Nobody actually wants to take a "silly" photo. @C@ColinandSamir
Summary
A straphanger delivers a hot take on group photos: nobody actually wants to do the "silly one." Kareem pushes back hard, insisting he's "down to clown" when the moment calls for it. The debate spirals into a philosophical argument about where silly photos even end up (the rider admits to having 85,000 photos on his phone but can't find a single silly one). The real tension emerges when they try to demonstrate what a good silly face looks like. Neither can pull it off. Kareem attempts to prove his point by forcing a silly photo right there on camera. The rider hates it. Kareem's frustrated. No resolution, just two people who fundamentally disagree about performative spontaneity.

So, what's your take? You know, when you're taking a group photo and the photographer goes, "Okay, now a silly one." Nobody actually wants to do that.
100% disagree. I like the silly one.
I like the silly one.
What do you do when they say, "Now a silly one."
That's actually not bad.
See, maybe your silly face is bad.
But usually people don't know what to do with that.
Just go like this. Let's do a silly subway tank.
THAT'S NOT SILLY.
IT'S NOT SILLY.
Do it again. Is that it? Is that it? I don't know, man. See, thing is, I'm down to be silly. I'm not anti-silly.
You're down to clown.
I'm down to clown. If I need to clown, I'll clown.
But you want settings to be silly. And I don't think the group photo is ever setting to be silly. And I think the photographer at that point has already done their job. They know they have the shot that someone goes, "All right, now a silly."
Now a silly one.
And then where does that one go?
The silly face is for my personal collection.
Also, what do we even do with photos anymore? You just post them.
You probably have 10,000 photos that you've never posted.
I have 85,000.
Show me a silly one. I can't find a silly one.
That's what I'm saying. They're not readily accessible. Nobody wants them.
I could make a folder.
And I think most people in that setting, they have no idea what to do. And I think we should just cut it.
I mean, I I feel for your people, but I think you're overthinking it. You're thinking about how to be silly. But in order to be silly, must one must be
That's not bad.
Let's do a silly one right now. All right.
No, I don't want to do a silly photo.
I don't want to do it this cut this.
No, we're not cutting this. This is staying in the episode. This is staying in the episode 'cause I'm teaching you how to be silly. Okay, on three. Photos about to be taken. 1, 2, 3.
I hated it. I hated doing it.
WELL, YOU DIDN'T DO ANYTHING.
I did do it.
God damn it.
No silly photos for him.
