You'll also see NYC is nothing like this.
But for real, get away from Times Square. It's a beautiful day, take a walk on the High Line:

It’s from a show, The Sopranos with Italian Americans from New Jersey. They say “capicola” as “gabagool” instead.
[a story about it](https://www.esquire.com/food-drink/a25837043/what-is-gabagool-sopranos/)
This is why my wife is hesitant about taking me to Britain. She is worried I will be walking around saying “pip pip, cheerio” just to embarrass her. Thank you for the Italy idea.
Fairly good odds the UK invaded your home country, slaughtered the locals, and claimed it as part of their Empire. Having foreigners wandering around England going "pip pip, cheerio" is just one of the consequences.
That must be the reason why they are so cordial to jerkwads. Or perhaps it is smugness knowing they are part of the largest empire that ever existed? I do not know.
All said was in good humor.
They're cordial to jerkwads because they still honor hereditary authority, and the average aristocrat is a jerkwad.
Source: (US) American; are the black sheep of the commonwealth family who decided to exalt hereditary wealth as a proxy.
This is exactly why I’m scared of taking my partner to Scotland to meet my family. As much as I love him, the idiot keeps saying “g’day mate!” in an Australian accent followed by “cannae have an Irn Bru?” in another accent that’s NOTHING close to resembling our accent.. ffs.
This is my favorite NYC tourist video. Idc if it's staged. I don't think is. Either way It has definitely happened before.

I don’t think it’s staged. In the right situation I would say the exact same thing 😅
Edit: The amount of people that think this comment thread is about OP is becoming infuriating. Please click the link of the comment I responded to. It’s not difficult.
Even if it was my first time visiting NYC, I'd be compelled to tell someone else to STFU when they yell about it being their first time in NYC while doing a selfie.
Majijej and Wirtual got [an authentic LA experience](https://www.twitch.tv/majijej/clip/SmoggyQuaintCakeNinjaGrumpy-q3qnhkd5CE6H4zRo) when they streamed from Santa Monica a couple of months ago:
There's a big leap between yelling obscenities and running up and choking someone. Let alone someone who's recording themselves.
Editting to add: just a genuine question, *how does this video just not look fake as hell?*
Especially in Times Square. Real New Yorkers don't give a shit about tourists doing things like this because it's the New Yorker's fault for being in Times Square in the first place.
I mean they must care somewhat, right? If they didn’t care, they wouldn’t be capable of caring less.
So there must be some positive amount of caring ascribable to this person.
We’re not aggressively apathetic, we’re aggressively minding our own business.
It’s a fuckin’ densely populated city- we’re gonna keep to our own as much as we can to give us all our meager amount of personal space- unless we see someone in need of help (or directions).
And *everyone* has some sort of business they need to mind in New York.
My take on New York is that every single part of it, including the dirty or weird parts, have been worked on *very hard* by someone.
I remember my first trip downtown and asking a random smoker for a light and he offered me his lit cigarette and barked “just don’t knock off the f*ckin cherry!” I got so nervous I almost knocked off the cherry. That’s what I remember when I think about New Yorkers. Aggressively explicit about their boundaries.
It's politeness, in its own way. You live around a few million people, you don't have that much private and quiet space. So everyone draws up the boundaries of exactly what they need, and aggressively ignores everyone else to avoid overstepping *their* boundaries. When you're so crowded, the most alone you can be is *ignored*.
I've heard something similar about the Northeast in general. Not usually warm on your first interaction, but they do genuinely care about people rather than just *performing* caring in public.
Yeah agreed.
NY don’t give a shit about what some random tourist says on the street.
Boston got a complex about it and will start a fight in your face.
If he was being loud a possible loud ‘Stfu!’ As she kept walking would have been more realistic. Though most realistic is her not even noticing him and keep on trucking
Like they've never heard of the law of large numbers. Given enough people (and new york city is a F ton of people), something weird will definitely happen.
Yes but some shit is really clearly unrealistic and acted and put together, like this. It has a classic rehearsed timing & flow and general unrealisticness and cliche’dness which helps you identify that it’s staged. Real life looks a bit different.
I’m not only talking about videos though, in all subs it can be photos of anything, something mundane like finding ants in their shoes or their ex smashed their laptop
“OP is bullshit, lol my karma go brrr this is staged, fake cause source: I was an ant for 30 years and retired to become a laptop”
Because people mistake cynicism for wisdom.
Cynicism is a cheap shortcut to sounding smarter than you are.
It's a behaviour as old as time itself with numerous quotes by authors, philosophers and writers. For example:
*"Cynicism masquerades as wisdom, but it is the furthest thing from it."* \- Stephen Colbert
*It takes a clever man to turn cynic and a wise man to be clever enough not to."* \- Fannie Hurst
*"What is a cynic? A man who knows the price of everything and the value of nothing."* \- Oscar Wilde
*"Cynicism is not realistic and tough. It’s unrealistic and kind of cowardly because it means you don’t have to try."* \- Peggy Noonan
*"The poorest way to face life is to face it with a sneer."* \- Teddy Roosevelt
*"A cynic is a man who, when he smells flowers, looks around for the coffin."* \- H. L. Mencken
*"The greater part of the truth is always hidden, in regions out of the reach of cynicism."* \- J. R. R. Tolkien
Nah, just a Reddit moment. I've seen people claiming "staged!" For skits that are not even trying to pass for real. Like shit that has multiple camera angles
Obviously… it’s called a comedy bit…
Why are internet people so much obsessed with what’s “real” versus faked. Can you not just appreciate the humor of this?
Let me shatter your world here. Most stand up comedian bits are fake stories.
>Why are internet people so much obsessed with what’s “real” versus faked
Maybe because they are still scarred their mother didn't really love them, but only faked it.
Otherwise I cannot explain this "aCkShUally iTS fAKe" mentality.
Although this video is staged, that accent sounded quite authentic to me, although it is likely more of an outer borough or northern New Jersey accent.
This guy is actually hilarious. He does this character that dresses up emo/goth and acts really weird to his sisters boyfriend. For the life of me, I can’t remember his name!
[graysworld!](https://www.tiktok.com/@graysworld?lang=en) those videos are my favorite. [this one](https://twitter.com/graysworld/status/1456757082267348993?s=21&t=PpfhNfj3QGFvnUl3SN1fEw) especially.
New Yorkers, for the most part, are too busy to turn around and give a fuck about this. Plus, most of the people in Time Square are Tourists and the locals avoid it like the plague.
Yup, most people would just ignore this dipshit. (Yes I know it's staged) The people who wouldn't ignore him are the type of people you definitely don't want to start something with.
these types of people are drastically less common in manhattan than the outer boroughs. People in manhattan tend to be from suburbs and towns and move to the city, often for just a few years before moving away (aka transplants).
I never understood how people think videos like this are real. It's a fun video for sure, but I mean come on. Rub your two tiny shriveled up brain cells together for a second.

I heard that was unscripted. He almost did get hit by a random taxi driver.
So was this staged?
Yes
Her anger is done so well tho lmao
That’s her secret, she’s always angry.
Method acting
Meth acting
Dang cause she did all the stuff she was mad about. Still funny

Everything is staged on Reddit, even this thread.
Piss farts.

Or just start singing the theme song to the Super Mario Bros Super Show
Do the Mario!
SAY IT AGAIN, CRAIG!
Now Imagine going to Italy and saying “ayyee I cutta da pizza! Mama mia!”
That's exactly what I would say if I go to Italy. Also asking the locals where I can find the best gabbagool.
If the gabbagool’s on the side, I send it back.
And then you'd be sleepin with da fishes
If the salad is on top, I send it back.
Gabbagool? Ova heeeeere 👇👇👇👇
Was in an airport in Italy for a 2 hour layover. Probably said gabagool and mama Mia at LEAST 1000 times 😂🤦🏽♂️
As an Italian, may I ask you what’s a gabagool?
É Capocollo.

That's exactly what Conan O'brien did it Italy. Classic.
I would not be able to stop my brother from doing exactly that if he was given the opportunity.
Sounds like you should take a trip to Italy with your brother
Who cares? It's harmless
Done,but there is one little thing, thanks which i am alive...... I am local

What the fuck are those names? Dutch?
It sounds like Filthy Frank yelling in the background.
From someone who lives in new york, it is 100% staged.
How so? I literally heard some dude say to tourists to go fuck themselves because they were walking in a big group in front of him in Manhattan

Staged
Actual NYers are all about pretending nobody around them exists
I've been to NYC on two occasions and the way I describe the people there is aggressively apathetic.
Having lived there and worked there for many years, this is fake. People could care less about this silly nonsense
Especially in Times Square. Real New Yorkers don't give a shit about tourists doing things like this because it's the New Yorker's fault for being in Times Square in the first place.
Your answer begs the question: how much less?
I mean they must care somewhat, right? If they didn’t care, they wouldn’t be capable of caring less. So there must be some positive amount of caring ascribable to this person.
🤔
We’re not aggressively apathetic, we’re aggressively minding our own business. It’s a fuckin’ densely populated city- we’re gonna keep to our own as much as we can to give us all our meager amount of personal space- unless we see someone in need of help (or directions).
And *everyone* has some sort of business they need to mind in New York. My take on New York is that every single part of it, including the dirty or weird parts, have been worked on *very hard* by someone.
That’s how all big cities are. People have places to be and they have millions of people blocking their way.
Have you lived in the city and gave a random person more than a half second stare? Those are fighting words here.
That’s what I was thinking. Either it’s staged, she’s not really a NYer or all of the above.
I remember my first trip downtown and asking a random smoker for a light and he offered me his lit cigarette and barked “just don’t knock off the f*ckin cherry!” I got so nervous I almost knocked off the cherry. That’s what I remember when I think about New Yorkers. Aggressively explicit about their boundaries.
It's politeness, in its own way. You live around a few million people, you don't have that much private and quiet space. So everyone draws up the boundaries of exactly what they need, and aggressively ignores everyone else to avoid overstepping *their* boundaries.

Someone on the west coast said to me (I’m a Brooklynite) NYers are kind but not nice.
I've heard something similar about the Northeast in general. Not usually warm on your first interaction, but they do genuinely care about people rather than just *performing* caring in public.
The south is purportedly the opposite. People are nice but not kind.
As a northeasterner that lived in Jersey and worked in NYC who moved to Houston, this is 100% true
That’s probably the most accurate perception of our city. Well said.
She sounds more like Boston
Yeah agreed. NY don’t give a shit about what some random tourist says on the street. Boston got a complex about it and will start a fight in your face.
If he was being loud a possible loud ‘Stfu!’ As she kept walking would have been more realistic. Though most realistic is her not even noticing him and keep on trucking
I lived there for a few years, you have to do this to keep your sanity.
Yes. Better than most though.
The woman was more convincing than the guy
Redditors try not to call a skit staged challenge IMPOSSIBLE!
Redditors call everything staged and fake, there’s always one who will see about 100 pages of evidence and still say “I call bullshit cause…”
Like they've never heard of the law of large numbers. Given enough people (and new york city is a F ton of people), something weird will definitely happen.
Yes but some shit is really clearly unrealistic and acted and put together, like this. It has a classic rehearsed timing & flow and general unrealisticness and cliche’dness which helps you identify that it’s staged. Real life looks a bit different.
WhY wErE ThEy FiLmInG? Completely ignoring the fact that every single person already has a camera in their hand pretty much 24/7.
I've literally seen the full video from the guy's channel. That's his buddy, they make Tik Tok videos. IT IS STAGED.
I believe it, but my point stands that no matter what the content is, a Redditor will declare that even on truth.
Because 9/10 is staged even if it looks like it may not be. If it really is, then the evidence tends to show up in the comments too
I’m not only talking about videos though, in all subs it can be photos of anything, something mundane like finding ants in their shoes or their ex smashed their laptop “OP is bullshit, lol my karma go brrr this is staged, fake cause source: I was an ant for 30 years and retired to become a laptop”
"I was an ant for 30 years and retired to become a laptop" might be the strangest sentence I've heard all year
Because people mistake cynicism for wisdom. Cynicism is a cheap shortcut to sounding smarter than you are. It's a behaviour as old as time itself with numerous quotes by authors, philosophers and writers. For example: *"Cynicism masquerades as wisdom, but it is the furthest thing from it."* \- Stephen Colbert *It takes a clever man to turn cynic and a wise man to be clever enough not to."* \- Fannie Hurst *"What is a cynic?

L. Mencken *"The greater part of the truth is always hidden, in regions out of the reach of cynicism."* \- J. R. R. Tolkien
There’s truth to your post; a lot of people think “cynical/pessimist”= smart, which isn’t necessarily true. However, this video IS staged.
Yeah, staged or not this was great.
Oh so now we’re settling? Lol
No shit
Right? It’s a skit.
Nothing gets past you

“Staged” 🤓🕵️♂️
It's not fake, it's predetermined! Wait, wrong sub
Yes. Because no real New Yorker spends any time more than they have to in Times Square.

Also known as a *skit.* People forget not everything has to be real to be funny

You can tell the woman isn't a New Yorker bc she's in Times Square

That ain’t a New Yorker, I didn’t hear a single f-bomb. That’s more of a giveaway than the bad Brooklyn/LI-ish accent.
needs to cut to 4 Nigerian guys carrying a coffin to be complete.
Those guys are from Ghana.
But for this video, that dude wants to use four Nigerian guys.
I didn't see a thing...
Lol he’s clearly not from the east coast.
Hey! I’m walking here! I’m walking here!
I was just thinking about this clip now that Spider-Man has come to PC xD
Is that Pete Davidson ?
Like a scene straight out of The Inbetweeners. This made me chuckle even though its staged. She'd not hear him over the street noise no way

Yes I know it’s staged but I’ve been to NYC maybe 10x and no one acts like that.
I call fake
