I was going to say this is the most “old person on the internet” comments section I’ve ever seen… there’s literally a Colin Kaepernick comment for some reason?! I enjoy the videos but there’s a ton of boot licking in the comments section lol!
I remember this well. I’m about Tonya & Nancy’s ages. I’d never heard of either of them until this happened. How it played out was that no one really liked Nancy. She just didn’t come off well in the media. It wasn’t that we thought it was ok or that she deserved what happened to her, just that she was kind of boring and snooty. She almost disappeared from the story and Tonya’s antics took over. Because Tonya was a *TRAIN WRECK* And everyone loves to rubberneck a train wreck.
@@randomtology2173that movie is the only reason why I even know of this whole fiasco. Really good movie, idk how accurate it was but it painted an interesting picture of who tonya was
@@PoptartParasol im shocked it kinda flew under the radar, it was so good, and pretty frikin accurate, actually. alot of research went into it, even by the actors. and i remember when it actually happened!
I skated in Denis and Hyannis as a child and met her a few times. No one thought Nancy was snooty she was incredibly kind and humble, She was just dedicated to skating and not into going out to party every night.
I watched this play out in real time when I was a child. My mother loved ice/figure skating and gymnastics. I loved watching the olympics and when this shit when down it was absolutely insane. Never forgotten.
My mom didn't like figure skating, but she loved the Olympics. I remember we watched 'eddy the eagle' in real time when I was 5. I remember after this incident we kinda stopped watching them in full, and just watched the highlights on the news. Then the Atlanta bombing happened and we kinda got out of it
For quite a while after this happened, you couldn't turn on a TV without hearing about it. It was bigger than the recent Johnny Depp/Amber Herd legal drama.

He moved his car every 30 minutes to avoid suspicion. Ah yes, brilliant. Im sure when he was told to avoid suspicion at the rink, he walked in and said, "Im not hear to break anyones knees guys, dont look at me, durp".
😹🤣😹 I don’t think anyone at my school did that, but that’s hilarious. Did anyone fall down and scream “why me, why me” after having it done to them? And to think Oksana went on to skate with a broken ankle that same year. She didn’t even bat an eye or shed a tear…where anyone could see anyway. It’s sad when a kid can comport herself and complain less than a grown adult.
Yep!! Wasn’t it like World’s Dumbest Criminals that she provided commentary for, along with some idiot, no-name comedians who aren’t even popular anymore (if they ever were)?? That’s pretty rich I must say that she had that job 😂
I know the “WHYYYY” thing is funny, but goodness gracious if I don’t feel awful for Nancy. Pain is fucking brutal, and an injury like that is devastating. My chronic pain can lead me to slurring my speech, being unable to swallow (and as such, I drool), stumble around, and black out. It’s HUMILIATING, because you can’t do anything about it, at all. This poor woman was just attacked, and her initial reaction went down as a meme. Again, it’s a hilarious meme! Just, tragic in context.
Shawn Eckhardt is straight out of a central casting call for “inept criminal.” I seriously could not believe it when I saw the guy. His interview with Diane Sawyer where he keeps insisting he’s a special counter-terrorism agent is like a comedy routine.
The media doesn’t love Tonya, they love the train wreck that is Tonya Harding. Also, the media loved Nancy she went from not expecting to medal to being the American face of the Lilihammer Olympics. Nancy’s performance might still be one of the highest rated Olympic events ever.
I work at a restaurant in Annapolis, Maryland, and I actually waited on a table Nancy Kerrigan and her family were at. She’s genuinely such a sweet person, seems to be doing great now.
The logic is very simple, as all flawed logics are. You can't allow your loved ones to commit mistakes, less they'll get themselves in some sort of trouble. Reprimands are in order when mistakes are repeated, to disuade repetition.
My mom always made reference to this I genuinely thought it was just a story not a real life occurrence. I know my history but I can admit I was completely oblivious to this actually happening.
Giving away my age here, but this was a major, major story when I was a kid. Gigantic and VERY public scandal, of the type that just wasn't supposed to happen.
I went to high school with Nancy kerrigan’s nephew. We had a sociology class together, and our teacher waited to show I,Tonya until after he graduated lol.
i remember my mom being super pissed about this when i was a kid. my mom was a competitive figure skater back before she was my mom so i guess it makes sense to me. thanks for another great video Sir Dankula. 😎
Back in 2016 I helped demolish the skating rink in Portland at the Lloyd center mall where she grew up practicing. Old man who ran a jewelry stand next to it for decades said she was a huge pain in the ass and had numerous altercations with her in her younger years.

This happened when I was in middle school. There were so many juvenile jokes made on the football field. Especially when someone got injured slightly and made a big deal out of it. Or if someone got blindsided it was called a Tanya harding
As a kid when me and my siblings would ask our parents why we were doing something boring like errands My parents would respond saying “whyyy whyyy” in a really whiny voice. It wasn’t until I was older when they told me, they were mimicking the video of Nancy Kerrigan after being attacked when they said Whyyyy? to us like that.
I forgive you Dank for not including that Tanya was a presenter on the show "TruTV Presents: World's Dumbest" in your "what she did after" section as you might not have know about it. 😁
I'm surprised he didn't mention her arrest and conviction for domestic violence after she threw a hub cap at her boyfriend's head. It came as a surprise to no one that she was living in a place that had hub caps lying around.
I had the misfortune of living and working in the Portland area during the whole circus. The detective that ended up with the case drew the short straw as nobody wanted to be anywhere near it. He had a collage of the mugshots of Gillooly, Eckert, and Stant photoshopped as the Three Stooges. When pressed for details he would just point to it and say “Not a normal functioning brain cell between them”. There was a firm belief Harding was the “mastermind” as the three co-conspirators were too stupid to have done it on their own. As for Harding, the area she comes from is charitably a “predominantly white, persistently economically depressed high crime” area. She is most certainly a product of her upbringing. The saying was “you can take the girl out of southeast, but you can’t take the southeast out of the girl. The media circus was unbelievable. In order for officers to enter the jail with an arrestee is a secured ramp that goes under the jail and to the intake area. When rumors started around the time Harding was to be taken into custody, the world media swarmed the public end of the ramp. Officers had to announce over their loudspeakers “I do not have Tonya Harding in this vehicle. I only have a run of the mill criminal” to get them to move out of the way. Their disappointment was palpable
Does anyone else remember that South Park episode where they loop Nancy Kerrigan's crying voice randomly over the episode multiple times? That's a weird pop culture moment burned into my brain lol.
I was working in a restaurant on the opening shift when this all went down and made the news! We were watching Nancy Kerrigan screaming, "Why, why, why!" while holding her knee at the restaurant's bar tv. We all busted out laughing and for about a month we would all scream, "Why, why, why!" when anything went wrong or we were hurt somehow. GOOD TIMES!!!
Nothing quite so cruel, but some of the Pre-Preliminary-Novice ladies are absolutely evil to each other out of jealousy and competitive pressure, and their moms are even worse. The guys kinda just roll with it. Some assholes but most of us were buds, there are simply not enough male figure skaters for the competition to get that heated. It certainly doesn’t help that USFSA definitely props up skaters for their image rather than due to their skill. You can absolutely be a shoe in for Olympics/Worlds and be passed over by a golden child who placed 8th at nationals. I’m surprised things like this don’t happen more frequently to be honest.
Same. I remember a kid at school getting yelled at by teachers for interrupting our walk to recess by sitting down and grabbing his knees crying out "MY LEGS!! MY LEGS!!"
I remember this barely. I don’t remember Ruby ridge but do remember Waco and all of the OJ stuff (not that I cared about it back then). I also remember a family member getting married 2 weeks after Ruby Ridge so it’s pretty specific.
Growing up, Tonya harding was my neighbor. She's an absolute nut case. It's well known in my little hometown, if you drive by the court house on pretty much any day of the week. Her rust bucket of a Ford bronco will be parked outside 😂
He thought the tape of him and his accomplice planning the crime would be useful for advertisements for his bodyguard company....That's some Always Sunny in Philadelphia level reasoning right there.
Saw Jeff Gillooly at a bar one time. My friend said something to him real cool like we just thought it was a trip. He finished his beer and promply left.
Oh boy! Was watching a VGG video and dude calls his hammer Tonya. I absolutely stole his idea and even upped the ante. My smallest, loudest, and nastiest chainsaw was affectionately dubbed 'Greta'.
I've been on a number of job sites, military bases, times in college/university, ETC, where jealous persons can't stand the success or contentment of others, and used any deceit or deception to destroy their object of envy.
The very first time I saw an image of Tonya Harding, having never even heard of her before, I thought to myself, "She's from a trailer park." Crazy how the trailer park gets into your hair and face like that.
If you know how to see it, you can read just about everything in a person's face. I've seen in my own life how accurate that can be. That's what separates the truly great actors from the simply decent ones, they can fool even that skill
Dank x Figure skating was the crossover I never thought I would see. Massive fan of figure skating. The Skating Lesson on RUclips is an excellent channel for learning about figure skating. I suggest doing Mad Lad Ice Queen Eteri Tutberidze. Merry Dankmas!
I'm surprised you didn't mention that Tonya's ex hubby released their honeymoon video. Tho as someone who has seen it, it is much more enjoyable watching Tonya screw up a triple Lutz than watching her screw.
I was around 10 and in Canada (where they take ice dancing a little more seriously) when it happened, and yea to this day I have that recording of Nancy's voice " WHY?! WHY?!" burned into my brain.
Speaking of Steven Seagal, he'd make quite the topic for a Madlad. A crazy action movie actor and martial artist with an ego the size of Russia and a completely grandiose but fabricated backstory of his life and accomplishments (and loves to hang out with Putin for some baffling reason).
@@afroteddybear didn't know that part. But I do remember him saying he had to fight off the yakuza for it. Lol dude be wildin. Rob Schneider (or David spade) have a very funny story about him.
The best part of this video was when the camera stuck on u and you said I am cheeky and non compliant. I damn near pissed myself laughing because your face says I’ll do it again 😂😂😂😂😂😂 I know that look cuz I to have been called non compliant
I remember when this happened as a kid. I LOVED watching the beautiful performances of figure skaters as a girl growing up in Louisiana who never had the chance to ice skate. It was a MASSIVE story on the evening news broadcasts as well because Kerrigan was a favorite for the Olympics. The I, Tanya movie is a very interesting watch to learn more about Harding and her life.
Figure skating is crazy man lol my daughter is currently skating at a high level and things get intense at competitions, even the jealousy at practice with girls she’s skated with for awhile is getting ridiculous
Hot take: that's just the nature of women. Try working in a female dominated environment. Try asking anyone who has done that if not. Get a feeling for the vibes around.
Fun potential fact, an old box of mine who used to run a gun store that I worked for went to Milwaukue high School (Oregon) at the same time that Tonya Harding did. Apparently they dated for a while but she was kind of a psychopath so he claims that he took a dump on her Volkswagen bugs dash after they had a particularly crazy break up . Probably a tall tale but I thought it was hilarious
I always think of Robin Williams with this one, talking about the 2002 Winter Olympics pairs figure skating scandal over judging. "At this point, I'm going 'Where is Tonya Harding when you need her?!' Tonya wouldn't be doing that whole Canadian 'Oh, I'm so happy to be screwed, eh! ^-^' Tonya woulda been on that judge like shit on velcro! She'd be going 'Gimme that medal, you French whore!'"

As a kid when me and my siblings would ask our parents why we were doing something boring like errands My parents would respond saying “whyyy whyyy” in a really whiny voice. It wasn’t until I was older when they told me, they were mimicking the video of Nancy Kerrigan after being attacked when they said Whyyyy? to us like that.
😂😂😂😂 that’s awesome
@@Willrocs we were from near the Portland area my mom said she use to see Tonya skating at the malls ice rink
Had no idea i needed dank to cover this.
I remember when this happened my mom was so pissed off it was the first time I ever heard her swear.
Dank robbed me for my Raycon Everyday Headphones the other day. He said "Everyone will believe you cause it's in character." So true Dank, so true.
I forgive you Dank for not including that Tanya was a presenter on the show "TruTV Presents: World's Dumbest" in your "what she did after" section as you might not have know about it. 😁
To be fair, it's overdubbed unfunny crap, like most of the "top funny" tv shows. Only thing going for it is it doesn't feel as committee-driven.
@@DoomieGruntVentures It's a ya turn it to that and casually watch as you do something else show, since it doesn't require a whole lot of attention.
I'm surprised he didn't mention her arrest and conviction for domestic violence after she threw a hub cap at her boyfriend's head. It came as a surprise to no one that she was living in a place that had hub caps lying around.
Also for overlooking her short stint as a “professional boxer” and equally short stint as a “professional wrestler”
@@markmatsushima7356 Dankula mentioned her boxing record.
"Cheeky & defiant!" thats why we love you Dank
I had the misfortune of living and working in the Portland area during the whole circus.
The detective that ended up with the case drew the short straw as nobody wanted to be anywhere near it. He had a collage of the mugshots of Gillooly, Eckert, and Stant photoshopped as the Three Stooges. When pressed for details he would just point to it and say “Not a normal functioning brain cell between them”. There was a firm belief Harding was the “mastermind” as the three co-conspirators were too stupid to have done it on their own.
As for Harding, the area she comes from is charitably a “predominantly white, persistently economically depressed high crime” area. She is most certainly a product of her upbringing. The saying was “you can take the girl out of southeast, but you can’t take the southeast out of the girl.
The media circus was unbelievable. In order for officers to enter the jail with an arrestee is a secured ramp that goes under the jail and to the intake area. When rumors started around the time Harding was to be taken into custody, the world media swarmed the public end of the ramp. Officers had to announce over their loudspeakers “I do not have Tonya Harding in this vehicle. I only have a run of the mill criminal” to get them to move out of the way. Their disappointment was palpable
Does anyone else remember that South Park episode where they loop Nancy Kerrigan's crying voice randomly over the episode multiple times? That's a weird pop culture moment burned into my brain lol.
You'll never suffer more than in your own head.
This story was WILD
I was working in a restaurant on the opening shift when this all went down and made the news! We were watching Nancy Kerrigan screaming, "Why, why, why!" while holding her knee at the restaurant's bar tv. We all busted out laughing and for about a month we would all scream, "Why, why, why!" when anything went wrong or we were hurt somehow. GOOD TIMES!!!
Fun fact my aunt is Tonya's cousin. Small world, she hung out with my parents sometimes
I remember this as a kid they'd play it on the news all the time, WHY WHY WHY? LOL😂
Props for the vast amount of different stuff you cover, all to recruit people to the n@zi pug society 😂
Hey, that's a US Justice you're addressing
"Somewhat cheeky and non-compliant."
Oh really? I would never have guessed...
I was a kid when this happened and after this assumed figgure skaters routinely did crazy sh$t, like busting knees with crowbars.
Nothing quite so cruel, but some of the Pre-Preliminary-Novice ladies are absolutely evil to each other out of jealousy and competitive pressure, and their moms are even worse. The guys kinda just roll with it. Some assholes but most of us were buds, there are simply not enough male figure skaters for the competition to get that heated.
It certainly doesn’t help that USFSA definitely props up skaters for their image rather than due to their skill. You can absolutely be a shoe in for Olympics/Worlds and be passed over by a golden child who placed 8th at nationals. I’m surprised things like this don’t happen more frequently to be honest.
I'm just old enough to remember this being all over the news.
Same. I remember a kid at school getting yelled at by teachers for interrupting our walk to recess by sitting down and grabbing his knees crying out "MY LEGS!! MY LEGS!!"
I remember this barely. I don’t remember Ruby ridge but do remember Waco and all of the OJ stuff (not that I cared about it back then). I also remember a family member getting married 2 weeks after Ruby Ridge so it’s pretty specific.
I always wanted an in depth dive into this situation, and who better to educate me?? It’s the libertarian accent that gets me
It's not every day we get a good ending from these types of Dank's videos but I'm sure glad this one ended on a high note.
Growing up, Tonya harding was my neighbor. She's an absolute nut case. It's well known in my little hometown, if you drive by the court house on pretty much any day of the week. Her rust bucket of a Ford bronco will be parked outside 😂
The funniest part of all of it to me is the fact that Oksana Baiul won the gold when the Olympics finally arrived.
Although to be fair, she was the favourite
The crazy part was Tonya went to the Olympics and with the whole world hating on her still finished eighth.
Based Tonya
And Nancy with her injury 2nd.
He thought the tape of him and his accomplice planning the crime would be useful for advertisements for his bodyguard company....That's some Always Sunny in Philadelphia level reasoning right there.
Because of this, whenever my dad grabbed a hammer, he called them "the Tonya harding," and so hearing this when I grew up, I now call it the same
I remember this well. It was blasted across every single TV station for weeks afterwards.
We should just call pre-internet memes 'proto-memes'
Saw Jeff Gillooly at a bar one time. My friend said something to him real cool like we just thought it was a trip. He finished his beer and promply left.
Ah yes the absolute batshit madness that was the Tanya harding gambit
Great story. It was a big deal back in the day. Great job Supreme Court Justice Dank
Oh boy!
Was watching a VGG video and dude calls his hammer Tonya. I absolutely stole his idea and even upped the ante. My smallest, loudest, and nastiest chainsaw was affectionately dubbed 'Greta'.
I've been on a number of job sites, military bases, times in college/university, ETC, where jealous persons can't stand the success or contentment of others, and used any deceit or deception to destroy their object of envy.
The very first time I saw an image of Tonya Harding, having never even heard of her before, I thought to myself, "She's from a trailer park." Crazy how the trailer park gets into your hair and face like that.
If you know how to see it, you can read just about everything in a person's face. I've seen in my own life how accurate that can be. That's what separates the truly great actors from the simply decent ones, they can fool even that skill
Dank x Figure skating was the crossover I never thought I would see. Massive fan of figure skating. The Skating Lesson on RUclips is an excellent channel for learning about figure skating. I suggest doing Mad Lad Ice Queen Eteri Tutberidze. Merry Dankmas!
I'm surprised you didn't mention that Tonya's ex hubby released their honeymoon video. Tho as someone who has seen it, it is much more enjoyable watching Tonya screw up a triple Lutz than watching her screw.
It was pretty dirty.
@@mulvaneysjockstrap turn safe search off and Google Tonya and Jeff honeymoon video. It should pop up pretty quick.
Always excited for a Dankula vid. Definitely a MadLad/MadLass one.
Wild story.
Jealousy and envy.
Oh, and dumb bros.

🐍 no step on Snek!🇭🇰🇺🇸
Tanya harding's front portion of her hairdo was known as the "Clackamas Claw".
I knew a chick in 1992 who called fluff that stuck out in front, "antlers". I've called it that ever since.
I was around 10 and in Canada (where they take ice dancing a little more seriously) when it happened, and yea to this day I have that recording of Nancy's voice " WHY?! WHY?!" burned into my brain.
Speaking of Steven Seagal, he'd make quite the topic for a Madlad. A crazy action movie actor and martial artist with an ego the size of Russia and a completely grandiose but fabricated backstory of his life and accomplishments (and loves to hang out with Putin for some baffling reason).
If I recall wasn't he the first non Japanese person to open up a dojo in Japan?
@@jkee9760 That was because he married the daughter of the Aikidoka who initially owned the dojo.
Because hes a world leader, its really not that baffling.
He's also the reincarnated dali Lama
@@afroteddybear didn't know that part. But I do remember him saying he had to fight off the yakuza for it. Lol dude be wildin. Rob Schneider (or David spade) have a very funny story about him.
Im so glad your video dropped while in for a boring friday. Although my new dispensary card is helping 💭
I was in high school when this happened. It was the living embodiment of "shit show."
Oh I remember this mess.
The dead pixel camera still being used after years of acknowledgment should be a crime at this point.
Am I the only one who wanted to comfort poor Nancy?🥺
Same. Imagine getting attacked out of nowhere and your confused an in terrible pain-of course she’s going to ask why.
Nope, I don't comfort women because I know they wouldn't do it for me
@@-bubby9633 how to say you have mommy issues without saying you have mommy issues
@@-bubby9633 maybe dial back the Nick Fuentes for a bit
I wanted to comfort Tonya
Those things sure do hurt!
Jesus, It's like a real life episode of It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia; the fucking bodyguard angle is the cherry on top
The best part of this video was when the camera stuck on u and you said I am cheeky and non compliant. I damn near pissed myself laughing because your face says I’ll do it again 😂😂😂😂😂😂 I know that look cuz I to have been called non compliant
I'm glad Nancy recovered and found success while Tonya didn't :)
I remember when this happened as a kid. I LOVED watching the beautiful performances of figure skaters as a girl growing up in Louisiana who never had the chance to ice skate.
It was a MASSIVE story on the evening news broadcasts as well because Kerrigan was a favorite for the Olympics.
The I, Tanya movie is a very interesting watch to learn more about Harding and her life.
Back in my day, when athletes took a knee.........they TOOK a knee. 🤣
Count Dankula is the DANKEST
dank you Count
Figure skating is crazy man lol my daughter is currently skating at a high level and things get intense at competitions, even the jealousy at practice with girls she’s skated with for awhile is getting ridiculous
Hot take: that's just the nature of women. Try working in a female dominated environment. Try asking anyone who has done that if not. Get a feeling for the vibes around.
“Where the hell else am I gonna go in life back to the trailer?”
Tony Harding when told she’d be kicked out of the Olympics.
Yewh, well, where was I supposed to go, Detroit?
You know I'm a girl and I listen to your show every week and I love it so thank you
They got around THEIR security. That is a damn good sales pitch - we can beat your security, so hire us to DO your security.
Fun potential fact, an old box of mine who used to run a gun store that I worked for went to Milwaukue high School (Oregon) at the same time that Tonya Harding did. Apparently they dated for a while but she was kind of a psychopath so he claims that he took a dump on her Volkswagen bugs dash after they had a particularly crazy break up .
Probably a tall tale but I thought it was hilarious
I've been at the receiving end of her rage personally, She's vicious.
The comedy movie attack of the 5 foot 2 women parodies both the Tonya Harding/Nancy Kerrigan event and the Lorena Bobbit/John Wayne Bobbit incidents
Oh Lorena Bobbit better make it into one of Danks videos. It would be incredible.
Funny Scottish Santa man cures my depression for christmas
“Apparently I’m a cheeky and uncooperative fella.”
Same
I always think of Robin Williams with this one, talking about the 2002 Winter Olympics pairs figure skating scandal over judging. "At this point, I'm going 'Where is Tonya Harding when you need her?!' Tonya wouldn't be doing that whole Canadian 'Oh, I'm so happy to be screwed, eh! ^-^' Tonya woulda been on that judge like shit on velcro! She'd be going 'Gimme that medal, you French whore!'"
