Oh, this is embarrassing. A man on the Home Shopping Network is demonstrating how much fun it is to play Wii Sports with one of those plastic tennis racket accessories. Gotta make the sale! And it all goes well until he raises his arm and goes for the serve…
BAM~! That’s one broken TV you have there, mister. Maybe you should have paid attention to the warning that comes on when you turn the Wii on: “please make sure the controller is strapped to your wrist, lest you break the TV, and look like a fool.”
Though full credit to the man for, as the Brits say, getting on with it.
And for the life of me I can’t get the video to queue up to where I want it, so you’ll have to skip manually to 4m53s if you just want to go right to the action.
The fun part is that he HAD the controller strapped to his wrist! :)
just stand in front of the broken area on the tv and act like nothing happened.
don’t worry folks these non nitendo approved accessories won’t damage anything. watch as i serve here and oh shit!
HA esrb will be pissed
It’s at 5:05 for those of us that don’t want to wait that long.
He did have the strap on, that’s what she said, but it looks like the head came off.
“it looks like the head came off”
Is that also what she said? I don’t know if I want to date her…
Skip to 5:02ish if you want to get right to the destruction.
Looks like the head came off…yeah from hitting the tv with it. Does the wii instructions say to stand a certain distance away from your tv? If not, someone might just want to sue them for not stating all warnings.
Not everyone in every country needs to have stupid detailed instructions to avoid being sued. Common sense is a good thing to have, and most people do have it. But, if you are the one that will try to stop a chainsaw with your genitals and then sue the company if the instructions didn’t state that you could get hurt, then you should not be allowed to touch or handle anything.
Lighten up, Francis(co). I think that was sarcasm…
Sorry, but you get a big LOL from me.
If a little comment like that sends you into “INTERNET RAAAAGE” mode, maybe you shouldn’t be using it. OH whoops, the internet instruction manual doesn’t state anything about “E-Raging” over silly comments on the internet.
Dugg for completely unrelated thumbnail.
And HSN looking stupid as usual.
How many orders did they get after this happening.
This could have been better if they would have just uploaded the clip of the incident instead of the entire segment. I watched, and watched, and nothing happen. So I tried fast forwarding and ended skipping over the part. So I had to rewind, fast forward, rewind, fast forward…etc, etc just to see a 2 second clip. Next time I’m gonna show you my favorite scene from The Lord of The Ring trilogy, but I’m gonna upload all the 3 movies just to show you a 5 second scene, and then you tell me how you feel.
tell me about it
Ummm, look at the youtube account.
Its an HSN account on youtube, meaning this was uploaded just so HSN can have it uploaded in full, they never intended to upload it for the sake of him hitting the screen.
In fact, im surprised that part wasn’t cut out when they uploaded this clip.
Oh come on yourself – cry more, will you?
If you’re too busy to watch 5 minutes of video, you shouldn’t be watching junk like this anyway. I better stop writing now so I don’t waste your time more than I have to.
That’s what happens when you over-enunciate. Keep it simple, stupid!
Oh just terrific, despite polls showing that 99% of people uwing a Wii aren’t numbskulls that shoot the controller into their TV, THIS goddamn MORON does it on live national TV.
I guess Nintendo isn’t going to ease up on INSISTING you wear the strap and put the condom on your Wiimote, and well as forcing you to read that damn “health and safety” each ****ing time you turn on the system.
besides i don’t think anyone likes paying for the goddamn condom
LOL the Wii is only $200.
Those TV breaking accessories cost an extra $130?
Hey, Nicholas…did you even WATCH the video? if you had, you would have known that he HAD the controller strapped to his wrist and you wouldn’t have made a fool of yourself writing what you did.
YouTube lets you link straight to the time you want: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a07W2t2wcRA#t=5m
Wow that is amazing dude! Who would have thunk it!

The controller didnt fly of his hand, that moron was too close to the tv when he served, now hes gonna work one month free to pay it!
Lesson learned! NEVER buy LG HDTV and Wii Accessories. They Dont Match.
Actually for Wii, just buy any 480p widescreen tube TV. my 6 yo cousin keeps slapping the tv with the wiimote and the tv is still working, lots of dents though.
Panasonic Plasma’s have a thick glass shield that works wonders against this stuff too.
Man, that lady was laughing hysterically for nearly a minute…
the best part is when the guy shamelessly covered it up with his body for the rest of the footage.
Life is not good for that LG. :P
who the hell would pay that much for the stuff that comes with the system and a bunch of bull shit pieces of plastic?
it all starts at 5:06
why a 9-minutes video for a 10-seconds scene?
Epic Fail for the commercial part. =)
hahahahahah like it! :p
I personally think we should all be in awe of his monster serve.
BAM~! That’s one broken TV you have there, mister. Maybe you should have paid attention to the warning that comes on when you turn the Wii on: “please make sure the controller is strapped to your wrist, lest you break the TV, and look like a fool.”
– Actually he had it strapped on, the accessory fell off… maybe you should have paid attention to the video before you look like a fool.
Why people should NEVER EVER buy those stupid add-ons for Wii controllers that are supposed to simulate the sport/game that you’re playing!!
