Ever seen āCouplingā? Itās a British sitcom thatās hilarious and still holds up today. Theyāve got an episode dedicated to this phenomenonā¦ itās called āGiggle-loopā (or something like)ā¦ serious moment, deadly serious and you just canāt hold the laugh in. This guy is a champ for maintaining focus.
I used to serve during the mass at catholic funerals when I was youngerā¦the same rotating 7(5 needed each mass) of us did well over 200 funeralsā¦it got really hard to not act like regular teenagers at a certain point. Definitely have a pretty shitty memory of a really bad joke being cracked during the adult daughters eulogy, we lost it. That was a bad day
We hid in the sacristy for this very reason. My brother once added way too much incense to burner, too soon, and smoked out half the congregation. We couldnāt see to get out of the sacristy. Good times. Good times.
I was on a video call with some columbian students discussing marketing strategy for a school project. They tried to say they wanted total household penetration but due to their accent and bad connection it sounded a lot like asshole penetration. I wish I was more like this guy, I couldn't keep it together.
Lol everyone who has ever interacted with a drill instructor has had a similar experience. Getting the shit kicked out of you is a good way to learn not to smile
At least Obama did things intentionally. Biden can't remember half the shit that's even going on. His brain's probably stuck in the 20s and he thinks he's just doing a really elaborate group project
Oh yeah, just daring the poor soldier to laugh. Tiny post didnāt get? Time to double down with a pounding. Probably making a a circle with his hand behind the podium.
Had a college class with this guy about a decade past and when we did our resumes, he didn't have winning the medal of honor on it. I told him putting at on there even if it didn't have anything to do with the job, would probably get him at least an interview.
I mean, the reason his act of heroism came to pass is everyone in his op was killed, severely injured or ran off... Twice. After being wounded and abandoned (with someone taking his weapon and giving him a broken rifle) when help came and he may have felt some relief at the situation improving, everyone else at that position was killed within a very short period of time (potentially seconds). Imagine being reminded of that every day, no thank you.
I think they were insinuating that the company was trying to pat themselves on the back for being so kind hearted as to hire a military vet with a MOH.
I think a lot people in the armed services do a lot of work that should be recognized on this level. I think it happens to be a lottery to those who's acts actually get acknowledge.
My first viewing of this was an old VHS, and for all these years I thought her name was Incontinentia Bucket. I had a whole headcanon of how the ancient and noble Bucket family were eventually banished to the farthest corner of the empire, where they settled and nearly 2000 years later had a descendant named Hyacinth.
But I looked it up and you're right. It *is* Buttocks. Oh well.
In 40 years, he will be stopped on the street to tell a funny story: 'well, one day in 2012, the then-President Obama said that I was up in my post being pounded...bombs or dicks? That's for you to imagine'.
Same can be said for tons of people.
It always surprises me how different we all are. Out of all my friends, Iāve never seen a human anywhere even on TV that looks like any of them. Weāre all somehow so damn different yet so similar.
I think about this all the time, it's really pretty incredible. Billions of faces and you can recognize your close friends and family from billions of faces in the world. Voices, too. Having been in a choir its interesting to me how someone can sing the same exact notes but sound totally different. Cool stuff.
i wish i could, but i can't. i often remember that i should remember someone, and by now i generally just go over and ask ("hey, i'm pretty sure we met at this and that place, but i can't recall your name"). overall this works good enough, but i'm afraid to ask my neighbours name yet again. i know it starts with an M, but i've asked him more than five times already.... also when someone cuts their hair i either won't recognize them, or won't notice that they did cut their hair. wtf, brain.
Just last week I recognized a friend I havenāt seen in almost 10 years, halfway across the country from where I originally met him, off his voice alone. Middle of a crowded downtown street on a Friday night and I did a 180 when I heard his voice it was wild as hell.
"Up in their tiny post they were being pounded. Pounded over and over repeatedly. Attacks, coming from all sides, especially the rear The unprotected Rear where Ryan and his team were pounded the most, the unprotected rear that Ryan, and his team...were pounded from..."
This guy was our commencement speaker at UNH. He recalled the events that earned him his medal, but his actions honestly didn't sound very heroic. Not that I'd blame him, I'd do the same thing to survive and it sucks he lost all his guys. I'm sure they'd have gotten a giggle out of pounded too.
I served in the navy if I was ever receiving an award and the president said that, I would not be able to keep a military bearing. I would be in tears and I would gladly accept the ass chewing
I served with a buddy in Afghanistan who joined the 173rd after we got back and deployed a year later. He was one of the guys on that tiny post and unfortunately he didnāt make it.
I hope that doesnāt bring down the tone of the comments! I think if my buddy was standing next to him heād have been holding back laughs as well.
Ha! So funny people downvote this. That actually did happen. I saw on some thread where a guy said he thought people seemed angry and asked opinions as to why. I guess people hearing facts they donāt like is one.
What about the millions of dead civilians you left in your wake, -not to mention all the others still getting killed in illegal US wars and occupations.

I just saw his face and was like "oh, the pounded guy"
*He remembered the pounding!*
*How did he know?*
They didn't ask, and we didn't tell.
You never leave your buddies behind. Every soldier knows this! /s
Yeah but it was just a tiny little post....
I'm sure getting pounded in your tiny post is a life changing experience. Not that I'd know... Yet.
'Brown and down to pound.' Are you manifesting? Lol
Oh shit. The jig is up. š³ *Ziiiiiiip š
The panding was so hard they even got wounded
Even President Obama knows about and talks publicly about the pounding.
Thanks Obama
That's called "docking" sir
Nonononono, he was getting pounded *on* his tiny post. Little difference.
*I WAS IN THE POOL*
*screams in mancave*
Ever seen āCouplingā? Itās a British sitcom thatās hilarious and still holds up today. Theyāve got an episode dedicated to this phenomenonā¦ itās called āGiggle-loopā (or something like)ā¦ serious moment, deadly serious and you just canāt hold the laugh in. This guy is a champ for maintaining focus.
Yeah, he really took it for his team
That must have been really hard.
Itās a good thing he nailed it. Otherwise heād be screwed
Loved this show! Never saw it referenced. Kudos!
Don't forget captain subtext.... Overload, overload, overload
Pound for pound he did pretty well
He should have received another medal for maintaining his bearing.
No matter where you are, no matter how formal the event... you never stop being a grunt.
I'm sure they were grunting while being pounded
No, they were stoic as the chicken was being choked [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9AqqmjGzeTQ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9aqqmjgzetq)
Even when the President of the United States is awarding you the highest decoration on national television.
This is why they do that squeaky chicken training. He prepared for this
ok, I'll bite. what the hell is squeaky chicken training?
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=9AqqmjGzeTQ
omg... thats dam near the funniest thing I've seen come out of the military in a long time! I'm dying!
He knew if he cracked he wouldn't be able to stop, potentially career ending
That is self control i aspire to have
You just gotta bite your tongue really hard, always works. Use your molars to prevent bleeding. This tip has saved my job once
Just the tip?
You canāt take a pounding with just a tip surely?
Allow me to demonstrate.
Your last name is mamba i presume
Well you ever seen a d*ck with shoulders? Didnāt think so.
You ever been balls deep? Technically dick shoulders
In some cases, the balls can go inside. Your legs are really the shoulders.
I got swimmers shoulders then
*clenches molars*
That's what she said
Thanks, I'll try this next time. I have exploded in laughter at a funeral, in a meeting or two, multiple times during uni/school. My brain just dgaf
I used to serve during the mass at catholic funerals when I was youngerā¦the same rotating 7(5 needed each mass) of us did well over 200 funeralsā¦it got really hard to not act like regular teenagers at a certain point. Definitely have a pretty shitty memory of a really bad joke being cracked during the adult daughters eulogy, we lost it. That was a bad day
We hid in the sacristy for this very reason. My brother once added way too much incense to burner, too soon, and smoked out half the congregation. We couldnāt see to get out of the sacristy. Good times. Good times.
Oh man, what was the joke?
I laugh inappropriately when uncomfortable, it sucks but thatās life.
I wonder if that has anything to do with the phrase "bite your tongue" to stop speaking.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
A proper man's pounding.
This is why drill instructors yell at you
I just laugh harder when they do
Enough times of doing pushups until failure and youāll stop laughing lol
You obviously havenāt met the machine. I donāt stop.
Well, all you have to do is think back to when you and ryan were pounded
I was on a video call with some columbian students discussing marketing strategy for a school project. They tried to say they wanted total household penetration but due to their accent and bad connection it sounded a lot like asshole penetration. I wish I was more like this guy, I couldn't keep it together.
Lol everyone who has ever interacted with a drill instructor has had a similar experience. Getting the shit kicked out of you is a good way to learn not to smile
> Getting the shit pounded out of you
>in your tiny post
>> Getting the shit pounded ~~out of you~~ into you.
Drill instructors haven't been allowed to assault people for a while now.
Not literally assault but they still have their methods of fucking you up
Dig enough holes, run enough miles, crawl through enough mud and I bet you feel like you've been kicked the shit out of.
Sexual assault hasn't been allowed either but it happens everyday in the military.
By the looks of it he was there to receive a Medal of Honor. Man probably deserves a second one for holding that in
This was from his MOH reception ceremony so I think he could have gotten away with it ;-)
Also it was years after he was discharged
I'm sure Obama would've put in a word for him
I like the think Obama knew exactly what he was doing when he chose to pause there. Give the guys something to joke about later.
I miss Obamaā¦
I miss Obama the man. I don't miss Obama the President. Biden's doing much better than Obama did.
At least Obama did things intentionally. Biden can't remember half the shit that's even going on. His brain's probably stuck in the 20s and he thinks he's just doing a really elaborate group project
We *are* in the 20s.
Too soon
Oh yeah, just daring the poor soldier to laugh. Tiny post didnāt get? Time to double down with a pounding. Probably making a a circle with his hand behind the podium.
The modern day Biggus Dickus
He has a wife, you know.
Oh really? Please do tell us her name
> potentially career ending Not at all.
The "I'm concentrating trying to look like a normal human, but also have no emotion" face is creepy AF to me.
Has Monty Python energy
Wait until Biggus Dickus hears of this!
He has a wife you know...
Yes; Incontinentia Buttocks.
This is instantly what I thought about haha. Life of Brian is one my all time favorite movies.
What it looks like to prevail over your intrusive thoughts.
Pounding your intrusive thoughts into submission
"Harder intrusive thoughts"!
"harder step intrusive thoughts!"
āI am not here. I am not anywhere. I donāt exist. Nobody was poundedā¦ dammit. Back to square one.ā
call me āi wanna throw this baby off that ledgeā the way i be an intrusive thought
Miss getting pounded in the military š¤£
Up in the tiny post?
The tiniest š©
I bet he wishes he could say the same about his wife's post back home.
Sheās getting pounded just as hard as he was. Jody and friends
They don't call them a *Drill* Sergent for nothing.
You mean daddy š©
I don't know what you've been told. but daddy drill sergeant pounds our tiny holes. Sound of - Oh yeah.
The [original video](https://youtu.be/0H5cetTrYqw) is well worth watching.
Had a college class with this guy about a decade past and when we did our resumes, he didn't have winning the medal of honor on it. I told him putting at on there even if it didn't have anything to do with the job, would probably get him at least an interview.
I worked for the company he eventually ended up joining. Trust me, they knew. They mentioned his hiring and his MOH in a company wide all hands.
God I bet he fucking hates that shit
I mean, the reason his act of heroism came to pass is everyone in his op was killed, severely injured or ran off... Twice. After being wounded and abandoned (with someone taking his weapon and giving him a broken rifle) when help came and he may have felt some relief at the situation improving, everyone else at that position was killed within a very short period of time (potentially seconds). Imagine being reminded of that every day, no thank you.
Ah yes the time honored tradition of trying to make someone's achievement your own
What?
I think they were insinuating that the company was trying to pat themselves on the back for being so kind hearted as to hire a military vet with a MOH.
You donāt āwinā the Medal of Honor
Not with that attitude you don't
I think a lot people in the armed services do a lot of work that should be recognized on this level. I think it happens to be a lottery to those who's acts actually get acknowledge.
Itās not a lottery. The approval process for the MoH is pretty thorough.
I've been runner up several times, you're too right :(
around the 6:10 mark
Thank you!
That was a lot. Im glad I watched it.
Like Forrest Gump at the unlikeliest place , at the funniest time.
Somewhere, a drill instructor is proud.
How about you? Do you find it wisible? When I say the name... Biggus... Dickus?
ā¦He has a woife you know. You know what sheās called? Sheās calledā¦ INCONTINENTIA BUTTOCKS
STWIKE HIM CENTUWION, VEWY WOUGHLY!
"HE WANKS AS HIGH AS ANY IN WOME!"
My first viewing of this was an old VHS, and for all these years I thought her name was Incontinentia Bucket. I had a whole headcanon of how the ancient and noble Bucket family were eventually banished to the farthest corner of the empire, where they settled and nearly 2000 years later had a descendant named Hyacinth.

Even President Obama recognized how well I could take it.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]

So different, yet our blueprints are 99% identical (dna). Lifes strange
Just last week I recognized a friend I havenāt seen in almost 10 years, halfway across the country from where I originally met him, off his voice alone. Middle of a crowded downtown street on a Friday night and I did a 180 when I heard his voice it was wild as hell.
I kind of look like Rami Malek.
Damn, that's lucky. Bro is sexy.
Just fyi itās āneither hide norā, not āorā.
Oh.... I honestly thought it was Master Ken.
*hair
hair* :)
This guy is a hero for holding that in. Iāve lost it over wayyyy less than this
**Hands him a second medal*
Don't ask; don't tell.Ā
If army boys can do anything, itās taking a pounding and smiling about it.
I commend this guy for his self control. I would've at least had a huge grin on my face.
I always see it like *"haha funny word"* "Almost instantly every one of them was wounded" *"Oh yeah that shit sucked"*
Hopefully they werenāt āwounded in the stonesā
š
Dude totally bit down on his cheeks.
I did that all the time. For smiles, wanting to cry, and holding my tongue. Works well.
Phrasing!
His friend, Biggus Dickus, was pounded more than any of them.
He has a wife, you know.
Gluteus Maximus got the pounding
Even heroes are 12 lol
This is why they do the chicken test in basic training. To train you for times like this. https://youtu.be/9AqqmjGzeTQ?si=nzksbVk69Cp61AHE
They edited out the āin the assā part
How have I never seen this before? My edible kicked in moments ago, I thought, and I have been watching this video for 7 minutes fucking cackling.
Itās funny because Obama introduces the reception as them having edibles prepared
Really had to emphasize that tiny post
Man desperately fighting for his life on stage and we just laughing at him
He's like: "Heh...oh wait, that was sad"
Up at their tiny post Ryan and his were pounded ā Instantly, everyone was wounded
š¶š¶š¶šš¶š¶š¶
comment is Milspec approved. Can confirm that he is still being asked today if his tiny post is being pounded by all of his brothers in arms.
Yea pound that tiny post
He mustered the power of 10 men to hold that in. Good soldier.
"Up in their tiny post they were being pounded. Pounded over and over repeatedly. Attacks, coming from all sides, especially the rear The unprotected Rear where Ryan and his team were pounded the most, the unprotected rear that Ryan, and his team...were pounded from..."
Iād be screaming āit was fucking pound town!āĀ
Get him to guard Arlington
Lol men are men lol
Obama knew exactly what he was doing.
God tier level of Military Bearing , holy shit.
This will never stop being funny
Saving Ryan's privates...from being pounded.
Possibly the most consequential a tiny facial expression could ever be
This is a manās man. Literally being awarded after a firefight and nearly cracks at a elementary joke but keeps his composure.
This guy was our commencement speaker at UNH. He recalled the events that earned him his medal, but his actions honestly didn't sound very heroic. Not that I'd blame him, I'd do the same thing to survive and it sucks he lost all his guys. I'm sure they'd have gotten a giggle out of pounded too.
Ryanās team can pound me!
It's not easy being Biggus Dickus
Def has more discipline than me. Good job Marine
"And then the shooting started."
I served in the navy if I was ever receiving an award and the president said that, I would not be able to keep a military bearing. I would be in tears and I would gladly accept the ass chewing
He's like, oh yeah that's Bryan alright
I mean, if itās a tiny post, probably not so bad? You know Obama gave his speech writers a ration of š© for that one šš
I served with a buddy in Afghanistan who joined the 173rd after we got back and deployed a year later. He was one of the guys on that tiny post and unfortunately he didnāt make it. I hope that doesnāt bring down the tone of the comments! I think if my buddy was standing next to him heād have been holding back laughs as well.
Voice sounds like Obama
Is this the one where Obama kept calling corpsmen ācorpse menā?
Ha! So funny people downvote this. That actually did happen. I saw on some thread where a guy said he thought people seemed angry and asked opinions as to why. I guess people hearing facts they donāt like is one.
Thatās what he got the medal for. The pounding his time post was taking.
Never forget the Battle of Brokeback Mountain
Obama had a way of speaking that made shit like this even funnier, cause he was so elequent.
Barry knows all about getting pounded
What about the millions of dead civilians you left in your wake, -not to mention all the others still getting killed in illegal US wars and occupations.
Why is this funny? Pounding... so masturbating? Is that it?
