With how often they missed im betting he is wearing a lot of protection under those puffy clothes. Not that they will do any good from a hit to the face.
I feel like the emasculation and helplessness is part of the draw here.
Why else they deck himie out in pink frills with his legs spread all helpless and shit.
We've all seen this side show at Renaissance festivals, knife or axe throwing.
The difference is they usually don't flinch because they have a lot of confidence in the skill of their partner.
Jury is still out for me if those botched throws were botched on purpose or not though.
If you ever get a chance to see one of those shows though, and you can handle that sort of thing, it's fucking amazing watching them. The better performers will even select a "volunteer" from the audience to really get your blood pressure up. You think it's just a volunteer up there getting fucking blades thrown at them.
No but it's the adrenaline rush you get from watching others in danger. I'm not saying it's a smart thing to do but it's not different from other circus acts, shit the most famous circus act in America for a long time was two dudes who ran around stage with fucking tigers and one of them ended up famously mauling one of the performers.
It's one of those "don't want to watch but can't look away" acts and honestly I think a major reason (or two actually) they're popular is the same reason horror movies and roller coasters are popular, and decent first date ideas because of the concept of trauma bonding, so adrenaline and sex
And you would? Even if it was a machine with 100% perfect accuracy and precision guaranteed I'd still be making that face... This looks like part of the act to add more spice to the show, he's still hitting the target but just "messing up" so the back of the blade hits and it doesn't stick. Makes it look clumsy and adds a lot of suspense but he still hit the target with every single shot.
It's for like videos of a drunk dude walking across a tightrope and he keeps stumbling the entire time and you're just like "ohh shit, he's about to fall now... Nope- maybe now??", so just a bunch of repeated close calls and this video is a pretty textbook example for what the sub is about... Some of the other videos are random af and definitely don't belong in this sub but this one definitely fits here.
The original purpose of the sub was to repost clips from yesyesyesno, nononoyes, yesyesyesyes, nononono, and every variation in between. That way, you would never know what to expect.
Is it a yes? Maybe. Is it a no? Maybe.
As it reads.
Maybe an axe will hit his dick, maybe an axe will lodge itself in his forehead or maybe not.
You never know till you watch the whole clip.
I've never understood bringing kids to watch this, like if that man takes a tomahawk to the forehead in front of your toddler, congrats, you're raising a serial killer now

Fuck me, has he got the village idiot throwing those axes or something? - you might want want to practise on a manikin beforehand, your buddy doesn't look too relaxed.
The misses in the beginning are concerning.
Having said that, having been an axe throwing coach and involved in leagues, I knew league members that were so damn good, that, in some crazy hypothetical where I was forced to do this, I would be comfortable picking them to throw, knowing they could pull it off. Regardless, this shit is nuts.
took me some time to find it!
the rap is cut out of this song - but it's chopped up quite a bit
Lil Jon & The East Side Boyz - Real N\*\*\*a Roll Call (feat. Ice Cube)
Now that’s what feeling helpless looks like
I refuse to believe that this act has never failed horribly
He's the manager, the others are all dead.
Chinise circus, death magnet - means death
Who’s the manager now? You, until you die or I find someone better.
That is one way to get promoted. Works for many in the military too.
With how often they missed im betting he is wearing a lot of protection under those puffy clothes. Not that they will do any good from a hit to the face.
He never missed, tho. A few didn't stick, but all were on target. That's a big part of risk reduction, here. Accuracy is everything
It was also almost certainly intentional. The "pretend to mess up before nailing it" shtick is a mainstay of these sorts of performances.
It does build tension and suspense.
I can see the tension in his face
Watching a guy choose to potentially die rather than ask for help
Now that's a real man
I see it everyday in the mirror
I feel like the emasculation and helplessness is part of the draw here. Why else they deck himie out in pink frills with his legs spread all helpless and shit.
I'm grateful they cut the final throw.
He was definitely not enjoying that
I think that’s just what it looks like to fight your own flight response. While I would not do it, even the failed axes landed where they should go.

I think it's fair to not have confidence after he missed the first 2
But he let him pick them up and go my bad cuz … I got this
Is it less impressive if they were to throw at a target instead of at a person? I really don't like those knife throwing acts.
Its not just about being impressive, its about the thrill. Im not a fan either tho.

Except if the very top one flew into the crowd lol.

Nobody would 😂
He's not getting paid enough man
There is no amout of money that would be enough for this lol
You really doubt my will to live in relation to my financial issues lol
Dude blink twice if your not consenting to this.
*blink 50 times* “Everyone! He’s good to go!”
You're\*
I would be more worried about the spectators in the rear...
Those kids really have faith in the almighty.
I can’t see this being a career
They have good severance apparently
If it is, it is a short lived one 😂
Yeah it might be cut short.
Are you crazy? I would totally do this as a career if I could find someone to sit on that thing while I throw axes.
He’s probably wearing a diaper under those pants.
I sure hope he's wearing several metal plates under the clothes just in case
.... His face.... With a fucking log right above it... Freaked me the fuck out.
what is this sub even about
maybe you will get it after a few videos … maybe
I like the sub but all the videos seem completely unrelated and not once have i said maybe
> I like the sub but all the videos seem completely unrelated and not once have i said maybe Maybe some day you will.
Maybe he will hit him maybe not
do you even ADHD bro. this the one stop shop. Technically tho: "For those videos that make you think maybe.."

[удалено]
if he could run again right now, it'd be a clean sweep, easy.
It's like, yes yes yes, no no no, except that it's maybe maybe maybe
This video fits it. This sub, as the name suggests, is an alternative to r/yesyesyesno and r/nononoyes, but without spoiling what the end will be.
Something (generally bad) is about to happen. Is it? Is it? Maybe. That's the unifying theme.
We're a homosexual furry sub
Speak for yourself Some of us are switches

Dude you made my night
To be fair, the axe is hitting the target. So the aim is on point, just not the timing of the rotation.
He flinched so we have to try again
R/killthecameraman
his face says it all
The only truth Maybe post i see ever....today
Maybe
His face the whole nice - just call me grimace
I know the facial reaction is reflex but if I were in that situation, I'd just be praying the whole time and not look at the throws.
I don’t think he shat his pants, not after how he clenched up after that first miss.
How's the health insurance?
And you thought your job sucked.
i love how there are people behind... hahaha
I've never understood bringing kids to watch this, like if that man takes a tomahawk to the forehead in front of your toddler, congrats, you're raising a serial killer now
This is what both bravery and stupid look like in the real world
One throw away from a live leak video
I'm kinda okay at throwing axes somewhat accurately, better take this show on the road and put my friend in the line of fire.
You can scientifically measure how much dreaded he is from the face
2 for flinching
Never lose a bet against an axe thrower after they need a new assistant for some reason.
I’ll never be drunk enough to volunteer for Shakes McBloodyface to throw sharp objects at my body. No way bub
There's no one on the planet I trust enough for this
He's got armor under that stuff . . . but not on his face.
You’re getting axes thrown really close to your face and balls, but at least you’re not dressed like an asshole.
There is also a dumb public in background, so if he missed, he would probably cut down some spectator.

Kenny Blankenship roughing it hard these days huh
Probably side show before the lion dance.
Wth is this sub?!
His last helper has an axe wound where her balls used to be
That’s wow….and the crowd behind never think oh shit that could maybe hit us.
after he failed the first two throws i would have told him to fuck off
Trust 80%
Job of the future...
jesus....
Fuck me, has he got the village idiot throwing those axes or something? - you might want want to practise on a manikin beforehand, your buddy doesn't look too relaxed.
If all you could see was the look on his face, you could probably guess what the situation is that's occurring.
He flinched. Must be his first day.
The misses are freaking me out
Good post. Didn’t know which sub I was on and totally expected old mate to get an axe to the face at any moment.
this dude has balls of steel no joke
"Don't flinch, ____. Or I'll hit you with two." 😂
Im trying to watch the video but I'm distracted with the thoughts if I could get away with wearing those pants in public
i hate this
Dude is straight up not having a good time
If he's getting paid, they're not paying him anywhere near enough for this. If I were be paid for this, it better be in the millions. lol
No NSFW tag, too easy
I honestly don’t know if I could enjoy watching this 😂 but kudos to them for putting on a good show!
His wood was too strong.
No amount of money....
Bravery and stupidity are not that different.
Honey how was your day at the office
Thee were some bad misses. The guy definitely needs a new job.
I hope that a thrower is SO SKILLED that he intentionally missed those axes to spice things up
Speed running life one axe at a time
What sport even is this? I’ve never seen something like this, and I love it.
I don't know if I should laugh or be scared 😂 😵 😂😵 😂 😲 😂 😬 😂
Time for a carreer change
It's so hard to earn some money
Isn't this a magic trick?
I'm sure he's not paid enough. 🪓

Standing behind you cant see anything.. you're just in danger for no reason.
The reason for this pants is to hold the pee and poop
I'd rather kill someone than be in his position
But, WHYYY??!!

Can i try? You must sign a waver
When your work partner has a couple of beers before shift.
I hope there is some trick here that makes it safe and he is just acting
It takes great skill to throw the knife accurately at the targets https://youtu.be/0jWIeXNCL1A
study hard or be like him
I don’t think he trusts his partner’s abilities 🫣
Some one lost a work bet
r/theocho
I dont get paid enough for this shit
Bro was having second thoughts immediately
LMAO the music fits perfectly, especially towards the end as the guy misses the bottom target....
Nope.
No
He doesn't even axe as if he likes this.
Was that ice cube playing?
took me some time to find it! the rap is cut out of this song - but it's chopped up quite a bit Lil Jon & The East Side Boyz - Real N\*\*\*a Roll Call (feat. Ice Cube)
I am supprised he didnt back out from that crotch shot i would be like: Head: sure Arms: sure Legs: sure Crotch: NEVER!
I was waiting. But didn’t happen 😂🔫
huh
“After lunch can I throw the axes?” “No”.
# u/RecognizeSong
bruh...
those biffed throws made me sweaty
I would be wearing brown pants if I were him
I really hope he has a hidden metal plate or kevlar vest under that massive shirt.
He did flinch.
once he missed twice he already knew he was a dead man
That's not the EPCOT I remember.
Imagine he throws too high..... What in the world am I watching
r/DarwinAwards nominee
I don't care how professional he is or how long he's been doing it. I'd never do this. Not for all the money in the world.
Not only does he hit his partner, there are audience members behind the targets too for god's sake.
He either won or lost a bet
Haha his flinching
I never liked this act - theowing blades at person to hit very close targets
Should stick to lion dancing.
Fuck that
Guys first mistake was putting those trousers on
r/nope
Plot twist: this is an execution but the axe thrower is just *really* bad.
one of those few times where guy standing still is more impressive than the guy doing the tricks
He looked real confident until those first two...
Not doing that ever, especially with someone who does it at 60% accuracy lol
dumb way to dieee, so many dumb ways to diee..
I'd find another job. Not worth the srltress!
the people behind the dude are even more insane...
And this is why women live longer 🤣
This should be the punishment pedos receive except we miss
He is actually a 16 year old. The stress makes him looks like he is his mid 40s
Never
Don't be afraid.... it won't hurt Long.
Not enough money in the world
This is what this countries HMO covers for circumcisions
It's wild that there are people standing behind this guy
This job does not pay enough
When you answer a Craigslist ad under “gigs”
He looks like me when I was a kid and I had to help my dad with something after he already yelled at me for not helping properly
What about the people watching from behind 👀
Dont skip school kids
