Forums - General - Help me breaking a crappy TV!

Gnac on 03 May 2010

OK, to fit in with the "theme" of this thread, you have several options:

1) Throw it out of the window (ROCKSTAR STYLE!)
2) Take a sedgehammer to it (OFFICE SPACE STYLE!)
3) Piss on it while it's switched on (SUICIDAL STYLE!)

In each case, you are free to blame it on someone else (if you are still alive).

Just tell them that it's been used a lot. If you imply some sort of sudden defect, they may be suspicious. Switch the TV on and demonstrate what's wrong with it, if you know the age of the appliance, mention it (that'll be a big factor), and also mention that the defects make it unbearable to use it. I'm sure they'll understand. As long as you don't try to decieve them.

while this is a reasonable answer, you sir, are no fun.

OH MAN, I just edited my post for grammar as well.

We are now mortal enemies.

something tells me I have the upper hand

This depends entirely on where the aformentioned hand has been shoved.

You may need to disinfect it afterwards.

Buy a space heater, turn it on full blast and point it into the small slits of the tv, where the heat usually escapes from :P

I have no idea if this would actually work

1- Just chuck it out and say it was stolen.

2- Carefully open it up and cut some of the wires that look important.

3- Use a flamethrower.

... I would suggest number 3

Steal some gold watches, cigars, tiaras, maybe a dead hooker... you know, the kind of stuff rich people have lying around and put them in the TV. Alert the house owners of the wrongdoing but pin everything on the TV.

They'll probably kill the shit outta that thing, problem solved.

I've seen it done before, it's a foolproof plan

I don't get this! Put them on the TV like what? LOL

 

@ guys above I can't open it and remove "important" parts because I believe the house owners may try to get the TV fixed, and if they do that, they might understand what I did there :\

 

I also cannot simulate a theft, otherwise I've had to steal 3 laptops, my Wii, and other stuff. A thief that takes only the TV looks like a very selective thief... Being the TV a really crappy one lol.

LOL that would be an amazing conspiration plan to screw a TV, but I don't have a rat nearby.

 

I was already more than 10 minutes turning it on\off to try to broke that but it is still working :\

Mission accomplished, I just burned the wire of the TV with a lighter.

Now I will tell them that it all started while I was watching a movie, saying that an intense smell and some buzz caught my attention and then I noticed some smoke coming out of the TV.

The TV still works, but hopefully they will think that it is malfunctioning and can start a fire.

Let's see...

you could try with a magnet - does pretty nice effects, which are unfortunately pretty easy to fix, hehe
