Jan 14 2009Australian Fixes Plasma TV With Baseball Bat
NOTE: VIDEO IS SLIGHTLY NSFW, DUE TO LANGUAGE.
This video is so full of win I don't even know where to start. But I'll try. First of all, beating the shit out of a TV with a baseball bat is just awesome. Also, humping it against the wall is cool too. And to make matters even more rad, there's a pair of chicks with Australian accents arguing in the background the whole time. Which, combined with the beating of the television, really turned me on. And let me tell you: the guy they're arguing about, Simon (who the one emphatically claims she doesn't give a shit about), must be pretty freaking special for them to ignore the epic repair going down in the next room.
How To Repair Your Plasma TV With a Baseball Bat (NSFW) [gizmodo]
Thanks to Nathan, who once fixed his DVD player with a hockey stick but had to spend two minutes in the penalty box for high-sticking.

God those 2 bitches in the background... Talk about nagging. He should've tried that bat on them but with more force.
Who talks like that even, all nasely and bitchy? I'd have pushed one of them down a tall flight of stairs a long time ago with that tone
6. ashas - January 14, 2009 5:10 PM
what the hell was he doing?
7. known - January 14, 2009 5:12 PM
there is a better solution : Throw a wiimote on it !
8. bam master - January 14, 2009 5:18 PM
i thought he was going to smash it with the bat.
i was so angry when he didnt
9. book - January 14, 2009 5:22 PM
its kinda like how you fix a stuck pixel on an LCD screen... but with like 100000% more violence!
10. known - January 14, 2009 5:30 PM
There's another me, I didn't type #7. The stupid shit that I say is stupid in a different way (I feel a song comin on) where that is nothing I would say, about a wii remote anyway
STFU known wannabe, use the name Daisy or something like the other wannabe's here
11. Lem - January 14, 2009 5:46 PM
I'm australian, and i also know i guy called Simon.
I wonder if i know that guy!
12. Thumperchica - January 14, 2009 5:54 PM
So this guy can FIX his TV with a bat, but some tard kid breaks his with a Wii-mote? WTF mate? WTF...
13. SiGee - January 14, 2009 6:07 PM
I agree with 12!
WTF!
....I also wanted to see him smash it! :(
14. cd - January 14, 2009 6:22 PM
australian bitches........u dont want one of them
15. Harry Meatpistol - January 14, 2009 6:34 PM
And for the record, the "arguing bitches" are the ones ON TV. Notice they get louder when cameraman steps right? Surround sound. And the only reason he was beating it with a bat was to shut them up, the fixing of the picture was just incidental...
16. Daisy - January 14, 2009 6:42 PM
FAKE!!!!
This is a complete photosop job. You can tell its a fake because the shadow's are all wrong.
This is exactly like that scene in the movie Never Back Down where Baja and MAx heard the analog shutoff was coming so they figured their TV was no good any more. They beat the crap out of it with a baseball bat. When Max's dad got home he told them that they have cable so they don't need a new TV after all.
They took the broken TV to Baja's house where her dad fed it into the shredder where it mingles to this day with the remains of hookers and jehovas witnesses.
17. known - January 14, 2009 6:46 PM
#15 No they're not get a hearing aid already.
They're watching some aussie antiques roadshow & talking about that shitty burgundy chair & wooden bookshelf looking thing.
The bitches in the kitchen off camera are arguing about using the phone, being ugly and running out of bacon

Daisy <3
19. timmy the dying boy - January 14, 2009 6:55 PM
FAKE!!!!
You can tell it's fake because there are no baseball bats in Australia. He should have used a cricket bat, mate.
20. Yopoleo - January 14, 2009 6:59 PM
It's funny, coz that's how I fix stuff here. Nothing works so good like a spanking in the ass!
21. RedMantisArmada - January 14, 2009 7:09 PM
it would have been better if every time he hit the t.v he yell "boink"
22. Somebody - January 14, 2009 7:51 PM
"Briliant work mate...now if only he could fix the economy with the same bat."
23. Douchebag McGee - January 14, 2009 8:25 PM
f***ing brilliant mate! Australians are the best :)
24. formerly SPELLINGNAZI© - January 14, 2009 9:55 PM
Now let's see how many f***tards see this and try to doing the same, only with less successful, yet hilarious results!
25. gizmoduck - January 14, 2009 9:59 PM
i don't give a shit about simon either...so there....
and i'm out
26. Spam Artist - January 14, 2009 10:40 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 that scene in the movie Tender Dracula where Dracula loses his job at a bottling plant and moves to San Fransisco to learn juggling from an old master.
Later he recovers the blue prints of the Eiffel Tower which had been missing since 1889.
27. Slodowy - January 15, 2009 12:36 AM
I love absolutely everything about this post. Australian chicks arguing heatedly in Australian are kind of hot.
28. MOMO - January 15, 2009 12:40 AM
1. The show on the TV is British.
2. Baseball bats a readily available in Australia
3. Those girls in the background are what we call "bogans", hence the nasal whiney voices.
29. Lisa - January 15, 2009 1:20 AM
Why is it that every Australian that shows their face to the world usually acts like a complete bogan? Believe me, as an Australian most of us are half decent. As for the guy, well, I am actually impressed. #26 said it was a Photoshop job, I'd be surprised if they even knew how to use a computer.
30. Some Aussie - January 15, 2009 2:15 AM
@29: You sure? I'd say atleast 95% of Australians are bogans... But I'm further into the country.
31. Michael - January 15, 2009 3:14 AM
Where did he get the TV in the first place, hmmm?
32. Over it - January 15, 2009 4:21 AM
Hey Daisy, check this out... I just clicked on the first "related" link in GW's text from the glorious time BEFORE you started your damn parroting bullshit, there are 100+ comments! Can't you see you've chased away most of the people who used to post relevant (& quite often amusing) comments here?
I think most people now don't even bother looking at the comments unless there was a reason to click on the jump & I'm guessing you like people hating you, other than the other 2 asshats who think you are funny.
Go troll some other website already, i want my comments back.
33. known - January 15, 2009 6:46 AM
I agree with #10.
34. What??? - January 15, 2009 7:36 AM
I wonder why he didn't try making love from behind and have bat fixed to his ass or do us a favor and turn back to stone age where he can feel home....
35. greg - January 15, 2009 8:05 AM
@32 if Daisy dont comment, my day isnt complete
36. mike from wa - January 15, 2009 8:14 AM
LADIES AND GENTLEMEN OF THE WORLD
What you just witnessed is the Australian Bogan, in his natural habitat. Skilled in all manner of tools, able to fix tvs with baseball bats, open stubbies with a lighter and light a smoke off the stove.
And yes, just about all (bogan) Aussie women sound like that :P
37. Arny - January 15, 2009 8:24 AM
@32 - One article is hardly a valid sample size to make assumptions about the behavior of the posters to this or any site. In fact if you look at the rest of the articles for that week you will see the same small numbers of posters. Please make your analysis valid by showing daily figures over the last 5 years.
38. Andyman - January 15, 2009 8:29 AM
Somebody tell Daisy and the like that "shadows" is plural not possessive.
Or would that be "shadows" ARE plural and not possessive?
Whatever, my shadow is quite possessive of me.
39. todders - January 15, 2009 8:48 AM
I wonder if he bought the TV on a Black Friday sale.... Do they have Friday's in Australia?
Speaking of Black Friday Sales, If you want to see a hilarious vid about the GUY WHO GOT TRAMPLED TO DEATH AT WAL-MART, you should check this out:

40. cooky - January 15, 2009 8:51 AM
I have to say this guy is my hero following my life motto of "If in doubt give it a clout" and just for the record the show on the Tv is called bargin hunt and it sucks
41. bornintheusa - January 15, 2009 11:11 AM
can someone please elaborate what a bogan is?
42. asdadas - January 15, 2009 11:45 AM
So? I've been repairing things by beating the shit out of them for all my life. As far as I know there's no other way to do it without having to pay a ridiculous amount of money.
TV work like that: if it works and you beat then it gets broken and if it's broken and you beat it then it gets fixed...at least for some time.
And I really mean it. So I don't see why this is relevant.
43. ;-) © - January 15, 2009 12:29 PM
@41- Think, trailer trash, ghetto, redneck, hillbilly, etc. = Bogan
44. Bungo - January 15, 2009 3:48 PM
Oh wow, this makes me embarassed to be an Australian. Full points on the repair (although I agree it should have been a cricket bat). But minus 10million points for showcasing bogan culture to the world.
I bet Shazza complaining in the background bought her dodgy plasma a couple of years ago with her baby bonus courtesy of John Howard.
45. vinny - January 15, 2009 6:01 PM
They are what we aussies describe as (centrelink bums) no jobs, no life, dirty bogans (red necks).... specialy the two bushpigs(ladies?) having a spat out of frame. probably living in goverment housing also
46. Angry Chinese Driver - March 10, 2009 2:04 PM
