I assume this jackass was somewhere in Indiana, based upon the teams he's talking about. Someone should have probably given this guy a screen test, before putting him on live TV. He also should have figured out that complete stagefright isn't conducive to being on live tv! What a disaster!

Damn! And now it's all over the internet. He may as well apply at the lumber yard.

Wow what a total train wreck!! I wonder if they canned him right after that or gave him a second chance. I was embarrassed for the guy....

Damn that was painful!

DOH !!!

;^)

It's blocked here. Is this the "boom goes the dynamite" guy?

Ouch, ouch, OUCH!

"Passes it to the man?" And the final was 63-61? WTF?

I forgot the lyrics to "Crazy Train" once, but there were only 50 people at the club that night, and we sucked donkey balls anyway.

This is soooo painful!

I love the pause..."Ummmm...thanks a lot for that look into sports, Brad." Such sincerity.

"Um...yeah."

Wow, where the hell did you find this, John? We need to go pound some beers before you move back to Boston.

Yep, that's the one.

I remember seeing this.

I paid too much attention to the fact that his right ear sticks out more than his left, lol.

Yeah, a good gust of wind and that dude is flying. Those ears are way out there.

That was the absolute highlight of the clip! I'm not sure how those news anchors even held it together. I pissed myself when they were thanking the guy. They were probably just thankful that his segment had mercifully come to an end! That is easily the most uncomfortable clip I've ever seen of someone on TV!

Just some of the funny shit I always seem to stumble upon when surfing the net! It was welcomed humor to my day

Do you live in the Confederate States of America, also? If you're stuck in the south along with me...you have my condolences. I'm sad to report that EVERY joke I've ever heard about the south has proven to be 100% accurate

50 people? thats a pretty good crowd..

My first and only live rock show I've done yet....

We were doing a five-song set... very first song was this punkish rocker called "Wake Up Carl" and I freaked out and started to flub a bassline during the first verse. I compensated by launching into the first rhythm that came to my fingers: That of Separate Ways!

The "dun dun dudda, dun da dudda-dudda-duh" rhythm seemed to work with the song better than the churning "duddahduddahduddahduddahduddahduddah" line I had to play, so I switched off to the SW rhythm the rest of the song...

Completely screwed it up, really, but the singer loved it and high-fived me, said it was my "best line ever" and that I nailed the song... LOL!

This was the same show where I was doing a bass solo, then forgot where I was going with it and ended up copping the guitar intro to Bob Seger's "Mainstreet"... again, a massive screw-up, again, they loved it....

I agree. I'm surprised I did as well as I did my first time, all things considered, though... I may have messed up a few dozen times but it was never anything that detracted from the song or made people wince, thankfully. Surprised that my spur-of-the-moment decision to do a very elementary slap 'n' pop figure in "Jumpin' Jack Flash" didn't make people go WTF.. but then again most of them weren't paying attention, or were drunk...

Alright...enough...we can see you're slowly sneaking your "performance" banter into the forum now, seems you're about to get enough confidence to put one of you vids out there for the masses to see. Just do it and let's see what you can do. Do it now!
