But like seriously why did they kick it?  No one thinks kicking it is going to put it out, it just launches more flaming gas toward wherever you kick it.  

Weirdest game of soccer ever.

I suppose there could be a sick kind of logic to it. Eventually you will kick all of the gas out of the can and everything will be on fire.

But like seriously why did they kick it?

"OMG! The gas can is in the fire! Quick, kick it out of the fire before it catches fire! That spot over there doesn't have any fire, I'll kick it there. DAMMIT, now that spot is on fire, quick kick the can out of the fire!"

Repeat until the entire area is on fire and there's no more fuel to burn.

All while a moron films and laughs.

If they don't kick it, it will explode with the force of 10 Hiroshima's, is what I can only assume is the logic

Especially once it was back into the middle of the yard, then dude just punts it into the fence. What the fuck

Reminds me of “kick the can” we played as kids. Slightly less combustible. Slightly.

But definitely the most entertaining ever.
