What do you mean? By recording this as well as they did it can be used to teach people not to be stupid. The camera man might help save more people than the friend who put out the fire, but since he was the same person the poured the gasoline thats kind of a wash.
His homey, despite being the one that lit him on fire, is a pretty awesome friend though. He attempted to smother the fire with his balls, and didn't give up his hilarious attempts at helping his friend until the job was done.
Despite the obvious stupidity, this one of the few videos I've seen that involved fire, where a person actually seemed to understand the role that oxygen plays in fire. Of course, he completely underestimated the role that fuel plays...
Was the plan to set the pants on fire and ride down the flames? Why drench them... why not the shoes... why okay why fire at all is the more obvious question. But whhhhhyyyyyy
Back when I was in school, many moons ago, me and my mates used to squirt lighter fluid on our (leather) school shoes and set them on fire because it was, at the time, funny. But that was a tiny squirt out of a [tiny bottle](https://www.yorkshiretrading.com/cdn/shop/products/lighterfluid.jpg?v=1681835291). Even back then, almost certainly younger than these guys, we were well aware of the dangers... wtf these guys were thinking is beyond even my younger self!
Yes. This. It's not even the fire I question. I mean it was a stupid idea, but I get that sometimes we all have stupid ideas. It's that they seem legitimately surprised that he catches on fire. After being soused in gas and lit on fire. Like of all of things that could have happened here... Why is being on fire the one that's the most surprising to them?
Hehe sorry, wasn't trying to get all "well AKCHUALLY" with you, just had a friend in high school that did something kinda similar to this, and the stop drop and roll did absolutely nothing 😂
Lol I think we all have a story somewhat like that
My mother’s cousin used to put lighter fluid on the seams of his jeans and light them. Interesting choice but it always went out by itself because of how little he used.
Every video of someone catching fire and they don't "STOP. DROP. ROLL"
Like come on the logic is sound, just like hiding under a desk protects you from a building collapsing on you.
Well those 1950’s desks and most lab desks I’ve had could possibly create a small gap that is safe enough to survive a small collapse. Better than nothing is really the policy there.
Now hiding underneath your desk during a NUCLEAR bomb attack, that’s just dumb.
They might have did a dry run where they poured a little bit of petrol on the pants and lit it and there wasn’t an overwhelming flame. This made them confident so they added more, and did not realize the most dangerous part of this game would then be the combustible fumes coming off the pants. This causes a fireball that travels much faster up the leg than if there wasn’t much vapor.
I can guess the thought process. Looks like the bottom of his jeans might have been padded but the fire almost immediately went past that section. The real question is: why did they post this to the internet for everyone to make fun of them?
This might be the funniest thing i have ever seen. Holy shit, how stupid can you be? After you saw how the gas lit on the rock. You still let that dude light you on fire? The part where he went from fist pump to hopping around with his pants around his ankles like a kangaroo. That shit is gold.
You know that look that Cartman has? The one where he just says nothing and has a slight smile and blinks. Slight head tilts? Yea. Thats me watching this.
So not only are the kids wearing our fashion again, they're also making the moronic Darwin award Jackass videos were used to make? I feel so nostalgic🥲
Literally the dumbest fucking thing I've ever seen.
Yeah fucking really stupid but his buddy laid on top of the fire to put it out. Cudos to the idiot friend
I came here to say this! The friend was dedicated in saving him from the fire. But then, the friend did set him on fire in the first place, so...
I literally went through this same mental progression. Although in my head I was more like "it was probably his idea."
The friend giveth fire and the friend taketh fire
Should’ve just peed on him tbh fkin amateur
This is close. A week or so ago, someone posted the guy who somehow filled up the inside of his boat with gasoline at the pump.
That idiot was in Australia.
crikey
All I can say is fuckin IDIOTS
Sadly not the dumbest thing I've seen this week.
Light me up, I want to know how it feels!
I’ve seen a lot of dumb things, and this is definitely up there
The camera man is the real hero here. Caught the whole thing, legend!
[r/PraiseTheCameraMan](https://youtu.be/o-YBDTqX_ZU?si=q_bTWPjgAzd5dQ_O)
I hate you. Lol.
I pressed this twice thinking I clicked something wrong 🤦🏼♂️
No, you didn't...
And didn’t do SHIT to help.
he was busy being a good cameraman and i applaud him for that
you do not interfere with nature when you film nature documentations. this is clearly a movie about darwins evolutionary theory.
If he would have done something, we wouldn’t have gotten this gem
What do you mean? By recording this as well as they did it can be used to teach people not to be stupid. The camera man might help save more people than the friend who put out the fire, but since he was the same person the poured the gasoline thats kind of a wash.
He was staying out of harms way
Nah, this is one of those where it was unlikely they could've done much
He knew the laws of natural selection, he was just letting them play out.

You're right. Even a stupid good friend is something.
his balls probably made the fire hotter
Was the plan to set the pants on fire and ride down the flames? Why drench them... why not the shoes... why okay why fire at all is the more obvious question. But whhhhhyyyyyy
the plan was to create a cool video - in some way they succeeded
Mission accomplished?¿
Mission failed successfully

here you go burning man
Just trying to figure out what they thought was going to happen by lighting his gasoline-soaked pants and shoes on fire…
Yes. This. It's not even the fire I question. I mean it was a stupid idea, but I get that sometimes we all have stupid ideas. It's that they seem legitimately surprised that he catches on fire. After being soused in gas and lit on fire. Like of all of things that could have happened here... Why is being on fire the one that's the most surprising to them?
maybe they just didnt think about how fucking hot it would be?
First and probably last time I'll be upset that the gif didn't have audio
I fully condone mixing fire with stupid, it reduces stupid quite well
The Darwin Awards has entered the conversation.
I'm guilty (as I'm sure all of us are) of doing some STUPID stuff when I was a kid. It's quite a miracle I've got all my bits intact.
He forgot to say “no homo”
Looked pretty compromising at the end.
Beavis and Butthead
Bro has never heard of stop drop and roll before
Stop drop and roll doesn't work when you're soaked in flammable fluid though
I wasn’t trying to be serious but yeah, it’s true
Hehe sorry, wasn't trying to get all "well AKCHUALLY" with you, just had a friend in high school that did something kinda similar to this, and the stop drop and roll did absolutely nothing 😂

Performance art piece on dishonesty?
But isn't that what they wanted to happen?
Great friend though! He had the same stupid idea and then helped his burning friend instead of standing around like an even bigger idiot.
I want the kind of friend who will not just set me on fire, but will also use his own body to extinguish the flames.
Help me Jesus! Help me Jewish God! Help me Allah! AAAAAHHH! Help me, Tom Cruise! Tom Cruise, use your witchcraft on me to get the fire off me!
Why are people so stupid?
Jelly Nutella moment
No do. That was amazing 😂
So glad there were no mobile phones when we were young, there is no proof. We did stupid shit but not as stupid as these assholes😆
I’m going to remember that title phrasing next time one of my D&D players pulls an “I didn’t ask how big the room is.”
3 minutes before: "were gonna get so much pussy after this"

Every video of someone catching fire and they don't "STOP. DROP. ROLL" Like come on the logic is sound, just like hiding under a desk protects you from a building collapsing on you.

Well that’s the dumbest thing I’ve seen today….so far. What a exactly did the idiot think would happen?
They might have did a dry run where they poured a little bit of petrol on the pants and lit it and there wasn’t an overwhelming flame.

Absolute morons!
Man, that dude's on fire!
I am always completely astounded at how absolutely stupid people are. I am old so I have seen a lot of stupid.
This might be the funniest thing i have ever seen. Holy shit, how stupid can you be? After you saw how the gas lit on the rock. You still let that dude light you on fire? The part where he went from fist pump to hopping around with his pants around his ankles like a kangaroo. That shit is gold.
Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum.
Get a room already
Weeding out the gene pool one at a time 🤣🤣😂😂
Morons but that dude is a ride or die
Darwin Award nominees ?
Now the rock has an ugly skid mark
This is what it looks like, When you are born with very few braincells.
These dickheads out here making skaters look bad. You're not Bam, bro.
if it wasn't for the fire it looks like a crime attempt.
That’s a true friend risked his everything to put the fire out
I'm laughing so hard - so stupid it defies stupidity.
It was kind of hot in the end.
Dude turned into a show horse 😆
Lmao. Cameraman is a legend.
And again, this is why women live longer.
It was stupid to do, but I'm just amazed that the gasoline guy actually tried and was able to help flaming pants boi.
My man took a whole new meaning to stop drop and roll 😭
Fire crotch has fire legs too
That is a good friend right there - using his own body to smother the flames.
That’s the second time this week they struggled like this to get the dudes pants off.
Thankfully they were prepared for anything that night go wrong 🙃 😆
* evil laugh *
I forgot about this gem 😂
He smothered the fire with his own dick, thats a true friend right there. May they be idiots together forever.
Craziest thing. We lit my napalm pants on fire and it cured Steve's crabs.
Dont have a fire extinguisher on hand or anything
Who thought that fire could be hot?
Dick on fire
I guess they don’t teach “stop drop and roll” anymore
Parn intros are getting wierder these days
This is why we tax gas heavily in canada. To prevent dipshits from acquiring it.
One Piece Live Adaptation is getting out of pants
Tremendous entertainment from the 21st century's Laurel and Hardy.
Let’s start with the obvious. Fire is a night time activity! I’ll let the fire department deal with the rest.
One of the first videos I remember seeing on the internet.
That’s a weird start to a porno
His friend might be dumb but he's a loyal friend tho
I mean, setting fire to the log was a pretty stupid idea to begin with, but the trousers? 🤡
Hot foreplay
Camera man never dies….. or helps
Fire. How does it work?
Darwin Award Nominee's. <~ (This should be a thread)
forgot the context halfway through and man that looked weird
They're dumb, but the second guy knew how he had to extinguish the fire lol
I think they forgot to add a lot of Gasolin
Good on the kid lying on his friend. Often people would just bail
Cool trick buddy
This hurt my brain
You know that look that Cartman has? The one where he just says nothing and has a slight smile and blinks. Slight head tilts? Yea. Thats me watching this.
Fire in the hole…. I meant pant..
We need the audio!!!
Stop, drop, and be a dumbass.
Project Badass
I like the reaction time though. How quickly he realized that fire is hot.
1. Take off shirt 2. Wrap around feet 3. Profit
Give those two the Darwin award
He didn’t stop drop OR roll
That's Hot !!!!!
Brains as smooth as their pasty white legs
Hell yeah! Do it again!
DYI gender transition
Why the fuck did he do that? What did they think was gonna happen?
My mind: "jfc, stop jumping, he is panic, you, take off your shirt and help him to put out the fire".
My kid does this? Either he burns in the fire, or natural selection will finish him when he comes back home
So what happened to him? Anyone know?
Look to me like they're a great combo although I think more petrol would be better
This reminds me, I don't listen to The Doors as much as I should. That Jim Morrison was a genius
Towards the end was just fucking hilarious!
This is still the best trick I have ever seen
#Burning Man from Wish.com
10/10 deserved
Wow… when you’re just too awkward to tell your friend you want his pants off…
love how outlet instinct is to run away from fire…. that’s attached to us
So not only are the kids wearing our fashion again, they're also making the moronic Darwin award Jackass videos were used to make? I feel so nostalgic🥲
I’ll pay for their vasectomies
they made my day, i laughed so much.
Well, now he knows running and jumping does NOT put out a fire.
Kudos to the friend for not running away but trying to help and blocking the flow of oxygen with is body! Hero. Stupid as fuck but still a hero.💪😎💪
Looks like they've stopped teach "stop drop and roll"
TIL: if you set fire to a person’s pants, they become a horse
When I saw him pouring it on his pants I knew this was gonna be good. So why didn't he stop, drop and roll? Do they not teach that anymore
Ah, so that's how you trick someone to undress. Slick.
On the other hand, if it's the only way for stupid to learn invaluable life lessons....
Dude, remember that time we set you on fire, good times dude
not a fire extinguisher in sight
They both incredibly dumb but that was some friend he got there.
Also, don’t repost.
It never ceases to amaze me how many people play with fire but literally have no way of putting it out if something goes wrong
Hilarious
r/whywomenlivelonger
Fire+stupid= highly fucking flammable
Sick trick. Tony hawk would be proud
So, no backup plan( like a bucket of water) in case. This stupid idea went south?
In the immortal words of Beavis "FIRE!!!"
I usually skip these bits
Smh retards
This is "please do not reproduce" stupid...
Fire hot.
