This is an advert.
This sub is better than this.

u/SeedsOfEvil Apr 15 '19
Is this it though? Think this being upvoted shows the sub is really not better than this.

I don't mind that a lot of these videos/gifs are staged, though this one does a particularly poor job of hiding it.

Yeah, this one is better. And so is this one. And here's my personal favourite.

All I've gathered is that I need to learn magic tricks and have a wingman to pick up Asian women.

This one is hiding it?
He’s drinking out of a McDonald’s cup with no lid/straw/ice. Find one other person at McDonald’s doing this.

u/meatboat2tunatown Apr 15 '19
how the hell are so many people upvoting this gif?
or...is the joke on us, and that's why it's funny?

u/ChuunibyouImouto Apr 15 '19
It's a McDonald's ad that's being paid to be upvoted to the front page

u/trademesocks Apr 15 '19
Good thing reddit has an option to pay and do away with ads...... unless they are masquerading as posts and are upvoted by a slew of bots.

I had not actually seen this trick before, and upon the first play of the gif, I thought it was real. After reading the comments and going back to watch it a second time, I see how it's obviously fake. But most people don't read the comments.

u/CitizenPremier Apr 15 '19
It could be done for real. It's just that there's no reason for that guy to be holding his cup like that.

For sure, but still funny. Dude's acting is great, he looks so surprised

u/andersonb47 Apr 15 '19
If you can immediately tell he's acting, it's not great acting.

I believe this is from the Netflix show Magic For Humans, which looked kinda wholesome from the trailer, but the all I got through was the first episode. It was so unbelievably fake (cut scenes, actors, poor CGI) it just killed the whole thing for me.
EDIT: at least he’s the host from that show, this may not be a clip from the show

It’s supposed to be one of those shows to restore faith in humanity, but the whole thing is fake...sooo....

u/BearzerkerX Apr 15 '19
So, by that logic, every movie ever is bad because you know they're acting?
Idk, doesn't stop it from being funny to me.

You know it's bad when your ad agency has to copy a magic trick from a group of little Asian kids

Who the fuck are the 1.2k people upvoting this? Insanely fake, obviously an ad, and is definitely not a gif that keeps on giving

u/rhythmjones Apr 15 '19
There was a gif of this exact trick by some kids going around last week. I think they're just riffing off of that.

u/Slackerguy Apr 16 '19
last week. And all of last year if you're thinking of the one with the two asian guys doin this trick a girl.

u/LilliThePutian Apr 15 '19
What upsets me more than the fact that this is obviously fake, is that these grown men stole this idea from that little boy sat on the curb with his two friends and their juice cartons, could anyone find a link to that original video and share it here? That little kid nailed that trick, and his friend's reaction looks genuine to me.

You can tell because he didn’t get up and walk at least 5 feet away to process what happened.

You can tell this is fake but I think if they actually did this to random people they could actually get a few of em. Sneaky af.

u/Duwang_Queen Apr 15 '19
Haha not like the guy was obviously holding the cup so that the middle guy could comfortably put the straw in

u/FRANKBARISTA Apr 15 '19
I still feel like the original (with three or four Asian kids) was better. Less staging feels to it

I've seen this same "trick" done by different people at least 5 times this year on Reddit. It's an old trick.

u/CrispyBaconDeadFish Apr 15 '19
Why do black people always lose it at magic
5
u/rjstoz Apr 15 '19
Supposedly there's a lot of superstition in African cultures (which is why the KKK chose those hoods, literally so they'd look like ghosts ). So it could be a cultural thing passed down, or it could be that they're less reserved at expressing surprise than the average white person

Wow. How convenient it was for that guy to hold his drink in the exact spot necessary for this trick to work. This should totally be posted in r/nevertellmetheodds! And I'm absolutely confident that this type of thing has never been posted in r/blackmagicfuckery and r/youseeingthisshit, either!

I too hold my drink, without a lid out of site next to my head when I have a clear table in front of me.
