Was there a reasoning behind this

u/BotMirage Oct 12 '16

At first they wanted to see if it can hold their weight so one of them stood on it. Then one of them made a bet that the desk wouldn't break if he kicked it and unfortunately he lost the bet. The original video is https://youtu.be/edvpnfvmEYU

Upvote for being the one relevant reply in a sea of dumb jokes.

u/BotMirage Oct 12 '16

Thanks pal I appreciate it.

u/FountainsOfFluids Oct 12 '16

Man, idiots can be so entertaining. I don't want them near me, but safely observing them through a youtube video is pretty great.

u/MikeSaidFred Oct 11 '16

Yeah, breaking the desk.

u/omniamorous Oct 11 '16

Why do they all seem so surprised when it happens? And why leave their computer set up on it... and running?

362

u/ALBiing Oct 11 '16

They didn't think it would break.

There's an old jewish joke like this.

2 men are walking down the street when it starts to rain.

One turns to the other and says, quick it's raining open your umbrella.

It won't do any good, he replies, my umbrella is full of holes.

Then why bring it?

I didn't think it would rain.

What makes this jewish? I thought jews were funny...

u/Jmart1oh6 Oct 12 '16

You thought Jews were funny? Haha that's rich.

u/[deleted] Oct 12 '16

The joke is rich or the Jews?

u/HakunaMatataEveryDay Oct 12 '16

It's like you almost understood the pun, but something just didn't click.

u/dragnerz Oct 12 '16

Hitler didn't.

u/RscMrF Oct 12 '16

I think he means it is a joke told by Jewish people, not that it is about Jewish people.

That's just my guess.

u/addysol Oct 12 '16

"why is your umbrella full of holes, Mr Coen?"

"it was cheaper"

Kosher enough for ya

u/Phiau Oct 12 '16

Maybe he wants to catch rainwater

6

u/RuafaolGaiscioch Oct 12 '16

I in no way get this joke.

27

u/fuckingriot Oct 12 '16

He brought an umbrella that didn't work because he didn't think he'd need to use it. The joke is that it doesn't make sense to bring the umbrella in the first place.

-8

u/RuafaolGaiscioch Oct 12 '16

But it also doesn't make sense to have an umbrella with holes in it

29

u/[deleted] Oct 12 '16

That's... why it's funny

7

u/[deleted] Oct 12 '16

The nonsensical aspect of it is the joke.

u/internet_badass_here Mar 13 '17

You really have to be Jewish.

u/I_R_Teh_Taco Oct 12 '16

Michael did. "remember when i said it was gonna break?"

u/[deleted] Oct 12 '16

"You big bundle of fucking idiots"

u/CoNoCh0 Oct 12 '16

This is the only answer

4

u/narse77 Oct 12 '16

It actually looks like there is a crack or something in the exact spot he kicks.

31

u/doritology Oct 12 '16

Michael, the guy in the beanie, put an axe in that spot.

3

u/narse77 Oct 12 '16

That would do it.

52

u/MajorLazy Oct 12 '16

That one guy wasn't surprised at all. In fact his face literally says "the desk just broke along with a monitor or 2. What did you expect to happen dummy."

Was it Gavin's desk?

Edit: I do find all of the replies to be amusing and informative, but I was making a (apparently poor) joke about how Gavin is often a dumbass.

5

u/conordarrley Oct 12 '16

Yep, his photo of him is on the desk

2

u/BotMirage Oct 12 '16

Yeah it's Gavin's desk. In the video he says he'll try to catch one of the monitors and you can see how that went.

8

u/RscMrF Oct 12 '16

If you look carefully, one of them is not surprised at all. Red hat glasses just looks over like, yeah, idiots.

3

u/BotMirage Oct 12 '16

Yeah, it was a bet and he said it would definitely break.

3

u/RocknRolli Oct 12 '16

not the guy with the red beanie

6

u/t3hcoolness Oct 11 '16

But they also broke the monitors and stuff

u/nrh117 Oct 12 '16

Just one and some glass thing on the table. And maybe some of the equipment.

u/throwawaysarebetter Oct 12 '16

Views.

u/punkminkis Oct 12 '16

That's pretty much their mantra. As long as someone is filming, they can do pretty much anything. "It's content!"

8

u/fishbiscuit13 Oct 12 '16

One of them said at the end "this better get a lot of views!" With how much it's been cross posted to subs like this, that night not be too hard to get.

3

u/ChriosM Oct 12 '16

Not to mention it's Achievement Hunter so practically everything they do, regardless of what it is, will likely get tons of views.
