Derren Brown | Were You Stuck To The Sofa? | Channel 4

[DuNGeOn33RinG]

Lolpl

[CourtneyG123xx]

didnt work for me

[chloelouiise93]

No it didn't work for me!!

[LittleMissLorna123]

It worked! I couldn't get up! totally panicked!ahah

[cinderydock67]

did not work

[TheBenTse]

Pause at 1:15 and 3:16. You will see a flash of white come on the screen, and pause it to see the image! Mind fuck.

[simplerachel11]

derren was not laughing himself, great comedian.

[Ezlock]

WHAT A FUK??

[R4nDoMZzl]

listen to instruction 4 properly, now try to get up without touching that 'circle'...

[Devoti]

i am disappoint. didn't work at all, it was just as easy to unstick as it always is.

[classick12]

waste of time

[00Phat12345]

Why it worked (in my opinion): For those of you who it worked on, you (subconsciously) obeyed all the instructions given in the first 30 seconds of this video. for those of you who think im talking nonsense, look back and see what instruction 4 was... now, RIGHT NOW, try and get up off of your chair whilst obeying this rule.

[Devoti]

@00Phat12345 that is very true, if people believe that has anything to do with the film however, then they surely must be incredibly stupid. but of course you, i and anyone else watching this realize that you have to move your head forward to be able to stand up because of weight distribution etc.,

[opps295]

i couldnt stop laughing at him... idk why. So thats probably why it didnt work for me

[jazzybiscool]

it worked 

[PolipMojPrdel]

Maybe it didn't work because we are watching it on a tiny youtube screen?

[MollieBabiexxx]

52 days have passed , boy do i wish i left food and drinks before i started the film :(

[wwawawawaaw]

it does kinda work , its more like i didn't want to get up for around 2 1/2 seconds , then i wiggled and stuck up... cool for 2.5 seconds

[MrDeanPatrickDean]

If this had of worked how do you think we could of unstuck if you didnt play the end?

[XxAnimeAbiixX]

well i just wasted 3:26 mins of me life

[Alexiaden93]

Day 52. I'm still stuck to my chair and soon running out of water. Better drink my own piss.

[EatmaiBrownPoo]

Only tried to move right at the end when he said to try, worked for just a few seconds, quite weird really.

[namenotshannah]

this won't work because you need to watch the whole programme, as subliminal messages were flashed throughout. Just watching the video will not make you stick to your chair as Derren prepares you beforehand when you watch the rest of the programme.

[MAFiA303]

I tired so hard to stick.. all in vain!

[addernoir01]

I went very drowsy and quiet and didn't want to move. It triggered off some strange stuff in me and I was soon in tears describing my inner feelings in a very simple way as if he were there asking the questions!

[dannyhajji]

1:13-1:16... is the image that was suppose to 'glue you to your chair'.. but it didnt. oops.

[Jameswaterslive]

After a second look I now know how this is done. I saw a bit of game theory, for instance you said 'those of you with the best talant' and 'just allow yourself to enjoy it', encouraging the audience to be more comfortable. You used things like 'when you find yourself rigidly stuck' and 'focus on the screen', you immediately add the subliminal message. This incorporates the human thinking of A, therefore B. Hearing you say something, then seeing something similar to what you said. Very clever.

[Jameswaterslive]

I was sitting in my chair all the way through. When the video stopped I instinctively got up.

[EnlightenmentChariot]

Derren Brown is one soul-less bastard.

[23brittbritt23]

At 1.14 and 3.15 it flashes a guy with his feet tied together and his mouth tied and a rope around him to a chair!

[SoundGauge]

@23brittbritt23 Thats a subliminal message for you!

[GirlFanYugioh]

Hey is it me or can you a flashing picture of a man tied to the chair

[Michaelissocoollike]

I didnt stick you muda fucka

[Mluna792]

Didn't work =/

[iTzRuBeNxHD]

while Derren was talking i could barley lift my back off my chair, after that i got up and had a pepsi

[ukDUBSTEPchannel]

i really want this to work but it justr doesnt! and when i am sitting in my chair watching the film my nech goes stiff and i cant move it much!

[ukDUBSTEPchannel]

Yes i managed to pause the man tied into the chair at 3:15 !!!

[cena409]

am i bad for making my cousen do this then after it had worked i took the chair outside and left him there?, me and his sister found it funny,

[cleetric]

shit - i was stuck. felt like i was super duper high!

[erikasxx1]

wtf i thought all of thiss was bullshit and i got stuck like wtf feels like your mucles just i dont know its wierd

[MissPsychoticUnicorn]

why would anyone want to be stuck to their chair anyway....? :S

[AwwwFriend]

27 days after watching this video I have made some progression, this is all i have managed to type so far. Please send help, I have somehow managed to unstick my arms and have minimal movement in them. I am still completely stuck to my chair, i am slightly scared.. please help

[kankolinka]

Got up :(

[moyle08]

i got up and and got pulled back down

[3poundsRi]

@moyle08

That wasn't part of the trick. That was just gravity.

[ShahabProduction]

Holy Cow, I ve sat on my chair for 5 months without moving and I am writing via my mind.

[faquiado]

BEEN SITTING ON MY SHIT FOR 2 YEARS NOW BECAUSE OF THIS FAG

[mrjointsmoke]

my computer crashed and now im stuck

[EnglandsAngelLand]

This didn't work... Im an artist and writer. How more creative?

[Milkapants10]

Felt heavy to get up, but that's all :(

[EdenNyan]

@Milkapants10 same here, and me knee hurts :(

[jokerace321]

It did feel a bit heavy to stand up so I think it did work a bit :\

[100ismatullah]

Absolute Bollocks.

[chelsea19991000]

OMG!!!!!!! IM GUNNA CRY IV BEEN STUCK FOR 8 YEARS THANKS DARRAN THANKS ALOT!!! :(

[RyanTheFortySecond]

@chelsea19991000 Uploaded in 2009

[RavenPeaceLilly]

Scary it worked for a bit!!!

[LightningDonkey]

i wish this worked

[timtak1]

Why does he talk to just below the camera?

[TheThea001]

nothing happened i got up strat away after it finished

[HeyLittleDolly]

Oh

My

God.

[StitchBeatbox]

it is not hypnosis, this is physics, if you keep your head in the radius after leaning back, you CAN'T stand up

[MrSquibbo]

@StitchBeatbox This is very true. However the test was to see if people responded to subliminal messages in the video.... there were two... or were there?

[AlanaBDance]

WT THE HELL??? it doesent work

[mycorona14]

I'm stuck

[molly1564]

this worked on me.

ahh! that was awesome!

[JaCkStEr2k11]

watch video

*stuck to your chair*

some maniac with a knife comes in your house

your fucked :P

[jamietailz96]

Pause at 1:15

[MrLIESMASHER]

perhaps some super glue could do the trick.

[Rpatz321]

SHITT I CANT MOVE WTF

[drfish44]

Didnt work, tried it 3 times :(

[XLSPOONERXL]

OK WHAT DO U DO WEN UR STUCK?????

[mcginge100]

i was actually stuck he is so cool aswell

[chance2006]

It never completely worked for me, but it felt very draining getting back up from my seat after watching it, it felt really weird, like energy was being sucked right out of me.

[SuperOctimusprime]

Does anyone know why the internet version apparently donsnt work, cus I really want to experience this but it's just not happening

[jacksgamerunion]

fuck im pooped

[Lammington2]

I can't help but think there's a bit of an ego thing to it- he refers to those who will get stuck as having open, bright, creative personalities, and later refers to it as a talent for the trick. Subliminal messaging mixed with setting up the viewer to want it to happen.

[TakerRaven]

i got stuck, i tried really hard to unstick myself too, but i just wasnt budging!!!! i know how he does it, but its still brill <3

[happybuniek]

3:15 picture of guy who is sitting on the chair and is tied with rope.

[LMG719Enterprise]

@happybuniek of a guy in a mustache

[NatalieandPhoebe]

Guys,did you see that flash! like it was a picture at 3:16

plus this worked too my mate:P

[mitcn012]

HELP!!!! STUCK TO TOILET. CALL 999!

[HattieHopkins]

The subliminal message is meant to be unknown to the conscious mind but I can see it so I am conscious of it. Basically it's the subliminal message that tells your unconscious mind to stay glued to the seat. It worked :)

[MrGreenSnot]

how can u watch it on t.v because it dosent work on the pc



[YoYoYamato]

I got stuck. 

[lost619]

I meant I watched the live version them catch up, Internet replications apparently don't work he said that on the show

[lost619]

When I did it first time it didn't work I tried it again on a hd tv and was interrupted I had to get up quickly so I didn't look stupid and it felt like I ripped something lol didn't hurt just felt weird

[stickmanymickmany]

Sucks that i am immune to stuff like this... :p

[OfficialMusicVideo11]

omggg omgg omgg i need help omg i cant move omggggg i cant get up plszzzz plszz help omgg

[mansbestfriend100]

@OfficialMusicVideo11 no, just no.

[folka18]

i actually wanted to be stuck i literally invited the message in yet it did not work i even tried it like 3 times but it didnt work and now im sad :(

[rawresomedan]

i just sat there leaning back and stuff and at the end i just got up

[TheBumbleBunny]

@rawresomedan me 2 :P But in another video he said that this will not work on youtube.

[Hazelhurstj]

I watched this live on TV and it did work for me, it was a very surreal experience however he did say that it was unlikley to work if you watch it on youtube, don't ask me why that is.

[tryingsomethingne]

didnt work

[MrBobopoe]

I couldn't get up, although I'm not sure how much it was that I couldn't be bothered to get up...

[Arcon1337]

Worked for me. Felt freaking awesome. I think what it does is that your tensing your body and a mixture of the subliminal messages to make your mind think that your should be in that position.

[swappydo]

It didn't work for me :(

[confusedfoil]

I DID NOT WORK!

[TheJoetebb]

you see the second subliminal message at 3:16

[Morgana450]

Does it work watching it on the comp? Or did you have to watch it live on tv?

[cookiegirl578]

it din't work for me

i am not one of those people who is easily controled :(

[ClanTNR]

I got stuck and now i need a shit........ Uhoh. Too late :-(

[SelasSolaris]

For all the people saying that it doesn't work, Derren Brown said at some point in the show that it would only work on T.V, so stop commenting about how it's fake because there's plenty of evidence to support that it did and does work.

[IceGeek911]

it didnt work for me?:L

[JAHR69]

I didnt fight or anything and it still didnt work :(

[ThePaperCreater]

Why was there a gay image of a man tied in a chair popping up every now and again..?

[MikeWmusic10]

Those of you with a well balanced, creative personality ? So basically if you don't fall for it your'e a cunt.

[BensTunes101]

damn i got stuck it was pretty cool :)!

[lee1lfc]

derren you son of a bitch im still stuck to my chair i havent eaten in 2 years

[patdaman2]

it worked 0-0 =) i was like scared couldn't stand i didn't know how

[kaitlynnwestwood]

Did not work baisically load of rubbish....X(

[deathseeker411]

i didnt get stuck but i felt really really weird. almost like dreaming

[Lazybabyz]

Derren did say, a few years ago, that he cannot manipulate everyone and that some people are naturally resistant to suggestion, manipulation and hypnotism.

[shock1881]

Probably only works on tv

[xxDiamond6xx]

Didnt work



[markey1221]

Just wasted 3 minutes 26 seconds of my life

[franticdiagnosis]

hey that was fun! he flashed a pic showing a man tied to a chair ......coincidence, i think not!

[912doctorwho]

it did not work on me but i feel heavier

[saintkarlos]

it worked on me the first time i watched this but i tried it again and it didn't work, was really impressed because i didn't think it would actually work =p

[SquirrelJedi]

I wanted it to work on me..but it didnt .. and is it just me, or is he incredibly sexy?

[Jeffrocks10]

it worked on me, but by the time it ended, i got up

[TheUnrecognisedBMX]

Poo that

[Wikibig]

Oh man! it didnt work on mee

[r34ct]

Part of the trick is that because you can't move your head, it's almost physically impossible to stand up from that position anyway (you'd have to lean forward)

[neaty10]

faaaiiiiiilllllllll

[iPh0neADDicT]

iv have been stuck for 2 years coz of this vid

[humouriseverything]

whats with the image that flashes up on screen it won't let me pause on it ,looks like a guy tied to the chair

[samuraimatt11]

@humouriseverything it is a subliminal message which stimulates you subconscious mind. it is a man strapped to a chair with rope but it is so quick because subliminal messages don't work if you know what they are hope this helps.

[samuraimatt11]

why isn't the reverse effect on here...i keep getting stuck to chairs when i sit on them.....HELP!!! =(

[MrMoomoo112233]

*on

[MrMoomoo112233]

Im not my 15th watch and still havant got stuck.

I would really like it to work, any tips?

[samuraimatt11]

@MrMoomoo112233 just concentrate on what he is saying and relax and keep repeating the things he is saying in your head. also make sure it is on the highest quality quite loud and FULL SCREEN is the most important bit...hope it helps

[TheMattyboy741]

didn't work :((

[Partyanimal2k9]

holy fucking shit help me help help!!! this is weird i don't like it.

[MrsNicNax]

It didnt work! :(

[OMGYoureOver9000]

it worked for me! it felt very strange, like I wanted to move but the effort to do so just wasn't there - like he said! how weird..

[IDontNotHaveAFace]

I had to smash the circle to get out.

[XxgabriellabxX]

it never works for me...

[TheMotherChristmas]

its ok to be stuck in a seat, but being stuck into a toilet seat O_O HELPPPP!!!!

[Nerdiamity]

HELP ME I'M STUCKED TO MY CHAIR D:

[noaddedsugar321]

worked for me, that was weird.

[MrsFunnyism]

At 1:13 he says rigidly stuck a picture of a man sat in a chair flashes up can someone tell me what that was for because it freaked me out.

[emz0bella]

@MrsFunnyism its a subliminal message. it kind of tricks your subconscious into doing what the image is, so the man sat in a chair would tell your subconscious to stay seated

[nanopakour]

doesnt work



[pauljones2685]

ive been stuck since christmas 2010 please help me!!

[kindaAtomic]

Worked Completely, I had to foce myself to move and it was quite hard but after about a minute I did it!

[t1mel1ne]

Not stuck to my seat, but couldn't lift either leg for about 5 seconds despite trying to, fucking weird!! Then I remembered which muscles to use and could lift them. really, really odd.

[nootkpr]

it sorta worked for me, it was fairly difficult to move. It took slightly more willpower than usual to move my arms and back but it came after about a minute

[Ei3x]

Oh wow only just noticed the picture of the man towards the end... Find the idea kind of creepy for some reason and kinda glad I'm not stuck.

[Ei3x]

I actually tried back when this was on the TV... but I never got stuck to the chair, LOL.

[14jackthelad]

the reason it's not working idiots because ur not allowing it too let ur body flow empty ur mind dont fight it when this was live it worked for me but it not working any more strange how darren did say if ur record this or try to watch it later it wont work :( 

[Silysophh1]

this is fukin shit mate!!!! wtf it dunt work

[Exomos]

I did this. I was late for work and got written up.

[jackcockela]

don't work for me

[komblo123]

it worked on my feet but the rest didnt... but its easy to unstick, just use your arm to shove your legs a bit and there u go...

[EpicDuck01]

I'm scared of doing this xD x

[sirNamkai]

It might be because I've watched it on a laptop, or maybe because I spotted all the subliminal messages. I followed all the rules and regs and what not about 'staying calm' and 'allowing it to work,' but I just sat right back up...

[Xx3anna3xX]

i felt sleepy, thenit worked for about 3 seconds, then i said ''FUCK THIS, IM HUNGRY!'' got up and made myself a sticky sandwhich. xD

[thegame02119]

Wo it worked great stuff dawg

[polosruletheworld]

and i also found the 1 at 3:15 btw....

TROLLFACE

[polosruletheworld]

I managed to pause it at 1:14 just when the picture flashes up on the screen....

good luck trying to see it.. cause I'm not gonna tell you what it is....

(troll face)

[JordanBiTCHVoase]

When i done it my respnse was 'oohhhh fuck' PMSL. That was strange x

[designkid5555]

OH MY FUCKING GOD IT ACTUALLY WORKED!!!!!!!! And I'm watching it on a computer....

[DanTheStripe]

@horsebella16 To unstick Derren plays a sound at the end.

[TheMissHughes]

IT WORKED !

[welshgirlism]

Mwahahaha! I finally Outsmarted Derren Brown!

[Doped2k7]

It worked for me

[113mrmuffin]

If you have an Internet tv, that's the only way if can work

[CarlR818]

It only works on tv because its a higher resulutions than if you were watching it on youtube

[Alex280zz280]

i sat there with my lapto right infront of me on my sofa and im not stck

[12robertmulligan]

it does not work,a few lines,how?

[CuriousWhale]

It'll only work on the very, very susceptible and suggestible people.

[EggyLad1442]

@CuriousWhale No, it works on open minded people, if you believe that statement you are close minded. Though a common characteristic on suggestible people is that they are open minded you will find that not all open minded people are suggestible.

[CuriousWhale]

@EggyLad1442 What you call open-minded I simply referred to as suggestible. The two are somewhat inextricably linked either way.

[mattjay1997]

Didn't work :(

[TheHitlar666]

didn't worked. stupid

[irishladcfc1]

thats not even fair man :( i really believed in it like he said and i was hoping for it to work! never did :(
