GYM PRANK: THAT'S MY MACHINE BRO!

[ScoutKing]

[QUOTE=devcon;40835844]Wow, I recognize this gym. It's the 24 hour fitness in Fremont, CA.

I subbed for a month once. Saw this guy a few times at least.[/QUOTE]

I wish the 24 hour fitness i went to was that nice.
Mine has like 15 machines, a few treadmills, and a ton of dumbbells. and a bench press and a smith machine. I would love to do real squats on a regular basis :(
I remember when i went to the gym for the first time, and felt uncomfortable as fuck (115 pound me, white as a ghost, and had no clue where to start)
Now though i prefer to be there, i know some of the common patrons, and they know me. The gym is like the Men's bathroom. You respect the other persons space and routine, and you don't start laughing at them/doing shit.

[QUOTE=Derp Y. Mail;40827896]He's just sort of being a prick to people, how does that constitute a prank?[/QUOTE]

thats all pranks are these days, being a douchebag

like, you know, setting wire in front of a door of a diabetic with no legs so they trip and can't get up

or anything else that involves being an asshole :v:

[QUOTE=Death_God;40834217]aren't you hopping on the bandwagon of hating the bandwagon of youtube prankers???[/QUOTE]

What this guy was doing aren't pranks, he's just being an asshole to STRANGERS on purpose to he can get easy money from YouTube. Pranks are shit you do with your friends or people you know, not to some skinny asian kid who's trying to build up his self-esteem, only to have some meathead come up to him and take his shit like that.

[Crazy]

[QUOTE=pixskull;40836760]I prefer the Russian guy tbh. At least he's prepared to let them throw a punch before telling them it's a prank.[/QUOTE]

And then file a lawsuit.

[-ZeeBo-]

I hate what the internet has done to "gym culture". Everybody is going round town shouting these "gym memes" and "trolling" in gyms.

[ChestyMcGee]

the fuck is everyone being so hostile for? it's a joke. "waah it's not a joke he's a cunt" well this video isn't anywhere near as cuntish as 90% of remi's videos but everyone here rims that guy

[ChestyMcGee]

[QUOTE=LuaChobo;40839228]If we don't like it then the cuntishness outweighs the funny[/QUOTE]

but then this still doesn't make any sense to me at all because facepunch, for the most part, loves remi
remi is a guy who flat out steals shit off people, kicks people into water (along with whatever valuables they have on them), and says shit like "[my] prank was so good i wish it was being done on me"

so why all this hate for a guy who is being a prick in the gym for a joke? no one is getting hurt and he's obviously telling people that it's for a video so they shouldn't be upset
standard fp gym hate

[Tacooo]

[QUOTE=Crazy;40837252]And then file a lawsuit.[/QUOTE]

Well, he's not the one who files the suit, he got sued/put in jail (IIRC) for a prank, he's dedicated, I assume you're talking about Vitaly.

All the dumbs in this thread are from 90 lb kids who doesn't know what a dumbbell is.

[QUOTE=MaverickIB;40832218]This.

I've been lifting/going to gyms for 8+ years now. Never once have I seen someone be ridiculed for putting work in. The only people who get ridiculed are the ones who are absolutely ridiculous, like the dudes screaming bloody murder while squatting 135lbs and whatnot, and even then it's never to their face.

This includes high school gyms, hardcore powerlifter gyms, college rec centers, etc.

This notion that gyms are full of assholes looking to put you down or whatever is outright ridiculous. Nobody gives a flying fuck who you are or what you're doing, they are focusing on putting their own work in. Even the douche in the singlet and snapback is just trying to get a bicep pump, he doesn't care what some scrawny kid is doing.[/QUOTE]I think it is awesome when I see someone who is new to the gym there to change their self. It's motivating actually.

[Shiftyze]

[QUOTE=LuaChobo;40839568]"u guys dont agree with me u must all be out of shape look at my pecs bro"

turn the computer off and go back to the gym please[/QUOTE]This is my first comment, what is there to agree upon? It's funny and some people are taking it to heart like they're the asian from the video. You're probably the asian.

[ItsGary]

[QUOTE=Mandems;40827941]I felt so sorry for the little assian kid :([/QUOTE]

That'll teach him to stay at planet fitness.

[QUOTE=LuaChobo;40839367]Because remi doesnt act like a complete douchebag while doing it.

Remi's videos are usually based on "lol dis wacky shit"
This video was this guy being a cunt.

There is a clear line between obvious comedy and the video you are defending.[/QUOTE]

Dude it's called a prank, any prank involves wasting people's time.

[ChestyMcGee]

[QUOTE=LuaChobo;40839367]There is a clear line between obvious comedy and the video you are defending.[/QUOTE]

no homo

[Ruski]

But in all seriousness, gyms are places where people can better themselves and do it in a nice environment. For example; I [u]reallllly[/u] hate fat people (like obese people). However when I see a fat person in the gym I will do my upmost to educate them if they look like they are going to break their spine or just say 'well done' and strike up a conversation.

Everyone at every gym I've been to (and I've been to loads over my 2 years lifting) are amongst the nicest people I have ever met.

[Mike60044]

I hate these "pranks." He's just being an asshole to everyone.

[Ryz0]

[Ruski]

my life is in tatters ;_;

Get out mike. He is being a douche in a satirical manner, playing on the stereotype all gym-goers are douchebags (one I may add loads of people in this thread buy into).

[QUOTE=Rofl my Waff;40828068]Felt pretty bad for that scrawny kid lifting the weights, I feel like he probably won't be coming back to that gym after that.[/QUOTE]

They probably end up telling all of them.

[SCWashu]

This is why I go to the gym with mostly old people, and have headphones in at all times. This would piss me the hell off.
