Two things:

  1. Holy crap, I have not seen the force gif in SO LONG!

  2. The guy going "What the fuck..." at the end really made it the great gif it is.

Edit: I thought he was saying "motherfucker..." but, I was wrong.

[–]WillSnipeForPie 7 points8 points ago

Fyi, that guy is Tom Delonge from Blink 182. That is a clip from on of their music videos.

[–]live2bass 1 point2 points ago

The song is "First Date", to be exact.

[–]Alamoe01 2 points3 points ago

it looks like hes saying "what the fuck"

[–]kinguzumaki 1 point2 points ago

Ah, you're right, let me fix my comment. Thank you, you scholarly gentleman, you!

[–]live2bass 1 point2 points ago

That part of the gif is from blink-182's music video for "First Date", where they all dress up like it's some kind of 70's low-quality video. The whole video is pretty funny, actually. Link

[–]loverofreeses 0 points1 point ago

I concur with both of your observations. Haha, the "WTF" guy at the end truly makes it.

This might be the third time today i've seen this guys aftermath. Man, he's really leaving quite the path of destruction behind him.

[–]terrible_things 1 point2 points ago

So you did see the pic then?

[–]supersonicbacon 1 point2 points ago

Ah, never saw the pick, just the reactions.

I can't find the opposite GIF where Christian Bale receives the upvote, but if I could I would post it here.

Thank you.

[–]ListenToThatSound 6 points7 points ago

Hey, no problem. It's one of my favorite youtube videos.

[–]Sinfulblissful 8 points9 points ago

Ok I I finally stop laughing enough to say, that was the funniest thing I will see this year.

[–]rehu4 61 points62 points ago

I can't stop laughing. The vision of the cat with all legs spread out in anticipation. Sky diving cat style.

[–]mowrawn 43 points44 points ago

You should definitely check out the video version then. It includes relevant soundtrack.

Edit: link for the lazy (was on mobile before) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Awf45u6zrP0

Edit2: Apparently swype substituted the wrong word, for all of you defiant asses.

[–]SaucyFire 19 points20 points ago

There is also Stoya's version: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kYxX2YKGdvM

[–]Emperor_Zar 6 points7 points ago

Yes defiantly, because it is against human moral fiber to seek and watch the video. Be rebellious! Be defiant! Watch the video!

[–]velvetfoot 4 points5 points ago

I almost downvoted you because I saw your comment started with "Yes defiantly".

[–]rehu4 1 point2 points ago

Link for the lazy? Ok I will google.. Slowly.. Waiting for lazy link still though..

[–]mowrawn 2 points3 points ago

Linked, my lazy sir.

[–]rehu4 3 points4 points ago

Thanks.. You called me a sir.. I feel so manly and complimented..

[–]mowrawn 3 points4 points ago

Unless you're a woman, in which case I was insulting and condescending.

[–]rehu4 1 point2 points ago

Nah.. You were not. I'm not going to get emotional and overly sensitive for you watching my username and determining my sex randomly. :)

[–]mowrawn 2 points3 points ago

Truth be told, I didn't even look at your username. Based on the demographics of Reddit, "male" is typically a safe assumption, but probably not quite safe enough.

[–]rehu4 1 point2 points ago

Actually, I do that as well. I think everyone is male.. No offense to the reddit ladies..

[–]mowrawn 2 points3 points ago

We should decide on a gender neutral term for an internet user

I vote "nerd"

[–]SisRob 2 points3 points ago

I don't know if I'm defiant enough to do so.

[–]rickinyorkshire 1 point2 points ago

You should definitely include the link to the video.

[–]Beanstudd 1 point2 points ago

Maybe this is just me, but I don't understand why tons people like this video, find it's funny, or how this video got as popular as it did. I mean its kindof funny, maybe I just don't like the recent overuse of the song. Like a few days ago I was browsing Reddit and I was like there's something that's just nagging me in the back of my mind but what is it? OH YAH, it's me trying to understand why and how this video is so popular. I remember even FreddieW said it was one of his favorite all time youtube videos. I can understand it's universal appeal in that same sense charlie bit my finger or evolution of dance is appleaing. All humans like music or cats or cute naive kids. So I guess the juxtaposiotion of a cat, (which we think are pretty dexterious animals), missing a jump is funny because the outcome differs from our expectatons, combined with the comical spread eagle position of the cat in the air. The jump also times with a pleasing drop to good song which itself carries the meaning of the word 'sail' which can be applied in this situation to the cat's movement. Another layer of humor resides in the difference between the tone created by the song and the humorous situation of the cat jumping. Like the singer is describing something beautiful and meaningful but it is being applied to a cat jumping out a window. I still don't know though, maybe I don't find it as funny because I'm cynical and I just see it for being a boring repetitious template of new age memetic humor, in the same sense that advice animals and rage comic used to be hilarious, but now their rampant overuse and average drop in value have certainly tained the approachability and acceptability of their humor in general to an new unrecoverable state of lowest common denominator humor.

[–]daffydubs 2 points3 points ago

Shhh

[–]NoCarrierHasArrived 1 point2 points ago

The song "Sail" was used because the original video was referencing this.

It's why the first version was titled "Kitty Corliss 'Grinding the Crack'". The "Cat Jump Fail" version is just a repost.

[–]rasputinology 2 points3 points ago

And the cat fell so fast, it turned white!

[–]ClassicCat 12 points13 points ago

that seemed like a really long fall

[–]Steven_The_Nemo 31 points32 points ago

Yeah, but cats can fall really big distances and not be killed, or even hurt quite a lot. They have a small terminal velocity that they can survive, so even if dropped from ridiculous heights they could probably live. Or so I'm told. Meow.

[–]hkckoo 6 points7 points ago

this is true, my cat jumped out of a window, it was like 18-20 meters high, only scratched nose

[–]Garg27 9 points10 points ago

I believe there is a deadly zone of about floors 3-6 or something. Anything above and below that and they'll be mostly ok.

[–]Llama_Farma 16 points17 points ago

Deadly zone is 7 stories, I remember watching an hour long show on it and wondering what I was doing with my life

[–]fancynips 0 points1 point ago

They had a radiolab episode about this and one of the speakers brought up a good point as to why this theory may not be true.

[–]AmbivalentFeelings 5 points6 points ago

if say there's a survivable terminal velocity, how does going higher help or going slightly slower not help?

[–]PlentyGreat 6 points7 points ago

It's because part of the cat's relatively low terminal velocity is its ability to fall in such a way that increases drag. Problem is that the cat needs a few seconds to get itself falling in such a way to maximise drag, but before floor 7ish it doesn't quite get the time.

[–]AmbivalentFeelings 2 points3 points ago

I was thinking there might be a twist factor there too where the cat needs time to rotate.

[–]Garg27 0 points1 point ago

They splay out in a kind of gliding fashion

[–]U731lvr 6 points7 points ago

The cat cracked the windshield of the car.

Likely means the cat fractured a number of bones and suffered a lot of internal bruising. I doubt it survived.

[–]sicki 38 points39 points ago

That is a really depressing cake-day post, friend...

[–]Kniepic 4 points5 points ago

What? Simply put, no.

They can survive falling onto hard ground from great heights, you telling me that when it falls onto something that gives it then suddenly gets injured?

[–]U731lvr 7 points8 points ago

Anything that lands with enough force to broadly crack a modern windshield is hitting with a large amount of kinetic force.

[–]Andypwns 12 points13 points ago

I'm interning with my local police station. One day we came up on two people who got into a fender bender. The young lady who hit the older lady from behind wasn't wearing a seat belt and her head smashed into the window causing it to smash outward in like a little bubble imprint of her skull. She was probably 100% fine, the officer cleared her as being able to drive from the scene. Those windows are made to adsorb some of the impact so peoples heads don't splatter when they hit them.

[–]yosem1te 2 points3 points ago

EMT here, be careful with the 100% fine statement. A lot of shit can go down inside someones head that doesn't manifest until a couple days later. They might seem fine in the moment, but they should definitely be checked out by a doctor.

[–]Tenstone 4 points5 points ago

The fact that the windshield cracked makes it less likely the cat was harmed since the car took most of the force.

[–]Oneforyou 2 points3 points ago

yeah but may be the cat's bones are strong enough to resist such kinetic force.

It's also really depending on the angle.. saying the "glass is broken" isn't enough to tell if this cat had some injuries. From the seconds that follow he doesnt seem so hurt for "a multiple bones fractured cat".

[–]phishf00d 0 points1 point ago

True, the cat probably absorbed some of the impact with muscles. Then the glass cracking will have absorbed some of the energy too - like a helmet, the helmet breaks to absorb enough energy that your head doesn't. Same could well apply here.

The cat also seems to move off fine with no horrible twitches that would indicate brain damage or limping to indicate a broken leg so I'd say bruising at worst.

[–]Chriamon 2 points3 points ago

pretty sure when the original gif was posted the OP said it was from a security camera and the cat has no injuries.

[–]Kniepic 0 points1 point ago

You're not seeing the point here.

Cats can survive great falls. That terminal velocity was enough to crack the windshield, yes, but isn't enough to maim the cat.

[–]too_many_secrets 0 points1 point ago

Joking around my buddy hit his brakes making fun of another driver. I knew he was doing it and I threw myself forward against the dash and windshield. I really didn't hit it that hard and cracked the whole damn windshield. We just pulled over and stared at each other. No blood, bruise...swelling nothing..didn't hurt. It's possible that cat was just fine.

[–]Steven_The_Nemo 0 points1 point ago

It did walk away after that fall. It just walked away. It doesn't care for your "gravity" or some such nonsense.

[–]Brammelam 22 points23 points ago

[–]Fuzzy_Pickles 10 points11 points ago

I have improved upon this gif. I have also missed my bus to work by doing so. I am okay with this.

Judging from the delay that cat jumped from the sixth floor.

Source: Used to throw things off the eighth floor.

[–]I_call_the_shotgun 6 points7 points ago

Have you ever thrown a cat out of the eight floor?

[–]DoxBox 17 points18 points ago

Yeah, but she was in her cat carrier at the time.

anyone can give me a link for the second gif? looking for it for days

[–]MacrosInHisSleep 5 points6 points ago

hmm, you can see the cat fall in the reflection...

I love how he just saunters off like it was part of his plan.

I've never seen that video prior and I must say the timing was beautiful.

Seriously, it's amazing! I'm assuming it's been edited to some degree, but still!

[–]pizzlybear 1 point2 points ago

How about combining the one where the guy accidentally kicks his cat and cut to it landing on the car. If I had any skills I'd make it myself, but I don't.

[–]rdouma 2 points3 points ago

Brilliant! Thanks for a good laugh. Still giggling.

[–]daisnny 2 points3 points ago
