Say what you will about the cheesey Zuck and Boz meta presentations/demos, they at least seem like real people even if a bit dorky.

These constant gentle grin + precise hand gestures + identical infomercial vocal tone thing is weird AF.

It's infomercial style. I feel like I'm stuck in an airport next to a looping video about how a frequent flyer plan might be the right choice for me.

Same feeling here. They're precisely hitting every mark, every line and every smile. It's like they're trying too hard. It's so air-tight that they come off as dorks.

But it makes complete sense, these things have always been like this.

not to mention the demonstrations--these do not feel like real people
