I was counting the passes, while doing it i figured out something like "wait! this is a trap! they propably pass the ball to black team and I should not count th...wtf its damn Gorilla walking in there!'
Would have worked if it was disguised as one of the men in the background, but running straight through the middle?! Who is stupid enough to NOT see it!
The fucking comments ruined it. If I hadn't KNOWN a gorilla was in the video, it would've been worth it. Who else votes for YouTube to make it so you can't see the comments if you're scrolled all the way up?
@xlph The highest rated comment is one that mentions the gorilla, and the link I was clicking to get here from a different site was low on the page as I clicked it. It IS YouTube's fault, just like everything is. :P
@DerMorphy yes but I saw a Ninja and I counted 12 in my first watch, you people really thing that gorilla is a transsexual child? no way! disneychanel sucks an you know it.
I searched this video because Richard Dawkins, in his book "The Greatest Show on Earth" uses this test to demonstrate how eyewitness accounts are very unreliable.
Interesting, but I don't quite see how it proves anything.
@writersblock99 Me too! So much so that when the answer '13' popped up i was shocked that i had actually kept count correctly hahaha. Because I thought I spent a good 2-3 seconds going "Wtf?? Gorilla?"
I didn't miss the obvious. A black gorilla in a room with dim lighting and 4 people dancing around dressed all in black, while specifically paying attention to the people dressed in white, IS NOT OBVIOUS.
i watched one of these on channel 7 or was it 9 on crop circles and in that one a pilot was just standing in the middle this one he was just waving around heaps and the ball was behind the gorrilia thats what screwed it for me
Since the gorilla matches the black team's colors, it'd be easier to spot him if watching them. I spotted him the first time but lost track of the passes because of it.
thumbs up if u got here b cuz of temple grandin

Gaddang it I couldn't keep track of how many times the white team passed the ball. Some guy in a gorilla costume got in the way and distracted me.

that counts as "obvious"? when he's dressed in black, like half the others in the video, in a dimly lit, black-backdropped room?
i did see the gorilla, but it was far from "obvious" and proves nothing
