I have a better fictional universe where everyone is willing to put just anything as a stake on a game/bet. It's yugioh and it's 5000% better than this LMAO
No Game No Life is better still.
@@fluffskunknah Yu-Gi-Oh had them send people to the shadow realm. That's even cooler than a show with no season 2

Kaiji is the quintessential gambling anime
Bar bets are a tradition that I believe came from the UK and kind of died out in the US. The thing about bar bets is they're supposed to be cheeky and fun and the stakes are supposed to be like a pint or 5 bucks. Your "mark" is kind of in on it anyway. It's more like they're buying you drinks to show them another trick or joke.
Or the bet is just a way to get both of you to do sth really silly but fun for the whole group.
Yeah, like i used to watch scam school, hacking the system, and modern rogue and would try those bets brian brushwood would do, and would ask people if they wanted to see a trick or take a bet and people just look at me like i am the weirdest person ever. But when ive done it to British, Irish, and Australian people they were down.
My dad shot pool for many years. Sharking is sometimes frowned upon which he did a bit when he was younger, but casual bets for a handful of dollars was still pretty common up until I want to say the mid 2000s, but definitely not just out on the street or something. Friendly competition with low stakes can be fun. And you wouldn't just take a bet from some rando who just walked in.
yeah, classics being things like betting someone a quid you can drink the pint they just bought without touching the glass or using a straw. You then down the drink and pay the pound, which of course is significantly less than the cost of a pint these days
@@tristanholderness4223 I heard the voice of an angry Scotsman read that last sentence. Especially the last part. As if the old man remembers his grandfather tell him of a time when a pint could be had for a tuppence. Not that you're the old man. He was at one of those old bars with Titanic Thompson.
Titanic Thompson's origin story is even better given the historical context. Imagine some amateur magician in 2002 was like "welp... they said whoever made a bet with me would never forget it... and THAT'S why they call me 9/11 Jones."
They don't make 'em like 9/11 Jones anymore..
I would 100% watch a show about the exploits of 9/11 Jones
In an alternate universe, this guy idolizes Ea-Nasir and sells people bad copper.

This show operates on Fallout: New Vegas logic where every other NPC will play a hand of caravan with you.

Shoutouts to Todd. God put him on Earth to do one thing: Destroy seafood. Fuck stupid bets, fuck being _cheated_ in said stupid bet, my man just wanted _at least_ seven pounds less crab meat in the world. What a hero.
A noble quest 🦀🤘
Should be a MoH recipient - but he would probably prefer an extra serving!
Search 'animal clock'. How heroic!
He is definitely my favorite character in the canon of this show
Well when crabs killed his father, and kidnapped his mother, I can't blame him for taking such joy in his revenge of eating large amounts of their brethren.
The premise of this show is like a gaming anime. The entire world seems to revolve inexplicably around high-stakes wagers, nobody ever refuses a challenge, any conflict can be resolved with a simple game of chance.
its like the Pokemon franchise with the whole "its customary that whenever two trainers eyes meet they must engage in a Pokemon battle, even if its literally the champion and you Will lose" but instead it's "whenever anyone offers any kind of bet you have to agree and uphold the results, even if its literally a scam artist and you Will lose"
Except this time around, the protagonist sucks at the games

The biggest lesson in life, "Every sample is a free sample (if you have a gun)."
What westerns taught me about Texas bets is that when you find out the other guy cheated, you don't honor the bet. You pull out a revolver and start basting.
Also re: the birthday problem, I pulled the same thing at a bar where I was a regular years ago. The difference being I explained the math and all that was on the line was a round of drinks.
Very happy to see you did the right and proper thing and meowed back to Chicken.
I mean it's just rude to ignore someone who's talking to you.
I may have made a sound akin to a tea kettle when Chicken came on screen. It was also the perfect timing after the Titanic story.

Alright! A new We’re In Hell video. I was getting worried I might not be in hell anymore.
Yes hell us back. well get to see a certain adventurer crew
I certainly wasn't.
That would worry me as well
Glad we're still in hell
A-men brutthrrrr
As a fan of ARGs I really like the idea of an alternate reality reality show. Shooting a show in a strange word with its own rules that the audience gets to figure out without making the difference from our world spoonfeedingly explicit... If this was intentional it would have been a stroke of pure genius. Maybe the next evolution of reality TV after thematic shows in the "real" world, is the typical reality shows in thematic worlds.
Yeah, like a mix between reality show and mockumentary.
You might enjoy Gamechanger, it's a collegehumor gameshow where the rules are different each episode, it's not exactly like what you described here but you might like that aspect :)
This sounds like something Nathan Fielder would make.
Have you heard of Welcome to Nightvale? It's a podcast that's just like that
Yes! Like a Swamp People type show but it takes place in a Twin Peaks type place.
There is something there.
I've never understood people calling flat out cheating "hustling" I've always understood hustling to be acting like YOU are the easy mark and enticing someone into betting with you with the premise that you are not good at whatever challenge it is, but it turns out you're a professional at it.
No cheating, just misleading their perception of you.
Like a kid who's played pool for most of their life playing poorly on purpose until their "dad" or whoever makes a bet, then suddenly they play like a tournament player.
Not like having remote controlled pool balls or something dumb
Same!
Like the Uncle Phil thing, where he goes up against the pool guys, gets owned, then asks for double or nothing, and then takes it seriously.
now im just thinking about that card cheating scene in Casino. that dude hustled so hard, he had his dominant hand broken by a hammer
I choose to fully believe that alex has no idea the show is staged, it makes this video so much more fun
I'm wondering if "Alex" isn't some sort of British royalty who is just having his little fantasies indulged by the Beeb. It did honestly seem like he was too oblivious to realize what's going on.
i mean a lot of shows in the UK *are* just random rich people hiring a crew to film them doing whatever (usually about travelling around and experiencing culture or people), posed as a chill relaxed show you'd watch with your parents cuz its entertaining enough.
I really feel like the production just set things up and ballbusted the businesses into playing along
They knew they HAD to hit Vegas, but they also knew there was not a single mfer in any casino who would even jokingly want to go on here
As a texan, what can I say? We enjoy a good bet, be it a high-stakes game of poker, a risky spin of a roulette wheel, or even an objectively dangerous flip of the coin. Please use this knowledge wisely, I lost my grandmother to a life-or-death pull on a slot machine and I don't want to see that happen to anybody else
T-texas b-b-bet...
*gunshot*
Also as a Texan, I don't know about our penchant for betting, but I do know about our love of cobb salad.
Can I buy Golden Boy peanuts here?
Call it
I bet you your self-worth and mental health that I can drink a gallon of orange juice in 30 minutes
Re: people being weirdly calm and amused about being scammed, I can just say that I was recently scammed and it was mildly traumatizing, shook my trust and like... reality, even... though granted, it was much more extended and intimate than some guy walking up to me and making a video game NPC-esque wager.
Can you explain roughly what happened? Spreading scam awareness is the best way to fight back! Well, apart from purging the scammer's entire bloodline, but the po-po get stroppy about that sort of thing.
Only if it's not too unpleasant for you of course. In any event, don't be too hard on yourself, onward and upward! :)

I got ripped off when my landlord decided to play unit shuffle a week before my move in date and notified me that the unit I had signed for was "delayed under construction" and I was put in a more expensive unit with fewer amenities. It burns knowing that I shouldn't have trusted him but I just wanted to believe that no one was trying to rip me off. It's pathetic the depths those with leverage will sink to just to get everything they can out of you. I was an idiot for ever trusting him and I'm doing what I can now to take action, but being a rube is the worst feeling in the world.
@@mrRPGamersdamn man that sucks, I’m sorry. Have you looked into your legal options? Cuz depending on your local ordinances, you may have had your tenants rights violated and there may be some form of recourse/recompense.
You notice that none of the conmen he's interviewing are like "And then I bet them that I could throw a watermelon onto that roof!!" That stuff only seems to come from him and the other weird conman fanboy. The thing about just about every "con" he pulls in this is that no one would ever take any of these bets if there were any sort of enforcable stakes anyway because they are so obviously cons. If someone came up to you and was like "I bet you a car that I can throw this walnut over that wall." They can probably do it. They wouldn't have said something so weird and specific if they couldn't. This sort of thing was really pretty common in bad cartoons and tv shows in the 90s, enough that my friend and I used to have a name for it, "Fairy logic", basically the sort of trick that might work to force a leprechaun to grant you wishes, but would never actually work on a real person.
I call it The Room logic. Or objectivism.
So well said!!
It works better when they're drunk.
Any logical person who can do math is going to turn down most if not all bets. So why is problem gambling on the rise as it's deregulated in the US & UK? A lot of people are making a lot of bets. Not to say that these childish pranks would convince many people. But that betting culture is being bet on by betting companies.
Honestly if it was like 5 bucks i might do it just to see if they could but if it's worth more i would just leave
The fact that he's pretending that there's not a huge problem gambling sector in England and its been getting worse since deregulation in the 90s is bizarre. The people I work with are constantly doing low stakes gambling and its so weird to me.
Yeah it's an awful problem all across the UK, and the fact that the government basically lets gambling companies do whatever shady shit they want as long as they slap those yellow signs in their windows is despicable, I've known so many people who've lost life-changing amounts of money, and it was never to the small time con artists this guy seems to think are really cool 🙄
The absolute tidal wave of gambling ads I've seen and heard in the last few years in the US is terrifying. Looks like we're going your way

Seems LARPING as _a Titanic_ is dangerously common this decade
No person with breasts would be hustled by the idea of taking a waistcoat off underneath a jacket. My dude. We wear bras. wtf do you think we do right when we get through the front door?
I have a confession to make . . . as a woman I never learned how to take my bra off under my clothes and usually have to take my shirt off, the bra off, and then put the shirt back on. I’m a failure. 😞
I would only take my bra off to change into a fresh one at home. Going braless only works for me when I'm horizontal
@@turner15it's actually really simple, depending on what kind of sleeves you're wearing. Unhook the back of the bra, then reach up one sleeve, grab the bra shoulder strap, and pull it out. Do the same with the other sleeve and strap, then either pull the whole bra through the sleeve or pull it out of the neck of your shirt. (Can you tell I don't wear long sleeves? 😂)
@@melanieg.9092oof. About the only time a bra is really necessary for me is when I'm jogging; otherwise it's just for modesty norms.
Damn us men really do have it easy (and I'm not being facicious), no bras, no period and all that comes with it, no painful births-if you decide on that-no menopause, very little harassment compared to women. I dunno, it's not fair. I salute you all 👍😂
The dog thing isn’t some trick or con, it’s just owning a retriever. We had one that would literally bring back rocks thrown in the water (much to the annoyance of my grandpa who kept throwing the rocks back in the lake every night only to find the exact same ones cluttering up his lawn the next day). No training, just pure paranoid hardwired instinct.
The cat break after the Titanic story was perfect. Really gave it time to sink in.
Dammit
This show just takes place in a different version of the world of Yu-Gi-Oh. Everyone is unreasonably invested in this one niche passtime, and no one is unpleasant when they lose at said passtime.
No one is unpleasant when they lose? Did you even watch yu gi oh?
The Titanic Thompson story, the real one, also highlights the key difference between Alex's bets and Thompson's.
Thompson was already winning.
He already had the other guy at a disadvantage, so more willing to take a bullshit bet.
Bull Tit Thom was a liar making up stories about himself In real life if Tit Thom pulled off so of his stunts he would get the sh.. beaten outta him. Never believe the stories of a delusional liar
I'm all on board with the "No Cobb salad at pride". Cobb salads are perverse.

As a Texan, honestly, a Texan might shoot you for cutting them off in traffic. No way a Texan businessman is letting Alex get away with that walnut.
this show is fake as he..
I'm gonna go ahead and say that the episode would have been a lot better if he had just started robbing people at gunpoint.
”Robbing America”
And then he can say the con was that he wouldn't have actually shot them if they refused
As a Texan, i can say with confidence that without cameras rolling he would have been shot at least 57 times
He's a conman, not a school
He's a middle aged white man, he's fine.

@Antonio-Gransci or Florida, as a Floridian Florida is nuts. I’ve had many of my liberal and leftists friends buy guns recently because of the new conceal carry law because they’re terrified of not being armed knowing that everyone else is. I’m planning to buy one too. At the end of the day that’s the environment we are stuck in we are only fucking ourselves over by not also having them. I won’t carry because it’s not practical to me sounds uncomfortable and like a way to accidently shoot yourself but idk man shits rough out here. Florida is one of the highest states for road rage incidents and most deadly because so many people are strapped in their cars you never know who’s packing or not.

There's a difference between the Edge Lord in my head and the real me that has to exist in society.

you called a charity litigious and they sued? My word, what a world.
They didn’t sue, just threatened to sue. And if you watch the video you’ll see that he badmouthed them in other ways that I’d guess they also included in their letter
"The joke is on you, I spent 3 months playing ping pong with a coke bottle"
Lead Filled Walnut is the name of my indie folk-metal band.
I had a math professor who visited a high school to do silly math stuff for them. He did the birthday problem, and of course it worked but it backfired massively. The crowd accused him of tricking them by looking up their names and birthdays, and they all started booing and yelling at him.
Ahh, high school students 😂

One time, at a pizza place with 3 friends, as a misguided attempt to placate the busy restaurant goers who had all been waiting for like. 20-30+ mins like us. One of the waiters took it upon himself to go around to every table and do card magic tricks. His attempts were not met with enthusiasm. It’s remarkable that this show managed to recreate the sensation I felt as that dude came back to our table a second time after receiving a frosty reception in round 1.
The worst thing from this entire show is him calling that glass of beer a goblet, and commenting on its size when he's literally from a country that orders beer by the pint
On the dog trick with the card- my friend used to do photography and one of the things she would do is keep a piece of dog jerky in her pocket. Before taking a picture she'd rub the treat and when she wanted the dog to look in a certain direction she'd snap her finger and the dog could smell it.
It's still weird he did it in this show but the smell can transfer to cards without actual pate on it
As a kid who caught some episodes of "The real hustle", they were just a PSA to keep an eye on your things and be paranoid in crowds.
i love watching guys larp a guy they think is super cool who both isn't actually cool and also put himself in actual danger, as opposed to the larper, who has to embody the cooler guy by means of elaborate roleplay scenarios
One thing I noticed visiting my family in the UK is that there are towns that have one fish 'n chip shop, but 3 or 4 betting shops. I think he might have been projecting.
12:58 As a person with boobs who has worn a bra for nearly 2 decades, I'd never take this bet. Because I can take my bra off without taking my shirt off. Nice try, bro.
And you can tell she has figured that out, too, as he says it.
The comparison is so outlandish though, maybe that’s just because I’m used to taking off my bra easily
The dog trainer has a very similar expression to the shop assistant--like they want to fight but are holding themselves back.
As a texan, we all honor texas bets. Lost my mother in a texas bet... bless her soul 😔💔

This shoulda been animated like Total Drama was.
I'd like to imagine that his only exposure to American culture is 30s Hollywood gangster movies and everyone around him just goes along with the fantasy because they think it's funny. He reminds me of Michel from Breathless
I had my phase of being kinda obsessed with magic as a kid, and I still like a good magic trick.
So, finding out that this was about a failed magician, and not hustle in the sort of alpha male online variety was so lovely.
And funnily, I had a dog that would dive for rocks as a kid as well. He just started doing it on his own, so we started throwing out rocks for him to dive after.
I never scammed any one with it, though :D But, watching him fail at that bet was glorious, probably my favourite part :D
These are Mr. Beast's tricks: Just throw money at it until nobody disagrees when you claim the win!
Oh man i remember watching the original English version of the this when I was young. It was... Awful in hindsight but 12 year old me was enthralled and believed it all
As an American, I say that, given our society’s litigious reputation, I’m leaning towards the victims’ positive reactions to being scammed being staged. Or maybe they didn’t want to look bad while the cameras were rolling.
It's 100% staged or he'd have caught multiple ass beatings and had at least one gun pulled on him.
@@fluffskunk You know, like Titanic Thompson.

11 year olds carrying rifles is definitely more Texas than gambling.
It's been years since I've seen it, but I was just thinking about The Real Hustle the other day. It was prime BBC3 trash for the UK. Throughout the show, the three hosts and the narrator routinely remind the audience that The Real Hustle is to show the public how tricks are done so that they don't fall for the same tricks. I remember thinking this show is more likely showing people how *to* commit crimes rather than how to avoid being a crime victim.
My personal favourite/least favourite scam on The Real Hustle is when they got a bunch of actors, got them to strip to their underwear, put their belongings in one room, get them to go to another room and do a serene dance, leave them and just steal the actor's stuff. The actors eventually realize something is up but for a few minutes they're just dancing about in their underwear. Hoping to get a gig. Poor guys.
The Real Hustle is by far a better show. It actually does specifically mention that while you are more likely to be robbed there are other crimes you should be aware of. It focused on various aspects of theft that happen daily that we don't focus on "Change Raising" or exploiting the British car sales reporting system in order to sell the same car (that you don't own) multiple times, or "Card Skimming ATMs" and often times using sleight of hand to cheat in front of real professionals with hidden cameras so they don't get caught. They also demonstrated ways to shoplift and how people are so preconditioned to accept authority (in the UK) that simply wearing a fluorescent yellow coat and asking for money to remove a clamp or get rid of a "parking ticket" will work on various people. They even succeeded in getting a major UK company to deposit their week's takings (all the money the shop made) in their suitcase, by standing outside a bank dressed as a private G4S guard with a lockbox and putting a cardboard sign over the bank's deposit box saying "out of order, leave money with guard" (which is a scam Frank Abagnale CLAIMS to have pulled over but like almost all of his claimed scams CAN'T PROVE he ever actually did)
They did get in trouble in the UK and were taken to Court for "faking" an episode because the rules regarding UK reality TV or documentary are very strict. They didn't "fake" the trick, they got real marks in, however the marks didn't agree to have their footage broadcast, meaning faces would need to be blurred and voices distorted which would ruin the long segment, they re-filmed it with actors copying the result, which got them into trouble.
TRH also made use of other people, Alex was often just a convincing actor in scam or a subtle pick pocket. They made use of Paul Wilson who was a security manager at a Vegas casino and did the vast majority of the real world sleight of hand and card tricks, only backing Alex up for sales patter or sometimes when a "3rd party" was needed to pull of the scam (like the "valuable dog scam") and Jessica Clement (a pornstar from the UK) who was selected originally because they needed someone to do the "crying lady begs for money or to distract people" type moments in scams, but also actually turned out to be a dab hand at pick pocketing and learned really quickly how to take much larger roles in scams.
It's funny that you say that it would inspire people to try the exact same things, I'll be honest I did try one or two things from the show and they did work... Guess more people should have watched then it wouldn't have worked lol 🤣
Sounds like Nathan for you if Nathan wasn’t a demon sent to earth to guide us to miranda.
Being not a con Man, it's super weird the number of people who just invite strangers to their House. I grew up in a bad town, so it's always jackets and bags at the door, stay in the one spot in the one room unless you're guided elsewhere. Strangers have literally handed me their loaded guns just to show them off. Americans (and possibly others countries?) are weirdly trusting
I wouldn't hand you my gun, but as an American human, I am fairly confident around other humans and strangers because most people simply aren't prepared to harm or kill me in lile 99% of America. Two guns for every person in this country, six for me and professional training. I can afford to be trusting because I wouldn't invite anyone that would be a threat I can't handle.
Besides, its just being polite to guests. Where would we be without some civility?
Most of us don’t let strangers in our homes imo I guess it depends on what part of the US but I’m from Florida and we certainly didn’t do that. The most mg family would do is talk to the solicitor on the front porch.
Yeah, I'm from the rural US and I've never experienced folks being big on strangers further than the entry of the home. And moving to a city, it's talking on the doorstep or not at all. I'm not even from a dangerous area, people just are not that hospitable even without there being a high degree of mistrust. I've heard other areas of the country are different so maybe somewhere there's less concern about it. And perhaps historically there was less worry.
Seeing you meow back to your cat was wonderful, as i do it too
This show feels like something I'd hear about in DnD. Like, roll a weighted die to win every persuasion roll.
The Real Hustle started off brilliantly as a spinoff/inspired by "Hustle" which was a great fun TV drama - worth a watch in itself.
I always find the kind of bets here funny because clearly the only reason someone would make that bet is if they already know that they can do the trick lol
"adds injury to injury" has me cracking up lol
Alex: America loves bets! Just a bunch of goofy guys who love being conned!
Real hustler: I've been stabbed and shot at several times and everybody tries to fight me
Alex: Soooo silly. Soooo goofy. Just a bunch of whimsical, silly guys lumbering around and losing bets
Literally involuntarily went "ughhh yes" upon seeing the new upload. Your stuff is always the best!!

I adore that chicken just absorbs into the black of your shirt
Betting is apparently even crazier and less regulated in the U.K. than here in the U.S. where you can apparently make official wagers on pretty much anything. There was this controversy over if a guy on a low tier Football team would eat a pie or not during a match not too long ago.
I had someone call me from the IRS saying i owed money or id go to jail. After paying my tax with $5000 worth of google play cards the IRS officer told me he was actually a scammer from India. 😱
Oh how we laughed at his hijinks. ❤❤
Just like the time I got a text from the secretary of state saying I needed to put all of my personal information into a website online so they wouldn't suspend my driver's license.

I think that was where I learned that a high-vis vest and a hard hat will get you anywhere.
The only useful thing I learned from the show
5:20 “Well this is texas” is gonna be my cathphrase for when i change my mind now.
Can confirm the armed robbery trick works every time
Lmao as a Texan I’m pretty sure gambling is illegal in the whole state, so him saying that should really imply he doesn’t like to bet
The longer this show goes on the longer this seems like some weird occult ritual.
UPDATE ITS WORSE THAN A DUMBASS DOING ON OCCULT RITUAL TO SUMMON A TULPA LIKE I SUSPECTED!
THIS IS A BOTTOM USING TAXPAYER DOLLARS TO FULLFILL HIS BDSM KINK! DX
This is bizarre. I've only traveled to the UK twice (I'm from west coast US), but from what I've experienced, the UK has a WAY more pervasive gambling culture than America. In the US, we even have states where all gambling is outlawed, even the state lottery. Whereas the UK seems to have bookies on every other block. I just find it odd that the host keeps positing the US as a sort of betting and gambling mecca
In the U.K, the poorer the area, the more betting shops there are.
That thing where you realise your actions might have consequences. 😮😮😮
Great video, as usual. The photography looks amazing; whatever upgrades you've done are working. Thanks for making great essays, and I hope your views continue to grow, and you prevail against intimidation.
i genuinely loved this and thought it was absolutely hilarious. i love all of your videos but this lighter/sillier approach was wonderful.
so... why not palm the stone and swap it for the one in the dog's mouth? Like, it's just the same trick again, but for some reason it doesn't work? Weird thing to stage.
If you do another one of these reality show deep dives, I recommend “married at first sight.” The title says it all, it’s insane.
So hype for this one Sam! Glad you’re posting again
After Downtown Abbey, I think this is the 2nd most British show to exist
What I love about the wallnut bet is it's almost a direct quote from Damon Runyon (A great US author, read him if you don't know him) Someday, a guy will bet you he can throw a peanut 100 yards. The only bet you should make, is if he filled it with lead or cement.
As someone who was conned in NYC while briefly visiting to drop someone off at the airport, there is definitely something about that place and scammers.
I'm installing Raid Shadow Legends to uninstall it at this moment!
Glad you are back at it making videos.
I once rescued a goblin form some hobgoblins by giving them some leaded dice and watched them kill each other over the results of a game of bones. One rolled a 20!
Before I leave the house I always make sure I got my phone, keys, wallet, lead-filled walnut, patee, and coin with a hole.
I liked this concept way better when it was Brian Brushwood's "Scam School" show. All bar-bet type "cons", for a buck or a fiver or a beer or whatever, and after the initial execution, Brushwood showed the marks how to do it themselves. All in good fun and has that slight educational tinge you mentioned.
I believe this was first
@@jerbear7952 Scam School started airing in april 2008; hustling america was 2013
The weird thing to me is that it actually could of been an interesting show if they just traveled around talking abt famous con-men, did some re-enactment cons form said men with low stakes to surprise the locals just like a magic trick would.
I love your content and adore the music you include. I replay your credits often.
Cat! Cat. Cat cat cat.
