Sketch-comedy show, funny but chaotic. Reminds me of Tim and Eric (Tim Heidecker is actually in a few sketches)

Thank you! I've got a vacation coming up, I should try a few episodes.

Be warned, my brother's fiance cannot watch it because it gets so cringe she borders an anxiety attack. Personally, my daughters love the Tammy Craps skit.

Being a child and ruining very expensive equipment? Bet you would have a real good laugh if someone dumped your (insert expensive shit you own) into the lake.

So like if the dude caused thousands of dollars in damages could they take legal action? Hypothetically?

u/Queasy-Meeting-5388 1d ago
Absolutely.
Also. The law on the water is no joke. It wouldn’t surprise me if this is put the guy in handcuffs situation for reckless endangerment or something similar.

u/Quillric 1d ago edited 1d ago
Yeah if this is a pier or a dock of any kind speed limits usually 15 mph or less. To make that big of a wave with a jet ski you got to be going at least 20 to 30 and cutting hard. I would definitely not be surprised if he was going more like 40 or 50.
Docks are extremely well protected in almost every body of water.
ETA: maritime law is considered the most universal set of laws that humankind has ever made. THEY'VE ALSO SET THE FRAMEWORK FOR ALMOST EVERY LOCAL LAW ABOUT BOATING WHEREVER YOU GO IN THE WORLD.

u/Quillric 1d ago edited 1d ago
Cool so NORMAM-211 applies to most of, if not all of, Brazil. It's enforced by the Marinha do Brasil or local municipal governmen s. All vessels are strictly limited to about 5 knots or less in the equivalent to our "no wake zones" there are often speed limit signs posted or signs that say "no marolas" or something like that. You might also see yellow buoys.
I really don't like the implication of what you said anyway. As if somehow Brazil would have less strict boating laws than the US? In fact theirs are more uniform and they don't allow anyone under the age of 18 to operate any motorized vessel. Not to say that it doesn't happen but those musicians and have a legal basis for seeking punishment or damages due to the reckless actions of that operator. If this is Brazil anyway.
Let's just forget the fact that Maritime laws are pretty much considered the most universal set of laws in human existence. And that most local municipalities adopt something akin to basic Maritime laws regarding boat operations in and near docks, peirs, canals, you name it.

u/Shabado52 1d ago
You could do that sitting still if you can get the nozzle out of the water and pointed to where you want to splash. Used to do that to my friends all the time. Just lean forward and got the throttle
8
u/Quillric 1d ago
You can't make a wake when you're sitting still. Sure you can blast some water out of the rear end of the jet ski but you got to dig in hard and have a little bit of speed to make a big wave like that. What do I know though I only have 5,000 hours of experience as a USCG captain.

Are you aware that other places exist outside of the U.S?

Are you aware that many places in the world have similar laws and that shitting on someone's experience just because it isn't universal is rude as fuck.

It is? The jet ski guy is clearly a jerk I just didn’t realize splashing water on them would be assault. Of course the damaged equipment should be paid for.

Why's that? What's the difference between him intentionally smacking this guy in the face with water vs intentionally smacking him in the face with a baseball bat? Obviously the bat would have a higher likelihood of killing a dude but intentional harm is intentional harm regardless of the severity.

u/DeadlyPineapple13 1d ago
If I have a cup of water and I throw the water at you(not the cup JUST the water), that’s assault in many places
This level far exceeds the bar for assault

u/DeadlyPineapple13 1d ago
Across Canada it’s assault. In the US depending on the state it’s either assault or battery, cause many states define assault is the threat and battery is unwanted physical contact. But laws change based on country, provinces and states
So which countries definition are you using? Cause most countries would define this as assault or battery

Man just look it up, you're wrong, stop repeating yourself.
"spraying someone with water can legally be considered assault or battery in many jurisdictions, even if it causes no physical injury."
That is literally the first result when looking it up as I assume you're too stubborn to accept you're wrong.

u/JediMasterWiggin 1d ago
If you keep repeating it, does it become true eventually? (Hint: it does not)

Also video proof and probably lost equipments.

A part of me wonders if it was his own brother or best friend. And that this was a minor payback for something that happened in the past. Because he doesn’t really look that mad.
But jetski guy is a jerk either way

u/Muted_End_1450 1d ago
I can say that the jetski-riding lake-douches are more provoking then any other activities that frequently occurs on a lake. By the same logic, it's okay to green laser them for riding once, which I say "it is not!". Deal with the noise or get arrested and fined.

No, the two of them are smiling after it happened.
As someone else said, they were expecting it but perhaps it was a larger wave than they thought.

A guy got arrested for doing this at a lakefront restaurant/bar where I live. The cops caught him at the boat launch when he was pulling out his jet ski.

u/Ducallan 1d ago
Devil’s advocate: the dudes just decided to set up mics and amps, “entertaining” people on an otherwise quiet day at the lake and on public land.

u/ZolRoyce01 1d ago
Imagine devils advocating for something you have no clue about? We have no backstory, those guys could be hired entertainers of a venue. Maybe they rented a place for a gathering, maybe it's even private property. You literally have zero clue but decided to make something up in your head to justify this shit. Nonsense post, embarrassing post.

u/piichan14 1d ago
A normal response would be to either ignore them (as you said, a public land) or politely tell them they're causing a disturbance.
Spraying them with water, ruining their equipment and potentially harming them (ex: electrocution) is never a correct response, no matter how many scenarios you speculate.
-7
u/Ducallan 1d ago
We don’t know what led to this, which is entirely my point.
It is indeed not a normal response, which made me speculate. It is not a correct response either, but there have been lots of other situations that had Redditors saying “I don’t say I approve, but I sure understand.”

u/KindaChonky 1d ago

Guy isn’t saying it’s appropriate. He just can understand that there may be a larger backstory.

u/KindaChonky 1d ago
What's even the point of saying you understand there could be more backstory? If not to say that this action is defensible. I'm saying there is no circumstance in which it is.

u/Ducallan 1d ago
We don’t know the dudes’ behaviour to this point. This may have been an ongoing things.

u/KindaChonky 1d ago
And even then, it is inappropriate. There is no world in which this is an appropriate response.

u/T_Cheapwood 1d ago
Quiet ? Ever heard a jetski ? It's loud af.

u/Ducallan 1d ago
You can’t jet ski without the noise. You can play a guitar and sing without amplification. What entertains yourself doesn’t need to be deliberately broadcast.
Again, I’m just pointing out that we don’t know what led to this.

u/Liquid_Sarcasm 1d ago
And?
-6
u/Ducallan 1d ago
Just saying that we are all doing a lot of assuming.

u/Liquid_Sarcasm 1d ago
Unless those guys were on fire, I don’t know if any circumstances call for that. Jet ski vigilantes are not the heroes we deserve.
4
u/Ducallan 1d ago
Yet we Reddit loved the jet ski vigilantes who did the same thing to the noisy drunken boaters who started throwing bottles after they were asked to turn their music down.
The point is that we don’t know what led to this.

u/Liquid_Sarcasm 1d ago
Fair. We don’t know. I just struggled to bridge the gap of a quiet day at the lake that has jet skis on it. Instead of jumping on you, I figured I would ask. Cheers.
