[WindBreaker77]

one question. why do you eat gross stuff on purpose when it's not enjoyable

[tekubishido78]

i only able to say 4 word that's one big bug O.O

[FarangBalls]

I ate on of those. It looks like a giant water beetle. they swim in the rice paddies and have a painful bite.

[FlickerFlee]

When you said it was like eating beef jerky...I got a little sick to my stomach...thanks for ruining jerky for me hahaha

[darrylhaynes]

whats wrong with you????

[nicepantsemerald]

You are a genius for eating it whole

[DomakuMakunara]

Did you happen to try Durian Fruit while you were over there? I've had some of that stuff, and it's pretty rank. Worst Fruit I've ever had in my life.

[vivistine]

wow you are so good at trying new things, and liking it too a lot of people usually hate food that they're not used to.

[Dorisequador]

I'll stay with MacDonalds Thank you very much hahahhaa yucky..

[LindenbaumMusikLtd]

That's a giant waterbug. Not a cockroach.

[belliouse]

Haha. You're doing it wrong.

You're supposed to get the wing out and open that bag and eat the inside of that bag.

Some people get the front leg and just chew it, then spit it out.

That's all you eat. Not that whole thing.

[thaipulsedotcom]

@belliouse NOW YOU TELL ME! I was a noob eating this stuff - I had never eaten it, never seen anyone eat it - I had no idea. I figured everyone at the entire thing. I learned my lesson... no thanks to you! hahah.

[alexlilsnshn]

@thaipulsedotcom Wow, out of all the interesting things you ate.. what was the worst and what was the best? Just curious, some of it looks good! :)

[alkali2011]

Hey man, for putting yourself through that, you've got a big LIKE from me.

[freakman707]

HAKUNA MATATA!!!!

[flam3dout]

dude your fucking amazing

[D1uGun]

euhhh! euhh is right!

[KinguNoKin]

Ancient man used to eat bugs to survive. So what you say at the end of the video is rather stupid.

[nicenexpensive]

what a junkie

[Athrunwong]

Looks like a giant water bug.....

[xbox7203]

did it taste discusting

[Mezmarizeoz]

fuken sic

[pinoyericsonic]

omg this is interesting..what was the gross thing ever you taste it?

[thaipulsedotcom]

@pinoyericsonic I'm not sure really... but i don't think it was one of these bugs... Oh, I know what it was... in Hawaii someone gave me eel sushimi. Raw eel. I gagged so many times trying to get it down, finally I spit it.

[flam3dout]

@thaipulsedotcom WAT?!?!? EEL IS SO GOOD RAW EEL OMG... Eating a cockroach is NASTY!!!!! 

[TheFlamingPC]

@thaipulsedotcom Right after you said "Raw eel," is a giant thats what she said..

[TheFlamingPC]

Oh and you look like a cross between tony hawk and house

[kojak1two]

The Thais I know suck on the legs & shell but don't eat those parts. They eat them more like prawns including sucking the head out.

[shireenyin]

cockroaches go to toilets and trash in china ! >:D

[manny298]

Soon Americans will be eating Cockroachs.... Wait til the U.S. Dollar collapse... The numbers indicate the U.S. dollar doesn't have much time left.

[frithar]

I get so grossed out watching you eat this crap...but I still watch! LOL What does that say about me?  :D

[Merliahsummer16]

o guh ehe i heate the sound yuck

[amerigoromano]

Yummi! You've made me hungry for that!;))))

[TheTortugaTanker]

Dude- I gotta give it to you! I wouldn't have the stomach to do that if I were in your shoes, but thanks for letting us know what it takes like & for the vid!

[GaiusICaesar]

:/

[nodamnnickname]

can't believe ima say this but when i saw him chew that it made me kinda hungry

[Gtrplyr1]

how about some bbq sauce on those wings :)

[epiclabre]

I wouldn't even touch that.

[catman1111000]

Man i thought it was raw!'!! that would big cool!!! I've eat'en thing raw spiders,earwiggs,worms,wood lice,ants all raw it's not so bad!!! man up dude!!

[bill2p]

They're not cockroaches, but giant water bugs, what the Thais and Laos call Meng Da. They're carnivourous and live in ponds and streams. Not much different from eating shrimp or crayfish really.

[surfnmtns]

Great videos Vern! Just spent a month in Thailand and saw a lot of these food critters. I ate some minced frog and a bamboo worm but no stomach for the rest. I heard a story from a bug seller of a few farang who supposedly got violently ill from food poisoning or parasites and one that died from eating the bugs from complications of DTD ingestion. Guess some of the critters have high levels of DTD from the farms. Have you heard of this? Do you think it safe to eat them next time I'm there?

[blessed2013]

Do you ever eat anything alive?

[BrianGriffin83]

Good to know that it was dead and cooked. It looks like a cup of tea after seeing the video of that guy eating a giant larva alive. That made me really sick...

[fuzzleteala]

No way in HECK you'd get me to eat one of those!

[fuzzleteala]

Even if I was drunk, or dying of starvation, I wouldn't eat that!

[Yellowfirefly]

what the insect make noisy sound during the hot summer??

i think that what he is eating

[kaidose]

tony hawk?

oh...nevermind

GROSS WHAT ARE YOU EATING!?

lol

[HistoryTours]

if this guy can eat insects with literally no reaction I am sure eating People would be a breeze for him

[huzaifah123]

what were you drinking?

[onanidaily]

Hmmm... Nam daeng aloy mak mak !

[agentdanace5]

what does it taste like?

[LittleBigKRATOS]

I wouldn't mind eat crickets, or small worms, but a freaking roach, noooo thanks.

[MrWilliam5564]

Fanta FTW

[legendofzeldas]

No offence but this is just wrong on SOOO many levels

[OdikosGamias]

Damn lucky guy i wanna try one (cooked) too

[linkthemain]

Don't they have alot of protien?

Shit I couldnt eat that unless i was drunk...

[IamHaddy]

crunchy goodness. so much protein

[Krowsnose]

Well, I gagged the first and only time I ate deer jerky so I'll probably say no to a giant cockroach if I'm ever offered one. :P

[harajuku131]

im thai but i dnt eat those

[harajuku131]

im thai but i dnt eat those

[sazji]

It's a giant water bug (not a beetle). We have them in the US too, they're a little smaller but not by much. They call them "toe-biters" as well; they can give a pretty painful bite. They don't float, they mostly live below the water and breathe with a little siphone on their tail. I've seen fish sauce flavored with them.

[ichimurakun]

was that raw or cooked? and did you get indigestion?

[thaipulsedotcom]

@ichimurakun cooked - everything was cooked. I don't eat much raw here in the way of bugs. NONE in fact... lol. Good question - some people think I'm eating this stuff raw - I don't think I could take that.. I'd spit a worm up if I did that... I'm sure of it.

[NAWFSIDESOLDIER]

@thaipulsedotcom was it good?

[SteliosEllanios]

this guy need hospital FOR CRAZY GUYS

[preachacvideos58]

SNAPPED

[jirarojbbq]

hahaha, im thai and i've never know thai people eat something like this! yikes, but I've eaten some worms, the fried white little worms with salts, thats my favorite.

[JACKSPADE100]

This is a water beetle. It's safe to eat, and very good if you mash it with pepper, salt, msg, garlic, asian beef jerky, and fish sauce. You can eat it by itself but it does have a strong scent or smell with an after taste.

[auxilliarydrain]

You're not supposed to eat the WHOLE thing! Just the meat.

It's very common for Thais to eat them. Really hardcore Thais will just grab one up live, bite the head off and suck out all the guts. They're water bugs that eat stuff like frogs and are a delicacy, especially the pregnant ones with these little green eggs in them. My mom had me help her catch some in Florida for her to roast up. The burning smell is awful. I could never bring myself to to eat them past tasting them slightly though.

[thaipulsedotcom]

Oh man - green eggs & ham? jesus... see - I'm not really that hardcore... eating pregnant ones with squishy eggs would turn me off in a bad way...

[hilololomoa]

that is not a Chinese Cockroach!!is a  water bugs.XD

[thaipulsedotcom]

thanks Dan, someone told me that too a while back... how in the world does something so big float on top of the water?

[tramineboss1]

wow lol you got guts

[l33thustla]

That's not cockroach.... they use just for smell of it.. I love the smell :D I like to chew it :D

[SuperFuTuRe2010]

ymmmmmmmmmm!!

[mothman258]

you should go to china and drink this drink that has snake venom in it..it tastes nasty but it gives you the energy to run up the biggest mountian/mountains without stopping

[thaipulsedotcom]

I've seen that on a show about hong kong i think it was... that's sick stuff... and when they bleed a snake into a cup and drink a glass of blood? WTF is that all about? Not for me - thanks!

[Endlessx87]

@thaipulsedotcom Oh yeah! i think the guys from Top Gear BBC did a show on that when they were in Vietnam!  That Definitley looks exotic and tough to drink, I would say..

but that roach looks really 'gamey' the way you chew on it.

[Kuramoong]

This looks quite tasty. I like jerky, if it tastes like that, I might try to find some to eat lol.

[Soilwar]

Hey! I wonder what's the grossest thing you ever ate there? Is there something that you didn't try yet? I would love to try all this stuff, too.

[thaipulsedotcom]

the grossest thing... I used to pick the worms out of the "sator" - which are stink beans or fava beans... but now I don't waste my time, and eat them alive. I had an apple the other day and it was bitter as I was chewing it - I looked down and saw this brown mess - a dead worm - and i had swallowed a good bit of it already. That was sick...

[lyndonwiebe]

Awesome video. Nice to find your videos1

[littlefrank90]

lol at 1.40! that's a four stroke :P awesome sound XD and awesome video

[isiah180]

2:07 - 2:09 thats ehat she said hahhahahahahaha

[vorpal22]

So how common is it for Thai people to eat these in Thailand?

[k0oki3m0nst3rz]

everyday......its like a snack to most people.

[zxcvbnmjfjf]

aw fuck man i shoudla warned you earlier i ate one of those things about a year ago and its legs are like leather, and i didnt eat its wings because they just kidna flaked and i didnt liek it, but really it tastes like intense powdered salt and a really weird other flavour, cant describe it besides cockaroach lol, after it i got sick becaus rit wasnt fully cooked and it had some weird thing in its stomach which didnt settle in mine, but yea nice video you did it pretty calm

[sfw79]

Well done man... dont think I would be able to do that myself.

You have ball... or not taste bud ;)

[chungboyXD]

mmmm....

[jcan408]

I ate one of those they are really salty and chewy lol

[mrdeleted]

There is a trailer park close by that was build on an old dump, and there are plenty of roaches there. I invite you to come have a feast@

[Markus4869]

this is a thai water scorpion if you ask me....

[aztec7722]

yum

[felipobmx]

Yummm!! Don't you know that is the best!!

[ancalites]

looks good

[bebejuiceexo]

my godd lol that is pretty crazy

[7spear]

"My body doesn't want me to swallow it."

haha!

[twiikimchi]

are you reuploading the videos? :0

i still think you're brave, btw. XD

[thaipulsedotcom]

For the Gross Grub Series the original videos were too poor of quality. I've since redone them - and they're MUCH better now - higher resolution. Youtube doesn't allow us to replace videos with a fresh copy that's better resolution... so- oh well.
