Some of these look like they're performances with audiences. If anyone is familiar with this show, is she supposed to go in? Like an intentional "Oops" moment for comedy?
Literally make the platform 2 ft shorter in distance. Atill crazy cool and talented and no one would ever think otherwise, but props for the never give, we got this approach
Horizontal video in a vertical frame. Taking 1/5 of the height. On a horizontal screen when this idiotic vertical video takes 1/5 of the width. Why the fuck I am watching Cirque du Soleil using 4% of my screen area? To be damned the moron who came up with vertical videos.
It's funny cause we originally had the 4:3 square box aspect ratios but then people were like "human eyes are wider than they are tall, so we're gonna do wide-screens" and everyone was like "oh okay, I mean the other way was fine but sure, I love these black bars" and then phones became TVs and all hell broke loose... and now we cater to cat and lizard people. https://imgur.com/r0ATGGH
Fun fact. You know, why the cat and lizard pupils are vertical? To improve _horozontal_ resolution (the narrower slit, the more details it picks). These animal hunt on a horizontal surface and they care for aiming in a horizontal plane, not that much in vertical.

How rough, that poor woman spending all day getting flipped off.

Step 1: Yeet the performer. Step 2 (optional): Yoink the performer.

Maybe the person on the right could move over just a bit?

If at first you don't succeed - dive dive again

He told me that every time he threw a woman he just went and got another one and I said that....
jaidehart
....it sounded like he was just feeding women to Cthulhu

Ditch shorty. Get a 7 foot catcher who has a 120 inch reach. Problem solved.

They're not very good at this.

If you want to add some incentive; put some sharks in the pool.

And lions. Plus the occasional electric eel

We get them wet but they never get to finish

That one dude seems like a lot of mechanical loss.

That must the most elaborate and convoluted way to throw someone in the water repeatedly

I thought that too. Though it seems there’s only a few up front, I also thought they might be coaches or trainers or something. I can’t really tell
HelpfulCorn
She is not supposed to go in and the stunt was successful when I saw it. This is "O"
StoppedLurkingtoDownvote
Thank you!
heironymousBonk
holy shit that looks fun
michiyl
People just throwing women around like it's nothing
jolem53
There should be piranhas in the water so no one gets lazy.

"How did practice go?" "Swimmingly."

Drain the pool and I bet they get it right!

I wonder if she lost a bet? Otherwise, fucking why?

I watched this one live. It worked.

Fun fact: they make TV series for vertical screen viewing only now. It's fucking weird.

damn them to hell, I guess

Pro-tip. If you watch on a desktop computer you can use your 27" monitor to see it like a postage stamp in the middle of the screen.
nation543
It's an old complaint, sir, as old as the first smart phones, but it checks out.
jesuisgur
The first smartphones should have refused to film when the camera was in vertical position. With a big arrow saying "Turn your phucking fone"
chewybacon
We must go deeper.
ihugpeople
meh
iamthemurray
Maybe it's become so commonplace that people forgot there are other ways to do it?
AzgarOgly
Hey! Somebody!
Please remind people that if they turn their phone to the left, they can watch and film the normal horizontal videos.

Interesting... didn't know that.

I thought she might make it at the end. The Rocky music mislead me!
AtmaDarkwolf
She just needs longer arms.
TheRicM
Same haha
blueluck
Have you seen the movie?
(Spoiler warning for a famous move from 50 years ago, I guess?)
Rocky loses the big fight at the end of the movie.
youtinybrainedwipersofotherpeoplesbottoms
Yeah, but he successfully runs up all them stairs.
ByThePowerOfSCIENCE
and yet he won - he beat his circumstances, proving to himself that he could be more by toughing it out (and a bit of luck)
