Where does the “Lasier’s Grape Shock” meme come from?
On February 21, 1996, during the Festa da Uva (Grape Festival) in Caxias do Sul, reporter Lasier Martins was covering the event live for Jornal do Almoço on RBS TV. While touching a metal stand holding bunches of grapes, he received a 220-volt shock, collapsed, and broke a rib, which sent him to the hospital. The anchor back in the studio tried to carry on with the broadcast as if nothing had happened, which made the moment even funnier. The clip sat mostly forgotten for a decade until it was uploaded to YouTube in 2006, where it spread widely across the Brazilian internet.
