[koalaquests]

Hello my fellow friends who love scary videos like me 😎❤️ edit: Mr bean on a ship 9:13

[alexantoniades]

"I'm surrounded by idiots!"

-Rozhestvensky probably

[wadekernan]

Disclaimer: No Japanese torpedo boats were harmed in the making of this story.

[WillitResolve]

One of my favorite parts about this story is how the perpetually-composed John Ballen is struggling to keep from laughing.

[keymaster]

If "I am my own worst enemy" was a naval fleet.

[gigibythesea]

The dislikes are the Baltic Fleet mistaking Mr Ballen for a Japanese torpedo ship.

[IDK-uumt]

There are 2 things certain in life:
1) Death
2) It isn’t a Japanese torpedo boat

[fae.itaril]

I absolutely CACKLED at this story, multiple times. This is one of, if not the most ridiculous story I've ever heard, and your narration just made it that much more enjoyable!
Please, PLEASE do one about the Great Emu War!

[Alex_Hetherington]

I love how that one boat is always like "JAPANESE TORPEDO BOATS!!!! GET and it's literally anything BUT JTB 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[suzanvaughn]

It would seem the most important training exercises should’ve been, “How to identify a Japanese torpedo ship.”

[playdoh]

I thought the nicknames, "manure sack" and "vast empty space", were a little cruel at first but then I heard the rest of the story..

[Haunted_Peru]

This story gets better and better with each telling and hearing. They should make a movie out of it.

[armmagedonepox]

13:30 How the hell do you ACCIDENTALLY say that?? How do you jump from “We are Okay!” to “Do you see Japanese Torpedo Boats?” I’m dying 😂😂😂

[FraZzJ]

Morons: *Shoots at EVERY civilian boat they see*
Also Morons: *Assist the ONE enemy boat that actually approaches them*

[natashamhone]

The admiral had the patience of a saint....
Imagine being at sea for 7 months and dealing with complete idiots..

[PotawatomiThunderNew]

This has gotta be the most incompetent group of people to ever exist.

[StitchingUpChaos]

Watched this with my spawn and his take is "it's a deadly circus on the sea! with the benny hill theme playing in the background lol" Mine is that i genuinely can't believe that Rozhestvensky (or Captain Dad as I ended up calling him) didn't have the entire crew of the Komchatka ritually sacrificed to appease the angry gods. We kept having to pause the video to cackle maniacally.

[thyatradayatora]

This story is literally just “But wait! There’s more!” in all the worst ways lmao.

[CoolingKhan]

This is literally a personification of

“you had one job”

[jasonmalone]

I just showed this to my mom and she wants to wait it again!😂 She’s going through radiation treatments now and is usually feeling bad or in a bad mood, but she laughed so hard at this it was hilarious! Thanks Mr Ballen. The way you tell stories is brilliant!❤
