Kyle Roberts and his crew are obviously big fans of the X-Men superhero series. But all these new X-Men and Wolverine movies can’t compare to the 1992 X-Men cartoon.
90′s Wrestling Boy posted this vintage news clip from the 1990′s in October, but it only went viralviral now after being featured on Reddit. Now, the video has over 175,000 views, and climbing.
Bill Morgan was a 37 year old truck driver who had gone through a slew of bad luck all in a row, only to finally be showered in good luck.
He was in a serious trucking accident, developed a heart condition, and then even had a worsening reaction from his heart medication, sending him into a life threatening coma.
After surviving by just a hair, his karma seemed to turn upside down. He found a woman, got a new job, and even won a car in the lotto. When the local news were producing the story about his life changing luck, they had him reenact scratching his winning lotto ticket.
Incredibly, the ticket he scratched for the camera was a $250,000 winning ticket! Naturally, he just lost it after that.
Bob Saget introduced the cute video with, “This maybe one of the sweetest tapes you’ll ever see. Parents, get your kids over here to show them this is a good example of a brother helping his little sister.”
In the short clip, a brother’s little sister was having difficulties making it across a small gap in the sidewalk. To help her out, big bro literally lied down across the gap, so his little sister could climb over him to safety.
Thankfully, sketch comedy artists Brian and Maria finally tell the world the truth.

The only music videos that are actually produced these days are packed with product placement–the only way to get the video funded in the first place–and are all available at the click of the mouse on YouTube and iTunes.
The question should be ‘Why would MTV play music videos anymore?’ …
Exactly. No reason.
Now, why does MTV play crappy, fake, stupid reality TV shows all day? Because the viewers eat it up to feel superior. And it’s true, just look at the ratings.
The video went viral over the weekend, amassing over 425,000 views, and appearing on popular sites like Mashable, UpRoxx, and TastefullyOffensive.
YouTuber docarii put it best: “…I think this is going viral… …among people born before ’95… ”
