Alternatively the "server" is an extra who has gone through make-up and costume, given a prop called "tar toast". He gets lost and spots his handler. He walks up to his handler asking where he needs to be and someone interrupts, asking what he has. He answers honestly and turns back to his handler to see where he needs to go. In that time the gentleman takes and bites into a tar toast.

[@Lynwood_Jackson]

A person seeing food on a tray may or may not ask what it is before eating it because context would suggest it is edible. If they do ask, there's a good chance that the person doesn't listen to the response; they were asking purely as a setup to eating whatever is on the tray. They may not have heard what Trevor said and they may not have connected what he said to what "tar toast" is until it was too late. I would probably put fault at 95-5.

[@kairuw6477]

I would agree, many would likely ask but not all people would either. Some braver people just trying whatever and asking more after if they like it etc.

I could see where a miscommunication could totally take place.

[@Grinthex]

Trevor is, in my opinion, at least 70% at fault due to the nature of his uniform, the serving platter, and environment. It is reasonable to assume a dish is safe to consume, regardless of what it looks like and its name. Especially since there are dishes that are designed to look like things in edible, and are named after things that may not be edible. Also there is a dish called steak tartare. Which would add to the believability that a dish could be called tar on toast. Never mind I changed my mind he's at least 85% at fault.

[@twilightsparkle75]

[@hambor12]

You can’t destroy performance art of that nature considering that the reaction of observers and participants and the act of serving the poison is what constitutes the art, moreso than the poison itself. However unless the “participant”/victim signed a waiver and was warned of the events beforehand The artist is still liable, art or not.

[@MrMangarillo]

in defense of Trevor, He always wears that suit as shown in the second part of the video, head did not wear it with the intention of tricking anybody. The party seems to be a gathering of movie industry types, and in movies they often have non-edible prop food in order to film a scene (eg. fake ice so it doesn't melt halfway through the scene). the people at the party, being in that industry, would most likely be aware of that possibility as demonstrated by Sam who said yuck when told what it was. edit: this is not legal advice, I am not a lawyer

[@AintNoRobutt]

If the fancy event had security wouldn’t it also be partially their fault for letting someone who isn’t staff dressed as staff into the party? Also just the mechanics of it he probably walked into the party holding the tar toast unless he made it at the party. Ultimately I’d say 70% Trevor, 15% security if they let him in with the tar toast/outfit, 5% other staff who should have alerted security that someone was carrying around inedible substances dressed as a waiter, and 10% the victim

[@lq7777]

Honestly, I wouldn't assign any blame to the victim. Its quite reasonable that one would think "Tar Toast" is just a name and not actually Tar on Toast. That said, I hadn't thought about Security. They definitely deserve some blame.

[@Lynwood_Jackson]

Cold tar may not have a strong smell like hot tar does. Depending on how dry it is, I could see mistaking it for dried meat, dried fruit, or dark pâté that's been sitting out too long. Given the low light, I think you are more likely to misidentify what's on the toast.

[@SaberRiko]

@@Lynwood_Jackson Maybe, I wouldn't at least, I can smell the difference between flat soda and non, so I don't think hot vs cold matters. Like maybe if you didn't go out of your way, but bringing it up to your nose with a well working sense of smell, I don't think I would at least.

Here’s a legal question: At my job, we’re allowed to listen to music while working. However, we can only have one earbud in at a time. The reason given is so that we can, “hear the fire alarm in case it goes off”. My question is.. if a worker suffered catastrophic injury due to a fire, and claimed they couldn’t hear the fire alarm go off due to music playing in their ears, would they have any basis for a lawsuit against the company?

[@chickenlittle5095]

IMO fire alarms (especially those in work settings) cut through ANYTHING you may be listening to.

Firecode for building over a certain size require lights when sprinklers and alarm go off. So it probably wouldn't hold up even in a civil case as those lights are super bright when they go off.

Already a good video one minute here hi from Austin!

[@risingtide117]

The two weeks later bit does add an important detail. It shows that Trevor regularly wears a server like outfit as his daily attire. I think a good lawyer could get that percentage fault down below 51%, as Trevor volunteered the information when asked and at no point expressly acted in such a way as to offer the tray to someone. Specifically, he didn’t extend the plate to anyone that we saw, and the tar was taken off his person while he was distracted. Presumably, if he had watch someone take his tar toast, he would have intervened.

Trevor would’ve loved this; I would have loved to see/hear his reaction

[@micheallinne3159]

I think he's 100% at fault. He not only dressed similar to a waiter and carried around a serving platter with the toast with tar on it, his body language also indicated he was handing it out to people. He did not hold it in front of him to keep it to himself, he held it out in other people's reach. He did not pay any attention to it or otherwise show any ownership of it or desire to do anything with it or keep it. He even answered what it was when asked without pulling the platter away and keeping it with him when he turned away from the party guests. He fully presented himself as a server and it is simply unreasonable to expect someone who sees someone else who 100% appears to be serving something to ask that person if they are a server before assuming they are and taking the food that appears to be being served to them, especially when it was presented with a conceivably reasonable name for a food that's meant to be eaten. It was called tartoast, not tar on toast, and nobody would ever assume you would put actual tar on toast in the first place. By all indications he appeared to be a waiter serving a reasonable food with reasonable food standards, yet he was a guest poisoning another guest. Even if it was unintentional, he is so unreasonable in 3 separate categories in which you would expect a party guest to act, that you could not at all expect another guest to think for 1 second that he might be a guest instead of a waiter after all.

[@circeciernova1712]

One way of looking at the events here: Many automotive fluids come in cans much like the aluminum cans used for beverages - same tab-open system, the whole nine yards. If somebody's car is having trouble, maybe I ask to borrow a tray and use it to carry a variety of fluids to that car. Let's say someone approaches me and asks "What is that?" I say, "it's power steering fluid in the red cans, synthetic motor oil in the yellow cans, and antifreeze in the blue cans." He then takes, opens, and begins to consume one of the cans in the span of two (2) seconds. Have I acted wrongly? Does this case deserve a similar ruling? If so, why are the similarities between the case shown and the case I described more important than their differences? If not, then what distinction(s) lead to a dissimilar ruling?

Objection, Tom the follow up scene is further evidence that the Tar-Toast man chooses the outfit closely resembling or matching the catering company’s staff as his regular formal business attire. The fact you would ignore the value of this evidence is baffling, and I only hope that the KZbin comments jury also understands that this was simply an unfortunate event caused by the negligence of a single man who did not only ate tar but did so without question… and this man is not the one carrying a platter of actual street tar on toast.

Does it change anything that the first waiter had a towel on his arm and Trevor did not, differentiating him from the wait staff?

[@stonersteve420il6]

I fucking love wkuk been watching them for years this video definatly caught me off guard

[@richardbarber3806]

Could it be said that the one that ate the toast was socially obligated to eat with out asking based on the nature of the event? Would that argument carry any weight?

[@sideways5153]

I’d say it’s like 85-95% on the waiter guy, depending on whether the venue or the real catering company are also named in a suit. Finger food like that is generally made to be stuffed into your mouth without even looking at it, and bothering to ask what it is would generally be a formality or a way to keep track of what you like so you can get more later. In addition, the body language of the fake waiter, the visible matching of his clothes with the uniform of the catering staff, the fact that the tar was literally spread onto a food product, and the fact that this was an influential and powerful person attending a social function for the same company/social circles where he has so much power and influence all put the fault in this case very, very much on that fake waiter. The defense that “he said it was tar toast” really doesn’t hold up to scrutiny when he literally said the word “tar” a single time while impersonating catering staff, carrying tainted food around, and making that food accessible to anybody willing to grab it and bite down unwittingly.

If Trevor can prove that his choice of clothing at the event is his usual daily attire and not worn with the intention to impersonate wait staff, would that change anything?

[@lq7777]

IANAL, but I would think that if it could be proven he intended to impersonate wait staff, that could change it from mere negligence to criminal as that implies intent. Might make a difference in the amount of money the victim gets and even whether or not the VP could be criminally prosecuted.

Smell before eat has always been an important rule in my life.

[@michaelsamples5810]

This is definitely interesting. My thoughts is that Trevor does not have the greater fault here. First, with his suit, its possible its the only one he had or didnt know thats what the wait staffed looked like Secons, why was he carrying the tray? You could say that he got himself food, or he was cleaning, maybe. My real question is why would someone just eat food they don't know, especially with the name "tar toast". You wouldnt eat ants on a log if you didnt know what it was. Youd ask what it was. True, Trevor did not try to stop him, but it could be argued that he shouldn't have taken anything off of anyones tray without asking. . Definitly an interesting case, id like to hesr your guy's opinions on this

[@JimmyCarterAkaBrandon]

Tom really does read the comments

[@REDMOONI03]

Has he reacted to the trial of the Ghostbusters in Ghostbusters 2, as I would love to see him react to that if he hasn't yet.

[@parkscout93]

Ooh, since we’re on WKUK, can I get a lawyer reacts to Get a New Daddy?

[@jordanhoman0212]

If someone was walking around serving oysters, you don't eat the shell. Tar toast could be similar where the bread is toasted with hot tar, and you're supposed to remove the tar before eating the toast. I know, sounds weird, but people put leather in wine so you never know what could be considered fine dining.

[@kevinclause4p55p5]

No reasonable person would swallow or continue to chew because tar toast is rock hard and tastes awful. The "victim" went through a lot of effort to hurt themself.

When I was kid, made cookies with hardening dough. Decorated them for Christmas, watched my cousin try to eat one. Hilarious 😆
