SHIT! Veterinarian Pulls Tons Out Of Incision In Cow's Gut

Arkaium says...

God, the whole time watching that I just wished I could have been standing there with a strong water hose... Or a bottle of disinfectant... OR SOMETHING TO WASH THAT S*** OFF, BLECH

Arkaium says...

The other two are hilarious, too. I love this idea, and I think they nail the tone and unnecessarily technical back and forth. Also love some of the very subtle sarcasm and passive aggressive jabs between them.

I thought his Robin Williams and Peter Falk were the best. Some were ok. Some were... off. Seems to all be in one take, which makes even the average ones more impressive. The Jackie Chan was horrendous, though.

"I speak for more than half the world's population..."
Since when the fuck does some college student represent anyone besides herself? I don't care what you're saying. Do NOT say you represent people when you really just wish you did.


If everyone thought that way, our history would be filled with far fewer world-changing speeches.

Most Dangerous Freeway Interchange Ever

Arkaium says...

I speak farsi. I shall translate what he says, roughly:

"This sign that you see here marks the exit to the Imamzadeh Hashem Shrine, which you can see is presently covered up. Precisely by this sign, in front of this exit, there's a warning sign which reads 'Risk of Death.' This exit is the freeway interchange between Qazvin and Rasht (two cities).

"Now allow us to show you the continuation of this exit so you can see why exactly they've posted a 'Risk of Death' warning. If you look along this path you can see, for example that car there, it enters and turns, and turns and then enters along this overpass we're standing upon. It continues on, and of course with these signs here it must follow this path, bending right, it continues, and then goes straight, straight, and then it goes down, and, it would appear, goes basically right along side oncoming traffic.

"Now, perhaps I've made a mistake in trying to figure this out, let's take a look at the reverse path. If the oncoming cars enter this interchange here, disregarding all the signs which must be wrong because they're pointing the opposite way, they come along, they go down, they pass right by that 'Risk of Death' sign, and then are again right along side the reverse oncoming traffic. I can't make heads or tails of it. I don't understand this whole setup, how this turns this way, this turns that way... Just, thank God I didn't study engineering because then of course people's lives would have been at risk (I detect sarcasm).

"Well you can see these cars here, and how much trouble they get into ahead. they're all stuck behind each other, thinking they'll easily get on the freeway and continue on their way to Rasht. But of course, they come across a 'Risk of Death' sign, and then have to merge, multiple cars, signalling to get on.

Interview of Iranian driver:

"Hello, sir. Where are you going?"

"I have no idea. I'm trying to make a u-turn."

"Do you realize what happens if you go this way?"

"No."

"If you continue this path here, you'll go straight and keep going and then return coming in the opposing direction of traffic coming from Qazvin headed for Rasht. You'll get crushed! And if you go back this way, you'll come off the interchange going directly opposed to traffic coming from Rasht headed for Qazvin. How did you get on this interchange?"

"They made this thing, how is it supposed to work?"

"I don't know how it's supposed to work, how do you think it was supposed to work?"

"I have no idea. <Unintelligible>"

"What do you have to say to the engineer of this overpass, regarding all this metal and cement and labor and resources that were used on this, what do you want to ask them?"

"Why did they make this overpass? what were they thinking?"

•••••

End:

"And now, our question of the engineers is this: at the time they were building this overpass, with thought to how much this cost to make in money and resources, why/how this overpass ended up like this? While they were building this thing, didn't any engineer, any construction worker, anyone who was working on it oversee this and ask 'what's the deal with this thing? where does the entrance go? where does the exit?' Really, that's what we ask our viewers. How?"

Epic Repel Fail

Arkaium says...

Don't they realize before they attempt stuff like this that they've seen (and probably laughed at) countless videos on the internet that depict exactly this kind of endeavor going completely and utterly awry?

Ready, set, go! Noooooooooooooooo!
