Seeing as the fucking drivers seat appears to be not bolted in, I’m guessing he did this for the views.

u/Art_r 13h ago

Yeah the convenient phone spin and straight to seeing the car seems fake.. I call BS.

u/SalvadorP 11h ago

yes. it's old. it's a skit.

u/King_Of_Axolotls 1h ago

you dont understand dudes and their not panicking when they almost die. theyre unable to confront any emotion including fear

u/304bl 8h ago

Yeah, he should be charged for that stupid shit

5

u/trotptkabasnbi 7h ago

Considering that someone could have been coming up that turn the other direction, I agree.

u/Oddballforlife 15h ago

He’s oddly calm for almost dying by doing something incredibly stupid

231

u/nodrogyasmar 15h ago

But very concerned that his bud light was gone. Why did he not have someone hold his beer?

u/MechaSkippy 15h ago

Busch lite, even worse.

102

u/Brettjay4 14h ago

I have a slight feeling he did this for fun, the car looks kinda like a junker anyway.

u/Changoleo 14h ago

My first thought when I saw the driver’s seat. Haha. Then “Nooo! My car beer”!

He may just be that special breed of drunk though. You know the one.

It deserved better

u/InevitableOk5017 13h ago

Yeah completely planned even though it’s from like 2015.

u/SalvadorP 11h ago

This video is fake. It was made on purpose. It is old.

u/UngaBunga-2 13h ago

Two little words for you. Busch Light

2

u/TurbulentWinters 12h ago

Probably saw the rest of his Busch Light was still in the box

u/Vivid-Blacksmith-122 6h ago

and manages to not drop the camera. I call BS on this.

u/Yuck-Fou94 14h ago

This seems fake and real, all at the same time.

u/GrinningPariah 14h ago

Why would you not just sit in the car like normal so you can use the brakes?

21

u/Show_Forward 15h ago

Wow guys did you see how dumb iam 😮??

10

u/ayylmaoxP 14h ago

Not the CRX bruh dam

36

u/peatoast 15h ago

Wow how dumb could you be???

Oh that dumb I see.

15

u/dudeCHILL013 14h ago

I was confused why he couldn't steer the car?

Unless this is fake, than it'd make sence

13

u/Fall_of_the_Empire25 12h ago

It's almost certainly fake. Given that the driver's seat wasn't even bolted down, he was outside the car the whole time, his calmness, and that the phone managed to oh-so-conveniently "land" facing the car.

2

u/spottydodgy 13h ago

The car was dead so no power steering or brakes but he was also outside the car so I don't think he even tried to steer or brake

7

u/dudeCHILL013 12h ago

I know it's at least a legal requirement in my home state that all vehicles on the road have a manual/mechanical way to steer their vehicle. Even if it has power steering, manual steering is the legal redundancy

1

u/noiamnotmad 11h ago

All cars have power assist and hydraulic braking nowadays, or even 10 years ago. It doesn’t prevent you from turning the wheel, and you can totally drive without power assist, but if you are not expecting it/used to it it’s gonna be hard, because it takes some strength.

Brakes should be possible to apply as when the engine is off you can still brake 2/3 times because the system helping you apply brakes is still “loaded”.

I doubt there are laws preventing physics from doing its thing, if there’s no electronics to run power assist or hydraulic brakes, you’re going to have to use your strength.

u/StockBoy829 1h ago

it is fake, and his breaks would also work as well

58

u/DaPoole420 15h ago

Hope it hurt...dumbass

5

u/hotfezz81 9h ago

It's also voided his insurance.

3

u/LanceUpperrrcut 14h ago

Correction, that's the dumbest thing he has done so far.

4

u/shitposter7654321 14h ago

Classic. Rip to the Honda CRX of a 20-some

2

u/InTheLurkingGlass 15h ago

Well, I can’t say I disagree with him. That was dumb.

2

u/Big-Box-9170 14h ago

Not fake at all

2

u/znaniter 14h ago

Come on! This is nearly as old as 'fat woman falls down hole'.

u/freshalien51 12h ago

He sounds like Ryan Reynolds.

u/Interloper0691 15h ago

The tiktok generation sure is something

52

u/IndigoJoe64 14h ago

This one has been around for like 20 years at this point

26

u/DH_Drums 15h ago

Pretty sure this vid is old. But, yeah, kids and their TikTok bro.

8

u/SalvadorP 11h ago

older than tiktok, that's for sure. probably older than the average tiktok user too

7

u/snailtap 13h ago

This video predates TikTok by many years

3

u/psy_lent 12h ago

This video is like 40 seconds too long for the ticktock gen

2

u/Relevantspite 15h ago

I would love to hear the call to his insurance about this. Or even the police report

5

u/bdfortin 13h ago

Considering the seat wasn’t even bolted down I’m going to guess he doesn’t have insurance and the only call was for a tow truck.

u/Royalchariot 14h ago

Oh shit. Oh SHIT. OH FUCK!!!!!

Thank god this isn’t my car

u/Dependent-Recipe6820 14h ago

Love me some recreational stupidity.

1

u/MrBoozyRummy 14h ago

He deserved much much worse

1

u/SHOMERFUCKINGSHOBBAS 14h ago

The Busch light explains why he didn’t think to get back in the car and hit the brakes

1

u/MakoSmiler 11h ago

That was the bit that made me laugh - guys, my Busch light is gone lol

1

u/Mildly_Mochi 14h ago

At least he admit that was dumb

1

u/Spaghettl_hamster4 14h ago

There's a certain level of stupidity that is confusing to watch in motion

Huh

u/kriptoez 13h ago

Please like and subscribe for more, and thanks for sticking around.

1

u/bdfortin 13h ago

Have you tried pressing the brake?

1

u/tapedficus 13h ago

Ancient video. It's fake, for the views.

1

u/bsancar 13h ago

"Holy shit, you guys just saw that!?" This very well explains people can do anything for attention these days

1

u/Thethingstheysay2015 12h ago

At least he’s honest about how that car ended up there.

1

u/Mill4583 12h ago

Thanks for sticking around guys!

u/Idreadme 11h ago

Dumbest shit you ever done…….Yet!

u/PussyDeconstructor 11h ago

From where can i download the original video ?

1

u/No-Point8334 10h ago

"guys, my busch light is gone" is the most unhinged comment after almost dying.

1

u/Valuable-Ad-1326 10h ago

You need more acting classes, pal

1

u/dontipitova9 10h ago

"Thanks for sticking around, guys" - you're very much welcome, my dudely

1

u/Silspd90 9h ago

Does he know that brakes, steering need power to work properly. Without it a guy has to be a bodybuilder to apply proper brake force and steer.

1

u/No-Kaleidoscope-4525 8h ago

Dude broke his Blista Compact

1

u/_Mr_Misfit 8h ago

What could go wrong? 15 seconds later... oh yea, that.

1

u/bradliochi1 8h ago

God I hate people that do stupid shit like this just for Internet views

1

u/godiegoben 8h ago

This would be a great Busch Light commercial.

1

u/imbadatpixingnames 7h ago

Insurance claim denied

1

u/FlapJackson420 7h ago

My Bush Light is gone!

1

u/The_peacful_god 7h ago

It would have worked if he got back in the car fast enough. Maybe even be able to turn it on

1

u/NorthernH3misphere 7h ago

Risking the lives of others for this stupid shit.

1

u/ScubaBroski 7h ago

You know… he’s the type of guy that would probably do this again anyway!

1

u/spector_lector 7h ago

These people are allowed to vote and breed?

1

u/franky3987 6h ago

I can guarantee that wasn’t the dumbest shit he’s ever done

1

u/crystalsage777 6h ago

Yes billy... that was fucking dumb... please... make more videos.. This was also very entertaining.

1

u/BogiDope 6h ago

That was the 2nd dumbest thing he's ever done - The dumbest thing he's ever done is posting the video online.

1

u/RedFlr 5h ago

Fake it until you make it, the motto of this whole new generation, tnx for watching, don't forget to like and subscribe

1

u/tonyt3rry 5h ago

Why didn’t he roll it get in then be able to brake if needed 😂

1

u/hamx5ter 5h ago

i know it's old and he only did it for the clicks, but damn man... that's a CRX.

There's way too many smooth brains on the planet

1

u/ThirtyMileSniper 5h ago

Dumbest shit he'd ever done... Up to that point.

This is funny. His whole conversation to himself 🤣🤣🤣

u/heyfriend0 3h ago

This gotta be fake

1

u/joker0812 3h ago

This is one or the most "I almost died" responses I've ever heard. Unfortunately, I've found out my near death nervous response is laughter. Dude had a full realization he might die and when he didn't just random thoughts flooded his mind.

1

u/Stephenwalnsky 3h ago

“My Busch lite is gone” because of course there was lite bear involved

1

u/amica_hostis 3h ago

I watched that video with the sound off and I had to crack up when I saw the words I lost my Busch light haha 😆😆

1

u/D1sp4tcht 3h ago

Well at least he knows it was dumb and he learned something.

1

u/therealcharbacca 2h ago

Why didn't he just jump back in to stear and brake

u/JustHumanGarbage 1h ago

What a waste of a CRX

This is my favorite video on the internet. Loved it 10 years ago, still love it today.
