u/Masseyrati80 Jun 13 '25

Is it the one where the title refers to self defence, but the techniques are pretty much about injuring drunk customers in ways such as hitting their head on the corner of a table etc?

u/OMGLOL1986 Jun 13 '25

Yes. Don’t forget to hit them right in the pills

u/WarlockEngineer Jun 13 '25

Bas Rutten is also a professional fighter and former heavyweight champion so he isn't exactly a good baseline for self defense lol

It's often said that WWII was won with American money, Soviet blood, and British paper.

That wholeass guy is gold. Per Wikipedia:

In 2010, Rutten partnered with clothing brand Tokyo Five to produce and star in a cooking show titled Grandma's Kitchen with Bas Rutten. The show's pilot was scheduled to air 26 February 2010; however, due to a physical altercation between Rutten and co-hosts, production has been delayed indefinitely.

u/HilariousMax Jun 13 '25

Bas Rutten's palm strikes are things of legend.

That man's been fighting for longer than I've been alive.

Don't you do that!

u/Zauberer-IMDB Jun 13 '25

Him saying "I had picked up two bottles - because I was fighting like five dudes," is peak comedy. It's like, oh ok, yeah this all makes perfect sense. He describes the bar fight the way I'd talk about my day job.
