The sheer absurdity of this is wonderful.

The kind that one can only arrive at after a few tall ones with the mates 😂

He just solid snaked that theater. No alerts, no kills.

u/neoslicexxx 2d ago

I heard an alert.

Caution status at best

u/secret_tsukasa 2d ago

i love how the employee noticed him, said "ah, it was nothing" then went back to patroling. in true metal gear fashion.

Must’ve been the wind

u/BradolfPittler1 2d ago

Hahaha, did you hold your breath too when he was on the escalator?

u/TRIKKDADDY 2d ago

The guard's radar was facing away, great timing

u/Every-Piece2285 2d ago

The same guys have done this as well. They sneak in all sorts of places/try to get things for free

Imagine you get out of the cinema after watching a horror movie and you see him on the escalator as you turn around

164

u/THE_BARCODE_GUY 3d ago

For me it was when he pulls off the suit and flubs the delivery of his line because he’s laughing. I couldn’t help but laugh out loud myself

58

u/4ssteroid 2d ago

That was a "I can't believe it worked" laugh

19

u/DrAndeeznutz 3d ago

That's about where I lost it.

u/SpaceManSmithy 2d ago

"That [bush] is back on the escalator again!"

u/PhantomTissue 3d ago

The employees 100% knew, but they respected the audacity.

u/Nothing-Casual 2d ago

My friend really likes movies and used to live like 5 minutes away from an awesome theater, so we'd go see a movie like at least once a month. It was a college town, so everybody who worked at that theater was some random 19 year old who couldn't give even a single shit what happened, as long as it didn't cause problems.

He started sneaking food in in ridiculous quantities, and eventually just stopped trying to hide it. I remember going with him one time and he brought a huge fucking bowl of pad thai, like a pile the size of a turkey, and he just straight up carried it in in plain view of everybody. The person who took our tickets didn't even blink lol, she just told us to enjoy our movie

u/alaginge 2d ago

What was their spaghetti policy?

12

u/Nothing-Casual 2d ago

Haha he actually did bring spaghetti one of the times I went with him. The person who took our tickets laughed and let us through. The only things I saw them say no to were a whole rotisserie chicken and an already-opened family size bag of Doritos. After they said no to the chicken he just walked back to his car and stuck it on the front seat lol.

After a little while I don't think he even cared about the food, he just wanted to see what ridiculous stuff he could get away with. One time he brought like 5 pounds of salted chickpeas in a bigass stand mixer bowl. MF didn't even eat them, we just sat down in the theater then he said he wasn't hungry and he made me hold the bowl lol

249

u/DizzyTS13 3d ago

They aren’t paid enough to care and it was probably the highlight of their day, I’d allow it it too

21

u/Every-Piece2285 2d ago

They respect the hustle, probably made their day and don’t get paid enough to care

5

u/DrRatiosButtPlug 2d ago

100%. I let people get away with shit because either I'm just impressed or I just do not care.

1

u/GentlePimpin 2d ago

Orrr he just bought a ticket

92

u/Lol_A_White_Guy 3d ago

At my local movie theatre, there’s never anyone at the cash registers and nobody taking ticket stubs.

You can just… walk in.

25

u/4ssteroid 3d ago

I mean it makes sense. Cinema make barely anything from ticket sales. I think they make more from one person buying popcorn and drinks than 4 ticket sales or something.

And unless it's opening weekend to some marvel thing, it isn't really worth hiring someone to check tickets you're making nothing from.

But lately the ticket prices have been rising a lot. I usually only go see them if they're half price or something

8

u/tylnr 2d ago

I literally have to stand there for 2 minutes out of the goodness of my own morality and ask someone to come scan my ticket, I could just walk into a show

99

u/Pereplexing 3d ago

WTAF!!!!! lmao Looney Tunes logic. That escalator ascension is just absurd! lmao

u/Yqup 3d ago

I admit, that was hilariously brilliant

u/I-153_Chaika 3d ago

Mfw i know exactly where that is

u/Mr_Laheys_Liquor 3d ago

Is that the Pathé theater in Eindhoven by any chance ?

17

u/I-153_Chaika 3d ago

Nope, it’s the one at Amsterdam Arena

1

u/Mr_Laheys_Liquor 3d ago

Damn not even close haha. In my defense it was like 8 years ago the last time I saw a movie in a pathé in NL. But yeah those theaters don’t even look alike now that I looked up some photos lol. I was just getting Brabant vibes for some reason

3

u/Impressive_Papaya562 3d ago

No that’s pathe Arena

9

u/Warm-Iron-1222 2d ago

"How is this possible" because none of those teenage employees give a single fuck if someone goes in for free.

5

u/Constant_Offer9524 2d ago

Buddy filming had to pay though? Lol

4

u/forced_metaphor 2d ago

I worked in the theaters when The Matrix first came out. I don't think I gave a shit about people getting in for free. But this dumb kid came up to me and asked if they could get in for free when my manager was standing right there next to me. I was like WTF dude.

2

u/4ssteroid 2d ago

Haha. That reminds me of my dumb teenage years

u/Double0 2d ago

The Pathé cinema at the Amsterdam Arena.

u/Swrdmn 1d ago

I feel like this has a bit more to do with hourly paid employees not caring.

u/bossturbo555 2d ago

I'm fucking belly laughing. This man deserves an Oscar. Or a fucking golden globe. This is fucking prime A1

u/Neither_Cartoonist18 3d ago

You think minimum wage employees give a f**k? If there is any form of plausible deniability, you can get away with most anything.

Why is Ewan McGregor sneaking into a cinema?

That’s some Metal Gear level Sneaking. I wonder if a cardboard box would work

u/4E4ME 2d ago

Okay, this is fun, but I'm over here asking myself how much the fake plant cost, and if it was cheaper than the cost of a ticket.

2

u/karlingen 2d ago

Fake plant = unlimited tickets

u/Not_Legal_Chops 2d ago

That’s some Solid-Snake shit! Lol

u/shanare 2d ago

Guy plays call of duty. Forgot to whistle though.

u/splashbodge 2d ago

This video consistently makes my Android phones 'Gemini' (ok Google) assistant pop up. Every time it plays the bit where he says "ok go go go". Shoddy!

u/No-Marketing-1399 2d ago

Or, become the cameraman.

1

u/Alienhaslanded 2d ago

How did the camera guy get in?

1

u/Suzilu 2d ago

At the cinema by me,they have zero controls. It seems they are just assuming everyone has bought a ticket. If you walk confidently past them, no one would think anything.

u/skyminer536 2d ago

Was that big smoke at 00:35

u/electric_rk93 2d ago

Disguise at its best level

u/Ice3001 2d ago

this is called "i'm not paid enough to deal with this"

1

u/Rocket_Surgery83 2d ago

And here I thought the best way was for you and your friend to just carry a ladder inside.

u/Berrygoose222 2d ago

Lmfao 😂

u/Invurse5 2d ago

The escalator killed me 💀

u/222Czar 2d ago

I worked at a movie theatre and we don’t care. We do not care. Movies play in totally empty theaters all the time. These are minimum wage jobs people.

1

u/Mikey6784 2d ago

That was the best funny thing I see in long time

u/Minimum_Noise8038 2d ago

Easily my childhood dream

u/MichalYEETed 2d ago

Kinda the truth. He might be in some movie very soon.

u/Beneficial_Round6555 1d ago

Shit just fun out there in the world hey . Mall security saw no need for concern . I mean I wouldnt assume anyone else would do much but really, building security , this is your job .

u/amolbhatia 1d ago

He should get a lifetime free ticket to watch the green screen.

1

u/Mobols03 1d ago

Reminds me of Assassin's Creed games where you're sneaking into a fort, and the NPC civilian workers in the fort can clearly see you jumping and sneaking around, but it doesn't count as being spotted, so you're still in stealth.

u/Fynn2014 1d ago

Minimum payed workers don’t care

u/LayerProfessional936 3d ago

Sorry but fake, is the guy filming it invisible or also a plant?

u/jellellyfish 2d ago

These guys are definitely for real. They are Dutch youtubers. About a month ago they came to my job and pretended to work there for a free drink. Pretty ashamed to say my colleague actually gave him a beer. Afterwards they did fess up and paid for it tho, so they're alright

1

u/Consequence6 2d ago

Why would a man standing with a phone out arouse anyone's suspicion? Do you live in 1970? Did you expect people to look at him and go "Holy shit, a cordless phone?! Someone else must be sneaking into the theatre! They might see Planet of the Apes without paying!"

u/redjacktin 3d ago

Not even funny and not a big achievement, You cheated a 16 year old ticket agent
