This is the funniest video I have watched for a long time. Stick with it, it gets better and better.

As this is on MSN UK, please do tell me if it is accessible to non-UK people. I am not sure if it is or isn't.

It worked for me and I'm non-UK. As for the video: Even among those "You can do anything, if you believe in yourself"-people there are retards as well :)

That is funny but so pathetic as to make it less funny than otherwise. I knew that "I didn't believe in myself enough" was coming. Pitiful. I wonder what his wife would think.

Oh and I heard at the end the guy taping laughing. Someone in the house said "what happened"?

My question is; was the guy actually trying to be serious?  EVERYONE knows you can't break a piece of plywood that way, especially with your head.  What was the guy thinking?  I guarantee you can break a 1x4 that way, but not 1/2" plywood (aren't you gonna' ask me how I know?)?

I think it is safe to see he had little understanding of the structural performance of plywood. A more open question is how knowledgeable the person taking the video was.

 

I felt that the main message was that positive thinking and confidence are not enough. Things like the laws of physics are quite important as well.

"aren't you gonna' ask me how I know?"-All right, I'll ask. What was your experience?

I looked back to this forum to find this vid again! This forum deserves to be on the top of the list for a couple of days, in case some of our new members want to see it.
