  • mousy, on 10/12/2007, -8/+117Haha, what an idiot.
    • PatrickFisher, on 10/12/2007, -64/+17NoNo, He's was just trying to make it *convenient* for the police to catch him...
    • crumbelievable, on 10/12/2007, -2/+98Larry, Moe, and Curly couldn't have done it better.
    • Sedako, on 10/12/2007, -5/+149Who needs high budget movies for comedy, all you need it a security camera and a poorly educated individual!
    • BigManOnCampus, on 10/12/2007, -20/+31@Sedako

      Yes, Network Television figured this out about 10 years ago with the writers strike and the "invention" of reality TV.
    • Sedako, on 10/12/2007, -9/+22Obviously you never heard about the "invention" of sarcasm.
    • niggapleaze, on 10/12/2007, -57/+2@Sedako,

      pooly educate indi-what? Say what ya mean man, best say dat 2 my face too bitch! since when is dis joint all PC, huh?
    • tripm, on 10/12/2007, -80/+4Hilarious, yes- but this looks fake - why does the camera pan and zoom right in on the "suspect" ? If someone is watching, then the cops should have come sooner.
    • davesphone00, on 10/12/2007, -19/+2If he was going to smash the glass door, why didn't he do it in the first place? Isn't there a song about this guy? Ssomething like "...yo momma's on crack rock..."
    • PFS1, on 10/12/2007, -3/+113>> why does the camera pan and zoom right in on the "suspect"

      That was clearly someone with an editing programing zooming in on a section of the frame to highlight. Why do people think everything on the internet is fake?
    • Mousse, on 10/12/2007, -3/+23Hahaha, this guy is like a modern day Charlie Chaplin!
    • DiggLever, on 10/12/2007, -5/+0ah yes, it was a convenience store.
    • mcottier, on 10/12/2007, -3/+4@tripm

      I think you and the guy in the video belong together...you are both idiots. You really think someone was watching the security camera at the time of the robbery? After he was caught, they just took the tape out that it was recorded on. Also, I doubt anyone would trash a convenience store on purpose, just to make us laugh for a minute.
    • M4tt3r, on 10/12/2007, -1/+23Play this in the background.

  • briantech, on 10/12/2007, -7/+269+5 points for smoking a blunt while waiting for the cops to break in the door.
    • BevansDesign, on 10/12/2007, -7/+63Probably just a cigarette, but it was pretty funny anyway.
    • afpunk, on 10/12/2007, -3/+14I agree. For all the points the guy lost for being a petty, incompetent thief, he made up quite a bit of them for just realizing he was screwed and waiting it out.
  • nottidredd, on 10/12/2007, -3/+229I love how he missed the camera with the bottle from 3 feet away. I think his gene pool needs a bit of chlorine.
    • pbaehr, on 10/12/2007, -6/+22And a little bit late, at that.
    • twe4ked, on 10/12/2007, -12/+8he'd prolly had a few drinks by then ;)
    • GameMonkey, on 10/12/2007, -3/+2"I think his gene pool needs a bit of chlorine."
      Couldn't have stated it better myself...is there anyway we can put a "required IQ level" in place or is that inhumane?
  • seattle98104, on 10/12/2007, -49/+11i doubt this will make the front page, but thank you SOOOO much for posting this. I haven't laughed in a while.

    best part is when he gives up and lights a j waiting for the cops to come in and arrest him.
  • timothdd, on 10/12/2007, -69/+5not to be picky, but he is in a liquor store....how many convenience stores do you know sell kegs?
    • i64X, on 10/12/2007, -4/+47A convenience store near us sells kegs. ::shrugs::
    • Nougat, on 10/12/2007, -1/+196I find any store that sells kegs to be convenient.
    • axel2k, on 10/12/2007, -5/+12All the awesome ones do.
  • ahhell, on 10/12/2007, -3/+127How is that guy not dead from a few of those falls...ouch.

    Damn funny video.
    • gruk, on 10/12/2007, -2/+75The ceiling panels and glass bottles broke his fall.
    • freff, on 10/12/2007, -4/+25I seriously couldn't believe that was real. It was like a real-life Tom and Jerry skit. He should have broken his neck off that first fall, not to mention all the rest of them.

      I guess if you're going to be remarkably dumb, you've also got to be remarkably tough as well.
    • shinynew, on 10/12/2007, -1/+7@gruk
      and he returned the favor by breaking the fall of the other glass bottles with his head.
  • snackdrag, on 10/12/2007, -3/+34can't, stop, laughing.
  • pgup, on 10/12/2007, -2/+14Holy cow, what a total moron.
  • JoeDonH, on 10/12/2007, -1/+31Wow, thanks for the laugh on a slow day at work. Always great to have people wonder what I'm laughing at as they walk by.

    And damn, that must hurt like hell landing on your back on top of a shelf lined with bottles - not to mention falling on your head when breaking in.
    • gruk, on 10/12/2007, -3/+11@JoeDonH
      "Always great to have people wonder what I'm laughing at as they walk by."

      Nah, they just think you're nuts.
    • JoeDonH, on 10/12/2007, -1/+12"Nah, they just think you're nuts."

      Very true indeed. Also, to add to my comments - am I the only one who'd like to see a sped up version of this with the Benny Hill theme playing?
  • indicas, on 10/12/2007, -2/+26I think I can honestly say this was one of the funniest youtube videos I've seen. You would think he'd learn not to get in a position where he can fall on his ass easily!
    • eng12, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Actually I think the drop was on his head, and he should know by now how to avoid that, for it must have been frequent when he was a baby.
  • Mininday, on 10/12/2007, -9/+27wow, discovered this one at the same time:

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zCzJu034TL4
    • interiot, on 10/12/2007, -6/+23I call probable fake. It's still hilarious though. ;)
    • Triplbogey, on 10/12/2007, -12/+10fake
    • Antha, on 10/12/2007, -6/+1Oh. Mah. Gawd. Is the one guy looking up to find out what happened to the projectile that knocked his buddy out, before hurling the second object?
    • neodon, on 10/12/2007, -12/+2Wow I'm glad you mouth-breathers could point out that it is fake. I would never have guessed.
    • ArcticCelt, on 10/12/2007, -1/+8That's either fake, either the most instantaneous manifestation of karma ever caught on video.

      I prefer to to beleive the second option :)
    • mcottier, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2Actually that video is real. I saw it on one of those cops shows before (maybe Real TV) and they talked about how they just lay there until the police came. Also, they said his friend was keeping a look out while the other guy would break the window.
  • cmearns, on 10/12/2007, -4/+30Holy... this one is so funny its NSFW! I can hardly breathe I'm laughing so hard! Hahaha. What an idiot!
    • floridiot, on 10/12/2007, -1/+12Yeah, I'm getting weird looks at work from laughing so hard. I'm actually crying.
    • riah, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2That was truly golden. They probably heard me across the hall. :)
  • borsdy, on 10/12/2007, -8/+5That was ***** great, thanks for the gut busting laugh.
  • BigManOnCampus, on 10/12/2007, -15/+3I just can't believe it. Somehow that has to be staged or trick photography or something. That guy lands hard. What on earth would make him keep going after such terrible falls? I mean, just how mind-numb must you be to not realize that your plan isn't going as you planned when you fall 10 feet from wimpy ceiling tiles onto a hard floor with wine bottles slamming into your face?
    • jta827, on 10/12/2007, -0/+21Mind-numb enough to break into a liquor store in the first place would be my guess.
    • ZeroG52, on 10/12/2007, -0/+7Um.....CRACK?!
    • eng12, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I think he was knocked out, as said in another version of the video
  • geronimo, on 10/12/2007, -1/+24I think that video would go well with some loony tunes music.
    • curtvdh, on 10/12/2007, -1/+30I think the Benny Hill theme would be better...
  • HellifIno, on 10/12/2007, -53/+1Meh.

    Sorry to spoil the mood, but I gotta call Shenanigans. Oh, sure, it was creative vid editing, but still. This looks to not be a real crime by any measure. Cops show up WAY too late. Yes, I noticed it's only about 2+ mins into the vid, but the vid skips a LOT of time.

    Sure, it MAY be real. But w/out a story link, it just looks like yet another "no, this really happened!" vid.
    • ahhell, on 10/12/2007, -1/+28Do you think maybe that they edited footage from multiple cameras together?
      Nah, it couldn't be that.

      Also, how the hell do fake falling about 10 feet onto one's head.
    • tsf5000, on 10/12/2007, -0/+19There's no reason for the cops to show up if nobody calls them. Just because cameras recorded him doesn't mean anybody was watching it happen live. As far as editing goes, "they" probably just picked the funny parts to show.
    • billlyboobs34, on 10/12/2007, -1/+7This was shown on TV so yeah, it had been edited for the best parts.
    • HellifIno, on 10/12/2007, -20/+0Ahem. "Show me the story"

      That was actually the most important part of my previous post. Sorry you got stuck on the details.
    • tsf5000, on 10/12/2007, -0/+15I think its real but if you're not convinced, find the story yourself. I'm pretty sure its nobody's job to make sure that you approve of the validity of youtube videos.
    • riah, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3I remember seeing it mentioned on my local news station (though it didn't happen in our viewing area).
    • eng12, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Kindigg's post should give you the story you want

  • Jadix, on 10/12/2007, -2/+37the guy eats ***** EVERYTIME he tries to climb. Probably has a lot to do with his "shorts" going down to his ankles.

  • mord3th, on 10/12/2007, -5/+2@tripm

    it looks like the video has been edited. "zooming" can be an illusion. they could have easily panned in the video in an editor (same way they took original 16:9 aspect ratios and made them 4:3). Notice how it loses a lot of resolution at the same time.
    just an idea
  • CalZStudios, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2That ceiling entry is WAY too good. I love how all the tiles start falling then he plops down as well.

  • WhiteTeeRash, on 10/12/2007, -14/+2Hey, I have a great idea...
    Let's shoot a fake video of a guy almost killing himself trying to steal some cigarettes. My buddy Curtis will do it. He's crazy. And my buddy Ahpoo will let us trash his convenience store, no problem.
    It'll be great!
    • tsf5000, on 10/12/2007, -3/+2I dugg you up because that's the best user name I've ever seen on digg.
  • DevilsAdv0cate, on 10/12/2007, -27/+5I can't believe you guys. This man has fallen on hard times and you all are lynching him for his unfortunate luck. He is probably a very hard worker, and a productive member of society at that, but has been forced to perform a criminal act due to persecution and racism coming from people like you.

    Every time he tries to work his way somewhere, people in power pigeonhole him and "put him in his place." How can he ever prove his worth to the world when no one gives him a chance?

    The cops should give him a break and realize he is just a victim of circumstance, and that they would be doing the same thing if they were in his position.

    You should all be ashamed of yourselves.
    • tsf5000, on 10/12/2007, -1/+8Are you serious?
    • graemee, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Never.

    • eng12, on 10/12/2007, -2/+1That might have been true if:
      A.) It wasn't a load of Bull$#!+
      B.) He didn't make a Du^^8@$$ out of himself before we added critique
      C.) He wasn't a kleptomaniac with a set of bad intentions and a case of Murphy's Law on his hands.

      My shame is lifted, Amen.
    • xenofiend, on 10/12/2007, -2/+1DevilsAdv0cate: You could be right. I wouldn't say I agree with you, but I find it interesting that nobody else in this reply thread has said anything to defend their assumptions regarding the thief's character. I recognize the fact that I don't know anything about the man except what I saw on the vid. I do know that he is my fellow man and is worthy of my respect. If I were to speculate, I would be inclined to believe that he probably had a rough childhood and limited opportunities for success. He could probably use some help from a few folks who want him to succeed in life.
      Your comment was dugg down -9 and judging by the previous replies; I suspect that you have successfully offended some folks who are pretty set in their prejudices. I like your style. You should chime in on the YouTube comment section for this vid. There are probably fewer fence sitters there.
    • AllenHSmilden, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1Wow the racist card. Here I thought the deck ran out a long time ago.
    • ting, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Yeah, nobody will ever put himself in such a pitiful situation if he is content, have enough food and love in his family. Imho, the only difference between him and us laughing is the position we stand.
      I have yet to see the man who can rise above hard circumstances with dignity and without stealing, hurting others, etc.
