This can't be real. Right?

I couldn't believe that when I saw it, so I looked around the internet. Some people say that he's a comedian and that this was just a skit. Todd Conner has a website, though, and while it may be a joke site, I'm not convinced that such a website would be developed just to support such a short skit. (www.toddconner.net... The promo looks too stupid to be real, but again, I can't tell).

So does anybody know exactly who this comedian is, if he is one? If he is, then that is one hell of a good way to get some attention.

If he isn't, then... damn.

Damn .... Damn ... All I have to say after that video is .. Well.
And besides. Comedian or not. Letting someone fall that high up, expecting to get caught. That's fucked

Saw the original vid (without the name change bit at the start) a year ago or so.

If it's real, its sick.

If it's not, its a sick joke.

Either way he had to change his name...

I doubt it's a real thing, it's too forced. Most likely a staged sketch, well part of one anyway.

Is it wrong that I loled?

but really, I hope its fake. Just you know, one of those really elaborate comedy skits where at the end they say to everyone in the work place "Surprise!".. It would be made even better if the girl who fell came walking into the room everyone is moved into after the skit; dressed as a zombie. YAY! zombies!

I say it's a skit.

That's basically why

Still, falling like that must hurt unless she was wearing cushions strapped to her back or something...she's not that young.

Yeah. Either way it's awful. Because she actually fell all the way to the floor. So unless she doesn't feel pain, that must hurt a whole lot.

Oh, and. THere are apperantly three names here. "Franklin Apollo", "Todd Connor" and "Dan Sachoff"
Appereantly Dan Sachoff made this character "Todd Connor". Possibly he had the same character have the name "Franklin Apollo" before, and with sketches he changed it or something. So this may well be a sketch. THe evidences of Dan Sachoff being a comedian and actor and all that seems overwelming.

But bottom line is that she actually fell, damnit. And it must have hurted a lot.

aaah
i read the comments on youtube, so im thinking (hoping) it was a sketch
poor stunt woman, that looked painful

 

[Straitjacketeering]

I doubt someone would do this intentionally with out any safety.

Its just a performance piece, I went to a comedy show where one of the acts was a guy who came on drunk out of his skull and cried about how his wife had left him. Took me about a year before I realised that this was actually the guys routine! Look at the comedic stylings of the Office et al...

there was a mat on the floor, you can barely see it [one of the little elementry "lookitwaticando!" mats], granted it could still hurt. but this guy is a comedian, he really is Dan Sachoff and the woman [linda?] was a plant [not like a in-the-ground plant, but a person that the comedian or magician will have in the audience so they can call them instead of someone else as to help the joke or trick.], he could of easily called on any of the people in front of him but he deliberately looks to his right and calls her up.

Yes. But you clearly heard the "thud!". So it - as you said - must have most definetely hurt. But she's preobaly getting paid enough =P
Also. I thought it was rather strange when I heard laughter in the crowd as she fell down. Right befor the dit, to make do it over in slow-mo

And also. You said that he looked to his right to bring someone up. Well if you listen, you hear he said that he had gotten a card from "Laura". So that's why he looked straight at her. BUt still. It's definetely staged.

i saw one of Lee Evans, where a guy in the crowd kept making noises so the spotlight would go on him instead, it was pretty funny, mainly because the guy didnt get hurt XD
problem is you can kinda tell that one is staged

 

[Dogstile]

yeah, looks real, but it was fake
