Missing this in âGleeâ may have you feeling like a real dummy.
Besides dancing videos, TikTok has also become a place for people to share mistakes they noticed in movies and TV shows, and user @kellysipos just discovered something about âGleeâ thatâs hard to unsee.
The show fills audience seats with dummies.
In a now-viral video, @kellysipos shares a scene from season fourâs eighth episode, âThanksgiving,â showing mannequins in the audience.
âIâm just noticing in âGlee,â um, there are dummies in the crowd,â @kellysipos said, pointing out all the disturbing-looking seat fillers. âI feel like Iâm in the âHouse of Wax.ââ
See the video below.
As weird (and disturbing) as it seems, other shows also use dummies to fill seats when needed. Other TikTok users pointed out in the comments on the video that âThe Officeâ used seat fillers for season twoâs episode 17, âDwightâs Speech.â
In the âOffice Ladiesâ podcast, actors Jenna Fischer and Angela Kinsey discussed the seat fillers, saying the episode had 400 extras and 100 dummies, which were torsos dressed up in suits, and five dummy wranglers to move the dummies around, depending on the shot.
The dummies were said to be in the back and on the sides of the crowd during Dwightâs speech, but theyâre there if you look hard enough. Watch for the people who donât react when Dwight slams his fists on the podium around 2:43. Only dummies wouldnât listen to Dwight.
Reps for âGleeâ co-creator Ryan Murphy did not immediately reply to a request for comment. Though itâs safe to say âGleeâ just got a bit creepier â you know, besides all those other more obvious times it was creepy.
