Sep 24 2008Woops: Guy Mishandles Antique

I remember seeing this a while ago, but for those of you who have yet to witness its awesomeness, here it is: some guy showing off his one of a kind antique recording. Warning: he says shit and the host of the show made me punch through my monitor. But still, totally worth a watch.

Old man breaks one of a kind antique [googlevideo]

Thanks to chaosthirteen, who agrees there's just nothing funnier than another person's misfortune.

Firewall - argh.

Much like the broken recording, this video is ancient.

guy better not handle my antique

your poor old shakey handsed bastard. please leave the set. now.

fifth

Old but I love this vid. thanks GW.

Congratulations Grandpa! You just pulled landscaping duty!

EIGHTH!!!!!!!

MUAHAHAHAHAHA! that's what you get for trying to show off your old crap! antiques should be kept in a nice secure location behind some plexyglass or something.

Grandpa was euthanized shortly after during the commercial break.

Fake!

That's a complete fabrication. Its probably a scene from the Directors cut of Never Back Down.

Its still wiked cook when the old junk PEW PEW PEWs all over the floor and the old coot starts to almost cry.

This is old as f***...nevertheless incredibly funny

but yeah, it's also a deleted scene from Never Back Down

I loved that, and it's NEW to me so... I guess I'm not such a loser that I've seen it before

HAHAHAHAHAHA! Don't let old guys handle old shit, it ends badly.

I feel so bad for that old faggot, though. Breaks the f***ing thing apart on TV for everyone to hate on him. He's probably dead by now..either self-inflicted or by another angry collector.

I want to shoot Daisy in the face.

Damn Skippy, nothings funnier than another person's misfortune.

LOL @Jo Mama + 10 internets for you sir.

I'd have gotten away with it too if it weren't for you meddling kids!!!

You're next nick bacon!!!

Parkinson's is Comical!!!!!

@16 - your threat of PEW PEW PEW doesn't scare me. I think you're a fake, and I'll Never Back Down.

O is for OWNED!!!

Shake much?

what the hell was that thing anyway? dick armor???

Daisy smells funny...

I pissed myself laughing at that when I saw it xD

Video is old, and so is Daisy's so-called running gag.

This is an old video but it is so funny. It gives me a case of the LOLs when I see it.

First

That man shakes more than Michael J Fox

Wait so what you guys are saying is that a clip from a defunct show on a defunct network is old? NO F***ING WAY!

k, yeah yeah, poor grandpa and make fun of him, sure, but seriously, imagine it was something else a lot of you geeks on here totally go nuts for. i mean shit, i don't know what the hell that thing was either and i don't care.

what always makes me the most angry in this is that f***ing kid. he makes me, like the geekologie writer said, want to punch through the monitor. that dickless twat, so rude and uncaring, it's obvious that what happened is awkward and this kid is laughing and staring around like a dipshit.

not to mention im pretty sure he's a living incarnation of that zitty fryguy from the simpsons.

Yeah I remember seeing this. Cant imagine what went through his mind when that happened except, "Oh Shit"

Geekologie writer grandpa is kinda silly

It's amazing how many people don't feel sorry for this poor guy.
I've felt so bad for him.

Sometimes I think I'm too human to read your comments.

Whatever.

A really good example of the frailty of possessions. All things break or fall into ruin at some point. We just got to see it in microcosm. Yeah, it's a little bit funny and alittle bit sad all at once (I've never seen it before).
I have a rather large collection of glassware from the 30's and 40's and I'm scared to death to handle it.

wtf was that thing anyways? and why did it just explode in his hand?

@37- it WAS a very old version of a vinyl record. Age made it brittle. I suspect that either old age or nerves caused him to clench just a little harder than he intended.

Ok, so I know the "never back down" comments are some inside joke, but I cannot for the life of me find the post that started it all! Help. Please!

yeah, I feel so sorry for him. I don't think there's anything funny about it. I mean he obviously cared for the posession a great deal, and it was really rare. I am sure it meant a lot to him, and then he is mocked. and for what reason? All he was doing was showing off something that he was proud of. I don't see the humor in it at all.

i really feel quite bad for him- did you see his hands shaking?

nice find from ebaumsworld, its about 10 years old

An good old TechTV "classic" :)

I'm so old I saw this when it originally aired.

That's right kids, this was back when MTV played actual music videos, yup, and most rock songs contained something called Guitar Solos, oh yeah, and Creed was just a bad christian band.

As far as "nimble fingers" here goes, I have to agree with some of the women here who have said this poor bastard deserves some pity. He handled it pretty well...(not the antique obviously) I'm pretty sure that's the first swear he's ever uttered. Better get to confession quick. I would have picked up all the pieces right there and jammed them down that punk host's urethra.

...and done.

That thing was a tube that a needle plays on, an early version of the record. The old man looked nervous as hell being on TV, and I feel so bad for him that he broke that thing.

Plus, not to mention, as he said, it was a one of a kind recording, so it was probably worth a huge sum of money. Poor guy, lost his retirement...

not a rare antique at all, i work for an auction house and smash those old cylinders all the time, hardly one of a kind. people should spend 5 seconds looking at a book before they run their mouths off

Hey douche...I mean Jack. That was the only copy of that piece of music.... Meaning no one else had that particular song. So yes it was rare...
You should take your own advise...

What?! We can't joke about old people doing sad things anymore? Whats next? We cant make Holocaust jokes?! No more 9/11 limericks?! Whats the world coming to. :(

Um, I think that's Chris Pirllio with the old guy.

There once was two towers in New York
Who crumbled because two planes ran into them
It killed lots of people
And made a big mess
And I never was good at limericks.

F*** off.

Alex Hey buddy, haven't seen you for some time. Just hanging out with a hot girl on ____u n i f o r m e d m a t e. c o m a great place to meet hot girl online.

Boy- that Susie has been busy catching up on all her ol' buddies. Stupid box.

I got a good joke to leave you with...
Two tampons are walking down the street. What did one say to the other???


Nothing there both stuck up cunts!
(sorry girls I know how you hate the C word...But it was funny)

eeeewwwwwwwwww..............

i feel bad for the old man but....it's still funny

he was about to say the f word on national TV

fail...


like, seriously epic fail.

man this is oldddddddd as shit

i almost tear up a little after I watch this. I notice that people would cry for blood for the two chicks who destroyed that stormtrooper, yet you laugh at a collector who has one of his valuables break. F*** you guys.
Also, limericks are awesome.

Sixty first.

Daisy, I know that you're still laughing your ass off about the "Never Back Down" joke, but the whole rest of the world has gotten over it, and you should to.

Thanks

P.S. This also includes photoshop jokes
