I don't have any idea what this even is.
Surprisingly, all of the YouTube comments on this video in the past couple of hours have been nothing but thoughtful and full of respect. Or the exact opposite. (Thanks for the tip, Edith and Katie.)

WHERE IS YOUR GOD NOW?
Score = 7
My God is still there. He just grew up too fast but is still basically an immature little boy whose voice hasn't changed yet. He wears a striped shirt to match his other striped shirt-wearing friends. My God's name is Tucker Max jr.

Apparently MY god was hiding in a cardboard box in the attic.

I guess I'm glad he didn't plummet to his death. But after seeing all these YouTube and Wife Swap videos, I'm not really glad he's alive. I think it would be best for all involved if he was never born. Does that balloon have a flux capacitor?

He said "faggots".
Get in the balloon, kid.
