I hade a second cousin. Jimmy Oates. He was 400 + at 18 years old. Joined the Barnam and Bailey circus. As the big man. Weight certified 700 +. Went all over the world his brother Joe was his ticket manager. He got sick in a European country. Lost down to around 250 to 275. While in Europe he went to school. He loved to cook becoming a chef. Came back and cooked for a hotel in Shelby County Texas.
I appreciate the challenges of being tall. I don’t test drive cars, I try them on when I’m in the market. If it fits, I will seriously consider it. Once I find a vehicle that fits and I buy it, I will not be in the market again until it dies. One vehicle we own is a 1998 Dodge and the other is a 2013 Ford. We had to special order the truck we bought in 2022.
Yes very very hard to live with that pain ( joint and bone pain are the worst imaginable...besides, few of these giants are capable of honestly smiling because they are in so much pain)
Yes, thanx for all the videos. Would have been even more entertained if you spoke English - as-in, referenced things in English-measurements. 259cm doesn't mean anything.
Could we see a show of hands for us here in the Good ol' US of A who would love to hear the metric and standard for USA version of weight, length size when these are broadcast?
Regarding Jeff Gabe, it's not both hands and arms. It's just one arm and hand. I saw a video about him a while back and he compared both hands and arms.
So much for typical TH-cam and Internet liars. Robert Earl Hughes weighed 1,000+ pounds. He hadn't been out of bed in three years. When they took him to the hospital for surgery, they had to remove one wall of his house and carry him (in his bed) on the back of a flatbed truck.
The juice didn't cause it. His insane workouts and massive weights he lifted are what destroyed his body. I worked in an Aluminum casting and rolling plant for 14yrs and me and every other guy who worked there have bad backs and arthritis. Hard labor kills your body.
I enjoy your videos, but they would be a lot more informative/enjoyable if you used the imperial rather than metric system since that's what we use and understand.
The USA is the only industrialized country in the world that uses the imperial system. Everyone else is using the metric system. They are just going with the system that is used by most of the world. You should try learning the metrics system. It's much easier to learn than the one we use here in the US.
@@breeinatree4811 Canada changed to Metric back in the '60s or '70s I believe, and the USA had the perfect opportunity to change with Canada. But oh no!! God forbid that the USA intellectually and culturally move on from the 1950s. Seriously. . . we Canadians bitched and complained, and pushed back, but TBH, now I am so happy that we are Metric. Traveling anywhere in the world is so much easier. It made such a difference when I went into Nursing, travel, and just about every other area that requires measurement. The USA needs to stop dumbing down its population.
@@TheDulcifer the US was supposed to turn to metric in the 60's. I remember being taught it in my math class. The adults refused to go to metric. Our loss, metric is so much easier than imperial. Because the US didn't go metric, we lost a multi million dollar Mars probe. The scientists in Europe were working with the metric system, but the US scientists used imperial. So the probe didn't land gently on Mars, it slammed into the planet. I do find that a little strange since the metric system is used in science by default.
@@breeinatree4811 That is what I thought. I thought that the USA and Canada were going to change to Metric together, and then the USA pulled out. That's a shame because by now, Americans would be as comfortable with Metric as the rest of the world is.
The tallest man in the whole wide world Happens to be 811' tall His name is Robert Pershing Wadlow , Also known as the Alton giant The giant of Illinois He's the tallest man on record he died at the age of 22 from a wound on his leg because of his brace It caused blood poisoning and he died
That’s because most of those people usually do have painful joints and make walking difficult. They usually are heavier than the joint can stand on a regular basis. Of course there are exceptions but think they are rare. People like Andre the giant may be one of the people who hurt all the time but don’t let it show. My husband is one of those people. His philosophy is to never let them see you hurt.
THAT DAMNED CENTIPEDE!!! I😰😰😰😱 woke up in Vietnam with one of these things about 9 inches long crawling on my chest and this gives me flashbacks every time you show it!!!🥵 How about using something else!!!
You never mentioned Robert Wadlow who was the tallest ever measured , he made all these people you mentioned short by comparison .He was like 9 feet tall .
Only three countries in the world use the imperial system. They are the United States, Liberia, and Myanmar. We really need to catch up to the rest of the world additional measuring system makes far more sense.

@@EdwardJosephShields-ux2vu Apparently, you weren't around when they tried shoving that metric and litres bullshit down Americans' throats. It was as stupid as rearranging the keys on a typewriter keyboard: It failed miserably.
Yes America is SO backwards. It is hard to imagine how America copes with imperial measures, when most of the world has moved to metric, which is so much easier.
Sometimes I wonder if the legends about giants that ancient peoples talked about. Because a lot of times these things happen in some families especially when it’s a genetic issue.
We have had Giants on this earth that has mentioned humans as the size of grasshoppers compared to them. Which would make them around 300 foot tall. I knew even if we found a skeleton 30 foot tall who would believe it. But I believe it to be so, why not?
I’m English and still use imperial - nearly 90 now so I will defo not be going metric any time soon. Lived around metric long enuf to be able to convert between the two given time lol
I need a conversion chart to go along with this video. I was born in the United States and find inches ,feet, pounds and ounces easier to understand. We still use those measures here you know.
The USA, Liberia and Myanmar are the only countries in the modern world that use Imperial Measuring System. Either get with the program or get left behind. Surely to goodness Americans are not too stupid to learn the basic Metric System? Do you guys never travel, become pilots, medical professionals,?? You know you are the ONLY country on North, Central and South America who still use the antiquated Imperial System.
These people are all beautiful, their making the best out of life as they can. I know height can be both and advantage and disadvantage, I'm 5'0" and my husband is 6'1", except for my 3-year-old great grandson, I'm the shortest in the family, I stopped growing when I was in the 7th grade. Along with the meters, could you PLEASE also do like 75 centimeter's or 75 lbs. (this is wrong I know) And what are kilograms.
My Dad had huge arms and hands and had trouble holding coffee cups and baby bottles for the grandkids. He kinda was built like a silverback gorilla! And sounded like Darth Vader (without the wheezing).
I know a white man, a US veteran, named BOB STORY in the BUFFALO,NY area who was over 1,000# . Infact he was more like 1600#s. He lived alone and had a sister living near by him. I met him in the Buffalo VA hospital in the early 70's.

Good storytelling and ty for using the metric system. It is logical and uses 10 as base.

he wants to lose weight safely and without any pain, diets and nothing else?

Walking looks so painful for may of them 😢

The miracle of the human heart to be able to sustain a mammoth body.
Those measurements are astounding! What the heck do they mean?
Yes, thanx for all the videos. Would have been even more entertained if you spoke English - as-in, referenced things in English-measurements. 259cm doesn't mean anything.
Thanks for all the videos posted
Hey, Not all of us insist that the metric system be imposed worldwide. How about captions in feet and inches courteously?
I was gonna say the same thing !!!
WTF IS 92 STONE?
@irafinkelstein1107 92 stone = 584kg (> ½tonne)...
@@irafinkelstein1107 92 stone = 1,288 pounds. Stone is British mass weight. We say pounds, they say stones.
speak English! (LOL)
I bet your metric measures equal "very large"
These people are utterly amazing!
The Scary Cherry looks more like an angry ant!!! 😂😂😂
WOAH, Macy can wash her whole car without moving her feet.

Jeff could play Popeye.
HAHAHA!
He gots some monster mitts. 😊
Jeff Gabe got them Warcraft proportions.
Should have made a list of largest humans that were still athletic. What's the point of being large when you can't even move.
Robert Wadlow… tallest man ever was almost 9 feet tall
2700mm=9' Minimum height
of ceilings that I am comfortable with.
Yes, 1 inch short of 9 feet, I wonder if not for the poorly fitted brace, how tall he would have become
Unfortunately, he suffered from Marfan's Syndrome and passed away relatively early in life.
And how long he would have lived. It gave him an infection @@scottfreckle237
BROS GINORMOUS
WOW SO COOL
did anyone else notice the little creature doing funny/silly things between posts? so cool
They are not the 20 largest ! Robert wadlow was the tallest man to ever live at 8 feet 11 inches.

Came to find this comment. Robert Wadlow was 272cm. When he was six, he was six feet tall.
He was small compared by the biblical gaints
@@margaretrobinson-sn2nb gain to be real giant ? lol
@@margaretrobinson-sn2nb Perhaps so, but these are real people, not sci-fi characters of illusion.

The guy in the ring on the cover reminds me of Javba the Hutt.
Coleman was roided out completely, now a days his body and joints are all screwed because of the amount of juice he took.
I agree!!!
But Arnold said, they all did it because everyone was doing it.

Australia is metric but I understand both systems, why don't you learn?
How much is 2 & a half meter, is that like 2 & a half feet ?
2.5m is just over 8ft
No a meter is a bit longer than a yard

would be nice to know the sizes in feet and length instead of the metric system.
Marcus run 🏃
I was measured at 78. I was measured at 80. Now I am not sure.
Are you 80 now
I wanna know what size those shoes are! Wow!

Now 😧 there 😳 is 🤢 a 🤮GOAL 👎👎
No Robert Wadlow???????
In the US here, i have no idea what the numbers mean because we talk in feet and inches.
Yes America is SO backwards. It is hard to imagine how America copes with imperial measures, when most of the world has moved to metric, which is so much easier.
For a ballpark figure, 30cm is 1ft and 1kg is 2lb
Enjoyed this video. Some where you have to wonder if it's all worth it. Nice people but their bodies turned on them.
What happened to Robert Wadlow on this list?
I want to see the final results of that last guy number 10 I think 😊
Sometimes I wonder if the legends about giants that ancient peoples talked about. Because a lot of times these things happen in some families especially when it’s a genetic issue.
Geez and I tonight my dad was big, he cannot even walk straight into the house
Bro really insulted us at the start XD
ulambayar byambajav first try correctly
I met Sandy Allen many years ago. I think maybe honorable mentions should take time in the spotlight.
No Robert Wadlow?
I think they showed his statue at 4:40. 😊
WHATS WRONG WITH PEPS USING FEET AND INCHES/ IM TIRED OF PAUSING AND LOOKING UP METERS...LOL
Poor people the tall man is in pain not something to gawk at I think ...but I am looking I guess...
What about the WWE wrestler André the Giant.
We have had Giants on this earth that has mentioned humans as the size of grasshoppers compared to them. Which would make them around 300 foot tall. I knew even if we found a skeleton 30 foot tall who would believe it. But I believe it to be so, why not?
Because you're a dreamer who lives in a sci-fi world!
Enough with the metric system, this is the USA. We refused to use it decades ago!
Decades???!!!
Stupidly. If we had adopted it back then we would now measure like the rest of the world.
And still do today. Like the English language, it will eventually dominate.
I’m English and still use imperial - nearly 90 now so I will defo not be going metric any time soon. Lived around metric long enuf to be able to convert between the two given time lol
20 largest recorded. In this video... first guy wasn't even in the top 10,000
First guy is not 2m tall! Or all the actors from Who's line is it anyway, are also 2m tall!
You guys must have never watched 600 pound life enough. The guys you have chosen are not even close…
Click-bait title, dishonest
As a man who isn't tall I find taller women to be attractive.

Damn spellckeck, its Jeff Dabe.
*It would be nice for the narrator to also state the U.S. conversion. After all, TH-cam is a USA-based website, isn't it?*
That means nothing. It's do it his way or get lost. These selfish illits wouldn't conform if their life depended on it.

Some ballpark numbers for you, 1in=2.5cm, 1ft=30cm, 1lb=0.5kg and 1oz=28g

They showed pictures of him.
Really nice videos please send more videos 🎉😂😂❤❤❤

Slowly shrinking.
I seen Juan Pedro Franco on Futurama. He was Bender as a human😂
That looks scary
You missed the tallest man ever that should have been No.1 Robert Wardlow. Who died too young like a lot of them 😢
Talking about John Rogan and showing clip of Robert Wadlow...Talking about John Minnoch (not Minoshe) and showing clips of Robert Earl Hughes
Mammoth people sadly have short lives...body gives out.
OVER 600 KILOGRAMS IS LIKE 1320 POUNDS...HOW DID THIS GUY WIPE HIS ASS
He brings in a fire truck with high-compression water hoses and they blaze away, after sounding air raid sirens to clear the neighborhood.

only 6'4" here. Archimedes said, “Give me a long enough lever and I can move the world.” Or just herniate 4 vertebra.
missing: the favorite from my life, Andre the Giant. the hero of wrestling and the Princess Bride.
The tallest person ever lived on our planet , Robert Wadlow 269cm is missing from the list.
Her arms are like alien 6:30
The Iranian Hulk got put on his ass by Martin Ford, it was hilarious and embarrassing for the "Hulk"
The two tall women with really long legs were my favorites.
Nice to see that they are not all hopeless cripples.
I am not hideously ugly nor a disgrace,☺️
Wish you had listed things in real weight ie pounds and real hight ie inches, feet and yards. America is not on the metric system.
I THOUGHT he had on hulk hands
No mention of Robert Wadlow......the tallest human ever recorded (verified).
