World's Best Freakout: A New Internet Classic

thumbnail icon: World's Best Freakout: A New Internet Classic

From the new video classics collection comes "World's Best Freakout," which took this weekend by storm with its tale of brotherly betrayal, deepest teenage despair, and, um, something weird involving a remote control. There are those who call it fake, but I like to think it's real. Also, this is an accurate portrayal of a teenage tantrum. Except for that remote control thing. This is what happens when you cancel your son's World Of Warcraft account:

This is a good video to save, so you can send it to people when you get bad news. (Thanks for the tips, Trevor and Taylor!)

yep. fake. sorry. he's a good actor (overzealous director Michael Bay shouldn't have directed it) but the set-up looks fake and a bit too convenient.

Def mad fake. Kengrats on not having any qualms about watching two dudes mess around with a video camera in underwear internet.

Aw, don't blame Bay just because Megan Fox is a vapid void.
There is a parallel, though.
I bet she has the same boxers this kid has, and has also used a remote control the same way.
For money.

What in the Hell did he try to do with that remote control at 1:12?

Golly. As much as I laughed aghast, I can't help but feel like the internet is making us all into a nation of Nelsons from "The Simpsons". A big patriotic "Ha Ha" to you, Mr. WoW freakout...

also, this is right up there with tv-throwing freakout from the room.

I usually can count on videogum, but not with this one. The video is obviously fake, and all you do is encourage more tarvs to make lame "virals" by posting it on here. But what is even more insulting is the video isn't even funny. Hey did you guys see that video of Bruno and Eminem? LOLZERCOPTER!

I woke up this morning with this feeling that today was going to be a good day. This video is that reason.
Also, this kid deserves props for stripping so while wrapped in a blanket. Even Nomi Malone didn't have such skill, and that bitch burns when she dances.

I live in a world where this video is real. The kid doesn't even glare at the camera, usually it's impossible to totally avoid contact with the camera. The jigsaw just fell perfectly into place! 5 stars!
