Rich English Guy and his Trebuchet

[RichiePoo28]

This is England for you, fantastic stuff :')

[trallalala100]

Awesome trebuchet, but that´s just not a decent way to treat such a beautiful piano...

[FLIHC]

Here is my small contribution to Medieval Revival:

[danosly]

rich old guys are cool and Obama tries to unleash class warfare what a clown

[jlamb1976]

That is the fastest an Austin Maestro has ever gone.

[BaconFrisbee]

This guy's landscaper must be pissed.

[kimdkus]

That is so very cool. Imagine what you could toss at the noisy neighbors. :)

[1akozak]

Dear Santa...

[nick199009]

I hope there's a chavy estate surrounded by estates like his, so they can get bombed the hell out of by toff's with timber.

[sheep1ewe]

Fill the car wit gassoline next time!!

(sorry cod not resist that one... guess i was not the first one thinking the same thing... XD )

[touchsmart0]

so u wana get rid of that?

ill take it >:)

[finetunedllc1]

I have a suggestion...strap yourself on, naked with a old pilots cap and goggles on, with a feather duster up your ass and try to hit a full sized mattress about 500 yards out.

WOW! now that would be "impressive"

You could be the newest addition to Jack Ass English Style

[pinkpokadot100]

When he said that he wanted to get rid of the trebuchet, I thought the next words out of his mouth were going to be something along the line of building a new terbuchet to launch the old trebuchet XD

[pinkpokadot100]

@pinkpokadot100 sorry, trebuchet*

[sroseg0201]

@pinkpokadot100

haha i was totally thinking the same thing.

[darthroden]

1:55 - 2:00

"Harry, I don't think that's Hogwarts down there!"

[mauriceshow]

Don't piss this guy off... Lol, clap yo bitch as with a trebuchet!!! Bitch as niggas betta watch dey ass!!!

[azbazmaz1]

It's not an ancient form of a catapult. A trebuchet fires farther and is stronger than any catapults and is way more advanced. You can tell that just by looking at it. A catapult is just spring loaded basically. Trebuchets can use counterweights and make use of Mechanical Advantage. Trebuchets were also invented and used after catapults.

[darkomen202]

This is sparta!



[crapatev]

Please oh please can at least one baseball game invite this trebuchet to throw the first pitch?

[Donut117]

i bet this guy takes no shit from his wife

[TheJamietheGreat]

I love this guy

[gizmoguyar]

Why do people keep saying trebuchets are a type of catapult? Trebuchets were around long before catapults. Trebuchets catapults and balistae are all very different things.

[michiel2047]

my god, the American accent is so harsh and annoying next to the British!

[troddsy]

@michiel2047 grater included

[alex9289]

this looks like zed and torturing toys in toy story right??

[SonnyA89]

This guy is fucking nuts.

[Clearie552]

interesting word, "trebuchet"... but what you really need is the zephyr blade.

[PeterJBowling]

1:41 is what I need for my car

[Gibbsian36]

"People are very sentimental about horses in England". Indeed!

[herrzorlo]

Why there is that flaming piano habit? I really don't get it...

[acemotorman]

I knew the Austin Maestro was good for something , now I know what ! lol

[JackSamuelMusic]

dang i hope he has medieval car insurance

[spartan1081990]

You should throw stuff at the French through the English Channel. remember, it is not about hurting others, is about making them mad.

[DrewsAnimation]

hue, when you build your new one, can you give me this one?

[Jingming2000]

... This guy is rich because you dindt see he use a car or piano as a bom??!?!!!!

[mike00nike]

[Valthepixie]

[JRSproductions5]

More rich people need to be this cool.

[Gillarlika77]

That guy is a fucking hero and kows how to spend his money :)

[WaxingRadiance]

I can confirm everyone in England does this sort of thing at the weekend.

What what!

[xxxJJohnnyxxx]

rotfl @ the "rich english guy" caption.

[MrJoseph554]

Not all British speak like that BTW

[Cheeseian31]

this piano is on a one way trip to extinction.......? i thought extinction is when a race dies out.

[musketeer925]

Since when do pianos explode?

[ManHomeless]

@musketeer925

when they are filled with gas and explosives?

seriously these guys are the british version of rednecks

[roadwraith86]

WTF that my car!!! ;)

[tincho92]

'I want to get rid of this machine and build a bigger one...' (: - I)

[DeOptimist]

NEXT: The Simpsons

[arafitos]

[ImperialEarthEmpire]

[mrrogue72]

@ImperialEarthEmpire LOL hater

[ultraclay]

I seriously want of these in my yard.

[rainbownuthouse]

@ultraclay u cna't use it in ur yard, epic phail

[cmp696969]

@rainbownuthouse well you could have one in your yard but people would say that is there yard. and if i could i would want one too.

[dksrm]

@ultraclay Me too!!!!

[Durgesuth]

English trebuchets were so powerful they could throw blue whales over castle walls

[mrrogue72]

@Durgesuth or my penis

[DrRockso99]

@Durgesuth lol, I hope you are joking, because obiously.... no, that is incorrect.

[Tinks598]

Cool!! that was ace!

[integraf40]

What a hero.

[SonarWavePulse]

I hope they get better cameras by the time that guy's ready to fling a double-decker.

[huyked]

@SonarWavePulse

I'm pretty sure it wasn't the camera, but just the compression. Anyhow, take a look here:

/watch?v=BYY1XXQondw&NR=1&feat­ure=fvwp

[tubewinkle]

Fun stuff.

But I'm glad he's not my next-door neighbor.

[MrBum504]

w3ll at furst seemed kinda dangerous but ..... cool ending

seriously not satisfied he slung a friggin car 100 feet in the air lol gud luck with that bus though

[Cwafter]

@grobo11 I totally agree with you on everything. It amuses me watching people poke holes in idiots' little ideas and beliefs ^.^

[Cwafter]

@bphutchins Oh really? Egyptians invented walking? you sir, are a retard.

[bphutchins]

@Cwafter walk like an egyptian, genius. It's called a joke, it requires a semblance of intelligence to understand. If you're agreeing with grobo there, then you're a moron. The guy blatantly made a fool out of himself and then got quiet when I pointed that out.

[YummyGummyBearx]

fuck u u wont to do it with a dead horse u sick fucker

[daredog8]

He has way too much time on his hands...

[camdesja]

what a champ

[kur00kami]

mmmyes, would be quite amusing.

You know who can't /afford/ trebuchets~!

[7AceAdrian]

lol I'm shure he has a tiny dick XD

[jopeters]

@7AceAdrian yes, just because he is rich and built a trebuchet, he has a tiny dick...

[PopppaBlue59]

@7AceAdrian Yep. But, he can pay people to tell him it's huge.

[plark15]

leave it to a crazy old britishman

[mtdeezy]

@TheChuckk I can has. Not I cans have. So no, you cant.

[666satanification666]

New coolest guy in the word!

[Shodex4]

What would a bigger catapult fling? I don't know, this is about Trebuchets though.

[MJFAN666]

I wonder why the Medival European dudes didn't use Pianos... SO MUCH MORE EFFECTIVE.

[starscreamthe7th]

The trebuchet is awesome, but the guy that owns it is a rich bastard!

[DrRockso99]

@starscreamthe7th He's a bastard because he's wealthy? Or was there some other reason?

[BushmasterJH]

I would totally be doing this every day if i had money.

[Daily0Dabble]

THE PIANO WAS AWSOME BOOOOOOOM!!!!

[painsey]

lol im suprised he wasnt arrested over some retarded uk firearms law

[KRAZY7777]

stronghold 2 music?

[Threecoolhats]

make a trebuchet which hurls itself away please...

[samicrosby]

One day I'll be rich !

[LolFishFail]

This is why Britain once ruled the world. If you wanna fling a burning piano 100 feet into the air. You fling a burning piano 100 feet in the air.

[LolFishFail]

The loud Bitch annoys me...

[JimboVids]

20 stories tall?? Horseshit.

[arr5612]

dudes fucking nuts

[beggarz]

Ha ha that was pretty funny - I love the reserved mad Englishman lol

[GoldentuskII]

FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUU

damn american bitch, it's a siege engine, like a catapult is a siege enginer, a trebuchet is not a catapult, a Ballista, is not a catapult, a catapult is a catapult.



[DarkGuardian256]

if i had a trebuchet...ill launch myself into the ocean...how cool dat would be...

DarkG---Over

[55varian]

that's the way it was made lol

[lordmongooseify]

wow lol Black and white nut oil music FTW!!!!!!

[dragongame2]

I want to sit in the car

[Adana180109]

What a dick.

[MrKreten]

This motherfucker's crazy....I love it

[rockclimber21]

"ancient form of catapult"

...

all right then. At least the fact that the guy is a complete BAMF makes up for the completely inadequate programming. I agree with ekszentrik.

[trebuchet21]

@rockclimber21 how do you mean: ancient form of catapult? de trebuchet is a much younger siegemachine.

the romans, (don't read romulans or romanions) have invented a much older catapult, an onager ("wild donkey") which can throw stones up to 10 pounds. compared with a trebuchet that's nothing.

In my opinion: de trebuchet rules. Even the german tiger-tank can't beat him.

[douchebarge]

@trebuchet21 I agree that trebuchets rule, but "Even the german tiger-tank can't beat him."?

It doesn't seem like a meaningful comparison, given the Tiger is mobile and armored, fires in a fairly flat trajectory (afaik the tiger's gun didn't traverse high enough to be used for worthwhile indirect fire) while the trebuchet is sessile and unarmored and does indirect fire, generally with low precision. Granted, the treb needs no powder and can use improvised ammo, but the comparison fails IMO.

[trebuchet21]

@douchebarge

Did you really think i ment that serieus? It was SARCASIM. Of course the tiger-tank will crush a trebuchet. Do you think i'm completely nuts?

[vaes901]

Так надо ТАЗы тестировать на безопасность)))

[Potatonaught]

throw a double decker bus? this man is a GENIUS

[7JDH7NL7]

next the simpsons, YAY

[plazid1]

i hate how americans wreck every thing with the voice overs and music. they use the same method for every show and it does my head in!why cant they just talk in a normal toned voice and stop layering every thing with annoying music!!

[kevinandger]

@plazid1 id say you have a closed minded view on americans.

[FLSHBK1]

@plazid1 I know what you mean. Picture having to live here and putting up with it on every show on every channel. I often end up just turning the TV off in disgust. Public TV or BBC broadcasts are far more appealing recently. We call this the 'Dumbing-Down of America'; having someone tell you what to think about what you're seeing. The mood music in background must be to gather/keep our attention ~ it has ZERO entertainment value. Our newscasts are also tainted; discussion rather than content.

[trebuchet21]

The Trebuchet is a wonderful example of the historical engineering. I wish I had one myself.

Uh, whait a moment... I have :). Only he's just 7 feet. I will put a video on youtube one time... but i guess you don't mind, do you?

[FLSHBK1]

This man, a chid of the 1950s, was clearly inspired by Jerry Lee Lewis!

GREAT BALLS OF FIRE!

[Fridomfry]

@FLSHBK1 , great comment – I'm furious not to have thought of it myself !

[1bangor]

I'm from the US, California even. but if this is an English show, I'm pretty upset. Hate seeing people in every part of the world speaking "Californian."

Goodbye local culture, hello "Globalization" I guess. :(

[trebuchet21]

@1bangor

do you know even one English show, which has such an anoying voice-over?

[ProfessorZaroff]

Sensei!!!!

[DANTE4891]

MAN, THAT'S FUCKING AWESOME!!!

[pervious1]

Who says the age of the Rich English Eccentric is dead! Makes me want to weep with pride.

[JeffyBigH]

2:00 now if that were an American made car, it woulda still been driveable, maybe a scratch or two

[Getapa999]

@JeffyBigH in your dreams

[Geuvesa]

@Getapa999 My Neighbor flipped his truck end over end twice and rolled three times. He said the truck was still idling when it stopped rolling and it would have drove if the axle had not snapped.

[leon0862]

rich english guy bombs england

[L3PK11]

i love this guy!!!!

holy shit he just threw a car!!

[Grey13Human]

Not very long fire range. How is gonna siege towns?

[LostTheGameXD]

I cant stand posh, rich fucks, but this guy.......he's 'ite

[Del249]

Q: how come the insane childish idiot can get rich and I cant?

A: he probably inherited his wealth

[7JDH7NL7]

YAH next the simpsonss!!

[MultiGigaman]

omg, imagine if they had flaming pianos in the medieval ages!

[darthkendalless]

haha i want one!

[foxinbox]

FUCKING PATHETIC MORON!!! Makes me to to kill myself right here...

[pixarian72]

@foxinbox Please do.

[kjun13]

The only problem with using a trebuchet is that, as a BEST case scenario, you have a huge projectile flying through the air at terrifying speed.

[dabomb1357]

@kjun13 There's a downside to that?

[kjun13]

@dabomb1357 the government has rules that govern when and where your allowed to launch a doomsday piano several hundred yards.

It was pretty epic though.

[onedudetwotube]

Yeah you and wot army.

I don need a fokking army, I got's me a trebuchet.

[glhx2112]

Double Decker bus being tossed would be pretty cool. Even better if it was full of Democrats.

[FearAcademy]

The same eccentricity i bet is how he made his money in the first place. Think outside the box =D

[00Billy]

I want to see video of a over sized trebuchet . One too big for the the strength of material. Ka Boom!

[mr91skuttis]

dear santa....

[ekszentrik]

What fucking kind of a show is that please? What's the deal about the obnoxious voice-over and the music playing through the whole video? TV, especially American, gets more retarded from day to day.

[JeffyBigH]

@ekszentrik pretty sure this is british lol

[njska988]

@ekszentrik at least American television has some kind of production quality. As far as I've seen foreign TV sucks, that's why many countries play American programs so often.

[purplemutantas]

@njska988 The BBC has put out some good shows. Monty python and Dr.Who are both good. MI5 (spooks) is also pretty good.

[fullmetal294]

@ekszentrik hey fuck you America is the greatest place on earth sorry u live in a country with a dictator and hate freedom

[mrrogue72]

@ekszentrik Whats up your ass, does this REALLY bother you? You're a real hateful person. Now reply and call me a dickhead or something about my mom,lol.

[danielw1245]

@ekszentrik i don't understand what you're trying to say. Yeah the voice-over is pretty annoying, but what is so offensive about the music and the video itself. How would you have done this video differently?

[BerserkXXIV]

@ekszentrik Try asian TV... /facepalm

[bphutchins]

@ekszentrik hate to break it to you but this tv show that you're whining about is like 15 years old. If you don't like our media, including youtube (which is based out of California) then fuck off and find something decent elsewhere. Watch Dr Who, the 20th incarnation lol.

[grobo11]

@bphutchins I guess he touched a soft spot didn't he? LOL! Youtube isn't television you idiot. But since you like playing this game I guess I can throw this one at you, why don't you stop using your computer? Seeing as it was Allan Turring who invented the first modern computer.

[bphutchins]

@grobo11 ok, I'll just use my iphone or ipad to access the internet. ICANN. have a nice day

[grobo11]

@bphutchins And just how will you get around in life? The automobile is German, the train is British, the bus is British, the bicycle is German. I suppose you could walk.

All I'm doing is poking holes through your ridiculous argument you put forth.

[bphutchins]

@grobo11 no, because that's egyptian.

[grobo11]

@bphutchins What's Egyptian? I've numberd many different inventions by different races.

[bphutchins]

@grobo11 walking, like the song. It was a joke. And Germans and English aren't races, they're nationalities. The Germans may have built the first automobile, but it was certainly the Americans who perfected it and made it affordable. As for the first computer, well once again an American invented the integrated circuit, which made it possible for computers to be small enough to have at home and affordable.

[grobo11]

@bphutchins What are you talking about? Of course English is an ethnicity, and so is German, don't you know anything? You can be a German citizen and have that as your nationality, just as you can be from the UK (remember UK, England and Britain are different) and have a UK citizenship. But of course the English are a race, just like the Scot's, Welsh, Irish etc. Also, the first modern computer was invented by Allan Turring to break the enigma code in WW2.

[bphutchins]

@grobo11 English isn't a race, dummy. Stop repeating yourself.

[grobo11]

@bphutchins Yes they are you idiot. They're their own ethnic group, the Anglo Saxons. What are you, stupid?

[bphutchins]

@grobo11 So, the angles, saxons, jutes, celts, etc aren't races but English is? You, my friend, are an idiot. Look up the word "race" in the dictionary. You seem to be confused.

[grobo11]

@bphutchins I've never once said race you idiot, you have. I clearly stated "Ethnic group" did I not? Learn to read. Also, Angles, Jutes and Saxons are TRIBES!!! They're from the same ethnic group but different tribes. Celts are Irish, Scottish etc. Are you thick?

[bphutchins]

@grobo11 @bphutchins What's Egyptian? I've numberd many different inventions by different races. (to which you were referring to Germans, English, etc)

[grobo11]

@bphutchins Did I not correct myself by constantly talking about ethnic groups? Don't try and worm your way out of this, you assumed that I continued to use the term race when I did not.

[bphutchins]

@grobo11 you're an idiot. 2 comments down you stated that YOU NEVER SAID RACE.. Now, after reminding you what you said merely hours ago and correcting you, now your'e saying that you did indeed say race and that I'm wrong for assuming that you continued to use it. lol, good girl.

[grobo11]

@bphutchins "good girl" Well that's just pathetic LOL! You can't win in an argument and so you resort to pathetic little tactics to try and humiliate me by assuming I'm of another gender. You're so 'badass', next you'll be implying that I'm gay, or a 'faggot'. Loser. Also, it was you who continued to say race when I had already stated ethnic groups, and when you told me to search the word race you had not realised that I stopped using the term since. You are the idiot.

[bphutchins]

@grobo11 I have a video posted of my boyfriend and I showing our christmas trees off, so I guess I won't be using fag or gay. I simply said good girl, because you're whining like one. And for future references, when someone calls you a name in a debate, it's called an ad hominem abusive statement. So, you said that English and German were races, then you denied that you said it, now I'm the one losing because you "corrected yourself". Dumb troll is dumb.

[grobo11]

@bphutchins You're right, I have made spelling mistakes. What's your point? Does it make my argument any less valid? No of course not, keep your knickers from going in a twist.

[DieBittereWahrheit]

physics rule :)

[CoNa1PiCkLeS]

"We could throw double decker buses which would be quite amusing." Sounds funny coming from a pensioner which a posh accent :')

[thatoneguy99100]

diamonds are boring. sailing yachts are fun
