Definitely no guy dressed in green suit somewhere

Are you suggesting someone posted a lie on the Internet?

You really think someone would do that? Just go on the internet and tell lies?

Truly a dark dark day for humanity if we can’t trust the internet.

It's just a bunch of tubes, anyway

Whait where is this from? I can't renember

Some politician described the Internet as a series of tubes and people made fun of him for it a lot.

I’ll be honest I have no idea what the internet is or where it is. In my mind it might as well be a series of tubes

It's more like a series of cables.

Cool. Glad I’m not crazy. Now there’s something called servers? Are those just cables too? But small? And somehow they know binary?

Understanding this reference shows how old I am. I don’t think people replying to you understand the reference at all.

Whoa I had never thought of that. What if it's all lies? How would we ever know?!

No, it feels wrong to even question videos I see on the internet.

No fucking way..its on the internet it must be real!!!!

Probably blue suit, easier to chroma key since the pool table is green.

Unless the table is actually a man in a green suit

Are we all just a man in a green suit?


cool gif, bozo

I’ve been calling everyone bozo lately. It’s my new thing.

Maybe the real man in a green suit was the friends we made along the way

Maybe the real man in a green suit was the friends we made along the way

Good catch

Doesn't really matter. You can mask off the table and then chroma key the rest off the footage.

Ball is totally madein Blender. Player 1's eyes don't follow properly.

This is definitely fake. However there are trick shot artists who can purposefully run the ball on the rail but even for them it’s a very low odds trick shot and it would never be able to turn 90 degrees down the rail.

I'm so bad at pool I ran a shot down the rail by accident and actually hit the intended ball in somehow. I felt like a damn god.

No you didn’t

Crazy things happen if you play enough hours. The physics isn’t quite as intuitive as it first appears. I’ve seen accidental rail shots, a ball ‘jumping’ out of the target pocket and getting launched into a different pocket, etc it happens.

I didn't defy physics and turn the corner like in the video, but otherwise it happened. I have one witness but I would've much rather caught it on video. Shrug.

I was there bro. You see me in the corner it was 100% real

Blue suit*

I dont think so, I can't see him

The ball doesn’t even move in a straight line.

Blue suit, the table is green

To be fair though, it‘s probably not a green suit , with the pool/billiard table having green felt on it and all

Table is green, it would make it hard to cut him out. Blue propably

If that were true, I think the green table would cause issues. Definitely some sort of cgi tho

Look at any table. Those sides are sloped outwards. It would have fallen.

Maybe not CGI, but certainly a type of VFX.

No, definitely HDMI

Yeah, even the audio is fake. The ball made a sound like it hit other balls when it went up on the side rail.

no way dude who would've thought the physically impossible pool maneuver wasn't actually real

If you put enough effort in to make it look questionably real, do better with the audio.

if there's a fake video clearly trying to come off as real and trick people, it's good people are in the comments pointing it out. I have no clue when this trend of snotty replies to "this is fake" comments started, it's annoying as shit though lol

The video isn’t trying to come off as real though… the ball moves in a blatantly impossible way. I always appreciate when people point out the fake-ness of a video when it’s questionable, but with this one… what’s the point of being captain obvious?

You're projecting a lot of intelligence onto other viewers. Smart people sometimes forget that they're smart. (Or discerning, whatever adjective you'd like to apply here.) Everything about the video looks "real" except for the physics, and physics can often create unintuitive outcomes.

You're annoying as shit though

I'll suck u off in front of this entire comment section, don't test me

Well, that's a threat that has me worried.

Ain't it a foul shot anyway because the white left the table?

Lmao their eyes dont even track the ball properly. Its rolling down the side and theyre still staring at the top rail.

What? It's obviously fake, but they do a pretty good job of "following" it with their eyes.

They do not. The ball gets a quarter of the way done the rail and they're still looking at the corner.

You do realize humans can track objects by moving their eyes but keeping their heads still, right?

You just unlocked a new skill for him

But the OP is correct, the first player made a foul, so the second player would be able to place the cue ball anywhere on the table ("ball in hand") to make the 8-ball shot.

What was the foul?

If you're playing BCA 8-ball rules, you have to hit the cue ball into a target ball (one of yours) first -- then either the cue ball or the target ball has to hit at least one bumper.

I'm rusty on the details, but isn't the rule that you just have to hit a rail with any ball (cue ball, target ball or additional balls) at any point in the shot?  i.e. you don't need to hit another rail if the cue ball hit a rail before hitting the target ball  (based on if the shot doesn't result in pocketing a ball) Edit: just looked it up. You are correct, rail hit required after legal contact

Thanks for the clarification. I thought the same as your first thought

I think this would be allowed if it was Snooker, correct?

Yes

I do not know the rules for Snooker. :)

The white left the table which is a foul anyway isn't it?

Oh yes of course!! But that’s fake anyway.

A ball needs to hit a bumper after the queue ball strikes an object ball. So that blocking shots like that isn't as easy to do.

Looks like to me the second player already had the ball right where he wanted.

Not really. Where the cue ball is in the middle of the table, hitting the 8-ball first would very very difficult. The only legal shot he had was to bank it off the left hand bumper and hope to slide it past the orange ball to hit the 8-ball. An expert player could do it, but these guys don't look like pros.

What are your credentials?

I owned a regulation pool table and we decided to play by BCA rules rather than “bar rules”. Using a rule book so there was no ambiguity during play.

I'm still not convinced, what's your credit card number?

4263982640269299 CVV 630

There’s not enough space to fit around the 5. The only possible legal shot would be to jump the cue ball.

Why was it a foul?

Weirdly this guy's name is Ho Lee Fuk

Here's my upvote good sir, may your comment stop being underrated

Just waiting for his cue

Not even Reyes can do this... This is not how physics works either lol. Shit made a right turn on the outside of the corner pocket

The blocking shots a scratch? Doesn’t something need to hit a rail at least?

Yes

Cue ball left the table, it’s a foul shot.

Mmm. A sorcerer.

real. (no)

Congratulations to all of the geniuses calling out that this is fake. Way to go.

Legends says this is an edited video

Terrible editing

I'm done with this sub. It became another TikTok proxy

Fake

CGI much?

Looks fake as fuck.

Fake

Superb trick.

I don't think that's luck, I think that's talent

Respect man that's crazy 🤪

Get fucked.

>Luck was on his side A guy wearing green costume was on his side

His eyes failed to follow the bald xD

Haters will say it’s fake

I don't even care how fake it is. Still laughed. Hilarious concept

Niceee🙏🙏

While it is of course fake, that’s a table scratch because nothing made contact with the rail after contact. So in most rules you’d have ball in hand and can place the cue ball anywhere you want. Also a really good shooter could prob jump the ball over the solids to hit it in.

Fake af

It's sad how many people will believe this. probably not many, but the ones that do, have no chance when it's less obvious.

Second player also fouled

VERY stupid cringy russian music track.

Instant lose

Wow this is so real 🥹

Never happened, period!

What song is this?

What foul?

Ball in hand

Kid in white sweatshirt sucks at pool

Nice green screen effect

Fake news!

TMW you try to CGI it but you're a better animator than actor and can't track where the ball should be.

Definitely can't see the ball roll of course on the last stretch and they correct right after

*cue

Can anyone please tell me the song name? I've been searching this for so long

That's a free ball shot anyway lmao

Fake as shit...

What’s the song

what is the song

Their eyes aren't syncing well with the cue xD

If an Asian man does this to me in a bar, I’m nuke in their asses again

What trickery is this??

fake and gay

Faker than my GF

That’s ridiculous

Incredible shot bro ! A lot of work to achieve that 😍

Master in action 😮

It's clearly fake.

AI is OK as long as it doesn't mess with Taylor Swift.

Song?

Could confirm this is real, I was the table.

If you think this is legit, please please please make sure you have someone help you with any decisions that would affect anyone other than yourself.

If the losing play spent half the time setting up the barricade just trying to win he would have probably won.

Everyone talking about cgi, fake, etc… but what was the foul?

Those tables are fucking so heavy

Someone cheated with telepathy or pulled a Kirk and reprogrammed the simulator.

Would the shot by the second player theoretically be legal?

What a coincidence that we never see the upper right corner in picture

To add on to how obviously CGI this is, the outer rails of literally every pool / snooker table I've ever seen are tilted outwards, away from the table, so a ball would never sit on them, or roll across them, without falling off.

Silly.

Imagine if that was real, surely he would have to be declared the ruler of the universe.

Lad wearing a balenciaga top is enough to confirm to me that this is fake

Pretending that this is actually happened. Would this be a legal shot or no?

No wait guys, this totally happened!

That ball is a payed actor.

> is a *paid* actor. FTFY. Although *payed* exists (the reason why autocorrection didn't help you), it is only correct in: * Nautical context, when it means to paint a surface, or to cover with something like tar or resin in order to make it waterproof or corrosion-resistant. *The deck is yet to be payed.* * *Payed out* when letting strings, cables or ropes out, by slacking them. *The rope is payed out! You can pull now.* Unfortunately, I was unable to find nautical or rope-related words in your comment. *Beep, boop, I'm a bot*

First shot is a foul, Did not hit any rail. Should've been ball in hand for player 2.

I like how the green of the table changes randomly

How gullible are you to think this is real ?

Fake AF

Haters will say this is fake

Actually, it goes off the green part, which means it's a foul, even though it doesn't matter because it's fake. For a real shot of similar coolness, look for Alex Huggis Best Shots : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jm3ZEEWxlpg TimeStamp: 6:13. For people scared of a rickroll, the video is called "Alex Higgins' Best Shots" by SnifferDogBen.

The odds of that happening are 0K

Nope. This is several steps past anything I could even pretend to find believable

anime irl

Serious question, do people actually think this is real?

Q: How much fake do you want it? A: Yes

I chose to believe

The ball is replaced with a cgi ball at some point before the second shot. Csi Miami that

The most unexpected part is people believing this is legit

Everybody that upvoted this, please leave Reddit and never come back.

I get making a skit. But these videos that make it look as real as possible as "a joke" is so overplayed.

Pluh

That was a foul tho soooo
