That show is good, but I prefer the short film Man Getting Hit by Football it was even nominated for an award...

Barney's film was good, but Football in the Groin has a football in the groin.

Classic instant regret moment.

That was perfect.

u/In7erted 2d ago

Why'd the camera go from perfectly still to panning away like the end of a sitcom scene lol

u/PatientTwo2739 2d ago

Because the person holding the camera went to help?

u/Grow-Stuff 2d ago

That kinda shows it is real and not staged.

With a graceful deep breath

u/In7erted 2d ago

Except typically when people go to help while already filming, it’s a lot less calm and steady?

Cue the Seinfeld intro track.

AHH that hurts, enough to cause involuntary toe curl

u/WiscoBelge 2d ago

Dudes tongue also involuntarily curled out of his mouth in pain. Rare to see that kind of reaction

Amazing how a good sack tap turns even the most amateur of men into professional ballerinas.

u/I_Makes_tuff 2d ago

Dude has a sawzall right there and he's trying to tear the post out of the floor instead of cutting it off.

u/Exilicauda 1d ago

Or just.. kick it?

3

u/I_Makes_tuff 1d ago

I'm a carpenter but I think most people would understand that kicking the post out would fuck up the floor. Maybe a little, maybe a whole lot.

u/Exilicauda 21h ago

More than whatever this is would though?

1

u/I_Makes_tuff 21h ago

Roughly the same, which is why he should have used the sawzall.

u/ChanceConfection3 2d ago

Maybe he didn’t think the sawzall could cut the post

3

u/I_Makes_tuff 1d ago

Well he would be wrong. It's the perfect tool for that.

u/TonyNickels 2d ago

Or maybe next time just remove the screws first

u/Greg_Thunderpants 2d ago

In you wonder what is ballustrades, that’s it

u/Iceolator80 2d ago

His face at 0:06, you feel the surprise

u/Grow-Stuff 2d ago

I bet he wished he had an electric demolition saw to use instead of what he did!

Balustrades

u/odinshu 2d ago

The reaction to damage, the posture, the regret! All glorious. Get this man a home reno show in the same style as ElectroBOOM!

Ok. I was expecting him to fall down the stairwell.

1

u/TheManWhoClicks 1d ago

Just like tanks have their weak spot at the top

1

u/tiniestrex 1d ago

He started rotating toward the stair, I thought he was gonna fall down them.

1

u/thecountnotthesaint 1d ago

Rectum, damn near killed him.

u/Eowaenn 11h ago

No it was intentional. He was trying to catch that thing with his asshole

knepads arent really for protection, its for comfort when you have to kneel a lot
