Wes Glinsmann — Wed, 15 May 2013 14:00:18 +0000

Riding a motorcycle at 200+ miles per hour with just a helmet and some thin racing gear as the only things between you and possible death is pretty impressive. It’s even impressive when you fall off the bike and escape with nothing more than a broken foot and an insane case of road rash. Chris [...]

Video Proof of Why Dads Shouldn't Skateboard — Daily Distraction

Daily Distraction — Mon, 28 Jan 2013 09:00:20 +0000

[onescreen item="5005278"] Dads are great at so much: teaching us how to play catch, embarrassing us in front of our friends when we’re in high school, fixing that step on the porch, etc. But skateboarding is not one of those things. Though the lovable dad in this clip isn’t trying to ride the skateboard, he still manages [...]

Security Guard Accidentally Shoots off His Own Wiener

Mike Adams — Wed, 23 Jan 2013 20:11:49 +0000

There is nothing funny about an overzealous pistol-packer desperately trying to impress by waving a loaded gun around. That is, until the idiot forgets how to use the safety, and shoots his own pecker into one of his tube socks. At that point, we must admit: it is a bit hilarious.

Kyle Dowling — Sat, 10 Nov 2012 21:05:45 +0000

One would think that seeing a fire ignite inside their car would be a good indication to get the hell out. However, if you’re a race car driver, it seems safety is second-tier to finishing the race. Just ask pro Rally Driver, Ken Block, who recently had a fire ignite inside his Ford Fiesta during [...]

Man Foolishly Tries to Ride Water Cannon

Emerald Catron — Thu, 08 Nov 2012 19:52:33 +0000

We’re not really sure why anybody would try to sit on a pipe gushing water unless they just really wished they had a chair. This guy is clearly in need of a chair. He regrets it soon enough, because one does not simply sit on a pipe like that. Hopefully he learned a lesson. The [...]

Watch this Wrestler Moonsault Onto His Head – If You Can

Kathy Landin — Fri, 02 Nov 2012 16:49:33 +0000

Wrestling is a brutal sport. Even if you’re in a more – we’ll call it choreographed - league, the moves are physical, require skill and can be rather punishing. And, if you don’t do them right you could kill yourself. If you mess up a move, and you’re lucky, you only land on your head instead of breaking your neck. Like this guy.

Dude Drives Car Through Department Store

Mike Moody — Sat, 20 Oct 2012 20:16:33 +0000

It’s hard to deny the infectious whimsy this video inspires. A few pranksters, most likely on a whim, decided to take a stroll in their K car through the inside of a department store. Lucky for them, the store’s security guards seem less than interested in doing their jobs. The guards just kind of look [...]

Jeremy Taylor — Mon, 01 Oct 2012 19:55:17 +0000

As many an unlucky motorist knows, deers don’t always have the proper respect for fast moving objects. Of course those encounters almost always end much worse for the animal. In the video above, a confused deer runs into something closer to its own size and lives to tell its deer friends about the dangers of [...]

Texting Woman Walks Off Cliff

Dan Seitz — Sat, 29 Sep 2012 19:44:48 +0000

Texting while driving? Dangerous. Texting while walking? Generally just a bit impolite if you’re in a crowded area. At least, that’s normally the case. If you live near a cliff, it might not be a great idea. Just ask Kodiak, AK resident Maria Pestrikoff, who was texting as she was walking. She was near the [...]

Independence Day Idiots [VIDEO]

Critter — Tue, 03 Jul 2012 20:09:04 +0000

There's nothing quite like the soft sizzling sounds of dead animal flesh on the grill, that intoxicating aroma of charcoal briquette smoke mixed with black and silver powder! Next to Christmas the Fourth Of July is my all time favorite holiday! God how I love blowing things up, cooking out on the grill, spending time with family and friends and of course celebrating our Independence with tons of grilled food and fireworks! Does it get more American than that? I think not!
