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.

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.

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."

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.

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'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.

111 isn't zit-popping; it's giant cyst-lancing with fingernails! In, like, rural Thailand or something.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Just open them in different windows and wait for the video to download. Takes time, but in some cases is surely worth it.

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.
