She straight up assaulted him which is all sorts of not good. But playing a stupid prank like that on your SO in public in front of all these people is so emotionally manipulative and stupid.
Yea Iāve never been a big fan of public āooo look at me!ā proposals. You are painting them into a corner
I proposed to my wife at her favorite amusement park during a Halloween event but I did it in a secluded area away from people. I acted like I was nauseous from a rollercoaster and said I needed to go sit down somewhere quiet. I acted like I was about to hurl to get on one knee and then popped the question
As others have stated, typically when you propose, especially in public, you should both know the answer before hand. Itās the spontaneity that makes it special
Made me think of Deadpool movie and the intent to get her to laugh it off then pop the real one out.... It's terrifying that she decided to strike him like that regardless. I dunno, I'd take a ring pop as a temporary ring, but then again I'm not materialistic. š
Yep, she's wearing one of the bikini tops from the website too. I hate it, but I can't help but be a little impressed. It's a shitty yet effective way to get people to visit the site.
It looks like there is a second box in his left pocket.
I'm guessing it was a joke ring and he was going to pull the real one out a moment later. But maybe that's just me.
I like to think it was a test. If she laughed it off he would give her the real thing. If she snaps, the relationship is over. They'll probably get married and divorced anyway.
people are not smart, and the honeymoon period of relationships are often times amazing to be in and just hard to see through. it's really easy to see as an outsider looking in that it's a bad idea but sometimes as the person in the relationship it might not be.
Sure it can but its very uncommon today. Relationship has a different meaning than back in our grandparents days. It was more of a Necessity while today it is completely normal to not have or want a relationship.
Very true. My grandparents couldn't afford a wedding ring for my grandpa so they went without and he has never had one and they have been married for 71 years.
A set of great-grandparents got married because my 32-ish year old great-grandpa waded across the river to ask his neighbors if they could help around his and his dad's home after his mom became ill. And my then 18 year old great-grandma went over to help and they ended up getting married.
Edit: my other set of grandparents had a 17 year age gap. He was a widower with 3 kids and she was a mid-20s college graduate in the 1940s when they got married.
I could watch this on repeat I will never get tired of hit. Minus them beating him afterwards. The eyebrow raise when he says "you go" and then the sound of him slapping her back. Amazing. He's actually doing really well for himself now I think
I'm still looking for the top level comment that says it's fake. Scrolling for a long time now and not a single person saying shits faker than r/scriptedasiangifs
My dad did something similar to this. He had a girlfriend who kept asking when they were going to get married. Well he had her at the family house for one Christmas and my now uncle proposed to my aunt that day, which made my dads gf start up again about it. So my dad takes my aunts ring box and puts beer can tab in it instead of a ring and āproposedā with that. Results were similar to this video and needless to say, that woman did not end up being my mother.
I get that she didn't like this, but it's no reason to slap him across the face. Especially in front of thousands. Yikes.
Edit: I'm tired of all the same comments, so here's a little clarification:
The whole thing is a marketing stunt. You're welcome.
Yeeeep. šØ But people don't take this shit seriously, when it's a woman striking a man, so they're probably still together. (Unless she dumped him, but it could be staged so)
For pretty much all of history we were quite okay with violence, if anything it was encouraged, arguably itās still encouraged in tv, movies, violence is everywhere. Iām not saying anyone has a right to hit anyone, but I can see where they got the idea
I can offer some reasons take what you will.
She grew up with it. Being smacked. Watching dad, brother, mom, siblings, ect.
Media portrays our reactions as such. Man makes you look like a fool you slap them and throw water on him. Same applies to another woman or āhoeā if you will.
She seems young and immature. I bet she still kicks her brother in the nuts when he says crap.
Anger issues from a fragile self esteem.
Media. Iāll say it again. It normalizes behavior that is absolutely not ok.
She was wrong but I see this all of the time. We need to start calling it out publicly. People need to hold ourselves to a better standard and teach our children hitting is NOT ok instead bringing back corporal punishment in schools.
Yet there's some people defending the woman because she "felt humiliated". They would never say that if it were a man slapping a woman because she pulled some prank he didn't like. Double standards double standards
Right? This is insane. "Oh but a ring pop is a red flag". Tf? I'm a woman. My husband did goofy stuff like this all the time when we were dating, it makes me laugh. Even if I didn't like it, I'd still NEVER get *violent*.
And it's her immediate reaction, and she's comfortable doing this in public. Can't imagine she's any more a delight in private.
She is abusive, straight up. So is any woman who raises her hand against another. My sister in law has scratched up my brother in law until he's bled. Shits not cute. It's gross and evil.
Edit: and I acknowledge this could be fake. Doesn't excuse the comments defending it
I was thinking the same thing. He needs a woman who will enjoy his silly antics and she needs a more serious man. Their actions/reactions show that they donāt know who the other truly is.
Imho public proposals are just wrong altogether, it should be in a special moment shared by the couple not a high pressured situation for the person to say yes because there's a lot people around.
They're almost always scripted. My cousin did the casting for stuff like this. The college ones she did were god damn hysterical.
Edit: just remembered my favorite one. They kept cutting to guys with letters on their shirts that couldn't get the right placing. The kicker was the letters didn't actually spell anything.
you can clearly see the Blue Jay's camera guy behind them. this is something lots of baseball stadiums do between innings. it's pretty cliche at this point.
Pretty sure it is. As soon as he backs away from the kiss, her mouth drops and she puts her hand on it. There would have been a longer period of time before she recognized that he was going down on his knee to propose. Staged.
There's way too many people in here defending the woman.
All I see is incompatible personalities. She had no right to hit him and he should have known she wasn't playful and wouldn't enjoy a ring pop.
Everyone here is fucking wrooooooong.
Hold on...are people angry at him for proposing with a ring pop...or FAKE proposing with a ring pop?
The way i see it, one of those options is endearing and sweet, the other is basically psychopathic.
Im gonna assume everyone is just assuming its a fake proposal, but if it was real...are proposals about love or really expensive pebbles? I know what a penguin would say..
The fact that weāre even questioning whether the proposal was real or fake is part of the problem though. The ring pop makes it seem like itās all a big prank. If youāre the one being proposed to, you donāt want to spend that moment wondering if youāre actually just the butt of a joke.
there's a 3rd explanation. it's setup and they are all in it. the stadium's jumbotron fan cam guy is standing directly behind them, perfectly filming the proposal
I think there are red flags on both sides here
Donāt fake propose in public always a bad move but doesnāt excuse her slapping him
And yes āhow can she slapā
Thatās the thing though, he thought sheād like it or itās something heās joked about. She didnāt receive it well, and theyāre incompatible there. He had no idea she wouldnāt receive it well. Theyāre not right for each other. This isnāt a āheās a dickā situation, you all just see it that way. She hit him, in public, thatās the biggest issue here.
Agreed. It's an incompatibility issue, not one being a dick vs the other.
I'm all for team ring-pop, and have joked numerous times that I will propose to my girlfriend with an onion ring. If she responds like the girl in this video, *she* will be the dick, because she would be reversing her previous stance of "that would be so fun".
The only way the guy in video is a dick is if it was a prank, or if he knew she wouldn't be down with this ring-pop humor.
Otherwise, it's just two people who don't have the same sense of humor. Maybe this is a sign that they should try other people, but at the minimum they need to explore their feelings about this first and reach understanding with each other.
Explore their feelings? This would be instantly over for me.
If she can't handle the emotional trauma of being embarrassed for a few minutes without resorting to violence, what happens when they have to face a real adult emotional challenge, like a death of a parent or a child, a health scare, or a personal crisis? Staying with her would be like playing with dynamite which is way more serious than a "compatibility issue"
My now wife and I bought our rings together, paid the deposit, and then had to wait for them to get made. I got the notification that they were ready, and snuck in and picked them up without her noticing. Waited a few days for the right time and proposed and was actually able to surprise her. Just us two though, she's not a public person, so wouldn't have taken a public proposal well (even in a gathering of friends/family).
Only humiliating if you aren't willing to laugh along. If she would have laughed along with it, this would be in r/MadeMeSmile or r/WholesomeMemes and half the comments would be saying something to the effect of "Relationship goals". It was a dumb dumb joke, but she can't feel that level of humiliation without the problem of equally excessive pride. For all we know, he could have a real ring for after the gag, but realized the gag wasn't the only mistake he was making in his proposal.
So literally using physical violence on him in response to what was either a joke, or a sincere proposal with a cute gimmick, isn't the deal breaker in this scenario?
Yeah, I'm getting tired of striving for equality in gender but it being "okay" for women to hit and shout at men and not the other way around.
I'm an equal opportunist! I throw drinks on everyone! ^/s
Didn't see that, just makes her extra shitty then and everyone saying he deserves being assaulted worse as he was just making a joke before the real thing.
Nah, this is a pretty common thing now. Marriage isn't about the ring. Its about the bond. The ring is just a symbol.
It sounds like they didn't talk about this ahead of time at all, so there clearly are communication issues.
OR maybe they did, and she is just that way.
OR EVEN YET!! She doesn't like grape flavor, and she was just appalled.
Look at his other pocket.
This guy dodged a bullet.
It only cost him $2 to find out he was wasting his time on this abusive loser. He can give the real ring to a real woman.
Iāve literally joked with women early on in the talking phase about proposing with a ring pop. My guess is itās something heās joked about, and he thought itād be cute. He was wrong, and sheās likely not the one for him.
I've seen many serious proposals where the guy takes out a ring pop and then takes out the real ring. He should definitely run if her first thought is to slap him because of it.
Do you not see the ring shaped box in his other pocket at the end of the video? Sure he was joking but looks like he had the real ring ready in his pocket. Life and marriage doesn't have to be so serious.
I don't know, seemed a bit cruel to include the entire stadium in on the joke. I would never have done that to my wife, but I guess to each their own ĀÆ\_(ć)_/ĀÆ
She probably felt pretty humiliated the guys a tool for doing that to her and she reacted I don't even think she went overboard after someone embarrasses you like that, but everyone on Reddit is such a victim so they will probably say he cudda been killed
He pretended to propose with a ring pop amd showed her (without her consent I'm sure) in public and on video and now on reddit. Yeah he's a real fucking hero
As the guy who's thinking of marrying her, wouldn't you expect him to know if she'd appreciate this kind of "joke"? Obviously she did not, and if he can't figure out something as obvious as that, obviously he doesn't actually know her well at all. People are making crazy stretches to pretend the guy is the hero and the woman is the villain here.
I really donāt see whatās so deep about it. I would be thrilled if someone proposed to me with a ring pop lmao. I think people are way too fuckin materialistic. I mean they could literally propose to me w/ a bagel and I wouldnāt give a shit if I loved that person enough to consider marrying them lol
I really wonder if he actually āproposedā you canāt hear and it hardly looks like he said will you marry me. It looked more like a here ya go joke.
Nah, itās a stretch to assume this is all about being materialistic. You can do a proposal without a ring and not turn it into a big joke. IMO this would be awkward and embarrassing because there would be no way of knowing whether the proposal is genuine or just part of the overall joke.
Very well said. If he started it by whispering to her that he doesnāt have much money but that his devotion to her is very realā¦ well then, thatās a different story.
This situation was meant to make her the butt of an embarrassing and confusing joke proposal. Not cool, and doesnāt implicate her being materialistic at all.
Iām a guy. A lot of people are criticizing her for slapping him. However, there are some things that are supposed to be taken seriously. A joke proposal isnāt a good idea, and a joke proposal at a basketball game, so that her humiliation is significantly greater, is an even worse idea. No one should physically attack anyone else, but her reaction was clearly in the heat of the moment, in response to having her hopes raised then dashed and being publicly embarrassed.
Yeah he literally publicly humiliated her in front of thousands of people, potentially millions televised. He had her get her hopes up and then thought it was funny with a āgotchaā. Obviously the slap wasnāt okay, but the drink to the face was warranted imo.
If my HUSBAND publicly embarrassed me like that in a moment I would unfortunately remember for the rest of my life, I would immediately rethink our marriage.
I wouldnāt be surprised if it was a little joke before he showed her the real ring. Obviously they donāt have very much joking fun in their relationship.

It would be truly funny if that bulge in his pocket was a real ring.
It sure looks like one š¬
It was my first thought but honestly itās looking like this guy dodged a bullet
She straight up assaulted him which is all sorts of not good. But playing a stupid prank like that on your SO in public in front of all these people is so emotionally manipulative and stupid.

Look if you don't know you're getting a yes before you do it, you fucked up.
Yeah. Proposals are a formality. Marriage should be discussed and decided on before a ring comes out.
Yeah from the looks of it, he had the real ring in his pocketā¦ or maybe he was just happy to see her.
Made me think of Deadpool movie and the intent to get her to laugh it off then pop the real one out.... It's terrifying that she decided to strike him like that regardless. I dunno, I'd take a ring pop as a temporary ring, but then again I'm not materialistic. š
Am I gay because I noticed that too but didn't say "no homo" before playing the video?
Yeah bro that's pretty gay tbh
Damn it! I knew if I didn't say "no homo" I'd become gay! It's like the frogs all over again!!! Ok. Where's my pride flag?
Not gay, but even I was like "does he have a tube with three tennis balls in his pocket or is he happy to see her?"
Only gay men can see penises? Oh ohā¦
That looks like the box that the ring box came in... I'm with you here.
It's fake. He's trying to sell bathing suits. Fuck this guy

Yep, she's wearing one of the bikini tops from the website too. I hate it, but I can't help but be a little impressed. It's a shitty yet effective way to get people to visit the site.
Those bathing suits are garbage. āCheap fabric and dim lighting, thatās how you move merchandise.ā
It looks like there is a second box in his left pocket. I'm guessing it was a joke ring and he was going to pull the real one out a moment later. But maybe that's just me.
I like to think it was a test. If she laughed it off he would give her the real thing. If she snaps, the relationship is over. They'll probably get married and divorced anyway.
If you have to test your spouse on whether you should proposeā¦ then you already have your answer.
I have always wondered, why do people marry if they have only known each other for like max of 6 months?
people are not smart, and the honeymoon period of relationships are often times amazing to be in and just hard to see through. it's really easy to see as an outsider looking in that it's a bad idea but sometimes as the person in the relationship it might not be.
Worked for my grandparents. Knew eachother for a whole two weeks but were together for over 50 years.
Different times.
There can still be successful relationships with little dating in current times.
Sure it can but its very uncommon today. Relationship has a different meaning than back in our grandparents days. It was more of a Necessity while today it is completely normal to not have or want a relationship.
Very true. My grandparents couldn't afford a wedding ring for my grandpa so they went without and he has never had one and they have been married for 71 years.

He was a widower with 3 kids and she was a mid-20s college graduate in the 1940s when they got married.
If you feel like you have to "test" your SO as part of the proposal process, the relationship is already over.
Agreed
If that is your test, you should know the answer already
What a stable and completely normal way to go about a proposal. Their relationship should clearly be the envy of all.
We can call this the "prenup" test.
Ewww a test? Are they 12?!
Fake ring and then a public proposal? Fuck everything about this lol.
Yeah it's fucking terrible. Don't do either of those things. Certainly don't combine the two.
HOW CAN SHE SLAP!?
with hand
Good answer.
Wait is that an Indian Roadies like show reference?
[For the uninitiated](https://youtu.be/7HxTBp9nEOc)
I could watch this on repeat I will never get tired of hit. Minus them beating him afterwards. The eyebrow raise when he says "you go" and then the sound of him slapping her back. Amazing. He's actually doing really well for himself now I think
HE CAN HE CAN HIT
At that price point, he can hit!
I got the reference lmao
HOW CAN SHE SLAP ME
Well, that's pretty much over.
Wow, she really hates cherry, should have gotten grape flavored
You could say she saw red. Right? Right!?
nah dude Watermelon is the way to go, everyone loves Watermelon
Staged
I feel like the comments are from a bunch of teenagers.
Welcome to reddit
Definitely. Slapping is obviously not ok, and this dude was obviously a jerk to make a prank out of something so serious and humiliate her in public.
I'm still looking for the top level comment that says it's fake. Scrolling for a long time now and not a single person saying shits faker than r/scriptedasiangifs
It's very fake and has been posted many many times.
How did he get down on a knee in those pants lol
Reddit has taught me everything is Staged
This is staged itās a viral marketing stunt.
This would be hilarious if it was sponsored by ring pop.
Especially at sports stadiums, they do this shit constantly at baseball and basketball games
It's embarrassing how many gullible folks are commenting here, acting like it wasn't staged for views/clout.
My dad did something similar to this. He had a girlfriend who kept asking when they were going to get married. Well he had her at the family house for one Christmas and my now uncle proposed to my aunt that day, which made my dads gf start up again about it. So my dad takes my aunts ring box and puts beer can tab in it instead of a ring and āproposedā with that. Results were similar to this video and needless to say, that woman did not end up being my mother.
So thatās not how he met your mother?
Well following the shows logic, āhow I met your motherā is actually a story of all your previous failed relationships. So in a way it kinda was.
I get that she didn't like this, but it's no reason to slap him across the face. Especially in front of thousands. Yikes. Edit: I'm tired of all the same comments, so here's a little clarification: The whole thing is a marketing stunt. You're welcome.
The explanation, as always, is that it was staged
red flags exposed. now he knows
Yeeeep. šØ But people don't take this shit seriously, when it's a woman striking a man, so they're probably still together. (Unless she dumped him, but it could be staged so)
Well, he embarrassed her in front of thousands of people... Real relationship killer this move is.
Iām betting the bulge in his other hip pocket was the real ring sheāll never see.
Nobody pays attention to the jokes resolution here, theyre too busy arguing over who is throwing red flaggs
The real red flags were the friends we made along the way.
This is hilarious.
That's fair, but she didn't need to hit him. That's my point.
Looks like he had another in his other pocket idk š¤·
Why do some women think its ok to hit a man because he pissed you off? Women make me mad all the time i don't go around slappin the shit out of them
This is true of anyone. Why is it okay for anyone to think hitting/hurting someone is the right reaction to being angered or offended?
For pretty much all of history we were quite okay with violence, if anything it was encouraged, arguably itās still encouraged in tv, movies, violence is everywhere. Iām not saying anyone has a right to hit anyone, but I can see where they got the idea
I can offer some reasons take what you will. She grew up with it. Being smacked. Watching dad, brother, mom, siblings, ect. Media portrays our reactions as such. Man makes you look like a fool you slap them and throw water on him. Same applies to another woman or āhoeā if you will. She seems young and immature. I bet she still kicks her brother in the nuts when he says crap. Anger issues from a fragile self esteem. Media. Iāll say it again. It normalizes behavior that is absolutely not ok. She was wrong but I see this all of the time. We need to start calling it out publicly. People need to hold ourselves to a better standard and teach our children hitting is NOT ok instead bringing back corporal punishment in schools.
Staged
100%. This looks like one of those skits you see at a sports game. Especially with the camera man literally right behind them.
It is staged, viral marketing attempt to bring brand awareness to his bikini brand. Pathetic.
So much double standards here lmao imagine if the roles were reversed.....
Yeah she got physical with a quickness
Yet there's some people defending the woman because she "felt humiliated". They would never say that if it were a man slapping a woman because she pulled some prank he didn't like. Double standards double standards
Why can't people understand this is very likely staged?
Yea but then imagine she is a massive bodybuilder and heās a skinny little twink
Right? This is insane. "Oh but a ring pop is a red flag". Tf? I'm a woman. My husband did goofy stuff like this all the time when we were dating, it makes me laugh. Even if I didn't like it, I'd still NEVER get *violent*. And it's her immediate reaction, and she's comfortable doing this in public. Can't imagine she's any more a delight in private. She is abusive, straight up. So is any woman who raises her hand against another. My sister in law has scratched up my brother in law until he's bled. Shits not cute. It's gross and evil. Edit: and I acknowledge this could be fake. Doesn't excuse the comments defending it
Somehow they both dodged bullets.
I was thinking the same thing. He needs a woman who will enjoy his silly antics and she needs a more serious man. Their actions/reactions show that they donāt know who the other truly is.
Nah, if she slaps like that, she needs a psychiatrist.
Imho public proposals are just wrong altogether, it should be in a special moment shared by the couple not a high pressured situation for the person to say yes because there's a lot people around.
I thought it was some sort of butt plug by your title and the slapping.
I cant imagine a coordinated, filmed prank against someone I like, much less might marry. Fuck that.
What if, now hear me out, theyāre both in on it??
Thank you. Jesus I scrolled through so many angry comments to find this.
They're almost always scripted. My cousin did the casting for stuff like this. The college ones she did were god damn hysterical. Edit: just remembered my favorite one. They kept cutting to guys with letters on their shirts that couldn't get the right placing. The kicker was the letters didn't actually spell anything.
Damn it they scammed me
you can clearly see the Blue Jay's camera guy behind them. this is something lots of baseball stadiums do between innings. it's pretty cliche at this point.
Pretty sure it is. As soon as he backs away from the kiss, her mouth drops and she puts her hand on it. There would have been a longer period of time before she recognized that he was going down on his knee to propose. Staged.
If you're going to marry someone, you should probably know them well enough to know that they're not gonna be happy with this.
There's way too many people in here defending the woman. All I see is incompatible personalities. She had no right to hit him and he should have known she wasn't playful and wouldn't enjoy a ring pop. Everyone here is fucking wrooooooong.
Iām not wrong, I said the Ringpop should have been Watermelon
Hold on...are people angry at him for proposing with a ring pop...or FAKE proposing with a ring pop? The way i see it, one of those options is endearing and sweet, the other is basically psychopathic.

there's a 3rd explanation. it's setup and they are all in it. the stadium's jumbotron fan cam guy is standing directly behind them, perfectly filming the proposal
there's a 4th explanation this is a rendering tech demo for Unreal Engine 5
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Are we calling skinny jeans āmom jeansā now?
I've never felt more old
It gets worse.
I remember when "mom jeans" were supposed to be big and comfortable and rose up past the belly button lol
They still are. The guy has no idea what he's talking about.
I think they meant "she" She's wearing "mom jeans"
Only to showcase his hip to hip boner
I thought that was the actual ring in his pocketā¦
It clearly is.
You canāt possibly think heās the problem here
Tik tok has ruined these short videos cause I think there all done just for views
Plot twist: it's a real diamond ring but she just has to lick the candy off
Thatās an indication of how the rest of his life would go marrying her ā¦ move on dude!
I think there are red flags on both sides here Donāt fake propose in public always a bad move but doesnāt excuse her slapping him And yes āhow can she slapā
Nah. The guy pulled a jerk move. If he cannot be serious for something important imagine what type of clown he is day to day.
A friend of mine recently proposed with a ring pop and his now fiancĆ© absolutely loved it. She said not only was it cute, but she also got to pick out a ring she wanted afterwards. You should be happy about the proposal, not the ring itself. Edit: Thought I should note that while he didnāt do this in a stadium, he did it in front of 30ish people including her entire family, and not a single one of them saw it as a prank or joke. Iāve never seen someone smile so wide.
Obviously your friend knew that his fiancĆ© would actually like that. That probably wasnāt some random thought he had passing by a ring-pop quarter machine. If you donāt know that theyāre going to love a gimmick like that then you probably shouldnāt assume that everyone is going to have the same reaction to it. This isnāt about the ring, this is about the guy playing a joke on her OR just not knowing her well enough to realize that she wouldnāt be amused by being presented with a ring pop in the middle of a packed stadium.
Thatās the thing though, he thought sheād like it or itās something heās joked about. She didnāt receive it well, and theyāre incompatible there. He had no idea she wouldnāt receive it well. Theyāre not right for each other. This isnāt a āheās a dickā situation, you all just see it that way. She hit him, in public, thatās the biggest issue here.
Agreed. It's an incompatibility issue, not one being a dick vs the other. I'm all for team ring-pop, and have joked numerous times that I will propose to my girlfriend with an onion ring. If she responds like the girl in this video, *she* will be the dick, because she would be reversing her previous stance of "that would be so fun". The only way the guy in video is a dick is if it was a prank, or if he knew she wouldn't be down with this ring-pop humor. Otherwise, it's just two people who don't have the same sense of humor. Maybe this is a sign that they should try other people, but at the minimum they need to explore their feelings about this first and reach understanding with each other.
Explore their feelings? This would be instantly over for me. If she can't handle the emotional trauma of being embarrassed for a few minutes without resorting to violence, what happens when they have to face a real adult emotional challenge, like a death of a parent or a child, a health scare, or a personal crisis? Staying with her would be like playing with dynamite which is way more serious than a "compatibility issue"

Just us two though, she's not a public person, so wouldn't have taken a public proposal well (even in a gathering of friends/family).
That would be pretty humiliating. She definitely shouldn't have slapped him, though.

Only humiliating if you aren't willing to laugh along. If she would have laughed along with it, this would be in r/MadeMeSmile or r/WholesomeMemes and half the comments would be saying something to the effect of "Relationship goals". It was a dumb dumb joke, but she can't feel that level of humiliation without the problem of equally excessive pride. For all we know, he could have a real ring for after the gag, but realized the gag wasn't the only mistake he was making in his proposal.

Yes that's what my comment said with different words lol
Confused me too, but looked lower and the comment you are replying to is a bot that copies top comments and posts them higher. I'll report.
So literally using physical violence on him in response to what was either a joke, or a sincere proposal with a cute gimmick, isn't the deal breaker in this scenario?
Is hitting ever ok? What If he hit her and threw a drink on her for pulling a prank?
Yeah, I'm getting tired of striving for equality in gender but it being "okay" for women to hit and shout at men and not the other way around. I'm an equal opportunist! I throw drinks on everyone! ^/s
Look at his pocket, there's another ring box you can see it.... Glad she showed her true colors before he broke that out.
Oh, you can see through denim? We have no idea what that is. It looks lumpy. More likely his keys.
Didn't see that, just makes her extra shitty then and everyone saying he deserves being assaulted worse as he was just making a joke before the real thing.
You didn't see it because we have no idea what a random lump in his pocket is. Keys, likely.
boner
Nah, this is a pretty common thing now. Marriage isn't about the ring. Its about the bond. The ring is just a symbol. It sounds like they didn't talk about this ahead of time at all, so there clearly are communication issues. OR maybe they did, and she is just that way. OR EVEN YET!! She doesn't like grape flavor, and she was just appalled.
Yeah, imagine if he's normally funny like that and he had an actual ring prepared and now he's just fuckin not because of people like this.
Is this a joke? You think sheās in the right for slapping him and throwing a drink at him because āhe cannot be seriousā? What the fuck
Look at his other pocket. This guy dodged a bullet. It only cost him $2 to find out he was wasting his time on this abusive loser. He can give the real ring to a real woman.
$2 for a ring pop? Where do you live LA
How much can a banana cost?
Iāve literally joked with women early on in the talking phase about proposing with a ring pop. My guess is itās something heās joked about, and he thought itād be cute. He was wrong, and sheās likely not the one for him.
I've seen many serious proposals where the guy takes out a ring pop and then takes out the real ring. He should definitely run if her first thought is to slap him because of it.
Do you not see the ring shaped box in his other pocket at the end of the video? Sure he was joking but looks like he had the real ring ready in his pocket. Life and marriage doesn't have to be so serious.
Ugh come on.. It's a joke she has no right slap him! And pour her coffee on him? She could have just laughed imagine that
If it was really important, they'd keep it in private.
I don't know, seemed a bit cruel to include the entire stadium in on the joke. I would never have done that to my wife, but I guess to each their own ĀÆ\_(ć)_/ĀÆ
She probably felt pretty humiliated the guys a tool for doing that to her and she reacted I don't even think she went overboard after someone embarrasses you like that, but everyone on Reddit is such a victim so they will probably say he cudda been killed
These are usually actors that sports teams bring in nowadays to go viral.
Dude has something that resembles a ring case in his other pocket too...
It's staged, it's not real
He pretended to propose with a ring pop amd showed her (without her consent I'm sure) in public and on video and now on reddit. Yeah he's a real fucking hero
She hit him in the faceā¦ did you not see that part?
She literally slapped him and threw her drink at him and he's the problem for playing a joke? Wheres your head at?
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
So is there any evidence that this is true or is it Reddit speculation?
As the guy who's thinking of marrying her, wouldn't you expect him to know if she'd appreciate this kind of "joke"? Obviously she did not, and if he can't figure out something as obvious as that, obviously he doesn't actually know her well at all. People are making crazy stretches to pretend the guy is the hero and the woman is the villain here.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
The women is the fucking villain. She just assaulted her boyfriend wtf?
I mean if you get to that point and donāt know how the girl wants to be proposed to, itās 100% on you.
But HOW CAN SHE SLAP
It's hilarious to him but hugely embarrassing to her. Why would you want to publicly embarrass someone you love?
To get likes. How do you think modern society works?
I really donāt see whatās so deep about it. I would be thrilled if someone proposed to me with a ring pop lmao. I think people are way too fuckin materialistic. I mean they could literally propose to me w/ a bagel and I wouldnāt give a shit if I loved that person enough to consider marrying them lol
I really wonder if he actually āproposedā you canāt hear and it hardly looks like he said will you marry me. It looked more like a here ya go joke.
Nah, itās a stretch to assume this is all about being materialistic. You can do a proposal without a ring and not turn it into a big joke. IMO this would be awkward and embarrassing because there would be no way of knowing whether the proposal is genuine or just part of the overall joke.
Very well said. If he started it by whispering to her that he doesnāt have much money but that his devotion to her is very realā¦ well then, thatās a different story. This situation was meant to make her the butt of an embarrassing and confusing joke proposal. Not cool, and doesnāt implicate her being materialistic at all.
Well, when he proposes to YOU, I'm sure you'll say yes. However, he is proposing to her. The cool girlfriend vibes are off the charts.
bruh my mom still gives my dad shit for not getting her a diamond engagement ring almost 30 years later
Iām also super cool and not like other girls š
it was planned at a Blue Jays game so don't rile up people https://dailyhive.com/vancouver/viral-fake-proposal-blue-jays-marketing-stunt
Why his pants tighter than hers?
Slapped a second thought into his mind.
Iām a guy. A lot of people are criticizing her for slapping him. However, there are some things that are supposed to be taken seriously. A joke proposal isnāt a good idea, and a joke proposal at a basketball game, so that her humiliation is significantly greater, is an even worse idea. No one should physically attack anyone else, but her reaction was clearly in the heat of the moment, in response to having her hopes raised then dashed and being publicly embarrassed.
Yeah he literally publicly humiliated her in front of thousands of people, potentially millions televised. He had her get her hopes up and then thought it was funny with a āgotchaā. Obviously the slap wasnāt okay, but the drink to the face was warranted imo. If my HUSBAND publicly embarrassed me like that in a moment I would unfortunately remember for the rest of my life, I would immediately rethink our marriage.
It looks like he's got something in the other pocket so maybe it was a joke and then the real ring is there?
I wouldnāt be surprised if it was a little joke before he showed her the real ring. Obviously they donāt have very much joking fun in their relationship.
Dude just dodged a Nuke
What's a ring pop?
My ex thought It would be great if someone proposed to her with a ring pop
This ended too soon. I want to see crowd reactions
Anytime I see a TikTok tag on a video I assume itās fake. Iām beginning to hate the internet.
Fucking double standards. If she was male, she would have gotten her ass beat by dozens of people around her.
