He still knocked if off his head.

[–]teags[S] 338 points339 points ago

Also, he doesn't have to split the prize money anymore

[–]questionablestandard 86 points87 points ago

And the apple will still be edible!

[–]VinceAtLSU 71 points72 points ago

Reddit always sees the positives in even the crappiest situations.

[–]lolredditor 22 points23 points ago

Only problem is, they can only do the trick once.

[–]Ontopourmama 6 points7 points ago

Not true! The archer can do this as many times as he can convince people to be his assistant.

[–]lolredditor 4 points5 points ago

I said "they"

He'll need to form a new duo, which would only be able to do it once and he'd then need another. :P

[–]verveinloveland 1 point2 points ago

weekend at Bernie's

[–]CapnScumbone 40 points41 points ago

bullshit. no way the apple wasn't bruised.

[–]Jandklo -1 points0 points ago

It's a can, not an apple.

[–]skooma714 0 points1 point ago

Look on the bright side kid. You get to keep all the money.

[–]Gulps_Wieners 21 points22 points ago

does that mean he wins?

[–]laur7620 14 points15 points ago

of course, its russia.

[–]mdmonger 2 points3 points ago

But he left him with a splitting headache.

[–]Zeus25 129 points130 points ago

I like to think that was an elaborate assassination plot.

[–]ThirdDegreeRape 42 points43 points ago

I think it would have been awesome if it was an assassination plot to shoot him in the face with an arrow, but then he missed and hit the apple instead.

Everyone would think he made the shot, and only he would know that he meant to kill him.

[–]PatronofSnark 20 points21 points ago

No assassination for jakucha.

[–]RuckRuck 47 points48 points ago

He wakes up.. "Today's the day I shoot him in the face with an arrow." Rubs his hands together and grins

[–]AssCommander 13 points14 points ago

Yevgeny will make mirminsky crime family once more, then we keel jyon.

"Francine, I haven't been totally honest with you..."

[–]Ihaveanusername -1 points0 points ago

Nothing new from Mother Russia.

[–]AggressiveCarpet 3 points4 points ago

Bulgaria. But being presumptuous is more fun than being accurate. =D

[–]Ihaveanusername 3 points4 points ago

Close enough? :D

[–]carefreee 0 points1 point ago

I like that! I think I'm going to be more presumptuous in the future. Thanks, you've given me new reason to live. =D

[–]wirtha 152 points153 points ago

snopes says it's probably a viral campaign.

[–]Lizardbreath 27 points28 points ago

Thank you :)

[–]intmax64 38 points39 points ago

It's 100% fake because the label in the video says "Удивительный братьями", which is very incorrect and looks like something Google translator would produce.

[–]tempuro 5 points6 points ago

Probably from the same people who translated the directions on the Chinese pump I just bought.

[–]dereksmalls1 7 points8 points ago

What label?

[–]intmax64 1 point2 points ago

it's in the video, which is linked in the snopes article: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rv6qxC4IToU

[–]nutstomper 1 point2 points ago

So wtf does that mean?

[–]dogboyboy 1 point2 points ago

It's fake.

[–]graphicsaccelerated 0 points1 point ago

of course, that is exactly what i say when i see "Удивительный братьями" must be google translate!

[–]angrylawyer 4 points5 points ago

It is, in the full video you can see differences on the judge's table between the staged video and the clips inserted from the real show. It's been a while since I've analyzed the pixels but it was things like cups moving around and paper not being lined up properly between edits/cuts.

[–]Dr_Sandvich 4 points5 points ago

Anyone know the music in the background?

[–]Unintentional_Boner 143 points144 points ago

Close Enough

[–]Sn1pex 27 points28 points ago

Your name is quite accurate.

[–]herpaderpterp 4 points5 points ago

I am not a clever man

[–]TeddyBane 18 points19 points ago

Holy shit, if you come up with a pun you better make sure it's a golden one. Otherwise, feel the wrath.

[–]DerpusOfValues 5 points6 points ago

You made me re-read it. My initial mental pronuciation was Bau-ner and it didn't make sense.

Fuck the hivemind, that was a good pun!

[–]TeddyBane 1 point2 points ago

We stand alone. But at least you derp your values close to your heart.

[–]Uber_Weiss 7 points8 points ago

Atleast you didn't delete your comment. I'll give you that.

[–]sexydeathtime 8 points9 points ago

yeah he did

[–]riseofthepickles 1 point2 points ago

Dont worry neo I got this: HEY GUYS I GO ON FUNNYJUNK AND REDDIT

[–]druidfitz83 23 points24 points ago

This has to be a "drink responsibly" advertisement for the energy drink he puts on his head.

[–]Laez 42 points43 points ago

I think that's a Russian political debate show.

[–]rspeed 5 points6 points ago

The guy on the left represents Putin.

[–]fattsoo 18 points19 points ago

this guy has real talent...everyone was expecting one thing and he went above and beyond that expectation...bravo!

[–]parmaher 17 points18 points ago

Well, he really went below and slightly to the right of said expectation...

[–]itsjustallgone 3 points4 points ago

Back...and to the left...

[–]tehzephyrsong 3 points4 points ago

No, I'd say he actually aimed a bit low.

[–]GentlemanIntheSuit 28 points29 points ago

Source: http://youtu.be/nZu3tfuFXSA

Almost certainly fake I would guess- I do have to wonder what types of mistakes along these lines do actually happen on these shows though.

[–]bonbunpunch 12 points13 points ago

Their warm up routine is just so beautiful

[–]Sigma-Sigma 1 point2 points ago

Russian here. For some reason, the title at the beginning has incredibly bad grammar mistakes - kind of like if you just used Google Translator.

I am now questioning if this was done in Russia (or Ukraine), however the general appearance of things kind of looks Russian.

[–]Supersable 0 points1 point ago

I clicked the link and disliked. Let's go guys score is now 21-204

[–]Lucifers_Friend 22 points23 points ago

I can tell by the pixels.

[–]DarkRider23 11 points12 points ago

It's fake. It's a viral campaign for that red drink that he was supposed to shoot with the arrow.

[–]reddaddiction 4 points5 points ago

i much prefer commercials like this as opposed to pretty women dancing in slow motion in a field for valtrex

[–]tempuro 1 point2 points ago

Seriously, I went and told my doctor that I had herpes just to get some and it didn't make me feel like slo-mo dancing in a field at all. Plus when I came back in, I had a tick on my nutsack.

[–]lolpatrol 17 points18 points ago

It's a viral ad for Cult Cola. It's a danish beverage - it wouldn't show up in a russian talent show. Calm down everyone.

[–]Feedmenegativekarma 1 point2 points ago

Best drink ever made, if you ask me.

[–]War_Fairy 17 points18 points ago

....Im a bad person...I chuckled when I saw this...

[–]Gearshock 4 points5 points ago

And that's why you are a War Fairy. Violence makes you chuckle/giggle.

[–]the_talking_dead 11 points12 points ago

There is always this one where the magician on accident kills his assistant/wife by chainsaw.

NSFL - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Iw69ZRp77k8

Probably a 50% chance it is fake.. but still really disturbing if you think about it too long.

[–]Sha3shabon 5 points6 points ago

It's part of "1,000 ways to die".

[–]tdogg650 6 points7 points ago

You mean the clips on that show aren't real?

[–]do_not_follow 6 points7 points ago

Hell, many of the stories cannot be verified.

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points ago

No news organizations report on this incident. I find this to be fake. Good thing, too. That's horrible.

[–]BerryGuns 1 point2 points ago

This is a reconstruction.

[–]supersnuffy 1 point2 points ago

There's a Penn and Teller sketch similar to this.

[–]Kevinatorikablah 0 points1 point ago

Tried to watch, luckily hit the x right as the chainsaw was coming down. I have learned not to follow every link to it's terrible end after I saw a lady with a vagina face...

[–]kilonad 0 points1 point ago

anything on snopes about this?

[–]tempuro 0 points1 point ago

I'm pretty sure that would fuck up a nice chain saw too.

[–]markevens 0 points1 point ago

God damn

[–]jobotslash 2 points3 points ago

I think snopes has the right idea...

[–]colin132 2 points3 points ago

Its thought to be a viral video advertising an energy drink

http://www.snopes.com/photos/accident/russiantalent.asp

[–]984649563595876 2 points3 points ago

"Talent"

Yep.

[–]ghos7bear 2 points3 points ago

This is not Russian

[–]wordswordsswordsss 2 points3 points ago

context?

[–]mattfbasler 2 points3 points ago

Whether or not you believe the snopes articles, it's pretty hard to believe they'd go through and edit this footage that they never intended to show anyone.

[–]mmansoor 2 points3 points ago

Its a a viral video ... Link to Snopes

[–]xxBigBobxx 7 points8 points ago

I..thats...uh... ಠ_ಠ

[–]Mslick1 1 point2 points ago

I wonder if he's dead or not, I can't decide.

[–]spikeboyslim 1 point2 points ago

My favourite one is the self levitation Americas got talent. Literally the biggest fucking life fail ever.

[–]dizzi800 0 points1 point ago

You DO realize that that is part of a comedy act right?

[–]King_Reddit_Okarma 1 point2 points ago

Are you shitting me! Is this real?

[–]sorrik 1 point2 points ago

I used to be an adventurer like you, then .....

[–]imamazing541 1 point2 points ago

Thats just how shit works in Russia.

[–]vlkthe 1 point2 points ago

I think he got the point.

[–]PelikanPatrol 1 point2 points ago

That's Ukraine, comrade

[–]hoobityha 0 points1 point ago

This is when they learn that his real talent is tap-dancing.

Viral campaign according to Snopes, but for the kids out there, please don't fire a barebow recurve toward someone else's face.

[–]altowle33 0 points1 point ago

I think that's what he meant to do.

[–]bevans052 0 points1 point ago

[–]ProgNerd 0 points1 point ago

Another post about it being fake with a link to Snopes because I haven't seen enough of those yet.
