You could've been a bit more chill about it, if you gave him such a "withering look" that he lost interest in showing you something he was excited about and said never mind, then the issue here isn't that he didn't plug in his phone, it's that you were unnecessarily and unpleasantly anal about it and your friend just didn't want to deal with your fixation.

Please do not assume a whole entire 6 years of friendship by just this one comment.

I did say it's okay, and that we can watch it on my desktop, which we then did, and even though DBZ isn't a favorite of mine, we both got excited. His excitement from DBZ, and mine from his excitement.

He knows how I am, how many times I've mentioned how much I fucking hate ads. You, on the other hand, know nothing about me.

Have a good rest of your day.

Bro you redirected him to your desktop over one quick instance of YouTube ads...

A desktop that was a few steps away, with a bigger screen, a sound bar, and a subwoofer.

It's okay. You can stop putting your feet into your mouth now.
