The first video is touching and the second, humorous.
Both videos, however, perpetuate problematic stereotypes of the male and female genders. The former suggests that women are insecure creatures, forever putting themselves down and looking for reassurance. The latter represents men as narcissistic egomaniacs and women as being harshly critical.

Do note that this post isn't an endorsement of the stereotypes represented. It's merely a post sharing videos that are thought-provoking, engaging and hilarious :]
