Epic.

Btw. the last 10 secs are worth it all.

minus the redneck accent, this is pretty much just like visiting my parents at christmas.

Santa Claus gets pretty stressed out this time of year

"Thanksgiving is over, over the river and through the woods, GO TO YOUR FUCKING GRANDMAS HOUSE AND GET AWAY FROM MINE, YOU KNOW WHY?! CAUSE THERE AIN'T NO FUCKING SOUFLE !"

This can't be real. Who gets that mad that they scream for nearly five minutes straight?

this reminds me of the tourettes guy somehow

lol... consider yourself lucky you don't have anyone like this in your immediate family.

basically, there are a subset of people for whom every frustration ranks a 10, and results in an episode like the above. they live their lives in three states: 1. seemingly normal and cheerful, 2. straining to contain themselves at the smallest perturbation, 3. in full-on tantrum mode.

gg allin is alive and well it seems

he looks genuinely hurt

and the fact that he left the empty box in cabinet would piss me the fuck off too

lol wow. i like his moment of clarity around the three minute mark when he is asked what the potatoes are even for.

"i don't know, i'll do something with 'em tomorrow"

But not when he's flinging cans around or brandishing a knife at him.

Edit: Marshmallows! omnomnomnom marsh-om-nom-nom-mallows-nom nom fucking marshmallows!

very interesting, i used to work with a guy that fits that description perfectly. he would fly completely off the handle about some trivial thing and become completely psychotic for a few minutes.. i still don't think this video is genuine though. i've seen this guy in a number of freakout videos now and they all feel pretty contrived.

it's a lot like tourette's syndrome. if you're not familiar with it, you'll probably find it completely unbelievable/ridiculous.

Hm, I have a friend who's constantly hyperactive and seems to have boundless energy despite never getting more than 4 or 5 hours sleep, but he'll often just fall asleep very suddenly, regardless of what's occurring around him. It sounds like that tourettes guy was kind of similar before the onset of his illness. Just go go go until exhaustion takes over, then out like a light. I better warm him about the case of adult tourettes he's going to have to deal with in the near future. He'll probably enjoy it too.

haha YES. cute :)

I've watched a bunch of those angry grandpa videos in the past. I think the majority of it is staged to some degree. But it's still funny.

There are people like this. I've seen it a bunch working in the hospital... I have a hard time not laughing. Temper tantrums have always cracked me up.

Sweet taydur.

He should really lay off the marshmallows anyhow.

That has to be Randy from Trailer Parks Boys grandpa.
