Influencers are stupid
Dive into the hilarious world of wannabe influencers in this parody short, as Anirban takes us through the highs (and mostly lows) of his journey to internet fame! With dreams of becoming the next big name on social media, Anirban tries every trick in the book—awkward product endorsements, fake deep quotes, botched reels, and all the aesthetic photoshoots he can manage. But when likes don’t skyrocket and his follower count stays stagnant, the reality of “the hustle” starts to hit hard. Watch as he grapples with the influencer grind, accidentally blinds himself with face wash, and contemplates everything from lip-syncing to neon hair, all in the name of digital glory. Will he make it, or is he doomed to face the existential dread of life without likes? This parody nails the ridiculousness of Gen Z’s influencer culture, complete with laughable tropes and painfully relatable moments. Perfect for anyone looking for a laugh at the absurdity of social media stardom!
