Rule summary

All posts must have a flair: All posts must be flaired for organization purposes.
Try Not To Laugh posts MUST Be Under 1 minute long, and actually videos with audio.: For any post that's tagged Try Not To Laugh, they must be a video with audio and must be under 1 minute long. No pictures or gifs are allowed. Also, no Youtube links are allowed for TNTL submissions.
Posts must be related to this subreddit / FreshCutSlim (TNTL submissions are the only exception): Although this subreddit is mainly used as a Try Not To Laugh submission page. Any other posts that are not for TNTL submissions must be related to the subreddit, or related to Fresh Cut Slim in some way. This is not a sh*t posting sub.
TNTL Posts Must actually be funny.: Humor is subjective, So this rule will be a bit lax compared to others, however posts that are clearly unfunny will be removed to stop spam.
Videos/Clips must follow Youtube's TOS. That means no showing (Injury's, NSFW content, racism, etc.): Youtube is strict with what it allows. Any clips submitted must fall within Youtube's TOS, because if they are in a try not to laugh video they will have to meet the TOS. That means you cannot show the following: 1. People getting injured 2. NSWF content (content that may require censoring) 3. Minors Drinking Alcohol 4. Hate Speech / Racism 5. Misinformation You can google all the rules because there are more, but the above is a summary.
No Brain Rot: This sub has been taken over by brain rot. I understand some of it can be funny but its gotten to the point where there is too much of it and the majority is not funny. Posts that have brain rot now risk being deleted.
No NSFW Content.: If it's violent or overly sexual to where something would have to be blurred or censored, it's not allowed unless it is censored.
No AI Content: Unfortunately we are no longer allowing AI content to be posted on the subreddit because of spam.
No Double Posts / Spam: If you submit a post multiple times or post the same clip as someone else (within a short time frame) you are creating spam, we are trying to avoid that on this subreddit. If you are posting unrelated topics or content under a flair that has nothing to do with the flair, that is also spam.
No Political Posts Unless They Are Very Funny: Politics divides people and this is a community that's is meant to bring people together. With that being said we have decided to not allow political posts unless they are actually very funny and have no intent to upset people based on politics. If you want to post political things please visit another subreddit.

Works well

An original, self made funny clip under one minute, uploaded directly with audio and flaired for Try Not To Laugh
A short video that fits the show's format and would genuinely make viewers laugh, not a disguised ad
A fan made piece of content clearly connected to Fresh Cut Slim, submitted under the right flair
A clip that would be safe for a YouTube reaction video, with nothing that needs censoring

Avoid

Posting without a flair, since every post needs one for organization
Submitting a Try Not To Laugh video over one minute long, or posting a picture or gif under that tag
Dropping a YouTube link as your TNTL submission instead of an uploaded video with audio
Posting off topic content under a flair that has nothing to do with it, which the rules count as spam
Posting the same clip twice, or reposting a clip someone else just submitted
Uploading anything AI generated, since AI content is banned because of past spam waves

What r/freshcutslim Is For

This is a fan community built around Fresh Cut Slim, a music artist and entertainer. Most of the activity is people submitting Try Not To Laugh video clips, which the description says may get reacted to on his YouTube channel or featured as fan content on his website. By submitting a clip you are giving permission for it to be used that way, so posting here means contributing to the show, not just talking at an audience. Beyond the clip submissions, the rules say other posts must relate to Fresh Cut Slim or the subreddit itself, so this is not a general hangout. The people posting here are fans who want to appear in a video or share something about the creator.

Rules That Matter Before Posting

Flair is not optional here, because “All posts must have a flair” means every single post needs a tag or it is out. If you touch the Try Not To Laugh format, “Try Not To Laugh posts MUST Be Under 1 minute long, and actually videos with audio.” decides everything: it has to be a real video with sound, under sixty seconds, uploaded directly, since YouTube links are not allowed for TNTL submissions. “Posts must be related to this subreddit / FreshCutSlim (TNTL submissions are the only exception)” is the rule that stops random self promotion, because anything off topic has to connect to Fresh Cut Slim somehow. “No AI Content” bans AI generated posts outright, and “No Brain Rot” risks deletion for low effort trend content. “No Double Posts / Spam” also catches posts that sit under a flair they have nothing to do with, which is the trap a marketer would fall into. Finally, “Videos/Clips must follow Youtube's TOS. That means no showing (Injury's, NSFW content, racism, etc.)” sets the content bar, alongside “No NSFW Content.” and “No Political Posts Unless They Are Very Funny”.

What To Post

Be honest with yourself about why you are here. This community exists for fans making content for a specific creator, so a good post is a genuine contribution to that. The clearest fit is a short, funny, original video clip uploaded directly, flaired as a Try Not To Laugh submission, under sixty seconds, with real audio. If you are a founder or marketer, the only honest angle is being a fan first: make something entertaining that fits the show's format and would genuinely make someone laugh, not a pitch with a joke stapled on. Rule “TNTL Posts Must actually be funny.” is enforced loosely by the mods' own admission but clearly unfunny posts get removed to stop spam, so quality is the filter. If your post is not a TNTL submission, it has to relate to Fresh Cut Slim or the subreddit in some real way. Pick the correct flair before you submit, because every post needs one.

What To Avoid

The fastest removals come from skipping the flair, because “All posts must have a flair” is the first rule. A TNTL post over one minute long, a picture or gif where a video should be, or a YouTube link as your submission all break “Try Not To Laugh posts MUST Be Under 1 minute long, and actually videos with audio.” Anything with no connection to Fresh Cut Slim breaks “Posts must be related to this subreddit / FreshCutSlim (TNTL submissions are the only exception)”, and the rule adds that this is not a sh*t posting sub. AI generated content is banned under “No AI Content”, and low effort trend content risks deletion under “No Brain Rod”. Wait, the exact name is “No Brain Rot”. Spamming the same clip, double posting, or using a flair unrelated to your content breaks “No Double Posts / Spam”. Clips showing injuries, NSFW material, minors drinking, hate speech, or misinformation break “Videos/Clips must follow Youtube's TOS. That means no showing (Injury's, NSFW content, racism, etc.)” and “No NSFW Content.” Political posts only survive under “No Political Posts Unless They Are Very Funny”, which is a very high bar. The description itself warns that posts judged clearly unfunny get removed under “TNTL Posts Must actually be funny.”
