Wild how the cash prize was the same as it was on Joe Schmo... 20 years later.
This show would not have been so good if they hadn't found literally the most affable human in existence
I mean... That's the reason the show worked. Unfortunately...
to me the funniest part of the show was james marsden acting like the sonic movie was his magnum opus. and ronald being like “yea i heard that sucked actually” only to watch it and apologise the next day bc he liked it
We are just one step away from “They are all actors and the viewer is the one being pranked”.
We’re slowly reinventing the concept of acting
Blair Witch Project?
I’m pretty sure that’s exactly what this show is when I watched it I felt more like Ronald was also in on the whole thing
Lol the camera pans out to reveal a top-down view of some random dude hunched over on the toilet, watching a (now) view of himself crapping.
me and my wife LOVED this show. Ronald has to be the nicesit human being ever. Its rough with what he dealt with after the show but i really do hope that passes because he in one of the most genuine people iv ever seen. You dont just show someone the bugs life you know.
What happened to him after the show? 😞
@@erikaenchante he went through a period of not being able to figure out if stuff was staged or real. So he basically had a bit of some mild paranoia and some PTSD for the lack of a better term.
@@LordJudgement1818that's pretty sad, damn. Hope he got good money, but the show itself was damn expensive. (I haven't watched the whole video due to someone else's spoiler concerns)
they should do the reverse where the "Truman" is actually in on the prank without anyone knowing and the show is actually about them messing with the actors and producers who constantly scramble to maintain the illusion
That's actually a great concept
Something like this has actually been done it was a bit dark but the plot of the show was about a live audience that gets to choose how they would like to mess with what they assumed was some random innocent person (he was an actor and all the tasks/accidents that happened to him wasn't real) the audience kept on chossing more extreme accidents to happen to him until he ended up severely injured (again its not real but they think it is) so its a bit dark in the sense that people would injure someone just for entertainment the show was a British show and was aired either in the 90s or early 00s can't really remember
but then, the producers would place both against them
@Genesisorgin can you please let me know the name of the show! I would love to watch that!!!
I remember that@@Genesisorgin
This is pretty much exactly how I felt about the show. I think for what it is, it’s about as well executed as possible, and definitely is not aimed to humiliate. That said, Ronald was forming real bonds with fake people. I don’t think that can ever not be fucked up.
Lisa Gilroy had the funniest lines imo. The "bones and then bones with other bones and then bones" line had me dying.
I laughed so much at her explaining the tweets. Kind of reminded me of the tiktok ceo questioning
I felt super bad for Ronald, he genuinely made friends with some of the other jurors while they were in character and seemed like a really sweet person, then had to find out his new friends were lying to him the whole time. Even though they went to decent lengths to not make Ronald the butt of the joke, you can see the betrayal cross his face when the big reveal happens. I agree we shouldn't do this kind of thing to people.
at the end of the show, it shows that he actual is still friends with a lot of the people on the show including James Marsden
Well yeah he's a sweet guy, I'd be pissed and never watch Marsden flick.
It would've been crazy if they did this with a real criminal, they get actors and judge says "im not real, you can go" and gets free
But wait, if he’s a “real criminal” wouldn’t he have to do a real trial after the fake one?
That would be more of a _smooth_ criminal!
This kind, very naive man absolutely melted my heart.
I couldn’t finish this show. Even if the subject had a good attitude about it playing games with someone’s mind for weeks seems wrong.
Agreed. I love Eric Andre sometimes, but I can't believe he goes so far sometimes.
Then definitely don't watch Joe Schmo. They continually push him to see what they can get away with. And he's a genuinely good guy.
this would probably haunt me for the rest of my life :(
edit: idk how much this actually hurt him, but if a bunch of people i thought were my friends and kinda made community with were just characters, i’d actually break down and cry in front of everyone
Genuine question, how much would the hurt be lessened, if it turned out the people playing characters did actually like you as a person, like what happened with Ronald here?
@@ronburgundy244 i think when you get to a point where your sense of reality is so warped that you start to ask what is real and what isn’t, it might be hard to take people by their word… especially if you’ve already been wronged by them. on the other hand talking it out with the people involved might help with processing everything
I feel like they probably couldn't keep this show going for multiple seasons, or people would start questioning their own jury duty service.
James Marsden consistently makes me cry laughing 😂
But ... did you buy Sonic, or rent it?
I lost it when the asain guy tried to get 20 bucks from him in a bet, he was willing to lose it just for fun.
And then, somehow, he wins 100x and the asian dude has no idea how to pay that and is desperate for the rest of the show.
I have to ask: is any of this actually legal? I mean, there are usually laws against impersonating government officials or police officers. One of these actors is straight-up impersonating a judge to an unsuspecting citizen.
Well it's a fictional television show. And Ronald almost certainly signed some papers agreeing to having been a part of it after the ruse was revealed to him.
I believe its only illegal if your impersonating a public officer in an actual court/legal setting. Otherwise no actor could portray them
@@under20over40 I mean, in the case of things like scripted tv or movies, everyone involved is aware that none of this is real. But in this situation, they straight-up told some random guy that this was an actual, real life judge. That seems slightly off, somehow...
You mean they entrapped him with it
If I were the dude being "pranked," I don't know if I would mentally recover. I have a weird fear that I am imagining everything that is happening and that none of it is real (prob from watching my dad decay and then die from dementia).
Sorry to hear that man
I’m so glad you made this because when I watched Jury Duty I immediately thought of your video on the Joe Schmo show. That was an amazing video and I was so excited to see if you’d make a video on Jury Duty!
Man, as somebody with trust issues, I think something like this would ruin me psychologically
Right?? I've got trust issues AND I'm paranoid.
This would obliterate many of us, lol
Only a matter of time before someone goes psycho after this, and we'll all have seen it coming from a million miles away.
Uh yeah. Look up the Jenny Jones murder in 1995.
2:15 Ayo is that Prince Edward from Enchanted 😂
Edit: Yes. Yes it was.
What a weird, paranoid trend of reality TV. Feels like these things are really troubling from an ethical POV, but I doubt that will stop them if they make money.
yeah, I dont really think fucking up unsuspecting peoples grasp on reality for entertainment purposes is something that should be happening
@@WhichDoctor1I mean, Ronald's perspective on reality isn't all that damaged considering he's still friends with people involved in the show including James Marsden.
It’s basically Darren brown meets the office
Thanks for shouting out the podcast!
3:03 YEAH TRUE 😭
When did gaslighting someone become an acceptable form of entertainment for the mainstream?
My favourite moment is when Ronald advises a juror to fake being racist. It is such a goofball moment.
Ronald is the nicest guy, going out of his way to help everyone. He did so without expecting reward.
It is a real shame that a whole month of his life turned out to be fake. Poor guy.
okay but imagine jury duty if the hero Role was also an actor pretending to be a regular guy to prank the others and the show kind of becomes a battle of improv
I seem to be the only person on the planet who couldn’t be convinced that Ronald himself wasn’t an actor. I watched most of the whole series assuming thinking the reality premise was a setup for a comedy and assuming Ronald was an actor like everyone else. I’m still confused by the fact that most of the “actors” were more believable to me as their characters than “Ronald” was as “himself.” I don’t buy the coincidence at all that Ronald just happened to have a DVD of Marsden’s movie at home. I think Ronald’s name was also a big hint that he was manufactured.
It’s for sure possible, but that seems like a colossally waste of a reveal. Producers of these shows want the biggest reaction possible and to let something like that just breeze away is a waste of money. I think they really just found a weird, not great at show business dude, and in its own way that’s pretty realistic. Not everyone’s gonna have the perfect tv reaction.
I hate shows like this because IMO the people who are being tricked show a lot of features I recognise in myself as an autistic person. I'm not saying they all are undiagnosed autistic but damn they're good at finding people with those kinds of traits (naive, trusting, people pleasing etc).
That's incredibly scary tbh
These kinds of shows erode people's ability to trust others, if you ask me.
If james mardsen was in any room with me, I would be heavily distracted and be the creepy person who can’t stop looking at him, but I would try not to.
I never really liked reality TV. Even when it's about stuff I'm into, like cars or music. There's just something, IDK, "trashy" about them? I mean, I'm not exactly a high-class dude or anything (disabled former truck driver), but these shows come off as exploitative more often than not.
14:45 i totally agree
Yeah this show was so much better and less mean spirited than the other one you covered. Ronald was never the butt of the jokes and they didn't force him to do embarrassing things and laugh at him behind the scenes. And you can tell he didn't feel bad about the whole thing based on interviews and the fact that a lot of them are still friends with him.
I fear being the target of one of these shows. I shall simply never go on a show!
Simply sue this is so illegal
I always get to the end of the video then realise I could have been watching this on Nebula.
This is unrealistic af!! Jurors are NEVER allowed to talk to each other until starting deliberations in the jury room. 🙄🙄🙄
I don’t think that’s quite correct, though it’s possible I’m mistaken. They are allowed to talk to one another, but NOT about the case. If it ever comes out that the jurors have discussed the case at any point prior to deliberations, it can easily result in a mistrial. I believe they also monitor the jury to a minor extent to make sure they aren’t talking about anything regarding the case.
Particularly in a situation like a sequestered jury, it would be too difficult and bizarre to ensure the jurors never talk at all, so the judge will just hammer home the point that there will be consequences for the case (and potentially the jurors) if the admonition against discussing the case is not followed.
Such a good video! I’m a subscriber and I’m sad that I didn’t see this on my feed until today
The concept of this show is so uncomfortable to me. It's nice that we discovered the main person is a good person, but the idea of being able to lie to someone and sequestered without their consent (ie.with full knowledge of why they are pulled away from their work/family/etc) for reality TV is terrifying to me. Like what if instead of a month it was a year?
I'm glad to read comments like these. My wife watched the show and enjoyed it, and I watched a couple episodes with her, but the whole premise freaks me out. Playing it fast & loose with someone's perception of reality for an extended period, for profit and entertainment...feels like we're just one step removed from The Running Man.
anyone remember that singing competition but they were actually all bad singers? that is my favorite "Truman show" show.
Is it just me or was the actor who played Jack Limes featured in a close up when the Mom was on the stand crying about needing a change ?
Wow this seems like a really great way to further undermine jury participation.
This feels like paleo-Nathan Fielder, almost.
Always look forward to one of your videos. Thanks!
There was another movie sorta like The Truman Show, but he actually knew the camera was on him.... I forget what it was called, if anyone remembers, let me know. I think Ellen DeGeneres was in that movie too.
I loved this show it was so hilarious
Myatt becoming Sherlock Holmes when it came to women will always be a classic Joe Schmo moment
The thing that keeps me up at night, is what if Ronald did say yes to help that couple with soaking. Would the actors actually have to have sex while Ronald bounces up and down on the coach?
Actually wild to think about that, obviously the actors wouldn’t go through with it, though still even them explaining their way out of not going through with it would have been wild. And not only that, because if he agree, it would have then made Ronald(the shows ‘hero’) come off weird/creepy to most of the shows audience. Great point you brought up! Surprised I haven’t seen any people bring that up / hadn’t even thought about it myself ! Lol
I enjoyed this one.. but I was constantly on the edge, worried that it would get mean or it would show a side of him that most wouldn't want to reveal.
Thanks for posting this!
And it's not even the first time
wait they let Kenny Boy on a jury?
How this video only get 12k views
If this is real, how is this legal? Is this not fraud?
Gaslighting as comedy is just the kind of thing you'd expect in post-truth America. This has big "Empire in Collapse" energy.
Loved this show, found it hilarious. So much so that the cruel prank aspect of it was completely unnecessary. Cast Ronald with another actor and you have a brilliant, dry improv comedy instead of another series of lies around a poor mark.
This show was insane 😂😂😂
Imagine cameras on the jury for Trump 😮
The whole point of the Truman Show, is that it was an awful thing to do to someone. I preferred Jury Duty to Joe Schmo, but I'm with you, these shows should stop. By the way I found out about Joe Schmo through your video, I like that you have moved back from the camera since then! 👍🏿
Who’s that one actor in this idk his name but I know he’s an actor so I would’ve caught on
1:14 I remember when the Simpsons made fun of the trend
3:07 bruh wasn't that James Marsden?
Yes! He plays himself!!
I watched Jury Duty a couple of months ago and I thought it was brilliant. KorkytheKat UK
I just couldn’t believe Ronald was actually fooled
You have never heard of Florida, haven't you?
Yeah there's no way he believed it. But it's a pretty good show, Ronald feels more like the protagonist in the office than Joe Schmo
I had a feeling you'd be talking about this show after seeing your video on the Joe Schmo show. It was the first thing I thought of when my wife and I started watching this show.
excuse me, no one will talk about the fact the actor that does cyclops in the original xmen trilogy is there!?
This is ..odd.. its illegal and unethical to conduct an experiment on someone, without knowledge, film/audio..
What?!
I really wish this show had just been scripted. It would have been just as funny, and way less unethical! I still feel bad for enjoying it. If I had been in Ronald's position I don't think I would have forgiven any of them.
You really reuploaded the same video
I didnt recognise anyone else.
so youtube recommended your joe shmoe show video and i check your latest video and its exactly the same
also i like your omegle videos
❤
sitcoms are both more and less true to life than people think if only because dealing with humans on a regular basis will mean you get to deal with a number of bug fucking nuts humans
👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
First time I gave your video a like in a while, My Brother. You was on that bull when you made that comment saying "We Not Africans" comment on a livestream about a year ago. Bro We descended. If We ain't that, then we just "Black Anglo-Saxons" because We got the white man's name, language, religion, stories, folklore and refer to his timeline of history. We Africans, Brother.
Alot of Africans dont agree brother
If you think everyone of the same race is the same your a racist. Get your bigotry out of here.
bro every human is descended from africans
I don't care
