The Art of the Crotch Shot

I don't think it's a stretch to say that seeing guys getting hit in the crotch is, like farts, always funny. However, not all crotch shots are created equal. The following is a series of videos dissecting what I think makes for a groin-grabbingly good time and, what doesn't.

First of all, whenever you see someone set up in the absolute perfect spot to be hit in the crotch AND a camera is running, odds are, the crotch shot will underwhelm. It looks completely set up and odds are, someone is wearing a cup. The one exception is the brilliant pool trick.

Of course, there are other scenarios where the crotch shot loses it's impact. Take anytime there is a skateboarder/rollerblader trying to ride a rail or just trying to balance on anything narrow at all. It's just expected that something will go wrong.

The same goes for anyone playing with nunchucks.

You'd think they'd learn to wear a cup at this point. Finally, whenever an adult decides to randomly punch another in the crotch on purpose. All this does is prove that the assaulting party is, pardon the pun, a dick.

Yes, it's clear that the best crotch shots are the surprising ones. The ones that, even though you know you are watching a video of someone getting hit in the groin, you are still surprised at HOW they get hit. This is typically because no element of the assault is in control. There are too many circumstances out of his control.



Of course, it helps if kids are involved because they have no idea what they are doing at any time. And the more fun someone is having, the greater the comedy.

Here is a complilation video. Test out my theories for which hits are the best. The best part of crotch shots, though, is that they are nearly always funny, even the low quality ones.
