[That-Google-Guy]

“There’s a guy here on the webcam and he’s hung.”

Phrasing people, phrasing.

[vinny]

The fact that no one is willing to say what happens in the video is what makes me think it's a hoax.

[florence.]

I'm assuming the video never existed, the same way Darko Maver never existed. They probably made it up because the idea of lost media is often more intriguing than the footage itself.

[TimeSpectators]

That's like trying to find the grossest food at a questionable buffet... maybe just skip the whole buffet!

[abbynormal]

The actors they hired for Emily’s Video stink! The reactions seem more akin to “Two Girls One Cup” than the “Worst Video Ever”.

[alexmalcolm]

I'm betting its fake. The reactions shown in this video all seem incredibly staged. At worst they seem like someone just told a rather crass joke.

[Royal_Fortune]

If they were legitimately watching the worst video ever I think their reactions would’ve been a little less tame than that. Something definitely doesn’t add up here

[mini-_]

There is really two possibilities. Either it's a compilation of videos they found online or it's just a black screen with some text, like it says "Act shocked", "act disgusted", etc. and then some copies are more personalized like "now laugh"

[Finn_Anwarunya]

Sounds like those "artists" only skills are creating controversy. Like they said, "We don't need talent to make a name for ourselves if we just bother enough people." And that's the entire basis of their career.

[someoneoutthereh]

Sooo...We have two individuals, who steal from others and present their "findings" as art, who like to subject people, I'm gessing without consent, to images of murders with a fake story to furthermore disturb, who have no respect for the ones who saw the pictures nor the victims, who film the reactions of people discovering someone might have just died and label the result as "art", and who might have compiled torture videos (fake or not) again so they could film people reactions? How are those people allowed to continue what they do? Something to do with ethics? Not using other people works, lives and deaths to make money?

[do]

Not entirely through watching but... I feel like we're getting tricked, there is no Emily's Video, it's just another project. The reactions to the fictional video is the content.

[destructokat]

Something about "we'll just take it from Rotten and plaster it everywhere under an alias" or "we'll take it from a game and slap it on canvas" irks me.

[russellst.martin]

They should do a piece capturing the look on my face when I hear the sentence "A pair of New York based Italian artists".

[Slender_neet]

"yeah I have the worst video ever but no one can watch it so just trust me"

[breadpilled]

"Artists" who don't respect the consent of others annoy the shit out of me.

[rat-gang-]

this is gonna be a hot take, but the fact that just about everyone in the 'emily's video' reactions looks like the most standard person ever is what tips off that it's fake. you're telling me not a single edgelord basement dweller goth signed up to see the 'worst video ever'?? in new york

forgive me for playing into stereotypes, but as a certified alt person who grew up on gore sites, that sounds like absolute bullshit to me. at least ONE person should've looked like social repose if they wanted this to be believable lol

[applescruff]

6:50 The smash cut to Angry German Kid made me jump. Lol.

[Garfunkels_Funky_Uncle]

I think given the pretentious nature of Eva and Franco's "Art", Emily's Video... does not exist. All these people "Watched" the video, but don't say what's on it? And all information on the video happens to conveniently be gone/destroyed? The only logical answer is this, all the people "Reacting" were more than likely in on the "Art".

[hannahgeraghty]

Honestly these "artists" seem like lazy hacks to me. There's no video, the reactions were staged.

[Titanium_Cranium]

I know it's juvenile but when the guy online was calling emergency services I cracked up when he said

"...the video doesn't look fake, the guy is hung."

Wouldn't blame the dispatcher if they thought he was just having a strong reaction to watching porn for the first time.
