TIL: silly string is flammable.

[–]HippiesAllAround 12 points13 points ago*

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Was flammable. They changed it after this sort of thing happened a number of times.

Edit: Maybe I'm wrong about that http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silly_String#Safety

I'm pretty sure the kid behind Dad is not using silly string, it looks like he's using that halloween colored HAIR SPRAY.

[–]Dealthagar 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Yeah went to the Youtube original, and the poster the the in flames guy brother. Apparently the nephew behind is spraying glitter hairspray.

At that age i knew hairspray and flame didnt mix. You'd think one of the grownups would have gone "Uhhhh....that might not be a good idea"

[–]seiya42 59 points60 points ago

The kid standing behind the guy, what the hell happened to his eyes right before he shot the silly string.

[–]measuredinyears 31 points32 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

God I was really confused for a second, but yeah if you look closely he got hit right above the eyes in the first spray.

Actually it looks like he got silly string on his glasses.

[–]monk_ey 4 points5 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

This comes up every time I see this. Silly string comes from the right side and hits him, presumably above the eyes.

[–][deleted] 2 points3 points ago

he went super saiyan

[–]freegary 2 points3 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Yeah I always wondered how a super saiyan mode would look like. I think having the hair completely covered in fire would be acceptable enough.

[–]alwaystakeabanana 2 points3 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

To me it looks like the kid is wearing glasses from the beginning, then gets hit with silly string which covers his glasses.

[–]westcor 5 points6 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

ya WTF was that, is he some sort of Alien? Or does he have a bad ass pair of glasses that magically appear; either way

[–]sigma_noise 18 points19 points ago

He got hit with friendly fire from the kid on the right.

I don't know, but isn't that Richard Pryors grandson?

[–]skyo -1 points0 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

The kid gets hit in the face with some silly string by the person on the right, right before the person on the right aims at the dad. I think the gif skips a couple frames, making it look more spontaneous. You can more easily see it happen in the original video

[–]boyfromthecountyhell 1 point2 points ago

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

I like how the kid that was behind him is laughing his ass off while the whole family is tending to his first degree burns and crying... its chaos and he's laughing...

"Flammable, inflammable and nonflammable. Why are there three? Don't you think that two ought to serve the purpose? I mean, either the thing flams or it doesn't!"

[–]gregoe86 1 point2 points ago

Is flams a typo? If so, it's a freaking awesome one. I'm incorporating it into my speech now.

[–]VoiceOfInternet_haha 2 points3 points ago

George would have wanted it that way. Incorporate it.

[–]MRRoberts 5 points6 points ago

From the Latin inflammare, meaning to inflame, ignite, or set alight.

I'll tell you what's insensitive, you american bastard, the fact that you support a futile 'war on terror' when your country is responsible for 100,000 civilians in the Middle East.

It looks like the kid in back is wearing glasses, but the silly string comes out and lands on them first before aiming at the man in front.

The kid in the back just keeps laughing! Also, I suspect it was the "glitter hair spray". Not the silly string.

You cut out the best part! In the original gift, the black kid is busting up laughing while the dad is trying to put the fire out.
