It took me a minute to figure out those were his legs all along and not a second person sneaking in to the jet pack. I kept thinking, "Man, that guy in back must have super strong arms to hold up the guy in front like that."

[–]SirMixOccasionally 259 points260 points ago

Thank you for pointing this out to me.

[–]CarlLady 25 points26 points ago

Anytime.

[–]InterstellarPancake 1 point2 points ago

Yes.

[–]Crim91 1 point2 points ago

I realized the at as well, then I asked myself, how is he getting those legs up?

There is only one thing about waist high on a man that has the ability to lift anything or move on it's own...

[–]Cromock 59 points60 points ago

I just found my Halloween costume.

[–]proudmamakoep 15 points16 points ago

This is exactly what I was thinking!

[–]Batticon 38 points39 points ago

oh my gosh, you're right!! how the hell did he do that?

[–]Kimano 25 points26 points ago

Locking stilts.

[–]I_Pee_Sitting_Up 6 points7 points ago

Thank you. I figured out the hard part (semingly so,) but the leg elevation was making me crazy.

[–]McBurger 1 point2 points ago

bonerific

[–]I_Pee_Sitting_Up 3 points4 points ago

I would be lying if I said that hadn't crossed my mind.

[–]Batticon 3 points4 points ago

interesting.

[–]sprucenoose 5 points6 points ago

The front "legs" were fake, and had a frame that would raise them. He just stepped back and out of the fake legs, then raised the frame.

[–]Batticon 2 points3 points ago

I see now!

[–]Worlds_Worst_Liar 13 points14 points ago

At first, I thought the legs coming out of the jetpack were some sort of robotic legs that extended down when he turned it on. But then I was like, "WTF, Brain?" and watched it again.

And again.

And again.

And then I finally understood just what was happening, and I suddenly felt very very smart.

[–]PovertyPoint 3 points4 points ago

I am glad I'm not the only one.

[–]Riddlr 3 points4 points ago

Holy shit I'm an idiot.

[–]jestacado 2 points3 points ago

It took me longer than I'd like to admit that I noticed that they were even legs at all. "How the fuck is he doing that?"

[–]Sixpints 2 points3 points ago

Hey there, (former) neighbor.

[–]CarlLady 1 point2 points ago

Name yourself!

[–]TentativeAnswer 2 points3 points ago

I didn't see it until 3-5 loops AFTER I read your comment.

[–]1_point_21_gigawatts 3 points4 points ago

I read this comment before watching the .gif and it still took me a minute to figure out that those weren't his legs in the front. My attention span must be shorter than that of a goldfish.

[–]hilarioussagittarius -1 points0 points ago

So much this.

I rofled with tears when I figured it out.

Such a great costume!

[–]apollorockit 0 points1 point ago

Roflwted?

[–]AnomalousX12 163 points164 points ago

That would make an awesome Halloween costume :o

[–]EatBeets 20 points21 points ago

Found it. Kasou Taishou!

[–]footballersrok 4 points5 points ago

Thank you! That gif was too damned slow.

[–]koatheking 29 points30 points ago

This would be so amazingly fun at a party. Running around like you can barely control it yelling "WOOAAAH NELLY!" There is no way you wouldn't get laid.

[–]MelancholySpork12 20 points21 points ago

I might do this, if only to yell "WOOAAAH NELLY"

[–]AnomalousX12 3 points4 points ago

Zero chance of not getting laid.

[–]no_egrets 1 point2 points ago

Whoooa, Nelly! I thouddahaddit in reversh.

[–]forgotmydamnpassword 46 points47 points ago

I fully expect to see someone turn it into a "nothing to see here" meme costume.

[–]AnomalousX12 31 points32 points ago

Aw man. Whoever does that is gonna get all the karma.

I wish I wasn't so lazy.

[–]touchmybelly 7 points8 points ago

Yeah if you were a go-getter you could amass some o' that valuable karma

[–]AnomalousX12 4 points5 points ago

Sigh Maybe one day I'll know what it feels like to be karma rich.

[–]McBurger 3 points4 points ago

When you reach 50,000 comment karma they send you a free duffelbag.

[–]RiPotato 1 point2 points ago

I'm only 40 000 comment karma away from a free duffel bag?

[–]AnomalousX12 2 points3 points ago

... Are you serious? I can't tell if you're serious. If so, that's amazing.

[–]KingToasty 3 points4 points ago

At 100,000 comment karma, they send you free neckbeard.

[–]noyourenottheonlyone 2 points3 points ago

Why would someone want two neckbeards?

[–]KingToasty 2 points3 points ago

Because friends share.

[–]NBAallstar 0 points1 point ago

This man tells the truth, I'm working on getting my second.

[–]PuroMichoacan 1 point2 points ago

You have to sell your soul to Reddit.

[–]ArchmageJesus 3 points4 points ago

I'm already trying to figure out how to make it

[–]AnomalousX12 1 point2 points ago

I expect a followup c:

[–]KookyGuy 7 points8 points ago

I would change it by going as the Rocketeer.

[–]AnomalousX12 1 point2 points ago

He was one of my favorite action figures as a kid C:

[–]KookyGuy 0 points1 point ago

I had one too.

[–]mrsushisushi 81 points82 points ago

I am a proud Japanese person

[–]Corsair857 136 points137 points ago

I hope you are STILL proud.

[–]mrsushisushi 112 points113 points ago

Yup

[–]emperorpotatoketchup 43 points44 points ago

no shame at all

[–]emeaguiar 63 points64 points ago

And they say wrestling is fake.

[–]FluffyLion 13 points14 points ago

Well, I'd say he's totally stuffing his crotch.

[–]duiker101 23 points24 points ago

to me it looks totally legit.

[–]Bladewing10 54 points55 points ago

[–]SuminderJi 22 points23 points ago

Is that girl 8?

[–]xirho67 34 points35 points ago

[–]sprucenoose 3 points4 points ago

Seems legit.

[–]sprucenoose 2 points3 points ago

Well, at least he didn't do the same move as above on her...

[–]PuroMichoacan 12 points13 points ago

[–]TakingKarmaFromABaby 4 points5 points ago

Wasn't there a big black guy in the US 90s wrestling era that smothered people with his ass, it was his special move.

[–]Gr33d007 14 points15 points ago

Rikishi?

[–]Waqqy 2 points3 points ago

Who stole that move from Yokozuna.

[–]Madonkadonk 3 points4 points ago

Who used a move used by a family member

Rikishi and Yokozuna were cousins (along with the wild samoans, the rock, umaga, any wrestler that has ever had any samoan ancestry)

Edit: Here is the Anoa'i family tree of wrestlers

[–]Waqqy 0 points1 point ago

Holy shit! I had no idea they were all related.

[–]TheVoiceofTheDevil 0 points1 point ago

Amazing.

[–]Corsair857 5 points6 points ago

Yokozuna is the only one I can think of. He was a big Samoan guy though, not black. Oddly enough he was suppose to be a Japanese sumo wrestler.

[–]shahadar 0 points1 point ago

Goldust? He wasn't black but he used to sit on people's faces.

[–]SavageNoble 3 points4 points ago

More than ever.

[–]poh2ho 1 point2 points ago

[–]SpermWhale -1 points0 points ago

[–]JurassicParkerr -2 points-1 points ago

[–]SilverHammerMan 19 points20 points ago

[–]eyecite 1 point2 points ago

Jetpacks = Very Yes

[–]Panagoman 18 points19 points ago

Can we get a source video?

[–]UnAVA 18 points19 points ago

In case people are wondering, its from Kasou Taishou, a Japanese TV show that was based on people showing off their creative costumes. also the origin for the famous matrix pingpong http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PgM11RtGjeI

[–]Nithoren 0 points1 point ago

[–]sprucenoose 5 points6 points ago

Those poor Fukushima victims have terrible mutations and you make fun of them. Shame.

[–]ieatbees 3 points4 points ago

[–]Haasts_Eagle 1 point2 points ago

The banana shooting sound effect was exactly as I imagined it!

[–]mrsushisushi 1 point2 points ago

I approve

[–]Red_AtNight 0 points1 point ago

That is the greatest thing I have ever seen.

[–]Longerbomber 21 points22 points ago

Can we get an "abandon thread" version of this?

[–]DyingBreed1 5 points6 points ago

I already told myself I'm going to Japan at least once, before even seeing this masterpiece.

[–]jollyholliday 18 points19 points ago

[–]McBurger 1 point2 points ago

[–]TheCrazedChemist 0 points1 point ago

Kasou Taishou is awesome. They should bring a show like that to the states.

[–]donkify 0 points1 point ago

The enormous fleshlight, stage left, is possibly more interesting and raises a few important questions.

[–]HawaiianBrian -1 points0 points ago

NO FUCKING WAY!

[–]8-orange 0 points1 point ago

[–]kccolorado 0 points1 point ago

"People Art" - I watched the whole Japanese tv series. Most of them were pretty creative.

[–]astoyabi 0 points1 point ago

This looks like it's from en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kasou_Taishou

[–]Kroz_McD 1 point2 points ago

Where can I buy one of these things?
