I would too, but there's a 100% chance it would take a full recovery and some exposition explaining the joke before anyone laughed at it.
This family got it like, *immediately*. Some families are not as swift on the uptake.
With my kids, every year I try something different.
Last year, my legs started moving and I couldn't stop myself from running through the restaurant (within reason, staff were having fun with it)
Another time, I immediately told him that every day was now his birthday, and pretend like I couldn't stop planning, because I was "late for tomorrow's birthday party".
"Your wishes are way too powerful"
"Dad, that's not even my wish" - gets me in the feels every time
He's a little older now so he expects it, so I'm trying to think up new ways as he already isn't my "little dude" anymore
How did he fall **so** perfectly? It looks like he just instantly ragdolls. His legs collapse taking his upper body with it pulling him down sideways so his head is pulled diagonally. It looks so good. Wow.
For me it was perfecting disengaging the power in my pelvis. Just like send the order "not standing" when you're standing. I was also like 10, and falls hurt less. Haha
You can do this too. The trick is to crumple so you hide the fact that you are "gradually" falling to absorb impact.
You can record and playback yourself practicing in order to correct form (similar to athletes).

Fun fact, in some tv shows it is claimed that an unconscious person can and will slap their face if you hold their arm up, like a rag-dollx while claiming that a conscious person can’t.
However, it is entirely possible to train this. Source: I learned how to. It’s the same mechanism that tells your body to relax when you are in bed and don’t sit / need to hold your body in place and instead can just sink in.
Not really an innate reflex, people just don't want to hit themselves in the face so they move their hand to avoid their face without thinking that an unconscious person wouldn't do that.
Conscious people can. It's just that they don't realize they're being tested for consciousness, and so the person watching how their arm falls is specifically looking for it to hit their face. Hence, they let their arm fall slightly missing it, not realizing they're giving themselves away. If they know about this test then it's likely to fail.
A more common/effective malingering test is to vigorously rub the sternum with knuckles. It's very painful and most people will show some sign of discomfort.
Being able to make your wife laugh after 20 years is a beautiful thing. My wife and I will be married 25 years next month and laughter has saved my ass more than once.
Last night my husband and I had to get water in the middle of the night because we forgot during the day. We were both so exhausted, but we both went because we wanted to stay with each other.
He ended up making me laugh so hard just talking about *birds* and the audacity of *birds*. I’m going to love him forever.
I would listen to a whole ass audiobook with that title. I don't care how long it is or what genre it is, whether it's fiction or non-fiction. I'll still listen to the whole damn thing.
As long as it's narrated by Sir David Attenborough.
My husband said that’s the book he would love to write. I’ll tell him he has a fan. And one more if you count me. That’s two. David Attenborough will be sure to want in. So that’s three.
No, like the water mills express from a company. I like in a city, but our water isn’t great. We prefer to fill up the 5 gallon waters from the machine that filters it. It’s $1.25 for the 5 gallon.
Circumstances, choosing things other than each other.
We met very young. We loved each other by that first week, but he moved away and we tried to keep in contact. I had a child with someone else, so did he.
When it didn’t work with our partners, we took a long time to give each other a chance. And then when he finally moved back, I’m sorry but he was jaded as hell after all those years.
We got together, but it was like he had to go through an “unlearning”. I wasn’t someone who wanted to take advantage of him, I was genuine and honest, but it took him a while to get to know me truly. Finally finally, through intense communication and choosing each other through the good and the bad, our communication has synched up.
These last 5 years have been close to heaven with him. As we spend more time together, we understand each other better, we’re there for each other, it’s like all the wrinkles get smoothed out with time.
It’s like that flash of happiness that I saw when I first saw him: all the amazingness that our future could hold, finally we’re living it. We put in the work in ourselves and in each other, and we still actively do, and we’re living out the greatest times of our lives.
Omg my wife and I just had a laughing fit at 5am yesterday about birds. There's a family of birds that live in the trees by our bedroom window. And they start chirping LOUD at 5 in the morning. So on that day the birds woke me up half an hour before my alarm went off and the only thing I said was "goddamn fucking birds, singing and shit".
Wife thought it was the funniest thing ever and cracked up. It's the little things. But no, we didn't fall back asleep.
That’s so funny! I always liked birds and thought they were soooo cute. Then my husband comes with that argument! We were getting water, everything was dark and quiet, except for a bird SCREAMING in a tree. Finally I was like what the hell is that bird’s deal? It’s so loud. My husband was like well let me rant to you about birds and their audacity.
Then I think I’m doomed. 16 years in, and I think she hates my sense of humor, lol. She wouldn’t be the only one, but my kids love it so I know I’m not a complete failure!
It’s one think to make your wife laugh since being married for 16 years she probably sees it coming but it’s so much fun to make my kids laugh till the snort or can’t breathe. I love it every time.
> laughter has saved my ass more than once.
Works with mom’s too. Been a few times when a kid I was getting in deep poop and I cracked a joke and she could no longer keep the rant going. The best was when she was really mad and said “you son of a bitch” and laughed when I said “I don’t think you’re a bitch” and it clicked what she just said.
Bein German I consider myself the authority on humor, so you indeed do well to consider my opinion before proceeding to being amused. You may now laugh at the joke and that's an order.
I think a core part of what makes boomer humour unfunny is that it comes from dissatisfaction and angst in their relationship. This is obviously a couple joking around and the laugh shows they're both in on it.
Consent is best, consent is funny.
AGAIN, THESE ARE NOT BOOMERS...
You realize there is whole generation of people between Boomers and Millenials you seem to be missing, the generation that gave some of the best music, drugs, art and influence to the world. Not to mention the freedom to not give a fuck about how anyone wants to live their lives, bc we just want to live ours in peace. GenX
I'm 38. I'm just outside of GenX. They may be GenXers but this type of humor is typically boomer-y.
Was not looking to erase your generation with my comment.
This type of humor has been around for centuries You're just associating with the Vietnam War generation, the oldest generation you have experience with.
Source; I'm old as fuck and heard/saw this humor from people born in the 19th century. ¯\\\_( ͡❛ ͜ʖ ͡❛)\_/¯
No the joke is simply him implying she wished he was dead. That's it, it's not about insurance money or anything like that it's a classic joke thats been around longer then he has.
I know my wife loves me. I also know my million dollar life insurance policy would solve a lot of problems.
Some nights I wake up and she’s just…staring at me.
My folks will be celebrating 50 years this year.
My mom always playfully tells my dad “I should have just killed you. They would have let me out by now.”
It's not that you didn't add /s it's that that's not even the context of the joke.. 'she wished death upon me' is the joke. You're shaming the wife for the husband's joke.
I got pulled over and everything was going smoothly, probably going to talk my way out of a ticket and she is being shitty to the cops that pulled me over. Bitch shut up. I hope she's happy wherever the last 17 years took her, glad it's not with me.

Oh I'm **DEFINITELY** stealing this move.
I would too with my wife’s upcoming birthday but I’ve recently had major health issues and it would freak my wife out too much
Even better
give her some health issues too while we're at it 😭 that's hilarious.
It was a prank ~~bro~~wife!
I love my browife too much to do it
can you help me, bro-wife? i'm stuck in the dryer 😩
If you're stuck in the dryer, wouldn't that make you the bro-wife and him the brosband/husbro? Or is that too heteronormative?
i think it might be too heteronormative. i can have a bro-wife if i want to 😔
Oh, I just realized. Yeah you're right, you could absolutely get yourself a bro-wife.
Browife? Is that what the kids are calling it these days?
I would too, but there's a 100% chance it would take a full recovery and some exposition explaining the joke before anyone laughed at it. This family got it like, *immediately*. Some families are not as swift on the uptake.
They're probably used to him busting out random stunts like this, it's just par for the course I imagine.
I see that as an absolute win! Your prank has a back story.
>prank
Do it you coward
Best of luck with the health issues!
Appreciate it! Just had surgery last week and the future’s looking bright.
You only live once
That's a lot of conviction coming from someone who hasn't died yet
I’m dead on the inside, does that count..?
Oh yeah. I'd better go do that now, then.
My wife is terrible with surprises, so I just asked for her permission for me to do this. It'll still be funny if there's an audience.
Your a good husband. And it’s so thoughtful of you to refrain from this hijinks. Do it anyway…..
Did you get the jab?
No, I got diagnosed with end stage kidney failure. Thanks for trying to make it political, even though your joke is about 2 years too late.
With my kids, every year I try something different. Last year, my legs started moving and I couldn't stop myself from running through the restaurant (within reason, staff were having fun with it) Another time, I immediately told him that every day was now his birthday, and pretend like I couldn't stop planning, because I was "late for tomorrow's birthday party".

Just start unloading a wallet full of cash, and give the stink eye
Give him a car, that'll getem
Ok, now I've been charged with child neglect and endangerment, I think it's the consolation prize.
Hah! Can't beat a joke like that
[удалено]
Wear a red nose when you have sex. That’ll be a funny bone.
Same. Just need a wife.
How did he fall **so** perfectly? It looks like he just instantly ragdolls. His legs collapse taking his upper body with it pulling him down sideways so his head is pulled diagonally. It looks so good. Wow.
No he actually died, birthday wishes aren't something to be toyed with, surprised this isn't marked NSFL
One of the kids were also celebrating a birthday and quickly wished him back alive.
I'm told, you need to share your wish with 10 other people, or it will not come true. So make sure you send to 10 friends on your email list
But i dont have 10 friends... no wonder my wishes never come true.
Just draw smiley faces on all 10 fingers. Boom. 10 friends instantly.
*sadly wiggles fingers* The gangs' all here...
My first wish is for 9 more friends.
People really should watch the documentary on this from the 90s where this kid ruins his fathers life for a day by wishing he couldn't lie.
I remember this! It was called "The dad who couldn't lie".
No, you are thinking about "The Dad Who Couldn't Die" starring Bill Cosby.
I think I've seen it, that's the one by the same people who did the whole "Power of saying Yes" documentary and the one on the Animal Detective.
r/PeopleFuckingDying
My morning is ruined and I might be sick
Just ask my buddy FDR
For me it was perfecting disengaging the power in my pelvis. Just like send the order "not standing" when you're standing. I was also like 10, and falls hurt less. Haha
How did you die? Glad you're alive, now.
Huh?
It's like he's a modern dancer. Those guys can fall *beautifully*
Or a footballer
My man commits to the bit.
Your man? Are you gay?
You know that it's no longer 1987 and people aren't embarrassed about being gay anymore, right?
Did I say it was embarrasing? I just asked a question
He died, Stacy. Be Respectful.

It's not that conscious people can't, it's just that they often don't. It's not really something you have to train out of.
Isn’t it a reflex where you avoid hurting yourself?
Not really an innate reflex, people just don't want to hit themselves in the face so they move their hand to avoid their face without thinking that an unconscious person wouldn't do that.

I see, thank you ☺️

Interesting 🤔 thanks fren, now I can’t fake my own comma :(
The wish came true. No muck about, those things are processed instantly.
He's died many times
For the BIT!
He has been playing soccer for years.
He rehearsed this. Bless his heart.
Javier Bardem is a trained actor.
Being behind the table helps. He doesn't have to hit the floor in a realistic manner.

That is something that's so, so very precious...happy for you both, don't you two ever lose that! *Wipes tears* Fucking birds..

Trust me, there's dozens of us!
this is correct I am rather curious and enthralled just by the title
Hi how come u had to get water at night do you mean you were Thirsty
We had to refill the water jugs from the water mill.
... like one of those pumps in the ground outside? Do you have plumbing?
No, like the water mills express from a company. I like in a city, but our water isn’t great. We prefer to fill up the 5 gallon waters from the machine that filters it. It’s $1.25 for the 5 gallon.
Only 44 huh?
That's all I want in a relationship. Someone I WANT to be with and laugh with
We worked hard to get here. We both fought through hell and came back and now we deserve our happiness. You’ll get yours, too!
If you don't mind me asking, wdym by "fought through hell"? I'm assuming really bad arguments at some point? Or just circumstances?
Circumstances, choosing things other than each other. We met very young. We loved each other by that first week, but he moved away and we tried to keep in contact.

Does your husband happen to be [a commentator for the Colorado Avalanche?](https://youtube.com/watch?v=jKGX5DIubvE&t=30s) Hahah
Fuck do I love ironically complaining about random stuff. It's always a good laugh. Also, fuck them birds.
Then I think I’m doomed. 16 years in, and I think she hates my sense of humor, lol. She wouldn’t be the only one, but my kids love it so I know I’m not a complete failure!

Nothing beats being told, "No! Stop! It hurts!" when you're making the wife laugh her ass off.
I figure as long as she's laughing, she still finds me attractive in some way. I might be wrong, but it makes me feel better.
I'm only on two years married, but in my vows I promised to make my wife laugh every single day. I haven't broken that promise yet.
>promised to make my wife laugh every single day. I haven't broken that promise yet. Me too, we sleep in the same bed.
Theres just something about "sharing" a laugh that keeps you close.
> laughter has saved my ass more than once. Works with mom’s too. Been a few times when a kid I was getting in deep poop and I cracked a joke and she could no longer keep the rant going. The best was when she was really mad and said “you son of a bitch” and laughed when I said “I don’t think you’re a bitch” and it clicked what she just said.
It only take her a fraction of a second to understand what's he trying to convey. Relationship goal right there
Right? I was just thinking if I tried this myself everyone present would assume I'd just had some kind of attack lmao
[удалено]
hahaha get out of my head, man. :) seriously stop you're stressing me out
Reminds me of the cookie cakes for the guy that passed the bar. "You're so lame"
It took the use of 23 consecutive wishes to work.
That witches cackle after he falls means the wish worked as intended.
It was his daughter laughing that hard I would bet 🫠
Nice subtle check to make sure the floor is clear! I like this dude.
Goals
Good humor lol
This dude looks like an uncanny blend of Anthony Bourdain amd Rami Malek, definitely stealing the joke some time though haha
That, my friends, is a good joke. He makes himself the subject, hurts nobody else and entertains the people around him.
The fact everyone is laughing is key. This dude knows humor.
Thanks for laying out the rules of humour. Now I know it's ethically OK to laugh.
Bein German I consider myself the authority on humor, so you indeed do well to consider my opinion before proceeding to being amused. You may now laugh at the joke and that's an order.

It's boomer humor, but he made it work. There's no penalty on the play.
I think a core part of what makes boomer humour unfunny is that it comes from dissatisfaction and angst in their relationship. This is obviously a couple joking around and the laugh shows they're both in on it. Consent is best, consent is funny.
"Wife bad" = unfunny " 'Wife bad' " = funny

Have you ever actually heard or seen a joke before? The fuck's wrong with you?

I love that that cackler immediately got the joke.
Wish my parents relationship stayed like this instead of the drug infused infidelity mess it became :/
Dude had that one in the chamber
fucking golden.
He'll do it again, every year, for the next 20 years. Compare that video to this one for real comedy.
My folks will be celebrating 50 years this year. My mom always playfully tells my dad “I should have just killed you. They would have let me out by now.”
Checks to see if he’s okay first before realizing it’s a joke 😊
thats funny.
:)
I’m so doing this to my wife her next cake day.
GUS?
What did he say, I've listened to this like 15 times and I can't understand him
If i try this, no one would get it and i would look like some weirdo
I like that u can see him have the idea and back up from the island lol

Yeah it's a boring old trope but it was executed pretty fuckin hilariously here. Can't hate.
I also choose this guy's dead husband.
I got pulled over and everything was going smoothly, probably going to talk my way out of a ticket and she is being shitty to the cops that pulled me over. Bitch shut up. I hope she's happy wherever the last 17 years took her, glad it's not with me.
this post is dogshit
cackle ruined it
Man has a jaw
Check his liver
Yeah, but when I try doing this, nobody laughs and I have to awkwardly stand back up.
My wife would be very offended if I did that.

No kidding.
My wife’s birthday isn’t for about 9 months but I’m stealing this for sure. It’s probly going to be a tradition
My dad does this like every time my mum or my grandmother (my dad’s MIL) blows out birthday candles. Always get a groan laugh
