The worst/best part of that video is the falling sign just as he's passing. I've stood next to those signs. They're HUGE. So much bigger than you'd think.

[–]sigaven 3 points4 points ago

Seriously, why doesn't everybody just STOP and wait for it to stop shaking? I'd be scared that whole thing would come down and crush my car!

[–]phill21 0 points1 point ago

In Calgary, it's a cardinal sin to stop on the Deerfoot (the highway they are on in the gif)

[–]sigaven 2 points3 points ago

Including when a giant sign like that is under threat of imminent collapse? I'm pretty sure it's cardinal sin to stop on ANY freeway anywhere, except for unusual situations like this.

[–]arrr2d2 1 point2 points ago

Killed by the sign, or by the 20,000 people behind you. TAKE YOUR PICK.

[–]sigaven 1 point2 points ago

I'm pretty sure people behind you would understand. And would stop as well.

[–]Canic 0 points1 point ago

You've obviously never driven the deerfoot...

If you're not going 20 over the speed limit you will have people riding your ass and swerving around you to cut you off.

[–]sigaven 1 point2 points ago

Yeah, there's other highways in the world like that, bud. Shit happens on them and people stop.

[–]arrr2d2 0 points1 point ago

The reality is, if you stop, the other two lanes will continue to go, people behind you will go around you, and eventually, you'll relent and rejoin traffic, only to be killed by a falling sign.

[–]thewrongkindofbacon 0 points1 point ago

I understand people slow down as they approach the signs, but, shit - for Joseph-Ignace Guillotin's sake - speed up when you're driving under it.

[–]GeneralBS 0 points1 point ago

but video...

[–]Mehverick 18 points19 points ago

In all honesty, I'd be scared shitless. I'm a worrier.

[–]CoyoteStark 6 points7 points ago

Is that why your friends call you "Whiskers"?

[–]InferiousX 1 point2 points ago

God damnit I knew that somewhere in my brain, I knew this reference but had to Google it anyway.

[–]BeamServer 34 points35 points ago

Highway to Toon Town?

[–]Jollyranchr 4 points5 points ago

To Funky Town.

[–]ThrashDragon 8 points9 points ago

My only complaint is that it doesn't have eyes and a huge obnoxious smile

[–]shredpizza 1 point2 points ago

Yes! Scroll down someone posted that SHIIIT

[–]xeothought 6 points7 points ago

EDIT: Here we go! I found the post.

[–]pomatoe 2 points3 points ago

I came here looking for a funny edited version of the gif, you have delivered sir.

[–]ThrashDragon 0 points1 point ago

Thank you good Samaritan best. present. ever.

[–]Jewllz 4 points5 points ago

Yes this happened in calgary and the sign fell off

[–]rafiislost 4 points5 points ago

If I saw this shit, I'd just pull over and wait.

[–]knifegash 5 points6 points ago

Gotta put in that time for dat karmaz!

[–]SpaceCopDog 3 points4 points ago

It's peanut butter jelly time.

[–]Radioactiveraddish 2 points3 points ago

I believe this happened in Calgary

[–]alttp_player01 2 points3 points ago

I can't even watch this without instinctually putting my foot on the brakes.

[–]A_walmart_greeter 3 points4 points ago

Driving and interneting is bad

[–]taboo007 2 points3 points ago

How pissed would the truck driver be if the sign feel on the trailer and it slices it open and spills everywhere.

[–]Septemberz 2 points3 points ago

I love that the guy on the far right lane is just like "fuck this".

[–]RJ815 2 points3 points ago

Dat resonance.

Clicked the link and thought to myself, "Why is that road sign twerking?"

[–]johnlisankie 0 points1 point ago

nope.

[–]StupidtheElf 0 points1 point ago

Why is everyone driving so slow? Drive faster!

[–]keep-on-scrolling 0 points1 point ago

Watch this while listening to dubstep

[–]drewskii 1 point2 points ago

Showed it to my brother, a licensed professional civil engineer. His comment:

"Wind resonance. I bet they didn't attach the fins."

It turns out the stretch of tubing across the bridge normally has fins to deflect the wind in random directions to keep this from happening. Sometimes they don't get installed.

[–]EnormousCock 0 points1 point ago

Sign, you're drunk. Get down from there.

[–]Digipy 0 points1 point ago

Is someone gonna photoshop it shitting on the highway or crapping out downvotes?

[–]dam13 0 points1 point ago

I wanted it to bend down and slice the tanker in half. Then I remembered that life is not a Michael Bay film...

[–]Flyinglol 0 points1 point ago

It's doing pushups

[–]comp7779 0 points1 point ago

I feel like it should be singing a jaunty tune. With a tophat.

[–]bangzoomstraitmoon 0 points1 point ago

This should have somehow been in the Kitty City video.

[–]hornetblack 0 points1 point ago

Reminds me of Engineering 1000. Look what happens if you screw up.
