00:01Oh, the cinema.
00:03A magical place where we get to get lost in a world of wonder and...
00:09I'm just telling you what I heard.
00:10Seriously, people?
00:12I don't know about you, but I've had enough of these loud talkers...
00:16Boom!
00:19That's what you get!
00:20...and the theater texters.
00:21I think I hit B as in boy 8.
00:23Get her, get her, get her, get her.
00:27You wanna mess with me at the movies?
00:28Go ahead, make my day.
00:33Here we go.
00:35So I've assembled an elite team with a particular set of skills to engineer the perfect pranks.
00:40Thea, the welder.
00:42Miss Stephanie, the programmer.
00:44And Alan, the maker.
00:46Our mission is simple.
00:49We'll fabricate an arsenal of complex contraptions,
00:52find those who violate the basic rules decent people follow,
00:55and engineer some karmic justice.
00:57This isn't just a prank show.
01:00This...
01:01is revenge.
01:07We all love a trip to the movies, but when things go wrong, they can go really wrong.
01:13Turn your phones down!
01:17One of the things that I do not like about going to movie theaters, the other people, the other patrons,
01:23they don't know how to act.
01:24I don't really like it when someone's on the cell phone.
01:26What I hate?
01:27Actually, I don't really like the cheese from the nachos.
01:30That's basically it.
01:32Nacho cheese is delicious, so I'll disregard that insane statement.
01:37But I think we can agree that a bad trip to the theater usually begins with rude moviegoers.
01:43And it's those people who need to go home.
01:46Goodbye, everyone.
01:50Movies are such a great example where you get people together who don't know each other and, like, there's a
01:55social contract.
01:56You gotta do things right.
01:58Like, no cell phones.
02:00Being on it's annoying.
02:01Talking on it's, like, next level.
02:03Yeah.
02:03All right, what do we do to cell phone people?
02:05Maybe we could just dump something on them.
02:06A giant mountain of just popcorn.
02:09I like that.
02:10Uh-huh.
02:10To target a single person in a crowded theater, our delivery system will have to be precise.
02:15So we'll need to engineer a device that allows us to drop it on the texter, but not on their
02:20friendly neighbors.
02:23Trash in the movie theater.
02:24Are you supposed to leave the popcorn and the drink there, or are you supposed to take it with?
02:28No, no.
02:28No?
02:28You have to clean that up.
02:29Because why would they have the trash, the recycling, everything, if you weren't supposed to take your trash and recycling
02:34it yourself?
02:35Do it yourself.
02:35So not only do you need to do it yourself, but you have to do it right, too.
02:38All right, so if you screw up your sorting of trash, we're gonna get them.
02:42Mm-hmm.
02:42Well, how can we get them?
02:43So, like, if you put up a plastic bottle in the trash.
02:47It just explodes back in their face.
02:48Yeah.
02:48It just goes in, and then everything comes out like that.
02:51I like that.
02:51I'm liking this idea.
02:52I feel good about this.
02:54So for our movie theater revenge, we're going after two types of movie jerks.
02:59First, the lazy recycler.
03:02We're targeting a violator hiding in plain sight.
03:05This offender might not even know they're doing the wrong thing.
03:08Now, you might argue, who cares if they're throwing their trash in the wrong bin?
03:13But the societal cost of producing plastic each year is nearly $4 trillion.
03:18By recycling plastic bottles, we save on production and energy costs.
03:22And those savings trickle down to all of us.
03:26Next, the loud talkers and cell phone abusers.
03:30Movie theater texters are the worst, and we're gonna let them know that.
03:35The popcorn dump will be for our most egregious of offenders.
03:38But for more mild theater problems, I've asked Thea to spring into action.
03:45So I'm currently hand-making springs.
03:47I want them to fit inside these popcorn buckets, and it turns out you can't buy springs that are shaped
03:52like a popcorn bucket off the shelf.
03:54When you're an inventor, you have to custom make your parts.
03:57This is actually a firework transmitter.
04:00So we want popcorn buckets all over the theater, and I can control specifically which popcorn bucket goes off.
04:07While exploding popcorn boxes are cool, around here, you know, we like to take things to 11.
04:13And so for that...
04:14We want to build a rig that works like a claw machine, so I decided to build our version of
04:18a single girder bridge crane.
04:20Those normally have two parallel trusses and one big beam across that moves up and down the Y axis,
04:27and a trolley that moves side to side on the X axis.
04:29I swap the beam to a single-strand Kevlar line, and that way I can build this in any movie
04:35theater.
04:35For the rails, I use T-slot framing. That way it works kind of like a roller coaster where it
04:40locks, but it can still move up and down.
04:43And everything is controlled with this transmitter, including the drop latch mechanism.
04:48And now we just got to test it.
04:50Not liking what that looks like.
04:52Hey, everyone!
04:54A bad pinata about to happen.
04:56Nice build, by the way, Stephanie.
04:58Yeah, you're impressed?
04:59Yeah, this looks good.
05:00Take a seat.
05:01I have these, like, beautiful items for you to wear.
05:05Amazing. Wow.
05:05I think you're gonna need this.
05:07Oh, it's got, like, a big needle on the top.
05:10Wait a second.
05:11Can you please also put on your blindfold?
05:13Oh, no!
05:14It's great!
05:14Yay!
05:15This is the rig that we're gonna put in a movie theater.
05:18So I just wanted to test it on you.
05:20Are you guys excited?
05:22No!
05:23Was this really necessary to demonstrate the capabilities of the system?
05:27Are you gonna count down for us?
05:29No.
05:29What?
05:34Oh!
05:35Yes!
05:36Yes!
05:37Wow!
05:39So what do you think, Mark? It's ready?
05:41I can confirm it works.
05:42Ready to fill it up with popcorn?
05:43Yeah, let's do it.
05:47We've taken over the Marina Theater for one reason only.
05:51And that's to catch people in the middle of a movie violating social norms.
05:57We set up three different free screenings of the Batman, and the crowds are pumped.
06:01But little do they know, just like the Caped Crusader himself, I'll be watching and waiting to deliver justice.
06:09So we've got some infrared technology set up here so we can watch the moviegoers in the dark from the
06:14theater next door.
06:15And if at one point, let's say you pull out your phone to send a text message, well, Thea has
06:20a beautiful-looking briefcase here.
06:22And she presses a single button, and then this happens.
06:26And then for those extreme violators who were just engrossed in their phones the whole time, well, they get the
06:32big dump.
06:35At which point, I hijack their movie and dish out some public shame.
06:40I'm really excited.
06:41Bust out the popcorn.
06:44Looks like he's on his phone.
06:45He's just checking for his seat with a flashlight.
06:48Yeah, you can tell how dark it is in there because everyone has their flashlights.
06:51What is all that flashing?
06:53Look at the seat.
06:54Look at the seat.
06:55Did you see the pattern?
06:56Look at that.
06:57Wow.
06:57All those dots.
06:58That's really cool.
06:59I actually worked with some guys at Apple who did this, and they use IR and lasers to do the
07:05face ID.
07:06And also for taking pictures of the proximity, it flashes IR out in the front.
07:10So it's like shooting out invisible lasers?
07:12Yeah.
07:13Look at that!
07:14Wow!
07:15One of the primary reasons for using IR in the theater is it's really easy to identify the people,
07:20because you see these bright flashing spots when they're like pulling out their phone
07:24and it's doing like facial recognition stuff.
07:26This is really cool.
07:27Okay.
07:28Up her rights on her phone.
07:29I have a perfect bird's eye view of her phone right here.
07:31Is she on Instagram?
07:32Oh, we're gonna get you some Instagram-worthy moments here in a minute.
07:35Don't worry.
07:36Coming up, it's showtime.
07:38I'm moving it into place.
07:39Here we go.
07:40Three, two, one, fire!
07:47We're here at a movie theater looking for people who do the worst thing you can do in a movie,
07:52which is texting in the dark.
07:54The second this movie starts, these phones better disappear.
07:57They better be gone.
07:58Yeah.
07:58All right.
07:58Thea, get out of here.
08:00Put on your earpiece.
08:01Wish me luck.
08:01And stay off your phone.
08:03I'll try.
08:04With the audience in their seats, it's time for Thea to go in with her remote control trigger for the
08:08spring-loaded popcorn buckets.
08:11There's Thea.
08:11She's in position.
08:12All right.
08:12All right.
08:13I see a lot of flashes.
08:15That's a phone.
08:16Look, you can see the blinking.
08:17Definitely phone.
08:17This guy.
08:18Oh, wait.
08:19He's turning his phone down, though.
08:20It's going away.
08:21Well done.
08:22That's the proper etiquette right there.
08:23Okay, the movie's started.
08:25All right, Thea, get ready, because I think we're gonna have just a room full of violators on this one.
08:29We've broken the theater into a grid system, just like Battleship.
08:32And the moment we see a violator, we let Thea know the grid number, she pulls the trigger, and Pop
08:38goes the corn.
08:38We're just looking for that characteristic Flash.
08:41This feels so, like, weird.
08:43I feel like a voyeur.
08:45Yeah, do these people realize that while they're watching a movie eating popcorn, we're watching a dog eating popcorn?
08:51It's very satisfying, actually.
08:51This is very meta.
08:53Is that a dog?
08:55She's swaddling the dog.
08:57The dog is a baby.
09:00Oh, wait.
09:00I saw Flash.
09:02Gonna get...
09:03Oh, there's a Flash.
09:04Oh, look.
09:04Right in the middle.
09:05Those two.
09:05Right there.
09:06Yeah, she was on the phone.
09:07She was just on the phone.
09:08Oh, oh, oh.
09:09Thea, get ready.
09:10Yeah, she's on.
09:11She's on.
09:11She's on.
09:12Hey, Thea hit B as in boy A.
09:15Get her, get her, get her, get her.
09:17Yay!
09:20They're looking inside.
09:23They're looking inside the bucket.
09:25These two were definitely puzzled by the extra pop in their popcorn, but at least now their focus is on
09:30the film and not their phones.
09:33Now it's time to up the ante for the more egregious offenders.
09:37Oh, wait.
09:38Her phone, her phone, her phone.
09:39Oh, she's on it.
09:40You see the flashes.
09:41She's talking to her friend.
09:42And her friend is.
09:43A double violation.
09:45Cause she's not telling her to put it away.
09:46Oh, you're busted.
09:48Okay.
09:49I'm moving it into place.
09:50You guys.
09:51What could she possibly be talking about?
09:53Here we go.
09:53No one sees the bucket.
09:55No one's looking up.
09:58Oh my goodness.
09:59That looks amazing.
10:00The suspense is killing me.
10:02All right.
10:02We're in position.
10:03Are you guys ready?
10:04So ready.
10:07Easy Mark.
10:08Here we go.
10:08Three.
10:09Two.
10:10One.
10:10Fire.
10:11Two, Here we go!
10:12Five.
10:15Two.
10:22Seven.
10:24Two Four.
10:25Two.
10:26Two.
10:27Two.
10:28Two.
10:29Two.
10:31One.
10:32Two.
10:34She is out.
10:34That is great.
10:41She's on her phone.
10:42Again.
10:42She's always on her phone.
10:44She did it again.
10:45That's like her fourth violation.
10:47I think we're good.
10:48I'm moving it over to her.
10:50You so much as glance at that phone.
10:54Oh, wait.
10:55Her phone, her phone, her phone.
10:58Oh, I think that's the wrong one.
11:00You can't do it.
11:06But you definitely were off by an entire seat.
11:10I mean, this is how that happens.
11:12I love it, because no one else around her knows that happened.
11:15What is she going to do?
11:17She's like, come on, lady.
11:19She's like, I don't want anyone to know.
11:20That is so funny.
11:22Upper right is still on his phone, dude.
11:24He's had his phone out.
11:26He doesn't care.
11:27Oh, look, now this dude is, like, throwing popcorn at people.
11:29Oh, my god.
11:31These guys have been on their phone
11:33for the entire movie.
11:34They've been talking.
11:35They were throwing popcorn.
11:37They were bothering the people in front of them.
11:39I hate to, like, waste the popcorn on them,
11:42because they're just gross violators.
11:43But at this point, it's like.
11:44You got to get them.
11:45You got to get them.
11:46We're, like, right above them, too.
11:48All right, we're going to hit them.
11:49Hurry up.
11:49Here we go.
11:50Three, two, one, boom.
11:59That's what you get.
12:01Yes!
12:01Yes!
12:01That was perfect.
12:04Look at how colored it is in his hair.
12:07Oh.
12:10All right.
12:11OK.
12:16We interrupt this feature film to inform you
12:19that we've installed some technology in the theater
12:21to know when people are texting in the film.
12:24So that's why you got the showering of popcorn above you.
12:27So do the right thing, and next time,
12:29keep your phones in your pocket.
12:31And by the way, you got, like, a bunch of popcorn
12:33in your hair, dude.
12:38That's great.
12:39You notice everyone else has their phones away now.
12:42That's amazing.
12:44They learned.
12:44They learned.
12:45They learned.
12:46Justice is insane.
12:47You guys, we did it!
12:49Good job.
12:49Oh my god, that was amazing.
12:51We had quite the group of folks today.
12:52There was a lot of violations in this theater.
12:55They were talking.
12:55There was horseplay.
12:57They were being obnoxious.
12:59And worst of all, those who were on their phones
13:01the whole time.
13:06I don't use my phone in the movie theaters.
13:09Not typically, but I don't know, this instance,
13:11I just so happy to be using my phone.
13:13So what was the important business
13:15that couldn't wait till after the movie?
13:16I personally was looking at my Tinder account.
13:19And he was showing me the girl with the Tinder account.
13:21Yeah, it was definitely a major violation for sure, yeah.
13:24Next thing you know, popcorn shower,
13:26and I was like, 10 buckets of popcorn was just all over me.
13:30I would totally say I would probably not use my phone again
13:33after this instance, yeah.
13:35Hey, I'm hoping my Tinder profile might kick off now, right?
13:37Yeah.
13:37Hit me up.
13:41I guess they say there's someone for everyone.
13:44So good luck, buddy.
13:49We're just about to exact some revenge
13:51on some lazy recyclers.
13:54One of the reasons I'm so passionate about recycling
13:57is because of the work I did with my friend
13:59and fellow YouTuber, Mr. Beast,
14:00on a project called Team Seas.
14:03I'm gonna attempt to collect 30 million pounds of trash
14:06from this river, working together
14:07with the floating 50-ton trash-eating robot.
14:15We set out with the audacious goal
14:17of removing 30 million pounds of trash from the ocean
14:19by raising 30 million dollars.
14:22Basically, one dollar means one less pound of trash
14:24or plastic in the ocean.
14:26So after rallying our friends and followers
14:28and the internet, not only do we meet our goal,
14:31but after two months, we actually surpassed it
14:33and we're still going strong.
14:37So don't be like these lazy movie patrons
14:39and go to TeamSeas.org where you can learn more.
14:46Nothing is more annoying than walking through
14:48nasty popcorn and sticky spilled soda
14:51on the way to your seat.
14:52Now, surprisingly, moviegoers who leave behind their trash
14:55are actually in the minority.
14:57A recent survey found that nearly 70%
15:00of movie theater patrons actually throw away their trash
15:03as they exit the theater.
15:04We wanted to create a trash can
15:06that could reject items thrown in the wrong bin,
15:08so Thea created a prototype
15:10that packs a serious punch.
15:12Okay, ready?
15:13Three, two, one.
15:22Oh!
15:24Yes!
15:25Whoa!
15:26It smells like gunpowder.
15:28Oh, it's an airbag?
15:29It's an airbag.
15:31I think I saw like a little mushroom cloud come out
15:33after it was done.
15:34It's still freaking hot.
15:35Yeah.
15:36And for that, I think I'm out.
15:38It's a great thought.
15:39I love the thought, but it's a little dangerous.
15:43Back to the drawing board.
15:45While I like the idea of a huge explosion,
15:47I think we should set our sights on a more precision-guided design.
15:50So we're setting out to make the world's first ever trash can in.
15:55So I'm going to weld these into a square base for the trash can.
15:59So it's not like gluing things together.
16:01You're actually fusing them and making them one piece.
16:04It's important the base is sturdy because I want this trash can to move.
16:08Next, we're going to steal a bunch of motors from some hoverboards.
16:12That looks complicated.
16:13I'm going to go back to screwing pipes together.
16:16That'll create a mobile base so we can go and chase down the non-recycling perpetrator.
16:22The door will swing open.
16:24And then finally, with the piece de resistance, we've got a couple of water bottles that can
16:28pneumatically shoot out at the person as they walk away.
16:38So the gauntlet has been thrown and we're ready for the challenge.
16:45We've taken over the marina theater for one reason only.
16:49And that's to catch people violating social norms.
16:52When the people load out, they'll be given two options on what to do with their recyclables.
16:57They can make the right choice and put it in here,
16:59or they can make the wrong choice and put it in here.
17:03And if they happen to put it in here,
17:06well, we're sending it right back out.
17:10Atta girl.
17:11Here we go.
17:12Exiting the theater.
17:13Yeah, just cruising past.
17:14They've got decisions to make.
17:16All right.
17:16I see a bucket.
17:17And I see a bottle.
17:19There's a bottle in his hand.
17:21And he's keeping it.
17:22He's keeping it.
17:22Okay, okay.
17:23Okay, okay.
17:24Definitely bottle.
17:31Oh!
17:33A little late on the draw there, Mark.
17:35Oh, I'm sorry.
17:36Okay, what do these people have?
17:42I think he's about to drink this and put it in.
17:45I think, yeah, he's about to put it in.
17:45He is.
17:46Get ready.
17:46Get ready.
17:48He's down in.
17:48He's down in.
17:49He's down in.
17:49Yeah, yeah, yeah.
17:53What?
17:54No.
17:55Oh, no, he sees them.
17:56Does he see them on the ground?
17:57Is he going to throw those out to you?
17:59No, he recycled those.
18:00He learned his lesson.
18:01We taught him.
18:01We taught him.
18:02He learned his lesson.
18:03Wow.
18:08I'm going to shoot them.
18:09Get both of them.
18:09Here I go.
18:10There you are.
18:11You got nailed over the head.
18:19Oh, wait.
18:20He's going to throw it away again.
18:22What?
18:22He's going to throw it away again.
18:24I have no idea what's going on.
18:29Dude, that was a direct hit.
18:32Right to the back of the head.
18:34Well, that's what you get, you know?
18:37Oh, these people, they got a vibe.
18:38They're going to do the wrong thing.
18:40Yeah, yeah.
18:40There goes the bucket.
18:42There goes the bottle.
18:43Oh, look.
18:43She's looking left.
18:44She looks left, looks right.
18:46I know it.
18:47Get her.
18:48Get her.
18:48She's going to the bathroom.
18:49Wait.
18:49Wait for her.
18:50Wait for her.
18:56Oh, there she is.
18:58Oh, you got her right in the face.
19:06She's laughing.
19:08She's laughing.
19:09She's laughing.
19:14I got her.
19:16I got her.
19:17I got her.
19:18Get out of here.
19:20And stay out.
19:21Yeah.
19:22Recycle.
19:23Recycle, lady.
19:24Next time, recycle your bottle.
19:27He's never going to believe her.
19:29We took care of the non-recyclers and hopefully they'll think twice next time they're leaving
19:33the theater.
19:35For those watching at home, just be careful yourself.
19:38Next time you go to a movie, make sure you're on your best behavior.
19:41Otherwise, we may be watching in the dark.
19:44And beyond that, just be a good person.
19:46It's not that hard.
19:48Oh, no.
19:49There's a lot here.
19:50A lot of gummy bears.
19:53Did you just eat that?
19:54Yeah.
19:55He's more butter.
19:56What's going on here?
19:57What is this?
19:57We've got a leaf blower turned to suck mode and it will take anything I put in the end
20:02of that into this giant human-sized vacuum bag.
20:07And you are the human.
20:09I'm going to be a bubble boy?
20:10But the trashy version of bubble boy.
20:12All right.
20:13Are you ready, buddy?
20:17A little popcorn?
20:25Follow me.
20:26Over here, bubble boy.
20:28Oh, here we go.
20:29A whole bucket of popcorn.
20:31Yeah.
20:35Yeah!
20:42Yeah!
20:43Yeah!
