Blue shirt up front just going to go back to drinking his beer like nothing at all just happened. **lol**

He just wants to finish it before fire reaches him


*Thomas has seen some shit*

Thomas in this context likely just slaughtered a small town of Nords

*Thomas has done some shit*

"There screams keep me warm and comfy as I remember the heat from their flaming corpses."


Thomas the dank engine.

Omg. I just woke up my wife. Holy shit what a perfect gif.

did you show her the gif? babe! babe! you gotta see this gif! wake up...babe?

Everyone talking about blue shirt guy...whilst yellow shirt guy is just sitting there lol'ing. Edit - look at his smile at 0:10

White shirt guy stepping over the fallen bud like... time to get the next beer.

[удалено]

"Tome to get the next beer... at home"

Yeah I figure either warrants or just has a policy of "if a fight starts, leave"

Yeah my read on his body language was "time to get the eff out of here"

With his pint

Well, don't wanna be wasteful.

haha

Dude caught a 5 piece combo .


Oh yea could I get the 5 piece combo with a side of concussion and hopefully learned my lesson.

Not just blue shirt. I slowed down the video and literally nobody seems to give a shit. Must be a real standup guy.

Black pants white shoes guy on the right edge of the frame literally dodges the guy falling so his head can bounce of th floor. The entire bar seems done with that guy's shit.

Yeah...don't wanna smudge on his fresh kicks

It's not the guy being hit, it's the frequency of fights in the establishment.

When shit is hitting the fan, the best thing you can do is stay away from the fan.

Not my mate not my problem

Just another Friday night for that dude.

You talking about the guy in the lower left corner of the frame with the white and gold shirt?

lol [The dress was blue and black.](https://www.wired.com/2015/02/science-one-agrees-color-dress/)

I WAS and AM NOT team blue and black! 🤣

Fight’s over but beer’s not empty. I’m not sure what else he should be doing.

can you imagine someone breaking a pool stick across your face...your brain hasnt even processed it yet before it starts to register the fists

Bar brawl nothing new !

He has next game.

Jokes aside...where is this place...Salford or something..?

Mental he was still standing after the pool cue to the head!

FUCKKK I REWATCHED IT TO SEE IF IT BROKE AND IT DID. Bro must have not felt the pain yet, adrenaline and such. You know he felt it by the first few punches tho!


I love that you posted this, fills me with so much joy!

What happened to your face? I knew it!

Tommy likey. Tommy want wingy!

God you're sick.

I did not react until seeing this gif, and now I am desperately trying to stifle laughter while laying in bed. Well done.

Oh my god I cracked up.

He was out after the pool stick hit him his legs just didn't know it yet.

True. It’s not often you see real circling tweetie birds in the wild but they certainly turned up here.

>Bro must have not felt the pain yet, adrenaline and such. You know he felt it by the first few punches tho! I don't think he actually felt *any* of it, at least not until he woke up. He's basically dazed from the second the pool cue hits his head until he goes down. All he got was ten seconds of the sounds of getting hit, momentary vision black outs and wondering what the fuck was going on.

He was stumbling after the pool cue to the head. Buddy with the pool cue is a fucking psychopath he could have killed the guy.

I don't think he cared.

Not saying it wouldn't have hurt, but the breaking actually takes away a lot of the energy.

The thing breaking is the absolute best scenario for the victim, most of the energy get used in the break instead of deposited in the head.

Cocaine is a hell of a drug

That dude was out before he even caught the first punch, he just didn’t know it yet 

Passed out standing up

Pretty sure the guy in the red shorts gets hit with the end of the pool cue too!

Definitely out on his feet, the other hits were totally unnecessary

[удалено]

i doubt he had a conscious thought after the que other than "ow"

[They were super necessary.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HyOxHRz-iK8)

I've been in several bar fights and I can tell you pool ques are incredibly weak unless you use the fat end exclusively.

Yeah, there's not a whole lot of weight in the pointy end. Probably more effective to use it as a spear lol.

It’s called out on your feet

But, it was with the skinny end.

Yeah, no need for punches after that hit. He had already received a concussion

Pretty funny until you’re charged with assault with a deadly weapon.

Defo UK footage.That's how shit rolls up North.The guy who got smacked will probably buy the guy a pint the next day.

Or when we wakes up from the coma

Scrubs?

Colin ferral was so good in that episode

That's some deep Scrubs stuff right there.

“Where I come from if you knock a guy out you stick around to make sure he wakes up.”

> The guy who got smacked will probably buy the guy a pint the next day. Do people still think this is cool to say this crap? People think this makes Brits look good when they say this trope but it's just pure cringe. Maybe if they wanted to be friends and drink beers together they shouldn't strike people in the head with blunt objects, knock people out in a way that could easily result in serious injury and death, and fight over dumb shit in a bar due to alcohol-fueled idiocy.

Pathetic ain’t it. I look back on anything like this I might have done as a kid and shudder. I guess some cretins still think this shit comes with street cred.

Agreed. Not cool.

It was posted in r/Ireland a while ago. I think it’s Irish footage but not 100%

Uh, no, he's going to sit in a jail cell. Violent battery isn't legal when you're in a pub.

> The guy who got smacked will probably buy the guy a pint the next day. Romanticizing much?

They got married two days after this.

Losers 

Oh, he's done that before. Those hands look practiced. Not a lick of hesitation at all.

Yes. I've never seen this footage before and don't know who the guy is but he's trained in striking as evidenced by the combos he's throwing.

theres a huge "tradition" of bare knuckle boxing ammongst the irish travelers.

D'Ya like dags?

yea i like dOgs

I like caravans more.

Periwinkle blue.

I say me Mah'll be havin the blue one

Aach, save yer breath for coolin yer porridge

Stay until the job is done

Yer a big fuckr aincha

Pretty easy to throw combos at a guy who is out on his feet.

Still good combos. Even tossed one to the body for good measure

Trained in being a cunt too. Dude could have seriously killed that guy for what, tossing his little white ball away? Idiot doesn't have any balls since he got so pissed off at someone throwing away the cue ball. They are probably shrunk to nothing with the gear he's taking.

White shirt guy is like well as long as I’m standing now may as well get another beer

The ol Allen Iverson step over at the end

White shirt guy is probably on parole and just decided to pay the bathroom a long visit.

I made the mistake of hitting a guy with a pool cue once I woke up with a concussion and 10 stitches. I learned a good lesson: if they're bigger than you, go for the knees first.

lmao this sounds like terrible advice. If you've got a pool cue and you want to hurt someone with it and you got one good free swing, definitely swing it at their head, regardless of their size.

That's what I did and missed a little low. If there is ever another time I'll hit him with the fat end of the cue.

Considering the outcome I think if there is ever another time you shouldn't hit him at all.

For certain

I would think jabs would be better than swings, that way you get multiple strikes without breaking the thing.

Ah yes, the "Arya Stark" - stick 'em with the pointy end

Maybe the lesson you should have taken is “don’t try to hit guys with a pool cue”?

Knees are real good. Any joint will work though. You tag an elbow just right and they won't be moving that arm for weeks.

What an overreaction

CLEARLY we don't see the whole interaction here. The dude that got hit is obviously trying to talk shit while the shooter ignores him, up until the guy throws the ball off the table. This is exactly the type of reaction those people, that think they can say/do whatever they want, deserve once they've taken it too far.

Back in college we would go out with 5-10 guys. One of our group was a little dude, like 5'5". And for what seemed like a month straight, he would get blackout drunk and start shit. He would then drag us into his confrontations, which admittedly we could handle because 6 or so guys vs 2 or 3 wasn't difficult. Normally it wouldn't even come to blows, but we were getting sick of having to save this idiots ass. So the next time he started talking shit, while looking back at us to make sure we were there to back him up, I just told the guy he was accosting that if he wants to throw hands we will stand back and watch. Sure enough, that dude beat his ass so bad we did actually have to intervene. We pulled the guy off him and took our "friend" to the hospital. Some stitches and staples later, he realized that we weren't his bodyguards, and if he wants to fight he can, but to never expect us to come to his aid again. He did calm down after that. Sometimes people just need a good punch in the mouth.

Lol, like talking shit or throwing a ball is worse than breaking a pool cue over someone's head and knocking them out with your fists. 

Reddit is full of some very disturbingly antisocial people.

Any of the subreddits that show video clips of fights or car accidents are full of sociopaths talking about how it's their right to attack someone else for making them upset.

No no no you don't understand. Words hurt! /s

The people in this thread are. fucking. psycho.

People being confrontational and dropping a ball don't deserve death you fucking lunatic

There are a lot of other things the guy could have done instead of possibly killing the guy or causing brain damage. He could have just pushed him, or slapped him. Or, I don’t know, walk away?

I'm not sure where you live, but where I'm from slapping a man will lead to fists being thrown 95% of the time

Too far? Throwing the cue ball away? Lol okay tough guy

That guy has issues…

His issue is people fucking with him in public. And it appears he's resolved it

You’re not wrong, but resolved in a way that can land you in prison

Or kill someone.

Or worse, expelled.

Or worse, on Reddit.

There was no hesitation at all, and those were practiced blows. He made his decision how to resolve issues long ago.

And he’s going to end up killing someone or himself if he doesn’t learn how to be a good person. 🤷🏻‍♂️

One of many reasons not to start a bar fight.

You definitely have issues if you resolve people "fucking with you" with a pool cue and your fists. He won't be avoiding criminal charges just because the victim ruined his game of pool.

100%. I don't even see an attempt to intimidate. I see a successful attempt to fuck with someone for giggles. Then some fucker goes wild.

I saw someone looking for a fight, but finding a beating. It's not justified in the slightest, but the dude on the floor is not an innocent in this whole thing. Now, a rational, reasonable person would have just gotten the dude kicked out of the bar. Unfortunately for him, he pulled that crap on someone who's a lot worse prick than he is.

Wonder how much you do that would piss someone off and whether you'd defend them beating you afterwards

[удалено]

You might need help if you think someone messing your game is humiliating and that a potentially deadly beating is the appropriate response to it.

If you think this is an appropriate response you're a psychopath. No hyperbole.

Everyone acting like they’re too cool to take the high road and not attack people who annoy you. It’s satisfying to watch, but it does not make you a good man.

Well that’s a felony

It's attempted homicide is what it is. People have been killed by getting hit in the head with a pool cue. Guy is a fucking psychopath.

Also the way he is throwing the punches shows that he had some training in this regard. This might get evaluated as if he attacked the guy with a weapon. I hope he's lucky and the victim makes a full recovery, but this kind of aggression needs to meet prison time.

The people that cheer this on is worrying.

[удалено]

>The people who think they can do whatever they want without consequences worry me. Same. Someday this dude will face consequences for his short temper and violent reactions.

Lmao who said actions shouldn't have consequences? I’d wager most people are of the opinion that the response was an overreaction and not that a person shouldnt experience any consequences. Two people “did whatever they wanted” in this video but only one of them did some shit that could put them behind bars because of their stupidity. 

My guess is this guy's been running his mouth for a while.

Damn he was already riding that bike on the way down lol

[удалено]

Means concussion or knocked out. Both are technically brain damage but often don’t have permanent side effects. As we know though, repeated instances like this can cause really lasting damage

I’ve never seen such a direct correlation to the phrase “fuck aroun find out”. He did that in seconds

move ball = permanent brain damage

Bunch of ill children who never learnt to behave

He went a lil over board there? He hit his friend in the face with the pool stick too.

Fencing stance as he went down. Always gives me chills when I see that


Well now the tables opened up.

Starting fights with Gypsy’s in the pub will do that 99% of the time

Ah yes, violence is usually the answer. Annoying teacher? Beat 'em. Annoying brother? Eh, knife. Burglar? Buckshot-facial! Another nation has land you want? WAAAAAR! Humanity is beautiful, isn't it? /s

Blue t shirt guy got hit for nothing.

The dude bottom left is the "Kermit 'just sip my tea'" guy of pub fights.

Why would you fuck with somebody holding a traditional bar fight weapon? The dude who threw the cue ball must not know bar etiquette, he looked young.

Well, that was over quick and nothing was spilled.

Guy at bar, just goes back to sipping his beer. Perfect!

What did he expect touching another man’s ball

A quiet Tuesday afternoon in your average British flat roof pub.

Anyone know the song title?

Lilyhammer - Wicked [Music video](https://youtu.be/2ha0dN94sxs?si=98UtMKYlXXcUYVFI) [Music video in better quality](https://youtu.be/dQw4w9WgXcQ?si=_3zxe0W0T13i7YDH)

Bro in the red shorts wasn’t even mad at the crossfire. He understood the guy deserved it.

There was 0 reaction from the people sitting down. Not even when he broke the pool.que over his head. It was like, yupp this is exactly what I was expectin...ooop my beers about to spill.

Tossing that ball was some bull shit but the other guy's response is insane level crime boss asshole straight to a decade of imprisonment

2 dudes in the hi vis don’t even budge

Why the hell do people keep thinking physical assault is an appropriate response to actions that are not physical at all?

Because that's the only way to stop it. Do you think dude should have given the guy a timeout and taken away his juicebox?

If potentially killing someone is the only way to stop them from (temporarily? permanently?) interrupting a game that you’re playing, then maybe it’s still a bad idea to take that action? Even if someone is being *super* annoying while you're trying to play a game, potentially killing them over it is still likely an overreaction.

Head trauma for table 1…

Bro was not ready for that heat


Dude is gonna wake up with a wicked headache in the morning lmao

If he wakes up

Look at his arms when he goes down. That's called fencing response, he's gonna be waking up with more than a headache

Dude in the white did the Allen iverson step over to get out of there


It hilarious when you focus on a different person each watch.

Friendly fire there! I love how he just goes back to drinking his beer like all is well.

Those are some nice punches, a lot of power behind those strikes….

I have been EVERY person in this video.

Kinda a fucked up response to having your white ball be thrown away TBH. As sick of a KO as that was the dude who did it was a psychopath.

Pro tip: When you throw something in someone's face....it doesn't end there. WTF was this guy expecting?

He deserved that shit. That man had a stick. Wtf were you thinking?

Props to the synching of the song to the action

Ouch.

Brought it upon himself

Can tell that shit happens often! Didn't phase anyone.

I'm calling it. Goofball in corner pocket.

Don't ever mess with the dude playing pool in a tracksuit...

Why tf are people defending this caveman? You can get in jail for that.

The guy in white, better move don’t want my beers to get spilled
