The Bachelor is a show where men named Ben or Brad date about 28 different women named Lauren or Amber until selecting just one to propose to.

It's very strange and very popular.

Over the course of the show's 20 seasons, many behaviors have revealed themselves time and again amongst the bachelors and the contestants. The "peeling back of emotional layers," the "strong one-on-one connection" and sentences that begin with "honestly" are all official show tropes at this point.

On that point, our latest Mashable Humor video is all about how the language of The Bachelor would go over in reality.

Prepare to get vulnerable.

BONUS: Dating apps are getting overwhelming
