Oh this is once again fantastic. Instant upvote.

Simply awesome

Nicely done, and does highlight that in 98.456% of cases it's the guy who has to get up the courage to ask a girl for a date, and for those girls who do brutally rebuff said guy, it's pretty darn crushing.

So girls, if a guy asks you who you may think is beneath you, or just plain creepy... let him down easy, it's probably taken an awful lot to get up the courage to ask in the first place.

From now on I'm packing Mentos.

Yeah, i know my view is far from universal. the votes alone show that

um, wow. read the comments in the other vid and you guys get bent outta shape for the strangest reasons sometimes.

realism? really? and wait, where does this happen in real life?

Agree with pho3n1x. Though I suppose it shows how successful this video is. It takes the parody to the extreme and works.
In short: it's super duper!

Wow, that sounded like a personal experience to me...

Isn't it funny how much more support this video gets than it did 5 months ago?

The ending made up for the shit acting. Barely.

I still don't like this one...

I haven't seen a mentos commercial in soooo long.


But this still got my up vote, like previously said, despite the bad acting.

Personally witnessed someone attacking another person recently. Yeah, I have two essentially unrelated stories in the one post. <shrug>

Bizarrely enough, I found myself at the same 'camera angle', so to speak, pulling the attacker off the victim.

Even if there's no squibs going off, it's a sickening, *dark sight to behold, and I'm sickened with each and every one of you for enjoying this.

For shame.

Adding video to channels (Dark) - requested by Krupo.

wait, so the guy in the subway had mentos and he was trying to hit on the other guy and got rejected? i don't understand.

on the same level as what you're trying to compare realism to this video, you should never watch Karate Kid, or any violent movie, really...

someone just going off on someone for no reason in real life is sickening... this video is funny.

This is not offensive in any way, if he had stabbed her or something, then maybe, but this is really not offensive.

Krupo, it annoys me to no end that you try to shame the rest of us for having a sense of humor. Fuck you and you politically correct sensibilities. (I could have said it in nicer terms, but me and this "Internet" have kind of a Shining thing going on.)

whew, those comments in the other thread are pretty rough.

^People seem to get a hair up their asses as soon as the slightest bit of woman bashing is done. Bah, they can take it.

It's interesting. All socially repressed males likely rejoiced when the guy cracked her, and yet most would probably never hit a girl, and spit on those who do.

I suppose these are our primal "instincts" or whatever you'd like to call them coming out.

This is similar to the reaction people have when someone who did something wrong gets punished in spades, and unjustly so. For example, many people would savagely rejoice to hear of a rapist being castrated and bled to death for what he did. Is that a just fate in a civilized society? No. Are these people sick in the mind? Seemingly.

But not necessarily.

I am not saying that I am apparently psychotic and think that cruelly rejecting a person is a crime and deserves significant retribution, by the way.

These are normal reactions. What of ourselves individually and as a species, at our lowest levels comprises them; who knows? Are they morally correct? No.

Also, you are correct in being disturbed by this reaction. I just thought I'd shed some light on exactly what was going on.

Save your breath for Sharia law and 18 year old girls that get convicted of Grand Theft for stealing a plastic Christmas lawn ornament that happened to have a $5000 GPS transmitter in it.

It's clear that I have the superior sense of humour and am shaming you for having a sense of humour that sucks worse than Palin.

I went there.

And in the sequel, a white kid lynches a black kid who gets better grades than him.
Or maybe a straight kid beats up a gay kid who hits on him.



Why is this in the realm of Not Funny?

it's distressingly common.
5.3 million women are abused each year.

College is already full of sexual assault and victimization of women
During the current academic year, the researchers found much higher rates of other kinds of sexual victimization involving physical force and nonphysical force. Sixteen percent reported that they were sexually victimized during the current academic year; 8 percent had experiences involving force or the threat of force, and 11 percent were victimized without force. (Some women reported both kinds of experiences, which is why the numbers do not add up to 16 percent).

^ Yes, but how many involved Mentos?!

Wait, wait! Now, imagine it is your sister being beat up. Haha! Your mom comes in to break it up only to get her face bashed up. Can we throw in you wittle granma? Ooooh hilarity ensues!
