I didn't even get past the hook to the nose..he almost caught himself with it when he was putting the anchor down and I was already wanting to nope out. I saw some pretty gnarly shit at a festival parade in Thailand and that was plenty for my lifetime.. 🫠
I also wonder how someone discovers and develops this “skill.”
Like, was he just sitting around one day and decided that he should try putting a big ass hook into his face? And then thought maybe I should see how much weight I can hang on it?
It starts with snorting a spaghetti noodle and coughing it out of your mouth and sort of flossing with it. Goofy little party trick. Do it enough and it stops tickling.
Then you move on to nails. Gently tapping in the nail with a hammer for full effect.
Then, bigger nails.
I used to be able to do this using a small chain (like the noodle trick) but I used an acoustic guitar instead of an anchor.
I just told someone I used to do that with Ramen noodles when I was a kid and they looked at me like an insane person. I was even second guessing my memories of it. It was definitely a thing
Might be an old carny. The entire thing is a blockhead routine, though usually that's just inserting nails into your sinus cavity. Actually lifting something that heavy with your sinus seems like a really bad idea.
I learned how to take a 4" nail into my nasal cavity nearly 30 years ago. When it gets all the way back into your throat you can taste the metal. I just never thought much about using a hook to come back out through my mouth. Even less did I think about using the mines in my skull as a hanging point for that hook!
6-8 is a good start... I can easily put down a dozen! The thing is I've been to loads of parties that had deviled eggs and one party with someone performing circus acts similar to this hook bit. The deviled eggs aren't as memorable...
My in laws make sweet deviled eggs. I personally refer to them as angel eggs. When I make them(mine are savory and spicy), I like to play roulette and have one with very powerful hot sauce under the yolk. I dont tell anyone which one it is, and I normally forget by eating time. I believe that they should be called "deviled" for a reason.
theyre at least aware that theres a mine somewhere right? id be pissed if i got a super hot bite when i was just trying to enjoy an hors d'oeuvre and wasnt warned that was a possibility.
Please share your wisdom of delived eggs. I like my parents (technically my grandma's) recipe but I want to try making my own but theirs so far is the only recipe I really liked. Probably because I'm used to it but eh. Also the few times I tried it it got really messy :')
Acquire week old eggs. If you’re uncertain on the age of your eggs, put them in a bowl of water deep enough to cover them. If they stand on end, they’re perfect. If they lay on their side, they’ll be hard to peel. If they float to the surface, they’re rotten.
Put as many eggs as you want deviled +2 for insurance in a pot with just enough water to cover them. Bring the water to a boil, and allow them to boil 10 minutes. Note, if you drop them into an already boiling pot, they are significantly more likely to crack. You may still lose some, that’s why you added insurance eggs.
Scoop the eggs from the boiling water directly into a bowl of ice water with a slotted spoon. Let them cool completely for the best peeling experience. Peel the eggs, and rinse them.
Half your boiled eggs with a sharp knife. If you are feeling fancy, you can use a crinkle cutter, hardly necessary. Reserve the yolks in a mixing bowl and line up the empty cup shaped whites on your serving dish.
Completely pulverize the yolks with a fork, food processor or potato masher. Measure the volume of yolk paste. Add the same volume of mayonnaise, mix. Add 1/4 volume yellow mustard, mix. Add vinegar to taste, I usually do about half as much as the mustard, and mix thoroughly.
Put your yolk mixture into a piping bag. If you haven’t got one, use a ziplock and cut a small piece of one corner off, about the size of your fingertip. Squeeze the mixture into the egg white cups. Sprinkle with paprika. Serve fresh.
Take any eggs that didn’t make it through the boil and dice them, mix with leftover yolk filling for a deviled egg salad. Good with crackers, or on a sandwich!
NOTE:
If you’re the type to like relish in your deviled eggs, use that for the vinegar step.
Use a pin or thumbtack to poke a small hole in the fat bottom side of the egg, just enough to pierce the air sack, prior to boiling. This causes the pressure of the cooked egg material to push out the air pocket, leaving you nice round eggs without the divot on the bottom.
It also makes them significantly easier to peel as the expanding egg has somewhere to go instead of pressing against the side of the shell
I have a smoothed 10 inch spike I use to mess around with new hires at work (which we haven't had in a few years).
The look on their face when you make a loud thunk in the tool trailer and come running out holding your face, only to reveal a 10 inch nail 3 inches stuck up my nostril is always priceless.
I got a Covid swab stuck up my nose at work once when I was showing the on site health check “this neat trick I can do” lol. Just grumbled n went to get some pliers out of my car and pulled it back out 😅
Because it looks incredibly disturbing compared to how bad it actually is.
Pushing a clean, not too sharp hook through there is probably reasonably safe-ish if he's done it before, and probably nowhere near as unpleasant as it looks once you're used to it.
I assume there is something back there that is able to take the weight without causing pain or damage, even though intuitively I (and most people, I think) would assume it's all very soft easy-to-tear tissue, so once the hook is in, that's a great way to make it look even more horrifying.
My first thought was getting a covid test swab stuck an inch or so up my nose and losing my shit. Coughing, tearing up...had to get up and pace for a few seconds. This guy is built different.
That was my first thought. How does one discover being able to do such things?
Alcohol consumption? Desperation for sinus condition relief? Weird bondage fetish?
This is a great variation of the classic carnival sideshow routine called the Human Blockhead!
The nasal cavity extends back a lot farther than we tend to think, and sideshow performers have been taking advantage of that for a century now. The most basic form involves inserting a 6" nail directly backwards. Once you get over the sneeze reflex, passing a string from nose to mouth is a common thing. I've seen something similar to this guy's routine with a flexible band between nose and mouth, but the big hook is fucking killer and the anchor really sells it. Silky smooth execution too.
There's a good chunk of skull between the nasal passage and the throat, so structurally there's plenty to hold it. As for how comfortable it is, I couldn't tell you. He has the benefit of choosing the trick and gear, plus a ton of practice, but you also don't get far as a sideshow performer without a high tolerance for discomfort.
I don't get how this is an impression of a fishing trip gone wrong? Is he saying that someone got hooked to an anchor and sunk? Or sis I miss the reference?
I do feel uneasy about watching that so maybe that is part of it?
Internal monologue - “Please don’t lift that anchor with your face…no no please don’t lift the anchor with your face…DON’T SWING THE ANCHOR WITH YOUR FACE!!!!”
In a well practiced manner, he loops the hook in through his nose and out of his mouth. then proceeds to hang the anchor from the hook and swings it around a bit like a pendulum.
He doesn't appear to be in any pain at all and removes everything without issue.
Swings the anchor from the hook in his nose/mouth them takes the hook out. Nothing bad or disturbing unless him swinging it is disturbing. Frankly it would be worse if its was attached to just skin like his back or chest. Being through his face essentially isn't that bad.
Whats neat is every human can do something similar with a long nail.There a straight hole through your those that a framing can slide right in. I've tried it,works,and no pain. This hook might take practice tho
I used a similiar trick to sneak drugs into jail once they started using those ass x-ray machines. You can fit a good amount in your nasal cavity and they don't think to check
I stopped watching when he went to grab the anchor.
I didn't even get past the hook to the nose..he almost caught himself with it when he was putting the anchor down and I was already wanting to nope out. I saw some pretty gnarly shit at a festival parade in Thailand and that was plenty for my lifetime.. 🫠
It’s okay, it was a booger free zone.
Same, I noped out so fast
Everybody’s good at something…
Displays like this make me grateful that I am good at boring stuff, like making deviled eggs.
I also wonder how someone discovers and develops this “skill.”
Like, was he just sitting around one day and decided that he should try putting a big ass hook into his face? And then thought maybe I should see how much weight I can hang on it?

What’s your thing?
Lol, we had the best PSAs growing up...
House hippos, Heritage Minutes, that android kid that used to get sawn into pieces...
I'd like to think Aiden is still cutting people in half somewhere
you’re way more popular at parties, i’m certain
Im just imagining a party where this guy does his trick and /u/perldawg is like "that's cool but have yall seen Brenda's deviled eggs?"
whom among us hasn’t hoovered 6-8 deviled eggs in one sitting?
6-8 is a good start... I can easily put down a dozen! The thing is I've been to loads of parties that had deviled eggs and one party with someone performing circus acts similar to this hook bit. The deviled eggs aren't as memorable...
＼（＾∇＾）／
Did we watch the same video??
deviled eggs though
My in laws make sweet deviled eggs. I personally refer to them as angel eggs. When I make them(mine are savory and spicy), I like to play roulette and have one with very powerful hot sauce under the yolk. I dont tell anyone which one it is, and I normally forget by eating time. I believe that they should be called "deviled" for a reason.
Fun fact: around 1600, “powdered” meant salted meat and “deviled” meant peppered.
theyre at least aware that theres a mine somewhere right? id be pissed if i got a super hot bite when i was just trying to enjoy an hors d'oeuvre and wasnt warned that was a possibility.
yea. I leave a note written on the lid, and i try to warn anyone going for one. To keep it fair, I let someone else pick my deviled egg(s).
Do you want to go to Party A, where there's all the deviled eggs you can eat, or Party B, where a guy hangs and anchor out of his nose?
Please share your wisdom of delived eggs. I like my parents (technically my grandma's) recipe but I want to try making my own but theirs so far is the only recipe I really liked. Probably because I'm used to it but eh. Also the few times I tried it it got really messy :')

This is pretty great, I especially appreciated the factoid about week-old eggs being easier to peel.
Making a good deviled egg is very hard, getting the shell to come off without destroying the egg is a major feat in itself.
You need older eggs!
Making deviled eggs is crunk af. There’s never been a party with too many deviled eggs.
I'll take your deviled eggs over... Whatever this video was.
got any good recipes for deviled eggs?
Edit: Just saw you posted one already farther down :) lol
Fuck me.. I just .. why?
Shit has to feel weird
It does.
I have a smoothed 10 inch spike I use to mess around with new hires at work (which we haven't had in a few years).

Same. It's also not just the bone, it's everything between the hook and the bone that I'd be worried about.
That's the shocking part though. I'd assume an anchor is enough to break the maxilla.
[deleted]
I made a TV show with this guy.
Also worth checking out Ryan Stock. His interests include pulling cars with his hook, and hanging himself from it. And eating chainsaws.
https://youtu.be/AQoOX6PEX6o?t=110
I didn't finish it. I can't
Why did you do that?
Because I can.
Big ups to grandpa here.
My first thought was getting a covid test swab stuck an inch or so up my nose and losing my shit. Coughing, tearing up...had to get up and pace for a few seconds. This guy is built different.
What, was he drinking one night with his buddies and thinks 'I'm gonna stick a fish hook through my nose'....
His TT channel (and house) is full of weird circus shit like this.
Saw him wearing Trump merch though and that grossed me out more than any of this.
That's just too much 🤢
That was my first thought. How does one discover being able to do such things? Alcohol consumption? Desperation for sinus condition relief? Weird bondage fetish?
This is all fun and games until he swings too hard and breaks his skull from the inside…
This guy seems like a career circus geek. They walk among us, the veteran carnies, ready to answer the call at a moment's notice.
I can't stop watching this. I'm hooked.
I bet that clears up the sinuses pretty good
Didn't scroll far for this comment, thank you.
Why the long face?
That guy had a lot of fun in the 80’s
I’m surprised he still has a septum. Must have been buddies with Pablo
I know this is /r/WTF, but what the fuck?
Dear God, that isn't a load bearing facial structure!
Bet his relatives love him popping round at Christmas with his ‘party tricks’
And over here I'm balling my eyes out from a three second COVID swab.
Bawling* unless your eyes are good at basketball
Oops, I meant to say bowling.
Strike Two

I've seen something similar to this guy's routine with a flexible band between nose and mouth, but the big hook is fucking killer and the anchor really sells it. Silky smooth execution too.
What takes the force of the anchor? Does he hold the hook with his lower jaw? Can the soft palate really lift an anchor?
There's a good chunk of skull between the nasal passage and the throat, so structurally there's plenty to hold it. As for how comfortable it is, I couldn't tell you. He has the benefit of choosing the trick and gear, plus a ton of practice, but you also don't get far as a sideshow performer without a high tolerance for discomfort.
dude na
How much force would it take to rip your soft palate out of your face
This is the most wtf thing I’ve ever seen on this site. Congratulations you win.
The fuck is this shit title
The title the guy says in the only spoken words in this video? Did you bother watching it?
The fuck is this shit comment
Why
Your face said it would prefer you never gave “this impression “ever again
How do you figure out you can do something like that?
Nah. Enough Reddit for today.
Boys will be boys
"yeah this one's for reddit"
I bet he's fun at lemon parties
Doctor Doctor. whenever I drink coffee my eye hurts.
I don’t like that
I don't get how this is an impression of a fishing trip gone wrong? Is he saying that someone got hooked to an anchor and sunk? Or sis I miss the reference?
I do feel uneasy about watching that so maybe that is part of it?
Oh he's definitely getting off on that.
Weak, it’s not even a barbed hook.
I feel like this guy went up to the covid swab people and said, "Deeper please"
The wording used in the title made me thing this trick was going to go horribly wrong...
Internal monologue - “Please don’t lift that anchor with your face…no no please don’t lift the anchor with your face…DON’T SWING THE ANCHOR WITH YOUR FACE!!!!”
Well, this was significantly more fucked up than expected.
Might wanna put a little NSFW on there
Shit! I couldn’t bring myself to watch it. Kind person tell me what happens.
Edit: thanks to those who responded. Glad I didn’t watch it.

ok checking out of this one early
I, Nose, strong
This is a perfect example of “just because you can doesn’t mean you should.”
Adds a whole new meaning to the expression, "being led by the nose."
So I can use a human for live bait? Hypothetically
I could not even finish this video. Got that weird feeling in my spine like when you look off the edge of a cliff.
I feel so fucking uncomfortable seeing this holy shit
Dude
Memories of the Jim Rose circus sideshow. Mr lifto did ridiculous things I didn't know the body could endure.
This reminds me of The Amazing Mr. Lifto. He was part of Jim Rose Circus.
I had to stop watching once I realized what he was about to do.
Stop that.
I skipped forward in the video and was immediately caught off guard
This guy must be great at holiday dinners
He’s gonna give himself a sinus infection.
I also just got hooked into watching this. Thanks for reeling me in!
For some reason I was expecting a rope to be tied around something too
You used to have to go to the circus and pay a dollar to see this sort of thing. What a fascinating modern age we live in.
Cool party trick for Christmas
A class clown made it to retirement age?
Imagine when your entire facial structure finally gives
I was waiting for his maxilla to snap and some arteries to burst. So idiotic to do this.
Stop…stop doing that. wtf??
Cocaine's a hell of a drug!
Could take nasopharyngeal no problem
Nah, just Boomer life before television!
I don't like this.
No thank you.
None for me, thanks though
How does one discover this?
I think this warrants an automatic win on America's got talent....
This is totally optional btw
Sometimes I wish I did not have internet....
NSFW mark?
damn, pretty happy that I stopped it right way when I saw the tools
WTF?…
How do you say you use to be a carny without saying it?
Don’t no….
He'll regret that when he grows up...
Enough reddit for today. I was NOT expecting that.
Get rid of migraines with this one weird trick!
Great way to clear the sinus.
I don't understand what just happened
Ugh. 🤮
Don't tell him about sounding, or do it, I aint watching that no more anyway...
How does someone come to know that they can do something like this?
I would say "get a life" but he's like 60 years old, not much left.
“Great, Dad. So, we’re just going to go to prom now…”
Nope
All anchor, no fish
I think I hate the human body
AND MY AXE
Yeah I'm thinking based
I changed my mind about fighting this guy
Whats neat is every human can do something similar with a long nail.There a straight hole through your those that a framing can slide right in. I've tried it,works,and no pain. This hook might take practice tho
👍🏻
no not this time
I don't like that.
I used a similiar trick to sneak drugs into jail once they started using those ass x-ray machines. You can fit a good amount in your nasal cavity and they don't think to check
That escalated so fast
Stop being a pussy and grab a treble hook with barbs on it! 🤣
I don't get it, but I bet bro has some unresolved issues
Reminds me of Aqua Teen Hunger Forvr when Carl did the same thing with his necklace. (Episode Bookie)
At least I time to stop the video when I realized where this was heading. Yeesh.
I wonder if he could support his whole body weight...
Mr.Krabs did warn you not to go to that hook area.
What a blockhead! I love guys who still pull off old Carny skills!
Where the hell is my unsee juice!
Nope nope nope nope. Nope nope, nope.
In Soviet Russia, fish hooks you.
I kinda feel like something’s gonna give one o’ these days.
Dude missed his calling, the Jim Rose Circus in the 90s would have loved this!
As soon as I saw the hook touch his nose, I tapped out. Nah, not interested.
Oh that was worse than I wanted to see. I thought he had a pre-pierced cheek he was going to push the hook through, or something.
...i wish you didnt do that
How clear do his sinuses feel after that?
dayuuum
Insane George Clooney.
I thought this video would be boring at first, but 15 seconds in I was hooked
As a former sideshow performer myself. I'm impressed.
Fuck! I am at work…. And I screamed at my desk when he put the hook to his nose… wtf
In theory, could anyone do this or did this guy do too much coke back in the day?
Drinking’s going to be messy for him.
I guess that’s a good way to get lockjaw
So tempted to learn this for when I have a blocked nose
New routine u/scamschoolbrian??
I’m done with the internet
Nah, fuck that
why
How do you even find you that you could do that?
Edit: Spelling
Baited.
Ok, NO
What a strange covid test
Uhmmm ...
He’s right. That went poorly.
It's not really what the fuck. I understand what. I do not understand why. WHY THE FUCK.
got about 5 seconds in and noped the fuck out
I don’t think I’ve ever flinched as hard as I did when watching this before… what a hall of fame stupid idea…
Decided to fast forward to see if it’s worth watching… that was a mistake.
Nope, nope nope, saw where that was going. Good job probably but I'm not watching it lol.
Prolly still has problems nose breathing
