AMAZING!!!!

Trisha Paytas was born of some divine origin for she has created perhaps the greatest cinematic work with Viral Video. No other film has truly examined the human condition in quite the same way and to the same depth as this transcendent experience.

The worst Video on Trisha's Channel
alfiemeise22 March 2022
Warning: Spoilers
I reviewed arguably the worst film to be on YouTube today, made by Trisha Paytas (Creator of such clips as: 'What is Gravity was never invented' , 'people either want to be me or be in me' and 'what did Hitler do that was so bad?') who is one of, in my opinion, the most deluded and fame-hungry creators on the platform, 'Viral Video' was a short film created in 2014, only 25 people have rated it on IMDB, and it somehow got 6/10.

The Story follows Trisha (playing herself luckily as I'm sure she would struggle to adopt any other form of personality) as she finds out that her Advisor (Its never made clear in the vast expanse of other plot points that she definitely brings up and made with incredibly high effort) has an obsession with her, her ego is so enormously huge that she wrote a story about someone kidnapping her because they love her too much.

Despite having a net-worth of well over $10 Million, the ridiculously miniscule amount of money that went into this production is astounding, every single shot is clearly one take, the same corridor is used 4 different times heading to different places and there must be less than 5 sound effects that are simply played on loop to attempt completely futile attempts at building suspense. The acting is like something out of an early 2000s Music Video by Justin Bieber. The dialogue seems to be completely improvised every time a character speaks, the constant mumbling and slipping up of lines along with the inability to overlay a sound effect without cutting out all audio before, during and after it is played is testament to the level of effort and integrity put into this piece by Trisha and every other member of the 'crew' The enormous potholes that litter the span of the entire 'film' are unfortunately not big enough to swallow the memories of the film that still reside in my tortured head.

The character of 'the fishy killer' is the best thing about this piece, still it is one of the worst acting performances I've seen, second only to the role that Trisha plays herself, he starts of with a feel of terror and power but then goes on to call the story 'Friggin Poetic' once again tearing all my hopes for a pleasant viewing experience out of my head as painfully as the Audio and Visuals went in.

The ending is the worst part of this egotistical fever dream with Trisha tying up the Kidnapper and slicing his ear off before saying 'and that's how you make a viral video' I genuinely believe you could put two 10-year-olds in a room and say, 'Improvise a kidnapping' and they would produce a better thought out, better effort level and better performed piece within 10 minutes.

Trisha Paytas has converted to more religions than she has made good films.
