Edit wrong thread

 

[mordecaii83]

First reaction: Seems fake.

Second reaction after looking more closely: Obviously fake.

 

[Ashhong]

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.

So basically you watched the entire video

 

[Gnome]

The way it explodes looks like the article should come with an obituary for the dude. Also, HD security camera, that's a lot of hard drive space.

HD that just loops every hour.

It's real.

It's real.

I imagine it's only for active security where someone watches then? Can't imagine it gets archived.

The security camera doesn't exist.

 

[Gnome]

The security camera doesn't exist.

CeeLo Green doesn't exist.

Spoiler

I'm talking about HD security cameras in general, not this specific instance.

 

[Plywood]

😂😂😂😂😂

 

[David H Wong]

OK they've now come out and said the hoax announcement was itself a hoax and Ceelo is in fact dead. His head exploded. Very sad to hear.

 

[Einchy]

So, what exactly was the point of faking this?

 

[Gnome]

Is this footage for the next elusive target?

I would be 100% on board with this.

[Volimar]

OH MY GOD

 

[Vigilant Walrus]

This doesn't look real. Look at the entire glitch effects going on. I've not seen a lot of security footage but this looks off.


The phone could be a qib (a a small explosion that usually have blood bags in them- used in film). If it is a qib it explains how he can hold it to his face without it being dangerous. He is also wearing glasses so the safety would be double up for his eyes.
lastly, the way his mannerisms is angled doesn't look real. He twirls around in the chair, looking at the camera, and when the phone explodes he extends his leg like he is purposefully trying to fall out of the chair (quick sidestep with both legs)- then he gathers them, falls off the chair, while holding the phone.
I believe someone having an exploding phone would have dropped it immediately and raised themselves out of the chair.


It could be real, but it doesn't feel that way. Particularly due to glitch effects. it looks manipulated like it was done movie security cam footage for a show like CSI. And why the fuck did the monitor in the studio also glitch out when he was on the floor?
Seriously, the jitter effects is nowhere that petruding even when watch police dash cam footage from 80s.

 

[TheJLC]

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

LOL my sides.

 

[Phamit]

Reminds me of this scene

 

[Marky Mark]

I don't have Facebook but I really want to see a phone explode in ceelos face so is there a mirror? Even if it is fake I still want to imaging it's really exploding in his stupid face.

 

[Symphonia]

To those saying it's fake, why?

I can tell from some of the pixels, and from seeing quite a few fakes in my time.

 

[Opus Angelorum]

Super fake.

The phone is still intact/on after the 'explosion'. With that sort of bang the device would have instantly died.

 

[jts]

Alternative title

"Singer" "CeeLo Green" "latest victim" of "exploding" "Mobile Phone"

 

[Stormhammer]

OP was blinded by the light

 

[DocSeuss]

Because it is fake.

“Actually what you saw today was a clip from a smaller video that we were shooting for a new project that I’m doing called Gnarly Davidson. It’s supposed to set up and introduce the new character identity. I’m still going to release the music, but first and foremost to everybody that love me and care about me, I just wanted to let you know that I’m OK…” Cee Lo said at the end of his live stream.

 

[Blastoise]

Whatever, CeeLo was in Goodie Mob. He gets my eternal respect.

HD security cameras definitely exist.

Rip in peace, guess this means no more Dungeon Family reunion

 

[cordy]

This dude really said it was a hoax for a new project of his named Gnarly Davidson like yo, you can't make this up lmao.

What a flipping moron. At least it resulted in one of the greatest/funniest gifs I've ever seen.

 

[the_batman]

HAH!

 

[exfatal]

Phones don't explode, they burn. Looked like a firecracker

And also jet fuel cant melt steel beams!

Spoiler

Lol i also think its fake after watching

 

[Miles Quaritch]

Fucking perfection.

 

[Dalek]

Why isn't the word Singer in quotes in the title?

 

[sammex]

You mean a squib.

And it's not, cos it's massively fake.

 

[RibMan]

Apparently it's for an upcoming project. It looks like it accomplished what he wanted it to do i.e. make people aware that he was working on something new. Somehow, the real loser in all of this is Samsung.

 

[Jzero]

It was obvious as fuck that it was fake. The FPS didn't even change and 1920p doesn't exist

Ummmmmm

In the security camera world it sure does

At least that's consistent with reality.

 

[Hesemonni]

I think that's crazy.

Loooooooool

 

[Keasar]

Hah, lovely.

Personally would have gone with Kung Fury Hitler.

 

[Fried Food]

It would be funny if that was his actually body language on the regular, when no one is around.

 

[Ivan 3414]

Because it is fake.

Oh shit i hope we're getting a new Gnarls Barkley album

That camera overlay. Come on.

What?

[daviyoung]

What?

it's not difficult to understand
