Vocal fry is very annoying, and while it's most closely associated with North American women, there are plenty of men who do it, too. Be it from a man or from a woman, it's fucking grating as hell. This video clip from a 2017-era show called Loudermilk shows one of those never-happens-in-real-life-but-I-wish-it-would encounters between snotty ex-alcoholic Sam Loudermilk (Ron Livingston) and a barista (Maddie Phillips) with a severe case of vocal fry.
While many of the comments to this clip cheer Loudermilk's objection to the girl's annoying way of talking, many other comments are focused on the weird, AI-filter quality of the image. So I guess there's a little something for everybody.
