I'm not trying to be needlessly controversial, but the guy doesn't look especially wealthy; and clearly he's not too bright. Rather than being enraged by his ignorance, I'd rather think about the circumstances that led him to make this decision.

It would be one thing if he did it with the intention of wasting the time of the emergency services, but that was never his goal. If anything, they tried not to get anyone else involved. His friends tried to get his head out for an hour before calling in the big guns.

I'm sure some people will roll their eyes at this post, but I'd rather save my righteous indignation for people who prank call 999, or otherwise deliberately go out of their way to waste firefighters' time.

Yep, that's a dude who got stuck in a microwave.

the mixture of terror and humor this makes me feel has left me an inability to form an appropriate reaction.

I really don't get the microwave when they had a perfectly good mixing bucket that they could've used instead. Also, would've been far easier to remove.

Yes, yes, I can understand most questions can be answered by 'they're idiots' but still.

Honestly the firefighters should have been dicks, and recommended him for psychiatric evaluation and a 48 hour hold.

I understand being upset for wasting emergency services time that could have been needed elsewhere for doing something this stupid, but really did none of you do stupid shit when you were younger that you look back now and think "that was stupid of me?"

It's part of growing up, hopefully he'll learn from this (as well as the other people).

How come he got out so easily once the microwave came off though? I figured they would have to chisel away that shit before he could get the bag off of his head

Maybe I led a boring childhood but no I never did anything remotely comparable to this stupid.

My feeling as well. Although the fact that they were and are making cash off it does make me that they are wankers.

You could be right, but I don't see why it would go viral. It's not particularly interesting or funny, it's just stupid
You're in a thread talking all about it, so...

I'm guessing the concrete wasn't really thick enough to have much strength against being moved sideways. The microwave was limiting how much the concrete could be moved, which made it, well, concrete. Once the microwave was gone, it'd basically start crumbling without support.

this is what we get for beating evolution

you get to live 22 years and still be dumb enough to cement your head into a microwave

society and agriculture were a mistake

That super long breathing tube was the stupidest thing. He was going to be rebreathing the same air over and over unless he cut it much shorter or kept calm and took deep breaths.

I've done some dumb shit before, but I've never cemented my head inside a microwave. Thats a completely different level of stupid that I didn't even know existed.

This level of fuckery is something I'd expect out of someone much younger...not a damn 22 year old.

I generally find it in poor taste to shit on people like this, but only when they actually die from it. It's why I absolutely hate the idea behind the Darwin Awards. But this guy's alive, so I got no problem calling him an idiot.

"encasing the part of you that breathes in cement" is close enough to suicide that my response is more like "this guy needs mental health care."

WELP. Egg on the face, that's breakfast!

He's definitely not an impoverished dummy. But I stand by the innocent intentions thing, unless it's revealed that calling the fire department was always the plan.
I don't think anybody is saying he did it to intentionally waste the emergency services time (if someone did I stand corrected) but by doing something incredibly stupid just for some youtube clicks he inadvertently wasted the very precious time of the emergency people that could be used in situations of actual importance, so yes he is a gigantic moron, fuck him and his youtube channel.
