Both have been nominated by me for Navel Academy Video Awards!

I dare you not to laugh! :D


I've seen those second two before. Don't know who's worse--the poor fools who got stuck, or the jerk who videotapes them and makes rude comments the whole time instead of trying to help them out.

In one of those, it looks like they just hit a slimy ramp in a 2WD truck and couldn't pull out. Could've happened to a lot of people.

In the first video it is a mini van and they aren't having troubles pulling out, they are launching a boat without entering the water far enough to float the boat.

In the end they tie the boat to the dock, and drive the van out from under it. This was their second or third try, the first time they broke off a piece of the dock off, so I don't think the mini van was having traction problems.

You could tie a 4x4 to the pier, and it too would have a hard time pulling itself and the pier up the ramp.

You do have to give them all credit for never getting upset, or loosing their cool. How do you say it “Ignorance is Bliss”.
