Seriously, how in the hell did she think that this would be a good idea?

[–][deleted] 238 points239 points ago

it is like she had no plan to get her feet back under her, who does that? wtf?

[–]PoopyMcfartface 103 points104 points ago

Somebody else already said it, but I assumed she thought the people holding her hands, would be able to support her weight until she got her feet back under her. It clearly didn't work out like that though; if she was smaller, and her friends were bigger, it might have.

[–]In_The_Negatives 48 points49 points ago

Except noone can support her weight.

[–]Gawdzillers 38 points39 points ago

Oh I get it, because she's fat

[–]akawall2 1 point2 points ago

Oh no you didn't say that!

[–]thetoneranger -3 points-2 points ago

[–]Illadelphian 16 points17 points ago

Who is noone?

[–]cafrunista 40 points41 points ago

Peter Noone. So to reiterate, Peter Noone can support her weight.

[–]JackAceHole 11 points12 points ago

Even if she were untethered, there's no way she would have landed that jump.

Houdini in 3...2...1...oh crap!

[–]ChubbyGirlsPmMe 11 points12 points ago

This is why I should always be consulted first.

[–]RootinTootinShooter 40 points41 points ago

She's probably never had to make an athletic move and thought that it looked simple on tv figuring everyone lands on their feet, god wouldn't allow otherwise!

[–]sonicbloom 17 points18 points ago

Too big to fail

[–]alphasandwich 5 points6 points ago

but big enough to flail

[–][deleted] ago

[–]ultragnomecunt -1 points0 points ago

BIG ENOUGH

[–]dieselnut 2 points3 points ago

When she was a child, her parents let her get away with shit like that, so it stuck.

[–]EveryDayIsCharlieDay 8 points9 points ago

Older people tend not to jump around much later on in life. They forget how gravity feels.

[–]fora-mejora 2 points3 points ago

I think she just got nervous.

[–]MrGiggleParty 2 points3 points ago

I think her weight got nervous.

[–]damuumad 0 points1 point ago

in her defense, i think she thought the people holding her hand would hold her up.she just didn't take into account her weight and the people underestimating her stupidity.

[–]Winkelkater 0 points1 point ago

people are just dumb. that's why.

[–]romanpppp 377 points378 points ago

This is what happens when you try to be quirky and different.

[–][deleted] 42 points43 points ago

I think we should all take a moment and realize that she just attempted to high jump over a string 1 foot off of the ground..

[–]rattlemebones 27 points28 points ago

To be fair, she almost made it...

[–]MgIaCyAcH 0 points1 point ago

she has quite the go getter attitude. By god, I shall show that foot whose boss!

[–][deleted] ago

[deleted]

[–]panky117 18 points19 points ago

she put her try-hard pants on today.

[–]mypantsareonmyhead 0 points1 point ago

She should have put them on her head. It's a sure-fire win. Trust me. I'm a professional.

[–]tommadness 0 points1 point ago

They give her a +10 to Fail Hardery

[–]Candies1205 24 points25 points ago

We called that type of girl in high school "Pam."

There you go, being all super over achiever and falling flat on your ass, Pam. She married a dude 20 years older than her who has a boatload of money. Yet again, over achieving. (She's a nice lady, but she makes me misunderstand the concept of time because of all the shit she's into and has time for. Fuckin' Pams.)

[–]cerebron 5 points6 points ago

I always thought Pam was pretty badass.

I mean, sure, she was a bit of a lovable loser at first, but she turned out ok.

[–]Datastream 14 points15 points ago

Jim wasn't that rich. And he's not 20 years older.

[–]JackAceHole 3 points4 points ago

Betty Bloop.

[–]IndianaJohnson 3 points4 points ago

The guy in the back right and I had the same reaction

[–]hornless_unicorn 2 points3 points ago

You misspelled acceleration due to gravity.

[–]thelbane 14 points15 points ago

Reminds me of walking with my six year old son. He's compelled to perform random acrobatics as though my arm is his personal mobile trapeze.

[–]romanpppp 13 points14 points ago

You must be like, "Dammit Nathaniel! My arm is not your personal mobile trapeze!"

[–]bolm 2 points3 points ago

Fucking Nathaniel, man..

[–]Psuffix 1 point2 points ago

He still remembers when it was!

[–]saladinzero -1 points0 points ago

By quirky and different, you do of course mean being born with a mental disability?

[–]men_with_hats 142 points143 points ago

Is this what the high jump at the special olympics is like?

[–]Careblair3 37 points38 points ago

It's how they train for it

[–]fightingdove 11 points12 points ago

Nope. The real thing is funnier.

[–]matari 4 points5 points ago

and i would give her gold for that

[–]Confucius_says 0 points1 point ago

its like she wasnt even running. she was walking while swinging her arms and feet like she was running.

[–]Esteam 0 points1 point ago

That is so sad

[–]dan92 -2 points-1 points ago

I imagine Special Olympic athletes in wheelchairs do better than this.

[–]Zarathustra2003 37 points38 points ago

This gif reminds me of my favorite prank. It works best if you are in dark, low light area when people are following you in the same direction. Act like you you are stepping over a wire or cable. Then "hold" the imaginary wire for your friends to walk over also. Continue walking but look back and watch the other group blindly paw around for the imaginary wire. It's so hilarious!

[–]BertrandLoganberry 15 points16 points ago

If I saw someone do that and knew there wasn't a wire I'd be tempted to trip over it anyway.

[–]uncle_jessie 29 points30 points ago

The reaction of the dude who's just coming into the frame at the right at the very end is....priceless!

[–]emohipster 32 points33 points ago

NO! I AM A GROWN ASS WOMAN. I WILL SLAM MYSELF INTO THE GROUND!

[–]bene617 8 points9 points ago

is she retarded?

[–]hiphophippopotamus 5 points6 points ago

I'm pretty sure the gif did a good job of answering that question before it was even asked..

[–]oth3r 2 points3 points ago

I was wondering this too.

[–]22_hoghoghog_22 59 points60 points ago

Thank you OP. That's the hardest I have laughed on Reddit in weeks.

[–]SgtSloth 11 points12 points ago

This is quite possibly the hardest I have ever laughed on reddit. It just hit me at the right time or something. I think I might have woken up my neighbors even.

[–]IH8DwnvoteComplainrs 12 points13 points ago

What is it about this gif? I can't remember the last time I laughed so hard. Perfect title helped.

[–]rolfo87 10 points11 points ago

seriously made me tear up.

[–]jbur 3 points4 points ago

Same here, I almost vomited I was laughing so hard. I'm afraid to watch it again.....oh well it's worth it.

[–]VA1N 1 point2 points ago

My boss is now staring me down because I'm cracking up at my desk.

[–]wisamc 5 points6 points ago

Me too! I don't why I laughed so hard. I think the title also added to the magic.

[–][deleted] 4 points5 points ago

For real. I've been laughing for a solid 5 minutes.

[–]The_Sleepy_Fapper 0 points1 point ago

I seriously laughed until I started to gag. This just wrecked me!

[–]Ju_In_Shoes 6 points7 points ago

Now that's a well executed Hulk Hogan leg drop.

[–][deleted] 3 points4 points ago

I was already laughing really hard, but I just lost it at this comment.

[–]99redpuppets 13 points14 points ago

I'm more interested in why people are stepping over a rope while holding hands. What video is this from? Why were they doing that?

[–]ineverupvote 15 points16 points ago

Its most likely a school for the mentally disabled, having worked at one it does look like students and carers.

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points ago

Uh oh...

[–]slashsigh 4 points5 points ago

I was wondering the same thing. Is it some kind of reverse limbo game? The string doesn't appear to be intended to block off the area, plus why do they have spectators?

[–]cumfarts 5 points6 points ago

Probably some dumb ass team building exercise. Like the trust-fall.

[–]comrade_leviathan 1 point2 points ago

I actually was thinking it's some kind of physical therapy for people who've had brain injuries, but that wouldn't really explain why kids are holding the ropes.

[–]IamThorr 8 points9 points ago

Gravity > Corpulence

[–]zsakuL 21 points22 points ago

Ready, 1, 2, potato!

[–]wtfsystem 38 points39 points ago

O fat people...

[–][deleted] ago

[deleted]

[–]Kibblebitz 7 points8 points ago

She's not obese or anything, but she's far chunkier than someone that should be trying to battle gravity with the arm support of her non-weight lifting friends.

When determining if someone is fat or not, I like to picture a human skeleton inside the person, then decide if they have too much meat from there. If she were a clay sculpture, I would rank her as "I finished, but I still have a forth of the clay I started with left. Might as well use it all".

[–]RebelTactics 3 points4 points ago

Good god man, how in denial are you about being fat?

Edit: Oh, for the record he stated - "She's not fat".

[–]Jackal_6 18 points19 points ago

She is in [every country except for america].

[–]fun_young_man 6 points7 points ago

Classic Betty.

[–]mbelf 2 points3 points ago

She didn't even attempt to land on her feet.

[–]oth3r 2 points3 points ago

There are a few very angry SRSers downvoting all the comments in here.

[–]missalissa15 6 points7 points ago

BETTY, IT'S NOT THE DAMN OLYMPICS.

[–][deleted] 6 points7 points ago

It's 2012 and some people still don't understand the concept of gravity. This isn't good.

[–]Iroquois-Pliskin 5 points6 points ago

I thought at first the guy guiding her tried jerking her over the rope, upon another viewing I realized Betty is just poor at accessing situations.

[–]ChozoLore 4 points5 points ago

No matter how bad I try....I can't stop watching this.

[–]shroomprinter 2 points3 points ago

Betty, just step over the rope.

There, I can go to sleep now.

[–]kvictorio 1 point2 points ago

GET READY FOR THE PEOPLE'S ELBOW!

[–]TheDipCup 1 point2 points ago

I just keep imagining circus music

[–]dershodan 1 point2 points ago

Oh god! Thats so much more funny than it should be =)

[–]Xedma 1 point2 points ago

How many floor tiles did she break?

[–]Docofolio 1 point2 points ago

I've had a really Shitty day and this is the first the to make me laugh in like 30 hours. Thank you OP!

[–]Punkgoblin 1 point2 points ago

"I used to high jump, finally one last chance to to show off my epic skillz..."

You can see the point where she changes her mind from stepping over it to I'M GOING FOR IT!

[–]luthin2000 1 point2 points ago

Notice the slew of downvoted comments? Its like betty saw this post and is on a downvoted rampage

[–]sarwiththehair 3 points4 points ago

DAMMIT, BETTY, THIS IS WHY WE CAN'T HAVE NICE THINGS.

[–]Jessicaquinn 5 points6 points ago

I laughed until I cried.

[–]Mitz510 1 point2 points ago

Is there a YouTube link for this?

[–]Pipelayer 1 point2 points ago

And the guy on the right at the very end just turns away, laughing hysterically.

[–]ogm721 1 point2 points ago

Goddamn that guy holding her hand is strong.

[–]HolyShitItsKhasi 1 point2 points ago

...idiots...idiots everywhere.

[–]DerpinNinjaa 1 point2 points ago

Got to give her credit for trying though

[–]DerpinNinjaa 1 point2 points ago

I love the way the guys steps over the rope I could watch him all day

[–]sergev 1 point2 points ago

I can't stop laughing from this. Just the way her body shifts in mid air is amazing.

[–]robinedwards466 1 point2 points ago

I'm more interested in why people are stepping over a rope while holding hands. What video is this from? Why were they doing that?

[–]MendorianQueen 1 point2 points ago

She just finished watching WWE and wanted to test her skills on the rope

[–]yamidudes 1 point2 points ago

Not sure if the lady holding her hand screwed her up or she was bound to fail anyway.

[–]tr0picalst0rm 1 point2 points ago

It's funny because she's fat.

[–]TheMediumPanda 1 point2 points ago

Is it like a support group for mentally disabled people or something? If not, how in the whole wide fuck did she think she'd get away with the attempt at defying gravity?

[–]Deety 1 point2 points ago

[–]paki123 1 point2 points ago

For some reason I got really mad at that woman for being so stupid.

[–]Dan_Gleasac 3 points4 points ago
