  • Students leaving the lecture hall, a professor who gets slapped ... The video of a university course that turns anything big has gone viral on social networks.

  • Many Internet users are convinced that it was filmed at the start of the 2020 school year.

  • But it is actually a fake course organized with the complicity of a professor in 2018, at the University of Grenoble (Isère).

A student running around the tables, a classmate who insults and slaps the professor when leaving the amphitheater in the general hubbub ... It's hard to imagine a more chaotic resumption of classes than the one that seems to have taken place this week in a French university, judging by a video uploaded to Twitter.

"I'm dead, is it an amphitheater or the Stade de France there?"

"," The elite of the nation ... And we dare say that there is no wildness ... "are indignant the Internet users having relayed it.

ptdrr I'm dead is it an amphitheater or the Stade de France?

But it is actually a fake course staged a few years ago at the University of Grenoble.

FAKE OFF

On September 1, another Twitter user shared this video with the following caption: "When you bring together all the classes of STMG [Management and Management Sciences and Technologies] in the same lecture hall at the university it gives that # rentreescolaire2020 ".

And while it was starting to get particularly viral - with, to date, over 29,000 likes and nearly 9,000 retweets - he embellished it, in a series of tweets, with new video clips showing other overflows in the same lecture hall, allegedly filmed almost live.

For example, the Internet user claimed to be quietly smoking a shisha in the middle of the stage, supporting images: “Update 4, sneaking up on the teacher's desk on the shisha of a guy I don't know and I still know less how he lit it ”…

Udapte 4, chicher on the teacher's desk on the shisha of a guy I don't know and I know even less how he light it (natural coals)?

These disturbances in the middle of the amphitheater were however filmed in September 2018, as can be seen on the images posted online at the time on the Facebook page of the “BDE Eco-G”.

A false "traditional" course

We recognize the same amphitheater and we can especially distinguish (at 2'56) the same teacher as the one visible in the viral video, as well as the Internet user smoking the shisha (from 3'20, from another angle), while the amphitheater sings Vegedream's song “Bring the Cup Home”, as in one of the viral previews on Twitter.

This song already gave a clue on the date of the sequence, since it was particularly popular during the summer of 2018, to celebrate the victory of the France team in the FIFA World Cup.

The organization of a false course which slips by way of welcoming new students is obviously one of the habits of this BDE since there is a similar video for the start of the 2017 school year - with the help of the same professor.

In view of the many reactions aroused by his series of viral videos, the internet user concerned himself ended up specifying that they did not date from this year.

"I see that there are more fools than expected in this country so we are going to clear things up!

The video in the amphitheater was a

prank

[a joke] of the BDE and the teacher towards the L1 which dates from 2018, as proof I put you the final scene that I did not post yesterday, gift ”, explained- thus, diffusing in the passage the duel of fencing between one of the members of the BDE disguised as knight and the professor.

I see that there are more fools than expected in this country so let's get things straight!

A sequence that we find again in the Facebook video of 2018, filmed, from 0'44, from the upper stands of the room.
