Everyone of your "... Explained" videos are things I've only seen for the first time in your videos, not else where as "viral" videos that show up everywhere.

I suspect my interests aren't "mainstream"

[ShadeScarecrow]

Weird, but at least looks funnier than friggin football (Im talking about the one where you just kick the ball into the goal, not american football).

I was wondering about this. Good to hear the explanation. Googling "crazy japanese sport" brings too many results :)

[iLoveEatingPie]

You don't have to use "weird" and "japanese" in one sentence, these are practically synonyms.

[KingVerdo]

Looks fun! A battle without weapons!

[tilt1981]

Boutaoshi literally means to bring/knock down a pole.

[spyridonas23]

"Watching 240p video on a Full HD display" THATS MANLY

[redhotsuperfan1]

so how do you win?

[FuriousDot213]

@redhotsuperfan1 im guessing 1side is suppose to keep the pole up while the other side is suppose to knock it over idk how the side thats suppose to keep it up wins o.o i guess to wear the other side out somehow

[redhotsuperfan1]

@Vleesball I find Rugby and Hockey not very boring to watch American Football is the worst >.> every time the ball hits the ground they stop.....

[91lilfrozone23]

@Vleesball

sports are boring as shit?

your life sounds boring as shit.

[Vleesball]

@91lilfrozone23 ya it's for fat fucks that cant do sports themself.

[rock3tcat]

@Vleesball

It sounds like you're one boring debbie downer...

[casf120]

@Vleesball sports are boring?

[Vleesball]

@casf120 No dude, i never said sports are boring, i said.. it's boring to watch.

i 'd rather kick a ball myself rather than watching someone kick as ball.

[whatthefudge2009]

[MilkeyCocoa]

Looks stupid. fucking crazy japanese

[HeadSHOT604]

@MilkeyCocoa So is American Football...

[HeadSHOT604]

@MilkeyCocoa I see....you like, or play, Rugby?

[MilkeyCocoa]

@HeadSHOT604 No. nor do i watch it, golf is more amuzing than rugby i bet :s

[HeadSHOT604]
