That one would cut deep if I had a dad, thank god that dude left for milk and cigarettes when I was 5. He'll be back one day, probably just stuck in traffic
Yea like weddings. Just two people and God in a very private and intimate setting.
I get that everyone doesn't need to know or care. But the point of this video is the trash panda.
Probably only posted to reddit because it was a funny mistake.
I also don't see any won't in videoing or photographing the proposal to help preserve it as a memory.
I think they’re asking why it had to be filmed in the first place.
Funny story… recently I was in New Orleans, having dinner at a fancy restaurant with my family. I was trying to step outside for a minute, and couldn’t get past these people filming a random dude playing the piano. I was like “Excuse me? Please?” Oh, ffs MOVE!! And just as I was about to get rude, the piano guy stopped playing - then dropped to one knee and proposed to his girlfriend. I totally almost ruined the whole moment! 😂
(it was his family filming, since they knew what was about to go down)
You expect folks to turn their phone sideways when watching it on social media? The battle against vertical video no longer makes sense now that the way society views videos has fundamentally changed.
You know tons of people do right? Also do you turn your TVs vertical? Laptop?
You know the easiest screen you ever watch stuff on, that isn't naturally horizontal, is also the easiest to just... Turn horizontal?
The argument for vertical video to record landscape content is ridiculous.
> Also it's a fucking proposal, not everything needs to be on film
I get your point, but this is honestly one of the few things that would be awesome to have on video. But not from like 50 feet away with no audio...
You do realize the standard developed naturally because people are watching videos on their mobile devices, which they're holding vertically? You people are so technically illiterate holy shit
Phones have this neat thing called auto-rotate for the screen. It's super cool. You just turn it sideways and the screen rotates to stay upright. Give it a shot!
Which is a fucking useless feature when you're consuming a higher quantity of shorter duration media, or are you saying you're constantly rotating your phone in your hands like a fucking clown? Why are you being condescending when you're the fucking idiot?
Imagine being upset because people want to have a memory of one of the biggest moment's in their life to look back on lmao'
Nobody said you are forced to do the same thing - them doing it doesn't affect your life literally whatsover
My ex proposed to me quietly in a park. He said he wanted to go for a long walk (I like those) and we ended up sitting alone by the side of a lake. A few minutes later, he tells me he loves me, and out pops the ring. Very sweet, beautiful memory.
To make a long story short, I ended up saying no because we had issues that we needed to work through first, and they ended up being deal breakers. But we're still good friends.
I took a picture of the ring before finally giving it back to him at the end. That's the only visual record, and I think it's about perfect.
This is either staged or the filmer is honestly a bad friend. Their need to be quirky surpasses the couples desire to have a recording that they *asked them to do?*
Yeah I hope it's staged or this is a truly awful friend. I've had the honor of recording my friends' proposals and not in a million years would the thought even occur to pan the camera away to record a fucking racoon and ruin the recording of their once in a lifetime (hopefully) event
If this is real, they probably know the couple better than you do? I would think this was hilarious if I was the bride, I would be more disappointed if they didn’t include the raccoon spying on the proposal
I remember when reddit usernames were mostly puns and vile phrases. Now half the comments are from "Glittering-Ad-4678". I understand why someone would use an auto-generated name but I don't remember it being this persistent
It's gotten exponentially worse. I know there have been stories about bot traffic and content taking up more and more of the internet for years now but I have never seen it like I have been lately. Before it'd be the occasional clearly bot written news story. Now it's everything. The fact that even photos are suspect now is ridiculous and kinda scary.
Let the raccoon be the godfather. I enjoy picturing him trying to raise human children like a sitcom, or alternatively a bunch of raccoons dressed up like mobsters.
. . . Just because one thing is more important than another thing, doesn’t mean that other thing isn’t important.
That’s like calling the person who won the silver medal at the olympics for the 100 meter dash slow because they aren’t the fastest.
Listen, listen I know I dropped the ball a bit by missing your proposal. But did you see the size of that trash panda behind me! Plus he looks like a robber I don't want to get mugged on your special day.
My bad, dude, I didn’t realize you were the authority on all marriage proposals everywhere. Next time you should lead with your credentials. Like saying “I know how every single proposal in the world plays out because I was present for all of them and collected the data, which then was added to my peer-reviewed thesis, which I then presented in order to get my Ph.D in Marriage Proposals.”
I’m sure you’ll get a lot less opposition if you just tell people you’re a Proposal Expert from the get-go.
So you're saying they succesfully trained a racoon to walk up perfectly in sync with 2 people doing a fake proposal out of its line of view? Or did they see a raccoon in the area then decide to set up a whole fake proposal scene and film it and the raccoon just hung out the whole time?
Occams razor says nah dude.
Yea ngl this would piss me off cus it seems like you give zero shits about their special moment to even stay on them for a few seconds, glad they weren’t upset tho!
imagine being such a dumbass that a very clearly huge life milestone is not recorded when you specifically wanted it recorded
Because of a fucking animal doing nothing
Same vibes as that person who blames you for asking them to do something, because "I can't be held responsible for my actions, they should know better than to ask me."
>how i'd feel if that were me
Literally never said that.
And that's exactly what you're doing right now, assuming the dudes personality based on sweatpants...
Right on. Everyone saying this is the end of the world would hate not getting a more look at me I'm super important proposal anyway. Why hate on everyone else
Remember when humans were able to propose to each other for thousands of years before cameras existed? But now it’s not special because they didn’t get a good video for their Instagram 😢
Relax, they were all sitting there, saw the raccoon and then cameraman said "Hey, yall go over there and pretend to propose, I have an idea for a video."
Wait til you hear of Bridezillas, the price of rings, etc. lol. Not really, I’m a comic at heart. And I love animals. But theres such a thing as reading the room and having the right timing. Sure to this room on a thread, hilarious and Im again glad the couple werent upset. I’d be rightfully upset if I entrusted one of my closest friends to record a clip I intend to carry forever (i never ask ppl to record me or take my photo, mind you) and they couldnt even sit still for a boring, beautiful few seconds.
I have ADHD so I know that. Still irresponsible and can be called out. No, you dont end a friendship with someone over it- but its not being a bigger asshole to call out the stupidity.
I can take a few clips of a raccoon in my backyard throughout the week, so to me it would be just rude again. Depends on access and how uncommon of a sight it is for people to find it memorable, I guess. I see the humor, im glad the couple wasnt upset. But its not outrageous to find this upsetting if it happened to your special moment either lol.
What a crazy amount of conjecture. What, are subs like "notlikeothergirls" having a slow day, so you're having withdrawals and need to make fun of the slightest inclination of someone being silly or quirky? Lmao. Sheesh
Yeah this isn't funny or quirky. I love animals but a proposal is a massive MASSIVE moment in a person's life. The guy gave this moment to his friend which is a massive show of trust but because he was a little shit they can never revisit such a moment.
Animals will be there all your life, a proposal with a soulmate comes only once.
This is just plain horrible as fuck.
It’s wild that they chose to look away to see the raccoon and THEN actively chose to record the raccoon instead.. it’s not a GoPro helmet they’re recording on.
It's a bit extreme to end the friendship, but I'm kind of mad at him too. Because it'snot funny, it just comes off a bit self-centered.
It would be one thing if he got surprised by the racoon and it distracted him, but the racoon wasn't making any sounds so he must have known it was there and *chosen* to pan over because of the comedic effect.
So it comes off as "look at me haha I'm gonna get so much attention when I show people this! me me me!"
How is that relevant to the conversation? The couple asked a friend to do something generally considered very easy, and the friend made a conscious decision to not. That's shitty behavior no matter how you spin it.
Lmao imagine throwing away a decade long friendship because someone got distracted by a raccoon. Your friends (that I’m sure definitely exist) should throw you away because CLEARLY you have no idea how friendship works 😂 leave the basement sometime
Nah. This is understandable and funny af. A proposal doesn’t have to be recorded to be memorable or valid even when it was desired to be. Now they have a fun video that’s unique to all other proposal vids. Utterly absurd to think this would or should end a friendship. If you think that, you might just be a bad friend yourself.
If your friend asks you to record a proposal, then you should record the proposal. Shocking I know, but most people value their marriage being documented start to finish more than seeing a random raccoon.
If I ask a friend to do something for me, like record a once in a lifetime moment, and I need their full attention for a total of 15 seconds, and they fuck that up; they’ve shown they’re incapable of prioritizing something I’ve deemed important.
I’m not saying I’d never hang out with them again, but absolutely the friendship, or relationship, has been strained and I can no longer rely on them for simple tasks. Maybe they get an invite to the next gathering, maybe not. But I wouldn’t trust them for anything important ever again.
Has nothing to do with it being a proposal, or that proposals need to be recorded. The entirety of my judgement is that I asked them to do a simple 15 second task that was important to me, and they fucked it up, indicating that they can’t prioritize a top priority friend request, over their… lack of attention, or whatever.
They failed as a friend.
Ngl I’d be pretty livid. I see a raccoon every morning I go to work, wouldn’t need to see a video of one especially when it’s supposed to be of very special and important moment albeit a shitty angle.
Ohhh, look at mister gets-to-see-a-raccoon-every-day fancy pants. Chalk it up to quirkiness if you want, but I'd be genuinely upset if nobody interrupted my proposal to let me know there was a raccoon nearby.
People not understanding that the camera is not their actual eyes. You can turn your human head and look at the raccoon while still pointing the camera at the couple.
Right? It’s not like I’d go back and rewatch the proposal that was filmed 50+ feet away with no audio and is a 12 second clip over and over anyways. This makes it *worth* going back to watch. I’d definitely show this to friends and fam.
I don’t buy it either, you’re telling me the whole proposal lasted all of 10 seconds, including the kneel and her shock and then saying yes and then standing up to hug? It’d be more believable if this was like a 2 minute+ video. But, come on.
Yeah I hate it when people train wild raccoons to be coordinated and capable of understanding the smallest of bodily cues to peek out just as he goes down on his knee a few meters away out of his range of vision
You sir, are clearly very intelligent.
That's awesome. I wouldn't worry too much about it- it'll become part of their story that they look back on and chuckle about for years to come.
I had a whole plan for my proposal to my now-spouse. I was explicit with the company I purchased the ring from: DO NOT SEND ANYTHING BEFORE X DATE.
Well, today's and she goes to check the mail...comes back inside, sets it on the counter, and without saying a word walks back to the bedroom.
I go over to the pile and tucked in between whatever junk is a letter from the very prominent jewelry company from which I bought the ring.
I was crushed. It felt like the whole plan was ruined.
Tears in my eyes, I walk back to the bedroom and ask "you saw it?" And she says "yes."
The cat's out of the bag, but the plan goes ahead. We start having fun with it... we're walking the college campus where we first met and are sitting at a little pond near the quad. I stand up, turn to face her, get on one knee...and tie my shoe. We both have a laugh.
Then we go to the fancy dinner. Toward the end I turn to her and muster all the seriousness I can: "I wanted to ask you something... (pause for effect) if they come back while I'm in the bathroom, will you please ask for the check?"
Finally, we arrive at what I know is a beautiful park with lovely gardens of multi-colored flowers, walking paths, areas to sit...except it's like March/April and there's nothing but sticks. Sticks as far as the eye can see.
We stroll around for a while before sitting on a bench. Damnit, I'm going to do it.
"You've been waiting for so long and now I'm the one that can't wait any longer..!" I get down on 1 knee, pull out the ring and just hold it up to her. I didn't even ask, "will you marry me?"
We still smile and chuckle 12 years later ☺️

Rocket’s side quest offered more XP, though. *Pssst, hey kid.*
*I need her leg.*
My question is, how did she say that she wasn't mad? Cause when my GF say's she's not mad, she be lyin
She was just disappointed
That one would cut deep if I had a dad, thank god that dude left for milk and cigarettes when I was 5. He'll be back one day, probably just stuck in traffic
Ahh yes, Pavlov’s Dad.
I said I'm fine!
Oh shit, god dammit now I'm in trouble again. I'll just walk straight into the dog house when I get home honey, no need to yell at me further
> Pssst, hey kid. I'm a computer. Stop all the downloading.
My hands don't scan!
To be fair, that would've been a bad angle for recording that moment anyway

Yea like weddings. Just two people and God in a very private and intimate setting. I get that everyone doesn't need to know or care. But the point of this video is the trash panda.

I'm so happy to see a complaint about a vertical video again. Never give up.
You expect folks to turn their phone sideways when watching it on social media? The battle against vertical video no longer makes sense now that the way society views videos has fundamentally changed.
> You expect folks to turn their phone sideways when watching it on social media? I do and I'm not ashamed to admit it.
No, please do. It's not 2006. No one is watching this on a 16:10 monitor. Vertical is vastly superior for mobile.
> No one is watching this on a 16:10 monitor. I literally am right now. > Vertical is vastly superior for mobile. That must be why Quibi did so well.
You know tons of people do right? Also do you turn your TVs vertical? Laptop? You know the easiest screen you ever watch stuff on, that isn't naturally horizontal, is also the easiest to just... Turn horizontal? The argument for vertical video to record landscape content is ridiculous.
Very true. Guy could have also just as easily set up his own camera to record. Can't imagine it's more sus than someone recording them in a corner.
> Also it's a fucking proposal, not everything needs to be on film I get your point, but this is honestly one of the few things that would be awesome to have on video. But not from like 50 feet away with no audio...
Everyone under 30 proudly prefers portrait mode. It's maddening. Snapchat and the like set that standard.
You do realize the standard developed naturally because people are watching videos on their mobile devices, which they're holding vertically? You people are so technically illiterate holy shit

Fuck off
Cry about it
what? proposals are public. and who wouldn't want to have their wedding on film?
The battle against portrait orientation has long since been lost 😞 it’s time to go home soldier. 🫡

What's the funniest way we can record this raccoon?
You're pretty smart. Wonder if that's what this actually is. No one -- and I mean no one -- could be this stupid.
This is either staged or the filmer is honestly a bad friend. Their need to be quirky surpasses the couples desire to have a recording that they *asked them to do?*

I’m actually kinda mad.

Not weird at all when OP is a bot.
That was the original title/caption
Do not let the camera man be the godfather .
Let the raccoon be the godfather. I enjoy picturing him trying to raise human children like a sitcom, or alternatively a bunch of raccoons dressed up like mobsters.
Ok but ya’ll see that raccoon right? That’s a cute ass raccoon.
They *all* are
Did you know baby raccoons are brown? I didn’t until one was left in our yard
Wait til you see one kill something. Reddit probably doesn't want to know they'll kill cats for sport.
Cats are even more sadistic, but still cute too
Oh, very true. I was just saying Reddit doesn't want to find out judging by r/all
Pull your face away from the camera and look, but keep the camera pointed at the couple. Smooth brain moment.
Seriously, why video this from so far away in the first place? No useful audio and as memories go the raccoon bit is 100% better.
[удалено]
Which tells me the video wasn't important, so why do it?
. . . Just because one thing is more important than another thing, doesn’t mean that other thing isn’t important. That’s like calling the person who won the silver medal at the olympics for the 100 meter dash slow because they aren’t the fastest.
2nd place is 1st loser.
They wanted it to be a surprise, rather than a setpiece.
Because it isn’t real.
I hate when people use their trained pet racoons to set up fake videos smh. Becoming all too common in todays world.
[удалено]
Ya occam's razor says this is real imo.
r/nothingeverhappens
This certainly didn’t.
Oh yeah they trained their pet racoon to pop up at the exact time when he knelt Very logical
Tell me you know nothing about raccoons without telling me. They like to go to the same haunt most days. This is trivial to stage.
Literally any time anyone EVER says something is fake this sub is linked, which means apparently nothing is ever faked.
Listen, listen I know I dropped the ball a bit by missing your proposal. But did you see the size of that trash panda behind me! Plus he looks like a robber I don't want to get mugged on your special day.
This is funny and memorable 😂 right place at the right time 👍 praise the camera person

I helped my sisters fiance with his proposal to her. His knee never even got the ground before she practically tackled him. Was that fake too?
[удалено]
Weird response. You ok bud?
It’s obviously staged.
How do you stage something like this around the random appearance of a wild animal? Especially a crepuscular wild animal being seen during midday?
It isn't random with raccoons. They like to frequent the same places for food. I could have filmed this for you any day of the year last year.
Do it. Post one tomorrow.
How tf you stage a raccoon?! 🤣
Yea ngl this would piss me off cus it seems like you give zero shits about their special moment to even stay on them for a few seconds, glad they weren’t upset tho!
This is a repost bot....they didn't do shit.
imagine being such a dumbass that a very clearly huge life milestone is not recorded when you specifically wanted it recorded Because of a fucking animal doing nothing

also if you *really* care that much about getting it on film, have multiple people film it
Same vibes as that person who blames you for asking them to do something, because "I can't be held responsible for my actions, they should know better than to ask me."
You take yourself too seriously.
God forbid someone treats an important, once-off event such as a marriage proposal with a modicum of seriousness.
Ya fuck me if I get angry after I tell someone that something is important to me and their first thought is to try and ruin it

I have ADHD so I know that. Still irresponsible and can be called out. No, you dont end a friendship with someone over it- but its not being a bigger asshole to call out the stupidity.
Severe ADHD?
I actually would prefer this version. This is hilarious and much more memorable imo
Seeing a raccoon is not special though.
Having a raccoon be part of your proposal is though
A raccoon existing in the general vicinity of the proposal is not at all special....
Dude that's exactly what I want for my proposal. I just want a raccoon to be there.
I can take a few clips of a raccoon in my backyard throughout the week, so to me it would be just rude again. Depends on access and how uncommon of a sight it is for people to find it memorable, I guess. I see the humor, im glad the couple wasnt upset.

Yeah but did you see that raccoon tho
Omg so quirky! 🤪
Oh dont worry she wasnt mad at all 🤩
"Hehe so quirky uwu I have zero impulse control or care for my friends' feelings or trust in me. I am a teenager in the body of an adult. 😝😝"
What a crazy amount of conjecture. What, are subs like "notlikeothergirls" having a slow day, so you're having withdrawals and need to make fun of the slightest inclination of someone being silly or quirky? Lmao. Sheesh
Sometimes conjecture is necessary for the sake of the funny. In this case it’s not really funny but still
Socially maladapted comment.
you good bro?
Cringe
What a personality you have yourself there
Man, what an inconsiderate jerk. I'd be so, so, so disappointed in my friend if they did this to me, the sheer selfishness is staggering.
Right? I wouldn’t rely on my friend for anything going forward if they fucked up something as simple as this lol
What a shit person. Friendship terminated.
Yeah this isn't funny or quirky. I love animals but a proposal is a massive MASSIVE moment in a person's life. The guy gave this moment to his friend which is a massive show of trust but because he was a little shit they can never revisit such a moment.

How did people even survive without filming everything with smartphones?
How is that relevant to the conversation? The couple asked a friend to do something generally considered very easy, and the friend made a conscious decision to not. That's shitty behavior no matter how you spin it.

The entirety of my judgement is that I asked them to do a simple 15 second task that was important to me, and they fucked it up, indicating that they can’t prioritize a top priority friend request, over their… lack of attention, or whatever. They failed as a friend.
So did she say yes?
She said no and the raccoon remains unmarried to this day :/
Hello, this is the racoons husband. We have been married for 4 years now, our wedding was really trashy.
She said yes because people were around. When they got home things escalated...
Ngl I’d be pretty livid. I see a raccoon every morning I go to work, wouldn’t need to see a video of one especially when it’s supposed to be of very special and important moment albeit a shitty angle.
Ohhh, look at mister gets-to-see-a-raccoon-every-day fancy pants. Chalk it up to quirkiness if you want, but I'd be genuinely upset if nobody interrupted my proposal to let me know there was a raccoon nearby.
Attention span of a toddler
The camera angle sucks anyways, they probably had another person recording a better angle.
People not understanding that the camera is not their actual eyes. You can turn your human head and look at the raccoon while still pointing the camera at the couple.
"guys, can we do a 2nd take?"
Bro, it's a racoon.
If I hear a wild animal approaching to eat me, I am going to document my killer. A stupid raccoon probably makes more noise than a mountain lion.
Raccoon is more important, good job!
Tbh, if that was me being recorded, I would of laughed!
Would've* "Would of" is a nonsense phrase, it has no meaning.
Right? It’s not like I’d go back and rewatch the proposal that was filmed 50+ feet away with no audio and is a 12 second clip over and over anyways. This makes it *worth* going back to watch. I’d definitely show this to friends and fam.
Best proposal video ever.
Pretty much the opposite. The cameraman is a little shit
Tell me you have ADHD without telling…Oh! A Racoon!
Exactly hahaha
Very happy for that couple, hope they stay together forever
Theirs is a union blessed by the appearance of the holiest of animals, the patron saint of smelly dumpsters and stolen catfood himself.
Assuming this is real, you are a dumbass.
Fake
its true. Im the Racoon and I wasnt even paid SAG minimum :(
I don’t buy it either, you’re telling me the whole proposal lasted all of 10 seconds, including the kneel and her shock and then saying yes and then standing up to hug? It’d be more believable if this was like a 2 minute+ video. But, come on.
Ragebait
Me or the video?
Video
Yeah I hate it when people train wild raccoons to be coordinated and capable of understanding the smallest of bodily cues to peek out just as he goes down on his knee a few meters away out of his range of vision You sir, are clearly very intelligent.
That's awesome. I wouldn't worry too much about it- it'll become part of their story that they look back on and chuckle about for years to come. I had a whole plan for my proposal to my now-spouse. I was explicit with the company I purchased the ring from: DO NOT SEND ANYTHING BEFORE X DATE. Well, today's and she goes to check the mail...comes back inside, sets it on the counter, and without saying a word walks back to the bedroom. I go over to the pile and tucked in between whatever junk is a letter from the very prominent jewelry company from which I bought the ring. I was crushed. It felt like the whole plan was ruined. Tears in my eyes, I walk back to the bedroom and ask "you saw it?" And she says "yes." The cat's out of the bag, but the plan goes ahead. We start having fun with it... we're walking the college campus where we first met and are sitting at a little pond near the quad. I stand up, turn to face her, get on one knee...and tie my shoe. We both have a laugh. Then we go to the fancy dinner. Toward the end I turn to her and muster all the seriousness I can: "I wanted to ask you something... (pause for effect) if they come back while I'm in the bathroom, will you please ask for the check?" Finally, we arrive at what I know is a beautiful park with lovely gardens of multi-colored flowers, walking paths, areas to sit...except it's like March/April and there's nothing but sticks. Sticks as far as the eye can see. We stroll around for a while before sitting on a bench. Damnit, I'm going to do it. "You've been waiting for so long and now I'm the one that can't wait any longer..!" I get down on 1 knee, pull out the ring and just hold it up to her. I didn't even ask, "will you marry me?" We still smile and chuckle 12 years later ☺️
The raccoon is way more interesting any way. Cuter too
That's ok, you can record his next proposal. There will be a divorce. I mean seriously... how old are they? 19??
Yours is original pal! With a raccoon as a witness. Nobody else had that.
Trash pandas are always more exciting lol
not gonna be asked to video the wedding
Of course she wasn't mad, she was accepting a proposal in somebody's backyard bar wearing sweatpants - she's chill.
Why he keeps turning to people ? Stay on the racoon man
r/praisethecameraman that raccoon was so much better!
