I would like to think that is fake because human beings cannot possibly be that stupid. The simplest pulley system in the world would have solved their problem. This was just really ill conceived. There are so many issues there. How did they think to aim that, not to mention really large tube tvs are heavy, I had a relatively large one that was about 300 pounds. The only way that stood a chance of clearing the second balcony is if both guys had jumped simultaneously. The biggest one for me is, if the tv is not light enough for you to simply toss it up there how was the person at the top supposed to catch it unless they have herculean strength and weigh about 500 lbs. As it is, the best possible outcome would have the tv making it to that second balcony on target and probably flattening the fool stupid enough to attempt to catch it. Or bozo could have caught it while leaning precariously over the balcony as he is and catching the tv would have overbalanced him just enough to give him a few seconds to think about his stupidity on the brief trip down.

Anyway Hercules' hands are visible the entire time and he seems to respond to the tv arcing towards him through the air and Ani is right. The tv spinning in the air, which it clearly does, would account for the change in trajectory. I'm curious about the kid in the background riding in circles.
