The Gizmodo Water Gun Battlemodo Royale: Our Slo-Mo Trailer
Posted by Adam Frucci at 5:00 AM on June 24, 2008
This past Saturday, Matt, Benny, Summer Intern Dan, Wilson and I gathered at Wilson's idyllic upstate New York home to test out five of this summer's top water guns via an epic battle. The results and full testing breakdown will be coming later this week, but here's a little taste of what water guns, a slo-mo camera, and a whole lot of beer will produce on a hot summer's day. Stay tuned, and please control yourselves in comments; I know how homoerotic this video is. You're welcome, readers!

This would be far less homo-erotic, if, instead of showing close shots of geeky white guy being sprayed in the face it were hot chicks. Just saying.

@Mike918: "..they were just 4 guys on a HOT saturday having fun with water guns..."
Indeed.

After watching that, along with the sound, i had to go into the bathroom and rip off a good portion of my chest hair.
Next time, include a few females in nice white t-shirts.

You people are perverts...they were just 4 guys on a HOT saturday having fun with water guns...but if you start to think what happened after they stop recording then...
Funny if you watch it in a non sexual context, otherwise..is disturbing :P

@ColdAsIce: A slip in slide might be just a disturbing in slow motion. Just image a big fat guy comming down one. I bet a slo-mo camera would record his gut wrinkling and jiggling quite nicely.

You should try other childhood toys (slip and slide, etc) and see if they are as disturbing in slow motion.

Anyone remember that disastrous "daily facials" campaign by Oli of Olaz?
This was so much better.
Thanks guys, that probably was a lot of fun.

Remember these?

Those were some bitchin' water guns. Although, as I recall, once water made its way to the battery compartment, you were basically screwed.

Please tell me that you loaded at least one of those guns up with a tank of beer.

Honestly, I don't have the proper words to describe how that made me feel... With the right tint that water could look perfectly yellow.
And with those wide smiles as the liquid hit, good god....
I felt like I was watching queer as folk....
And yes, who did that slow gun pumping technique? What did you guys all do together afterward all wet?
*Whose idea was this???* Who did the video editing???
Entertaining, but yes...a bit um...scandalous?

But the one for undeeroos with the little 8 little boys dancing in their underware was *really* disturbing. I wanna how many child molestation charges the director has against him....

Not to put too fine a Freudian point on the cigar, but everyone knows that men subconsciously compensate for their perceived inadequacies of their sexual equipment by buying bigger and bigger guns.
All this demonstrates is that men who perceive themselves as having flow issues compensate by buying bigger water rifles with which they can engage in watersports, thus compensating for their flow inadequacies and fulfilling their sexual fetishes in what appears to be harmless fun.
At normal speed, we might agree with the participants that the worst Jungian interpretation is that the participants wish they could recapture the strong flow of their youth or before the prostate infection beset them. But when it is filmed in slow motion, we can all see their inner Freudian desires - to be on the receiving end of the big gun.
As a gay man in SF, my verdict: Yeah, totally gay. Totally watersports. The sort of thing you would like to see at Folsom Street Fair and never do. The only thing you could have done better was wear assless chaps.
Which totally begs the question: What the hell have you young guys been doing to get prostatitis at your age?
Great work, Frooch!
