On 2 ……Hut…. Hut. See here John, from a defensive tackle position you should always keep your head up. The problem here is when you have to tackle a guy such as “The Wall” you gonna fall short…..and the official does not penailize for the encroachment.
This guy might have been driving past you at 60 a few minutes before.
How much booze did this clown chuck down? What was his blood alcohol level?
Lol. Great one. Anything can happen on the redneck news channel of Fox. These are the same people that voted for GW btw.
If you think this video is “hilarious” or “rich” like our buddy J. C. Dvorak obviously does then you have a problem.
Too many people get that drunk and try to drive.
Too many people have problems with alcohol addiction; it destroys families and takes lives.
Excessive alcohol use is the 3rd leading lifestyle-related cause of death for people in the United States each year (CDC 2002).
Alcohol-related motor vehicle crashes kill someone every 31 minutes and nonfatally injure someone every two minutes (NHTSA 2005).
In 2004, about 1.4 million drivers were arrested for driving under the influence of alcohol or narcotics (Department of Justice, 2004).
If you think the video is funny in any way then you should examine what you think is funny about it.
Or are you just laughing at it to avoid facing the feelings that the video should convey like pity, anger, sadness, or disgust?

Live a little dude, just because something is morally reprehensible to you, does not make it unfunny.
That’s the problem with posts like this. It may be humorous on a slap schtick level, then the comes along someone that had alcohol abuse destroy their lives or have taken love ones and friends. I can well sympathize with their feelings. This guy was a potential killer on the road, and I’m glad it turned out laughable. Just as easily couldn’t.
PcMonster, I’m sure there are also people who can never turn on The Tonight Show or similar fare, because comedians have a habit of finding humor in an otherwise very unfunny war we have going at the moment, a war that has ruined the lives of tens of thousands of families. I won’t tell you what you should find funny, but maybe humor even in the face of potentially tragic circumstances isn’t always the sign of a problem. Maybe we’re able to laugh because the video
(the abrupt end in #8 was caused by my bad HTML)
Maybe we’re able to laugh because the video wasn’t
(one more time before I give up)
Maybe we’re able to laugh because the video wasn’t taken in a hospital, chronicling injury or death the way it could have been.
I have to give the officer high marks for courtesy. Also, at the end of the video, there’s a fake radio request for spackle, but was the spackle to fix the damaged wall or to fill the drunk’s large butt crack? 😉
Killer on the road. Who did he kill? Jerk-offs on cells phones are just as dangerous apparently. Does anyone actually think this guy was travelling at more than 15 MPH? And he surely wasn’t going in a straight line. The reason we can laugh at this video (unless we are really stiffs!) is because it is seriously funny. But I do appreciate the input from the holier-than-thou, the moralists, the self-righteous stick-in-the-muds and the people who apparently have no sense of humor. The latter group concerns me the most by the way. They tend to be more dangerous than the drunk drivers.
Cant see any videos,
I aint linking/adding drivers/ or anything else.
Its a shame sites dont use the CORRECT standards that were created for the net, and that they wish to Log every person that hits there sites.
Me thinks JC “Doth Protest Too Much”
This one apparently is for you John:
Are you just laughing at it to avoid facing the feelings that the video should convey like pity, anger, sadness, or disgust?
The 1st “leading lifestyle-related cause of death”, not only in the US, but worldwide is stupidity in all of its forms (with or w/o alcohol).
That’s probably why it sometimes is that funny.
Smart Ideas Deparment: If in 2004 “1.4 million drivers were arrested for driving under the influence of alcohol or narcotics” and this number seems too high than there is a cure. Raise the threshold value just a bit. The figures will certainly drop.
Law men do not have to worry. If you make “stupid driving” an offence you will be able to double the number of arrests.
Then we will also have exact figures on how many stupidity-related motor vehicle crashes there are.
Remember: Too many people have problems with stupidity; it destroys families and takes lives.
Let’s do something. Ban stupidity, at leat at public places.
I’m laughing at you, PcMonster, to avoid facing the feelings your posts evoke like pity, anger, sadness and disgust.
Cripes.
I think it’s sad.
.
It is funny. I also laughed at the Three Stooges when I was a kid. I don’t recommend either being DUI or the Three Stooges physical violence, but they are funny.
And I have no sympathy for anyone caught DUI. Just think about it, the jerk in the clip could have been driving 60 MPH. Or, worse still, already hit someone.
PcMonster, I agree with everything you said. I’m very ashamed of myself. But I don’t care – the video’s f***ing hilarious. By the way, it’s a known fact that 42.6% of all statistics are made up right on the spot.
#20, And half of us are below average intelligence too.
5 If you think the video is funny in any way then you should examine what you think is funny about it.
Okay:
1. He does a face-plant into a wall
Any further moralizing is wasted because:
No one else is injured
It serves as a warning to those who might consider drinking and driving.
It serves as a reminder to those who don/t drink and drive to be alert for those who do…
It proves the system is working – at least a little – because they pulled him out of his car before he killed and/or injured someone… [else I don’t think the officer would have been so polite]
PcMonster,
You are hilarious – funnier thaan the alcohol drunk.
Drunk on faux intellectualism and “sensitivity.”
Educate us, Oh Wise One. You, of the Facts…
Why did the chicken cross the road? DO YOU KNOW HOW CHICKENS SUFFER WHEN BEING RAISED IN CAGES?
A Priest and a Rabbi walk into a bar. SO NOW PEDOPHILES AND ZIONIST MURDERERS ARE A JOKE?
How many Lesbians does it take to screw in a lightbulb. JUST BECAUSE YOU DON’T LIKE SOMEONE ELSE’S LIFESTYLE…blah, blah, blah…
You are Wise, but a dripping wet blanket. How does feeling pity, anger, sadness, and disgust help anyone – unless they want to be like you?
BTW: The guy apparently didn’t have a wreck or kill someone – he’s just a drunk on his way to A $10,000. event in his life. He will not cause as much harm as you will in the voting booth.
How funny is that?
You are off the Christmas Party invite list.
Hahah!! saw this one on some funnies home videos “documentary”, apparently his blood alcohol level was something like 3 times over the legal limit. Would have been funny to see how he drove though 😉
Its quite amazing that the fella can still stand after drinking that much man. I would have passed out ages ago!
Way to go man. Have you guys seen that the drunken kungfu masters? He looks like he’s practicing 😉
