7 Terrible Hiding Places You Somehow Got Away With 

Hey, pssst, we're down here in the comments section... Enjoy these hiding places that were a bit obvious, but we totally got away with it somehow. Ssssshhhhhhhhhhh...

To be fair, if I was some low wage guard looking for a highly trained assassin/swordsman/batman then I probably would pretend I couldn't find them. Better to get shouted at by your boss then get murdered for doing your job.

"Supercalifuckyouall" Dying right now

ninjas actually did walk along roofs to move about unnoticed. buildings were lit from inside and unless you were above the kitchen there was no way of light reaching the rooftops especially since the roof overlaps the walls in old japanese buildings making the light shine across rather than up. they didn't have lamp posts either in ancient japan so as long as you didn't draw the attention of a person with a lantern you could sneak around unnoticed. victorian thieves used to pull a clever trick where if they were being chased they would run into a room with an adjoining door and hide in the closet. the pursuer would assume they ran into the adjoining and follow. at that moment the thief would burst out of the closet and run out of the door giving them a head start in the chase. obviously after adjoining rooms went out of fashion so did this trick as it's very obvious where somebody went when there's literally no where else they could have gone. in world war 2 british soldiers escaping nazi prison camps would hide in piles of manure that were being transported from farm to farm by allied members of the french resistance. turns out that nazi privates were reluctant to search the manure even if they suspected a person might be hiding in it because of how gross it is. this method actually fooled the nazies for quite some time until a superior officer did the smart thing and picked up a pitch fork which is what would have been used to shovel the manure and started stabbing at the manure. this resulted in the deaths of several escapees via deadly infection. several small, flexible and underweight prisoners have escaped via air ducts to this date but a lot lot lot more have tried to do so and died in the process. restrictions of movement have lead to suffocation, some have climbed through unused parts of the facility and got stuck and died of thirst, some have severed arteries on mechanical fans and bled to death, one man climbed into a chimney by mistake and was choked by noxious gases but most have met a grizzly end when shafts went vertical and they slipped and fell several stories to a sudden stop. it certain not a good method of travel. so all these sneaking methods have some sort of truth to them. however the game developers might have used them out of context in completely unrealistic situations and the audience isn't stupid enough not to notice.

It's not that the minions of Ganon didn't know Link was in there. It's that they DID know he was in there. I wouldn't open a barrel with doom guy in it either.

"Hey... is that haystack heavily breathing, like it just jumped off a 30 story tower?" "Nah, it's just the wind." *Assassin's Creed Logic*

Standing out in the open in the Elder Scrolls. Seriously. Sneak Level 100 is absolutely ridiculous to a hilarious degree. Add in some Dark Brotherhood gear or other sneak-enhancing items for even more hilarious "It must've been the wind" moments from the orc with an arrow in his head.

Dear OutsideXtra, I’m gonna need more SuperCaliSwearWords and Ellen going “weeee!” in future vids please. Signed, Me.

When I'm playing Skyrim, I like stealthy characters. So a common situation I get myself in is when I've just shot a bandit and his buddy is trying to find me. But, there just so happens to be a pillar that I can dance around for two minutes until the bandit that's still standing declared his friend was killed by the *wind*

Wardrobes are terrible places to hide . Last time I tried that I ended up lost in the snow with a goatman

The "hiding above someone" tactic is actually pretty realistic, because people tend to not look up when searching for things and prefer looking at eyesight level. That's why supermarkets put the most expensive stuff right at the hight of your head and the cheapest things at the bottom. Also: after seeing a SWAT-Team getting tricked out by a runnaway that put a thing over his head and stood still in a corner of a room, these hiding strategies are not too unrealustic anymore...

To be fair to Dishonored: I tested this by sticking a note on the ceiling of a room and asked some people to look for it. It took about 30 minutes until they spotted it...

1 shooting a guard in skyrim while sneaking them watching him go "must have been the wind" 2 getting chased by guards in Elder Scrolls Online and jumping in a barrel right in front of them, then suddenly they forget you were ever there evidently

No mention of assassin's creed's blooming benches. Just try to escape the police by sitting down on a bench irl. I dare you!

Is Ellen really talking to herself in the outro?

To be fair, I got spotted on the Dishonored rooftops plenty of times even while being silent. It only works on the guards right below you. If there's one a bit down thataway, they can turn around and see you standing on top of their guard station and go all shooty on you. Besides, walking around staring up at the rooftops all day is definitely bad ergonomics!

"Don't worry I'll 'bail' " -love you Ellen!

I feel like Agent 47's entire existence is the perfect hiding place. I mean who would suspect that bald guy with the barcode tattoo on his head who is always around when people get murdered? Right? Right!

I love how Andy grows increasingly disappointed at Ellen's puns.

Where is the lamp from undertale!?

payday 2. you can hide behind everything even behind a lamppost and even if the guards almost spot you they won't try to search for you

Luke has the outfit, you may as well let him sign the number. Better yet, a musical episode would be appreciated. Like they did in Buffy.

That "I'll Bale" pun was the first time she's gotten me to laugh with their terrible puns.

I'll bail. Really? And if he got angry you could say: “Hay! I'll go!”

Now to be fair, once the thugs in Arkham City know you're around, they DO check the floor vents and shoot you if they see you there. Tall grass, though... That's like the infinite space of hiding spots. A Pokemon the size of a house can hide in there perfectly, and Snake makes good use of it too.

I expected to hear many things today, but supercalifuckyouall was not one of those things

That hyper-aggressive 'boo' made my day

Don't forget in cartoons. "OH just a bush." A sec later "Huh,it moved. Makes sense." A while later "Huh,it's following me. Ah,probably just *the wind."*

This reminds me of the one time I was playing Alien Isolation. On mission 5 I made the mistake of unlocking both doors in a room that had no hiding spots.... per-sey. Xenomorph is angry and I can hear it charging through, so I hide at the side of a computer which is still in plain view. Best hiding place ever! It walked past twice without spotting me.

Piles of hay in the Assassin's Creed series? What about sitting on a bench, conspicuously dressed in the Order's robes, in broad daylight, with a lot of space between you and the person next to you?

I remember a side quest in Dying Light, where you got to make sure a path is safe for a survivor, and take out the volitile nest you'd eventually find in it. While going through the tunnel, you might try to avoid contact with the defending volitiles, rather than attacking them, so you can LITERALLY hide behind the side of a barrel near a doorway, and at times, a volitile would walk past you, as if you were invisible.

Skyrim - EVERYWHERE

Alien Isolation: Lockers. Seems odd a hyper intelligent killing machine wouldn't think to look in a Ripley jr. sized locker.

Ellen, that hay pun really was _the last straw._

I always laughed in ESO at the baskets the NPCs will never find you hiding in during stealth/trespass areas, despite the fact they chased you up to it, saw you jump in, then apparently because they have the memory of a goldfish with a concussion, forget why they’re staring at said basket.

"and I've just now realized is written entirely in crayon." Ha, must be a US marine's handbook.

The haystacks in AC are bad, but at least they're actually a hiding spot. What about sitting on a bench? Or even better, just walking with four other people? "Isn't that the guy we're chasing?!" "Nope. Our guy was by himself."

How about literally anywhere in skyrim? With a sufficient sneak skill you can hide just about anywhere!

I need Luke going "supercali-f*ck-you-all" in gif format to use for whenever I've been let down via group chat

The rooftops actually makes sense. I mean, ninja’s in real life had a whole jutsu dedicated to how people most likely won’t see you if you hide at a 45 degree angle above or below them because humans rarely look up or down apparently

My personal favorites are in Bethesda RPG games where, if you have a high enough stealth skill, the best and most conspicuous hiding spot is right in front of them.

1:40 That has to be the most violent boo ever

I did not expect this from Luke. And it was fantastic! 😆 7:49

I've been playing hide and seek with my dad. 16 years and he still hasn't found me.

Andy: perpetual pun judge. Punitence for a past crime? Maybe we need a punel of experts to share the workload? A punderstudy at least for when he cannot continue.

Ellen's look of shock to Luke's comment sells this video haha

1:37 I have watched four videos of you guys and I can already tell I’m going to love Ellen😂

7:45 Hilarious. It's moments like these that make me love these vids :)

Ellen as Agent 47? Pfft, more like Agent "four-foot seven," amirite? Good times.

You forgot that in Dishonored you can crawl under a table and hide there, you even get an achievement called "under the table" in Dishonored 2 for taking keys while hiding under a table

Your entry for Dishonored is a real-life stealth move. It relies on a phenomenon that very few people look beyond a 45° angle. It was popularized by Ninjas as a Jitsu. Batman was trained as a Ninja. The "zombies" in Evil Within Aren't real! (It was all in his head)

OMG - can we please please please get a best of Ellen? The "WEEEE" at 6:30 just killed me xDDD

"Super-cala-f**k you all!" Officially the best line I have ever heard on RU-vid! Sorry Luke but I will be stealing that to use in real life

What, no mention of the conveniently-shaped lamp from Undertale? C'mon, guys, Sans *literally* draws attention to how conspicuous it is, and you *still* get away with it!

Hahaha!! Luke was brilliant in this one!! Also Ellen's joke was GREAT!! ("BOO, boooooo")

I'm in love with the pun ;-; new favorite channel

if we're being honest isnt it even weirder that every person-sized cupboard or box in the game world is conveniently empty. in hitman there is always enough room in the freezer for corpses..where r they keeping the food (not in the cupboards or crates ive been in all of them they're all empty)

Am I the only one disappointed that we didn't get to see Luke's chimney sweep dance?

You... do realize one of the assassin's tenets are hide in plain sight right...? Accoding to assassin's creed logic, hiding in a hay stack makes 101% sense :D

I laughed way too hard when the "wiskey and cigars" joke was made

What about Skyrim? If your Sneak was high enough level- you could stand directly in front of the enemy. That’s a bad hiding place!

Supercalif**kyouall XD

I can't believe Agent 47 hasn't come out already! Maybe he just doesn't feel ready yet, since he still hides in closets

EVERY hiding place in Sneak King. I watched an LP of it, and it seems like every place the king can hide should, by all rights, be completely conspicuous, and yet... It's an unusual example in that you're not trying to escape or elude capture or death, just... something resembling food.

No Skyrim sneaking? You can LITERALLY walk in front of them and only killing them will result in suspicion.

Oh hey don't mind me i'm just hiding in a horde of enemies by wearing a hood that looks like them but it doesn't cover my face. Breath of the Wild logic my friends

To be fair, it's actually part of human psychology to not really look up all that often. Which is also why it's actually a pretty good place to hide. I don't recall the exact details but in my one marketing class we discussed it and I learned that human have a tendency not to look up all that often. Products that stores want us to buy are placed at eye level (for obvious reasons) and cheaper ones are placed below and above eye level.

0:50 this joke actually worked for me. Good job!

how about the Spy class in TF2? they put on a flimsy paper mask, and fool literally all of their enemies!

Ellen: “...I’ll Bale! 😉” Me:😂 Literally Everyone Else: “Boo!”

"To be a skilled assassin, you must be as difficult to find as a needle in a haystack." *jumps in haystack*

I like you joke about the hay and the bail haha

I love the line they said "supercalaf*** you all" best quote I have heard this year

This nicely links into the 'Top 7 awfully useful body hiding spots in games' such as the hay in assassin's creed and the dumpster in dishonoured... And any body of water ever.

Awesome Video!

Subscribed for the hay-mazing “bale” pun!!

#LetLukeChimneySweep

The haystacks were pretty bad, but what about the times in Black Flag when you would hide in fields on plantations that just had single stalks spaced a couple feet apart? "Don't mind me. Just another plant here. Also, ignore that dead guy over there too. He's just a plant."

Thanks, now I've got the urge to watch the 10-hour version of Barrel Beat.

Luke's best line: "Supercalif***youall!"

Well Ellen, you couldn’t possibly be Agent 47 as he draws the line of his disguises at women’s clothing, even though he has the perfect condition for a wig. You know he’s BALD.

How about just raw skill in the fallout series? I'm cranking out the greatest pre-war hits from my pip boy, mere inches from a raider and they're all, 'did you hear something?' to their equally unaware buddy who should be able to see me.

"Just a box" "Isn't there a guy known for hiding under boxes?" "Yes" "So?...." "Wonder what's for lunch" "The box just moved"

7:57 Than you for new reaction picture :D

Skyrim: crouched right in front of the enemy.

okay, after that surprised face after the f-bomb its official, im in love with Elen

How bout in plain sight? In Legend of Zelda: Majora's mask, wearing the stone mask some how completely renders you invisible to almost everyone and all you have to do to get it is find a soldier and give him a potion.

This reminded me of a particular section in Okami. Where you're visiting the demon island and all you have as a disguise is a piece of paper stuck to your doggy face, with a doodle you drew on it.

Just gonna say, I've seen the box work while in the middle of a store parking lot. Also in that same store. To make it better, one of the people that walked by was a veteran of the MGS series.

Supercali-gof**kyourself is now my new go to swear word.

Not surprised the Metal Gear series made this list. That cardboard box stunt is legendary. Not only did it appear as Solid Snake's taunt in his Super Smash Bros. Brawl appearance, it also got used in his Death Battle against Sam Fisher with the box itself playing a vital role in fooling Sam. Otacon ridiculed the idea as insane but it worked. Plus if we never got the "Cardboard Box Hiding Stunt" from the Metal Gear franchise, it's very unlikely the "Barrel Hiding Stunt" would have existed in Legend of Zelda The Wind Waker. Something tells me that was inspired by Metal Gear.

That Mary Poppins parody had me dying!

Speaking of boxes, in TF2 there's a taunt that the spy* can use to Cover themselves in a box. This works more often than it should.

In order to be seen in a haystack someone would have to be Eagle eyed. (I’ve needled around with the only pun I could think of; otherwise it’d be a character assassination)

11:10 They do eventually, especially in Arkham Knight when they can throw thermobaric charges into the floor grates to cause AoE damage and destroy the grate it was thrown under and a few directly connected grates too.

Luke, Luke, Luke, have you not heard of wigs? They look pretty realistic these days and we all know Ellen's hair couldn't possibly be real when it's always looking so perfect ;)!

No mention of Fallout... just crouch in the shadows and [HIDDEN]!

surprised not to see putting a book in front of your face in amnesia LMAO

you guys are so much fun!!

Every hiding spot in hello neighbour is ridiculous "Hey wanna hide under the tall legged bed?" "Hey do you want to hide in a cupboard with a broken door?" "Hey wanna hide behind that obvious door?"
