For a couple of frames I was like, "OH SHIT," but then I was like, "OOOOH SHIIIIT."

[–]IIdsandsII 561 points562 points ago

my favorite part was where OP's title didn't contain the word level followed by a colon.

[–]bareju 332 points333 points ago

For the slower redditors -

Bowling level: Master.

Actually it would probably be more like Bowling Level: Asian

Calm down Aziz Ansari

[–]jack12354 13 points14 points ago

For me, it did that thing where it loads in really slow motion, then it jumped to fast speed right as he started going upside down, then plays the rest of it really fast, so I was like, oh, a guy bowling, okay, this is kinda slo-HOLYSHITWHATTHEFUCKWASTHAT. Oh, he was doing a flip. WAIT HE WAS DOING A FLIP AND GOT A STRIKE.

[–]AreYouFuckingSerious 322 points323 points ago

Ah, the graceful, deadly and little known martial art style of Ten Pin Jitsu. It has been years since a true master has emerged.

[–]makesureimjewish 166 points167 points ago

Excuse me, I need to see your Jew-card.

[–]Silentlemon 14 points15 points ago

Only the turkey, master of all four bowling balls, could stop them. But when the world needed him most, he vanished

[–]Wolverinejoe 5 points6 points ago

Are you Jewish?

[–]makesureimjewish 4 points5 points ago

sure am

[–]Wolverinejoe 5 points6 points ago

Cool, just making sure.

[–]betterworkonthat 130 points131 points ago

This is not 'Nam. This is bowling. There are rules.

[–]redpenquin 64 points65 points ago

You're not wrong, Walter. You're just an asshole.

[–]BrandtCantWatch 27 points28 points ago

Hes throwing rocks tonight. Mark it, dude.

[–]tinnman 57 points58 points ago

I love that he hit it Brooklyn style on top of it all.

[–]iambetterthanu 40 points41 points ago

That just makes it lucky

[–]Russlethud 21 points22 points ago

This is correct.

Source: I bowl.

[–]goodBEan 3 points4 points ago

I can confirm

Source: used to bowl and former pinsetter mechanic

[–]t55 10 points11 points ago

What's Brooklyn style?

[–]mrchhre 20 points21 points ago

see how the ball curves from left to right, but makes contact with the right side of the first pin? that's called a brooklyn side strike or just a brooklyn strike.

ideally, having the ball strike the "pocket" between the first and second pin on the LEFT side of the pin set(assuming the above curve, out to the left, then into the pins) is vastly more reliable, hence some of the "luck" comments on here.

decent illustration of a better "pocket" strike: http://ffden-2.phys.uaf.edu/211_fall2004.web.dir/craig_stephenson/hook.jpg

[–]shadow1515 14 points15 points ago

I'm just baffled that people can even aim a bowling ball, let alone aim it so precisely.

[–]HawaiianDry 6 points7 points ago

Brooklyn is when a left handed bowler lands it between the 1 and 3 pins, or when a right handed bowler lands it between the 1 and 2 pins.

[–]n1ffuM 3 points4 points ago

But the person in the OP's gif is a righty who hit the 1-3 pocket.

[–]superbad 30 points31 points ago

Yeah, when you do it upside down, it's Sydney style, not Brooklyn.

[–]wyrmidon 0 points1 point ago

I assume it's hitting the one pin followed by the 3 pin on the outside instead of hitting it in the pocket (between the 1 and 2 pins from the side he was throwing).

[–]LShift 3 points4 points ago

when a ball is hooked from left to right, it's supposed to hit the left pocket (space between headpin and pin next to it) for maximum effect. When you hit the opposite, it's called brooklyn. It's considered "lucky" to get a strike like this, as a shot hitting the wrong pocket was most likely badly thrown or lined up.

in case your curious, it's called "jersey" when you do the same thing right to left.

[–]oOoleveloOo 12 points13 points ago

It'll be OP's guy vs this guy in the finals

[–]gh0st32 14 points15 points ago

Awesome but I kept looking at Senna on the backboard or whatever it is called.

[–]FritzMeister 41 points42 points ago

Quite the contrast to this, posted earlier this week.

[–]Platypoctopus 6 points7 points ago

What on earth is being ejected from the dent she made?

[–]bareju 23 points24 points ago

Pure darkness.

Edit: later comment says "but can he set off a sprinkler in the ceiling" which may be referencing this, so maybe water...? I dunno.

[–]chrisgl 11 points12 points ago

Water that's been sitting in the sprinkler pipes for a long time (hence the blackness (corrosion)).

[–]gtny 11 points12 points ago

Water from the sprinkler she hit. The pipes are full of water and if they're never used (i.e. no fire to trigger, not tested/flushed), then they can get really grimy inside. Real life sprinklers don't look all pristine and clean like movie ones do.

[–]McFeely_Smackup 9 points10 points ago

it's actually not water, it's an oily solution used to keep the pipes from rusting. Since it's not practical to flush the fire system through the sprinkler heads, they pre-fill it with the solution so that there's no water in the pipes until a fire pops the heads.

There are other solutions that use compressed air in the lines as well.

[–]Meloku171 35 points36 points ago

WTF! what happened to the little kid?

[–]digifork 34 points35 points ago

It was a viral campaign ad for a phone. No kids were harmed.

[–]studmuffffffin 18 points19 points ago

He died.

He got better.

[–]lmgur 2 points3 points ago

Can you put that on imgur? This link doesn't work for me.

[–]Subearoo 22 points23 points ago

But can he set off a sprinkler in the ceiling?

[–]jktharippa 9 points10 points ago

This guy must get so much bowling alley pussy

[–]anasztaizia 12 points13 points ago

The funny thing is, that's the only way he can get a strike.

[–]big_damn_zero 6 points7 points ago

He is Almighty Malachi, the bowling god.

at first I was surprised....then I saw the asian writing.

[–]CptSpiffyPanda 2 points3 points ago

Bowling is interesting because there is a perfect game. Not only that, a perfect game that is independent of who you are playing against. I don't know how professional bowling makes up for this.

I remember seeing a game of stunt bowling where the put chairs and ramps in the lane. They also made bizarre pin combinations.

[–]Misformisfortune 1 point2 points ago

I would totally break my wrist attempting this

[–]schattenteufel 1 point2 points ago

[–]Alexandur 0 points1 point ago

This is almost as cool as my style of "novelty bowling", which involves getting on my knees and rolling the ball as gently as I can. It takes about ten seconds to reach the pins, but, for some reason, I almost always get a strike this way. This guy is alright too, though.
