[William1360]

Who cares about videos of the past, I want to see videos of the future!

[TyPaen]

[DfFuse]

[ImAfraidOfDucks]

[TurinMroczny]

Fail compilation, January 1896 

[janspambox]

I wanted to make a joke comment "man, you need to get a better camera". Then I realized that the quality is still way better than most of the early YouTube videos.

[Aroddo]

In Tottenham they'd help the guy up while someone else nicks his bike and filches his pocket watch.

[hivonzooo]

Oh, so they have YouTube in 1896? Nice.

[Maestrochimongas]

some of then dont know how to make a snowball

[AgressoExpresso]

This is a true joy to watch.

[patilsaurabhr]

Oh! Those were the times when people just didn't sit in their homes with ANY electronic devices and enjoyed the riches of nature. Don't you wish to do something richly enjoyable like this than training your fingers on keyboard or phones?

[aroundtheworls]

Early Jackass.

[SANNAFABICH]

Unfortunately they all died instantly some undeterminate time after this

[dalagutten]

[HuginnG]

@jakedude11 dafuq bro?

[TheCrazedMadman]

@jakedude11 All died from ODing off all the cocaine they were throwing......it was a different time back then....

[geordiewood]

before T.V.

[tjosbourne]

@geordiewood obviously not...

[Agemrepus]

it's funny. You can tell who most likely grew up in the city and who moved there based on their style of throw. There are two men around 00:40 that have a good throw. The rest don't use opposition meaning they're probably from the city and didn't grow up throwing balls, rocks, etc on open land.

[HulkSmashPunyHumans]

@Agemrepus maybe... or it could just be that the 2 men you mention grew up playing baseball and many of the others didn't or at least not as much.

What I noticed about this video is that they're all adults. Perhaps adults back then were more likely to do things outside that we normally attribute to children, such as snowball fights and making snowmen. Sort of makes sense in that they had less forms of entertainment compared to us and so maybe playing outside was something everyone did.

[superjumpman92]

who wrote the music?

[Daderade]

@superjumpman92  elton john on LSD

[patientzero532]

Cool.

[jgq85]

What did he think would happen

[johndoe7033]

Such elegant music. proper for its time frame.

[0oAnnelieseo0]

Woah, and this is 1896?

Amazing.
