WHAT HAPPENED BEHIND THAT PALM TREE???

[–]MrCatbr3ad 17 points18 points ago

He started leaning back, didn't realize how top heavy his stomach makes him and then couldn't counter until he faced into the car.

[–]ZeroCool2u 3 points4 points ago

Huh, I was kinda thinking it had to do with pixies or something...

[–]MrCatbr3ad 2 points3 points ago

If only, this looks like your run of the mill 'I don't understand how topheavy I am' situation.

[–]ZeroCool2u 1 point2 points ago

sigh And I thought I finally had proof.

[–]HighInAK -1 points0 points ago

didn't realize how top heavy

False.

He quickly realized and commenced an emergency 1800 maneuver. Sadly his little feet couldn't get under his massive body fast enough.

[–]sparx483 5 points6 points ago

The weight of his shadow clearly dragged him down.

[–]InstantPrinceWhippit 42 points43 points ago

This is one of the funniest gifs I've ever seen. I laughed so hard I cried, and now I can't stop watching. Thanks!

[–]WorldsTallestMan 2 points3 points ago

really?

[–]InstantPrinceWhippit -1 points0 points ago

Really, for whatever reason. I'm gonna roll with it.

[–]WorldsTallestMan 1 point2 points ago

Cry away, my friend.

[–]jeremy_280 1 point2 points ago

I thought he recovered for a second, but instead he accelerated directly into the back of the car. lol

[–]InstantPrinceWhippit 1 point2 points ago

I love that he goes from fearful but deliberate stepping to uncontrollable staggering buffoonery in the split second he's behind that plant.

[–]jeremy_280 1 point2 points ago

It's insane, I have no idea how he managed to hurt himself while going 0.2 mph on a skateboard...He could break his leg on a mini-trampoline.

[–]ThirdDegree 13 points14 points ago

Wait, he really couldn't steady himself after what, 7 steps? So being fat is like being incredibly wasted all the time? Damn.

[–]BoringSurprise 11 points12 points ago

to be fair, he may also have been wasted.

[–]rchase 1 point2 points ago

Definitely wasted. That feeling when the earth is suddenly at the wrong angle from you.

[–]SuiXi3D 1 point2 points ago

As a fat guy: Yeah, pretty much. Diabetic comas are a bitch.

[–]RuafaolGaiscioch 0 points1 point ago

As a diabetic, non fat guy...yes, they are.

[–]jeremy_280 0 points1 point ago

As a big guy myself, who plays football (full contact no pads) with smaller quicker people...Not always, however if someone jumps and attaches himself to your front this will most definitely happen to you. lol

[–]BadAdvice101 5 points6 points ago

Several months ago, I weighed 327 (I now weigh 302!), and I was leaving my house in the early morning, still half-asleep. Walking down my cement stairs, the street is only four/five feet away from the bottom step, and my car was parked on the street.

Wwweeeellll... I tripped on the last step and stumbled forward trying to catch my balance. And JUST like the guy in the GIF, I ended up slamming into the passenger side of the hood, putting both of my arms foward, leaving a HUGE dent and almost snapping myself in half backwards as I failed to stabilize. I literally could not move on the ground for a full eight seconds. It scared the shit out of me, and it has currently led to a rapid loss of weight. I feel great and now nothing can stop me.

[–]mjxii 1 point2 points ago

So says bad advice 101

[–]pierpont123 2 points3 points ago

i can't seem to pinpoint that guys chin.

[–]spankymanny 1 point2 points ago

the first one?

[–]ChicagoPhotoShop 2 points3 points ago

this has me in tears. the good tears.

[–]genjutsu01 2 points3 points ago

This is true, even when you post insightful stuff or stuff that resembles almost exactly the type of content thats on the front page it gets downvoted to oblivion. The only way to really get votes is timing, if you are lucky enough to get about 10 upvotes, then people will go "People like this, and I want to be with the majority, so I will like it to". The exact same thing happens when people downvote it, getting Karma all comes down to luck, timing and social coercions.

[–]BallsackTBaghard 2 points3 points ago

This is also the exact same feel of an old redditor.

Fat and clumsy.

[–]L0CHNESSM0BSTER 0 points1 point ago

Presses F1, then selects save and exit

Ah! There we go, that should work, well, until the next boot...

[–]badwithinternet 3 points4 points ago

good thing that car was there to break his fall.

[–]jdrazz 1 point2 points ago

I always feel a little bad, but I can watch gifs of fat people falling all the live long day.

[–]Liamh101 1 point2 points ago

Gabe can't use a Skateboard it seems.

[–]Meganheartt 0 points1 point ago

Hey you and me both

[–]Clayburn 0 points1 point ago

Why did he?

[–]a9b4e 0 points1 point ago

DAT GRAVITY

[–]midtowngroove 0 points1 point ago

This describes not only new redditors.

[–]shawnaroo 0 points1 point ago

The first rule that we learned in film school, always position the camera directly behind a large tree.

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point ago

That must be the most unathletic thing I have ever seen.

[–]Roguecop 0 points1 point ago

[–]Zcypot 0 points1 point ago

That's me... the few post I made get down voted.... I have no reason why ;'(

[–]b_sando 0 points1 point ago

You feel obese?

[–]in_the_woods 0 points1 point ago

why do I feel like the Pontiac really makes this.

[–]rchase 0 points1 point ago

If you cue up Black Sabbath's "Into the Void" from Masters of Reality, and let it play behind this .gif, you can watch it for hours and it never ceases to be completely amazing.

True story.

[–]Murrabbit 0 points1 point ago

It never gets any easier, just more familiar.

[–]aheadwarp9 0 points1 point ago

You seem to be getting the hang of it...

[–]g-rob2 0 points1 point ago

Welcome. Find some cat GIFs and you'll go far here.

[–]hb94 0 points1 point ago

I've been looking for this gif for so long!

Now he's an expert backwards skateboarder! This was less funny than I was hoping.

[–]jaquanor 0 points1 point ago

[–]salehalt 0 points1 point ago

Gaben on a skateboard. Hahaha, no HL3 for you.

[–]innatepirate 0 points1 point ago

Is that a metal tree?

[–]WorldsTallestMan 0 points1 point ago

Let's face it - those hogs were straight asking for it.

[–]Scoldering 0 points1 point ago

So are you saying that you feel like a reposter?

[–]st3venb 0 points1 point ago

Fatkid PSA,

As a fat kid, when you start falling... Let that shit happen. There is nothing graceful about fat people falling... And by trying to prevent the fall you're only going to prolong it and possibly increase the pain associated with said fall.

Also, fat people should stay away from skateboards and rollerblades.

[–]MonkeyChugger 0 points1 point ago

I feel ya bro/sis

[–]marshalj 0 points1 point ago

After watching this I got kind of sad, because that man is so fat and if he weren't so fat he could have easily caught his balance and not fallen over.

[–]buttsmell 0 points1 point ago

FRANCIS, GET OFF THAT SKATEBOARD.

[–]RashidWasHere 0 points1 point ago

Anyone else see this on Ray William Johnson awhile ago?

[–]Airazz 0 points1 point ago

What happened here wasn't because he was new to skateboards. It happened because he's fat.

[–]jaetman 0 points1 point ago

i feel like this could use some tuba sound effects

[–]DRTwitch1 -1 points0 points ago

maybe if you had an intereting repost you'd get karma

[–]jonathanrdt -2 points-1 points ago

<sigh> murica...

[–]TheScoop06 -1 points0 points ago

I laughed so hard to this I almost got written up at work... Damn you, OP. shakes fist

[–][deleted] -1 points0 points ago

So many rules!

[–]MetastaticCarcinoma -1 points0 points ago

but YOU aren't a gigantic landwhale neckbeard, right?

Right?

[–][deleted] -2 points-1 points ago

Sucks to be fat.

EAT LESS!

[–][deleted] -2 points-1 points ago

LOL!!

[–]thingsomething -2 points-1 points ago

The lesson here is, when you try to post and fail, just accept it.
