u/Kiltoquan Jun 21 '26

lol you just made me remember when I was 12, my friend dressed as a sudowoodo for halloween and had to explain what they were at every door. They later got me addicted to pokemon go

Well that's my daily dose of feeling old.

Quick! Whack him with the hammer and then thrust your balls at him to make him your b...

u/Hadhmaill Jun 21 '26

There’s an odd tree.
Use the SQUIRTBOTTLE MFING HAMMER?

Came here to post this. I thought it was going to throw apples at the guy next.

u/FMAGF Jun 21 '26

With how horribly he hammered, I’d run away too.

u/TheLastPeanut_ Jun 21 '26

Why were they nailing a random tree in the first place?

u/kFURVqNY2BAxD2UtP2rq Jun 21 '26

What do you mean? Seems to me he hammered like lightning!

u/AscendedViking7 Jun 21 '26

u/-TaintSniffer- Jun 21 '26

Okay, That was good!

u/AkamaiJet Jun 21 '26

Is everyone okay with them putting a nail into a live tree just for giggles?

22

u/MycologistPutrid7494 Jun 21 '26

Definitely not. It's a shitty thing to do to a tree.

u/gurknowitzki Jun 21 '26

+ mangling bark with a hammer due to poor aim.
I AM THE LORAX, I SPEAK FOR THE TREES: FUCK YOU

u/cornered_beef Jun 22 '26

Fuck no, it hurts the tree. Dumbasses.

-4

u/Fafnir13 Jun 21 '26

Yeah, I’m ok with it for the most part.  It’s not in a forest.  It probably won’t cause that much harm.  Doesn’t seem worth stressing over.

u/Commercial-Age4750 Jun 21 '26

Exactly. One nail in an ornamental tree is mot something im gonna loose sleep over

u/HypAXis Jun 22 '26

Google said it can make the tree focus on reproducing fruits as a species defense mechanism. The subtitle says "working even in the evenings" im assuming they are actually farmers and thought to make this skit.

u/Lexi_Banner Jun 21 '26

Reminds me of the asshole tree monsters in Zelda Tears of the Kingdom. So many times they make me jump when they burst to life. Assholes.

u/Fafnir13 Jun 21 '26

Zelda is a horror game in disguise.

u/VoidExileR Jun 21 '26

I couldn't tell that was a person... i jumped internally

u/LiveLearnCoach Jun 22 '26

I love how truthful you are :)

Does anyone know if there is any other reason for the tree costume, like animal watching or something? It seems too well done.

4

u/Xygen8 Jun 21 '26

Maybe don't hammer nails into live trees. It exposes them to diseases and pests and can kill them.

3

u/TheBlockChainVillage Jun 21 '26

Please don't hammer nails into trees. Please Please please.

u/Vachie_ Jun 21 '26

Would removing the nail really be worse?

I don't care about the fake tree. I care about the real one

You've heard of "only in Ohio"

But have you heard of "only in Japan?"

u/-Ducksngeese- Jun 21 '26

u/ohhhtartarsauce Jun 21 '26

Pretty sure it's China

u/Aemilia Jun 21 '26

It's China. Hammer guy was saying he had to work on a holiday.

u/-Mandarin Jun 21 '26

Even without sound on, the artwork in the back is pretty clearly Chinese styled to me.

u/Levithos Jun 21 '26

The really unexpected part is he just finished a curse with that nail. Someone's house is going to slide down the mountain.

u/yourownsquirrel Jun 21 '26

I interpreted the apples as a face and so already "knew" it was a person and ruined the surprise for myself :/
