Roller coasters are having a bit of a viral moment. Just recently, I wrote about a guy who was banned from all Six Flags parks after eating Chicken McNuggets on a roller coaster. Now, as spotted by Futurism, a South Korean man has finally answered a question that has plagued theologians and philosophers for centuries: Will anyone notice if you’re riding a roller coaster during a Zoom meeting?
The answer is absolutely, of course, yes, without question.
And it is just as funny to watch as you imagine it to be.
A video making the rounds online shows South Korean municipal worker Nam Young-sik attempting to attend what looks like a routine video meeting while strapped into a roller coaster.
His laptop in front of him and a makeshift green screen behind him that fills his little Zoom window with a fake background that looks like something out of a Pottery Barn catalog, he tried to maintain the illusion that he’s just at home, dutifully working, paying the utmost attention during the meeting, all while trying to maintain a straight face and an even tone while enduring the coasters dips, high-speed straight shots, and a series of dizzying swirls.
Where the McNugget stunt was the work of a single YouTube creator looking for a viral hit, this particular stunt was a part of a marketing campaign produced by Korean broadcasting station Ulsan Nam-gu Gorae to promote South Korean tourism. The video itself is an ad for a new whale-themed roller coaster at the Jangsaengpo Whale Culture Special Zone.
Knowing that kills some of the fun, but the video itself is so well executed that the whole thing being a tourism board ad hardly matters.
