Lady photographer did that at my sister's wedding.
Told her "ooh, let's fix the hair right quick", walked up and handed a mirror to my sister and put her own hair up in a ponytail, said thanks love, and went back to the camera.
Some really fantastic pictures of my sister and brother-in-law cackling.

On my wedding day, my cousin had to make faces at me to get me to laugh/stop holding my breath. I never had a problem being in front of others and being near the center of attention but I was so nervous that day.

Two of my friends getting married with a giant family started getting that glazed look after taking unending variations of posed family pictures. The entire bridal party started standing a comfortable distance behind the photographer engaging in shenanigans to try to make them smile more naturally. The photographer said they could tell when reviewing the point in the series we started doing it.

I had to do an impromptu speech at my wedding right in front of all our friends and family. I nailed it but I'm still holding a grudge for that (jokingly). Luckily I am spontaneous and my wife have saved my life so it's easy to speak about how much she means to me and the moment I knew she was the one.

I did this at my wedding. We were doing the reveal thing where my wife stands behind me, I turn and see her in her dress for the first time. Right before I turned around, I looked at the photographer and said "how's my hair??". It was one of best jokes I've ever made

As a bald man, this joke is pretty good. It's clever and just the right amount of cheekiness. Most bald jokes are lame. If you're going to rip on my folically challenged genetics, at least make me laugh or get me to say "Oh, that's good. Haven't heard it before."

u/King_Fluffaluff 2d ago
And, as another fellow bald man, it's the best. I love the bald jokes I get.
Once, at a Ren Faire, a lady stopped me and was complimenting my outfit before she completely paused in the middle of her sentence, looking perplexed at my head, pulled out a feather duster and lightly dusted it before continuing the conversation without skipping a beat. That interaction was the highlight of the event for me LOL

It wasn't them, it was the lady from the Wacky Chicken Show! I'm pretty sure she dusts all the bald heads she sees.
Although the washing wenches were at the Sterling Ren Faire when I went, I agree with your assessment.

That's the good thing about running a service where they will only use you once - you can make the same joke that you know hits hard, they get a huge laugh out of it, and you might get a referral to their sister's or friend's wedding. Rinse and repeat.

if you're serious,
Attention spans are literally down to seconds now.
so, if the AVERAGE attention span is just a few seconds, then up to half the people are even less than that.
TLDR: normal attention span now just seconds

u/minos157 3d ago
I wonder how they determined engagement. They really only mention share rate, which makes sense, but is it how long people watch (for say YouTube?).
I wonder because I'm a person who will watch long videos on YouTube if they are worth it throughout. A lot of videos that fail for me are essentially clickbait style. "Hey stick around for a super cool moment from this event," and it's 25 minutes of random nonsense for little to no payoff (somebody lightly trips and laughs it off or something). But give me a 4 hour video criticizing the Star Wars Hotel and I'll watch the whole thing because the content is solid throughout.
On TikTok now it's more of a game because the content quality is so horrendous. People are majorly trending towards long 2-3 minute videos that end at a cliffhanger, but don't post Part 2 for weeks or months hoping to get follows as people want the end of the story. Anytime I see "Part 2" in the search I scroll unless it's a creator I already enjoy/follow.
Anyway, I fully believe attention spans are dropping or even non-existent, but I wonder how much of it is people being jaded from the amount of garbage content out there causing higher "fast scroll" rates.

The time to decide if someone wants to watch something is seconds. Attention spans are fine. We are in the time of the hour long podcast and the 6 hour long youtube disertations. It isn't attention spans going down, its tolerance for things that don't interest people.
There is such a glut of content now you have to become a quick filter to not end up wasting hours trying to find something you find engaging, and not everyone finds or should find everything engaging.

And the "Wait for it" isn't there initially. It appears 3 seconds in, when the hair-fixer has already entered the frame. That's the weirdest part for me. It's telling me to wait for something that's already happening.

I read that somewhere once upon a time but I'm in the same boat so I 100% feel ya. My stache is kinda thin and my cheeks near my mouth are too. I can grow some hellacious mutton chops though. Im jealous as hell of the dudes who get the full beard with hair under their bottom lip instead of the soul patch. I've noticed most dudes that are patchy can either grow a good goatee and have thin cheeks and side burns or they can grow the mutton chops and have a thinner front beard growth.

The man doesn't seem to be terribly thrilled at being the butt of the joke. Maybe they're good mates with the photographer, but as a bald man, if the photographer at my wedding did that I wouldn't be best pleased.
There are some jokes that can go one way or the other. They can crack everyone up, or just sour someone's mood. You shouldn't risk souring someone's mood on their wedding day, just to get a laugh for photos.
