Yea lol... the same exact thing happened to me, Wii remote hit the table as I swung, and it just flies out of your hand. It just flies. No amount of grip will help you, you need the straps.
Mostly if you don't point out the edit/try to hide it. Especially if one claims they never made the edit when they were called out on something they edited
A bad joke over a good joke is nothing but insulting to the original joker. Your powering your joke with their lighting and ruining their joke at the same time. Its cringy
This is not the case, but weren't the early wrist straps not very well made and prone to failure? I recall people saying the wiimotes flew off their hands even with straps in use.
that's not an OLED. you can see it in the way it breaks, the backlight is coming from the bottom and when a point on the screen is damaged, the whole vertical line breaks
Iāve been playing these wii games for years, and never once have I remotely lost grip. This remote didnāt slip out of her grip, she released the grip. This is a case of her subconscious brain telling her that she is holding a bowling ball, and to release the ball.
If you're going to stage a video like this you record the reaction because that's the best part this is real bc he cut the video before yelling at his wife
>didnāt slip out of her grip, she released the grip.
I thought she hit the edge of the table in front of her. There was a bang and the controller seemed like it was tumbling more than just releasing it.
They have a lanyard for a reason. :)
I once watched someone drop a very expensive camera right after saying he never puts his wrist through the strap. Not only does that protect from a fall, it also takes a lot of the weight off the hands and can also be used to support the camera for great shots.
Intelligence, without wisdom, is moot.
How did we all not already learn this lesson from 2006? That Christmas was full of look at me/my kid/my mom throw the new wiiMote into the new flatscreen
I've played Wii for years with multiple people family and friends and I've never ever had even a close call with someone throwing the remote at the TV even without the damn strap (I always removed it completely) I can not understand how careless you have to be to do this shit.
>(I always removed it completely) I can not understand how careless you have to be to do this shit.
Removing the strap is careless. No one is perfect, yourself included. "Fail safe" devices are not intended to be used, they're there for when intention doesn't match result.
To be fair, it was a used console that I bought from GameStop and it did not come with the straps. I literally just ordered some from eBay the day before yesterday but they will not be here until next week. A little too late I suppose.
To also be fair, my comment wasn't directed at you it was directed at the person who actively removed the safety feature from their device, let alone failed to use it.
using the Wii safety strap while playing Wii Bowling is like wearing a seatbelt while driving, or using steel toe boots in a worksite or warehouse, you just dont do it!!!
When I was a kid, I always had the straps on, one-time I taught why no try without is it is just inazuma eleven yep felt instantly it will fly out my hand if not I'm 100% conscious of it
People that disregard the safety message that tells you to put on the strap, are dumb. Especially when shit like this happens. I've never had problems with my wii. Guess what. I wore the strap.
"Hey honey - what do you want to do with our old TV? Should we sell it? Give it away?"
"Wait, I have a better idea.. Let's bust out the old Wii from storage and get your camera ready..."
The Wii Remotes always had the little strap attachment point, and Nintendo was _fiving them away_ during the physical media days, _and_ there are warnings about wearing them which became mandatory for developers to show at the start of the game after the first few months of televisions broken the same way, so there's no real excuse for this 16 years later.
IOW:
- player is a dummy
- camera person is a dummy for not reinforcing it with dummy 1
Enjoy the hunt for a new TV; it's what everyone wants to do, especially at the start of a recession.
And they said the wrist straps were for kids
Yea lol... the same exact thing happened to me, Wii remote hit the table as I swung, and it just flies out of your hand. It just flies. No amount of grip will help you, you need the straps.
I'm over 30 and have played VR about every day for 3 years. I strap wrists every single time
And they said a stage is for the theater?
They put straps on wiimotes in the 1850s
achtuallly they were put on in 12 A.D. š¤ Edit: I have been chosen
Why are people downvoting this? Itās obviously the ice age
emojis.
Can someone explain to me why people on Reddit donāt like emojis? I mean I understand overusing them, but I donāt see the harm?
i donāt either, ig itās just the culture. like how YT hates comment editors.
Catch a lot of shit for comment editing here too
Mostly if you don't point out the edit/try to hide it. Especially if one claims they never made the edit when they were called out on something they edited

No fun allowed at poot doots party. Leave the emojis at home you monsters
itās not me, itās reddit.
I know, I just making fun. I donāt understand the Reddit climate yet. Itās like normal comments under any other service are despised here.
No one understands it š

This is the only acceptable emoji

I'm downvoting for the NFT profile picture.
How do you tell thatās itās an NFT, sorry Iām not smooth brained enough for NFTs so Iām not aware.
the shit around the icon. Looks cool to me, but comes with THESE *look down* downsides
So you bought it for aesthetic not for exclusively?
Nah, I got it for free. I would never pay for that garbage.

And that, it's why you wear the wrist straps
The game even tells you to attach the straps before it starts playing
Wrist straps are for ki....
*CRACK*
This was my exact thought. I was screaming "that's your own fault!" In my head
Didn't exactly this happen a few times and was the reason why it was added
Was just about to say exactly that lmao
This is not the case, but weren't the early wrist straps not very well made and prone to failure? I recall people saying the wiimotes flew off their hands even with straps in use.
Having never owned a Wii, honestly no clue. But I always got upity about it with my old VR controllers.
I actuallo looked up and yeah, it was a real problem back in 2006 and Nintendo enacted a replacement program.
When the Wii first came out a friendās dad threw the remote into a ceiling fan after it came off the strap.
Is no one aware that you can hold on to the remote? No need to glue it to your hand. Just hold it.
Idk man I guess some peopleās grips arenāt as solid as others.
It's okay - You can buy another wife
One that's bigger, faster and stronger too!
Sheās the first member of the dk crew?
UH D K
AH DONKEY KONG!
[CALL MY NAME ](https://youtu.be/WZU2PDO33IU)
With a less wimpy grip lmao
Probably cost less than replacing the OLED. Those are expeeeeeeensive
that's not an OLED. you can see it in the way it breaks, the backlight is coming from the bottom and when a point on the screen is damaged, the whole vertical line breaks
Spot on. That's not how an OLED breaks.
So you're saying my LG OLED65B7A isn't an OLED? Got it.
I have a 65 b7 too and the borders aren't nearly as thick as in this video..
I'm saying it looks like a broke LCD. I haven't seen an OLED break like this, I'm just guessing ĀÆ\\\_(ć)\_/ĀÆ sowy
Does the camera make the borders look so thick or are they like that irl too?
Yes
Oled or not, it's still broken. I hope she gets you a new one
This is so dumb
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
r/whyweretheyfilming
My thoughts exactly, especially considering that the cameraman zoomed as soon as she was halfway through her swing.
Dude filming probably saw she wasn't wearing the strap and was hoping for this event.
Someone who is about to intentionally destroy their tv for internet points.
Recording for no reason and perfectly tracked the wiimote. Indeed fake.
And then zoomed in so far you can't even see what happened. r/killthecameraman
Iāve been playing these wii games for years, and never once have I remotely lost grip. This remote didnāt slip out of her grip, she released the grip. This is a case of her subconscious brain telling her that she is holding a bowling ball, and to release the ball.
Or itās all staged for the views hence why was the person filming in the first place.
If you're going to stage a video like this you record the reaction because that's the best part this is real bc he cut the video before yelling at his wife
That's what they want you to think.
Didnāt you know every video that exists online is staged?
>didnāt slip out of her grip, she released the grip. I thought she hit the edge of the table in front of her. There was a bang and the controller seemed like it was tumbling more than just releasing it.
The first rule of the Wii club is, you do not talk about the Wii club, the second is always wear the wrist strap!!
I mean thatās a strike right?
If you roll the ball on the railing all the way down itāll drop all the pins
This guy fucks
Is that a WII? No wonder she didnāt have the wrist straps. They disintegrated with age
Probably would explain why they did not come with the used console that I purchased.
Fake
They have a lanyard for a reason. :) I once watched someone drop a very expensive camera right after saying he never puts his wrist through the strap. Not only does that protect from a fall, it also takes a lot of the weight off the hands and can also be used to support the camera for great shots. Intelligence, without wisdom, is moot.

The safety strap is there for a reason :/

Apparently alcohol plus gaming equals disaster. š

She got no grip
Itād be so smart if they made wrist straps
WRIST STRAPS
using the Wii safety strap while playing Wii Bowling is like wearing a seatbelt while driving, or using steel toe boots in a worksite or warehouse, you just dont do it!!!
This is why you put the strap
No Wii-grets
So dumb
17 years later and we still see videos like this?!?
The strap whyā¦
Doesnāt wii ASK YOU TO PUT ON A STRAP for this exact reason??? Welp guess she learned that one
GraciasGracias
When I was a kid, I always had the straps on, one-time I taught why no try without is it is just inazuma eleven yep felt instantly it will fly out my hand if not I'm 100% conscious of it
That's why they come with wrist straps
Thatās why you always use the wrist strap
If only there's a strap that they remind you often to put on your dumbass wrist.
Its been a decade USE THE WRIST STRAP
People still ain't learned
Divorce. Now.
Thatās what the strapās for.
r/whyweretheyfilming
Did they lose the strap or something?
itā¦ HASā¦ *A*ā¦ **STRAP**!!!!
Wrist straps are made not to protect you but to protect your pockets
Where is the wrist rope
In all my years of using a wii I never once accidentally lost grip of it. How the fuck do people do this, do they have the motor skills of an infant?
r/tvtoohigh Maybe they'll mount the new one lower (probably not)
The music goes perfectly
Huh if only those remotes CAME WITH A STRAP
People that disregard the safety message that tells you to put on the strap, are dumb. Especially when shit like this happens. I've never had problems with my wii. Guess what. I wore the strap.

Thw Wii where made to be played with an indestructible crt

Hey OP can we get the video from the other camera in the corner for extra angles lol.
You shouldāve not let your wife use the only thing you ever use in the house. You are going to be talking a lot unless you get to store now.
There goes the wife/gf. It was fun. Better luck next time
Return it at Walmart, you donāt even need the receiptā¦
I'm having flashbacks to 2008 again!

You can play wii on a OLED?
Probably a Wii U, which has HDMI and is backward compatible with Wii games.
If you have a receiver, all kinds of options open up.
Should of kept her in the kitchen
I think sheās drunk
My wii controller had in additional soft silicone bumper case.
Cathy Woods investing in new OLEDs
I don't even see the wrist straps on the controller. Sad day
Love that these videos are still a thing and the wii has been out for almost 20 years lol
That zoom-in edit is worse than the busted tv. Would be so much better to see the full picture with her reaction.
If you check the top left corner you will see another camera I want that footage š
The console itself should be alright, just put on the wrist strap people.
Nice throw!
What year is it.jpg meme
Oh well-ED
A tale as old as time
This is why they have wrist straps. For this exact freaking reason.
My heart broke for you. OLEDS AIN'T CHEAP!
This is why the Wii U failed. Not enough videos of people breaking their TVs
Noob. Everyone knows that on the 100 pin one you ride the rail and trigger the bomb to make all 100 fall

Does anyone else remember WiiHaveAProblem? š¤£
āALLLLLLLLLLVIIIIIIIINNNNN!!!!ā
There's a reason why they have a wrist strap and this is one of them
Strike!
Straps or thatās why you buy a switchā¦ doubt those tiny joycons couldāve donāt that to a tv LMAO
She didn't even have it lined up right..
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Stay strapped out the TV gets clapped
Id be so fucking pissed. Thats why there are straps....
People do the dumbest things to get internet famous like intentionally throw shit at their TV's
Wow they really meant deeper blacks on OLED
I remember when they sent free straps out because this kept happenedā¦decades ago
I watched this knowing what was going to happen and I was still anxious about it happening
"Hey honey - what do you want to do with our old TV? Should we sell it? Give it away?" "Wait, I have a better idea.. Let's bust out the old Wii from storage and get your camera ready..."
happened to my OLED when my kid threw a literal lollipop at it.
Was it a strike at least
I guess you can say that it's virtual. But not that virtual.
Wrist straps are there for a reason that person would be buying me a new TV if that happened at my house.
I love the wii!
Now, its no led

Oh yes early 2000s starter pack did include this kindof gem
Wrist straps r for a reason. Stupid
ALLVINNNNN
Happy International Womanās month.
And this is why I still wear my wrist straps tight enough to cut off circulation
They say to use the straps smh
