Windows Media File, here. I pity the poor bastard. After all, it *was* a one of a kind, nothing else like it in the world.

Ahh FF shit.

That really does suck for him though. I feel bad for him even though I think he was funny saying "aahh FF shit"...

I wonder how much money that cylinder was worth, probably lots.

Maybe if he hadn't gorilla gripped it , it wouldnt have broken.

Note to gorilla gripper: leave the original home, make a tape or take some pics.

I'm sorry, but I had to laugh. It sure is one-of-a-kind now, a whole bunch of little one-of-a-kinds

It is sad, but I laugh each time I watch it

paul has made me watch that about...literally, oh i'd say 15 times. his favorite part is at the end, where the guy is groaning, and it sounds like he's sobbing. that's pretty funny, even though it is terrible.

i LOVE how he stresses that it's the only one of its kind in the world. heh. that's so terrible.

I found it interesting that the one of a kind cylinder essentially crumbled into dust in the guy's hands ... I don't think it would have anywhere near the humor value if he had dropped it.

i know. how tight was he holding that thing? i thought the same thing. it broke into a billion and one tiny pieces. and THEN he dropped it.

Here's another very fine and very hilarious example.

Man...that big old pipe being worked on really (wait for it, wait for it...)...really sucks!

Would this be classified as the undersea equivalent of roadkill?

This _really_ needs a Don Martin sound effect to be complete. "SPLORP!", perhaps.
