West Texas CEO what is this shit?

Ahhh, Google search makes it seem like it was a one day event that actually aired before the Superbowl. Teams consisted of celebrities. Explains why most throws are bad, and most catches are dropped.

Hilarious all the same. I want to see more.

Yeah, put the sandwich down and get in here!

Women when they go to the hair saloon?

[ÆMNE22A!C]

Psychopaths and crystal are a lethal combination.

 

[ÆMNE22A!C]

At least we got NASA.

Fuck, I forgot about the depressed loaf of bread!

TL;DR: It's a comedy event. Even the team names are meant to be funny: "Wessi" was sometimes used as a derogatory term for West Germans by East Germans. And "Ossi" was the derogatory term used for East Germans by West Germans. So "Westside Wessis" and "Eastside Ossis" are a play on that.

Now that I understand it's for laughs, it's completely brilliant. I'm still laughing, so damn goofy

 

[Days like these...]

Tl;dr is this about poop?

cool! It kinda does look like a laugh.

This also make s a lot of sense to me. To those who say the Germans dont have a sense of humour, they do. They LOVE slapstick comedy (Mr. Bean is big over there, and worldwide actually) and this is kinda slapstick.

 

[ÆMNE22A!C]

Their nature is something else coming from my point of reference.

Or Horse Dancing. (How that's an Olympic sport I'll never know.)

Yeah, for some reason slapstick is popular over here. But we also tend to laugh about jokes about language. E.g. Johann König's (one of the more popular German comedians) jokes are mostly based on language and the manner of speech.

Question for the Germans in this thread. Is it true you use the German word for "venomous" to mean neat, amazing, or cool? (Note - sorry for the bit of the derail. Just curious because I was reading about how Porsche lost a court case in the US over the original 911 turbo because one of the German engineers described it as such. A real nutty case since the driver was both drunk and racing. Yeah, American juries can be even weirder.)

What? No. We use it for Karens.

Why have horses when you can just use sticks?

 

[balls of snow]

Ngl I would watch an entire season of this with that commentary.

 

[ahtlas7]

Must be really hard to catch the ball with those gloves!

Sorry I don't speak Italian.

 

[Dacvak]

I don’t know what I expected that video to be, but color me interested. It’s basically combining the two most violent team sports into one. And what’s more German than stacking violence?

I’m in.

Did the Harkonnen in Dune remind you of something?

does it still have proper rules?

 

[demigod]

I thought this was going to be a big tit German thread, disappointed.

I can throw and catch better than these fools.

 

[Hudo]

Dunno. Probably? I don't watch shows like this.
