Watch: Scooter Crash Shreds An ACL Into Bolivian, Probably An Achilles Tear Too? T’s & P’s To This Modern Day Gladiator
It's been awhile since I’ve seen something emulate those satisfying vibes from early internet days. Back when Ebaums World & Liveleak reigned supreme and you could end up seeing anything on your family's desktop computer. For better or for worse. Sometimes very worse.
But most of the time it was (mostly) harmless physical comedy & random news station outtakes. Or failed audition tapes like my man Afro Ninja. Master of karate, friendship, & almost backflips.
Gone are the days of vintage picks like that. Now there's a doomscroll for every niche and a never ending flow of #content that has quite literally sent Ebaum's back to the Stone Age.
But there's still the occasional creamy gem that rises to the top. And this poor sumbitch fucking up his scooter along with every ligament in his knee sits squarely in that conversation.
Bah GAWD King, his legs have been broken in half!

No idea on the backstory, no idea on that poor soul's current status, no idea if that person on the sidewalk was still able to finish their food? But I do know that video made me feel.
A presence I've not felt since…
…Of course as is tradition, the Internet did NOT hold back with their commentary.

Would this have done numbies back in 2007? I think so. But this isn't about data. It's about the primal urge to have a polite chuckle at someone else's brief misfortune. Nothing over the line or egregious. Certainly no federal crimes. Just a casual 6-9 month recovery time.
Physical comedy with a touch of genuine pain will always get the blood pumping on a different level. And major credit to this unsung hero for entertaining us so seamlessly. As far as I'm concerned this dude is the modern day Charlie Chaplin. Man imagine if Chaplin & Buster Keaton were able to do electric scooter humor? Heck, that would've been a real gas.
Aw well, back to the doomscrolling we go. Of course I wish a speedy recovery to our ACL king, thoughts & prayers and all that good stuff. If he's looking for some A+ brainrot to watch while he's healing up, I highly recommend the "subtle foreshadowing" trend. Just don't try this at home. (But if you do please record it so I can blog it, thanks in advance)
