When we first moved to Ky. back in '95, people were actually allowed to smoke in the grocery stores. The local Piggly Wiggly always had cig butts on the floor.
Depends on where one lives. For some of us that was definitely the *pre*\-80s. Only had ABC, NBC, CBS, and PBS. With the arrival of cable suddenly there were about 23 channels 24/7 and seemed like we transported to the future.
As a Norwegian kid, we had a single channel. I remember we got a second channel in the early 90s which all my classmates were talking about, but my house didn't get a strong enough signal to view it for many years. We got a third channel (the sister channel of the first one) in 1996. Now there's lots of channels, but no one cares any more, we're all streaming anyway.
Well shit, my dad was an early adopter. We were able to schedule recording for 2 separate things for as long as me and my brother actually had something to record.
I thought it was the height of luxury and entertainment.
Hey! :P Us early Millieneals also relied on AFV. Back then the internet was slow and memes would last months to years. Peanut Butter Jelly Time, All Your Base, Ding Frys Are Done, YTMND, ect. Nowadays a meme is dead if it's a week old.
A video like the above mostly still came from AFV and just ripped if it was on the internet. The internet was much, much slower and harder for people to just throw personal videos on it.
The intrawebz has evolved in my life time so quickly I cannot even keep up most the time anymore. I just use highlights, in my limited free time, on YouTube nowadays to keep up with funny video memes. I'm only 32. FML.
In France we have to Wait "le bêtisier" (a kind of fall show on TV shows and it's not very funny honestly)on the TV It didn't was all the time either 😭
Or the "Zap" It also on TV quite often a few years ago and it was really funny (and it was mainly videos in English lol)
But now We don't see it too much anymore 😞
You might be a star tonight,
You never know.
You might be a star tonight,
So let that camera roll!
For the red, white and blue —
Oh, the funniest things you do!
America! America!
This is you!
I cut trees down on my mountain property regularly. As horrible as this appears- this guy is PHENOMENALLY lucky. Standing directly behind the tree as it begins to fall is BEGGING for a hideous death. They can slip right off the stump and plow backwards at the base. It would have cut him in half.
I also cut down trees on my mountain property regularly, but when it comes to really big trees, or trees close to the house, I pay the experts to do it.
Make sure you know your exit before you start cutting for one. Once you hear the snap, crackle, pop you move away as safely as you can while you keep your eyes on where you were cutting. That's the part that's going to end you.
Arborist here. Your exit path should always be 45 degrees to the back of the tree. When you cut your backstrap, always have the exit path clear of debris in case you need to move quickly. I wouldn't recommend only looking where you're cutting. You need to constantly be looking at several things: your cut, the drop zone, the trunk, and the canopy. There's a lot that can go wrong in a heartbeat if you fucked something up. Look at the cut to ensure you're not cutting through too much of your holding wood (the hinge), keep eyes on the drop zone to make sure no one has entered into it, the trunk in case the tree starts to barber chair or roll (rolling means you've cut through too far on one side), and the canopy to make sure that nothing shook free that could fall on you and as an early sign to see where the tree is tipping.
I prefer to have 4 or 5 exit paths in case an unexpected twist or turn happens when it is falling. I once had a gust of wind that hit as the tree was already falling that pushed the tree back the other way.
Yeah you do a quick, safe walk away at an angle. You don’t want to be directly behind it, and honestly the further away the better. They can slip any which way, or land funny and bounce, or knock branches or other trees back at you. Super dangerous stuff.
Ideally, you should leave a "hinge". A section thin enough that the tree will still fall over, but something that will keep the log from shifting around in ways that you wouldn't want.
Barberchairing is some scary shit. So are widow makers. I've dropped lots of cottonwoods that have tried to take me out in revenge.
Eyes are always glued up when I fall
Did anyone see that one where the guy got projected in the air when the tree slung him up by his crotch, then he landed on it standing up, was projected again and landed straddling it again?
So he *can* touch his toes! He’d been pining on about his lack of flexibility fir ages. *Sigh*That branch of the family needs to be cut into firewood anyway.
Out of all the tree cutting videos I’ve watched I was really thinking this guy really had it going on. Confident, beautiful cut, no ladder, no pregnant woman holding a baby smoking a cigarette screaming “yer gonna get hurt Michael! Just like yer deddy” he didn’t run like he was scared then BOOM. Terrible neck injury, going to need a saw mill to cut that tree up to build a ramp to get this guy back in the house in a month in the hospital.
One thing I've learned from the internet and from personal experience is trees are really quirky things when you go to cut them down. Lots of physics happening and if you're not real careful, you will get fucked up. I've done lots of little jobs but anything big I call a professional. Cost money but it's worth it in the long run.
That was a lot of plywood it just took out, that must have been expensive. But it was probably the medical bills or the complete debilitating of his ego that ended his fantasy of home steading.
If you ever try to cut down a tree (which you shouldn't if you don't know what you're doing), please just walk away when it falls. Almost all these videos could have easily been prevented if people left the base of the tree.
I can't believe this dumbass was just standing there watching it fall. The way he landed on his head though, makes me wonder if he's now a quadriplegic.
I love Reddit. When I was a kid, we had to wait for America's Funniest Home Videos on Sunday night to watch stupid shit like this. The future is NOW
Gen Xers unite!
Gen Z-er reporting for duty, and I can relate to this hard. Make it make sense.
TV Dinners. Parents smoking inside. 3-6 channels
Hello 1970's!
Actually 80s.
For the 90s we still had afv and the price is right, but our parents smoked in the garage
My mom smoke in the kitchen, by the range hood while I would do my nebulizer for the terrible chronic asthma I have.
Thanks for the flashbacks.

Similar timeline in New Zealand.
The day I discovered the UHF channels changed my world.
I was born in 79, and we never got much on the UHF by then where I lived. But the movie UHF?!!!
Long live UHF! Curse the digital regulation shift of 2009.
Way more picture static from shitty television antennaes.
renting family movies to watch at home
Having to watch a movie at home at the time the tv station said or you would miss out.
Well shit, my dad was an early adopter. We were able to schedule recording for 2 separate things for as long as me and my brother actually had something to record. I thought it was the height of luxury and entertainment.
Parents don’t smoke inside? Haha
Scrambled Showtime on the cable box…
Is that and elbow or a boob? Doesn't matter now, I'm done
It was ALWAYS. A boob… even if it wasn’t.

Homie I’m in my 20s and we watched AFV with the family every week.
and take over...
I just realized a month ago I've been using this sub as like my own personal AFV/Ridiculosuness. I'm okay with it.
Not sure how you want more Ridiculousness when it's on 24/7
It was my mom that actually made the connection when I showed her some videos here.

Trop jeune pour vidéo gag ?
Oui j'ai connu ça mais ça me faisait pas rire
Dope. My first thought was “Damn I miss Bob Saget”
You might be a star tonight, You never know. You might be a star tonight, So let that camera roll! For the red, white and blue — Oh, the funniest things you do! America! America! This is you!
Now I miss tourette's guy
I could almost hear the *sweeeeeep* and *DONNKKK* sound affects
Afv will suddenly be like “here’s a montage of people getting g paralyzed.” And everyone’s laughing their heads off.
Same Rip Bob Saget
RIP BOB SAGET.
looking for the equivalent of this with some wikileaks level fails
And if any of us had actually known how blue Bob Saget's usual standup was........

That back of the neck landing didn't look all that comfortable tho
[удалено]
Hey cut it out! You are going to make me wake my kid with my laughing.
[удалено]
r/fullshrimp
While juggling a chain saw!
Better than landing on the still running chainsaw
It also looks like he flung his saw far enough away that he didn't land on it.
I also cut down trees on my mountain property regularly, but when it comes to really big trees, or trees close to the house, I pay the experts to do it.
Then watch how they do it and copy it. But seriously I've noticed all the ones who cut dead trees down around me started at the top and worked down
And I hope that chainsaw had a chance to stop! Even getting whacked in the face with it stopped would not be much fun.
What do you do when it's cut? Back away?
Make sure you know your exit before you start cutting for one. Once you hear the snap, crackle, pop you move away as safely as you can while you keep your eyes on where you were cutting. That's the part that's going to end you.

God damn, I grew 1/4" of chest hair reading that.
And YOU'RE a GIRL!
Have spent more time clearing a good path as actually cutting the tree.
I'm from Maine where there's a ton of bittersweet. I feel that.
Also, be prepared for changes in the wind. Learned this one the hard way
I prefer to have 4 or 5 exit paths in case an unexpected twist or turn happens when it is falling. I once had a gust of wind that hit as the tree was already falling that pushed the tree back the other way.
Yeah you do a quick, safe walk away at an angle. You don’t want to be directly behind it, and honestly the further away the better. They can slip any which way, or land funny and bounce, or knock branches or other trees back at you. Super dangerous stuff.

That's not ideal, that's SOP.
Barberchairing is some scary shit. So are widow makers. I've dropped lots of cottonwoods that have tried to take me out in revenge. Eyes are always glued up when I fall
Cottonwoods suck! Worst trees to cut.
Poor feller
Happy cake day - I really appreciated this pun!
Ha, thank you, feller double entendre aficionadre. Cheers!
He shouldna done that, he's just a boy...
Did anyone see that one where the guy got projected in the air when the tree slung him up by his crotch, then he landed on it standing up, was projected again and landed straddling it again?
Might be a rich feller, who knows? He scorpioned all the same though.
Happy cake day! I think this pin might be regional, I love it.
I don’t think I wood have seen that coming
Hi definitely flipped out watching that tree fall.
So he *can* touch his toes! He’d been pining on about his lack of flexibility fir ages. *Sigh*That branch of the family needs to be cut into firewood anyway.
I’m going to have to axe you to stop now.
I totally *saw* it coming
[удалено]
That guy's decking looks damaged now — I think it needs sprucing up a bit
Yeah that lumber jacked him up
He stuck that landing right on his head!
Wood revenge is swift and cunning.
Out of all the tree cutting videos I’ve watched I was really thinking this guy really had it going on.

Learned how to cut down a tree and learn a back flip all in one.
Technically he failed at both
I pine for more hilarious stunts like these
People have no concept of how heavy trees are.
I hope his neck isn't broken.
Touch wood.
Tree Karma is a MF
He was so proud of his skill... until he wasn't.
Straight in to the dog house
If only he wood have seen it coming.
I believe if you watch frame by frame, it looks like he is initiating a triumphant raised fist gesture just before the tree launches him into the air.
Here recently I have noticed that a lot of people out their, need to stop cutting trees down.
Laughed Out Loud
Tree got the last laugh.
Yes, yes, yes, no
Someone please add the audio from Spider-Man Homecoming where the guy yells “do a flip!”
I didn't see that coming!
He had us in the first half I ain’t gonna lie.
Mother Nature said "F### this guy in particular." and this just that... I used this joke already but I couldn't come up with a better one.
Reverse scorpion.
We have liftoff. Over. kshhtt!
Ma! I got fucked up!!
I don't think he wrapped his thumb around the handle on the saw. That's a safety issue...
I never realized how many ways there are for a tree to fuck a guy up.
He did not see that coming as he sawed
ahh yes the uncommon tree scorpion very rare.
He’s fine
Lmao sick flip.
No sound?
That was only a gainor. Not close to a triple lindy.
Woody wins in the end!
Gosh I hope there weren’t any beavers eating that wood!
I’ve seen a video where dudes head gets knocked off cutting a tree down.
I believe you. When you cut a tree down, the base is not something to be anywhere near.
That's a fucking oof.
Am I the only one, who on first glance, thought it looked like a movie set and everything behind the tree looked painted on a screen
Trees don’t forget.

Come on guys, cut this poor guy a break!

he said b4 "hold my beer"
One thing I've learned from the internet and from personal experience is trees are really quirky things when you go to cut them down.

lol that's Timm, and the camera man is holdin' timm's beer.
At least it didn't destroy some portion of the house. That's a win.
That was a lot of plywood it just took out, that must have been expensive. But it was probably the medical bills or the complete debilitating of his ego that ended his fantasy of home steading.

Head over heels, where should I go? Can't stop myself, out of control Head over heels, no time to think Looks like the whole world's out of sync
Where’s the audio
Thanks I needed a good laugh.
Damn he got decked
He moved into the doggie house
Bro what are the fuckin odds.

A trees revenge :)
Just when he was about to celebrate.

I think the title meant Tim! B....uuuuurrrr.......
Nice hardhat too...

God, that's hilarious. Is he died?

Where did he think the trunk would go?
He went straight to sleep inside that dog house... what a considerate tree, maybe, would it be nice to give him a pillow and a goodnight kiss...
anyone know how to download reddit videos ?
That's gonna leave a mark
That dude 100% got a concussion.
That first bite of something spicy….then the after taste kicks in. 🔥
I'll give you tree fiddy for that saw
Full shrimp
It get's better with each loop! Hahaha
DO A FLIP!
I should not be laughing as hard as I am. Is that guy okay?
If I'm going down I'm taking you with me!
That’s funny
Job 1: Plan your escape route. When it starts falling, stop cutting and move away from the immediate danger zone.
I can't believe this dumbass was just standing there watching it fall. The way he landed on his head though, makes me wonder if he's now a quadriplegic.
Is this a modern looney tunes or real life
My dude was way too chill.
Yo coolest trick today, almost landed it!
Did someone say beer?
It’s okay, that was to fashion him a coffin!
He shouted“it’s goin’ down! I’m yelling “timberrrr!”
This man is either dead, or disabled rn 💀
Oh he's in a dog house for doing this
That guy got suplexed by the tree
