India's Talent Shows Are A Bloody, Concussed, Brick-Smashing Good Time (Video)

This Thanksgiving weekend, be thankful for the Internet. Only in the web era would those of us without access to Indian television be able to witness the bloody, brain-damaged wonder than is the Indian reality talent show circuit. Let me just say that this video is probably the most adjective-worthy video I’ve seen in ages. Pure brick-smashing carnage, this one.

I’ll try not to ruin it for you, but let me assure you that every time there’s a lull (isn’t it odd how short our attention spans are when it comes to YouTube), this puppy comes roaring back with a vengeance. Let me just point out a few things: First, fluorescent lights release pretty absurdly poisonous gas when you smash them. Second, if you’re going to have someone drive over you, you should make sure they know how to drive so they don’t get stuck doing a burnout on your chest. Third, I love how the judges gets increasingly frightened and sick as the segment goes on. And finally, the highlight for me is at 6:16 when a bloodied guy is so obviously concussed that he can’t even figure out how a water bottle works. Pure brilliance.
