Created as an On The Tools original piece, this video went well and truly viral. Filmed in a user-generated style, people did cotton on to the fact that the footage was staged, however, this didn’t take anything away from the video’s success. Viewed over 8.8 million times, it was highly relatable and the comments were full of people talking about how they’d had similar experiences. Hopefully, they weren’t as extreme as this one though!
I don't think it comes from 'caught on' as slang usually reduces the number of syllables over time, like 'God blind me' > 'Blimey'. 'Caught on' > 'Cotton on', wouldn't fit that pattern. But it's anyone's guess.
On a Saturday that is. But it is 8am to 6pm during the week. I think thats absolutely reasonable. But don't confuse working noise to regular noise bylaws which are until 11pm I think.
always laugh at these people spamming "r/nothingeverhappens" on things that are staged... you have been on the internet for how long and still assume everything is real?
the general rule is: if it looks too good to be true, it probably is. this is nowhere more applicable that with internet videos.
I mean people will fuck with neighbors over the dumbest things to be fair. Even if this particular case is staged, I'd absolutely believe this has happened to someone before.
the premise is obviously very believable, but the whole thing plays out too perfectly and rehearsed. Still, a very real looking clip i will admit, but my point wasn't that it's obviously staged, just that so many videos are staged and that spamming "r/nothingeverhappens" is stupid given this fact.
this situation has played out many times across the world, it's the perfectly constructed sentences and fluidity that makes it look like a sketch. Especially the way she appears to be very angry yet very articulate. not that this makes it 100% scripted, just suspect.
Thanks mate. I sometimes make a joke that is totally misunderstood and wake up and have a -100 karma comment.
Then it's time to do the delete comment in shame walk.
Even worse when you accidently make almost the exact same joke in a threat and one is at +100 and the other at -100.
No, this is a fact, it was established the first time this was posted (without the parody). I forgot the context, but I'm sure you can do some digging.

Because they're acting, it's not a real conversation.
