VIDEO: How A Facebook Update Might Look In Real Life

Facebook is notorious for its updates that change users’ privacy settings without warning. Just when you think you’ve gotten everything set perfectly, with certain info only available to friends—or friends-of-friends—and third party apps blocked, the social network updates the whole damn thing, and you find your info is out for the whole wide world to see. And unless they’re watching closely and carefully, Facebook users may not even be aware anything has changed. It’s almost of as if Zuckerberg and Co. like fucking with us…

California sketch-comedy group Extremely Decent Films has captured the frustration over Facebook updates in a hilarious video uploaded to YouTube May 11. In “A Facebook Update In Real Life,” one Facebook user, “Nick,” arrives home only to find a Facebook tutorial personified waiting for him.

Nick is pretty pissed at the development and tries to express his frustration but the tutorial acknowledges nothing. The Facebook tutorial then explains to Nick how Facebook has made some changes to improve his environment, but in this case the changes are to his sofa, TV and other elements of his home.

In Nick’s new bedroom, he finds a friend and a friend-of-friend he doesn’t even know checking out his music and pictures. The tutorial explains people have more access to Nick through his new “privacy door.” Nick, however, wants none of it. He exclaims he already told Facebook during its last update he didn’t want anyone in his room. Friend and friend-of-friend are quickly kicked out.

Then Nick sees a whole group of strangers knocking on his window, another part of Facebook’s new privacy window.

Facebook even replaced Nick’s cat with a dog in the video, and added ads to his wall décor.

Who hasn’t experienced this kind of frustration when Facebook fucks with your shit time and again? If it were to happen in real life, this video is probably a pretty close interpretation.
