The f22 is my favorite character in this mini series

[@Mike-hy9wy]

I remember reading yesterday that they claimed they shot it down. Couldn't wait to hear your take on that.

[@jloiben12]

Houthis: We yeeted one F-22. [3 hours later…] F-22 gang: And that is why Saudi Arabia’s southern border now has a gulf on the other side of it

[@Rotorhead1651]

....and it's glow-in-the-dark, too! 😂🤣😆🤪

[@today05]

yeah, seems like the bab-el-mandeb strait could handle a bit of landscaping to make it the sea of bab-el-mandeb

[@fogeltje]

They always laugh until the BUFF starts to change the topography of the land.

[@Mister_K-J]

I love how the kid KNOWS the nugget is a week old and is still willing to fight over it. He just wants A fight, he doesn't care what it's about.

[@TopDesert_ace]

I completely understand. I've gotten into a whole hornet's nest of trouble several times over just the dumbest things.

[@magnuslord]

Please never stop making these. Top tier entertainment! 👌 😊

[@Dominus_of_GLORY]

The first half actually had me a bit worried, can't even lie

[@blazed420rcd]

"I was in my hanger fighting with a possum for a week old chicken nugget" 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@DBONPC]

"Those houthis put something on tweet book, and it almost ended in complete indiscriminate annihilation." Best sentence ever.

[@AtholAnderson]

The only way the Houthis would even know if an F-22 was there would be if they hear it go supersonic as its leaving.

[@Killerpixel11]

Or if the pilots felt like trolling and went belly-up towards the radar while opening all hatches.

[@josephstalin8217]

I was funny with a dead possum for a week old chicken, nugget laughing so hard I fell out of my chair in class

[@pointblankokc]

I love this guy’s videos. There’s nothing to do for fun in Lawton so he’s gonna make videos to entertain himself. Keep up the good work bud, I laugh at all of them.

[@BrazenSal]

The bit of being stuck in a hanger while fighting a possum over a week old chicken nugget reminds me of my old sergeant. Yes he was that kind of psycho. Raised me well. ~snif

[@SKIPWIRE1]

A simple and sincere thanks for the smile that just won't go away.

[@neilpapermodels]

Wheezing right now...the kid was genuinely loved by his family. They were about to drop packages of 500 lbs ass whopping. Emotions went from really concerned to....possom concerned.

[@dilliondouglas412]

Holy crap! Everyone was ready to go scorched Earth for F 22...especially Grandpa Buff.

[@Azriel1124]

Shooting the Kid? HAHAHAHHAHA! That's like saying the Russians destroyed the Patriots.

[@itwasagoodideaatthetime7980]

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 I woke the dog up laughing too hard at this. BTW One *VERY* unhappy Alaskan Malamute, would like to have a word with you. 😡🐺

[@theconvictedquokka]

Same with my belgian malinois that is chewing on my arm ​@itwasagoodideaatthetime7980

[@speedstick8981]

Hahaha I bet they “have the video” in a grainy 1997 hey-you-pikachu camera with it being either a flash or a firecracker in the distance.

[@vayneinsane]

I love the voice acting here, particularly hear the blame and self loathing in Buffs voice.

[@Smith559]

Grandpa Buff must be protected at all costs

[@SIS3W3N]

To be fair, an opossum fighting for a week-old chicken nugget could probably be more challenging than anything the Houthis can put in the air right now.

[@Cedar_Wolf]

No way in heck.

[@wrath4452]

Hell*

[@Cedar_Wolf]

@@wrath4452 Just watched Hacksaw Ridge yesterday. It's a movie about Desmond Doss, the only man in WWII to earn a Congressional Medal of Honor as a conscientious objector and a combat medic. He saved 75 people by himself, while wounded, without a weapon. They had to tone down the real story for the movie because it was thought that the actual events would be too unbelievable for the movies. I'm keepin' Pvt. Doss on my mind today. Y'all should go and read about him if you've got a minute. He's an inspiration. So no way in heck has anyone shot down the F-22.

[@RushFanatic87]

That was heartwarming to see everyone, even the F-15, get royally pissed off and ready to go to war for the kid.

[@titanlord9267]

The only "video" i've seen was from a videogame (because the F-22 has no reason to go so low, also due to the graphics quality) and a downed Su-34 in Ukraine. Another one was one with propellers (because we all know the F22 is a prop driven aircraft!)

[@Hexsyn]

This is ridiculous, you actually had me concerned, not for the potential death of a real person in real life who was piloting the 22, but for "the kid"

[@LightSpeedFury01YT]

WHAT?!? F-22 IS GONNA GET THE GHOSTRIDER

[@nd_gunslinger_6264]

I also thought the same 😂 along with the A-10

[@ckadefoliat2882]

@@nd_gunslinger_6264 BUFF and f-15 for quick work, a-10 and Ghost Rider for raining terror on them for a long time. it does give the US some choices no? :)

[@jdcampbell7090]

I love these character so darn much, thanks man

[@Rurik_Luci]

BUFF was ready to teach them something about old man strength

[@timothy4664]

In your universe. I don't know what scares me more, an f22 unleashed or grandpa buff seriously pissed off and emotional

[@Elitex62]

I love how they were ready to go unproportional at the news

[@speedstick8981]

No no I’d say that’s entire not proportional…enough.

[@Flyaway0821]

Honestly you make my days with these, no matter how shitty a day it can be this brings a shit eating grin form on my face and I chuckle so hard, so thank you and keep up the amazing work

[@FrostYT4444]

Did they? I lean towards no

[@thegloriouswizard5270]

Woof. Had me scared for a second there. Also, good to know that Grandpa Buff was about to go "tactical destruction" on behalf of the 22.

[@kalashnikovdevil]

No, pretty sure he was describing strategic destruction lol.

[@HelloFellowHooman]

Anyone else getting Florida energy from the 22 😂😂

[@faterevelation]

I think it needs to be canon that f22 imitates macho man when he gets angry, or goes insane, or just does anything other than talking normally

[@alvaroacuenteco5524]

For a second I was worried but then I remembered it's the raptor no way It can be brought down by museum warfare

[@Enneamorph]

The fact that everyone (especially Buff) was basically cracking their knuckles after hearing about the F-22 does put a smile on my face.

[@Fredthurtle]

"Did we run out of hot pockets" 🤣🤣

[@arklytte]

I have literally zero issues picturing The Kid fighting a possum for a week old chicken nugget. He's totally got 'Small Dog, but with the actual power of a (stealth) Dire Wolf' energy.

[@jobanh7ify]

The Houthis shoot down the F-22 with hopes and dreams 😂 “I was in my hangar fighting a possum for a week old chicken nugget” 😂😂😂

[@FrauWilhelmKlink]

Grandpa Buff's special relationship with The Kid is so incredibly wholesome and I'm here for it🥰

[@ShaunOfTheN00bs]

I was not expecting that ending 😂

[@IamSnehan]

Honestly, grandpa Buff and the F-22's dynamic is genuinely wholesome

[@michaelwestmoreland2530]

"Why is everyone so pissed off?" It's called "Camaraderie." And you got whole service branches of it, Kid.

[@Eramiserasmus]

F-22 fighting a possum makes too much sense. And Buff reminding people he takes nothing.

[@johndickerhoff1179]

Buff was really about to level the entire country just to avenge the 22. When you get to that age you can do anything with nothing left to lose

[@shgstewart4674]

Hell, I'm much younger than the BUFF, but I'm rapidly running out of fucks to give.
