Chuck Palahniuk - Guts

[DaKurlzz08]

Cool story bro.

[SSJ4Yujiro]

I just like to think of Edward Norton's voice as The Namless Narrator when I read this.

[kainenarmstrong]

@darthkyle1 Chuck Palahniuk is genius, not everything a great writer writes must be genius, there is fucked up and good, but not genius in my opinion.

[uploaded113redone]

haha i dont even have the attention span to listen to this im just reading comments

[Schochr05]

Does anybody know if the South Park episode Scrotty McBoogerballs was based off this reading? It's the first thing that came to mind while listening.

[uploaded113redone]

@Schochr05 yeah this is exactly where matt and trey got the idea nice observation

[frazzledazzle89]

@uploaded113redone i was just watching that episode of South Park and this video was the first thing that came to mind.

[Lod531]

I listened to this, and ate my dinner at the same time. And enjoyed both all the more.

[Salineddi]

It's like a reading from a Dan Savage column in The Reader. Heeeheeeeeee!

[666lilnickY]

Didn't puke or pass out but WAT THE FUCK.

[morton023]

I dry heaved a little, but didn't faint or throw up =/

[darthkyle1]

How can anyone say that's genius?

[2facedninja]

That was great, like really lol He's a genius.

[DavidOrtiz36]

this is kinda boring... i mean i think its pretty crappy but also boring... if you cant take this you need to get out more

[TheChaosElement]

Wow, I was the 6,666th person to watch this video! I'M GOING TO HELL! THANKS CHUCK!!!!

[thdominat0r]

maybe the people that fainted were just actually holding their breath

[423945153]

da fuck

[BaraYaoiManga]

Video ends.

Long awkward silence.

[AlyseTrappedinJars]

When I read Haunted this story stuck with me the most. Chuck is such a brilliant man. Such a great story teller. A wonderful writer.

[TheJonnyWarner]

Holy shit!

[TheJonnyWarner]

So basically you faint if you hold your breath?

Not doing it.

This story is really stupid and crap. I don't faint and I don't think it's good neither.

It feels quite dirty and homo to me lol :/

[Indierockandr0ll]

@TheJonnyWarner "Dirty and homo"?... seriously?... leave.

[MysticalFlyingMonkey]

This is rather shit. I've heard and imagined much  worse.

[DalekGirl93]

didn't faint. but ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww­wwwwwwwwwwww

[inferno232]

Oh wow. It really says something about me that I did not feel ill or light-headed, I guess. Still, that was awful... The ending... Wow. Chuck's a great writer.

[blah64924]

2 people could not hold their breath

[XxWhIpLaSh18xX]

Is it weird I've listened to this story at least 10 times?  It's so damn entertaining!

[lahadc]

it reminds me of the south park episode, were the kids write a book, and anyone who reads it throws up, but then they think its the greatest book ever written. lol

[greenluxi]

breathless, pun intended. 

[RachelHC]

I get a little bit further each time i listen to it/read it. I'm still pale and queasy.

[destefanokyle]

2 people fainted

[Robstailey]

like 80 people have passed out during public readings of this.

not counting the ones who run to the bathroom.

[goblinob]

@Robstailey in an interview Chuck said the "faint count" is about 200 now

[AlbinusMakedonion]

Definitely of the greatest authors of modern-horror, transgressive themes and poetic prose of today! Maybe of all time! He and Cormac McCarthy are my personal favourite American authors!

[homicidemanex]

Just talking about this at work today made a guy pass out. He had already heard it. Just the memory of it.

[tonystark106422]

This made my sister faint. Swear to God. Hysterical and wrong; loved it. Wonderfully written, wonderfully delivered.

[johnthedude]

brilliant, the carrot of dammacles

[crypt375]

Is this the voice of the dude who directed Choke?

[TylerMinority]

@crypt375 its the voice of chuck palahniuk the writer of choke and fight club and many more amazing books i recomend you buy them all

[crypt375]

@TylerMinority I have dude , I'm a fan lol. It just sounds a lot like that actor. It doesnt really sound like Chuck
