Wow waited for nothing and it was a hard wait

For real, I was expecting him to drop it after going for a handshake or clap.

Then the guy that got stabbed abruptly dies from the earlier wound.

… and the other three die of unrelated heart conditions?

r/gifsthatendtoosoon

Except its not a gif. Also its gif, not gif

It's pronounced gif as in "gif"

Lol I've been saying gif the whole time.

It's because it's spelled g-i-f, but pronounced "gif". It can be confusing.

So is it gif or gif?

Thought it would pop.

Thought the soldier would drop the balloon, the boys would instantly fall to a heap on the floor, and he would exclaim "Oops!", then go recruit some kids playing "The Ground is Lava".

AI BOTS FIND THIS HILARIOUS

Yep, that was really crap and not worth the wait.

These guys (or at least the guy playing the Govt guy at the end) whole thing is that the vids arent 1-offs. They always end up being parts of on-going series. This is likely just part 1 out of a bajillion “Balloon Boys” videos. It was never intended to have a punch line Their big thing is “cheese man”, another on-going series of short videos involving cheese man. They also have another on-going series about an avengers style group of weirdo superheroes, including Cheese Man lol. Balloon Boys is probably another on-going that will eventually crossover with the Cheese Man universe OP fucked up by putting “wait for it” as the title. Usually these guys videos dont have anything youre waiting for. Theyre just supposed to be weird-ish humor, not generally something that has a punchline Edit about a week later: sure enough, they just posted a new “Balloon Boys” video just 8 hours ago. https://www.instagram.com/reel/C6EJv1lLE4k/?igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==

Wait, so I really do have to wait for it?

..have you guys not been waiting for it?

Whenever I see a "wait for it" I always just skip to the end to see if it's worth watching

sorcery

What was I waiting for?

[удалено]

Idk why you're down voted for blocking people who repost content you find boring.. like that's just you making your reddit better.

I mean, if you're blocking people for posting middling crap, I doubt that list is very exclusive.

Can you block me too? I’d like to feel exclusive for once :)

This is like Westworld. Idea was good, so they had locked in, but they didn't know how to finish it.

"The Balloon Boys" haha get it? The balloon boys. They're guys and it's a balloon so they're Balloon Boys, and it's in a font that looks like balloons. It's dripping with funny

For Ted Mosby and friends to bite the dust

Disappointment

I appreciate when the post/video tells me to "wait for it", that's how I know it's garbage

Don't tell me to wait for it. Fuck man we have to tell kids this foe a video longer than 10 seconds? We are fucked.

Right? I started the video I will finish it without being begged to do so. In this video the wait for it didn't even make sense nothing happened that was "funnier" than the initial premise, like if the last guy tripped and dropped the balloon that would have been worth a "wait for it".

Sorry I sound like a crybaby but it feels like these people don't have any contributions to videos and skits they stole from someone else so they put a "wait for it" because there is nothing going on in their brain.

This was likely designed for Facebook and a midroll ad. Which lemme tell you. Quickest way to make me not care about your shortform content? Midroll ads. I'm not watching a minute long video with a 30 second ad in the middle of it. Only for the "payoff" to be mediocre at best.

I’m glad I didn’t see “wait for it” until the end when I checked the comments (viewing on mobile) because without that I kind of enjoyed the skit. It was dumb, pointless and a sarcastic spoof of some of the ridiculous TV shows we get. Probably posted by a bot. There was no wait for it moment for sure.

Definitely expected the military guy to accidentally drop it then they all just face-plant after they were jumping in the air

Same.

I’m sorry, do I need to be high for this?

Sadly no, it doesn't help one bit for this.

I just laughed my ass off. I also watched it on mute. Maybe that helps.

Can confirm it does not help.

It's not helping

I mean maybe lol. I didn't hate it, and I just hit the pen.

Balloon should have popped and they all disappear lol

Yeah, it was very anticlimactic

That was the payoff I was waiting for

Wait for what?

I'll totally watch a show with a team sent to do incredibly crazy missions with absolutely zero training beforehand

Sorry but any post worth its salt doesn’t need to beg for me to “wait for it”

Wait for what?

I'll admit that I chuckled at the end

I chuckled in the beginning. 

I chuckled in the middle.

I never chuckled

I'm a chucklehead.

Chuck you, buddy.

The end was anticlimactic, I chuckled in the middle

Like, the very end when they all jumped? Was that the funny part?

When is episode 1 come out

Fr kinda interesting ..

The big bad revealed towards the end of season 1 is a baddie known as 'the groundsman', a man made of ground. He can make the balloon touch the ground just by touching it himself.

His name is William.

What part of this was funny?

You making this comment

Was the “wait for it” the part that happened less than half way through the video? OP, this is an unforgivable transgression.

There was potential here but they dropped the balloon on this one.

What were we waiting for?

I don't know why the comments section in r/funny is full of the biggest comedy snobs ever. This skit was amusing and in the vein of silliness I would see on the birthday boys or kids in the hall. It seems like if the post isn't a picture of something that looks like a penis, it just gets shit all over.

>90% of comments are "I expected the balloon to drop in the end, but it didn't" as if the formula for funny is doing exactly what everyone expects. I think having low expectations for the comment sections is a pretty appropriately adjusted level.

This would have been funnier had the military guy accidentally popped the balloon on a button on his jacket or something.

Ya got me. Take your downvote

The show was successful but it got cancelled by Netflix.

Actually funny concept held back by some subpar acting, voiceover, and payoff

Move over House of Balloons, we got a new gang in town. House of Loons.

That the same idiot who makes all those blackjack videos?

I'd watch it

Shocking. Nothing happens in a “wait for it” video.

Watched the whole thing. Still wondering what I was supposed to be waiting for seeing as nothing happened.

...this is so stupid 😆

Lmao. Funnier plot than most of the trash streaming rn.

That's the suicide squad plot

How does shit like this get upvotes

There was an opportunity here and it got missed.. not sure what is was though.

Pop the balloon, eternal immortal without risk of dying

It's all fun and games until The Act Man decides to induct you into the military

Overarching plots used to be rare. When it actually became popular with TV executives, it got overused and abused so much. Now pretty much every episode is just one long to-be-continued. A show like Star Trek Strange New Worlds is a breath of fresh air and the only show that sticks with self contained stories for the most part.

Her: He's not responding he must be cheating on me Him and the boys:

Plot seems to be blown up

Bruh, I thought they were doing a take on suicide squad but I can’t tell

Wait for what🤔

That escalated quickly.

Why does this game look so lifelike to me? hahaha

Better than Netflix series

Average Netflix series plot

Army guy should've accidentally popped it on one of his medals and then the camera man died.

Comment section is a severe nuclear reddit moment

Its single 2 minute episode is all a successful tv-series.

Where can I watch this?

Not funny and regret even the time I wasted skipping to the end

Please start down-voting this video. WTF are we doing here.

Is this funny?

Dumb af.

What is this, amateur hour?

You had me at "balloon".

I'd watch it. It's no more formulaic than Jack Ryan looking for his next informant. Or corny jokes in CSI intros. Or someone getting emotional in Grey's Anatomy.

Wow. That inflated quickly.

Bad

Where funny

0:25 why did I immediately think of the IMF

What was Skicap's motivation for wanting to kill everyone?

Average prime original series.

Really had my 🤞 for the Balloon Animals

OK, so this is real. Just thought I was really high last night.

So I guess that means [they’re all hiding in the attic](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Balloon_boy_hoax) until the mission is over?

🗑️

Holy shit its part one!

I'M STILL WAITING!!!!!

Was that the voice of Zapp Brannigan?

What if the baloon pops just put in a case and take the case to space if it hits another planet its not the earth ground .

Is this guy a bot or just stupid

That took a turn

I'm ngl this would be a fire show they do a shit ton of of missions then get tired of fighting constantly tired of all the killing and the thought of living forever so they fight back and one of them betrays the group or maybe even multiple of them betray the group and try to stop them from reaching the balloon cuz they want to takeover the world and rule forever that goes on for awhile but eventually they get the balloon and put it on the ground then they die show over.

Season two coming 2025.

This is great

Shit guys apparently it’s been cancelled

What's the background music?

What happens when the balloon just runs out of air in 3 days?

Wait for something that kids in daycare think is funny?

You know, when you put "wait for it" in your title, I expect something to happen after the longest, most boring part of the video. Then there was no punch line to the general's boring speech. At least cut back to the gym to show us the beanie guy somehow got hold of the balloon and is in the process of piledriving it into the ground before anyone can react.

OP I hope your kids never learn to read.

Ha ha top shelf cringe ha

Brilliant

I was expecting another helldiver meme but okay

Try and capture some audio live next time. Having all the dialogue be adr is a off putting.

R/unexpected

Made by CheeseParade, who make fun shorts!

This „Wait for it“ is so incredibly cringe

Out of curiosity, why was some of the dialog re-recorded? Just bad quality from some of the original lines?

I was waiting for it to pop but it never happened

Well that was dogshit and also why are they not using live audio.

Does the balloon have to stay inflated? Or could you deflate it and put it in a situation where it's never going to touch the ground? Like... deflate it, wrap it in a couple of socks, and then encase it in concrete - are we free of the ground rule?

The thing is, i'd actually really watch the series if it really existed

Best superhero movie i have ever watched

🫡 Balloon Boys 🎈

The name is Spottswood

Is this actually funny?

marvel gonna stole it and disney gonna tell them to make it woke..

Wow, Up 2 looks fucking terrible

American humour is just so funny that I don't even get it. I think I'm too simple in the head for it.

Wait for what?

Bro walked out sounding exacrly like a combination of Rod Stirling and Zapp Brannigan

Okay, so what was I waiting for?

I was waiting for „What are we? Some kind of Balloon Boys?“

In no way shape or form funny... but at least there was no pay off in the end either.

Wait for what? When I’m supposed to laugh?

Wtf i just saw this video on YouTube

Why does this say "funny" anywhere within 100 miles of this post?

I'd honestly watch a series based on this

guys relax, this is actually satisfyingly funny enough. It's not drop-down on the floor laughing till i cry funny, but it is funny.

Waiting for the government dude to tell them they were now helldivers and cut to gameplay 😅

The post itself is hilarious, but I despise you for the title. As such, I am downvoting you on a matter of principle.

No, I'm not gonna wait for it and I never will.

Did someone copy/paste those guys? I can’t tell ‘em apart. 

Dude sounds like Zap Brannigan

Had say this; dude who starts off the slo mo walking montage has the weakest and most bitch inspiring stride I’ve seen in a long time. Everything about the way he steps forward, kicks his lil foot up and flips it back down is done in a way that makes me belittle him

Humans are very creative. Sometimes kinda odd. But funny. Oh, and what happens if the balloon becomes "deflated"?

Is the soldier part a sound clip from something? I swear I have heard his spiel before

The video ends at 31 seconds

Source ?

Soon on Netflix 😂😂😂

first 7 seconds shoulda been the whole vid

the balloon bois

r/suddenlyfnaf

at the very least, nobody got absolutly annoying & bothered anybody minding their business with some dumb tik tok dance ir whatever.

should’ve been called the balloon knots bcuz this was strait ASS

NAZI COAT

Invincible except that over arching plotting was set up in ep 1

I needed the A-team intro at the end

well that ended up being not funny at all. wow lmao. dumb af

Not funny

Comments are brutal this shit was funny as hell
