What the fuck was he thinking?

punkfunkymonkey · 10 months

Part of a viral advertising campaign video involving 'the Viral Factory'.

One in a series of 3 videos related to juggling/manipulation the other two videos being a bbq where the cook juggles shish kebabs and skewers a pigeon and finally one where a pen spinner has an accident with a lamp

tl;dr fake

Think I saw this somewhere before and it was proven fake. I hope so.

As someone who works at a bowling alley and does bowling ball juggling for kids parties this terrifies me.

Anyone else notice that kid is OVER THE LINE!!!!!!!!?

This isn't 'Nam, Smokey, there are rules.

EDIT: Looks like the video was removed. Here's the same video posted a dozen other times.

Why is this marked NSFW? Am I missing something?

Don't you love it when you expect to see boobs, and you watch a child die a painful death?

tripp45 · 10 months

I'm going to be very disappointing if I really just watched a little kid get crushed to death by a bowling ball.

Zenie · 10 months

What the fuck was the kid thinking walking into that!

[deleted] · 10 months

I think he was thinking, "OW, A BOWLING BALL HIT ME IN THE HEAD!"

paulwhiskie · 10 months

Poor kid got a gutter ball...

m4rkies · 10 months

POW - right in the kisser!

pauldy · 10 months

Every time this pops up it gets cut shorter and shorter to be more dramatic in the full version they kid gets up at the end.

nthensome · 10 months

Did I just watch someone die?

terrorking91 · 10 months

Damn... she got a gutter ball.

MrJubalEarly · 10 months

This kills the child.

This kills the kid.

Salchicha · 10 months

I've seen mutilated penises and people covered in shit, but I found this more shock inducing than any of that.

GenericUsername12 · 10 months

As a juggler (yeah, come on, downvote) I can tell this is clearly fake. The last throw is intentional.

andrethecat · 10 months

Babysitting like a boss.

scoobysam · 10 months

The fact there is no more strain in his arm when the ball is thrown yet it goes twice as high as the others makes me lean towards the fake side of the spectrum.

GldRush98 · 10 months

Hmmm... looks fake, better check comments

Yup, fake

How do people fall for this shit?

y_u_no_knock · 10 months

For the first time on any website, you have made me WTF and cringe OP. showed people at work and the same thing ensued. Thank you OP...ugh...

Tomthetrain · 10 months

He was probably using the lightest balls which are what? 8lbs? If so it probably wasn't as bad as it looks.. Jaw still dropped for a few minutes though...

"Time to kill a toddler."

[deleted] · 10 months

Jesus..I really hope this wasn't real.

Heroshade · 10 months

Everytime an angel gets his wings, a bowler smashes a toddler in the head with a fifteen pound ball.

groberts1980 · 10 months

Why was this marked NSFW?

tinterwebz · 10 months

How is this NSFW?

Dejvans · 10 months

I actually said "Holy shitballs" out loud. Which is a weird expression by itself. What's even more weird is that I'm swedish.

Brain

Y U NO THINK IN SWEDISH!?

Onslow_Skils · 10 months

I giggled all the way through that.

dannyboy000 · 10 months

I bet James Harrison would LOVE this

EnysAtSea · 10 months

This is really old. And I knew it was fake from back then too.

Repost_Bird · 10 months

"I'll totally gonna impress that chick. There's no way this can go wrong."

That's my guess.

the_opinion · 10 months

NSFW??

A_Slow_Descent · 10 months

I am fairly certain that if this is real, that kid is dead.

It's very rare that I actually gasp but damn, wtf.

I honestly hope that's staged / fake.

Koss424 · 10 months

That was.... unexpected.

ownerofreddit · 10 months

Oh come on, it's probably just a 10-12lb ball. He'll be fine

arisefairmoon · 10 months

Here's the thing. If I was bowling with my children and saw an asshat doing that in the next lane over, I would absolutely not let my child go up to bowl. We'd wait until he was done. I mean, that kid is young enough that they probably needed prompting to actually pick up the bowling ball and go throw it.

shzadh · 10 months

Did anyone else hear a sound when it hit the kid?

Dubbys · 10 months

How about don't go near the guy juggling bowling balls?

dmsuperman · 10 months

Probably "ooooooooooh look at the lights and the pins"

Oh you mean the juggler?

Probably "I hope some stupid kid doesn't come stumbling out in my way"

GreatestWhiteShark · 10 months

He was probably thinking "There's no way I'm gonna hit that kid."

Sir_Lilja · 10 months

The thing that, for me, makes it an obvious fake, is that the camera man hardly even flinch. Had it been real I think the clip would just be a blur after the kid got hit.

I know it is an advertising campaign, but I'm just thinking out loud here :)

boobatron · 10 months

he was probably thinking about how awesome he was for juggling bowling balls.

Scup · 10 months

Masturbating_Jedi · 10 months

If it was real the kid most likely wouldn't survive that.

Gillybilly · 10 months

Fake or not, I really didn't need to have my stomach drop out my ass this evening. Not suitable for life.

BettyMcBoob · 10 months

Based on what generally happens to children with head injuries, in 10 years this kid is a serial killer.

I don't know but you never go up to your lane while a douchebag is juggling bowling balls.

mcape6 · 10 months

Haters gonna "SMASH" .....

[deleted] · 10 months

Luckyfleshwound · 10 months

njm1314 · 10 months

Well to be fair it is poor bowling etiquette to bowl while someone is in the adjacent lane.

screamingprofanities · 10 months

Thinking "I gotta make this look like an accident."

WTF
