Do the Keystone Kops ride again? This “dumbest cops” video has gone viral, initially billed as “actual bank robbery in Detroit.”
You know me, I love examples of physical comedy in real life, and this sure would be funny if it were true, but it ain’t. (Darn.) It’s actually footage shot by an observer with their cell phone during the filming of this 2008 Chevy Mailbu commercial! You can even hear the director saying things like “tell them to come out” and “cut.”
But that choreography was just a little too perfect! This was the actual commercial:
But this one, on the other hand, is more likely legit, and almost qualifies as a perfect three-part gag — except that there are four crashes. Well, we could edit that! Keep your eye on the motorcyclist in white first visible in the upper-right-hand corner; first crash is at 7-second mark but the one at the end is the best.
