Japanese Binocular Soccer


 
 17 Jan 2013   Awesome, Funny, Sports, Video, WTF, Youtube

This video is a year old, but I don’t really care because this is the hardest that I’ve laughed this year. I had tears streaming down my face. There were times that I couldn’t breathe. It was that good.

Please, if you are having a bad day, watch this video. You will not be disappointed. Here’s a GIF if you need extra convincing.

    Finally, a sport I could watch for 90 minutes.

    I like how they got *slightly* better at it.

    Holy crap. I grew up in Japan in the 80′s and early 90′s, and I totally remember seeing this skit. Some of you might know the host as Vic Romano, but he’s one of my favorite Japanese actors named Beat Takeshi. He directs and acts in some badass Japanese gangster movies. Tarantino actually cites him as one of his inspirations. OK. That’s all.

      yea he is in a LOT of things. most of them are good, but a version of zatoichi that he stars in was pretty underwhelming : (

        Really? I liked it.

          I did, too; however, the dance sequence at the end TOTALLY threw me off. I couldn’t stop laughing the entire time.

            Yeah, it caught me by complete surprise; after I got over the initial ‘…wtf…’ I think it made me like the movie even more. Now that I think about it, I think I want to watch that again tonight now.

            i think it was just my expectations that were out of whack. i dunno. i think i was expecting a darker, more serious movie and this was a little bit on the lighter side.

            the dancing at the end was pretty awesome. i actually enjoyed that haha

    Finally someone clutching their leg at a soccer match from an injury that actually occurred! How refreshing!

    This is like the bastardisation of the phrase “so near yet so far”
