COOL.
Those teeth . . .
@Smart People Play Tuba
DAT TOOTH
All of this fighting between brothers over who gets to marry cousin Annabel... tisk tisk.
@APV
Damn Hillbillies
@Smart People Play Tuba
I have to say, I think that the music wasn't really the best choice... now "Dueling Banjos", on the other hand, woulda fit the whole thing perfectly....
;)
Epic... Just So Epic!
Please let the mythbusters do a bit on this
@yankees368 That's the first thing I thought of, too!
Who will get the flamethrower? Adam or Jamie?
Definitely Jamie. If Adam got it, he'd go crazy and burn up the shop messing with it before they ever got to the test part.
@Smart People Play Tuba
Jamie owns a Vietnam war-era flamethrower... so I bet they've already done it. What kind of testing other than just doing it could you imagine though? Small scale? There's not a lot to this.
Are y'all serious? A flame thrower would rip through any fire extinguisher exhaust. It wouldn't be any type of contest.
Totally badass.
Awesome.
Epic.
Beast.
And all the other words to describe this video, BECAUSE IT FUCKING ROCKS.
Can't watch these videos with the Android "prog"
@TangoEchoXray +1 from the iPhone users

Hit up the source link for vimeo, works great for me

@TangoEchoXray
Same here. The page crashes the browser.
Bad teeth FTL
@icepop77 TOOTH'S!
They should visit the dentist sometime soon
That there be awesome.
Damned rednecks
@Diggler
I though they were British.
I am just kidding I love British people and American people and many more peoples.
@Diggler Why exactly does it matter? Are you telling me that you aren't itching to try this now or wouldn't have tried it if you saw a flame thrower next to a fire extinguisher. I would do it just to see what would happen.
LOLWTF!!!! look at the guyz face at 3:09
Are they British or hillbillies? The teeth make it hard to tell.
@Sp4rky Rednecks. See the clothing and vehicles as a reference.
Wow, that's some serious slow mo. Incredible.
Very cool. But they couldn't have picked uglier actors with the exception of the dog.
The screengrab was better than the video.....
So...something shot on a pretty interesting camera is just a regular blurb on alt.engadget, but Justin Bieber on a Segway is breaking news on the main site?
*sigh*
@kevout - If you keep using his name, it gives him power.
"Korn's "Freak on a Leash," Smashing Pumpkin's "Tonight, Tonight" and Michael / Janet Jackson's "Scream" come to mind when thinking of stunning music videos"
really? what year where you born?
@daewootech Before the internet trolls were born.
@daewootech my guess is early- to mid-80's. Probably '83-'84.
Sorry but flame thrower would win.
Ahhh rednecks. What would the world be like without em?
That was less exciting than I thought it would be. When they collide, its basically just a darker grey cloud with an orange tint. How revolutionary.
Thanks Darren Murph, that vimeo channel is full of epic stuff.
OMGWTFBBQ!?!?!?!?
I'm not sure if both the flamethrower and the fire extinguisher have the ability to "shoot" thta far, especially the extringuisher, I dont now, but it's hard to believe that the dust or anything it uses can travel that far keeping its course and all that stuff
Look at that face! Look at those teeth!
The sight of those hicks will haunt my dreams forever.
am I the only one who had this thought running thru my head while watching this:
KAAA-MEEEEE-HAAAAA-.........
In the epic battle between flame and extinguisher...UGLY wins.
