When he was told to rob a bank i was like "bro just let them leak the video at this point, its just you doing the stuff" but oooh that twist mannn
MY. EXACT. THOUGHTS. then they leaked it anyway 😂
Ikr. Entire time I was like just let them be, it is getting out of hand and dangerous.
But it would be good if he surrendered at the beginning considering he robbed bank and killed someone.
Yeah but how would the footage prove that he was watching what he was watching?? He could've denied it and dismissed it as fake
Slick M that’s what i was wondering
@@monet.t.t he probably had more cp on his computer. That's why his mother said that his sister saw it. They downloaded it after they got the access to his computer. I mean how would they know that he's a pedo if they didn't see it themselves? They had proof, and he knew it.
Fun fact (or not so fun fact): The writers have confirmed that Kenny is 19 which means he will he tried as an adult for his crimes. The casting of a such an innocent and baby faced actor was a good call
The exact opposite of a 15/16 year old looking like he's 18+ really flips the way you think about things, no?
Oh my gosh! I thought he was high school age, which makes it creepier!
ajnr6 he’s trying to point out the fallibility of humans and the very real psychological disorder; paraphilia/pedophilia. Perhaps if it wasn’t so egregiously taboo this young kid could have sought help. There ARE effective treatments for paraphilia.
But even with HIPPA laws people are afraid of the exposure even with a PSYCHIATRIST
Fact: Beagles Are Best i don’t care if there are effective treatments. the dude said “we don’t know what he actually beat off to: was it some preteens skinny dipping or hardcore child rape”. the fact that he even thought of that sentence is disgusting
@@ajnr6876 while they are both gross and should not be seen as in any way acceptable, there is a massive different between those two types of video
“They’re saying it’s kids Kenny! Kids!”
The twist thooo
For real shit's so fucked up, dude is just standing there not sure what's worse if it's him watching child porn, robbing a bank or killing a man
You guys remember that part? "How old were they...? Yeah me too." I was legit sweating.
@@dinorahmorales7664 Bro I remember hearing that part and thinking "nah Kenny wasn't doing that!" It was only until the "KIDS KENNY! KIDS!" that I fully understood what was happening. The way she says it is actually haunting.
@@Djitterbug nah its very obvious that he was
@@belkYT ok 🤓
"Black Mirror" has had a lot of insane twist-endings, but "Shut Up and Dance" threw me for such a loop that I had to sit there for a good 5 minutes thinking about it.
White Bear also
@@Chan-me5wg - Of course.
And I don't get it even after thinking about it so I watch these damn videos
@@bojackbojackbojack: Upgrade had one of those kind of endings, that whole movie absolutely could literally have just been a Black Mirror episode.
@@phantomkitten73- So, you recommend "Upgrade", huh? Never heard of it. I might check it out.
The acting in this episode was phenomenal
Just like all the other episodes on bm
yes!
@@corbinostergaard3767 Except the stupid ass Ashley Too episode
Rutvin nah y’all shit on it bc if Miley Cyrus
OMG thats the first thing I thought. Superb!!!!!!
When he said “how young were they?” my stomach turned
Maria Romero when did he say that
PATRICKDONNELLY when he was about to fight off that guy
I'm surprised you instantly believed him. I didn't realize his accusation of Kenny was accurate until the phone call at the end, and even after that I feel pretty skeptical. Just a video of him doesn't prove anything, and if he was so paranoid as to buy a lock for his door and argue with his sister then I doubt he'd have the stuff on his harddrive like Hector did. That would leave the only evidence of his crimes being search history which is shaky at best. That's not really a reason for Kenny to be so terrified at the hackers. It's shown over and over again that the video is what Kenny is so afraid of, not what he was watching or what was on his computer. The logical conclusion would be that evidence was planted on his computer remotely to make things even worse for him in the end. After all he had to be an idiot in 1 of 2 ways and all evidence seems to point to him being an idiot for not just calling the police immediately rather than being an idiot for not covering his tracks.
KingBranden I didn’t immediately think he was a pedo but I took in consideration that he never admitted to wanking on camera whenever he was asked what exactly he did, he always just said “I was just looking at some pictures” and started crying and when the man asked him “how young were they” I assumed he was looking at child pornography and to raise my suspicion he didn’t deny it but I never thought of them applying the pictures on to the computer
KingBranden I'm gonna be honest, I instantly believed him, just because the scene at the start when he gives the little girl her toy back was unsettling to me and the fact he didn't just go to the police for just masturbation, I studied media so I can't help but analyse everything
the hackers made him do all that so he would do more time in prison, you don't get much just for watching CP but he did rub a bank at gunpoint and killed a dude ina forest then tried to run away, I think that was their goal
This was the first time I’ve heard this theory and WOW.. I like the way u think
Absolutely. Made me happy knowing he wouldn't be able to just get a slap on the wrist.
That makes sense
👍
This is also how more sinister groups recruit their MK Ultra cells.
I noticed Kenny’s story changed when asked “What they get you for?”. Went from “recorded me doing it” to “I was only looking at a couple of photos”. That’s when i knew something was off.
yupppp
Well it's like *the end of the f***ing world* for him.
Ha see what you did there
?
Why did you have to do this
*slow clap*
I was looking for a comment like this 😂😂
The fella who played Kenny was phenomenal.
BdaMonkey Watch The End of the F**king world.
He was the main character and was such a good show.
GalaxyGoop I'll give that a go. I've got it on my watch list :-)
BdaMonkey who says “fella”?
Jason Maza Obvious question is obvious.
His name is alex lawther
9:27 when Kenny opens his wallet, the condoms are placed directly on top of the photo he carries. The photo includes two children smiling, yet again making the association to sexuality through condoms.
Great find
That wasn't Kenny's wallet, it was Hector's.
@@sanderbarbo2070 I think it's a double meaning. The second one being that Hector puts sex above his children and family
It was Hector's wallet -_-
@@sanderbarbo2070 that doesnt take away from the symbolism.
pedophile is pedophile. it doesn't come in a specific age group.
Of course but if the main actor was a 40 year old grumpy man the result wouldn't be as surprising and it wouldn't be such a plot twist
@Julia Li H o w
Are you saying 10 year olds liking other 10 year olds are pedophiles?
@@hellodumplings8564 liking each other and sharing pics are totally different
@@Ccubed92 who said anything about sharing pics? I think I know what you’re going for but that ain’t the point here, mate.
The fact that he robbed a bank and killed a man just to keep his secret
He absolutely didn't want to, he did it because he was panicking and being pressured at the same time by Henry.
The killing a man thing was pure survival, regardless of keeping a secret or not.
Alexandra yeah liek I mean when u look at it like in a jury he would Probly get a sentence.But it’s the fear and pressure that got to him so technically he’s innocent🥶
Child pornography man. *CHILD PORNOGRAPHY*
Peter Burke you missed so much from the ending. Your interpretation can’t be true because the only messages kenny got from the hackers was the „fight until death“ and after that the troll face. It’s pretty obvious that kenny killed that guy.
@@kay987 it wasn't child pornography
It's so scary when you watch it a second times and he gives back the toy to the child...
I knowe
oh god...didnt realise that and it gave me chills...
and when he’s looking at the kids menu at his workplace....
Ugh this is all kinds of No
nowolves facts
Was I the only one that cracked up when Kenny was like "GIVE ME MONEY"
I COULDNT STOP LAUGHING
THANK YOUUUUU
The pissing that followed it too is hilarious...
BRUUUH YEEES HAHAHAH
HAHQWJSJSJSJSJS SAME
"wasn't actually hurting anyone" i disagree, consumption of child pornography is also harmful as it creates a demand for such horrid content. perhaps he didnt create it himself but his acts are still harmful
If he paid for it, he increased demand. If he didn't, en consumed something that the creators didn't intend to end up on the internet. Child rapists and people who are part of pedo networks make money from it.
I think he meant it in a way that instead of being criminalized he should be getting help before he physically does something to hurt someone
I used to watch gore videos like ogrish that has beheadings, animal crushings, violent accidents, lynchings, etc... Not that I'm into any of that stuff, but to test tolerance on extreme stuff. Tbh, I feel bad with the babies getting beat up by their parents bit to the point that I wanna kill said parents.
I'm assuming that it must be the same for some of those who watches pedo stuff. Oh s**t, should I go to jail too?
@@mstr293 yes you should
actually hurting a child is one thing, consumption of it say what you will, but even during that there's still the chance to stop and get help.
also really like the parallel between Kenny's phone battery and his mental tiredness with the whole ordeal, I think by the end He's at 4% or something like that
I never thought about that, nice spot!
WWWallace71 Oh that's so cool!!!!!
WWWallace71 thats an awesome observation, did u discover it your self??
Yeah I did when I first saw it, no idea if it's unintentional or not though
actually every character has their battery at 5% or so
i can never see the troll face the same again
melanie cobos it literally scares me now!!! 😂
The troll face at the end makes me cringe, and not in a good way
Luna Pyrope thank you! Every time I saw it, I chuckled
Luna Pyrope right I was laughing
EVERYTIME I SEE THE TROLL FACE I GET SCARED BRUH 💀💀
Something horrifying but interesting is in the background of the scene where he meets the little girl In the restaurant, the song ‘That’s How I Like It’ is played.
Sir bronn of the blackmirror
This was one of the most biggest mindfucks
Not only was this terrifying but the plot twist was FUCKING MENTAL
This is hands down one of my favourites
same. It was brilliant how they make u feel sorry for him throughout the whole episode up until then end when you find out what he did. and then you realize how earlier in the episode how creepy some of his actions were!!
What twist?
Sarah 808 but i still feel sorry for him even at the end
TheHitmanMaster it is indeed one of my favorites. However it was so tiring to watch it, I mean I felt tired - my mind was drained. I watched the next episode like a month after watching this one.
so it was like 4Chan the movie, they were trolling him hard but in the end fucked him over.
This episode disturbed me more than it should have.
ChargedMerc While I was watching it the ending screwed me up
Spencer Ashcroft the ending really fucked me up
If you were disturbed, that just means you were paying attention. The writers have made you witness to a young and somewhat vulnerable character being tortured and manipulated; pulling out all the stops to make the audience sympathise with them - and reveal to the audience just before the end that they've been rooting for a character who gets sexual gratification from child pornography. The writers juxtaposed that character with another - caught by the same tormentors - who had done something bad, but it was far less morally heinous and far more likely to be similar to things a lot of people have done or considered doing.
People tend to use labels and stereotypes to "otherise" those who have done wrong, and what this episode does is rip down that safety curtain and it forces the audience to see the protagonists as human beings, no matter what they might have done. I'd be more worried if someone didn't find it disturbing.
ChargedMerc same.
It was my favorite episode
the twist hurt even more than someone who just watches black mirror sympathising with kenny, because i love alex lawther.
carbonatedspagetti SAME
Something else to think about: Kenny is usually nervous and stutters a lot, except when he is talking to the little girl (and people he is close with, like his family)
I get what you mean but pretty much every time he was nervous it was after interacting with strangers while being dox'd by another stranger
A bit of a reach. We didn't really see him interact with strangers prior to being threatened, so we don't know if he's actually always like that or if he was actually like like because of his anxiety pertaining to being doxxed.
it was probably a weird fetish. we all get one Over-time, I'm not saying it's right, but over time they fade away like a Phase we had in our lives. it's like when you break a taboo, all teens break rules. 🤔 it's not abnormal, but I can't say it's right.
@@God-T Kenny was 19 years old. He knew better. It's just not a "phase."
@@God-T Since when do fetishes just "fade away"?? Weird comment
The young male actor did a really great job. When he needed to look petrified and panicked, he did. I think I've seen this episode at least twice.
itsme christy he was also in the end of the ducking world he was a good actor
alex is a phenomenal actor, he deserves an award.
geez kiera what’s his ful name?
@@luv3bud auto correct? Same here I ducking hate it
Alex Lawther gives me life
The analysis was good up until you said, he wasn’t hurting anybody. Consumption of the material is what fuels its creation.
No, not in this case. You don't even need to pay for stuff like that and also they would upload the pictures anyways.
I think he meant physically he didn't hurt anyone but yes, he was hurting children indirectly by consuming the videos
@@CloudburstSapphire How is it hurting them? The people upload the pictures regardless if anyone looks at them. Of course there are services where you can specifically buy it, but even the clear net is flooded with this stuff and is scarily easy to access.
@@pafu015 oh yeah that's true, I think if anything having them up at all hurts the children in said content I feel like
and the content being easily accessed is shit too because that might mean that not enough people are reporting it
that's what I feel like though
@@CloudburstSapphire Even if you report it there is not really the executive power to take the websites down. At these days people are really skilled with programming and can't get tracked down.
everything was good until you said “it wasn’t hurting anyone”. i don’t think you understand what kind of damage child pornography can do
"non binary lesbian" hahaha.
@@xord1946!???
He meant viewing it
@@potato_nyin_6448 that’s still wrong damaging and harmful...
@@xord1946 Is that a "Caitlyn Jenner" thing?
"Not doing any harm"... are you high? Is it raining in your house?
Technically speaking, Kenny didn't just by consumption. You watching someone getting robbed is not you robbing someone, morally or legally. Is it a terrible thing to do? Absolutely.
SethMacMillan watching pics is traffic for that website. It helps the site.
@@DmanDice Traffic is more determined by the volume of users, not the actions of a specific user. Activity may determine which content is successful on the platform, but that's on the platform only. Especially, if they host such content. It's unlikely that would help with it being a viable advertiser.
Its not just traffic. Its the idea that' theres a market for it. The kid looks so young and innocent in this episode and he most likely never actually acted upon his urges, But sites like that help people like him escalade. First pics, then vids, then wondering about opportunities in real life. I hope u get my point or we can just respectfully agree to disagree.
@@DmanDice That argument is a bit similar to the notion of marijuana being a gateway drug, I've yet to read any psychological research finding cases where exploring urges then leads to a worsening of actions. That only seems to be the case if the person has previously grown an addiction to an activity/substance, in as far as my studies have taken me.
Unfortunately, there will be a market for it no matter what's done. But, such a market doesn't have much power or traction for obvious reasons and that's the best part. Not to say we should be complacent with it happening, I'm just meaning to say that Kenny's exploration of it doesn't necessarily mean it's gaining any of the previously mentioned. I also can't just say he wouldn't take any actions or condemn him being arrested, it may be for the best.
Kenny was perfectly cast.
I really respect the actor! It must take guts to play someone like that, because he'll always be associated with it. He did a really good job
think his name should be thrown out there: Alex Lawther, absolutley brilliant up-and-comer
he's in a newly released show on netflix, end of the f**king world! he's perfect in it, what an amazing actor
omg i was just gonna comment that, love that guy he killed it in black mirror and the end of the fking world!
This episode made me look into him he’s a rlly good actor I hope he appears in more stuff
This comment section could be a Black Mirror episode.
Shhhhh don't give them ideas
How so?
Lmaooo truuu. Spending way longer in the comments than the video is long. Lol
Black Mirror: Shut up And Comment
Chandra Wagner for real, this comment section is friggin bizarre! I get that cp is a sensitive subject but there’s no need to lose all logic cuz you’re too in your feelings to have a debate.
One great detail that I noticed, was that in the beggining of the episode when Kenny asks his sister why his computer is frozen, she says she was trying to put on a "film thing", and he gets shocked for a few seconds, foreshadowing what he was really watching on his computer.
I mean, that doesn't really foreshadow much. At that point, you could assume he was looking at normal porn and didn't want anyone to know. I know what happens at the end of the episode though, just saying.
i disagree with the concept that kenny was doing no actual damage through simply viewing the material. as a consumer, he’s feeding into the success of these sick distributors, and is therefore complicit. he is perpetuating the cycle of consumption and demand, and is actively supporting the exploitation of the children in the videos.
Bro I see this argument over and over and over and over and its just so bland and boring to me.. Let me ask you this, what do you think drives demand up more? Some socially inept, idiotic teen making a stupid mistake, or a society that gives him nowhere to go to deal with these tendancies? Maybe if we weren't so quick to throw these people into the deepest pits of hell and recognised that one does not choose to be this way. Even if Kenny wanted to seek help, we wouldn't let him, we'd be too busy trying to punish him for something has hasn't done(as in actually being a sexual abuser) or for tendancies he did not choose. It just goes to show that people care more about punishment instead of actually fixing the problem.
@@suckmyduck7029 I agree, even tho I understand why so many people think he deserved it. I just think many don’t understand that these people weren’t born evil, but became this way. It’s hard because crimes on innocent people are hard to forgive and children are the definition of innocence. It's hard to think about this rationally, but looking at this rationally these people need psychological help. Imprisoning them for life isn’t really the solution.
Someone close to me was sexually abused and the pain of it is deep and traumatizing, so I can understand the people wanting them to be punished, but you can’t let your emotions get in the way of treating these people.
I just hope the person who did this to my family member will regret it for the rest of his life and will become a mental healthy and good person.
@@suckmyduck7029 you've got the right idea there and it's rare to see.
He just needed therapy his mom was doing unnecessary drama because he knew what he did was wrong
@@suckmyduck7029 sounds like youre a kid fiddler
You forgot to add, when Kenny speaks to the kid at the start the song “that’s the way I like it” starts playing
Jeff f oh my ghhh I didn’t pick up on that, that’s so disturbing
omg I'm about to throw up
This show is fucking ridiculously clever
Jesus, stop just stop! Too much. I cant even with this episode.
ohfuck
This episode is like anxiety personified
Cambria Weeden yeah. The bank scene tho
GIMMEMUHNEY.. INEEDALOOOT *proceed to piss himself*
true, I have anxiety and this episode has really shaken me
yeah, except you don't have to have done something wrong to have anxiety. he's feeling guilt
you should watch "beau is afraid"
To me the sign of a good twist is that is answers questions you didn't have
It explains why he was so against his sister using his laptop, and subsequently put a lock on his door.(he was afraid that she would go on his search history)
It also explained by he didn't really show any interest in his boss' obvious interest in him.
And it also made the scene with the little girl which was at first really cute and sweet into something very disturbing.
I was on Kenny's side for the majority of the show. Then the last scenes happened
And I died
And yet, if we grew up as Kenny had, with his biology and environment, we’d be just as he is. There is no place for judgment. As horrible the damage child molesters inflict can be, we are all redeemable, barring conditions such as psychopathy, and even then, we all deserve compassion and love.
If someone out here touching kids, or jacking to kids, they get no love. That’s a no from me dawg
zain It's hard to empathize with those who consume CP, but your point is valid. What Kenny needed was therapy and rehabilitation. A lot of people conflate pedophilia - something you're born with and cannot change - with child abuse, a mistake that fuels a stigma that prevents any meaningful change for the better in our society. Especially considering that the majority of pedophiles are non-offenders.
@@zain4019 "if we grew up exactly like this guy and had the exact same thinking like this guy we would behave like this guy" bro that's kind of dogshit reasoning to say there's no place for judgment he consumed child pornography and also wasn't getting help he's a monster plain and simple
This is the scariest film ever made. I immediately covered my laptop camera after watching it.
You should only be scared if you're doing something you're not supposed to. Like I thought he was just fapping y'know? Nothing special. Buuuuut he was doing it with child pornography so
Blizzic you just told on yourself...look out your window
This is a Netflix show
Blizzic Sorry, nothing beats White Bear, not even this.
Lydia xxx agreed, I was like, but he was just jacking off why would the people want be so awful but when it was revealed it was child pornography I was like “oh”
I rewatched this today, found something new. After he gets computer back with the virus he downloads "Shrive Anti-Malware". Shrive being a religious word to confess your sins. :O
In that case I would say that the malware was the actual virus that gave the hacker a backdoor to Kenny's computer.
@@nathanhyde2079 the "malware remover" you mean?
@@sirnoba5507 yea I meant to say malware program
Good catch!
Nathan Hyde that’s what I thought!
"Wasn't actually hurting anybody". You might want to rephrase that
i know it's very disgusting but yes he wasn't.
and don't deserve that .
Saying he wasn't directly hurting anybody might be a better way to phrase it, I still agree with the overall point that the hackers' treatment of Kenny and those close to him is unjust and an awful way to handle the situation. The voice of Kenny's poor mother at the end (really good acting) especially made me hate the hackers.
Oh oh oh, the scene where he looks at the children’s drawings makes sense now.
I love Black Mirror, and I hate Black Mirror. Most of the episodes leave you devastated with no faith in humanity or the future. Thanks.
LyleDeYounges but it’s facts and true!
Thats whats so great about it! Good old dark British realism!
That's the point, it's a zero sum game. No happy endings.
This how I feel after every episode and I think to myself “why tf does anyone watch this depressing stuff?” Then I keep watching on and on
@@luv3bud thats what made it so fucked up, its real...😖☠
There are actually people defending cp and saying that it doesn't harm the child. Wtf kind of drugs are y'all on?
Kera yeah it absolutely does hurt the child bc they got sexually assaulted making the videos dumbasses! That’s like saying snuff films where people are murdered don’t hurt people! Drawings and shit are different in that respect in that real children aren’t directly harmed but I fear normalizing this lolicon shit more and more over time. It will endanger real children when pedophiles can more easily justify their actions in their heads and think it’s ok to give in to their desires instead of getting help.
@@FreakoftheAngels I don't think you read her comment mate
The reason these people are trying to defend it is because this character they like and want to protect and have bonded with took part in cp. In defending cp, they’re defending the character. If this character wasn’t connected to cp, they wouldn’t be defending it.
CP is a gateway to child rape.
Those are probably people who would watch it in the first place .
Ughhhh sickos
I’ve literally come to this directly after watching the episode and I’m literally just 😟
Kenny is portrayed as a decent, innocent and overall nice person. He seems to be extra sensitive, hence why he flips out so drastically over the messages and the threat of his video being leaked. The writers are genius for doing this, because it effectively makes the viewer sympathise and root for Kenny to stop his video being leaked. However, the twist comes at the final moment and we realise Kenny does deserve to be caught and exposed, so we feel instantly bad and guilty ourselves for supporting a paedophile. This episode is by far my favourite, mainly because it holds suspense, but also I love how ironic the whole concept is. The hackers use troll faces as a way of delivering the moral and want to teach the “victims” not to take their lives for granted. However, us viewers also receive our own troll faces towards the end as we realise we’ve been manipulated and tricked into supporting Kenny the whole time. It just goes to show how easily we can be manipulated as a society by the influence of technology and our unawareness of it.
Alex Lawther is such a great actor. His performance in this episode as well as The End of the F***ing World are fantastic.
Tim Tickler honestly I've fallen in love with him you should watch his other work too he's such a diverse actor
OMG I KNEW HE WAS FAMILIAR. i couldn’t place that i’d seen him in The End of the F***ing World
Tim Tickler I knew he looked like the guy from end of the f***ing world. Thank you for clarifying
I hated that series but he *was* a great actor in it
I FUCKING LOVED END OF THE F***ING WORLD. IT WAS AN ABSOLUTELY AMAZING SERIES. BUT THIS EPISODE OF BLACK MIRROR FUCKED ME UP
I know it’s completely fake but it got me kinda paranoid every time I went to the bathroom with a phone
I usually just whip my dick out and do a helicopter right in front of the camera to piss off the spies if there are any 👌🏽
As long as you dont diddle it to children i dont think any hacker will care to go after you
What's not fake is that you should cover any cameras in your home at all times, unless you're actively in a video call.
@@ramo5442 Something similar to this but actually done on innocent people is real. In South Korea, women's public washrooms are often installed with spy cams by predators. It's a huge issue there.
@@ibtunesbukhari1909 hahhaahhahahahshahahahahahahagaggahahagagagagagagaggagagaga
The scariest part of the episode to me is how smugly SADISTIC the blackmailer is indicated to be. This unseen figure clearly relishes being able to terrify, torment and control people. It's really not about "righting wrongs", because the blackmailer makes Kenny and the others commit MORE wrongs, like robbery and murder. Whatever these people originally did, there's a difference between proper delivery of justice and just playing a big cruel fixed game with the accused.
It kind of reminds me of the Sherlock Holmes story about Milverton, the "king of blackmailers". Even after encountering so many murderers and criminals, Sherlock has more disgust for Milverton than any of them. Food for thought.
I get ur point but robbing a bank and killing a fellow pedo? Seems ok
Pedophiles generally dont get a lot of time inprision for their crimes, so you can look at this being a means of assuring he gets time for all those he hurt.
@@Mia-es6bb I'm not saying child molestation isn't bad - I'm just saying that blackmailing someone into committing crimes is ALSO wrong and we can't ignore that.
Well, yeah it would be wrong if the crimes were dangerous. The bank robbery was done with a pistol that had no bullets in it, and the fight was between two pedophiles so regardless the murder would happen to either one of them who deserve to die. Notice how only the pedophiles are forced to fight each other to the death, the guy looking for a prostitute or the woman with racist emails were simply just used for advancing the eventual fight between the pedos.
Yeah I agree. The blackmailer is sort of like the secret psychopath in the episode.
When I saw the title I was expecting a Party Rock type apocalypse or something. This episode completely blew me away
Fun fact: the anti malware software that gave him the virus is called "Shrive" which means "to absolve confession" (I think it's archaic)
Jane Fan archaic means old
archaic as in biblical, too. the guy who cheated on his wife said to kenny, "the pope does it too."
throughout the episode I was thinking "man let Kenny go he was just beating his meat cut him some slack" but then oh then that T W I S T came
Zeina Elsy SAME!!
still pl out there spelling "masterbaiting" lmao
they really did foreshadow it at the beginning in the restaurant when he hands that little girl her toy. something about the inclusion of that scene kind of threw me off. that fucking ending is bonkers though
G4nst4Ch33se it's human nature
Precious Bradford because he took sooooo long to walk up to her then kneel down. Like why not shout “HEY, don’t forget your toy!”
He pissed his pants,robbed a bank and killed a man and when all is over, MeMe FaCe. That ending was so powerful
The ending as the camera zooms slowly in on his face illuminated by the lights from the police cars, the muffled siren sounds in the background as the Radiohead song swells in volume. Damn good storytelling.
Omg y'all I just remembered that at the beginning of the episode Kenny gave a toy a little girl had lost back to her. And he kind of just stared at her when she walked away. But of course watching it then you wouldn't suspect a thing and just think that Kenny's a nice guy. Also there was that girl boss lady who had an obvious interest in Kenny but Kenny never showed any interest in her. Quite a few red flags that I can't believe I missed.
EDIT: On a rewatch rn and I lowk forgot I posted this comment lmaooo -- but I just wanted to add that of course you don't need to be gay or awkward or anything to simply not reciprocate feelings/interest for someone, but the interaction between that lady and Kenny paired up with the other things he's done makes it a "red flag".
Madeline Lowe he did have an interest in her that’s why those dick coworkers were teasing him about it
@@tunnelvision7906 nah I think they were teasing him because the coworker was interested in him not the opposite. Plus I thought through out the episode that Kenny was jerking off to gay porn and was too scared to admit to everyone he was gay
I thought the disinterest was because he was gay haha
I thought he was just super awkward dude and didnt really know how to reciprocate.
I thought he just didn't like her back? Lol I don't know why a dude needs to be gay or awkward to not show interest in a girl? Lol
I was wondering why Kenny didn’t just go to the authorities until the twist :/
Kanav Kapoor yeah they got me too but i was more like hey so what you caught jackin off. Just let them upload it get embarrassed and move on! Better then robbin a bank or fighting to the death. But it was kid porn and that my friend must remain a secret. Great ep!
Dion Mose same here the whole time I was thinking that I wouldn't care you couldn't black mail me with something so small
New Royal. "Something so small" Heh.
Aaron Jimenez oh wow,lol
I thought that since the hackers are watching everything he does they’d know he called the police
I’ve said it once and I’ll say it again: Exit Music in this episode is the best use of music in TV
Yes!!! I watched this on a plane and I absolutely BROKE DOWN into tears when the song played
Well, he WAS hurting someone and to imply otherwise is pretty appalling - he was providing video makers with incentive to make more videos, as this is a thriving industry because there are customers for it. And hurting rape victims - It's bad enough to be raped once, but the fact that other people will watch it gleefully and fap to it might feel like being raped all over again. Btw, I believe that in USA anytime child porno videos are found on somebody's computer etc, the victims (if they are known) get notified about it, so they could sue the person for damages. Imagine getting reminders 5, 10 etc years later that someone keeps enjoying video of you being violated as a child.
My absolute favourite episode of Black Mirror and one of the tensest things I've ever seen.
Yep
Watch the movie 'phonebooth'
My favourite too. Even before the twist about Kenny.
tbh this was by far my least favorite. It was cringey, the twist that he was a pedophile was plain stupid, there was no purpose to anything that happened in the episode, and there was no real theme like most episodes had.
I'm not, though I don't see how that relates to what I posted.
I think 95% of Black Mirror episode are phenomenal. This one, on the other hand, was trash, and I genuinely don't understand why anyone likes it.
I’m really disturbed by you saying “Kenny wasn’t really hurting anyone”. You should rethink that.
People keep saying that about child porn in general. Saying "watching it is not hurting anyone" normalizes it and is not ok
While, I completely agree, it was still entirely hurting someone, I'm sure what he meant by that was that he did not physically do it himself. It is obviously and undoubtedly still unacceptable, but I'm sure it was just his wording there that made his line of thinking seem worse and that he does not genuinely think watching that is "not hurting anyone".
I think he means he wasn't physically hurting anyone (him personally) but by watching it he is contributing to asking others to hurt children so it is still hurting them in the end. I too think he should change his wording.
Exactly, I was totally taken aback by that comment. Its a matter of supply and demand. CP consumption definately hurts children,
@@ciaras3170 Actually cp is physically hurting someone a child
An aspect of the episode, which got overlooked in the video and in many other black mirror episodes like white bear, is the inherent immorality of "an eye for an eye" approaches to justice. Everyone has once in their lives thought that people who commit heinous crimes might deserve nightmarish punishment. Black mirror drops the viewer in such a phantasy with the brilliant twist that the context is not explained until late in the episode. When we see these people punished we think "no one deserves this kind of punishment" and later when it is revealed that the protagonist is a pedophile we already saw the events play out from the point of view of the "justice receiving" party.
This should give everyone food for thought about how to deal with criminals.
I actually think as the hacker as the bad guy, start to end. He thinks he can decide what is morally punishable, and decide for the punishment, he thinks of himself as the perfect justice, but ends up punishing people who didn't do much wrong. Seriously, "a racist mail", is it that bad? Yeah I hate racism but should we do this kind of thing to them?
Pedophelia that has not yet led to physically harming anyone would be better treated as a mental disorder. The right thing to do would’ve been to get him help and go after someone who is physically harming people and committing crimes. Watching child porn is bad but why not go after the people who are creating it and get therapy for the people who feel the need to watch it but don’t actually want to hurt anyone.
Yeah this is the point of the episode.
People don't watch CP unknowingly. They know exactly what they're doing when they click on it, they know it's a crime, they're not innocent. They have a choice.
And half of the people who watch this and White Bear will still say "oh well, I guess this immoral behavior is okay because the other person acted immorally". Few will deny that Kenny is a nasty person, and Victoria Skillane even worse, but the point of the episodes wasn't just to make you root for someone who turns out to have done something incredibly reprehensible, but also to make one question this kind of online vigilantism as well as people's elaborate fantasies they make up about how they should torture people who committed heinous crimes against others, by presenting it through the eyes of those being tormented. In the case of Skillane, most people would agree that she deserves either a life sentence or a quick execution. The hackers could have just reported Kenny to the numerous tiplines that exist for people who share/download cp, authorities take that very seriously for a reason. In both cases it's just cruel and unusual.
"We see many other slaves" *Shows black guy* That was unfortunate timing, lmao
I saw a Reddit post awhile ago that examined some frames of Kenny's emails on his computer. One contained him talking to someone about buying a camera, possibly implying that Kenny himself was planning to make his own "pictures" with children, making him less innocent to what he was doing than the audience might think he was.
LUIGIII nah it makes sense. it just shows that over time he would have become a child molester. all these characters would have kept going and getting worse had the hackers not intervened
Given that Kenny pissed himself with the bank robbery and wanted to shoot himself, before he had to shoot someone else, I can't see him as someone who could force Children to have sex. Cowardly looking at Child Porn without thinking about the consequences for other people, sure! But I don't think he has enough... guts to do that himself. Sorry, if that sounds like I would call that a virtue in this case.
Also Bar San, you make it sound like the hackers were heroes. They could've just leaked these Things without making People fight to the death for their amusement.
ZiggyWSB
That does really make sense but then again, people don't want to be/feel powerless or weak which is why they're are capable of the most horrible acts (great example is bullying). So I think it is also possible that as a weak, cowardly person he might desire someone who will make him feel less so... And children are even weaker and more easily scared than he is. So I think there still is a chance he would end up growing into a child molester. That said people also do grow more bold and assertive as they mature all the time. I'm quite grateful that isn't the case in the episode but cynically enough it could go either way, I think!
no teenager knows that LUIGII
@@ZiggyWSBSomeone theorized the hackers did this to ensure whoever survived would get jail for life even if the CP charges didn't stick. If they just leak the footage of him masturbating to CP, he could claim that it was a deepfake in court. Sure, his reputation is ruined, but he still has his freedom. DNA evidence and multiple witnesses, on the other hand, are much harder to discredit than a grainy webcam video.
After reading comments I've just realised that Kenny survived the fight because he killed the other guy. I honestly can't believe I didn't pick up on this, thank you to those that pointed this mistake out to me.
Harry's Moving Castle I liked the subtly placed troll face
Yeah. Nevertheless your video is brilliant.
Oh wow lol I was just about to comment on this nice pick up
Great video - I was just going to comment on this when I saw your comment. It's clear from the show it was a fight to the death. Since we see Kenny with the backpack at the end, he must have won the fight.
or maybe your first idea was right! - the other guy beat him up but didnt or couldnt kill him, so they both lost. Your 'mistake' gave me more to think about if anything mate lol
Also the use of the troll face at the end was perfect! I felt that not only was the troll being sent to them, but also to us (as the audience). Throughout the episode we were manipulated to think that Kenny was watching normal porn when really it was child pornography. Throughout the episode we all empathised with Kenny and his unfortunate situation, but at the end when the truth was revealed, we were in fact also trolled by the hacker himself as we are left disturbed and emotionally unstable.
Just a reminder y'all, don't sympathise with Kenny. He already consumed CP , he did the deed.
Unfortunately people do because they think that if it doesn’t harm it isn’t bad. It still is though, kids suffer for the simple pleasure of people like Kenny, even if he’s just a fictional character
He didn't do anything really
@@somedude-vp9ti you must like what kenny does,you keep defending this creep
I feel bad for Kenny.
More research needs to be done into pedophilia. We know so little about it and yet we punish it's gratifications so harshly, and the problem remains unsolved. Nobody chooses to be a pedophile, and those who are can not realistically get any effective mental help. The treatments we have are simple, barbaric and ineffective. Maybe one day with enough research, we can identify the root cause of pedophilia and rehabilitate those who suffer from it. Maybe it's genetic or maybe it's circumstantial. Maybe through gene therapy we can eradicate it from the gene pool. Whatever the case, what we are doing now is not solving the problem in the long run.
@@lie2297 k m8
Amazing episode. Everything about this is top notch. Alex is phenomenal. That twist was well played out. I was so on Kenny's side until his mom's phone call. Damn what a ride! Best acted scene - Kenny having a breakdown in the car and him robbing the bank.
nina capila probably my favourite episode of the season. I mean, that ending... holy shit
I think this is my favorite Black Mirror episode ever. I go back and forth with this and USS Callister. But Shut Up and Dance has the edge because of the amazing performance. :)
The moment in the forest when the other man asked Kenny, "How young? How young were they?" was the most exquisite twist. I knew there was something more incriminating to the blackmail video than 'just' masturbating, you know?Suspicions confirmed, damn.
How stupid are you all? This episode was mediocre at best. Who who fuck robs a bank and chooses to murder someone over footage of them jacking off? Who would trust the guy giving orders either? Unless you’re an idiot. You’d stop at the point when you’re told to rob the bank and go to the cops instead, explaining everything
Riley Miller he robs the bank and kills the other pedophile because if the footage of him masturbating to child porn was leaked then his life would be ruined and he’d be sent to prison.
one of my favorite things about both this episode and white bear (which is my favorite black mirror episode over all) is that you feel bad for the main character throughout the entire episode until the plot twist where you learn that they are terrible people. you may still feel bad for them, but your perspective on them totally changes and you question whether or not their treatment was fair at all. love these videos, btw! i was waiting for this one.
the only thing is Victoria had her mind erased and they punished her tons of times for something she doesn't even remember. Not defending her but Kenny supported child porn, robbed a bank and killed a guy so he can't really think he's innocent like she did
Gabe Nakatsukasa I agree. as horrible as Victoria's actions were her memory of her past life was completely erased, making her "punishment" pointless because her previous guilty self was pretty much killed. she was essentially a child being tortured over and over again for no reason, which I guess was the point.
Is Kenny a terrible person? I always felt terribly sorry for him, not a feeling of hatred. Kenny is a victim of his own sexuality. As long as we keep treating peadophiles who do not actually have sex with children as criminals, we ain't gonna solve noting. If we really want to do anything about it we have to break the taboo so people like Kenny can find help.
rik-jan veldhuijzen
" who do not actually have sex with children as criminals" but he is watching child porn he's aware these children are being raped/ abused and is able to get off on it he's almost just as bad as the people who produce it
LUIGIII
my comment was basically "yeah he's aroused by children but since he knowingly consumes something that these rapist profit off he's (a big) part of the problem"
i'm not saying it's not a "mentall illness"(< my opinion on that is very mixed) i'm saying he's shit for endorsing child porn by watching it
i've seen child porn when i was a child myself, have dealt with multiple pedophiles both female and male both young and old both those who act on it and those who don't. there is absolutely no fucking excuse for actively looking for child porn taking steps so that you won't get caught, get off on watching actual children get raped and then " well, hey i never touched any children so i'm good right?"
This episode left me speechless. Maybe the most genius part was making the characters so likeable throughout the episode! Makes you empathize with them, hope for a happy ending... which I guess we got, in a very twisted, unexpected sort of way.
alex’s acting is phenomenal. i come back to watch this episode every few months because it’s just so immersive and really well put together.

@@tracerbtw1843 nonce
Tracer btw dude there something called view number
@@tracerbtw1843 I think the commenter meant that by watching it, you are complicit in the act. For you have benefitted from the suffering of a child. There's a reason why people share cp, to get more cp or create a tumor on the internet.
How does it make people want to make more? The people who made it have no way of knowing if someone watched it or not.
If you looked at Kenny's e-mails you could see that he had been planning on buying a camera, this implies that Kenny was already starting to escalate in his disgusting endeavors, considering he also works at a fast food restaurant where there are a lot of children pretty often, and that he goes out of his way to build trust with them; this means he didn't just want to consume CP, he wanted to make it.
I also find it notable that this episode was published at the height of multiple huge dark web Cyber Chomo Rings being exposed and their most notable members and owners be arrested, such as Peter Scully, Richard Huckle, Matthew David Graham, Shannon McCoole and Eric Marques.
No doubt the creators of this episode based Kenny on Matthew Graham and if not, then coincidences with this show have happened before (The National Anthem).
literally when he got the call from his mum saying that he was looking at kids it reminded me when earlier on he gave gave that little girl the toy back. at the time it seemed so innocent and you would have never thought nothing of it but when you find out it was kids he was looking at just gives me chills it was so unexpected.
I still don’t understand how Kenny won that fight to the death.
Not that hard, he's young and faster than the other dude.
Also, he had a gun...
Angels Unchained the gun wasn't loaded
Lap TV the older dude was drinking and was drunk. Giving Kenny the advantage
@@sclarinet9088 but it's still a blunt weapon

Lonesome Queen just the way his mom sounded so heartbroken is the only way I feel bad for him, but STOP LOOKING AT KIDS
Suleiman The Magnificent Explain what?
all he had to do was delete all his contacts
THATS WHAT I WAS THINKING
Chances are the hackers would've copied all the information in the first place. A literal ctrl c ctrl v
I noticed now when he opened the wallet there’s a picture of two kids and condoms that flew out from under the picture idk if it was intentional but I loved this episode it was insanely intriguing
Not Ivan it’s the other guys wallet not Kenny’s
EJ I knew that but it was a lil weird when I noticed that
That's why he went to the extreme when his sister took his laptop
um ok. Which makes the plot twist nuttier because I have gotten so annoyed with my sister taking my things that I considered the lock a bit extreme but not completely weird because I've considered doing the same in the past. But then to find out why specifically in his case, insanity
I understand him being angry she took his computer because I’ve seen boys try to protect their porn lol but the whole putting a padlock on his door was indeed suspicious from the start
I guess if they wanted to be a lot more subtle, they could've added guest accounts for his sister to use?
whichs begs the question: "why tf would you allow anyone to use your pc knowing you have information you don't want anyone to access?" felt a bit too off character :/
The scene where he gave the little girl the toy she left on the table in the beginning of episode, those little hints are why I love black mirror
Honestly I just went back and rewatched this video and I have a problem with something you said. "He wasn't actually hurting anybody." To me, that's a false statement. The consumption of child pornography leads to the further production of same, which further puts children into situations where they're exploited and harmed. So yes, someone definitely gets hurt.
No it doesn't. A lot of people are writing the same but its plain wrong. It's a good assumption maybe. You don't pay for that kind of stuff, because you can find enough of it for free in the clear net. The people usually upload that stuff to brag or something. But they wouldn't stop doing those things to children, just because noone looks at the pictures.
I agree. I mean, it might seem harmless but it’s not, and even if it was, the concept is still creepy as hell. It’s pretty hard to look at a paedophile and say they’re not hurting anyone.
@@pafu015
They are reacting off of emotions
i also think that generally when it comes to actual child molesters, it’s safe to assume that it begins with just looking at all of that creepy shit, and ends up developing into the actual act-so the fact that he was only watching it or looking at it doesn’t make him an okay dude, cause over time it would very likely have developed into something much worse than just looking. not to mention looking at kids that way in the first place is disgusting.
@@pafu015 your arguments are totally contradictory. you say they upload it to brag, but you can only brag if there's an audience who cares about your stuff. if no one gives a shit then you can't brag, simple as that.
my jaw dropped to the floor when his mom called him. i was on his side and then i just stared at my phone like 😯
"Kenny wasn't hurting anyone" he might have been thinking about it because in his emails you see him buying cameras, maybe for a certain purpose...
"he might have been thinking about it" - Haha... this reminds me of that "are we gonna wait for hi to do it" Spongebob meme.
can we also talk about how the kid scenes in the beginning make you
sympathize with kenny even more, you think oh he is just this socially awkward guy who can connect with kids more easily as to connect with adults of his own age, it makes you think that he is a nice guy and happens to be good with kids, and the you get to the ending and you rewatch the whole episode and those scene make him even more disgusting
12345 Nltsaaegcj
I still felt bad for him
12345 Nltsaaegcj yesss, it fucked me up because you tend to think that people who are good with kids are pure but this made things so disgusting
I'm not a scholar on the subject or anything, but I'm pretty sure a lot of peadophiles are "good with kids" like Kenny - it only makes sense that they would be. They idealize children's innocence and naivete and want to be with them because it's easier than dealing with somebody who is their equal.
I'm generally on the "we need to differentiate between peadophiles and child molesters" and "we need treatments, not witch hunts" team, but when it was revealed at the end all my sympathy for him immediately dissolved.
Watching a video of a child being sexually assulted and jerking off to it - it's just so disgusting.
Pictures, If He did not lie and Its still better then robbing a bank or killing. You ofc need customers, someone needs to buy the shit, but still, the First problem are the creators in my opinion. I totally dont think Kenny got equal punishment for his crime, maybe He likes little girls and watched some pics and It may be totally disgusting, but other then that, He could have been a decent person who has value in the society. And no, I am not a pedophile.
Oh my good I haven't noticed that
Its implied that Kenny won, not the other guy. It was a fight to the DEATH and Kenny lived.
I also want to say that this is one of, if not, my favorite episodes. The episode starts with Kenny being extremely relatable, we all do private things on our computers or phones that we would not want everyone in our contact lists (family, friends, coworkers, etc) seeing. Even something as normal as self-pleasuring is extremely embarrassing to have your mom or boss see. As the episode progressing, we get the feeling that the punishment outweighs the crime and saying to ourselves that he should cut his losses and have the footage leaked. It's embarrassing but do that or go miles away in a strange car with a stranger? Rob a bank with a gun? Fight someone to the death? A video of you masturbating can't be that bad. We're sitting there baffled as our empathy turns into complete confusion and then the reveal.... It all makes sense. Why else would he be so desperate to cover up his act. It was perfect. Kenny's actor did such a great job portraying his desperation and helplessness, especially the moments before and during the bank robbery and his screaming and panic attacks when he is first found out. Great episode, 5/5, would watch again.

I think this was the best episode of Black Mirror. The whole time you feel bad for the guy until that twist at the end shows who he really is, and it had me in shock for like a day.
I think it’s really interesting how you spend an hour feeling sorry for Kenny, like come on he’s just a teen who watched some porn. Then at the end you figure out he’s a pedophile. So it makes you reevaluate: did Kenny deserve what happened to him? Black mirror has a way of making you think about how YOU think... what your core morals and beliefs are. Some people still feel sorry for him, some believe he deserved what he got.
of course . the twist tho
I didn't feel bad at all lmao, I saw a pathetic sweaty weirdo failing at every aspect of life
He was made a pedophile by the hackers, since the only evidence could be a camera capturing him wanking at the screen, with the content visible. Combining screen and video of wanking is very doubtful

This is my favorite episode, but I can tell you 1000000% that watching C.P in any capacity still has an effect on the victim(s) in the videos/pictures.
There was a video that I watched that freaking told you how accessible and widespread this woman's C.P material was, giving her name, her dads name (the abuser), and she knows how many times the videos of her being abused as a child were downloaded, she's seen the comments about it, and even 40 years later it's still haunting her.
So please do not say "Kenny wasn't actually hurting anybody".
What I'm most concerened about is how everyone in the comments know so much on this topic.
Yet their framing themselves as the innocent one, but how innocent can you be when you are 1000000% confident about this topic.
Thank you. This comment section can argue about supply/demand as much as they like, but that doesn't change the fact that jacking off to someone's sexual abuse is incredibly fucked up.
One of the most straightforward and effective Black Mirror episode.

It's just basic DSM-V and psychology knowledge. He's probably a psych student, or someone who has a mental disorder themselves (depression, anxiety) and became interested in researching the DSM-V and psychology itself. It's a pretty fun topic to read up on (not pedophilia, but psychology) even if you're not inherently interested in it.
WOW, but think of this. Does a pedophile choose to like kids or is he unable to help it? God knows their lives would be a heck of a lot easier if they just loved a normal adult. And wouldn't pedophiles be easier to identify if instead of offering bullets to the head they where offered mental treatment so they wouldn't be scared to come out to the public. Maybe that way kids would be safer
i personally think that empathy could easily prevent pedophiles to commit their crimes, it will be a burden on their shoulders to resist their desires, but everyone has some burden in his life

When he goes to pay for the gas, condoms fall out of the wallet revealing pictures of Hector's children. Foreshadowing Kenny's situation. Pictures of children.
It was more than that. In the car Hector was talking about how he was going to lose his kids and that he would kill himself if that ever happened and Kenny got more and more distressed the longer the conversation went on. He seemed like he was going to confess out of guilt for a second there.
Pellinor Holy shit. Yep. Literally each time the guys said the word "kids" kenny got increasingly stressed out.
Maybe not out of guilt, but because he feared if Hector found out what he did Hector would get physically violent.
