[bort]

I can't believe I missed how the phone is still on and completely intact

 

[User Name Here]

I hope he's ok and that this wasn't real because I laughed my head off at the video.

 

[MrGerbils]

Why would a security camera recording at 1080p be in B&W?

Also those digital artifacts are fake as shit slapped on After Effects filters.

 

[zeemumu]

 

[Fantastical]

They tried way too hard

 

[cordy]

Since it's fake let's keep the jokes rolling

 

[Doctor Ironic]

How the hell do they get things like 23.976 FPS right and then put 1920P as the resolution?

 

[Mineshaft_Gap]

Maybe that was the phone's anti-rape feature turning itself on in the presence of an avowed rapist.

 

[jts]

How the hell do they get things like 23.976 FPS right and then put 1920P as the resolution?

I thought about it but even though it’s not one of the usual resolutions, 5mp sensors are sometimes 1920 (by 2560), so it’s not totally impossible that a security camera is capturing at that res. Could be just a fuckup though.

 

[SmackDaddy]

Who?

There's always one edgelord

And yeah, that smoke is a clear particle simulation in After effects. Notice how the smoke isn't disrupted by him moving his limbs about.

 

[neshcom]

It's so obviously fake.

• Phones do not blow up like that
• When a phone blows up, you wouldn't be knocked out like in a videogame, you'd have terrible burns
• There's no reason the other monitors would glitch out
• Paparazzi footage like this wouldn't include the sped-up front and would definitely include people discovering him and taking him away
• Obviously the fake glitching fade out and the mismatch of 1920p (also not how we notate footage), 24fps drop, AND in black and white--all of which is burnt into the source footage for some reason
• Not to mention ISO 200 footage shouldn't be so grainy

 

[entremet]

My question.

Why?

 

[MThanded]

Fake sure. To what end?

 

[4 is a cutie]

 

[Reverend Funk]

I'm not convinced that "CeeLo" is anythijg more than an imaginary cg person, as I uave never seen him in person

 

[Fantastical]

My question.

Why?

Jimmy Kimmel?

 

[John Rabbit]

yes, HD security cameras are very susceptible to tape distortion effects.

 

[Anung]

Usual Suspects playing on the TV gives it away (plus how obviously fake it all is)

 

[Shao Kahn Brewing a Stew]

That smoke looks cg.

It is. I'm calling this 100% fake.

Putting my money on it, it's this clip keyed in: https://videohive.net/item/small-gun-smoke-explosion-6-pack/7173820

Edit: So clearly this is marketing for this website.

http://mtonews.com/mto-world-exclus...red-cell-phone-explodes-face-exclusive-video/

"Exclusive" security video my ass. Lol.

 

[HStallion]

I'm sorry OP but this is totally incorrect misreading of that picture. That's just CeeLo Green spitting some HOT FIYAH!

 

[Despera]

As soon as the phone exploded I had to stop the video. All the fake flags were raised and I'm not in the mood to learn about what kind of viral marketing this stunt was made for.

 

[Psychological Intellect]

To those saying it's fake, why?

We have something called eyes. And aren't gullible.

We also said brexit and trump wouldn't happen.

 

[GravityInsanity]

OMG my sides...

 

[Strangelove77]

Was I not supposed to laugh?
This is some Tim & Eric shit.

 

[GreatestHits]

I hope Ceelo's ego is OK : (

 

[msdstc]

We also said brexit and trump wouldn't happen.

I'm no audio visual expert so please try and enlighten me.

This logic doesn't play at all here. Seriously I know others have said it, but cmon.

 

[xDUMPWEEDx]

"Look at me"

And it clearly worked. Here we are, talking about him, when otherwise we wouldn't have been.

Ceelo wins this round.

 

[CarpeDeezNutz]

And it clearly worked. Here we are, talking about him, when otherwise we wouldn't have been.

Ceelo wins this round.

We got an awesome gif out of it though, props to Broken Joystick I laugh everytime I see it.

 

[Zeus Molecules]

It does look fake but if not I hope he is ok

 

[Mr. Giggles]

This logic doesn't play at all here. Seriously I know others have said it, but cmon.

I see the dog piling is beginning.

I mentioned trump and brexit because, yes people are gullible - take fake news on Twitter and Facebook for example... Which is the context I was trying to convey

Not everyone can tell what artifacting looks like - CGI smoke was used? I honestly couldn't tell.

 

[Killer Queen]

That's definitely fake as fuck.

 

[Beerman462]

[old manatee]

CeeLo is so relevant right now.

 

[HStallion]

Fake news has gone to far!

 

[Fried Food]

The phone is smoking in the video before the explosion so it at least gives a warning. Can the user not smell/hear the smoke?

You work in IT don't you? lol

Okay. Thread is done. More funny gifs please.

Cinco's Explodophone!

Ever sick and tired of listening to someone on the phone but don't want to insult the person by hanging up? Well, Cinco has the product for you! Our Explodophone has a small red button that, when pushed, will explode your phone in the middle of a conversation! Now you don't have to worry about being on the phone forever with those long, dreary phone calls.

 

[btrboyev]

To those saying it's fake, why?

Because that looks like no security footage I've ever seen.

 

[Shpeshal Nick]

That might be a really really good publicity stunt. Cee Lo hasn't put anything out in a while.

Not naming the brand of the phone is suspicious.

 

[Shao Kahn Brewing a Stew]

Those saying fake have no idea. The internet has made you way too cynical. That shit was real as.

Or a really really goid publicity stunt. Cee Lo hasn't put anything out in a while.

1. LOL ya drink that koolaid.

2. It's been proven fake by CeeLo himself! http://pitchfork.com/news/70486-cee...s-phone-explosion-video/?mbid=social_facebook

"In-studio footage where the singer appeared to be injured was actually a clip introducing a new project he is doing called ‘Gnarly Davidson"

3. You played yourself. No wonder y'all voted for Trump listening to fake news.

 

[Shpeshal Nick]

1. LOL ya drink that koolaid.

2. It's been proven fake by CeeLo himself! http://pitchfork.com/news/70486-cee-...ocial_facebook

Yeah. I realised too late.

 

[jesu]

is he no a bit rapey?

 

[JP_]

Team CG finally won one

 

[Citizen Mane]

He looks like a thumb.

 

[Shao Kahn Brewing a Stew]

Team CG finally won one

Both #TeamCG and #TeamFake won! What a day.

 

[FStop7]

And people wonder how other people fall for fake news, smh.

 

[GringoSuave89]

Did Dangermouse play him a clip of new Gnarls Barkley beats? Cause otherwise, this fake video is of little importance to me.

 

[Diablos]

Clearly it's a crisis actor paid by the Obama administration as a means to force implementation of TPP to ensure stronger safety practices in mobile phone manufacturing.
