@@chaosblade1328 As a bartender of 9 years a bar in no way has to be a wet bar to get away with drinking. I don’t do it bc it’s my job and I’m there to make money and drinking literally and directly impairs every single skill necessary to do your job well which is how you make the most money possible. But at every job I’ve had there are many people that are getting drunk anyway. Including management. Not to mention giving away shit for free and pocketing cash (stealing from company and coworkers). As well as, putting more emphasis on selling/doing drugs than doing one’s job. Also, I should mention I’ve only ever bartended at restaurants ranging from mid level to fancy AF places. Can’t imagine what goes on at sketchier places.
Seen another similar bet in that you can drink 2 glasses of beer before your opponent can drink 2 shots. Neither is allowed to move eachother's glasses and as a slight advantage, beer drinker gets a headstart by drinking one beer and shots has to wait till beer puts the glass back on the bar before starting their drinking. The trick is Beer puts the glass upsidedown over one of the shots.
@user-jf4uf9nh9c I saw it from Scam School and he did it where it was one at a time. I can't remember the exact setup and can't be bothered to look it up.
After he pulls the straw lunacy you hit em with. "Double or nothing, when I lift the hat there will still be liquor in the glass." He either backs out and you get your money back or you get a nice tip with the double priced shot.
There's a lot of ways you can win this bet. It lift the hat confirm he didn't drink it and quickly put the hat back down. Slide the hat to knock over the shot glass and when something spills you win. Or, probably the best yet, the bartender knows what he poured, if he drank it he would know what was poured, if he didn't ask for a shot of something specific, ask him what it was. If he can't tell you what the shot was of, or he gets it wrong, you win.
@KazamKazamKazam well both characters are inspired by Harry's on-stage persona from his stand-up act. One of his shows used to be available on TH-cam, but I don't know if it still is.
I saw a guy try to do this in a bar; and the woman who he proposed the bet to, her number was on the line. Before she reached for the hat I said "STOP!" She asked why, and then I explained how the bet works. She smiled, said "Thank you." and walked away. If the guy could've killed me with a look, I would've been dead instantly.
Yeah thing is the bet as spoken is over and the guy proposing automatically loses. The moment they claim "done" if hat removed shows a full drink they lost.
It's like that bet about being able to drink to pint of beer faster than 2 shots of whiskey. The rules of the bet are simple: - you can use only one hand - you're not allowed to touch your opponent's glass - as an handicap, the shot guy can only start drinking after the pint guy finish his first drink (but didn't put it on the table). How to win as the pint guy? Finish your drink and put your glass upside down over the second shot while shot guy drink his first shot. Since he's not allowed to touch your glass and you have won the bet.
Good luck. You'll end up with a very wet hat, because most people won't take the hat off the bar, they'll pull the hat, knocking the glass over. So, wet hat, no money, laughing stock. Have fun! 😂👍
Haha, forgive the confusion, Chappy's idea was that François threw a tenner in, so it'd be worth his while if the barman threw in another 5 (Fin)...totalling 15! But I totally get what you're saying. Thanks for this note!
Two men are out walking, wanting to get a drink. But between them they only have $1. The first says: "I have an idea, give me whatever change you have!" The second obliges and the first goes into a butchers and buys the biggest sausage he can. The second man says: "Now look what you've done! Now we have no money to drink, just that big sausage!" The first man says: "This sausage will get us drunk trust me." They go in to a bar and order a pint each. The second man says: "You've really done it now! We have no money to pay for these drinks!" The second man undoes his fly and puts the sausage in his pants and says: "Don't worry, all you have to do is get under the table and suck on this sausage." The second man doesn't want to, but can't think of any way out of the mess they are in so he obliges. The other patrons see this and get so disgusted they throw the pair out. They both laughed and agreed to give it another go. They do this 4 more times at 4 more bars before the second man says: "It's been a lot of fun, but do you think I could be the one with the sausage at the next bar? My knees are getting a little sore from getting under the table." And the first man says: "I ate that thing after the third bar."
if i was the bartender pour a shot the customer can't see, when they supposedly drink it ask them what flavor the liquid is, you knowing what it is, they guess wrong so you know the trick didn't go off
This bet relies on the mark lifting the hat. This simple but cunning trap can be defeated by using a hammer to smash the hat, filling it with cheap booze and ruining the con artists best hat.
See after the do the strew thing ik not to touch the hat everyone knows not to touch the hat you make the person who says they can drink the shot without touch it actually move the hat because then they lose because they had to touch it
… I’m confused, what’s going on here? The guy bet that he could drink the shot without touching the hat, but the shot was still full when the hat came off. What gives?
Maybe instead of guilting people to pay your income with tips make it your government's responsibility to make your boss pay you properly A tip is supposed to be going out of your way, not just doing your job
If I was the bartender, I would just slide the hat to knock the shot over, since nothing in the bet says I can't touch the hat.
And nothing on the bet said I couldn't just drink it faster than the guy who made that bet up
Then he could actually do it
@einlehrling if you're the bartender, you'd need to ask the boss, or be working at a bar that let's you drink alcohol also sometimes called a wet bar
Add a counter bet that is anyone touches the hat that bartender wins the wager

alternatively, beer could just not put their first glass down

Yeah, but then the beer guy can’t get another glass.
hit the beers with my other shot glass, there is a draw
@GamestMesa can't move eachother's glasses even indirectly.
RIP Harry Anderson (Master of this trick showcased on Cheers)
After he pulls the straw lunacy you hit em with. "Double or nothing, when I lift the hat there will still be liquor in the glass." He either backs out and you get your money back or you get a nice tip with the double priced shot.
"If you really drank it then lift the hat up and prove it but if you still haven't it's gonna be your loss"
The loop makes it so that the magic trick is filling the glass rather than drinking it
So glad someone noticed 😊
That’s the classic Henry scam from Cheers 😂
Meanwhile the punch stopping him from finishing the drink...
Hahaha!
Harry The Hat stikes again.
Hell, yeah! Harry, you are still missed.

Looks like you've got the bar tricks all figured out, ready to hustle? Haha! Thanks for watching!
"Oh God! Brian don't!" Stewie Griffin
I know on who to use this trick thank you for showing me it
Loved this bit in cheers. But then again, I was a fan of Harry's since I saw night court before his cheer episodes.
I need to watch Night Court! This character was definitely inspired by Harry the Hay, appreciate you sharing this!

Ouuuf rough
Dude you kinda suck for this lol
At first I heard Tabarnak instead of merde and I felt proud❤ I love your stuff
Yeah thing is the bet as spoken is over and the guy proposing automatically loses. The moment they claim "done" if hat removed shows a full drink they lost.
TRUTh!
Not the oldest trick in the book, but definitely in the top ten.
RIGHT!?1
Doing the Cheers bit!! Nice
I hadn’t seen this bit done on cheers! But definitely wanted a character that could stand as a tribute to Harry!
The moment he lift up the glass, I was socked him in the face
Haha! OUCH!
Oldie but a goodie
Harry got either Woody or Coach with this one.
@@hegodamask7384 Harry The Hat got Cliff with this bet... and he ended it better...😆
@@petersarubbi you’re right. I just saw a short of it again, not long ago.
open the hat towards you, drink the shot first. you get your money back 😂
*Always* confirm the bets over.
Failing that, slide the cover over, do not lift.
Haha, YES!
It’s literally shrödingers cat. But shot
Hahaha, I'VE NEVER thought of it like this!!
Wait, THAT'S HOW YOU PRONOUNCE MERDRE?! Have I been saying it wrong this whole time 😭.
depends on the language
@kiyoraka3537 ...It's French. I know that for a fact. I just didn't think that's how it was pronounced.
Especially with a hat that big, lift your side up and grab the glass. Pour it out, drink it, whatever you choose so they don't get it.
It's like that bet about being able to drink to pint of beer faster than 2 shots of whiskey. The rules of the bet are simple:
- you can use only one hand
- you're not allowed to touch your opponent's glass

How to win as the pint guy? Finish your drink and put your glass upside down over the second shot while shot guy drink his first shot. Since he's not allowed to touch your glass and you have won the bet.
I'm gonna freaking do this at every bar now haha
Good luck. You'll end up with a very wet hat, because most people won't take the hat off the bar, they'll pull the hat, knocking the glass over.
So, wet hat, no money, laughing stock. Have fun! 😂👍
Cheers episode from the 80s
I remember seeing this scam in an episode of cheers
Yup, and that actor was Harry Anderson who went on to star in Night Court.
He lost the straw that he was controling touched the hat
if your quick grab teh shot before the other guy can drink it and then you win the bet
Yo bartenders, what's the weirdest order you have ever gotten?
Anything after they’ve been cut-off usually gets weird…and not the good kind of weird… 😂
How about NEXT time something like this happens, not fully lifting the hat and just taking A little peak like A normal person. 😅😂
But then there would be no video!?!? 🤷♂️
@@KazamTH-cam Good point. 😅😂
This bit was better 40 years ago on Cheeres .
It's always better when they know you're name!
@@KazamTH-cam nice
@KazamTH-cam also Harry Anderson is always an admirable source of inspiration. 🎉
Trick here is to leave the hat, eventually they'll have to leave and the bet repaid.
Imagine...a hat...with a shot under it...untouched...Till the end of time!! Haha
The trick is to knock over the shot when lifting the hat
Why does this guy look suspiciously like ryan george
Hahaha, I have nothing but respect for Ryan. But I'm me! Thanks for being here.
i mean technically he wouldn’t have lost the bet if it weren’t for his friend
It was better when Harry did it to Cliff on Cheers.
Ribbit ribbit 🐸
Oui!
Take that bet every time with a time limit
Frenchie
He called a 10 a fin, when a 5 is a fin. Rip.
Haha, forgive the confusion, Chappy's idea was that François threw a tenner in, so it'd be worth his while if the barman threw in another 5 (Fin)...totalling 15! But I totally get what you're saying. Thanks for this note!
Pro tip: If someone tries this on you, accept, then pick up the hat and hit them with it. They will have touched the hat and lost the bet.
Why am just realizing that jon taffer is in the backgrounds. Or am i blind
40 bucks for the shot.

So you watched CHEARS. slow clap
if i was the bartender pour a shot the customer can't see, when they supposedly drink it ask them what flavor the liquid is, you knowing what it is, they guess wrong so you know the trick didn't go off
ouuuu nice thinking!!
Trow the hat on him or just, pull it
hahaha, this is hilarious as a visual!
Pick the hat up and drink it yourself
Lessgooooo!
Oldest bar bet in the world

Hahahaha this comment made my day
thats where you be there is liquids in the cup still
Ey wait a minute he said without touching the shot not the hat he drank the shot normally
See after the do the strew thing ik not to touch the hat everyone knows not to touch the hat you make the person who says they can drink the shot without touch it actually move the hat because then they lose because they had to touch it
Its not a Bet its a Scam. Try that in a German Bar, with anyone who isnt the Customer, you get out the Fast Way.
I’ve seen this trick in Yugioh
Oh no way!!
… I’m confused, what’s going on here? The guy bet that he could drink the shot without touching the hat, but the shot was still full when the hat came off. What gives?
Open the shot to your side and drink it yourself. Not lifting the hat fully.
Like this if Joey Wheeler is the reason you know how this scam works, lmao
*oh noooo were banning you from the baaaar oh noooooo*
Merde!
