Quidditch For Muggles (CBS News)

[rxaviers8]

@obzajd then why did u watch it

[MrRahmEmanuel]

wtf?

[obzajd]

it's a losers game, I say...pathetic

[HarboeDrinker]

How come when Harry is trying to catch the snitch it's called quidditch, but when I'm trying to catch the snitch it's called witness intimidation?

[anikid0392]

Tom Brady = Seeker of Griffindorf

[ThatHauntFreak2]

real life quidditch (aka girlfriend/boyfriend repellent)

[rotcivledorot]

@ThatHauntFreak2 let me fix that for you, "Human" repellant.

[smartiejess]

why isn't the quaffle red??

[radicalairhead]

This is what napalm was invented for.

[crouch2kuyt]

They should use a greased up deaf guy as the snitch

[jwendeborn]

i just died a little inside when i learned that people can get scholarships for playing quidditch...

[drewski945]

I'm very excited my son plays quidditch. It's exactly why I sent him to college...



[BigSovietPanda]

I want to see Vinnie Jones play this.

[sidrco]

i have seen this!!!

[mayoyiskis]

where are the beaters?

[iChubbyface]

fkn mud bloods...

[Kvassing]

I like HP, but this is still one of the most stupid things i've ever seen.

[wilhelm1407]

I used to play Quidditch, till I took a bludger to the knee.

[jdeathblood]

I used to play Quidditch, until I took a bludger to the face.

[MrMatto91]

My college doesn't have Qudditch, it doesn't have any sports. The college I go to is a career college.

[TheMomoara9]

did they mention the beaters?

[rfzh199]

jaja Quidditch para Muggles xD jajaaj

[violetstars7]

3:09 what a violent snitch... XD

[pinkdisneyanime]

THIIIS!! THIS IS AWESOME!! *O*

[AsherMarieLovesYou]

MY DREAM.

[LEweeMaceedee]

it should be 150 points!

[OrangeSodaKing]

Thumbs up if you lol'ed at 1:25.

[VashWolfwood1]

It would be cool, but without the cloaks or brooms

[cycrosley]

@VashWolfwood1 then it wouldn't be quidditch!

[KingOfKingz819]

lol this is hilarious...a dude running around in yellow is the Snitch, and dodgeballs are Bludgers

[sophie0124]

that is my dream when i grow up :)

[SDKM4o]

nerds

[DawgTycoon]

I like how the surrounding buildings fit, now all you need are british accents and projections for spells and such

[doodleguitarist]

I'm a member of a quidditch team! :D

[SDKM4o]

@doodleguitarist nerd

[doodleguitarist]

@SDKM4o Nah man. We just did it for the lolz. This weird girl i know started a quidditch team named "Team Cake-Moustache" Because we like cake and mustaches! :D :D

[wKOBE24]

this is gay

[killahprophecy]

How did i get here from "Good Guy Greg IRL" xD

[mcdoobleh]

LMAO

[smoothcriminalx1]

OMG, Iv Got To Mention This To My P.E Teachers!

[illricky]

Sorry, I meant SNITCH, not SEEKER.

[illricky]

Just add an A.I. into a seeker to program it to fly everywhere and have an off switch when someone catches it.

Yeah, I'm crazy.

[illricky]

The flying broom concept is possible. I may be out of the limb, but if they get enough funding for a stadium, they can power the ground with high pressure air (like a simulator for practicing how to para-shoot). The sporting uniforms would have to be made out of special material which would help them float from the air. The only issue would be, how would they then move to a direction they would want.

Seeker could be made as a robot. We see flying helicopter toys and planes everywhere we go.

[smoothcriminalx1]

@illricky Omg You are a genius! love the idea

[erindalaxluva]

I LOVE THIS!!!

[x10Rose]

I HAVE TO BRING THIS TO MY COLLEGE

[broadwaystar2b4eva]

I.........I have no words. O.o

[BenFosterism]

You know this could become professional very easily.

[TheKenjikidd]

the hell?

[gdhmicolites]

i'd ask about the whereabouts of the beaters, but the obvious explanation is a lack of bludgers. :)

[supermegasonic]

i am feeling so much emotion rite now

[AnaCarolPQ]

these muggles...

[MelanieMelanieee]

awesome!!!!

[stephiechan909]

1:04

Actually the Firebolt is the freshest model out today ;]

[animewarrior08]

awesome i wish my college had something like this.

[88adamjohn]

Why are people hating on this? They aren't hurting anyone playing it and if they enjoy it then fair play to them. It's just a game no dumber than any other sport. At least it's getting people out and doing exercise. Everyone looked like they were having a good time so leave them be.

[DarkWorldCrew]

Definitely a low point in Greg Gumbles career

[Goochbag8]

Can you imagine what the future holds? Shit, they'll probably have flying brooms for kids by the time we are all dead.

Let's just hope doctors get better too XD

[CookieDrugger]

I WANT TO PLAY! BRING IT TO THE LAND OF HARRY POTTER... and Wales. I'LL EVEN START A TEAM! WHOOP!

[mrshackztor]

BADASS. I WANNA PLAY.

[longkorts]

HAHAHAHAHAH this is NICE :D:D

[TheWhiteBeerBong]

Honestly this is the most low-social life activity created since highschool/college Debate teams....

[mrshackztor]

@TheWhiteBeerBong

People have taken something magical from a fictional world and made it real. They've used their creative minds to make it a reality for people who love Harry Potter and the game of quidditch. They aren't intending to make a career out of it, they just want to have fun. Just like any other sport, it's competitive, fun exercise and it promotes team spirit. I would hardly call that "low."

[hiyalk]

im lizing

[natroxx1]

These guys are so getting laid :]

[Kribecky1237]

Mother of god! *Slowly takes sunglasses off* :o

[supermec131]

LOOOOL!!!!!!

Man, I'm going to do this with my friends!

Quidditch ftw lmao!

[anaswickedmusic]

I WANNA BE THE SEEKER!!! or the snitch xDD

[penguincat33]

as much as all these nerds want this to be a real sport..... it will never. just making sure all of you know that.... these have to be the least athletic kids in the world....

[TheWhiteBeerBong]

To those insulting the game...

I assume you're a jock (roid monkey) with nothing better to do than pick on people who have a higher IQ than you...

It's sorry, stupid fucks like you that caused the Columbine massacre....

Shoot up some more hormones, lift your weights, and kindly shut the fuck up....for once.

[JordanWmoore]

@TheWhiteBeerBong ...you are aware Quidditch is a fictional game right? Plus, your insults against peoples IQ do nothing to your benefit, since those "roid monkeys" are playing REAL sports

[TheWhiteBeerBong]

@JordanWmoore

...No shit, it's a fictional game.

My point was, people who get online to talk shit about other people are just plain stupid/attention whores...

And what is a jock gonna do after highschool, normally?

Most of the time, drop out, get a dead end job, and the world stops giving a flying fuck about them PERIOD.

less than 2% of them EVER make it past highschool/college athletics.

[JordanWmoore]

@TheWhiteBeerBong What do Quidditch players do after high school? ;)

[Emper0rH0rde]

Muggle Quidditch would be so much cooler without the broomsticks. The players look like they're running around holding themselves.

[jdelphy]

thats what the muggles do yea sure

[dragonangel6]

So. Sad.

[xfyre101]

lol so where the fuck did the snitch dude go all that time...prolly to fuk some chick while those losers played that

[victious]

@xfyre101 wow bro you must be so tough. you can say they are losers for playing but you sat here and watched the whole video, must have reaallllyyy hated it huh?

[chocolatechipbffs123]

I SO WANNA PLAY THATT I WANNA BE KEEPER YAYYAYAYAYA

[logan0959]

u pepole deseust me

[stevefox247]

Let it be known that this was the day that Greg Gumbel knew he had jumped the shark.

[dino312989]

The perfect game for nerds like U and Me!

[ozerataoglu]

I can't believe I am saying this and god forgive me and the rest of the man kind, but this is even more gay than Twilight.

[Torrii5335]

@ozerataoglu It takes gay person to know a gay thing! So it looks like your no better then us. LOSER!

[Benjamin12361]

wish it was real...oh wait! it is!

[invadernatattack]

Who else wants to see Middlebury finally lose at next years QWC?

[Bleachfan131]

its only a matter of time where jocks take over this sport :/

[Denim9330]

This... brings tears to my eyes. I never thought I would see the day this came to life.

[Curseco]

I've never been more embarrassed. Being a professional Quidditch player doesn't get you laid.

[Kamurotetsu]

This would totally kick ass if only the brooms weren't there...

[CanisW]

@Kamurotetsu The brooms make it challenging. The game would be way too easy if you could use both hands.

[Torrii5335]

@Kamurotetsu I was thinking the SAME thing!

[BrowncoatApprentice]

i admit it is damn good fun would be a good sport lol but really? brooms between your legs? oh please, screw the brooms and just make it a free for all rugby match with no rules or stupid messing just jump on the bastard with the quaffle and take it by force!! or at least use the damn brooms to hit em!!

[MeWantCookie51895]

silly Muggles, the snitch is worth 150 points not 50 points

[AndehBC1337]

@MeWantCookie51895 I'm glad someone other than me noticed that.

[mimirr14]

what a mess

[MegaAdmiralAckbar]

Where are the beaters?

[ShyteKreek46]

@MegaAdmiralAckbar I think those are the ones that threw the red ball at the reporter.

[MeWantCookie51895]

@dreaminsleepin it's gay? really? I didn't know games have sexual feelings. I guess you learn something new every day

[wacdaddy22]

@MeWantCookie51895 thanks for making him look like a complete idiot. kbyeee

[MeWantCookie51895]

@wacdaddy22

that wasn't my goal. my goal was to show him (or her) that using "gay" in that way is wrong. If I have to make him (or her) look like an idiot in the process, so be it.

[inneralpha]

@MeWantCookie51895 Who cares???

[BigMisterApple]

@MeWantCookie51895 Actually, gay means happy or something along those lines like fun, cheerfull etc... so in a way, I guess it is very gay.. ^^

[Apoc447]

would be soooo much less wierd as hell if you could get rid of the brooms LOL

[MinrDours]

this has to be the most ridiculous thing ive ever seen

[fabanfaban]

am i the only one who think that this is pathetic?

[criticobr]

So damn ridiculous..omg

[willderphil]

@rainingviolet Yeah i think they should ditch the brooms too. Plus it just seems like an accident waiting to happen.

[VirtuosoVentura]

Her snatch is loose ;)

[MultiBoonboon]

THE SNITCH IS LOOSE.

[schrubbe911]

omr!!!!!!! im gonna try to starta team at my middle school!!

[mossadninjagirl]

@schrubbe911 i wish i could too but alas im the only one crazy enough to try

[redhockey]

college football player here

so if i switch sports, i get to lay waste to all these losers?

fuck even having a team

[SkooledINC]

@redhockey i agree. just show up in a muscle shirt and be like "fuck bitches"

[AnimeMetalFan1]

@redhockey Whos the bigger loser,the loser or the loser who follows them.

[brokks3454]

If they can make a quidditch team can i make a BASEketball team

[musclepieformybaby]

Drop that sh-t you are trying to invent and come say hello to the guests

-Edison`s dad

I'm very proud of my son that tries to imitate an impossible game from a fantasy book

-Random dad

BONUS

Don't get me started...

-Justin Bieber's dad

[furuzon12]

the snitch is hawt....i love how he can just run wherever he wanrs on campus

[SmileyTheAwesome]

the snitch is supposed to be 150 points not 50....

[neohillop]

@SmileyTheAwesome it's supposed to be worth 150 in the fictional version, but the creators of the muggle version decided that would be too much of an advantage so they lowered it to 30, the reporter got it wrong.

[karatechopgeo]

BA-HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHA­HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

WAAAA-HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA­HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

AAAAAAHHHHAHAHAHAHAHA

HA HA HA HA HA OH GOD OH GOD OH FUCKING HOLY FUCK GOD

[konk2k]

They must have nothing else to report

[videomagnet06]

I love harry potter and all but they look silly running with brooms between their legs.... The brooms can't really fly so why are you using them? And good luck with the bludgers too. The only cool adaption was the human snitch.

[MintBerryClunch]

The gayness of this can not be overstated...

[snotchstar]

I would love to see a real athlete stiff arming and tackling the shit out of these people.

[cupcakemichi]

@snotchstar They do. Trust me. The parts they show weren't that contact-heavy, but games can get very physical.

[GreekFreakyJoker]

tha fuck?

[GergJG]

Utterly embarassing. For god's sake it's a half assed afterthought of a game in a children's book series. What's next, college Calvinball?

[8Tinsche8]

@GergJG Have you actually read the books? They are not children's book. They deal with matters such as Death, Immortality, Love (and the abscence of love) and Fear. And not in a cute, little way. It's quite realistic and mature.

And even if it was a children's book, these people are having fun and are actually active. They're creative, compatitive and forming a community. (Guidelines of the IQA, by the way)

[MintBerryClunch]

@8Tinsche8 Actually, they are children's books that grow up with the audience. This is also very evident in the movies based on the books.

[anaHajar]

@MintBerryClunch very well said :)

[Faroah2]

@GergJG If you think college Calvinball would be a bad idea, then you obviously Hate Fun.

[cupcakemichi]

@GergJG Actually, the fictional rules of quidditch were really well thought out. Well enough to form a real-life version of it anyway.

[Satsunohadouryu]

Actually this looks pretty cool, I would pick up my broom and beat up the snitch with it, catching it and winning with ease, MVP baby!

[62hockb]

i refuse to play quidditch until harry potter pops out of my closet and gives me his firebolt

[Allycat229]

I cant believe these filyhy muggles playing our sports

[skalla1000]

Yeah, she likes to put that broom between her legs.

[lorkan333]

As long as this game makes the people playing it happy and no one is offended by it, well there's no problem to that. Haters gonna hate, you can't please everybody :P

[qIcKful]

Check out my best of quidditch music video. And i thought we are strange ?!

Greetings from germany o.O

[darkestanimal]

it would be better to play "this" with motorcycles instead of brooms , that way we would see at least some crashes , and broken bones >:)

[cupcakemichi]

@darkestanimal Our latest injury at practice was a concussion. There have also been broken collarbones. Enough for you?

[lildreamerqueen]

i absolutely love the golden snitch

[Algorithm16]

@lildreamerqueen He's ridiculously attractive.

[Rikkuyo]

I think people should try to stay realistic here..... until they do invent a jetpact like Loftworthy said. Otherwise it just looks plain silly...

[tylertwo]

homos?



[Trojanballer54]

I wanna play just so I can beat up on people

[Diarkia124]

This looks hella lame. I lost more respect from my abject thoughts of Harry Potter.

[svakee2000]

@Diarkia124 don't knock it till you try it

[Diarkia124]

@svakee2000 When the brooms fly, i'll consider.

[whothefkamiwatching]

ridiculous

[sardinz1]

"Or the real world to you and me"

No this is still the Muggle world to me

[htmdraw]

I meant to say that the human race made great things. Why haven’t we been able to invent a flying broom was a hypothetical question.

[htmdraw]

For example, New Horizons is one of the fastest spaceships; a specially built Atlas V with both a Centaur upper stage and an additional booster rocket accelerated New Horizons to 36,000 mph with respect to the Earth. Right now it's heading for Pluto at a velocity in excess of 50,000 mph relative to the Sun. It will likely be possible to achieve speeds several times greater, but even then it won't be fast enough to travel to other stars without spending thousands of years en-route.

[htmdraw]

First it wouldn’t be on earth. In space there is no friction, therefore when your velocity increases it is kept throughout the journey. They don’t fly at light velocity, they reach increasing velocities that are getting near to the speed of light.

[htmdraw]

Is it difficult to invent a small flying object with a brooms shape and equivalent balls? I mean we have spacial ships that almost fly at light velocity. What’s up with us?

[Gundam095]

@htmdraw If it is as easy as you're leading on, why haven't you made it? Surely it can't be too difficult if you're following scientific rules and such right?

[forgottencitizen]

@htmdraw What planet are you from? We don't have any ships that fly anywhere close to the speed of light here on Earth my friend.

[htmdraw]

I never thought I would see the day when nerds would have a sport where they would be enhanced players. =P

[theblackdahlia88]

they cannot be serious...this is insane!....you know I do see a problem! there are no bludgers!!...what's up with that!

[smestella]

O______O

[darimafo]

HAHAHHAHAHHAHHA!!! Talk about the love for your nut sack hahaha....I think even the real cahracters of the movie are laughing their ass off every time they encounter this stupid people XD...

[Hufflepuff2412]

I wish that they had actual Quidditch leagues!!!!!!!!!!!!

[TrueBlueMetalhead]

I love how Greg Gumbel is trying his hardest to look serious.

[Onichan03]

poor muggles...

[Sectumsemprist]

So, the Snitch runs of the field at the beginning. Where did he go?

[tecnogrl125]

What?! NO Beaters?? For shame! :(

[TulkorHAOMARUSH]

It looks like a bunch of ppl running around holding their dicks so they don't piss themselves.

[MusicFreak6893]

no bludgers? seems to me it work the same way the snitch does just more.....bludger-y

[demonolagy]

Ha! That's freaking awesome!!! :D x

[mnml0]

xDDDDDDDDDDDDD

[ThatBoombangUser]

Muggles..
