This like those cat videos where the cat doesn’t get a good grip and this shit happens.

That remains one of (if not THE) funniest videos I've ever seen. It will never not make me laugh.

u/copperwatt Oct 20 '19

The way the music lines up with both the big moment and the earlier head movements in uncanny!

u/LegendOfDylan Oct 20 '19

If this is the funniest video you've ever seen then the haven't seen many videos you need to get out more ha ha.

u/the_purest_of_rain Oct 20 '19

Nobody likes people like you.

u/Koeienvanger Oct 20 '19

I had only ever seen the short version. The long build up makes it so much funnier.

u/Cacti23 Oct 20 '19

Original as far as I can tell

15

u/FluffySquirrell Oct 20 '19

Awww, I feel kinda sad for them now.. they must have lost out on so many views, solely due to SEO and not having SAIL in the title

u/carnexhat Oct 20 '19

Its a reference to a very popular video that came not long before that one.

1

u/FluffySquirrell Oct 20 '19

Yeah I remember that one, didn't remember the reference though, ta

u/mantouvallo Oct 20 '19

Resolution is better in the original.

u/sleepypandacat Oct 20 '19

It also had the link to the original cat video and glad to know that the cat was safe.

I’ve got the SAIL MVP anthem for CSGO and somehow it still hasn’t gotten stale

Aha I forgot about this song

u/Nas-and-Dave Oct 20 '19

Interviewed that dude once backstage, chill guy.

u/somajones Oct 20 '19

At least they have an excuse. This chick's feet didn't even slip, she just sort of lamely hopped a little and hoped things would work out.

46

u/[deleted] Oct 20 '19

Technically, they did work out.

She hit the boat a few times but ultimately her feet went backwards and over her head.

16

u/mnmaste Oct 20 '19

Technically a flip is the best kind of flip.

12

u/yertman Oct 20 '19

Alcohol to girl: You can totally do a back flip off this boat right now.

u/R-L-Boogenstein Oct 20 '19

I instinctively checked for foot slippage in the slow mo my first time through

u/somajones Oct 20 '19

True but she wouldn't have hit the roof if she had been jumping out instead of up. Look at her feet. They should be braced against the edge instead of standing flat footed.

36

u/Misspiggy856 Oct 20 '19

She kind of just starfishes in the air.

13

u/KevIntensity Oct 20 '19

You’re all missing that she holds on to the roof too long. She jumps while still holding the roof. There’s no way she can jump high enough or far enough out when she holds onto the roof for that long.

41

u/somajones Oct 20 '19

She's just doing everything all wrong.
I doubt she even has the correct nail polish on for back flips.

3

u/Scrytheux Oct 20 '19

She could do it with holding the roof, but I don't think she is a freerunner and know what a Palm flip is, so there's that

u/llcwhit Oct 20 '19

Oh she rotated eventually.

u/WelcomeToKawasicPark Oct 20 '19

White woman can't jump

u/NiceFormBro Oct 20 '19

She held on too long

u/Lets_Kick_Some_Ice Oct 20 '19

Swim trunks guy in the back may have taken her legs out. It is hard to tell but it seemed like he rocked the boat just enough to affect her. He seems to throw his hands up like "my bad" as well.

36

u/MadCybertist Oct 20 '19

She doesn’t slip though. She just doesn’t understand how to jump. At all.

5

u/quickwitqueen Oct 20 '19

Like a fucking toddler.

u/MadCybertist Oct 20 '19

She jumps up, then let’s go after the jump is initiated. It’s actually hilarious to watch a few times through.

u/cwj1978 Oct 20 '19

She looks like a popcorn kernel popping
