'Just Give Me The Damn Sepak Takraw Ball'

[Tamizushi]

1:50 subliminal message

[TROLLIRL]

I understood all those references it's no big deal

[pennelia16]

This is what I understand, along with many other women, when I'm watching the sports channel.

[xSmokinAce]

you should absolutely press 8

[runescapeglicthes]

Hahahaha lololzz

[TheYouwontgetit]

we play this sport in europe... ...just with a normal soccer ball but basically it looks the same...

[llc263]

Sepak takraw is sport in South East Asia very long time. Thailand Malaysia&other played this sport like a culture.Let's you play and you will be fun.

Respect all country to played this game. I'm from Thailand.

[hadi257]

0.16....Sepak takraw..Doing ''libas'' took me 1 year+to master ....

i bet 1.15 the word 'tekongless' most of you dont understand LOlll

[imgame2121]

@hadi257

And you are so fucking cool....

[crashmidget15]

I really love it when people feel the need to explain every onion episode in the comment section.

[amiserable]

I find all American sports as incomprehensible as this lolerscates. It amazes me with the problems Americans have (that we all have), and they get all worked up about their sports or such meaningless "issues" as gay marriage or the abortion.

The Onion FTW!

[shamlix]

at least they knew the word 'tekong'

[Costa5252]

Sepak takraw (“kick ball”) is a uniquely Southeast Asian game (now played in other regions) that is similar to volleyball but is played with a woven rattan ball..

[BloodskullMannoroth]

I thought the humor was that the Americans in this are passionate about something foreign, we generally tend to be oblivious to other cultures so it's strange and funny to see this. I guess people have different interpretations of the humor in this.

[AudiORT7]

This sport was first started and invented by thai people and up till now soooo many counties are trying to complete with them but I'm guessing it's not working. Every Asian games in sepak takraw, thailand has it all both men and woman and this sport is all about team work because u play it so fast plus the ball really hurt if ur not use to it

[nisbahmumtaz909]

"Sa-peck tack-raw"?

It's pronounced Say-park Tuck-raw, by the way.

[ArmorKingRulez]

The way they say it..

Sepek tekraw ball

[yimmiytube]

they were told to change the name to footvolley to eligible to be in Olympics,No was the answer so new sport was created,guess what? footvolley and it will be shown at Olympics 2012.how s that for decade old sport????

but centuries old sport not allow to be in Olympics.

I call this corruption.all for the money.

[1nfest3d]

aku suke main sepak takraw.. NOT

[steelyman40]

"when you're in your 13.1 by 6.4, you've got to be thinking in terms of your regu. "

HELLO! OBVIOUSLY!

[shade270]

Damn that sport looks badass. They do flips and kick the ball in mid air, beats the hell out of most sports I've seen.

[nisbahmumtaz909]

@shade270

It's like volleyball, but with your feet. Pretty popular in Southeast Asia.

[Nykoletz]

it is popular in southeast asia.. specially i the philippines, thailand ad malaysia.. ninja soccer..hehe

[amiserable]

This is what all american sports sounds like to me. zomg how does anyone care about it so much??? the onion ftw

[aphisit619]

This is Thailand them best of Sepak Takraw Ball.

[mygaffer]

This is hilarious.

[aloranor]

"Yeah, I'm jealous..."

[efker1]

dam that sport looks sick as hell.

[TheCrawler333]

At least the sport is not gay like soccer.

[lusteraliaszero]

@TheCrawler333 litterally

[ILovePotatoes419]

Yeah

[gommgamm]

I'm Thai and if you want to know what is he said[Boy who had girl voice him]

he said: "someone[not sure] is setter and I'm a point-kick[i don't know how to used] no anything seems like "I'm the Best Blah mother f*cker like she accent with Thai accent "

I learned it when I was grade 11,not easily ST ball is really heavy .it's really amazing the players can pass it over the net[Yes!it from Malaysia not Thai]

I have something to say "ST is really GREAT and AMAZING to WATCH" super FUN

[ewthmatth]

@gommgamm it's a joke man. The translation was supposed to be wrong.

[1982oldschool]

chillit injomniac .. just because someone has invented a sport doesnt mean he has to dominate it... how about... boxing , sprinting , basketball dominated by the blacks.... or do u see japanese dominating and winning all the time in judo..

come on...

[minjiplqktor]

e pa tva si e bg jitboll weeee egati i kitaicite :D:D:D:D

[jegz55]

so funny XD

[chroniclesv]

wanna fight 1 0n 1 in pinas.!!

[rorcon]

Like usual, people are missing the point. People get that this video is a satire, but it's not satirical towards any Western sport.

It's simply making fun of news anchors that say vague things to make it sound like they know a lot about a sport they really don't when having a conversation with the sports analyst.

[ewthmatth]

@rorcon You think they aren't making fun of sports analysts too?

[ernevalente]

@rorcon This came out when T.O. and Chad Johnson (at the time) were getting notoriety for saying things like "just give me the damn ball". This is a satire on how the media reacted to and made a big deal about them saying that. The media uses situations like this to inject entertainment and drama to the sport, increasing it's mainstream appeal and sales. Parodizing a little-known sport like ST helps us to see how our focus has been led away from the sport itself.

[walmartio]

@rorcon

suck it, libtard

[walmartio]

@rorcon

suck it, libtard

[zuby555]

@rorcon I think you may be missing the point. The anchors AREN'T being vague, in fact they being very specific.

This video is pointing out how engrossed we can be into sports, which are pretty much meaningless. When they are describing Sepak Takraw, they describe it with detail, the technicalities, and the short interview with the player. To us, its completely UNIMPORTANT. But basketball? Oh, that's okay!

tl;dr It points out the unwarranted significance of professional sports.

[rojman123]

@zuby555 You nailed it dude. its NOT making fun of sports announcers. Its applying familiar broadcasting and presentation with a sports thats VERY obscure to us in the west. Final result? Funny shit!

[dfunkt]

"i love that!..."

[Injomniac]

sepak takraw was invented in malaysia; sepak means kick takraw means the name of the small ball.

but malaysia keep loosing on asian games and other matches lol funny facts

[xnightreaperx]

God I love the way that they pronounce all that Thai...

[derickhaywood]

i love sepak takraw so much fun to play but you have to be so intense to play well

[Speedj2]

"Jenga Construction corporation" ROFLMAO

[urinalbushrat]

Its actually like watching gridiron on CNN. I mean what the F*ck?

[sarumboonmee]

The correct spelling of ธัฒผืช is ธัญพืช. Very funny video indeed.

[SteveVader101]

Sepak Takraw: Quidditch for ninjas.

[danielpassigmailcom]

lol, i thought this was a fake sport...

[DuhItsPatrick]

wow this being the onion network is this a real sport?

[muhammadhafizriandi]

@DuhItsPatrick This is a real sport

[GaolisVideoLog]

T_T I just wish the Philippines were better at this.-.-'

[lovemetwo2]

LMFAO.

[stfugtfobitch]

malaysia n thailand always in final when it come to this sport

[0thaistick0]

Tekraw is popular in every city of Thailand except Bangkok, but the funniest part of this video is .....there's nothing such a 3 trillion baht deal on the fake 3d models cereal box - -"

[CamButler]

Gotta love how the newscasters know all the in-and-outs about this sport just like it was Baseball, Basketball, or any other American cultured sport. The Onion rules.

Also, I want a "SEPAK TAKRAW" shirt

[ryukXsayu27]

"Sepak Takraw is more popular than ever, but is it for the right reasons, I mean, do you wanna talk about his regular substitution pattern or the fact that he is dating Nahattai Lek Buhm Run?" What a firestarter!!

[argozempo]

Nguyen Thi Buch Thuy is an overrated glory boy and a whiner. Entering the court without the technical delegates permission, leaving the court without the technical delegates permission, getting moved from the service circle to the quarter circle with the King's Cup on the line, whining about the running of the offense to the coach - he can't stay out of trouble. The Chon Buri Tigers should go with the draft picks and dump this poisonous cobra and Damn Sepak Takraw Ball hog. Hey! Who's with me?

[Stapler78]

The crawl at the bottom of the screen is hilarious!

[keir193]

holy fuck

how is this sport not the most popular sport

[kkinnm]

@keir193

cuz no one else can play it :P

[HaxxorsProduction]

@keir193 America tried it and sucked at it lol

[paerarru]

I remember the good old days of sepak takraw. Nothing like these big mouth cocky youngins to ruin the sport.

[CamButler]

Thanks to this video I know how to pronounce "Nguyen"

[Jimanji23]

The Onion Owns!! hahah but this sport rocks!!

[littlebopepe]

i usually have to watch each episode of the onion twice in a row. Once to concentrate on the actual story and the second time just to read the ticker...lol.  Gotta love the onion.

[r0pp0nmatsu]

"Norton, VA Mayor's speech betrayed his poor understanding of vampires today: 'Like a vampire, new taxes will eat the brains of our residents.' Mayor announced."

i love it XD

[yuugiho]

I thought this was the game from Final Fantasy X for a minute...

[halfblooddutchprince]

"More lawsuits in store for Jenga Construction Corporation."

lmfao. i love reading the stuff on the bottem

[CamButler]

3 trillion Thai baht = 91.82700 billion U.S. dollars

Hilarious little random number by the onion.

[awaseniu]

I know this is really comedy, but it this an actual sport?

[Gerome63120m3]

yes it is a sport

[awaseniu]

Thanx

[sanosuky09]

yep.. it is popular hear in south east asia..

[vijil]

@awaseniu yeah man, an incredibly cool sport too. It's a shame white people can't play - we're physically incapable lol

[tonski9000]

@awaseniu yep it is

[noah1970]

o_O

[CAZekany]

looks like volleyball with feet.

[edwebo]

this guys my favourite onion news anchor. he reminds me of Hani Salam from 'Body of Lies'

[bullbunnies]

this is amazing, i want to watch this in canada

[CyrussTheMan]

This game looks badass.

[Black70Fastback]

i have watched this before but did not know it was a real sport till i looked it up today

wikipedia

[Kitfistable]

I will now go out and buy pastichios O_O

*moans like zombi*

[wazzy3007]

this sport makes all other sports look lame ;)

[ratutevita]

Hey cool....volley ball but by kicking...what a cool sport. i wana learn i wana learn!

[mohicanmalaysia]

if u really want to learn..come to thailand or malaysia..this 2 is awesome!

[MorroccoSurrogate]

Sepak takraw is such an awesome sport to watch. It totally needs to be more popular worldwide.

[Auffique]

proud to be living where i grew up with this sport..!!

sepak(kick) takraw(the ball)...

[djl1980]

I wonder if people suffer real injuries playing this, or if they just fall down and cry, grabbing their ankle for no reason like the soccer players in europe

[redblueblack15]

Is this a real game? I know the Onion is fake but what about this game they're talking about?

[suburiboy]

yes the game is real, the joke is the way they are covering it.

[Vulturu]

there's no sport called "soccer". it's FOOTBALL!!

[gorgeousaur]

That game were people put on helmets and shoulder pads and try to tackle the guy with the ball? Yeah, that's a fun game.

[Vulturu]

dumb americans... your sport is invented long after European football and it's played holding 90% of the time the ball in the hand. you barely touch the ball with the foot...

[gorgeousaur]

I'm sorry? I fail to realize why I should give a fuck and why you're being so hostile over such trivial semantics.

[walmartio]

@gorgeousaur

suck it, libtard

[gorgeousaur]

@walmartio Mind explaining what a libtard is and why I'm being called one?

[walmartio]

@gorgeousaur Anyone who uses the expression 'trivial semantics'...

[gorgeousaur]

@walmartio Educated people?

[blindthrall]

@walmartio Bet you don't even know what that means.

[zellmer]

Hah, tell the truth and the euro trash will throw a fit. Jim Rome's rants about soccer jump into my mind..

[HarvsPenzance]

Who the fuck is Jim Rome? Why the hell should anyone care about the dull witterings of yet another mindless yank. Go away, in small jerky movements (or I will taunt you a second time)

[zellmer]

Put "jim rome soccer" into search and watch any of them. They're all pretty accurate and true.. . "No goals, fake injuries, dumb fans that just want to fight and don't care about the game, mullets, boring, decided by penalty kicks, and zero fan interest over here" to use a few quotes.

[hegor]

Its a cultural thing. I assure you, if you put me in front of an intense soccer game, I will fall asleep within 15 minutes.

Thank God for MLS Soccer here in the states, I no longer suffer from insomnia.

[Vulturu]

if I watch your football (soccer) league I'll probably fall asleep too...

[Beahler]

yeah that is a fun game actually. i like soccer too but it just isnt the same. maybe you should try both before you act like a faggot

[gorgeousaur]

Actually I have and I liked playing both, but I also like exposing how easy it is for people to get their panties in a bunch.

[AngryIrish55]

I never understood American football. Men put on 40 pounds of body armour to play Rugby? And there are Rules? lol it makes me laugh.

[Michael702Vegas]

@AngryIrish55 because the players are over paid

[MissTeenPregnancy]

@AngryIrish55 American youth play football all their lives without 'armour' of any kind. Injuries that change people's lives forever are avoided by pads used to protect against injuries. Imagine that. I've met football players outside of the field-they are huge. But it has become a game of premadonnas all making minimum million dollars even if they sit on the bench all season.

[volcom13xx]

hey no one cares....JUST GIVE ME THE DAMN SEPAK TAKRAW BALL

[dwall932]

I would actually buy that sepak takraw shirt.

[sam89162]

Reggie Greengrass instant Classic lol

[mrcheeto1006]

I wouldnt say everyone in thailand plays this. I didnt meet to many people that did this last summer that i was there. But then again i was mostly hanging around the muay thai group :)

[ralphieboogerbottoms]

What's so fake about the Onion?!

Beach Volleyball is a FUCKING OLYMPIC SPORT!!!

You people are retards!

These are REAL ATHLETES!!!

[crock703]

D.C. area people -- these is a Sepak Takraw club (All wlecome to practice/play) in Fredericksburg, Va.

[LadyofTheSummer]

[MARIOLOPEZ26]

wow lol man ive never seen this isht in my life ha ha ha ha ha wow

[nicktheking21]

Wow, you realise this isnt real right?

The onion news is a fake network...

Hes actually not selfish at all

[bbennoman]

well, to be more accurate, they are a real network that does fake news stories. You are right with your other statements though.

[Mosquito180]

IS that an actual sport?

[XioJester]

Yep it's real...look it up on google. It's like volleyball, soccer and gymnastics with 3 guys per team. pretty crazy

[dfunkt]

"thuy: good luck monkey or poisonous cobra for sepak tekraw?"

excellent question indeed! of course, if the man hoists the king's cup he has the right to talk as much shit as he wants...

[TheHiLiteShow7]

terrible! what a selfish, self absorbed tekraw player....sadly, this is the state of most tekraw athletes these days! =)

[Ebuverthebicepcurler]

This is how all ball sports seem to me, so I'll stick with MMA.

[bobby472]

"Nasa announces plan to put international space station astronaut on the earth by 2009" ROFLMFAO i love these vids and the texts at the bottom.

[kyebean]

Man i can't wait for the Bumafak Thhawapisha Bowl. Just hangin with the guys in front of the new 60" dimashuflapa. Drinking ice cold soy sauce and snacking on yudomuratodits brand crunchy nuggets

[motleyhar]

Oh shut up, it's satire... get over yourself!

[tiuric77]

This game rules and I think the bad ass attitudes only make the game more interesting.

[RedHilariousComments]

makes you proud to be asian

[ChristianTarsney]

Wow...

[Salamander65]

i'd watch that sport!

[SteveCentracchio]

Western hemisphere needs more awesome sports...

[lordcrull]

Like gladiator fighting?

[mldnathai]

Everyone in Thailand plays this game but it is nearly impossible for almost any Westerner no matter how fit to play it.

[tiuric77]

That's true it does look a little retarded.

[rpm2004]

a challenge eh?

I accept sir!

[wbrycem]

Takraw is awesome haha ... played it in phys. ed in grade 11. I sucked at it, but it's pretty sweet

[enotil]
