    I only found that funny when watching reality shows like east coast choppers or something. We need to build this bike for our very busy customer Kid Rock. He needs it in 10 days, because he needs to ride his new bike then. Alright gang, time to work 16 hour days.

    Then they keep hammering in how very important it is and he’s not gonna pay if he gets it 2 hours too late. I know it’s all just fake theatrical reality tv, but even as a child i never got the whole urgency they tried to push. All i thought was: so what, lol, fuck them

      Yeah, they create urgency in tv shows to make the viewer feel its more exciting. I think another example of this is Hells Kitchen. :)

      Also the editing of that show is hilarious. They take out of place facial expressions and put it in scenes where they never happened, to create a viewer experience that is more exciting.

      It is entertaining but I wonder how many people dont realize this when watching…

        I always wondered how they make shows more than what they are trying to sell. I find it interesting when they suddenly wear different clothing between shots and things like that. I’m rewatching king of queens right now and i find it fascinating how they change things up between episodes, because continuity doesn’t matter (or didn’t back then) and it’s more about having fun. They had a cold opening where Carrie was trying to park her car. They had a top view of the car to see the failed attempts. You could see her or the drivers lavender coloured shirt, same as from the hood perspective. Doug asks her if he should do it from the passenger seat in a flannel shirt. She declines over and over. At the end she finally got in, and you see it from the top view and the driver was wearing the flannel. But in the story it was her. Things like that make me wonder if they had an alternative joke where he did it, or if she wasn’t able to do it irl.

          I think most viewers never notice. My girlfriend notices all of this immediately, she should have become a detective. :) I never notice it myself. My brain simply doesnt pick it up… Maybe thats a good thing.

            My girlfriend is the same. She just sees the “whole” and misses the details. I notice the details and sometimes miss the “whole”
