Dumb. I really wanted it to be funny, but couldn't find any humor in it at all.

How many idiots has Johnny Knoxville created in this world? You know what I'm talking about.

"Bat-like reflexes" he does not have.

(There have been documented cases where bats were able to literally fly through spinning fans using their sonar to measure the distance.)

i was at a Caribbean resort some years ago and while putting a shirt over my head ran my hand into the fan blades. Hurt like an SOB and yes I felt pretty silly for doing it. Can't imagine why you would do it with your head.

There appears to have been a flaw in his thought process.

Yep, and lots of kids have been injured trying stupid stuff. I just don't get it either.

I laughed. I don't know why. Watching stupid people do stupid things usually doesn't amuse me.

No offense but I see enough stupidity every day - just on the highways alone - and don't need to see more of it....

Again....it is my opinion one day humans will wipe themselves off the planet with their stupidity.

Hugh R clearly was not on the production staff for this short film.

I'm a pretty tall guy, and my apartment has low ceilings. The first few months were hell on my hands....

Off camera breaking glass, but nothing came off the fan. He barely touched the blades. I used to stick my finger in the table fan all the time as a kid when the guards were more open. As long as you don't get the leading edge, it's like a card in bike spokes.

This azz really wanted to score a million view video but no cigar. Way stupid act and way stupid acting. I think for his next trick he should jump over a car coming right at him. That might be a little harder to fake.

True story, many years ago (Ok, not that long ago) I installed a ceiling fan in my office in the house. It had a long pull chain and a weight at the end of the chain (that I hadn't put on yet). I pulled the chain and let go, the chain popped up into the moving blades, and caught and the fan, which kept running and it unwound from the pole it was on in about two seconds and fell to the floor. I hadn't (yet) put the locking set screw into the the fan where the pole screwed into it either.
