  • holy fuck... that stings a lot.. ouchhhhhh

  • Not gonna lie, he's actually cute lol

  • The bonding created from this ceremony must be immense.

  • EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEKKKKKKKKKK­KKK

  • I wonder what their reaction would be to finding out the Jewish passage into adult hood.

  • @HaloZombie298 You do realise that they are called bullet ants because the sting hurts so much it feels like you've been shot. People can actually die of shock when stung unaware.

    Circumcision is like a kittens lick when compared to this.

  • apparently giving the bank your money can help protect from heart disease.

  • Who else feels like a wimp after watching this?

  • @ovechkin651 - Maybe so, but I also feel like I'm the rebirth of Albert Einstein after watching this. And personally, that's a lot more comforting.

  • Chuck Norris uses them as condoms

  • pffft amateurs XP

  • Damn nature....ah hell you know the phrase...

  • mmmm realy

  • What's the next thing,but their Dicks inside a fucking anaconda -_-''

  • a true MAN

  • LOOKS LIKE WE HAVE A BADASS HERE

  • They're probably given some epic hallucinogens to take their mind off the pain.

  • This is badass. Absolutely badass.

  • Lol, I'm sure all the tribes were like, 'Look how nasty OUR rital is!' "Nuh-uh, ours is nastier!"

  • I would never attempt this for a million bux I GUESS y Not

  • fuck it, i ain't doing that shit. if i was them i would head over to america :P

  • @0R74ND0 pussy

  • fuck that id rather be gay...

  • kinda hard to dance with a bunch of stinging-ass ants

  • My grandad is the one that's blowing the horn in the beginning

  • I'm never shopping from amazon again... I wonder what they did to my Video Games...

  • That shit sounds terrifying..tropical bullet ant my ass.. nigga better hook me up with some calamine lotion and a few cans of raid

  • once you have done that you can truly say you have been through some shit. i would take that over circumsision any day, but surely the shamans could load you up on some serious drugs first

  • Well I can honestly say, that ritual must suck some serious ass

  • im glad all i have to do is turn 18 lol

  • why do the hands turn black

  • @sammylife12

    Thats paint ;)

  • these guys must be insanely tough

  • I'm just glad its not a ceremonial ant condom

  • Don't the ants drown??

  • how can he be in a tribe like this and be named Ted?

  • I reckon, if you chop one of these warriors arms off in combat, they'd laugh at you, and tear your throat out with there teeth. These guys are tougher than tough.

  • the chief look like my friend simon

  • Dammm dat BOy is SEXYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

  • id say its really unnecessary but i bet once they're done they are much better people. I wish people like Donald Trump or Spencer Pratt had to do this.

  • what kind of culture is that?!!! eagar

  • @erik7070 Because their culture is not like yours, you fucking dumb american.

  • @MrGillanking that was too harsh, his question actually makes sense!

  • I just love these initiations videos :D

  • Those boys become rael retards.

  • @tudey5

    Don't want to be a dick but its real*

  • These boys become real men, unlike the majority of males in developed countries, especially Canada, parts of Europe, and the USA. Stay boys their entire lives.

  • Make them run until they throw up 20 times instead.

  • Ignorant bullshit.

  • I like the narration of this video but I find this tradition is just silly...I feel more pity for those ants than the actual people taking the stings.

  • @frichikendz more pity for the ants? Come on. They're insects. What are the guys supposed to do, not be accepted into the tribe?

  • @JohnBigmon

    What kind of pointless life is it when you recklessly follow some path that is already laid out for you? Those people are not brave before or after the ritual. If they were, they would either reconsider their traditional phenomena or question its logical essence. It is always easier following a paved road laid out for you than it is to pave your own sense of direction.

  • @frichikendz I accidentally voted this comment down, however I meant to vote it up with the force of a thousand suns.

  • HOLY FUCK 30 times worse than a Bee Sting!! DANG

  • Its fun if they put their penis inside the bag :)

  • these are reasons of why i wish i was a woman...

  • this is a good way to make your Bf's admit that they cheated lolz.... xD

    MAFIA THINGS RIGHT HERE! HOLY FUCK!

  • the twenty times seems kinda excessive, im sure they get the point by the 5th time lol

  • All you guys are fucking retarded ! They do it kuz it's what they believe in & they really think it will make them men

  • hi my name is johnny knoxville and this is 'Initiation With Ants'

  • @ayayay111 DUDE ITS BEEN BUT NOT BY JONNY KNOXVILE BY STEVO AND CHRIS WATCH WILDBOYZ

  • in that village i would be the oldest child in the tribe cuz not for the wind, sun, or water god would i put those fucking gloves on. they will call me TUMAKITA(translation) old child who won't wear gloves...fuck outta here man!!

  • @arkbishopbonkerboy dude that was hilareous lol I dont laugh much but that was funny

  • "not much unlike sticking your hand into a nest of honeybees". Yeah if the honeybees were given some sort of evil anabolic steroid-like serum to make their stings hurt a million times worse. Getting stung by a honey bee is NOTHING like these ants. Getting just one sting by one of these ants is insanity. To do this is a true journey through the mind and it brings you to the brink and back. It is fucking insanity just how much pain there is involved with this ritual.

  • THIS IS JUST STUPIDITY THERE!!!!

  • Thats not culture, Thats stupidity.

  • Who the FUCK was the one who came up with this ritual, and WHY did other people of the tribe accept this?

  • @erik7070 That's what I'm thinking. I understand you need to have a rite of passage to be a man, but THIS?!?!

    Honestly that shit will ruin you for life.

  • @erik7070

    Probably started as a dare.

  • @erik7070 A tv producer suggested it with the offer of a new community hut.

  • True warriors are named Ted.

  • What the fuck? TWENTY times?

  • pussies.

    in my tribe, we wear these on our cocks.

  • "wont be considered a true indian, a warrior"

    thats ok, i prefer AK's over sticks and stones anyways.

  • Jackass: IN AFRICA!

  • im getting itches on my back cause of this

  • I could never do that.

  • It's good to be able to handle pain. It's insane to intentionally put yourself through it.

  • this is stevos call for a new movie

  • Well I would not do well at all if I was stung by even ONE of those things because I'm terribly allergic to ants..... O_O

  • @MilanaMarara Goes to show how genetics has made some people weak.

  • This is interesting :)

    What a world we have, please respect their culture xD

  • OUCHHH

  • fuck that i wouldnt wanna be a man any way

  • @biggzthaboss1 You wouldn't want to be a man because of the pain? Or just because you just don't want to be one?

  • I'd do it.

  • respect other peoples culture , fucking ignorant bitch

  • @teamoyumi If only you knew how many ignorant people there are in this world. -____-

    I hate telling that to everybody. It's hard finding people like you. Thank you!

    Everyone else, PLEASE stop being so close-minded. If they're stupid for doing what they believe is right, then you're stupid for doing what you believe is right. We're all human and we're all different. No one is right or wrong for just living their life their own way. Instead of bashing cultures like these, think about your own.

  • @B2utiful23 Its not closeminded to find people who make gloves out of ants with the most painfull sting known to man to be idiots. Its common sense.

  • @Subcidal What do you think makes a man, then? Whatever your answer is, I'm sure it's what you believe because of your background or culture. It's CULTURE. It's going to be different for everyone. These people obviously know it hurts. They just believe taking the pain will make them men. Why is it a problem? It's who they are. I'm saying people are close-minded because people here are acting like their way is the right way when the right way is different for everyone.

  • why are there smokes coming out?

  • fuck this shit im gona stay a kid

  • no initiate can be considered a true wariror until his hands have suffored extreme nerve damage and may only feell the roughest of things mabe is she said why they do it poeple would understand....

  • So stupid...stupid red men

  • @electroguy 1996 - heheheehe! ;-)

  • WHAT THE FUCK....

    PlayerSupreme is right about one thing, initiation rituals purposely to kill off the weak, so there wouldn't be pussies among society.

  • I,think thats Fun to Doh hha..

  • so those kids are just practically getting shot with a minigun 20 times... 

  • I underwent this while on vacation down there. It was nothing! They make it look a lot harder than it is. After my 20 times of wearing the gloves, I opted for ten more rounds. Man I totally freaked that village out! Best part was, I got tons of Amazonian pussy afterwards. The indian chicks down there really dig this shit!

  • @ozarkmac  Really?

  • @ozarkmac No fucking way... you worn gloves over 20 times and then opted for 10 more.

    I'd say your arms must be paralyzed or something =/

  • @ozarkmac Lmao you troll XD

  • i wanna stick my dick in those gloves

  • @flippinfl00b  Haha lol I kinda wanna see that

  • O_O Fuck. That. I'd rather be a child.

  • These guys are kinda hot.....

    I would want to be a woman in this tribe :P

  • Fuck that.

  • think about it. how many other things in life could happen and instead of whining, you'd just say... shit, this ain't nothin compared to those damn bullet ants!

  • a better man? how does this make him better? Penis wise? Moral wise? they ahve no morals! Treats his wife better? cooks for her? contributes to society? Oh yeha they have no society! =S!

  • @Kagicali

    their society is better than your society

  • how the hell does he know what a motor is if he lives in a secluded tribe in the jungle?

  • hahaa they say remote tribe in the amazon yet his name is ted! hahaha 

  • in soviet russia men sting ants

  • @TheZillaJr in soviet russia there is no women. stfu

  • jesus fucking christ...

  • OUCH, OUCH, AND OUCH!!!!

  • Lol, his name is Ted.

  • Why not make them drunk again!?

  • I have such immense respect for this ritual. Call them masochistic. I don't give a shit. I'll tell you one thing, after going through this shit 20 times, there's nothing in life you'll fear. Hell, I got stung by a yellow jacket and cried my eyes out.....

  • how do you spell INHUBAE???

    as in the village where it happens???

  • Wow, in the summer i get bitten by a fire ant on my ass and i think my skins gonna fall off. When that happens again ( i know it will-_-)  ill think of these guys.

  • amazing! 

  • Ok, i got 1 more chief, no sir, i got you marked for 18 times, you need 2 more to hit 20, i know but how about something less painful? can i suck your cock instead? ok deal!

  • what if someone dies from this? what the fuck

  • Jackass = pansies.

  • @Enderschoice dude steve-o and chris pontius actually did this on the Wild Boyz show. Their hands were like balloons the next day.

  • @Enderschoice

    stevo and chris went through this on wild boyz

  • @Enderschoice you obviously dont know what pansies is supposed to mean

  • @gpheonix1 Blah Blah Blah yeah we all know they are actually flowers, but unless you're a Webster's dictionary then you really don't need to be trying to correct someone on THEIR context just because it doesn't match yours.

    He means it in the slang term while you take it literally. There. Done. It's dead.

  • @MadaraXIII lol =b i was just messing with you man dont take it so serious

  • @gpheonix1 My bad. I just hate when people get overly politically correct ><

  • @Enderschoice It would be awsome if they did this

  • @Enderschoice you probably couldn't do have the shit they did.

  • @gorrila0204 You probably couldn't spell "have" as well as them, lol

  • It takes a strong man to do this kind of ritual :/

    but hey they did it :)

  • So the ants are all like 'I'm gonna do some tunnelling today, how 'bout you Joe?' 'Yeah me too' then they get high, wake up in a glove and sting people. Fun times.

  • @Electroguy1996 lol ;p

  • If I had to do this, I would run around with the gloves on my hands singing can't touch this, by M.C. Hammer.

  • I could understand maybe 5x, or 10... but 20? I mean, that's just excessive. There comes a point where you have to realize they're going to do it and there's no real point in continuing.

  • omg see those bras~~~ i gotta get them

  • @imalittlechicky

    To get one of those bras you have to stick your feet in a nest full of hornets... 9 times.

  • evolution didnt hit these dumbasses i guess

  • @SteveSteves11 You were born in the U.S so how could you possible understand someone elses culture, when you dont have one yourself

  • did Chuck Norris went through this !!???

  • @DRLOUIES haha plz, chuck norris wears these wen hes cooking on the grill

  • @kevincarfreak LOL Freaking hilairous!

  • @kevincarfreak

    hahaha.

  • I wouldn't pass this test.... not everyone has balls of steel like these guys do

  • Hey should take some vicodin or have someone administer then dilaudid lol

  • People are idiots.

  • phew... glad that's over.

    Wait... I have to do it 19 more times?!

  • i prey for them that they have weed where they come from and know how to use it

  • FUCK YOUTUBE AND HIS CANCER COMERCIALS FUCKING SHIT COMMERCIALS GET BLOOD CANCER!!!!!!

  • this all begins when some crazy scumbag makes some poop up, forces it on his children, and then they will force it on their poor children. this isnt brave, its just plain old RETARTEDNESS OF THE MIND!!! WAHT MAKES A MAN IS RESPONSIBILITY, not this. you cant tell a poor little boy to stick his hands in that crap 20 times because " he cant become a man without it."

  • I respect the guy for doing what he "believes" is right but this is simply no better than suffering for ones religion. This kind of behavior may have served us well when we were crawling around caves but the age of enlightenment has come and gone. Both we and they should know better. Want to be a "man"? Take a mate, raise a child and help your community, even if its a hunter-gatherer society. Put the fairy tales to bed.

  • check out some vids about new Guinea they are also crazy people there

  • Ted is a brave motherfucker

  • @manifestgtr

    No kidding.

    Ted, I salute you, crazy bastard.

  • that technique probably makes them way more resistant to bug bites which they live with constantly, which would be passed on to their kids 

  • 3:18 "my body feels like a motor heating up" Shut the fuck up you dumb shit. You're stupid enough to get stung by ants in order to prove your "manhood" and you speak as if you know of modern technology? WTF?

  • ask the cheif can u be boy until 60 i wouldnt mind

  • I started taking Martial Arts since I was 7, and now I'm 21. I'm a Native American, and that counts to me. fuck stinging ants. Try broken bones and still fighting.

  • I wonder if this makes them immune later on?

  • Fuck that shit

  • has anyone fucked an Indian girl ?

  • "My dear son, you must do this to become a man."

    "My dear father - FUCK YOU!"

  • FUCK DAT SHIT

    mt motto hahaha...

  • Fucking stupid, seriously.

  • they should make a ant hat

  • compared to these muthafukaz, Jews got that shit easy with they Bar Mitzvah shit.

  • lol

  • ‎...every parent need those gloves...anytime a child misbehaves "PUT ON THE GLOVES"...

  • @SteveSabbai that parent would have the most well behaved kids in history.

  • where can i order some of these gloves?

  • @hoaxerrr E bay

  • This is fuckin retarded

  • omg i would be a child forver
