No, it's awful. And if you ride that train line more than once (and I assume many people are riding 2x per day for commuting), even if it was slightly funny the first time, it gets increasingly more annoying the more times you hear it.
I posted a video in another thread in case anyone wants to know how it sounds.
When I first heard Awkwafina over the speakers last week I didn't realize it was a promotion, I just thought I had an especially sassy train conductor. When the doors opened to get on the train and I heard her grating voice I was actually like "WTF NO" in my head thinking I had to listen to this smug conductor who thought we wanted to hear subpar jokes on our packed morning commute.
Some people were laughing or chuckling and looking around at each other with some of her "we're going under water, hold you're breath!" or "hey fellas, stop manspreading!" comments. It was kinda amusing for a bit, just because it's nice to see grumpy New Yorkers lighten up for a second.
But the second week is too much. We've all heard the same sassy comments said in that overly perky voice too many times. There should be a limit to how often it plays. Maybe no longer than a week, or maybe only certain trains play it, so it's like russian roulette haha.
OMG! This is so painful. Its like listening to a marathon of The Nanny. There is only so much of that voice someone can take....and to be stuck on train line when it has problems listening to that voice its basically torture
Hellish. What Henry Miller predicted when he wrote "The Air Conditioned Nightmare". What you guys need to do is petition for this to stop. Why prop up some entertainer's self-agrandizement scheme whose grating voice just worsens the commute experience for everybody. Inconceivably rotten.
