Also, those are sit-ups. Not crunches. /Captain Pedantic, AWAY!

I think you can see the cord stretched tight beside the table in the very last shot. You can also tell by the speed it accelerates as it falls and the distance that it travels after it lands that it’s heavy enough to be real. I think the cord actually stops it from sliding further across the floor.
And did you see the size of that cat? Even if that’s only a 19″ screen that cat has to weigh 20lbs easily. That’s more than big enough to knock over something that’s not much heavier that it is.

No cord, too bouncy, much too easily knocked over by a cat, camera conveniently set up to capture the moment – yeah, I’m with csiegs – that TV is totally a HomeFill (TM).

I’m more suspicious about the fact that the TV is not plugged in, and indeed has no wires. Still: HILARIOUS.

Kind of looks like a cardboard prop TV? Like the ones they have in cheap furniture stores. It just bounces too much when it falls.

I definitely watched that way more times than necessary.

I love that the cat does not care one little bit that any of this has happened.
