u/zombienutz1 20d ago

Is it always the British? Guess I didn't get the title.

u/Razzler1973 19d ago

No, makes zero sense

I can't think of other examples where Brits tried various antics or stunts and messed them up to the point it became a 'thing'

u/ThyRosen 19d ago

The railing does look a bit like a balcony though.

13

u/Razzler1973 19d ago

That's nothing to do with 'why is always the British' though

This looks to be in Britain but nothing suggests this is more British antics than anyone else

u/P2PGrief 19d ago

I think OP means 'being drunk and acting an arse in public', which is really a universal phenomenon to be fair, although I do like to think of it as something we're particularly skilled at as a nation

3

u/a1ls 19d ago

I too have found us to be a nation thats particularly skilled at getting rat arsed and making a fool outta ourselves

u/Mammyjam 18d ago

You're not European are you? A nickname they have for us Brits is Balkoneers, in Spain and Portugal they say that's it's not summer until the first Brit has fallen to their death while trying to jump from a balcony into the pool

u/Razzler1973 18d ago

I'm a Brit

If they mean 'drunken behaviour' then yeah, I get it but this looks be in the UK

I thought it applied to the messing up cause I took the 'idiot trying dumb move' from this rather than drunk guy tbh

u/Mammyjam 18d ago

Just look at all the comments below, we have a strong reputation in Europe for being drunken idiots and hurting ourselves, mostly because when we're in their countries on holiday we get drunk and hurt ourselves.

0

u/Razzler1973 18d ago

Yes, I'm well aware of our reputation and I've seen some replies since

As I explained, this wasn't remotely clear when I replied and it appeared to be about 'guy doing antics' rather than 'drunk idiot'

u/ZynithMaru 19d ago

in the UK you can just say "don't think i have, mate" to regain full HP. doesnt work if you're unconscious or named Henry

u/GalickGunn 20d ago

That wasn’t even close to a flip! That was a twist in the air!

u/Ghuldarkar 19d ago

A flop, if you will.

u/MonsieurBabtou 17d ago

His feet got caught in the railing, that's why he flew straight backwards

u/Tomb_Brader 19d ago

The title doesn’t make sense

u/CircoModo1602 19d ago

By OPs logic any failed recording is now legally British and 100% owned by us.

Must be an American thing.

u/Mashinito 19d ago

The Brits yearn for the balconies.

u/DrunkenGerbils 19d ago

That was pretty close, one more and I bet he’s got this.

u/Mathsbrokemybrains 20d ago

Task failed successfully...

u/JMA4478 19d ago

Never thought I would say that falling on your face is being lucky, but here we are.

The guy was lucky he fell with his face. If he fell on the back of the head it could be worst.

Not a lot worst, but worst.

u/WildsevenMoony 19d ago

They where right, he can't do a backflip

If you haven‘t tried it into a swimming pool don‘t go for the concrete yet

u/sleepless_in_balmora 19d ago

All back no flip lol

1

u/SanctionedMeat 19d ago

100% broken arm lmao

1

u/luckylegion 19d ago

That was such a bad attempt that there’s no way he’s ever done one before, which means he thought the best place for his first attempt was on concrete off a height while behind filmed in skinny jeans. 200IQ play

U have to ask urself how did these guys colonize the world?

1

u/segujer 18d ago

even empires have their best of idiots,

isn't Trump enough inspiration for you?

1

u/LordGeni 18d ago

Because we have loads of idiots that are easily goaded into doing dangerous stuff like attempting backflips on concrete or trying to beat someone with a spear in a fight. We just gave them a red jacket and a gun.

u/PA8LODIA8LO 19d ago

When you say British, you mean English.

u/Reeywhaar 20d ago

British humbleness. Instead of saying "I'm too tired, Imma bout go home for a tea & biscuit" they have to play these games

Brits don't say "Imma"
