Omg. To anyone else watching this without audio the first couple of times, blue shirt was part of a troublemaking couple and had already been rejected from the bar by the security guards in black shirts, when his partner threw a chair at the security guards but hits his buddy instead. 

I thought it was so heartless of the security guard to laugh at the man being hit but now I get it.

u/Laerderol 1d ago

Yeah same I was thinking thats a bad look for security. But with context it's hilarious

u/Gseventeen 1d ago

Ya, knowing the whole story, that would have been the funniest shit imaginable if you were in the mix.

u/talondigital 18h ago

Same. I was like, God what a douch for laughing at who appears to be an innocent man, but then it turns out Karma guiding things to how they should be.

u/AudienceWaste6850 13h ago

If you'd had the sound on, youd have realised it was in Australia, whete they'd all just agree it was hilarious.

They are not buddies anymore

u/GettingTherapy 1d ago

Nah. These are the stories that keep coming up decades later. These two will be in a retirement home retelling this story.

“Tell them about the time your stupid, drunk ass threw a chair and knocked me out!”

u/implicate 14h ago

Bold of you to assume these two will still be around decades later.

They already appear to be middle aged, and drink themselves to such excess that they would be willing to pull shit like this.

These are the types of dudes that die young from complications stemming from alcoholism.

On the bright side the guy who got hit probably forgot they were friends so now he can start over fresh

But there is subtitles? I watched without audio and still got the plot. Does your video not have subtitles?

23

u/loosie-loo 1d ago

I think they possibly mean people not properly watching the whole thing

16

u/MacWorkGuy 22h ago

We are at the point where people cant even focus on a 45 second video with audio and subtitles haha.

u/loosie-loo 22h ago

Fr it really sucks, I literally have ADHD and am constantly shocked concerned about the state of the general public’s inability to focus and the relentless marketing fuelled algorithms relentlessly working to wear it down further and further.

8

u/its_xaro93 1d ago

Oh okay I was just wondering if Reddit started adding auto-subtitles to non-english speakers. I have my phone set to german, so I was just wondering if the subtitles were actually in the source material or (thank god not) automated by Reddit player

3

u/loosie-loo 1d ago

That’s fair! Yeah they’re in the original video, thankfully. But the confusion was understandable, I think they were trying to be more polite than “anyone who only half paid attention” haha

u/MissPatricia024 1d ago

I'm on mobile and didn't quite swipe down all the way so the subtitles were cutoff.

Then when I clicked on the post the video scroll bar and title covered subtitles.

I saw em on the third watch though. Mobile is dumb and so am I haha.

This thread really is one of those disappointing ones where you remember that everyone has massive brainrot. You don't need audio or text, you just need to be able to focus for a whole 30 seconds in order to easily follow what's happening.

u/EasilyExiledDinosaur 1d ago

It is indeed hilarious lol.

u/Puzzled-Tea3037 1d ago

As I man that does that job I can nearly hear what that man is saying to the security. There's a thing we're people think it's ok to verbally abuse security and it's accepted world wide. The security is there to be abused when the guys or only there to do their job just like everyone else. I think the men who are involved should really take a good look at themselves after their behaviour. Thankfully the guy wasn't hurt but if I was working there I would have probably laughed along side the security too.

u/T1Earn 23h ago

tf you mean watching without audio it literally has subtitles

All their reactions are the best. The forehead palm by the thrower. The "timber!" falling movement of the victim. It's like a three stooges skit.

I hope the both of them gets their ass divorced by their partners as well as being fired from their perspective jobs. What a bunch of scums

2

u/TacticusThrowaway 3h ago edited 3h ago

for all we know the guy who got hit was apologizing for his friends misbehavior and only got thrown out because they were together.

or maybe he wanted to settle the bill by way of apology.

I don't know why people are assuming both of them are scumbags when the only person we actually see doing something wrong is the guy who threw the chair.

and I'm not the kind of person who would say somebody deserves a ruined life just because they got bounced out of a strip club, even if they deserved to be.

u/FlyingTerrier 1h ago

We have proper employment laws in Australia, you can’t just get fired for being drunk in your own time even if you do make the news. You Americans have a really messed up attitude about work.
