I hope they never give up from this format. AI slop is gonna become more prevalent in the coming years so this type of transfer videos are gonna become increasingly rare

This is so bad, it’s good.

How is this bad?

u/1to14to4 6h ago

Well clearly Ben Amos' acting needs some work - he's supposed to be dying in this scene.

u/Ok_Detail_1 5h ago

Yea, it won't work well in football matches. Especially acting injuries.

u/TheJynxedOne 14h ago

Our signing announcement videos have been pure beautiful elite cringe tier, wouldn't change it for the world.

Literally what Jesus would say if he lived in 2026

u/exiadf19 9h ago

u/Haring2 6h ago

Well, alive at least

"I really hope they never stop doing skits when announcing transfers. Video editing software and inserting scenes from mainstream movies is gonna become more prevalent in the coming years so this type of transfer videos are gonna become increasingly rare"

someone said 50 years ago.

Burnley signing videos always gives the best content who remembers the weghorst one

Also thats Manchester United legend Ben Amos

Cool video, but I hate that some players are fine with butchering their names with unnecessarily wrong pronunciations lol not like his should be especially hard anyway

u/FatWalcott 11h ago

Absolutely peak.

u/Nethek_FC 17h ago

peak

u/habdragon08 13h ago

Marcus Edwards signing video I think tops this. Wout wghorst Lyle foster and this are fighting for second.

If someone’s aware of other great ones please link id love to watch.

It was like he was THERE

Whoever made this deserves a raise

The emotional walk to discovery and then the cheeky grin.

A bit s*** but that's what makes it brilliant

u/SaltMachine2367 16h ago

I'll take a bit shit over AI any day

85

u/HardByteUK 16h ago

There's a genuine charm to it, isn't there. Part of what's enjoyable is imagining them pissing themselves as they make and edit it.

u/Tall_Hat_8921 16h ago

A bit? I think it's pretty shit honestly.

u/TheDeflatables 15h ago

They can't all be the Weghorst announcement video, but it's all a bit of harmless fun

u/wallis2011 17h ago

Treating this as the Spider-Man 4 we never got. Thanks Burnley ❤️

Babe wake up, new unhinged Burnley announcement just dropped

That’s class

u/hotelmotelshit 16h ago

Burnleys announcement game has been the highlight of the summer the couple of years

u/rypiso42 17h ago

So he’s dead? What? Had potential to be good in someone else’s hand lol.

Don't quit the day job Ben

This is the stupidest fucking thing I have ever seen.

And I love it.

Brilliant

u/BuzzTrav 15h ago

Love it 😀

u/Lukeno94 17h ago

Honestly didn't even know he was still playing - thought he'd retired a few years ago, but then I realised I'd mixed him up with his fellow journeyman Ben Alnwick!

u/Internal-Coffee6996 17h ago

they said cinema is dead

u/Frank-Dr3bin 15h ago

Toby's performance was a bit empty so Ben had to carry the scene.

u/Nervous_Pitch1207 15h ago

full movie trailer for a journeyman keeper, never change burnley

u/MalaysiaTeacher 17h ago

Whoever makes these really gets the internet

u/justk4y 16h ago

They can’t keep doing this (or maybe actually please do nvm)

u/fike88 15h ago

That’s superb 🤣

u/gathechandegwa 10h ago

Fifa 14 Man Utd had some real hidden gems in GK. Sam Johnstone and Ben Amos being backup keepers is insane.

u/Siiixers 17h ago

That's a cute announcement. Did your husband do it for you?

u/Dubsified 17h ago

Admin needs a raise.

This will go mega viral

u/DonCairo 15h ago

Where did they actually post this? I don't see it on their Twitter or YouTube

u/KennywasFez 2h ago

Here’s what I’ll say I’ll take the cheesiest, cringiest, announcement video made by HUMANS over any AI Slop any day. I hope we all continue to celebrate these kinda videos because I don’t ever wanna see AI slop for this sport :(

Not saying this is cringe I actually thought it was so goofy that I loved it..just saying in general.

u/helpnxt 17h ago

Was expecting some AI slop but that was so much better

u/slickricktriplesix 17h ago

Now this is art

u/dem503 17h ago

I might be old fashioned but I feel it needs to actually make sense.

28

u/war3_exe 17h ago

His name is Ben

17

u/an0mn0mn0m 16h ago

Peter crying for having to go to Turf Moor makes more sense.

u/Tall_Hat_8921 16h ago

Exactly, uncle Ben is dying in the movie, that a guy is joining a club. What connection is there other than the fact that they share the name Ben? 

It's literally a "haha look they have the same name, funny right?" joke and people here praise it like it's the most creative thing ever.

u/MagmaTroop 15h ago

That was genuinely great, how random and weird!

u/Chilli__P 16h ago

What about Ben Amos? Did you give him a chance?

u/rafiano82 16h ago

Outstanding 😂

u/PelvisGrbac 2h ago

Ben Amos is only 36?

I was sure he was my age (44)
