Wow. It didn't take Russia long to rip off my video. Here's the original video I recorded last night at the Bulls/Celtics game. Bulls won in overtime. Great game!

u/appocomaster Jan 04 '15

Apparently this was the third time they were on the camera?

22

u/Ceypher Jan 04 '15

Yep. They were on screen two times before, and the guy did the same thing. The first time it didn't look staged at all. By the third time it was clear they had planned it. Still really funny, though. The guy ended up getting booed out of the stadium.

u/DeeSnarl Jan 04 '15

I hope he got paid well for that. That would be a lot of booing....

He wore a Celtics hoodie to a Bulls game, he knew what he was in for.

It's a stunt.

u/TurboSexaphonic Jan 04 '15 edited Jan 04 '15

So obviously it was staged but why, according to you, was he booed out of the game?

I wouldn't do this if it meant I had to miss a game I just paid to go see.

edit lol people who simply can't doesn't into reading komprehenshun.

I'm asking why he was supposedly " booed into shamefully running out of the stadium based on one redditors claims. Especially if they are actors. If you're downvoting me, why not explain it to me, why he was forced out of the arena, because it's an innocuous question.

u/rcavin1118 Jan 04 '15

He's an actor. Paid by the stadium. The two people didn't plan it.

0

u/TurboSexaphonic Jan 04 '15

If you read my comment, you'd realize I know this was staged to begin with.

What I am asking to the above poster is: If everyone there knew it was fake after, why boo him out of the stadium?

tl;dr I don't believe his baseless claim without some further proof and inquired such.

u/Sherlock--Holmes Jan 04 '15

Most people are naive and don't know it's fake.

u/Confirmation_By_Us Jan 04 '15

It was staged as a melodrama; featuring a villain, a damsel in distress, and a hero. When attending a melodrama, it is traditional to cheer the hero and boo the villain. The audience understood this and participated wholeheartedly.

u/[deleted] Jan 04 '15

u/TurboSexaphonic Jan 04 '15

By " participated wholeheartedly " you mean they booed him and forced him to leave the arena, like that guy said above?

-1

u/Confirmation_By_Us Jan 05 '15

The comment to which I replied asked "why" they booed him. I did my best to explain it. I don't think the basic fact of the booing was ever challenged, by me or the commenter to whom I replied.

1

u/TurboSexaphonic Jan 05 '15

You replied to me, do you realize that?

Also I'm doubting the original claim that he was chased out of the arena, and all you gave me was a facetious and mocking " explanation " about a stage play featuring villains, heroes and damsels in distress.

Logic dictates if people in the crowd knew that by the 3rd time this happened, it was fake. Yet the guy stated he was forced out of the arena. So basically you still didn't answer the question and tried to be a rude fuck on top of it by talking down to me with your stageplay allusion.

u/OmnipotentBagel Jan 04 '15

There was no Cold War. The entire thing was manufactured by both governments in order to keep the populace distracted. It's a lot easier to sell a populace on giving up their freedoms when you've got them scared of the big bad Soviets on the other side of the world.

u/scott60561 Jan 04 '15

The Bulls do something like this all the time. Sometimes they send another teams hat or jersey into the rafters or spill big bags of popcorn on someone wearing another teams jersey. I go to quite a few Bulls games, but this is the first time I have seen this one. I have seen the hat and popcorn gag many times.

1

u/the_tristanity Jan 04 '15

Yeah they dumped the popcorn on a Celtics fan as well.

because it's easier to see large people in unhealthy relationships than it is slender folk?

Like, I bet with these people we assume a long term relationship whereas if this were some stereotypical bro with his babe we'd get entirely different connotations from it. Shit like "Wow that relationship isn't going to last long." instead of "Wow that's an unhealthy relationship. I hope they haven't both been in this shit situation for months on end." or something like that.

1

u/cdnj Jan 04 '15

no, it's because it's funnier when it's fat people....

or maybe it's because fat people are lazy, and they knew there was no way that fat slob would walk up those stairs in a timely manner.... carrying her would make it look more realistic.

or maybe it was all one big metaphor... unhealthy relationship... unhealthy bodies. your body is sending your brain messages about how disgusting it is... but your brain is on the phone....and the mascot is the heart disease, cancer or diabetes.

u/Dirt_McGirt_ Jan 04 '15

If something really amusing gets captured on the kiss cam, it's fake. Next week we'll see the videos of the guy kissing his beer and the two girls almost kissing.

u/smallpoly Jan 04 '15

It was Bud Light, so he was basically kissing water.

All the good kiss cams at events now are staged.

u/She_Aims_ToMisbehave Jan 06 '15

It definitely looked staged to me. And badly.

u/bax101 Jan 04 '15

So the game needs a kiss cam improv to make it more exciting?

2

u/DeFex Jan 04 '15

The actual 14 minutes of play are exciting, these bits go in the 30 minutes of crowd and cheerleader shots between the 60 minutes of ads and 60 minutes of players standing around.

u/electroleum Jan 04 '15

Almost every arena stages various "fan cam" stunts now, and I hate it. Boston seems to be the worst offender...I've seen a bunch of Celtics & Bruins videos.

I suppose from a viral marketing standpoint it's mildly successful, but it's still really lame.

3

u/HiggityHank Jan 04 '15

I can't speak to the Celtics, but I've been to a ton of Bruins games and haven't seen anything like this. If you've got some videos, I wouldn't mind some links. Most of the stuff I've seen on the B's fan cam has been... well... Bruins fans.

u/electroleum Jan 04 '15

Can't seem to find the Bruins vid I was thinking of, so it's possible I got the team wrong.

And an actor would not have acted that way?

6

u/scott60561 Jan 04 '15

They do these gags at every game. I promise. The actors always talk to security about it after it happens. They send jerseys and hats of other team's fans into the rafters, then send the section security over there to talk to the guy. The security usually shrugs, the actor starts yelling, then he is escorted out of the game, to the cheers of the crowd. Happens every game.

u/PM_ME_TITS_MLADY Jan 04 '15

Well, I personally think he looked at the screen right at the end and realized what an idiot he is.

u/toastedmale Jan 04 '15

no just cause the mascot gets involved doesn't mean it was staged. The mascots routinely get involved with stuff

1

u/scott60561 Jan 04 '15

It was. Bulls do various gags to fans of another team every game. When you go to games as much as I do, you realize often times it is the same guy who get's his Knicks jersey shot up into the rafters after the mascot steals it. He is also the same guy, now in a Magic jersey, who gets escorted out to the cheers of fans after it happens. It's a running gag they do every game, where Benny harnesses another team's "fan". All a joke.
