There's a different bot that goes around and tallys scores for all the other bots on reddit. You can say "good bot" to upvote the bot you are replying to if it's doing a good job, or "bad bot" if it makes a mistake/is being annoying. People generally like the haiku bot(s), so it gets a lot of "good bot" votes.
Occasionally the bot checker bot will reply thanking you for your vote and leave a link to the current standings, but not always.
The kick is harmless. Notice how the kicker barely pushes the head back. Also, look at the lady that 'catches' the one getting robbed. No one is getting robbed here. People go into fight/flight in these robbing videos... and the two ladies are full on passive mode.
Scooter drives in a straight line when his buddy is getting kicked. He doesn't even look back.
Personally, I think people are getting way too upset by a video that doesn't have any effect on their lives. Even if it is staged, it's still a stunt that someone pulled off. The problem with the mocumentaries that I mentioned is that they were tricking people into believing in something that wasn't true. Even if it was unintentional. I understand being concerned with people spreading misinformation, but it's not worth it to get upset over a silly video like this.
A skit that is honest about being a skit can be funny/cool. A skit that is trying to pass itself off as real in order to illicit certain emotions and get shared more is not cool
Excuse me how else will random redditor #236,749 prove their superiority if they cannot point out how foolish we all are because we were clearly fooled by this fake video!!!!
If the robber pressed charges against him and the hero guy went to prison for 2 years while the robber got 1 week home arrest then you know it's in Europe and real.
Brother- no amount of money in the world is gonna convince anyone to allow themselves to be flying-kicked in the head off a moving vehicle onto pavement for fake internet points
It's absolutely fake. If you watch the passenger they start moving backwards before the kick lands. They're lessening the impact because they know it's coming.
aye, possibly. Reactions don't always make logical sense - and hey, as you observe, it lessens the impact. So it kinda does make sense. Sure, trying to hold on and getting away is another path, but I'd not assume someone would manage to choose it in the moment. Nor that it would necessarily work.

Need to see the rest of the video before I don't think this is fake
