"Just cut the c--" -- was he going to say "cable"?

Jon, this was an amazing video... perfect music selection.
Jon Feldman 3 years ago

Thanks! Close - he said "Just cut the cord". I edited that wrong by a few frames. When the Replace feature is back online I'll fix this and re-upload.

The music is a track that came as a Windows XP sample. I thought that it would give the right vaguely familiar public domain elevator musak in a minor key feel to the clip.

I should also mention, we did actually "pop the top" but I lost control of the camera as drywall dust fell on my head. Though the clip is cut down to 4 mins, we were stuck in there for about 10-15 minutes, I'd guess.

'pop the top. we're going up!... whao, wait. since we're all here, what do you guys wanna do? sing?'

women and children first.

hilarious!
archie 3 years ago

What a party. Seriously. I would've given my left arm to be in that elevator.

The kid from Milan had nice hair, though.

Ricky seemed thrilled. IOWA seemed a bit sweaty. Id venture to say that claustrophobia is the single most self-diagnosed ailment. Great laugh at the end.

Awesome clip. You guys soooooo got punk'd. I'm suspicious of Ricky.

wow, this would have been exponentially less fun if this were a normal elevator with just like three people in it who don't talk at all.

ROFL. Nice climax.

great :)
this clip reminds me of a german movie, "Out Of Order" (Abwarts).
Plot (from bbc.co.uk/dna/collective/A1025182):
"High-rise horror as a lift carrying four people goes haywire, dangling them 300ft up in a deserted office block. This German thriller's frayed cables effectively fray the nerves and suddenly make taking the stairs a much more attractive option".

i really enjoyed that! i guess now we can all see what it would be like if a bunch of friendly people got stuck in an elevator

See, the elevator let you think you guys won... but 20 years later when the asbestos kicks in... it'll be laughing under it's breath
Francis 3 years ago

Imagine if the lights suddenly turned off too. Ohh that would've been horrifying for that kid. Haha..

Love the music at around 1:18.
Nath 3 years ago

I bet the elevator was way cooler than the karaoke bar itself.

And I'm pretty sure this music was on the Simcity 3000 game but I have no idea how can I possibly still remember that!

Hope you guys got out of that one okay too! - I would have taken the stairs myself.. :)

I've watched this twice and that kid is still a tool, if not a bigger one.

I've been stuck in an elevator and we got out the same exact way. Except we were half way down to a floor, so we had to slide out. Stuck elevator stories are the best.
