
