Public transit is a mess. Overcrowding, frequent delays, and crime are just some of the problems commuters face when riding the “chariot of the people.”
In this episode of Fake Focus Group, our phony proctor Sameer presents a bogus privatized version of the subway to a group of real New Yorkers to see if they would go along with it. In exchange for a higher fare, riders would receive elite perks like VIP seating, armed private security, and in-transit entertainment from the likes of Yoko Ono. But are they willing to sacrifice their functioning, yet insufficient system for corporate interests? Let’s see if the prank lands.

So funny when they say that they want the laws enforced, but they complain about the laws being enforced.
As a New Yorker, I gotta admit I’d absolutely love this idea!!! 🙌🏼🤷🏻♂️
And remember…No russian…
Rippin' farts. Rippin' farts all day, bruh. Ain't nobody out here rippin' farts like me. I'm the fuckin' king.
Lol. Classicism is one of the most American things I can think of.
If you told Jeff the sky is red he'd get mad and say it was purple
Direct and fearless. They’re DEFINITELY New Yorkers. Gotta love em
Lol, Jeff is the classic no bullshit Brooklyn guy. He gave them exactly the right answers though, so..
I like the "smoke cart" idea 😆
"it's so anti American" VIP queues private security better seating that isn't anti American that's pro capitalism …. Everyone being equal and paying the same would be communism?
Rat poison and clean trains with no drugs would be such a improvement
That alex jones should chill the fuck off an slap in the face its just an idea
the dude with the long hair and the older black guy seem to be the sanest of them 😀
Guy: “sooner or later the people are going to rise up and revolt!”
Me: this guy is going to lose his shit…
Guy: loses his shit
Hahahahahaha is it obvious I am not from New York? Maybe he’s talking in a normal tone for New York.
HEY NOW THAT ONE DUDE WAS ON IMPRACTICAL JOKERS OR SOME SHOW LIKE THAT,I KNOW FOR A FACT I HAVE 10000% SEEN HIM BEFORE. so this is a phoney fake focus group with actors? well that blows….thats double deceit
Just Clickbait guys before you watch anything
This feels like a Eric Andre bit but a more serious and mature bit lol
God imagine being on the subway with the heavier white dude . Fuccing complaining about everything. He’s the dude the that’s just silently farting the whole train ride
The subway is a mess because all the money goes to pay the salaries and bonuses of the executives.
If Jeff worked in the cubicle next to mine I'd be so happy to go to work every day. I'd have a six pack from laughing so much every day.
I need an entire season of:
Fake Focus Groups with JEFF!
Jeff got that roid rage from his body building back in the day.
VIP service…massage girls with happy ending.
Jeff with the comb over lol
The dead give away that it's a fake focus group is the sloppy fat guy facilitating the group.
Hooters needs to start a ride sharing service. Get a nice hands on experience!
Pretty sure that guy Marc was on impractical jokers…
3:16 LMAO!
they share the same "train" of thoughts…
Things r never going well when an increasingly angry boomer asks a host or whoever is presenting something asks u "what's your name?"
The music behind 😂😂😂
🤣🤣🤣 my belly hurt
I love Jeff. Jeff needs to be protected, but not by rental cops.
Guy on the right standing up for the animated guitar player was precious.
