Clumsy Reporter + Jenga Tower = Hilarity.

Posted by Alex in Video Clips, World Records on August 28, 2006 at 10:23 pm


After two weekends building a 7-foot tower of Pisa using over 12,000 Jenga blocks, Northern Michigan University student Bryant Varney was looking forward to getting a representative from Guiness World Records to come and check it out – but first, he has an interview with the world’s clumsiest reporter. You can guess what happened next …

Actually, before y’all point it out in the comment: it’s a setup – Bryant is famous for building large structures out of Jenga blocks (see Sears Tower in Jenga Blocks, previously on Neatorama), then have it all torn down in a spectacular crash. Mike Varney is the vice-president of NMU, and the tower was rigged to come down… Still, all-in-all, a very good clip.

    Oh it's staged?! I remember seeing this a while back and my heart nearly stopped. I felt really bad for the guy.

    It was a gag video made for a "Comedy Zone" fundraising evening for the local chamber of commerce. The builder was in on it, and he's built some even more spectacular models. Check it out at http://faculty.nmu.edu/ims/jenga.htm
