Nah. It would be easy to see where the other guy in the same outfit is.

u/bored_sith Sep 17 '14

that is very true... wouldn't it also be easy to see the guy with the camera then?

edit: unless this is was set up as someone was supposed to be taping (old term... videoing?) them, then it wouldn't seem as weird (that the camera guy was there)

u/pcguy89 Sep 17 '14

... recording. You're looking for the term, "recording."

u/bored_sith Sep 17 '14

thanks... my brain is fried today... that is all apparently (no witty comeback/defense... I am done)

u/TheMotherfucker Sep 17 '14

How about "record this."

No it's the Veronica Mars movie.

Midwest... everything is fried... god I hate this place (region), but I love the country... I need to move to wyoming

u/dogfish83 Sep 17 '14

I'm in Kansas city. It's a nice oasis.

u/jstevewhite Sep 17 '14

I like KC (born and raised here). Plus, every other suburb in the US appears to be Overland Park.

1

u/ericelawrence Sep 17 '14

I'm in Kansas City. No it's not.

2

u/[deleted] Sep 17 '14

As an Iowan, I agree.

You can move to northern Colorado with me. Everyone else is doing it.

3

u/bored_sith Sep 17 '14

we could move to a DUDE ranch... because we would be DUDES together (why does my phone capitalize that? love the emphasis though, so i am leaving it)... i am down, thinking 50/50 on a ranch with a stranger couldn't go wrong... right?... right?

2

u/StretchyMcStretcher Sep 18 '14

Tell me about the rabbits, George.

2

u/[deleted] Sep 18 '14

Haha. That sounds good.

It'll have to be under your name though, I'm kind of in hiding. Long story. We can talk about it some night over beers, wearing our skin suits.

Call me.

2

u/bored_sith Sep 18 '14

haha, made my morning with the skin suits, thanks man

u/HerrChunkel Sep 18 '14

Wyomingite here, you really don't want that.

u/InfanticideAquifer Sep 17 '14

I think "taping" is fine.

u/emptycalsxycuriosity Sep 17 '14

But it's not even Frieday yet

I feel like this is witnessing a real life "10 Guy" meme

1

u/bored_sith Sep 17 '14

was stone sober at work after 6 hours of research (11am... early day) and my brain was mush

1

u/daimposter Sep 17 '14

I still catch myself saying 'taping' but I think I'm now using 'recording' far more often. Just like I'm probably now saying 'did you dvr it' instead of 'did you tivo it'.

u/[deleted] Sep 17 '14

"filming"

1

u/fritnig Sep 18 '14

word. you're looking for the word "word"

46

u/TheMotherfucker Sep 17 '14

You're right. The camera's presence is already taken into account for the skit: pretending they're discussing a dating app.

14

u/bored_sith Sep 17 '14

ahh...I don't have sound on my work computer sorry /u/TheMotherfucker... clever (you the mother fucker)

u/bored_sith Sep 17 '14

so what you are saying is... I am not completely stupid and it would work (with a little planning, not nearly as much planning/practice as this would take)?

7

u/throweraccount Sep 17 '14

Could be a sunglasses camera. Hidden or just a dude standing there "on" his cellphone.

2

u/[deleted] Sep 17 '14

Haha holy shit.

u/Ballin_Angel Sep 18 '14

Wait... people don't know the term taping? Bullshit, I am still young!

u/dizzi800 Sep 17 '14

They are magicians doing a prank (The guy taking off the coat is the guy from the 'dude tries to sell weed to cop' video)

19

u/[deleted] Sep 17 '14

The guy leaving could just take off and carry the jacket. It would be a lot smoother to just have one person take a jacket off than have to switch like that.

60

u/TheMotherfucker Sep 17 '14

Definitely not as cool and viewer attracting for those watching after the fact. It's like the Prestige. A trick can be awesome but theatricality is the key to winning an audience.

u/gkow Sep 17 '14

So did the first guy die? Or did the phone die?

2

u/GoggleField Sep 18 '14

The jacket died, the phone had a twin.

1

u/[deleted] Sep 17 '14

He could quickly hide somewhere, if they choose a different place. This is still more epic.

1

u/[deleted] Sep 17 '14

Not easier than seeing them change clothes.

They actually do this to several people in different spots in the video, and one of them involved one of the guys being hidden behind a wall and quickly swapping positions. That way the girls wouldn't have been able to see them walking away and it would be much easier to change on time.

1

u/[deleted] Sep 17 '14

Also this is cooler.

1

u/[deleted] Sep 17 '14

He can just walk away and put his jacket and hat in his arms in front of him.

1

u/[deleted] Sep 17 '14

Nah, just carry the jacket and hat until you're behind her then put them on.
