A recent video on Reddit titled "Can’t believe this didn’t work" has garnered significant attention, showcasing a boat loading attempt that went hilariously wrong. The video captures a moment of pure chaos, leaving viewers both amused and bewildered.

The video starts with the phrase, "I'm filming too!" setting the stage for what unfolds next. As the boat is being loaded onto a trailer, the driver decides to demonstrate the vehicle's torque by gunning it up the ramp. This decision quickly proves to be a mistake, leading to a series of comedic and cringe-worthy moments.

One comment sums it up: "Sure this was stupid, that goes without saying. BUT, why did the driver gun it?!" Another user humorously points out, "Maybe not the ideal time to demonstrate how much torque you have on that baby and go a little easy."

The video has even sparked comparisons to scenes from the satirical film "Idiocracy," with a comment asking, "Is this, Ow My Balls!? Is this a clip from Idiocracy?" Viewers also questioned the logistics of the attempt, with one comment reading, "Did they not know about the strap and crank handle on the trailer?"

Interestingly, the video seems to have taken place in Florida, as inferred from multiple comments referencing the state. One user humorously quipped, "Bob now has a camel TOW," while another added, "I mean, it probably would've been okay if the driver didn't gun it up the launch. I don't understand what happened to their strap though? How'd they get the boat there on that trailer?"

The crowd's reaction, or lack thereof, was another highlight. One viewer commented, "My favorite part of this video is how no one in the crowd reacted, but just stood back and watched how stupid everything was."

Despite the evident mishap, some believe the attempt might have worked under different circumstances. "While not the smartest solution, this absolutely would have worked had the driver just gone slow... Don't need a lot of strength to move a boat while it's floating. The man would have held, and once the boat actually sat on the trailer, the weight of the boat would have been enough to keep it on while they cleared the ramp."

The video serves as a humorous reminder of what not to do when loading a boat. As one user succinctly put it, "Do your core exercises, folks! Also... just don't do what they did."

Ultimately, this boat loading fail has become a viral sensation, with viewers around the world sharing a collective laugh at the antics of the driver and the resulting spectacle.
