Oh, RocketJump, how we love you.
Sometimes, Freddie Wong and co. hit the nail right on the head. While Google Glass is cool and all, we all know this is the kind of future we all fear when it catches on with the world on a mass scale: people walking into highways, dropping ladders and searching for “donkey balls.†So… many… donkey balls.
That ladder bit is definitely the best part of the short, because you know someone is going to be seriously injured for real in a manner similar to that, thanks to Glass, in the near future. It’s just a foregone conclusion.
Funny! But what’s even funnier is that the falling ladder is the only stunt that had to be CGI-ed. There’s no way that could happen in real life; he might be lucky enough to slip his arms and head through the steps as it falls on him, but then he’d get caught up on the lower steps. Fake! But the cars, trains and buses? That could happen. 🙂
