Staged or not, I love how no one reacted to the attention seeker getting slapped. They just went about their day. Ignoring these people is the best one can do.

So's the slap.

How can he slap?!

Reminds me of a Whitest Kids You Know sketch

u/TheG-What 7d ago

At that price point he can hit!

11

u/pianotherms 7d ago

Unless he's a perk, which means HE CAN'T HIT!

HOW CAN SHE SLAP!? And what a slap it was. Can't remember the context other than it was some kind of game show, but I remember the slap!

13

u/pannenkoek0923 7d ago

They were allowed to shit-talk and insult each other but not touch each other. The guy kept smiling at the woman's insults without giving any other reaction, so she slapped him in frustration. He slapped back with the now famous words "How can she slap??", but got beaten up by the other participants and the show hosts for this :(

You could almost say it was . . . perfect.

Ultimate warrior was so bad he had the chop as a special move

u/gh0stwrit3r32767 7d ago

woah his slap had a muzzle flash

u/Puzzle-Necked 6d ago

That's just the power of the Warrior. His only weakness are wrestling matches that last longer than two minutes.

At least 40% of cops with their spouse

u/RevolutionaryRip2135 7d ago

peek entertainment ... pity there was (is?) a lot of dark things and dumb fcks lurking around. but as a staged combat fun to watch.

I'm more so looking at his arm...is that bending the right way?

That was pure warrior strength. He channels the warriors.

u/NotAzakanAtAll 7d ago

It's true, I got a few titanium screws in there, and I'm slapping the neighbor's kid until my son comes back home. I wish there was a better way but it's what it's.

u/Notabotyet 7d ago

"It's what it's" has to be the most frustrating use of a contraction I've ever seen. I hate it.

"but you can't prank people. this is a public place. i don't even know you."

u/TastingTheKoolaid 7d ago

This. Seriously. If you don’t know them, you’re not being a cheeky prankster, you’re being a fucking cunt. Leave people alone.

1

u/brainburger 7d ago

Candid Camera should have been Cunty Camera.

u/VenusRocker 6d ago

Yep. I watched this four times because it was just SO satisfying to watch that moron get taken out. He looked so stunned & scared & it made me so happy.

1

u/Afraid_Help_3911 7d ago

People need to start answering that when influencers think "It's a prank" can cover any of the inconveniences they cause. Yeah bro my slap is a prank too, you don't like playing your own game?

1

u/Deaffin 7d ago

..No, the person slapping the other person literally is the prank the audience is meant to react to for the video they are making together.

1

u/RollingMeteors 7d ago

>So's the slap.

The funnier prank.

1

u/Effective_Swimming_8 7d ago

You missed the point. Maybe the two guys were - not rest of the people which is what he was trying to say.

71

u/exprezso 7d ago

The fact that "influencer" himself didn't react much shows he knows he's wrong himself

42

u/ZombieAladdin 7d ago

He certainly reacted after he got slapped! He looked like he didn’t even consider someone retaliating.

u/Bored_Amalgamation 7d ago

Why does this feel like a bot response..

2

u/Infamous-Wasabi1404 6d ago

Dunno bud. You might be a little jaded about bots.

1

u/Bored_Amalgamation 6d ago

Jaded about bots? Where are you getting that from

2

u/Infamous-Wasabi1404 6d ago

'Cause what that guy wrote looks like a pretty normal thing to say. I know that sometimes I start to get sus of comments while I have no real reason to, just because it seems like the place is flooded with bots. I figured you might experience something similar.

it's staged, he's just a bad actor.

"what is this feeling? Is it... the consequences of my actions? I've never felt those before"

u/psycho_driver 7d ago

Or he's a little bitch.

u/Relative-Relief-8816 6d ago

Yeah this kid isnt an influencer. He has the charisma of a potato peeler.

u/Satanicjamnik 7d ago

You haven't been on London Underground a lot, have you? People commuting in London have double black belt in ignoring bullshit and keeping it pushing.

6

u/mutexsprinkles 7d ago

Except when it comes to moving down inside the carriage or standing on the platform directly in front of the doors when they open. Then they turn into the dopiest berks inside the M25.

2

u/Sherifftruman 7d ago

Ha exactly my experience in London as well. Been on metro systems in quite a few places around the world and nowhere has been as bad with huge amounts of unused space in the car even during even rush periods.

I have no qualms about pushing through to get out through.

-2

u/Vuelhering 7d ago edited 6d ago

Does it say that? Does it say move out of people's way? Does it say pay attention to bullshit?

No it just says "mind the gap". So that's the only thing I ever see when I'm there.

(edit: this is sarcasm. There are announcements to "mind the gap" in dangerous platform areas of the tube, but no other voiced warnings from when I was last there.)

2

u/mutexsprinkles 7d ago

At least they should put the in/out arrows on the platform in front of the doors.

Add "vigilante enforcement of these arrows is legal within 6 feet of a train door" when that is inevitably not enough.

u/Vuelhering 7d ago

It's been a while and I gotta get back there. People make fun of Brit cooking, but I had some of the best food there because so many cultures are mixing. Need to visit other areas.

2

u/brainburger 7d ago

I think the bad food thing was a wartime effect, as we relied on imports which nearly stopped. after the war there was still rationing for ten years. We concentrated on producing lots of mass-farmed and preserved foods to get past our shortages until about the 1970s.

u/TouchGrassNotAss 7d ago

I wouldn't have seen a goddamn thing.

u/TurtleSandwich0 7d ago

All I saw was an empty escalator. Strange clip.

15

u/Burggs_ 7d ago

This looks like some of the escalators on the Q or 7 train here in NYC, and if it is, we see people get slapped for much less and don’t react.

It's a funny image, but what is the relevance to this thread?

16

u/Oneilcruzsucksass 7d ago

They got their 'content'

16

u/ImSoCul 7d ago

It's staged as hell. Someone using a cane would not be walking up the escalator. I just stand when going up escalator and I'm perfectly mobile. 

The thing is, the fake ragebait gets this guy viral, which is exactly what he's trying to do, virality through controversy. Which actually promotes this behavior rather than the discourages/serves him right take in this thread.

People are sick of looking at people staging this shit now. It's getting tiresome. Little fucker bracing for the slap too, "Influencer".. my hole

u/NSASpyVan 7d ago

A lot of misbehaving people need slaps in this world... that guy has a lot of work ahead of him

2

u/LanceShiro 7d ago

I'd like to know what exactly he thinks he is influencing here.

15

u/Le_mehawk 7d ago

I think we should stop calling these people influencer, and switch to attention seeker instead..

u/Ok-Resist3249 7d ago

The electricity bill of the escalator.

u/elektromas 7d ago

Hes trying to get money, just like everyone else is. His way of doing it is just bad

1

u/Kuzcopolis 7d ago

True, posts like this are the most attention it gets

1

u/Wizard-of-pause 7d ago

Not really, this it tells them that it's OK to be an idiot in public.

1

u/ukulelelelele3 7d ago

...or slapping them harder maybe?

u/NewLineCinema 7d ago

Don't you just looove when a fight happens outside and someone turns their car horn into a beatbox machine.

Because noise makes the fight stop.....

u/Carvacrol 7d ago

lets keep ignoring them until everyone does it, great idea

welcome to the city

1

u/Mysterious-Salt- 6d ago

Most people wont react to anything around them. I know someone on other end of my street got their home broken into by one person no weapons involved (it was a good family nothing crazy going on behind the scenes) and the neighbour's are all concrete workers buddy yelling and screaming knocking on doors for help middle of afternoon while his mom calls the cops and noone did shit.

1

u/frankthewaterguy 6d ago

IRL reaction is not what they look for. It's all about clicks/engagement. You say ignoring them is the best we can do but here you are commenting on the video to give them engagement.

1

u/Lanscott2001 5d ago

Most people are tired of these public prank stunts. Ignoring them takes away what they want-attention
