Jul 28 2010Awesome: Flamethrower Vs. Fire Extinguisher
This is an amazingly well-shot music video of a flamethrower vs. fire extinguisher battle for the Dancing Pigeon's 'Ritalin'. God, I can't even count how many of those things I put up my nose in college. ZERO -- MY BODY IS A TEMPLE! Of doom. Back me up, Indiana. Anyway, this shit looks straight out of one of my nightmares, complete with inbred protagonists and slow-motion effects. Needless to say, I loved (myself to) every second of it.
Hit it for the very worthwhile video.
Thanks to Jason, who can summon a rainstorm with a special dance because the man has magical feet.

Needs more actual footage of the fire/extinguisher interaction and less hillbilly closeup.
11. Shelbon - July 28, 2010 5:57 PM
Pointless but neat. I would like to see an complete battle with that fighting style.
12. Spoon - July 28, 2010 6:00 PM
That guy is to scary, even more scary then me. I would hate to be stranded and this guy pull up. "You got a PRETTY MOUTH!" "Squeal like a PIG!"

Nothing will ever trump Apex Twin's "gnomes versus vampires" music video theme. Nothing.

Dude the old man in the car is totally orgasming over this whole ordeal.

20. WMC - July 28, 2010 7:55 PM
Does that cymbal clapping monkey freak anyone else out like it does me? F*ckin Merlin and his Shop of Mystical Wonders. Now I have to counter act the effect by watching MST3K's run down of the movie.
21. J - July 28, 2010 8:04 PM
After watching that i had this sudden urge to go brush my teeth.....twice.....
22. wes g - July 28, 2010 9:10 PM
@15 huh? what are you talking about? link?
it's Aphex Twin, too. unless i'm missing some really vague joke here..
23. wes g - July 28, 2010 9:12 PM
@15 but, you did help me find a song called Vampires by Mr. Gnome, which is a kinda cool song. thanks.

Is this what happens when a tornado meets a volcano?
25. John C - July 28, 2010 9:56 PM
What's The Name Of The Song?
26. Daisy - July 28, 2010 10:22 PM
Not fake.
27. Storm - July 28, 2010 10:42 PM
That's awesome but they shouldn't have made it all slow-motion.
28. Calyster the add hater - July 28, 2010 10:47 PM
omg ... THAT is awesome thx GW
29. cabbo - July 28, 2010 10:51 PM
That wasn't very good, I thought. Musically or visually. But whatever...
30. CrazyDoc - July 28, 2010 11:12 PM
@11
As a certified redneck/hillbilly/countryboy, how dare you say a flamethrower is pointless, do you know what you could do with that???? the joker guy wouldnt have had to buy fuel and pour it, and he would look cool burning something down, tisk tisk flamethrowers have never been pointless.
never bring a knife to a flamethrower fight
31. the heat - July 28, 2010 11:48 PM
@22, 23
I would guess he's talking about the "Come to Daddy" music video.
Which is actually a lot less disturbing than "Windowlicker".
32. anonymous - July 29, 2010 12:01 AM
Hell Yeah！ Though their faces are so twisted...but the flame thrower is freaking awesome!
33. Gomez Man - July 29, 2010 12:40 AM
Freakig Flamer thower vs Fire Extinguisher...This reminds me of Harry Dresden. Very worth while books that just got better and better!
34. bob - July 29, 2010 1:12 AM
They should have shown a full speed version at the end
35. tn11 - July 29, 2010 1:32 AM
was that old man stroking? as in the medical condition.... *achem*
one eye was open all the way and the other wasn't... or bell's palsy?
nice truck tho
36. just a thought - July 29, 2010 2:33 AM
Looking forward to seeing this on Mythbusters!
37. The Loler - July 29, 2010 3:50 AM
whaaay to far apart. And with those faces they shoud have stood closer and have a jet stream pee fight.
38. Lauralee - July 29, 2010 4:21 AM
Hey, um, does anyone know the name of the song?
39. Juniper - July 29, 2010 4:28 AM
@20 Cymbal clapping monkeys ARE scary. I think it might have something to do with being a kid of the "Are You Afraid of the Dark?" generation.
Also, this video re-affirmed my fear of inbred hicks.
40. Octane - July 29, 2010 6:03 AM
Spoon: I busted up. Nice.
Video is really WTF though.

Its like sex... of the elements!
44. paul. - July 29, 2010 9:26 AM
@29
I'll bet its comments like this that make you a social pariah.
45. Crazy - July 29, 2010 10:53 AM
Well if it's vs, neither can win. THat was probably illegal in some way. But I got bored when they showed the dog, and the closeups. The actual flame throwing bit was too short! BUt still, GREAT video, by smart (or not so much) people.
46. Tin - July 29, 2010 11:29 AM
That was so epic hahaha, slow motion was hilarious. The guy with the flamethrower looked like one of my friends getting wedgied, when he was yelling.
47. Skellyton - July 29, 2010 11:33 AM
This definitely reminds me of Zombies Ate My Neighbors.
48. Kathryn - July 29, 2010 11:38 AM
The song is called Ritalin. Read the post more carefully. :-)
49. ted - July 30, 2010 4:56 PM
what crap. 3 minutes i'll never get back.
the slow motion is so annoying.
what a waste
50. Demi - August 2, 2010 10:33 PM
The name sounds funny Ritalin, like a presciption drug, as in don't give this to your inbred hillbilly kids or they'll do shit like this... or something?
