About
Portal Radio Loop 10 Hours, continued Skip To 5:19:00, refers to a loop of the radio tracks from the video game Portal used in a viral video that, at around the 5:19:00 timestamp, cuts to footage of a man known as "King Assripper" in his underwear doing sit-ups and pushups and farting aggressively in various locations for about two minutes. The video was uploaded to YouTube in 2012 and went viral in 2021 after an image macro telling people to search for the video and skip to the timestamp started circulating online.
Origin
On June 4th, 2012, YouTuber[1] Wheatley GLaDOS uploaded a 10-hour loop of the radio tracks from the 2007 Valve video game Portal (shown below). At timestamp 5:18:58, the footage cuts from a graphic of the radio with a timer in the corner to footage of a man in his underwear. He says it's "time to do some pushups" then does sit-ups and farts throughout, occasionally burping too. He gets into various positions and keeps farting and working out, repeatedly saying he's "ripping ass," grunting with relief after each fart. He eventually stops working out and sits on a dresser to continue farting, calling himself "king ass ripper."
The man in the video is known online as "king assripper" and also "hairy and gross," and used to post mukbang-like videos where he would eat gross food in the most disgusting angles possible. His videos are archived on Google Drive[2] and the YouTube[3] channel Little Boy. The context of the inserted clip sees King Assripper working out after making a New Years' resolution to get in shape (shown below, reupload).
