pretty sure it's just a house of alcoholics. the carrying back up them in the last clip was a wild move though

u/SolidDoctor 9d ago

I find it entertaining that a group of people living in a house who get so drunk they can't ascend/descend stairs, would put up a camera to document their inebriated ineptitude.

Instead of buying a railing.

u/mebrasshand 9d ago

Or some pants

403

u/AlanWardrobe 9d ago

Why is nobody wearing any pants?

251

u/Icanthearforshit 9d ago

Let's not get hung up on the wrong things.

156

u/redthump 8d ago

I wear pants specifically so I don't get hung up on the wrong things.

u/LameBMX 8d ago

u/hyperspacezaddy 9d ago

Thank you for the very thorough laugh.

u/CrownedHeads 7d ago

My god I’m high and laughing my ass off

u/OnceUponACrimeScene 4d ago

I am not high but laughing like a hyena

2

u/NervousAddie 8d ago

Let’s not get caught up on the thong wrings either.

24

u/kirby056 8d ago

Finns? Kalsarikännit ("pants drunk") is part of their national cultural identity, and it's basically getting drunk at your house in your underwear.

2

u/honestabefroman 7d ago

How has nobody ever told me this????

BRB, off to Finland, don't wait up.

u/frammelpie 9d ago

Who's got time to buy pants when there's alcohol to purchase?

1

u/PrizeEnthusiasm3418 5d ago

But don't you have to wear pants to go out and purchase the alcohol?

1

u/frammelpie 4d ago

Walmart delivery 🍻

6

u/scuzzle-butt 8d ago

Who wears pants at home?

2

u/WonkyWalkingWizard 9d ago

Louis C.K. burned them all

3

u/2M4D 9d ago

Why should they wear pants ?

1

u/TorpleFunder 7d ago

Who are you? The pants police?

169

u/martialar 9d ago

I'm afraid they'd somehow strangle themselves if they tried to put on pants

59

u/IStubbedMyToeOnASock 9d ago

This is the catastrophe.

4

u/Rich-Canary1279 9d ago

Or some shirts, or closed toed shoes. A lot of road rashes could be avoided if they were wearing proper safety gear!

2

u/badgerj 9d ago

Pants are over rated! 🤣🤣🤣

2

u/SoupieLC 9d ago

Pants cost extra

133

u/GhOsT_wRiTeR_XVI 9d ago

A railing? In this economy?!?

54

u/s1ckopsycho 9d ago

Many people make a great living from a railing.

15

u/waytosoon 9d ago

I walked into that toom and said WOW! That's a great railing. Nobody makes as good of a living as that railing.

1

u/SnooPets8972 8d ago

😂😂🤣

3

u/EffortTemporary6389 8d ago

A railing would cut too deeply into their booze budget.

1

u/PrizeEnthusiasm3418 5d ago

I was thinking the same. How dare people think that we have the money to purchase a freaking railing for some stairs. We have more important things to buy!

38

u/Eymrich 9d ago

They probably broke the railing multiple times

118

u/Chickenpoopohmy 9d ago

Bet there USED to be one, we see now why there isn’t one there now ;)

141

u/Bladelink 9d ago

That dude bowled over an entire refrigerator like it was a thing to do. A little piece of shit railing wouldn't last 5 minutes.

32

u/El_Douglador 9d ago

Based on the other one's reaction, that must be where they keep the vodka

23

u/emmadilemma 9d ago

I thought it was a refrigerator too but on second and third look it was just a cabinet.

11

u/randynumbergenerator 9d ago

Filming and posting this is how they'll afford the railing... orrr they'll just blow it on more vodka 

4

u/PrivilegeCheckmate 9d ago

Do you have any idea how many vodka bottles a railing costs?

1

u/mwilkens 8d ago

About the same as a camera??

3

u/capodecina2 9d ago

Then they would just be leaning all day.

3

u/Funkeydote 8d ago

We don't like good ideas around here.

2

u/Hooddub1 9d ago

Or make it a ramp

2

u/Lego_Architect 9d ago

This is how they plan on funding the railing.

106

u/twoshovels 9d ago

If I remember correctly they are drunk Russians.

82

u/beaushaw 9d ago

What percent of r/WTF can be explained with "drunk Russians"?

11

u/ShannieD 8d ago

Every percent.

2

u/Sher5e 8d ago

That sounds like a drink 🤣

6

u/Oso_Furioso 9d ago

Is there another kind?

2

u/Embarrassed_Band_512 8d ago

that's a little redundant, innit?

1

u/Classic_Ganache_6137 8d ago

Yes this is correct. These clips have been a PSA for not drinking and stair climbing/descending for a bit now.

1

u/Ordinary_Cattle 8d ago

I love how I can automatically tell that this is a Russian video. Everything about this screams Russian but I can't actually put my finger on what exactly about this is Russian

1

u/dottegirl59 8d ago

It all makes sense now

134

u/ChuvstvoIumora 9d ago edited 9d ago

Looks like some trash-streamers, you can hear the donationalerts voice

edit: found out it was a reality show, not much change :)

66

u/chamy1039 9d ago

How I knew they were Russian before I knew they’re Russian.

3

u/BankshotMcG 8d ago

Same. I was like "I don't know a lot, but I know these are Russians with substance problems."

3

u/lefiath 9d ago

Drinking vodka at early age makes your head more rectangular.

1

u/DerKeksinator 4d ago

Sounds about right, seems to be like big brother but with more vodka. I won't lie, I'd watch it.

3

u/relic1882 9d ago

A friend of mine got drunk when we were in high school when he visited someone else's place. He tried to convince me that it was a lot of fun and one of the things he said that was fun was they fell down the steps. This is why I don't get drunk.

2

u/gunawa 9d ago

Just to solve hangover accusations, I assume. my question is why don't they put up a big railing for🤬sakes

2

u/StainedTeabag 9d ago

Russians

2

u/onist 9d ago

The camera is surely an evil nephew doing. That's definitely what I would do

2

u/SolidDoctor 9d ago

And they have two cameras, one on each side! (Unless someone moved the camera for the second perspective.)

1

u/houVanHaring 9d ago

I think i remember an old post that it was a reality show

1

u/eustrabirbeonne 9d ago

Russian Big Brother

1

u/jjjjjunit 9d ago

More like their inbred ineptitude

1

u/mabirm 9d ago

Halfway house

1

u/NoLipsForAnybody 9d ago

I think there's a lot more than alcohol being consumed here.

1

u/optom 9d ago

TWO cameras!

1

u/TurnkeyLurker 9d ago

I tried to say "inebriated ineptitude" and now I think I'm drunk.

1

u/laddergoatperp 9d ago

inebriated ineptitude.

Can't remember the last time I learned a new word and you just taught me two!

1

u/aykay55 8d ago

I’m going to give them the benefit of the doubt that the house is built on an angle

1

u/SolidDoctor 8d ago

I was thinking, maybe they're on a boat in the ocean.

1

u/Zentienty 6d ago

This was beautifully worded

0

u/Whywouldanyonedothat 9d ago

Maybe they have insurance and send a live feed to the insurance company so they can mail them compensation after each incident without them having to actually apply for it.

473

u/IAmDiabeticus 9d ago

That's the typical Russian halfway house

162

u/MaddingtonBear 9d ago

More like fifth-way.

11

u/BraindeadKnucklehead 9d ago

Ow, my sides!

2

u/TurnkeyLurker 9d ago

Ow, my balls!

2

u/PrivilegeCheckmate 9d ago

You gotta watch them stairs, mate.

38

u/amazingbollweevil 9d ago

Half way to where, exactly?

30

u/Neat-Land-4310 9d ago

Halfway to Liver failure

2

u/KELVALL 8d ago

You should see the full way house.

66

u/hatecriminal 9d ago

Not Russian. No Adidas seen.

107

u/fullcircle052 9d ago

Do you wear your Sunday best when you're just relaxing and drinking at home?

31

u/hatecriminal 9d ago

Sometimes. I'm usually trying to send the kids next door to my in-laws so I can wear nothing and chase my wife.

9

u/Waiting4The3nd 8d ago

Did you just refer to your birthday suit as your "Sunday best"? Wild.

6

u/hatecriminal 8d ago

We have 6 kids, the missus likes it.

4

u/horaceinkling 9d ago

Lmaoooo Sunday best

5

u/jalapen-yobusiness 9d ago

There is at least one pair of adidas slides in the video, so definitely confirmed Russian

2

u/NervousAddie 8d ago

Nor has anyone the flexibility to do a full squat while smoking.

4

u/Specialist_Post_1248 9d ago

happy cake day

1

u/Capt1an_Cl0ck 8d ago

My thoughts exactly.

1

u/Kiboune 8d ago

Why did you think so?

-1

u/AdvertisingUsed6562 9d ago

Looks like a USA flag in the other room (0:03) aswell as the words "workshop" so somewhere English speaking i'd assume. GJ with your racism.

3

u/Voyevoda101 8d ago

Russians aren't a race.

Your assumption is also wrong. Here's a camera angle of that room. If you can't tell by the slurring, they are in fact speaking russian.

57

u/heyyou11 9d ago

Was that left arm broken? Looks like lower/forearm is moving completely independently from the upper arm, but it's hard to tell as it's only the last couple frames.

29

u/LittleBitOfAction 9d ago

Might be lol doesn’t look right at all and is the first thing the guy looked at and addressed. 🤣 this video is so random too. Bro almost suplexed his ass

15

u/GoodLeftUndone 9d ago

Of course it doesn’t look right at all. It was his left arm!

32

u/spudddly 9d ago

Otherwise known as Russia.

0

u/roccala 9d ago

I don't know I feel like Russians can handle their vodka better than this.

2

u/MrMgP 9d ago

Lol you've never seen a gopnik party

2

u/Ridethecrash 9d ago

I figured it was a hostel 🤷

2

u/thegreatbrah 9d ago

Yep. Everyone is shitcanned. I thought maybe the stairs were uneven in size or something, but as the video went on, it became more obvious that everyone was drunk. 

2

u/I-STATE-FACTS 9d ago

It’s almost as if you should make a place for impaired people more safe. Not less.

2

u/marino1310 9d ago

Ike the one at :55 where they take a single careful step and then just go ragdoll

2

u/CHAIR0RPIAN 9d ago

Yeah I was watching it like "I don't think the stairs are the problem here....these people are all fucked up on something" lol funny though

2

u/RedOctober13 9d ago

This was my diagnosis as well. Not that a stair railing wouldn't help, but if you can't even stand up, stairs probably aren't your friend.

2

u/Pirat 9d ago

Well, yeah, they do look drunk. But stairs that steep should be gone up and down like a ladder (facing the steps) and put a gorram handrail/guardrail up!

Also, why is there a camera mounted to catch all the mayhem?

2

u/OsamaBinnDabbin 8d ago

Okay, that was my first thought, however my second thought is this is on a boat or something and the waves on throwing people off balance, we just don't see that because the camera moves with the boat.

2

u/CosgraveSilkweaver 8d ago

That and shitty stairs. First there is no railing, then they're thin stairs, next they're pretty steep, and finally the first stair is nearly recessed under the edge of the landing.

1

u/BaconGristle 9d ago

You're not giving them enough credit. This is a crack team of Inception specialists conducting training while asleep in the back of a van. Their driver is an alcoholic.

1

u/H2Ofire 9d ago

I already knew it was coming but still got a good laugh from it

1

u/LATABOM 9d ago

I dont see enough bottles. Id guess solvent abuse.

1

u/Rivster79 9d ago

Aka a house in Russia.

1

u/ProblemLongjumping12 9d ago

Trap house. Everybody high AF.

1

u/MrBorden 9d ago

Correct. The sandals also don't help.

1

u/Slorgasm 9d ago

That’s actually kinda sad ☹️

1

u/Least_or_Greatest1 9d ago

Is it alcohol or meth?

1

u/LAMBKING 9d ago

My first thought was, "How drunk/high are these people?"

1

u/Generichero1 9d ago

First thing that popped into my mind was "from the top step!"

1

u/thelanai 9d ago

With stairs that are not up to code

1

u/TheGummiVenusDeMilo 9d ago

Pretty confident that there is more than alcohol going on.

1

u/DrOrpheus3 8d ago

It's a house full of RuZZians, so they're born alcoholic.

1

u/AccomplishedCow665 8d ago

Meth gonna meth

1

u/BadMachina 8d ago

The last clip. I’m still crying

1

u/FeelingFloor2083 8d ago

yea this is my first thought, but I also suspect they are made too steep and the step looks pretty shallow, kinda like a ladder more then steps

1

u/OBDreams 8d ago

wow, yes lol. It's so clear now.

1

u/HERMANNATOR85 8d ago

Russians are crazy

u/semperfi1798 8d ago

I dunno, could be a spooky alcoholic ghost

Are they on a moving ship, high seas ...wtf
