Ouch….

# 2 Roexan said, on December 20th, 2008 at 4:53 pm

im sorry but that was the funniest thing i’ve seen in a while, as far as joyous stupidity goes!

we’ve all heard the wii scrap recall stories but nothing comes to eyewitness footage…

# 3 BigBoyBC said, on December 20th, 2008 at 5:08 pm

I don’t know if I should laugh or cry, poor guy…

# 4 hhopper said, on December 20th, 2008 at 5:14 pm

I sort of know how that guy feels. I dropped my Kindle yesterday. Now it’s garbage.

# 5 Kelvington said, on December 20th, 2008 at 5:19 pm

That’s got to be a freaking Viso set, I’ve smacked my NON-Viso set several time, and never even dinged it. Plus it’s tad odd that camera is on sticks. Who locks a camera down when shooting home videos? Maybe he was rolling a perfect game.

#4 – Bummer on the Kindle, it should take a fall – you should return it unless you dropped it off a 40 story building.

# 7 John C Dvorak said, on December 20th, 2008 at 5:46 pm

#5 — i saw a quick look at his score..I think he was indeed rolling a 300 and wanted it documented. Poor kid.

# 8 xerstrom said, on December 20th, 2008 at 5:52 pm

Was that set up? The vid did not show enough of the home to convince me. I think it was done at a store….

# 9 Swampper said, on December 20th, 2008 at 5:54 pm

Staged.

# 10 pedro said, on December 20th, 2008 at 6:02 pm

One word: Moron.

#8 That idea crossed my mind.

# 11 FRAGaLOT said, on December 20th, 2008 at 6:27 pm

He’s wearing PJs, not something you’d wear at a best buy, and he looks like an adult, not a kid. He sounded Japanese, and I don’t think he was calling out to his “mama” otherwise he would be looking towards where his “mama” was if he was calling for her.

# 12 Kuma said, on December 20th, 2008 at 7:21 pm

Sounded Japanese… ummm no he didn’t.. he didn’t sound japanese nor did he say anything in japanese

I did like the couple of taps on top of the tv… that will fix it.

its hard to tell with that angel… but it looks like he let’s go of the remote…

# 13 dm said, on December 20th, 2008 at 7:22 pm

Rupert Pupkin?

# 14 Improbus said, on December 20th, 2008 at 7:51 pm

He sounded like he was from Minnesota. Oh jeez! My gosh! Oh, yeah, you betchya.

# 15 soundwash said, on December 20th, 2008 at 8:04 pm

rofl… oh man… that sucks…

personally, i think i would have screamed a bit..

(note to self, no eating fried chicken
before Wii time..)

must be a plasma..*shrug* i’ve come across
many LCD’s with object oriented cracks in them that still show the picture regardless of significant damage..(never worked on plasma)

-s

# 16 onomontapeia said, on December 20th, 2008 at 9:19 pm

Poor guy my ass, no strap, no sense, no sorrow! Idiot.

# 17 OC Technophile said, on December 20th, 2008 at 10:05 pm

More LCD and plasma screens have been hurt with idiot Wii bowlers than any other game. Idiot though.

# 18 Zybch said, on December 20th, 2008 at 10:11 pm

So this stupid jerk thought the strap was only there to make the Wiimote look cool I guess…
Serves him right, him and his stupid miniature xmas tree.

# 19 waltersobchack said, on December 20th, 2008 at 10:46 pm

Listen at 29 seconds.

The game says “Perfect!”

So at least he still had his perfect game going for himself. Which is nice.

It would have been better if he was using a real bowling ball. Maybe people playing Wii should use the old school CRT televisions.

# 20 eyeofthetiger said, on December 20th, 2008 at 11:12 pm

Almost like real bowling.

# 21 Miguel said, on December 21st, 2008 at 3:18 am

Why can’t they make TFTs/Plasmas sturdy as old CRTs?

# 22 GregA said, on December 21st, 2008 at 5:41 am

#21

Because then they would be heavy big and ugly like old style TV’s. You ever see the monstrosity that is a 42″ CRT?

# 23 Miguel said, on December 21st, 2008 at 11:44 am

#22

Not necessarily. CRTs are bulky because of the electron gun that had to be a certain distance away from the screen, and all that glass had to be in a vacuum, and so had to be thicker the bigger the screen.

What I mean is that TFTs and Plasmas could (I think) have some protective layer, maybe half an inch or an inch, I dunno, of strong glass (bulletproof? :) . That would make the set heavier, of course, perhaps much heavier, so I don’t know if that’s not being done just because it’s not feasible or because of marketing considerations – thinner is better.

# 24 JimR said, on December 21st, 2008 at 3:25 pm

I distinctly heard him say “Pushna!” which means “Creator!” in Punjabi and “Jesus fucking Christ!” in Canadian English.

# 25 MurDog said, on December 21st, 2008 at 3:39 pm

He sounds Russian or at least former eastern bloc to me.

The bigger question is, who goes to the trouble of setting up a camera to film himself play Wii bowling unless he intends to do something “Funny”…

Either way, entertaining.

# 26 hhopper said, on December 21st, 2008 at 4:07 pm

He was recording a 300 game.

# 27 Kanjy said, on December 21st, 2008 at 5:22 pm

The funniest thing is that it was the final throw of what would have been a 300 game.

Next time, he should play using a Wii Remote Jacket:

# 28 GetSmart said, on December 21st, 2008 at 10:31 pm

Yep, a 36 inch CRT is a genuine nut buster. Especially Sony’s, musta been 250 lbs of glass in those suckers. These LCD and plasma sets need a 3mm or so piece of clear acrylic velcro’ed to the front like they used to do for the easily damaged Fresnel screens of the old style rear projection big screens. Lots cheaper than buying a whole new TV. Fun tip, you can set fire to stuff totally by accident if you take one of the Fresnel screens off an old big screen and lean it up somewhere direct sunlight can get to it.

Thanks,

I’ll file that useful tid-bit under “Insurance Fraud”
