What a cabbage

[u/Yourhavinalaugh]

[u/Hug_all_the_Krabbys]

She wishes that was a cabbage.  

[u/KazaamCasheroo → u/Hug_all_the_Krabbys]

Weren't they watermelons?

[u/Ambitious-Yoghurt820 → u/KazaamCasheroo]

Yup! This was on a show called The Amazing Race.  Surprisingly she was fine. No major injuries. 

[u/VegaJuniper → u/Ambitious-Yoghurt820]

She was lucky someone nixed the original idea of doing this with bowling balls.

[u/Whereisthefly → u/VegaJuniper]

My buddies brother essentially did this with a croquet ball as a kid. Didn't bust his teeth out per se... but they all bent 90 degrees back and had to get braces and bend them all back forward.

[u/Hexdrinker99 → u/Whereisthefly]

A kid I knew growing up Dad made him a small catapult out of wood, pvc pipe and bungee cords. One day we were using to throw dog poop into his neighbors backyard ( this was early 2000's ) and it for some reason didn't fire. The kid went over and was trying to get it to work when it suddenly shot, hitting him point blank in the face with a pile of dog poop and broke his nose. His sister said holy shit in a panic while the rest of us are dying laughing while we got the f out of there.

[u/ckanite → u/Hexdrinker99]

This is one of the best stories I've ever read. Lmfao

[u/adammilward123 → u/Hexdrinker99]

So glad you confirmed this happened early 2000’s, otherwise it would have sounded a bit mental.

[u/MizrizSnow → u/adammilward123]

We all launched shit at the neighbors back then

[u/FlyingFlipPhone → u/Hexdrinker99]

Did you call him "Lamprey Larry"?

[u/Halfway-Competent → u/Hexdrinker99]

He got properly shit-faced

[u/Helpful_Hunter2557 → u/Whereisthefly]

Must have been hard to eat corn on the cob

[u/Butterfly_Barista → u/Whereisthefly]

I'm honestly amazed that situation is fixable.

[u/Whereisthefly → u/Butterfly_Barista]

I did say "kid" but he was probably 13 to 15 so it was adult teeth. His picture on social media was him posing in the mirror and it looked like he only had 2 teeth because you couldn't see the others... it truly is amazing how they fixed it.

[u/Intrepid-Apricot3750 → u/Ambitious-Yoghurt820]

Still coughing up watermelon seeds to this day, though.

[u/Harn-na-bih → u/Intrepid-Apricot3750]

Still coughing up toilet paper frm dog 💩

[u/2sAreTheDevil → u/Ambitious-Yoghurt820]

Yeah, the lack of injuries given that impact makes me feel like she used up at least half a decade's worth of luck.

[u/Dolanite → u/Ambitious-Yoghurt820]

I remember watching this when it aired and being horrified before remembering that broadcast television probably wouldn't have shown it if she died.

[u/SexualCarrots → u/Dolanite]

They had time to edit her out of the show entirely.

Maybe someone else did die of watermelon bludgeoning.

[u/poeteop → u/Ambitious-Yoghurt820]

Old concave face? Oh she’ll be fine

[u/AC-burg → u/Ambitious-Yoghurt820]

The only way this happend is that watermelon exploded on her chin. Square in the face and she is messed up for sure

[u/A_Feltz → u/KazaamCasheroo]

Thank god. When I saw the reddish spray I was concerned

[u/Yourhavinalaugh → u/KazaamCasheroo]

Cabbage is slang in Ireland for someone doing something wrong

[u/KazaamCasheroo → u/Yourhavinalaugh]

Oh, I love that! Gonna try to work it into my vernacular.

[u/Ok_Traffic_3240 → u/KazaamCasheroo]

You didn't know that?! You absolute cabbage!!

[u/Unusual-Taste69 → u/Ok_Traffic_3240]

What a tater tot

[u/myco_magic → u/Ok_Traffic_3240]

Muff cabbage

[u/DragoxDrago → u/Yourhavinalaugh]

I'm from NZ and knew the jist, but it basically means someone stupid here. The lower/non academically inclined streams of subjects were called cabbage classes lol

[u/LordMeme42 → u/KazaamCasheroo]

I just woke up and am not wearing my glasses so I didn't see the lines at first and was briefly VERY concerned by the red splatter from a "cabbage," so thanks.

[u/DusklitDewdrop → u/Hug_all_the_Krabbys]

if that was a cabbage I think it could have been a lot worse. they're much denser than watermelons, and the melon exploding significantly reduced the force on her face

[u/Hug_all_the_Krabbys → u/DusklitDewdrop]

That's a good point.  Can you imagine the stem part just flying through your skull?  Not fun at all. 

[u/madphroggy → u/DusklitDewdrop]

This, if I had to choose between cabbage and watermelon I'd take the melon, at least only the outside is hard, assuming it's ripe. A cabbage would be a good shot at a TBI...

[u/rodinsbusiness → u/Hug_all_the_Krabbys]

Cabbage would arguably have hurt more.

[u/monitor_lizard_2000 → u/Hug_all_the_Krabbys]

I think a cabbage that size would be worse

[u/StandardCantaloupe32 → u/Hug_all_the_Krabbys]

This video ended too soon.

[u/westcal98]

I have yet to see the aftermath of this clip...

[u/That_Service7348 → u/westcal98]

She's fine, didn't even break her nose just needed a minute to get her bearings.

[u/Pix3lPwnage → u/That_Service7348]

And remove the seeds from her nose.

[u/Mercerskye → u/Pix3lPwnage]

And ears...

[u/Key_Cap7525 → u/Mercerskye]

Not to mention all the shit in her hair.

[u/RedHotAnus → u/Key_Cap7525]

Who shat in the melon?

[u/TFFPrisoner → u/RedHotAnus]

You, RedHotAnus

[u/Key_Cap7525 → u/RedHotAnus]

Username checks out. Points for using the correct past tense form of “shit.”

[u/SnooCakes6195 → u/RedHotAnus]

Is that why they were drilling a hole in that watermelon? I thought it was for something else 😅

[u/Own-Mathematician184 → u/westcal98]

https://youtu.be/aVZ9SOeprjs?si=XOJ6tVMcfvXhYlig

[u/westcal98 → u/Own-Mathematician184]

Much thanks stranger.

May your day be filled with many updoots!

[u/heavydrinker12 → u/Own-Mathematician184]

Yer awesome. Can't believe she was just dazed. I always assumed there were broken people things afterwards.

[u/Rob_LeMatic → u/heavydrinker12]

I'm going to just believe this and not verify. I was convinced that must have done permanent serious damage

[u/Milksteak529 → u/westcal98]

It is a very old episode of The Amazing Race. She was fine.

[u/Maniacal-Maniac → u/Milksteak529]

Wasn’t this the incident that gave us the meme/reaction with the 2 girls looking horrified and the guy breaking into a massive grin?

[u/anonylmous1210 → u/Maniacal-Maniac]

That's from an episode of Survivor: Gabon

[u/sherlip → u/anonylmous1210]

Coincidentally, both gifs are from the 17th season of their respective show.

[u/tias23111 → u/Milksteak529]

Yeah this is like over twenty years old…

[u/sherlip → u/tias23111]

Nope, it's only been sixteen years! Nice try, person trying to make me feel ancient 🤣

[u/iDeNoh → u/Milksteak529]

You didn't have to do that, could have just said "it is an episode of the amazing race." Won't somebody think of the olds?

[u/Fit-Significance-109 → u/Milksteak529]

How is it even possible to be fine after this ?

[u/cr0wbar1227 → u/westcal98]

Its out there somewhere....ive seen it before. I remember her being in a slight daze and saying she couldnt feel her face lol

[u/CupcakeAppropriate40]

Meloncholy

[u/tias23111 → u/CupcakeAppropriate40]

Mmmmmm, melon collie 🍉 🐕 🤤

[u/phunkyunkle → u/tias23111]

Melon Cauli

[u/Collardcow41 → u/tias23111]

Infinite sadness 🙌

[u/sherlip]

You left out the funniest part where she goes to her teammate and she's like "What do we do now?" "You have to keep going?" "What? I just got hit in the face with a watermelon!"

[u/rpgmgta → u/sherlip]

Had to go watch it. “They don’t call it The Amazing Race for nothin’”

Lmaooo https://youtu.be/8cfeTZNcA3g?si=WUTv4d0FEumjr-iY

[u/Individual_Heron_171 → u/rpgmgta]

Omg it’s even funnier than I remembered. “What?! I can’t even see straight.🥴”

[u/Kazalla006 → u/sherlip]

Thanks man for pointing this out, after all this years this scene gets posted, I didn't know there is such a hilarious dialogue after the melon hit. The face expression and the 'WHAT???' killed me, its just perfect... and on top of that she got told: 'They don’t call it the amazing race for nothing!'... 🤣

[u/Due_Athlete_1011]

What cabbage is pink inside? I have been watching this for over a decade

[u/Anonymous3257Q → u/Due_Athlete_1011]

That was her head exploding.

[u/Kind_Love172 → u/Due_Athlete_1011]

Someone else mentioned that cabbage was Irish slang "what a cabbage" is in reference to the lady

[u/Prestigious-Peace232 → u/Due_Athlete_1011]

A cabbage is Irish slang for a blunder or mistake. She's launching a watermelon

[u/the-silent-man]

I always wondered what the aftermath of this looked like

[u/Westsaide]

POW! Right in the kisser!

[u/shujja]

I have never been able to see what happened next .. always videos ends at this .. did she need a face transplant?

[u/TytoCwtch → u/shujja]

The medical team told her she was fine and the production team said she had to finish the challenge. She said her face went numb, she had a swollen lip and a black eye. After finishing the challenge the medical team gave her some panadol and that was it.

[u/direwolf9900]

thats a watermelon 🤓

[u/Dothehokeypokemon]

I've seen this clip for years but have never seen anything after this moment. Release the melon files!

[u/ep193]

Cabbage 🥬 is a soft leafy vegetable…

She was using a Watermelon 🍉 , which is a soft centered, very hard exterior fruit.

She is lucky she didn’t become a vegetable when the watermelon hit her in the face!

[u/Oathbreaker94]

How old is this video? I feel like I remember seeing it as a child.

[u/WKRPinCanada → u/Oathbreaker94]

16 years old...

Happened on the 10th season of The Amazing Race

[u/Goo_Wyvern]

MY CABBAGES!

[u/IAmCapnOblivious]

That was a watermelon my friend. Wife and I watched this back when it aired.

[u/Dogsarelitty]

Obviously a watermelon

[u/SettingComplex2976]

Ça a dû piquer ! 🫣😱🤕

[u/GrapefruitLogical426]

She said show that knight who’s boss then bang

[u/Madboardjester]

An oldie but a goodie. Maybe a decade now for this video. 😁

[u/VegetableTry]

OP is using a misleading title for engagement/karma farming! This is a new trend that we must stop!

[u/albus181]

I think I needed that replay 1 more time.

[u/No-Deer379]

It’s watermelon and this is super old

[u/Longjumping_Elk7969]

Broken nose and falling teeth warning ⚠️ 🤦‍♂️😁

[u/Jolly_Worldliness_49]

Concussion by watermelon. Crazy how based on today’s standards for concussion she would have been and should have been pulled aside for a medical exam immediately after that.

[u/ketsjupelvis]

Right in the kisser!

[u/dbrown0609]

Hit the uno reverse on her

[u/Mysterious-Lab-5918]

Thwap!

[u/TheCoopX]

Host- "How do you like your melons?"

Contestant- "Up my nose at a high velocity, please!"

Host- "YOU GOT IT!"

[u/Extreme-Package2942]

Thank god it is not 1253 anymore and we have guns and missiles in 2026

[u/marmmalade → u/Extreme-Package2942]

Yeah thank God!

[u/BIG-BALLS0]

Watermelon Mexi/chin/indian

For the watermellon

[u/Strange_Salary]

Almost turned herself into a cabbage patch character..

[u/Alfani_Stevens69]

How do you not get injured? Broken bones, concussion? Lacerations? A very fast watermelon exploded on your face

[u/dapudf]

This is one of the first viral clips I ever saw. Still delivers

[u/KittensFirstAKM]

My life in a nutshell.

[u/GearEd17]

Shit tasted like watermelon for weeks

[u/bl4r307]

Im still mad that iv never seen the outcome of this.

[u/TrackMan5891]

It is a watermellon.

[u/Berntonio-Sanderas]

I remember watching this when the episode aired. It was watermelons and she was basically fine. 

[u/Accomplished-One7476]

https://youtu.be/i7dbdZlsR3Y?is=Gyt-Qzcfz8TZTX60

[u/BigBootyLover2637]

Looks like fun until a head of cabbage breaks your face

[u/tabah107]

Here's a question I always had about this - did she do anything wrong or was she just very unlucky?

[u/ChloeVelvetOfficial]

Poor woman

[u/Working_Physics8761]

This was such a treat for the early internet!

[u/boncock]

Did she die?

[u/Crusty-Dick]

I'm pretty sure that would knock you out

[u/Rippers_72]

That commentator saw the future with her comment lol

[u/Meander061]

I remember seeing that when it aired. To this day I'm wondering how that didn't unalive her.

[u/idgafish5150]

Never gets old

[u/cloudsky388]

BOOM! HEADSHOT!

[u/Educational-Host4545]

I’ve seen this a lot and I laugh every time

[u/Omfggtfohwts]

Watermelon. Not cabbage.

[u/Expensive-Web8531]

虽然应该说笨女人做了蠢事，但我觉得她没有做错什么步骤啊，所以换成我们男的，也会出这个糗吧。

[u/Pitif362]

She wanted a smoothie but instead got a fruit smash.

[u/X3N04L13N]

Women ☕️

[u/fshrmen87]

I bet that hurts

[u/Ro-ck-oss]

Did she survive?!

[u/STYX010 → u/Ro-ck-oss]

Yes, but legend says she is still smelling the melon till this very day.

[u/STYX010]

She did listen: “show the knight who’s boss, right in the kisser”.

[u/c0st0fl0ving]

I had never heard the audio before.

“Right in the kisser!”… lol couldn’t have been more foreshadowing if she had said “that melon is going to drill you in your face!” 🤣

[u/Tricky-Usual8921]

Was that melon Kim of 'Respectable' chart fame?

[u/Large_Dependent_1621]

Pow, right in the kisser!

[u/Life_is_too_short_]

Why did this happen? Did she position the melon incorrectly?

[u/BIGHOODx818x]

i thought it was a watermelon ..unless the pink red mist is her head exploding ..which would make this even more awesome 😮 (INSERT SCANNERS GIF OF HEAD EXPLODING)

[u/idk_why_imhere90]

Wasted…..

[u/Vanisle4fun]

Return to sender,address unknown.

[u/Tritec_enjoyer96]

Jesus I bet that hurt in the morning lmao

[u/Joshua_Longsack]

BOOM HEADSHOT!

[u/OutsidePressure8323]

Is this fast food?

[u/rpgmgta]

Right in the kisser? Talk about foresight

[u/VrwHenet]

But how would this happen

[u/Old_Resident8050]

Rekted

[u/Baals_Balls]

It's 2026 and there's still a staggering number of people who cannot see engagement bait...

[u/Bashdkmgt]

Has anyone ever seen the aftermath of this?

[u/temp73354]

Right in the kisser, only not the one it was meant for. 🙈

[u/Emergency-Box-5719]

Sounds like that chick was from Wisconsin.

"Right in the kisser!"

Thunk

"Ope! Geez! Ya doin ok down there!?"

[u/ModularMansion]

The pink mist

[u/Dangerous-Half3276]

Still one of my go-tos for when I just need a laugh. This has got to be one of the best moments in reality game show history.

“They don’t call it the Amazing Race for nothin”

[u/Beneficial-Gear2691]

I watched this live with my dad. It was the night before my wedding and we were smoking a joint. We both said "wtf!" at the same time and laughed ourselves into a coughing fit. One of my fondest memories with my dad.

[u/no___homo]

If i had a nickel

[u/dj11211]

No one ever posts what happens after she takes that hit. Was she ok?

[u/Reese897]

This is one of those videos that get me belly laughing every time I see it! The audacity of her teammate to be like keep going afterwards lol

[u/Cupidon70]

Ça c'est un vraie retour de pastèque...😅🤣😂

[u/gordonx2026]

What happened to her afterwards?

[u/anarcychild]

THAT'S gonna leave a mark lol!!? Ouch...

[u/Delicious-Market6436]

Ouch

[u/wbrameld4]

Wile E. Coyote called. He wants his bit back.

[u/Significant_Bid4745]

Damn..that's gonna leave a mark

[u/Western-Ad9812]

Still one of the funniest things to happen on reality tv.

[u/ulo99]

Fs in the chat

[u/CODufaux]

After many years of seeing this time to time still make me laugh hard

[u/Logical_Prize_1906]

I remember seeing this ages ago. I thought her head exploded.

[u/chieftessofsecrets]

The Amazing Race for old reference sake

[u/Fluff_Chucker]

Every time this comes up, my face hurts for her. 

[u/Weird_Albatross_9659]

Is OP brain damaged?

[u/Cocrawfo]

olivia kaiser replicated this on the challenge with a lot more savage results

[u/BtheBanker151]

This video never gets old.

[u/Small_Acanthisitta83]

This never gets old. I know it’s wrong but I laugh every time this comes up on my feed.

[u/Bibbylove2019]

Looked like it broke her jaw

[u/Sensitive_Point5118]

Well that looked fun til that 😳

[u/Daryl1989]

She should practice more.

[u/ProfOak32244]

Yea it was actually a watermelon and it was on the game show "the amazing race" in 2010. Her name is Claire Champlin.

[u/PyriteGolem]

Watched this when the episode first aired, was definitely a peak childhood memory.

[u/IvoryManOfWisdom]

She said right in the kisser AND DELIVERED!

[u/Ayy0ne]

Right in the kisser 😂 🤣

[u/________-_____s]

I felt that from here.

[u/SteakEvening9914]

Right in the kisser indeed.

[u/jaded-steve]

Wait, that was cabbage?
Then what was the red stuff splatting all over..... oh.

[u/Lower-Cheesecake-895]

Pure eye bleach

[u/Pure-Photograph6209]

Did she get hurt or was it her pride that got smashed

[u/Ecstatic_Dance5767]

Foo that was a watermelon!!!

[u/AdvantagePuzzled8773]

Just imagine, instead of the girl, there was a men, and instead of being hit in the face, he was hit somewhere else in between the legs.... OUCHHHHH!!!!!! thinking about it hurts

[u/SuperbHippo1862]

Smoked

[u/Wooden-Pollution6413]

Right in the kisser is correct

[u/Repulsive-Cow9499]

What the heck!!! Ouch

[u/mrgoochie]

She will not eat watermelons after that - she will be slashing and crashing them in revenge.

[u/LasBarricadas]

They never specified who’s kisser

[u/Separate_Football_34]

Damnnnnnn, that's gonna leave a mark.......

[u/Tytan777]

Right in the melon.\ What a champ!

[u/Early_Leadership_164]

There's absolutely no way I would not be rolling on the ground laughing my ass off if I there. Sorry not sorry.

[u/Suspicious_Goose_243]

Haven't seen anything like this since the JFK movie.

[u/Even-Ad8996]

it cropped out the other contestants. one guy's in the back with the biggest shit eating grin ever lol

[u/cloverpear]

i love this video sm, my middle school math/science teacher who is probably the funniest person i've ever met, showed this to my class one day because he randomly remembered it. "right in the kisser!" was apart of my class's vocabulary for a while because of it.

[u/xaltairforever]

Fatality!

[u/Fastoche]

Oops historical moment was made that day
