same experience as you cuz apparently
the act of Deceit happens a lot more
than some might think you see some other
words for catfishing is called lying
about who you are and we've been doing
this since literally the beginning of
time musolini even tried catfishing as a
German soldier so he could get past the
Switzerland border but there the
partisans was like Hey you ain't German
whoa ain't that you you you almost got
us there for a second bro you almost got
us bro you almost had us
bro ah all right face the wall there are
many ways catfishing can be interpreted
but it's mainly used as a term for being
fooled in online dating and that's cuz
of this dude NE Scooby-Doo and two other
people don't matter created a
documentary back in 2010 titled catfish
describing the experience of Neeve who
had an online relationship with a girl
he met on Facebook who turns out was
catfishing him the documentary got
popular and he got his own TV show andah
everybody already know this show would
be one of the top shows for me whenever
nothing was on Cartoon Network or Disney
Channel and every episode of this show
was a trip each episode about a person
flirting to this person online and them
talking with Neeve trying to figure
figure out if the person on the other
end is really damn and the entire
episode you're on the edge of your seat
curling your toes bouncing up and down
excitedly to see the reveal cuz you know
yourself they ain't going to be their
picture they never are half the time
they come out looking like the cart
Titan and this would be confined the
funniest and also saddest thing I've
ever seen sad cuz you know these people
are looking for love they looking for a
connection whether that be online or in
person they you know they just trying to
look for someone to love man and they
get lied to like that bro that's just
sad man and then sometimes there be
these catfishes that be like man you
really got catfish like that you really
thought Michelle Obama was talking to
you bro and even for the ones that are
actually the real person they're
actually pretty wholesome I actually got
nothing negative to say and after

considering watching that Coco melon for

to relate to thank God I haven't fallen

dark crevices of the sunken place except
not really because at least the people
that got in the sunken place got before
they got down there I can understand why
people get catfish we all want a special
human connection with someone else that
we can relate to Bro even if it's online
bro or sis I don't know who's watching

people could get catfish like I feel bad
for those guys bro I do but that sadness
only comes to an extent you know not
going to lie I don't know how people get
catfish in this modern day like how is
Catfish still a thing like the show
