Fastest Times People Have Seen A Crowd Turn


It's hard to describe the kind of group panic that can happen when thousands of people at an event or show see something incredibly awkward or unexpected happening, but it sure is an interesting feeling to see a crowd pull a big u-turn. Sometimes bands actually plan on it, like this band's revenge for people who yelled "Freebird" but most of the time it becomes a monumental failure.

Text - chris_courtland 31.7k points · 1 day ago The climax of the last Twilight movie is a fight scene that goes on for 10 minutes. Vampires are ripping each other's heads off, giant wolves are throwing them around like chew toys, and one- by-one each of Bella's friends and family die around her. You can actually hear people in the audience react as each named character dies. And none of this happened in the book, which was criticized for its lack of climax. As each minute goes on, it feels like

Text - The crowd groans. A girl up front shouts "Are you shitting me?!" Everyone sits back in their seat; no one cares about what's happening on screen anymore. Some people are laughing because someone hit the undo button on the most exciting 10 minutes of the movie. Never have I seen a theater turn on a film so quickly and so hard.

This would happen like half way through the show. Well people are smoking tons of pot, drinking, doing god knows what other drugs, so by the time the pig is released it's basically like god descending from the heavens. People were losing their shit at the pig. Well it got caught in one of the wires and caught on fire. You've never seen s

Up until then he was just being a enthusiastic drunk and had some positive attention. He then decided the beer glass thing was a good idea and promptly executed it. Head wounds bleed A LOT in the first minute. Crowd when from 'auw, you're cute' to 'fuuuck he's gonna die'. I sobered up in an instant and got a (semi) clean towel for him to stop the

Text - MichJohn67 15.2k points · 22 hours ago I was at some weird zoo/animal preserve north of Phoenix in 2012, and there was a tigress in chain- linked compound. This little girl went up to her and blew her a kiss. The tigress looked at her at licked her (her own, not the little girl's) whiskers, and the crowd went "Awwwwwwww." The the tigress shifted a little bit and pissed al| over the little girl. The crowd was shocked and horrified, but I laughed my ass off.

Text - texassadist 13.5k points · 1 day ago · edited 13 hours ago I don't know if this counts but I'm a huge fan of 90s rock. Korn, Slipknot, Seether, Mushroomhead, etc. Anyways I've ALWAYS wanted to see Marilyn Manson in concert and he was opening for I think one of the mentioned bands above a few years back. Anyways, he comes on and just looked horrible, kind of slurring but whatever I get it. So like 4 songs in he starts singing "Beautiful People" and mostly everyone seemed in to it. Well may

Text - HueyLewisAndTheShoes 11.0k points · 1 day ago We were all 17-18 on a school trip. Typical week away doing rock climbing, archery, camping etc. At the end of the trip we're gathered in a big hall for one final gathering and then out of the blue there was a demonstration on how to effectively kill a chicken... using a live chicken that was killed in front of us all for some reason. No warning.

The singer dresses up as a mad scientist and the other three members dress up as his "evil robots." They also have old television sets plugged in around the stage playing 1950s B horror movies while they play. No one including the people running the venue have ever seen these guys play before but goin

Celebration quickly turned to the opposite. Technically not horrified but still the fastest 180 I've seen or been a part of.

Text - mynextthroway 7.4k points · 22 hours ago I was at a 4th of July fireworks show in Ft.Walton- Destin Florida. The show was being staged from the inlet from the Gulf of Mexico to the bay. People were watching it from the other side of the inlet, the highway 98 bridge and from their boats on the water. The first salvo launched, but one of the shells exploded either in the launch tube or just above and ignited the rest of the show on the ground. Some launched a little bit before exploding. Wh

Text - Everybody was trying to get away. We were being hit by pieces of fireworks. They weren't just landing on everybody, they were hitting us. My dad started the boat, but realized we couldn't move. A lot of kids were watching the show while they floated in the water. We were yelling at the other boats to stop because of the kids in the water. Fortunately, enough people heard/listened or realized what the problem now was that they stopped and locked everybody in place. Nobody was seriously hur

Text - liloben 5.7k points · 23 hours ago · edited 18 hours ago When working on a kids show a child goes missing within the first 15 minutes of the show starting. Show had an emergency stop so the parents could plead for the child to make himself known. Nobody was allowed to leave their seats or leave the building. Whole building had to be searched. Everyone assumed the worse but after half an hour they resumed the show even though the kid still had not been found. Ten minutes later we got word

Text - shineyink 3.3k points · 22 hours ago I was at a Russel Peters stand up show in a large theatre. He starts some banter with the guy in the first row who had a huge tattoo on his arm saying "Skyler" (or similar name). He asks all about Skyler, it's the guys daughter. He starts making jokes about daughters, some sexual innuendos etc and then asks how old Skyler is. The guy in the audience goes, she passed away... It was pure crickets after that.

Text - vampiratemirajah 3.3k points · 22 hours ago Went to see the Pokemon movie with my fellow group home residents as a treat. There were maybe 70 of us there, most had never been to a movie theater before so it was a pretty big deal. The house even splurged to get everyone a small soda, candy, and a portion of popcorn, this was literally the best day of most of our lives so far. We get settled in, taking up most of the theater, when the credits started and the lights dimmed. We were so excite

Text - Credits rolled. Lights turned on. Nobody spoke. Every single face was deflated and so, so freaking disappointed. Someone screwed up and played "Galaxy Quest" instead of the (brand new at the time) Pokemon movie. Nobody talked the whole way back to the house, but as soon as we got there so many kids lost it. I didn't end up seeing it until like 10 years later, and it blew mind haha

Text - Thirty_Helens_Agree 3.3k points · 1 day ago · edited 1 day ago Harley-Davidson 100th Anniversary party. For months they said the headliner of the big weekend-long party was a "mystery guest." Everyone assumed it would be someone who appeals to the Harley crowd like The Rolling Stones or Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band, right? So the show starts, opening act is the Doobie Brothers and the crowd loved it. Next is Tim McGraw and the crowd loved it. Next was Kid Rock and he just rocks

They pan the camera to the woman, with the man's outstretched armed holding a ring. She's beaming as she realizes what's happening, and the crowd roars in a joyful applause. They then pan the camera down to the husband-to- be, who turns to face the camera. I'm sorry, there is no other way to say this: he was very ugl

He was cracking jokes as usual then asked everyone in the audience to crack their knuckles on the count of 3. It was the most horrifying evil sound any of us had ever heard.

Text - Digibollocks 1.1k points · 23 hours ago · edited 19 hours ago There's a brilliant clip of Van Halen playing, or attempting to play Jump. It starts off with an extended synth intro that lasts nearly a minute before the familiar intro comes in. The build up is intense and the crowd are loving it. Then the guitars come in, and oh no. Oh god no. Turns out the synth that's been soloing all that time was out of tune. Nobody realised until the other instruments came in. The comic timing coupled
