I think my face was in a perpetual scowl the whole time watching this. Hats off to the worker of that job. I guess you don't have to worry about your immune system being unchallenged.. good Lord.

[@jbro8934]

Suddenly, the walls begin to rumble and close relentlessly in. "Threepio! Shut down all the garbage mashers on the detention level!!!"

[@kingjr1uzfe387]

90 % of the sewer was tortillas

[@alexisescandon9305]

your mom is

[@bigfoot1035]

10% guacamole

[@iustus6940]

Heck yeah! 😎

[@cuissardescaoutchouc]

the best material to dive in the sewer is the viking HD1500 suit with the aquadyne AH3 helmet It's possible to dive 8 hours enclosed in the suit under the helmet

[@keithturner2307]

I'd love to be able to do this and wear a drysuit and helmet I'd have to wear a catheter condom hooked up to the urinal tube inside the drysuit or wear a adult nappy underneath as I have a bladder problem

[@watercooler90210]

I kept thinking a eye ball was going to pop out of the water, and the room would suddenly start to get smaller.

[@RN-hx1rs]

Basically my worst nightmare.

[@xXJAKMACKXx]

Literally the sewers from half life 2

[@bryanmartinez6600]

xXJAKMACKXx a great place to film the new aliens movie can't even tell it's from Earth

[@Alessandro90933]

Can you imagine to go inside without protection?

[@Nice-ck7rq]

Drybush Tripwwuud yeah I would probably bust a nut

[@ellamcgarry2262]

@@saynuka7893 because it is

[@TheKing-qu8cm]

1:36 UFO underneath the sewer!

[@FernandoGTrueba]

The blokes at the end yell "It's only milk!" if anybody was wondering. I love my fellow Mexicans' humour.

[@777sweett777]

But what does that mean?

[@elteeee]

@@777sweett777 I have no idea, but... I had a Mexican friend who would often say, "Salud con leche" as a toast when drinking Tequila I never thought to ask him why, but it must be a *thing* 🤷🏽‍♂️

[@memeboi8998]

My dumb ass thought the thumbail was two people swordfighting

[@juliansandler4569]

I don’t see it

[@hbarwood]

I am in love with this

[@Zachary341]

Hi love diving, but not in a sewer

[@SIRKlLLALOT]

Why do I feel that there is some vile creature/abomination lurking down there amongst the filth.

[@inturn23]

It's probably Hillary Clinton.

[@SIRKlLLALOT]

Haha good one ;)

[@LaserStorm1000]

2:03 xD

[@Canadian_duck31]

Like in Star Wars with the trash compactor?

[@SteveSolaka]

Mexican Taco’s. Beans & spices, imagine the smell

[@kingdavid2406]

They really took a shot after😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@FernandoGTrueba]

Yo también soy mexicano hermano! Del norte de Chihuahua, saludos!

[@keeys393]

At first i thought that was the ground and i was like wdym diving?

[@armyag21871]

At the end..."Toma Leche"....they told them to drink milk afterwards....too funny...

[@israelhdiniz]

Usually they drink condensed milk to refill the calories they burn in a diving

[@jorgemontijo3736]

israel diniz i think it was a dirty pun

[@beersforyearsTM]

they call Americans kaga leches that means milk shitter. they mock whites for drinking shirty milk , they were mocking him....

[@ZOImperius]

@@beersforyearsTM jajsjsjaj no sabía eso, ya sé que decirles a los gringos

[@d1drifter87]

likewise, I'm mexican and I love British humor!

[@allancrow134]

I can't frick'n believe it! I hope they get 'danger' pay...like... a lot of 'danger ' pay. Of all the places you can go diving in the world ....that's got to be the bottom of a very long list. I noticed the divers looked a little worried. I guess eh?...Canada.

[@BertandLiv]

[@knux5998]

This would be good for food for louis

[@chewy6942]

My main concern would be something sharp puncturing my suit or my skin

[@ChrisNava1983]

Im not vomit Im not vomit Ok I''ll go for a pizza

[@RADanny]

"Thumbs up" if you watched with your mouth closed tight!

[@777sweett777]

...and held your breath!

[@loopi222]

Hose them off with their helmets still on!! Why isn't there a foaming pressure washer?

[@chriss2031]

Would have been wiser indeed.

[@fosterchild4523]

I was thinking that same thing.....obviously.....why would you take your helmet off FIRST then get splashed with buckets of water???? None of that cleaning procedure made any sense.

[@eljefemccarron2567]

Lots of pooped out bean burritos down there.

[@badbillybrookes]

Those two guys in background are laughing, because they peed in the tequila, a drink known as tepeelia.

[@I4ce]

Where is the Dianoga?

[@mitchm7563]

what do you expect after all those spicy tacos?

[@treejoe4]

you would gain superpowers

[@jairolopez3252]

[@carliosogaming9604]

A tacos pool

[@fosterchild4523]

Dude....they don't have a rinse tank for those guys to rinse off in after coming out of that mega toilet? They just throw buckets of water on them? They take off his helmet without being rinsed first???? Then he reaches up with his filthy unwashed hands to pull the rubber head sheath off of his head.......you are begging for some kind of infection doing it that way.

[@gh0strider117]
