(ver. 1) -> (ver.2)

There are actually MANY versions of this exact ad, in different length and clips composition, and that's not to mention the languages (I personally counted around 38+ in total but I'm still not sure and I certainly haven't seen all of them, oh jesus :_) ). If you ever saw these on yt you might already know there are 2 versions, and one fat difference between them is the gabico moment (here is the comparison)

This one is Italian for example, but most importantly it features this moment:

(ver. 2) -> (ver. 1)

This time we're dealing with the German version of it (cuz I love how it sounds rawrrr) and unlike the previous one this is only 20 seconds long (the prev, Italian version, was 30 sec). I've already said in the pt.1 that there are actually tons of these, and therefore there might be a longer german ver but honestly it's such a pain to look for it so I'm leaving it be for now kkk

It contains this moment:

And here's the difference!!:

Oh my GOD. Do y'all see that???

Judging both by their positions and the clean transition between clips, the first one obviously was the original or at least what the stager initially had in mind. Oh and these two were serious for once.

The second one, however, felt like your average gabico playing around on the set at some point (they just can't lock in when the other is around it seems...)

Because in the 2nd version you can clearly see Nico making close eye contact with Gabi and immediately cracking up, with the latter following suit, resulting into them stalling the scene xD↓↓

You can notice in comparison above just how much longer the second act lasted despite the clips being the same length. It's so far off from the overall vid pace that it just can't be planned lol (I didn't upload the og vids here (yet?) but just believe me when I say that)

Like, after realising they're about to fuck up, Nico tries to pull Gabi in by hand to get him out of the frame but Gabi, thinking absolutely the same—inches away from losing it too—pushes Nico back AT THE SAME TIME, and thanks to that we get them stepping away in nearly perfect sync (are you guys dancing already??)

(here's the slowed & brightened close-up fragment cuz I bet you didn't see anything in the previous one thanks to beautiful tumblr gif quality and low original brightness<3)
