As a former tv editor, i am also guilty of this music destruction. But holy shit i laughed like crazy at the happy sad hornblasts
-
The autosad+inceptihorn AI it's probably one of the best shitposting ideas I've ever heard
-
As someone who grew up in Florida, where there are alligators (a type of crocodile) in like every lake, the horror music over the crocodile was really funny. They spend 95% of their time lazily floating around, 4% looking like giant dumb dogs abovewater and 1% biting things that practically walk into their mouths because they're so lazy that prey animals just assume they're safe.
-
The inception horn blasts over random footage is literally the memes my zoomer little brother shows me. We're already at that point lmao
-
so, basically, music in reality TV is just like laugh tracks in sitcoms
-
Honestly random footage with the inception horn constantly going off and changing the footage sounds like peak postmodern humor.

Someone should develop a dating show where all of the contestants are composers who have to write a leitmotif (with specified instrumentation) to follow them around, giving everyone the ability to establish their own vibe. I could see myself getting into that. "Wow, this baroque pipe organ number is a bold choice for a character theme. I like this person and hope that they end up getting together with that bland nothing person they're inexplicably pursuing."

16:04 -"I'm tired of being judged" - Goes to a reality where she will be judged
-
"I'm tired of being judged" - goes onto a show with actual judges

6 months later: Tantacrul given complete control of soundtracking a revamped Animal Planet.

Side note, it's not just the music that is so ridiculous. The woman in the white top at 16:07 who is presented as a shy single mom was actually already an accomplished professional singer. Before appearing on America's Got Talent, she had CD and DVD deals, a couple of top40 hits and she had performed (more than once) at the largest venues in the Netherlands.

The dog part really had me cracking up man! You said “we totally missed the part where the dog can READ AND TALK!” Simons face and the broken keyboard music will be forever be engraved into my consciousness
-
The bird eating the worm. * Ominous music starts* ... this was brilliant.

dude have you seen Tik Tok? We're ALREADY at sad/happy NOW, I don't even wanna think about what's next

I’ve always thought that The Bachelor + it’s spin-offs were basically just the equivalent of harem anime for boomers 💀
-
As someone who works in this industry, the music composer is ALWAYS the last step and often times rushed and given either little or too much direction. It’s not easy by any means. A lot of the time, the director will ask for vague styles and use non musical terms to describe what they want such as “epic” or “dramatic” and then rush the composer to finish the entire score in very short periods of times. It’s not the composers fault.

"I was diagnosed with cancer." Me: (actually thinking he's serious) "...and then cholera and then aids." Me: "Oh, it's a joke." "Then my wife and kids died-"

good to know musescore aren't holding you hostage until you fix their design problems

I actually remember when I was little, nature documentaries being almost devoid of music - the narrator would be providing commentary on what was happening, maybe embellish a little to set a certain mood, but you were basically left to just digest the behavior without emotional herding towards a particular interpretation.
