Dec 16 2008Well, That Made My Day: A Wii Accident
I love the way he starts crying for his mommy and slapping the TV like that'll magically make the screen uncrack. Remember: they give you wrist straps for a reason -- they make pretty bracelets!
What a Wiimote to the TV Actually Looks Like [gizmodo]
Thanks to Julian, who doesn't break TVs playing Wii because he has a HD projector -- that comes out of his penis. It's true, he plays movies for people on the subway. Also, thanks to Richthegringo, who caught a showing of the Dark Knight.

Mentally ill or not, I feel terribly bad for this poor kid/grownassman.
It reminds me of a baby who drops their ice cream. Except I don't want to buy this guy another one.

what a moron, cool affect on the tv when it broke tho.

Did I mention I have a Wii set up in the oval office? I walked in on Dick Cheney bowling one night and he threw two Wiimotes at me. I managed to dodge both attempts to hit me, but then the Wiimotes hit the television behind me. I was so upset that I called out for my momma. Barbara was there quickly to console me.

Those Wiis are freakin' dangerous. I once gave someone a sprained ankle, broken phalange, a ruptured duodenum, and a sub dermal hematoma while playing Wii crocheting... I'm very competitive.
14. Pew³ - December 16, 2008 1:24 PM
I'm pretty sure theres a website just for showing damages caused by the Nitendo Wii.
15. Sharla - December 16, 2008 1:24 PM

I work in a tv repair place (link above), and get calls about this shit DAILY. The best part is when you tell them that the LCD screen will be worth twice the television cost to fix. Thats when the women start offering BJs and men start offering their sisters. Its a sad sad world.
18. Daisy - December 16, 2008 1:29 PM
FAKE!!!!
This is a complete photoshop job. You can tell its a fake because the shadow's are all wrong.
This is exactly like the scene in the movie Never Back Down where Max is bowling in a tournament, and another bowler puts sugar in his gas tank. He later encourages Max to bowl for money, and when the people he's playing find out he's a pro, they get mad and stick his hand int he ball return.
19. woohoo - December 16, 2008 1:32 PM
one question....
why is he filming himself playing wii bowling? it doesn't get much more sad than that...until you break your tv
20. Pew³ - December 16, 2008 1:34 PM
Am I the only one that has noticed Gizmoducks crush on Moose Knuckle?
Or is that just my jealousy talking again?
21. Andyman - December 16, 2008 1:34 PM
Conveniently framed so we catch all the action. Who video tapes someone WII bowling?
22. Thisgirl! - December 16, 2008 1:38 PM
okay well here it goes!!
FIRST!!
yeah me..
23. glace neuf - December 16, 2008 1:39 PM
i'm not into the whole daisy fake thing, but this honestly does seem staged.
24. VanillaFace - December 16, 2008 1:40 PM
@19
I believe he was going for a record and wanted it to be taped . . . there really is no way around the fact of how sad this is.
25. GLadtosay - December 16, 2008 1:41 PM

26. Pew³ - December 16, 2008 1:45 PM
@22. you aer only first if there is a .1 to the left of your name. And since I am responding to you by typing 22. That would make you twenty second. You're not the one bowling in this video are you.
The real first.
27. Elmo - December 16, 2008 1:52 PM
HAHAHAHA what a dumb shit
that did make my day, thanks man.
28. Nick - December 16, 2008 1:55 PM
i think its fake.. why would he be filming himself playing on his wii? and his reaction seems staged... this could easily be done in a program like after effects..

31. Mike - December 16, 2008 2:09 PM
am I the only one that is gonna ask? WHY was he videotaping this?
32. Jeezy - December 16, 2008 2:22 PM
@31 No, it's been asked several times already...
I HATE Daisy more than everyone else on here, but this is clearly fake. If you've ever seen a broken LCD screen, that's not typically how they react to impact. The flickering is rather fake looking, as is the crack in the screen.
33. Wes - December 16, 2008 2:27 PM
This is actually 100% fake.
Firstly ask yourself why a kid in pajamas is video taping himself playing wii bowling.
Secondly, hes totally playing up being a kid thing before.
And I'm pretty sure that the screen never cracked and its just a video tape playing.
34. john - December 16, 2008 2:33 PM
its fake u dumbasses
and I don't mean fake like it is from the movie never back down although it looks like that scene
35. dr.yosh - December 16, 2008 2:36 PM
after all who cares...it's just another youtube evil video that make us waste our ( useless) time.
C'mon Britney, you gonna make it again!

What a f***ing Wii-tard!
37. D in Dallas - December 16, 2008 2:47 PM
Fake or not, I do like how after the screen cracks it excitedly exclaims, "PERFECT!"
38. Mr. Sausage - December 16, 2008 4:02 PM
Is it just me or does anybody else find it a bit strange that somebody is filming themself Wii Bowling?
39. Panda - December 16, 2008 4:34 PM
k, since working in tv repair, that infact DOES look like a broken screen , 2 its a plasma not LCD. 3 if in fact it WAS fake, the velocity of the wii mote hitting the screen would still break the tv ( even lightly tapping it does the trick sometimes) so my conclusion? Anamatronic world domination by Insurance fraud.
40. marcus - December 16, 2008 5:16 PM
ah... nothing makes my day like watching some poor loser act out the urban dictionary definition of EPIC FAIL in front of a camera...
anyone else reminded of forrest gump/ the waterboy when laying eyes on this sap
41. Alan - December 16, 2008 6:51 PM
This is fake, and no it isnt a scene from Never Back Down. A throw from that distance and that force would not have cracked his tv screen like that unless it was made with 2mm ice. And also the screen wouldnt have gone completely blue, it would just be distorted around the cracked areas.
42. formerly SPELLINGNAZI - December 16, 2008 6:51 PM
Thumperchica, I think I'm in love...I came here to post one word:

I feel like he deserved it =) although its fake, its still kinda funny..in that sad kind of way

He laughed his ass off until he had tears in his eyes.
Good to see the apple hasn't fallen far from the tree, I guess...
48. CactusPete - December 16, 2008 10:54 PM
Fake, you can tell because the guy bowling looks nothing like the Mii; furthermore, the man playing the game is left handed, yet the Mii is right handed.
This does remind me of a scene from the movie "Ever Give Up" when Jeff tries to consume an entire bottle of Vimax Pills, and then searches for the perfect girlfriend by viewing a Mii Parade. Upon finding the hottest Mii, the Vimax Pills kick into overdrive and his private junk swells up and bust a hole right through the brand used Plasma screen he bought from a pawn shop with his Las Vegas winnings. The moral of the story is that what happens in Vegas does not neccessarily end there. A lesson learned from watching one of the best romantic comedies with a thrilling sci-fi horror twist!
49. CakeWalk - December 16, 2008 11:04 PM
Im surprised that no one has understood what is the funniest thing about this clip. The guy has a perfect game going, and this was the last throw in the 10th frame... This can also be viewed as evidence supporting CactusPete.
50. mirroredcactus - December 16, 2008 11:44 PM
Fake or not Daisy should get set on fire put out then set on fire again!!! Daisy it's people like you that make people like me scared to reproduce if my kids are anything like you I'll burn them then myself for having them!!! Seriously I hate you!!!
51. Drunken Heathen - December 16, 2008 11:56 PM
he looks and sounds like Buster Bluth
52. CactusPete - December 17, 2008 12:25 AM
Did I mention the Mii character has a mustache, and the guy playing clearly isn't allowed to have one. I get the feeling his Mom shaves him every morning; hence, fake!
This also reminds me of the time Jeff shaved his pubes and convinced Daryl to wear them as a beard and walk into a pediatrician's office and ask for a healthy dose of Vimax Pills. Although the doctor knew he was a minor because he walked into a pediatrician's office, he sold Daryl the Vimax Pills anyways, and then he used the money to purchase a three-way ticket to Las Vegas. Truly one of the best Romantic comedies with a sci-fi horror twist!
53. eggs - December 17, 2008 12:36 AM
Seriously, am I the only one feeling sorry for the poor guy? First he has mommy issues, then he breaks his very expensive toy, and now he has the internet mocking him. Oh well, just me then.
54. knoblar - December 17, 2008 12:44 AM
i think he was filming himself because he was about to get a perfect game
55. CactusPete - December 17, 2008 12:55 AM
eggs from comment 53, I tend to live life vicariously ever so often, so yes I feel sorry for him. So much so that I feel the need to convince myself this is fake! So that I may make light of the situation. I tend to get quite spasmodic when attempting to believe what I have seen is actually real.
I am now reminded of the scene from the movie "Ever Give Up" When Jeff is having an existential moment because Daryl convinced Jeff that their whole life was not real at all, but merely a movie with a plot consisting of the elements of a romantic comedy with a sci-fi horror twist. This is precisely the scene where it takes the sci-fi twist. They become horrified 6 scenes later when they realize they exist not merely as a movie yet it gets worst. They exist within the mind of a comment troll. Now that is scary stuff. Precisely why this is the best ever romantic comedy with a sci-fi horror twist! That I mention the movie is also existentially ironic, way more so than "Synecdoche New York", now playing in selected theatres that are probably nowhere near you.
56. Carl From NJ - December 17, 2008 1:26 AM
Once upon three weeks ago I accidentally put my house cat into a coma with a wiimote. Sorry I don't have footage evidence but I don't randomly videotape my Wii sport skills because I never bowl a perfect game. Hell, I do the wii-sofa-king-tarded "touchdown" dance whenever I am lucky enough to get a turkey strike! That reminds me to give a shout out to Dr. Oeben. If you live in Houston TX. then this is the best veterinarian for cats in town. An experience far better than I had growing up in Jersey when I had to put my favorite cat, Granny Stripper to sleep. If it wasn't for Dr. Oeben, then my daughter Maggie would have hated me and the Nintindo Company forever. I would advise all parents to take away their Wii consoles if they cherish pets, vases, brand new flat screens, or any furniture for that matter, but first you might want to make sure you don't have any guns in the house.
Reminder: Sweaty palms+Wiimote= potential death for TVs and small house pets.
Acne teenage sons with no gaming console+father's handgun= no wife to sleep with anymore.
57. eron - December 17, 2008 5:59 AM
No way... it's like a Ben Stiller movie... you see the gag coming from the distance... thinking "no, it can't be, it can't be, IT CAN'T BE!!"... "damn..."
58. old mcdonald - December 17, 2008 10:35 AM
How hard did he actually throw it?
It didn't seem it would actually break from a smack like that.
59. bum master - December 18, 2008 12:02 PM
this is the greatest ever video on the internet
60. gypsy - December 18, 2008 6:31 PM
Our 2 and 3 year old kids used to walk in front of the screen while we played video games. It only took one smack to the head with a wiimote while bowling. They don't do that anymore.
61. Ms. Mollie - December 18, 2008 7:51 PM
that should happen more often. and by that, i mean that people should video tape themselves playing wii and breaking shit more often.
62. Garuda - December 19, 2008 8:44 AM
The multiple warnings mean nothing to him.
63. Unnamed Assailant - December 19, 2008 9:01 AM
The sad thing about this is my 3 year old knows better.
We borrowed my brother-in-law's Wii last Christmas, when she was still 2. We told her she could play some and the first thing she did when I handed her the remote was put the strap on.
I asked her "why" and she basically said so she wouldn't drop it. Her DS lite has a similar strap and she knows dropping electronics=bad.
If a toddler can understand it, I have no sympathy for anyone who breaks their TV or windows or pets.
64. marrilliondillion - December 19, 2008 9:33 AM
yes!!!!!! kill your TV! strike freedoms first blow. the evil computers who secretly run the world will hate you. I love the fact that he then sticks his fingers in the jagged hole like he can`t believe what just happened, and maybe its not real. welcome to the real world, dickhead: when you hit shit hard enough it breaks.
65. Zerevor - December 20, 2008 1:25 PM
People, this is such an obvious fake job that we don't even need to keep debating it.
Why not instead laugh at the stupidity of the man who thought he could fool the internet?
66. Azh - December 20, 2008 2:04 PM
Its sad that people can see something and instantly think of it as fake. Without removing my head from my ass, I can clearly see a Christmas tree. Which tells me he not only got a Wii, but he also got a nice video camera from Santa.
Sadly some people found the video a little too dark, to notice this; so I forgive them their ignorance and knee-jerk reactions. As for the poor guy, heck that is why we pay for house insurance, if he was that worried about it; he could sell it on ebay for spares.
67. Fat Man Walkin! - December 21, 2008 2:57 AM

68. Tony - December 22, 2008 11:42 AM
My brother broke an LCD TV by accidentally throwing an empty plastic 20 oz bottle at it at a pretty low speed. Anything hitting these TVs, plasma or LCD, has a chance of breaking it.
As for "it wouldn't turn blue!", ours turned gray. I don't find that impossible.
69. Mike - December 23, 2008 4:09 PM
To everyone who asked why... he was bowling 300... and if you listen the best part is he actually was successful in achieving that 300. Bahaha.
70. shake&bake - December 23, 2008 5:25 PM
Plasma or LCD? that is the question.
71. AntiYou - December 25, 2008 1:35 AM
I was bowling once and my dog thought I had a toy in my hand so it jumped infront of my hand when i was swinging and cracked her head on the wii-mote and broke it.
72. lol - December 26, 2008 8:04 AM
Fake
73. kellie - December 26, 2008 6:08 PM
and THAT'S why there's a strap on the wiimote, people!
74. dcameron - December 27, 2008 7:04 PM
Nice effect of the TV breaking spreading out from the point of impact. The fact that this is easily visible... Well you know.
75. Lieutenant Bob - December 28, 2008 11:41 AM
This looks quite real.
Calling things fake on the internet doesn't make you smarter or cooler, people (well, other than Daisy, and that's a very very special case). Especially when, you know, it's not fake.
76. ewww - December 28, 2008 11:54 PM

wot a moron!
...in disgusting pj's calling for mummy.
bad fake, I've just tested throwing my wiimote at my screen and nothing happened
(just to prove my little brother wrong) and no, I was not playing this same girlie bowling game! ha, ha, ha.
79. Arranit - January 6, 2009 10:39 AM
I felt a little bit bad for the television, it looked like a nice one...
...but I nearly split my sides in half from laughing so much when the jackass threw the wiimote into the tv with such force.
80. someone - January 7, 2009 4:29 AM
OK here i go...
the funnyist thing in the world that ive seen happen to a guy on a wii
even if its fake or not its still funny as hell i mean come on its fake but
its still funny right dude's.
81. Simply Doe - January 7, 2009 4:24 PM
I really dont think its fake cause my mom just broke a TV that looks eerily similar to that one. We were tossing a little plastic ball for my dog and my dog hit it and it bounced and hit the TV and it broke it. The ball wasnt hard, it wasnt going fast and the TV cracked horribly. and guess what...
...
...
The screen turned blue!
82. Lio - January 7, 2009 8:46 PM

83. The Head - January 8, 2009 10:50 AM
Why does everyone think everything is fake? This is the third video in a row now that has “it’s a fake” comment attached to it.
It’s an LCD screen, its not actually cracked like glass in a window. It the stuff behind the screen that cracked, if you touched that screen it would still be smooth, not broken in any way.
And RV (78) you might want to rethink testing that out if you have an LCD screen. I saw this happen to a laptop screen once; the guy threw his keys towards his desk and hit the screen.
84. paul - January 8, 2009 10:09 PM
hahahaha wow that guy's a dumb-shit! hahaha "Momma! Momma!" hahaha
85. paul - January 8, 2009 10:12 PM
and i agree with "the head" [#83] it happened to my phone. It's called a pressure crack. If you like sit on your phone, it will do the same thing as that, the screen will be messed up but the glass cover will still be smooth.
86. paul - January 8, 2009 10:13 PM

89. Joe - January 11, 2009 11:54 AM
He did it on purpose. He had the strap on the first time and took it off. His hand was also open when he threw it. For the bowling you have to squeeze and release the B button. Can't do that with an open hand.
90. JOSEPH - January 13, 2009 1:07 AM
Heh. Another one bites the dust. That's too bad. I can understand how these things happen but then at the same time, baffling enough, I can't. Thankfully, my nice TV is still intact.

FAKE
SO OBVIOUSLY FAKE
GET A LIFE ppl.
it's a reccord on the screen. he THROWS the remote down and it REBOUNDS to the tv. his FIRST bowl was smooth, arc'd and a flawless motion. a realistic one. the 2nd was intentionally awful and meant to hit the tv.
jeeeezus.
93. elsol - January 27, 2009 2:00 AM
To all the folks crying "Fake!":
It's very likely not; take it from a guy who has worked in electronics repair.
Many plasmas and LCDs have a very thin glass layer over the front of them that doesn't take much impact at all to break the glass and damage the underlying panel. Even twisting the panel unduly whilst carrying it can cause it to crack.
Also people, pay attention: The reason the second throw looks jerky is because the guy clips his left leg with his arm. That's why the remote flies out of his hand in the first place, and you can hear it clear as day on the video.
I feel sorry for this retard, but that's what he is: A retard who didn't read the manual, who didn't wear the strap, who stood too close to the screen, and buggered up his Christmas.
