There's no video to describe 2016 like this video of a guy getting hit in the face with a water-filled football up close in slow-motion.

Two vloggers who call themselves "The Slow Mo Guys" took a video of Dan Gruchy getting whacked in the face with a football, and the video is slowed down 1000 times. The result? Some unsettling-yet-mesmerising face rippling action. Ouch, but also, awesome.

If you don't want to watch the intro where the two explain the stunt, skip to 2:20 to watch the action unfold.
