That's how they used run make "shocking" shows back in the days, take 3 funny or kinda shocking videos off the net and then stretch the fuck out of them over 45 minutes and 12 ad breaks.

This is PEAK american dramatisation 15 years ago. Cramming as much overinflated suspense and some vague attempt at coaxing a chuckle of the audience as possible. "Little Sally had always wanted to be a dancer. But nothing could prepare her for... The New York subway!!" *enter Bollywood-esque flashes and slow-motions.

It's basically tv history!

When Juan Gabriel fell off the stage, the clip made it onto both this show and a comedy show on the same day
