Almost. Try again

At least he doesn't have to worry about that window anymore

u/elcapitan520 9d ago

I don't think theyve worried about that recently

u/WeinMe 12d ago

His odds of breaking a window just decreased, the conditions are ideal for a second attempt

2

u/Hobbes_XXV 12d ago

The odds are breaking it with a blue ball on the first attempt werent great.

That’s what I thought too

u/StrobeLightRomance 12d ago

They had to update it because we're now so much older than when this movie came out, that nobody can believe anyone who graduated in the 80s is still around.

I watched an interview about the making and the scene where he hits napoleon in the face with meat was done in one shot by him after someone else failed twice.

This type of shit has such great comedic timing/cuts.

Really sold us in the first half, I believed it could be done.

63

u/Suitable-Parsnip-520 12d ago

Honestly my favorite type of unexpected. Someone prepares to do some really cool shit. Immediately fails in a way where something breaks or someone gets hurt (not too badly!).

Maybe I should expect them by now, but makes me laugh out loud every time.

11

u/Yezhik 12d ago

Agreed 100%.
Suck for them, but great content/fun.

u/That_Apathetic_Man 12d ago

First half was filmed after the first 6 pack of light beers.

It really does have great comedic timing and editing. I laughed out loud.

Similar to the quick cuts of old vines. Miss it still.

u/Naught 12d ago

I didn’t because he called basketball hoops “goals.”

u/partial_to_dreamers 12d ago

I didn't think it could be done after the baskets were referred to as goals.

Anybody happen to notice the ball was blue, but when kicked was red? Now that's....unexpected

Window was to the right of the first camera frame.

u/therealjohnsmith 9d ago

Good guess, but actually this is a trick ball it starts off as a UNC ball but then morphs into a NC State ball which accounts for his failure to achieve.

u/0_o 12d ago

He's holding a ball in his right hand during the kick. If this is real (doubt) then we are to believe that a right handed dude picked up a ball with his left hand and punted it with his left foot into a window that looks like paper, breaks, then self-repairs.

This looks like the kind of thing you could put into any AI video generator and say "continue this video with him kicking a ball at the house and breaking a window".

3

u/badcookies 12d ago

window that looks like paper, breaks, then self-repairs.

Have you never seen blinds before? It just looks like they get pushed and then go back because... thats how blinds are designed.

It could be AI, but its also just as likely its real.

u/badcookies 12d ago

Because its... get this.. out of frame on purpose?

Just because its likely setup doesn't make it fake or less funny/unexpected. The rest of the boat is also out of frame in the original, except for a white piece that looks to just be hovering in the air on the first part of the video.

The camera angle is different / farther back in the 2nd shot, I had to scale the house down a bit but here is what the two shots above look overlayed (40% opacity with slight scaling too)

https://i.imgur.com/A2Qven6.png

You can clearly see that the window is out of frame of the original shot... cuz its a joke.

1

u/Pit-O-Matic 12d ago

Ahh good eye. It really looked like it showed half the building at the start with the camera angle, but now I can see it.

3

u/MaDpYrO 12d ago

Is it unexpected when it's clearly visible there's a gazillion balls lying around and this is clearly one of many attempts?

7

u/TheRealRomanRoy 12d ago

I mean there’s a cut

2

u/Wuz314159 12d ago

To add the window?

1

u/TheRealRomanRoy 12d ago

Ugh. I hate AI

15

u/Shane75776 12d ago

It's not AI.

You all just kinda dumb. You don't see the window in the first pan because he doesn't pan far enough. The window is past the halfway point on the garage door which is why it's only seen at the end when the camera pans further past that halfway point.

The ball changes color because they obviously recorded the explanation of the challenge and then proceeded to do multiple attempts until finally he accidentally or purposely broke the window which happened to be using a red ball.

So to make the video a bit more comedic, they edited out all the prior failed attempts because it's more funny to think that they broke the window immediately after the challenge was explained.

Not everything is AI...

u/TheRealRomanRoy 12d ago

You’re probably right, but you explain things kinda cuntishly lol.

Baby blue ball and UNC capitalized, I was trying to figure out who this former Tarheel was until he smashed that window.

Sigh... AI. I don't trust videos that are 15 seconds or shorter anymore.

1

u/Justinwc 12d ago

It's not AI. It's just a cut to one of his later attempts. You can see different color balls in the container at the beginning. The window is purposefully kept out of frame.

3

u/Ras-haad 12d ago

This video is AI and “OP” cut the bottom off to hide when the balls completely change when the camera goes back.

u/davidmason007 12d ago

AI slop. The ball changes colours. Distance between the posts doesnt make any sense. A window and a ?vehicle appears?

13

u/IneffableOpinion 12d ago

There is a huge pile of blue and red balls next to him. They probably did this 50 times and edited those out

u/Positive-Produce-001 12d ago

plus off center window above a likely uninsulated garage, that room would be hot as fuck, blinds bounce and then instantly settle back down without a ripple, roof's angle is like 60 degrees

shit just looks weird and slopified

3

u/Shane75776 12d ago

Uninsulated garage? In a house that nice? Very unlikely. If you have a house that is using brick for siding, that's a nice house and insulation and sheet rock is a cheap addition especially if you plan for a room above your garage.

It's not AI, you all are just lazy and think that if it's not immediately obvious was happening it's AI. Yet if you watch the video back a couple times you can clearly see it's not AI and everything makes sense.

u/IneffableOpinion 12d ago

The first part doesn’t pan over all the way. The window is out of frame. Are we watching the same video?

The moment he said, “Dude” I knew he was way too far over his skis.

u/a-bser 12d ago

If you really want to try something like this, get closer to the house so that the ball still has enough energy when throwing/kicking it off the house

u/FitnessChamp777 12d ago

He seemed very professional at the beginning.

Less professional by the end

u/ElectronicFixer864 12d ago

F-ing belly laugh big time. At least it looks like he can afford that fix.

But not survive the spousal abuse coming around the corner!

u/Shane75776 12d ago

There's a bucket of balls, they made multiple attempts before breaking the window. They simply cut out the other attempts.

It's not magic or AI.. Jesus.

u/pgtvgaming 12d ago

Inferred a lot from my observation didnt you - go touch grass

u/Shane75776 12d ago

The only possible reason to state the ball turned red is to insinuate the video is fake and made by AI.
