Of all things that could happen, this didn’t pop up on my radar

[–]Valex_Nihilist 2871 points2872 points  (67 children)

Yea. Definitely was not expecting that lmao

[–]ziggy_dev 2597 points2598 points  (57 children)

It's a reversed video. This is a 3D TV.

    Oh shit, your right! There's no glare and you can see it's cut uneven at the top!

    BREAKING NEWS: Marvel Comics Villain Bullseye begins posting trick shot videos to Reddit

    It’s just a staged cardboard tv look alike.

    [–][deleted] 32 points33 points  (2 children)

    That would be even more impressive in reverse.

    [–]wannabezen2 171 points172 points  (89 children)

    But he must have known that it would happen. TV must have been on the fritz already?

    [–]Wounded_Hand 87 points88 points  (78 children)

    Why must he have known?

    [–]wannabezen2 215 points216 points  (57 children)

    People that throw cards like that have practice. I saw a video once that showed someone doing this. IIRC he was doing it into a watermelon and/or drywall. I know my way around a deck of cards or two and I couldn't do this.

    [–]buttholeismyfavword 103 points104 points  (18 children)

    My xhusband once flicked a card at me and it wedged between my glasses lense and the frame.

    [–]wannabezen2 43 points44 points  (11 children)

    Holy crap! Was it intentional? The weirdest thing that happened to me was at a home poker game. I was dealing and went to pitch across the table. The card caught some air, turned and came down and lodged between the tiny crack in the table where you pull it out to add an extension.

    [–]buttholeismyfavword 100 points101 points  (0 children)

    No he was just being a dick and flicking cards at me lol we were both surprised

    [–]Flomo420 85 points86 points  (6 children)

    Not cards but I once blew the paper straw wrapper directly at my friend's face who was sitting across from me.

    Well the wrapper just missed the side of his face, went around the back of his head, and managed to lodge itself into his opposite ear, sticking straight out to the side lol

    That was about 20 years ago but I will never forget the moment of pause, and us all just sort of staring at eachother in disbelief before the four of us just exploded out in laughter

    Good times lol

    [–]Ragnarok314159 27 points28 points  (0 children)

    Your story reminded me of something that happened back in the late 90’s. My buddies and I were all hanging out at a greasy spoon, enjoying our high school weekends.

    Buddy A learned how to shoot a snot rocket and kept showing off his nostrils. Buddy B, getting sick of it, shot the paper wrapper at A’s face and went right in his nose, just dangled there.

    We laughed for the next hour over that.

    [–]TemporalGrid 48 points49 points  (20 children)

    This has 3rd rate Batman villain potential.

    [–]pincus1 35 points36 points  (8 children)

    X-Men already did it.

    [–]maho87 23 points24 points  (3 children)

    True. But with X-men it's a mutant with supernatural abilities, while as a Batman villain, it's probably just some guy with OCD who thinks he has to flick a card through poison ivy's buttcrack or else his mom will die. I'd read the story of Billy the Ace of Farts over Gambit any day.

    [–]Darth_Nibbles 20 points21 points  (5 children)

    Better than Calendar Man

    [–]kcg5 17 points18 points  (1 child)

    I dabble in card magic, and there are a few different ways to throw cards, I think the guy you’re referring to kind of used an overhand motion, almost like throwing a baseball? I’ve never seen anyone do what the guy did above

    [–]WarKiel 82 points83 points  (5 children)

    Why else would they film themselves throwing a card at a TV screen?

    [–]Shopworn_Soul 62 points63 points  (5 children)

    The install looks institutional, like a hotel or a hospital.

    Gonna guess he just didn't care because it isn't his TV.

    [–]ColeSloth 68 points69 points  (28 children)

    Don't believe everything you see. The vids fake. It didn't pop up on your radar because that couldn't actually happen.

    The year is 2030. Bakery art is so realistic, literally anything could be cake. The uncertainty has gripped the world with fear. I go to hug my wife for comfort. She is cake.

    [–]FingersMahoney 60 points61 points  (5 children)

    Gonna get a little real: my wife left, not divorced, a few days ago....the fact that I made a few of you giggle is dope. Thank you. That boost is gonna make my day a bit better.

      Imagine your origin story is just sitting around tossing cards when suddenly you just obliterate your television

      [–][deleted] 45 points46 points  (6 children)

      That's me only replace 'cards' with 'sausage' and 'television' with 'ass'

      Imagine your origin story is just sitting around tossing sausage when suddenly you just obliterate your ass.

      [–][deleted] 83 points84 points  (13 children)

      Wasn't Gambit's power making anything he touches into a time bomb and he used playing cards because they're cheap, you get a lot of them, and they're easy to throw and also fun to fiddle around with?

      [–]Nuclear_Winterfell 87 points88 points  (4 children)

      Yeah, he can charge whatever he has with kinetic energy and use it the same way. He spat a wad of gum through somebody's head once.

      [–][deleted] 23 points24 points  (3 children)

      Damn that's hardcore. "Hey you ever spat on someone so hard that they died? I have."

      [–]princessParking 15 points16 points  (4 children)

      Yes. But I think he used special metal cards or something because they regularly stick into everything he throws them at.

      [–]bluesheep210 1291 points1292 points  (112 children)

      Is there like a name to this throwing technique? Kinda want to learn it.

      [–]Silver_Smurfer 165 points166 points  (33 children)

      Look up videos on how to pitch cards. This is similar to how card dealers deal.

      [–]Typical_Notice6083 107 points108 points  (23 children)

      It is really hard i have been doing it for three months when I study or chill around house and now every like maybe 5th throw would be successful and not strong as this guy.I have been training with apples and peaches and destroyed three decks of cards.

      Maybe I am retarded and someone can do this on instance but for me it ain’t easy like in videos

      [–][deleted] 61 points62 points  (1 child)

      He’s probably practised this about 1080 times more than you

      [–]BeefHazard 29 points30 points  (0 children)

      At least your TV can now display 1080 more lines than his

      [–]Burpmeister 43 points44 points  (8 children)

      Could be using plastic cards. I have a deck and they have more weight and sharper edges on the cards.

      [–]Typical_Notice6083 15 points16 points  (1 child)

      I also use plastic cards but it also bents from force,depends of how raw is fruit…sometimes apple is hard and it bents edges,next time I use it it doesn’t stick

      [–]Recuring_joke 19 points20 points  (2 children)

      yeah I've learned many other throwing techniques but none this powerful.

      [–]pacman404 16 points17 points  (1 child)

      That card has both the properties of bungee and gun

      Gun? Yo I didn't know he reworked bungee gum to bungee gun

      [–]xXYomoXx 347 points348 points  (59 children)

      Yeah I realized it's a fake TV, but it's still very impressive the way he threw it (at least for me)

      [–]pizzapresident 188 points189 points  (25 children)

      What do you mean “fake TV”?

      Cardboard tv used in furniture stores for reference

      [–]sidepart 85 points86 points  (5 children)

      Used to love those as a kid for some reason. Odd because there were probably only a couple times I was ever dragged off to a furniture store as a kid.

      Some of them were quite detailed plastic and cardboard replicas.

      [–]PM_me_your_whatevah 49 points50 points  (1 child)

      IKEA has a lot of cool stuff like that. Fake game consoles and stuff if I remember correctly.

      [–][deleted] 35 points36 points  (5 children)

      Do those usually have a power cord too?

      [–]No-Seaworthiness7013 76 points77 points  (1 child)

      Not hard to stick a cable to a piece of cardboard. Easier than flicking cardboard into a TV.

      [–]pizzapresident 31 points32 points  (0 children)

      Ohhhhhhh

      [–]lanabi 54 points55 points  (2 children)

      I don’t know if it’s fake, but you agreeing with the parent comment is an inconsistency.

      Liquid Crystal Displays (LCDs) are very common for TVs and all kinds of other displays.

      [–]gamesrebel123 25 points26 points  (1 child)

      Weird the TV is unplugged. That is convenient

      [–]UpperCardiologist523 224 points225 points  (27 children)

      Yeah, i was thinking that too. Styrofoam plate in front of the screen? Sounds like it as well.

      [–]zordtk 69 points70 points  (14 children)

      The whole screen looks weird. Looks like its thicker than the bezel at the top

      [–]hates_stupid_people 83 points84 points  (6 children)

      It's one of those fake TVs you see in furniture store displays.

      So it's made of cardboard, foamboard, or similar.

      [–]Eltrew2000 39 points40 points  (3 children)

      Looks like it , that's not how a screen reflects

      [–]CrackGear 111 points112 points  (51 children)

      that's literally impossible to happen, styrofoam in front of the screen

      [–][deleted] 32 points33 points  (17 children)

      Traditional literally or modern literally?

      [–]Kale3e 95 points96 points  (20 children)

      You really think a card could do that to and actual TV?

      [–]piecat 36 points37 points  (9 children)

      Not at that speed. Trickery is afoot somewhere.

      However, momentum is mass*Velocity. Tiny things going really fast can cause damage. For example, bullets. Even specs of sand can cause significant damage at sufficient speed, this is especially a problem for spacecrafts.
