Am I the only one who thinks hitting someone in the balls isn't funny?

[–]confinesofchemistry 48 points49 points ago

I've always found this one to be pretty fucked up and not funny at all.

[–]Zansh1n 77 points78 points ago

No. I would have thought that would have done an insane amount of damage to that kid. Really kind of sick, tbh.

[–]GeoM56 31 points32 points ago

I thought it was funny until I got testicular cancer and had to get one of my nuts removed (2 months ago), now I can't even watch videos like this without fearing for my last ball. I really really really hope nobody tries to sack tap me. They will get punched in the face.

[–]GeoM56 0 points1 point ago

Hahahaha excellent. I had a similar moment of realization, although it was before the surgery.

[–]GALACTIC-SAUSAGE 12 points13 points ago

Child abuse!

[–]stvb95[!] 11 points12 points ago

When i recovered, i would probably chase the cunt who did that to me with the shovel.

[–]Bangaa 4 points5 points ago

Nah, whenever I see this kind of thing all I think is that the guys doing it are absolute dicks.

[–]DavidByron 3 points4 points ago

Well technically it is sexual assault (rape) so ... yes of course rape is funny if the victim is male. Only female rape is something you can't joke about.

[–]theCodeCat 0 points1 point ago

http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/sexual+assault?s=t

They weren't forcing him to engage in a "Sexual act", so no, I don't think that's rape.

We live in a greyscale world, so I guess you could stretch the definition of "Sexual act" to include getting hit in the balls with a shovel, but really? If someone hit you in balls would you really say "Omg I just had sex!"?

I'm not saying that I think this is ok, but saying that this is rape just seems... wrong.

[–]DavidByron -1 points0 points ago

Actually this may come as a shock to you but the law courts and police don't use a dictionary definition.

It's not rape it is sexual assault. It's an assault and it's the assaulted part is sexual.

[–]theCodeCat 0 points1 point ago

I know that law courts don't use dictionary definitions, yet the legal definition and dictionary definitions usually aren't that different.

The law is slightly different depending on where you live but here is a definition of sexual assault in the legal sense: http://www.duhaime.org/LegalDictionary/S/SexualAssault.aspx

I won't quote the entire thing but there is more to sexual assault than the part of the body in question. I would argue that the circumstances surrounding this "assault" aren't sexual. They didn't hit him in the balls because it was sexual, they hit him in the balls because it hurts. If guys had a similar "weak spot" that wasn't sexual and hurt more, they would have hit him there.

[–]DavidByron 0 points1 point ago

That's still a dictionary. The law will define what it means in the text of the law itself, in a section with definitions of other terms typically. Here's an example from the federal law codes:

http://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/10/920

Although under that definition (which is from the military code) you'd be right.

[–]MrSmite 0 points1 point ago

Hmm...

It's not rape it is sexual assault. It's an assault and it's the assaulted part is sexual.

Earlier:

Well technically it is sexual assault (rape) so

So you were implicitly trying to link the action of getting struck in the testicles to rape (hence the parenthesis), but now you're saying that "it's not rape."

I'm not sure these inconsistencies are going to help your argument very much.

[–]legos_on_the_brain 0 points1 point ago

How is that sexual assault? Looks like plain assault to me as there was nothing sexual about it.

[–]DavidByron 1 point2 points ago

Apparently a man's groin is counted as sexual. Who knew?

[–]danish_hole 0 points1 point ago

Mmm, kinky.

[–]legos_on_the_brain 0 points1 point ago

Not if there was so sexual intent behind the action. They are doing it in a misguided attempt to be funny. Not to arouse anyone. And it is without a doubt not rape. Are you going to say that someone hitting your mouth is sexual assault? Because I believe there are those who use their mouths in a sexual manner. It's this kind of flawed-logic that makes peeing in public into a sex-crime. And it's dumb.

[–]DavidByron 1 point2 points ago

"(3) the term “sexual contact” means the intentional touching, either directly or through the clothing, of the genitalia, anus, groin, breast, inner thigh, or buttocks of any person with an intent to abuse, humiliate, harass, degrade, or arouse or gratify the sexual desire of any person; "

http://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/18/part-I/chapter-109A

There's no such thing as "rape" in the US code of course just levels of sexual abuse, of which this is an example.

[–]legos_on_the_brain -1 points0 points ago

I still don't think you are getting it. And you are the one who called it rape.

When some frat-bro kicks another dude in the crotch, there is nothing sexual about it. He just thinks it's going to hurt a lot and thinks that will be funny. It's not a proper thing to do. It's not nice. But it's not a sex-crime.

Now if that same dude walked up and grabbed that same dudes crotch and said "Yeah, you like that?" That would be sexual assault.

[–]DavidByron 0 points1 point ago

I refer you to the comment you replied to.

[–]mrpooney 1 point2 points ago

My girlfriend found it extremely funny when we were watching "Tucker and Dale VS Evil" She was resting her head on my lap on the couch and when the Sherif got hit in the head with the plank full of nails, she screamed and smacked her hand down on my balls.

[–]bw1870 0 points1 point ago

Outright setting people up to hurt themselves isn't funny at all to me. Not that pain can't be funny, but I think physical humor is much better when it's unexpected.

[–]FUDGESICLES 1 point2 points ago

I guarantee that kid wasn't expecting it and yes I know that's not what you meant

[–]Chausspied 2 points3 points ago

It's not funny, but the GIF is

[–]viper9172 0 points1 point ago

It's funny 'tip your balls drop and GETTING hit hurts.

THAT is when shit gets serious.

"I seen the pain he was in"

[–]tubescientis 8 points9 points ago

It's a telling portrayal of the lower and middle classes. And balls.

[–]Capncanuck0 4 points5 points ago

This isn't much more clever than just putting a blind fold on him and then walking up and punching him in the balls.

[–]89733 6 points7 points ago

That's some great parenting.

[–]futt 2 points3 points ago

I was working with a customer in the Georgia when I first saw this video.

He went to his desktop and opened a folder called "Redneck Fun"

It it was this video, followed by about 40 videos of shooting guns off and blowing up tannerite.

[–]crunch816 14 points15 points ago

It takes a lot of balls to post a video Tosh already had on his show

[–]Aleitheo 4 points5 points ago

You're implying that they watch people like him, this has been on the internet for a while.

[–]crunch816 1 point2 points ago

I didn't say tosh was first, I merely meant the video is old

[–]Aleitheo 1 point2 points ago

I never said that you implied Tosh was the first. You do however seem to be implying that Tosh recently posted this and OP posted it because of him, even though it has been on the internet well before he brought it up meaning OP likely got it from one of the millions of other sources.

[–]samkal88[S] 29 points30 points ago

i dont watch gay porn

[–]crunch816 31 points32 points ago

You're missing out

[–]iamablackbeltman 0 points1 point ago

I don't watch sports, but that doesn't mean I don't play them.

Perhaps he wants a more hands-on experience.

Me too

[–]graffiti81 -2 points-1 points ago

Which he stole from reddit (and reddit stole from somewhere else) better than a year ago.

[–]graffiti81 1 point2 points ago

This is a great way to do major damage to the testicles of the kid. It would hurt like hell, but there is certainly the possibility of permanent damage. Whoever convinced him to do this is a complete douche.

[–]cooler81 1 point2 points ago

"Dude, what if you threw a brick behind you into a bucket, blindfolded?" "Nothing suspicious about that, let's try it!"

[–]cheatonus 3 points4 points ago

Do this as a joke and somehow it's ok. Do it out of anger and it's child abuse. To me, it's abuse regardless. This person should be prosecuted.

[–]Ragequitington 3 points4 points ago

Fuck all the sac tappers and ball smackers/rackers in the ass with a big black rubber cock.

Aw, nuts!

[–]nefigah 0 points1 point ago

In addition to being ಠ_ಠ about intentional ballhitting, it seems like this "prank" goes through a lot of effort (and some amount of chance) to achieve a basic goal. Once he's blindfolded, why not just bean him in the bosons yourself? For that matter, why even blindfold him?

[–]TomFreakingCruise 0 points1 point ago

Nut shots are possible lethal, never understood why people thought they were funny.

[–]spartann17 0 points1 point ago

What a shame. It looks like he would have made it too.

[–]Tragedyy 0 points1 point ago

Why do you trust someone that told you to throw a cinderblock above your head blindfolded.

[–]brownobama 0 points1 point ago

I could watch this all day.

Why is this being up-voted so high? Not only is it over a year old it has been posted literally hundreds of times.

Saw this on Tosh, who saw it on Reddit.... Maybe I'll see it on Tosh again next season!

[–]JesterAzazel -3 points-2 points ago

I've seen a few of these and never once have I seen the context. I'm curious as to how these poor idiots are convinced to wear a blind fold and toss a brick.

[–]h83r -3 points-2 points ago

OUCH MY BALLS

[–]probablytoohonest -2 points-1 points ago

To hell with everyone who is upset. I've been hit in the balls and have hit others in the balls. Its still hilarious, hate me for laughing. I even dig it when my gf hits my balls in foreplay. I'll never down vote you for liking different stuff.
