I can only imagine a person going to the church next door for a sunday prayer and then hear slight muffing of 40 adult films being played. If thats not Baltimore for yeah then i dont know what is
I was a cop in the LA area from the mid-90s until 2004. I worked the night shift for most of those years, and some of the calls/situations we got from these places I still can't believe or wash off.
Officer Dan Schneider! I think I remember you! You came to my school for DARE and told my class that drug users can't afford shoes. So to teach us a lesson you had my class take off all our shoes and socks and made us walk around barefoot. Fun times!
“I feel like I’m in hell” LMAOOO i couldn’t have thought of a more succinct description for what I was seeing until you said that. The comedic timing took me out 😂
There's something morbidly fascinating to me about sleazy old porn shops/ arcades. There's one near where I live that is the shadiest looking place imaginable, and it's open until like 2 am in a part of town I would rather not be after dark. It's been there for like 40 years now and I really wonder what goes on in that building in an age of unlimited free internet porn.
Dan, hopefully you burned your cloths and shoes. Bathed with hospital strength disinfecting soap. 😂 Thanks for taking one for the team, only you would have filmed this for us
Because: A) The average customer doesn’t care. B) The city doesn’t care C) Department of Health and city inspectors are so badly underfunded with huge caseloads that places that don’t generate complaints are generally left alone, especially when it’s on the seedy side.
This is the sleaze I remember from adult film's heyday. As an aside, those light up signs, especially the one with girls names, are worth a small fortune to collectors of this sticky genre.
my city has something similar and it gets crazy busy on Saturday nights. One side is generally more gay/bi men but on Sat night they open up another half of the building that is for straight couples. Sex sells so its not too wild that there are still dozens of places like this left. I've actually thought about how much money the owner of the one in my city must make at $25 cover charge on top of whatever they sell in the adult store that's attached and yeah...I'm in the wrong business. All you need to do is buy an empty building, partition it off, toss up some televisions and turn on some adult films...charge $10 and steal the competitors customers and rake in the $$$. I'd be paying an outside company to clean though. 🤣
I can’t believe places like this are still open. I thought all these places shut down in the 2000’s at latest. Who is the cliente that chooses to keep coming back? lol.
As a a gay man and former drug addict let me tell ya, the type of men that visit those booths need Jesus the most. Crazy he even said he felt like he was “in hell”
@@wonderwhaz I remember when I used to think I had it all figured out. “Organized religion is all about control bro” Jesus Christ is the light and the way.
Dan, this is showing up on UA-cam Kids when my son search for arcade video!! He say, "daddy what kind of arcade is this?" (Just kidding Dan, love the vid!)
My husband and i have date night once a week. We always check out Dan's video offerings as something to watch while the kids are with their grandparents. Thanks for this one, Dan. A real gem....it was well worth sacrificing your dignity to go in this place. We were laughing our asses off the whole video while being disgusted by the "scenery." We felt like we needed a bath is clorox after watching....every "oooo, noooo" brought laughter
You have my vote for this being the type of content that is completely appropriate for your channel and audience (I'm hoping to counter the shrinking violets who may also post). A friend from my past owned a notorious bookstore and arcade in a town of less than 100,000, and he was treated as a big brother to the gay community, and took tons of crap from the 'high and mighty' citizens. These establishments have their place.
This adventure allowed us to witness the aftermath of patrons' cream filling blasting the walls of the Big Top Adult Arcade with a heavy crust after strangling their balloon animals with loving joy to highbrow "educational" media. Get the bleach and electric pressure washer. We've got some over-achievers here, folks.
how do these places exist still? i mean internet????
Their primary purpose these days is a place for gay men to cruise. No one is going here for the films, believe me.
@@DanBellFilmItThat is a good reason

If those walls could talk they would beg for demolition.
Definately lol

This was awesome

Imagine walking into your favourite adult arcade for your daily 9am relaxation time and Dan is just standing at the top of the stairs with a camera
Ha ha ha ha ha! 🤣🤣🤣
😂😂😂😂
😂
Most of these people probably enjoy being filmed.
Me: "Hey, Dan!"
Dan: "Shhhhhhhhhhhh"
I never thought a brief camera pan into an empty booth could make my fight or flight kick in
Hahaha
Dude, right?! My brain wanted to toss my phone away from me _so_ bad! Mortifying stuff

Unlike Dan, I was not ready to start my morning with him filming load bearing walls.

A John Waters movie IRL; I assume these places only stay open as sex solicitation fronts, as you can download any porn you want for free now
It's convenient for the minister, however. As soon as the service is over, he can nip over for some refreshment.

Dan needs to interview you. In one of the stalls.

LMFAO 😂I was thinking that
Genius! 😂😂😂😂
This would be an amazing idea
Dave Attel is the host.
no we don't want to see the walls all blasted under blacklight lol
I can’t believe these places still exist in 2024.
As a former adult bookstore clerk this put a smile on my face.
I would watch a full season of dead adult theater exploration. Dan Bell + 70s erotica style editing = fantastic content.
Reminds me of my one slumming visit to NYC's Show World in '99; it was a maze of this shit
I second this. Would love to see Dan visiting vice all around the country!
“I feel like I’m in hell” LMAOOO i couldn’t have thought of a more succinct description for what I was seeing until you said that. The comedic timing took me out 😂
'Do they ever clean this place?'
Once every 10 years, whether it needs it or not.
Are they using fire?

So many fist babies died needlessly.
I hope Dan wore one of those masks he wears in old abandoned buildings. Oh no, that's not what I meant!
Of all your videos this is the most cursed one yet
Dan Bell beams with pride.
Someone please explain to me how it gets so high up onto the walls lmao
I’d like an explanation too.
When I was 18...
im guessing sticky fingers
A very aggressive rub and a then right at the limit a massive pelvic thrust, that's my theory
Detergent/cleaners glow under black light. Someone cleaned at some point and what you're really seeing under the light is a cleaning chemical residue.
Dan, hopefully you burned your cloths and shoes. Bathed with hospital strength disinfecting soap. 😂
Thanks for taking one for the team, only you would have filmed this for us
This is VILE
This needs to be pinned. 😂
See how the likes are at 69 😂
Exactly what the internet is for.
How does the Dept of Health not go into a place like that with a black light and tell them to clean it up. That’s grosse!! 🤢🤮
Can you say reward with certain blindness? IIRC...
I'm guessing because they don't serve food.

Maybe it's kind of like those "how far can you spit" contests.
The only time that place was “clean” was when it opened. Straight out of a horror movie.
I can’t believe places like this are still open. I thought all these places shut down in the 2000’s at latest.

Dan is the only person on the internet to not only film this hellhole but to also tote along a black light. Love it.
Yuuussss!! This is the shit I love to see! 😂
I LOVE covering this kind of stuff. I had to go at 9 am when they opened so no one would be there yet. What a way to start the day. lollll

Reminds me of a haunted house at an amusement park
It’s amazing how UA-cam just shadow throttles videos they deem “inappropriate”. This vid had 100k views on the day 1 but only a few thousand on day 2?

So ironic there would be a mission next to an adult arcade.
