My heart broke a little watching that second one. I expected to laugh at the looney-tunes level plan paying off. Then you got the police guy explaining "these are people who've never won anything in their lives, and they've finally got the chance to be a winner and be somebody important"
Cops are hiredto be apathetic. You are correct to be empathic to people who the system failed them. Everyone should be a winner in a system that works. Since capitalism is theft, these class traitors are punishing the wrong people who are victims of institutionalized larceny.
Whenever I see this sort of thing on TV, where they call out the criminal from fairly far away, and then the criminal inevitably has all sorts of time to run, I always think, "There's no way police actually do that. If they just walked up beside the person first, it would be much harder to run away." But I don't know. Maybe police do it in real life, too.
Many/Most people become dishinibited in enthusiastic crowd enviornments. They become more suggestible, trusting.
Its a huge part of how group religious gatherings work.
A large concert is in many ways a secular, mass ritual gathering.
I think you could do something like this a considerable number of times.
How many people 'let loose' and do something they wouldn't otherwise normally do, at a concert?
All of those people would be likely to both keep attending these kinds of events and also fall for the exact same schtick, unless or untill a very, very broad social backlash essentially shamed them into not doing so.
Law enforcement use shout-out tactics to pick a suspect from the crowd. The singer was the investigator all along. He's also a beast at alto saxophone, and uses it to taunt his captures.
I don't think there's any link to Europe, unless I missed something

Maybe in Europe they don't do that thing at concerts where they ask only part of the audience to shout out?
Although I'm guessing they do that in Europe, too. My guess is that the person asking for an explanation just doesn't go to concerts like that, and so they think it's an American thing.
Am in Europe. The very few times I've seen them ask part of the audience to shout was a left/right thing where people sitting on the left wing were being put to compete with ones on the right wing to see who shouts more. But even that was very very rare.
Well, that's exactly what I'm talking about. They'll say left side, right side. Front, back. Locals, people who traveled from far away. Guys, girls.
It's just a way of increasing audience participation. Maybe the audiences in Europe are just naturally more fun, and so they don't need all of the prompting from the stage?
It could also be a linguistic barrier. If the singer is from the same country, they could get away with shouting "all girls scream", but they still risk not being understood by parts of the audience... When I've experienced it it was always visual, either it would be two different singers in charge of their own "area" of the public, or the singer would "move" right/left and "mimic" the specific part of the audience to scream (sorry English is not my native language so I'm not sure how to convey this...)
I was expecting the "Rick and Morty" bit where Rick uses complex conditions to slow down and stutter the simulation they (Rick and Jerry) are stuck in.

I need de-empathy classes or something.

Yeah, it's definitely a trope to make it obvious to the viewer what's happening, and of course, to build up drama.

I thought it was an American stereotype or something, like mid aged women in camrys honk a lot (so they like get back at her honkink in her ear).
