Are they neglecting to mention the Hollywood airbag here? I will consider changing my name to Alexei Roskov if not. Two five-story falls? Scratches? Ahem, no.

/made my wife read that one, lol

"I have no idea why I jumped the first time but when I came back up and I heard my wife screaming angrily at me I thought it was best if I left the room again - out of the window."

That is so win.

A good band name.

Not liking it is fine (it's a show that's got mixed reactions) but what's particularly pretentious about it? It's not like he's Ricky Gervais.

my mistake.

Thanks, guys, for allowing me to bear witness to, quite possibly, the lamest internet videos EVAR

the wankey background music with the crappy re-enactment of some guy who supposedly jumped off a 1st floor balcony 40 times (and told the narrator that it was his intention to jump 40 times!?!) - it's pretending to be real, when it's quite clearly a BS story (thus earning the pretentious remark, imo)

Best use of FAIL tag ever.

Thats hilarious and so wrong at the same time.

 
Control_this [TotalFark] 2009-04-12 08:12:42 AM  
I jumped out of a 10 story window once.

Landed on the balcony. 10 stories up.

Cool.. an Ananova article by proxy. Haven't seen those in a while.

I don't care who you are, that's just funny right there.

Vodka?

/Vodak

 
Reactron [TotalFark] 2009-04-12 08:33:19 AM  
Yes, but can he eat fifty eggs ?

 
Headso 2009-04-12 08:46:06 AM  
needs hero tag on the double!

 
Cauchy_Riemann_equations 2009-04-12 08:58:29 AM  
That's sad. Russia has a life expediency on par with a 3rd world country, mostly owing to rampant alcohol abuse.

Turkish: Boris the Blade, or Boris "the Bullet Dodger." As bent as the Soviet sickle, and as hard as the hammer that crosses it. Apparently, it's just impossible to kill the bastard.

Hero tag must have been at an easter egg hunt...

narcoleptic: Vodak

My thoughts exactly

He lives twice?

Jesus?


No, James Bond.

You know - you only live twice, and twice is the only way to live.

Sounds like that guy knows how to party.

Gotta love my people..
And yes, walking out of 5th story window is what we do to avoid the nagging spouse...

/FTW

 
Darkwing 2009-04-12 09:36:12 AM  
So, then six bottles of vodka total?

 
Mad-n-FL 2009-04-12 09:37:43 AM  
He lived through six bottles of Vodka?

Help-Im-Sober 2009-04-12 09:46:44 AM  
Nobody else thought the last part of the article was the most unbelievable?

Roskov says he is now 100-percent sober after giving up drinking, and added: "Now I can say just one thing - I was very lucky.

a russian giving up drinking? That he quit drinking that particular brand of vodak would be much more believable.

It's not claiming to be a real story; it's a comedy sketch not a CrimeWatch re-enactment. The music runs throughout the show, indeed that's the whole point of it.

He's my hero, other than being sober now.

Hero? Lucky? I say cursed. Some evil force wants him to be tortured be a nagging wife.

As they said on SNL last night, "I don't know what kind of vodka it was, but that should be the commercial right there."

 
Espin 2009-04-12 10:35:45 AM  
VODAK. Is there anything it can't do?

 
Russian_you 2009-04-12 10:48:19 AM  
Hmmm...
3- bottles of vodak drank.... check
Survived 2 5- story falls... check
Survived the nagging of a Russian woman... check

Where's the Hero tag?
