Wrong kid died!

[–]ekcetera 71 points72 points ago

Ha I remember this video. There's was a huge debate on whether or not it's fake. It is fake btw look at the pen on the table moving by itself.

[–]HyperSpaz 23 points24 points ago

Not much of a debate. This is part of a whole series of videos, viewable here at the author's channel. As you can see from the link shown at the end, this was done as advertising for a variety show.

[–]iruber1337[S] 8 points9 points ago

Thanks, had no idea what the source was, just found it while I was sorting my gif folder.

[–]neptyr 0 points1 point ago

Repost-folder?

[–]Paperwings91 11 points12 points ago

The kid also preemptively protected his nuts before he was hit.

[–]clckwrks 6 points7 points ago

i preemptively protect my nuts all the time

[–]treespleaseSC -2 points-1 points ago

He also took a step forward before going backwards.

[–]sagewah 3 points4 points ago

fuck looking at the pen, if you look you can see the kid falls into a cushioned pit so he doesn't get crushed.

[–]mahh_nigga 2 points3 points ago

He also moon walked.

[–]chburnh 1 point2 points ago

You can see where the kid falls into a hole, or something of the sort, right before the entertainment center hits the ground.

[–]anthrocide 0 points1 point ago

Also he barely backed into the entertainment center. Was this like one of those 'the world is flat and NASA is lying to us' debates?

[–]nouveau1 107 points108 points ago

Am I the only one to notice he actually removed the tablecloth successfully? I call this a win.

[–]inmyotherpants79 7 points8 points ago

Funny. I saw a show about viral videos and they showed how this one was done for a theater company if I remember correctly.

[–]RealityIsMyReligion 32 points33 points ago

The kid hits the entertainment center, and it doesn't budge, then both separate halves of it lunge towards the kid? 100% fake!

[–]CaliforniaBurrito858 18 points19 points ago

This is fake. I reversed my downvote due to the level of commitment to this fake. The little blonde kid goes in to some sort of trap door when the shelf falls. Impressive.

[–]deannapolis 11 points12 points ago

Actually, you're wrong. Yes it's fake, but not involving a trap door. They took this video with two different shots. One was with the kid falling. Another one was with the entertainment center falling. Then they just put the two together. These kids make prank videos all the time.

[–]iruber1337[S] 3 points4 points ago

Interesting...was not aware and definitely fooled me. Happen to have any youtube clips?

Edit: Looks like HyperSpaz got the original youtube channel.

[–]deannapolis 0 points1 point ago

I wish! I can't find any links, I watched it on a show or the news. Their names are Timmy and Olsen.

[–]pgrytdal 1 point2 points ago

Funny the kids name is "Timmy".

"What that, Lassy?" "Bark!!!" "Timmy's stuck in the well?" "Bark Bark!" "Oh... Olsen tried to remove a tablecloth without breaking the dishes... accidentally hit Timmy in the chest, Timmy got launched into the Entertainment center, got crushed by it, and Olsen is just standing there laughing???" "Bark!" "Oh... OK... I'll just call 9-1-1 instead of trying to help the kid."

[–]Smilge 1 point2 points ago

If you look at the pen close to the camera you can see half of it change.

[–]SeattleRedditor 1 point2 points ago

God dam you kids, I would've had a good laugh, but nooooo

[–]tigermoth 0 points1 point ago

watch out guys, Poirot is on the case

[–]CitrusTsar 2 points3 points ago

don't care if it is fake, i laughed

[–]Shoeboxes0 1 point2 points ago

SHE DIED.

[–]Njuul 0 points1 point ago

I like how the kid just passes out before getting stomped. It just adds to the illusion, really! Sort of. In a way.

[–]creature9 0 points1 point ago

Staged or not, mistake watching in a quite office setting. Rofl'd

[–]vitamenc 2 points3 points ago

quite office

Hmm yes, quite.

[–]creature9 0 points1 point ago

Quite often is it quite quite.

[–]Sicel1304 0 points1 point ago

Just to reinforce what the majority of people are saying... http://socialtimes.com/magic-trick-death-hoax_b77962

[–]joels1234 0 points1 point ago

The TV is way too shallow to have a tube that big. Looks like a furniture store prop.

[–]FriendlyEnemy 0 points1 point ago

Left his brother for dead.

[–]SuddenClarity 0 points1 point ago

Am I the only one to nitice that he actually moved the pen infront of the camera? I call this a win

[–]bowieinu1 0 points1 point ago

Kid started moving backwards before he got hit in the balls

[–]sneg 0 points1 point ago

[–]BALLS_AND_SHIT 0 points1 point ago

This kills the brother.

[–]ilovebajablast 0 points1 point ago

You have to be an idiot to think this is real....just watch how the kid hits the entertainment center...

[–]Ectospheno 0 points1 point ago

That people still debate whether or not clips on the internet depict real acts is surprising. If it isn't a shaky cell phone shot, security camera footage, or a naked person on a webcam then the odds of it being real are pretty damn low.

If you have an improbable act filmed from a stationary camera at a reasonable resolution then you are watching the product of one or more bored film students.

[–]ThomasBombadilius 0 points1 point ago

MAGIC!

[–]StrangeLuckForever 0 points1 point ago

This is a good laugh, I needed this.

Fake or not, it's fun to think what if!

[–]TankorSmash 0 points1 point ago

This is a fake. Last time this was posted, it was analyzed and found that the kid anticipated the blow or something.

[–]GoLightLady 0 points1 point ago

Probably. It does look like the the blond kid hits the bookshelf and falls immediately. I first thought he knocked himself out. But def looks like he fell down (too) quickly either way.

[–]Jaybleezie 0 points1 point ago

Am I the only one that knows this video is fake? Look it up on YouTube they show you how they edited this.

[–]mindslave 0 points1 point ago

He left his bro to diE!

[–]fml_twice 0 points1 point ago

Oh man before reading the comments I thought the poor kid was dead. Haha

[–]Brutalitarian 0 points1 point ago

Is he died?

[–]claudesoph 0 points1 point ago

I laughed... the first time I saw this gif ten thousand years ago.

[–]otto831 0 points1 point ago

But all the youtube credit he received was worth the life lost.

[–]Shoeboxes0 0 points1 point ago

This again? This was in the period of your comment.

Thats one dead kid jimmy.

[–]Atomic69 0 points1 point ago

oooh... that's so brutal to watch.

[–]Hatweed 0 points1 point ago

It's OK... Kid broke the TV's fall.

[–]evanbrown2 0 points1 point ago

I feel so bad for laughing...

[–]thatguy73 0 points1 point ago

Gotta hand it to the kid, he's quick!

[–]Mack488 0 points1 point ago

Well he's dead...

[–]antiward 0 points1 point ago

i literally said oh shit
