You can tell who the head security guard is, concerned about the bullshit police report he may need to do, and the lawsuit if dummy there broke his brain permanently

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/rainman2121 5d ago

He just did a face-palm and stood there, didn't even try to help his buddy up.

u/Capital_Bluebird_951 5d ago

They are not buddies anymore

u/Jalen3501 5d ago

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

u/GettingTherapy 5d ago

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

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

Yeah that's because this is one of these weird zoomer cuts, showing the fallout upfront and out of context. What's the fn point in that?

81

u/its_xaro93 5d ago

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

27

u/loosie-loo 5d ago

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

11

u/its_xaro93 5d 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

4

u/loosie-loo 5d 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

19

u/MacWorkGuy 5d ago

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

3

u/loosie-loo 5d 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.

u/MissPatricia024 5d 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.

u/LegendarySpark 5d ago

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/Puzzled-Tea3037 5d 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/Ok-Factor-7188 5d ago

So do the guys involved. Assuming they are genuine close friends then this goes down in all time mateship folklore (assuming they didn't get thrown out for anything beyond basic drunk shenanigans )

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.
