I love how proud he looks after he dodges the first shoe.

[–]abdomino 35 points36 points ago

Hell, I would be too. That looked like a loafer. Those fuckers hurt.

[–]sifumokung 17 points18 points ago

Married, eh? I don't leave my shoes in the bedroom anymore either.

[–]abdomino 9 points10 points ago

Actually I'm a snarky teen with a little sister and a midget-mother that's a world-record holder in weight lifting.

[–]sifumokung 5 points6 points ago

I'm sure they've got sole.

[–]abdomino 2 points3 points ago

I get the pun, but only my mom's the weight-lifter.

[–]sifumokung 1 point2 points ago

It was just a joke. I thought you'd get a kick out of it.

[–]mrjderp 0 points1 point ago

I guess you just can't stand in his shoes.

[–]sifumokung 0 points1 point ago

I'll try harder to toe the line.

[–]mrjderp 0 points1 point ago

You could always take him out to a nice restaurant and foot the bill.

[–]abdomino 4 points5 points ago

I'm being downvoted. It's hilarious that the truth is that not a single part of my previous statement was a lie. The "midget" part is a technicality, since the official height starts at 4'10'' and my mom's 4'10''.

[–]Omnidox 1 point2 points ago

I demand an IAMA.

[–]abdomino 0 points1 point ago

I'll ask, but I don't even know what subreddit that would go into. I don't think it's major enough for the actual AMA.

[–]EggieNogginhew 0 points1 point ago

Major or no, it is definitively fucking awesome enough, friend.

[–]abdomino 0 points1 point ago

2 month old comment gets a reply? You on an archive binge or something?

[–]antipode 1 point2 points ago

I kind of took it as sort of shock/amusement that it actually happened.

[–]TheoreticalFunk 0 points1 point ago

I've always thought that he looked a bit amused. As you would be if a small chipmunk threw an acorn at you.

[–]skilips -1 points0 points ago

i feel like he was just happy it was shoes and not bullets.

[–]Turdmeist 0 points1 point ago

lol. classic

[–]izwald 4 points5 points ago

I wonder where that guy is now.

[–]Physo[S] 8 points9 points ago

[–]tallglassofdumb 4 points5 points ago

Who throws a shoe? Honestly

[–]soulonfire 0 points1 point ago

My Honors English teacher in 9th grade did. Smacked the kid next to me right in the face.

[–]laserfish 1 point2 points ago

"Heh, almost got me. Is this some kind of crazy Ah-rackee baseball game?"

[–]Bortjort 3 points4 points ago

He was pretty ninja there. Only time I was impressed.

[–]VBxGatsby 5 points6 points ago

Apparently in Iran(?) throwing your shoe at somebody is an unbelievable sign of disrespect.

[–]Physo[S] 15 points16 points ago

Iraq :) And I think it would be pretty disrespectful in any country :P

[–]VBxGatsby 2 points3 points ago

Well, in America throwing anything at anyone is pretty much an equal sign of disrespect, except for maybe...I don't know...a pie?

In Iraq*, a shoe has some sort of special context.

[–]Moath 5 points6 points ago

There is no special context in Iraq, in arab countries it's extremely rude to point the bottom of your shoes towards someone, so throwing a show is like extreme disgust, however I'm pretty sure throwing a show is obviously a sign of disgust no matter where you are.

[–]TheoreticalFunk 0 points1 point ago

Shoe. It's like you're doing the opposite of Ed Sullivan.

[–]YouPickMyName 1 point2 points ago*

It's because we all wear sandals.

Go to 30 minutes in

[–]geist_zero 1 point2 points ago

I forgot why I clicked on this but Russel Peters is funny

btw, the joke is at 30 minutes...

[–]YouPickMyName 0 points1 point ago

Ah, ty

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points ago

Breivik just got shoed in court yesterday. People applauded.

[–]CougarForLife 1 point2 points ago

Could you imagine someone wanting to do this to Obama?

[–]Caticorn 1 point2 points ago

Stop by /r/conservative. He's literally Hitler there.

[–]CougarForLife 0 points1 point ago

haha now you've taken it too far, i would never subject myself to that.

[–]abdomino 0 points1 point ago

Just checked it out. The Will Snith one was hilarious.

[–]Vaginuh 1 point2 points ago

Smiling the whole time. XD

[–]Shygrl16 1 point2 points ago

Even I can't dodge that

[–]Tigerantilles 1 point2 points ago

I would take both of my shoes off first, because you could get the second throw off quicker.

A childhood dodging dad's backhand gave him those reflexes.
