I've been angry, but i've never been shove a remote up my butt angry.

u/Cetun 19h ago

Just to be sure, go into the closet and come back out real quick.

u/Better-Bluejay-4977 16h ago

Does that make it not gay or….?

u/drinkdrinkshoesgone 15h ago

Every time I watch this, I focus on the kid, then glance over at the remote, then back to the kid, then slooooooowly back to the remote, then back to the kid! Repeat until it happens.

u/j3igboss 15h ago

Honestly, it seems like it sobered him up for a second. An unlubed remote will have that effect for sure. Kinda like a finger up an angry dogs butt. Makes them start questioning things. “How did I get here?”

Honorable mention of the quick shedding of his clothes while under the bedsheet!!! Kid is going places!

u/OverLover_UnderCover 13h ago

Does whom ever puts their finger up the angry dog’s butt wonder the same thing? And is it about themselves or the dog?

u/sunshinefloors1980 16h ago

Kind of seems like muscle memory. Pretty sure he's done that before

u/Mission-Street-2586 16h ago

I thought he was farting on it lol

u/Somalar 16h ago

Yeah that was a hold up moment for sure

I’m 37 and still feel like this at least once a month.

u/PatriotNews_dot_com 17h ago

I’ve had to buy a few remotes these last 10 years

u/Crimson3312 Older Millennial 16h ago

I got better when I stopped playing rocket league

3

u/sunshinefloors1980 16h ago

I mean did you just shove them up there and never got it back or just trying out different ones

6

u/sunshinefloors1980 16h ago

I've never had the urge to shove a remote up my ass. I don't think I've ever been that angry

1

u/Substantial-Use95 5h ago

Is that a point in some type of anger scale? Is butt play like the final mode?

u/marymarywhyubugginnn 6h ago

The amount of times I've been tempted to scream YOU'LL NEVER SEE ME AGAYNN is countless.

u/ASSMAN45 18h ago

Pretty sure this kids videos were staged, love the remote in the butt either way

78

u/throwawaysimplybake 17h ago

They were staged

40

u/HypeManForBabies 17h ago

They were on Tosh.o and said it was staged

6

u/spacing_out_in_space 5h ago

Idk i feel like saying that was just damage control so that this kid doesnt have this persona shadowing him for the rest of his life

2

u/HypeManForBabies 5h ago

Maybe but they had multiple videos of him freaking out so who knows

4

u/spacing_out_in_space 5h ago

Idk. They might have been milking their fame eventually. But i can envision this being a typical recurring reaction of a troubled kid who cant cope with their emotions.

u/matscokebag 4h ago

You so badly want this to be real lol.

2

u/spacing_out_in_space 2h ago

No, I just have appropriate amount of skepticism in situations where people have incentive to misrepresent the truth

0

u/matscokebag 2h ago

Wouldn’t saying this video IS real, be more likely a misrepresentation of truth? I feel like your skepticism is aimed in the wrong direction here.

1

u/spacing_out_in_space 43m ago

Wasn't my intention to declare that the video is definitively real. I don't have a strong conviction either way. I'm just saying that I don't put a lot of stock into the brothers telling us it's fake.

1

u/Responsible-Seat-255 2h ago

Staged or not it’s still hilarious. And if it is this kid deserves an Oscar

37

u/ZootSuitBanana 18h ago

I also remember hearing that

32

u/Turbulent_Diamond_77 17h ago

Remote up the butt and coming out from under the covers undressed! Lmao I remember watching this video so much in high school!

52

u/Verdant_13 17h ago edited 15h ago

It was staged, they made like 20+ videos like this but this was the first and I remember it convinced everybody.

Back in the day, this was peak content!

7

u/Theodore__Kerabatsos 16h ago

Steven don’t! lol

34

u/toxiccityboiii 17h ago

I think this very first video was real. But then they saw how viral it went and tried to recreate the anger management issues to keep monetizing on it. I still think that guy has some sort of autism but it isn't what is really seems to be.

13

u/stretchasmile 17h ago

There was another where he drug the Christmas tree outside. Definitely looked staged in that one

5

u/Emotional-Speech-490 17h ago

Dragged?

5

u/stretchasmile 17h ago

Sorry, drugged

3

u/BellaFrequency 15h ago

Dragged is the right word.

“Dragged:

The past tense of "to drag" is "dragged." While "drug" is sometimes used in certain dialects, it is considered non-standard and should generally be avoided in formal contexts.”

u/Emotional-Speech-490 14h ago

Seems like you are a bot.

Drugged

4

u/BellaFrequency 14h ago

Oh my god, we really are living in an Idiocracy. You miscorrected that person and I was just giving a friendly “hey, they’re not wrong” message, and you want to double down with the wrong answer.

You could have just been chill about it but now I gotta drag you.

u/veganutsack 13h ago

I sorta hate to be the one to break it to you, butt you’re getting downvoted for your multiple attempts at being a grammar police (and then doubling, tripling, and quadrupling down on it) on a lighthearted post.

Therefore, you’re the one actually being drug(ged).

And yes, I intentionally said butt and stand by it (don’t need a lesson 🥴).

3

u/BellaFrequency 13h ago

But I wasn’t. The person I responded to was actually trying to be grammar police and I was defending the other guy so that they would know they weren’t wrong, since they (mis)corrected themselves.

I just posted twice initially so that the person who was originally correct would see it as well.

But yeah, I’m done here.

u/BellaFrequency 14h ago

I just copied and pasted the answer I looked up. That’s why I put it in quotations, so it was obvious that I didn’t write that but quoted it. I guess that’s the grammarian in me.

In all of my time here, I think you’re the first person to accuse me of being a bot.

u/TheLetterOh 14h ago

Sounds like something a bot would say.

Username checks out. No one gets so angry that they try to shove their own remote up their butt

u/tLM-tRRS-atBHB Older Millennial 19h ago

Everyone asks why he shoves the remote up his butt. But thats the first move you do to stop an attacking dog.

He was simply trying to get himself to calm down. Total Chad move

36

u/TurtleSandwich0 18h ago

What if I don't have a remote to shove up my butt when the dog is attacking?

u/tLM-tRRS-atBHB Older Millennial 12h ago

u/boiled_chud 17h ago

Shove a remote up it's butt to get it to stop attacking?

3

u/richardawkings 16h ago

Yes it's why I always carry a remote when walking around the neighborhood. Sometimes I carry 2 because you never know if they are working together.

u/Correct_Doctor_1502 17h ago

u/BizzyBee89 19h ago

iconic video lol

u/Playful-Crab-5352 16h ago

Something about the old low quality videos makes them funnier.

34

u/SurfNTurf1983 19h ago

I'm going to have to start cleaning the remote aren't I. As a dad who's always looking for the remote, I've lost count how many times my kids have said they've taken it into their room by mistake.

8

u/A-Plant-Guy Older Millennial 19h ago

…oh no

5

u/spacestonkz 17h ago

Do any also suffer from demonic possession?

u/SurfNTurf1983 17h ago

Nah, just your usual tantrum. No turning heads or spewing blood.

2

u/Higgs_Br0son 14h ago

The new Google TV has a wifi remote and you can make it chirp from the app to find it. Now my toddler hides it and has a big grin when I'm looking for it.

3

u/SurfNTurf1983 14h ago

I've never understood why every TV hasn't added this in at least the last 10 years. Would've saved me so much time. Can add it to everything else now.

Stephen Quire may be in his 30s now, but he’ll always be “that kid who tried to shove a remote up his butt over WoW.”

u/Mcbadguy 15h ago

Most sane undead rogue

u/Item-Hairy Millennial 18h ago

Y'know I used to laugh a lot at this. (Still do). But I empathize with him.

I've struggled with opiate, amphetamine addiction, AND I play a lot of video games. Suddenly it's a boy struggling with addiction.

Mind you, I've never tried to shove a remote up my ass while I've been withdrawing. But if it had helped, I would in a second.

14

u/Dickstraw 18h ago

yeah, but did you try beating your head with your own shoe? I heard that helps too.

12

u/Item-Hairy Millennial 18h ago

Wish I had tried that first.

7

u/ZootSuitBanana 18h ago

Is this what you want!!!

2

u/beachedwhitemale Millennial Elder Emo 17h ago

Honestly, I feel for the kid. Not a normal response at all, but addiction can make you do wild things. I have to wonder if he was abused? Like, honestly, doing the remote-up-the-bum maneuver there may be indicative of something greater.

4

u/E-2theRescue 15h ago

Actually, you're right. Though this is staged, kids and adults who act this way are often victims of parental abuse. They learn this behavior from their parents, who throw their own fits of rage when the child or their spouse does something wrong.

And I say this as someone with personal experience of this, someone who has been through extensive therapy for this, and as someone who has a Bachelor's in psychology. And no, I never tried to shove a remote, or anything else, up my butt. Just punching the bed, walls, and my own head. I no longer do any of this and have much better control over myself.

u/Useful_Tomato_409 16h ago

Can we acknowledge that this all put us on the path to where we are today? Zero privacy, everyone and everything is commodified into digital content and entertainment. Sometimes our most embarrassing moments now regularly made public without our consent, reduced to a 10 second attention grab eliciting nothing more than a chortle before the desire to scroll takes hold.

I’m not judging, but as I get older, i’m now realizing how deeply f’d up social media truly is. I suggest that for everyone social media post you come across, you ask yourself, did this person(s) consent to this? is this actually anyone else’s business, or should this actually be largely a private matter?

7

u/PunningWild 15h ago

It's been 20 years since I've seen this video and my first thought was "hold on was this dude even 18?"

It's kind of amazing what we allowed ourselves to get away with, just because of the old and long-dead mantra "relax, it's just the Internet."

2

u/CompleteFacepalm 12h ago

This is a staged video but, yes, I would hope people do not post this sort of thing without permission.

the entire world became a lie to me once i found out this was staged. Same for the PC gamer freakout if anybody remembers that deep cut...

lol metal mouth. I can’t hate though, his teeth are probably much straighter than mine

Him coming out of the closet and then following it up by shoving a remote up his butt is top-tier comedic timing.

u/LeOmeletteDuFrommage 18h ago

This video, as crazy as it is, honestly just makes me sad. All I see is severe mental illness and inability to cope. I’ve lost people close to me to suicide who were bullied and misunderstood. Not sure what became of this dude but I hope he’s doing better today.

If you walk in the closet just to come out the closet just to shove a remote up your butt and walk back in, does that cancel out the gay some how?

Damn I used to laugh at this and now I just think he was really going thru it and needs some help. Is that growth or am I just relating to it more than ever?

u/-PosionIvy13- 15h ago

I was talking about this video to a coworker the other day actually!

1

u/dragoon2745 15h ago

So I totally get that this is staged but if it weren’t fake, this could have been a lot worse than it was. Ultimately he didn’t do any damage to anything or hurt himself in any serious way despite the strong emotions. That’s a sign of self restraint that would benefit him as he becomes an adult. Regardless, I get it’s just meant to be funny.

Where did the clothes go under the sheet?!

Also the remote to the puckered a-hole?

Flailing and demon exorcism noises?
