Austrian Man Breaks World Record by Threading 10 Balloons Through His Nose and Out His Mouth in One Minute

“An Austrian man who calls himself the King of the Freaks appeared on German TV and threaded ten uninflated balloons through his nose and out his mouth in under sixty seconds, claiming a Guinness World Record. He prepared by testing various balloon brands and lightly oiling each one — because apparently that is the kind of thing a person optimises for.”

Why It's Weird

Some stories exist in a category all their own, defying easy explanation or categorization. While the weirdness score is more modest, the story still offers a fascinating glimpse into life's unexpected moments.

March 23 (UPI) -- An Austrian man took his unusual party trick to a German TV series and broke the Guinness World Record for the most balloons passed through the nose and out the mouth in one minute.

Malte Dünser, the self-proclaimed "King of the Freaks" who amassed an Instagram following for his unusual stunts, attempted the balloon trick on the set of Guinness World Records' TV series Die große Show der Weltrekorde in Munich.

Dünser threaded uninflated balloons through one of his nostrils and pulled them out of his mouth 10 times in one minute to break the record.

The amateur daredevil said he spent time experimenting with different types of balloons until he found the optimal brand and style for his record attempt. He said the balloons were lightly covered in oil for the attempt to make the nose insertion go smoother.

The residents are proud of the name anyway, which may or may not have originated at an insect-ruined church ice cream social.
