i don't find the "people behaving badly" video genre a classy form of entertainment, but that's all it is.
i suspect the meme status of it is especially relevant due to the global social context of this art - it may be a statement along the lines of "the best reality show is americans".
The most viral "people behaving badly" videos tend to be people that are already disliked by a large portion of society. Fat people, black people, and women. People like them, in part, because they confirm their biases and bigotry.
