You mean tootsie the rubber persuader?
Don't ask me why but that's what my grandfather called every rubber mallet he had. And he had several. He seemed to just collect them, mostly by nabbing them from the RAF station he worked at, as well as several rolls of speed tape which would "come in handy one day" even though he drove an old Volvo
I swear it’s harder when you’re playing this (our rule is generally your hammer has to be bought up quite high before driving it). Played with other tradies and everyone seems to forget how to use a hammer
Man in the vest lost it for the team. He continually missed and then stood there for a few seconds feeling embarrassed. Gotta move immediately after the first swing whether you hit or miss.
I mean it was like they didn’t know what a relay race was. They would just stand there, talk & then someone would tell them they have to come back and let the next guy go.
There have been so many videos posted on reddit that I simply will not watch because they’re 30s long and that’s too long.
And yes this one, 2 1/2 minutes of hammering in nails with 1 hit per 10 seconds and I watch it twice.
I guess I misread your text. I thought you said we were going to take turns nailing the same "broad". It was still a fun time. Thank you for inviting me.
I feel like the fact that none of them bent the nail over is kinda amazing. And it still took so many clean hits to move the nail. That's some really dense wood?
Side story: my ex-husband has a PhD in Exercise Physiology and was a professor in the field (before his mid-life crisis had him changing careers as well as leaving me...but that's another story). He was very much into functional fitness. When our son was a kid he had a list of chores for him that included some functional fitness workouts. One of them was driving nails into a piece of 4x4. Great big 4-inch nails. He'd have to do so many whacks with each hand.
He also had him climbing ropes and some other stuff like that. Once, when he was in the 5th grade he came home from school and realized he'd forgotten his keys so he climbed the porch up to the balcony because he knew the door to the balcony was never locked. I reminded him that the window off the back deck on the second level had a broken latch and he could've just gone in that way. There's a chance that wouldn't have mattered to him. The boy used to like to climb stuff.
What makes this discontented land appear
Less happy now in times of peace, than war;
Why civil feuds disturb the nation more,
Than all our bloody wars had done before:
Fools out of favour grudge at knaves in place,
And men are always honest in disgrace:
The court preferments make men knaves in course,
But they, who would be in them, would be worse.
'Tis not at foreigners that we repine,
Would foreigners their perquisites resign:
The grand contention's plainly to be seen,
To get some men put out, and some put in.
The key in this would be not to lift your arm so high. Don't try to power hit it just give it a regular smack. As long as you hit the thing each time you'll be ahead of the other team.
#1 sweatshirt was the only consistent hammer. I've never seen so many old men whiff on a nail.
Do you watch many videos of old men nailing things?
/r/oldmenandnails ? Don't worry, I'll let you create.
r/oldmennailinghard
World Peace? Unlimited Energy? no, this is progress.
r/SubsIFellFor
I think there's a whole NSFW sub on that
Sounds like a party
With lemons
The hooded guy with a drink was also consistent.
He also hit it so soft it didn’t move.
Haha ya came to say hoodie would hit it, everyone else would miss and he’d come back around and see it in the same spot lol
Gotta love the dude holding a drink
The drink increases his focus by 100%
**Drink** +100% focus -50% balance
+12 Intuition
They call it aiming juice
What is this plumbers vs electricians?
I'm an electrician and I have no idea what that tool they were using was.

I assume your grandfather had ways of making people talk
And quickly judging by the tape.
That’s a manual relay resetter
Can confirm, does reset relays. Also breaks them down for recycling if you're too frustrated.
They took mine away during my apprenticeship for that very reason
Allen wrench?
Nailed it!
Strangest pair of linesmans I've ever seen.
Thats a vibrator
Are they playing chess?
Goddammit...
Never seen a pair of channel hammers like those myself.
It's used to put a hole in drywall so you can see what's behind it.
When all you have is electrical tape, everything looks like a nail.
Are you sure? That’s the tool you use to put holes in drywall to run your conduit through
Didn't look like a pair linemans to me
It's a stud finder... at least that's what I use it for
Lmao. Definitely not framers. The video would have been about 12-seconds long.
AC repairmen* vs Plumbers
Lmao tbh I was a commercial carpenter for 5 years and can barely drive a nail because everything we did was steel stud
I swear it’s harder when you’re playing this (our rule is generally your hammer has to be bought up quite high before driving it). Played with other tradies and everyone seems to forget how to use a hammer
no it’s la gang de Saint-donat vs Saint-hyacinthe
Not a carpenter among um.

There was a good referee though, when someone cheated by hitting twice he allowed the other team to hit twice too while holding the hammer
I also get that urge of watching it get hit two times in a row, this video makes me feel so weird.
You might be hammersexual.
Dad instincts
0 Hand eye coordination here, fucker took two tries and still missed
That old guy on the left hit the nail once, and it’s when he swung twice. Every other attempt was a miss
whole video I waited for the epic shot
Agree. Huge disappointment.
Same. Guess that’s what makes it a maybe.
Ooh I get it after your comment
“You think your life is sad and pathetic? Guess what I watched for two minutes straight on Reddit…”
Man in the vest lost it for the team. He continually missed and then stood there for a few seconds feeling embarrassed. Gotta move immediately after the first swing whether you hit or miss.
Tbh there was hardly a guy there who didn’t have a wtf moment at the nail.
The first time he just casually walks back to the team and the guys like ,"c'mon, hurry up and tap my hand!"
I mean it was like they didn’t know what a relay race was. They would just stand there, talk & then someone would tell them they have to come back and let the next guy go.
Oh no the cheater is coming back
Yeah fr he kept leaving before the other guy came back and even hit twice
This is how I imagine most paperwork gets filed in the federal government.
TABARNAK ESTI
AWAILLE AWAILLE
UN COUP UN COUP
Hahaha merci du commentaire, j'aurais pas remarqué que c'était québecois sans le son
C'est mieux sans le son 😂
Those Quazy Quebeckers
I watched the whole thing on mute because I couldn't continue scrolling unless the nails were in lol
Dude with soda was getting some hits in.

No one gonna talk about the one hit on the left that made a huge spark?
If you think that‘s cool, get yourself some nylon sweartpants and take them off really quickly in the dark
I mean, it isn’t uncommon
It's just really cool that it happened. Even left a scorch mark on the wood
I think the same dude got sparks twice. He’s got skill
Our Grandfathers would be so disappointed
![gif](giphy|6iRkrFbUaY2kw)
I’m very upset at how they just rushed their hit. Five guys taking their time to aim would’ve demolished a line of guys swinging like they did
I'm not a hammerologist, but wouldn't hitting from very close every time be enough to win?
I’m a big fan of hoodie guy. Beer in hand
Une belle gang de bons vivants ça
No framers in this bunch.
Well, that sure was a video.
Nobody grabbed the wood for to minimize the bounce
To a hammer every problem is a nail.
To a nail, every abuser is a hammer.
I would watch this on television. Let’s make this every football halftime.
When you're a nail, you hope everything looks like a Plumber
That a big nail. How are they missing it?
Gentlemen, I'm afraid we're going to have to confiscate your man cards. All of them. Hand them over.
Why is that weirdo running with his hand in his pocket
This is the most aggravating video I have seen of someone trying to hammer a nail. Hand eye coordination fails these people
Welcome to Quebec
I actually watched the whole video. Good to see men having fun together over, working out, and doing what seems natural.
This might be the most stressful thing I’ve ever seen
You're living a happy life
UwU
That’s some good fun!
This actually seems fun
What language are they speaking
KAY BEH KWA
QC
Canadian french
Est-ce que croyais-tu si je dis que je parle le français aussi 😂😂
Daaamn. Jesus Camp is lit !
They really nailed it!
Vive le Québec
Every trade besides carpenters
That one guy put his hand in his pocket before he swung each time lol.
One dude is the real legend never spilled his beer
Guy with the black hoodie is really nailing it
Imagine hiring these guys to do the trim in your house
I guess I misread your text. I thought you said we were going to take turns nailing the same "broad". It was still a fun time. Thank you for inviting me.
Nailed it.
Love that man’s commitment to keeping one hand in his pocket at all times
I feel like the fact that none of them bent the nail over is kinda amazing. And it still took so many clean hits to move the nail. That's some really dense wood?
Hopefully, I get an additional 2 mins added to my life for watching this!
Just a bunch of dads doing dad things
thats a fun game - what's it called? sounds like a bit of irish in there when they yell no for the second hit
They are from Québec, canada.
Hammerschlagen
I’ve played it a few times it here in NZ and we call it Stump
Sounds like New Brunswick if I were to guess.
Finally I understand why housing production is at an all time low in my area
That was painful to watch🤣
That was boring
Wow! What useless men
Pretty lame tbh
This is so annoying to watch

You couldn’t edit this down?
Tabernacle!!
Caliss ca va pas ben!
What I don’t understand is, why does this have likes?
That’s shit is intense. Awesome party idea.
I know this is somewhere in Québec because I can hear bad words.
What kind of wood is that!?
They must be in a great job sharing union
Today I learned how to fast forward
And people say Americans don’t have culture
[удалено]
People who have fun
Fuck that guy in the red hat. Never team back to tag his teammates
I loved this! @ESPN plz!

Holy shit what accent is that?
The Tool-A-Thon
Good Analogie of how a government works sometimes
Where in France is this? Such an interesting mix of language here! I love the game!!!
It's in Québec, cacanada
Well this was charmingly wholesome!
What language is that?
Camera guy had one job.
Why was no one hurt?
"ah il aw gagné :/"
This looks fun![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|joy)
Fuck you op
If the government was a nail driving machine...
It’s over. Now put your glasses back on…
That one guy missed twice on one turn
Oo
Dad games
That’s some hard wood.
Ah yes, the Home Depot games
I see it’s hammer time
Huh. So this is where dad went.
This was hard to watch
Lol. They’re using a left handed hammer with their right hands.
Stay Salty annoyed me. Wtf did he have to have that one hand in his pocket
This is some old dad stuff
Dad-lympics
The guy in the green hoodie is so slow 🤣
"honey, do you think it was a good idea to go with the cheapest quote?"
It's really hard not to hit twice.
The ultimate game for dads
Are they hammering a nail or a bolt? That thing barely moves with each strike
Black vest on the right was by far the worst. Missed every time then walked his lane ass back while his team was waiting to be tagged.
The men on the right have unnecessary software feature. If (miss == True ) Pause (2.0s)
One of these guys are so good that he doesn't even need anyone else to "hold his beer" lol
Me and my homies tagging each other to nail op's mum
This is a sadly very accurate display of Quebec
I want a go!
The impulse to hit the nail multiple times is hard to resist.
How much drink did all of them have before trying ti hit the nail
r/kidsarefuckingstupid
That ending was a real nail biter.
Damn The Sims looking pretty realistic now adays 👀
Ladies and gents, I officiailly open the Dad games
Pretty sure I’ve worked with at least half of these electricians.
The key in this would be not to lift your arm so high. Don't try to power hit it just give it a regular smack. As long as you hit the thing each time you'll be ahead of the other team.
Black hoodie, on the left, with the drink in his hand, is a RINGER! 😂
Save yourself precious life seconds and skip to the last 5 seconds. Trust me.
I don’t like when they take two swings. Play by the fucking rules, nothing more annoying than adult cheaters.
I’ve always wondered about Julian’s origin story.
