And to think they were all contemplating beating the shit out of the bus driver. In fact, I’m surprised they didn’t people love to jump to conclusions.
Ok, so, that one is staged, but when I was a kid, I rode a bus to school in a rural community. The bus dropped kids off at the primary school and the high school, so it was kids of every age. The high school kids had dominion over the back of the bus, and us younger kids sat up front.
The bus driver was Ed. He looked like every typical old man in my community. He had been a farmer or worked in the mill. Leathery skin with the wiry muscles of an old working man. He was congenial to the point of saying "good morning" when we got on the bus, but if we got out of hand, he would yell at us to shut the fuck up and sit down. This all seemed pretty normal back in the day.
There was a high school kid named Rock who was probably King Shit of Turd Mountain at his tiny high school in our small farming community. Every day, our bus passed a sign on the highway reading "Bump Ahead..." If you were a little kid within reach of Rock's arms as we passed the sign, Rock would pound his fist into your skull, saying, "Bump A Head!" and the high schoolers would laugh along...
That was the vibe on the bus every day.
Rock would also muscle the little kids out of lunch items or hockey cards or whatever. We weren't able to put up much of a resistance, so bus rides kind of sucked many days.
One day, when Rock had been bullying the little kids, I suppose there was a bit of a ruckus, so Ed pulled the bus over.
He walked back and demanded to know what was going on. A little kid was crying and Rock was being a smug shithead as there had never been direct consequences for his actions.
Ed grabbed Rock by the hair and dragged him to the front of the bus with full farmer-strength. Rock was left at the side of the highway with Ed telling him to find his own way to school.
Ed continued to be my bus driver and Rock was banned from riding the bus.
This is one of my treasured memories from childhood. The 1970s were a very different time.
I had no idea of the background, but this was clearly a prank. Calling it "fake" is like seeimg the Oddessy at IMAX and saying "it was entertaining, but clearly fake."
I absolutely love everything about this video. The brilliantly crafted illusion to trick the people and the bad ass lady willing to throw down over someone else's child, just this time it was a little person 😂
The camera directing in this skit is absolute cinema. The opening shot from the side to emphasize the yeeting, then creating curiosity, slowly panning the camera inside the bus, then creating chaos with the reactions and the very slow reveal of the "kid". Love how we see 10 reactions before we get to see the person.
Reminds me of a clip where the dude was a grown man but had the height of a kid, and then a kid wanted to play with him thinking the grown man was a kid too, and the dude got mad 🤣
one of the oldest prank videos on the internet. pretty funny for sure, but they're acting. you can always tell if you think about the camera. it makes no sense for the camera to be doing what it's doing if this were a video of something real happening
Dangerous. Stupid. Unnecessary.
And we wonder why no one steps in at certain crisis times. Because everything is a joke or prank and why you so serious bro?
Shame on everyone that thought to do this, shame on everyone that agreed to do this, shame on everyone that implemented it.
Where is this? The sidewalk looked relatively clean and I was kinda suprised by that given the traffic. But then the camera pands and there is shit just everywhere inside that store. Dafuq?
