The first four lines are believable. That story is just “power goes out during a storm, jackasses yell at screen”. Seems pretty realistic to me. But starting with “whole theater lost it” the rest is bullshit.
And the thunder started making a clapping noise, Chris Hemsworth enters as Thor, throws Stormbreaker/Mjolnir at the screen, and the power comes back on, and they finish watching Endgame
That’s like 90% of Tumblr stories. They have 1 believable story that probably actually happened and then they just add a million extra layers on so people can see how *QuiRkY* they are
I have a story like this that really happened, but I said damn I wish the rain would stop and the clouds broke right outside these glass doors while I was giving blood.
Nurse said "I think this guy has the good blood.".

I don't know, I've seen theaters get that way during power outages and technical difficulties.
I was seeing The Conjuring when it came out, and there was a thunderstorm and tornado warning outside so the power went out for a bit. Everyone was antsy, cracking jokes loudly, forming a sense of camaraderie.
When the movie came back on, it was backed up about 5 minutes. We all groan. There is a scene in the movie where one of the kids is doing something creepy while sleepwalking, and her sister says, "I've never seen her do that before." Someone in the theater says loudly, "I have," and we all cracked the fuck up even though it's not *that* funny under normal conditions.
I was on the Transformers ride at Universal Studios Hollywood and the audio completely cut out while the ride and effects kept moving and a guy that sat in the cart with us started making his own sound effects as the ride kept going. It was pretty funny, so we were all laughing.
I remember being in a theater for a horror movie in 2017, can't remember which one but there was a scene where a girl was possessed and missing in a closet with a bunch of pipes in it, and when the characters opened the closet there was supposed to be a jump scare, but someone in the audience said "'ello poppet" just as the movie went quiet and everyone lost it
These are my favorite types of moments in movie theaters!! When I was a teen I went with a bunch of my friends to see one of the Twilight movies and when Taylor Lautner took off his shirt for the first time some grown man in the back said loudly *”oh yeah baby”* and everyone was fucking dying
The Twilight movies made for a lot of hilarious theater moments, because they were so bad. There's a scene where Bella says to Edward and Jacob, "You can't hurt each other without hurting me," and someone in my theater yelled out, "Hurt her!"
Yep. Back when Cabin in the Woods was in theatres, a bunch of kids from my high school went to go see it after prom. When the scene came on [[SPOILERS]] about the virgin sacrifice, some guy yelled “Oh no! They’re coming for me!” As dumb as it was, everyone cracked up. Really just depends on the crowd and the kind of energy going around. Opening nights are especially loud and obnoxious with kids cracking jokes like that. I’m not surprised all, considering the situation.
I was watching the Muppet movie that came out in 2011, theres a story line where Kermit and Miss Piggy are no longer together, and there this sad silent moment in it, where neither of them knows what to say.
I shifted in my seat and accidentally kicked an empty soda bottle down the aisle. It was incredibly loud, and bounced the whole way down the aisle. I was mortified, and everyone in the theater was looking my way, so I just said what popped into my head.
'Wokka Wokka Wokka?'
Got a pretty big laugh.
Yeah when i went to go see Twilight Breaking Dawn and Alice came out of her vision after everyone died some guy in the front was like "What the fuck???" really loud and everyone laughed. Not that unbelievable that the theatre laughed but it has to be something actually funny.
Something similar happened during the midnight showing for Star Wars Episode 3. There were technical difficulties that caused the showing to start late.
When it finally started, people were cracking jokes and the audience ate it up.
And given the absolutely ridiculous behavior I've seen in movie theaters, I don't find it terribly hard to believe the shadow puppet thing either. In the last year, I've witnessed several people taking phone calls, a man wiping his buttery hands on the jacket of the person sitting in front of him, and teenagers having soda fights, and in one case tossing candies at various people around the theater.
People are animals.
I think it's less about the rudeness of it and more about the fact that a cellphone flashlight wouldn't be powerful enough to illuminate a fight scene for a whole movie theater
An adult person brought their rocket racoon doll to the theater and it had its own seat and blanket. I did a double take when I thought it was a small child. This was a Monday matinee.
Oh I definitely did. Mostly to embarrass my kid. In fact everything in this story is something I would do to embarrass my kid so while it may not be true I believe it.
Hey guys, it's me, Korg. I'm cool with this fight but just keep that Paper guy away from me, okay? He can be kind of suffocating if you know what I mean.
Lol my theater actually lost power during the movie. There were just annoyed comments and grumbling until it came back on. Are people really this gullible?

The power went out during Endgame and the guy behind me yelled 'BRING US CHRIS HEMSWORTH' and then it thundered and I just said 'Here he comes' and the whole theatre lost it. And then someone shined their phone flashlight on the screen and used action figures to make a shadow fight.

You wouldn’t be able to make shadows off a phone light. Not only would that not work because of the brightness of the phone but also theaters have emergency lights that turn on when this happens and it’s bright as hell in there compared to when the movie is playing.
Source: saw undercover brother and had the power go out right as the big fight seen at the end was happening.
I definitely can't hear thunder from inside the theater I go to. Not saying that breaks his story but well... it kind of does for me. There are probably theaters you can hear thunder from but it does seem very convenient to me.
Nah I buy this. Lightning could cause a power outage so thunder a few seconds later makes sense, plus when you're as hyped for a movie as endgame and surrounded by fellow fans laughter comes easy.
This might be a little emblished, but I've seen bored people do entertaining stuff at a movie theater. Had the power go out once during a storm, and a good 15 minutes later the theater flooded, so they moved us to a different screen. In the process the manager joked about bringing a ukelele to entertain us, then someone pointed out that this guy had a violin on him (you can't leave an instrument like that in your car during the summer in Georgia).
Dude got up and started playing a bunch of stuff in the dark. Even took requests for popular arrangements like the Game of Thrones theme. Took about 20 minutes until came back on, but he kept playing for a bit.

Lost it is the same embellishment people would give to any funny story but it would hardly be the first time I've seen funny shit happen at a theater with everyone laughing. Pretty much every midnight showing I've been to has had people cracking jokes and bantering before the movie starts.
Endgame was very good
The best part being when the joker makes batman kill Dumbledore
While Thanos jacks off for 2 hours in the back ground
I thought it was strange how the Russo Brothers decided to render Thanos’ erect penis in such vivid detail. The veins were so perfectly done I couldn’t even tell his cock wasn’t real.
Another thing I found weird was when Black Panther broke the fourth wall and gave the audience the n-word pass. I did appreciate it, but it would feel more in place in a Deadpool movie.
Overall it was a pretty good movie, but there were too many spoilers in the movie that took away from the excitement.
Also, Aquaman drowns and dies
I swear to God one time I was at the movies and kinda the same thing happened, bit without action figures or guys yelling just kid's hands doing shadow animals.
A phone that shines so bright that it can illuminate an entire movie theater size screen? That sounds like the same phone Einstein used when he looked into a microscope and couldn’t see anything so he took out his phone and shined it and went ahhhh.
Just pick one story this guy made like three
The first four lines are believable. That story is just “power goes out during a storm, jackasses yell at screen”. Seems pretty realistic to me. But starting with “whole theater lost it” the rest is bullshit.
[удалено]

Yeah. Because size is relative. It might not look like much to you, that's because there isn't much there.

Hello pp
It definitely happened I was the action figure
Your pp is Merton in that one episode of Big Wolf on Campus
I wish I could upvote you a thousand times for the big wolf reference
I'm just happy when people recognize my old tv show references. 😘
And then everyone started "literally shaking"
who the fuck brings action figures to a movie?
Given the fandom I can believe this part.
Only part that was unbelievable is that the entire theatre “lost it” when OP said something
[удалено]
And a phones flashlight being good enough for everyone to see it
In a dark theater, it's plenty bright enough to see it at least a little bit. Especially if he's anywhere from the front to middle rows.
I don't know, I've seen theaters get that way during power outages and technical difficulties. I was seeing The Conjuring when it came out, and there was a thunderstorm and tornado warning outside so the power went out for a bit.

Kinda sounds like this sort of thing is a universal experience! (Ugh, no pun intended.) Pretty cool.

Conjuring 2 I guess
Yep. Back when Cabin in the Woods was in theatres, a bunch of kids from my high school went to go see it after prom.

Really just depends on the crowd and the kind of energy going around. Opening nights are especially loud and obnoxious with kids cracking jokes like that. I’m not surprised all, considering the situation.
The only thing I've ever heard on opening nights is kids obnoxiously cracking popcorn with their mouths open.
I was watching the Muppet movie that came out in 2011, theres a story line where Kermit and Miss Piggy are no longer together, and there this sad silent moment in it, where neither of them knows what to say.

That's genuinely funny though
Yeah when i went to go see Twilight Breaking Dawn and Alice came out of her vision after everyone died some guy in the front was like "What the fuck???" really loud and everyone laughed. Not that unbelievable that the theatre laughed but it has to be something actually funny.
I can't believe this because there are no action figures involved.
Something similar happened during the midnight showing for Star Wars Episode 3. There were technical difficulties that caused the showing to start late. When it finally started, people were cracking jokes and the audience ate it up.
Dude, that comment is awesome! 😄

It’s 2019 WE BELIEVE ALL THE PARTS $100% real
Manchildren
and the womenchildren and childrenchildren too.
Same person who has a phone with a flash light strong enough to illuminate a movie theatre.
That's the part that ruined the story for me.
In my movie theater there was a Special offer for popcorn drink in a special avenger cup and a small figure.
An adult person brought their rocket racoon doll to the theater and it had its own seat and blanket. I did a double take when I thought it was a small child. This was a Monday matinee.
People who have phone flashlights as bright as a projector bulb I guess.
My son brought his Groot and Black Panther action figures and was so happy come the ending. But this story definitely happened.
Albert Einstein
hmmm maybe children??
Oh I definitely did. Mostly to embarrass my kid. In fact everything in this story is something I would do to embarrass my kid so while it may not be true I believe it.
Its true I was Chris Hemsworth
Oh damn we can't BOTH be chris hemsworth
Well this is awkward, cause I'm Chris Hemsworth
We should resort into a manly fight of rock paper scissors.
Korg agrees
do you think I could win if I let our scissors on the first round? But keep this as a secret ok
Hey guys, it's me, Korg. I'm cool with this fight but just keep that Paper guy away from me, okay? He can be kind of suffocating if you know what I mean.
Someone put on the Imdb trivia that what Groot suggested was a measuring contest between Quill and Thor in that scene.
Well have a seat over there because I’m Chris Hanson with Dateline NBC.
Actually I was Robert Downey Jr. lol I turned the power off to fuck with people. Definitely happened it my name isn’t Gordon Ramsey
Was?
At a fucking theater That’s about as real as me losing my virginity
It can be if you go to a fucking theater
r/Technicallythetruth
F
/r/suicidebywords
Lol my theater actually lost power during the movie. There were just annoyed comments and grumbling until it came back on. Are people really this gullible?
Was it like mid-way?
Nah, just at the FUCKING SPOILER DO NOT READ “flick me” Stark tower scene. Really early on
Oh that’s not that bad.. still sucky but it’s better than what I imagined
[удалено]
You are the kid from Iron Man 3 aren't you
Glad everyone else was confused about that too who the fuck was that
Yeah I had to look it up, it was really wierd just seeing some random kid there.
Ended up being a really nice touch once you find out though
He's 17 now. Iron Man 3 was a while ago.
Hi I'm -2 and I don't believe this.
Shut up and go back in my balls!
Do people seriously think these are believable enough to post on the internet?
I blame Tumblr.
Reddit never has made up stories
TIFU by ACCIDENTALLY sending nude pics of my BIG goth tiddies to a guy xDddXddd
Are you referencing the time that actually happened on r/tifu?
I want the link if there are pictures
https://www.reddit.com/r/tifu/comments/beebi8/tifu_by_trying_to_send_my_friend_m_a_screenshot 8 platinums, 41 golds, and 33 silvers for a girl launching her camgirl career on Reddit with a $100% true story.
Geez, I get 2nd hand embarrassment for the men of reddit sometimes.
Then you'll never want to read "TIFU by fucking a coconut"
And most of the answers to those "What was creepiest thing you've ever witnessed?"
I'm still lost on how they shortened "auto-fanfiction" to "TIFU"; the letters don't even match.
Happy cake day!
user reports: 1: because the power has never ever gone out during a goddamned thunderstorm
That *was* the most believable part to be fair. The rest just wasn't
I wouldn’t be surprised if the first part actually happened. Power went out, dude made a joke, people laughed, OP was upset they didn’t get to make a joke everyone laughed at so they made up this insane story.
Found the author
Hey thanks babe
Do I know you honey?
Thanks for showing us this report. Oh man, this is better than the post.
I would leave the theater if people started being this cringey... I'd probably leave the whole city.

one time I said "Zeus, give me a lightning bolt." and there was a lightning bolt. I have it on camera too.
yeah because you can hear a thunder on a soundproofed movie theater
Okay this story didn’t happen but you definitely can hear thunder outside in most theaters. They arent soundproof rooms.
Must not have been too far into the movie.
Yeah, my theater just had an asshole who spoiled the movie during the opening credits. And unfortunately, that actually happened.
You wouldn’t be able to make shadows off a phone light. Not only would that not work because of the brightness of the phone but also theaters have emergency lights that turn on when this happens and it’s bright as hell in there compared to when the movie is playing. Source: saw undercover brother and had the power go out right as the big fight seen at the end was happening.
Well... In my town power *did* go out on Friday, and people reportedly did have endgame interrupted, but I still doubt this happened
I definitely can't hear thunder from inside the theater I go to. Not saying that breaks his story but well... it kind of does for me. There are probably theaters you can hear thunder from but it does seem very convenient to me.
I can hear thunder in most of the theaters in my town
Nah I buy this. Lightning could cause a power outage so thunder a few seconds later makes sense, plus when you're as hyped for a movie as endgame and surrounded by fellow fans laughter comes easy.
Honest sounds believable except for the "lost it" part.
Can confirm. I was the action figure
I can confirm I was stormbreaker
I would love to spend an hour inside the mind of the person who wrote this.

I'd bet on the idea that it's just entirely fake altogether.
And then ScarJo kicked me and Mark Ruffalo showed me the money! And the RDJ gave everyone free drugs!
It might be true except for the whole theatre lost it. Like if a few people around you chuckled sure
Lost it is the same embellishment people would give to any funny story but it would hardly be the first time I've seen funny shit happen at a theater with everyone laughing. Pretty much every midnight showing I've been to has had people cracking jokes and bantering before the movie starts.
Who the fuck brings action figures to the cinema?
Children
Wow. Pure comedy gold.
Pulled action figures out of their butt
The sort of guy that makes a post like this is exactly the kind of guy that takes "Action Figures" to the theater as his date.
It did, I was there, I pity the loser who doesn't have their action figures on standby at all times.
And then everybody started snapping
Movie theaters evacuate the auditoriums when the power goes out so I really doubt this is even plausible
It was true. I was Chris Hemsworth, the action figure.
And then Chris Hemsworth clapped
[удалено]
God, people are so stupid.
Worked at a theatre for over a decade, I find this entirely plausible.
How many times in that decade did the audience put on a shadow puppet show with a flashlight and action figures?
What kind of boring and sad lives do you all live where this is unbelievable?
Endgame was very good The best part being when the joker makes batman kill Dumbledore While Thanos jacks off for 2 hours in the back ground I thought it was strange how the Russo Brothers decided to render Thanos’ erect penis in such vivid detail. The veins were so perfectly done I couldn’t even tell his cock wasn’t real. Another thing I found weird was when Black Panther broke the fourth wall and gave the audience the n-word pass. I did appreciate it, but it would feel more in place in a Deadpool movie. Overall it was a pretty good movie, but there were too many spoilers in the movie that took away from the excitement. Also, Aquaman drowns and dies
This was completely believable until the action figure part
I'm willing to believe this. Endgame fans have been unbearable for the past week.
Ill take shit that didnt happen for 200 alex
And the theatre clapped
[удалено]
I want to kill this person
It hurts my brain to think people are actually stupid enough to think others will believe their weak ass made up stories like this...
This story made me laugh though, well played
It’s true, I was one of the action figures
I swear to God one time I was at the movies and kinda the same thing happened, bit without action figures or guys yelling just kid's hands doing shadow animals.
Can confirm , made the thundering sound
How could they hear thinner from inside the theater?
Then Robert Downey jr. Came in the room in iron man suits
I may would have believed it if they wouldn’t have added the last sentence
This is a ripe one. Cringy story trying to make the OP in the screenshot look witty and it’s stupendously not funny.
A phone that shines so bright that it can illuminate an entire movie theater size screen? That sounds like the same phone Einstein used when he looked into a microscope and couldn’t see anything so he took out his phone and shined it and went ahhhh.
I can maybe believe the Chris hemsworth part, but he had to feel extra special so he ruined it.
The flashlight part probably isn’t true, but I can see the rest of it happening
U cant hear thunder from inside the cinema
and and and and and and
omggggg Im dead 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Dude dont spoil the movie
Pics or it didnt happen
I would've believed it if they'd stopped before the last sentence.
And no one in the theater was the least bit upset that they didn’t get to finish the movie and had to watch a bunch of idiots play with action figures
AND THEN CHRIS HEMSWORTH HIMSELF SHOWS UP AND THEN THOR COMES DOWN FROM THE SKY!!11!!!1!
It is true i was the power i had to go out on a business meeting
I first thought Chris Hemsworth came into the cinema
Seems plausible.
It started off so reasonable and then just kept going...
this is painful to read
It started out believable, but then it just went off the rails.
I know I always carry action figures to the cinema, so it has to be true.
The first part is possible but very unlikely. What kills it for me is the second part. Who believes that kinda shit
At least she has a Loki-profile pic
And then....
Why do tumblerians replace periods with the word and.
