You are about to witness the popping of the Mother of All Zits.

Not ready? How about a [starter](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=342263) before The Big One?

Ya know…I think I’m going to pass, and just live vicariously through those Dopers who haven’t gotten their minimum daily requirement of TMI and who post their thoughts after clicking your link.

I wait patiently.

Gaaahhh!!

It was so much worse than I was expecting (and I was expecting it to be pretty bad). :eek:

And I’ve generally enjoyed the zit threads and videos that’ve been posted in the past…

If I recall correctly, that lining (or whatever it is) that they’re pulling out towards the end of the video means it actually a cyst rather than a zit, right?

Why did I click on that?

I knew it was going to be bad… _shudders_

Oh, and even with all the pus and blood, the worst part has to be when they pull out the table spoon to scoop up all the stuff… :eek:

Y’know, at times like this, I’m kinda _glad_ those not-really-a-download sites like funlol and youtube load video so slowly and stallingly.

I’m still wondering how they do it, though. Really cheapass low-bandwidth servers would be my guess. Anyhow, they do a great job of recreating the dial-up experience for the young folks who never knew it firsthand.

I knew I was going to regret clicking on that link. I did it anyway.

I was right. I regret it. I did ok until they started scooping the stuff with a _spoon_.

If you haven’t clicked on it then don’t. I now regret ever watching that video. No dinner for me tonight.

That would have been so much more fulfilling to watch had they used legitimate medical procedures, eg gloves, anesthetic, etc. The only thing that bothered me about the clip was the fact that they used kitchen implements, bare hands, and only used the bible as a “precaution”; they might as well have left the “zit” there (well, that, and the whole tugging-at-raw-flesh" part–it makes me wince on the patient’s behalf).

And is it really accurate to refer to such a thing as a friggin’ “tumor?”

I wonder if **Broomstick** ’s entry in “The TMI thread” would have been this interesting to watch.

I have just thrown out my brand new tube of Pepsodent and am about to run out and buy some sort of gel toothpaste. Maybe Aim.

At least _you_ noticed. I posted this video in [this thread](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=342263), as someone felt that they had found the worst cyst-popping video ever and I felt the need to correct them.

Up until now, I thought I had a pretty strong constitution. But holy crap, I’m all queasy now, and in a little while, I will be eating spaghetti, which will remind me of what I just saw with every bite. Yum.

I love it. It’s comforting to watch something that physically cathartic. Makes me a bit envious, even.

I remember that clip! Just like striped toothpaste. I love a good zit story, and pictures just make it all the better. I used to get big, honking zits on my back, but haven’t for almost 10 years. I kinda miss them. :eek:
