you are a good storyteller.

A new twist on an ancient classic. I like it!

This guy reminds me of my ex husband. He was not a pleasant man.

You are gonna get sued OP.

technoviking accepts your water

After all these years, I still don't know the real story behind this or if we know the true words spoken here. What is this !?!!?

I don't know why technoviking sued the guy who filmed this. This is a good representation of character. He advised the bully to respect her.
AlmightyDylon
That guy made 10grand off the vid but didn't pay trchnoviking. So he sued for rights
Sharangir
He didn't want to become a public figure.
FluffyTheDestroyer
Can someone find the original and change the bottle to a snickers bar?
BabyFarkMcGeeZax
So much better with sound!

Ragnar is the fucking man.
IMostlyCommentWithGifsSometimesPics
I remember watching this for the first time as a kid. Thought he was cool af and still do.
QueefMalone
He is out there and that's enough for me.
SavageRum
always upvote Technoviking.
ImadeThisAccountCuzComics
Two things. I've never seen this from the beginning so thank you for that, and 2 I like how he's most likely high on X but his Viking 1/2
psein
It's common sense to tell people to respect others, which is what he does in the original video, not this macho-ass-shit.
psuedon
original https://www.youtu.be/UjCdB5p2v0Y he's a body builder https://youtu.be/erfaoV_zVQc named Paul George
ImadeThisAccountCuzComics
Honor wouldn't allow her to be shoved like that.
M4nFle5h
Don't mess with the viking on drugs. He look like he could snap you in two
teflonhybrid
Forever he will get upvoted.
CheshiresShadow
If he started his own religion I'd gladly follow it.
meapplejak
He get's the people moving.

Gladly or not, you'd have no choice.

He actually sued the camera man for uploading this to youtube... he's ashamed at what he did there (sorry to ruin your dreams)
JavaYoMama
Probably because not everyone is proud of putting their hands on anyone. I know big guys who hate to showcase strength like this.
vh12372
That makes sense. Even if you're just fooling around with your buddies, i really hate the whole Play fight stuff. I know at some point i'll
vh12372
Hit to hard, and that won't be fun for anyone. I hate causing injury, even if it is Small.
Dinnerplatenipples
What did he do wrong?
yourCleverUsername10
He might feel bad for being so aggressive with that guy. People don't usually want to be a bully, they just wanna protect vulnerable people.
ThisIsTheLastTimeIChangeUsernamesIPromise
I've always viewed this as him being protective, albeit in a very heavyhanded way. He might interpret it differently himself though
talos2
He was on drugs in that video.. he changed his life and this video reminds him of his past... link in the next message:

Back when life was a bit more simple and less scary. Late 90s/early 2000s was the perfect time to be alive.
psein
How was it less scary?
LiveBackwards1911
We had TechnoViking to protect us.

technoviking never gets old
cellphonecat
SmellOfMonkey
We all get older, he stays the same rave
DetectiveSherlockHolmes
Some say he gets younger
awildcharmander
I wish he was a cooler person :<
SatoriEnlightenment
That's because this is a digital image from the year 2000
cat7e
But it gets smaller.
Imalwaysready
But it seems he did get a lot smaller.
waltjrimmer
But he did get old. And he apparently doesn't like his internet fame.
gutwrenchinglyfunnyusername
IIRC he's also now he's also now living with that guy he had words with
samanthajc
that was entertaining hoax

Technoviking cannot escape the glory of technovalhala even in life, even though he shuns it.
ianrl337
Bah, the man may get old, but Technoviking will live forever.
EndersGameofThrones
Technoviking is an idea. A man can get old. An idea cannot get old.
daewookie
well put! XD
HinamilGreyworks
Nothing ever truly dies on the internet, it just fades from site.
lncorrectGrammerNazi
Was that a pun?
HinamilGreyworks
Yup.
destess
I remember that, but I don't remember specifics... Didn't he get on the news or something and he threatened to sue or something?
Heroasteral
I have a link to an article on a post I made
destess
Or something?
OptimusToaster
Someone was making a profit off the name without his permission
Engle507
He did sue, look up Keith Jardine
waltjrimmer
I can't recall specifically. He did try to get the video taken down, but it had spread too far. There was a whole documentary, I think.
waltjrimmer
This might be it, but I don't have time to confirm: https://vimeo.com/subrealic/technoviking

SatoriEnlightenment
Haha. The censorship is a perfect cut out shadow.
Moobbles
He sued. Won. Cleaned the guy out - or so he said. Abiut 10k. Videographer set up a GoFundMe account. Didn't gain much traction.
Pendryn
Didn't he mention this ruined his life or sonething? I thought I'd seen that at some point.
impostersquall
How can this ruin his life
GenericFacebookComment
I'm pretty sure he said this was the end of a drug filled party weekend, where he was spun out and sleep deprived.
MealeaYing
Because it made him famous against his will and that can be a nasty thing to have happen to you. Basicly everyone knew who he was suddenly.
daewookie
True.
AnalSexInTheWoodsDontMakeBabies
Didnt ruin his life. He's just an asshole and tries to sue whoever shows the video.
TormentedPenguin
Guy tried to make money off this video without permission. TV won the suit.
GoatNipples
Ruined his life? Please, a guy like this won't be brought down that easily.
RepostFromLastWeek
The fact that other people profited financially from his likeness is what fucked him up. Not the video.
LordofTheFiggs
He met the guy who him the water this day! He is still his boyfriend so I wouldn't say so
DickDastardly404
I don't think it was that, he just didn't want to be known online, and didn't like other people making money off his likeness. Fair enough.
shimmernshine
The guy who tried to profit from his likeness without his permission is worse off.
Meludan
Nah, it didn't ruined his life. He sued the artist who made the video and earned money with it and some merchandise. He got 10.000€ 1/2
Meludan
Artist had to put down the video but nowadays it's impssible to delete everything. At work some recognize him as Techoviking rarely 2/2

Piobairchd
That article was atrocious and arrogant
IrishPokeball
Its a particularly shite article in fairness.. usually they're quite funny.
IrishPokeball
Waterford Whispers is like an irish version of The Onion. No harm meant, all in jest! :)
Oscarwildebastardson
Yeah. He probably drowned in pussy after that video went viral. That’s probably how.
cupcakBaroness
Erm I'm pretty sure it's cock and ass he wants to drown in
furriephillips
Right on - he’s totally gay, dude. I listened to a podcast where they went to meet him & he picked them up at the airport & drove them to
furriephillips
his house, “to meet TechnoViking”, but it was him all along & they had no idea. I think it may have been This American Life, maybe?
BaconFlavoredChemicalPuffs
It didn't ruin his live but he was not happy that he got nothing out of his viral rise, and other people did.
Ivain
it probably did fuck him up, but if it got too bad, changing his hair and beard style would make him unrecognizable to a casual glance
confanity
Sure, probably, but it's also sad to have to redo your identity because of something some random assholes are doing.
JHawke
All this man needs is a amon amarth shirt and everyone would just assume he is random metal head #6.
jeemoo
Also wearing clothes.

Of course there a wiki !!!
Kiriande
Seriously? He also made a documentary? Annoying pos needs to make his own content...
billymaditsdone
You should watch the documentary. Was great.
1metalnation
...re-read that article. The original videographer id's the one who made the documentary
Kiriande
Yes. Exactly. That's what I was referring to. Instead of thinking of sth else, he just HAD to make a doc about this guys, after being sued.
Asatani
I remember something about this, too. I think he tried/succeeded in suing the guy that uploaded this/tried to market it. Someone Google it.
VigorousButtstuff
I'm okay with this ruining the guy's life. Dude ran into someone. Honest enough mistake, and the asshole decided to go all "I AM TEH ALPHA".
ChuckWeiss
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Techno_Viking He sued and won.

ryanjoseph666
Havent read the wiki page but i thought the claims about that were just fake news? is that wrong?
ChuckWeiss
The wiki cites a number of sources. I can't speak to their validity though.
kewlchey
It's true. Here's the documentary created by the guy holding the camera: https://vimeo.com/140265561
TK421isAFK
Fuck, and they say that we Californians are lawsuit-happy.
ChuckWeiss
He distributed and profited from his image without permission. Sounds like a pretty legitimate complaint no matter where you're from.
TK421isAFK
In the US, you don't have a right to your image in public. If you dance in a parade, your image can be sold as original art.
shhep
Yeah, I mean his image was posted literally everywhere without his consent. Before viral and meme were things. It must've been really fkn
Ryebread91
Guess that makes him one of the original memes then.
shhep
harsh on him.
BumFacedGoat
Memes have been ‘things’ since before the www...just not in this context (I know what you meant though, I’m just horribly pedantic).
shhep
Yes, that was quite horrible of you. ;)
donkeymoney
Is not this (and all other web content featuring real people) protected by the fact it was filmed in a public area,so camera guy owns it?
HappyTheKangaroo
In US you still need consent if you’re going to profit I think. Everything my kids sign up for has a clause about picture rights.
donkeymoney
Hmm. I hate how hired photographers use your images for marketing purposes.
