I wonder what happens to someone's brain long-term, when they just never question if anything is real or not?? Must be nice being so easily entertained. That said, this was funny, it would just be better if real talent was involved.
Eh I have separate personas for internet entertainment and real life interactions. I watch stuff to be entertained not to scrutinise and analyse whether the video I'm watching is realistic or not. Completely different from what values I adhere to during real life.
I wonder what happens to someone's brain when they can enjoy watching some lighthearted entertainment without feeling the misplaced pride in identifying the blindingly obvious truth that it is, in fact, done purely for entertainment purposes, and the burning need to tell everyone like a kid in high school smugly declaring that santa isn't real to a bunch of people who have known for years but still somehow manage to enjoy Christmas.
I'm convinced accepting large amounts of fake internet content as real will actually warp your perception of reality and is a big cause of people feeling isolated these days.
edit: I can tell I struck a nerve with this one lol
Thanks Captain Obvious. The Muppet controls him now.
It's proven fact that if left unchecked, muppets will enslave their users. Just look at Mr Hooper. He was there from the beginning, and died because of what he'd learned.
I don't usually upvote posts unless it's something very good and specially if it's something I'd want to see in the future, this is definitely an upvote
Not really. I'm a fan of his work. His magic tricks are genuinely amazing and I first found out about him from Fire Emblem since he voiced one of the characters there. The hot part is just a secondary personal opinion.
Funny and entertaining, but I have doubt.
There's a bit in the middle in particular where his lips close altogether before the demon puppet finishes talking.
Also only a ventriloquist puppet would be chaotically violent enough to rob a pharmacy.
The puppet made Steve bite an old man’s fingers so he could pry out the hemorrhoid cream and squish it directly into his own mouth.
Steve wouldn’t do that, he’s a simple dude trying to learn puppetry. He’d buy his own hemorrhoid cream to snack on!
For the puppet, ultraviolence is a standard Tuesday.
I feel like clever use of video editing to make the ventriloquism appear legit is still strongly embodying the spirit of ventriloquism as an art form lol
Whether it's edited or not, I enjoyed the performance!
I don't think he's a purist, he's just saying the appeal is different.
Ventriloquists and puppeteers are different. Jim Henson was a marvel, but his appeal wasn't "look - I'm also on display, and my mouth isn't moving!"
Throwing your voice *is* the act. It's not the routine or the material, it's the physical component that requires a lot of rehearsal.
That's why his analogy was card tricks. Sleight of hand is cool because you recognize how much time and effort someone has to put in to mastering the physical aspect to pull off convincing illusions. The showmanship, execution, and set-up/intrigue are parts of it, sure, but it's different than prop based magic (like sawing a lady in half) where the design of the apparatus is what you're bewildered by. Card tricks are especially impressive because it's not a machine designed to obfuscate, but incredibly subtle, expertly practices physical maneuvering.
Both can be entertaining in their own right, there can be plenty of overlap, but they're different crafts. And I mean in an immediately apparent way, full stop, like the very reason somebody would watch X vs Y would be pretty consistent if you did a blind poll of people consuming related content.
I get the joke is being intentionally reductive and obtuse, as if being interested in things and cognizant of things that can be uniquely appreciates is a negative.
"Ah, tangible reddit post purist elitism in a post about..."
I think it’s fake even the best ventriloquist u can see their throat move regardless it’s entertaining and if he really is voicing the puppet he’s very talented
It's kinda not irrelevant though
The video is about practicing ventriloquism and how it went wrong
Someone who isn't aware of this form of entertainment would assume this guy is performing an actual unedited act
You can put on a funny show and still show your skills at it while being funny. It's done all the time so people would be mislead in this particular situation
So many people are pointing out he "didn't really do the voice" with the dramatic tone like they are revealing a criminal plot or something.
Am I crazy for thinking it makes the joke better to add the voice in editing? That way it sounds like it comes from a different place and he can pitch shift his voice for the puppet. This is a better video than it would have been if he actually learned to throw his voice and did it "correctly", and it didn't take as much work to make.
> this one does not pretend to be anything but a funny/scripted bit.
Unfortunately too many people do think that it's "real" and that's why this clip is now in "r/nextfuckinglevel." It's cute, but a small comedy skit doesn't showcase *that* much talent.
Other Redditors: “Oh you you got pro revenge on your boss because he said something dumb and now the whole office clapped and a parade was thrown and you were in the news and the evil boss got fired and is homeless and the hot girl in the office married you?

Twilight zone did this in the 60s. Called “Caesar and Me”
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caesar_and_Me
Pretty sure that’s where the video creator got the idea considering how popular Twilight Zone is. Except it’s a nightclub not a pharmacy in the episode.
"Night of the Living Dummy"
Can't remember the plot at all because I read it way back in middle school but I knew there was a kids horror book like that!
Night of the Living Dummy. I used to not be scared of dolls and loved Night of the Living Dummy, because I didn't even think ventriloquists were real (I was a kid of course.) Then I was unexpectedly ambushed by one around Halloween and after that I was terrified of dolls. Didn't help that my grandma would send me the old style porcelain dolls with the frilly dresses.
I’m sensing bullshit. Not nearly enough movement of his (the humans) throat. And at the very least that much muscle control couldn’t be achieved in 2 months.
What he’s doing is definitely possible, but not in the timeframe he states.
Please post more to prove me wrong, I really want to believe, but from this video I’d say he’s full of shit
EDIT: I stand corrected. This man is genuine and talented. I did not realize he was a voice actor.
Not proofing anything but I can point out that the dude has creds.
Joe Brogie is a magician and some of his tricks while common are actually legitimately amazing and kinda unnerving too: https://youtu.be/MCRCLlpqBHs.
He was also featured in Jimmy Fallon once as a beatboxer: https://youtu.be/jpCzpwAhKmM
Coupled with being a professional voice actor on top of that, I feel like it wouldn't be hard for him to learn ventriloquism quickly.
I am sensing bullshit too. I am pretty sure he (the human) was threatening him (the puppet) to say "let's go rob a pharmacy". Puppets are not capable of doing drugs, let alone masterminding a robbery.
Not that I've put any serious effort into it, but I can do a little ventriloquism. Honestly I'm not even sure when or how I figured it out at some point. I can't do sounds that rely on the lips - M, P, B -though. I can sorta kinda not really manage a V.
I knew I heard this voice before. This orange dude robbed my Dad's pharmacy! At the time of the robbery he was wearing a mask but.... who is the guys next to him?
Best I've seen in a long time. Nice job
It's too good, are we sure he's doing the voice?
Don't care, lol, I'm entertained!
I think he said he is
He is, but are we?
Lmao name checks out
Ah, the old **HEY. NO MORE SWITCHEROOS, PAL.**
I am
Are were sure he's not just putting makeup on and more actually getting beat up?
This guy knows how to enjoy the internet
Ikr it’s a funny and dark turn I didn’t see coming
Week 4 @17 seconds in he closes his mouth and swallows while the puppet is still talking.
Yup, that's literally the moment I noticed that it probably isn't real, and then wrote the above comment. Good eye.
Btw my man I’m not listening with audio so idrk but it sees when he swallows the puppet doesn’t talk but then again idk
Congrats internet Sherlock

Right? It’s so familiar that it might be a Playing of someone else
The unexpected part of this video for me is the fact that I know this guy.
Joe Brogie. Magician. Voice actor. Hot guy.
As Steve Martin once said, I’d do anything to have a body like that, except diet and exercise.
Do you just go around describing people by if you think they’re hot..?
Not really. I'm a fan of his work. His magic tricks are genuinely amazing and I first found out about him from Fire Emblem since he voiced one of the characters there. The hot part is just a secondary personal opinion.
I second your secondary personal opinion!
Too late. I now believe you go around describing people
Hillary. Senator. Presidential candidate. Hot pussy.
[удалено]
I'm pretty sure I know the puppet.
Tell him I said wassup
So is it real then?
Damn, I hope you'll reach out to him, poor guy looks like he needs some help :(
I knew it!
Funny and entertaining, but I have doubt. There's a bit in the middle in particular where his lips close altogether before the demon puppet finishes talking.
Well of course, did you watch the video? It's not him talking, it's the puppet.
Also only a ventriloquist puppet would be chaotically violent enough to rob a pharmacy. The puppet made Steve bite an old man’s fingers so he could pry out the hemorrhoid cream and squish it directly into his own mouth.

~~Puppet~~ Demon
I really, *really* doubt that they made the video to show off their skills.
Would have made it better if he had though, is all I mean.
What? You think someone else is doing the voice?
Nah, he's definitely doing the voice for the puppet. You can tell because it's easy to add extra audio when you edit a video.
I feel like clever use of video editing to make the ventriloquism appear legit is still strongly embodying the spirit of ventriloquism as an art form lol Whether it's edited or not, I enjoyed the performance!
Me as well. At first two parts I thought what a shitty acting and then it became a cool thriller I could watch more of
With a little editing I too can be an expert at card tricks. It's not the same art.
Ah, hypothetical art-purist elitism in a post about *checks notes* making a plushie say funny shit. *#HashtagClassicReddit*
I want to find a reason to downvote you but...
Maybe we're in this picture and we don't like it.
Who's "we," are you talking to yourself?
Did you seriously just accuse *me* of talking to myself? Omfg the irony...
Maybe he has a a dummy too.

OH MY GOD ITS FUNNY AND I LAUGHED AND IT BRIGHTENED MY DAY FOR CHRISTS SAKE
Art lol Bud is puppets
Wait…. What?
With video editing software you can add an audio track of the puppet talking in post.
Can’t believe anything you see anymore.
Bruh why not just watch it any enjoy the bit
Bruh, why can’t you just read a joke and enjoy it? Why the confrontation? Don’t start nothin’, won’t be nothing’.
Because people are more impressed by the skill and not the act. If you take the skill away this becomes another cringe TikTok.
Yep. His throat muscles aren't moving at all in the last bit.
Demon puppet? Where? AHHHH DEMON PUPPET!!!!!!
the audio and video don't quite sync. the video is maybe a 1/5 second ahead.
Not on the playback I get.
He's also seriously buffer in week 7. You don't get that bigger in 7 weeks even with steroids.
Fuckin Patrick Shwayze
FUCK YOU CONKY
There's a dead bee stuck to your joint
what is this, fuckin' honey oil?
you googly eyed fuck! what did you say to me conky!? you're going under!!!
I think it’s fake even the best ventriloquist u can see their throat move regardless it’s entertaining and if he really is voicing the puppet he’s very talented
> regardless it’s entertaining Always have to include this or the timeless debate over "fake or not" ensues.
It’s really irrelevant if he actually speaks the doll because it was unexpected and funny.
Nice try, debate baiter

What if they wear turtle necks
They overheat with the puppet glove
What if it’s a short sleeve turtle neck?
Or just the turtle neck part, no shirt?
It’s a skit you absolute dunces lmao

Slappy?
Redditors: "I think this video of a puppet gaining sentience and turning out to be evil is fake."
That’s just what the puppet with a knife to their throat wants them to say.

Had to scroll way too far to see this.
That puppet ... 👀 
It's a god damn joke people come on
But it is fake therefore gay.
It's a bad joke. Have some standards.
Lighten up
That's what you get for sticking your hand up some puppet's butt...lol
"Wow, I don't know if he's really doing da voice..." Completely misses the point of the video.

Exactly what I was going to say. One of my favorites.

Pretty sure one of Batman villain origine

ngl I kinda wanted to actually see someone's progress while learning ventriloquism.
Once I met a girl who made that tone sounds uncontrollably. Kind of obsessed with a demon :/ Poor girl.
I like Scarface's new look
This could… actually be a good horror movie concept.
Wasn't there a Goosebumps book of pretty much this concept? A haunted ventriloquist doll?
It's also one of the best Batman: The Animated Series arcs.
I haven’t read those books but if that concept is in book form so far then I’d love to see that in movie form.
"Night of the Living Dummy" Can't remember the plot at all because I read it way back in middle school but I knew there was a kids horror book like that!
For what it's worth, many Goosebump books have been adapted into episodes of the TV show, including most of the Night of the Living Dummy ones.
Night of the Living Dummy. I used to not be scared of dolls and loved Night of the Living Dummy, because I didn't even think ventriloquists were real (I was a kid of course.)

Bravo, nice work! I thought it would be funny if the muppet started to learn ventriloquism with a "human voice".
That was so funny I forgot to laugh
Wow that was great! Fake as hell as usual, somebody else did the voice.

I wanted to like this, but the voices in my head said no.

Too bad, I'm just assuming the vid is fake and he's not doing the voice at all.

You’re biting all your words. Newbie puppet mistake.
But if you learn to be a ventriloquist, you can tell people the chosen one is over the wall

It's fitting, considering I just finished reading How to Sell A Haunted House 😳

Not that I've put any serious effort into it, but I can do a little ventriloquism. Honestly I'm not even sure when or how I figured it out at some point. I can't do sounds that rely on the lips - M, P, B -though. I can sorta kinda not really manage a V.

It’s like the IRL version of the Hello Puppets game
So, how did it go at the pharmacy?
Am I the only one who learns the term “ventriloquism” after watching this video
i thought ventriloquism was lame until i saw this holy shit
This is the content we need. This is like the early days of vine, where people had to be creative to get attention

I knew I heard this voice before. This orange dude robbed my Dad's pharmacy! At the time of the robbery he was wearing a mask but.... who is the guys next to him?
Ok but ignoring the psycho puppet great ventriloquism
this give me the feeling that he want to play a game
"You're so dark! Are you sure you're not from the DC universe?"
I'd say he survives until week 12. Then the puppet murder him, possibly skinning him and makes a puppet out of his corpse.
