That right there, is Simon Pegg internet-people.

Ah! Big Train!

The video is way funnier. The gif doesn't do it justice at all.

Must have been fun to film with the mannequin.

Have to say I didn't expect the fire.

Nope the GIF was funnier IMO. The poor quality and jerkiness of the GIF makes the dummy less obvious.

[–]mrvimes 4 points5 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Nah.. the obviousness of the dummy was deliberate.

I LOVE the Distracting Boss sketch on that show. Well, I love all the sketches from the first season, but yeah.

Why you no show kid catching fire?! Funniest part by far IMHO.

oh, see now you've gone on fire... still, that was the best one so far....

Haven't seen this 'big train', but I laughed awfully hard at this. Might need to go deeper

Don't laugh people. This Dad is doing some cool daddy shit.

I was in Holland this past fall, and it's amazing how many little kids you see on bikes. No wonder they're such a fit, happy people.

[–]ErikNavkire 2 points3 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Why thank you! The reason bikes are so popular here is because the distances to where you're going are generally too short to justify going by car, but we love efficiency so going on foot would take too long. And you're right, it's also good for one's health! :)

[–]Jeffgoldbum 1 point2 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Yep, No one wants to or could bike around all year where I live.

Winter its -40c -55c with windchill, Summer its 25+ get anywhere even a fit person and you are just soaked in sweat and smell.

New york, 8 million people in manhatten, Half the people on cars half on foot, Madness if you take a bike.

Then you get places like Los Angeles from the suburbs to the center of the city its like a 30-40 minute drive, Thats 2-3 hours by bike, Nobodys going to leave their home 2 hours early to bike to work, and then bike home for two hours after work unless You do not have kids live alone and your time is useless.

I implore anyone who hasn't yet seen big train, to go and watch it now! Also, this .gif misses out the best part!

What's hilarious is that this video is a 100% accurate depiction of teaching your kid to ride a bike.

[–]Ensorceled 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

The gif is brilliant ... it takes the original sketch and makes into very different but equally fun joke:

Dad teaching kid to ride bike. Breaks kid. Hides broken kid in the bushes.

The original video doesn't even have this joke in it all (but the gone on fire part is hilarious).

[–]Canis_lupus 0 points1 point ago

More like teaching is bike to kid

[–]mamamanda 0 points1 point ago

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

That's precisely how my dad taught me to ride a bike. Except I was going down a hill and he didn't throw me into the bushes afterward.

Is he not trying to get his bike to kid?

Shit. My old man took the training wheels off my bike and let me go down a hill. No helmets in those days. Out of all the spills I had on a bike, I don't remember having hit my head. I had plenty of road rash palms though.

Ugh.. Comment complaining about repost.

[–]Harodan 0 points1 point ago

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

Normally, I don't complain about reposts; It's the only way to get the post to people who haven't seen it.

This, however, has been reposted several times. I've seen it 3 times personally, which suggests that it has been reposted far more than I would deem acceptible.

Nonetheless, I am no internet judge. Repost away.

[–]Boko_ 0 points1 point ago

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

I've seen it several times too, but considering it's on the front page.. a lot of people havn't seen it. (Assuming those who have seen it downvote reposts)

[–]Harodan 0 points1 point ago

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

Ahh good point!

I suppose if it's been reposted too often, the downvoting will take care of itself.
