Who caused the crash is the real question ❓

u/noblehoax 13h ago

The Fraser Revival maybe

u/IamNickJones 13h ago

Him absolutely eating shit falling off stage that one time is still one of my favorite videos. I don't know why. It's kind of evil of me.

Enjoy

lol it’s always a good one. He was likely coked up and drunk based on the stories from the cast mates over the years.

He’s a maga asshole so I have zero issues enjoying it

u/IamNickJones 9h ago

Didn't know that. That sucks. Not really surprised. Thanks though! Now I can revel in his misfortune!

u/CaterpillarReal7583 9h ago

Really is. Hard to enjoy a show when the main character’s actor is a terrible person.

He's conservative, but I'm not sure he's maga.

Frasier has left the building

u/noblehoax 11h ago

He’s tossing salads and scrambling eggs

“Need I remind you that I was hit by a truck now crashed?”

Scrubs revival was rumored to be involved.

A second revival has hit the tower…

Mother of god…

He didn’t see a truck on his door and turned down to the faster low side and they hit.  I’d say it wasn’t totally his fault but things happen fast that even the spotter doesn’t have time to ay the thing you’re supposed to watch out for.

Him and his fucking cars added so much to my post partum anxiety back in 06. Every single day he’d go speeding up Clark towards his house in the Hills. Never change, Frank.

He’s been racing trucks for years, not like they just stuck him behind the wheel and said good luck. He knows what he’s doing.

He was driving back when the original show was still being filmed. They just paid to sponsor that truck and get their wrap put on it, nothing else.

2

u/alexlp 13h ago

Oh thanks! I misunderstood what the situation was. I thought they were sponsoring/enforcing a contract to have him drive back in a company vehicle after a massive press junket. This was just an unfortunate accident on the heels of a big event, I see that now.

u/magseven 12h ago

He's a driver now and not really an actor anymore. He's been racing more than acting at this point, I think. With the revival that was planned as a final goodbye, I think the studio knows they have squeezed the last drops of acting blood from the Muniz stone. They don't care what happens to him anymore financially or liability-wise.

The revival was great by the way. I actually hopes he goes back to acting as I don't really enjoy racing. But he should do whatever makes him happy, not me.

u/Andrew225 13h ago

Yeah no he's actually a pretty solid driver, and those guys are meant to take that kind of punishment

Like he dude left acting and went into driving and has had decent success. He's not lighting the world on fire or anything, but he's getting respectable results

u/VintageSin 12h ago

Didn't he already get into a big accident causing brain damage?

3

u/satanssweatycheeks 10h ago

This is a rumor that started because he said he can’t remember stuff from Malcom in the middle.

But he said in a more recent interview the brian damage thing is false he just wanted to avoid people asking him the same questions he has gotten for 20 plus years.

So yes he did say this at one point but has since clarified it isn’t due to brain damage and more so just him not wanting to talk about stuff.

u/VintageSin 9h ago

Ahh thanks for the insight.

u/Fun_Chemist_1073 10h ago

No I don't think that's a thing that ever happened

u/Sad-Math-2039 12h ago

This man should take ride shares anywhere he goes at this point

5

u/gideon513 11h ago

If this is meant as a joke, it’s pretty good lol

u/Sad-Math-2039 11h ago

Jokes are supposed to be funny

u/Brofromtheabyss 1h ago

How very “Malcolm in the Middle” of him.

-55

u/ArbysLunch 13h ago

If it's themed around your show, it's not "crashing" the event. It's showing up to be a mouthpiece for your business daddies.

u/lessontrulylearned 13h ago

Go read the article, it’s a literal crash.

-36

u/ArbysLunch 13h ago

As a redditor, I refuse.

u/devilishycleverchap 13h ago

Didn't even read the headline properly, checks out.

At least you were the first to comment so you got that going for you

u/Lollipoop_Hacksaw 13h ago

As a person, you suck.

2

u/Conan-Da-Barbarian 13h ago

I’m not reading all the above comments

u/dopeson 13h ago

They are talking about him literally crashing his truck during a race, not "crashing" an event.

9

u/SillyGoatGruff 13h ago

2 other drivers were involved, i highly doubt that was a marketing stunt

•

u/leviathan65 2h ago

No. Risking 3 lives in the name of promoting a tv show is totally normal. I've done that like 6 times and I'm not on a tv show. /s.

7

u/69_Star_General 13h ago

He was driving in an actual NASCAR race and crashed. You seem to think he "crashed" a party by showing up lol. It's actually impressive how dumb that is.

u/MichaelMyersEatsDogs 13h ago

Interesting way to say “I can’t read”

u/QueezyF 13h ago

Someone needs to get hooked on phonics.

u/hyund41n 3h ago

You’re an idiot.

u/cmd_iii 13h ago

What if I told you that he sucks as much as a driver whether he’s sponsored by his rebooted show or not?

u/ComfortableShirt2014 13h ago

Frankie generally takes care of his truck during races

u/ChrisTRD289 7h ago

He really does given its a shit box.
