And the award for Badass of the Week goes to… this guy. Maybe we should name it “Steve Irwin of the Week” instead.

Of all the random videos I’ve posted over the past few months, this is definitely one of the best. The only complaint I have is that they wasted such a sick beat on a commerical. [via Thunder Treats]
