• Some idiot lights his pants on fire.

This week’s pick is yet another fine selection of the “random dork sits alone in his/her room, sets up a camera and does something stupid with the hopes of becoming the next Numa Numa Guy” variety. The poor fellow in this brief clip decides it will be a hoot to light his crotch on fire and then smother the flames with his shirt (assuming he did, in fact, plan that far ahead). Little did our portly friend realize that jeans doused in lighter fluid do not extinguish as easily as a match does. What ensues is basically a frantic, 20-second-long display of utter desperation that can most closely be described as a “truffle shuffle” for those familiar with The Goonies. Repeated viewings encouraged.
