Pure Pwns
There is a phenomenon today that almost escapes words. A moment of joyous rapture when someone is so thoroughly embarrassed that the word "embarrassing" cannot do it justice. This is a level of embarrassment or failure so hillarious and so monumental that it becomes immortalized in the memory of all who bear witness to it. In today's article, we rounded up 20 videos containing the most hilariousjay and ingeniously executed pwnage we could find (in no particular order). Enjoy!
1) Tower of Pisa
This man spent the better part of two weekends painstakingly building a replica of the leaning tower of Pisa out of lincoln logs. At the crowning moment of his achievement, a media reporter came by to interview the creator of the tower. During the interviewer, it was revealed that the Guiness Book of World Records would be there within days to evaluate the tower. But what happened next can only be summed up in one word: pwned! As the reporter circled the tower to get a better look, the cord from his microphone swept the base of it and caused the entire structure to collapse to the floor. The last thing viewers hear is the creator of the tower gasping in horror and storming off in disgust.
2) iPhones
This woman thought she had outsmarted the marketplace. While all the suckers patiently waited in line on the day the iPhone launched, she devised a seemingly fool-proof scheme to buy up the entire store's stock of iPhones and resell them on eBay for obscene profits. Her strategy? Buy off the person at the front of the line. From there, she reasoned, she would simply barge into the store and buy up all the iPhones before the other customers knew what hit them. Ultimately, she paid close to $1,000 for that first spot in line. But when the store opened its doors, she was pwned to epic proportions! As it turned out, store policy limited each customer to buying a single iPhone in order to ensure that everyone could buy one. Furthermore, the kid who sold "his" spot at the front of the line was actually with three other people who let him get right back in, and of those three people, only two of them were buying iPhones. pwned!
3) E-mail Prank
This young boy was just using his computer and minding his own business when one of those spooky face e-mail pranks came along and burst his bubble! A minute or so later, the video cuts to a woman in her office who gets so scared by the same prank that she falls out of her chair onto the floor! Finally, the video ends with a man listening through his headphones and being so frightened that he, too, lurches back from his chair and falls onto the floor. I think it's safe to say that this prank pwned all three of 'em!
4) Autopsy
This doctor thought he was giving a standard, run-of-the-mill instructional on how to perform an autopsy. Unfortunately, the man on the table had other plans! As it turned out, the man lying on the operating gurney was alive, and all it took was a lift of his arm to send the doctor running away in fear! The whole thing was orchestrated by the doctor's workplace pals, who apparently decided that they had gone long enough without pwning their co-workers!
5) Telemarketers
Everybody knows how annoying it is to get unsolicited telemarketer calls, but most of us just deal with it. The man in this video, however, takes a much different approach. When telemarketers call, he impersonates a police officer at a murder scene and tells the telemarketer that he is now under investigation just for calling the residence! To take the pwnage even further, the "officer" informs the telemarkter that "unless you wanna be charged with obstruction of justice it's imperative that you keep your ass on the phone." We're pretty sure that telemarketers avoided this phone number once that story made the rounds!
6) Porta Potties
Not many of us enjoy using porta potties under normal circumstances, but the patrons in this video had their experience made even more awkward! While they were doing their business, a group of men in suits placed a portable building in front of the porta potty door. This way, instead of the person walking out from the potty into the outdoors, they walked into what looked like an office building where a bunch of executives in suits were sitting at a table discussing business. The confused, disoriented, and utterly pwned bathroom users didn't even know what hit 'em!
7) Fake water bed
Not many stores set out to pwn their customers, but one store in Germany did just that! The store's employees set up a fake waterbed, which in all actuality as just a bedframe with water in it and a piece of plywood covering it up. Then, when customers came in to "test" the waterbed, they fell straight through the flimsy plywood and got completely soaked by the water underneath! Naturally, the store's employees caught all the pwnage on tape for all the world to see!
8) Skunks in the park
They say that there's nothing better than a relaxing afternoon in the park, but one mischevious man put an end to that with some major pwnage! Armed with a stuffed animal skunk at the end of a long rod, the man would silently creep up behind park benches and push the skunk beneath the feet of anyone sitting there. All the while, another person filmed from afar as the people sitting on the bench freaked out and leapt to their feet in horror.
9) Blood in the showers
Public showers are awkward enough by themselves, but one swimming facility decided to make things that much worse. Hidden cameras in the showers filmed the screaming patrons flail and run away as blood-like liquid poured down from the shower faucets. When the horrified children ran out of the showers, they were greeted by fits of laughter and applause from the pranksters responsible for the pwnage. (Don't worry - everyone wore bathing suits!)
10) Shop-At-Home
Life as a shop-at-home host can get pretty boring, hawking the same old products night after night. One way to break up the monotony is to have callers dial in and ask questions about the product. That's all well and good: until one man called up a live broadcast about a Dell computer deal and answered "Porno!" when the host asked the caller what he used his computer for. While the show hosts and audience probably got a good laugh out of it, it's safe to say that the advertisers weren't happy with the pwnage!
11) Seat of the pants
From the world of hidden camera pranks comes some more "relaxing day in the park" pwnage. One man was unfortunate enough to sit on top of double-sided masking tape that ripped the seat of his pants when he stood up. For the rest of the day, a hidden camera followed him around as passers by laughed at his exposed posterior. The duped man had no clue why people were laughing at him and never caught on to the pwnage that had been perpetrated on him. Classic!
12) Coke bomb
After a long, hard day, what's better than coming home to an ice cold glass of soda? Nothing, right? Well that's what the man in this video had in mind before he was pwned by one of his buddies. Little did he know that the 2 liter of Coke he opened was filled earlier that day with mentos that caused the soda to spray violently and uncontrollably in all directions. The pwned man can be heard screaming in outrage as his buddies laugh it up. Luckily for all you wanna-be pranksters, the creator of the video films the exact steps he took to carry out the exploding Coke pwnage you see. Just be careful next time you grab that bottle of soda!
13) Kickball
We all have fond childhood memories of playing kickball at school with our friends, but the players in this game clearly had other ideas in mind! Instead of using inflatable kickballs, the kids were duped into running at full speed and putting all their might into kicking a ball made of cement! The pwnage set in when each kid ran up to the ball and tumbled to the ground in pain instead of watching their majestic kick soar into the air.
14) Golf balls in the car
A long day at the office makes anyone eager to get home, so you can imagine what this guy must have felt like! As he approaches his car at the end of the workday, two of his co-workers film him from up in their office building. Little does the man know that when he opens his car door, a torrential of golf balls will flood out at him, causing him to lose his balance and fall to the pavement as his co-workers whoop it up from afar. We're not sure how they packed thousands upon thousands of golf balls into his car without the man ever knowing about it, but there's no denying the pwnage that went down in this prank!
15) Exploding golf ball
From the office to the back nine, golf ball pranks never get old! While this man gears up to take his best shot, his buddies hang back and watch him fall right into their trap: the old "exploding golf ball" trick! The pwnage sets in when the ball explodes into a cloud of smoke while the confused golfer falls back and his buddies howl in laughter.
16) Breakdancing
Breakdancing can be quite fun to watch, but it's not too fun if you get in the dancer's way! In this video, a little kid somehow wanders out of the crowd of spectators and into the area where the breakdancer is doing his thing. In doing so, the kid gets totally pwned when the breakdancer inadvertently kicks him, causing him to to a 180 in midair and land on his head! Luckily the child was okay and this video can be a monument to pwnage instead of a tragic prelude to something much worse!
17) Dodgeball
Dodgeball has given the world pwnage since before the word pwned existed, and this video shows us why. During a school-sanctioned game, one gym coach gets a little overzealous and hurls an enormous green ball at a kid who is barely half the ball's size? Predictably, the kid is sent flying off the mat and onto the hard gym floor, causing everyone to drop their balls and rush over to help. Fortunately, this child was not seriously hurt either. But he was seriously pwned!
18) Ahhhh-nold!
The world of professional wrestling is goofy enough, but this video shows one of the WWE's top superstars getting totally pwned by Arnold Schwarzenegger! When Triple-H makes the mistake of attacking Schwarzenegger, the Terminator reminds us of his unsurpassed physical prowess by knocking Triple-H to the floor in front of a sold out arena and a nationally televised audience. We can never be sure, but it's safe to bet that Triple-H caught some good-natured ribbing from the other wrestlers after this pwnage went down!
19) Kung-Fu Fighting
Few things excite us more than sporting events turning into brawls, but if anything does, it's sports brawls where one person gets totally pwned in the process! That's what happens in this video where Korean-born pitcher Chan Ho Park delivers a well-placed flying scissorkick to Angels pitcher Tim Belcher. The pwnage filled ESPN's highlight reels for days and served as a reminder what when you throw a pitch too close to somebody's head, you put yourself at risk of being pwned!
20) Cubicle pwnage
This video offers a rare, behind-the-scenes glimpse into the planning stages of pwnage. When a co-worker took a 3 week vacation, his pals put in extra work at the office to totally pwn his cubicle. After weeks of construction, the man returned from his vacation to find that his regular old, run-of-the-mill cubicle had been transformed into a shed, complete with windows, shingles, paint, trim, flowers, a lamp and a mailbox. Office pranksters have their work cut out for them if they want to pwn someone worse than this guy got it!
As a bonus, we round out today's article with this montage of pwnage. From animals attacking babies to sporting accidents to car crashes to air horns, the poor saps in this montage have learned more about being pwned than most ever care to. Enjoy!
