I don't think I have done that. Definitely not that long. But it feels pretty familiar, for some reason.
My girlfriends and I used to do that in college. Except we also kicked. Man, those were the days. Getting drunk with my ladies, kicking the shit out of each other until we were black and blue, and then smoking giant cigars on the front porch of the English building.
I certainly have done that, but not, indeed, for quite that long. No kicking.
These are a couple that make me laugh, mostly because the target is willing, but apparently hasn't thought much about the outcome.

Aw man, I've totally done that. Even as recently as last year, there was kind of a fun brawl at a party with me and two other girls. Unfortunately, the girl that was responsible for instigating these things had the poor sense to go and break up with the guy she was dating, which is the dude through which I knew her, so I don't get to fight with her anymore.
I've totally done that. Not for as long.
it's hilarious that Ogged links to a dumb, gay activity and all the girls are like, "rawrr! I totally do that!".
Chopper's part of "the girls", of course.
Dude, fighting with your friends is fun. I don't ever get to fight people for reals, so how else am I going to get out my aggression?
I knew I'd seen a chick version somewhere.
http://ebaumsworld.com/2006/10/slap-fest.html
Man, I feel bad for that cue ball guy. That looks like it really hurt! Also, slapping fights are stupid. I prefer to use my fists.
I've been slapped and punched by women an equal number of times.
Thumb wars is as far as I'll go.
This is great. I think it's what Ogged thought the Unfogged boys were like in 2.
Yeah, I've never done that, but I am duly impressed by all y'all who have.
What's weird about the cue ball video is the silence from the perpetrators. Apart from the guy moaning, no one says anything. I expecting at least one "awesome," or "oh man," or possibly a "dude."
The last feat of physical strength I was involved in was when a friend's girlfriend beat me at arm-wrestling. You may all commence poking fun.
It's ok, mrh, I've got you covered.
And it would have been so easy to find the fifth-column. Can the sons throw a baseball? If not, can they code Javascript or tell you how to solve level 12 of Grand Theft Auto? The families of kids who can't throw or code or game are, for our purposes, French.
19 is both painful and hilarious. Holy shit. Becks, are you your true and dear self?
19: "You'll probably get to know more about anime if you end up dating me."
I've never tried the whole blind dating thing, so maybe I'm unfamiliar with some of the ins and outs, but this seems like a really bad strategy.
The best part of 19 was the anime part. Holyshitwow.
19 is eerily like a student in one of my classes. Hilarious.
The guy does seem to have a decent grasp of Japanese pronunciation.
He's just so funny, he's like a 55-year-old trapped in a 12-year-old's body. His little head-nods at the end of sentences crack me up.
That vid in 19 is fantastic.
"I have this weird nickname for myself, it's based off a character in a Japanese anime series. You'll probably get to know more about anime if you end up meeting me."
Oh man. Virgin For Life.
Fuck. That was me. Stupid rememberrific software.
Oh man, I didn't get to the anime part before I had to quit. Is this Ste/ven D/en B/este?
I like how at the end of the video in 14 the one woman wiggles her jaw back and forth, just to make sure it is still working.
30: He seems more young Paul Mirengoff.
For those of us who won't be there, could someone please, please take a video camera to UnfoggeDCon, just in case it turns into Unfogged Fight Club?
His voice is so... high.
Cala Rule of Dating #54: If my voice is deeper than yours, it isn't going to work.
35 is incriminating. The real ogged has spoken! In internet video form!
If it's not real, that's some awesome-ass acting.
What do you mean by "gayest." Did you mean to use this term in the offensive pejorative sense?
Nice use of the disambiguating hyphen in 38.
30: No, he just watches hentai for the stories.
Did you mean to use this term in the offensive pejorative sense?
Did you see any buttsex in that clip?
Not only have I done that, I have previously posted here that it was an integral part of my job culture to do that, at one point. But I can't find it. I have an idea that I impressed 'smasher that it was pretty redneck, on the whole.
We used to "box" all the time in middle school. It was awesome. The best part was doing a Popeye punch - you know, you circle your arm all the way around over your head, like a windmill maybe finishing with a somewhat less than devastating uppercut.
We'd also play football which was mainly an excuse to tackle people.
Fighting with girls was also fun. You don't outsize them in 5th or 6th grade and they kick, bite, throw chairs, etc. They wanted to fight mind you. Maybe it was some clumsy preadolescent way of flirting?
Might explain the strange attraction to women who could beat me up.
What killed me about the first youtube clip was the sound of the girls' giggling.
Ladies! How about: "This is the stupidest thing I've ever seen, but someone's going to get hurt. Let's have a rainbow party instead!"
I've never stood around and traded blows with a friend.
I so can't picture slolernr doing that. I can't picture Ogged doing that at his present age, either, but he has frequently mentioned being a bully/hellian when younger.

You'd rather kneel eh?

I have hidden shallows.
The original post may not have had anything about buttsex, but flaming buttsex was soon to come.
Slol and I are punching each other in the arm right now.
There are several different clips of guys shooting bottle rockets out of their asses, often ending in really serious burns. At least that guys had it pointed the right way.
Apo, several emails I've sent to you have bounced, can you respond if you got the one I just sent you?
That sound is burned into my mind forever.
44: Wow. Ordinarily, not the crowd I'd expect to see cheering on a guy dropping his pants, pulling his legs over his head, and sticking something in his ass.
I'm not going to look for it or link to it, but have you guys seen the one of guys shitting on their sleeping friends? I wonder if this stuff has always gone on, or if there's collegehumor.com escalation nowadays.
(The crowd in the video, that is. The crowd here, I'd expect no less.)
55: not the same oeuvre, but there is always the full body floss. (nsfw) to give him a run for his money.
I was completely convinced that I was not going to find the video in 44 funny, but then they lit it and I laughed and laughed.
I think that nutsack explosion killed the thread.
What were they thinking was going to happen? His gonads would hitch a ride on the rocket?
68 really was a crap joke; I'm sorry.
70 really was a crap joke joke; I'm sorry.
Here's one of somebody punching a guy's girlfriend for no reason. He didn't know the guy was a boxer.
And here is the answer to that ages-old question: Who would win in a fight, a karate master or a pimp?
Also, always keep your guard up.
I probably have time to get a second job, since I've seen every clip linked in this thread except the one with the cue ball.
Find a serious boxer vs. a karate guy, then, ogged. That's what I want to see. That's what THE WORLD wants to see. (I say a young Roy Jones Jr. Kicks the shit out of anyone in his weight class who fights in any style.)
How about this one? Fighter kisses his opponent at the opening bell to psych him out. Opponent doesn't like being kissed.
Here's one of somebody punching a guy's girlfriend for no reason.
Kinda looks ike that dude was gesturing or something, not trying to hit her.
Boxers rarely win those mixed-martial arts or anything-goes fights, because the fight usually ends up on the ground, where the guys who know holds and grappling win. But I'm not an authority on this stuff, despite having seen a bunch of guys stick firecrackers in their butts.
(I say a young Roy Jones Jr. Kicks the shit out of anyone in his weight class who fights in any style.)
I've sparred boxers. In my experience, boxers are really thrown off by stuff that's not boxing. Kick to the knees, groin area, etc. aren't on their mind, and they have a tendency either to reflexively not guard against those at all, or to drop their hands when you do it, which leaves their head wide open.
How about this one?
Hadn't seen that. Pretty funny though.
And what Ogged said. They typically don't handle grappling well either.
I've seen every clip linked in this thread
Have you seen this one?
Not only do the grapplers usually win, they sustain a lot less damage while winning.
Why? Why do you men do that?
And Ogged's knowing tone makes me think that if we look hard enough, we'll find a video somewhere of a firecracker stuck up his ass.
Have you seen this one?
Nope. Loving it. So I searched for "punch" and you searched for "nads." Beautiful.
85: You kick sparring partners in the groin? Seems like you'd have trouble finding new ones.
Young men have an unstupidmetered desire to "see what will happen" and "see how much I can stand." Put them together, and you have a dozen websites that stay in business just cataloging amateur morons. Probably a good 70% of 9/11 was also due to these impulses.
Why? Why do you men do that?
Heaven knows I don't do it, Becks.
if we look hard enough, we'll find a video somewhere of a firecracker stuck up his ass.
One location in particular springs to mind.
Enough with the fighting videos. How about zit-popping videos?
"Honest, I just put the firecracker up there to smoke out the gerbil!"
How about zit-popping videos?
I'm not even going to watch that. I have my limits.
Find a serious boxer vs. a karate guy, then,
K1 fights would be where to search.
The zit popping videos disturb me because I just imagine that for every 9 people watching them to get grossed out, 1 person is probably getting off to it.
I had to stop three minutes in. What kind of crazy ass infection is that?
If you want serious fight videos, search for "mma", as in mixed martial arts. Best small guy: Genki Sudo. Best big guy: Fedor Emelianenko. And Mirko Crocop is also one bad mofo. Enjoy.
ohmygod. keep watching till about 4:20. it's unbelievable! i'm beyond amazed.
#106: That's not even the grossest zit-popping video on YouTube. This is. I can't even sit through it myself.
I'd heard that about grapplers (Gracie, right?), too, but I'm suspicious of the quality of boxers involved.
basically, you want to see Floyd Mayweather (or Jermaine Taylor, represent!) vs. Jet Li or one of the Gracie guys (guessing on these last two...). Someone should arrange that.
I would have truced for a kitten half as adorable. Thank you.
Do you guys remember when the Poor Man posted kitten porn?
I think Standpipe is calling Becks a sucker.
That cat must be jelly, 'cause jam don't wobble like that.
Ok, 111 is the grossest thing I've seen for a long damned time.
I can't believe you people watched the zit popping.
Think of it as a money shot, ogged.
I'm not calling Becks any such thing.
111 isn't zit-popping; it's giant cyst-lancing with fingernails! In, like, rural Thailand or something.
Is Wait Wait Dont Tell Me ever funny? I've listened to the last four or so, and I'm leaning towards no.
You kick sparring partners in the groin? Seems like you'd have trouble finding new ones.
Not really. You just flick a couple kicks in that direction, then the next one, when you raise your knee they reflexively go to block that kick they think is coming, often dropping both hands. Instead of a kick you step in and throw a punch. Good times.
Hello, non-barbarian here.
The next video had better be of a kitten fired out of a rocket's weeping butt pimple. Let's raise the bar.
Given the apostropher's magical powers, I fully expected 131 to be a kitten fired out of a rocket's weeping butt pimple.
So did I. I kept waiting for it to happen.
Washerdreyer, it's all about mopping the kitchen floor and not exactly expecting to laugh, as such. If you can't appreciate the surprising moments of almost-humor between the refrigerator-mold and the toilet-cleaning, then maybe you're not cut out to be a weekend NPR listener.
Myself, of course, I schedule around it.
My Word was funny. Maybe the problem is: WWDTM (What Would Diotima's Teenagers Make?) sucks.
111. oh my god. what really made me cringe? "without disinfectant" And the finger-digging part. Without disinfectant.
I figure we've got about 20 comments to go before somebody links the Mr. Hands video.
I suspect the people saying that WWDTM sucks haven't listened to What Do You Know?
For the first time, I'm quite glad that I can't be bothered to get a youtube account so I can see the x-rated videos.
I know that that link is mean, but I'm going to click on it anyway.
This isn't actually spit at all.
143: N/m, it was just kinda dumb. That's an ugly bike.
It's not a coincidence that the comments devolve to trading gross-out videos on the very same day that Atrios appears here, is it?
Off to bed!
147: I'm not as easily baited as you think, dear.
re: 129
That's probably true for boxers who've never done any kickboxing but I'm pretty sure a really good boxer could convert over much more easily than other martial artists could go the other way.
Good boxers really do have preternaturally fast hands and are used to taking hits in ways that most traditional martial artists are not [leaving aside thai boxing, savate combat and a few others that are already much closer to boxing anyway].
Nice clip here of a savate guy (red, white and blue shorts) fighting a thai boxer under K-1 rules.

Oh definitely. That kind of fake definitely no good once they get more experienced. A guy at my studio was a golden gloves when he was younger, and I learned the hard way that getting too close was a bad idea.
#149: Sorry, Bitch, I underestimated you. Lemme try again.
Happy Holidays, everyone. I'm off to bed.
re: 152
Yeah, the other thing I've experienced, when I went from boxing to karate (many years ago)* was that karate guys' idea of how boxers punch was fairly comical.
'Throw a hook, and I'll block it'
[throws actual 'boxing' hook, arms held tight to the body, which the guy has zero chance of blocking]
'No, not like that, a boxer's hook'
[mimes huge looping comedy haymaker like something from a 1930s movie].
I'd only done a few months of boxing and even then it was pretty obvious to me that they'd have been pwned by anyone with real boxing experience.
* was never any good at either ...
Balrog the boxer was always the worst character to select in Street Fighter II, while Ken and Ryu, the karate guys, were the best. But in real life, very few karate guys can throw fireballs.
You should really look out for the ones who can, though.
'Throw a hook, and I'll block it'
[throws actual 'boxing' hook, arms held tight to the body, which the guy has zero chance of blocking]
'No, not like that, a boxer's hook'
That's classic.
Here is an ultra-pwning in a less violent medium. Wait until Mikhail comes out!
And here's the thing: that first guy is a hardcore professional, a soloist with a real career.
Sounds like someone's curiosity led him to view disturbing zit videos.
No, no, YouTube is boring and unoriginal. Zit videos have nothing to do with it. But I'm impressed that all these videos were so quickly assembled without assistance. It's just too bad that the Japanese game show with the dudes getting nailed in the crotch by the giant mousetrap didn't make an appearance.
My objection is different from Jake's.
Here is Nureyev--Nuyerev!--getting bossed around by some random ballet teacher with a triangle-bun.
Here it is. And I was just trying to channel Teo.
Just open them in different windows and wait for the video to download. Takes time, but in some cases is surely worth it.
There's no way to know which one's be worth it and which won't, though, and it really takes a long time. Also I don't care that much.
"one's be" s/b "ones'll be"; it's late.
45: We've got to hook Brian up with Megan.
Wow. That video of violence was so cool.
As we're at it, do you have some others of people hurting - maybe even killing or maiming, yay - each other? Mere punching gets old after a while, even if the pain, fear and uncomprehension of the poordude (ahah, the poordude!, ahah) remains the same.
And make it recurring? Will it be recurring here? Cool.
I'll have you know that I literally had nightmares about that zit popping video. Is there any way to unsee it?
173 represents that rare occurrence where sarcasm serves to increase the overall earnestness of the comment. Banned!
Is there any way to unsee it?
You could try watching it in reverse.
I hurt myself laughing at this.
