Two Dweebs Hit An Indestructible Camera With A Wiffle Bat


At first glance this video looks like a couple of weird guys wearing metrosexual hats and matching vests (cute, right?) trying to perform what they feel is a legitimate science experiment. Well...I guess the deductive first glance works for this video. These guys have managed to take a $300 dollar video camera (GoPro Hero 2) and beat it with something that costs 1% of the cost of the camera (a wiffle bat). The due runs a site called gizmoslip.com where you can watch more videos of them abusing technology. If you're interested they've also thrown the GoPro off a 6 story building and set a Kindle Fire on fire - how clever. Not really. Where these guys get the money to buy all these products is unknown. Why they do this is another fact that escapes me. I think the real question is why do these two grown men dress the way they do?

Oh Those Pre-Teens...


This must be their first boy-girl party. I remember my first girl-boy party. It was my 13th birthday party. Only one girl showed up. I never said it was a good boy-girl party, but since there was a girl there - it counts. Anyway I'm sure this party went through the usual motions where the guys stand in one area growing into their faces while the girls huddle on the opposite side of the room fiddling with their braces. The only thing that makes those awkward moments worse is when Will Smith's "Big Willie Style" is blaring from a boombox in the corner. So after the music is either changed or turned off the mingling finally begins. Among boys of varying heights we find David Holland - who apparently gallivants around parties without socks or a shirt.

It seems that a wiffleball bat can be summoned, seemingly from nowhere, in moments of sheer boredom to be used as an instrument of violence. Nothing breaks the ice at a party better than inflicting pain on someone using a yellow plastic bat! You can add this to the growing pile of intentionally hitting people with a wiffleball bat. I keep saying to myself that I've seen them all but soon enough another one is uploaded and I find myself wondering when everyone is going to realize that a wiffleball bat does, in fact, hurt quite a big when swung at full force upon someone's body. Why accept facts when you can hurt somebody, right?

I wonder if they used the chandelier as a piñata after everyone was tired of being hit?

Wifflebat Fight Club...seriously?

Yes you read right. G4's Attack of the Show has managed to take polluting the sport of wiffleball to a whole new level.
The first rule of Wifflebat Fight Club is that it's okay to televise Wifflebat Fight Club events.
The second rule of Wifflebat Fight Club is that you do not use actual Wiffle Bats (yellow bats).
The third rule of Wifflebat Fight Club is that although the bats we use couldn't possibly hurt we can still be pussies and wear protective head gear.
Why is this happening? I mean they're not even actually using the official Wiffle Ball bat. If you used the real bat that would probably sting quite a bit. It's thicker plastic and the hollow center isn't as big, thus less resistance when it hits the ball...or human flesh. That's why they work so well on pinatas. But these gigantic bats they use render the name of the club useless. Those big red bats are despised in purist Wiffleball counter-culture. They're called everything from "fag bats" to "Captain Caveman bats." Such a mockery of a good movie and a phenomenal book. Somewhere in Portland, Oregon Chuck Palahniuk is vomiting after watching this video. What's sad is that since Attack of the Show has such a following of gamers that this travesty of an activity is already spreading. 
Then there's this video. Stick with this one, it's worth it in the end. It appears that they had a choreographed nerdy Star Wars reenactment in mind but things went horribly wrong when rehearsal turned to improvisation. You'll see what I mean near the end of the video below.
