LOL!
Hahaha!!!

Your comment( picture the chef:s kiss emoji)
Dear lord
There was a guy in my hometown who had painted his car to have Pac Man and the ghosts on it. It had yellow truck nuts with a blue vein. It was the first time I truly witnessed art.
Yes truly
it is true art
yeah i saw this on a truck in front of us when we went to McDonald's I was like maybe 12
Bokita nuts (this is a really obscure joke, I hope somebody gets it...)
nads-man
I love how both these guys' concept of "this is my original idea" is "I saw someone else do it then I stole it to make money off it"
Well if they turned spmethinf they saw into a comoany then it was their idea.
@@PolishBehemoth No? That's not how... anything works? And if the grandma story is true, he didn't even come up with the idea of selling them, she did.
It's the American way.
@@firerabbit2659 People have been doing that for well before America existed
a cock fight
I want a very serious Netflix documentary about this topic with the guests saying NUTS so many times that it breaks a record.
That would be amazing.
@@TazmilyGum No, it would be NUTS 🥜. . .
No? Ye-yeah I’ll see myself out. 😔
@@viderevero1338 nah bro keep going. It’s fire.
@@viderevero1338 you’d be absolutely nuts if you thought that that wasn’t hilarious
Yes, this please.
The fact that someone out there made low-poly nuts for the cybertruck leads me to believe that the day we have space travel as part of our routine, cosmic truck nuts will become a thing.
ok wow I wanna shit on truck nuts but lets be real they'd look better on a spaceship with no one around to really see em
@@xhappybunnyx space balls lol
"My other ride is a flying saucer"
Rockets are already phallic so sounds about right
We need a brave soul to put nuts on one of the space shuttles.
I can safely say my life could be divided into two eras. Before and after learning about truck nuts.
Lol fr. I live in a small north Cali town and there was too many people that unironically had some on their pickups, even cars. Embarrassing even though don’t see them as much now
They were everywhere
i remember seeing them on the way home from school
That's what trauma does to you
Blatn (before learning about truck nuts) and Alatn (after learning about truck nuts) for all you truck nut timeline junkies
I’ve lived in Texas my whole life , I remember the first time I almost got into a car accident was with a huge pickup truck sporting truck nuts violently swerving in front of me to avoid a small plastic grocery bag on the road. After that you couldn’t convince me that anyone with these bad boys swanging off the back was a responsible driver. It’s been a couple of years since I’ve seen them again, but that’s what happens when you live in Austin lol.
Late 2000s through early 2010s these things were practically everywhere in the roads.
Im sorry you live in austin
I've heard that Truck nuts can look really bad on you if you get into an accident. Same thing with having a brightly painted firearm in a shooting situations
@@DixieSchizo That doesn't even make sense. Since when does how a vehicle is decorated even figure into an accident report at all?
I live in Alabama, used to see them almost constantly in the late 2000's and 2010's.
What makes this story so legendary for me is that this is such a hyper specific brand of southern America that you can vividly imagine the country accents on the both of them and their quotes and how they sounded fighting the entire time. It's so stupid and ridiculous that you just KNOW it's true, and that's what makes it fantastic
Fr
In high school we thought it was funny to castrate one of the pickups in the parking lot. Unfortunately our victim and unknown to us he had his nuts given to him by a student who passed away. He told the principal on us. Resolving the dispute was highly emotional and insanely awkward conflict. One of the most ridiculous situations I have ever found myself in.
Those were some very special truck nutz🤣
His buddy's balls must've been a sight to behold
You found it funny to vandelize and destroy someones property? You deserve all the bad things that will happen to you in your life.
Oh good fucking god lolll
play stupid games, win stupid prizes?
My friends dad had a suit of armor in his living room, with trucks nuts dangling as armor nuts. One day his little granddaughter ran up and tried to get them and that was the end of those. The way to make them more classy is get rid of them lol
lol
Can you imagine buying a pair of these unironically? Furthermore, can you imagine buying a pair of these under any circumstance?
lmao it's so trashy it wraps back to class
Someone I knew in high school had (probably still has) a key chain like this. He called it his "balls of steel".
I'm really tempted to put some on my Camry but I'm not the only one who drives it and I doubt the other owners would agree to it 🤣
Truckers who hauled livestock put the on their trucks since they were a representation of the cargo.
no, i cant! because i can make them myself
I used to drive a shitty ol' truck sitting on big blocks in high school, went through a big phase afterward of cringing at trucks and my past self, but at least I never took this plunge lmao
i’m proud of you for never caving into the truck nut calling
@C mac 55th street lmao i hope this is satire cause if so it’s pretty good
Tuck nuts are amazing I forgot they existed before this video
An important part of truck nut history is there's a picture of Oprah Winfrey holding a pair. They were gifted to her by a tone-deaf committee in Alberta during a 2013 speaking tour
2013? Damn I remember seeing them in like 2007. Truck nuts and the recession is how I remember pre-2010 Alberta.
Tone deaf?
You made me look that up lol turns out it was a purse shaped like truck nuts aha
Thanks for bringing this to our attention 😅
It's kinda hilarious that these dude argued with eachother over who invented it first, when both admitted they were inspired by seeing someone else having done it before them 🤣
THAT TRUCK NUTS WEBSITE HAS BEEN AN INSIDE JOKE BETWEEN ME AND MY FRIENDS FOR SO LONG. I'm glad to see it be covered on this beautiful channel
It is intensely fascinating to me that two boomers taking their businesses to war over *_truck nuts_* of all things are smarter about advertising and selling their products than modern businesses are about just simply driving their own sales of just ordinary shit.
That took balls to create!
Good one, CF!!
Man they must be going nuts making that
This is an insane story lol...well made! Never knew these existed
Ahhh your not old enough or not in the USA. I remember someone who I worked with had a huge pair on a crappy little Geo Metro hatchback! Hilarious!
Oh bless your yankee heart
@@daminox I live in Wisconsin and I see them occasionally. (Always metal)
You must be from another country lol come to where I’m from in Alabama or Georgia and you’ll see plenty.
I’m Mississippi, you’ll find plenty of trucks with these swinging about.
These things were popular in South Africa too during the 2000s and early 2010s, but I never realized it was such a cut-throat business.
Haha I am also from SA and I remember it too
You should cover the misuse of Calvin from Calvin and Hobbes. People used to have decals of him peeing or praying. The creator of this well loved comic, Bill Watterson, was not happy about it.
wait yeah wtf is up with those?
If you didn't have a pissing Calvin, your truck nutz only got you partial credit.
Those always confused the heck out of me when I was a kid! I thought I recognized Calvin from the comics, but I could not figure out what he had to do with Christianity or peeing on stuff, so then I wondered if it was actually him.
i don't remember them on trucks, but i do remember seeing them pissing on football teams on the short time i had facebook, specially a bart simpson version of it
OMG yes I'm so tired of peeing calvin.
Where I live, 98% of the knuckle dragging hillbillies have these on all of their vehicles. I even saw them on a mower once. The brass ones seem to be the most popular.
Nothing says heterosexual male quite like the proud display of silicone testicles on your automobile.
Where I live (up north) they're a bit rare, but he can confirm the brass ones are the most popular here too!
Brass nutckles
It was rarely the hillbillies with them where I live. It was the shaved-head wraparound sunglasses guys driving pavement princess diesel pickups that they put an impractical lift on (who does that to a crew cab, seriously?) with aftermarket wheels and tires that don't fit right. $80k rolling mortgage embarrassments driven by lower management types trying to look tough during their midlife crisis.
@@rwaitt14153 man you just described half the guys at my high school graduation I am pretty sure that's the ricer of the truck community
I live in a town where a lot of people have trucks and I've seen these all my life, both homemade and 'official'- honestly never thought about them at all so this was interesting
i've seen where someone got 2 giant nuts and hung them with wire. Nuts like nuts and bolts
So, they were arguing over who invented truck nuts... When both of them got the idea from other people making homemade ones.
An old family friend of mine use to have a pair of truck nuts. This entire video I could stop rethinking of the time I was a little kid just staring at a massive pair of metal balls just dangling from their truck
Those gentlemen had quite a turgid disagreement even though their businesses were experiencing rapid tumescence.
FINE I’ll break out a dictionary to read your fucking comment.
Since then business has climaxed and subsequently deflated to the point that some might call it downright flaccid.
Arguing over something so ridiculous? Those two really need to act mature, and grow a pair.
In Canada I've only seen these once in a blue moon. I never realized there was video advertising for them, that is awesome.
I saw my first pair of truck nuts when I was probably 9 or 10. My mom’s friend/ co-worker would carpool to a job downtown. My mom’s friend was pretty masc and drove a truck. I remember when she drove up and pulled in to our driveway with a set of ‘bull testicles’ to my complete confusion. It was wild to me haha
Yuck. Can’t stand “ladies” like that.
Fragile masculinity.
Fragile masculinity.
I was just wondering the other day what happened to those stickers of a kid turning and smiling while pissing onto a logo or something. There were a bunch of them everywhere when I was kid lol
Ooooh yeeeeeahhh... that was a specific brand. What brand was that?
no fear?
Was the kid specifically Calvin from the comic Calvin and Hobbes? Those are the versions I've seen often even though they're unofficial
@@byakuyatogami2905 ayyyyye as soon as I read it, I pictured him perfectly lol yeah I think that was him
Lol the creator of Calvin and Hobbes actually really HATES those stickers
Anyone with these on their vehicle further reinforce the idea of “overcompensation”
Or just having a sense of humour? 😂
Wipe yours out then "big boy"
@@wileyriley9638 thanks but no, I’m not gay
Exactly. You putted it quite better than I. I can't imagine myself needing thoses. I don't like balls that mutch either.
I can’t believe that actually exists.
“Tastefully made and not disrespectful”. I strongly fucking disagree with that mate.
The fact that these macho types lose the homoerotic subtones on these is the best part.
it's akin to 'the enemy you know.' if it's 'ironic' how could it pertain to them
Everyone back in the pile
You act surprised. Look up racism in the gay community. These are popular around gyms, and areas where guys care deeply about their health/muscles so yeah staring at themselves all day gay af.
That comment is hillarious.
This is the kind of video that you watch either so late at night that it's technically morning or when you really should be working on your assignment.
As someone from outside of the U.S. i am just buffled with the whole Trunk Nuts idea.
Truly, we live in a world of incredible possibilities.
i mean from a wider viewpoint its not surprising its human nature to do stupid stuff and laugh hysterically at it just for the sake of doing it
It’s a hilariously stupid concept. If I see someone with a pair of trucks nuts half of my brain wants to record it and burst out laughing and the other half wants to literally facepalm because the idea is so fucking stupid it’s hard to accurately explain
Truck titties? where do we stop with that.....
I worked in a store that carried these for years. I NEVER sold one.
"wow hes dead that's amazing" best quote ever
I just sent a friend to this video via hidden TH-cam link. I told them that “I think it says a lot about how ancient societies fell, and possibly gave clues to the Bronze Age collapse”
I remember when this got big over in south Carolina I was riding with my parents and this guy has a car with huge rims and it was swinging back and fourth from the back of his car. And my Dad goes what is that? My mom who is a nurse practitioner goes "Honey don't you know it's Deez Nuts" I about died from Laughter
The concept of a “Truck Nut Manifesto” is hilarious
Dude you’ve become one of my favorite content creators! Love the videos bro, keep it up!
This is how companies should be, we would be having the best things because companies want to make it better than their competitors.
I grew up in Texas and these were everywhere 😂 I'd forgotten all about it. Thank you for another great vid. You do an excellent job 💖
What do bad reviews for truck nuts even describe? My balls dropped, 1 star.
It's a wonderful way to tell the whole world that you live in a trailer park and you like it
LOL!
Dude, this was hilarious. I've never seen your content before but you have a great presence and good comedic timing for video. Look forward to seeing more of your content.
So satisfying finding a channel who you really like, just need to be patient for new videos!
I've been rewatching all of your vids! Such good quality and interesting stories!!!
i’m gonna put truck nuts on my toyota corolla
😂
I was thinking it might be funny to put them on random people's cars...
I saw tiny ones on a Prius once. Kinda funny.
I never knew until now how much I needed and wanted to know this. Vince the GOAT
I just encountered one of these on a truck as I was driving back home from work today, and suddenly this video appears. Time to learn more about this.
Vance: “and that company’s .. moose knuckle”
Moose knuckle clothing line : where’s my lawyer ?
I didn't think I needed the history of vehicular testicles, turns out I did.
Nuts with a respectfully placed ribbon.. Talk about class
I needed this. Decades of questions answered in 11 minutes.
Didn't know I wanted this today, but you never disappoint VV
omg u r backkkkk!!! i rewatched your videos so many times lol, great job great job, this is gonna be so much funnnn
I've been waiting for this. You're one of the people I actually enjoy watching!
U know here in Louisiana I never saw these at all. I usally saw and still see the brass balls. I've never seen these plastic ones before
Most inspirational video I’ve ever watched. You’ve earned a subscriber 😢
I love the transition from the story to the sponsor!
Yeah, that was classic!!
I immediately associated anyone using these as literal bottom tier people
I knew someone who had a pair for his Geo Metro! Lol
just want to say you are doing great with these videos. I've watched them all at least 3 times
I found your channel today and I’ve gone through all your videos. Amazing work and subscribed!
This whole story is just ripe for a Netflix documentary series. Hope they credit you ;)
Nice, now talk about Big Mouth Billy Bass, another forgotten bro trend from the early 2000s.
Lol i remember those things
shsssssshhh
That was an unbelievable ride, thank you.
I really enjoy your content and delivery. Thanks ❤
"Hey grandma, what are you up to?" "Oh nothing much sweetheart, just doing what I always do! ... Tying a pair of nuts to a truck"
Glad to see a video about this. Many memories as a kid being very confused on road trips just seeing huge truck after truck with a pair of big, dangling balls.
Also, John Saller had a point--the lengths David went and what he said after John died really makes him sound like a sociopath
this is awesome! First time viewer, but subscribed. I love your presentation and constant jokes, I was laughing non-stop.
Good shit man! Everybody needs to sign up for his patreon so he can devote more time to content creation.
You know what's also clinically proven with some of these "keeps" treatments?
For some it means permanent erectile dysfunction
same with genital cutting!
@@DivineLightPaladin Yea, i agree, circumcision is very bad!
Rest in peace to John Saller, and I hope he realizes that his legacy in this markey is still alive.
When I was a kid I got the largest silver pair and tacked it to my mother's Honda Accord. The reverend at her church had to clip them off once someone noticed them near dragging underneath.
Great video bro. You popped up in my feed and I thoroughly enjoyed it.
Goddammit Vince this is a mastahpiece
if i was drinking milk it would have came out my nose, you area comedy genius and this is some of the best content I have seen since the challenger disaster.
Great video as always! Editing is as always was on point. And yes, I laughed every time you put the “dez nuts” vine.
Happy to see one of my fave content creators post. Thank you :)
Glad you enjoy it!
I’ve seen a truck with a steel chain holding the plastic “nuts” on. A blowtorch would fix that really fast. I’ve even seen hexagonal nuts on a chain. That’s actually pretty witty.
I actually don't mind the ones like that that are an actual hardware nut.
I was thinking, “what if kids see them what will their parents say?“… Same thing as when they point at any animals nuts duh… as long as it is allowable for any animals to walk around not closed with nuts hanging, then so should any truck vehicle or other inanimate object for that matter - regardless of how distasteful.
This..... is a good point.....
See, this is where they went wrong! Rather than putting faux human nuts on a truck, they should’ve designed an automobile-themed nutsack. That way they’re not showing human genitalia to children, they’re showing truck genitalia to children!
The animals have nuts because they were born that way.
The trucks have nuts for the specific purpose of being vulgar and offensive.
It's a very different situation.
@@cgduude So? Honestly who actually gives a shit, this is America we have a right to self expression.
@@sid0946 yeah. And the rest of us have the right to tell you when your personal expression is gross and annoying
I never know what kind of deep dive I’m gonna get here and I love it
Same!
i love vince and this is the first im seeing this video. I'm so mad, another absolute banger. even the ad is good
easily my favorite creator every one of his vidoes is always so damn entertaining
Not sure how I feel about staring at nuts for eleven and a half minutes
Finally! Another quality content from Vince!
Indeed its been awhile since i seen a set, all the country kids in school loved those
This is the kind of saucy content I can get behind
I feel like an elite viewer for having this channel recommended to me by YT algorithm. As in, “hey, based on your viewing history and level of engagement, could we interest your discriminating taste in this new and hip channel that’s going big soon?” Yes, and in these nuts too.
i quite enjoy your content, thank you Vince Vintage
It’s always a good day when Vince Vintage is posting a video
💯
i've lived in texas most of my life and seen the truck nuts one too many times... never did i know the originals were made to actually look like goddamn testicles
.... What else did you think they were supposed to look like?
@@cgduude I’ve seen them with either actually large nuts like from a large bolt or with like massive steel balls hung from a trailer hitch with a chain
Thank you. Thank you truly for this information.
You bet!
Yyeesss finally! Great to see you Vince 😀 I just got out of surgery and I grab my phone when I wake up and see my boy put out a video 😉😉😉
Good luck with your recovery!
@@loveforeignaccents thx! Back surgery..a big one. I woke up out of my fog and saw my boy put out a video!
8:32 The closed caption says "Security had to escortum out of the building". This misspelling could be the perfect Freudian slip. It should have been "Security had to es-scrotum out of the bulding!"
Why does the reasoning need to be "I don't want my daughter seeing that".
How about I don't wanna see truck nuts either. They're just bad
i found a pair cutting grass so i zip tied them to my vw convertible. they would scrape the ground at times. got many laughs. got yelled at n told they were illegal n cops were being called. ahh the nutscrape days.🤣🍻
I...didn't know these things exist, until now. So thanks, Vince!
See this on my home page and literally went "What? Ok Vince you got me."
