    Does anyone else find the 5 camera-angles detract from the realness of the video?

    I mean, yeah, no TV is real, but this pretending that it is a real situation in this style of video irritates me in a way I cannot describe.

    Am I being too picky? I don’t know.

      They’re quite good at what they do and have been doing for a real time. With consequences like getting banned from shops, but clearly they worked together with owners of the pub for this one (they sometimes cooperate with random local businesses for pranks).

      Misfit minds on YouTube if anyone’s interested

        Oh that makes sense. Thank you. I am happpy too that he accidentally mic’d himself up in the morning so we could hear him having his totally real reaction to the prank he didn’t know about.

        Yeah, I agree. I don’t feel like they were trying to pass it off as a real situation. The guy was a regular and they knew they could mess with him.

        I think he means the ones where like someone is videoing someone who’s videoing something else. Or some ridiculous situation where it’s like “why would you even bother recording if you didn’t know something crazy was gonna happen.”
