Yes, it's beginning to smell like a new year, which means that we have our minds on only one thing: Our favorite stretcher-related video clips of 2006. Here they are in no particular order, although we have to say that No. 3 has a special place in our heart, because you just can't fake that kind of team spirit.
The crack medical attention also continues after the jump.

Clip four definitely needs to be set to Yakkity Sax
no. 1 is the funniest shit i've ever seen. number four made me burst out in laughter in the middle of the office.
but the cheerleader still wins. it's not like any of the soccer players were actually hurt.
Personally, I like #4. It's like The Keystone Kops go to a Soccer Game.
What, no Barbaro being hauled off at the Preakness?
the look on the face of the stretchee in the 1st vid is classic
For Christmas, can we get some new servers?? Please??
Should I be directing this request to Lord Denton?
I'd like to see Kanye West in Homer's position.
"My video had blood and incompetent EMTs..."
Wow - clip 3 managed to garner a whole 6 comments its first time around...
Who is this "Lord Denton" you speak of? My whole goal of being in London this summer was to get myself a "title." I could be Lady Andrea.....
Andie, would that be a Kenny Rogers "Lady" or a Styx "Lady"?
Lord Denton is our Gawker overlord.
And you should totally change your name to Lady Andrea.

Aww fuck, whatever. Everybody else got to it first.
Can we also have a "Tasers in 2006" post as well? Time to Tase Out 2006?
Nothing a little tussin can't fix.
outer blogshire.
That's where the Inn of the Prancing Pony is located, right?
Absolutely wonderful stuff, Why can't America's Funniest Home-videos get any good material?
I think that cheerleader should be the Deadspin resident Barbaro. Will could post updates on the conditions and we could write batshit crazy messages to her and thanking Dr Will for her recovery.

Okay, you know now we have to totally give Will a title, right?
My personal fave was inelligible for the stretcher as she was literally nailed to the field.

Grand Poobah?
BTW...that Simpsons clip is topped by an earlier scene in the same episode, when Bart knock himself unconscious trying to jump a car on his skateboard...at which point Milhouse screams "hey, he's really hurt...let's get out of here". No stretcher involved there though.
Dweeze,
I believe you're thinking of The Green Dragon. The Prancing Pony is in Bree (I think).
Yeah, that's right. I'm a LOTR fan. Wanna fight about it?
"Rub some dirt on it", indeed.
spirit fingers, everyone!!!!
OMG--- the 4th just popped up on my page-- that was the funniest shit ever!!! bah hah hah!!!!
#4 is funnier when set to Benny Hill music.
What, no love for video #2?
I love how all the guys stand around like the stretchee fucked up and fell off somehow.
#4 is classic!
Sir William Leitchspeare from Mattoon-upon-Paradise?
#4 is fantastic, but the cheerleader is a close second, mainly because of the slow-motion mascot parade.
Grand Poobah Leitch it shall be name.
And it was so decreed, by the Deadspin faithful, that their leader was to assume the title of Grand Poobah; and He was to lead them through dark days ahead, where battles with the World Wide Leader and the UPenn Barbaro Message Board Legions loomed.
Surely thou hast heard of thee?
You just said "Surely you have heard of you." Jeez, doesn't anyone read the King James Version anymore?
That is some violent double Tea Bag in clip one. I t looks like Harry Dunne is the one trying to carry the stretcher.
Dweeze:
Prancing Pony sounds pretty gay to me... (yes, I know the reference)
#4 is an Instant Classic.
Russkiejedi - you know, I would like the Brick Testament more if they didn't use the New Jerusalem Bible? This is what happens when you write an English thesis and spend a third of it pulling quotes from KJV.
You just said "Surely you have heard of you." Jeez, doesn't anyone read the King James Version anymore?
How do you know that wasn't what I was asking? Ok, you're right, it wasn't.
Okay, you know now we have to totally give Will a title, right?
I believe he should be a Duke (... although that may bring with it some negative connotation, huh?
)
I believe he should be a Duke (... although that may bring with it some negative connotation, huh?
Yeah, everytime I see Duke, I have to say "Fuck Duke." It's automatic at this point.
C'mon, Gawker hamster, you can do it! Post my comment!
metschick:
Fark much?
Fark much?
I don't understand the question, and I won't respond to it.
It's getting very Renaissance Faire in here. Anyone seen my breeches?
I think Will's more of the Viscount peerage.
Raskolnikov - Fark is "Duke Sucks" - and I think you just offended Metschick, who doesn't visit Fark.com
Hey Rick, nice Hal 9000 avatar!!!
My bad... I shall banish myself to Mordor for the grave error.
Sorry metschick.
Hee, don't worry Rask, no offense, I was just making a lame inside joke (so inside that only I get it - I don't visit Fark).
And as to that simonsezsanta.com, type in "sex me". Hee.
I nominate Will as commander of the Armies of the North, General of the Felix legions, and loyal servant to the true emperor LaRussa.
loyal servant to the true emperor LaRussa
I'm loving this.
I'm afraid I can't let you do that, DamnSkippy.
I like you, Spaniard. I shall root for you.
#3 wasn't cheering...that was a SEIZURE!
The Cheergirl should have been in the running for the SHOTY
ghey.
and i'm a former english teacher who had kids hang out in his room during lunch so they had somewhere to play Magic and other dork-games.
Can we get the cultural oddsmaker to predict which gawker employees have participated in a Magic: the Gathering game? I'm guessing it would be a close race between Will and the Jalopnik guys after Kotaku.
Thank you BoSox Siobhan, I am putting m
