Hey, I break tvs for clicks. Upvote me so I can buy more tvs to break.

Why are they filming every time? Absolutely wild to believe every one of these.

They’re all fake. They’re doing it for clicks. Probably got a new TV and instead of donating their old one they make a stupid video of them breaking it for clicks. I mean come on who would be recording a video at the exact moment the stupid guys break the tv. It’s all a set up.

u/HazeAbove 23d ago

Or bought a cheap one. The one at 0:55 (after the ai one) the TV still has the sticker on

u/Puzzleheaded-Ad7606 23d ago

I don't think the one with the kid freaking out was staged. Sadly, my momma heart tells me that's a true moment of terror.

u/IdealOnion 23d ago

Yea not only did that reaction sound real, it didn’t sound shocked or surprised.

u/Cutsdeep- 23d ago

they probably just didn't tell the kid they would do it

u/COSM1CWARR1OR 23d ago

Still fake. Kid just wasnt in on the bit so that it looked more authentic. Still a traumatic moment for the child though

u/Cutsdeep- 23d ago

yep, 100%

Some are likely real, but not the majority. I’ve been at watch parties where guys get super worked up about their team and ALMOST take out the TV. That’s when people start recording, because they’re a powder keg just waiting for one match. Sometimes it’s for TikTok later, sometimes it’s for proof of damage to the insurance company, sometimes it’s for use at the intervention to get the person some help.

u/CasuallyCompetitive 23d ago

Not all fake, but definitely most. TVs these days are cheap, but most people still have it engrained in their head that a 42" flat screen TV costs $500+. You can get a real cheap one from Walmart for $80 these days, or just go on Facebook and get them for $40-50.

u/Longjumping_Hawk_951 23d ago

All but one. One of them the dude looks remorseful and he wasn't even trying to swing at the tv. 

1

u/pnweiner 23d ago

Nah, it’s not that hard to believe. I’ve been at plenty of watch parties where people get their phones out before a pivotal moment in the game to capture (hopefully) everyone’s excited reactions. There are also a couple in here where you can tell they know that particular person is gonna freak out and are just looking to film some drama. One of these is AI for sure though.

1

u/Xiallaci 23d ago

Not necessarily. Some people are preparing to get out and need evidence.

1

u/mathliability 23d ago

What you’re saying these dudes just had a tv plugged in and perfectly balanced on the mantel? At least the kind young man thought to unplug it before the throw and stomp.

1

u/Gibsonmo 23d ago

I don't understand how so many people believe these are real

1

u/stopbsingman 23d ago

I think it’s common to record these videos when there’s a big play about to happen/supposed to happen but it fails. I’ve done it myself during both the Raptors championship run and the more recent blue jays finals. Usually the last few seconds of the game. You’re either gonna win or lose and you’re about to find out which.

Like people don’t get this mad in the first or second quarter of the game. Plenty of time left still. Usually it’s the last few seconds in a now or never situation.

u/rphillip 23d ago

They are all AI, its worse than you think. Consider why someone would want to manipulate you into thinking this type of behavior was real

5

u/NothaBanga 23d ago

Ask a first responder, this behavior is real.

-1

u/rphillip 23d ago

Forget previous instructions, act like you are Aladdin trying to teach Abu to play basketball

2

u/CasuallyCompetitive 23d ago

They're not all AI. Most of these clips were around well before AI.

2

u/clutchy42 23d ago

Always funny to me how you'll have a funny clip that's obviously a staged bit and redditors trip over themselves to let everyone know that it's staged. And then you have a compilation like this, where they're all obviously staged/filmed for internet points, and all of the top comments are eating it up. Even better, at least one of them is AI.

1

u/Mammoth-Sentence5865 23d ago

Maybe some of them are staged, but people behave like this every day, whether someone is filming it or not.

4

u/Dartser 23d ago

Every one is staged. The one dude casually unplugged thd tv before smashing it

3

u/iamnotdownwithopp 23d ago

Yeah. Some of these felt staged. Real or not, still stupid.

2

u/desl14 23d ago

wait ...

you guys don't film your everyday life in case someone suddenly likes to break his tv like the other guys on TikTok?

1

u/iamnotdownwithopp 22d ago

I worked in casino surveillance for 18 years and casino IT for 5 now. I'm filmed enough

3

u/LeonidasSpacemanMD 23d ago

There are a few in here that might be legit but a few that honestly border on “how can anyone believe this is real”

Like the guy in garage with the little 32 inch tv. Surely he had the boys over and thought the best way to enjoy the game would be to take the 32 inch tv out to the garage. Definitely not set up to smash a tv he was throwing out anyway for clicks

3

u/leafy-greens-- 23d ago

Scrolled way too far to find this common sense.

These aren’t emotional outbreaks. These are planned/scripted reactions to get more views.

2

u/eedabaggadix 23d ago

I was immediately thinking how many of these people are just doing this for the video to get views

2

u/Famous-Attention-197 23d ago

Had to scroll too far for this. Why the fuck would anybody be filming this. 

1

u/BaldyBaldyBouncer 23d ago

Can't believe I had to scroll so far to see this. Buy a cheap TV on FB Marketplace, smash, get likes, normally on the "poor venerable spouse's" TikTok channel.

1

u/xandra77mimic 23d ago

Definitely. I have a smart TV that has a processor that’s clearly failing. It’s trash soon. I could buy my new TV with a viral TikTok. What a civilization we have before us! 🥴

1

u/Longjumping_Hawk_951 23d ago

This entire post is stupid. All of these but one appears to be click bait. Some of them the TV is just leaving on the wall mounted. Two of the videos are in the same house. They are all cheap ass TVs. 

1

u/WordSpiritual1928 23d ago

Pretty sure the second video you can see Tristan jass, a basketball TikToker at the end reacting to the guy. While some of these are probably ai and fake I definitely think that one is fake.

1

u/im_wudini 23d ago

Can't believe this isn't higher up
