They're a group called The Swedicks. Here's the source.

They are a completely shitty version of the Jackass people.

[–]Lakario 7 points8 points ago

Is there a non-shitty version of Jackass?

[–]Fazaman 1 point2 points ago

Hell, Jackass isn't even a non-shitty version of Jackass.

Jackass makes these people look shitty?

Good find. I couldn't tell from the gif, but I was under the impression that the tree was way higher up. Now there's a bit of relativity.

Though I think they should have done it higher up anyway. Hopefully get rid of 2 out of 3 dumbasses from the gene pool.

I don't know how much you watched, but they cut the other guy down at the end.

Ha. You caught me. My attention span only lasted long enough to see the portion from the gif. :-P

They need a "This is done by professionals" disclaimer.

You mean the guy with the saw was still sitting and the rest of the tree fell over?

No more sappy puns please, they make me pine.

[–]xlevus 10 points11 points ago

Ok. I'll leaf this pun thread alone now.

[–]DognBass 43 points44 points ago

Probably for the best, I think everyone would get sycamore puns

Maybe one of us should try ashking why they did it? Maybe they were just trying to spruce up their lives?

I've never understood why these pun threads are so poplar.

[–]onederboy 7 points8 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

They're larchely popular because they're clever.

[–]littlelion2k 9 points10 points ago

I love pun threads like this. It's so easy fir people to cone-tribute to the joke.

I think this is one of the few instances where having the actual video instead of a shitty gif doesn't improve the understanding of it all that much.

[–]nightmare377 0 points1 point ago

It's the Swedicks, the equivalent of Jackass by some amateur Swedish teenagers.

[–]causticmango 2 points3 points ago

Am I just an English major, or did anyone else think of A Separate Peace?

[–]revbobdobbs 24 points25 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Well, if you fucking uploaded the video with the fucking context instead of just a shitty animated gif, then we could probably fucking work it out.

A school I used to go to had a handyman who did this! He was sitting on a tree branch while cutting it with a chainsaw. The genius sat on the part that was being cut off. He was lucky the chainsaw didn't hurt him when they fell, he broke his leg or something.

My only assumption could be that maybe he thought he was just making a small cut first, and would move to the other side before cutting the rest of the way or something.

They were clearly trying to replicate the Looney Tunes episode where they saw the limb of the tree, and the whole tree falls while the limb stays in place.

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

I was expecting the guy sawing to still be in the air, and the tree to fall down.

[–]lemonidas 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

that's what they were probably expecting too

I have a feeling he just wanted to see what would happen to the two people closer in. Not much thought had to have gone into it. They were probably drunk.

They were trying to prove that just like evolution gravity is just a theory and nothing but a bunch of liberal lies...

Trying to recreate some of those classic looney tunes gags.

That's carpentry for ya. They're making a piece of wooden furniture.

After watching cartoons, they assumed they would cut the branch and the tree would fall.

[–]mjwinger1 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

obviously they're trying to land on the saw that also fell out of the tree.

There's a trampoline or mattress or something underneath them. You can see a bit of a bounce at the end.
