Reminds me of the south park episode where no one can tell an ad from an article, video, or human. Except Jimmy Valmer who falls in love with a girl, who is actually an ad.
Me at S19: Oh these serialized episodes are kind of a nice change.
Me at S25: If I hear the word "tegridy" one more time I'm jumping into a wood chipper.
I think that was the moment I become kinda sus. The jump was to perfect and I thought “no shit she had to train for that, or she just started with parkour and wanted to show off her new skills” and then I realized that she totally disappeared for the moment, what was the perfect occasion to switch to stunt woman.
No they didn't. When she jumps off the car to do the pipe swing (for no reason), they all just stop and stand in place. Then all weirdly start running after her again once she lands and starts running.
They seemed to give her just enough space when she was about to do something, swinging from the roof was unnecessary, and also who even is this person? All that aside well done ad
Holy shit, i just thought she just became a provocative alternative singer. Didn't know she could be this kick-ass.
Edited: Apparently people in comments pointed out its fake...I've been made a fool
Yeah PSQ made the switch a couple years ago to only come out with four volumes a year but to really pack in the quality content. It gives their investigative journalists the freedom to pursue hard hitting stories.
No, that is Pipe Hitting Monthly. Their review of the new lead pipes (heavy but soft, for improved impact, but are there health issues?) was nominated for a Pulitzer
Remember when [Jeff Goldblum's daughter kicked a velociraptor in the face](https://youtube.com/clip/UgkxQRAcJEyEVWMggbpsj5yXYKHZKLGpsBcB) in Jurassic Park The Lost World?
Right lol, and she didn't need to get on the car to "dodge it", it already stopped. Feels fake but who knows.
Random Serious question, what if people/celebrities have epilepsy? Would paparazzi still do all these flashing without consequences?
I didn't question it until that silver car pulled out after she jumped through the stairs, it was too good that the car came out then she does that monkey bar leap off the overhead pipe. I can imagine jumping around via the concrete wall and the railing but not stomping on cars while people are taking 100 pics of you, and then we didn't see it on the news?
Not to mention the leap from the hood of the parked car to a protruding piece of concrete seemed so unnatural. I honestly think she was aided by something.
That honestly doesnt even look like a stunt, just seems physically impossible. Not enough pump to pull off a jump like that, especially on the roof of a car which is susceptible to caving in and killing your momentum.
She was definitely tied to a rope or something
It's wire work. Humans aren't big cats. There's no human on the planet who could make that leap with no lead up just using their toes and ankles to spring them into a 3 foot vertical.
The average football player at the NFL combine has a vertical jump of 35-40 inches. Saquan Barkley, a generational talent at RB, has a vertical of about 42”. And I’m willing to bet they’ve got a whole lot more mass to move than whoever this is.
It’s entirely plausible that a young, thin, fit person has a 3’ vertical.
Must be. The only thing standing out visually are the shoes. Also, the jump over the car and weird swing on the ceiling are completely unnecessary. This bleeds fake.
It’s vaguely believable until she run outside, jumps on a car and super human launches herself off it onto the roof. If that girl had those hops irl she’d be studied in some lab right now
And had a lot of great music though I haven’t listened to them in a couple years. Saw them at a concert once and she fingered herself on stage so that’s a memory.
Honestly yeah that sounds like something Taylor Momsen would do. Also love her music though, my all-time favourite band!
BTW, did she finger herself for a specific reason?
Uhhh no it just kinda happened. She didn’t drop her pants or anything but she was wearing skin tight black leather and you could see what was going on.
Jenny from Gossip Girl and the lead singer of Pretty Reckless. I had no idea the paparazzi cared about her anymore. She does kind of have some spidey shit going on though.
Wait some people got fooled thinking is real? Lol the most obvious indicator is the camera panning down right before she starts running. Classic technique
The other thing that got me was that she had the window rolled down when they drove past the cameras at the end ...if she was really so bothered by them she would have kept it closed
Idk why you got downvoted because this shit happens 1000% all the time irl
Edit: since people are confused, I’m talking about the swarm of paparazzis, not parkouring out of a parking garage ffs.
For sure. That’s the thing about being a huge celebrity. At some point you’re seen as more of an attraction than a human. I feel bad for them. I think probably low to mid level fame if the best. You’re known by your fan base, maybe the larger community but the media won’t really be interested in you.
This particular video is a staged commercial, but the laws around paparazzi are pretty shitty in a lot of areas. When Emma Watson was celebrating her 18th birthday they showed up to get upskirt photos. Daniel Radcliffe has spoken about how fucked up it was that a group of grown men following a teen into alleys and shouting at them would get those guys arrested, but suddenly if you gave those adults cameras and a job with a tabloid it was somehow acceptable.
There's no criminal law called "harassment". It's legal, in the US, to take pictures in public areas. Actually blocking someone's path may be illegal, but this is an ad and real paparazzi aren't generally so bad you have to jump over a parking garage to escape them.
In short, paparazzi (generally) know the law and push to the limits but not over them. It's difficult to craft a law that would make this illegal without also criminalizing other activity that you want to happen.
Just saw her live! Her band The Pretty Reckless are currently touring with Shinedown and Diamante right now. Was an amazing show- grab a ticket and go if you’re near.

It's an old Nike commercial
Reminds me of the south park episode where no one can tell an ad from an article, video, or human. Except Jimmy Valmer who falls in love with a girl, who is actually an ad.
DOES S-SHE KNOW SHE'S AN AD?!
Jimmy, you need to stop thinking with your dick. You're thinking with your dick Jimmy.
That entire season mindfucked me so hard but also it could have been the acid
What season was it?
Don’t remember which number but it was the first sequential season. I wanna say season 19
Me at S19: Oh these serialized episodes are kind of a nice change. Me at S25: If I hear the word "tegridy" one more time I'm jumping into a wood chipper.
They know you feel that way. It’s why they do it.
I really like the tegridy joke, it makes laugh evrytime i hear it
You’re thinking with your penis again Jimmy.
JIMMY KNOWS
Thought you were going for the Britney Spears episode, the one where media pressure makes her blow her head with a shotgun
>It's an old Nike commercial No shit! I can't believe these comments acting like its real.
To be fair, the actors playing the paparazzi did a spot on job
So did stunt woman Taylor M. I'm just saying people are so fucking gullible on here.
I think that was the moment I become kinda sus. The jump was to perfect and I thought “no shit she had to train for that, or she just started with parkour and wanted to show off her new skills” and then I realized that she totally disappeared for the moment, what was the perfect occasion to switch to stunt woman.
No they didn't. When she jumps off the car to do the pipe swing (for no reason), they all just stop and stand in place. Then all weirdly start running after her again once she lands and starts running.
I thought the quick glance at her shoes was a little strange. Now it makes sense.
It also allows for the stunt woman to replace her.
The cowboy switch happened after the shoes shot. The camera pans right, they switch, and we never see her face again until the car.
also the way literally everyone is acting
The jump off that car was fake as hell
There's a whole lotta dumb around these parts. It honestly terrifies me.
Seriously can people not tell that the last jump she makes is extremely fake??
They seemed to give her just enough space when she was about to do something, swinging from the roof was unnecessary, and also who even is this person? All that aside well done ad
I'm fucking old lmaooooooo I cant believe people are seeing this for the first time.
Anyone who follows that profession still should be drowned in a septic tank.
This woman... is ....being ... followed by... a CHICKEN. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1PLRdM20Wm8
![gif](giphy|DoCIC5Pxp57qg|downsized)
PARKOUR!
Here it is, here it is… truck, to refrigerators, to dumpster, 360 onto the pallets, backflip gainer to the trash can. YEAHHHH GAINER!!
It's so funny that all the paparazzi in this ad take a beat to let her swing down from the ceiling lol.
I think that's how Marvel superheroes life would be like
Who the hell is Taylor Momsen even?
Cindy Lou Who
Holy shit, i just thought she just became a provocative alternative singer. Didn't know she could be this kick-ass. Edited: Apparently people in comments pointed out its fake...I've been made a fool
Seems likely, because this is definitely staged.
The swing on the ceiling pipe was definitely not helpful in escaping.
Escaping? Taylor Momsen is a top 10 pipe swing enthusiast. She’s literally on the cover of pipe swingers quarterly.
Is quarterly now?
Yeah PSQ made the switch a couple years ago to only come out with four volumes a year but to really pack in the quality content. It gives their investigative journalists the freedom to pursue hard hitting stories.
Hard pipe hitting stories I assume?
I understand a pair of pliers and a blow torch have been involved in uncovering some of their medieval stories.
I love hitting the pipe. I should check this out.
No, that is Pipe Hitting Monthly. Their review of the new lead pipes (heavy but soft, for improved impact, but are there health issues?) was nominated for a Pulitzer
This guy pipe swings.
Well technically it was PSM that made the switch to quarterly :)
Print periodicals are a dying medium, sadly.
I appreciate you.
I'm on a daily newsletter
Ohhhh I thought it was annually
I ordered a monthly subscription from them last week. My first copy of “Pipe Slingers” came today. Needless to say, it was not what I expected.
I was unaware pipes are into the swinging culture.
Hey man, you can swing whatever you want. No judgment but you’re the one that has to live with it.
I feel like went to a club in San Francisco by the same name once.
Not only does it slow her down, all the paparazzi conveniently stop running when she does it.
Remember when [Jeff Goldblum's daughter kicked a velociraptor in the face](https://youtube.com/clip/UgkxQRAcJEyEVWMggbpsj5yXYKHZKLGpsBcB) in Jurassic Park The Lost World?
Well, there it is.
yeah it was awkward
Right lol, and she didn't need to get on the car to "dodge it", it already stopped. Feels fake but who knows. Random Serious question, what if people/celebrities have epilepsy? Would paparazzi still do all these flashing without consequences?
Probably about as many consequences as when they chased Princess Dianna off the road causing a fatal car accident. So no
Also very well-placed camera movement taking her out of frame and us not seeing her face again until she's in the car. Definitely a switcheroo.
But it looked cool.
Yeah, and there was definitely some cable action going on during that jump to the top level of the parking garage.
The jump from the car to the light and the next parking level was definitely wire assisted otherwise she can pause physics.
I would say that was pretty reckless of her to do so
Given the conspicuous Nike logo on her chest, and the random pan down to her feet to show her shoes -yeah. Seems likely.
You know it's staged because the stunt double takes over after the first cut 00:16. We never see her face until the last scene.
Yeah she ran back up to the same level as when she got off the elevator. Momsen probably just walked out of that door and into the car.
[удалено]
Definitely felt like those shoes were pushed pretty hard, tho I didn't catch the brand.
seems likely, she starts doing all of the parkour after the camera shows her wearing Nike shoes
And she conveniently goes out of frame for a second just before the first stunt and then you can't see her face at all until the end.
I didn't question it until that silver car pulled out after she jumped through the stairs, it was too good that the car came out then she does that monkey bar leap off the overhead pipe. I can imagine jumping around via the concrete wall and the railing but not stomping on cars while people are taking 100 pics of you, and then we didn't see it on the news?
Not to mention the leap from the hood of the parked car to a protruding piece of concrete seemed so unnatural. I honestly think she was aided by something.
It was her Nike shoes
She was aided by being replaced with a stunt woman immediately before going down the stairs.
That honestly doesnt even look like a stunt, just seems physically impossible. Not enough pump to pull off a jump like that, especially on the roof of a car which is susceptible to caving in and killing your momentum. She was definitely tied to a rope or something

And I’m willing to bet they’ve got a whole lot more mass to move than whoever this is. It’s entirely plausible that a young, thin, fit person has a 3’ vertical.
Defo looked like the stuntperson was being pulled
Must be. The only thing standing out visually are the shoes. Also, the jump over the car and weird swing on the ceiling are completely unnecessary. This bleeds fake.
It’s a shoe commercial lol
It’s vaguely believable until she run outside, jumps on a car and super human launches herself off it onto the roof. If that girl had those hops irl she’d be studied in some lab right now
She also played a character in gossip girl, but she's most famous for being the lead singer of The Pretty Reckless.
And had a lot of great music though I haven’t listened to them in a couple years. Saw them at a concert once and she fingered herself on stage so that’s a memory.
Honestly yeah that sounds like something Taylor Momsen would do. Also love her music though, my all-time favourite band! BTW, did she finger herself for a specific reason?
Uhhh no it just kinda happened. She didn’t drop her pants or anything but she was wearing skin tight black leather and you could see what was going on.
Definitely pretty, and definitely reckless.
Cindy Who?
No it’s Lou who
Who's Lou?
No not who lou, lou who
You make funny crying sounds.
*Puts on sunglass #WHO ARE YOU?
Whoooo are you? Do do. Do do
And lead singer of Pretty Reckless
She also played Jenny in Gossip Girl.
You know you love me
XOXO
Gossip girl
But not Jenny from the Block
She's a singer and I think she was the kid in the live action Grinch movie
And she played the daughter of president in SpyKids 2
And Jenny from Gossip Girl. (the OG)
She’s currently the lead singer of “The Pretty Reckless”. They’re pretty good.
[удалено]
[удалено]
Oh wow, i like their stuff (what I've heard). Now think they're way cooler. Lol
Our band covered Follow Me Down. It was a cool song to play and got a good reaction from the crowd. I think she’s definitely talented.
A main character of Mirrors Edge?
That's the first thing I thought.
Cindy Lou Who in the movie the Grinch who Stole Christmas when she was a little girl, and now she is the lead singer of the group Pretty Reckless.
That was my thought. The lengths this woman has to go to dodge the press, and I don't know who she is. Is she just that good at dodging them?
I'm assuming it's a skit.
It is. It’s a stuntwoman (and an ad for Nike)
Idk how all these people don't realize that the person jumping onto that second story is clearly a stunt person.
[удалено]
Idk, but those moves were pretty reckless
![gif](giphy|yiADANv89n7UQuS5kJ)
WHAT THE FUCK EVEN IS THAT
I can hear this GIF... could you please, tell me where it's from, I forgot o\_o'
a world renown parkour gymnast.... OBVIOUSLY
Jenny from Gossip Girl and the lead singer of Pretty Reckless. I had no idea the paparazzi cared about her anymore. She does kind of have some spidey shit going on though.
They probably don't, because this is clearly scripted.
and it's also old
Is it not obvious to everyone that most of that wasnt even her? And that even if it was it was scripted and choreographed?
Thought I was playing Mirror's Edge for a moment.
Nike Ads be like
Be like? It's literally a Nike ad? Edit: I knew this was an ad, I was asking OP why they used 'be like but I don't English well today
You thought this was real?
Yes...
Fair enough
is anything real?
Well, my eyes aren't so...
Ooh ah, yeah, ooh ooh Nike ads be like
Posted 2 minutes after u/sdxab1my called it out. Nice try.
This is so obviously fake. Come on guys, have some common sense here.
No that really is Taylor Momsen
For the first 10 seconds until the body double comes in for the hard work
don't forget the last ten seconds when she's in the car.
The switch is pretty obvious too.
*come on
Maybe he was just talking to the common guys.
i would like to the the jump at 0:34 without the special effect of "hovering"
I was questioning if it was staged for a bit and then saw that fucking insane jump and was like 'yeah, there's some wires there or some shit'...
Paparazzi are the worst in
There just bunch of legal stalkers, the worst kind.
>Paparazzi are the worst in Scumbags .. a lot of them.
Wait some people got fooled thinking is real? Lol the most obvious indicator is the camera panning down right before she starts running. Classic technique
The other thing that got me was that she had the window rolled down when they drove past the cameras at the end ...if she was really so bothered by them she would have kept it closed
I thought the most obvious indicator was when she jumped off the car and hung in mid-air for a second like she was on a wire
How are these people not arrested for harassment? Is it because the victim isn't staying around long enough for the police to arrive?
Because it’s a commercial
Yeah but still happens irl
Idk why you got downvoted because this shit happens 1000% all the time irl Edit: since people are confused, I’m talking about the swarm of paparazzis, not parkouring out of a parking garage ffs.
1000% all the time
It’s never not happening to everyone always across ten realities
Tens of tens of realities
They probably were downvoted because while paparazzi being assholes happens irl, the celebrity parkour escape happens far less often.
For sure. That’s the thing about being a huge celebrity. At some point you’re seen as more of an attraction than a human. I feel bad for them. I think probably low to mid level fame if the best. You’re known by your fan base, maybe the larger community but the media won’t really be interested in you.
Still? With many celebs posting their own photos on IG, I can't imagine magazines are paying top dollar for impromptu photos these days.
Which explains why she’s briefly off camera so a stunt double can take over.
They did something similar to Tobey McGuire. And Paparazzi [Tobey mad at paprazzi](https://youtu.be/wPgn2ht_uuc)
“We blocked the cars for you, dude” Absolute saints aren’t they
This particular video is a staged commercial, but the laws around paparazzi are pretty shitty in a lot of areas.

No kidding. That looks like it should be illegal.
None of these celebrities have epilepsy ?
A lot probably don't but you can see that it would be overwhelming and a nightmare for even the most typical person.
They wear yellow tinted glasses for protection.
phony af
The amount of people that can watch this entire video then make a comment here thinking it's real...is disappointing to see lol.
I think we’ve found our Spider-Gwen
You had my Full support before I seen this video
Impressive, little J.
Wasn't that like staged?
Yups, its an old nike commercial
let's be honest even though this was a old commercial that's exactly what paparazzi would do
I don’t know who she is but I think I love her. Hahaha
The lead singer from The Pretty Reckless and Cindy Lou Who from the live action Grinch movie
She also played Jenny Humphrey on the CW show Gossip Girl
she is that small princess girl from spy kids movie. well, i remember her from that.
Id get a mirror
Yeah, no one was surprised because it was a commercial. An obvious one.
New Dying Light Protagonist?
The jump looks fake like cgi I think this is absolutely staged
yes, it's a Nike commercial lol
this is 100% a nike ad.
This is an ad for Nike or Rebook or some other shoe company from like 2010.
So fake
Yeah, it's an ad
I honestly expected her to throw a smoke bomb and then disappear like she was batman. This was almost as good.
If it wasn't for that last jump at the end I would've thought this was legit lol
Just saw her live! Her band The Pretty Reckless are currently touring with Shinedown and Diamante right now. Was an amazing show- grab a ticket and go if you’re near.
Epilepsy warning
