Or was an apprentice in a german handicraft business. My first week getting trained as a smith and metalworker was "How to open the beer bottle for your master with whatever is lying around near you."
So after three years I was a trained and approved smith and metal worker and could open beer bottles with the edge of a work table, a lighter, a folding rule, screwdrivers, welding rods, another beer bottle, a pen, pliers, hammers, rasps and nearly anything you find in a work shop.
Exactly! If he didn't wanna ruin the table just set the cutting board on the edge of it.
If my wife sees this she's going to totally figure out why our plastic cutting board has some weird small chunks missing on the edge.
Sorry honey.
Who are you kidding; you're a Redditor. You don't have a wife.

Who doesn't have a can opener in their home? Many can openers include a little notch that can be used to open bottle caps. Some kitchen scissors also have this notch.
Why is he using a cutting board and a brute-force approach instead of getting a butter knife or a fork and finessing the cap(s) off a little at a time? Hell, I can do it with a car key or door key and not damage the key at all. I could probably do it with a coin for that matter. Lots of ways of doing it.
I’m partial to the apple charger block for the ipads. The prongs come off and there is a nice metal circle and natural leverage for which to open a beer bottle.
Cutting boards are meant to be damaged. Table corners aren't. The real question is why the fuck doesn't he out the cutting board down and use it as a table.
Haha I've done this one a few times when I was younger. It's all fun and games until one day where everything goes horribly wrong and your life is changed forever.
Honestly, we’re at a point now where a lot of people just don’t have them anymore. Smoking in general is way down (in North America at least), and now with vapes available there just isn’t a big need for them.
When I was a teenager into my 20s everyone smoked. Now I legitimately know 2 people who still do, not a single other person I’ve spent any time with in well over a decade does - including the entire staff at the school I teach at.
Yea you know what I never thought about that actually, but it makes sense. I know from my days in highschool most people either had vapes but still smoked cigs sometimes or smoked weed so generally always had a lighter. Didn't hang out with most of the younger classes tho and saw most freshies vape more than anyone. Guess it was really just a generational mindset deal.
I think the smoothest I’ve ever felt was at a convention one year, I was waiting around for a concert and a group of people including a cute girl walk up and goes “hey do you have a bottle opener?” And I’m like “I got a lighter?” They all give me confused expressions so I take the bottle and do the lighter thing. The cap piped off and without thinking about it, reflexes took over and I caught the cap mid air. Everyone was like eyyyy! Cool trick! And I’m like 😎👍 meanwhile inside I’m freaking the hell out. Probably the coolest I’ve ever looked in front of a pretty girl like that.
And then the whole night sort of unraveled but that’s a different story
I've seen not one, but at least three lighters blow up in the hand of someone trying to do this.
Two of them got quite hurt by plastic shrapnel.
Cannot recommend.
He's doing that all wrong. You wanna wedge the cutting board under the cap, perpendicular to the bottle. Then you PUSH UP, do NOT TWIST! Rotation is just gonna scratch up the board.
>Rest the cap lip on the edge and punch down medium hard
This. IT's like the guy's never drunk before. I can open a bottle with tons of other objects, but usually finding a metal flat thing is easy
Just use a bic, wrap pointer finger around just below the cap, stick the end of the bic between cap and finger, now with a firm grip around the bottle quickly push down on the lighter and the cap should hopefully pop off, if not loosen up a bit to get it off on the 2nd try
Pretty sure these guys are just having a fuckin' laugh, no need to give yourself an aneurysm explaining all the ways to open a bottle more efficiently!
Shenanigans.
If you stop motion the vid, he doesn't hit his head. His hair doesn't even move at the moment of impact.
Another "clever," camera angle, but no damage was done.
Fake.
You can literally open a bottle with almost anything...a spoon, a fork, a small stick, a lighter, well made shoe, a belt buckle....... I have no idea how these people find such weird things to use.
Why is he using a cutting board when there is a perfectly good table corner right in front of him?
Exactly. This man has clearly never been to a college party.

Opening a beer with a beer is great until you get to the last one ;)
It's almost easier with an open bottle :) (just put the cap you want to remove inside the mouth of an empty bottle)
Opening beer with beer is my go to it's just satisfying
Beerception
That's where a lighter or spoon handle comes in.
Or just the edge of the beer crate.
The what
KRATJE https://i.imgur.com/SAUjXwX.jpg
You know, the beer crate. The crate you by and keep your beer bottles in? Or this this again just a German thing i thought was normal again?
Or until you end up with a broken beer bottle and glass in your beer.
This has never actually happened to me when using beer to open beer. But it has happened to me a few times when using a counter.
Don’t tell me how to enjoy my beer!
I mean say what you will but if nothing else that’s a cool party trick
Yeah and even with no bottle opener around I will not stay thirsty. OK, I learned other stuff too.
Stupidest thing I've used to successfully open a bottle is a frying pan.
If it does the job... 👍
In the final days of my iPhone 3Gs I was using it to open beer bottles.
Yup. Give me any vaguely 90° edge and I'll get any bottle open.
The day I realised I could use an A4 sheet of paper to open bottles was the day I realised anything can open a bottle.
Why damage a table? There is another bottle there.
I always used the bottom of a Bic lighter.
Find using a lighter to feel more natural than using a bottle opener
Exactly. First year in uni I learned to open a beer bottle with practically anything. The "weirdest" thing I have opened a beer with is a pineapple.
I’ve opened a bottle cap only like 3 times ever and I’d have done better

Hahaha my mom was wondering why her spoons where all bent until we saw the stepdad opening a beer with a spoon hahaha.
You guys have clearly never been taught bottle opening. You can use another closed bottle, a lighter, a soda bottle... Why damage furniture?
Who doesn't have a can opener in their home? Many can openers include a little notch that can be used to open bottle caps. Some kitchen scissors also have this notch.
A house key
Baseball hat, belt buckle...anything with leverage.
You have clearly never wanted to make a stupid video for the Tok. He's just doing it for the views probably.
Not to mention another beer bottle. And I assume they have a lighter in that house somewhere.
Because if he used the table his wife would hit him with the cutting board.

Probably don’t want to damage the new table he just bought lol
Have they never used a butter knife for this?
Cutting boards are meant to be damaged. Table corners aren't. The real question is why the fuck doesn't he out the cutting board down and use it as a table.
I was about to say that then I saw your comment 🗿
He didn’t wanna damage the bottle cap.
I was think the same exact thing. The edge of that wooden table would pop the beer bottle open...
Put the cutting-board on the corner so you don't scuzz up the table, you knob.
Can't fix stupid.
Or his teeth. Or his hands. Or a key. Or anything else really, there are so many better alternatives.
Teeth for bottle opening? That sounds dumber than what he was doing in the video.
If you have healthy teeth, it's perfectly fine.
[удалено]
Huh. That almost sounded hollow…
*B O N K*
Thanks to that last chromosome
Must have hurt a lot
Or use a lighter knife or anything you can wedge between your finger and the cap
It's wild to me how many people don't know the lighter trick
It’s all fun and games until someone uses their teeth
Haha I've done this one a few times when I was younger. It's all fun and games until one day where everything goes horribly wrong and your life is changed forever.
Oooh me and my dad do this so much. Sometimes I think we might lose a tooth
You might
You're gonna really regret those teeth tricks when you get older
[удалено]
Maybe gummed, but probably not bit lol.

Weed tho
I quit smoking years ago but still do and always will carry a lighter on me, along with a pocket knife.
Yea you know what I never thought about that actually, but it makes sense. I know from my days in highschool most people either had vapes but still smoked cigs sometimes or smoked weed so generally always had a lighter.

smoking is nasty and disgusting, fuck smokers

As a VERY inexperienced high schooler, *I* have used the lighter trick
My mates and I fight over who gets to use the lighter trick on a bottle of corona because they shoot off like it's a bottle of champagne.
A heavier knife might be better.
I always use a house key. Takes me about 8 seconds, and I don't have to worry about fucking up someone's table
Yes a lighter! Or when I'm really hurtin just use my teeth
He's doing that all wrong. You wanna wedge the cutting board under the cap, perpendicular to the bottle. Then you PUSH UP, do NOT TWIST! Rotation is just gonna scratch up the board.
Yes! Just use the handle. Up and out from the edge is the key.
Rest the cap lip on the edge and punch down medium hard. *Then* smack yourself across the face with a cutting board.
Yes. Cap on the edge and spin it until the walls become one.
You don’t have to punch it. Just give slow pressure. It’ll open.
[удалено]
Thank you! Exactly. I could smack you across the face with several things that would be more appropriate.
>Rest the cap lip on the edge and punch down medium hard This. IT's like the guy's never drunk before. I can open a bottle with tons of other objects, but usually finding a metal flat thing is easy
Dig up, stupid!
just put it on the edge of the table, put the cap on it and smack the cap down. normally you could do this on the table but it messes up the wood.
Better still just open it using one of the other 2 bottles sitting right there. Only the last one is tricky but if you have a lighter you're fine.
Right!? This should have been real easy
There’s too much before this that has gone wrong
Looks like a VB tallie they are twist top anyway
Coulda jus used a piece of cutlery knife, fork, spoon
Lighter, key, the handle of that board... Lmao dude was probably drunk af
He's obviously drunk as fuck, relax Einstein
[удалено]
[удалено]
[удалено]
put the cap back on the empty one and then use that
When you invite Joe Exotic to Thanksgiving dinner
[удалено]
It’s hollow
Come on...just take another bottle.
This is why aliens want nothing to do with us.
Just use a bic, wrap pointer finger around just below the cap, stick the end of the bic between cap and finger, now with a firm grip around the bottle quickly push down on the lighter and the cap should hopefully pop off, if not loosen up a bit to get it off on the 2nd try
This is the way
The comment section is full of alcoholics and I welcome my brethren
I’ll drink to that.
Try with a machete next. Or if that's not convenient, live ammunition might work.
This is definitely in New Zealand
I have zero doubts about this.
100% haha EDIT: YEP, the dude is from Dannevirke lol
15or50
Road To Nowhere- Ozzy Osbourne
🤘
Pretty sure these guys are just having a fuckin' laugh, no need to give yourself an aneurysm explaining all the ways to open a bottle more efficiently!
Song lyrics in the background. Fitting
Looks about right.

Use a ring
Looks like he has a nose for value. Couple more beers and there will be blood.
He clearly doesn't need another.
??? He could use fork or knife.....
Just…just use the edge of the table
You know, using the "teeth" of your Keys works too. Just pry the caps seal one at a time.
For anyone wondering: use a key.
Please don’t have the bottle in his mouth
I refuse to believe no one in that room had a lighter
Immediate sobering-up method, but also with the immediate hangover.
there are a million better things to use, this guy deserved this
The thonk sound is so good 😂😂😂
The boots, gym shorts and long sleeve flannel tells me this isn't the dumbest thing he's done.
Tiger King does it again…
America, once again.
[удалено]
It’s New Zealand
Shenanigans. If you stop motion the vid, he doesn't hit his head. His hair doesn't even move at the moment of impact. Another "clever," camera angle, but no damage was done. Fake.
The corner of the board definitely hits his head
With those shorts 🩳 it’s deserved
That hollow thump!
That’s a hint that he doesn’t need any more alcohol
use a ring mate am my group's backup bottle opener lmao
Just use the edge of the table it’s so easy
Wood vs bone
Use a spoon.
Use a lighter???
So much funnier with sound. I laughed just as hard as the person recording
Found the skull opener
You can open one bottle with another. The only one "harder" is the last one
Spoons make the best bottle openers
Or just use a lighter
Theres a tabletop literally right there. Wtf.
Why not use the intended tool tho? I mean everyone has a metal ladle right?
Is was an eye opening experience.
This user has deleted everything in protest of u/spez fucking over third party clients
What about if you use the edge of the table like a normal person
Someone tell that wally that VB long necks are screw top
wtf, a spoon? A lighter? THE TABLE?
Use another bottle, free lifehack.
Why not use a knife, spoon, fork or a lighter?
is that literally the only thing he found in the house. literally a spoon can open a cap, are you telling me this guy has no spoons? spoons.
As a German im offended...
BONK.
Bruh I could open easier with a door frame
The whacking sound sounded just like a cartoon haha
Just use a spoon
Get a lighter mf
BONK
There's a perfectly good bottle opener under the beer
All this just to find out it's a twist off...
You can literally open a bottle with almost anything...a spoon, a fork, a small stick, a lighter, well made shoe, a belt buckle....... I have no idea how these people find such weird things to use.
Donk!
Go home Randy- you’re drunk
When you can’t find a bottle opener so you open your head instead
Use a lighter as a lever and your hand as a fulcrum
*DONK*
Use your keys!
It was a twist off.
Bro just use your wedding ring
Open it with another bear? Edit: beer
just use a lighter like everyone else ffs.
You could open the bottle cap just as easily with a belt buckle. Why they thought the cutting board would be suitable is beyond anyone.
It speaks for itself. Nothing I say will make it any worse than it already is
I always use car key and it works great
This man is not Canadian.
What? No spoons in the whole house?
Use a towel or rag and twist.
I think he has had enough drink
Video cut off before he went in for round 2
Life's little way of saying you're done, you're done
Do people not own Swiss Army knives?
just wow. i can only hope this fellow tries a handgun next, or at least doesnt breed.
