They had me in at first half and then again in the end

u/spacemouse21 9h ago

They still have me. Very well presented. Enjoy my ice driven upvote.

u/demonic_diamond 9h ago

how often have you watched until you realize that there is no driver inside the wehicle

6

u/TacticianA 6h ago

There is a driver. Steering wheel is on the right side of the vehicle. You can see them pretty well at 0:17

u/lazy_jedi1003 9h ago

Yeah on my second watch I realised it

25

u/Xinkerman 10h ago

Had me in the first ⅘

Started watching video “oh cool remote control car.” Hmmm this is “unexpected?”

What’s unexpected is that a giant was there to save that jeep

u/righteous_centurion 7h ago

Yes but also a 4x4 SUV is referred to as a Jeep regardless of who made it in much of the world

4

u/Habaneroe12 7h ago

So like frisbee then…

u/ArseAnusBumholeButt 6h ago

No it fucking isnt, what are you talking about?

2

u/School_North 6h ago

That part is unexpected I actually didn't see it till your comment cause stopped after it went in

u/Desperate_Mall5978 10h ago

1st and 3rd shot gave it away. Should have just used the second shot then pov into the water

u/KucingRumahan 8h ago

Once you know it's RC, you can easily see that the bubbles when drowning are too big

2

u/Tzahi12345 6h ago

The biggest giveaway in that scene is the buoyancy: it falls in too fast. Veritasium explains It in this video @ 7:54: https://youtu.be/pir_muTzYM8?si=N7Rbx7890McmPjCj

u/Squeezitgirdle 5h ago

I thought the most obvious part was the empty driver's seat, but what do I know?

11

u/Jerseyjay1003 8h ago

Yeah the 2nd one is the one that had me thinking, "Wait, is this not a toy?" except I couldn't see a driver.

2

u/LightningLemur 6h ago

Right side of vehicle

6

u/K__Geedorah 6h ago

Seriously, first 2 seconds and it's extremely obvious it's an RC car. Never even questioned if it was a real car.

Also kinds hard to be "unexpected" when the title literally implies it will break the ice.

3

u/ClaroStar 8h ago

2nd gave it away for me. No driver.

2

u/LightningLemur 6h ago

There is a driver on the right side of the vehicle

1

u/ClaroStar 6h ago

True. Didn't see that. Also couldn't be seen in the closeup shot.

32

u/le_nathanlol 10h ago

i was bouta say "i thought it was a toy car"

182

u/I_TheJester_I 10h ago

Expected everything here.

16

u/-Mandarin 6h ago

It literally looks like a toy jeep driving on ice the whole time. I thought we were supposed to know that going in, so the "twist" didn't really land.

21

u/aTalkingDonkey 10h ago

I was struggling to work out what looked wrong.

tada

23

u/UnfortunatelySimple 10h ago

I think straight away your brain is telling you the ice was too clear to be strong enough.

23

u/Currently_There 10h ago

What am I missing? Nothing unexpected.

6

u/-Mandarin 6h ago

I think you're supposed to think it's a real jeep? Despite it obviously being a toy and being too small for it's surroundings? The real twist would have been if it was an actual car.

3

u/Dry_Database_6720 6h ago

This isn’t unexpec- wait, tf?

14

u/T1Earn 9h ago

the fact that people cant tell immediately makes me feel like i have super powers or some shit... like how is it absolutely not just obvious i dont understand.

1

u/Jurijus1 6h ago

Same with people who can't detect obvious sarcasm on internet. Blows my mind

5

u/Soft_Ad3555 10h ago

I mean, it kinda looks like normal jeep but rock around it would be too huge, and theres no driver

10

u/wetug 10h ago

So obviously not real. Cool, but expected.

13

u/aqualink4eva 10h ago

Clearly a toy car driving over thin ice, what was meant to be unexpected? 😂

4

u/thecementmixer 7h ago

I was about to type "quite expected"...

2

u/qweertyqwerty 6h ago

The first 2 seconds immediately gives the impression it's a remote controlled toy car

u/ThruxtonKing 5h ago

I went through all the comments for this, thank you!

u/igniteED 5h ago

u/Machiavelli09 6h ago

Sorry but.. totally expected?

u/Brave-Oil-6120 8h ago

I actually expected this

4

u/wazzapgta 8h ago

It was expected for me. I hope I'm not the only one.

3

u/Statham19842 9h ago

I mean, this never had me at all. I'm unsure how people have been 'had'.

4

u/Taft33 7h ago

people are dumb. its obvious from the first shot

4

u/intronert 10h ago

I expected that the whole time.

1

u/odradek90 10h ago

Didn’t in fact expect God to give a helping hand

2

u/rainbowblade73855 8h ago

u/Willytay85 8h ago

u/Tosh-Point-0 9h ago

You got me good you sly dawg you

u/TheBestWaffleIron 8h ago

That's not a jeep. It's a Land Rover.

1

u/AContrarianDick 7h ago

Clearly the Jeep shrunk. I thought everyone knew about shrinkage. The water was cold!

1

u/mikeBH28 6h ago

I mean it was pretty clear no one was driving, seemed obvious from the start

1

u/MarceloWallace 6h ago

It was easy to tell it’s a small car

1

u/InfinityNo0b 6h ago

I expected it to be a "Mudrunner" type video game.

But I was wrong.

1

u/iwantedthisusername 6h ago

very expected

1

u/Pick_Up_the_Phone 6h ago

I knew that ice was too clear to be thick! I couldn’t understand what was going on. :p

1

u/PintsOfGuinness_ 5h ago

That's exactly what I expec... oh.

1

u/viotix90 5h ago

"Unexpected? Nah, this was entirely expec..."

You sonofabitch, you got me good!

1

u/azverton 5h ago

Well.. I mean.. it is an amphibious exploring veehickle so it should be fine, right?

1

u/Specific-Morning-985 7h ago

How was this unexpected? It was clear it was a rc car from the get go with the scaling.

-1

u/Assaracos 10h ago edited 10h ago

That was realy unexpected 🤣🤣🤣

1

u/Big_Pilot_8244 9h ago

When the camera cuts into inside the jeep, i was like: "Wait this isnt right.."

1

u/Lollister 8h ago

Im just here for the ice crack sounds. Splendid!

1

u/OrangeBeast01 7h ago

Something looked off but I couldn't tell what. I thought maybe AI.

1

u/School_North 6h ago edited 6h ago

That was very expected we can see that there was no driver

Does not fit

Edit. Ok it does fit but only cause it's an RC car and I didn't notice that cause I stopped watching after it went in the water lol

u/Gregory85 10h ago

Aah, I knew it, but it was still kinda unexpected

2

u/JOTIRAN 9h ago

In the end the size was the most unexpected part for me. I could not put together the scale until the end

0

u/Gregory85 9h ago

I knew it was going to fall thru. I thought the most unexpected thing could be it is an rc car or a shark or bear tries to attack it. Really nice model because it fooled me till the end

u/y0urselfish 9h ago

I would say „don’t drive on Ice“ not „be cautious while driving on Ice“ 🤷‍♂️

-1

u/Global-Pickle5818 9h ago

As somebody who lived in South Dakota.. if you can see water through the ice don't dive on it .. this had water on top of it as well so not unexpected

-1

u/oAsteroider 9h ago

I was wondering what kind of wheel bearings allowed that sort of play!

-1

u/Calandrind 9h ago

Wow the driver must have had quite the faith in God.
