Jul 29 2009I NEED One: Gas Powered Vortex Cannon

MORE: awesome, brick, cool, daddy likes, experiment, gas, i want, i'll huff and i'll puff and i'll probably turn bright red and pass out, impressive, pew pew!, ring, sticks, straw, sweet, threesome, video

We've allegedly seen the world's largest vortex cannon before, but that thing doesn't hold a match to the power of this sucker, featured on the BBC's Bang Goes The Theory. The goal was to use this cannon to recreate the big bad wolf's huffing and puffing from Three Little Pigs. Now I don't want to ruin it for you, so just watch. Then, you and I are building one and robbing a bank. I've always wanted to wear a ski mask!

Thanks to Ross and James, who'll huff and puff and then use dynamite.

That is sick, like one giant exhale of a good blunt. Ha.

Oh God no...A Firstard and a MyBrute Douchebag all in one...

Thanks for proving how stupid you are, Glynn the Firstarted Asshole.

I can't see the video, but "Gas Powered Vortex Cannon " sounds like pure awesome...

6. craig - July 29, 2009 10:40 AM

Is it really so incredible to knock down a facade made of loosely stacked bricks? I'm pretty sure if you added mortar that cannon wouldn't make a dent.

7. LSDiesel - July 29, 2009 10:40 AM

My ejaculations are more powerful.

8. ShitBitch Carl - July 29, 2009 10:43 AM

Yeah, that brick house is a piece of shit. Fun to shoot the canon at stuff though. Hitting a person with it would be more interesting.

9. jaja - July 29, 2009 10:45 AM

Wow... Someone needs a 2-D woman to get rid of some obvious stress lol.

AHHHH YEAHHHHHH ! IT BLEW BRICKS OVER.... OHH MY GOD I'M COMING !

10. Livingjetlag - July 29, 2009 10:46 AM

Before we go to jail robbing that bank, I want to take this thing to the park and ruin people's chess games, and knock balloons out of kids' hands, and see what happens when you blast the fountain, and then we can wait behind the bakery until the powdered sugar delivery comes...

11. Ollie Williams - July 29, 2009 10:46 AM

Very neat, but the guy's reaction after every shot is annoying as all hell. Someone needs to take their meds.

"Gas Powered Vortex Cannon "
Why are they reproducing Daisy's asshole?

13. JK - July 29, 2009 10:47 AM

Oh wow...he was really excited about knocking down that "Brick Wall", that piece of shit cannon couldn't knock down the crap-shack I live in...Seriously, this is just another waste of time, money and resources.

@1 http://www.fugly.com/media/IMAGES/Random/your-a-fag.jpg
@7 mine are not, but messier than yours
@9 wrong room

I'll pass on this because a real cannon seems more effective & anyone could just throw a torch at that little straw hut. If there's any pigs inside then bacon will be among the ashes

15. Hannukah Montana - July 29, 2009 10:50 AM

@ 7
Seeing your name made me puke in my mouth a little bit... but in a good way.
It's great to see you once again, cuz. You just come a go like a hummingbird. I really want a hummingbird, seriously. Can you come over? Maybe, not? I dunno.

This reminds me over the time when my landlady came to my studio and farted on my window to get the rent money I promised her 2 months prior. I mean, that b'itch can butt-blow like hurricane.

16. ffffffffffffff - July 29, 2009 10:54 AM

i woulda liked to see it shoot something closer up.

like not so far away.

17. Gordon "Fücking" Shumway - July 29, 2009 10:56 AM

@15

Afterwards did you tell her you got a job and then procede to run out the back door to the local bar and order one bourbon, one scotch, and one beer?

18. LSDiesel - July 29, 2009 10:57 AM

@9, Go shag a dog you dumb fart weasel.
@14, I know. I've cleaned it up many a time.
@15, I've never known a 'puke in my mouth' to EVER be a bad thing.

@ Whoever is after me, you owe me a game of naked finger tag.

Ah, the perks of a sleazy tenant... I'm glad that you feel my pain, brother. Lots of times, trust me, you have no idea.

23. ham the other light red meat - July 29, 2009 11:16 AM

i have had a gas powered vortex cannon for years and it is much more powerful albeit smellier, whiter, and hairier. in fact i am sitting on it now.

......the cannon is my butt

24. Gordon "Fücking" Shumway - July 29, 2009 11:16 AM

@22

Take down the language filter.

25. Pew³ - July 29, 2009 11:20 AM

It's Mega Maid. She's gone from suck to blow!

28. james - July 29, 2009 11:24 AM

Hey Gordon!?! What are you doing Sunday, Dec 20th?

GFS - Did you notice that the people requesting censorship got what they wanted, and left? Now we're left with the damned filter and they're off policing someone else's actions.

DOUCHEBAGS AWAY!

34. nadalo日本にいます。MUSIC IS MY BITCH - July 29, 2009 11:31 AM

awesome this will be perfect for unwanted guests that ring the doorbell

35. Erik - July 29, 2009 11:37 AM

That was lame. If they actually built a brick wall with real mortar, instead of just laying bricks on top of each other, I don't see any way that would have blown that down. I mean, it just barely pushed over that top section of bricks as it was.

36. Gordon "Fücking" Shumway - July 29, 2009 11:49 AM

@Pew Cubed

The same thing I've been doing for the last three seasons. Watching my team get their asses handed to them on national television. If you're going to be at the game, make sure you have a sign that reads, "GFS - FTMFW!"

37. STOMPY (is still banging Pikachu) - July 29, 2009 11:50 AM

Sorry, I stopped reading after I read the thorogood reference. Nicely done GFS, now get a haircut and get a real job.

38. Flyboy - July 29, 2009 11:53 AM

Look mate, I don't know what kind of house you live in but my house has four walls. Not one poorly constructed unsealed brick fence.

39. Pew³ - July 29, 2009 11:58 AM

@Gordon. I've got season tickets. I'll be there. I'll even make a sign. Although since it will only make sense to three people watching, it may not make it on TV.

Maybe I'll put an Ocho Cinco reference on it.

40. Gordon "Fücking" Shumway - July 29, 2009 12:09 PM

@Pew Cubed

According to Maddon NFL, your stadium serves fish tacos. Is this true? Do they go well with $10 Budweisers?

41. Pew³ - July 29, 2009 1:36 PM

@Gordon, yes I'm sure there's a few places in the stadium to get fish tacos. Yummy. Is Budwieser back down to $10.00? Good deal, maybe I can afford to have three a game this season!

42. STOMPY (is still banging Pikachu) - July 29, 2009 1:48 PM

@Pew Pew Pew
That budwieser better come with a handjob for that price...

43. EinoJ - July 29, 2009 1:49 PM

That has to be the coolest thing I have ever seen

44. bringerzl - July 29, 2009 2:29 PM

I'm pretty sure those things weren't built to code...

45. mtk - July 29, 2009 3:27 PM

This is kind of like an AirZooka, a cheap plastic toy which you can get for less than $15. It won't knock down a house, but I know it will blow out a candle from 20 feet because I've done it. I have not yet tried it out on with women's skirts or older gentlemen's toupees but I imagine there would be a pretty decent success rate there too.

46. assbastard - July 29, 2009 6:38 PM

This reminds me of a time a guy went into my local petrol station forecourt at 3am, put 20 pence in the tyre pressure machine, drop his trousers and inserted the nozzle up his ass. CCTV footage shows him pressing the button, only to blow his stomach out all over the wall. Now that's what I call "natural selection". BAM!

47. FattyBoomBatty - July 29, 2009 7:12 PM

I want this thing to fellate me.

48. KDUBBLL - July 29, 2009 9:17 PM

Ohhh geez... Just wait till the male gay community gets a hold of one of these things, they're gonna be firing these things up their butts all night long.

THANK YOU BBC!!!!!!!

52. geekatron8 - August 1, 2009 11:03 AM

This reminds me of a German secret weapon from WWII:
