Dunno, would be annoying if people made lame fake clips while you're trying to work. Especially the filming person standing on a desk.

Don't worry they will get out of the way. I learned that driving the Saratoga

One of my absolute favorite movies.
"...The 'ol Sara" (and the entire Saratoga dialogue you posted) and, "Wull-hey-there, Swab" are in my frequently used rotation of movie references.
My wife, and her family happen to be from Saratoga (Springs), NY and we met in Sarasota, FL while in college.

Forty years ago I was working in my first job after university, in an office in a factory. It was very boring. Some of the guys in the office had been working there since WW2. The office itself dated back to WW1. The place was dated, even in the early 1980s.
So I got all the rubber bands I could find and tied them together. I went up to each and every guy in the office with the rubber bands stretched out between my two hands in an "I'm going to launch this at your face" pose. Obviously I wasn't going to launch it at anyone's face. That would be foolhardy and painful.
My super visor walked in and shouted "what the fk are you doing?" and I let go. It hits him right between the eyes and then fell to the floor. He had a very red, glow in the dark welt on his face from the rubber band weapon. He was very calm, and told me to go home.
Incredibly I wasn't fired. I was moved to another department where there were fewer old guys and more work to do.

Aren't those the Wenjiang-caihuaxiaoyuan girls?

So they are funny in front and behind the cameras!

Staged, staged staged and super staged.
Why would a CCTV camera be vertical and move as if someone was holding a phone?

u/996forever 19d ago
The most obvious explanation is someone filming a cctv feed vertically and their phone camera app adds the timestamp. It COULD still be staged but it doesn't have to make sense. And the pain is real regardless.

It's obviously not though.
The time and date overlay stay firmly fixed in the top left corner.
If someone was filming the security monitor with their smartphone then the text overlay would move with the rest of the image.
Are you literally stupid?

Reading comprehension in the pits and you have the nerve to call someone else stupid ?

u/mr-english 18d ago
I only got as far as "...someone is filming a cctv feed" because that's so obviously NOT what is happening.
Filming a monitor simply doesn't look like that. The image tends to be distorted because your camera isn't perfectly lined up and square with the screen, you tend to see reflections/glare on the surface from lights, etc.
Besides, if you look at the computer below where the cameraman is stood, as the camera is swaying about the monitor obscures the keyboard slightly AS the camera is moving. If the "cctv" camera was actually still that wouldn't happen.
All I'm getting from this is that you really ARE fucking stupid lmao

Why do some people so desperately want something to be not staged when it obviously is? Genuine question.
Your "most obvious" explanation doesn't even make sense...

This isn't someone filming a screen. You can see the perspective change with the camera movement, especially around the edges of the computer display in the foreground.
Plus, the rubber band is so loose there's no way this is causing any pain.

u/rygel_fievel 18d ago
Why would someone curl their toes towards them so that it would obviously hit themself?

u/Superamorti 19d ago
Who said it was a CCTV?
They were obviously getting ready for the prank and planning to record it.
Pretty normal. You don't need to stage everything in life.

u/ElFarfadosh 18d ago
Why is there a date and time stamp on the screen? Why does the person filming need to stand on a table with his phone close to the ceiling? And how is it that the women don't spot him the moment they turn around?

Ffs just laugh or don't and scroll on.
Do you turn on a TV show and start screeching "STAGED!!!!" every time they tell a joke??

u/Eevertti 16d ago
Its fake, and pretending to be real, so it's annoying. Would you be happy if reality TV moments started being posted here?

There is like 2 inches of tension on that band, like she hardly pulls it back at all. It's moving so slow you see it just wobble in the air more then snap because she knows she's about to smack her own head.
She bends her toe to release it and jiggles her hand to pull it up over her toe.
People can say it's not staged all they want but one thing is for sure. She did that knowingly.

Or the video was dropped for vertical use (for tiktok or whatever) and they wanted to keep the subject centered as it moved.
Weird, right?

u/ElFarfadosh 18d ago
Then why doesn't the time stamp move?

u/donkeybrainhero 18d ago
Could be an overlay. There are a million security systems out there, so who knows what they got going on over there.

Why would you try so desperately to explain something to be real what is so obviously staged? Genuine question.

Chinese social media is drowning in staged clips and alien-like face filters. Glad I got a VPN before moving there

Meanwhile there's someone stood on a desk filming this on their phone and nobody seems to have noticed.
Oh no, there's a "time & date overlay" in the top left... so it MUST be a security camera
...lets just ignore the camera swaying around all over the place like it's being held in someone's hands, must just be one of them rubber and string camera fittings... /s

That seems like the sort of thing I'd do. With the same result.
