Banana Meccanica Yep, green iguana.

[@esmifrado]

Banana Meccanica common the guy saw it coming out of a dinosaur egg was not like if Carbonaro just presented the iguana and told him it was a dinosaur

[@Flowmaster925]

[@asimerr]

Banana Meccanica He say'd thats like a iguana .. just its hard to believe when it come from a dino egg

[@theNVMEproject]

They thought they could play my boy off with an iguana!!

[@Revvinthe417]

+Katsu LA They totally played your boy off with an iguana...

[@pushpopLoC909]

He caught on before the punch line came so they didn't really play him that hard. Lol.

[@bennybeetle572]

[@sasuke22dante]

It's a baby iguanodon, what do you mean lol

Dude: Imagine what it's gonna be when it's full grown. Iguana:Dude! Wtf? I AM full grown!

[@jacobau9408]

Rita Jean Smith Iguanas get huge that's about a year old

[@Dale_Gribble789]

I have an iguana and that one is at most 3 years old but an adult they will get like 6 feet or 1.8 meters and half of it is their tail and they’ll whip you with it and it stings.

[@adianer6445]

Im from puerto rico. Thats a baby. The adults are sooo huge

[@benram6458]

😂😂😂that iguana face jsjs damn stare like wut im full grown already

[@willnordeste5949]

This guy has to live with all his friends now. Good luck with that

[@raingo3467]

"I don't even know that eggs could be fossilized" You're actually right.

[@flyberd7848]

Rain Go amniotic eggs can be fossilized as they aren't soft tissues, but they hard to find ( like any fossil)

[@wileecoyote5749]

Yes of course they can

[@trueword247]

Love how the mark sets his own self up - "whatever's inside....is that fossilized?"

[@Yamigata]

Almost like it's scripted... Almost like he's wearing a mic, himself (which is why his audio is always so crisp and clear).

[@michael_krueger]

@@Yamigata Gee I wonder, do you think maybe hidden camera shows also set up mics so that we would hear the mark or nah? Maybe it's just good enough that we see them 🙄

[@lakeroswell]

It was sweet how he called it Michael's discovery and didn't try to get in on it.

[@TheKonnoisseur11]

Iguana-saurs!?! Haha I love how he always rationalizes the ridiculous!

[@kemadjounyawillyamcastro200]

"Sometimes they don't ship these from reputable places" LMAO

[@bubblewrap7357]

This guy really does trick people. It happened to my aunt but she didn't fall for it. That's why they never aired her LOL. They go through a lot of people before someone actually believes it. Just so you guys know.

[@nicholasmartinez3049]

Cool nobody cares

Nicholas Martinez you do that's why you responded.

[@iLikePotato3s]

No duh...who doesn't know that lmao, not every person believes everything

[@dudeeee]

+Caily Muttle Michael Carbonaro has actually said in interviews that they only get 1 or 2 tries of each setup due to the amount of episodes they need to film in a certain amount of time.

This victim is too smart for this trick

[@dirtdiv3r]

This guy pays soooo much attention to the details! If you google the address on the package, it's an actual museum in Cairo.

[@mattyy101]

He is the smartest victim on this show

[@ZENERVOLTAGE]

2:23 I don't think he's in on it.....but judging by his reactions and what he's saying, he definitely knows that he's being pranked and is going along with it.

u think so?

[@alexewing10]

What a great guy, proper genuine

"I know it's worth a lot of money, ... but I mean, *truly astonished*... I think your DISCOVERY is slightly more valuable"

"2:13 You don't know what kind of defense mechanisms he's got" - I am sure that like me he remembered Jurassic park with the little Dinosaur puking poison glue at the face of the fat guy.

[@Mountainlion118]

Yeah and alien with the acid blood

[@wed110197]

Michael should have had a sound bit where the Iguana roared super loud.

[@Saphyu]

"It was so much fun to play with you"

[@exceltraining]

look at the lizard's reaction after 3:10 when they speculate about how big it could grow ......... quality editting there...... so subtle, so funny

[@aschlamishowsup]

He said "duh" 🤣 Shut his disbelief down with shame

But that's an iguana, bro. Lol!

[@kittyhowlette7904]

When I went to Mexico there were so many Iguanas on the plane landing space that we couldn’t land for like half an hour because people had to chase them off of the airway landing. It was really funny 💜🦎

[@EnigmaClips]

2:58 dude wtf he had the best comeback sentence to that lol. the guy thought about it and said "oh yeah of course silly me"

[@hushpuppy1595]

This is asmr to a whole nother level

[@stewdog22]

They should have picked a different less common lizard than an iguana... Come on! Before the bearded dragon the green iguana was the most popular herp pet species. Almost everyone knows what an iguana is.

[@gsamalot]

Alexander Stewart the almost part is where it at no joke i have a friend who never heard of a Iguanodon until i showed her

[@kavalogue]

@@gsamalot I've never heard of an iguanodon either, but if that's an iguana then I did. Chances are if you ain't saying The common name no one will know

[@AfroVersity]

The ancestors would be disappointed if he didn't know what an Iguana was.

[@user-mm3th5nb1g]

just discovered this show on tiktok and now i went here to YT just to check some of the few episodes. and now i am addicted hahaha! this show is AWESOME!!!

[@SageMichaelWright]

"Iguanosaur"? Um... Try, Iguanodon? Like, the baby version of a named dinosaur that actually existed? Pretty funny though, I love this show.

[@Shinjokun]

+Sage Wright Well he was close I think. There is a synonym according to the wiki of Iguanodon that's "Iguanosaurus". Still I agree, show is funny.

[@vedorza3350]

+Sage Wright But Iguanodons look nothing like Iguanas you egocentric dunce. Anyone who knows about the Iguanodon should know that....

for helping out today you get to take home this iguana that you don't have a proper home for and have no idea how to take care of, congratulations to the lucky winner !

[@Unlmtdprogress]

I was like breh is this man clueless until he finally said "bro thats an iguana"

[@jessebrown4755]

😂 he's so good at convincing them with his shinanagins

[@ILive2Rescue]

Iguanas can get *really big* though fr. In Key West I saw 5-7 foot long iguanas. I didn’t realize they grew that big; and I def didn’t expect to see several of them just crawling and chillin’ out on the side of the road. Crazy! 🤯 🦎

[@nb4795]

I was surprised that he didn't take the egg and "accidentally-on-purpose" drop it when it came out the box.

[@unicornhuntercg]

Fun fact, Iguanasaurus isn't a real dinosaur, but Iguanadon was.

[@pietrorock]

Can't stop watching all of those videos

[@abbey6340]

the name of a hidden camera..... ten years later... magic tv show

[@respecthumankind333]

Lmao he realized it was an iguana then the magician said but it's a baby so it will get huge! It's where iguanas came from. And the guy got right back into the omg state *Lol good save Carbonaro🤣*
