What do you think the most powerful moment in Shut Up And Dance Is? Do you agree with me?

[@Fredson78]

I agree. That ending really made that scene with the little kid earlier on very creepy.

[@allygurngemoeder2795]

Yeah i agree. Because they make us think he's just some poor guy that didn't do anything wrong. Other than that other guy that cheated on his wife. The ending hits hard because a lot of his "odd" behavior we over looked. Yet they make us sympathize with him. To then find out at the very end he was a pervert.

[@yaboijonnydaplug2251]

Agreed I was creeped out didn’t know too feel bad anymore or to not feel bad for Kenny my mind had so many diffrent thoughts 😂

[@prabhatgaur1150]

Troll face

[@philpritchettphan]

2:35 The twist that it was kids wasn't revealed there, it was revealed earlier when he was facing off against the other predator in the woods. "How young were they? In the pictures, how young? [no response] Yeah? Well, me too"

[@fluffymonster1306]

Youre rooting for him throughout the episode, thinking it was an innocent Right (or left) hand session that majority of us are guilty of. But the last few minutes just crashes upon you when you realise what he did truly wasn't what majority of us do.... I absolutely love this episode

[@BrainPilot]

It's a phenomenal episode of Black Mirror. A quality episode in season 3

[@michellenelson8489]

I got it spoiled for me so I knew the whole time...

[@michellenelson8489]

@T Series I thought this was actually t series and had a heart attack

[@KevinTatum88]

Black mirror episodes really need to be taught and studied amongst a range of reasons why, it’s like your proper sci-fi psychology done incredibly appealing to fussy and entertain

[@purplsyntax4286]

It hit me when my brother explained after I was done watching it. He said "you have to pay attention to the small details". He then said "There was a reason he was nice to the kid at the start of the episode"

[@casey934]

WAITTTT

[@damonarchary1582]

I mean i dont think thats a major moment ..anyone could do that ..its called being genuine..someone forgets something..u give it back to em ..

[@em.5941]

That’s not really a small detail.. I think it was actually suppose to do the opposite showing that ANYBODY could’ve did that. An employee giving a kid back her toy isn’t weird. Diverting the expectations of what we would think a pedophile would do

[@deleting-e9p]

The idea that every interaction between a depo life and a child has to relate to something secs ual or bad is untrue and harmful. Some are scared of going outside and getting into situations with children because what the media wrongly tells depo lifes is that we are unicorn trollable monsters. So an important part of therapy can be to learn that one is in control, by not avoiding situations but instead observing how nothing bad happens. _[Sorry for weird spelling of Da (possible) B@d Wrds™.]_

[@OfficerFriendly2006]

There’s 3 things I like about this episode: 1. We never find out who the hackers are. For me that just adds to the episode as it could be literally anyone in the world. Possibly even someone in the episode. 2. At the end we also see the other characters who were doing what the hackers told them to also get outed. It shows how ruthless the hackers are to people like them. 3. Kenny’s mother’s final line before he hangs up, “KIDS KENNY! Tell me it’s not true!” Just Kenny’s face when she says that and her practically pleading with him to deny what he did was just really powerful and really added to the ending in my opinion.

[@MasterBuilderDragon]

I think the reason the hackers make people commit these crazy crimes is that they want people like Kenny locked up for life, not just for the small sentence they would more than likely get.

[@hotcheetos1435]

At the end the CEO lady was extorted for being racist yet her emails was leaked , being racist doesn’t deserve locked up for life , shitty people yeah , but cmon now .

[@natedoggcata]

Would he though? He was blackmailed into doing all of those things. Not that he doesn't deserve the punishment but still

[@gilleygg9027]

It was definitely a powerful episode but the troll face that was sent to them made me die laughing

[@satriabarking]

LOL 😆

[@donotcallmeyongbokiamchang3431]

i thought that the troll face made a bizarre environment

[@ahrngel]

that was the only moment that pulled me away briefly, but it was nice that it made me laugh when i was going through the motions of the twist at the end

[@harrietpotter649]

It honestly made the hacker feel more believable to me.

[@harryw3310]

For me it has the same effects as white bear, In that we rooted for him the entire time, thinking that he was being tormented by the hackers for nothing. That final few minutes was nothing short of brilliant and is the reason I have this as my favourite episode

[@BrainPilot]

That's a great episode to compare it to!

[@stayhomewearamask3318]

White bear is my favorite episode because I actually felt fearful for her only to be like "yeah she deserves that"

[@mehabox]

@@stayhomewearamask3318 the point of any punishment is to make the offender recognize and receive the consequences of their actions. The woman in White Bear has her mind literally erased every day and she doesn’t have any time to truly understand what she did. Basically she’s not the same person who tortured and killed that girl, her body did that, but her mind is different. The other participants and bystanders though are more evil than her. Hope I didn’t make any major mistakes and carried my opinion wholly, English is my second language

[@06DarKKlowN06]

Phenomenal acting by him, he literally showed true frustration when he realized he’s been painted.

[@scolosaurus]

As a victim of grooming being on the other side of the screen at 11 years old… this episode KILLED me

[@glynphelps9027]

Sorry I think I had a friend in primary school that had a similar experience to you I was traumatised by him just telling me so I can’t even begin to imagine what you have gone though

[@subarashizeo5815]

Don't forget the music, the way they timed the chrous to the reveal and how it climaxes as Kenny sees the cops coming towards him just makes the reveal hit even more harder. This isn't the first time Exit Music for a film was used in fiction, but I think this is the best use of the song I've seen so far (Also because Radiohead is good shit)

[@jvo8068]

Honestly I was shocked by the ending and reveal, but I still felt bad for him and the other guy who hired a hooker. Not cause I condone it, it’s just the episode did just a good job of making me care for them.

[@ryantodd2000]

I think the phone call is what really got me, sure everything else is shocking and fucked up but the delivery of the lines by the mum is downright haunting

[@matthewshort2639]

I wonder if Kenny didn’t kill the other man, then maybe the hackers wouldn’t have released the video. Maybe the whole thing was a test to see if the people were going to choose to be honest and reveal their secret.

[@theunfunnyjokester]

nah they were doing it for fun

[@megamissbear7389]

Lmao would you let a pedo walk free? Absolutely not.

[@MementoDespair]

@@megamissbear7389 better for the man to die since he probably actually touched kids while Kenny just look at pics probably so him being outed and registered is a better fate for Kenny and should keep him from ever committing the act while the older guy probably already did it

[@thevideocommenter3061]

Nope they wanted two peds against each other, one would die and the other would rot in jail

[@AnimatedLoopHD]

Still psychopathic. It sounds like you're defending the hackers for their atrocities@@thevideocommenter3061

[@ChieffRocka]

Good video but in the forest scene, right before he fights that guy to the death, we find out he had been looking at kids because the guy asks him “how old were they?”, implying it was kiddie porn.

[@af1199]

I was a teenager when this episode come out I was so slow 😂

[@Don-pn2mf]

I remember this being the first episode of black mirror I watched, and no other episode after even came close to this one, shouldn’t of watched this first, it’s the most impactful episode

[@olliethompson9252]

All the more harrowing with the heavy synth line of Radiohead's Exit Music kicking in when his mum is on the phone.

[@shayb8203]

YES! The radiohead was the PERFECT song for that moment! This show really uses great music to go along with the story lines

[@Angelub]

Wish this show would come back already

[@waterlily111]

It was pretty obvious in the moment the other man asked him for the age of the girls in the pictures that he was looking at children. I wasn't really surprised when his mom called, i think the conversation kenny has with the man before the fight is very powerful.

[@rationalblasphemy]

exactly, whoever didn't catch up on that is very slow lol

[@dinopines9191]

@@rationalblasphemy okay cmon man, from what I’ve seen most people thought it was the guy projecting on Kenny which is understandable. And even if people didn’t catch it just makes the twist that more amazing.

[@theodoresurtee1178]

@@dinopines9191’s also the language he uses, he continuously minimises his crime by using words like “just a few” or “only a couple” implying that there was a negative element to the content he was masturbating to. It’s very common in people who have been outed and feel guilty for something they’ve done to sort of try and gain some empathy or understanding. He also doesn’t explicitly deny it each time he’s asked, he just gives us bits of information here and there. The first time he’s asked, his answer is vague suggesting it was regular porn, the second time however, the stakes were much higher and he broke down giving himself away. He didn’t have to explicitly say it was cp but his choice of words gave it away.

[@DarshitaMahanta-xd3zt]

Isn't this like the most obvious thing😂

[@user-fc1fo8yk6f]

For me, I interpreted that as Kenny realizing what he did wasn't that bad compared to the man in front him, and all the shit he went through for it, up until the ending lol, its not exactly that I missed it I just thought of it a different way in the moment

[@Sillygooseeeeee3]

This episode made me feel horrible

[@MikeP-sq6be]

Stunning crime drama...crime caper and extortion drama...which grabs you by the jugular and doesn't let go till the gut puncher ending...

[@fleabaguette9699]

This is one of my favorite episodes but good Lord did it make me anxious

[@vdmur7952]

We were all rooting for them until we found out what they really did! Black Mirror trickery. 10/10.

[@jimonychristmas6238]

To be honest most people would still root for them. Yes obviously looking at child porn is a crime and you should expect to pay the consequences for it, but don’t you think what the main character went through was a little much to still feel no remorse for him?

[@janeygotaknife]

No felt he deserved the worst (the character)

[@AndrewDukes]

​@@janeygotaknife this kinda attitude that most people have literally prevents people like this from seeking treatment. No joke it's literally your fault that kids get raped.

[@emperorpalpatine4723]

me at start and duration of episode: raging those hackers are total C&%ts end of episode: well done lads

[@omillionairetees9178]

Rewatching once again made me think maybe hackers needed him to kill so he can actually get some real jail time. Because he's a minor his first crime maybe wouldnt have gotten him hard time?

[@user-uq4xj7uy2y]

He's canonically 19, or so I've read, so the law probably wouldn't go easy on him on that front.

[@JuanGomez-bs6ue]

The only character that I still feel sympathy and empathy is Hector, cheating is wrong but it doesn't make you a horrible person.

[@lucacampitelli956]

I think the extremities of their crimes reflect how severe their blackmail was. He didn’t have to kill somebody, but kenny did

[@MikeP-sq6be]

Kenny being nice to that little girl at the beginning was a hint. Did he maybe hand her a toy with a nanny cam attached? It reminds me of the movie Hard Candy...

[@samdoe3608]

Jesus it doesn’t start until like 1:10

[@taskeen777]

I think the hackers wanted to sell kenny to prison without them having to expose themselves to the police. So they made him do other things that would guarantee imprisonment for him. While ensuring that they let him know how bad CP consuming is

[@JuanGomez-bs6ue]

Hackers were just criminals themselves, just very smart ones. Getting others to do your dirty work. If they just wanted to teaching Kenny a lesson, why make him rob a bank and kill a man?

[@cawsomeaolin]

The way he barely even looks human when the police lights appear

[@Haildawn]

Agreed! This is my favourite episode from the series, and most memorable episode too

[@NeedyForMusic]

I think the guy in the woods asking "how young were they?" Kinda ruins the twist at the end.

[@optimisticbubble8914]

It doesn’t. I think it’s a good eluding to it, it makes you question Kenny but since you’ve built so much trust in him Youre left in confusion until you find the complete truth just minutes after. I loved how they did that

[@bartpitt2991]

That is the twist at the end ?

[@DarshitaMahanta-xd3zt]

Jeez 😂 that was the twist. The mom saying it isn't. It was already revealed. How slow one has to be lol

[@valentine4104]

can you imagine what he could’ve done if he was never apprehended

[@shannonsfamily418]

I felt sad for the families that were betrayed by these people that made seriously bad choices which they certainly didn't see these consequences coming.

[@Umaldahash]

It’s the far my favorite episode ,felt bad for him at first ,then felt so glad that he got what he deserved ,disgusting

[@Slurpgerk]

It's when people say shit like this that keeps people with these kind of perversions from seeking help. They keep it bottled inside until they stop feeling bad about it and it's literally your fault.

[@MeMow002]

I was kind of disgusted with myself when I realized what pictures he was looking at. It's a weird feeling when you realize that the hackers are actually the good guys.

[@flowersforbambi]

Yes.

[@marcusking8507]

They're not really good guys, but the lead character is certainly worse for what he's done.

[@joygimbel7760]

This is an incredibly powerful mind fuck and should be rated so much higher on RT. It’s rare I’ve something felt like a body blow after watching anything on tv, Shut Up and Dance is that. An hour of anxiety and dread followed up with just-I sat stunned for 10 minutes

[@kevinw8276]

I always wanted to know what the guy who dropped off the cake did. A group of people (presumably his family) say he's a sexual deviant of some sort. If the family's particularly conservative (socially) he could be gay, but that's not remotely as bad as any of the other stuff. I doubt it would be anything involving children as the hackers may have turned this into a threeway pedo fight then. The only thing I can think of is bestiality.

[@plagueknight8026]

sorry this is late but I think the reaction would be bigger if it was beastiality. It seems the punishments bigger for what they do too and they probably would've shown if he had to do something really bad?? Either way his families reactions make me think he might've been watching some really taboo adult content or he may have taken inappropriate pictures of strangers. Just anything perverted that's mostly a victimless crime.

[@robertelliot4196]

He's an adolescent. If he's watching that stuff at his age, the chances are very high that he was sexually abused himself. Watching it rather than inflicting it on someone else is a virtue, not a curse. It's a way to regain one's personal power without harming anyone, as the eminent anti-child-abuse author Alice Miller herself pointed out. The way you speak of this character, taking the opportunity to signal your questionable virtue, is utterly heartless and destructive.

[@shannonsfamily418]

I was molested from ages 7-11, and to watch any young child that way would make me sick and so very angry.
