What are the best videos of people getting hit in the nuts?

February 11, 2022 12:48 PM

Can you please share with me some of the greatest videos of people getting bonked in the bits? NOT in a kink way (god bless), and not in a disturbing way — in an “America’s Funniest Home Videos” or “Jackass” way. The more obscure the video, the better! (This is part of a gift for a friend. Yes, I saw the skiing guy.)

Wait ... Are you a TV producer, secretly making "Ow! My Balls!"?

Please tell me no, I don't want to be in the Idiocracy timeline anymore...

How about a Durex commercial?

Best answer: The unfortunate cricket player who got hit in the nuts twice in a row.

Response by poster: (Sadly I am not making "Ow! My Balls!" Though I am making surprise balls. My friend doesn't want "stuff" but definitely loooooves funny videos of people getting hit in the crotchola, so his surprise ball is just going to have paper squares with QR codes for all these videos. I think he will indeed be surprised!)

Don’t have time to search now, but there was a painful one in the 1987 or 1988 World Series. (Or playoffs maybe?) Guy hit the ball back to the pitcher right in the left nut, IIRC. (I was the only girl in a college lounge with a bunch of guys, and they grabbed themselves in pain. Then they showed a slow-motion replay, which made it worse.)

Best answer: D'oh you said you've seen skiing guy. I will redeem myself with this football play.

Best answer: I mean, my favorite from the Jackass series is the one where that culminates in dropping billiard balls off a building directly onto each other's crotches. Cup Test

PinkBike has a weekly compilation of mountain bike crashes called “Friday Fails.” It’s required viewing at my shop. Many of these include bits getting bashed.
