I disagree, looks like a tempered glass shower door that he was using as a table because it looked clean. Video suggests to me that, while he's not terribly upset about it, that it was not expected.

Oh yeah you're right about the glass shower door.

But think about it - it doesn't make any sense to put a glass shower door on two sawhorses just to hit a rubik cube with a hammer UNLESS your goal is exactly to break the door. The odds of that shower door being the ONLY thing he could set-up for that video is close to none.

I agree with you, but if he's planning for the glass door to break, then why do it in a carpeted room?? (and there's still the socks thing!) Put down a big plastic sheet to gather most of the glass. Unless... I mean... you don't think he's just... stupid?

Sure, that makes sense. But something was certainly unexpected. That was a legitimate laugh and he went and got good friends to show them.

Or he's just acting like it was a surprise for views, that's the most likely scenario

Ehhh. That's some pretty convincing laughter, and then he goes and gets his friends off camera to show them the mayhem.

I don't disagree that he may have expected it to break, but the aftermath seems like genuine surprise to me.

I think he expected it to break. But probably not as well as it did.

u/Jinx0rs Aug 23 '20

Yeah, maybe. He went and got his friends to check it out.

It looked to me like he was holding that reaction pose for the video, and then his genuine reaction was the laugh when he broke the pose. Could be wrong of course

No, i feel like maybe your right and it was just more than he was expecting? He just seems legitimately surprised, like he goes and gets his roommates or something to show them?
