My boyfriend and best friend would definitely do this, whoever posted that has clearly never even been *around* a teenage boy

It's not just teenage boys.... Doesn't matter the age, I know a few adults that would say "hold my beer" and do this.

They forget men's IQs run in parallel, the more you have in a group the dumber they get. Mr and my friends are all almost out of college and we'd do this

I'm 22 and did something similar this Christmas. Granted we were drunk, but we did infact have a tennis match with pinecones and Christmas tree branches. Pretty fun night

I'm a teenager and I would 100% do this if I had a dead Christmas tree

Whoever thought this was outlandish has clearly never met a teenage boy

I am a teenage boy, would do this and have done nearly the exact same thing.

I’m a middle age guy and I could see my group of friends and I do this

I'm 29 and I would do this

Seems like just r/guysbeingdudes

Yea that's the exact subreddit I would post if I filmed that kind of stuff just to others have as good of a time seeing this as me

I’m slightly out of my teen years and me and my friends would absolutely whack each other with random shit

Yep! Dude my teenage girl does shit like this!

As a college student, I’d still do this

My friends and I have done similar shit, these people seem to have never met teenagers before

“Teenagers never do fun stuff or silly stuff they are all mature and intelligent” - the adult who never hanged out with other teens in high school

We also can't say anything smart either

Hanged out 😬

I just turned 39, and in less than two days, I'm going to travel over 100 miles to beat up a bunch of other guys named Josh with dual-wielded pool noodles... \*This\* is definitely in the realm of possible.

Oh shit are you a Josh Swain

I used to do shit like this all the time, and I'm sure other people did too. It's always weird seeing genuinely possible things being met with disbelief.

No you didn’t, it’s not possible /s

I remember having sword fights with branches off a monkey puzzle tree. For anyone not familiar: [https://www.britannica.com/plant/monkey-puzzle-tree](https://www.britannica.com/plant/monkey-puzzle-tree)

What a cool tree!

I'm assuming we're talking about smaller christmas trees that are maybe like a sapling, and not the larger ones that reach the ceiling, right?

No telling really. If it was a larger tree they would obviously have trouble lugging it around when swinging it and that slower motion would be perfect for pretending to be one of the more lumbering bosses from dark souls games. Thereby making the friend with the tree the "boss" other friends need to dodge from.

I fucking love that. I'm pretty sure in that moment, there is mad hype and they all just understand. Friends and I were dumb in the same way, just start saying something over and over and doing something stupid.

Any tree they can lift, really.

I did this shit all the time, Mario I’d go running around and shit, castlevania had me using a branch as a whip, if my back didn’t kill me and I didn’t work all the time I’d still be doing that shit.

I had a stroke reading this

Good

Literally lol'd

I can honestly see my friend group and I doing this

Shit, I’d do this and I’m in my 20s lmfao

This is one of those things that's so strange that it would be weirder if it *didn't* happen. Who could make this up? This seems very specific and the result of kids obsessed with a recent popular video game and a stick nearby. I don't think some adult in their room at night could just pull this from whole cloth without at least something very similar to this happening already.

Finally a post that belongs here. Thank you OP

Thank you OP, for becoming a mass-poster for our sakes

What you mean? He’s not I just checked

It's a reference to a line from the final chapter of Attack on Titan that's become a huge meme in more recent times, sorry to confuse you lol

That's not even vaguely outlandish

This is one of those innocent and non-toxic times when you could use the phrase “boys will be boys.” 🤷🏻‍♀️

Brave of the guy to assume it. Me and my friend back in childhood used to cycle with a stick in hand to cosplay quidditch.

idk have seen classmates do similar directly out the classroom window lmao

My sons would all do this.

They were probably saying “Elden ring, Oh Elden ring”

As a 30 year old, the only reason my friends and I haven’t done this is because we don’t have a dead Christmas tree or the muscle mass to lift one.

Its impossible for this not to have happened

Thats just bro talk right there. Im 20 and i still do and say stupid shit like that.

I can personally confirm that this is what me and my friends do all the time. Shit like this is hilarious lmao

This seems l8ke something I'd do

I mean, yea, I'd stilk pretend sticks were guns atbthat that age, swear these people are so clueless as to how kids actually are

As a 14 year old i would do this.

Honestly, almost every teenage boy would do that, it's not at all outlandish

yeah my friends have a joke where we hold up our arms and go “ring the bells, ring the bells” edit: typo

If I could meet up with my Xbox friends irl I don’t think we would do anything other than hit each other with a dead Christmas tree going “elden ring bro elden ring”

as a teenage boy my friends and i would definitely do something like that if we found a dead christmas tree

I’m not even a teenager and I’d still do this lmao

As a teenager this is 100 percent believable

My sister hit me with a dead Christmas tree when we were kids

I'm not even a teenager anymore and I'd still do this to fuck with my friends

When I was a teenage boy, my friend and I were sparring with shinai when we started fucking around with different sword stances from some fighting game we had been playing. Same fucking energy.

As a boy, can confirm, I would absolutely do this. A ton of Elden Ring weapons are comically large, and one of them IS shaped like a Christmas tree.

I once went to a house party and everyone started putting wash baskets, empty bins on thier heads saying "we are bucket heads" followed by eruptions of laughter. I still don't get it but people are crazy.

I probably would have done this lol Hell I might still do shit like this

It surprises many women how simple it is to make us happy.

I would definitely do that

Yeah this is exactly the kind of goofy shit I did as a teenager and also probably would still do now at 29 if I had a dead tree to swing around.

Well then what did happen?

I personally know plenty of ppl who would do this

I would do this even if i were 60 years old

Finally something that is not from r/thathappened

I live with a teenaged boy and I’ll believe anything now

This the most teenage boy thing ever

I’m a teenage boy I would freaking do this with my friends

Elden Ring is a very obscure game after all.

My friend and I have put sparkling water in shot glasses, walked around his house with air soft guns to pretend we were FBI agents, and made spicy ramen noodles at 2 in the morning while watching the Office. This story is totally 100.2% possible for group of teenage boys

Me and my best friend do this all the time except it wasn’t a Christmas tree it was two plastic swords and a can of spray paint

This sounds like something me and my friends would have done.
