In one of their most popular videos, Gav kicked a ball into Dan's face and filmed it in slow motion. However, years later, they now have an even better camera and , with gross, yet hilarious consequences.

Dan filled a leather ball full of water, using a pump and a bin full of water. Lifting it up he said: "Woah, that's hefty."

Gav replied, "Do you think that will rattle your brain?"

Dan winced: "Yeah. Oh god, I don't want to do this."

Dan, wearing a white scientist's coat - prepared himself to be smacked in the face with the ball, and does his best to keep his eyes open and his face relaxed.

His friend, Gav, sets the camera, and then stood next to him and prepared himself to throw the heavy ball, directly into Dan's face with force. However, the lad couldn't help but wind his mate up first, by pretending to throw the ball, but not actually letting go.

Gav violently threw the ball directly into Dan's cheek, nearly knocking him over sideways.

We then see the ball hit Dan's face in slow motion. The impact is brutal and his face absorbed the heavy ball, with his nose even dislodging to make room.

Gav screamed in disgust: "Oh, your nose bone moved under your nose". The men then laughed watching the video back.

"You look like someone else."
