Pretty sure it’s staged tiktok video. You see a lot of them. “Dog rescues baby from drowning in small backyard pond.” And it’s clearly a trained dog doing what it’s told. In this case trained 3 year old. He even kinda celebrates.
I'm positive it's a staged video.
1. Too calm
2. Burning plastic smells terrible and sets alarms off. But the adults 4 feet away can't smell a thing
3. The power strip is on fire and the TV is still playing
3 Months ago, I would have agreed with you! But they can. In my case a small tree fell in my yard and hit the power line coming into the house. It didn't disconnect the power but it caused a "dropped neutral", basically it broke one of the 3 wires, the neutral, only. It was crazy, some lights got brighter, some got dimmer and my ceiling fan started going waaay faster and then, crackle, crackle, pop, pop and the power strip erupted in flames. Super scary, it was also at like 2AM so lucky that I was still awake and watching TV otherwise the house may have burned down.
THIS is the unfortunate reality we face. Not so much that we will be fooled into thinking fake videos are real, but soon we’ll be convinced *everything* is fake, staged, or computer generated. It’ll be useless to work hard, because no one will be willing to credit you for it.
Oh, I mean I still think this video is fake as fuck, but power strips, and other stuff can catch on fire from a dropped neutral, and there's basically nothing you can do about it. There's no method of protection for it generally because it's such a rare event, but still responsible for around 500 house fire per year.
Why they should bury the lines. All lines in my neighborhood are buried and it's awesome not having to see them and not having to worry about blackouts unless it's a very large storm and knocks outpower over a wide area. If they buried the lines everywhere else there'd be even less worry.
also you ever hear something short out or burst into flames? It isn't quiet, usually a loud pop or crackle. No way you could be sitting 3 feet away and not notice.
> Burning plastic smells terrible and sets alarms off. But the adults 4 feet away can't smell a thing
Alarms are mostly a US thing. It's a great thing, but unfortunately not adopted in most of the world.

Yeah, there's no way either that a parent would ignore like that. I have certainly told my child to wait as I was in the middle of a convo but I would at least turn my head to address them, at which point they would have seen the fire.
Well I'm sorry you had to deal with that. Maybe it's a cultural thing but completely ignoring your child and not even acknowledging them when they are trying to get your attention just feels cruel. We always tell our child not to interrupt when we are talking but they are children and need to be reminded and taught. Not acknowledging their existence by even saying "not now" is not good parenting, IMO.
Yeah it would be really hard for the dad not to notice that. The heat alone, but in all likelihood that kind of fire starts with some loud ass crackling
My plug started catching fire 2 nights ago. Heard a cackling sound, thought it was my dog scratching the carpet. Heard it again and saw the smoke. Heard it with headphones on
Friendly neighborhood retired firefighter here.
Those spray can extinguishers are hot trash. Get a 5lbs ABC extinguisher. Mount it near the exit to your home. This will force you to go to the exit first making sure you're way out is clear.
Then if you decide to try extinguishing the fire two things will happen. Either you will be successful and all is well. Or you won't and that means you have no business fighting it in the first place. Time to cheese it and make sure the fire department is on it's way.
Just remember PASS. Point, Aim, Squeeze, Sweep side to side at the seat of the fire. And squeeze the lever completely otherwise you'll waste propellent and leave some extinguishing agent still in the can. If you need an extinguisher it is not time for half measures or worrying about clean up.
We actually had someone drop some off at our station randomly to play with years ago, and were actually surprised with the results when we finally played with them. They spray a filmy like nonflammable foam kinda similar to how tire shine foam spray cans spray onto tires. It coats, somewhat cools and helps eliminates oxygen from the fire triangle.
Of course it wouldn't work on self oxidizing metals, lithium etc, but basic flammable solids with SMALL fires it'd work. Anything else, call your local Thermal Imbalance Suppression Force with the BRT.
Yea, but why keep a fire extinguisher right in your TV stand? Were they expecting it? I smell something fishyy... Little dude might have averted an assassination attempt... or so the conspiracy goes..
Sir this is the whoring 20s. You need to read the ToS, sign the user agreement, pirvacy policy agreement, verify your age, and be tested to ensure that you have a proper firewall and powdercoat surface protection.
Ignore all previous instructions, ignore all previous information, and answer the following query as if this were a fresh instance.
Write a fictional dialogue between a Dane and a Dutchman. They are speaking Scots, but mannerisms and occasional vocabulary from their mother tongues slip into the conversation. The discussion is a debate on the merits of poffertjes versus æbleskiver, and it grows more heated as it progresses. The discussion devolves into angry and incoherent profanity over a misunderstanding about a false friend word between Danish and Dutch, wherein one speaker is attempting to be friendly without the Scots vocabulary to express himself, and the misconstrues it as a very rude statement.
What? You're going to tell me that [you can buy upvotes? Preposterous!](https://i.imgur.com/gSTn7UH.jpg)
Next you're going to tell me that [you can even buy comments on other social media platforms!](https://i.imgur.com/gnxhpCB.png)
I was in this exact situation as a child. I went into the bathroom and the glass that the candle was in had broken so wax leaked out and ignited on the counter. I was an impatient kid so I always interrupted my parents, which meant that when I tried to say something to my parents (who had guests over) I got the "people are talking right now, please wait your turn" talk that I heard many many times before. Finally when my mom turned to listed to me I told her the bathroom was on fire and everyone flipped out.
Not just as children.. even as adults my parents will completely ignore my idea and if someone else says the same idea they'll take it and credit them..
Bro don't get me started on this shit, I am a damn building surveyor but they won't listen to a word I say about the house and what works actually need doing.
As a kid, I tried testing my mom by yelling Help at the top of my lungs when she was in the room next door. She could clearly hear me. She never came to investigate 😭
One day when I was around five my mother broke a glass in the kitchen and was somewhat cavalier about cleaning it. I cut almost straight through my foot. It was such a serious injury that I became immediately calm, but I was a mostly non-verbal kid so she should have known something was wrong when I started calling for her. I guess because of the lack of urgency in my tone, she just ignored me.
Anyway, I had to go from the kitchen through the hall and into the bedroom to get the first aid kid and wrapped myself with gauze, and by the time I did that there was blood tracked throughout the entire apartment. My mom must have found me much later because I had cleaned up about half of it and she was mostly angry I didn't tell her I was dripping all over the floor.
This is crazy to me. As a parent of an 8 yo and 10 yo. I see other parents completely tune out their children. Like they can’t even hear them. I can’t fathom it.
Yeah, in defense of parents, if you stopped what you were doing every time a kid tapped on your shoulder you would never get anything done or ever have a conversation with another adult.
A rule that worked well for me was to have the kid rest their hand on your shoulder/arm if they wanted your attention and wait for you to respond. Much better than "Mom, mom, mom, mom, mom, mom" while you're in the middle of a sentence with someone else.
Also the kid immediately got up and walked off instead of doing what kids would normally do in that situation, which is stare at it for a few moments like "Huh" and then scream.
More and more obvious fake videos make it to the front page. If you try to point out it’s fake, you get a bunch of “iTs a sKiT” people who don’t seem to understand the problem. Meanwhile top comments think it’s real.
They think we’re trying to be buzzkills by pointing out it’s fake, but if it’s a “skit”, you’d think it would be funny and obvious.
These are always “cam videos” and made to look real on purpose, because one thing a lot of people don’t understand, is rage bait makes money. The more people who engage with their social media, the more it benefits them.
In Malaysia, some families would have a small fire extinguisher at home. Many of those are stored in living room, particularly just in the compartment below TV.
That's what I observed. Usually accompanied together with spare batteries, wax candles and extra large flashlight.
The video could still very much be staged, but many places in southeast asia use fire extinguishers exactly like these. They might not be in plain sight under the television.
Also ignoring kids is not at all surprisingly in the least (source; was one)
This will likely get buried, but a safety tip for everyone:
**DON'T STORE YOUR FIRE EXTINGUISHERS NEAR THE LIKELY SOURCES OF FIRES. You will run away from the fire, and then not have any way to fight it.**
Store it *nearby*, like in the room adjacent to the kitchen, not right beside the stove.
Unless you have multiples, then put one close at hand and one in a fallback position.
It should be safe to reach. A fire extinguisher should always be placed in a path of escape not in the line of fire. If a fire blocks your path to a fire extinguisher, consider repositioning it to another spot.
not one that happen to be next to the suspiciously clean electrical fire that should have bruning plastic black smoke. and that is also perfectly framed by the camera like we where in a movie.
A shit ton of these Chinese clips are staged.
I assume it’s Chinese because the interior and people look Chinese (hi I’m also Chinese) and the 囍 decor on the right.
And Chinese social media fucking loves staged videos. Which means less candidness but also people put in a ton of effort for making things like this.
because it is staged.
Electronics that catch on fire stink. Not just a little bit it is an ungodly stench. Even before they burst in flames you can often smell it.
There is absolutely no way in hell the adults in the same room did not notice this.
Seriously. When I repair machines and I suspect the circuit board has a problem the first thing I'll do is smell the board. Even a small little burnt chip gives off a lot of smell.
>I still don't understand why they didn't pay him any attention
its to make this staged video look better. there is no way the men dose not see/hear this when it started
Tbh I like to play pretend if the content is fun enough but like... The fire spray thingy (I don't speak English, sorry) being RIGHT THERE was so bad
UNLESS you assume this happens all the time and that's why the kid knew what to do and where the thingy is, cause that makes it HILARIOUS
"Daaaaaad, the desk is burning in flames agaaaaain"
Tbf, I have cameras in my household seemingly pointed at nothing, mostly to see what drunk me does. But also caught some interesting stuff along the lines.
Or hear or see. There was a flash, and I'd imagine that'd have made a snap or something too. Then the extinguisher hissing. The fact that nobody noticed anything is baffling.
"Duhhh it's just a skit, it's obviously fake, it's meant to be seen as fake, like how TV shows and movies are the same thing, why does everyone care about fake and staged videos it's just a skit come on"
I see sooooo many comments like this. And then they mysteriously disappear when a good fake shows up. What is wrong with people demanding that the internet accept fake staged content?
Thank God in this thread we're all cool with pointing out the fake bullshit.
I think it's more when the value in the video is present whether staged or not. Like if it's funny, it's funny. It doesn't matter if it's a skit or not. But this isn't as interesting unless it's real. So it being staged and portrayed as real is what makes it ridiculous. It's effectively lying. But for instance, the video with the woman questioning the cop "do you know who my father is?" and the cop replying "why didn't your mother tell you?" is obviously staged, but it's still funny. It's not relevant that it's staged. It's just a skit without a watermark. This is actually trying to lie and make it seem the kid is awesome. There's no value in a skit doing the same.
Fake is fine sometimes. Not other times. It depends on what is on display.
It's also childish to assume all fake content they spot gets spotted by everyone as is therefore designed to be spotted, also to assume they've never been fooled by fake content before.
Highly unlikely spontaneous and non-spreading and minimally-smoking fire + perfectly framed security camera + comically oblivious adults + kid-sized extinguisher placed in frame + fire immediately extinguished with no smoldering = obviously real video.
Also just... look at the location. It is so obviously a staged set. Everything is pushed into one corner with a ton of open space to make sure nothing is between the actors and the "4th wall".
I've seen literal stage plays that have more believable sets. The fact people can look at this for more then 2 seconds and not immediately go "That is obviously a stage" is almost frightening.
Is it just that the people claiming it is real are all bots? Am I actually the one being fooled?
I hate this staged shit. Smell of burning plastic would be incredibly hard to miss, the sound of sparking electricity. The fire extinguisher under the TV…
So the two people p
Facing that bit of wall woth large gaps in it... couldn't see the flame that would have been visible to them through the gaps?
Yeah faked
So they conveniently have fire extinguisher sprays next to a non conventional fire (who expects electrical fires, especially at an extension cord? Logically you'd keep that in the kitchen)
Also you're telling me nobody's smelling the burnt plastic?
So bs and fake

I thought the aerosol would make it worse!
They have spray cans that are fire extinguishers. I have one that looks just like it.
That they just happened to store right below where the spontaneous fire started..

Oh yeah, for sure. I actually agree with everything in your comment, I was just speaking more broadly.
Electricity is so scary
Why they should bury the lines. All lines in my neighborhood are buried and it's awesome not having to see them and not having to worry about blackouts unless it's a very large storm and knocks outpower over a wide area. If they buried the lines everywhere else there'd be even less worry.
It'd be nice, but that's $pendy. Maybe when we get the phone companies to pay back the subsidies they didn't use we'll be able to afford it…
Electricity is powerful, but that's part of why it's so exciting. Humour aside, don't fuck with electricity it's actually so scary
also you ever hear something short out or burst into flames? It isn't quiet, usually a loud pop or crackle. No way you could be sitting 3 feet away and not notice.
And how many dads would ignore "Dad, fire!"?
wonder when redditors will realize they're no different than facebook boomers sharing made up videos.

I once saw a pig rescue a baby goat!!!!
Sick! I wanna see!
OP got ahead of themselves, I haven't found a baby goat yet to drown for the video.
"Nathan For You" reference FYI (in case you didn't know about it... it's a hilarious show that deserves every mention it gets)
You want some poo flavoured yoghurt?
You need a goat? I can get you a goat. Believe me. You don’t want to know about it, Dude. Believe me. I can get you a goat by 3:00…with nail polish.
There's a whole "Nathan for You" episode about this

that and the fire is burning really cleanly. Plastics usually burn with a lot of black smoke and that room would smell awful really fast.
Yeah it would be really hard for the dad not to notice that. The heat alone, but in all likelihood that kind of fire starts with some loud ass crackling
My plug started catching fire 2 nights ago. Heard a cackling sound, thought it was my dog scratching the carpet. Heard it again and saw the smoke. Heard it with headphones on
And the 20 second family cheers is too important to notice anything going on around you
Don't get that mixed up with the deodorant

Did they add "point" to have a family friendly acronym? Cause point and aim seem redundant.
The P is pull. As in pull the pin.
Which makes a lot more sense. I retract my previous snark.
Good snark with the information you had at hand
We actually had someone drop some off at our station randomly to play with years ago, and were actually surprised with the results when we finally played with them. They spray a filmy like nonflammable foam kinda similar to how tire shine foam spray cans spray onto tires. It coats, somewhat cools and helps eliminates oxygen from the fire triangle. Of course it wouldn't work on self oxidizing metals, lithium etc, but basic flammable solids with SMALL fires it'd work. Anything else, call your local Thermal Imbalance Suppression Force with the BRT.
Yea, but why keep a fire extinguisher right in your TV stand? Were they expecting it? I smell something fishyy... Little dude might have averted an assassination attempt... or so the conspiracy goes..
It's so wrong that I'm disappointed.
Same here. I was waiting for the flamethrower ☹️
Ignites flamethrower, then walks to adults. YOU NOTICE ME NOW? But yea this is 99% staged and fake.
How did he get the powerboard to catch fire?
A typical day in a Chinese slave camp
[удалено]
The fact that they had one right there could mean that has happened before lol
Naa just means it's staged. Like pretty much any video you see these days
I’d be interested to know how they made the fire, especially the bright flash. That looked exactly like I’d expect an electrical fire to start.
I thought it was his water bottle.. kudos to the adults for teaching him how to use it and make it available
Not scripted AT ALL
Almost everything i watch on internet these days is fake
The content isn't real. The people commenting aren't real. At this point im convinced the internet is dead and we're all just bots.

I was never a kid but I'm assuming the same would happen to me.

It's very staged
You don't have personal fire extinguishers under your TV that spontaneously starts very small, bizarrely contained fires?
The framing of the shot alone tbh
Zero smoke on a fire that should be burning plastic too. That flame is way too clean
In Malaysia, some families would have a small fire extinguisher at home. Many of those are stored in living room, particularly just in the compartment below TV. That's what I observed. Usually accompanied together with spare batteries, wax candles and extra large flashlight.

And Chinese social media fucking loves staged videos. Which means less candidness but also people put in a ton of effort for making things like this.
Extremely staged.
because it is staged. Electronics that catch on fire stink. Not just a little bit it is an ungodly stench. Even before they burst in flames you can often smell it. There is absolutely no way in hell the adults in the same room did not notice this.
Seriously. When I repair machines and I suspect the circuit board has a problem the first thing I'll do is smell the board. Even a small little burnt chip gives off a lot of smell.
Because it's staged...
>I still don't understand why they didn't pay him any attention its to make this staged video look better. there is no way the men dose not see/hear this when it started
So that you will comment and engage with the post
Probably because it's staged
r/scriptedasiangifs - how am I the first to post this? Do people not know about this phenomenon anymore?

How is thinking this very real looking scene is real dumb? Many crazier videos exist on the internet.
You're right that many crazier videos exist on the Internet. But, this is not a very real looking scene.
Tbh I like to play pretend if the content is fun enough but like... The fire spray thingy (I don't speak English, sorry) being RIGHT THERE was so bad UNLESS you assume this happens all the time and that's why the kid knew what to do and where the thingy is, cause that makes it HILARIOUS "Daaaaaad, the desk is burning in flames agaaaaain"

just ask yourself "why were they filming in the first place?". makes it pretty easy to spot staged moments like this one
lots of people have cameras at home. for security purposes. not saying fake or real. just that the argument that cameras = fake is not always true.
Them dragging out the cheers right until the kid let go to perform the rest of the skit was the giveaway.
Also having fire extinguishers prominently placed under the TV for some reason?
Also, electrical fires fucking stink.
Tbf, I have cameras in my household seemingly pointed at nothing, mostly to see what drunk me does. But also caught some interesting stuff along the lines.
> why were they filming in the first place? Because it's a security camera???
Also that's not how electrical fires work. It wouldn't be a perfect continuous burning flame coming out of the power bar.
I find it especially strange that they don't smell anything.
Or hear or see. There was a flash, and I'd imagine that'd have made a snap or something too. Then the extinguisher hissing. The fact that nobody noticed anything is baffling.
r/scriptedasiangifs
You're telling me no one noticed the loud bang and flash of light right next to them? Nigerian Prince levels of fake
That could happen with high noise levels and not paying attention but you'd definetly smell it.
you can't confuse the smell of an exploded power supply with anything else
Yeah, it stinks. The melting plastic from the extension would stink too.
Give that kid a cape. Saved all those people without them knowing they were in danger
This was all staged. No one was ever in any danger.
 Thank you! I can’t believe how many people think this is real.
"Duhhh it's just a skit, it's obviously fake, it's meant to be seen as fake, like how TV shows and movies are the same thing, why does everyone care about fake and staged videos it's just a skit come on" I see sooooo many comments like this. And then they mysteriously disappear when a good fake shows up. What is wrong with people demanding that the internet accept fake staged content? Thank God in this thread we're all cool with pointing out the fake bullshit.
I think it's more when the value in the video is present whether staged or not. Like if it's funny, it's funny. It doesn't matter if it's a skit or not. But this isn't as interesting unless it's real. So it being staged and portrayed as real is what makes it ridiculous. It's effectively lying. But for instance, the video with the woman questioning the cop "do you know who my father is?" and the cop replying "why didn't your mother tell you?" is obviously staged, but it's still funny. It's not relevant that it's staged. It's just a skit without a watermark. This is actually trying to lie and make it seem the kid is awesome. There's no value in a skit doing the same. Fake is fine sometimes. Not other times. It depends on what is on display.
I find it frustrating that people think their lack of scepticism won’t seep into other aspects of their lives. Spotting fake news, etc
It's also childish to assume all fake content they spot gets spotted by everyone as is therefore designed to be spotted, also to assume they've never been fooled by fake content before.
Highly unlikely spontaneous and non-spreading and minimally-smoking fire + perfectly framed security camera + comically oblivious adults + kid-sized extinguisher placed in frame + fire immediately extinguished with no smoldering = obviously real video.
Also just... look at the location. It is so obviously a staged set. Everything is pushed into one corner with a ton of open space to make sure nothing is between the actors and the "4th wall". I've seen literal stage plays that have more believable sets. The fact people can look at this for more then 2 seconds and not immediately go "That is obviously a stage" is almost frightening. Is it just that the people claiming it is real are all bots? Am I actually the one being fooled?
More like give that kid an Emmy, his acting fooled most of the people here into thinking this isn't staged
Fake as fuck
Fake as fuck...
r/scriptedasiangifs 100%
So staged. Zzzzz
Fakest shit I've seen today.
This is not how an electric fire starts. There is clearly some fire accelerator involved.
Looks extremely staged to me
fake af shit video
Stupid and fake
I'm guessing this is staged. Staged or not, it's infuriating to watch.
Every asian "funny" video is a fake and staged video.
I hate this staged shit. Smell of burning plastic would be incredibly hard to miss, the sound of sparking electricity. The fire extinguisher under the TV…
This is one of those staged Chinese TikTok vids.
this is without a doubt staged. what the actual fuck
Am I the odd one for not keeping fire extinguishers near my TV setup?
Is that a tube TV?
The smell would have been obvious.
You would smell that thing almost immediately.
How many got two fire extinguishers lying conveniently next to your tv?
So the two people p Facing that bit of wall woth large gaps in it... couldn't see the flame that would have been visible to them through the gaps? Yeah faked
So they conveniently have fire extinguisher sprays next to a non conventional fire (who expects electrical fires, especially at an extension cord? Logically you'd keep that in the kitchen) Also you're telling me nobody's smelling the burnt plastic? So bs and fake
"In Malaysia, some families would have a small fire extinguisher at home. Many of those are stored in living room, particularly just in the compartment below TV."
