FunkyTown is a 2 minutes and 50 seconds long video of a man being savagely tortured in a white-tiled, mostly empty room, while jarringly upbeat music plays in the background. The man is seen lying on the ground with his arms and legs tied up with what appears to be an extension cord or plastic wire. This man has his hands cut off, his face skinned off | FunkyTown is a 2 minutes and 50 seconds long video of a man, believed to be a rival cartel member, being savagely tortured and tied up in a white-tiled, mostly empty room, while jarringly upbeat music plays in the background. The man is seen lying on the ground with his arms and legs tied up with what appears to be an extension cord or plastic wire. This man has his hands cut off at the wrists, his face skinned off, resulting in a bloodly skull, and his eyes gouged out while he lies in a pool of blood and screams and gurgles in pain while the torturers mock and laugh at him. The man was also drugged with substances such as adrenaline intravenously or through an IV drip beforehand to keep him alive longer while the murderers torture him. | ||
The man, who barely resembles a person, manages to get his arms untied and tries to reach for his face. The murderers slit the man's throat with a sickle and a box-cutter, and shove a pole down his mouth. The video does not capture the final moments when they end up completely killing the man, but he is unlikely to survive due to the severity of the wounds and infections being inevitable. The torture was likely part of an execution, like many Mexican criminal organizations, they'll execute people in the most brutal way possible. | The man, who barely resembles a person, manages to get his arms untied and tries to reach for his face.

On February 14, 2021, a video titled "Hi" was uploaded to goretube.net by user UzeeeT. This clip is yet another drug cartel gore video but has an eerily similar setting to FunkyTown. In the video, some cartel members decapitate a man and play soccer with his head in a familiar-looking, white-tiled, mostly empty room. It's possible that the people behind FunkyTown are also behind this video. It's also possible that there are more murder videos out there that take place in that same dreaded room, filmed by the murderers who made FunkyTown.<ref>youtube.com/watch?v=LpNT-oGbXaQ</ref> | On February 14, 2021, a video titled "Hi" was uploaded to goretube.net by user UzeeeT.
