The Guinness World Records are full of some of the most ludicrous feats of human endurance and strength. But one of the most soughtafter 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 backtoback 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 fourday journey to beat the world record.
Produced by Corey Protin. Additional camera by Zach Wasser and Grace Raver.
