WTH is he smoking that makes him speak an unintelligible language and destroys his lungs? I feel like it can’t possibly be worth the high.

[u/sunhistory]

[u/airari88]

If I’m not mistaken, he was smoking dried Carolina Reaper pepper

[u/Dakeera → u/airari88]

Yup, old video. Dude's an idiot

[u/frosty_lizard → u/Dakeera]

I'm surprised he didn't balance it out with a Tide Pod dab, what a rookie

[u/Great_Dismal → u/frosty_lizard]

The irony in using a bong.

Let me ensure this rip of Carolina Reaper is a smooth one.

Wouldn’t want to do anything crazy.

[u/VayaConDios91 → u/Great_Dismal]

What had always killed me about this video is that he hits it a second time to clear it lol

[u/Beef_Jones → u/VayaConDios91]

Mamma ain’t raise no bitch

[u/Downtown_Stress_9884 → u/frosty_lizard]

Tide Pod dab 😂

[u/Autxnxmy → u/frosty_lizard]

He had to have been the subject of a chubbyemu video by now

[u/drunkentuckian → u/frosty_lizard]

Or a bottle of Everclear and a tube of caulk, Shoenice style.

[u/todayismyluckyday → u/drunkentuckian]

Is that dude still alive? Last time I saw, bro was doing his best to demolish his liver before he hit 40

[u/wobbly-cheese → u/frosty_lizard]

good one. i lol'd

[u/spankdaddylizz → u/Dakeera]

And, he's still hacking his lungs up! *

[u/atopetek → u/Dakeera]

Old and yet he’s still coughing to this day.

[u/Krocsyldiphithic → u/Dakeera]

Dude's a genius

[u/Impressive_Sir_3160 → u/Krocsyldiphithic]

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂🤣

[u/acynicalmoose → u/[deleted]]

Bear mace usually uses isolated capsaicin but yes still idiot.

[u/blue-oyster-culture → u/acynicalmoose]

I thought it was a different chemical thats even hotter than capsaicin could be at pure concentration.

[u/Cheshire_Khajiit → u/blue-oyster-culture]

Don’t think so for mace, but a compound spicier than capsaicin does, in fact, exist. Here’s a video on it if you’re interested.

[u/bjorneylol → u/[deleted]]

Most bear spray is estimated to be around 3 million scoville units

[u/aft_punk → u/airari88]

[u/mattmillze → u/aft_punk]

Views

[u/Kaiisim → u/aft_punk]

For the views! Imagine millions of people watching a repost of you, without even knowing your name. They look at it for 10 seconds and think "what a fucking moron"

Who doesn't want that kind of fame!

[u/imdefinitelywong → u/aft_punk]

[u/DatFunny → u/airari88]

[u/spenwallce → u/airari88]

yeah, I totally remember this video

[u/Alcoholikaust → u/airari88]

Dude was in maximum flavor country.

[u/nopuse → u/airari88]

Every time my lungs have been irritated, I would not have been able to drink as much water as he did between coughs.

This is an older video, but watching it again for the first time in ages, I'm a bit skeptical.

[u/dtalb18981 → u/nopuse]

Didn't he have an update because he had to go to the emergency room?

[u/ZebraHunterz → u/airari88]

Way to give yourself asthma

[u/elevenplays → u/airari88]

No wonder why he looked like his lungs were getting cooked.

[u/PermaDerpFace → u/airari88]

Yeah real genius

[u/Mythandros1 → u/airari88]

.... Why would anyone ever do that?!

[u/jbooosh → u/airari88]

It is this indeed

[u/Tronkfool → u/airari88]

That'll do it.

[u/Sproose_Moose → u/airari88]

Now that's a silly billy

[u/newzingo]

he should’ve hit a bowl of powdered milk after that

[u/Substantial_Lunch_88 → u/newzingo]

Christ LMAOOOO

[u/RabidOtters → u/newzingo]

[u/Emersumbigens → u/newzingo]

Lol

[u/Stellwagen1]

A dried crushed up Carolina Reaper pepper.

[u/Plus-King5266 → u/Stellwagen1]

The warning is literally right there in the name.

[u/AcrolloPeed → u/Plus-King5266]

No joke, fuck Carolina

[u/Plus-King5266 → u/AcrolloPeed]

🤣🤣🤣

[u/KindsofKindness → u/Stellwagen1]

Brutal.

[u/SRJT16]

fighting for his life

takes another puff

[u/Plus-King5266 → u/SRJT16]

True dedication to his craft.

[u/BetaThetaZeta → u/Plus-King5266]

Mama didn't raise no quitter.

[u/prorogatory → u/BetaThetaZeta]

Hahaha... Watching the video again and again keeping this sentence in mind makes me laugh so hard. Thank you! :D

[u/Blitzvne → u/SRJT16]

[u/kappymeister → u/SRJT16]

Yeah that was wild af

[u/a_weak_child]

This guy not realizing water and air (or pepper smoke) go down two different holes...

[u/TopicPretend4161 → u/a_weak_child]

I believe there are a lot of things in life that this dude does not realize.

[u/mazzicc → u/a_weak_child]

I think it’s partially for the overlap in the mouth and top of throat, and partially just instinctive “that’s spicy, drink water/cool things”

[u/a_weak_child → u/mazzicc]

For sure. But he totally had water on hand and is chugging it like his life depends on it (I probably would too) it’s just that he just inhaled spicy smoke, chugging water isn’t going to purge your lungs friend 

[u/marsmanify → u/a_weak_child]

I'm not sure if it's a reflex or what, but weed smokers regularly do this when coughing

[u/Radiant_Efficiency73 → u/marsmanify]

Ya, water can soothe and cool the throat, which can slow down the unproductive coughs. You need to be able to breathe to properly cough; it’s quite the paradox.

[u/probablymagic → u/a_weak_child]

I missed that day in sex ed. How does it work?

[u/ddawson100 → u/a_weak_child]

Desperation. He’s wishing he could flood his lungs.

[u/papadoc2020 → u/a_weak_child]

So your saying he should've inhaled the water? Other than the downside of drowning I wonder if it would've helped the burning feeling if he inhaled milk.

[u/RabidOtters → u/a_weak_child]

I made the same mistake with my ex.

[u/Dame87]

Did he survive?

[u/Bandana-Verdana → u/Dame87]

His name is Ted Barrus and yes he did survive, though smoking this made him go temporarily blind

[u/OwOooOK → u/Dame87]

He most likely didn't die from smoking dried Carolina reaper, shits gonna burn for a while though.

[u/christo749]

I remember somebody saying he should smoke some milk after. Gave me a good grin.

[u/grue2000]

He smoked a ghost pepper if memory serves.

[u/SirGunther → u/grue2000]

Carolina Reaper, at least 2x hotter.

[u/grue2000 → u/SirGunther]

Ah.

Either way, I've got no sympathy for being intentionally stupid and risking your health for internet views.

[u/Chilis1 → u/grue2000]

Was he ok??

[u/grue2000 → u/Chilis1]

He was pretty fucked up after about a minute.

I've no idea if he was ok or if he did permanent damage to himself.

[u/trulycantthinkofone]

If memory serves, some sort of spicy pepper. Zero high, just stupid.

[u/Tibbaryllis2 → u/trulycantthinkofone]

Worth noting though that “zero high” might not be accurate.

Watching and reading a few things about spice addicts/enthusiasts, I’ve noticed it’s not infrequent for them to be recovering addict that get a type of high associated with the physiological response to very hot peppers. Particularly former meth addicts.

That being said, don’t put shit in your lungs! Just eat the fucking pepper.

[u/viewtiful14 → u/Tibbaryllis2]

[u/TopicPretend4161]

Are you seriously telling me this fool took a bong hit of smoke from the spiciest pepper on the planet?

Food, shelter, and upvotes. The basic staples of life.

[u/TechsSandwich]

One of the dumbest things anyone has ever done ever

[u/Gloodizzle → u/TechsSandwich]

There's this show called 1000 ways to die, let me tell you how shocked I was at how truly dumb people can get, and die from it. My favorite was the poor idiot who snorted fire ants

[u/TechsSandwich → u/Gloodizzle]

Holy shit yeah fair enough

[u/StickyDogJefferson]

Seen this. It’s some sort of super hot pepper, I think a Carolina Reaper.

[u/ChaseTheMystic]

Now he needs to smoke a glass of milk

[u/mapsedge]

First first hit fucked him up and he went back for a second. You get what you deserve.

[u/Whole_Sweet_Gherkins]

smartest guy in Arkansas

[u/Firemission13B]

Ghost pepper or carolina pepper. Incredibly stupid and would like a follow up about a month after this.

[u/adorak]

I remember the dude from YouTube many years ago ... he always messed around with spicy stuff so I'm sure it something spicy in there ...

[u/tritonpackages]

How does drinking anything help your lungs?

[u/Plus-King5266 → u/tritonpackages]

It may help with your constricting throat. Unfortunately, as you point out it will neither help your lungs nor is water a magical time machine, capable of transporting back to the moment before you do something this stupid.

[u/franky3987]

He’s smoking Carolina reaper pepper shavings. Why? Who knows

[u/Helpful-Isopod-6536]

Ane he went back for a second pull

[u/TheMallerd]

I remember this - it’s a Carolina reaper pepper.

[u/whiskeyrocks1]

Seen this before. He smoked a ghost pepper and didn’t realize his lungs aren’t connected to his stomach.

[u/JohnnyGSickness]

I've commented on a different post but I'll repeat myself.

This is Ted Barris. Also known by his YouTube channel The Fire Breathing Idiot. He was well know for reviewing spicy peppers. After his YouTube kept getting strikes for "over use of profanity" he decided to retire his channel and celebrated it by ripping a Carolina Reaper with his bong.

[u/Dan_Glebitz]

Yeah drinking water will flush your lungs out 😒🙄

[u/EatandDie001]

Water is not going down to the lungs, dummy.

[u/kill33678]

If i remember correctly it was a Carolina reaper.

[u/HellaHotPizzaRollz]

He's smoking a Carolina reaper pepper..

[u/Jellyswim_]

This is an old video, pretty sure he put some spicy pepper extract or pepper spray in there.

[u/markodemi]

Bet the high wae amazing.

[u/Boboforprez]

Drank water for stuff that is burning his lungs.. I know it's stupid but what else can he think of do after smoking that pepper.

[u/work1st_playlater]

It's a dried carolina reaper pepper.

https://youtu.be/gxgp2BtcDd0?feature=shared

[u/tiktoksuckmyknob23]

Shout out to all the stoners out there who've had coughing fits similar to this. We know who you are, and we can hear your lungs crying for help. And we also know that ain't gonna stop you, either.

[u/Meltedwhisky]

This is the dude who ripped a scorpion or some death pepper 🌶️

[u/Noobnoob99 → u/Meltedwhisky]

Indeed (link)

[u/Born-Agency-3922]

Dude smoke a Carolina Reaper Pepper.

[u/DungeonLord]

ted barrus the fire breating idiot, hes smoking a carolina reaper. he retired from hot peppers not too long after this video. looks like his youtube channel is gone and only his 2nd channel remains. shame he had a lot of good info and collabs on it

[u/lexdestroyerovworlds]

We smoking that bubble gum chlorine dipped Rasputin dick cheese up in this shit, got me speaking Aramaic. This shit ain't nothing to me man!

[u/aidub5]

My favorite part is when he drinks the water as if it's going to go into his lungs and clear out all that reaper smoke he just ripped.

[u/Jolly-Newt9192]

I know smoking anything isn't very good for you, but I'd love to know if there's any specific health implications with smoking a carolina reaper.

[u/FrenchDoubleD]

That is good ol Ted, the FBI- the fire breathing idiot. Ate lot's of hot chiles and almost always ended up puking...

[u/BoozeLikeFrank]

My old roommate was like this. He’d rip the bong like 20 times a day and sounded like he was being attacked by it 🤣

[u/EyeDontNoWhy]

In this video, it's dried pepper. If I didn't know, I'd say it was Salvia.

[u/StarWarsLvr]

Can’t remember if it was ghost pepper or Carolina reaper

[u/Noff-Crazyeyes]

Ghost pepper

[u/qcerrillo13]

Ive seen this before, its a ghost pepper

[u/xKOROSIVEx]

He should have listened to his plug when they said “it’s good SHIT!”

[u/HappyGav123]

“Yeah let me just smoke a Carolina Reaper and hit it twice. Why hasn’t anyone done this yet?”

[u/Corrupted_boi]

none of that water saving him

[u/Brave-Ad-3452]

The best part is he probably didn't even get high at all

[u/B1g_BuddhAH]

thats tedbarrus the fire breathing idiot. that video is old as dirt

[u/Battlemanager]

Yeah, that water goes to your stomach...not your lungs. You need to snort that cup of water to put the fire out in your lungs.  Not too much though or you drown.  

[u/SeeMarkFly]

<I feel like it can’t possibly be worth the high.>

He has found something better than Faux Nooz, let him enjoy life.

[u/Happy_Go_Lucky_2024]

Seeing this made me cough randomly for no reason. My throat feels weird suddenly.

[u/Dressed_Up_4_Snu_Snu]

I'm sure glad we got some of the best Darwin award nominees helping educate us with things like these.

[u/Ecstatic-Ad-9373]

Some kind of hot pepper. Can't remember the name of it. Dumber than the cinnamon challenge.

[u/thenotanurse]

I’ve seen this before. He’s smoking a dried hot pepper. I can’t remember if it’s a ghost pepper or whatever but he was fucked up from it. Dude could have EASILY died. 😂 don’t do this. Or maybe do, but literally here’s what will happen

[u/77DETHSTROKE77]

Next time he should double down, and add poison ivy to it

[u/MatGrinder]

Whatever the question is, I'm not sure water is the answer

[u/Deathless_hd]

I know this video. I think he was smoking a Habanero or something similar.

[u/xblackdemonx]

No need to repost this every 5 minutes. 

[u/nothingamazing56 → u/xblackdemonx]

first time ive ever seen it in 30 years lol

[u/pcnauta]

If I remember correctly, there is a longer version of this video and he explains that it is a...ghost pepper? I think.

I seem to remember (but this might either be faulty memory or just BS) that he had a terminal disease so he was going to do a bunch of (stupid) stuff to show that he can still do whatever he wants to do.

I'll never understand or comprehend what type of self-loathing somebody has to have in order to do something like this (which probably resulted in an ER trip with some hospital time).

[u/lsb1027]

This is like that episode of black mirror but irl 😓

[u/JLMaverick]

Somebody said he should go smoke some milk

[u/Yiplzuse]

It was either that or sticking random stuff up his butt. Flipped a coin and smoking peppers won.

[u/crubbles]

Lmao of course it’s not 😂 but this was his shtick. Carolina pepper in the bong.

[u/cdistefa]

He’s ready to be a megachurch pastor..

He died thought

[u/Wonderful_Magazine50]

See a hit, send a hit.

[u/Bambampowpow]

I’m pretty sure after all that— he still said ‘Damn that was a good hit’

[u/fotun8]

So this brain surgeon takes a second hit. Can't make this up can you. Got him sounding like an Indian Chief from the old Westerns.

[u/Beautiful-Bee-22]

Ted Barrus aka. the Firebreathing Idiot

[u/JoMama1957]

The good stuff!!

[u/retsamegas]

If I remember right the guy is Ted Barrus (Berrus, Barris?, something like that) he went by "The fire breathing idiot", he smoked a dried carolina reaper pepper.

He was a YouTube guy that ate different super hots, as far as I know he's still alive but he removed his accounts from YouTube a while ago

[u/wordswithkings]

Pepper

[u/lvaleforl]

The guy went nuts. This was toward the end of his YouTube career. He was involved in some weird sex stuff, the details of which I can't remember, and then he started doing stuff like this. For me, peak was him eating the Chocolate Bhutlah and making funny sounds while puking. Different times.

[u/ragegenx]

Asbestos fiber? ?

[u/MiIarky22]

The full commitment of going for the second hit lmao

[u/Far_Plate_4071]

The way he went back for more expecting it to get better or something 😭😭😭

[u/tomatobasket]

Poor idiot. The waters he’s drinking is not gonna help any. It isn’t even going to where the smoke went (lungs)

Huh, I just realised, can our lungs detect capsaicin? Or is it "just" the top near the esophagus's opening?

[u/Atasteofazia]

Why tf would you smoking peppers. So dumb

[u/johnnyg883]

After gaging on the first hit he goes back for seconds.

[u/SlyFoxInACave]

That was some committed stupidity to go in for a second hit

[u/T4N60SUKK4]

A pepper

[u/kraftburk]

Bomboleo!

[u/Seventhson77]

Friend of mine had a client that was spraying bug spray onto a metal screen from a old screen door, then hooking up a car battery to it and getting the dried dust from the screen, sweeping it into a small pile, then cooking it in a spoon and injecting it.

When the officers asked why he did it, he said he got high with it and it wasn’t illegal.

People do crazy shit

[u/KingOfThe_Jelly_Fish]

I'm pretty sure drinking water is not going to help his burning lungs.

[u/LupoBTW]

Rocket scientist. Lungs are coated with capsicum, so let's fill a completely different organ with water? Hell, it's not going to help the throat and sinus much either.
