Seth Green mugged in set parking lot, freaks out on camera.

Wow shitty. Shitty that he got mugged, shitty that someone was filming his freakout, shitty that someone put it on the internet.

My dad always said, be rich, but not famous.
 
[quote name='crystalklear64']ah yes the ole' "i didn't mean to kill him, its not like it was my choice" defense[/QUOTE]

Fight or flight is evoked when threatened. When you threaten somebody (seriously threaten. not like "I'll make you eat poop"), all bets are off. Not that it fits the situation at all, but I'll play along. If Seth felt his life was being threatened, I could care less what he did to the assailants. I've said it before and I'll say it again, I'm not concerned with defending the "rights" of people while they're breaking the law. You waive those rights the second you decide to take away someone elses.
 
[quote name='n8rockerasu']After watching it again, I'm actually pissed off for Seth that somebody would put this online. I'm guessing they either sold it or got fired and this was their revenge, but either way, it's fucked up. More than anything, that's just the reaction of someone who was really scared and his adrenaline is going nuts.

But the crew's reaction seems really unconcerned too. Just a casual "are you ok?" and a really uncaring "just cool it and we'll figure it out". It almost makes me wonder if this was like a "Punk'd" style practical joke. Either way it sucks, and isn't funny in the least.[/QUOTE]

Seems fake to me. How hard could it be to fake this? Plus didn't his Cleveland show just start? I bet it's getting sheitte ratings? Or maybe he's got something else cookin' that he needs some press on?

EDIT: Nevermind on the top TV shows (ages 18-49) last week:

who the fuck would think this is a joke? a security camera of him getting tackled and robbed, then being seriously pissed off and yelling at his asssistants? Hahahahaha, it's just SO funny! yea he set this all up.
 
[quote name='crunchb3rry']Wow, how tall it he?

WTF does he expect a Hollywood security guard to do? Rub some camo facepaint on, slide a bowie knife in his belt, and rappel down the street after them?

Like others have said though, I guess you have to chalk it up to being traumatized and not really having a handle on your composure.[/QUOTE]

could be something they said to him while they were robbing him too theres no telling but being robbed or having someone try to rob you is an unnerving experience.
 
[quote name='rickshankshaw']Verbally threatened?

You're a pansy.[/QUOTE]

I probably should have also mentioned that he put his hands on me, and to be perfectly honest he could have probably kicked my ass unless I got ahold of something to bludgeon him with. Besides I had to live with this guy for however long, so I wasn't about to do something that added any tension to my living space.

But like I said, because of that incident I managed to get him kicked out, so it all worked out in the end.

people have and do stage things all the time for one reason or another. look a some of the stupid shit they did on punked or scare tactics. there is a possibility these both could be staged incidents unless he actually filed a police report theres no way to know for sure if its real or not.

If you buy into that, then you must also think Seth is an incredible actor because he's pretty damn convincing in the video. He looks shaken and upset. Not just "Christian Bale pissed off".

Haha, nice try. Too out of the blue though. Better luck next time. :)
 
I also think it's staged, it just looks so phony in spots. Why would someone be recording a bunch of employees standing around doing nothing in the first place? Seems awfully convenient, and Seth pushing the camera and table over looked cheesy as hell. The video is full of cliches of your typical "Hollywood freakout."
 
What a bitch. Take it like a man you pussy!:cry: I've been held up 4 times At gunpoint, and not once did I rant like this tinkerbell. I always knew he was a bitch.
 
also theres been alot of on set blow up videos of late matt damon, that stoner from half baked and some others ive seen in the past few weeks. i think for some reason this is the new thing now celebrities being caught blowing up but not really since theyre staged. kinda like what sex tapes were but reverse since these blow ups are from successful types or well know not wannabes.

First of all that sucks and I hope they catch the scumbags. It seems kinda fake because who keeps security cameras that run coninuously but it's a movie set so what do I know.

However LOL @ anyone defending Seth Green. Try going into your school or job and turning a table over and threatening to fire everyone, no matter what just occured, and see what happens. Instead of a movie set I wish he had thrown his tantrum in a place that has serious security and metal detectors, he would have been given a reality check real fast.

And yes I've been high on adreniline and no I did not go around breaking stuff and yelling at ppl offering me help.
 
[quote name='naiku']yeah watching the first video...i thought what a douchebag freaking out that much for losing his wallet

but man that second video was slow....but holy crap they tackled him and ripped shit out of his hands. perfectly justifiable for flipping a table and freaking out.[/QUOTE]

Exactly what I was thinking. Obviously, flipping over the table wasn't a good idea, but after being mugged like that, it's perfectly understandable to be pissed off.

Well, considering he does a lot of producing now, I wouldn't be surprised if most of those people were working for him. Also, where did you see anybody offering to help him?
 
[quote name='IRHari']He went to high school near me. Supposedly he's a douchebag IRL.[/QUOTE]


In high school he was, but only because he got picked on a lot. I remember in my 9th grade wellness class, our teacher passed out an interview with him, the subject of which was how he was an outcast in high school, along with not listening to bullies and believing in yourself.

[quote name='Galego23']lol at you people thinking this is real.[/QUOTE]


I can see how with all the fake shit out there, people would be suspicious, but honestly, what reason would they have to fake a video like this? What good could it possibly do for his career? Or any of their careers? It's not like they plugged anything, and a lot of the result seems to be people thinking Seth is a douche. I just don't see how they'd be benefiting from it...
 
The Matt Damon video is not real. Thats part of an Entourage episode, he's been trying to get Vince to donate money for some feed the hungry group.

That's no way to treat employees. Being the boss entails a certain amount of responsibility. If he's not just a prima donna actor and really the boss, it's a whole nother level of wrong.

Also the one guy offscreen is saying "calm down and let's figure it out" yet Seth is still hysterical. I wouldn't call 911 until I had a general idea of what happened, I don't blame that guy for wanting to first find out what had happened, find out if Seth was hurt, find out what was going on. Without the benefit of seeing the violent mugging video, could you really say you would have acted any different then that guy trying to calm Seth down and assess the situation? AFAIK Seth has a cell and knows how to punch in three digits, if it was that urgent then why not call it in himself. The bodyguard should not have put his hand on Seth's shoulder, but overreact much?

So now after he is targeted he can walk in and kick the dog. Wonderful.

Kid, don't look to Seth Green as a role model. Please.

Apparently you have no experience being a boss. You're allowed to break your own shit. Especially if you're having a meltdown. They have a word for you. I think it's called self-righteous. And that word should only be reserved for me.
 
If I was Seth I would have reacted the exact same way. Also, if that Jim Breuer freakout is real, I don't know what the fuck that one dude was thinking. Jim just wanted some fucking pizza, the director said that they were all done shooting, so why did the guy keep trying to take the pizza away from Jim? And the Huckabees video, that bitch deserved to get slapped, the director was trying to help her do the scene, and she just keeps bitching and whining.

Are you talking about a video game boss? Because then you also have the right to glow orange, have a massive health bar, and incredibly badass powers as long as they are accompanied by an Achilles heel.

The Jim Breuer freakout is so fake, but I think it's pretty funny.

Stuffed krust pan pizza KABOOM! *Holds pizza away from prop guy* KABOOM!

WTF is going on? I actually agree with the last few rickshankshaw posts? Am I high?

Also, camoor is just being a troll. Nobody could be that far stuck up his own ass...well, except maybe...nah, too easy :)

You're you're the first to break out the ad hominems and I'm the troll? Nice try.
 
Nice post, op.
Hate to see/hear this kind of stuff happen, even if it's to those more fortunate (and it's not like Seth Green's a money hog, I personally am a fan of his).
 
I got mugged before and you feel pissed off for days....Its hard to bring that shit down. I don't think I overturned any tables but I was really upset.
 
Wow...just read something bizarre on Seth Green's official site. Apparently, this is a Butterfinger promotional game. That the muggers stole his vintage Butterfinger and it's up to the public to help him find it. See for yourself:

http://www.sethgreenonline.com/ (front page shows a note from Seth regarding "the contest")

http://www.dudewheresmybar.com/ (shows a horrendously awkward commercial for "the contest")

I don't know if this makes me think the mugging is fake, or convince me even more that it was real, but you guys should check this out because it just feels really weird, out of place, and poorly planned. It makes me wonder if the incident actually was real and this is just a clever PR spin. My reasons for thinking this are:

1. If the purpose of the "mugging" video is to establish some kind of pretext for a candybar wrapper game, why make it so realistic, with no nod to Butterfinger, or even a superimposed yellow object that the "muggers" were taking?

2. What is the purpose of the rant video? What benefit does that give to this contest? As others have mentioned, some people will view Green negatively because of it. Also, although he didn't swear much in the rant, he did tell the security guard to "move your ass to the unemployment line, dude". That's the attitude Butterfinger wants looming over their promotion?

3. Green's acting in the "haha, I fooled you" video, selling the Butterfinger promotion is about 100 times worse than the rant video. It feels ridiculously forced, and I felt awkward the entire time I watched it.

I don't know. I could be completely wrong, but if this was really a planned promotion, it has to be one of the worst executed I've ever seen. I can hardly see any ways that this would benefit Butterfinger, and they're allegedly the ones sponsoring the whole thing? Something just seems off.
 
Haha, so it was an act.

This is ridiculous. Remember when they did that Simpsons Butterfinger promotion, that kicked ass. This is beyond terrible.
 
i feel bad for all the retards who posted defending the guy. i knew it was more than likely staged but there were those who were like "why would someone stage something like that "? its all about shock value now whether its appropriate or not this kind of shit grabs peoples attentions and gets them talking. not to mention if it were real wheres the police report? doesnt the smoking gun usually post that kind of stuff?

That's nice. Now explain how this helps Butterfinger sell more candy bars. Where does "shock value" get linked to "brand recognition"? In all honesty, it makes less sense as a company promotion than it did as a broad daylight mugging. To me, the whole thing is just really awkward now.

really i have no damn idea and i think its the dumbest damn commercial ever but then again theres plenty of dumb commercials on tv that i dont understand what about them is supposed to sell the product.

Me too. His defenders are going to feel like fools, especially when all the blogs denouncing the over-the-top nature of his freakout get into full swing. I predict this one is going to backfire.
 
Is he really that hard up that he has to do Butterfinger commercials? He must piss his family guy money away. Reminds me of Dennis Haysbert doing those shitty car insurance commercials.
