Flip flops

So there were the strutting guys. And there was the maniacal naked guy (whose video was removed, but someone uploaded another one of the same incident). I now present wasted flip flop guy...

Funniest video I've seen in a quite a while. When he lost both flip flops I was laughing.

Why pay all that money and then not remember the show? Just do acid in your basements people!

The loathsome human refuse that stand around and film, photograph, and treat these pathetic individual's embarrassing behavior as a spectator sport are worse than the subjects themselves.

Credit to the one passerby for at least trying to kick this character's sandal towards him.

It's pretty easy to see where this kind of compassion comes from - it's always the other guy's problem:

HAHAHAHA. Almost as funny as the video of the drunk guy on the beach who can't figure out why he can't put on his "shirt" (because they're his pants).

And rdf needs to lighten up seeing as the vast majority of these people are having the time of their lives and nothing bad will come of it at all.

Why doesn't anyone find this type of voyeurism sad? Why aren't people asking," why didn't anyone help him or any of the other out of control people at these shows"? It's really not that funny to watch cops physically abusing people or to see young people getting too high, wasted and completely lost without any of their peers willing to help them. BROOKLYN VEGAN you should know better than to spread this type of apathy and twisted sadistic off kilter humor. Why is it any different than cruelty to animals and indifference to injustice to any living thing? There is no irony in this other than the demise of youth culture and eventuality of us not giving a shit about anything.

collateral murder? sure dude, it's just like that.

Holy shit. This is a great video. I love the guy that tries to help him and push the sandal towards him. Before people start harping about how messed up it is that someone videotapes this and watches it for amusement (like the williamsburg falling on ice video which was a little fucked up), a few things should be realized. This guy entered Coachella, a festival that is being filmed from every possible angle and I'm sure had disclaimers posted. He was fucked up at his own accord and would probably laugh at this too. If not he has learned his lesson. However, he is pretty nondescript, hat and sunglasses, so there is no ramifications on this affecting his personal life, maybe. If so, he shouldn't be this fucked up by himself at COACHELLA.

I agree with the people above who believe it is wrong to film this in first place, and then post it so people can laugh (especially without the guys permission)
however I did love 1 thing about this video and that was hearing the Specials in the background.

Posted by Renee | April 20, 2010 10:47 PM

BTW the backpack was totally fucking things up for him.

Posted by anonymous2 | April 20, 2010 10:47 PM

jeez.. its just some drunk dude at a festival.... its not like they were filming some homeless people and making fun of them... I'm not saying that there aren't a lot of twisted people out there who lack empathy but save your outrage for a real cause...

People comparing laughing at a drunk guy who can't put his shoes on for a minute to people torturing animals and bombing civilians need to get some SERIOUS perspective.

Posted by Anonymous | April 20, 2010 10:56 PM

the guy will probably laugh when he sees the video. he decided to take drugs in public. it's funny. anyone that doesn't think so needs to lighten up!

Posted by Anonymous | April 20, 2010 11:03 PM

You're absolutely right, 9:38 - Mr. Flip-flop and Naked Guy are obviously having the "times of their lives." Just think how much MORE fun they'll have sharing their humiliation with the world for the rest of their lives as these videos circulate! The day will come when you'll need a hand up, or at the very least hope to be spared further embarrassment by those around you - let's hope it works out better for you.

9:58 - excellent point. Apparently BV's compassion doesn't extend to humans.

...and finally, 10:24 -reducing others to targets (even of derision), and then casually dismissing the consequences as "their fault"? It's EXACTLY like that...dude.

Man, even a video featuring some douche being a douche brings out the blubbering vaginas to the comments section. This group can't agree on anything.

^ A (very lonely) man's man...and dick.

Posted by rdf | April 20, 2010 11:09 PM

anyone who takes offense to this video has probably never done acid, because those of us who have are in part laughing at ourselves.

Posted by Anonymous | April 20, 2010 11:20 PM

Boring. When are WAVVES and Rosie going on?

Posted by Anonymous | April 20, 2010 11:22 PM

Those who are offended by this video are blowing it way out of proportion. The dude in the video is not in trouble and he's not going to have his life ruined. It's funny and that's all there is to it.

Posted by Anonymous | April 20, 2010 11:23 PM

rdf- you don't think it is his fault for being that fucked up at 2pm on Friday of a 3 day festival?

Face it, we live in a world where everyone's phone has a fucking video camera. You have to expect that when you are at a giant music festival, that even has signs up everywhere saying that this is being filmed, there might be ramifications for your behavior. Also, this guy might not even realize he is out on the internets or ever realize it for that matter.

Posted by anonymous2 | April 20, 2010 11:23 PM

You people need to relax (looking at you rdf).....And not sure how you exquate murder to filming a drunk guy at a festival, that seemed to be having no less....And in no immediate danger of an apache helicopter attack.

i've been this guy and i think that gives me the right to laugh at this video. it wouldn't be nearly as funny if i hadn't been in his flipflops myself.

"1,000 Ways to Die," Thursday, 6:00pm, on SPIKE.

Posted by rdf | April 21, 2010 12:16 AM

I'm with 10:56. Are you fucking kidding me with the comparisons to animal cruelty videos and so forth? This dude was mangled and we live in a tech-forward, immediate gratification society. If you aren't capable of handling your shit in public, you deserve to have your asinine actions documented and circulated. If this guy was so unaware of his surroundings and completely incapable of doing something like putting his goddamn flip flops on, why should I feel bad for him? Gimme a break. It's called slapstick comedy, lighten the fuck up. Nobody or nothing got hurt here, except maybe the dude's pride when he saw this dumb ass clip of himself fumbling around like a drunken idiot.

Abu Ghraib for the lulz!

Are you sure Jay-Z wasn't there selling crack?

Posted by rdf | April 21, 2010 12:49 AM

So many pots and kettles wondering who is blacker!

Budd Dwyer for the lulz!

Posted by rdf | April 21, 2010 2:06 AM

LOL - HELP HIM? Why the hell would I do that? I'm at a 3 day train wreck music festival- he's an adult and chose to do whatever he did - he seemed happy - confused yes, but gleeful nonetheless (once he succeeded in his task). If you don't people watch when 75,000 people from all walks of life are trotting around you, maybe you should do some acid and be a little more open to enjoying your surroundings and not treating hilarious debauchery with such dismal distress.

he's wasted. he can't get his flip flops on. it's hilarious.

take a chill pill... or any pill. breath. i was filming rape, hate, murder or preaching.

Posted by StankShag | April 21, 2010 2:18 AM

ahAHAHh - I mean i WASN'T filming those awful things...

still recovering from the festival myself. pardons all around folks.

Posted by stankshag | April 21, 2010 2:20 AM

Thank you for your contribution to a better world, StankShag - Mom and Dad must be incredibly proud. TMZ awaits...

i think the video of beyonce and jayz is sadder imo

rdf IS the "wasted flip flop guy", case solved.

Posted by Anonymous | April 21, 2010 11:18 AM

i'm pretty sure that the video above is meant to be an homage to this drunk flip flop video - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8KuwpPmJR58

and if its not well at least we know that drunken flip flop issues are a worldwide problem.

He could be having a reaction to medicine or some kind of diabetic attack.

That said, he IS wearing fucking flip flops to a concert and as a total weenie he deserves whatever he gets.
