Nick panicking that he’s actually choking Danny while he’s literally choking Danny killed me

The panic in Danny’s eyes as his scarf fails to save him and then the slow recline has me sobbing

as a young woman, having a man pop up in my backseat is actually terrifying but it’s ok cause i don’t wear scarves

kidnapping someone is like A LOT more serious of a crime than stealing a tv. Why tf didn’t they just steal a tv

oh boy i hope someone gets kidnapped in this one!!! i say this on every single one of danny's videos

nick: “i felt like i was choking you tho, for a while there..” danny: “yeah, you WERE”

Imagine you get kidnapped and your kidnapper goes "gotcha girlie?" In the most 2000's Barbie ad voice you've ever heard

Arrivederci is an italian word and it means "see you again/see you later" so he's basically just saying: see you later, hope you kidnap me again soon!

"what's a square knot?" "the kind of knot you'd tie you fuckin square" is so good and he gets him twice.

In case you were wondering why the matches weren't lighting when you strike them against a wall, it's because safety matches on light on the box (red/brown tips), but they used non safety ones (green/white)!

“Great job Martin, that’s a Felony!”

the absolutely chaotic energy of danny renting a garage and bringing a friend over with no explanation, only to reveal they're trying out kidnapping hacks...

The narrator's voice is in my worst nightmares, just narrating everything with their high pitched voice

Fun fact: If your kidnapper lets you see their face, they're not planning on letting you live

Honestly as someone who was kidnapped (yes it was a very traumatic experience) this made me laugh so hard, it’s just ridiculous. Btw I unfortunately wasn’t able to utilize any of these amazing life hacks when I was actually kidnapped, as I was 9 at the time and was scared out of my mind. But seriously this video was so fucking hilarious and it really improved my mood so thx Danny (and Nick)

The look of fear on Danny's face when the scarf didn't break away immediately is hysterical

Its not about escaping your kidnappers, its about the friends we made along the way.

25:30 I like how Drew closes the car door. It’s important even when being kidnapped that you follow proper car exiting safety

The chemistry between Nick and Danny during the scarf scene 💕

fun fact, the duct taped wrist escape actually works with zip ties too, if a singular zip tie is around your wrists in the same position. one of the very, VERY few actually legitimate hacks this channel has ever offered.

Remind me to not kidnap Danny!! Seriously. That would be illegal and weird

I remember chatting to a war correspondent before they went to Afghanistan. He received some real advice about being kidnapped; “it’s better to die on the streets”.

it's so funny how nick just uses common sense and danny has to explain it each time

The eyeholes being cut perfectly to COVER his eyes has to be the funniest thing I’ve ever seen lmfaooo

Nick: "I feel like I was choking you for a while there" Danny: "Yeah, you were" fave part

I love how excited Danny gets over the duct tape. It reminds me of that one time when I was 7 my sister tied me up with the tape in our garage and left me there to figure out how to escape because I ate her cookies!! Danny bringing back good memories

The zip tie/ductape one is actually very dangerous, going and slamming your wrist can actually shatter your wrists AND not break it anyway, I got this information from Tom Coyne an anti-kiddnapping trainer (a person who teaches people how to get out of situations if they are kidnapped)

"now i crush his bones" with the very slow electronic reclining was probably the funniest thing I've seen all week

the narrator sound like she’s trying to talk like Snow White

so sad Nick changed after this I miss the old kinder nick nd now he’s mocking ppls dead friends

As a former kidnapped person, can confirm this was accurate and exactly how I escaped

I literally cried tears laughing at the scarf not splitting, and seeing Danny legitimately struggle more than he assumed he would

So proud of Nick, he used to just be Kurts Connor's editor and look at him now! He upgraded all the way to being Danny's kidnapper

LMAO he activated my Alexa when he asked Alexa what the word meant 😭😭 23:38

missed opportunity to call kidnappers sons of a gun 🙏😔

I can just imagine a person saying to a judge "I'm not the criminal, that gun is! It told me to pull the trigger and his friends the bullets flew out of him at insane speeds."

The kidnappers have visible tattoos showing. They are such professionals.

For anyone confused about the naming of the tape used in the video. Scotch is a brand and duct is the name of tape that 3M manufacture. I think an interesting - stretching the definition of interesting - quirk here is that in different countries, PSA tape or pressure-sensitive tape tends to be referred to by a generic brand name; another example of this would be band-aids. In the UK, all PSA tape, including Scotch PSA tape, is typically called Sellotape due to the same quirk. However, and this part is interesting, the word Scotch was used as a pejorative term used to describe someone as ungenerous or stingy and the naming of the tape anecdotally came from a dissatisfied product tester demanding that their Scotch bosses use more adhesive. As a noun Scotch (of or from Scotland) is considered an offensive term, however there are still many examples of it being used, such as scotch whisky, and broth.

this video's gonna be a hard rewatch after learning about what nick's done, yeesh.

Can’t believe danny would rent out a garage for this when his basement literally looks like a kidnapper’s dungeon

kinda rude that Danny didn't get nick a tv for kidnapping him. Its like he didn't even appreciate getting kidnapped :/

7:58, an actual useful version of this "tip" would've been to inform about the latch on the insides of modern trunks. The trunks on modern vehicles have a handle to the latch to get out of the trunk if someone closes it on you. Use that if you can

"Gotcha girly" Got me rolling on the ground💀

I love how nick was like “I felt like I was choking you” and Danny with a very serious was was just like “you were “ while the camera turned away lmao

Nick: (Notices the scarf) What’s that? Danny: This is a…I always wear this.

24:43 LMAAO DANNYS FACE WHEN HE REALIZES ITS ACTUALLY CHOKING HIM OUT

I Loved How Nick Was Pointing Out All of The Most Obvious,Easiest Ways to do Literally Everything

This is going from “terrible things no one needs” to “literally advice that can get you killed”

the “tense up while being tied up” is actually a real thing, in case anyone was wondering. it doesn’t work quite as well as in the troom troom video but it gives you a little more space to work with. edit: since people actually saw this i want to mention the duct tape thing is real, too. obviously it won’t work that easy though. you’re supposed to raise your arms over your head and bring them down sharply and quickly, while also pulling your elbows apart. it’ll probably take a couple tries but it is genuinely good advice.

21:07 UGH HIS LITTLE WINK I LOVE IT

TroomTroom- ARE YOU GETTING STRANGLED???? Danny - ...yeah:(

I love Nick not being clued into anything until the very moment he needs to perform.

Kinda disappointed that Danny didn't say "Arrivederci, losers" instead of "bye" at the end

“gimme your get get get in the car” bars. also nick being the most awkward kidnapper is so me. i could never be a felon.

I love how in all of his videos when he changes scenes he has a completely different microphone to use. His house is full of microphones of all types. Like there's no one type he likes the most. Subtle, but hysterical.

I like how he specified that he wouldn’t get his feet out **for free*

I didn't think it was possible for them to find a more annoying narrator.

"GIMME YOUR- GET-GET-GET IN THE CAR!" danny, 2021

Nick just looks like he smells overwhelmingly of laundry detergent

Danny saying, “that’s actually really funny” with a look of pain and disappointment on his face…he’s going through it with Troom Troom 😔

My respect for Danny after not buying his kidnapper a tv 📉📉📉

12:12 "I've got a couple things to craft before my big day tomorrow! It's currently 11PM." Me for every high school project.

I watched this with my dad this morning (it was around maybe 1 am) and like maybe 5-15 minutes ago I was called because my grandma and dad wanted to know what I wanted for dinner after that was established I said "Welp, I'm not needed anymore, adios amigos" and my dad said "arriva durchie losers" and I just burst out laughing, and I declared to myself that I hate my laugh. 👍😬😁

The narrator's vocal cords are a living example of 'tHiS vOiCe'

Can’t wait to take Troom Troom’s renowned self-defense classes.

I just realized in the first one with the matches, her legs were free, the dungeon door was unlocked, she could’ve just stood up and walked out lol

“ are you getting strangled? “ “ yeah.. “ got me on the floor💀

"Arrivederci, losers" is unironically such a fucking funny line

The way they said "ARE YOU GETTING STRANGLED?" Sounded so casual like it happens every Tuesday

“Are you tied up with scotch tape? Perfect!” gets me every damn time 🤣

“I’m going to be testing Troom-troom’s kidnapping hacks” *puts on ski mask*

If the kidnappers don’t come back after 15 minutes, you’re legally allowed to leave.

The creepiest part of this video wasn't any of the kidnapping, or Troom Troom's awful narrator. It was the fact that there was just a random Alexa in that warehouse. That's some dystopian cyberpunk shit.

"You wizard, How did you do that?" is a joke that gets stuck in my head a lot, his delivery of that line is so hilarious xD

5:09 -- 5:36 he had too much fun with this istg 😭😭

Snapping necks DOES, in fact, tend to kill people, Daniel.

“She’s so pretty, so charming and graceful” “It’s obvious that he’s in love with her.” Girl getting her kidnapper to fall in love with her just by existing? Troom Troom must have been reading some wattpad fanfic before making this video because Skylar is radiating main character energy

The ultimate saw trap “you’ve been kidnapped besides you is a groom groom video

Heard someone say Troom Troom is just fetish content and I haven't been the same since. They're too correct

The scariest thing about this whole thing is that when someone actually does get kidnapped and tries to think back to this, the only things that will come to mind is that screechy baby voice and that pumpkin head

I think I’m ready to say, officially, that this is my favorite video Danny’s made. The way he delivers lines in the first half that aren’t technically jokes are funnier than most of the actual jokes. “Just get out of the car” at 8:15 is a line that has no right being that funny. Only Danny could make that line funny because it’s such an easy layup to the point that it’s not really even a joke. And I love Nick at 26:10. I desperately want to know specifically which jokes in his videos are pre-written and which ones are on the fly. I think he said it’s like 70% scripted and 30% ad lib. I need that 30%! Kinda surprised I haven’t seen any Gregs take a stab at making a compilation video of jokes they think are in that 30%. I think the comments section would be really fun.

danny casually busting through duct tape multiple times is so funny lmao

Kidnapping hack: If you're being kidnapped, just say no! They can't legally kidnap you without your permission.

Nick is giving off major “my big brother forced me to play along with his stupid game” energy.

darn! i shoulda watched these troom troom videos before i got kidnapped 5 years ago! Some proved to be very useful! Awesome video danny! 😂😂❤

this is the first Danny video I ever watched. Weird part is I used to not enjoy it but now it’s one of my favorite ❤️

Danny and Nick: *trying out weird life hacks while being filmed* Guy: hey that's the best way to be though

when danny went from the dramatic “ahh, ahhhh” to “oh crap, he’s actually choking me” but continuing on laughing with nick as he was getting strangled and nick just pointing out he feels like he’s actually choking him while still going full force with it made me burst out laughing. he choked him OUT 😭

25:33 beautiful friendship

When she was in a chokehold and reached back I was surprised because I thought they were going to show her grabbing him and quickly throwing herself forward to throw him on the ground, a legitimate tactic that my brother in the army taught me, but I was NOT prepared to see her just- Snap his NECK-

I guarantee that these "tricks" are going to get someone seriously hurt if they actually believe in it

Plot twist: the camera person is actually a kidnappee, and danny is taunting them by showing them all the ways they could escape, but can't because danny knows about them

Matches will not strike on a surface other than the scratch pad thing on the box(forgot the name). There’s a chemical thing where the reaction isn’t complete with out the strike pad

Danny using music from Sims 3 create a sim in the background at the beginning of the video is making me so happy

nick: “i feel like its choking you!” also nick: is strangling the life out of danny with a tear away scarf

Danny: now i crush his bones Nick: politely scoots away

Why is no one talking about the LIFE SIZED NAKED BARBIE IN THE THE BACKGROUND?!💀 9:09

the ski mask you made looks just like the ones from troom troom lol. also, i love your R2-D2 in the background.

Regarding melting a zip tie with a match: I'm pretty sure Troom Troom took this from the real life case in which one of serial killer Bob Berdella's victims escaped using this method. However, the reason he was able to do this was because Bob Berdella had been sexually assaulting him for a long period of time and was deluded into believing that his victim was actually in love with him, so he became more lax in his restraints when he left for work. The reason the victim couldn't simply bend at the waist to pick up the match was because he was tied to a bed post. Naturally, Troom Troom wasn't going to include any of these disturbing details and wanted to present a sanitised version of kidnapping in which the victim is never in too much danger, so the context is lost and this tip seems really bizarre as a result. I imagine the rest of these tips are similar: Things that have been/could be legit avenues of escape in specific circumstances, but without those circumstances it just seems weird and useless.
