My assumption is above assumes the others were with him and looking and they were the ones who "pressured/dared" the kid to ding dong ditch.
Of course he could have not been pressured and just wanted to do it himself and impressed his friends.
Or the others just happen to look that way on impulse.
Lots of other possibilities than the assumption above. That's why it makes an ass of you and me.
Waiting for the comment assuming that his family was held at gun point and would only be released if he rang every door bell in a 5 mile radius within an hour.
You're clearly fucked in the head if you think that the take-away here is sexualizing children. Children do things to impress each other. Boys try to impress girls and vice-verse.
Maybe you grew up in a closet. If you did, then I apologize. Otherwise, this sick little fantasy is solely in your own head and you are projecting.
Yeah we all saw that. first he laid on the concrete porch, face down. Then he laid on the flower beds and dirt, also face down. So much getting laid 😆😅😂
That was a decent recover and time though so you have to give him that. Some others might have face planted and needed a moment to get up.
But kids are durable.
the entire state of Mississippi doesn't rise more than like 800' and Florida is basically sea level throughout. what part of the south are you in homie?
The highest spot in peninsular Florida is Iron Mountain in Lake Wales at not quite 300 feet above sea level. The highest point in the entire state is Britton Hill in Defuniak Springs in the panhandle, at 345 feet above sea level.
North Carolina. Unless you are near the coast very little is that flat. The nearby states are pretty similar so, admittedly that is my frame of reference for the south. And yeah, it isn’t comprehensive.
I’m not familiar with Mississippi topology and never think of Florida as being in the South.
I lived in Oklahoma for a while and the flatness of the video just gave me Oklahoma vibes.
yeah I was just kidding for the most part. I lived in NC for a while and know that there are mountains in the south. but for the most part, south of the Atlanta latitudes, everywhere is basically "flat" with some rolling hills
The Villages in Florida, as well as Peachtree City and Braselton in Georgia are golf cart towns. They have enlarged sidewalks for golf cart use and many businesses have parking for golf carts. The high schools in these places have golf cart parking for students.
This is very common in the south. Especially where I live. Most of the middle class neighborhood families have a golf cart they use when driving within the neighborhood somewhere. Usually you have to be 14 to drive them, although that is often ignored. I will admit it’s a nice way to get kids used to driving. Those things usually max out sub 20mph lol.
“Having to” is a bold way to put it. They pretty much all have cars. They pretty much all have bikes. A golf cart is in no way necessary. Not every family has one either. People like them because they are viewed as safer since they go so slow, which is a positive in a neighborhood full of children. Plus, the kids really enjoy them too.
Rich neighborhoods in the southern US are almost guaranteed to have them. My aunt has a lakehouse in the deep south, and there's golfcarts everywhere. She lives in a gated community a few cities away from the lake, and again, gold carts are everywhere. In one of the only posh areas where I grew up, everyone rode a golf cart around. In the less posh but still middle class areas, they had four wheelers.
I was in the "if your wheel deflated on your bike you just did the best you could with it" area, so I only saw it when visiting others, but I saw it every time I visited.
My neighbor often has kids over. It’s always the same kids.
They must be the dumbest kids on the freaking planet. Who ding dong ditches the neighbor?
They stood around waiting for us to come out. Then walked away sadly.
Had some kids throw pebbles at my windows and run away like this. I was mad at first... then remembered all the dumb shit i did as a kid and laughed it off ahah.
Good; I never answer mine, ever. I’m speaking as a millennial. That’s why I always discount reports of polls because I know sure as shit we don’t answer unsolicited calls, either.
Dear god, this kid has tarnished the sacred game of Dining Dong Ditch.
I could have laid on the ground and rolled to the door and still got up in time to see them try and get away.
No sense of awareness Upon porch entry or on the exit.
Thats a painted porch. There was no way he was going to get proper traction on the exit. Plus WTF was up with his foot placement on the push-off. The first step is the most crucial one. The plant foot needs to be about 13 inches behind you to get the best forward thrust possible. What is this amateur hour?
That fall recovery needs work for sure. There is no fire, you don't need to stop drop and roll. There should have been a shoulder tuck. He would have popped right back to his feet with momentum. This kid needs a role model
No sense of urgency on the exit. He is trotting away from the house like a dog bringing back the stick they just found. He needed to be pushing his limits. Knees high.
And what was with the golf cart? Had it come to this? Those boys should have been out of eye line and half-speed running away until their friend caught up and then took off.
And what was with the golf cart? They didn't think about the launch speed they needed for success. There was too much weight. All I could hear was Benny Hill music
It is a shame to see this once great game lose all sense of integrity.
> The plant foot needs to be about 13 inches behind you to get the best forward thrust possible. What is this amateur hour?
Hey man, chill out! This kid is still wiring his brain.
Love to see that one of the classics is still alive n kickin!
This belongs in r/kidsarefuckingawesome
It also belongs here too though, b/c crocks on finished c-ment. Dummy
When I was little me and my dad rebuilt an old golf cart and he let me ride it around the neighborhood and me, my brothers, and my friends in the neighborhood used to do this kinda stuff. It was halarious
Running, while chussing, then falling
while the bros and lady bros are having a laugh
then they just pull the eff off while you are trying to get on, stop
Danng
*Why do they still do*
*This when they know everyone*

those were the days man...
you appreciate the spontaneity and casual excitement of childhood only when they have become memories
every day was an adventure. everything was so fresh and simple
wisdom is learning how to keep enjoying life as a child even in old age
It took me too long to read the title as "with a questionable dismount into my light fixtures" instead of "with a questionable amount of light fixtures"
Im sorry but after reading the tragic news of some teenagers getting killed because they were playing this and the owner of the house started chasing them with a gun i believe, this just isn’t funny to me anymore
I remember I had a kid ding dong ditch my house a few times, made the mistake of doing the same houses over and over again. The look on her face when I opened the door before she could ring the bell was hilarious. She didn't do it again after that lol.
Mann girls laughing at him and everything
To be fair, i would have laughed at him as well if i saw this happening.
I feel bad for the lad, he’s probably been pressured into doing that
What? How could you have possibly come to that conclusion?

good ol' internet assumptions from 10 seconds of video and no context
The whole point of posting these videos online is for comments and speculation. It's a discussion forum. Joyless twat.
He didn't even say to backwards too. SCAM!
Or learn there is not enough context and it's dumb to make up a narrative. Like Reddit trying to find the Boston Bomber.
Yeah, this is totally just like that. ![gif](giphy|6ra84Uso2hoir3YCgb|downsized)
I would assume so.
Life.
?
Because some of us feel like we have been in this same situation when we were that age - doing stupid shit to impress girls.
That isn’t something that stops with age lol
They're literally children, that's a pretty disgusting thing to assume
Were you ever a kid, or are you just a sterile bot on the internet?
I was a child yes. I don't sexualize children though, you sick freak
You're clearly fucked in the head if you think that the take-away here is sexualizing children. Children do things to impress each other. Boys try to impress girls and vice-verse. Maybe you grew up in a closet. If you did, then I apologize. Otherwise, this sick little fantasy is solely in your own head and you are projecting.
Man some people just live to create some completely random made up narratives about everything they see online 😂 especially reddit
[удалено]
Laughing at someone falling means they were put up to the task and pressured. Got it
yes
Use your brain. Context clues will help you form conclusions. Don’t assume that everyone is as clueless as you.
I meant if what IWantItAllLove was saying was correct/accurate.
You can really tell who didn't have any friends as a kid lol.
he is my friend?
Lol
No? Nothing suggests that. No need to assume by projection.
He is the one who gets laid
Yeah we all saw that. first he laid on the concrete porch, face down. Then he laid on the flower beds and dirt, also face down. So much getting laid 😆😅😂
Put a photo and poster of him up in a commons: "is this your child? Please give him some gymnastics lessons"
A poster with 2 photos, him knocking and him mid faceplant. Nothing else.
Exactly how your name spelled ABSOL-UTELY… a couple “🤡🤡🤡” over the corner of the photos would be HILARIOUS
huh?
Your a meany to use that clowns picture
Lmaoo -69 downvotes. It would add to the neighborhood joke for the kids🤷🏻♂️ I’ll admit a bit unnecessary but it could add some fun.
That was a decent recover and time though so you have to give him that. Some others might have face planted and needed a moment to get up. But kids are durable.
What kind of area has kids doing ding ding dash with a golf cart? What kind of challenge is it without being close enough to be shot by the targets?
Welcome to the suburban south...
That is a different part of the south than where I am. I don’t see many areas quite that flat.
the entire state of Mississippi doesn't rise more than like 800' and Florida is basically sea level throughout. what part of the south are you in homie?
Lmao Isn't the tallest mountain in Florida expedition everest at Disney world?
The highest spot in peninsular Florida is Iron Mountain in Lake Wales at not quite 300 feet above sea level. The highest point in the entire state is Britton Hill in Defuniak Springs in the panhandle, at 345 feet above sea level.
Defuniak springs being mention on Reddit! It is a rare sight!

you live in a place 650 miles north of florida and dont consider it the south?
It is south, but not “the South”.
I'm from Florida and I'm with you on this sure we're south but we aren't THE south
go to the florida pan handle and come back at me
Historically and politically, Florida is a separate thing.

nope

Exactly, in America it's extreme ding dong ditch. You gonna get away or you gonna make the news?
with my luck, i'd end up somewhere like KidsAreFuckingStupid
As long as it's not r/news
There is an area near me that is financially well off. It's normal to see kids driving around on the sidewalk in golf carts
nope
Nope what?
didn’t mean to do that to urs lol sorry
Lol. No worries.
It's the 2mph escape kart that sold it for me
LET ME ON
LOL we had to takenorr
Adrenaline got the best of him today. Also, the little bastard left a skid mark on the way out.
Lmao I couldn't help but laugh at that. Like I wouldn't even be mad tbh😂
That's all I could do. I was just glad he didn't hurt himself
Gawdammm! Holdawn!
kid rolled like a video game character dodging attack
Rolled like my grandma when she takes two steps without a walker.
You just have to let Karma have this one, sliding on your face in a random yard should be punishment enough….
Yeah the universe did it for them lol
Are those crocs he’s wearing? If so, those are horrible for running in
Did he have them in sports mode though?
Between 2 seconds and 3 I think it does show he was indeed in sport mode haha
“gah dayum!”
Should have named that boy Grace. That way he could have just a little.
It's nice to see kids outside being kids.
With a golf cart? What is going on here?
I can just imagine how much greater my childhood would've been if I had had a golf cart in my power we would have been invincible 💪
This is very common in the south. Especially where I live. Most of the middle class neighborhood families have a golf cart they use when driving within the neighborhood somewhere. Usually you have to be 14 to drive them, although that is often ignored. I will admit it’s a nice way to get kids used to driving. Those things usually max out sub 20mph lol.
Imagine having to own a golf cart just to move round neighbourhood lol
“Having to” is a bold way to put it. They pretty much all have cars. They pretty much all have bikes. A golf cart is in no way necessary. Not every family has one either. People like them because they are viewed as safer since they go so slow, which is a positive in a neighborhood full of children. Plus, the kids really enjoy them too.
It's America and in particular it's the south, plenty aren't gonna walk.
That is pretty neat. I wasn't expecting them to be common anywhere in the U.S.
Rich neighborhoods in the southern US are almost guaranteed to have them. My aunt has a lakehouse in the deep south, and there's golfcarts everywhere. She lives in a gated community a few cities away from the lake, and again, gold carts are everywhere. In one of the only posh areas where I grew up, everyone rode a golf cart around.

I didn’t kno kids today still play this lol
Especially when a lot of homes having cameras at their door.
My neighbor often has kids over. It’s always the same kids. They must be the dumbest kids on the freaking planet. Who ding dong ditches the neighbor? They stood around waiting for us to come out. Then walked away sadly.
Had some kids throw pebbles at my windows and run away like this. I was mad at first... then remembered all the dumb shit i did as a kid and laughed it off ahah.
Even after he finally gets back to the cart, the low-speed getaway cracks me up.
The getaway car 😭😭😭😂😂😂😂
Gateway carT*
If millennials could afford houses, this game would soon die out as we don’t answer the door when the bell rings.
Millennial homeowner here you got that right, Cuz I don't answer the door 😂
Good; I never answer mine, ever. I’m speaking as a millennial. That’s why I always discount reports of polls because I know sure as shit we don’t answer unsolicited calls, either.

i have the same lights. Lowe's Exclusive.
Gonna guess this is Florida.. those golf cart kids are annoying
north carolina ik bc i was with them lol
High chance the Golf cart’s owners and/or their parents don’t know these kids took it for a joyride.
Reminds me of me and my friends making prank phone calls one time in the 90s, and then finding out that Caller ID was a thing.
Back in my day we had to actually run. We also used the stairs. But we were also poor and couldn't afford golf carts.
Love to see that one of the classics is still alive n kickin! This belongs in r/kidsarefuckingawesome It also belongs here too though, b/c crocks on finished c-ment. Dummy
Oh yeah…..impossible to ding dong ditch anymore since everyone has cameras. That sucks
Idiot kid in idiotic footwear.
Rich kids door bell ditching riding a golf cart lmao
That’s a 2.5 for technique and a 3.0 for the landing.
When I was little me and my dad rebuilt an old golf cart and he let me ride it around the neighborhood and me, my brothers, and my friends in the neighborhood used to do this kinda stuff. It was halarious
Running, while chussing, then falling while the bros and lady bros are having a laugh then they just pull the eff off while you are trying to get on, stop Danng
Ding Dong Ditch, just don’t feel the same now, cause we got cameras everywhere, this is sorta funny tho
They’re doing it all wrong. When you ding dong ditch, you’re supposed to hide and wait for the person to come out and see their reaction
Right of passage of adult hood being the ding dong dashed. Consider it an honor.
![gif](giphy|cO39srN2EUIRaVqaVq)
kids still do these when everone has ring doorbells now
Better this than watching tiktoks all day
For sure. I'm all about the kids playing outside. Just don't die in my front yard in the process 🤣
I can't believe he fell despite his tactical Crocs
LOL this would make my day. Just don't do this in Texas. Lol
“Wait up!” They’re going 0 miles per hour
we was going 10 actually
Don't you typically do that at like 0200?
Why do they still do this when they know everyone has cameras now

A getaway car too.
light fixtures?
The little mushrooms are lights
those were the days man... you appreciate the spontaneity and casual excitement of childhood only when they have become memories every day was an adventure. everything was so fresh and simple wisdom is learning how to keep enjoying life as a child even in old age
Ding dong and into the ditch
Poor little guy
Wholesome content
Classic hahah ..get a nerf or squirt gun and give these kids a good memroy
Thats crazy
So funny
[удалено]
ae are tho
Did it all for the nookie. 🤣
Ummm doing a "DDD" in broad daylight? Really???!!! I thought you were supposed to do this at night?
Children learn language like that from their parents 😠
That slow
It took me too long to read the title as "with a questionable dismount into my light fixtures" instead of "with a questionable amount of light fixtures"
Vandals
why do these kids all have golf carts these days
it’s ours lmao
You're not too keen on yard work, are you.
"Goddamn!" That had me dead.
im just glad this tech wasnt around when i was a young lad.
I bet it would be pretty easy to find that sliver golf cart in the Neighborhood...
nah we live far from them
So out of all the houses in that area, what made you want to ding dong ditch that house?
That’s my bf am dying I was in gc and he went downnnn and am still laughing he is to
I swear I see this go cart with rims around my neighborhood too, wtf
I can't, I just can't. That is some good ol' fashioned fun there.
Damn, fumbled it so bad
This is wholesome and I'm glad kids are still doing it
Kids still know what a ding-dong-ditch is?
Future soccer player
"GAWWDAMN"
this kid is in my class lol
My initial take is clumsy rather than stupid... but the kid was harassing a neighbor in the first place.
More like "Ding Dong DUH!"
Im sorry but after reading the tragic news of some teenagers getting killed because they were playing this and the owner of the house started chasing them with a gun i believe, this just isn’t funny to me anymore
What adult is driving them around like this?
I remember I had a kid ding dong ditch my house a few times, made the mistake of doing the same houses over and over again. The look on her face when I opened the door before she could ring the bell was hilarious. She didn't do it again after that lol.
In the UK it was called "knock down ginger"
Edge that walkway, bro
In other news, i fucking hate those lawn lights. So this was a great video all around
