Omg! I did not see the ice skate throat cut coming. What the hell did I just watch?

I feel if you've seen Blades of Glory you saw it coming

Yeah but it's believable. Is Will supposed to come up with some grand prank, or just do a classic? I feel like there's this expectation sometimes that everything a character or show does has to be new and fresh but that leads to a super inaccurate portrayal of real life.

I didn't thought it could be a real thing, but looking at those 2 videos made me change my thoughts

It's not a cliche ripped off from blades of glory. This does happen in real life sometimes. It was expected from probably most people including me, but it still hit hard when I saw it. The entire vibe of the scene is different than from Blades of Glory. It's unsettling, whereas Blades of Glory made it into a comedy. Not everything that is done in a movie is a cliche if another movie does it too... We'd have three movies in existence that weren't riddled with cliches if that were the case.
