"It's such a sadness, that Santa thinks he has seen Best of the Worst on his telephone. He thinks he experienced it, but he's been cheated." -David Lynch
It bugs me so much that Tim was clearly and repeatedly trying to get the others to ask him "So, what was the bad thing you did with a forklift that made them show you this kind of video?" and no-one ever took the bait. Of all forklift injuries, forklift accident blue balls are the worst.
I wonder if he had a joke ready on the chamber and was only waiting, or if he was, drunkenly, just being ominous and if someone asked he wouldn’t know what to really say - And which one would’ve been the funniest outcome.
@@Tetragrammaton22 I was going to say that, or his story was just so simple that it wasn't worth including. He mentioned hitting the corner of something with a forklift. Maybe that's all it was. Hopefully it was just mundane and not something that he ended up asking them to cut out or something.
I will always respect Tim’s dedication to getting absolutely sloshed by the time they get to discussing the first video Edit: Tim's hilarious in all of his episodes y'all, didn't mean this as a criticism lol
It's like when your usually bearded dad suddenly shaves out the blue/1st time you see him like that,...'like who da hell is this fuck?' then you work out who it is but your still slightly cheeped out by them. Thats clean shaven Tim...slightly creepy.
@@johncole4183at first I completely agreed with you until they started showing clips from the tape. There have been times in my job (in and around forklifts for the better part of fifteen years) where if there is ever an accident or a workman's comp claim, they gather us up like the livestock we are to watch videos exactly like this. This isn't a training video, it's an accident prevention tape. There actually is a difference.
December 22, 1944 Dearest Hilda, I wish I could tell you that things were going better out here on the front, but I must confess that the war is only more and more horrible each day. Yesterday we were hit by the US 420th Forklift Regiment. Though we were quickly reinforced by two battalions of pallet jacks, we couldn't hold the line, and we were slowly lifted and placed on high shelves deeper within the borders of our own Fatherland. Do you remember Klaus, our friend from school? He's gone, Hilda, lost during a desperate counterattack when he foolishly lifted a crate with his back rather than his knees. I can still see his wide terrified eyes as he clutched at me and begged for aspirin and workman's comp. I can still hear the beeping of the Americans' forklifts slowly backing up, only to come at us again and again. What horrors we have brought on ourselves in this destructive and terrible war. I can only pray that one day I make it home safely to you and our daughters. Yours ever, Hans P.S. Oh God, I can hear the squeaky wheels approaching. Lord have mercy, they're coming at us with handtrucks.
@@twaltThe funny part is that Oregon is actually pronounced closer to what Mike was saying ("or a gun"). Which makes Tim's insistence even funnier. Speaking as a Washingtonian and longtime resident of the Pacific Northwest.
So apparently a third Feeders movie was released THIS YEAR and I'm almost certain it's in response to the attention RLM's given the series. That being said, it's apparently a 'comedy', and as the great Rich Evans has explained: the worst thing a bad movie can try to do is be intentionally funny.
I feel like it’s probably a rule of thumb with old people to not risk another potential fall helping a fellow senior up. The only youth in the room, Jay, was probably busy planning on his eventual hair growth and didn’t notice.
49:00 The Discussion about Forklifts in WW2 made me as a German who grew up with only Hollywood on West-German TV and after think of the most stupid thing Let's be honest, they would have had built a Mecha-Cyborg-Thule-Black-Sun-Forklift to flip the whole United States of America over. As a German, this is what Hollywood taught me to think like Prost & Merry Christmas from Berchtesgaden in the Bavarian Alps
Is he for hire? Drunk Mike would completely change my Christmas season. I would offer min wage, all the alcohol he wants, food, and a place to be unconscious. He will have to provide his own TP.
It's a little known fact that after witnessing the overwhelming tactical advantages of the American forklift, the Nazis created their own forklift military division: the Liftwaffe
Got to love how even in their late-late-late 40's, Mike has a childlike fascination with utility vehicles and Jay still laughs uncontrollably at the word "poo".
3:49 Something about Jay's "They got a little spaceship set and everything" just killed me. It sounded so sincere, like he was judging a grade school science fair project and he was legitimately impressed. Meanwhile, crumbled black bag alien turd growls menacingly.
@@octopiratetv8768 Sort of, that's Rich and Mike's exaggeration of what he said to mock him. He said something like that it's worth noting Feeders was one of the first amateur-but-commercially-available shot-on-video movies.
I'm not saying Jay murders cats all I'm saying is when I roomed with him in med school I returned to my cat, dead in a fridge with the cryptic note "cat dead. Details later"
In this episode, Rich confuses Vore fetish with Cannibalism fetish. Also in this episode, Jay pretends he has heard of, but doesn't really know what a "feeder" is.
William Wegman’s Weimaraners were on Sesame Street for at least 30 years. They did 30 second segments with nursery rhymes and counting, they might actually still be airing them occasionally
Tim got blasted last Christmas also. He asked if they could finish watching the 2nd Chance bulletproof vest video because he couldn't leave until he sobered up lol.
That would be historically inaccurate, because the forklifts were primarily used in the European theater, as Rich and Mike were explaining in the video.
@@RandyHawkeye Yeah, they did get deployed early on in the conflict, but the Japanese would hide in the foliage and push over the American forklifts as they passed by, the American losses were so great, that the entire 5th forklift cavalry division was pulled out of the Pacific theater, but they would go on to play an important role in Italy.
37:21 I love that they show more concern for the dog than when they watched a man put a gun point blank to his chest and shoot himself to test a protective vest in one of the past videos.
The dog doesn't understand he can hurt its tongue licking the running electric mixer. Meanwhile, the Second Chance guy, Richard Davis, knew full well what kind of potential risks there are with shooting a gun at yourself, even wearing a Kevlar vest, but he had confidence enough in his product that he would take that risk to demonstrate its effectiveness. *tl;dr* below about how Richard Davis is incidentally a crook. With the development of his "Ultima" and "Ultimax" vests, made out of 'Zylon', a kind of polymer material technically stronger than the traditional Kevlar material, he neglected to tell the Department Of Justice, or his other customers, of its fatal flaw: lifespan. All soft body armor degrades over time just from being worn, being exposed to sweat, sunlight, body heat, ambient heat (like living in Florida or sitting in a hot car in the summer), even air, but the Zylon material degraded MUCH faster than the traditional Kevlar material, so people used to wearing body armor for a certain period of time before disposing of and replacing it, were now wearing expired armor, and they didn't even know it, Second Chance certainly wasn't telling people about the short expiration date, and Richard Davis was 100% aware of this. This would come to light in 2003, when two police officers were seriously injured from their Zylon vests failing to stop the bullets they were rated for, and lead to a protracted legal battle between Richard Davis and the Department Of Justice which only was settled a couple of years ago. Second Chance had to recall all of its Zylon armor, and promptly went into bankruptcy as a result, being acquired by another company unrelated to Rich Davis.
@@jamesd4223 Yeah. The Kevlar armor he sold all worked great, but he really just hoped the Zylon wouldn't be a problem, for him. Mind, regular civilians can buy body armor too, he didn't tell them either, and there's something especially screwed up about selling a product that's supposed to save your life but which has a really big flaw like that you don't tell people about.
Lol. Of all the weird knee-jerk reactions I've experienced in every day life in Wisconsin.. people immediately correcting one's pronunciation of Oregon (the town) was by far the most baffling. Is this the one hill (or mound) everyone is willing to die on?
Mike failing to point out the guy from _Star Trek: First Contact_ in _Santa With Muscles_ is clearly a sign of how bad the dementia and alcoholism have gotten. It's time for an intervention I think.
For a glorious minute, I thought you had written the phrase, “Star Trek: First Contact with Santa Claus”, and I’m very disappointed that movie doesn’t exist.
I think the record was set when he asked Jay “remember when you murdered Cats” in one of The Halloween BOTW and then kept on saying “goodnight sweet cats” but may be wrong
@@Scott_Silver I think you’re right. They actually had to come back and film a second day for that episode, because they were all so drunk and it was a trainwreck.
I get it, though, they had to watch miserable dogs dressed up to really, really uncomfortable narration. It's how they avoid psychological trauma. At least, it's how they avoid some of it.
@@Mortico88 My long time assumption is that Rich loves booze, recognizes it's negative impact on his life, and smokes weed in between most takes to be a part of the 'party' atmosphere. As everybody who has tried weed can agree, weed is great. But I'm guessing it's something he does while playing with Jack online to enjoy himself, except for BotW episodes. I base this on nothing.
@@michael.devitt yeah, rich is a teetotaler, as in, he uses nothing... some people can actually live without drugs.... and, in response to the "weed is great" line.... I smoked for a close to a decade and then quit. at a certain point it becomes boring and just a fucking brain fogging numbing useless thing.... maybe once in a while at a party, but I wouldnt even pay a dime to use any
It's usually sitting on the table in most episodes. They body mic in the discussion and you can tell based on the editing beside them wiping them out for jokes all the time.
Mike has an uncanny ability to spot whenever an actor is drunk during their scenes. But i guess it should come as no surprise considering the amount of personal experience he has on this subject.
I’m so glad Tim is on this video and not at my Christmas party because he seems like the type of drunk who will trap you in a conversation that makes no sense and pass out on the floor near the toilet.
I feel like this is at least the fourth time that they've started talking about a different movie only to end up talking about National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation.
As someone who has done years of warehouse work, I like Mike appreciating how dangerous forklifts are. Everytime I see a youtube page watching these type of videos or accident prevention stuff it gives me chills because if you know you know.
I always laugh to think of the relationship between Mike and Rich like certain directors who have their "leading man". Hitchcock and Grant. Scorsese and DeNiro. Kurosawa and Mifune. Stoklasa and Evans.
It's endearing seeing a drunk Mike talk about what he's learnt about forklifts like he's 10 year old
I see Mike has the Holiday Alcoholic Blush going on.
they're all so drunk about 45 mins in lol I'm dying.
As someone who works in the safety field, the takeaways that Mike brought up - especially given that he was probably drunk and mostly trying to make fun of the video - are exactly the correct takeways, making this apparently a very effective forklift safety video.
@@YummyCummyMan I'm dying for more drunk episodes lol but you know, without the alcoholism. This episode had me dying

I can still see his wide terrified eyes as he clutched at me and begged for aspirin and workman's comp.

Tim’s “it’s OreGON” caught me completely off guard and I lost it
That deserves more appreciation.
Lol. Of all the weird knee-jerk reactions I've experienced in every day life in Wisconsin.. people immediately correcting one's pronunciation of Oregon (the town) was by far the most baffling. Is this the one hill (or mound) everyone is willing to die on?

47:50 Tim’s *reeeeally* hoping someone will take the hint and ask him what he did that required him to get remedial forklift safety training.
Just think - they’re probably editing this year’s episode now🔥
Very excited
Probably drunk as well
@@A-small-amount-of-peas we can only hope
@@A-small-amount-of-peas to be completely fair that can be said during any time of the year lol
Kind of heartwarming that we all come back to old Christmas episodes while we wait for a new one to be released
Jay, fantastic job editing this train-wreck into something that made me laugh out loud.
Next do Tim's intervention.
I'm not even halfway though this and have laughed 3 or 4 times.
Intervention? That would be like pissing on the Mona Lisa.
Just have it go like Chrissy's one in The Sopranos where it goes off the rails almost immediately
Mike failing to point out the guy from _Star Trek: First Contact_ in _Santa With Muscles_ is clearly a sign of how bad the dementia and alcoholism have gotten. It's time for an intervention I think.
For a glorious minute, I thought you had written the phrase, “Star Trek: First Contact with Santa Claus”, and I’m very disappointed that movie doesn’t exist.
I would happily watch that film.
Jay crying tears of Joy after Mike’s 15-minute Wikipedia search punchline truly put me in the Christmas spirit.
Mike forgetting "orphan" was funnier than it should be.
I had a Weimreiner growing up and my parents kept buying me William Wegman's books even though they scared the shit out of me
These are "why mariners" though.
We mariners. Like we three kings, but an unspecified quantity. That video would be incredibly dull AND frightening to a child.
Also: tiny Gortons fishermen.
*Wiener Miner
Weimaraner - German city of Weimar (Thuringia) pronounced WHY-MAAR.
Their concern for the dog's tongue was absolutely adorable.
There needs to be a live blood-alcohol meter in the corner of the screen for Mike at all times. This might be a new record
I think the record was set when he asked Jay “remember when you murdered Cats” in one of
The Halloween BOTW and then kept on saying “goodnight sweet cats” but may be wrong
@@Scott_Silver I think you’re right. They actually had to come back and film a second day for that episode, because they were all so drunk and it was a trainwreck.
Allegedly
We need a “liver” gauge o meter to show us how destroyed Mike’s liver and kidneys are from his drinking addiction.
I get it, though, they had to watch miserable dogs dressed up to really, really uncomfortable narration. It's how they avoid psychological trauma. At least, it's how they avoid some of it.
As a forklift operator for over 10 years, cheers Mike.
Tim's "Are you sure this isn't a Tool video?" made me laugh way harder than it made anyone in the room with him laugh.
Same here, because he's so fucking RiGHT, it does totally look like a Tool video XD
Tim wearing NIN shirt for the black spin raffle, mentioning Tool now
man's got taste
I was trying to figure out why the Feeders were so familiar
That shit got me good
Adam Jones’ filmography includes Jurassic Park, Terminator 2, and Feeders 2
Of course Jay is the first to start talking about drowning cats.
Good night, sweet cats.
Don't tell anyone he actually has a cat.
*garbled cat sounds*
Like the movie says, "Don't Fuck with cats."
I was gonna save this for Christmas Eve, but the siren call of Rich's laughter lured me in.
There's some real good cinematography in the ending skit. Sometimes I wonder how you manage to be so talented and still make Space Cop so bad.
They knew what to do wrong.
@@woopsallberries4969 It's stylistically designed to be that way
@@seamusthatsthedog4819 and you're listening to the music
@@seamusthatsthedog4819Just like The Phantom Menace
OK, so it's the Star Wars Holiday Special "whip/stir/beat" cooking segment, but instead of a robot and a wookiee, it's these depressed dogs.
Live, from the Weimar Republic homeworld of Thuringia.
Rich Evans didn’t need AA, he just needs to look at Mike and think, “Fuck drinking.”
*indistinguishable gibberish* Chris Pratt.
I'm of the opinion that he doesn't drink because he prefers weed.
@@Mortico88 or he's just able to function like a normal human being.
@@Mortico88 My long time assumption is that Rich loves booze, recognizes it's negative impact on his life, and smokes weed in between most takes to be a part of the 'party' atmosphere. As everybody who has tried weed can agree, weed is great. But I'm guessing it's something he does while playing with Jack online to enjoy himself, except for BotW episodes. I base this on nothing.
@@michael.devitt yeah, rich is a teetotaler, as in, he uses nothing... some people can actually live without drugs....
and, in response to the "weed is great" line.... I smoked for a close to a decade and then quit. at a certain point it becomes boring and just a fucking brain fogging numbing useless thing.... maybe once in a while at a party, but I wouldnt even pay a dime to use any
The fact that Mike knows who Jake Paul is... That just a whole new layer of evil to this whole enterprise
The way Rich keeps pronouncing Weimaraner makes me think of a comic book character called the Wee-Mariner, like a little person Sub-Mariner.
The Wiener-Miner! He mines Wieners! No wait, never mind.
Rich's acting is getting really good. He really sells the "creepy weirdo burying stuff in the woods". You can't even tell he's acting...
I have literally never seen the microphones in the viewing room until this episode when Mike starts grabbing them
In the Black Spine video Jay is talking directly to the microphone during California Big Hunks.
It's usually sitting on the table in most episodes. They body mic in the discussion and you can tell based on the editing beside them wiping them out for jokes all the time.
butyourbraindid
They do a very good job with audio, its something thats not noted when its done well but noted when its terrible.
Rich's ever-evolving pronunciation of "Weimaraner" made this a Christmas stocking gem for me. "Weederminer" might be the best one.
It was a thing of beauty.
I grew up with a weimaraner dog. They just look naturally miserable.
Man I worked at a puppy store and I love weimaraners! They shouldn't be depressed looking they r very goofy playful lapdogs. Wtf did you do to yours?
@@RaptorRockDrakeJesus that dog has seen some shit..
Wouldn't be a Christmas without "Allegedly" getting used multiple times.
At least it's someone new, the David Carradine stuff is getting old.
@@Mortico88 Hang around a bit, I was the same for a time but after a while I found myself getting choked up at the joke again.
Allegedly
When you think about it, forklifts really are just another edged weapon. Merry Christmas!
Mike has an uncanny ability to spot whenever an actor is drunk during their scenes. But i guess it should come as no surprise considering the amount of personal experience he has on this subject.
Alternate title: Depressed sober man has his drunk friends remind him why the holidays are dead.
The bit at the end makes me wish these guys would make a movie or something. They could call it Spade Cop.
Why on Earth would you wish for that? The fuck is wrong with you?
Merry Christmas.
Or they could call it “Place Cop”, about a cop at a place
Whenever Mike grabs liquor and says "No No No", you know we're in for a rough ride.
Mike freaking out when the dog tried to licking the blender are kinda heartwarming
Dogs and the elderly are his weakness. Except Cop Dogs.
Of all the bizarre mispronunciations of Weimaraner, my favorite is Rich's "Wiener-miner".
The Seven Dwarves were Weiner Miners
I love the fact that Mike and Tim are completely smashed in this video.
how could you forget famous alcoholic Rich Evans?
@@biggrimace6506 Rich seems to be okay. Mike is a bit drunk. Tim is still passed out and this was probably filmed last week....
@@jasonlederman315 I don't remember where I heard it, but I'm almost certain Rich does not drink at all.
@@AegisRick I meant Mike. You are correct. He used to be a bad drunk and stopped drinking (it was mentioned in earlier BotW episode)
@@jasonlederman315 Ya Jack and Rich both stopped drinking cause it got too much
Underrated line of the show early on from Tim... "are you sure this isn't a Tool video? LOL
He knocked it out of the park with that one.
Tim is a man of culture I see.
"Mike left to go make a poo" has been the hardest I've laughed in awhile, the music is so dramatic
The way he looks directly into the camera for a second or two right after Mike leaves is the cherry on top. He had made up his mind in that moment.
that's when I 'Stop tape here for discussion'!!
I got a kick out of how genuinely scared for the dog Mike was during the mixer scene.
"It's kinda like being the first person to jump off a bridge" --Rich Evans, VHS historian.
Tim without a mustache looks like when the animators forget to put in a key detail of a character.
This should have more likes
Or when one of the stars of your movie has to come back for reshoots, after cutting or shaving their hair.
@@steveharvey2102 Looking at you, Henry Cavill...although you won't have to worry about *that* ever again.
I’m so glad Tim is on this video and not at my Christmas party because he seems like the type of drunk who will trap you in a conversation that makes no sense and pass out on the floor near the toilet.
Something always seems to come up to trigger Tim and drive him to drink himself into oblivion. Let's add forklifts to the list.
13:31 for not being a cat murderer (ALLEGEDLY) jay does a perfect drowning cat noise
The narrator from 'Faye's Twelve Days of Christmas' would be the perfect narrator 'Microwave Meals for One'
I feel like this is at least the fourth time that they've started talking about a different movie only to end up talking about National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation.
Would be perfect re:view fodder if they haven't done it already
As someone who has done years of warehouse work, I like Mike appreciating how dangerous forklifts are. Everytime I see a youtube page watching these type of videos or accident prevention stuff it gives me chills because if you know you know.
I always laugh to think of the relationship between Mike and Rich like certain directors who have their "leading man". Hitchcock and Grant. Scorsese and DeNiro. Kurosawa and Mifune. Stoklasa and Evans.
Stoklasa and Evans, when the Wheel fell.
@@TerrenceNowicki Culkin, his arms wide
Burton and Depp too.
@@NoAssemblyRequierd Donald Farmer, his breathing heavy.
@@TerrenceNowicki I literally laughed out loud, well played 😂
3 cheers for a very healthy looking Rich Evans
Hip hip!
@@adamkramer9080 Technically, a cheer is "hip hip hurray", so that's only 2/3 of a cheer.
Family. Family. Family.
Rich stays in Shape by playing with Muscular Rubber Gay Men action figures.
Three cheers for Captain Biggs!
I would kill for Forklift Wars: The Secret Story to be a real movie.
Directed by Quinton Tarantino?
the vistas are great
I know right!?
They could fight the militarized dinosaurs from Jurassic World.
Remember Robot Wars UK back in ye old days ? that but forklifts would be great.
i'm just here to say in appretiation: Jay's editing is hilarious
I'm waiting for a feature length William Wegman Shining.
@@andyoli75 I was gonna say it seemed Lynchian in his hands :D
Breenius
Couldn't agree more
Both Mike and Jay are great editors!
