i hate to be that guy, but Cam's bit was off bc hes trying to play guitar for Wonderwall. The key to playing Wonderwall is hitting the guitar to something of a beat lmao. also yes, his is my fav as well XD
Cam had the best gimmick, AND the hostile crowd thing was hilarious, and "My keys!" Three of the top four moments in the video were all Cam. (The fourth was Kathleen thinking that hard hats protecting her boobs was a good idea.)
"You there, little boy, is it still 2014, is it too late?" "No sir, it's still Christmas Eve!" "Here, take this shilling and fetch the largest bucket of tennis balls you can find!" "Merry Ballsmas Sir!" "Merry Ballsmas Every One."
Wow. At first I was like "aw, they're not being fired that fast" then I realized just how loud a THUMP the balls were making on the back wall and I realized the tennis balls weren't rebounding much because they were hitting you guys pretty damn squarely. Soft balls must SERIOUSLY suck to be hit with. You guys are great sports about everything and that looked very painful. Bravo. You lot embody commitment to comedy (as if Desert Bus didn't already prove that). I stand in awe of your talents and drive to entertain. :)
3:53 - I'm surprised you were willing to be shot by a Bowling ball, Paul... Also, I love that CaffeinatedLemur is holding coffee for pretty much the entirety of the video. Real commitment to brand, there. Also the fact that he's really a lemur in a sophisticated human-shaped exoskeleton... though, spoiler warning I guess.
Laughed the whole way through. I feel like a bad person that so much amusement came from your pain. Also, is that casual attire for Ian? That man is always so dapper!
That was far more entertaining than it had any business being. This contest is over. Give those guys the $10,000. I mean, Barney's Kickstarter video had heart, but Tennis Balls In The Groin had tennis balls in the groin.
That was fantastic. Cam "playing" Wonderwall, Kathleen's boobie-protector helmets, Graham's viking helmet, Beej's multi-popped collars, Ian's modded helmet, Alex, JAMES. You guys are the best. Is it too much to hope there's a loading time of the next day with a bruise catalog?
Thanks guys, I was in stitches watching this, particularly Cam's crooning. You're all champs. It looked like Alex was gearing up to reenact the first LRR video there at the very end by winging one at James. No pay off though!
It's funny seeing the size difference between Graham and Kathleen for this challenge, especially considering Kathleen wanted to protect her chest which is proabably the main target area on the body. I think my favourite target was Beej. Such fighting spirit.
I've only gotten through Paul's so far, but honestly the funniest thing about this to me right now is the sound of the tennis ball hitting Paul. It's just such a light pat! And you were making it out to be like it was going to be real painful, I dunno, it's just really getting me right now. I bet it didn't actually feel too light, though, so good job for doing this!
I can attest that those cheap "tennis" balls were actually very tough rubber, and garbage. Not featured was just how nasty they are. Also at the speeds they were going very thwak-tacular
If you guys ever do this again (for a 2015 kickstarter maybe?), please use much softer balls like plush balls or something, and fire them more....comedically? Cause that looked like it really hurt, and we love you guys. TLDR: Less pain more comedy pls, we ❤ LRR.
Oh man, when Graham put on the viking helmet I was like: "Hit him in the weak point for massive damage!" Also, I would like to make point, that I, Max Banks Schafer a.k.a. Dusk_shine, hit Kathleen with my allotted tennis ball.
Okay. On later review months down the road, I will say this: everyone getting 'shot' seemed to be actually HAVING FUN - laughter is very common, even in light of the welts and bruises and 'ow!'s Just more proof that you guys rock. Thank you for everything! ^_^
Excellent! Way to commit! I see it was indeed a logistical nightmare but was a great watch! I think Grant should just record voicemails and commercials for all your other funding attempts :D
I laughed, but I feel bad at myself for laughing. You poor guys How many bruises? (Kathleen's eyes looked bruised afterwards, and Poor Beej's face was so red...
Possibly the only good thing to come of the Great TH-cam Disaster of 2021 was that now for some reason I'm getting older content like this popping up in my suggestions a lot more often! This was amazing, I was breathless with laughter by the time Cam took the "stage."
Initially I was surprised that they let Beej wear all that gear, then I was just impressed by the amount of balls he managed to punch out of the air...
L337N1NJ4L1NK it was 2 things, Paul went early and the speed was still lower as I was dialing the machine in, but by the end of his run it was the same speed. Also Paul is very stoic when he gets hit
"Anyway, this is wonderwall"
I like how Heather just screams "Hit him in the Balls!" when Beej is up. That is not responsible family planning.
chaosof99 it just weeds out the weak sperm
Cull the weak
Or very responsible family planning
Or IS it.....
Cam playing guitar while getting pelted by tennis balls was the funniest thing I've seen in a long time!
Canadian BDSM is so weird.
Balls Destroy Several Membersofloadingreadyrun
Cam's bit was the best. Every time I see someone singing a shitty version of Wonderwall I want to launch things at them.
You aren’t the only one

Cam is a national treasure!
VAB0L0
This is probably my favourite rendition of Wonderwall.
Cam with the guitar turned it from cringe-in-sympathy-pain funny to laugh out loud funny. My condolences and/or thanks?
"You there, little boy, is it still 2014, is it too late?" "No sir, it's still Christmas Eve!" "Here, take this shilling and fetch the largest bucket of tennis balls you can find!" "Merry Ballsmas Sir!" "Merry Ballsmas Every One."
Kathleen just called me Alex instead Axel and mispronounced my last names horribly... This is the greatest Christmas present ever!
This was beautiful. I like how they just upgraded to a crossbow for Ian. Wonderful.
Fired by Cori, the only one he'd trust to shoot him with it.
Brendan Dery That just made it better, honestly.
Okay this was absolutely hilarious, especially the parts with Cam trying his best to play the guitar. Honestly great stuff.
Cam cracks me up in this, I can't stop giggling the entire time he's playing and just getting wrecked by the balls.
Wow. At first I was like "aw, they're not being fired that fast" then I realized just how loud a THUMP the balls were making on the back wall and I realized the tennis balls weren't rebounding much because they were hitting you guys pretty damn squarely.

and the spine, and the buttocks, and the face, and the neck, and.... uh oh I didnt do the safety well enough huh? SAFETY!
I love how Kathleen basically embodied a very irritated crow...
24:10 might be my favorite part honestly. All that confidence drained in less than a second.
Julie's concern for Cam is super adorable
Cam, always the showman.
Graham, you're Strong Bad! That's awesome!
cam was downright hilarious!
i have to say cam with the guitar is my favorite by far
That was fantastic. Cam "playing" Wonderwall, Kathleen's boobie-protector helmets, Graham's viking helmet, Beej's multi-popped collars, Ian's modded helmet, Alex, JAMES. You guys are the best. Is it too much to hope there's a loading time of the next day with a bruise catalog?

The crossbow killed me XD

I physically felt every painful hit to that guitar.... And then the tennis balls started.
I love how they just gave up on the apology count half way through.
I love how Graham Cannot stop smiling while watching Kathleen get pelted by tennis balls.
Did any of you find it difficult to avoid the instinct to either dodge or catch the ball?
Edit: Just got to Kathleen.
I lost it with Beej. "FIGHT ME!" *Thwap*
I would say that the guitar was unfairly destroyed but it was being used to play Wonderwall so it was probably praying for death anyway.
If you guys ever do this again (for a 2015 kickstarter maybe?), please use much softer balls like plush balls or something, and fire them more....comedically?
Cause that looked like it really hurt, and we love you guys.
TLDR: Less pain more comedy pls, we ❤ LRR.
'I'm using a lot of parts of my body to make money'
Gotta do what you gotta do
Thank you! That video was the perfect length for giving me something to watch while I finished my Christmas wrapping.
Watching Cam play Guitar while being shot at with Tennis balls in amazing.
Oh man, when Graham put on the viking helmet I was like: "Hit him in the weak point for massive damage!"
Also, I would like to make point, that I, Max Banks Schafer a.k.a. Dusk_shine, hit Kathleen with my allotted tennis ball.
Oh how I wished that I had backed this tier. I figured I was too nice. But I ended up laughing all the way through. especially during hard mode XD
You need to make a fighting game with everyone in their 'protective costumes'. Dong Dong Never Die style.
Man that was amazing, my jaw hurts from all the laughing I did. Just wow.
Cam best reaction!!! :)
Now I will always think of this video when I hear Wonderwall, and will always start looking for a tennis ball when I hear a busker playing it.
Glob willing I will be there with my racquet and a strong serve from the shadows of justice
Great job! I had totally forgotten about this. Very enjoyable. Thank you.
This was hilarious! Thank you for all the great content!
Okay. On later review months down the road, I will say this: everyone getting 'shot' seemed to be actually HAVING FUN - laughter is very common, even in light of the welts and bruises and 'ow!'s
Just more proof that you guys rock. Thank you for everything! ^_^
It was a very fun, if exhausting day of filming. Everyone had a blast
WHERE was James standing during the Ian run, that got him hit in the balls on the rebound? 26:44
Excellent! Way to commit! I see it was indeed a logistical nightmare but was a great watch! I think Grant should just record voicemails and commercials for all your other funding attempts :D
I actually cheered! That was some fantastic ball action, indeed.
Cam is love
Man, you guys must have the best landlord in Victoria.
I'm James James. When can I drive up to collect my ball?
Yes my name really is James James
Fight-stripping as Darth Vader against a tennisball machine using a kendo-training sword? The internet is amazing.
I laughed, but I feel bad at myself for laughing. You poor guys How many bruises? (Kathleen's eyes looked bruised afterwards, and Poor Beej's face was so red...
I love you LRR... Well, you and your visible pain, but nonetheless--Hopefully you all took proper care after this :)
Also, I sure do hope that innocent horse near the end wasn't hurt too badly.
Poor noble beast.
Zaldermenia I had safety rules for a reason, honest. SAFETY
"A NUUU CHEEKI BREEKI" I love you Alex.
Graham got a little Strong Bad-y there.
"This seemed like a better idea at the time" I would like to think this would hit my list of 'never a good idea at ANY time'.
You all are awesome sports! Great job, guys!
Ok, We have El Kabong, and I have to say to Ian, Impressive, Most Impressive!
33:41 Beej getting the dirty combo
Low blow to the balls to show weakness
Then right in the chin
Will there be a bruises extravaganza follow up?
gram saying "wow" in slow mo with beej getting hit in the balls is great
Possibly the only good thing to come of the Great TH-cam Disaster of 2021 was that now for some reason I'm getting older content like this popping up in my suggestions a lot more often! This was amazing, I was breathless with laughter by the time Cam took the "stage."
Krank it! Moar powah!
Didnt look like it hurt at all! :P
It hurt. Trust.
"Eat it Turner!" Bahahaha
also, post a picture of the bruises. Your pain is our entertainment.
I can see that James has played some sportsball in his younger days, really good at catching those balls
Surprising number of Iain's in the list, going to have to watch you guys get hit by tennis balls a second time to pinpoint my victim.
I love that my ball was one of the ones fired at James. I think those 30 names hold a special place in LRR history.
Yeah, totally hope we see a follow up video.
James, I hope that you hope no one has taken a snapshot of... what it is you were doing to protect yourself. XD
That was great! ( probably only to watch but still... :D )
Initially I was surprised that they let Beej wear all that gear, then I was just impressed by the amount of balls he managed to punch out of the air...
Wow you guys are gonna have some epic bruises. Alex's "advanced" tennis racquet technique seemed effective though.
When Paul read off "Isaac D", I got really confused because that's my name but I didn't have enough money to back this tier. XD
"And then the rebound hit James in the balls."
i remeber wondering who ian was the first time i saw this. yay ian!
Oh man the leaf blower almost got used for another thing that isn't leaf blowing!
Cam with the pro guitar
Beej is just in there praising the sun
Ian looks like an elderly golf player in this vid, Points for style!
Cam "Did he Died" ?
Cams was awesome
I'm Cameron Lauder....and this is Wonderwall
Eight popped collars, Beej!
James secretly loved this
Maybe this is improper, but was the speed down for Paul's turn? He seemed less... Flinchy? Either that or he just takes a hit way better.
L337N1NJ4L1NK it was 2 things, Paul went early and the speed was still lower as I was dialing the machine in, but by the end of his run it was the same speed. Also Paul is very stoic when he gets hit
I do not, as it does not come up often. I blame the sea
that looked like a lot of fun
I like the big target on james's shirt.
Hehe, I went right at Beej. Awesome!
Ian's was the best, crossbow balls and jame's rebound ball shot!
Perhaps James wearing something that looked like a target on his shirt was not the best idea.
God damnit, Cameron really is the bestest
love how there was a budget for so many tennis balls and even a guitar but not athletic cups :P
Ian became the Dark Souls
They should have modified the device to control the tennis ball launcher.
Arming The Device?! You'll kill us all!
Ah. The "Silent Partner".
Riiiiiiiiiiiight...
