00:44 Howdy! I'm J.J. Fate, uh, Fall Guy.
00:49 [music]
00:50 My middle name is Jonah, and Jinx is in there too.
00:53 [music]
00:54 Hoodoo fits me like a glove, but Fate's my name to you.
00:58 [music]
00:59 [clears throat] Now, uh, this is an average neighborhood.
01:02 These are average homes.
01:04 Average people live in these homes.
01:07 And here comes an average citizen home from work.
01:11 [music]
01:18 [crash]
01:19 [music]
01:20 [engine revving]
01:21 [crash]
01:22 [music]
01:27 Safe at home, he thinks.
01:31 [music]
01:33 Ah, yes. Be it ever so humble. There's no place like home.
01:41 To have an accident.
01:42 Do you realize that nearly five million people suffered in home accidents last year?
01:48 And everybody blames me, dag nabbit.
01:51 Just for example...
01:53 [music]
01:55 [screech]
01:55 [crash]
01:56 [screech]
01:56 Everything happens to me. It's Fate. That's what it is. Fate.
02:02 Listen to him blame me for his carelessness.
02:06 [laughs]
02:07 You know, accidents just don't happen by themselves.
02:10 They must be carelessly planned in advance.
02:13 So, step right up and have an accident.
02:16 The average home is really a complicated piece of machinery,
02:20 equipped with all the modern conveniences for having an accident.
02:25 If you insist.
02:26 [crash]
02:28 He did.
02:29 [music]
02:33 This one is called a throw rug, for obvious reasons.
02:36 [crash]
02:39 Accidents happen fast, don't they?
02:42 Let's just slow the picture down and see how he accomplished it.
02:50 Note how easy it is to have an accident.
02:56 Just a few carelessly misplaced objects.
03:01 Hold it! We missed one. Let's try that again.
03:04 [music]
03:14 And there you have it.
03:17 An awkward attitude by an inattentive, accident-prone individual.
03:22 Well, here we go again.
03:24 [music]
03:44 It's hard to believe, but Mr. Duck is really an upstanding, average citizen,
03:49 with average intelligence.
03:51 Kind, considerate, jolly, and usually very cautious.
03:56 He wouldn't take a chance sitting in an electric chair,
03:59 but look at the chances he takes around his home.
04:02 [music]
04:06 Everyone knows it's stupid to overload electrical equipment.
04:10 Frayed cords, frazzled nerves.
04:14 [mumbling]
04:17 [music]
04:19 [crash]
04:21 He certainly wouldn't put his head in a lion's mouth, but...
04:26 So now he's cooking with gas.
04:30 [crash]
04:32 [music]
04:37 He's gonna burn his hand.
04:40 [music]
04:43 [mumbling]
04:46 Cleaning fluid plus stove equals a surefire method for removing spots.
04:54 [crash]
04:56 [music]
05:01 He wouldn't think of going over Niagara Falls in a barrel,
05:04 but this particular maneuver is called...
05:09 falling down stairs.
05:12 There are many ways of doing this.
05:14 If you aren't careful...
05:18 the bumps-a-daisy half-twist...
05:22 [crash]
05:24 jelly roll...
05:26 [crash]
05:28 catapult-eye dive...
05:31 climbing Mount Everest...
05:34 [crash]
05:35 riding a roller coaster.
05:39 Now, Mr. Duck doesn't take chances.
05:42 He's just careless.
05:44 [crash]
05:46 Oh, yes. That's one I forgot to mention.
05:49 That's the last one.
05:51 [music]
06:00 I'm going to look for itself.
06:03 [music]
06:09 This is an average neighborhood.
06:12 These are average homes.
06:14 Average people live here...
06:17 having average accidents...
06:20 because they don't use average intelligence.
06:24 It's like I said.
06:26 Don't blame fate for your carelessness.
