4:05 pm
motioned to let him know what he was about to do. he's not just some tagger. he is a well recognized graffiti artist in that area. >> people are doing graffiti all over the place. >> people are comparing him to a street artist whose worldwide recognition. the sf mission protector did call the police. they did end up arresting him. if found guilty, he could be fined and spend time behind bars. it's always a good idea to make sure the tires on your car are in really good condition because a blowout could be catastrophic. it's blowout. he loses control. oh! >> oh, my gosh.

[ bleep ] [ bleep ] [ bleep ]. >> hell no. [ bleep ]. >> what? [ bleep ] [ bleep ]. >> in the shower? >> this is risky. >> it is. >> really risky. >> it's incredible. they had a goal in mind. it's to showcase why it's dangerous to sell things on craigslist. you never know what you are going to end up with. they are trying to promote reply board. it's a way to communicate to craigslist users without exposing your e-mail address.
4:20 pm
you can read about them before. you could get crazy people like this. that's a cardinal sin right there. the things they did. every instance, they bought the item they went to look at. >> good. >> just as a disclaimer, reply board has no affiliation with craigslist. >> i use craigslist a lot. i may use this because you scare the hell out of me. >> good. if you think that parking spot is the primo one, it might not be the case. this is from the netherlands, you have two guys in a classic american car going to a classic car show. as you can see, they are having a hard time finding parking. so, they think, okay, instead of having a drive around, we'll go under the fence.
4:21 pm
>> oh, i think i know what's going to happen. let's see -- >> they are here to see birdie. they think it's a bird dance. it's not a bird dance. >> yep. >> oh, no! that's the name of the company that put out this ad. this one is humorous. this is in scottland. they are driving around. everybody waving at them. >> what's up? what's up? >> the car stuck on the train tracks. oh, no. >> oh! they have a bunch of commercials like these. it's what they are known for. it's an insurance company. >> they are like the geico of
4:22 pm
the netherlands, maybe. >> yeah. guys this next video is cool. >> he's right. see what they can do by framing a video just right. it's cool.
4:23 pm
4:24 pm
4:25 pm
>> this is a perfect halloween costume if you want to be rosy from the jetson's. >> this next video is plain cool. it's a little something put together by ben. they are a couple photo/video
4:26 pm
geniuses. they have a video of frame of mind. >> are you kidding me? why isn't this a commercial for windows? >> they were inspired by an old hp commercial from back in the day and the opening montage from the hit abc show, "modern family." they are in all locations in hawaii shooting different scenes. it's pretty spot on. i did notice a few, tiny, minor flaws. >> stop it. >> no, look, look, look. i did. it's perfect, but nothing is perfect. there's always a mess up here and there. watch. sticking his tongue out here. watch the image inside the frame. you can see it change a bit. did you see it? >> no. it's perfect. >> i saw it. there's a little jump there. >> i think what they are doing, obviously, i have no idea. they are probably reframing the
4:27 pm
video and adding -- using editing. ground breaking. >> it's an mp frame and they are super imposing it as the video goes on. itis very fluid. very cool. >> a great trick. i want to learn how to do it, right? >> yeah. nothing gets in the way of a real off roader. mid-90s land cruiser. see the tube there? it's a snorkel. it's the breather for the engine so the engine can breathe if it goes into deep water. this land cruiser goes straight into deep water. half way through the crossing and it starts to float. water was deeper than he anticipated. so, what's he do? he sunk, right?
4:28 pm
i'm looking around the inside of the car to break the windows to get the heck out of that thing. >> the truck keeps going. the driver keeps a cool head. you can see the front of that land cruiser sinking a little bit deeper. >> nose first in the water. >> you can't see the door. this guy's still got his foot in it. he's getting closer. >> oh, my gosh. he's going to make it. >> he does make it. his buddies are clapping. >> yeah! [ bleep ]. >> i thought that was impressive. >> i'm impressed. >> thanks for joining us. another half hour of "rtm" is on the way.
