She got hurt. Hilarious.

But yeah, the original concept is pretty good, just get rid of the whole smacking part.

This concept is pretty old. One of the more famous of these videos involved a guy holding the tupperware with a spatula, and instead of being smacked on the ass his girl punched him in the groin. Painful, but also hilarious.

All glory to the hypnotoad.

It would have been better if instead of water in that bowl there was boiling acid.

Here's a classic, not-so-painful trick you can do if you get horrible service at a restaurant (only works if it's a smooth table):

Ask for a glass/beer coaster.
Fill a glass completely full with water, then stick a quarter in it (must be completely full)
Put the coaster over the top of the glass and flip the glass upside down.
Place the glass on the table, then quickly remove the coaster.
Clean up any excess water that might've spilled.

Except that would most likely effect the bus boy and not the waiter.

This trick also isn't recommended if you paid with a credit card.

I saw this on Today's Big Thing a few days ago. Which then made me want to try it out. So last night, for my friend's birthday, I announced I'd do a magic trick. I called everyone into the kitchen, and got my girlfriend to hold the swiffer handle. Then stole the chair and ran away. She got kind of mad. Then she got really wet when she tried to slide the bowl at me. Then she got even more mad.

So... basically, totally worth it, but don't expect sex that night.

Could it have been on the second of February?

She fell over. It's not like she broke anything. She's fine. Jeez. People slipping and falling down has always been, and always will be hilarious.

Well. I've never been outside the US and really don't know much about Australia, so...

Since when is having traveled to Australia a prerequisite for recognizing the accent?

It isn't. But I don't come in contact with Australians in person ever, or via media, so when I watch a low quality video, you can't expect everyone to recognize the accent correctly.

You've never heard Crocodile Dundee or 1000 other cliché Australians?

I recommend the first Mad Max, in the non-overdubbed version, if you can find it (they dubbed it for the American market, as they figured the US wouldn't bother to figure out the English)

From an America's Home Videos standpoint, yes. We can laugh, we weren't there. However, if my boyfriend knocked me down then laughed? I'd be pissed.

But surely Top Gear has given you some kind of idea of what a British accent sounds like, as much as you like to use their vernacular.

True. But I just think of Australia as a British prison colony, so...

All true.
