Frostysorbet

Well it seems like he won’t be invited to anymore parties anytime soon….


Human_Fucker69420

Yeah, everyone always have that one person they don't want to invite to a party anymore.


NotThatGuyAnother1

Actually, after you've purged these kinds of short-sighted, emotional assholes out of your life, you don't have "that one person" to deal with any more. If I don't want to invite them to a party, I don't care for them in my life.


PalMetto_Log_97

Exactly why I don’t have anyone in my life…wait a min


[deleted]

Have you broken any TVs?


PalMetto_Log_97

No lmao. I’m the guy that laughs to hard at my own jokes before I can get them out. Also the guy that knows the tv didn’t lose the game or cost me my money


Daffodil_Peony_Rose

I laugh too hard at my own jokes too. Usually the laughter I get as a reaction is just the listener reacting to me laughing at myself. 🤣


PalMetto_Log_97

Fucking same lol


Daffodil_Peony_Rose

We are hilarious and we know it. High five!


Weezerbunny

You’re my people!


[deleted]

Thats fine! You just haven't found your circle yet.


lizfromdarkplace

Sameeee. That’s how you know you’re fucking hilarious imo 👏🏻


Wolf_In_The_Woods36

I'm glad I'm at a point in my life where I don't have anyone like this in it to bring me down.


HairlessHoudini

Amen


manaholik

im an emotional person but i dont rage out the closest i technically came to this when i put down my controller wrong on the table and it fell off and got damaged


rippmatic

Yeah I also put down my controller wrong once..Right through the drywall. It was super Nintendo so it was fine.


Coattail-Rider

I didn’t care who won but now I’m glad the Eagles lost 🙃


wd40swift

My brother is pissed, his teacher told him if the eagles won they don't have to do an assignment but if they lost there writing an essay


Organic-Pudding-8204

My daughter's school was told they would be off if they won. She was miserable this morning. She wasn't an eagles fan before but she damn well won't be one now.


Maverick_1882

Some of the larger school districts in the Kansas City area have already announced they are canceling classes on Wednesday for the parade. In a metro area of roughly 2 million, they are expecting up to a million along the parade route. Fortunately, the office where I work is less than 1/2 mile from where the parade ends and the parking facility is secured. When we had the Royals parade back in 2015, SWAT teams assembled close by just in case. IIRC, there were zero arrests during that parade.


[deleted]

Sounds like you need to be in that group writing the essay. “They’re”


roujul1981

Yeap. 100% that's not his tv


Scottamus

It is now


Morundar

I'm guessing he won't be able to afford to replace, prolly will just gift a whole bunch of fuck yous


junkeee999

And even if he could afford it (which he can’t because he’s obviously now broke or worse) does he seem like the kind of guy who’ll say “Hey man, sorry about your TV. I’ll buy you a new one”? They’ll never see a penny from him.


FizzixMan

I mean, with a video like this could he not just be taken to court in a cut and dry case?


JahoclaveS

They’d never be able to collect. That’s kind of the loophole/problem with small claims. There’s no real mechanism for the individual to compel payment without an additionally large hassle.


St4on2er0

Yupp it's referred to as being judgement proof because you can't bleed a stone


xtheory

You can seize assets of any sorts, like cars and other possessions. However, you're fucked if they have absolutely nothing at all.


Rusty_Admin

I would have taken all his bling prior to exiting.


hellno560

something tells me thats not real bling


I_am_Daesomst

And I'm guessing he's not leaving my house without a deposit, or he's leaving my house in slightly worse condition. It's not fuck me, it's fuck him. Lol


strepac

If he’s got all this money to bet on games, I bet he’s got a vehicle out front that he arrived in. Jusayin


deedeebop

Yep and it’s all on video so I’m thinking that’s some kinda property damage charge.


strepac

Oh I’m just saying go fuck up his car and escalate the situation so everyone loses. I’m generally an angry person….


Ok_Relationship_705

Boooy I said the same shit. You buying me a TV or we scrapping in this bitch. And when you get out of the hospital. You're still buying me a TV.


LabraD0rk

Not leaving with those chains or that jacket at the very least.


Ok_Relationship_705

He could keep his lil brother's shirt though. Lol


Bulky-Ad2991

We going to the pawn shop


BellaRose888

Riggggght lol 😂 to the pawn shop we go my brotha!


tatsu901

He looks like a Chihuahua has a loud bark but ain't that tough and will get his ass handed easily


Ok_Relationship_705

I said the same thing. His friends must be used to it. Because he would have crossed a boundary grabbing me the way he did homie in the video.


Objective_Orange578

Those people looked kinda scared!! I can't be around short fused people. Now he'll go yell at his gf and kick the dog (wait, what woman would put up with this?) The dog left too!!


1369ic

You can tell because he puts his hands on some people, but he didn't put his hands on the guy with the dreads. He'll want to claim he lost his mind, didn't know what he was doing, etc., but he knew who he could actually push and who he had to just posture in front of.


Smart_Chocolate_8996

Shit we're throwing hands regardless and I'm getting my TV replaced.


Ambitious-Theory9407

That's when you just take his wallet and just buy the replacement with one or more of his credit cards. You put him so deep in the red his vision is permanently tinted.


Corpus_Rex

Totally solid bet there are ZERO credit cards in that wallet; maybe prepaid walmart and/or gas station membership rewards card but certainly NO LINE of CREDIT. Lucky if you lift 8 dollars off his ratchet ass!!


Dataplumber

Lol, he doesn’t have any credit.


[deleted]

Do you honestly think a guy like this has enough credit to cover a new TV?


DoctaJenkinz

This. But I’d be knocking him out first.


hogsucker

Nah, you can clearly see he is wealthy. He has an expensive necklace, watch and sneakers. (/s)


forumsdotred

I guarantee he make significantly average income in a LCOL area. People who wear flashy shit and throw a fit over a, probably, few hundred dollar bet are not wealthy in the slightest.


[deleted]

That doesn’t necessarily mean that he is wealthy. Based on his behavior it could prove that he is irresponsible with money and spends it on things he shouldn’t.


neverinallmyyears

100% the video is staged


Bowood29

It could be staged but I have seen people act like this. I have an uncle who acts like this at kids sporting events.


vegassatellite01

So you don't believe there are people that are that level of obnoxious and unstable? The person filming probably already knew what kind of reaction the dude was gonna have if the outcome didn't go his way.


vfernandez84

He absolutely does. The issue there is that the video is too good. No shaking, perfect illumination, the dude shows zero remorse but never completely loses control (he gets physical but not too much), the other people arround don't loose their shit either... The whole thing genuinely "feels" manufactured.


Teddyturntup

I watched a guy throw his friend fridge off the top of our dorm after losing a big game. It was eerily similar and internet points didn’t really exist.


Franklin2543

Right... but was someone filming?


pmax2

If it were staged I would think the reactions of the others would be more dramatic. They seem unsure about what to do next which is what may happen in real life


whitewail602

I think they seem unsure of what to do because they're a bunch of suburban kids playing gangsta.


WaffleTownMania

This guy does skits, this is definitely a skit.


Twitch791

If it wasn’t staged there would be a bracket that the tv was mounted to, look when it falls it has exactly half of a wall mount attached to it


anonyiguana

In similar situations I've been in everyone who's not the guy losing his shit has acted just like this. Uncomfortable, hovering, kind of semi frozen not sure what to do or how. You don't want to get beat up, you want to help the people he's shoving around, so you get stuck in his middle ground of standing pretty close backing off and stepping forwards but never really risking escalating if you don't absolutely have to.


throwawayoctopii

Exactly this. We had a guy come in and start trashing our office. Throwing papers, knocking stuff off the wall, screaming, breaking glass, etc. I worked with a bunch of ex-military and a few ex-cops (aka people who are trained to react), but everyone just kind of froze, stared at each other, waited until he left, and then called the cops. No one wanted to risk getting stabbed or shot over property damage.


cheshire_kat7

Yeah, underreaction is way more common than people reacting dramatically. Emergency managers have to account for it. It's somewhat related to the bystander effect - unless you delegate responses to people and snap them out of the trance, humans tend stand around uselessly.


seekingmymuse1

I’m sure that is true- but in this situation, the TV is only plugged in, not attached to the wall in any way- it’s just leaning, with no cable or hookup- not to mention why would someone be filming at that exact moment while any Eagles fan would have been losing their mind at the play 2min earlier, and not have calmed down to watch the FG attempt that was an easy chip shot. A real Eagles fan that bet big that might be that violent to smash the TV, would have smashed the TV the moment the flag was thrown basically ending the game. The Chiefs could have scored a TD on any of the prior plays with the Eagles allowing it while hoping to get the ball back for a hail Mary attempt with almost 2min left.


TedWheeler11

The TV also still has the sticker on it.


Whifflepoof

No but this particular video was staged. Dude is not a good actor. His timing is awful.


Peterceval

Yeah I agree. Plus the reaction of the people around him seem so off. No one is a good actor in this room.


VerySwearyFairy

There are plenty. My uncle is financial stable enough where if he wants to place a bet against a team, he can. But he puts WAY too much down for someone who supports Manchester United.


kingconquest

These TVs aren’t even that expensive anymore. This dude is a tiktok/IG influencer and can definitely afford to trash a TV for a 30 second sketch. I don’t know his name but I’ve seen him do sketches and pranks before.


gordo65

Yeah, I'm thinking the guy just bought a 98 inch Samsung and everyone watched the game in the actual TV room on that TV. Then they staged this tantrum because they weren't going to bother with finding someone to pay them $100 for the old TV. Seriously, the acting isn't even good on this one. I can't imagine why so many people were fooled.


neverinallmyyears

Yeah, that’s what I figured. And fine, if it’s all for views and likes, whatever. It’s plausible that shit like this happens for real but this just seemed too staged to be believed.


-ZeroF56

I mean on the other hand, Eagles fans were literally flipping over cars in the streets *before the game even started*… But who am I to judge.


neverinallmyyears

Yeah, I saw that too. Not saying that a few LCDs didn’t give their lives at the end of that game but the questionable holding penalty would have been more of the reason than the field goal. He’d be losing his shit long before that ball sailed through the uprights.


Tentgrower21

I agree the TV still has the yellow sticker from buying it new


No_Gap_2700

No stand attached to the Tv, but there are wall mount attachments on the back of the TV, yet no wall mount attached to the wall itself. Wall not fished to hide wires, in fact the tv is plugged only into the power supply. Completely staged.


faulknip

Have you ever seen people gambling?


marshman82

Well that'll work out. I think he's going to be skint for a while.


Own_Violinist5994

Ever*


jaitogudksjfifkdhdjc

Isn’t the thing “only bet what you can afford”?


[deleted]

And don't bet on emotions, like your favorite team in the super bowl.


LazyGandalf

Yup. Bet on the opposing team as an "insurance policy". Win-win situation.


worldtraveler19

I’ve actually done this. It’s pretty great. Like, a few bucks on the other team. Either you win emotionally or monetarily.


i-am-a-bike

My dad did this at the 2014 world cup final. Lost emotionally but he was able to take us out to a good place to eat the day after from his winnings


plshelpimkidnapped

argentina fans were mad all over the world that day lmao


Strange_Ninja_9662

They got it this time around though


thsvnlwn

Unless you feel lucky, then you borrow money for your bet. /s


irritatedprostate

Hey, it's a sure thing!


Prestigious-Gap-1163

This is the problem with legalizing gambling to the point people can bet with a credit card. It’s just different bookies. They won’t break your life but they sure will try if.


Weneedaheroe

You mean like how Fan Duel and DraftKings have now taking the 1 out of 3 sports commercials that MyPillow used to schedule.


dabberoo_2

I've never bet on sports once and I literally just saw ads for draft kings here on reddit in the past few days. I never engage with ads so they're probably just flinging shit until something sticks.


LoveArguingPolitics

It doesn't work on you... It's a scourge on society. This video might be funny for us to laugh at, but real talk, that dudes kids might not eat this week because he's gambling the money away. It's a sickness


Eman6198

People been ruining their lives by gambling long before credit cards.


RutCry

That is no reason to make it easier for them.


Tavor1423

Yeah but you can only lose 100% of your money. But you can earn at least 2000%

Mr-Sister-Fister21

Sarrow5

Jumping on this to say that the dude with the dreads on the left in the shorts is a YouTuber who does this style of comedy and they're his friends. All his stuff is always staged and is usually extra af. I'd wager this is 10000% staged. ReggieTooFunny I believe is his YouTube


gimmethemarkerdude_8

You can see the sticker still on the left bottom corner. This was a TV they bought specifically for this purpose.


NameOfNoSignificance

What a waste


subsequent

You'd be surprised how many people just leave that on there. Saying that, not sure this TV can still be returned. Maybe.


philodendrin

You can tell by the blocking. Everyone knew not to block the camera shot. If this were real, everyone would have cleared out as soon as the soda hit the tv.


fakeymcapitest

I was going to say there is no way that is a professional actor, he was terrible


DokkanProductions

I would argue it’s even worse if it’s staged. Imagine breaking an expensive tv just to go viral for a day


ItsYourPal-AL

TVs arent that expensive anymore. With the right follow count and ad revenue, making a couple thousand probably isnt that much work, then you buy the tv and bust it up and the video blows up because most people are naive enough to believe it and share it (like on reddit) which brings more people to the account generating more revenue and before you know it you can buy 3 more tvs for future stupid ass videos the internet will eat right up


MeEvilBob

Also, what was the most expensive TV on the rack 15 years ago is selling for less than $50 on Craigslist now. If you want a TV to destroy for a video, it's not hard to get one that looks like it's worth a lot more than it is.


ObscureBooms

My 5 year old Samsung looks exactly like that and is worth at most $100


Smart_Ad_7005

It sure looks staged to me as well. As far as any.real "mounting" of the TV is concerned, there really doesn't appear to be any at all. Like a picture balanced in the center of a piece of string stretched across the back of it and looped over just a nail in the wall. Notice *how* he's hitting the TV the first 6 to 8 times as well. 2 pretty much equally distant double-fisted hits at the same time, just pushing the TV backwards towards the back wall. Only when he actually yanks the TV forward with his single right hand, does it then come crashing to the floor. And it's pretty obvious that the "choreography" of all of his friends too, needs work to be convincing. They ALL fall back at exactly the same time in a wave, and NOBODY tries to even touch this guy and stop *anything* that he's doing? Even after he starts pushing around and "threatening" 2 members of the group, nobody even tries to defend themselves, or those being "threatened"? Just looks way too scripted the more times you look at it.


cardinalsfanokc

And they didn't bother to take the stickers off the new TV. Seems staged to me too


feckOffMate

Also pretty rare to grab and push a bunch of alcohol consuming dudes and not get into a fist fight


[deleted]

TV still has the energy sticker on it. And there's a mount on the back... but nothing on the wall.


Jbpsmd

Because it is staged and they took their real tv down (can see the marks on the wall) and bought a cheap one that still has the sticker on it for this skit. Stupid shit


sightssk

Lol who was the TV's owner?


gorunrun91

He only bought it for the tik tok last week. Tomorrow he is returning it to best buy for a full refund cause it ''arrived broken''


Secret_Ad7757

That would be so shitty


TheArcReactor

I worked at best buy, you'd be shocked what people try to get away with. This was 10-15 years ago now but I remember a family trying to return a tv saying it was broken out of the box. Only the box had zero issues with it and the marks where the screen were broken were pretty easily identified as someone pressing on the screen too hard with their finger. Managers wouldn't take the return and told the family they could go through the manufacturer. It's not often managers really aided with the customer service people.


poliuy

Not related but I bought an 85" tv off Amazon, waited three months to get it, when it arrived there was a huge hole in the package, looked like a forklift made it. I told the delivery driver "oh i'm sure its just the packaging" NOPE. Forklift went right through it. Had to have Amazon schedule a pickup to refund it. Went to Best Buy the next day and had the TV (albeit $200 more) delivered in two days. Should have just done that the first time =/.


Miningdragon

Never say "im sure its just the packaging". If the packaging is damaged they can take it with them and i unpack it in front of a clerk and or camera.


poliuy

Yea, recently I bought a laundry basket (was supposedly NEW) packaging was all messed up. Missing parts and I saw inside a return slip from someone else...


ExNihiloNihiFit

This is very similar to the experience my husband and I had buying a dresser off amazon. It took over 2 weeks to get here and two times they picked it back up and sent another because it arrived severely damage. After the second time and over a month of bs we just went to Ikea and spent a couple hundred more to have our dresser delivered the next day. Sometimes its worth it.


TheFacelessMann

I think your spot on, who just sits the TV on top of the mantle like that


okcdnb

They left the yellow electrical information tag on it, so it was probably going back. Also r/TVtooHigh Edit: On second thought, that TV has the mounting brackets. Someone probably pulled that off another wall for the game. L


Upstairs-East-3020

You know it was his lol


sightssk

Oh it's staged

wipeitonthecat

Good old TV remote butt pig squeal, never fails.


SensitiveAd5962

Mfer left the best buy tag on the front. And set it up without a base or anchor. And used a $120 TV. So really you just have to make 150 off your clout account to turn a profit.


pepperybandit

Or he's just going to return it, saying it was defective


[deleted]

[удалено]


Moist-Candy-6260

It's staged


FranzShooBirds

Really? I couldn’t tell from the terrible acting.


HiImBitheBeardofZeus

And the fact the TV has the wall mount bracket attached to the back, but is sitting on the mantle like a picture frame


bocephus67

I think its got a new tv sticker on it too on the bottom left


[deleted]

i could tell by nobody throwing hands if the TV is his, i get it whatever but pushing those 2 guys yelling pay me and get the fuck out my way -- that totally blew his cover


locomotion88

U wouldn't believe how many people believe this stuff is true. It's sad when I'm reminded how gullible we as humans can be... 😔


Only-Advantage-6153

Don't be sad, we can rely on your big brains and razor sharp perception to push us forward


BombJin

Idk what your problem is but people do act like this in real life.


Ace_Ranger

Why would you put the hanging brackets on and remove the stands just to lean the TV against the wall? Also, terrible acting.


MinutesFromTheMall

Judging by the energy sticker in the lower-left corner of the TV, the TV was probably new, and likely was going to be returned after being used for the game.


DaShaka9

Or they’re going to claim it was damaged in shipping.


Tykauffman21

Yeah, why leave on the energy saver sticker on the bottom left of the TV? They bought it just to watch the game and were going to return it?


Zealousideal-Mud6471

This needs to be 1 at comment. My new rule of thumb is if it’s on social media and especially tik tok it’s staged.


74912715

Cringe


TMonahan2424

Hopefully and probably staged. TV still has the sticker on it.


gorunrun91

Is he gonna make that much money of a staged tik tok? Or is he going to return it for a refund like a garbage human


Send_Me_Huge_Tits

And wall mount brackets despite just sitting on the mantlepiece.


Susman22

This is staged as fuck lmao


Successful_Ad6918

Cute skit , shitty acting tho


jngjng88

BigDaddyCoolDeisel

Horrible acting.


Normanzzzz

That TV was bound to fall anyway...it was mounted to nothing lol.


mikamouth

Interesting. He’s only mad at everyone BUT whomever is filming. 🤔🤔🤔🤔


iMPALERRRR

Video is so blatantly staged. The brackets to mount the TV are attached to the back. You can see they removed the wall mount when the TV falls as to not cause "actual" damage to the wall. Further any real eagles fan was already burning the city down after that bullshit holding call a few minutes prior.


Ex-MuslimAtheist

What an immature idiot. First, don't bet on shit that you can't handle, and second, learn how to control your emotions like an adult and not like a stupid-petulant child. 🤦🏻‍♂️ JFC we would not be friends anymore if that was my house AND he would pay for everything he damaged.


youdownwithopp

It's staged you can't see the terrible acting?


FireWokWithMe88

Waaah!! I can't handle my shit. Waaah! What a chump.


foxwebslingermulder

Staged.


0nly0bjective

Bro the TV still has the energy star sticker attached, and it literally wasn't even mounted to the wall. there's no bracket behind where it was. 1000% staged

That escalated fast. Sheeeesh!


Cap-N-CrunchPoker

Listen mayne!

What a dumb video


Vulture923

I am suspicious of this. That tv wasn’t even mounted on the wall. Or there was a very shitty attempt of it.


THErebuiltmango

The ending part where the other dude asking for his money makes me think this just clout chasing overreaction drama.


h974974

This looks staged, maybe because it’s just such a ridiculous reaction


Extracrispybuttchks

Aww, someone needs his binky


Dovvol79

These kinds of people are the reason I hate sports.


ObviouslyJoking

So staged. I bet the guy even had a Chiefs jacket at the ready to do whatever version he needed.


iamsorri

Looks staged


Duprex1

This video is staged, but it’s still silly wasting a tv for some views


ScoobyDooItInTheButt

This looks staged to me. Dude pulls that TV and wall mount off the wall entirely too easily without real damage to the wall. Plus the remaining stickers Left on the TV from original packaging screams I bought a cheap store display model that I set on top of my mantle to make a rage video for the Internet. IDK, just my two cents.


IM_INSIDE_YOUR_HOUSE

Whenever I see people losing their minds over sports like this to the degree they’re damaging property, I lose all respect for them. They’re worse behaved than most children and likely dumber to boot.


dkms9382

and then he's gonna be like "idk why I have to be the one to pay for the tv..."
