YouTube posts “when the asmr is so good you fall asleep,” users roast: "And then wake up because of an ad"

When YouTube itself admits that ASMR is so good that it knocks you out cold, you know that it's real. One minute, you're just hearing some soft whispers and tapping noises, the next, you're waking up in a whole different timezone. By this time, ASMR videos aren't only relaxing - they're low-key teleportation devices.

YouTube attempted to get us psyched about ASMR as the end-all sleep trick, but let's get real - not everyone's on the train. Sure, some folks go right off into dreamland, but others leave feeling wide awake wondering why they just spent 30 minutes listening to someone whisper gently into a crinkly bag.

ASMR may be a chill-out time for some, but for others, it's simply YouTube trying to test our patience - one gentle whisper at a time. As soon as the post went viral, someone took to his X account and commented:

"And then wake up because of an ad"

Nothing awakens you from a tranquil ASMR coma sooner than a quick, full-throated commercial yelling at you about automobile insurance. You're drifting along in a world of soothing whispers and gentle clacking - then, suddenly, you're being 'violently' notified of a special offer on toothpaste. YouTube chill is all play and games until capitalism kicks in the door.

Voilà! YouTube's ASMR post was the internet's new comedy sandbox. Fans did not hold back roasting the notion that ASMR promises sleep, with drops funnier than a whisper-activated wake-up alarm clock.

From commercial-created jump scares to the frustration of discovering the right ASMR video, the responses are going to be even louder than the surprise mid-video commercial.

Netizens have reacted as YouTube posts “when the asmr is so good you fall asleep,”

Other individuals made the post into a comedy show, humorously making jest of ASMR sleep being rudely interrupted by loud ads. Some even asked YouTube why it is banning ASMR channels:

"then why ban them? does it offend you that much?," @HitishiTheFox joked.

"YouTube likes the asmr jokes lolol," @HydratedWaifu hilariously commented.

"Yeah, unless you have to deal with ads. You are trying to wind down, and you hear a Billy Mays (RIP) ad during the video," @animefanatic781 sarcastically expressed.

Some people comment just for the sake of commenting:

"I fall asleep waiting for the skip button on the ads!," @Bobbyboxhead3 commented.

"Spreading salt onto the wound, are we?," @lumiscera wrote on X.

"Youtube wake up!," @CARN0N sarcastically commented.

Here are some more fans' reactions:

"Left Youtube for X. Still Youtube chasing me down on X. No escape, leave me alone!," @whyarewehe43567 commented.

"ear-licking anime Kanye-West ASMR," @JetstreamRodrig wrote.

Ultimately, YouTube's ASMR daydream didn't live up to reality. Others fall asleep harmoniously, others are jolted awake at the sight of an ad promoting chili-flavored toothpaste. Whether ASMR is your go-to lullaby or the background noise during an existential emergency, one thing is certain - sleeping out a YouTube clip is never quite as easy as it seems.
