Funny story, I didn't realize this post had gained any prominence until just last week. For some reason, reddit didn't notify me of the 300 comments...

Imagine my surprise when three months later, I get a single message of some random comment someone posted here, and check it out to find a 5000+ point post with my name on it, at #11 top all time on r/wheredidthesodago! I am truly honored. I was even more overwhelmed to see that Craig Burnett, the man in the video, had seen this post and did an AMA! I only wish I had found out sooner.

Anyway, here's the source. I found it when we got our new car and I was learning all the automobile car mojo.

this is the best one of these that I've seen, hands down

The best part is when he starts spraying the hose mid-fall.

u/[deleted] Jan 06 '13

It's like he's being tackled by the invisible man.

u/duositex Jan 06 '13

As if pushed by an occult hand...

u/hels Jan 06 '13

I was truly hoping he would bang his head on the car and stick the hose in his nose and have water spray out his ears.

This one gif really summarizes the point of this subreddit. It should be immortalized in /top.

u/[deleted] Jan 06 '13 edited Jan 06 '13

Currently sitting at #35, but I'm sure that will rise at the rate it's going.

It does, however, have to compete with the likes of this.

What is this?

u/SutekhRising Jan 06 '13

I totally agree. It was damn near poetry what that actor did. Watching it is almost hypnotic.

u/gugulo Jan 06 '13

Thanks... this was the first time I had to take action on this sub... I've been getting warnings that the comment section is becoming more and more 4chany as we have more subs. And I guess they were right. Lets see how it goes in the future.

WHAT DID IT SAY

u/nat5ndotcom Jan 07 '13

"Reminds me of this gem - SFW" It hyperlinked to a dick.

Quick tip: you can tell where a link goes w/o clicking on it by long pressing it on android.

u/TheJayP Jan 06 '13

Picture of penis. Do not click unless you are into that kind of thing.

u/BigBassBone Jan 06 '13

Not my thing, but it doesn't bother me, either.

4

u/TheJayP Jan 06 '13

That's good. A penis doesn't really bother me either since take a good gander at mine every day, but I felt obligated to warn people who think otherwise :)

I have this down to an art. I even can close the trunk with my leg. But then I get to the front door and realize its locked and have to set everything down to dig for my keys.

You can see the moment when he realizes the keys are locked in the car. Pure agony.

Damn that's sad, and cringe-worthy.

38

u/[deleted] Jan 06 '13

see, that's why your keys are already hanging halfway out of your pocket, with the correct key the only one exposed. Amateur.

17

u/Ihaveastupidcat Jan 06 '13

Indeed you are correct. My main problem is my wife locks the door after I leave and I don't think about that until I am up the driveway. I need to refine my skills or get my wife to go to the store instead of me.

At least most the paper bags now have handles.

Look at the gif that started it all.

It's also one of the top submissions on this sub right now.

13

u/jamkey Jan 06 '13

This is the 3rd time going to read the thread that gave birth to this subreddit. The origin is just so choice! I've only been around Reddit for a couple years, but has there ever been a subreddit with an origin that was so epic?

13

u/Antrikshy Jan 06 '13

I don't think so.

But r/explainlikeimfive had the fastest subscription rate when it started. It blew ripples in the website. I wonder if the record has been broken.

Also, you say "only" a couple years? That's quite a long time.

u/TryUsingScience Jan 06 '13

r/explainlikeiama started with a pretty great chain of posts as well.

u/TheLiveDunn Jan 06 '13

The gif that you posted was the idea for the name, but it was in the comment thread of the gif that Antrikshy posted, which started it all.

I actually linked to the comment thread that started it all. The gif is in the top comment. Link is from the sidebar.

It's a disproportionate response but I just want to punch this guy for being such a spaz. Maybe I need to start going back to counseling.

I've noticed that most of these are really just people trying to do too much. The solution is not the product, it is just slowing down and doing one thing at a time.

But with this product you don't have to slow down!
