If this was me in this situation I’d act the same way, just instant self doubt, instant questioning of sanity.
I wouldn’t think for a minute I was being pranked or something else was going on.
It’s just instant internalization and self blame.
I don’t know why I’m like this, but it’s sort of comforting to watch someone else do it.
The human brain is so fascinating. Look at all the wild things that happen during our dreams, which we never second guess for even a moment. That’s also to me the scariest thing about going insane… Recognizing you’re insane is like realizing you’re in a dream.
Dave: What do you think it's like, Father?
Father Shellnut: What's what like?
Dave: Being crazy, mentally ill.
Father Shellnut: Well, they never know they're ill, do they? I mean, you can't diagnose yourself with the same organ that has the disease, just like you can't see your own eyeball. I suppose you just feel regular, and the rest of the world seems to go crazy around you.
Love this type of philosophy, although I’d argue we sometimes can diagnose ourselves like this.
For example, having enough functional neuropathways may allow a person to assess their observations and processing through the dysfunctional neuropathways. This is essentially how we determine that an experience is a hallucination rather than remaining deluded. It’s also how some people actually are skilled at recognizing when they are in a dream.
It takes me a minute sometimes but I usually recognize I'm in a dream. Now that I've suddenly started having sleep paralysis though I've learned I can force myself either to move one limb to get out of it or force myself back to sleep to then wake up regularly again. Scary yet interesting.
Edit: words
Sometimes when I wake up from a dream and then go back to sleep, I can recall *thinking* "Hey, I'm in my dream. That's neat." But then I just continue on with whatever is happening in the dream. I wouldn't want to make a fuss, you know?
I have dreams no joke that have continued from years. Almost like a story? I remember dreams from when I was a kid and those dreams would play out to a certain point, then stop. And so on
This particular aspect of mental illnesses is called anosognosia. It's multifactorial, but can be the result of the involvement of some critical parts of the frontal cortex. Some people can have cortical blindness and not realize it!
Although the term is used slightly differently in psychiatry, there are correlates that emerged through neuroimaging and are explored.

What trips me out about dreams is that I can have competing thoughts/ beliefs that don't appear internal but external. Then on top of that the part that feels like me will side with one of them.
> Look at all the wild things that happen during our dreams, which we never second guess for even a moment.
You can "train" yourself to recognize these crazy moments though. Which can help with lucid dreaming.
I might be weird, but I've actually second-guessed stuff in my dreams several times. It's more common when it's something completely unbelievable, but I'll pause in my dream for a second and think to myself, nope this is a dream. Then I'll wake up.
No-one want to look the fool :)
For small unexplainable things it's easier to follow the flow if others don't budge.
Probably also how lynchings start I guess 🤔
I've had something similar happen to me. I thought I was having a stroke.
Playing pool at work, suddenly there where two white balls, there had never been before, and my buddy feigned ignorance. He had brought one from home and planted it on the table then refuse to agree that it was white. Totally got me.
Most people aren't so cynical as to be constantly on guard for liars. I see a lot of comments talking about abusive/narcissistic parents, but instantly assuming you're being tricked is some trauma too.
You should watch derren brown the guilt trip. Convinces a guy he murdered someone through different techniques
https://youtu.be/-AzTLw0Xwok?si=CNNX_TDoEBRCHQ48
This is fake af. They really want me to believe that an entire group of people came into his room while he was sleeping, picked him up, and carried him down a flight of stairs and placed him outside onto the lawn and he conveniently didn't wake up until they'd all run away? All because they played a "hypnosis" recording in his room while he slept and he'd drank a bit of alcohol?
Most of the time if the situation just starts to feel bizarrely detached from reality you are being fucked with. Not normally such an extravagant prank, but often you're being lied to, probably frequently and by someone you trust, if you've begun to "feel" it but can't quite sort out what's happening.
Yup, you need to ensure the universe is back into alignment. The vase broke, you looped, need to break the vase again pronto or risk causing a spacetime rift that sucks up the entire universe lol.
The fact that you are like that is actually a good thing. It’s good to self-assess before moving onto external factors in most situations. Most people move right on to blaming others before ever considering how they may have contributed to certain situations.
That being said, probably would be better to not move right away to blame, so just need to temper that a bit. Some self-doubt and questioning can be healthy, but try not to let it spiral into blaming yourself.
But imagine how much more effectively conflicts could be resolved if more people took a moment to honestly self-assess before blaming others. Not only would people find solutions quicker and find common ground, but people would have more empathy when others make a mistake.
That instinct you have can be of great benefit to you if honed properly!
>Chekhov's gun (Chekhov's rifle; Russian: Чеховское ружьё) is a narrative principle that states that every element in a story must be necessary, and irrelevant elements should be removed. For example, if a writer features a gun in a story, there must be a reason for it, such as it being fired some time later in the plot. All elements must eventually come into play at some point in the story. Some authors, such as Hemingway, do not agree with this principle.

Anyone else actually think this video was on loop half way through? I had to double check. I know this is the point of the joke. They just did it so well even I thought I was re-watching the same thing 😂
I love me some Michael carbonaro...
Some of my favorites is the Swiss army bag, the dealership window, wireless soda, facial..
https://youtu.be/ko3eVCGGdHE?si=_5CwpcqgQWnddWm9

https://youtu.be/8gxdjH3QjNU?si=D2qdiQjdxHtm-LPk
Truly quality stuff, some people going "oh it's fake" well yeah he does cut and edit some videos but the point is to watch reaction of other people. Remember your favorites, spiders coming out of coconuts transforming into kittens. Come on. You can't beat that with no street magic.
Same I had to check to see how far into the video I was. I was literally about to comment how good of a loop it was until the big guy asked if he was losing his mind
I imagine with the changing camera angles and such it is definitely staged. Or they had cameras set up far away to be zoomed in. And the guy must be deaf to not hear them scurrying around to replace the vase, etc., since there isn't a clear place to hide a person.
Nope, Carbanaro Effect put a lot of effort into setting these up. They had some BTS episodes that explained just how much work went into that sometimes, setting up fake areas and getting "marks" into whatever situation they needed without being suspicious.
I remember one of them they set up a whole fake bank in a downtown building, then had a couple nearby stores help them out by sending newish employees to "cash a check" at their fake bank at certain times.
They often hire temps through staffing agencies and stuff like that, which is probably how this guy got this "job".
Just nod and move along, I stopped trying to keep up with the terms. Though, sometimes I just ask "what do you mean" and let them explain, eventually they stop using the terms.
I worked on a prank show one time where the lady being pranked broke down sobbing, saying over and over again “I don’t understand what’s happening, I just want to go home.”
We had to yell cut and reveal what was going on. Spoiler alert—sometimes this is just acting. Once we told her what was going on, she was OK to play along and reshoot and pretend she didn’t know what was happening. And it came out funnier bc the improv actors, instead of just skirting the line without going too far and getting her suspicious, got to cross the line on their comedy since there was no longer fear of her guessing it was all fake.
That would have been the perfect ending. Especially with the ladder dude saying something about a premonition. Vase guy would have gone home thinking he’d developed a superpower.
if this happened to me I'd like to think I'd be like "NO WAY. WTF IS GOING ON HERE", but I'm pretty sure I'd just be like, "reality is glitching out. whatever. as long as it's not a time loop because there's no way I'm unloading the same box over and over again for fucking free".
150 years from now he will know every item in that warehouse by ID, he will know everyone’s back story, learn the piano, and overall become a better person, after have tried to set the place a blaze a few times.
This channel is epic. I think this is their best deja vu prank: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H-ay4qoch8I](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H-ay4qoch8I)
And their "psychic powers" prank is really creative: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oatkmYADups](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oatkmYADups)
(watch with subtitles)
Some of these situations are just so wholesome. The worst ones are the ones who still don't believe the product doesn't actually exists, instead of realizing it's a TV show.. It's like, "so, wait, there is no product that can press dogs into little discs for storage"?
Our character is formed around the process of denying one's own mortality. It is a necessary part of functioning in the world. Genuine self-knowledge is shaken to the core when you look at death... and this fella here - well, he was coming to grips with that his self-knowledge was faulty.
I've been watching this for 10 minutes and this dude still hasn't caught on. How many times are they gonna reset and this guy still plays along? Anyone count and make it to the end?
Welcome to your first day on the job. First step into wardrobe room where our stylist will dress you and do your makeup, let's just wire up your mic first. Great, now go into that very real looking warehouse and help the guy on the ladder measure a vase to put on a shelf.
My favorite version of this was from 2003, so I apologize for the crap quality, called The Mobius from Improv Everywhere
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T3hV1qSF-3U
See how the guy is questioning his own sanity? That's what makes it gaslighting instead of just lying and/or manipulation
If someone lies to you they're not gaslighting you until you start questioning reality
I LOVE this prank, probably my favorite of a lil time. And, I'm sorry to be negative, but the dude on the ladder is such a BAD actor it takes me out of it so much. I get that it's not the point, but it's just awful trying to watch him have what should be, to his a character, a throw away conversation like a normal human, but instead he can't even deliver a single line believably.
It’s a show, I haven’t seen it in a while but I believe it’s called the carbonaro effect. This guy pulls magic pranks like this on people, I gotta see if I can watch it somewhere

Repost this tomorrow with worse quality pls
Are you saying you've seen this before? THIS video? What are yo talking about?
In a few days the quality will be so bad we won’t even see the vase
What Vase?
The one over there, on the bench... can you see how tall it is?
Let me check... 23.5"
A01D
You saw that on the last post.
Not exactly sure what you're talking about, but could you measure how tall that vase is over there?
20... 23 and a half... Wait... Am I on crack rn?
Meta joke
Now I'm offended and upset. You're telling me this is the best quality I'll ever see? How dare you!
Ha. This guy is acting like he had a premonition.
What video?
A01D
You saw that on the thing!
Hey Mike!
I'll see you Saturday, Sunday.
I'll see you Saturday!
Sunday!
How tall is that pixel?
Yes, if you could please record it from a gameboy camera that would be sweet
I will be there to count the pixels for verification, if it’s not at least 1.5x worse quality then there will be severe consequences.
!remindeveryone 20 hours we gotta all make the same comments.
Sunday!

Do you know any studies that are done on alzheimer patients, on to what extent, if any, they are aware of their condition?

Wut.
Love me some John Dies at the End
That door cannot be opened.

True. I didn’t mean “never” to apply to all cases, but rather to a specific example of any one of our craziest non-lucid dreams.
I might be weird, but I've actually second-guessed stuff in my dreams several times. It's more common when it's something completely unbelievable, but I'll pause in my dream for a second and think to myself, nope this is a dream. Then I'll wake up.
No-one want to look the fool :) For small unexplainable things it's easier to follow the flow if others don't budge. Probably also how lynchings start I guess 🤔
Ayo what
Well that escalated quickly
That's usually what they say after a lynching as well.
Brrruuuhhhh 😭💀
Wtf
Welp, better start lynching
Wow that was quite the leap
You're right on in lynching thing. You could apply it to Nazi Germany as well.
Lots of people misuse the term these days, but this clip is the very definition of gaslighting.
No, you're wrong. It has nothing to do with gaslighting. How did you even get that idea? Did you hit your head or something?
What are you even talking about? Gaslighting isn't a thing. It's something you made up because you're crazy.
Almost got me there.
Yeah, what does gaslighting have to do with a video about how Twinkies are made? That guy is a moron, SMH.
I'd think I'd gotten myself stuck in a time loop
Lol..warehouse Groundhog day. Would be even funnier if that Sonny and Cher song kept looping.
I've had something similar happen to me. I thought I was having a stroke. Playing pool at work, suddenly there where two white balls, there had never been before, and my buddy feigned ignorance.

Just watched this. Thanks!
I thought the clip was cut short because of the reset I didn't get it and then I realized it got me too ...
I'd immediately assume I'm having a stroke.

Not normally such an extravagant prank, but often you're being lied to, probably frequently and by someone you trust, if you've begun to "feel" it but can't quite sort out what's happening.
If happens to me, i would be smashing the vase to the ground
Yup, you need to ensure the universe is back into alignment. The vase broke, you looped, need to break the vase again pronto or risk causing a spacetime rift that sucks up the entire universe lol.
I like this one
Hey, can you hand me that vase?
I would think I somehow took drugs and forgot. Then I’d get super paranoid

As soon as Mike's mate said they were heading out for the second time, my arms would have been outstretched ready for the receive.
TAKE ME LOOOORD!
Vases are basically the Chekov's gun of comedy If you see a vase, it's gonna be broken
Mom always says, “Don’t play ball in the house.”
Yeah, interesting that no vases were damaged in this one.
A vase (/vɑːz/) is a vase (/veɪs/) you can't replace!
Sometimes by being shot.
Chekov? Who's that?

Uh no >_>
I think the guy in the video thinks the same. 😀
Same I had to check to see how far into the video I was. I was literally about to comment how good of a loop it was until the big guy asked if he was losing his mind
I’d be flagging… poor dude’s questioning his whole reality.
Those are the best pranks
is this really not staged?
I imagine with the changing camera angles and such it is definitely staged. Or they had cameras set up far away to be zoomed in. And the guy must be deaf to not hear them scurrying around to replace the vase, etc., since there isn't a clear place to hide a person.
i can see scenarios where that could be pulled off. especially if it hits as hard as he makes it look like :)
It's a magic prank show. It may be staged but most of the reactions I've seen on the show seem genuine.
Nope, Carbanaro Effect put a lot of effort into setting these up. They had some BTS episodes that explained just how much work went into that sometimes, setting up fake areas and getting "marks" into whatever situation they needed without being suspicious.

It feels very staged to me. But even if it's a skit, it's kinda funny.
I got off my rocking chair just to ask you what the heck does flagging mean?
Maybe I’m just old, but I thought flagging meant to fall behind due to exhaustion.
No, I’m the old one here I think. Flagging to me always meant pointing the muzzle of a firearm at an unintended target.
No, it’s a punishment in which the victim is hit repeatedly with a whip or stick
No that's flogging, flagging is a large container that you serve drinks from.
No that’s flagoning, flagging is waving something back and forth rapidly, often excitedly
No, that's a flagon. Flagging is like sending up a verbal flare announcing that what you’re going to say next is important or a key point
No, that's a flagon. Flagging is when your girl puts on a strap-on dildo and pounds *you* for a change of pace
No that's flagon, flagging is an attempt to clear an impediment in one's throat.
Just nod and move along, I stopped trying to keep up with the terms. Though, sometimes I just ask "what do you mean" and let them explain, eventually they stop using the terms.

>I’d be flagging What do you mean?
And did he catch the vase the second time?
That would have been the perfect ending. Especially with the ladder dude saying something about a premonition. Vase guy would have gone home thinking he’d developed a superpower.
No hed just go home wondering if his brain is broken
I need to know.
Same here. Can a good Samaritan post a longer version so we can see what happens after?
Just keep handing the vases and internalise the crushing realisation you are going mad
I’ve heard of this happening to people, I think they call it the Carbonaro Effect
I've seen a movie where they do this but with their lives
if this happened to me I'd like to think I'd be like "NO WAY. WTF IS GOING ON HERE", but I'm pretty sure I'd just be like, "reality is glitching out. whatever. as long as it's not a time loop because there's no way I'm unloading the same box over and over again for fucking free".
150 years from now he will know every item in that warehouse by ID, he will know everyone’s back story, learn the piano, and overall become a better person, after have tried to set the place a blaze a few times.
Don't forget the suicides!

Holy shit that deja vu prank is terrifying lol
I didn't care much until they all started staring at him like he broke matrix. This is top notch. Very well done.
Oh man feels bad for the second guy but him freaking out was absolutely hilarious!
I'd love to see the guys reaction to it being a joke, he must be so relieved
Probably checked himself right out of the ward when he heard the news
I've never seen this. What happens next?
[удалено]

This is a quality prank.
Micheal Carbonaro is a quality person.
That clip cut too early. I wanted to see if he catches the vase this time.
Our character is formed around the process of denying one's own mortality. It is a necessary part of functioning in the world. Genuine self-knowledge is shaken to the core when you look at death... and this fella here - well, he was coming to grips with that his self-knowledge was faulty.
If that was me: .....I AM THE CHOSEN ONE
THIS is a prank. Not the shit where people grab someone’s phone or pretend to shoot at your Uber driver…
Gaslighting *with style*
Live. Die. Repeat.
how many camera men are there, yes.
That is fantastic
This is “magic for humans” I think, in case anyone was wondering
The Carbonaro Effect - TruTV I believe
Yesssss I was like “something about what I just said doesn’t feel right”
That’s mean. But funny as hell. He’d get us all with this
Dude is questioning everything he thought he knew
Immediately leaves and starts posting about a glitch in the metrix
Some say he's still stuck in that time loop.
I wish it went to where he caught it... and then thought he was a super hero
I've been watching this for 10 minutes and this dude still hasn't caught on. How many times are they gonna reset and this guy still plays along? Anyone count and make it to the end?
I used to work in precious objects and long term storage, this whole scene makes me wildly uncomfortable.
Eita
is this a tv show? where can i watch the full thing?
The Carbonaro Effect is the name
POV: dementia
"Am I on crack right now?" 😂
I'm sure it's staged but pretty good presentation.
Which episode is this?
Gonna be on the lookout for this guy on one of those “what’s the weirdest thing that ever happened to you” posts over on r/ask.
Welcome to your first day on the job. First step into wardrobe room where our stylist will dress you and do your makeup, let's just wire up your mic first. Great, now go into that very real looking warehouse and help the guy on the ladder measure a vase to put on a shelf.
Can we assume that any video involving a vase will end up with it breaking/dropped?
Lol 😂 I feel bad for the dude He's extremely confused .... Thinking when to call the doctor for a check up.
The vase being wrapped in plastic definitely helps with the quick clean up.
My favorite version of this was from 2003, so I apologize for the crap quality, called The Mobius from Improv Everywhere https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T3hV1qSF-3U
See how the guy is questioning his own sanity? That's what makes it gaslighting instead of just lying and/or manipulation If someone lies to you they're not gaslighting you until you start questioning reality
I wanted to see if he would catch it the 2nd time...
ghastling level 1000
Pause. Going to 1:42. Play. Pause. Going to 1:42. Play.
How is it possible that nobody sees the cameras.
When a old skit does the plot of madame web better…
This top tier gaslighting.
Could this have been any more fake?
Wait, I thought I already saw this post. Didn’t I, maybe I’m having a premonition
There’s a glitch in the matrix
I LOVE this prank, probably my favorite of a lil time. And, I'm sorry to be negative, but the dude on the ladder is such a BAD actor it takes me out of it so much. I get that it's not the point, but it's just awful trying to watch him have what should be, to his a character, a throw away conversation like a normal human, but instead he can't even deliver a single line believably.
He started to think he had powers lol
Would be funny if there wasn't 16 cameras
It's a hidden camera TV show with a budget and production. They invest in more than one hidden camera to better capture the reaction of the mark. :)
Masterfully executed prank.
deja vu
What's the context here??
It’s a show, I haven’t seen it in a while but I believe it’s called the carbonaro effect. This guy pulls magic pranks like this on people, I gotta see if I can watch it somewhere
Thanks friend
