The '''Brushfire Video''' (officially '''Male Idiot tries to put out fire, and Sits There. Someone, please call 911 for Flintstone Drive!''') is a video uploaded by [[Chris]] to [[YouTube]] on 6 [[November 2014]]. The video was posted during a string of rants on [[Facebook]] that Chris made while observing a man on an excavator trying to put out a very small [[PandaHalo|brushfire]] accidentally occurring near his house.

Note that the long title of the video accidentally reveals the address of the [[Rental House]]. Luckily for Chris, nobody did anything with it, most likely because he was at least smart enough to not give away the 4 digits at the start or the zipcode.

This video notably shows an actual conversation between Chris and Barb in the rental house, the likes of which had not been seen since [[You're Always Pretty]]. This video is also the last video Chris filmed and uploaded himself for a long while.

The video is shot in better quality than his [[Chris and cinematography|usual standards]], apparently made using the YouTube Capture app on [[iDea Book Case|his iPhone]], but that's not saying much as the video quality continually changes, and is quite possibly one of the shakiest videos he has made this side of [[Sonichu's Edge]].

Chris thought that his [[A-Logging|detrac]][[Weening|tors]] wouldn't find the video by putting it in "Unlisted" mode on YouTube. This backfired spectacularly.

===Summary===
This video mostly consists of footage of the brushfire, shot through a window, with sappy orchestral [[music]] added to effect (which later gets changed to a disco song from Barb's phone; most likely she just turned on the classical Pandora station), while Chris talks loudly to his mom and makes a stupid impression of the guy on the excavator every now and then. Note that Chris [[Destruction Of Chris's House|is not one to talk]] regarding fires. The crunching and plinking sounds implies that the video was shot rather nonchalantly during breakfast or lunch.

==Transcript==
[''The first bit of the video is silent with orchestral music playing "The Hills Are Alive" in the background, as the camera takes a view of the excavator outside struggling to put the brushfire out. 9 seconds in, there is a jump cut to a new shot of the window that zooms in, while the music [[CWC Trollin More|plays normally]]. At the 1:17 mark, [[Barb]] presumably asks him to mind his own beeswax.'']

Well, it IS my business, I'm livin' right...next door to dis here. [''Plenty of crunching and rustling sounds can be heard in the background. At 1:36, Barb asks "Are you watching from upstairs?"'']

YEAH, and I'm RECORDING it on my iPod! Video! Mmhem. Yeah, you see what he's--you see, he moved his...shovel mech, and he's... lookin' like he's trying to, he's either stokin' it, or he's trying to put it out! [''Barb talks again inaudibly.''] Well, he could try covering it with the dirt, [[Speech impediment|nanowats]], that's what's looks like he is doing right now!

[''More silence, then two grunts from Chris and plenty of rattling, followed by some more silence. Then, Barb talks again.'']

YOU LOOKED FROM DOWNSTAIRS OR OUTSIDE? [''Barb inaudibly replies.''] YEAH. [''Some keys jingle in the background.''] Ey, [[Snoopy]]. [''More silence.''] This can go on YouTube. "Shoveling Male Idiot Tries to Put Out Fire"....."Surrounding a Forest and"..."Neighborhood"! An' there's a lake nearby, y'know WHAT? He could scoop some water and put it OVER the damn fire! [''More silence.''] Amamatried callin' 911, but guess what? The [[Jerkops|darn idiots]] won't--listen, they think, "He's not [[Chris and the Law|breakin' any LAAAAHZ]]!" Consarnit, they don't have a lick a' [[Chris and Reality|common sense]]!

Oh, LOOK at this now! [''pause''] He drivin' away from the damn fire...oh, wait, he turnin' around! [''The music suddenly changes, as Barb's phone starts ringing. The ringtone is "[[wikipedia:Street Life (The Crusaders album)|Street Life]]", a [[Homos|disco song]] by The Crusaders.''] Oh, now what? Eymuna--

[''Jump cut to a new shot of the window. Cue some more silence, with the song "It Might as Well Be Spring" in the background and either [[Clover]] or Snoopy howling. The excavator stops trying and rolls up the hill. Chris uses his [[Slow-in-the-minds|retarded]] voice again.''] Yep, I'm driving away! I stoked the fire, and now I'm driving away! I'm [[Chris and Hypocrisy|an idiot]] or somethin', look at me! I'm driving away from the fire after I darn stoked it! And the wind it heavy over hear, I can feel it! And now I just turn myself around. And now I'm gonna sit here and watch the damn fire some more! [''normal voice''] Somebody, please call 911 and tell 'em to get over here!
