Why are some supposedly heterosexual guys so keen to shove weird things up their butts?

The bit 20 seconds in amazes me. If I hit my friend in the face with a firework, my first reaction would be 'sh*t, I've killed him', not to laugh.

Then again, I'm just a liberal socialist Euro commie.

You'd think right?! My first thought watching that was oh sh*t too, then I hear the guy laughing and couldn't believe it.

I thought the dog running off with it was pretty funny though. In fact, I think that's the only one I laughed at, the rest I was cringing at.

Amazing. Agreed on the dog, tying a string of crackers to the guys ankle was awesome too.

But man, people are idiots

It was only luck that the dog grabbed it the way it did, it was almost cooked from the inside.

Very true!

I can't get over the reactions of some of the bystanders/friends who are laughing when the poor stupid fools get a firework to the face/nuts/arse!

I wept with laughter through almost all of it.

I think I'm a bad person.
