The Maine Lobster Game

[ironmustardseed]

Red Lobster needs one.

[superbarriman]

Nihon ai shitteru demo kore wa warui desu. Adoro Japón, pero esto es perder todo respeto por los animales.

[wi11y1960]

LOL why bother. I can get it for about $3 straight off the boat here in town.

[yangseo]

Ok, this made me feel angry and omnipotent at the same time...

How is it possible exist this kind of machine?

I hope the players of this shit become the victims of a "game" like this or worse, and of course, the people who invented it.

[fndin]

I Dont Care Much Cause We Eat Meat And Meat Are From Animals.....

[mirrorpiece]

I love japan.. but this is sick.

[hurrhurrmurr]

@mirrorpiece But this was filmed in Maine, in the USA.

Might want to work on your reading skills, or geography :P

[gippaloo]

WTF. Do you then carry a live lobster around with you while you walk the boardwalk?

[Accoolgals]

@PunkxIsxeverythingx - ikr .

[PunkxIsxEverythingx]

This is animal cruelty, and its terrible what they're doing to these animals, whoever came up with this idea is absolutely sick and twisted in the head.

[INSULTINGKLOWN]

@PunkxIsxEverythingx When crabs are cooked most oftenly they are boiled alive, this is NOTHING compared to that, but people still eat crab. Why? Because it tastes good and were higher on the food chain, we've been eating and killing animals for thousands of years, so stop being such a goddamn pansy about it.

[PunkxIsxEverythingx]

@INSULTINGKLOWN You're such an idiot. What the fuck do yuo think theyre going to do with them once they bring them home? And yeah, I know we have. It wasn't as bad before, but it's become a big sick industry of slaughter and torture. We used to eat animals to stay alive, now you guys eat animals to fill your greedy stomachs. Stop being such an ignorant asshole about it.

[INSULTINGKLOWN]

@PunkxIsxEverythingx I really hate you over-sensitive vegetarian pricks, no matter what you say, no matter what animal has to suffer, I'm going to sit down after a long day of work and have my goddamn steak.

[PunkxIsxEverythingx]

@INSULTINGKLOWN And it's the cunts like you that are going to end this world. Not caring about other living beings, willing to wipe them all out. Wow. Seriously? You care that much about stuffing yourself with seasoned carcass after your job that you're going to ignore the facts and keep supportive the big, mass murdering industries. Fuck, think about it for a second. Would you not care if you were born into the dirtiest, non-caring farm ever, 'raised' there and got fattened all day, then at the

[INSULTINGKLOWN]

@PunkxIsxEverythingx Blah blah blah, I don't give a shit.

[PunkxIsxEverythingx]

@INSULTINGKLOWN Obviously not.

[PunkxIsxEverythingx]

@INSULTINGKLOWN end of your life, you were killed inhumanely and/or watched your entire family die. I'm pretty sure that sounds like hell.

[OffYahTits]

@PunkxIsxEverythingx If you have a problem with it, talk to the company who came up with the idea. Don't complain and preach on YouTube about 'animal cruelty' and vegetarianism. It's not going to solve anything.

[PunkxIsxEverythingx]

@OffYahTits If you didn't like my comment, then just leave it alone (fuck off). Also, I said nothing about vegetarianism, INSULTINGKLOWN brought that one up.

[OffYahTits]

@PunkxIsxEverythingx Yeah fair enough you've got a point. But seriously though no one likes a little 15 year old bitch.

[PunkxIsxEverythingx]

@OffYahTits Says the guy who has OffYahTits as a username..

[PunkxRockerx503]

I would love to see the rubber bands off of the lobster and then see people reach in for them, That is some entertainment.

[abzde]

Awesome! He actually won. My friend tried winning one but couldn't get it.

[ipoDtouchlover5]

@ichrisful You are going to eat them anyway so lest have some fun getting them instead of going to the store to get one

[Devour209]

Hicks...

[ichrisful]

what if the claw took like a claw off, that would hurt

animal cruelty!!!!!

[dbaus183]

I am for Peta ! People eating tasty animals.

[bentony12]

hippee below

[Jamaalinnit]

I'd try my hardest to catch one over and over, because if I did win I'd get a tonne of satisfaction releasing it back into the wild...

[igotsachubby]

I don't support the mass slaughter of livestock and I don't eat meat... Humans are animals, we all have rights.

[MilwaukeeJAK]

I'd love to play something like this, except with catching turtles.

Because turtles are way more awesome.

[Hanssen69]

WOW you do actually snag a lobster.  So do they put fresh ones in daily?

[vmax316]

its popular in south west florida but they are not maine lobster they are canadian

[bruinsfan781]

@kiialy If no one wins the lobsters in a certain time frame they get released. Plus its maintained much cleaner and not crowded at all. This is not animal cruelty. The lobsters are actually getting a chance to stay alive

[Spremsplash]

Damn nature, you scary!

[fuerTiere]

Etwa 2,5 Millionen Fallen werden jedes Jahr im Meer ausgelegt, in denen sich je 6 bis 8 Tiere verfangen. Vor jeder neuen Fangsaison fürchten die Fischer an den Küsten der Fangländer, daß die Beute ganz ausbleiben könnte. 

[fuerTiere]

Die Überfischung ist ein offenes Geheimnis. Der Zusammenbruch der Population ist absehbar. Da die Hauptfangsaison im Frühjahr ist, die Nachfrage aber - und damit der Preis - in den Wintermonaten zu den vielen festlichen Anlässen steigt, wurden Möglichkeiten der Zwischenlagerung ersonnen, denn nur lebendig gekocht erhält der Hummer die rote Farbe.

[fuerTiere]

Eine Methode besteht darin, die Hummer massenhaft in abgeschottenen Meeresbecken zu halten - mit zusammengebundenen Scheren. Hunderttausende sterben in diesen Becken - ein einkalkulierter Verlust. In Kanada werden Millionen lebender Hummer in gigantischen tiefgekühlten Lagerhallen eingebuchtet - ebenfalls mit zusammengebundenen Scheren. Die anhaltende Tiefkühlung reduziert den Hunger und die Bewegungsbedürfnisse der Tiere.

[SeanCozy]

A bunch of drunks and a crane game where the prize is a Lobster? Genius! Morbid, but genius non the less

[gartini]

The claw.... Ooooo...

[mrdanik34]

@gartini haha toy story

[carledwardskittsy323]

SO MEAN WHO WOULD DO THIS???? EVIL PEOPLE!

[IzLoveMoneyz]

I WANT TO PLAY!

[wackyspencer1505]

o great i won..who wants a lobster?

[clayboy1243]

Lol I played this in main befor i wouldn't want to eat prize cause the water is green and the lobsters were brownish green

[MrBspooner]

@turkeyslayer100 haha okay whatever you say, but my other statment still remains true, just because you hunt and fish does not mean you have balls or are a tough guy at all...

[MrBspooner]

@turkeyslayer100 wow you are a tool! and i highly doubt you went wild boar hunting with a knife... and dont you feel cool making threats on youtube, wow, real tough guy. and just cause you hunt and fish does not mean you have balls, for your information.

[IRPVULTURE]

@turkeyslayer100 grow some balls man, coming from an 11yr old :-)

[bleachlord125]

Do they just drop to the bottom after you obtain them?

I know they'd die anyway for whatever reason(mostly cooking)

But that drop would hurt them, would it not?

[keyinregulus3]

I'd be afraid to reach into the machine to claim the prize...Not worth my fingers!

[sportsmansZenobia]

@keyinregulus3 aw! i wonder how he took this home..

[keyinregulus3]

Its a really common game in Korea. I've seen a lot of videos from there.

[Spartan9095]

FUCKING AWESOME!

[whiskerpoke]

even better if they had those claws lined up down the sides of a deep sea fishing boat. if you want to fish, fine, pay and your claw drops to the bottom. this might take a while, so be patient. if not, get drunk and make fun of other people on the boat with zinc noses and fanny packs on frontwards. hilarious!

[hannigan06]

Go fuck yourself alright and grow up eat a Salad you lame prick of a dung heap. Maine has the best lobster in the world. All corners of this planet want Maine lobster. Okay its how my state of Maine puts its self on the map. So fuck you donkey herding hippie.

I really hope you never come to Maine. We don't want your business you asshole. Maine has the best people in this country. So you can shut up. I'd so you you dirty trash talking bitch. 75 percent of US fish industry is from Maine.

[evilbackpackgirl]

that's um... kind of cool and messed up at the same time. I wonder if it puts the lobster in one of those little plastic fish bags like they do at the fair, except bigger.

Then you get to go home, Did you win anything today?, Yea, I won a lobster, I named him Bob.

No, no get that thing out of my house.

Oh, but please? I'll take care of him I promise.

Fine but if that thing pinches me just once, it's out the door!

[hannigan06]

A lobster would pop a plastic bag in a second.

[meandgaaraareone]

I feel bad, not for those who lost, for the lobsters.

[hannigan06]

Ah its either I eat them or a fish does. Circle of life man. Its alright you can't live and not eat.

[girlhitsbus]

fat, loud Americans are fat and loud, lol

[Generatorhead]

Revolting. And I'm not a vegetarian, vegan, etc., but this is revolting.

[drummo86]

om NOM NOM NOM NOM LOBSTIE!

[UkPR0]

LMFAO

[TheLobsterOfFate]

LOL DID U LIKE THAT

[UkPR0]

lmao yea it made me laugh out loud my dad was like wtf

[EmanRcksAtGuitarHero]

haha lol

[chriskeslinger]

The reason there are so many lobsters available is because we remove their biggest preditor...Lobsters. If we dont eat them they will just eat eachother... Most lobsters will eat over 1000 other lobsters in a lifetime. Go eat a burger and get over it!

[Generatorhead]

That is the most idiotic post I've ever seen anywhere. You make no sense at all, whatsoever. There are so many lobsters because we remove them??? If we don't eat them they will eat each other??? Jesus, you are as thick as a plank.

[Bugsy150]

thets just retarded people are just hurting those and you know why cuz there are people on this planet that are fucking enough to do this

[hermitcrabstuff34]

that is so mean jack ass

[oliver18754]

A drunk person probably made up that game.

[gabdude8]

so..... isnt this like tring to catch a person? impossable.....

[chriskeslinger]

Lobsters eat each other. When a lobster hatches their 2000 plus eggs only 1 percent survive the first year. Most of them get eaten by.....guess what?.... Yep, their family.

[chriskeslinger]

whats the difference between this and a grocery store where they yank them out of a tank with a rake. Sometimes pulling there arms and legs off.

[TheHoodedGravy]

im not an animal lover, but this seems soooo wrong i mean cmon!

[warlord1994]

they should put little asian girls in there too so that we can win them and then rape them to death.

[Greenday0550]

Thats right, they gotta work for thier dinner

[xhydropumpx]

This is one heck of aniimal cruelty, but I just can't help but be amazed at this.

[MaxintoshProductions]

@xhydropumpx well think of it like this. the animal is going to be steamed alive anyways... might as well have people pick what they eat in a fun way

[Bbfishman]

@xhydropumpx theres people dying everyday from war, crime, poverty, starvation and all types of other bullshit in this world. you really give a fuck about some lobster in a claw machine? you people amaze me with your sympathy for animals...like you dont eat meat and support the mass slaughter of livestock anyway..shut up about it no1 cares

[ghostgrabber]

@Bbfishman

some people do care...

[codsocrazy]

@xhydropumpx i do see this as right but they are gonna die anyways

[ckilsey]

is thi how u get your dinner?

[castoro83]

Fucking stupid fat old man, i hope you'll have the same thing when you will go in the hell!!!!!!!!

[twistoffate4]

thats mean

[YesImInThisVid12]

its mean... nd i jsust got back from maine!

[randomenvelope]

Were are thay supose to have them? In there pockets? Get the resturant to cook them a free lobster?

[sanecra]

lol the fat guys face @ 1:59 when he finally got his lobster

[gtlgilbert]

Fort Myers Beach, Fl

[gtlgilbert]

This machine is located at Channel Mark Waterfront Restaurant (Aka Tim's Place) they will steam them for you (for just 3.95) and serve with butter or make you a dinner for only 8.95! Awsome!

[roseofdeath]

That seems so cruel T__T

[theben1245]

that is pretty awesome...ive only seen one here in maine... but now days you can go buy a lobster for 2.99 a pound...and to all of those ppl who say that cruel or mean...lobsters are such primitive creatures that they have no nerve endings, so when the claw gets them they dont feel it...same when they are being cooked...they dont feel pain..

[ferretsrcrunchy]

Are you crazy, lobsters have no nerve endings? Where the hell did you hear that?

[killertu]

how much was it

[chriskeslinger]

$2.00 per try

[pseudocaveman]

HA, this made me think of what it would be like for a human to be in a vending machine, waiting to be "won" by something else.

[Necrodius]

Man lol that is AWESOME :)) how much per try? and did that guy eat it on the spot? lol or did he take it home? lol I would keep it as a pet

[NINJADUDE3000]

2 dollas for one try

[Necrodius]

Not bad I woulda done it a few times to save them lobsters. I don't agree on the cooking of most shellfish and lobster, etc. If they have to be cooked alive, then it is inhumane. They are alive, they can feel that water boiling them alive, they make noise, etc. Imagine if that was you, ya know? Same with clams, etc.. Unless they are killed before cooking, it is inhumane - period.

[RouteZeroDesign]

I'm not a vegetarian or anything like that, infact, yesterday i had shark fin soup,

but deciding the fate of an animal, through a game, just seems a little bit wrong to me.

[krzyazn]

think its called peta. honestly i dont think theres anything wrong with this anyway. theyre in a tank waiting to get eaten just like anywhere else and the claws probably dont even hurt them

[dorplein62]

you are right , the claws have rubber tips on the end, and will never puncture or damage the lobster armed body

[haymor1234]

dude i bed PDA or whatever the name of that animal loving organization hates this and spends like $500 getting lobsters out of thos to realese them heheheahaha

[thetunel]

que verguenza

[karthurg]

This is sadist : / i guess the lobsters don't sleep much...

[raul114]

i´m agree!

[wabbitczgodness]

:S this sucks.. poor lobsters.

[Kiialy]

I'm no animal rights activist, but it seems a bit wrong to keep probing the poor little buggers over and over again. Just pick the lobster out of a tank and dunk it in a pot. Much less stressful.

It's certainly unique though.

[FollowMyDamnedLaws]

They'll all die the same damn way

[Legofan4ever88]

@Kiialy Actually, some believe this is way more humane then a tank.

Many say that the water is way cleaner in a Claw tank then a normal, a caught lobster has the chance to escape the pot if they wiggle out of the claw, and there's a video on here about how they release uncaught lobster at the end of a certain time frame and some choose to actually release them.

[Gabriel6622]

@Kiialy lol at least the get a fighting chance

[Udontknown]

Fat male

[mr3arnest]

"I'm bigger than you, I'm higher on the food chain! Get in ma belly!"

(The other, other, 'other' white meat.)

[youtookpoop]

who ever makes thes games has a very vivid imagionation

[jwuonog]

What do you do with it after you win? Put it in your pocket and play more games?

[MoneyFreakcale]

they cook it for you for free

[kond90]

jajaaja q wapo

[Zerkerofhell]

its just for fun either way their gana get their ass eaten yummy, WHERES THE BUTTER!

[K1ttyKat09]

Thats so mean, think of it in reality!

They are putting live lobsters in a huge glass tank around so much noise and probably curious children who tap the glass and yell. And they are using these helpless creatures for our entertainment to grab at them with metal claws. its horrid, and you are sick people

[iTouchPod2G]

if you get the lobster they cook it for you for free but at the end of the day they use the lobster that dont get caught for food to

[TiRa999]

It's not worse when an octopus grabs 'em, rips their shell open and sucks the very flesh out ;)

[K1ttyKat09]

Well thats a natural food cycle.

Putting them in clawgames to be grabbed at for hours isnt.

[36theghost]

CALL PETA

[LuViNsP]

Fuck i'd call animal cruelty or spca on these FUCKERS. fukn claw withh stab through their EYES. Losers.

[treaby4]

only certain animals are protected by law...sad. I like how in britain they made the octopus an "honorary vertebrate" so animal cruelty laws apply to it there.

[okumuki91]

Game?oh god, i hate people playing that. there's no respect for life.

[cloud33113]

wow that man realy wanted it y didnt he just buy 1?

[EternalSkeletons]

i feel bad for those lobsters being tortured with a claw and i feel extra bad for the lobster that got grabbed

[CPRailRTC]

...so wining a lobster would pretty much ruin your night of drinking... who wants to carry a wet, dripping lobster around at a bar?

[Schlottathjotta]

idiotic thing .. who the hell came upp with this fucked upp Game!?!

[marilee44]

The size DOES matter --- That's a BIGGIN---YUMMMMM!

WAY TO GO!

Pass the butter!!!!

[winterbeforesilence]

That is fucking disgusting and cruel. I hope those fat rednecks suffer a painful death from all the meat and beer.

[iVegetarian]

Poor lobsters..

[SpideYDxB]

i want to play that :D

[beaglemanzzz]

Of course you cant win. The lobster will just use it's tail to escape.

[beaglemanzzz]

Although I was surprised when he got one...

[soxman17]

awe.....poor thing booo frickity hoooooooooo. Pass the butter!

[w0lfrunn3r]

thats just sick. in a bad way.

[Tylewis365]

i just dont understand how you would get it home

[AceLockCo]

You eat it! They cook it for you.

[seanershadi]

opoor things. oh well more food for us

[JennyME207]

Odd and Neat at the same time... unkind, yes. But it's a friggin' lobster not a dolphin. I would think the establishment that has these would have the ability to boil it right away. Otherwise what do you do with it to keep it alive til you get home? Because eating a dead lobster is a really bad idea. Great...now I want lobster!

[Shotgunner56]

actually, some resturants boil the lobster you win for you, so you don't have to

"keep it alive til you get home"

[FrontalTraction]

JESUS, the lobster is FOOD. Humans eat FOOD to survive. GET OVER IT!

[CAPTAINCAPSLOCKZ]

FOOD isnt suposed to be tortured by loud music a drunk old man and a claw

[FrontalTraction]

Shut up, fricking peta asshole. IT'S A LOBSTER!

[CAPTAINCAPSLOCKZ]

ok then u can put dogs in their to

[FrontalTraction]

You're crazy.

[CAPTAINCAPSLOCKZ]

why dont u play with ur lego or search peta on wikipedia what they rly do

[FrontalTraction]

I did, they have actually KILLED animals! WHAT LIARS!

[broderickg2]

It's a fucking lobster. get over yourselves.

[piccuh]

that's insanely cruel. shame on you, to whoever even thinks about dropping money into one of these torture chambers.

[mandy26lez]

oh shut up you are a tree hugging peta nutjob lobsters cannot feel anything

[piccuh]

oh yer right. i reeeally enjoy going around, spending my weekends hugging trees. your a fucktard. of course lobsters can feel stuff. and peta is american. i am not american.

[Rallymenow]

Actually the lobster's pain is too small to connect enough nerve endings to it's central cortex. (lobsters don't have enough nerve endings to feel pain)

[fredottman]

that makes NO sense. Show me where you got that from.

[bigmeg]

This is out of order...and very cruel. Be ahamed of yourself....stupid bloody yanks.

[LiverpoolPoet]

this is just cruel!!!!! It's not bad enough that these poor creatures have to be boiled alive, now you can torment them beforehand! This is nasty!

[LafinJack]

Your mom was nasty.

[arcader34]

ya your mom was nasty

[videoman72]

i have been there!

[arcader34]

really were is it

[cageboyes]

The fat guy looks hungry for a lobster.. come to me mr lobster... yum yum.. what the hell is he going to do once he wins it.. seriously?

[shyguyisshy]

I'm so happy for the guy at the end =)

[bigbabel]

questa cosa è terribile!!! poveri animali....

[chriskeslinger]

Now Fishing is animal abuse. What next! This game is fun and very popular!

[Avfc4evasotc]

You are a idiot!

This isnt fishing people dont put fish in a tiny glass box surrounded by loud noises and then lower a claw that constantly harrases them grabs at them pull at them and occasionally yanks them out and drops them from a hight. This is cruelty and anyone who doesnt think so is a complete plank.

[bkhnl]

Pathetic animal abuse.

[gr4yJ4Y]

You could that guy at the end was thinking, "I'm gonna win me a free lobster."

...and he did.

[marcioangel]

jajajjaja... xD

[kenshinvsenishi]

k triste....

[ccjga]

i think this i very cruel not nice

[plaagske]

skip to 1:50 for the catch
