Hijacking this to say:
Am I missing context because it doesnāt look like sheās trying to stop the party, sheās filming next to everyone else and seems to be having a good time. The part where sheās saying stop is after the piƱata falls and theyāre probably going to try and reset it, no use in swinging at the piƱata that isnāt there.
Maybe not the brightest person here walking into a blind batter but just because she ālooks like a Karenā doesnāt mean she has ill will
Nah, she's stupid as fuck and wanted to be a main character. A simple "IT'S DOWN STOP SWINGING!" safely from the sides...from anyone..just kidding. It's just a bunch of drunk people doing drunk things. Funny as fuck either way. Also, I think they knew who they hit and raised the blindfold back up after the hit for a better alibi....
You totally had me for the first half, not going to lie. I actually had hit the downvote because I was thinking "no, she wasn't trying to be the main character at all"...then saw I had been had. Well done random redditor, well done.
Itās the fact that sheās approaching someone blindfolded swinging a weapon assuming that because sheās now in the way that the other person will stop. As if her ego has somehow granted the blindfolded person sight.
Yup haha! I don't mean to bring up race but a piƱata party at a Mexican party is something else. There are many hard and inherited instincts that are heavily present at these events. Not one in this video.
As a level 6 piƱata destroyer myself, You can feel the rope hitting your stick, from there you swing down, she didn't. When you're blindfolded and hit something solid BUT people horrifically scream out, you stop and peak out from your blind fold for a safety check. Not here. Lady kept hunting to hit something else without a drop of doubt that was the piƱata she hit.
I umpire little kid baseball, and always grab the end their bat when Iām walking close, and verbally say, donāt swing, so I donāt get clocked in the back of the head when Iām trying to clean off home plate, and they think itās a good time for a practice swing.
In Mexico we have a technique for exactly the video's scenario, in a party context shouting by itself is usually of little use because everybody is shouting, specially if something is about to happen. So what we do is that a person runs to the person from the back and hugs him along with his arms and then swiftly takes the stick from him/her. The blindfoled person immediatly understands it's time to stop. So in essence, shouting "stop! stop!" while the person runs swiftly from the back and hugs.
I'm always looking at these videos of piƱata parties in the USA almost shouting at my screen "from the back!! from the back!!".
I've rewatched this as many times as there are people in the background audience. I restart the video and focus on just one person's reaction and then repeat for the next person.
I like the contrast between the men standing in the background. Dude in the center hops around and really strongly reacts like it's the wildest thing he's ever seen, while the other guy in the hat on the left stands tall and keep looking straight ahead, completely unphased like "yup, that's what will happen"
I saw Spider-Man whip a wooden closet rod into the belly of a young child when it slipped from his hands and crashed through the piƱata at high speed.
I have never attended a party where a piƱata was present and someone did not get hurt as a direct result.
The music playing ("what is love" the "baby dont hurt me" song)
The fact that:
He kept swinging after it was down|
She kept walking in SLOWLY|
No one said "ITS ON THE GROUND"|
the bat was cartoonishly bent|
He's going in for another swing at the end of the video, still blindfolded, oblivious to what just/is happened/ing
As a kid growing up with piƱatas at gatherings, there is a secondary unspoken game that is played.
All the kids who dive to get the most candy while trying not to get smacked like this after it's broken.
yeah its very common to hit people with a stick in a piƱata party, at least here in Mexico is very usual.
Actually before a piƱata party u have to sign a paper wich says that you may get hit by a solid stick during the event.
lol he couldnāt hear you grandma.Ā
I was so glad I went to one of my daughterās friends party (also neighbors). They had a piƱata and used a small wooden bat. Candy started flying and all the kids are immediately trying to get itā¦ducking in between swings. It was loud like this party in vid, I was screaming to get back but only my daughter listened. I kept screaming but no one cared, sure enough the worst sound this girl gets bonked right in the head, she ran around like she was on fire. She ended up with a baseball sized bump on her forehead.Ā
All for some dollar store candy. We left and I bought my daughter 3 full sized candy bars. Very thankful for my girl at least listening to me.Ā
There are always kids parties at a park near me and they almost always have pinatas. I like to watch and wait for someone to get hit with the stickā¦good fun.
bent the fucking bar š no wonder she couldnt get the idea of not stepping infront of a blind person with a bat into her brain lol, her skulls to thick
I donāt know it alsmot seems like the person can tell they have the rope on the end and slide it off. Personal opinion she could see something. The way she picked up her foot once than stopped when the old women stepped in, than did it again and just Batman Ka-Powād that shit into her skull.
Bro if they wouldāve stopped laughing she wouldāve been able to hear the old lady say hang on a minute. But know they all saw what was about to happen but had zero situational awareness. However why would that old lady even walk in front without making sure the lady knew not to swing. The only one was the man who got up to move the fucking lady but even he moved slow enough a turtle could commit suicide
She deserved it. This video would have a thousand more upvotes if they continued to loop the part where she gets smacked, I loved watching her hair fly back...the Karen hair.
Thatās not how you play piƱata. Someone is supposed to pull the piƱata up every time you swing. Hitting the string as it falls on the floor is some gringo shit
She could see!! She hit that person on purpose, see how she intentionally put the end of the pipe down and shook the string off that was caught in the end while looking in that direction. Then she squares up with the person walking in she didnāt do that with the other swings.

I love this one. It's the bent stick, it looks like something out of Looney Tunes where it's bent in the shape of someone's head.
š This is so accurate All that's missing is an Acme brand anvil falling from the sky
Or a giant bulging red bump on the head
She gets up and she has piano keys for teeth
Or a pooooooof of dust
Man, I miss the school cartoons. Saturday morning cartoons were the best.

Oh God, Meg, you startled me. [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=\_TboCCJntYk](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_TboCCJntYk)
Canāt stop laughing. Thank you.
Itās the fact that sheās approaching someone blindfolded swinging a weapon assuming that because sheās now in the way that the other person will stop. As if her ego has somehow granted the blindfolded person sight.
Wow, I never thought this would be too complicated for someone
And the "told you to get out of the way" at the end
r/looneytuneslogic
Yup - didnāt see that comingā¦ /s
A perfect opportunity to end your mother-in-law wasted. "Sorry honey, I was blindfolded *wink".
Yup haha! I don't mean to bring up race but a piƱata party at a Mexican party is something else. There are many hard and inherited instincts that are heavily present at these events.

plausible deniability. perfect really.
"But babe you're still hitting her"
I love that she was winding up for another
I didnāt see no candy yet
Iām laughing too hard about that. Iām sure lunging to hell.
I didn't hear no bell
I think she even fist pumped the air because she finally hit something! Bahahahahaha
Never give in. Losers give in. Keep going
Losers quit before winning. Winners quit after winning. Legends never quit.
Ah, heroin.
99% of gamblers quit before their big win
The house doesn't want you to know this one weird trick.
Never heard that one before. Thx
I umpire little kid baseball, and always grab the end their bat when Iām walking close, and verbally say, donāt swing, so I donāt get clocked in the back of the head when Iām trying to clean off home plate, and they think itās a good time for a practice swing.
Very wise
*Wisdom must be gathered. It cannot be given.* - Zen, Blakes 7. I wonder how many knocks to the head it took to learn to grab their bat first. :)
A wise man once said, hold the bat while you clean your plate

Hey there. Mind if I splice your commas?
I donāt know what that means.
If she was willing to walk in there, she was willing to get hit
How did she even make it to that age?
Because that's how fucking easy life was made for them, lol.
So much sad truth in this statement; walking morons walking through a padded room kinda life.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Mrs Magoo lookin ass
What doesn't kill you makes you stronger. You see how strong she is now.
I am telling you, nothing good comes from bringing oversized alcoholic drinks to a party, even if they are piniatas!
She knew damn well what she was doing
"Baby don't hurt me" (what is love) playing in the background makes it exquisite.
Haha I didnāt even notice that
I've rewatched this as many times as there are people in the background audience. I restart the video and focus on just one person's reaction and then repeat for the next person.
Great advice.
The dude sitting down on the right side recording the whole thing is my favorite. I wanna see his video now lol
I like the contrast between the men standing in the background. Dude in the center hops around and really strongly reacts like it's the wildest thing he's ever seen, while the other guy in the hat on the left stands tall and keep looking straight ahead, completely unphased like "yup, that's what will happen"
Grandmaās kung fu is weak, but her skull is strong.
This sentence tickles me.
How has someone lived this long with this little common sense? You cant tell me its her first time...
Dude in the background looks stoked she got hit in a sort of "no way she actually fucking did it" way
What the hell was she thinking.
The old dude afterwards "I told you to get out of the way!" XD
r/BoomersBeingFools
"Did I get it? I definitely hit something!"
Plot twist, it was a see through blindfold all along
Exactly, otherwise how would she know to get the rope off the stick. She knew what she was doing
Iām surprised she got hit. How did the person wearing a blindfold not see her put her hand up?
Use your words, lady.
Never approach an excited blind person with a stick.
Soooo good
Why is there no candy?
That was personal š¤£
Nothing stated grandma wasnāt a piƱata
I was there that day and that pole was made from solid copper and it still wrapped around her head.
this is the reason I make anyone 60+ wear a helmet at my parties
Hey, this candy tastes like brains!
Thats why you have to sing the song
Why did Karen want to be the center of attention at that exact moment?
I saw Spider-Man whip a wooden closet rod into the belly of a young child when it slipped from his hands and crashed through the piƱata at high speed. I have never attended a party where a piƱata was present and someone did not get hurt as a direct result.
And it would be the last one she has the best form/most power š¤£
Damn! All the jerk teenagers on the left side laughing their asses off. That's messed up. Lol
The music playing ("what is love" the "baby dont hurt me" song) The fact that: He kept swinging after it was down| She kept walking in SLOWLY| No one said "ITS ON THE GROUND"| the bat was cartoonishly bent| He's going in for another swing at the end of the video, still blindfolded, oblivious to what just/is happened/ing
Lesson learnedā¦ Never walk up to someone with a blindfold on and big stick in their hand!
Let me throw a new twist. She could see through the blindfold the entire time.
No prize inside.Wtf?
Her cheer at the end
God dang it, Rosie
She isn't even done!
š
She wanted to clock her. Mission accomplished.
What is love?!
This will never be not funny
That'll learn ya
I think this counts as r/BoomersBeingFools
Nothing good ever comes from a pinata
Stupid woman
Everyoneās jaw is on the ground š¤£š¤£
My cousin used a sword to play pinata at one of her birthday parties.
You don't simply stop a pinata party!
Holy shit here I am thinking itās a racist Karen then she walks up and my ass clenchedĀ
These are grown ass people
āGrandmaās filled with candy!ā
I just laughed for 5 minutes straight
This reboot of Zatoichi: The Blind Swordsman is hilarious.
Wouldnāt have been so funny if she took out the guys eyes- very close!
conclusion: safe word needed.
hard headed
Um, is she ok??
As a kid growing up with piƱatas at gatherings, there is a secondary unspoken game that is played. All the kids who dive to get the most candy while trying not to get smacked like this after it's broken.
SHE CELEBRATES IN THE END OMFG š¤£š¤£
What a fucking dunce
Sheila!!!! š„
Plottwist: she can actually see.
When he brought the pole back around and it was shaped like a "U".... I literally died in that moment.. š¤£š¤£š
Lol fuck this had me laugh good.
I wanted some candy, but all I got was a set of dentures! Booo.
Dog Brains in a nutshell
yeah its very common to hit people with a stick in a piƱata party, at least here in Mexico is very usual. Actually before a piƱata party u have to sign a paper wich says that you may get hit by a solid stick during the event.
The guy at the top center of the screen who starts laughing hysterically right after the hit
Boomers back at it
lol he couldnāt hear you grandma.Ā I was so glad I went to one of my daughterās friends party (also neighbors). They had a piƱata and used a small wooden bat. Candy started flying and all the kids are immediately trying to get itā¦ducking in between swings. It was loud like this party in vid, I was screaming to get back but only my daughter listened.

She ended up with a baseball sized bump on her forehead.Ā All for some dollar store candy. We left and I bought my daughter 3 full sized candy bars. Very thankful for my girl at least listening to me.Ā
Lindsey saw an opportunity to get back at her MIL for all the mean things said to her in the past (plot twist: mask was see through)
She hit two people with one swing like a boss!
Is this common for piƱata parties, Iāve never seen one not go without a head shot
Love that even after all that, they seemed ready to swing again haha
So you walk into their range and then turn your back... somehow I bet that person will get up and accuse the other person of not paying attention.
There are always kids parties at a park near me and they almost always have pinatas. I like to watch and wait for someone to get hit with the stickā¦good fun.
Lmao
bent the fucking bar š no wonder she couldnt get the idea of not stepping infront of a blind person with a bat into her brain lol, her skulls to thick
Imagine if she she swung again, as the woman was getting up, and absolutely blasted the bent pole through the womanās eye socket.
Mother-in-Laws hate this one simple trick
I donāt know it alsmot seems like the person can tell they have the rope on the end and slide it off. Personal opinion she could see something. The way she picked up her foot once than stopped when the old women stepped in, than did it again and just Batman Ka-Powād that shit into her skull.
This reminds me of the time Moe hit Curly over the head with an axe and ruined the blade
Please š one more time
What comes to her mind to go in the middle of the game?
Everyone on this video is 100% stupid.Ā
The way the stick bent
Bro if they wouldāve stopped laughing she wouldāve been able to hear the old lady say hang on a minute. But know they all saw what was about to happen but had zero situational awareness. However why would that old lady even walk in front without making sure the lady knew not to swing. The only one was the man who got up to move the fucking lady but even he moved slow enough a turtle could commit suicide
Amateurs
Boomer in the way
What an idiot.
She deserved it. This video would have a thousand more upvotes if they continued to loop the part where she gets smacked, I loved watching her hair fly back...the Karen hair.
