The guy at 1:30 gives new meaning to the phrase, "I would hit that."

Not that impressive.
I can do exactly the same things, but blind.

I am no gay yoga instructor, but I can imagine I would find this pretty hot if I were ;)

I think the Kipper Kids used to do some performance art where they would get in a boxing ring, and try to knock themselves out. So ya, two boxers in the ring punching themselves in the face. Just makes you go, oh wow, performance art, wow. http://www.kipperkids.com/

I think the underlying message being conveyed is DO NOT FUCK WITH SIKHS.

I’ve seen a couple of episodes of this show before (unfortunately, this show is in native language), but never expected this level of ape $#!t crazy! Now, I won’t be surprised if the next season of this show airs snuff film.

I found that so terrifying as to not be at all fun to watch.

Also: it’s all viral marketing for that car.

How are they going to top this with a follow-up act?

Mix of pop and movie songs on YouTube:

Kuch na kaho- achchi lagti ho (means you look good)
Imran Khan- Amplifier
Devdas- Hamesha tumko chaha (” I have always wanted you)
Atif Aslam- Tere bin (” without you)

That was fun. I’m surprised that woman wasn’t crying by the end of it.

So… does anyone know where to get some good Indian music? I’ve liked it for awhile, but don’t really know what to look for.

Teen lakh, yes of course that’s three. Don’t know what I mustve been thinking. I’m relieved i didn’t hear it as tees lakh.

I would visit every internet cafe on the planet to vote to keep them coming back each week. I’d quit my job to vote around the clock!

She is saying that they shouldn't be called warriors of Goja, but warriors of INDIA. She says that they have conquered our hearts as well as this title and special appreciation and THREE LAKHS OF RUPEES !!! Three lakhs = 300,000 = maybe $5,000. To be fair, the annual per capita income in northern India is about Rs. 33,000, so the money could maintain all of them a year (provided they don't do any more shows, they seem to be using a lot of expensive stuff). Thank you, zefuture!

Just because you have learned to suppress pain (be it by desensitization or medication) doesn’t mean stunts like these aren’t gonna do any less damage to your body.
It’s just gonna take you a few years to realize what you’ve done.
But, I guess, in the meantime, everybody can enjoy the show…

Color me naive, but I would suspect these people of being trained professionals. Don’t try this at home, kids.

That was one hell of a performance. I found myself with the same expression as the lady judge. But I just kept thinking about the mercury that was in all that white dust. I know I would not want to be anywhere near that stage.

Nothing more fun than watching people risk their health and their life for your entertainment.
Wait a few years, until people in the U.S. will be similarly desperate for a few thousand bucks, and we’ll have the same shows here.
Good times ahead…

true, but when they fail to smash the cinder block a lot of force is transferred through the person. I once knocked a guy out doing a cinder block on the head act- we chose a stronger grade of cinder block then usual and it didn’t break on the first swing. Watching these guys was terrifying

Yes, you are correct. Some of the stunts they were doing weren’t going so well, likely because they were having to rush to fit the act into their limited time slot. They aborted part of the car stunt since they were having trouble keeping the bricks from slipping. All this stuff takes training and a good sense of timing, in addition to huge balls.

I can’t watch the video right now, but wanted to say: isn’t there a long tradition of Indian hucksters who find clever ways to fake this kind of thing?

there really does need to be a show called “Who is the craziest fools on Earth?” hosted by Mr T.
