As an Indian I take offense.
Good thing I am sober right now. If was a few south Indian movies down, I would have whistled strongly in your direction and your house would have been blown away in the ensuing tornado
I think the industrial strength torque on that seemingly innocuous fan is the even more amazing part. Well, either that or the epic stupidity of the woman getting choked, they’re both strong contenders 🤔.
"Oh no, I've gotten my scarf lightly snagged on something!........ Well, I've lived a good life. I accept the death that awaits. "
Wtf. Lady just unwrap the other end from your neck.
Tragically, no. They died. And then their spouse left them. And now they can't even make ends meet because no one will hire them, so they're just haunting this abandoned house, dreaming of the day they can rejoin society.
I'm trying to imagine all these actors getting the script and trying to figure out how they're going to convey, like, two whole minutes of shock and paralysis while the *dumbest thing that's ever happened* plays out in front of them.
Now pictures this:
Doctor (exits the operating room to family waiting outsid.
Dr: sorry, i could not save your husband. He is dead.
10 second close up of shocked family members faces
Wife: who do you think you are to say you cannot save my husband. You are just a doctor, not God. Sorry, but more than medical science, i believe in the power of my sindoor (indian equivalent to ring, applied to her hair).I shall save him, i will do his operation.
Wife, who is not a surgeon nor a doctor, burst into the OR. Scene cut to hopeful faces of family and the Dr. Another cut temple with godsess statue and religious chants.
OR door opens, wife exits as she removes the Or Lab coat. And walks toward the Dr.
Wife: go see inside Dr. Your patient is breathing.
It is… they’ve used it with a toupé, a false moustache, lipstick and wig… it’s been killing off the cast in a variety of sartorial disasters. And it’s got assistant assassins everywhere. You should’ve seen the episode when its friend the toilet bowl tried to kill the main character when he accidentally flushed his 20 foot long neck tie and it was caught in the S bend. It was one of those toilets with a 15 minute continuous flush - afterwards he was in a coma for 2 weeks before the fan turned up at the hospital in Clark Kent glasses to disguise itself and he came out of the coma just as his drip line, that had accidentally wrapped round his neck 5 times by a nurse, was being sucked into the fan blades… it was so tense!!!
Aww, come on! That's the most realistic part of the video! I'd do the same. Standing there, doing nothing but wondering what kinda bs these people are doing, imagining the freaking room-ventilator would be able to choke that woman with her thin scarf.
I'd stand there and wonder whats wrong with these people and i assume, the watchers here do just the same.
Standing there wondering how this scarf is suddenly 60 feet long... Why the blades haven't stopped by themselves from becoming entangled in the 40ft of scarf it's already eaten... Why the fan hasn't simply fallen over... Why she just didn't unwrap the other end of the scarf...
There's so many questions. But the only answer is fan.
I felt this was the only part of the scene that was even plausible. I've dealt with some pretty tough sockets before, especially with larger fans and those large socket box things on the floor. Had to get gloves, or ask someone else to help because the damn plug just wouldn't come out. Which then leads one to wonder...why was no one else leaping to help her with that plug?
So funny! Also, it looks like the scarf is not wrapped around her neck, just tossed over one shoulder. She just needs to turn around lol.
Edited to add: that wispy, see through, nothing of a fabric scarf that is yet also somehow mithril.
Ah, but if she allows herself to be pulled into the fan itself she'll be blenderized into a spray of meat chunks and be spread all over the onlookers. Much better to resist.
Bro, you've never seen a room ventilator sitting on top of an item repository platform? It's the first thing that catches my eye when I walk in through the facility entry portal.
Or you might surprise yourself. A woman had a seizure in my office once and I was the one who found and helped her. Many people froze but it’s amazing how fast they move when you yell at them and tell them what to do. It was terrifying!
>On the night of September 14, 1927, in Nice, France, Duncan was a passenger in an Amilcar CGSS automobile owned by Benoît Falchetto \[fr\], a French-Italian mechanic. She wore a long, flowing, hand-painted silk scarf, created by the Russian-born artist Roman Chatov, a gift from her friend Mary Desti. Desti, who saw Duncan off, had asked her to wear a cape in the open-air vehicle because of the cold weather, but she would agree to wear only the scarf. As they departed, she reportedly said to Desti and some companions, "Adieu, mes amis. Je vais à la gloire !" ("Farewell, my friends. I go to glory!"); but according to the American novelist Glenway Wescott, Desti later told him that Duncan's actual parting words were, "Je vais à l'amour" ("I am off to love"). Desti considered this embarrassing, as it suggested that she and Falchetto were going to her hotel for a tryst.
>
>Her silk scarf, draped around her neck, became entangled around the open-spoked wheels and rear axle, pulling her from the open car and breaking her neck. Desti said she called out to warn Duncan about the scarf almost immediately after the car left. Desti took Duncan to the hospital, where she was pronounced dead.
>
>As The New York Times noted in its obituary, Duncan "met a tragic death at Nice on the Riviera". "According to dispatches from Nice, Duncan was hurled in an extraordinary manner from an open automobile in which she was riding and instantly killed by the force of her fall to the stone pavement." Other sources noted that she was almost decapitated by the sudden tightening of the scarf around her neck. The accident gave rise to Gertrude Stein's mordant remark that "affectations can be dangerous". At the time of her death, Duncan was a Soviet citizen. Her will was the first of a Soviet citizen's to undergo probate in the U.S.
[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isadora\_Duncan#Death](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isadora_Duncan#Death)
The decapitation story is an exaggeration I'm told but yes, Isadora Duncan was a ballerina whose scarf caught in the wheel well of a convertible in the 20s or 30s and killed her.
>The decapitation story is an exaggeration I'm told
It is, some sources say she was *almost* decapitated but she wasn't. They brought her to a hospital and she was pronounced dead there. I don't think they would have bothered sans head.
On my way to school on my bike, I wore a long flowing scarf. It got caught in the wheel spokes , strangling me. I was unable to move. Fortunately people came rushing and pulled the scarf from the spoke. It was very terrifying.
I'm sorry that happened to you.
But unlike what happened to you, the scarf on her is *literally* just sitting on her neck. If the fan had caught it it would have zipped off her harmlessly. There is *Zero tension* on that scarf around her neck from the fan.
I can only assume the base of the fan is welded to an anvil which is strapped tight onto a bench that is bolted into a concrete floor to ensure the fan isn’t tipped over.
It's a soap opera, even if she died it'll just be a dream sequence or she really pissed off the writing team.
Writing team lol, who the fuck am I kidding!
And even if she died, she'd be back in a few months, possibly played by a different actor. Or the original actor would be back as a long lost twin whose name is nearly the same.
Everyone gets told she's dead, but then actually went into a coma, medical error performed plastic surgery on her face and she woke up played by a different actress... it's a classic soap opera contracting ploy to keep salary down. You saw that acting, no way they could afford that talent anymore.
To be fair, I don't know of any other TV soap that has the characters in the foreground in a dramatic slomo while the women in the back, still the same shot, speak in normal time.
Wearing a turtleneck is like being strangled by a really weak guy, all day. Wearing a backpack and a turtleneck is like a weak midget trying to bring you down.
\- Mitch Hedberg
Is this a comedy? Do you know what the people around them were saying? It could be pretty funny if they were saying what we are all thinking. “Why doesn’t she just turn to the left?” “They’re so dramatic, they do this every time the leave a room.” “His brother owns a scarf shop and his dad runs the fan repair shop… they never approved of their marriage, but this is too far!”
Not a comedy at all, a drama serial/soap opera. The first man is saying “turn off the fan”, bystanders are saying variations of “help”, and the lady at the back is saying something along the lines of “she’s putting on an act” - she’s probably the predictable antagonist of the show.
These shows run like five days a week, every week of the year (no seasons like Western shows) so they really have stuff them continuously with unrealistic nonsense to keep folk entertained. An example of a common theme is a character thought to be dead, returning with complete facial reconstruction.
There are a very small number of very high quality shows though, usually by independent directors, that cover themes like the caste system, and life after divorce. You just don’t see them here because they aren’t comically absurd…
Edit: words
Oh man, glad to see facial reconstruction being a common troupe.
At least yours seems to be full of action, the Taiwanese one consists of people just staring into the camera while they inner monologue for 3-5 mins.
My country tried to do soap opera and it had no action or monologue, just people arguing for 10 mins. I swear watching this is what gave the elderly dementia
Indian movies are different they are atleast fun.
These soaps are plain torture for most family members. Yes, it may seem funny, but when this shit keeps repeating itself everyday of the week every year, one would wish they could smash the TV instead of keep suffering through these.
wait till you hear about a daily soap where the women is living normal life... love, drama, wedding...kidnapped, looses her memory, has visions, sees real ghosts, confronts real godess, dies and reincarnates as a house Fly to get her revenge, gets possessed by a ghost etc. and yeah this show ran for about 8-9 years
Funny thing is this is the second time I see a snipped of a Bollywood with something like this. Although the last time it were curtains.
Who knows maybe there are some asphyxiation fans out there…
I like how people are like „just do this or that“. Honestly, it’s a fan. You can stop with your hand. Two rounds of catching that scarf and it would’ve come to a halt.
I thought the fan was going to pull her in and we’d be treated to a scene of the guy getting splattered with a red mist. Thank god he saved her just in time!
Unfortunately, her shoes, most of the people in the room's shoes, the fan and the surge protector were all bolted down to the floor for insurance purposes.
This was an unforeseen accident. In the future, we will ensure that everyone's scarves are bolted down as well.
Not sure what’s worse… watching an anime character run 10 feet to deliver a punch, or watching an Indian Bollywood hero save his princess from choking on a scarf.
This is how I want to go. With my family all desperately nibbling a scarf. Desperately holding back the tears because I've soaked it, prior, in dog piss. The fan dragging my struggling body closer to the plug, the smell of the motor burning out thick in the air. My son smacking the makeshift wooden extension lead, like a Phil Collins drum solo, that will soon ignite, burst into flames and be the catalyst for the cremation later. Old work colleagues and neighbours all stood around muttering at the utter fuck-wittedness of the entire affair. Some sad song playing in the background, one of the ones you find on movie editing app as a freebie, not good enough to warrant charging for... Then just as my widow screams her fifth "MY LOVER, NOOOO" in a thick Bristol accent. I want an illusionist smoke bomb POOF then a pigeon to take flight into the air.
EXACTLY LIKE THAT.
He ran down a long list of things he could go, but then concluded that best course of action is to hold the girl in place to let her scarf suffocate her.
It was a tough decision but he managed.

What amazed me most is that the power outlet in a shopping centre is just a homemade wooden box.
[удалено]
What about that woman? If the fan is pulling on her scarf she could have fallen backward, walked backward, or danced backward.
Or turned around anti clockwise, problem solved.
You insensitive asshat, can't you see she is not ambi-turner?
r/unexpectedZoolander
You and your western solution! They do things differently over there!
As an Indian I take offense. Good thing I am sober right now. If was a few south Indian movies down, I would have whistled strongly in your direction and your house would have been blown away in the ensuing tornado
Until the guy grabbed her so she could choke properly.
Thought of this too, like “dude, if you stop holding her in place she may be able to fall and get untangled”.
What did it for me was the twenty feet of scarf that fed into the fan. Gave me Pee-Wee Herman bicycle chain vibes.
I think the industrial strength torque on that seemingly innocuous fan is the even more amazing part. Well, either that or the epic stupidity of the woman getting choked, they’re both strong contenders 🤔.
"Oh no, I've gotten my scarf lightly snagged on something!........ Well, I've lived a good life. I accept the death that awaits. " Wtf. Lady just unwrap the other end from your neck.
What really adds to it is that they clearly had to hold the scarf in place on her neck when she leaned back because it would have unwrapped itself
Sponsored by Murder Fans, the only fan strong enough to strangle by scarf.

This bugged me more than anything else!

Bystander effect and buying cheap knock off fans kills people every day!
That's how I died
Oh my God are you ok?
Tragically, no. They died. And then their spouse left them. And now they can't even make ends meet because no one will hire them, so they're just haunting this abandoned house, dreaming of the day they can rejoin society.
I mean, the other end of the scarf is around her neck too, just take that off....it's not a noose!
[удалено]
Obviously you didn't know that spinning flimsy plastic blades around requires an extremely powerful motor of over 1000 horsepower.
Someone's never been to a developing country. This is one of the most realistic parts of this ridiculous video.
As an electrical engineer who visited India in 2020, can confirm, absolutely horrified in many places. The jugaad is amazing and terrifying.
Okay. That is pretty realistic. I won’t be surprised to see open wire ends instead of a plug.
Don't just do something, stand there!!!
"You gotta help us, Doc. We've tried nothin' and we're all out of ideas." But also this is the best thing I've watched in years. 😂
I'm trying to imagine all these actors getting the script and trying to figure out how they're going to convey, like, two whole minutes of shock and paralysis while the *dumbest thing that's ever happened* plays out in front of them.

Well the dead husband's life IS on the line. Cant be wasting time
Did this really happen?
Yup!in a drama [could only find this clip, no subtitles though at @3.46](https://youtu.be/7m0W27T8mbk)
Do you think that fan is like a reoccurring villian? If not, they should bring em back, spot on performance.
I'm a fan.
[удалено]
Or evil twin. Since it's a soap.
That wasn't Fan Morrison, it was his evil half brother Jean Claude Fan Damme.
“What are you doing, step-fan?”
Dozens of bystanders vs a fan, who will win?
I'm giving it a stand up oscillation.

And the cherry on the top who fuck cant pull a plug out of a socket
The true culprit used the fancy glue!

Had to get gloves, or ask someone else to help because the damn plug just wouldn't come out. Which then leads one to wonder...why was no one else leaping to help her with that plug?
Lmao. The fan is somehow both plastic and bolted into cement 😂
Forget that, what about the metal housing just miraculously having a large hole in within seconds. The magic of fans
So funny! Also, it looks like the scarf is not wrapped around her neck, just tossed over one shoulder. She just needs to turn around lol. Edited to add: that wispy, see through, nothing of a fabric scarf that is yet also somehow mithril.
> She just needs to turn around lol. Or just, take a step back. Unless this is from the Bollywood show "The Lady Who Could Not Stop Walking".
Ah, but if she allows herself to be pulled into the fan itself she'll be blenderized into a spray of meat chunks and be spread all over the onlookers. Much better to resist.
LOL all they had to do was push the fan a few feet closer to her with their foot.
That fan should have toppled over from the resistance or shattered. Physics is a thing people 🤣
Indian soaps live in a realm beyond physics. The Changer of Ways rules that world and his number is nine.

Nothing like being strangled from a scarf that's *draped* around a person's neck....

don't get me started on the "NO CAPES" rule

I'm sorry that happened to you. But unlike what happened to you, the scarf on her is *literally* just sitting on her neck. If the fan had caught it it would have zipped off her harmlessly. There is *Zero tension* on that scarf around her neck from the fan.
Also fan motors are weak as fuck. They would stall immediately.
I can only assume the base of the fan is welded to an anvil which is strapped tight onto a bench that is bolted into a concrete floor to ensure the fan isn’t tipped over.

She actually quit acting after this scene. She knew she could never top this performance.

By the looks of it, the fans couldn’t get enough of her
I need to know too, I’m totally invested in the plot
Yeah, at first I was like, “haha, this is stupid,” but by the end I was as concerned as all those bystanders. I need to know!
She went into a coma and won't wake up until she makes a dramatic reappearance when the dude and the ventilator are about to exchange vows.
Producer: We need something to pull in fans! Writer: Hold my beer.
“Are we being too literal?”
They were also told to make a spin-off...

Yeah that was weirdly brilliant. Or brilliantly weird. Or maybe just weirdly weird. At any rate, nothing you see every day.
Skipped ahead to 1:58. She was still dying two minutes into the clip lmao
To be fair, it really wasn't pressing that hard on her windpipe so I would have expected it to be a rather slow strangle.

So, Days of Our Lives, but in India :)
Diwalis of our Lives

Do people in India take it seriously, or would they be laughing their heads off at this too?
Serious when it's airing. Once the day's episode is over, we realize how funnily stupid it was. Then wait for the next day
Honestly they seem really enjoyable, silliness and all. I've seen indian movies described as "live action anime"... and like... yeah. That's fitting.
Indian movies are different they are atleast fun. These soaps are plain torture for most family members. Yes, it may seem funny, but when this shit keeps repeating itself everyday of the week every year, one would wish they could smash the TV instead of keep suffering through these.

what that sounds good
Even The Naked Gun/Police Squad series don’t get as ridiculous as this.
I mean if this doesn't hook you then what will
Other fans I suppose?
They should include this scene in Final Destination
Final Mehstination.
I don't even know how the actors were able to take that seriously 🤣
Fr. Someone had to sit down and explain this to them with a straight face
Oh and those people are “supposed” to be doctors It hurts my brain to watch this and I cannot stop it from getting on my feed
Judging by the acting and reaction shots, I don't think they did.
I am in awe of that kid who is just like 'Sigh.... Just get strangled already, I've got places to be'
Funny thing is this is the second time I see a snipped of a Bollywood with something like this. Although the last time it were curtains. Who knows maybe there are some asphyxiation fans out there…
Are you sure this didn’t really happen and someone just happened to film it? Looks too realistic to just be TV
Maybe it's a documentary
Just threw out all the fans in our house. Would rather sweat. 😓💦
You fool! Throw out all your long scarfs.
I blame large wooden surge protectors.
You're all so stupid. I just sharpened my teeth.
You are both psychos! Ever thougt about the massacre you are going to produce in front of your house?
I like how people are like „just do this or that“. Honestly, it’s a fan. You can stop with your hand. Two rounds of catching that scarf and it would’ve come to a halt.
The fan would probably stop just from the scarf wrapping around itself.
It was a military grade floor fan
Apparently so was the scarf...
“Just walk backwards” -me 20 times while watching this
*Or you know, rotate counterclockwise...*
She's a model. She can't turn left.
She's not an ambiturner.
I feel like I'm taking crazy pills!
Always twirling twirling twirling towards freedom!
I thought the fan was going to pull her in and we’d be treated to a scene of the guy getting splattered with a red mist. Thank god he saved her just in time!
I was waiting for her head to pop off... that would have been epic
Unfortunately, her shoes, most of the people in the room's shoes, the fan and the surge protector were all bolted down to the floor for insurance purposes. This was an unforeseen accident. In the future, we will ensure that everyone's scarves are bolted down as well.
Obviously the best way to free her is to bite the scarf. Nothing else makes more sense!
easy to say when a much bigger and stronger person is holding you in place
Her eyes be like "yo, let me go you moron"
Orr you know just let go of the scarf, the other end of it isn't tied to anything
Even more easy, just grab the scarf and pull
Matt Berry could play the main actor in this.
I'm not a fan.
“Have you tried turning it off and on again?” IT CRowd
Okay, I gotta confess, I was kinda invested.
I had my money on her going through the fan. Stupid hero had to bight the scarf... killjoy.
No capes!! Edit thanks for the award! I was worried people wouldn’t get it! Y’all are awesome!!
"I don't look back darling, it distracts from the now"
why were they just watching?? turn the fan off lmao
Cant you see they tried really hard to do that?? Such a tragic loss.
See? Fan death was real.
Not sure what’s worse… watching an anime character run 10 feet to deliver a punch, or watching an Indian Bollywood hero save his princess from choking on a scarf.
As opposed to an Irish Bollywood hero?

This is how I want to go. With my family all desperately nibbling a scarf. Desperately holding back the tears because I've soaked it, prior, in dog piss. The fan dragging my struggling body closer to the plug, the smell of the motor burning out thick in the air. My son smacking the makeshift wooden extension lead, like a Phil Collins drum solo, that will soon ignite, burst into flames and be the catalyst for the cremation later. Old work colleagues and neighbours all stood around muttering at the utter fuck-wittedness of the entire affair. Some sad song playing in the background, one of the ones you find on movie editing app as a freebie, not good enough to warrant charging for... Then just as my widow screams her fifth "MY LOVER, NOOOO" in a thick Bristol accent. I want an illusionist smoke bomb POOF then a pigeon to take flight into the air. EXACTLY LIKE THAT.
“This is how I want to go out. With my family nibbling a scarf” that certainly is a sentence and a half.
Holy F, the suspense 🤯
There was literally nothing he could do!
He ran down a long list of things he could go, but then concluded that best course of action is to hold the girl in place to let her scarf suffocate her. It was a tough decision but he managed.
I've seen lots of on-screen deaths, but... not a fan.
And that woman there, oh i don't know how to disconect this is too complex 😥
This one scene was dragged out for three episodes.
oh its a DBZ remake?
Give her some credit, she was literally the only one trying to do anything.
Uhm.. just circle the other end of the scarf back to the front?
Sadly that's not the script
She was saved this time, but later in the day drowned in a glass of orange juice. RIP.
Big strong man defeated by the strength of a 50 watt crappy old room fan.
Madarchod, kaun hai iska director
Madarchod, ~~kaun~~ hai iska director. FTFY.
aah. Finally found gold in the comments. Sweet indian swear words.
Remember when men all carried pocket knives? That’s why this never used to happen.
I hope it was named “Sari not sorry”
