[lawnboyinthehood1980]

Maher is a faggot

[1baud]

Also never take a leak in the middle of a sword fight!

[RGDcommentnode]

Also, don't turn around.

A real swordfight would proly be over in a few seconds. An old classic combat between two samurai as an example, the two combatants just stayed in fixed stances check up on each other and intuitively knowing none of them could win the battle they call it a draw. Swordfighting is a very dangerous business, u could easily loose ur arms and/or ur legs..

this cenk worship is getting out of hand

[Mrbayrat1]

@IROT1334 Seriously. Cenk is such a douche.

Rule #1: Don't tell anyone about Fight Club

[CupboardNinja]

Dude, he can't be more right about this. It really bothers me in movies like Pirates of the Caribbean when they spend like 5 minutes in a sword fight where the two dudes just block each other the whole time.

[g4lt]

@CupboardNinja Given that the victory condition in most sword fights is to stab the other guy without being stabbed yourself, you kind of want to make sure the other guy's sword cant stab you whilst you're stabbing them, so you keep batting the other guy's sword out of the way until it stays out of the way long enough to stab them with no fear of riposte

[greyfox5000]

@g4lt Thank you! Im glad someone understands the basis of a sword fight

[Neosaigo]

@g4lt Not exactly. A person who focus on knocking the sword away usually lose to a person who attacks the body. Your scenario seems based on fencing, which is not a sword fight, it is just a sport.

Yes, weapon clash are often required in a real sword fight, but that is not the whole reason why weapons clash. When weapons clash it is often from necessity of defense, knocking the sword away is actually very difficult unless your opponent is incompetent.

[Nemesis000000]

Haha this one should have been in the show

[travelingman1605]

new rule : have Cenk on already

[MoPapparani]

This was a dumb one...Bill doesn't know how to fight. You're not aiming to hit them in the sword, that's just them blocking you with their sword. Duh...

[Twonkx]

@MoPapparani IT'S A JOKE

[MoPapparani]

@Twonkx ...and it stunk on ice. Bil can be such a hack sometimes...

[Nemesis000000]

@MoPapparani No shit! But in movies the fights are designed badly sometimes so it looks like they are just aiming for each others swords.

[LocoGroove]

@MoPapparani Get a sense of humor, man...

[MoPapparani]

@LocoGroove Just because I don't find him funny all the time doesn't mean I don't have a sense of humor at all, silly. I just found this joke to not be up to par. This joke even stinks on a riffing (MST3K) level. He could have done better...I got the joke, it just stunk.

[LocoGroove]

@MoPapparani Fine.

[juugoolart]

ahahahaha.. that's too funny! XD

[TrulyEvilBob]

In movies it's far easier to punch or kick a person during a sword fight than hitting them with a sword. Watch a movie with a sword fight. I can almost guarantee there will be at least one punch or kick and it will always connect.

[Linkcrc]

[Everett345]

[Linkcrc]
