Yes, a knock in the meat and two veg does bring about a big wave of gut-wrenching pain, but this dude was a HUGE crybaby.

And what's with two dudes having a pillow fight? That alone is worth raising an eyebrow...

kev wees over the side of the boat, i have to wee in a bucket , not a pretty sight !

well, really it's more like someone ripping your abdomen open, grabbing your intestines and yanking them out, stabbing them repeatedly with a steak knife, dousing them in sulfuric acid, then dousing them with gasoline, THEN setting them on fire. plus there's the indignation of someone having attacked your ability to reproduce. I think a more appropriate emotion would have been , rather than

oh contrare mon frere. giving birth doesn't hold a candle to getting a swift kick to the balls. imagine that little bundle of joy govered with rusty spoons doing somersaults in your guts for a few minutes. but-and i think i speak for all men when i say this- the worst part is the waiting. you see, it doesn't hurt immediately. we have about 6 seconds to think to ourselves:'hey, maybe it won't hurt this ti- oh dear sweet mother of jesus...', and then fall over and potentially puke our brains out.

but no self-respecting man would ever CRY about it. although the shot to the face then to the lower region was pretty nice.

Oh, please. Don't even TRY to compare a kick in the balls to giving birth. Have you not seen a woman give birth??? Not even considering the hours upon hours of labor and thats before the hours of pushing before a bowling ball size head comes out of a pinball sized hole.

Wait until your wife has kids and I bet you change your mind.

i am happily single and will quite probably remain so. so, no kids for moi, thank god.

Ah, just wait. There will be someone just for you and you'll fall head over heels in love. And then you'll want to have lots of little Tacos.

don't even joke like that. i'm already in love, but relationships just ruin things. besides; do you REALLY want a bunch of Tacos running about?

You are comparing a marathon to a sprint.

Childbirth is waves and waves of pain concluding with some serious stretching and finally relief. It can be the worst pain some women go through but others don't have that much trouble. The thing about it is, at the end you have a baby so you get a reward.

Being cracked in the gonads as a male is a whole different ball of wax. It is excruciating agony closer to what being shot would feel like. If you are hit hard enough you collapse on the ground and are unable to stand. You can throw up just from the pain (although I know some women who have tossed their cookies in labour too). However, it fades after a while and although you may continue to feel twinges for days or even a week or more, nothing is like the initial WHACK.

There is another factor, too. Women seem to have some built-in pain limiter when it comes to labour. Not the pain that they go through in the moment, but how they remember it later - they seem to forget how bad it was. A guy NEVER forgets having his nuts badly crushed.

So, summing up - labour - less intense but much more drawn out, hours or longer pain but a nice result at the end. Pucked in the balls, short term pain lasts less than an hour but is extremely intense and cannot be relieved except by waiting - and there isn't any reward at the end except that the pain stops.

At the moment no one on earth can experience both to make a comparison, so you can't conclusively say one is "worse". I can tell you, however, that since I have caught both of our homebirthed kids which my wife did with no anaesthetic of any kind, I've had as close an understanding of the pain she went through as possible. In no way was what she went through anywhere near as intense as the times I was hit with a hockey puck or a baseball to the crotch, but she went through 48 hours of on and off labour with our son. I wouldn't want anyone walking up to be twice an hour and poking me in the berries with a stick (even lightly) for two straight days.

All in all, though, this takes nothing away from the fact that the guy in this video is a major wuss.

Oh yeah, I wanted to say one other thing... babies heads are NOT the size of bowling balls, even if you are talking 5-pin - they are made to squeeze through that space. A vagina is also specifically designed to accomodate that stretch by being prepared for birth with hormones released in the body and natural endorphins.

Testicles are NOT designed to be crushed, squeezed or otherwise mangled. They are NOT built to adapt to the situation other than being dangled loose to allow a little "getting out of the way" instead of coming to a sudden stop on impact.Your body does not spend weeks preparing you to cope with being hit in the crotch. Looking back on what you said now, I would have to say you have absolutely NO idea what it feels like since you have tried to minimize how bad it is.

You are taking a joke between Tacoman and me waaaaay too seriously. Nobody(at least not me) needs a man to explain childbirth and the meaning of testicles to them with a thousand word essay.

Keep in mind this is a humor site and everything on here is to be taken with a grain of salt.

By the way, my baby's head was the size of a bowling ball.

oh youve given birth then?

point to you, point to you. i have been found out. but still, it hurts.

i didnt mean to hurt taco, next time i ll be more gentle i promise!!

i meant getting hit in the nads, but ok.

double ouch!!!!!!
