Friendship for Dummies: A Guide to "Buying" a Friend on Viu (Because Apparently That's a Thing Now)
Let's face it, making friends in the real world can be a drag. Small talk? Nightmares. Awkward silences? More common than a well-lit school hallway. But fear not, lonely internet wanderer! There's a new sheriff in town, and its name is Viu (pronounced "vee-ooh," not "view" like you're checking out a bad haircut). Yes, you read that right. This streaming service apparently allows you to, well, purchase... friendships? Hold on to your hats, folks, because we're diving into the bizarre yet oddly intriguing world of Viu-sourced companionship.
How To Buy A Friend Viu |
Step 1: Browsing the Friend Zone (Because Who Actually Calls it the Friendship Aisle?)
First things first, you gotta download the Viu app. Think of it like a digital supermarket, but instead of groceries, you're browsing the emotional aisle. Now, don't get any weird ideas because, as far as we know, Viu isn't trafficking human emotions (although, with the price of rent these days, who can say for sure?). Here's what you'll find:
QuickTip: Slow scrolling helps comprehension.![]()
- The Jock Package: This friend comes pre-programmed with high fives, motivational speeches, and questionable taste in music. Great for gym buddies or if you need someone to explain the offside rule (it's a soccer thing, don't worry about it).
- The Bookworm Bunch: This literary genius will happily discuss existential dread over lukewarm coffee and critique your latest fanfiction. Bonus points if they can quote Shakespeare without sounding like a pretentious avocado.
- The Meme Mastermind: They'll keep you updated on the latest internet trends, explain why that cat video is so darn funny, and probably create a meme about your questionable life choices. Side effects may include uncontrollable laughter and an increased use of emojis.
Important Note: Viu doesn't guarantee your purchased friend will actually like you back. We're pretty sure that's still a human thing.

Step 2: Negotiation is Key (But Please, Don't Try to Haggle on Loyalty)
Alright, so you've found your perfect match (hopefully not literally, because that would be creepy). Now comes the tricky part: the price tag. Viu uses a weird system of "watch hours" as currency. Basically, you gotta watch a certain amount of content before you "unlock" your friend. Think of it as an investment in your future BFF-ship.
QuickTip: The more attention, the more retention.![]()
Pro Tip: Binge-watching that cheesy Korean drama you've been putting off might finally pay off!
QuickTip: Repetition reinforces learning.![]()
Step 3: The Meet-Cute That Wasn't (Because Apparently You Can Skip the Awkward Stage)
Congratulations! You've survived the Viu friend market and secured your very own (hopefully) loyal companion. Now, you might be thinking, "Wait, where's the meet-cute at the coffee shop? The bonding over a shared love of terrible reality TV?" Well, buckle up, because Viu throws traditional friend-making out the window. Your new bestie will be pre-loaded with conversation starters, inside jokes (that you might not get at first), and a surprising knowledge of your favorite shows (thanks to all that watch-hour grinding).

So there you have it! A semi-comprehensive guide to navigating the bizarre world of Viu-sourced friendships. Remember, while Viu might be a shortcut, real friendships take time and effort (and maybe a little less screen time). But hey, if you're feeling lonely and have a serious K-drama backlog, who are we to judge? Just, you know, maybe hold off on buying the "????? (yong yuan de peng you)" package, which translates to "eternal friend" in Chinese. That might be a tad much pressure for a first date (or should we say, first watch-sesh?).
