One can only hope that at the very least the morons were presented with a bill for the wasted time of both the ambulance service and the fire brigade.
My youngest showed me this video. Surely, this is wáy beyond 'drying your wet dog in the microwave' stupidity. It's about 10mins of toe-crunching stupidity. When watching, I realised that reality is bigger than the most stupid fantasy. There must be a lesson in it somewhere...

I sent this to a mate of mine earlier today and said to him it is a potential Darwin Award nominee.
Should have left it on...
You've got it wrong. It was a gallant attempt but the fact that he survived, and that he didn't damage his gonads in the process mean he is still able to procreate and therefore failed to remove his genes from the pool. Thus he doesn't qualify for the D.A.

I wonder how much this cost the taxpayer and I wonder how much they earn through ad revenue.
I rewatched this with my oldest just a few minutes ago.
I admire the professionalism of the first responders! Truly these heroes show dedication, concentration and look non-biased when working to relief a dumb man (not using stronger language here on the G&D) from his predicament.
Menno
I am away with work and this has just featured on the local news with an interview of the "star" - what an utter f***ing contemptible piece of s*** douchebag he is, he thought the whole thing hilarious and encouraged people to view his other videos as they are monetised.
Fire and rescue service are livid, but unable to charge him a £650 fee as his life was genuinely in danger :(
I managed 90 seconds but couldn't be doing with his stupid voice
I’m on holiday & wifi is too slow to watch, but from the above and the opening couple of seconds of footage, dear god some people are just beyond help

To be a Darwin Award nominee, don’t you have to die?
And now that video will get millions of views, they'll get loads of subscribers and make money out of this whole incident. If youtube had some sense they'd remove this content and temporarily ban these idiots/
Can someone tell me how this deters idiots doing it again if all they see is these guys getting huge publicity and loads of hits?
Die or be rendered incapable of having kids. Shame he used polyfilla, plaster of Paris would have been much better for the Darwin attempt :)
What an absolute fool.
At the risk of reading too much into this latest example of idiocy, it seems as a society we’ve more or less reached something similiar to the hunger games or running man idea or maybe a digital circus maximus would be more accurate. Sure we’ve always had daft idiots but the monetisation of stupidly risky behaviour by the desperate for the amusement of the masses...hardly a step forward.
