Treadmobile

[Shangas]

Holy shit! Now running actualy TAKES ME PLACES!!!??? Why the fuck wasn't this invented fifty years ago!?

This thing is such a crock of shit!

[Augenstein]

Yabba dabba doo?

[indigoandbluetoo1]

I want it

[nedk09]

the man in this video died of embarassment shortly after this was filmed

[LaZZieable]

The Irony

[iamhungey12345]

I bet a person who use this received funny looks from some passerbys.

[piplupsingularity]

To the Redundantmobile!

[OlofP]

Retarded invention is retarded! Trolololol!!

[NonRandomUser]

Nobody actually BOUGHT one of these machines, right?

SIX THOUSAND DOLLARS??? (That's ten PSTRIPLES, for those of you keeping score.)

[newtboy99]

I have an idea. What if I created a device that allowed you to move forward as you run!

[joshuasd]

Wow... Run in a moving treadmill to be able to run outside... FREAKING AWESOME!!! GENIUS INVENTOR!!!

[link991]

@joshuasd

come on, the running to move it is the least stupid thing about it, bikes are the same way.

It looks like it would be hell to steer and maneuver, and I don't think it has any kind of braking system, unlike bikes.

[shockingproductions1]

Fuck Cracked. This thing is awesome.

[ParaSpite]

@shockingproductions1 I know, right?

Though maybe trolltastically awfulsome would be a better wording. This thing is pure, horrifying GENIUS. I'm not sure whether to cry from laughing, or from horror! But either way, I will be laughing.

It's so bad, but that's what makes it good.

[ProjectExodus]

At least you won't have to worry about stepping on dog crap while running anymore...

[Ancel4]

I love how the handlebars are rounded off at the ends, so it, literally, has no point.

[yourleaderDrChaos]

Haha. The recommended videos are hilariously unrelated. wait. "The Most Useless Machine Ever"?

Oh my mistake. They are related.

[StripedHyena1]

who was the retard that came up with this?

[Shangas]

What kind of retarded piece of shit did I just see...

[UnknownGunslinger]

THIS...IS... AWESOME!!!!!!!

[saber2435]

MST3K did it.

[rRecoveryProd]

You know what's better? Actual running, you retard! I'm talking about the one who made this thing.

[bloodfalconGX]

hella stupid

[SheddHeadz]

@bloodfalconGX hella

[mengle2004]

This has to be fake. Right?

[motorbutt500]

that is fucking retarded, AND you it runs balls slow -____- FUCK THAT make it fucking go 40 MPH !!!!

[EGarrett01]

Ugh, you KNOW somebody would buy this too. Some yuppie mother***ker...you just KNOW it.

[skofuzen]

oh my god that thing sucks.. haha...

[seafoamwinter]

What does this improve?

[nprbum]

"This is going to change America from a fat one to a fit one."

Right, because fat people are going to be motivated to be active by all the people laughing at them when they use this thing?

[Seger626]

Ever hear of a bicycle? Just wondering ...

[vandaidx]

This is faster than running, right? So you could put one treadmobile on a bigger treadmobile to go even faster. Do it enough times and BAM!

Instant teleportation.

[AntiTPG]

@vandaidx I'd assume that you'd studied physics enough to know that it would actually be slower, right? Friction and the like?

[Razkull]

@AntiTPG You're forgetting about gear ratios.

[AntiTPG]

@Razkull Yeah, but wouldn't that require more force?

[Razkull]

@AntiTPG Sure, but you didn't mention anything about force required.. you mentioned speed.

[AntiTPG]

@Razkull Yeah well I'd have thought it would have been obvious that I implied that you were running without forcing it.

[Razkull]

@AntiTPG What are you talking about? All you said is that it would be slower. The speed of the treadmobile has nothing to do with the friction created, it has to do with the ratio of the wheels to the treadmill. We don't know what that ratio is, so to assume it is slower is stupid.

It's likely more work that just regular running, but that's a completely different topic than the speed of it.

[AntiTPG]

@Razkull I just said implied

[vandaidx]

@AntiTPG Even better

Friction -> Fire

And scientifically speaking, the best kind of teleportation is the one that involves fire and large vehicles. Imagine yourself suddenly appearing in your office. Not that impressive, right? Imagine again, but now you appear atop a flaming tower of treadmobiles.

QED

[AntiTPG]

@vandaidx Wait, what?

[GhettoGnom]

Leg wagon rip-off??

lol

[SuperstarSarahx]

"Whats overtaking us darling?" "Erm.... a treadmobile?!" :')

[Eatm308amA]

I have a bicycle thank you.

[HektorColorado]

hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha­hahahhahahahahahhaa

[Hipstersinspace]

1453: Johnannes Gutenberg invents the printing press.

1876: Alexander Graham Bell invents the telephone.

1955: Jonas Salk creates a vaccine for polio.

2007: Some guy with no common sense and too much time on his hands creates the $6,000 monstrosity known as the Treadmobile.

Truly, this is a landmark innovation!

[TheBehattedOne]

@Hipstersinspace

I like you.

[samisyosam]

The music... OH GOD THE MUSIC!

[FarhanC99]

Cracked!

[yadziaplz]

this thing cured my herpes!!!

[MagnaCentipede]

Is it just me, or is that the most stock music ever?

[sal7t5]

i think i saw this on theonion.com

[Maayl]

yo dawg, i heard ...

[puckman5444]

Now that Civil Union is legalized, expect to see a jump in sales.

[DoctorBismuthAquatic]

I might have missed something, but did we see this turn? Do we even know if it would turn? The wheels look awfully close to the chassis.

[Cavariggo]

this is brilliantly moronic

[whilshals]

brakes?

[789marsh]

''this will change America from a fat one to a fit one''....yeeah naah I don't see that happening anytime soon

[cyty13]

@789marsh not to mention that I know a bunch of people here in Europe that wouldn't fit on that awful contraption

[sycx1]

stupidest product ever!

[puckman5444]

Doesn't this jackass know that the wheels would be more efficient if instead of being fat tires, to be thin like racing bycicle wheels to make the transfer of energy more efficient.

[gameboy010203]

@puckman5444 dont u know it would be even more efficient to just...you hop off ?

Maybe get a pair of roller blades if you're lazy .....even a cycle if you're woefully uncoordinated.

[puckman5444]

@gameboy010203 Whats just hilarous is like, the engineering concepts that went into this are matched by a 3rd grader with a crayon.

[CaptainFluffy6644]

@puckman5444 read the highest rated comment, u missed the joke

[puckman5444]

@CaptainFluffy6644 I thumbs it up, dont worry:P

[Monkor001]

This is one of those things people would buy then promptly store in the garage and hang clothing from it.

[ItIshMehXD]

@Monkor001

but it's $6,000, o-o

[mrmidget94]

alex astilean, you're fucking retarded.

[MissRandomIsRandom]

Wow. And when TV's Frank invented this on Mystery Science Theater 3000, we all laughed at how silly it was.

Except now it's real... XDD I want one. lol

[Dejavo]

ameericaaa, fuck yeah!

[TwosComplement]

Uh, doesnt this defeat the purpose of a treadmill?

[thecoolster28]

i would buy a cycle instead!

[Bloodyloody]

is he died ?

[LuckyCowRS]

Walking works too.

[MistressFeawen]

what is this I don't even

[kayman92]

Hey guys you know you could spend $6000 on this or you could save money by using my new invention... running!

[xxonebludxx]

Let me see it turn.

[ArareFISH]

lol

[code255]

lmfao!

[aviator4]

what is the point exactly

u ether run outside or u run on a treadmill indoors

[lunna2k]

how stupid is that xD

[machinator1978]

great need one for my mother in law

[creatura90]

I am a genius I have just discovered running and walking. I can sell it to you all for a price.

[Alastor999]

Think of it this way, if you're actually stupid enough to buy this thing, you deserve to lose that six grand and much, much more.

[OGRM]

yo dawg yo...

[KattInTheHatt]

what. the. fuck.

[Warrior536]

*Facepalm*

[APANDADNAPA]

This seems like it's been done before...

Oh yeah, walking.

[SelkitFox]

Wait. So hang on here... to run around outside, you run. On a treadmill. To make four wheels spin. Over perfectly level terrain you could... run on?

Rube Goldberg would be proud.

[ThereWillBeSpaghetti]

This has to be one of the most wonderful ideas mankind has ever thought up of. If I was lucky enough to be the man to think this up, I would be set for life just from the money the thought of this ingenious creation would bring in.

[SelkitFox]

I'm fairly sure they've already invented something that does almost exactly what this does: It's called a bicycle.

[ThereWillBeSpaghetti]

@SelkitFox I'm fairly sure that they've already invented something that does almost exactly what this does: They're called legs.

[SelkitFox]

...Touche, bringer of Spaghetti. Well played.

[MrPeen1]

look its the Flintstones lol

[carslayer]

Its official! WORST IDEA EVER!

[lisadawnsmith]

don't forget to wear your snuggie!

[mzmadmike]

Next will be a chair to put on your couch so you can sit while you sit.

[chrisdoney]

This is more useless than the underwater shower ! lol Great vid!

[rockcabbage]

WANT/NEED/REQUIRE!!!

[jutct]

this thing costs $6,000. yes, SIX GRAND. and to top it off, their website is full of grammar and spelling mistakes.

[stingstungme]

Does failblog know about this?

[ThatMan0verThere]

This has to be the most useless contraption i have ever seen.

[basilisk113]

yo dawg I heard you like to run! So I put a treadmill on wheels so you can run while you run!!

[Sevault]

first I lol'd

then I O.O'd

then I lol'd again

at your comment

[MrBeardstyle]

This Successful troll might be very successful

[trackster11230]

Yes! Now I can run outside!!

Oh wait...

[Arachon]

"Men-Powered"? o,O

[JacobTheFruit]

It's sure be hard to bang someone on that....

[elronman]

for those of thinking you could just run dont forget with this you can coast

[Ahlycks]

...

[newsboy600]

Why not just walk?

[SoulfulBrutha5805]

Finally. Now I can run and look like a total tool at the same time!

Thank you Treadmobile!

[exactomacto]

I visited the website and instantly remembered tips of making websites that I learned in Digital Media, seeing as they broke most of the rules of thumb. Not to mention the whole thing it looks like something right out of the 80's. Sigh.

[StRic07]

couldnt you just run???????

[mikesoccer11]

thats the joke!!!!!!!!!!

[gJonii]

The most awesome idea.  Ever.

[MarkMurderous]

OMG, I hope I see you on a street corner one day begging for change with a sign that reads. : "treadmobile company wen't bust, please help"

Dumbest idea fucking ever.

[WrittenScream]

lmao, this is retarded

[khatholic]

I laughed. Then I cried.

[BloodLust1121]

Flintstones did it...

[JustAnAdjunct]

LOL that's exactly what I thought when I saw this.

[VampireKiller08]

Im a get this and a shake weight to impress my friends

[DanToppy]

So this costs 6000 dollars... I think I'd rather save the money and run seeing as it's the exact same thing.

[SanitysEclips3]

This is one of the funniest pointless products I've seen in a while XD

[HcOtaku1337]

And the douche bag gadget of the year goes too...

[whatthehellpeople]

Why don;t you just go for a jog and save yourself the money and shame?

[Bombizzen]

Apparently, the creator of the Treadmobile looked at a treadmill and thought, "Well, that's pretty good, I guess. But what if we put some wheels on it and, in the process, ruined the only useful aspect of treadmills? It would be fucking awesome, that's what."

[DAJ01]

"MOVE FORWARD WHILE YOU RUN IN PLACE"

I'm beginning to see why the terrorists hate us...

[Lief21]

Just going to state the obvious here, but why don't you just, I don't know, walk?

[dkman222]

want to loose all self respect? order one now!

[Kokosiak1]

it is just stupid bicycle :) worst in all ways

[Nerupe0]

Aurgh!

[Sulacu]

I knew it'd only be a matter of time before walking became obsolete.

[KyeeeMang]

I seriously could not stop laughing at this shit, the guy riding it must know its fucking shit!

[GLUBBERMANTHEGREAT]

this is......AWESOME!

[soulastar]

YES.

[apinchbeck]

im not mad, im just a disapointed :P

[Andy101001]

FUCKING THING IS ENORMOUS how the hell do u turn

[aznhobodownthastreet]

that is the dumbest idea in the history of man

worst than the snuggie and pet rock

[shadowhunt86]

So basically, it's Fred Flintstones car, modified for the XXI century :-/

[Ikkiku]

Technicly, it's not a bad idea.

But it looks pretty stupid.

[McJznee]

LoLest thiNg ever ExciSted !! xD

[Webins]

Sometimes the American people's entrepreneurial spirit goes a little over-board.

[KrapXela]

Gotta love that music.

[boomer4666]

i guess this way u get fresh air...o_o LOL im tryin to find a way why this isa good idea

[HeeeyItsMachitu]

okay, for people saying "but this goes faster than running"

why is that useful? why would you want to go faster on your jog? you get more exercise going slower..

[missmariss99574]

it may not be useful... but it sure as hell is fun! besides, i think the people who would seriously consider buying a treadmobile aren't the type to find the most reasonable method for exercising

[HeeeyItsMachitu]

you're kidding. you actually like this piece of shit?

it's the stupidest invention since..

since......

no, this is the stupidest invention ever

why don't you just fucking run.. seriously who invented this, I want to track him down and cut off his legs so he can't use his own little gay treadfuckingmobile.

[missmariss99574]

The first line was sarcasm. the rest agrees with everything else you said... except for the violence

[HeeeyItsMachitu]

"this will change america from a fat one to a fit one"

I can't believe this isn't a fucking joke

[mostafal1994]

@HeeeyItsMachitu

Exactly the comment I wanted to write. Thumbs up for you!

[welstijlfilms]

I published this video on the Dutch website WELSTIJL (6 january) kind regards Sem Mallée

[skeetercamp]

sometimes the funniest thing about youtube: people's comments. The doubles is just soooo funny! I bet it took some coordination to get that together!

[XXFireXManXX]

LOL The whole point of a treadmill is you don't have to go outside.

[PlasticKnuckles22]

I have an idea, how about you run with your OWN TWO FEET. Maybe we'll see the same results.

[ericunderscores]

Yabba-dabba-that's fucking stupid.

[bronhi]

I didn't think it could get better but then WHAM two people on it! hahahaha

[shurcooL]

Wow, a lot of people here have their sarcasm-detector broken.

[SerpentBlack1126]

LOLOLOLOL

EPIC FAIL

[leodungen]

this idea is like inventing a solar powered flashlight... what a moron

[doomsauce1]

why not just ride a bike?

[madsli]

Why not just run?

[Xunkun]

As opposed to, y'know, running.

Shit, isn't liposuction cheaper?!

[eunion]

this fails miserably...

defeats the purpose of a treadmill.

how would you even turn? who would even agree to run behind you?

[SuperStingray]

What's the point of making a machine that moves forward when you run? Isn't that what running is for?

[V2Blast]

More than the stupidity of this invention, I'd like to remark on how terrible this is as an advertisement of anything.

[soulbrotha63]

"Let's ride...with the family down the street...

Through the...courtesy of Fred's two feet..."

[Battleloser]

Finally someone addresses the issue of stationary treadmills.

[chadillac83]

wow thank you... that was the best laugh I've had in a while.

[HeeeyItsMachitu]

LMFAO

[TomDLux]

It isn't street legal unless it has brakes.

[Krieger91]

Kinda defeats the purpose of a treadmill

[darktoster]

Why not just run there. You'd have better steering and you can stop if you get tired... Or maybe that's why it sells.

[glaked23]

Fail. People get on a treadmill for a reason you know.

[saltima]

when will we see the stationary bike version of this?

[boomer4666]

LOL

[grumbada]

Ridiculous.... Save your money and just JOG!!

This is pretty great. Super cheesy music, though. I love you, Reddit.
