Lost my shit at "Man forced to eat beard". The flashlight one everyone makes fun of, but the thing is, that one made sense. Remember flashlight bombs, anyone?

[–]Yosel 27 points28 points ago

That is just heartbreaking. It must be so hard for him to tell his story. With such a small mouth.

[–]mazbrakin 23 points24 points ago

They cut mah beard, and forced me to eat it.

[–]aldude3 15 points16 points ago

I feel bad for him, its not everyday a neckbeard leaves his home.

This is why we mustn't leave reddit, child. The outside world is not safe for people like us.

As a resident of Phoenix, I wish I DIDN'T remember them.

[–]Berkbelts 8 points9 points ago

I am proud everytime I see the "Man forced to eat beard" as it is from my local news. I saw it on there when it was reported.

[–]absolut_ablative 1 point2 points ago

I remember watching it live and thinking, "Oh sh*t, the internet is going to find this."

[–]Almostharry 4 points5 points ago

Definately thought that said bread.

Kentucky, in the city of Lawrenceburg

I have seen that "Man forced to eat beard" headline maybe a dozen times, but have always read it as "Man forced to eat bread", just realized what really happened when I watched the video

[–]rdpcatfan 0 points1 point ago

the beard eating one is from kentucky, i live here and i laughed my ass off when i saw it on the news

[–]missgonzo 19 points20 points ago

I keep seeing the "not wearing any pants" and wondering to what degree she took the business of being without pants. Bare ass? Underwear? I'm curious and a quick googling didn't tell me.

[–]Hamadaguy 19 points20 points ago

Well it IS Portland... It could be the Naked Bike ride or literally any other activity where people just decided to take off their pants.

[–]rcthedigitalhero 4 points5 points ago

I knew her actually. It isn't surprising in the slightest that was her caption

[–]NPC82 2 points3 points ago

brb moving to portland.

[–]bheklilr 2 points3 points ago

maybe even a dress or a skirt. If she's scottish it could be a kilt!

[–]HaydenTheFox 7 points8 points ago

Kilts are for men. The longer your dick, the longer the kilt. *The More You Know*

[–]Willie_Main 1 point2 points ago

I'm assuming it was a flashmob type thing. A lot of times they do "no pants" mobs where people go about everyday activities while wearing normal clothes on their top half and regular underwear on the bottom.

[–]greymeta 1 point2 points ago

Is it like the ones Improv Everywhere organize every year?

[–]Philoeteus 32 points33 points ago

The kid who took a picture of the naked guy is my neighbour! The news channel paid him $100 for pictures and the interview. Here's the story from my city http://grossepointe.patch.com/articles/woods-police-subdue-man-wih-taser-on-mack-ave

Hallsberg har ingen plattform 10, bara 1, 2, 3, 4, 5a och 5b. Men tåget till Karmaköping går från 5a, ett spår som är alltför jävla långt från stationshuset.

The H is silent if that's any help.

[–]ausmor31 22 points23 points ago

As a hockey fan, I'm glad I've heard his name said by commentators. I'd be lost if I had to pronounce it on my own.

[–]BirthdaySuit_Up 8 points9 points ago

Shout out to Hammer, and essentially all foreign names in the NHL

[–]kingkongdm 12 points13 points ago

You can pronounce it as "y'allmarsson", I think that's as close as you can get if English is your first language.

[–]lethargicwalrus 0 points1 point ago

English is my first language. Thanks for the pronunciation help.

[–]WhatTheFhtagn 1 point2 points ago

Yalmarson, I think.

[–]AlwaysMeowing 2 points3 points ago

I've never seen that image before, and I laughed so hard my stomach hurts. Still laughing.

[–]hawksfan81 1 point2 points ago

The official pronunciation on the Blackhawks' website is JAHL-muhr-suhn.

[–]TPenny17 0 points1 point ago

I'm pretty sure it's pronounced "Chalmerson"

[–]Mr_chiMmy 0 points1 point ago

And you're wrong.

Y'ah = Hja

[–]prajo2 0 points1 point ago

Chalmerson is how the announcers always say it for some reason -_-

Or as I like to call him ... Superintendent Chalmerson

[–]Freddie_AppsHero -3 points-2 points ago

I think it's pronounced a bit like "Yarl-mar-soon".

[–]Amorong 22 points23 points ago

Yeah, early this summer here in Phoenix, AZ there were 5 or so flashlight bombs. If you see a flashlight laying on the ground, you're going to pick it up and turn it on, right? Kind of clever (and sick of course) of whoever made them..

[–]agentmalder 5 points6 points ago

I remember there was one on the ASU Tempe campus. Scary shit with the whole EOD team there.

[–]crackodactyl 1 point2 points ago

How severe were the injuries?

[–]Tehepicnub1254 0 points1 point ago

What were the flashlight bombs? Im assuming some type of chemical that would react to the heat of the flowing electrcity and blow? I think i was too young to remember it.

[–]Tweedle 15 points16 points ago

The second slide was about a professional hockey player named Niklas Hjalmarsson and was probably played on the NHL network making the slide not so relevant.

[–]RedditingtonIV 1 point2 points ago

It was on Blackhawks TV on the official website for the team. Most of the stuff that is on there is just the players goofing around. This one they took Hjalmarsson to Ikea to eat Swedish Meatballs.

[–]hawksfan81 0 points1 point ago

See, it's funny 'cause he's Swedish.

[–]Jewassassin 8 points9 points ago

God damn it. two of these are from Portland...

[–]millej 4 points5 points ago

I was on the local news a few years back for a story related to my university. They asked everyone they interviewed for our name and year at school, so being in my fifth year, I jokingly told them I was a super senior. Apparently they liked the sound of it, so they put me on with the description "UB Super Senior". I'm still not sure whether I should be proud of it or feel like a jackass.

[–]polkadot123 1 point2 points ago

That's the real title of 5th year seniors at my school.

[–]pakiet96 3 points4 points ago

i lost it when i read 'suspicious flashlight'

[–]Tehepicnub1254 0 points1 point ago

There were flashlight bombs that caused SEVERE injuries when they were turned on. I dont know the full story, but I wish someone would elaborate.

[–]BT2113 5 points6 points ago

As a Blackhawks fan, Hjalmarsson is just about as good as a meatball on the ice, if not a little worse.

However, the back-story for the Meatball Enthusiast is that he is from Sweden and BlackhawksTV likes to have a little fun with the players on their videos every now and then. He did this IKEA commercial:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vYoW0F01NbQ

and didn't live up to his goal so far.

[–]xSupernaut 1 point2 points ago

As a massive Blackhawks hater, I gained a lot of respect for Hjalmarrsson after learning he is a fellow meatball enthusiast.

[–]BT2113 -1 points0 points ago

As a massive Blackhawks fan, I still think Hjalmarrsson is a turd.

[–]Schnaars 2 points3 points ago

LOL Sal Rizzo.

[–]flappymcnutty 0 points1 point ago

I know, that's what got me. Sounds like it is straight out of Jerky Boys.

[–]Eylisia 1 point2 points ago

The suspicious flashlight got me.

[–]happyplaces -1 points0 points ago

hilarious that there were actual flash light bombs all over phoenix right?

[–]Eylisia 7 points8 points ago

Why would you assume I'd know that? Oh wait, we're all American, and we all pay attention to domestic news, right?

[–]polkadot123 3 points4 points ago

I think this exchange shows us all that perhaps some of these headlines that seem ridiculous at first may have had legitimate news behind them, if only for a little context.

[–]RageMorePlz -1 points0 points ago

Because reddit is an american-only site, right?

No. I just think he's cute.

Took "p1cture" of naked guy? Seriously?

[–]blindcata 0 points1 point ago

Sadly I remember watching the news about the "man forced to eat beard"

[–]KittyKathy 1 point2 points ago

During the tropical storm there were news that said "filled his tank" "bought groceries" and things like that.

[–]Confucius_says 1 point2 points ago

I'm most interested in "not wearing any pants", is there more on that in the studio?

[–]iPoopFrenchOnionSoup 1 point2 points ago

Local news broadcasts have so much to offer in the comedy department. This had me laughing really hard.

[–]boonimajneB -1 points0 points ago

News these days are bull.

[–]QuickSkope 1 point2 points ago

Anyone else think the beard guy looks like a hobo chum-lee?

[–]mercury14 1 point2 points ago

Just for the record, ABC 7's Cool Kid segment is about kid's doing good things for the community, school, etc. They get nominated and get a scholarship I think.

[–]NatTreav 1 point2 points ago

hahaha the kick a ginger victim goes to my old highschool

[–]mr_ewe 1 point2 points ago

"Man forced to eat beard" Wow that one really did it for me

[–]sgtpandybear 0 points1 point ago

I am in Kentucky and I remember when that guy had to eat his beard. I was dying of laughter when I saw that shit on the news! My boyfriend works in Lawrenceburg where this guy is from, it is a small town full of rednecks, but is not as small as the town I live in, Harrodsburg.

[–]MonkeyMan13 0 points1 point ago

Hjalmarsson made sense. He's from Sweden so they ask him about Ikea products and meatballs.

[–]YourFavoriteHippo 0 points1 point ago

I was disappointed "Minor League Guy" wasn't there.

[–]marshalton 1 point2 points ago

Now imagine that everything's related to the same incident. Someone needs to come up with a story to tell us wtf happened.

[–]Pepperyflower -1 points0 points ago

I lol'd. No, I really laughed out loud.

[–]FightingAmish 0 points1 point ago

My favorite is that Man Forced to Eat Beard is labeled a "Big Story."

[–]shutyourgob 0 points1 point ago

Does the reservoir guy have sunglasses on the back of his head?

[–]nu0r 0 points1 point ago

The "cool kid" kid was the best.

[–]bhindblueiz 0 points1 point ago

The flashlight thing is no joke. Some fucks think its funny to leave bombs laying around for people to pick up. Most likely children, think about it, you see a flashlight, kills darkness, it's cool and hand held, and you don't have one, so you gotta pick it up and have it for your own. Sadistic fuck. Anyways, flashlight thing, is kinda old and not really funny, the other shit, hilarious.

[–]cassiexchaos 0 points1 point ago

Latin?

[–]bhindblueiz 0 points1 point ago

Lol, thank you, my iPhone likes to make me look stupid. Latin is supposed to be laying.

[–]implicate 0 points1 point ago

I remember the "urinated in a reservoir" guy. This happened in Portland. I'm pretty sure the guy was drunk and thought it was a sewage treatment plant, not a city water reservoir. The city got the great idea to dump nearly 8 million gallons of water, which is totally ridiculous. I think he was on the hook for the $30,000 bill, too.

Found the link.

[–]dinocillan_ 0 points1 point ago

This reminds me of something Robyn would report on....

[–]aidiot 0 points1 point ago

Josh Seater does look like the type of guy to piss in a reservoir, especially with those sunglasses on the back of his head. I mean is he literally insane?!

I remember the story of the man who had to eat his own beard. I'm from around that area of Kentucky.

[–]DivinePotatoe 1 point2 points ago

I would be more intrigued if all these people were involed in one connected news story.

[–]DwedPiwateWobberts 0 points1 point ago

Did anyone else notice that in the last picture, the guys name is a mix of both Sal Rosenburg and Frank Rizzo from The Jerky Boyz?

[–]TapirTarts 0 points1 point ago

The meatball enthusiast is Jesse from breaking bad.

[–]Greymor 0 points1 point ago

Thsis is the first time I have laughed out loud from reddit in some time.

Stay classy, Friends.

[–]bootiful_ring 0 points1 point ago

I appeared on my local news once and I was quite pleased with it.

Of course the ginger got kicked. I mean just look at him.

It's a fleshlight! Wait a minute! That's mine!

Not only is he a ginger, but he's also Jewish too. Life can't be easy for him.

[–]Constantly_Wired 0 points1 point ago

I HAVE THE SAME SHIRT AS THE "COOL KID!" YOU GUYS KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS!

[–]DarthNobody 0 points1 point ago

For some reason, 'suspicious flashlight' sent me into a snicker-fest. I don't even care if it's not photoshopped and indicative of how paranoid and retarded society is, that's just hilarious.

[–]red7up -2 points-1 points ago

I lost it at the flashlight

[–]Tehepicnub1254 -1 points0 points ago

Flashlight bombs. More then 5 went off total, and in context, its mot as funny as it seems.

[–]MonsieurGrimm 0 points1 point ago

the meatball enthusiast looks like Demuslim.

just sayin'.

[–]Tehepicnub1254 -1 points0 points ago

Flashlight bombs were a big problem at that time in that city. I dont know the full story, but schools were closed, and people were afraid to leave their houses. Funny out of context, not so much in context.

Holy crap I just laughed so hard that I almost broke my hand slamming it onto my table and my stomach hurts and I'm crying and I might vomit.
