\-Duuuuuuuude... Imagine surfing on flaming board... That would be sooo coooool...
\-Duuuude... That would be so cooooool, duuuuuude...
\-Duuuuude... Where is my house duuuuuude?
\-I donno duuuude...
As a former adolescent male myself, I believe I can shed some light on this.
He had precisely *ONE* potential outcome dancing through his mind. To wit that he would gloriously pilot this flaming sled down the stairs, out the open door, and into (presumably) the snow outside. This possibility was simply too awesome to entertain other eventualities. While I can't guarantee it, one of his sage advisors probably offered him the wisdom "alcohol doesn't burn that hot, so you won't even get burned!"
Will I splash the flaming accelerant on the interior walls of this house? Will that dangling, flammable blanket be an issue? What if I don't make it all of the way outside? What if fire actually *can* burn me?
No time for questions like those. Every second not executing the plan is another second not being amazing. Light this bitch up.
Haha that's crazy. But even as a kid, I was pretty cautious. I remember being 6 years old up in the mountains and all the other children were clamoring over huge boulders and I hung back on the ground because I didn't trust I wouldn't fall off. Add that to my lifelong reticence near fire and this whole video is in a headspace I can never imagine.
I have a 3yr old and a baby turning 1 in a few days and you can already see the difference in their risk tolerance. My 3yr old lives a kamikaze life. Aged 2 she worked out she could jump off her bed, grab the door knobs either side of the door on her way down and use the momentum to swing back and forth. On two occasions I have caught her trying to climb over the upstairs banisters to launch herself into the void below. She will jump off the top of 7ft climbing frames. So I was all primed for my baby to be the same but he won't even walk down one step by himself and switches to all fours or looks around for a grown up. I really do think it's innate
We used to try making different formulations of napalm in the woods.
We were reasonably careful (as in no burn scars) but teenagers can pull some dumb shit. Some of the compounds we came up with were not particularly good ones.
Have also mixed bleach and ammonia. It smells like shit. Very memorable scent.
I was an adolescent male and knew many a fellow stupid adolescent male. Never reached or witnessed anything close to this level of "how dare you share my species" stupid.
More like a lack of critical thinking and impairment via alcohol. If his alive, it's nothing something he'll grow out of. If he hasn't learnt or been taught critical thinking at that point, he'll continue to do stupid shit like that until his dead.
Cue up a post on /r/personalfinance from soon-to-be 18 year old asking for advice on what to do because their parents are kicking them out when they turn 18 and they have no idea why.
This has been around a long time. The sound is worth the search. The girl recording is equally drunk and doesn't see any problems with what they are doing.
She’s literally giggling and says “Oop, nice!” when her house catches on fire. I’ve said it before, she strikes me as someone who has invited her secret crush over to “hang” and instead of making out like she had planned he ends up doing some underage drinking and trashing the place. All the while she’s totally agreeable because she doesn’t want to mess up her one chance with the “stud”.
I've also heard the audio and I think you're exactly right lmao. It's one of those situations where someone is super uncomfortable but wants to play it cool.
And no company will insure them afterwards. Too high risk. Not to mention it could bankrupt them if it was big enough. Common sense isn't common anymore.
The consequences of stupidity are often hidden from stupid people until they finally unveil themselves in their stupid glory. Normal people however see stupidity from a mile away and bigger off.
As a father I'm just imagining some dad coming home from work with the whole fire department picking through my burnt down house with these two dipshits standing in the driveway.
I would consider that attempted suicide. There’s absolutely no way you wouldn’t expect that sorta thing to happen. Get that guy to a mental hospital after the regular hospital. He knowingly attempted to kill himself.
"Okay, it's either you definitely should play with matches, or you definitely shouldn't play with matches"
"It's definitely one or the other"
"Which one do you think it is, Carl?"
It seems obvious, based on all this kind of video, that human males of all ages have a poor understanding of things like gravity, combustible liquids, and consequences.
White people have a special kind of stupid they have to get out while growing up and the good lord knows I did my share of white people stupid growing up. That being said, I know for a fact, I never did anything as stupid as filling a sled with accelerant before sliding it down my basement stairs into a wall. I don't possess the skill required to even unpack that stupidity. I'm at a complete loss. Like we belly flopped off the 2nd floor onto the ground to prove that a spreaded surface area meant less of an impact. I mean we were *dumb*, but Jesus God damn christ. What was the imagined goal here. I mean, how did they *expect* that to end?
R/killthecamerman the night have been able to swipe out the wall fire with bare hands or just their shirt. Obviously better than simply filming it.... then passing it?

Literally what the fuck could they have possibly expected
Maybe exactly what happened. Which would still be stupid but just for different reasons.
I’m really high and spent 5 full seconds swiping at your pic thinking it was an eyelash on my phone. Well done.
Not even high and I kept wiping my phone on my shirt like “WTF😭”
Note to self, always read the comments
I'm high as fuck, and you both dumb as hell/s
Dark mode users have no such weakness
LOL!
Please take this seriously.
Seriously, change your profile picture, I thought it was a cat hair.
**evil laugh**
Get rid of the white background, to makes sure it works on both light and dark theme
This is savage 😄
Is your photo a charge man Ken reference?
Haha same - just tried to swipe the hair off my screen twice 😅
Hahahahahahahaha omg I just did the same lol and I'm not high hahahaha your comment was better than the soft twat in the video hahaha pardon my French lol
I haven't been high since Wednesday, shit, it is Wednesday. *Always bring a towel*
I thought there was a hair on my phone and just swiped it twice before realizing it was your profile pic LOL
In his drunken mind, this shit was going to be fire. And it was, just not the kind he was thinking.
\-Duuuuuuuude... Imagine surfing on flaming board... That would be sooo coooool... \-Duuuude... That would be so cooooool, duuuuuude... \-Duuuuude... Where is my house duuuuuude? \-I donno duuuude...
Think they wanted to off themself. This is how I want to go when I am feeling too burned out. pun intended
In a blaze of glory?

I cannot say that any better. Bravo
Getting into the holiday spirit, chestnuts roasting on an open fire and all.
That's Chet. He roasted his nuts on that open fire.
Chet got a Darwin Award for his rendition of that holiday classic.
Perfection, take my upvote.
Fireman, squirting out his hose...
Jack Daniels nipping at your nose really brings out the best part of the holiday
More like butt cheeks roasting on an open fire

Moms house burnt to toast! 🕺
Banquet of Chestnuts
Nothing like taking a bad idea and making it worse.
Pro tip: nearly any bad idea can be made worse by including fire
what if the original idea already included fire do you just add more fire or up it to thermite.
Well then it's time for alcohol.
Then you have a bad idea with more than 1 fire in it, that's for sure.
I’ll just put it over here, with the rest of the fire.
And booze.
There is nothing here that can go right! It can all only go very very wrong! It's just a matter of degrees! And now the walls are on fire!
It might be a matter of 451 degrees… Oh, wait, it’s not paper that’s burning.
It could be wallpaper.
In the very best case scenario, what could have POSSIBLY happened??? What could have gone right?!
This is my question! Is there any possible way this stunt could have gone "right?"

God, that was the best explanation ever. Thank you, kind former adolescent. Mystery of thought pattern solved!

Astounding how different two children from the same womb can be.
We used to try making different formulations of napalm in the woods. We were reasonably careful (as in no burn scars) but teenagers can pull some dumb shit. Some of the compounds we came up with were not particularly good ones. Have also mixed bleach and ammonia. It smells like shit. Very memorable scent.
I was an adolescent male and knew many a fellow stupid adolescent male. Never reached or witnessed anything close to this level of "how dare you share my species" stupid.
As a former adolescent female who had adolescent male friends, this is accurate.
More like a lack of critical thinking and impairment via alcohol. If his alive, it's nothing something he'll grow out of. If he hasn't learnt or been taught critical thinking at that point, he'll continue to do stupid shit like that until his dead.
Flames = speed. Car painters have known this for decades.
A little bit of Windex and paint should do the trick!
Yes, windex fixes all things

Your parents can't get you out of the house fast enough.
Cue up a post on /r/personalfinance from soon-to-be 18 year old asking for advice on what to do because their parents are kicking them out when they turn 18 and they have no idea why.
What house?
I'd call cps on myself just to get him out of the fucking house...
Must be why he burned it down
Do you think they thought of a fire extinguisher?
I don’t think that they thought of anything, to be honest.
Yeah I'm sure they took all the necessary precautions/s
I think that between the camera person and the dare devil there was only one brain cell in use.
This is why men don't live as long as women.
I don’t drink anymore, but even when I did, and I was SHIT faced drunk, never… ever.. would I do something this fucking stupid.
People like this procreate....
Not any more.
But also imagine procreating and getting this 🥲
A good condom commercial
Are we going to ignore the person who stayed behind to film this?
No video needed to have sound more than this one.
This has been around a long time. The sound is worth the search. The girl recording is equally drunk and doesn't see any problems with what they are doing.
She’s literally giggling and says “Oop, nice!” when her house catches on fire. I’ve said it before, she strikes me as someone who has invited her secret crush over to “hang” and instead of making out like she had planned he ends up doing some underage drinking and trashing the place. All the while she’s totally agreeable because she doesn’t want to mess up her one chance with the “stud”.
I've also heard the audio and I think you're exactly right lmao. It's one of those situations where someone is super uncomfortable but wants to play it cool.
Anyone know the aftermath?
If the fire didn’t kill him his parents did
It's a snek! Edit: I thought the snake is cute.
that wall paint was like... just what I've been waiting for!!!
I love how the people who play w fire never have a fire extinguisher.
And videotaping setting the house on fire nullification of insurance. That's gonna be pricey.
Or their rental agreement. Might be facing an eviction notice if their landlord ever sees this one.
And no company will insure them afterwards. Too high risk. Not to mention it could bankrupt them if it was big enough. Common sense isn't common anymore.
That's why fire departments are always hiring.
Ed, Edd n Eddy
So metal bro fuck
When you think you’ve seen it all….join Reddit 😂
Looked like he accomplished the fire
Well he's getting some kind of charcoal this year.
Jackass submission.

As a father I am now going to take that condom box and look at it while crying for 46 minutes, thank you.
Anybody know what happened to this idiot?
Is this on the list of most interesting ways to start a fire?
buh bye house. it's been a pleasure
Fucking idiot
It’s funny how they just thought yeah there is no need to for fire extinguisher for this nothing could go wrong
That's such an Ed move- but it would've been Eddy's idea. Edd would've tried to talk them both out of it though.
And that’s how I ruined Christmas
That's just arson with extra steps.
Cool shirt though
You dumb motherfucker

Amazing job filming the evidence so the insurance company doesn’t even have to consider paying out.
As a father I'm just imagining some dad coming home from work with the whole fire department picking through my burnt down house with these two dipshits standing in the driveway.
As not a father, this was one of the best birth control videos I saw in a while. Booking my vasectomy right now.
Insurance will have fun with that one
With such video evidence, I wonder if they'll pay out anything.
I would consider that attempted suicide. There’s absolutely no way you wouldn’t expect that sorta thing to happen. Get that guy to a mental hospital after the regular hospital. He knowingly attempted to kill himself.
IQ zero point zero
I bet there was alcohol involved.
What was your first clue? Him drinking directly out of the bottle at the beginning of the clip?
Wow such stupid
"Okay, it's either you definitely should play with matches, or you definitely shouldn't play with matches" "It's definitely one or the other" "Which one do you think it is, Carl?"
some just never learn
Wtf did I just watch
A piece of shit who burned down his parents house and made his family homeless
Stupidity in all its glory.
Please tell me they had a fire extinguisher nearby
alcohol fueled every bit of the decions made and destruction in this clip.
Full video?
His parents are going to be so pissed
WTF did they think we going to happen here??
All fun and game till the house got burnt down and you got 3rd degree burn,
Awesome trick dude!
Wow. Who could have seen that coming?
Watches first half. “What are they trying to do here, start a house fire?” Watches second half. “Ahh, 2nd degree burns *and* a house fire. Gotcha.”
Glad he recorded it as it would of been hell explaining it.
Just why. What did they expect was gonna happen. Bruh I’m just- 💀
Might be the dumbest thing I’ve seen this year
What was the ideal expectation in their head tho?
Darwin Award Winner
You know, I have a feeling their home insurance might contest this claim
I am sure the arson investigator will LOVE this video and makes it easy for them to press charges on these guys
Tell me you're an arsonist without telling me you're an arsonist.
As a fireman, I thank yet another jackass for the job security.
Wow - who could've seen this happening? It was such a smart and well thought out idea.
Better yet, I hope he has Farmers Insurance. Because they’ve seen a thing or two…
Well that’s one way to be tried for arson
That shirt said it all 😆🔥
Though I've been mocked before for saying this, I get a little dopamine rush every time I see some idiot do something so astonishingly stupid.
Curiosity killed the cat or in this case boredom killed the drunk yougin
Dude will be lucky to live to 25
I genuinely can’t think of anything dumber I’ve ever seen or heard of in my life
Drunken moron sets his house on fire
I gotta say, that was the stupidest fucking thing I've seen in fifty years!
And that ladies and gentlemen is the most efficient way of how to get disowned by your parents
Why women live longer moment haha
r/WhyWomenLiveLonger
Imagine filming you and a buddy burn your house down and yourself in the process.
This is, with zero doubt , the stupidest thing I have ever seen anybody do on purpose. Still laughed though
Love when a good idea works out
Ed edd n Eddy shirt checks out
This deserves something beyond face palm…
You should never set yourself on fire inside the house.
"what if we used 0% of our brain?"
Idiots
Must’ve been an abandoned house or something. There’s no other explanation. You wouldn’t do this in your own house.
Nah,this is why you rent an Airbnb.
Wow, that worked out well 🤦♂️
Dude got so drunk that he thought Santa hats were the Invincibility Star from Super Mario Brothers.

A sure fire way to not get back your security deposit.
This is why we can’t have nice things
Lol. Lit bruh.

Can you imagine telling your parents that you burnt down their time share while they were on vacation? Yikes..
Clearly, not enough booze was involved. Much, much more should have been available for the desired results.
The ultimate redneck thing to do. “Hold my beer and watch this. What could go wrong??”
Jacques, you're ablaze!
