The Guinness World Records are full of some of the most ludicrous feats of human endurance and strength. But one of the most sought-after records - and one of the more difficult ones - may be the world record for "Longest Marathon Watching Television."
It was already set once this year by a group of four Austrians who clocked in at around 92 hours. On April 8, 2016, a group of three New Yorkers tried to break that record again.
In an event organized by CyberLink's PowerDVD 16, Alejandro “AJ” Fragoso and Molly Ennis planned to watch back-to-back episodes of "Battlestar Galactica," "Twilight Zone," "Curb Your Enthusiasm," "Bob’s Burgers" and more.
While this might seem like a fun thing to do with a group of friends, the stringent rules make this record attempt a feat in endurance and discipline. Rules include the following:
Participants are not allowed to break eye contact with the television.
Participants get 5 minutes of break each hour which accumulates over time if not taken.
Participants are not allowed to engage in prolonged conversation (more then a few words.)
Here's the story of their grueling four-day journey to beat the world record.
Produced by Corey Protin. Additional camera by Zach Wasser and Grace Raver.
