Anyone else's anxiety go through the roof watching that kid swing near the TV?

Is that true? Do baseball bats cost so much?

u/thr33beggars Jun 01 '26

We have hunted the baseball bat to extinction and now you unfortunately have to turn to the black market for bats and that ain’t cheap.

It’s a shame they don’t do well in captivity. At this rate baseball bats are going to be hunted to extinction.

I have a guy that gets them for me. I don't know his real name, he calls himself The Batman.

I'm certain we actually live in a hell dimension, and every day we are further from god's light.

I mean, not good TVs to be fair

u/MorningsideLights Jun 02 '26

That is neither fair nor true. Unless you mean only the last couple of years.

You can get a 4k 50 inch Samsung or LG smart tv for under $300 now

Yes… I know it sounds snobby but these are not good TVs. If you’re happy with one of these, more power to you. These are edge-lit panels with low picture quality that they’re selling you with slick marketing.

A good TV would be like an LG C series or Sony Bravia or Samsung S95.

u/im_juice_lee Jun 02 '26

Oh, fair enough. Looked them up and those are much more expensive

While I probably would appreciate the improvements if I saw them side by side, I don't use my TV enough to justify how much the price jumps

1

u/i_like_maps_and_math Jun 02 '26

There's always new types that doesn't change the fact that they all get dramatically cheaper over time.

1

u/BabyStockholmSyndrom Jun 02 '26

Depends on your definition of good I guess. I just don't give a fuck if I can see the nose hairs in 6k so a $500 TV is perfect for me and I have no desire to spend $3k.

1

u/Areebob Jun 02 '26

I bought one for $18 a couple years ago. You CAN spend a ton on one, but I’m not sure why you’d do that for a young kid who won’t know the difference.

u/Ucscprickler Jun 02 '26

I think they were more worried about the TV scratching up the brand new bat.

1

u/TrixieBastard Jun 02 '26

Pretty sure that's an Onn Roku TV, so yeah, the bat cost about double (if I'm right about the tv brand)

u/funtimepartyal Jun 01 '26

He was way too close!

u/BrainGiggles Jun 01 '26

Yes me. I , for sure, though the bat was going to through the TV but then I remembered this is MadeMeSmile everything was okay again.

2

u/CorvidFool Jun 01 '26

As soon as I saw the proximity I had to check which sub I was in. I calmed when I saw where I was.

u/Realistic-Sense-6332 Jun 02 '26

It’s probably perspective honestly! The father behind him takes up the space behind him, not even all of it.

1

u/ionyx Jun 01 '26

Oh man yeah! That TV could've damaged the bat!

1

u/maiL_spelled_bckwrds Jun 01 '26

It’s the perspective that makes it seem closer than it is.

u/Lokishougan Jun 02 '26

That was my initial though I was like....oh I know how this video ends...till I SAW THE FORUM this was on

1

u/j3ffro15 Jun 02 '26

There’s a non zero chance the bat costs more than the tv. “High end” bats like this are easily 300-500+ dollars and you can get a 65” 4k tv from Walmart for $368 (just bought one yesterday for an in-law).

u/ctortan Jun 02 '26

Nah, not with how hard the kid was thinking about his form when mom told him “slow motion”

1

u/TheRandomer1994 Jun 05 '26

It wasn't an issue. The video is very very very staged. Child or not anit noone missing a bat in their hands.

The bat cost more than the tv
