funniest video ever in olympic history

[bakabon114]

I remember this swimming dude from sports news. He came from "Equatorial Guinea".

[gianca60]

He's afraid to swim...

[Onmilevel]

This niqqa

[DayseRN]

this may be the best thing someone French has ever done

[CreepersClassified]

laugh it up french fries...

[CreepersClassified]

So if you were at the olympics you wouldn't be nervous...?

[kdsk8er14]

y d hell r they laughin cuz he black races basterds

[jaghatardejheheskoja]

hahah i love the french guys :)

[AquasJuggernoid]

The 2 really good swimmers got disqualified so he had to swim alone and did awful but still set his country's record cuz they cant swim lom

[jamezpaintball776]

i dont get whats wrong?

[Tilan123]

This is all because he's black. Racist French bastards.

[KKKSS67]

@Tilan123 Yeah right. Nothing wrong with his swimming.

[uj313]

I didnot understand what happened can any body tell me ?

[bumble16]

@uj313 It looks to me like everyone else got disqualified for jumping the starter gun. although for everyone to be disqualified like that is kind of weird... Should have studied harder in french class ;-)

[ParadizPink]

@uj313 the other people jumped to early so they got disqualified (i don't know if this is the correct spelling i speak french) so the guy had no adversary :P

[TOOHUMAN112]

That man has actually balls for doing that for his country

[Rlailabrown]

i cant even swim, atleast he could!

[miss96TN]

aww thats deep..

[brightwood257]

I WANT TO KNOW WHERE THE FUNNY PART IS/?

[NANAKISONOFSETO]

@brightwood257 Right, I was wondering the same thing.

[ilovemycactie]

whats so funny about this?

[DrMisterAleksa]

@ilovemycactie 2 other guys are desffaliced. he race him self

[fungamong1]

dont like french ppl

[weirdmu]

Что смешного?Мудаки.

[crazyfrog747]

the two are disqualified for jumping the gun. The last one races against himself.

[armystrong456]

ummm why are they laughing?

[lucavady]

what a stupid journalist!!!!! what a stupid Frenchies!!!!

[nasse1993]

what was funny? :P

[AjRhCp]

Eric the Eel, a true Olympian! What the video uploader fails to mention is that he came back 4 years later and finished 10 seconds slower than the new World Record time.

[soad345]

How can they laugh at him? Gay frenchies

[MrDominate1011]

gay ass frenchies

[edumendezc]

no le veo nada funny. al pareser el q lo puso tiene mucho orgullo. orgullo quien nado porque represento a su pais, same lke you...

[zoomzoomvroom]

wouldve gone faster if they put some grape drank, watermelons, and popeyes on the other side.

[scuntpunter420]

Obviously not american humor! Maybe foreign humor about swimming style?

[jtradgriff]

He swims better than me. I would've drowned before getting halfway on the first lap.

[godnutt]

WTF is so funny?

[BabyAvahAndJovanna]

@godnutt i was asking the same thing to myself, but i think its funny because the other 2 jumped in before start time by accident so they get disqualifued and that means the other guy wins no matter how long it takes him, still dont find that funny but whatev...

[symba]

funniest thing is that he is the best of his nation.

[loriparis25]

@symba How is that funnny? Your lame.

[dandennishopper]

this is why all french people suck

[Radwatsonator]

fuckin asshole

[schoolnoob357]

i don't get how this is funny

[scorzi]

Does everyone understand he was the FIRST PERSON FROM HIS COUNTRY to compete in the Olympics?! He was so poor he had to train in the ocean, borrow a swimsuit for the race, and he was stuck in a long race instead of a sprint because there was no more room in the shorter races. When he finished he said he was proud that his country was represented and he felt honored to be the one to do it.

[kookahjoon]

haha...false start...

[jfkqwne]

lol

[vFgolDkM]

FUCK FRENCH PEOPLE!

[fopperer]

bet hes faster than YOU!

(to all the laughers)

[XxMOLLYBBESxX]

all these people hu insult him , id like to see u get ur lazy arses out there and the day u do we will all take the piss out of u

[TheChiLLiChiLLi]

Im not racist i no black people are better at track events but that was fuckin hilario!

[loriparis25]

@TheChiLLiChiLLi If you start a sentence with I'm no racist...chances are you are a racist.

[flipyo]

wow thats pretty sad, commentators were just disgusting and total dickheads

[stealthpakfa]

ROFLMFAO!!!!!!

what a noob this guy is.

i thought the guy was gonna drown there at the end.

a little child could swim faster than that noob.

[jerryhhm]

The commentators are so disgusting

[wutevr63]

I don't get it, either. Must be a French thing...

[arxaa]

noob video . i didnt get the point . i think same that J0eWarrior and 9666beastly think .

rated 1.

[J0eWarrior]

i dont get it what is so funny about this video the dude looked liked he tried his best

[9666beastly]

commentators = assholes....wow what dicks

[29847]

The commentators are absolutely disgusting. Laughing at Eric shows a snobbery above and beyond anything other than an absolute asshole.

Eric the Eel is what the Olympics are about and the true reason to cheer for someone taking part in sport.

[Super043]

lol did u see his time 1:52 for a 100 free lol i've seen 13 year old girls do better alot better

[tiwikenya]

bully for you. This man came from a country that got its first swimming pool (25m) only a year or so before. He had never seen let alone swum in a 50m swimming pool. His courage should be applauded rather than sneered at.

[bucnomore11]

COURAGE?! lol thats not courage. swimming in a damn pool. courage was the 1936 Berlin Games. You worthless fuck

[delewareboy]

For the people laughing now, and in the video :He's an olympian and your not. Don't forget that.

[omnivorous65]

@delewareboy come on, that is funny. Every public swimming poosl features better swimmers. He was close to being the first olympic swimmer in need a life guard.

[loriparis25]

@omnivorous65 You have no class, just like the French commentators.

[omnivorous65]

@loriparis25 That was positively pythonesque and yes, it was funny. If you lack the sense to it it that way it is your loss. No reason to be a preposterous prick about it.

[onyachamp]

@delewareboy thats right .and someone who trains 7 days a week for the chance to compete in 1 olympic games missed their chance because of poor old eddie here. it's a flawed qualification system,that pits not THE best against each other, but the best representitive from a specific country.i admire his courage non the less, but half of australia could have swum the distance he swam quicker.including my 10 year old daughter

[onyachamp]

@onyachamp eric

[acotytamwiesz]

@delewareboy I would prefer NOT to be an olympian, rather than to be this guy

[Chihang256]

@acotytamwiesz You prefer??? You can't be or you prefer? You can't stand the pressure of the world laughing at you or you just saying that you prefer to laugh at someone who is trying his best? Have a heart.

[acotytamwiesz]

@Chihang256 I can't be, because I have no leg. Apart than that, I'm quite fit. I do not see anything admirabe in a guy who knowingly competes with guys 3 sport classses above him.

[thirdtrip2]

@acotytamwiesz thats why your not a champion in life. i would like to say fuck you because this guy endured what very few people have. he tried when he knew he would fail. thats what sports are all about..... asshole

[acotytamwiesz]

@thirdtrip2 he failed to such an extent that it is very funny to me (even though I dislike french people). I see sense of sport as a competition, like you do. However if someone agress to show off publicly his complete lack of skill, it is funny and certainly not impressive to me. I am handicapped myself - would you like to see handicapped people competing with healthy? Bullshit. Olympics are supposed to be for star athletes. This video is FUCKING HILARIOUS. And you forgot to stop sucking dick.

[thirdtrip2]

@acotytamwiesz its not about the competition, come suck my dick... now! If you werent such a handicap little bitch i would fuck you in the ass and not give two mooses' dead shits

[acotytamwiesz]

@thirdtrip2 'it's not about the competition' ?? LMAO that's what your mom kept telling you, because you were always LOSING. Well... she was lying LOL

[teamhateyou]

At least he had a go, who cares if he came last, i personally cant see the funny side of it. The people laughing are retarded! Are you sure this is the real olympics or the Paralympics?

[ZingbatStew]

What an asshole for laughing at him. Stupid Frenchies.

[trolldanne]

@ZingbatStew Don´t think they´re laughing AT him really. They sound like they like the guy and laugh WITH him.

[KKKSS67]

@ZingbatStew They are just so happy for him he didn't drown.

[reding321]

maybe he`s nervous but don`t you ever laugh he did what he can

[MGTyson]

yo soccer god stick to soccer

that is one of the worst techniques i have ever seen. I have coached 6 year olds with a nicer stroke

[soccergod561234]

lmao for you guys that think hes swimming bad its just a leisure swim, the other 2 got disqualified for a flase starrt, he was the only one racing, no need to swim fast!

[johnoman123]

Actually he was swimming bad. But he was swimming much faster than a lot of people.

[guitar11legend]

is he really swimming bad? i have no idea im not a swimmer... :/

[BustDaMove]

sure he can, some sports in the olympics(like swimming) have representatives from every nation, even from the smallest ones

[AlixWasHere]

He swims worse than I do. This must be some sort of joke, he can't really be in the Olympics.

[AANate007]

the other two got disqualified for a fa;se start so he was the only one racing. no need to swim fast.

[thphlstr]

thats true, but also he does suck at swimming. He still would like to look good so he would've tried not to look like he completely sucks. Its the Olympics, you don't wanna look bad in front of the world

[inurxDreams]

yeah but considering the whole audience and even the commentators were laughing there wasnt really a reason to swim good, he put on more of a performance this way and still won

[inurxDreams]

its because he's already won the race because he's the only one swimming so therefore he is just muckign around swimming wihtout technique because he knows he's won

[tull06]

hes actually not I remmeber this his name was eric and he could hardly swim but won because the other two got disqualified.

[inurxDreams]

if he couldnt swim how was he in the olympics?

[tull06]

Because he got a wild card due to the olympics encouraging developing nations. He only took up swimming 8 months before this and hed never even seen an olympic sized pool lol. type his name in google if u dnt believe me, eric the eel

[neildo]

dont waste my fuckin time

[saya1736]

worlds fucking worst video asshole

[shichengfei]

2000sydney equatorial guinea

[klms12345]

ahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaa­hahahahah

[nfeht]

Wow these commentators need to be fired. It's unbelievable how disrespectful they are.
