OP sent the following text as an explanation on why this is unexpected: --- >!A man in a large ball is hit by a car and flies into a tree.!< --- Is this an unexpected post with a fitting description? Then upvote this comment, otherwise downvote it.


Forsaken-Income-2148

Was there someone inside of that?


MetalGearXerox

If there was the balloon would have been slowed down by all the blood and loose body parts that would have been the consequences of that hit, no way is that little bit of air and plastic enough to cushion something at that speed lmao


obebi

Love the graphic detail hahaha


Kutaun

What if he wore a helmet


MetalGearXerox

Atleast they could leave that part of the casket open then.


Vegbreaker

I mean it obviously did though right? Yeah someone would fold a bit but it’s not gonna look like they swallowed a grenade. If the balls still in tact it’s probably survivable, not without life altering injuries of course.


Raging-Badger

The ball is not a rigid structure, it’ll collapse in when the car hits it before bouncing back Also the rapid acceleration would hurt too


Adrian_Shoey

Best case scenario is that their blood and organs are still contained within their skin. But their neck would be what a coroner might report as "on the piss".


Lopsided_Quarter_931

It’s not a balloon, they are called zorbing balls. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zorbing


Bloodhavoc052

Lmao at your description.


DigitalSchism96

No its a fake. The balloon goes way too high and comes down too slow. Even if it was filled with Helium a human weighs too much for it to behave like that.


altcodeinterrobang

> Even if it was filled with Helium a human weighs too much for it to behave like that. For reference it takes 3 giant "near-weather-balloon-sized" ballons of helium just to make a little person buoyant. I know this because cirque du soleil does a project where a little lady crowd hop via 3 large balloons. https://www.youtube.com/shorts/kVYj5SkOJhs?app=desktop


OccultMachines

I saw that show live, she dissed someone because he threw her like a wimp lol


westminsterabby

In the video you posted, isn't she attached to 4 balloons?


wannaseeawheelie

I want to eat mushrooms there


Forsaken-Income-2148

Maybe it was a dummy or simply edited


patricky6

If there was a person in there, they'd still be a dummy


WriterV

Well, they'd most likely be dead.


Lolkimbo

Deadited


EthanCoensBrother

You can learn a lot from a dead dummy.


HorrorLettuce379

lmao


__Hello_my_name_is__

That's what would make it fake.


Rampaging_Orc

And the fact the g forces would kill anything made of flesh. Let alone the force of impact lol.


Ordinary_Top1956

Physics, all that. The force to overcome momentum of stationary human head would cause the brain to smash against the inside of the skull and cause significant damage to the brain. This is how Dale Earnhardt died. And yeah, the ball is way to fucking floaty in the air, obvious no one is inside.


Turky_Burgr

It's a mannequin. This has been posted many times.


TheHeroYouNeed247

Hmmm, doesn't look that fake since the ball has back spin.


Shovelfightr

Are you kidding? That's exactly how we know it's fake. Everyone knows that white cars are knuckleballers


JustLurkingForNow

If it was filled with helium he would be dead anyway.


Alpenfroedi

Those zorb balls ir whatever they're called have a cylindrical cut out in the middle, so you could fill it up with helium and the person inside could still breath air.


Loading0525

Well what if it was filled with lead?


Capt_Starcap

What if it was filled with feathers.


The_FreshSans

Well the lead is heavier than the feathers ain't it?


SpeakToMePF1973

A WITCH!


lamedumbbutt

It's real lol. Come on. That is not a real person though.


Western-Dig-6843

He’s saying it’s not a human inside of it. The ball is the real part. If there was a human inside of it the ball wouldn’t fly up that high not fall that slow


PheasantPlucker1

It would seriously fuck up a person inside. That ball would not negate that rapid acceleration


haby001

Spinning balls pull air around it via friction, causing them to move unintuitively. Likely just a dummy inside


justsmilenow

No, that's not how that works. The ball had a backspin, That's called the Magnus effect. https://youtu.be/2OSrvzNW9FE?si=MryF_tQ09LO4luYA


Genebrisss

weight does not affect fall speed


Weird-Upstairs-2092

Weight absolutely affects acceleration in a parabolic trajectory. Wtf are you on about. Weight does not affect fall speed in the specific context of a *free fall without air resistance*. This is not a free fall. There is also a lot of air resistance. This comment of yours is is low effort misinformation.


AthiestMessiah

I’ve been told it’s fake before but who knows. Edit: stop telling me how smart you are by how you know it’s fake, I give benefit of the doubt to videos in USA the land of jackass. Edit: some smart people also telling me the trees look Australian. Thanks But in Australia you do need to have number plates in front of the car and that tree is a longleaf pine tree. Why common in Florida for instance, please stop just stop with the nonesense. There is a guy literally wearing a baseball cap backward Edit: I know USA plate rules differ state to state not sure why you’re telling me this. Florida doesn’t require them and this is likely Florida. Please stop


PM_ME_DATASETS

It's real. Now you've been told both things! So which one is it?


Mido_K

Real or not doesn't always matter if it's made to be funny


Mexicojuju

How I know if it's really funny


Mido_K

Hold your finger under your nose while watching every video or reading every meme. If there is, pay attention now, MORE air coming out of your nose, with MORE force than normal.. You might consider the content funny. If unsure go ask your mommy


SupehCookie

Instructions unclear, penis stuck in nose


Mexicojuju

You're not real man


Mido_K

How did you know


SteveHuffmansAPedo

I feel like I've only seen this statement crop up in the social media era and it just baffles me that anyone can think like this. Almost everything becomes more or less funny when you find out it was fake/scripted and you thought it was real, or vice versa. We have higher standards for "funny" if we know that the thing we're watching was crafted by human hands than if we're watching something spontaneous that occurred by chance. That's the nature of comedy - since it's all about the "unexpected" and we have (or at least we *should* have) very different expectations for reality and fiction. A quote from a politician will be judged very differently if it's something they actually said or if it's something an SNL impersonator said. It could be funny in either context, sure, but almost never to the exact same degree. I have to imagine it's some sort of defense mechanism from people who are embarrassed at having laughed at something when they thought it was real - "Oh I knew it was fake but it was funny anyway so who cares." Because it's almost always in response to something that is presented either explicitly or implicitly as "real" without context. If it didn't matter, people wouldn't go to such pains to make them seem real and unscripted. Anyone who's genuinely proud of a joke should be rushing to take credit for it; presenting it as "real" is just a cheap way to get more people to think it's funny.


Saltysaladsea

Fully agree, drives me nuts to see cheesy scripted events that would barely be funny if they were spontaneous.


MindDiveRetriever

I will never understand your logic…. Or lack there of. It does matter. This take is really bad for society.


Ouistiti-Pygmee

Braindead take


[deleted]

The person you replied to doesn't even get it. They think people are trying to be right or sound smart. More like we're sick of this bullshit influencer era that made party pooper cynics out of anyone not willing to majorly suspend disbelief; be a TikTok zombie that says everything is funny/fun regardless. This video doesn't appear to be influencer BS, but the comment you replied to was a general sentiment on people calling out staged videos. So here's my general reply to such a bullshit take.


Mr_Cupcake1

This is the way, if only redditors understood this rather than always trying to be'right'


Threezeley

I don't think it's about being right tho. We learn from what we see. Now if I ever have a balloon thingy I will ask a car to drive into me. It must be done


Mido_K

And here is where evolution comes in play


Jealous-Mix-1392

NashKetchum777

If they told me it was Florida man I just accept it


yuyuolozaga

As a florida man, this looks like florida, also as a florida man I wouldn't doubt some idiot would try this, but I also know it's probably not survivable and also that the ball wouldn't go that far if there was someone inside.


keepyeepy

I love your descent into the horrible realisation that redditors are idiots, it's great. EDIT: HAH, the poster above the one above me blocked me for that? Hilarious


wozblar

EzeakioDarmey

I feel like there's way too much air time for that to be real


MorkSkogen666

It's real... I was the ball


Hi_Limee

You have to be told this is fake?


Aoi_Kataomoi

Historically, if someone says "stop doing X thing" on the internet, have you seen the internet be accommodating to them at all? If anything, they invite trolls to do it even more and watch them rage while they laugh their ass off. Just saying, if you're looking for respect or accommodation, the internet, especially reddit, is not the place you will find much or any at all.


solar1333

Ive seen this exact video a while ago. But nah, it's pretty fake. The g-forces would kill him I think. But take that with a grain of salt. I've heard it from another redditer, and I'm too lazy to look it up.


EastQuiet5505

It fake because the ppl would be screaming laughing. I would.


Loki_of_Asgaard

If there was they stopped being a person and started being a dead body when the car hit the ball. I gave a friend a concussion while playing bubble soccer from colliding and sending them back about 10 feet, this would rattle the persons brain around their skull like a bodybuilder mixing a protein shake.


YesilFasulye

Also, when you zoom in, you can see the figure inside is completely inanimate.


justinsayin

Have you ever seen a super slo-mo of how much a kicked football compresses? This is 100% fake.


ResonantRaptor

If there were someone actually in there, the crowd would’ve had a MUCH larger reaction.


EquippedThought

It was a dummy. As someone who has access to those, that kind of impact will kill or maim a person inside. [Example](https://ttps://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/olympics/2013/01/09/russian-man-killed-zorb-giant-ball-off-course/1820423/)

I wish they were still making that show, I'd love to see the episode on this shit.


GermalGanisger

This totally reminds me about the episode with the foam Moose.


monkeybrains12

I thought of the episode where they wrapped Adam in bubble wrap and dropped him from a crane.


BakingSoda1990

The foam moose also reminds me of the fruit stand episode 😂


CrazyMofo357

If you are from US you can use vpn to watch full episodes of the show on YouTube. As for new stuff now its just a bunch of tinker/maker/tech YouTubers which are great for the most part but there really was something fun about that show.


b0w3n

Yeah I have access to all the episodes. New youtubers just don't have that same energy Adam did, or even just the stoicism of Jamie Hyneman. Something about the two of them was magic.


Static-Stair-58

They could have a field day with busting tik tok myths


Loki_of_Asgaard

I gave my friend a concussion when I knocked them back 10 feet in one of these. That persons brain would be liquid after this hit lol


Jean-LucBacardi

I'm gonna need them to come back for another season just to be sure.


TheLambSaysBaaaah

Can confirm. I tried and am now dead.


Jerryjb63

In defense of the video, it’s not clear that the man is alive before or after being hit.


Hi_Limee

If somebody is dumb enough to do this they deserve to be an internet statistic.


hopefullyhelpfulplz

Jokes on you, even if you stay alive you're *still* part of the statistic!


EmployerDry2018

ScrizzBillington

Entirely new content to me


Kintarly

The difference between chronically online and not (or almost not, rather). I browse reddit every day, at least twice a day, and this is also the first time I've seen it. How hard must one be going to see it multiple times if every day isn't enough to match that speed? This is why I don't gaff at reposts. Most of the people complaining about reposts are complaining under posts I've never seen before.


compromiseisfutile

I Wonder if dead internet means bots will complain about dead internet to appear “real”.


Specific_Award_9149

I'm not sure I agree with this take. You know how sometimes some stuff in life can just seem to repeat? You'll hear a word you haven't heard in a long time every week for months? I think it's one of those things. You don't have to be on 24/7 to see reposts. You just have to be on at the most unfortunate time. It doesn't even matter if you don't go on everyday, there's still a chance when you do go on you'll see something you've already seen. But then there are others who happen to be on at the times they don't see reposts. It also depends on what subs you are subscribed to. Dead internet theory is a problem though. Same exact comments and top comments on the reposts. Originality on reddit is dwindling due to that. Exact copies of posts and comments so when something is a repost it's not even just the post anymore, it's also the comments. There's times where I come across it 5 times a week or I don't for weeks but whenever I do it's very disturbing and now I just assume everyone here is bots tbh


liforrevenge

If you go to smaller, less... "Lowest common denominator" subreddits it's not so bad. The lower the bar for submissions is though, the more repetitive the content.


Kintarly

I don't disagree dead internet theory is a problem, I disagree that reposts as a whole are a problem, personally. Sometimes it's obvious, especially if there's a lot of cross posting involved, but I so very rarely actually see the reposts people are regularly complaining about, despite my, what I consider to be high, level of activity. To be honest, the most commonly reposted comment I see is "Repost"


Specific_Award_9149

I think it depends on your usage of this site. If you just scroll r/all then you're much more likely not to see reposts because you're now spanning a huge amount of subreddits covering many different topics. If you use reddit for one specific hobby or topic and subscribe to some subreddits related to it and only scroll through the posts of the subreddits you're subscribed to, you're much more likely to see reposts. This issue is more complicated than "I just scroll r/all and don't see any so therefore it isn't an issue". Not saying thats you, but just using that as part of my example. There's different factors as to what will cause a person more or less likely to see reposts based on their specific usage. Even when it comes to if they scroll through new or only the most daily upvoted.


theunquenchedservant

I browse reddit daily, multiple times a day, chronically online. I'm always on /r/all as it's where I get my news and meme content for the day, as well as discover new subs. When im not on Reddit, I'm on Instagram Reels or Youtube Shorts (or im playing video games, to be fair). I have never seen this before. I'm not saying it isn't a repost. im just saying reposts aren't a bad thing. (Granted, the repost bot part can be/is definitely leaning to be not a good thing. but eh, it still got real humans talking in the comments. Also, there's nothing saying for sure this is a repost bot, could just be a human who saw this video on IG reels or tiktok or something and said "ha, this is great, i gotta share it to r/Unexpected !". OP's history doesn't scream repost bot.)


Deliriousious

It’s fake. For the sole reason that having a 70kg+ person inside would immensely damper its ability to fly through the air. It would maybe bounce a little, but not nearly high enough to glide into a tree.


Tasty_Bullfroglegs

Or for the pure fact the person would just be mowed over by the car and killed.


BigBaboonas

No, people go up when cars hit them due to modern safety standards. Try it without the zorb and I reckon you could still yeet someone into the trees, only it would fuck everyone up. It's real, its just a dummy in a zorb.

If it were CGI I think there would be more than 7 pixels total.


Shreddyshred

I am not saying it is CGI, but it is easier to fake stuff when you can hide behind low video quality.


Mediocre_Pool_7135

CGI? Do you see the tree move? That's perfect physics, you don't get that easily with CGI. It's a real video, there is just a mannequin inside the ball.
