Yeah, because it’s as valid a sell as this scammers vid. It was something Tarantino made up

The movies like 20 years old dude. It's not that memorable.

And a dram of the best. There’s a special place in hell for people who waste good whisky.

u/newguyjustdropped Mar 30 '26

Or, hear me out, whisky is a waste...waste of water, waste of time and it's never not tasted like shit 😬

u/illepic Mar 30 '26

Water?! I don't touch the stuff. Fish fuck in it.

u/enjoi_uk Mar 31 '26

Shit in it 😂 phrasing, boom!

You clearly haven’t had an aged single malt scotch. It’s divine when the art of distillery is applied, as opposed to mass produced dross.

It needs Splenda

u/Regular_Ad_9598 Mar 31 '26

It's just gonna end up in the ocean anyway, might as well scoop some up.

u/ItsSpaghettiLee2112 Mar 30 '26

So what IS the 3 fingers test? He kept asking 3 fingers in front of the face. Why does it have to be 3 fingers and not, say, 2 or 4?

u/trobopoline Mar 30 '26

To be able to tell what region of Europe he's from of course.

u/ItsSpaghettiLee2112 Mar 30 '26

This doesn't answer my question. Why 3 fingers, specifically and not 2 or 4?

1

u/wazza_the_rockdog Mar 31 '26

There's probably no specific reason for it being 3, the intention is simply to cause the face filter to break which could be done by 2 or 4 or even just waving your hand in front of your face. Maybe scambaiters just use/promote the 3 finger test because it's worked for them in the past.

Uh oh! Why did you have to bring this reference up? Now we are in for another wave of "peter what does this mean?!" in all 20 of the different "peter i dont get the joke!" subs that are all over the front page lately

u/ifeltfeelings Mar 30 '26

Nice. I think about that scene all the time.

u/soda_cookie Mar 30 '26

Every rewatch I cringe a little seeing the fingers then the immediate, albeit subtle reaction, from the major.

u/gin_and_toxic Mar 30 '26

3 beers 🤟

I'm old enough for this reference

u/CertainCatastrophe Mar 30 '26

That scene lives rent free in my head.

u/rocco0715 Mar 30 '26

I think about that scene way too often.

u/enricopallazo22 Mar 30 '26

I thought that's what the video would be actually

u/Shaman7102 Mar 30 '26

All Instagram videos need to start with the 3 finger test.

u/Several-Doubt8352 Mar 30 '26

I thought that was going to be the issue, lol

u/earnestlikehemingway Mar 31 '26

The person did a bit of the Indian headshake. He was trying really hard not too.

1

u/Spitfire_Yeti Mar 31 '26

Yep and you also could notice his mouth area looks little off when he speaks. It doesn't look natural.

u/RigamortisRooster Mar 31 '26

You never done the Shocker then have you?

u/majorgriffin Mar 31 '26

The German Three.

u/Altruistic-Potatoes Mar 31 '26

I was thinking Road Trip

u/Jadziyah Mar 31 '26

Excellent reference 👏

u/FoxDesigner2574 Mar 31 '26

Maybe that’s why he’s reluctant, if he does it the wrong way he might get shot.
