[asaltypickle123]

[chhayafunny]

Lmao. Watching this make me miss my Hmong friends

[BeatVu]

[kuvtsiscare]

Laughing + Eating Pho = Spitting Pho through the nostril

[dezavu]

@kuvtsiscare indeed... that happened a few times. lol

[FantageLover916]

is there a wall of fame of pictures on there if you win?

[dezavu]

@FantageLover916 no, but they should, huh? i believe they take a picture of you and post it on their facebook page.

[truongga113]

viet nam ,,,,,po' tay =))

[wikct2]

I love Hmong people. They are down-to-earth people and full of energy and not as greedy as some of other Asians...

[CaramelCleo]

lmao @ 5:01 ...... the spoon was slowing down progress.

[honger1]

forks are good strategy. fucking smart

[dezavu]

@honger1 2 forks are better than 1! lol

[citizenyang]

Can't believe its already been almost 2 years since I broke the record. YEA!!!!!!!!

[dezavu]

[citizenyang]

[nmsualumni05]

[coochee96]

[dezavu]

@teng651 it's all for shits and giggles... people don't usually eat huge as bowls of pho like this either.

[sirusjthoj]

Yeah there aint no meat in this. Commentator swears he from the east coast. "son" lame

[dezavu]

@sirusjthoj why so sirusj? :)

[ahsi88]

@sirusjthoj

It aint nothing without no meat... just a waste of pho.

[ngot74]

Where's the beef??!  I see a bowl mostly of noodles.

[leelovealiza]

the trick is to drain the liquid after the noodles get soft enough since noodles suck in liquids its best to drain first.

[pnvang2]

Love this, awesome and funny little video.

[hawjsta]

I know of someone that ate that in 15 min.

[dezavu]

@hawjsta nice.

[suvie5]

idk but this vid is pretty funny...lol..how u guys talk n laugh is funny...lol

[supatoker420]

First time i've ever seen like 8 Asian brothers sitting eating noodles...with FORKS!!!

[HmongZboy]

how much is it to buy a one large bowl of noodle :)

[dezavu]

@HmongZboy the regular large bowl is about 8 bucks... this bowl, for the challenge, is $15 if you don't finish it in 45 minutes... if you DO, it's free!

[HmongZboy]

@dezavu sweet can u invite to ur dinner

[dezavu]

@HmongZboy come through and we'll go out to Saigon.

[HmongZboy]

@dezavu thankx one thing r u guys hmong

[dezavu]

@HmongZboy yeah, that's why it says Hmong Folks. on the title... plus, there was some hmong talk in the vid.

[MsYounqShawty]

this shit is funny l

[HistoryHmoobGuy]

dumbass, bunch of clear ass bowl of pho...they dont even know what to add to the soup to make it good....NOOBS

[dezavu]

@HistoryHmoobGuy you're right... i'm sure you'd probably think that kobayashi and joey chestnut are also dumbasses for not putting ketchup nor mustard on their hotdogs too!

[HistoryHmoobGuy]

@dezavu does it look like a give a fuck about kobayashi and joey chestnut ? NO !!!!!

[dezavu]

@HistoryHmoobGuy so the feelings are mutual... and i'm not talkin' about kobayashi and chestnut :)

[wrestlingfan997]

Here in Canada,

A Large bowl of Pho costs about $7 + Tax. Pretty affordable and tasty.

[microbiologiest]

Wow, only $15 dollars if you fail? That's pretty cheap b/c here in RI, one small or a regualr large is already $15 dollars. You guys are so cute and funny and make me so hungry for some noodle at 2:00 AM :)

[mackxcupid]

New York got the best.

[npaujbais]

"don't chew" "just pour it down" ? you'll choke. lol.

[npaujbais]

you guys picked up the tab for the guy who won, right?  i see him use two forks and then his hands. lol.

[dezavu]

@npaujbais if you finish your bowl, it's FREE... otherwise, it's $15... that's it!

[npaujbais]

i wanna do take the challenge with my buddies. where do you guys live?

[dezavu]

@npaujbais minnesota... this challenge is in st paul, mn

[npaujbais]

@dezavu seems fun. i wish we have something like this in Fresno, Cali. i'll be up there soon.

[dezavu]

@npaujbais awesome... if you don't know where to go, just contact me on here or my facebook and i can tell ya where it's at... then again, any hmong person in town should know. lol

[0opsy91]

[dezavu]

@0opsy91 the pho is pretty good, compared to the other pho shops around town. it's right in the heart of st paul so it's not hard to find at all.

[0opsy91]

@dezavu

t country right now

[bboytripp3]

Rofl! GJ and thanks for the entertainment.

[lcuellar79]

You guys just totally ruined the broth by dumping in the water. How come everyone's pho looks plain?

[dezavu]

@lcuellar79 they weren't going for taste... they were going against the clock.

[B2BDingDongTongB2B]

that is alot of pho

[AndrewIsBoredAgain]

forks?

[thomastrouble]

why they using forks?

[dezavu]

@thomastrouble faster than using chop sticks... they're tryin' to consume as much in as short of a time as possible...

[cattilicious]

hahaha!!!!!!!  u guys are silly

[zzzgatrezzz]

mấy con heo ăn bún bằng máng haha

[dezavu]

@missykaylavang no... it's tiny by any standard :)

[koukhang1]

@missykaylavang by the way...tahts 10 pounds

[UNIVERSALRESOLUTION]

Ah see I didn't think about the heat ...if you have a limited time to get the noodles down I guess I can see that cooling it off...that's rough man. I have a few friends who tried but couldn't even get close.

[UNIVERSALRESOLUTION]

Al that stirring is just gonna make it worse ....right?

[dezavu]

@UNIVERSALRESOLUTION not necessarily... it sorta helps cool down the noodle and broth.

[SolOtis]

the noodles looks really soft like it's cooked too long or something

[misscatty010]

all of the pho looks so plain, ahaha did they not put ingredients in?

[PureCents]

no sauce?

[damndamnd]

it looks easy tbh i eat that much usually..

[dezavu]

@damndamnd DAMN! lol

[damndamnd]

@dezavu the one from San Fransisco looks a lot harder though >.>

[killerfocker]

cant even enjoy it, thats just stupid

[dezavu]

@killerfocker i don't think anyone can really enjoy this much pho in one seating...

[milthugs123]

Damn this nigga gobble this shit up in how many minutes?! 40 mins?! lol good job dude

[dezavu]

@milthugs123 a little over 10 minutes!

[TheAsianGuitar]

"wait I just saw a skeleton" LOLLLL

[tkungfool]

I tried to do it yesterday, failed miserably, I was told that you could NOT leave the table, if you left to go to the bathroom, go outside, etc, you were disqualified. Also if you make a mess (i.e. vomiting), you're cleaning the mess.

[joeymcjoberstein]

I never knew there were so many asians in MN HAHA....

[joeymcjoberstein]

DUDE THE ORIGINAL PHO CHALLENGE THAT IS REALLY*** A CHALLENGE IS IN SAN FRANCISCO

[CherryWang5]

[dezavu]

@CherryWang5 haha like i mentioned before; they were making it plain only because there's so much to eat... if it were too hot, they wouldn't be able to finish the challenge.

[Jessiele2003]

[001xao]

[dezavu]

@001xao about 10 minutes and 40 seconds, plus or minus a few; i had to cut out a few seconds of just pure silence because youtube wouldn't allow me to upload pass the 10 minute mark... somehow snuck in 13 seconds...

[slim58769]

[jaminvang1]

Ay, how many pound of Pho is that? It don't look as big as the one in frisco. (Pho Garden). -San Francisco- CA! Check it Out.

[dezavu]

@jaminvang1 i'm not sure exactly how many lbs it is, but the bowl, including liquids and meat, etc... is supposed to be 10lbs total.

[mr3ggroll]

this shit is not healthy. i will never do it

[dezavu]

[MrViet937]

[AcousticBoy704]

DAmn

[ToppNotch]

u guys are too funny...im hungry now!!!

[sweeteas00]

Dang you guys had fun!!

[dezavu]

@sweeteas00 we always try to when we're out and about.

[VIANwisdom]

that is riduculously crazy to consume that amount of noodle under 10 mintues.

[Mr436088]

ahha i bet chu guys are all HIGH ASS FUCK..!! lol

[dezavu]

@Mr436088 wish that were the case, but no... lol

[TeexaYang]

nasty no flavor too much noodles

[Aquaela]

looks like no flavor but dayum, if you take the time to savor it, Saigon's pho is beast as hell. adding things to it ruins the flavor for me. only the meat and veggies. no sauce.

[dezavu]

@Aquaela you should try a little momma poppa shop down the road called destiny cafe... i prefer their pho over saigon's

[Aquaela]

@dezavu

yes, but keep in mind Hmong people's idea of pho is very different from a Vietnamese person's. I like both!

[Kratos0909]

@Aquaela yes, but keep in mind Pho was invented by the Vietnamese :)

[dezavu]

@Kratos0909 troof... and to them, we thank! also for bun bo hue!

[Kratos0909]

@dezavu you're welcome! :) 

[leurseng]

My cousin hold the Pho record which is 9min.

[dezavu]

@leurseng i know... big kong! lol this is theo
