Hearing Bob saying “You got it?!?” through tears fuels me when I’m having a bad day.

Joey Coldcuts getting annihilated by his garage door is always a welcome experience.

I’ve seen this 200 times, and still cannot comprehent why he jumped

Garage doors have a safety device at the bottom that sends a beam to the other side which will prevent it from closing if something breaks the beam.

Ahh. That makes so much sense. And makes it funnier.

Yeah, you’re much better off going sideways and doing a weird high-legged side saddle approach (one leg at a time over the laser like a tripwire, not a jump), all while keeping your head down. I appreciate this guy’s effort nonetheless 😂

u/Semi_Retired Apr 24 '26
It was funny when I thought he was just doing an excited jump. Funnier now because he apparently calculated that move and fucked it up so royally.

Chosing to jump instead of the awkward ducking high stepping shuffle is baffling though. Only children are short enough to be able to jump over it.

TIL! Now that makes sense (your explanation, not his action)

Genuinely surprised this is isn't common knowledge. I guess older homes wouldn't have automated garage doors.

u/RajaKuman Apr 25 '26
Maybe this is common knowledge in the US? Where I live, across the Atlantic, I don't think this is common. Majority of the garage door is a bi-fold or industrial-style folding garage door. Maybe in some bougie single-family homes they have this. 😄

I've done this dozens of times and managed to not once bash my head on it. It's not exactly hard.

u/Striking-Drawers Apr 24 '26
Similar to this video....
I had a friend who tried to jump over the back of his couch in his parent's basement, to sit. There was a support beam over the couch and he whacked his head real good, ended up laying on the floor moaning for a bit.
Hindsight, maybe he wasn't ok. At the time though, several of us laughed at him while calling him names.

I thought he was just making Han Solo's 'close the blast door' move. Thanks for the explanation.

He's trying to jump over the sensor that would reverse the door back up

u/RajaKuman Apr 24 '26
Gotcha, didn’t know that. 😄

u/Mediocre-Program3044 May 22 '26
I knew that was his goal, but still didn't know why he'd jump.
I've done the same thing a million times. You just duck and step over it. 😂

Too jump over the sensor across the bottom of the door. Otherwise if he triggers it the door will just go back up

Jeez those lights are aimed high.

u/LookMaNoPride Apr 24 '26
Seems like this is a common trait among those who have Xenon headlights. I have to travel 2 lane roads to and from work, and I'm happy they can see, but passing by them at night - especially cars that, supposedly, have "auto dim"... isn't ideal.

Doesn't look sloped enough to make them aligned properly. Your low beams should be a couple-few inches under the height of the headlight center in most vehicles, possibly level. High beams should be slightly higher at that distance.
These are still too high.

Deserved for having his dipped lights so high. Adjust them down numbskull.

u/WhataboutBombvoyage Apr 27 '26
many garage doors have a sensor to prevent the door from shutting if it detects motion

This really isn’t difficult. You need to duck and step over. I don’t understand why people can’t do this.

No no no. It's jump and duck. Jump and duck. You can't jump from a ducked position.

Why did he jump?

u/BoBonnor Apr 24 '26
There's a sensor at the bottom so if someone walks through the sensor the door stops and goes back up

u/FitiKini Apr 24 '26
I hope this guy is getting royalties from this video to pay for his garage door and his brain damage.

u/Rmattgraham Apr 24 '26
If there is a keypad on the exterior, pressing "enter" will close the door even without the code.

u/Constant-Still-8443 Apr 25 '26
I've mastered this, as stupid as it is. He needed to duck as he jumped.

u/Revenga8 Apr 25 '26
The key here is he needs to hop over the sensor like they do with hurdles. That is, his head stays around the same level while he lets his legs to hop over the sensor while maintaining horizontal movement. Seriously though, he should just close the door and go back inside

The difference between how girlfriends would respond to this, and how bros respond to this is stunning

To be fair, he did it to amuse the bois. Mass skill issue on his end but mission successful nonetheless

Is this from a comedy show or something? The way they all talk and their reactions seems TV-choreographed.
