Shawn Layton doesn't come of like a BUISNESSMAN in this video.

notice his hand gesture at the start

 

[kingdoug87]

That wind would have made it cold. Nice work of them.

 

[dallow_bg]

C'mon, we want Vib Ribbon again!

 

[Freeman]

ND needs to make a Joel version of this.

 

[ArcaneFreeze]

yes, i know what it is. stop making it sound like you are typing from the middle of the Sahara desert bro

You do realize California is fining people doing the ice bucket challenge for wasting water. Im pretty sure what Warios post is refering too.

 

[sappyday]

Hey for those saying that they shouldn't do the ice bucket thing since trends are bad and being trendy isn't cool, should really try to go help out a charity they love and try to raise it over a million dollars just by only donating. The selfless act is the donation but the ice bucket is what's spreading this selfless act among a lot of others that wouldn't have done it otherwise.

 

[juicyfruitas]

Boyes needs to dump a bucket of ice cold Diet Coke on Drake

 

[Tomohawk]

Whys everyone so mad. Their spreading awareness and who knows they might have donated.

 

[7DollarHagane]

you've been beaten to this one-liner by about a dozen other wise guys

Shouldn't that tell you something?

Maybe you're the one being contrary just to be different and also coming off as a jerk.

You could say the thirst is real. Wow what a terrific audience.

 

[fluffydelusions]

Do the challenge and you could

No thanks already been banned lol

 

[figadapaura]

Shu pls

Nice to see PS get in on it as well regardless.

If people pay their utility bills, who the hell is the government to say what they do with the water they bought?

 

[sappyday]

Now's your turn nintendo.

I am not against a good cause so no need to take it personally or resort to name calling

I'll donate on the spot.

 

[JLeack]

I can't say I care for this guy very much. At least he did the challenge, though.

 

[ReturnOfTheRAT]

Sony too for getting in on this challenge.

 

[Sn4ke_911]

Best torture scene ever!

"I don't like those blue eyes of his... let's see...CUT OUT HIS EYES!"

Oh god he does the hand motions even in this video.

“Hopefully this fine will help raise even more awareness for suffering students that are learning English as a second language.” Thomas thought ESL, English As A Second Language, and ALS are the same thing.

 

[gai_shain]

The buckets aren't even full. I don't really see what the big deal is.

I wasnt saying that this was a bad thing to do, just that people shouldnt just think that this cant be a serious problem

 

[coolasj19]

This has gone beyond a misunderstood charity and flown straight into overdone meme territory.

You only say that because figures in the video game industry are doing it... Any exposure is good exposure.

Glad they wasted all that water during this draught

Hehe. My family wastes magnitudes more water watering their lawn than they used water in this video.

 

[halfbeast]

that dude has some really weird obsession with vib ribbon.

Did you actually stop to look at the source or story itself?

Spoiler

It's a satirical blog

I am happy because it may lead to parappa

You do realize California is fining people doing the ice bucket challenge for wasting water. Im pretty sure what Warios post is refering too.

Additionally, they should have done the ice bucket challenge over lawn rather than hard pavement as they did, since the new grounds state that you cannot have runoff, that's where the $500 comes from. Being nitpicky and all.

However, the article you're thinking of came from a satirical website, thus your whole point is mute.

 

[Creaking]

The silliness is why it works. Over $9 million raised in the past four weeks.

STOP DONATING TO A GOOD CAUSE GODDAMMIT!

 

[Kazuma Kiryu]

You understand why the spectacle is important, right? It raises awareness. Simply saying you donated to ALS research does not raise awareness at the rate doing something like this does. That's simply reality. I don't care if every corporate business leader started dancing like chickens, if it meant they attracted enough attention to raise a lot more money.

I think people don't even read the news regarding this whole ice challenge thing, and instead just whine about it and ignore the obvious benefits...

The extremely viral ALS Ice Bucket Challenge has led to record donations to the ALS Association, raising some $15.6 million in contributions to the group and and its national affiliates since July 29 — compared with less than $50,000 in the same period last year.

 

[Kris Pistofferson]

I'm not one to diss charity but why is ALS a fad all of a sudden? It's an enormously rare disease.

Kony 2014 is what I think.

 

[baekshi]

nvm. they look tiny. hand picked men.

 

[BeforeJam]

Glad they wasted all that water during this draught

Yep, no need for water when all this beer is around Mmm-mm-mmmmmm. Yeah, draught. Super dry, yet also a liquid.

 

[Zomba13]

A good cause doesnt have to be #trendy

Nope but it damn sure helps raise awareness. Which is the whole point of these things.

 

[Alex_Mexico]

3 years from now we will get that video as soon as Nintendo discovers the internet.

I admit I lol'd.

 

[sappyday]

It just caught on. I think it may also have to do with the fact that you have to nominate 3 people and the challenge itself is relatively harmless. This allows it to able to spread a lot more easily. It started out only in one region among the sports scene then it started to spread everywhere. Unfortunately, some are using this to exploit themselves by just doing the challenge and not naming the charity, and I don't doubt there are probably some that are pretending to have donated. but that's a problem with those type of people and not the challenge itself. The challenge has proven itself to be effective since it raised over 10 million dollars which is a huge spike from how much they received last year. That's all that should matter.

 

[Derp]

"Nice work Ratchet!"... Lol.

And now I feel like replaying the entire R&C series. Best games ever.

 

[halfbeast]

yeah, I thought him babbling about vib ribbon at E3 would go somewhere, but I guess he just fetishizes it in a weird I-collect-empty-beer-cans-kinda way.

 

[akidnamededdy]

The party responsible for treating the water, managing the delivery system, and making sure there's enough to meet industrial and agricultural usage needs. Obviously?

But hey it raises awareness! Because as we all know, you can pay for research, treatment, and medicine with fucking awareness now.

 

[jediyoshi]

This is such a weird amount of positive credit to give kony 2012, I'm not sure how to process it.

But hey it raises awareness! Because as we all know, you can pay for research, treatment, and medicine with fucking awareness now.

Please follow the end of this statement up with saying awareness is a zero sum game. Oh god please. I need to literally read you saying it's a net neutral outcome.

Awareness breeds donations.

 

[pompidu]

You can tell Ratchet didn't want to get fired, he made sure the water only went over Shawn Layton's shoulders and not his head.

The Ratchet mascot costume is super cute though. It looks like it would fit in at Disneyland.

Outfit probably doesnt let his arms go that high.
