The Brothers Mario

Do feel like your too old for the classics? Well WTF is wrong with you? Mario will always be awesome in my book. But for those of you who don't agree, maybe you should check out this new Mario, made for the modern age man. These guys are great examples for your kids.

Scientists Are Bad-Ass

Yea I said it. Apparently all those brains can be put to good use after all. Don't believe me? The proof is in the video. Enjoy.

Henry Rollins Investigates Anger, Violence, and the ‘Warrior Gene’

Henry Rollins is one mean, tough son of a bitch. On stage, he's been burned, stabbed, hit, kicked, and god only knows. There's no doubt in my mind that this man wakes up and pisses intensity every morning. If you know anything about the Black Flag frontman, then you know he is rage incarnate. Now in attempt to discover the stuff that he's made of, Henry Rollins and National Geographic delve into the dark side of man to try and understand the secrets of anger, violence and the "Warrior Gene." Definitely a program, "Man Up, Bro!" approved. Now ask yourself, do you have the killer instinct?

Extreme Shaving

The world of ultimate sports has been taken to a new level...

See how millions of men (only one actually) are attempting to boost their manly hood by shaving with an industrial sander.

Badass Gun Fight

Really not a whole lot to say about this one... other than it's completely Badass! Just sit back, relax, and enjoy 3 minutes of awesomeness.

This ain't like the childhood hobby you remember

I'm sure a lot of us as kids went through a phase of building model muscle cars, World War II airplanes, and/or remote control monster trucks. My younger brother and I were into the RC monster trucks at 11 and 12 years old. Together, we built a beast of a machine from the ground up and costume painted the body with mothafuckin' skulls all over it. It was glorious. Every day after school we'd hurry home to take our truck out to a nearby subdivision construction site where we built trails and jumps in the dirt. And each day the jumps got bigger and bigger, until we pushed the limit when we jumped it off a cliff and the thing exploded in a beautiful blaze of glory. A moment that any adolescent boy could be proud of. But now we are grown men. We still went on to build things and make things explode on a much larger scale, but the days of playing with remote control vehicles are long gone... until now. After seeing this video, my inner-child is crying out, "I want that!" The video is a little long (about 6 minutes), but watch in awe as this RC turbine-powered jet screams across the sky at 366 miles-per-hour and think, "what skills you must have to perform such a feat." Amazing. Definitely no kid's hobby. I think building models just got badass again. Now all we need to do is get two of these birds in the sky with mounted pellet machine guns and get a dog fight going. That would be epic.

You won't see this on UFC

Ah, Thailand. The land of Thai. The land of flashy neon lights, discothèques, go-go dancers, and of course, Mauy Thai boxing. Some of Thailand's most popular destinations are like the dirtier, meaner, uglier long-distant cousins of Las Vegas. In fact, they can make Vegas seem like Disneyland in comparison. They've got the games, the girls, the fights, the crime, and all the charm of the third-world... they are true sin cities. Travel to one of these places and you'll find narrow streets lined with open-spaced bars packed with women, tourists, and with every so few of them, two dudes fighting it out in a boxing ring. Being the birthplace of Muay Thai and the inspiration of mixed martial arts you couldn't expect anything less. But it seems Thailand has turned it up a notch. Watch as these fighters beat the living shit out of each other where they stand. It's a little WWE for my taste, but badass nonetheless. If it were me, it would be knuckles dipped in glue and glass. Now that would be a fight.

.50 Cal William Tell

As men we'll do just about anything to prove we're ballsier than the next guy. But no one, and I mean no one, has bigger balls than this dude. To the untrained eye he may not look like much, but let me see you put a watermelon on your head then let some bro head out 200 yards with his faithful .50 Cal sniper rifle to go William Tell all over your ass. Yea, count me out, especially when the trigger man feels the need to apologize when firing.

Macho Salad

Looking for something on the lighter side for lunch today? But are you afraid going for that salad will make you look like less of man? Well it will... unless you follow suit with the dude in this video. Despite being a man, we can't eat steaks and McRibs all the time. So next time you wanna go green, do it the badass way and enjoy yourself a Macho Salad.

Carve a pumpkin like a real man

Pumpkin carving has been an age-old tradition for the spooky season; and a messy, time consuming one at that. Now gutting that jack-o-lantern just got a lot cooler as youtube user hickok45 demonstrates with his .40 caliber glock. All it takes are a couple of clips, a crack shot, and you've got yourself a real man's spooky jack. Now insert flame, place on porch, get settled in your lawn chair, and begin handing out hollow points to all those cute and creepy little trick-or-treaters.

Rent Is Too Damn High!

In honor of the upcoming election, I present all you men out there with another bad-ass candidate. If you've ever felt like you're paying too much on rent, this guy feels your pain. If you've ever felt that your karate expertise makes you better than everyone else around you, once again this guy is with you. Have some sort of weird over the top shoe fetish? I'm sure as hell going to judge you, but Jimmy's on your side. And of course if your a mustache or facial hair aficionado then this dude is right up your alley. So on November 2nd get out and vote Jimmy McMillan. Why? Because who doesn't want to hear more awesome speeches like this?

Katz For Mayor

Disclaimer: The opinions expressed below may not reflect the opinions of every member of the Man Up team. This post is not for the faint of heart, so Man Up Bro!

Election Day is approaching fast Men. It is absolutely vital that you do your research and vote for the candidates most likely to lead us to a bad-ass and awesome future. And who better to vote for than a man who refuses to back down from a challenge, even if the challenger appears to only be about 12. Recently in Winnepeg, Canada the Mayor, Sam Katz, was seen kicking a child in the face. His opposition seized the opportunity to start a smear campaign, but I believe it only makes Katz look more bad-ass. It's 2010, who isn't Pro Child Face Kicking by now?! Now if I hailed from Canadia, I would have to vote for this dude.

Conan O'Brien Drives an Explosives-Packed Car Off A Cliff!

Alright. Conan O'Brien's man cred just went up ten million points with this badass promo. Check it.

Nude Nuns with Big Guns

Here's a movie I think we could all get on board with that echoes the badassitry of Machete. Nude Nuns with Big Guns! Bullets, boobs, blood and explosions. It's got all the necessary ingredients for awesomeness. And if it's from the guys who brought you "Run, Bitch, Run!" How could you go wrong? But it's a shame this is a faux movie trailer. At least we have "Hobo with a Shotgun" with Rutger Muthafuckin' Hauer to look forward to. That will be epic.

Epic repel down the mouth of an active volcano

This is probably the manliest thing I've seen all week. A bunch of dudes repelling down the mouth of an active volcano towards a fiery lake of lava just for the hell of it.

The epic expedition took place on the remote Ambrym Island in the South Pacific atop the Marum Volcano and was lead by badass scientist and filmmaker, Geoff Mackley, with the help of extreme climbers, Drew Bristow and Johno Smith, as well as videographer, Daniel Lacy. Hats off to you, Gents. You guys make science awesome.

Things Your Dad Should've Taught You

How to properly raise children...

Warning: The opinions expressed below may not be the opinions every member of the Man Up team. This post is not for the faint of heart, so Man Up, Bro!

We've all seen it, the parents who let their kids do anything they want because they are against using a firm hand to teach those little bastards a lesson. Personally, I can't stand children. They're like tiny hammered people. They're loud, they smell, they incoherently babble, and for some reason they are always fucking sticky! "Seriously kid... what are you doing, rubbing maple syrup on your face whenever I turn around?"

It just seems too often these days people are irresponsibly popping out children like they're some sort of fashion accessory. If that's the case, society doesn't want your child. We already have enough morons in the making. So before you ruin your life and the lives of everyone around you by procreating and being an awful parent, listen to this awesome advice.

Lamborghini Ankonian aka Badass Batmobile

It may not be the Dark Knight's Tumbler, but the Lamborghini Ankonian concept is a wet dream for any philanthropist-by-day, vigilante-by-night. This concept car is designed by Slavche Tanevsky, a student at the Munich University of Applied Sciences, and is a variation of his Lamborghini Madura design; a futuristic hybrid concept that he, in collaberation with Lamborghini and Audi, had created as the proposal for the first environment-friendly Lamborghini scheduled to hit the streets in 2016.

Hybrid or not, this mid-engined supercar is a beast. It seems like a lot of the lines, curvatures and overall architecture are inspired by the F-117 stealth fighter, but this monster of a car is probably the closest thing that we'll get to a real life batmobile. And are those afterburners I see on the rear?! Now all it needs are a few rocket luanchers, a mounted vulcan minigun, and armoured plating... next thing you know, you’ll be cleaning maniacal street scum off the streets and putting them into the E.R. in no time.

The Segway Finally Did Something Manly...... Murder...

That's right men.... possibly the least manly vehicle ever invented has its "man stock" on the rise. Not only is it responsible for death and mayhem, but the victim... the co-owner of Segway!

Think It Isn't Manly To Be Sympathetic?

THINK AGAIN!

Man Up and send a little sympathy or encouragement to those who need it. Only don't be a pussy about it, say what's really on your mind, and say it proudly.
