The Slow Mo Guys Waxed Their Legs, and It Looked Painful as Hell

We love ourselves some good ol’-fashioned Slow Mo Guys here at What’s Trending. Remember when they fired up a flamethrower in slow motion? How about the time they blew up a giant water balloon? Plus, watching guys (like Tyler Oakley) get their legs waxed is always a good time.

Combine the two, and what do you get? An instantly viral video, that’s what!

That’s right. The Slow Mo Guys made a video of themselves waxing their legs — at 28,000 frames per second. Here’s the original video from the Slow Mo Guys’ YouTube channel:

What do you think? Awesome video, or did you chicken out and avoid watching it? Let us know in the comments below or @WhatsTrending on Twitter!
