+epickei Do you get some kind of perverse enjoyment out of ruining jokes by attempting to "correct" them without actually adding any humor?

[@keisimmons]

John Snow lol its specifically bart that has that hair. chill bro

[@johnsnow2809]

epickei Yeah, no shit. Thanks for *explaining the joke*. It definitely adds so much to the humor.

[@keisimmons]

John Snow lol wouldve been a better jokeXD

[@Nicc93]

***** make sure your outside so people dont inhale that toxic shit

[@monkyshit420]

Inhaling the filter fiber glass fumes can basicly fuck your genitals up.

[@TheRealMkd1George]

How about I punch you in the face

[@stulieberman4773]

"Feel with your fingers how hard it is". lol

[@Hamma1340]

LOL...it was either me or you Stu that was going to make that comment...you bet me to it...lol

[@ttobyg]

"I don't want to light this end, it's gonna smell nasty" *proceeds to light the filter on fire*

[@matteblack5805]

After several minutes of trying to wipe the spider off my screen, I forgot what I was going to say.

[@HenrySd]

this guy obviously went through some kind of midlife crisis. just look at his hair!? its just shouting "look at me! im young!" lol

[@ConTheDon187]

"feel with ur fingers how hard thast is." She said, "oh my god." OH MY GOD SHE SAID!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@rexmarinus124]

Burn the filter with a lighter, soak your fingers in water and press the filter hard so it forms a blade. I saved you from loosing 12 minutes

[@MrRepid]

I'm so glad I kept on shuffling through the comments

[@arthuristehbest]

"I'll give you a clue... Use my hair"

[@scamschool]

hah

[@arthuristehbest]

Haha, sorry bro... It had to be said 😂😂 these videos are awesome btw and I don't give a shit about the adds, you deserve it 👌👌

[@W1se0ldg33zer]

You owe her a beer because you didn't cut a lime in half with a cig! You twisted it in half.

[@Warndog9]

"I don't want to light this because it will smell nasty" *lights filter*

[@Trauma4]

Warndog Exactly what i was thinking

[@androidtechnically3735]

id light the fillter flaten it boom i got a knife

[@yellowdough2001]

Warndog no, she was holding the non filter side when she said that, then flipped it... 3:05

[@scamschool]

randy joble This brought a genuine smile. Well played, sir.

[@ArkBeatsJS]

That hairstyle is called The Midlife Crisis

[@scamschool]

new around here, eh?

[@ArkBeatsJS]

I subscribed a while back, but for some reason your videos never pop up in my feed. I DO enjoy them, though. Sorry for the troll comment; but seriously, if you haven't changed your hairstyle by now, you really should. It's very Jersey Boys. That's the only reason I would make fun of it. I just think you would look a lot better with a more respectable haircut. However, everyone can and should do whatever they want with their own body without being tormented by others. So, again, I'm sorry for being insensitive. Loving your uploads that I've seen so far, though, if that's any consolation. Keep it up and I promise you I won't make any more lame troll comments. I was in a pretty vindictive mood at the time.

[@BonesBroken]

+John Simmons (ARK Jazz) Wow!! That is some astonishing grovelling for making a witty (OK maybe a lil bit sarky) comment. Cmon John, you're comment about his hairstyle was moderately bitchy at worst, saying sorry was nice of you however. Balls John, grow some....

[@BonesBroken]

PS. Snatch is a REALLY good film...

[@afrosamuri05]

That cigarette stunt that got sent into him via Email was probably someone doing time at a maximum security prison

[@scamschool]

[@puffolotti]

***** try and Google "Prisoner got four female guards pregnant"

[@idrees1995]

[@FappyCola]

Idrees Ahmed Ha, haha, pick up limes.

[@The391956]

I had no idea they allow smoking in prison, that does surprize me. I truly thought all Prisons have been non smoking prisons since the 1990s

[@Jan-mc3ee]

that's why cigarettes Are Not allowed in russian jails ;D

[@aaronsmeal4425]

Russians always find a way haha

[@4f52]

they can kill with poop

[@JDweapon2]

+Mike Username no,they just wanna smoke or burn something.

[@Resanctify]

+Itemtotem Tons of time on their hands with an occasional smart person going in.

[@lucaswingham3168]

I have gotten the dumbest, yet most impressive things from Scam School. I'm still getting the, "Aye, Cash! Duuude, light this match on your teeth! Oooh, ooh, now put it out with your tongue! Yeahaaahhh, maaan!"

[@rayota260]

i did this and told my mom she'd have to give me a steam card if it worked, it worked the hype is real

[@lhasalover5825]

I'm in my mid 50's. (hell time does fly), I smoked my 1st butt at 8yrs old. I didn't really state smoking seriously until I was in the 5th or 6th grade, (thats just the way it was in the late 60's everyone's parents and relatives smoked), and like all children we want to emulate our parents. When I say, I literally know thousands of people that have smoked for over 20, 30, 40, 50, even 60 and 70 years without ever getting cancer it's no over statement. Me, and my wife both come from very, (very) large Italian family's and all our parents, grand parents, great grand parents, aunts/uncles, cousins, smoke. All 4 of my grandparents smoked nonfilter cigs well into their late 90's. (Same with wifey) and not one died of lung cancer from cigarettes. My Father smoked until he was 84, and then died of colon cancer at 86. (There is a specific kind of cancer that cigaretts cause and none of them died from THAT kind of cancer. Truth is that most people are going to die from either cancer or heart failure anyway. Like I've stated before, I have 4 neighbors that were "nuts" about all this 2nd hand smoking crapola, and didn't allow people to smoke in their homes or cars, and they died of lung cancer, even though they harrassed every guest in their homes and made them go outside to smoke, (ridiculousness) My grandmother died from diabetes complications, and more or less "willed herself to death" after her leg was amputated. Refused to eat, or take meds anymore. I can't even count how many other relatives, and friends, and their relatives smoked for well over 20 or 30 years, without any cancers. Some quit do to buying into all the hype about cigaretts, killing you. I've smoked for over 35 years now, and I must confess, that I can't run as far or as fast as I used to be able to, but who can? Plus I was never a health nut to begin with. Like my Father used to say, "To much of anything will kill you, you have to learn to take everything in moderation." He'd say, even if you ate filet Mignon everyday of your life, it would wind up killing you. You have to have everything in moderation. Some steak is OK, some hamburgers is OK, some fish, some chicken, some pork, but if you make any one of those things your daily diet, they'll all kill you. He age a medium size plate of meat, potatoes, and a vegetable every day of his life, and I hop I live as long as he did. He wasn't over weight, wasn't bald, and still like to have 1 or 2 drinks every night of his life, no he never drank until he blacked out or puked, but he did drink and smoke every day of his life. He quite butts 1 or 2 years B4 he died. Because a Dr. scared him in one talk session. So DON'T BUY INTO THE HYPE PEOPLE. look around you, and observe all the people that smoke, and take mental notes of every that dies of cancer, what type, and who smoked, and who didn't. Because at this point in my 54 years on this planet, I've seem more people die from cancer that never smoked, than people who did. (go figure!)

[@lhasalover5825]

compared to the non smokers who bitch.... You gotta be kidding me!!! They bitch if I smoke on a mountain top, a beach, a side road, a main St. ... Really? Cmon

[@MBloke]

tl;dr: Not everyone who smokes dies of cancer. Genius observation.

[@GamingBaked]

Ur stupid. U dont get a specific type of cancer from smoking.. ur putting hundreds of chemicals into ur body and u expect it to only effects the parts it touched? (Ur lungs, fingers, teeth) thats just stupid..

[@elliotjrealtor]

You probably killed the neighbor from second hand smoking. Don't write the whole pro-smoking story when there are people who actually have gotten cancer and have died from smoking. SMH

[@GamingBaked]

Elliot Joseph lol i just responded to u on another threat on basically the same thing and reading this answers question i asked lol

[@warlord1981nl]

She doesnt want to light the tabacco because it smells nasty so she lights the plastic filter? ... Wow ...

[@jdfucclife6496]

Warlord1981NL not plastic you fucking idiot

[@theodorebelmont2181]

Wow this is from back when Scam School was more popular than Netflix

[@mibber121]

Actually hilarious that i came to this video from a video on Modern Rogue where Brian Brushwood (THIS GUY) talks about how its possible to make a knife from a filter, looked it up, found it on reddit, and was sent here! Brian needs to get out of my skull.

[@MsAlexRockhill]

WHY IS NO ONE COMMENTING ON HIS HAIR?! It's a knife by itself

[@ElleDeas]

Probably because this was 5 years ago.

[@jairassaad6019]

Those were dark ages

[@scamschool]

Very clever. You're the first.

[@ghostl337]

I never get pulled over for not wearing a seat belt in GTA.

[@ApparitionFVT]

Must've been one dedicated smoker with a beer, a lime, a pack of smokes, and no knife. No knife? No problem!

[@BlutRoyalElite]

"RAZOR sharp"

[@KingStix]

my life will never be the same

[@Sockboss1]

You know that your fingers don't have to be cold they just have to be wet right? The water serves as a layer of protection against the heat.

[@scamschool]

As a 20-year pro fire eater, I can confirm that's not true. Boiling hot water burns you just as well as a flame will.

[@Sockboss1]

It is true,the boiling water burning your hands is irrelevant in the grand scheme of things because it will still protect you from fire. Sure,if you had a choice it would be cool water but the temperature doesn't matter it is the water because it serves as a layer of protection against heat.

[@jackb7824]

Malibu Johnny His point is that the colder the water is, the longer it takes to heat up and thus the longer you can touch the cigarette without it burning you.

[@Sockboss1]

J Bridgeman You aren't understanding me Bridgeman. The reason you apply the water is so that the fire doesn't burn you not the water itself... Don't you get it? The water is just a layer of immunity from fire. The fire burns the water away. But as long as it is there your hand or tongue or whatever is protected.

[@cloak211]

Malibu Johnny J Bridgeman Scam School Malibu is right (sort of). The temperature doesn't matter too much because something super hot will evaporate the liquid at a similar rate anyways. What protects your finger is the Leidenfrost effect. You can touch something that's way hotter than the boiling point of the liquid your finger is submerged in. Someone please correct me if I'm wrong.

[@newcoyote]

Oh get ON with it. I love Shwood and the tricks and don't even mind the ads but by god they take forever to get to the point.

[@johnycannuk]

"Cigarette Shiv"..pretty sure I know where this trick originated...

[@InfectedFlourishing]

well look at the descrip.

[@Utubeuser1337]

"I don't want to light this end because it will smell nasty" So she lights the fiberglass filter instead, lol

[@JingleThug]

that's not how you open a pack of cigs.

[@EncontheCrow]

because they probably dont smoke and wont know the majestic secret of opening up cigarettes like a professional future lung cancer patient...oh and have horrible breath, but all together smell like shit. Think I hate smokers? well youd be right

[@EncontheCrow]

Mershaq G thats because you pay for a babysitter, and last time I checked you dont insult your employers unless you dont want a job. I dont need to know anything about you to know to know its a useless thing to say there is a specific way to "open" cigs. I also dont care about smokers they have a nasty habit much less health problems. Ill end with saying if you dont smoke cigs why do you even care what I say and I find it rather strange that you know the "in depth" info on how to properly smoke cigs from the start with opening them. Least I wasnt rude when talking to you sarcastic yes but telling me to fuck off wow.

[@EncontheCrow]

Hey Im not perfect I didnt realize you said baby sister I read too fast. So no not mentally challenged, and if you think someones retarded for little things like that to compare them to a mentally challenged person then you got problems.

[@JingleThug]

remember that all of this is because you were attacking smokers. I'M the rude person. Fuck off now please. I wont respond to your bullshit anymore

[@EncontheCrow]

no this is because you were saying pack of cigs have a way to be opened as if they are stupid and doing it the wrong so no you can fuck off thank you

[@Jivvi]

Love the way he goes "Well, yeah, you can light the cigarette," like he's thinking "why would you want to do that?" just to throw her off.

[@delreynolds1134]

Thanks Brian for giving a shit about ppl drinking and driving. Appreciate it brother. Had a lot of friends go out that way, unfortunately.

[@3limin4torZockt]

she lights the filter end because she doesn't want it to smell nasty LOL

[@nick197813]

While the videos are def informative.... They'd be a lot cooler if Brian would just cut to the chase and do the trick, I understand he has to plug whomever is funding the video, but there's still a lot of unfunny and unnecessary chit chat

You could actually use this on the streets to defend yourself. Against limes. (I'm kidding of course) Also, I know a way to avoid getting your hands burnt. Wear gloves. (I'm positive that almost everyone else thought of this, so that was probably useless)

[@loosingmymemory7]

This influences me to buy a tub of hair gel and go to the pub and try to poke lemons

[@desmondtester373]

why are the cigaret boxes not covered in images of destroyed lungs and yellowed teeth

[@elliotjrealtor]

One kind has a pic of mouth cancer

[@desmondtester373]

Elliot Joseph you think thats bad look at the ones we have here in canada

[@justinwilson4939]

Because everyone who smokes has been told by their parents, teachers, TV commercials, the written warning on the box, and probably all their friends and coworkers not to smoke. Every smoker knows that smoking is unhealthy and choses to do it anyway. But hey, maybe if there were just one more picture on the box...

[@desmondtester373]

Justin Wilson thats a reference to the Canadian cigarette boxes

[@desmondtester373]

[@ef2000123456789]

Barber: so what can i do for you? Brian: Vietcong spike booby trap Barber: say no more fam

[@hebbejebbe]

Spam throughout, didn't show the "scam" until several minutes into the video and the end result wasn't nearly as impressive as suggested by the presenter. The lime was not cut in half using a cigarette but rather scratched and the with a lot of physical effort twisted in half using hand. All in all bad viewing experience, thumbs down.

[@ElvenApollo]

welcome to the channel haha not worth a subscribe imo

[@tommycharles4666]

Still something you can't do with your hands alone.

[@TheBdemba16]

this is awesome, the filter is super hard, i would have never thought

[@smithsawesome]

Does Brian Brushwood ever get seriously drunk and attempt these tricks? That would be a funny thing to see!

[@TheKissBanana]

I love how Brian is so sarcastic. :DD

[@blackdog6969]

Gotta say, this is the first Scam Nation / Modern Rogue trick that I called from just the first few seconds. Guess it helped being a smoker that on occasion has light a smoke the wrong way and actually cut my lip trying to turn it around

[@DeadbeatChild]

I'd go up to a bar back and say, I'll give you a cigarette to cut this lime.

[@razatop429]

"Razor sharp knife"

[@guitarhero2004]

I hope nobody in prison watched this and learned how to make a quick shank lol

[@Chance844]

alright guys, im at 1:41 and i just heard the challenge. Cut the limes in half, with a cigarette. Something in my brain clicked, and im just going to say put the cigarette in between the 2 limes, because half of 2 is 1.. right? "Cut" the limes in "half" wish me luck! I feel confident and excited.

[@Chance844]

alright well... i thought i was smart..

[@andreas1235578]

LOL, you have right xD

[@Beforeyouandme]

Exactly 5:00 in, you're welcome.

[@ijazi7065]

You're awesome dude, keep going and best of luck with all your future videos! Also, I'm sure you already knew this, but she was clearly into you, kissing your lemons and everything (;. Take care, bruh!

[@idunno1396]

If you light the filter you can take the match pack, fold it backwards, and pinch the hot filter with it, and it will be strong and sharp enough to cut through a beer can!

[@petersmythe6462]

So THAT is why you aren't allowed to smoke in airplane bathrooms! XD

[@VeljkoMirkovic]

How..what...I don't even... it's ok, here's a cookie...
