While I don't know how well a temporary filling actually holds, you're not supposed to suck on anything when you have temporary dental work, including things like hard candies, and straws.
Without these subtitles I'd have to watch this sub-par entertainment clip for 10 or more times until I heard the joke completely and not laugh. With the subtitles I only have to hear it once to not laugh. So I vote subtitles
Okay I am struggling with finding the problem here. They are not an ugly font. The text has a black outline to be perfectly readable. And they keep pace with the speech almost perfectly. Almost certainly done by hand by a real person... What is bad here?
There is a reason. Standard tv and movie subtitles are far easier for me to follow. Thinking I "be hating for no reason" is so weird. You don't have to agree with me, but there is a reason.
When kids learn to read an alphabetic writic system, they start by deciphering words letter by letter. The next step is recognizing entire words as a unit. Finally, as they become fluent readers, they read entire short sentences at a single glance. It's why yuo cna raed tihs. When the subtitle letters are slowly dripping in, it interferes with this natural fluent reading. Whereas complete sentences allow you to quickly glance back and forth between the subtitles and the rest of the screen.
Avid readers and people who watch a lot of subtitled foreign movies can speed-read 2 sentences within a fraction of a second and then look up again to actually watch the film. No production company ever said "You know what, we need flashier subtitles in fancy typefaces and colors smack in the middle of the screen, with individual letters popping in as the actors pronounce them." This obnoxious nonsense started with social media. It reminds of amateurish "graphic design" in MS Word or Corel Draw.
And the fact that so few people object to this BS is further confirmation that the overall reading ability is going to shit. Statistics also suggest that high-school level reading scores are tanking, and not just in the US. Experts are blaming digital media. Everything is consumed in video or podcast form because text on a brightly lit screen isn't very eye-friendly, especially on a small smartphone screen. Call me old and cranky, but I dread living in a world where people don't read anymore.
Just put the entire statement in the subtitle, like they do for tv and movies. For me, and apparently others as well, the way they are presented here is needlessly difficult to read.
I disagree with "needlessly" here - as the other commenter mentioned it's about comedic timing. Subtitles give away punchlines when they're put up ahead of the audio, which is why I usually turn them off for comedies.
I have seen the reverse complained about though to similar acclaim that putting it all in one black, especially for comedy, often spoils the punchline. This is a matter of not being able to please all of the people all of the time. Someone is going to be upset no matter what you do. I would argue the best improvement here would be to have the text scroll up and fade out as it goes instead of just vanishing as the next line starts.
Probably slow readers while playing the video on mute cause having videos auto unmuted is an earrape minefield.
I am a fast reader and I still despise the fact that the sentence is removed the millisecond the last letter is shown. Let alone if you’re only halfway through the sentence.

I got a tooth pulled and passed on the temp, I don't smile enough for people to notice that I'm missing a tooth

That’s why they start checking insurance coverage before they perform any procedures 😜
RedStarVidal
I would reccomend dentists trust income from blowjobs or feet pics more than assuming an insurance will cover the costs of care.
FinancialRavioli
I normally don't mind the weird-ass subtitles, but theses are indefensible. Who the fuck thought this was OK?

What kind of temporary filling would not hold for a blowjob? A piece of cloth?

With feet pics, like a normal person.

I give my feet pics away to a guy on Grindr who barely speaks English cause his reactions are funny as hell. Its just a damn foot!

Calm down Tarantino.

I don't get it. Feet are so gross I don't think open toed shoes should be allowed in public.
Heisanevilgenius
I... don't get it, but at the same time I get it.
Broken08
Why are beautiful boobs covered and nasty crusty toes allowed to be seen?
Heisanevilgenius
You're just using negative qualifiers to make your point. I don't want to see nasty crusty boobs either.
Broken08
Yes but all feet are gross
Kiares
Eww feet pics, you gotta sell kneepit pics like a normal person.
badkluster04
can we please go back to normal subtitles PLEASE
ruferto
These are fine though?
SpiralRazor
How are these not "normal" subtitles? They run just like CC on the TV.
I guess, no matter the subtitles style *someone* has to bitch about it 🙄
LicensedAdHominem
Have you considered eating your nickname?
RevRagnarok
I have watched TV with CC on for at least 20 years and it has NEVER been letter-by-letter. Ever.
BigDaddysMeatWagon
Did you listen to the words and read the subtitles? The complaint is that they're auto generated and wrong.
jonathantoast
they are WRONG that's what's wrong with them.
ruferto
"Can you explain in detail what is wrong with them?" "No."
Yotarian
Fuck these subtitles.
ruferto
Can't please everyone.
Yotarian
True fact.

It is, however, possible to piss of a whole lot of people by not just using regular damn subtitles hardly anyone will complain about *shrugs*

Fuck _thse_ subtitles, not subtitles in general. Whats up with everyone doing their best to find new ways to fuck them up?
Yotarian
Oh I'm fine with having subtitles. I just think they could have been done better. TV and movies have perfectly fine subs.

For one, humans read most efficiently by entire words or even phrases, not letters.

yeah, this is WAY better than the 1 word at a time flashing on the screen shit. or the ones that change size or color at random.

Yeah those are awful.

The subtitles are created slower than my reading speed, but disappear the instant the last character appears. Very disorienting.
IMakeLotsOfReferencesAndRemakes
Yeah if the last line just scrolled up into a fade out instead of disappearing it would help.

@yotarian 's opinion.

Yes, my opinion and some other's as well.
