"Where are we going?"
"Chernobyl"
That just made me laugh for some reason. They're just so simple about what they're doing.
This had potential, but they really fucked it up.
He didn't seem to know alot about the situation (Possibly just drunk.), considering he got the chance of a lifetime you would think he would research further into it. I mean I know pretty much everyone can jump onto these tours but the add-on of going near the red forest to hunt boar on the outskirts with rifles.. Come on :(
Wow, I came here to see some mutants, not a couple of drunk people.
I was expecting STALKER but vice is good, its a shame they didn't really make this work though.
I was expecting to see some mutated animals getting shot, not some people getting drunk, talking about what happened, and then shooting at a mutated boar for a couple seconds; which eventually gets away. Disappointing.
Poor animals
I hate how everybody seems to have expecting it to be like stalker, I'm actually glad they didn't childishly dramatize it. My only complaint is they seemed way too drunk to be filming near the end
I stopped watching when they made the anti-nuclear power comment. This is stupid. Vice in general is stupid.
What a bunch of noobs wasting SVD ammo on some boars.
The part where he was telling the guide about it being "The Russian Bastards" fault made me cringe
This guy seems like an absolute retard.
he seemed really ignorant
He was really drunk though
I was looking forward to vice doing something on chernobyl, but i was expecting it to be a little more than just 'lol lets go to chernobyl and get drunk and shoot at some boars'.
Watched this a long time ago, while vice stuff can be really cool, some of their stuff is sort of crap.
Wait this was recently uploaded? Did I just watch an inexplicably similar video or was this a re-upload?
I've noticed that most of what Vice uploads is completely bullshit, although once in a while there is something good.
Lots of misconceptions in this video. First of all, there are no mutants in Chernobyl. Not widespread and when there are they are usually among smaller creatures, like frogs with an extra leg but those can be observed in other places around the world, they're just birth defects induced by whatever radiation was floating around.
The next is that 'drinking saved the fire fighters, drinking will save us"
All the first responders, the Fire Fighters. Are dead. They died within a few years of the incident, there is a memorial in Chernobyl for them but they're all dead.
The 'drinking prevents radiation' is a very common wise tale. Infact, when the accident happened the Government advised people to drink Red Wine, which would supposedly prevent radiation sickness, which doesn't have any honest grounding reality. When they ran out of Red Wine they decided "Any old alcohol will do" so you had soldiers and what not going around drunk off their ass from drinking vodka.
Hence why in the STALKER games Vodka helps with radiation, it's like a throw back reference with a bit of history behind it.
Man Vice is usually so good. How did they mess this up?

Pretty true. The latest worse one, was the one with that New York cosmo/astronaut .
Walking down the public streets, pretending you're slow motion; while wearing some weird-ass suit? He had pretty good art, but that was so cheesy, fondue should've shot from his nose.
Vice's videos are good when the bearded hipster isn't getting drunk.
I really hope the alcohol was having a big effect on him when he ironically said "So Nuclear Power is the future, eh?"
It is.
Shane (the guy with the beard in the video) is actually a pretty cool guy, and hes got massive balls. I think the problem is that literally 99% of the time hes drunk off his ass and this video was just kind of falsely titled.
His adventures include:
Breaking into a North Korean propaganda warehouse in Sibera with a russian bodyguard/mafia thug nicknamed "The Fish"
Venturing into Liberia to meet General Buttnaked, an infamous warlord who ate the hearts of children to become invisible, but now that's all good since hes a born again christian.
Going into North Korea as a tourist on two separate occasions, and almost getting imprisoned each time for standing in front of a picture of the Dear Leader.

You mean being drunk off my ass while hunting for blood suckers doesn't help? fuck, seeing Red Forest was pretty cool though
Like everyone is saying yeah this wasn't a good video

In one of the North Korea videos he gets drunk (huge surprise I know) while they are singing karaoke and he is basically mocking the North Korea national anthem while drunk and they are all speechless because they don't know what do to

This was originally released in 2007, and was just now re-released to the Vice youtube channel, when this was posted on Facepunch back then the reactions were exactly the same. Vice fucks up sometimes.
When the tour guide said that the red forest would kill you because of the radiation how come the animals are able to in it and live? Is it a mutation?
Seeing that Geiger counter going up...
damn.
So there's no chance of me becoming the Hulk then?
