Change of the greek guard in Athens (Greece, 23.08.2009)

[ntipouan]

Every guard is a simple citizen who does his military service. Really proud for these guys who go through that strict training to do the drill as perfect as possible, only to serve an idea. Whenever I travel to Athens I always get to go to a guard change.

[ObstNetwork]

ok so im sure these guys are incredibly bad ass, but come on its kinda funny :)

[Danafondo]

Takes skill to do it, but seriously looks like Mickey Mouse on parade.

[hutch1111111]

@Danafondo It is very old drill and an old proud unit...every army looks different when on parade.

[mentoper]

every Greek is born a clown xD

[crazygreek57]

[hecdc]

[KlifeRR]

this is just comical

[BluePit864]

gayist uniform ever

that being said, there drill was great

[srbenda888]

@BluePit864 it is not gay uniform its traditional Greek uniform that was weared proudly by our ancestors that fought for Greek freedom. The clothing that they are wearing the bottom part is called FUSTANELLA. many other nations had same uniform from Ancient Romans and Scottish have the same tradition. Soldiers that are asked to join Evzones gurad enjoy great honor and only finest of them are selected

[MrW4RN1NG]

come at greece and we'll show you how the ''dresses'' can fuck you

[newottoman12]

pussy

[karipass]

very funny..what's the name of the founder.

[leenox45]

Αυτή είναι φρουρά όχι σαν τις άλλες μαλακίες των ξένων και όσον αφορά τις "φουστίτσες" τις φοράνε επειδή κουβαλάνε ΕΛΛΗΝΙΚΑ ΑΡΧΙΔΙΑ

[littlefrank90]

[CecenenPower]

Why wear skirts and dresses Greek soldiers, are about the Gay

[columnsx]

[Sp3ll633]

the founder of the uniforms shoulda be hanged and the inventor of the marching style too

[09phanton]

@Sp3ll633 hell yeah that's no way to do that..

[nejacne68]

[m520alex]

@nejacne68 Το ξέρεις ότι είναι η πιο πειθαρχημένη μονάδα αλλαγής φρουρών στον κόσμο...sucker

[liquidsword29]

what's with the clown shoes?

[liquidsword29]

They're like Peacocks!

[m520alex]

@liquidsword29 your face is like peacock, teen lesbianpussy

[kurazzone]

I like it

[wing2912]

From Leonidas and Sparta to this!?!?! wtf

[Ruben1994OL]

No disrespect, but this kinda reminded me of "The Ministry of Silly Walks"-sketch by Monty Python xD

[xxxrebelxxx1]

etek giyen askerden ne olur mına koyım...

[agumon12]

what are they guarding and alittle history behind this would be nice?

[axtlol]

imagine if they would lose balance.. =))

[Izkzmach]

Hercules kick at 0:23...lol

[exnemocpt]

Stronzi!! Rispettare la Grecia e la sua antica cultura , senza la quale non esistereste nemmeno.... a già, voi non potete capire siete anglosassoni e quindi barbari animali, oltre che ignoranti.

[MDNSD]

very pretty gays, so gayreeks:)

[GurraJG]

What the actual fuck?

[sgtkar98]

Greece,I really like you,but...WTF???

[giantrobots1122]

This is so strange and surreal. Its not possible to even laugh at it.

[purplemunshkin]

It's different, therefore I must insult it. >:D /sarcasm

[GreenEyedMusic]

Very interesting ceremonial gestures. I have never seen the Greek Guard before, thanks for posting. (I love all the world's history and it's differences).

[grodac]

go back to your trees and eat your bananas and never say anything about greeks idiots

[ImGodUFUCK]

this is why greece in this crisis

[Sappihappo]

Goddamn leprechauns.

[oJKBo]

lololololololol the march they do at 00:24 always makes me laff

[WungTung]

[thinkersrock69]

Just leave them be. Our ceremony might seem wierd to them.

[st8oftheart]

Mickey Mouse just called and he wants his shoes back.......

[mexicano7771000]

@st8oftheart Hahahahahahahaha 70's jokes are funny

[dave564oida]

lol clowns^^

[babydrumbetch]

Respect. although i am rolling watching this. but ehh. tradition. that makes it okay :D

[DIMITSAS12]

@tjalolx You don't respect anything!! You 're just a "fail" swedish!! If you learned much more history, you would know why we keep on maintaining this, until today! But, you can't understand anything, 'cause you 're exactly a Swedish!!;-)

I've seen many ceremonies in other countries!!

But there's a very serious problem here!!

When Finnish, Swedish and other bustards (with the "normal walking"!!:P) were given their asses to the German Nazis, we were 2 times in war, foughting for our freedom!!

[tjalolx]

@DIMITSAS12 Oh, please remind me again why us fail swedes arent in a state of national bankruptcy like your shitty socialistic dumb-ass walk country is? :-)

[DIMITSAS12]

@tjalolx hahaha!! Υou see??? I was sure!!! The same "caramel"!!! Some Swedish bustards found the opportunity to catch us at their shitty mouth to reduce us, because of our problems we have at this time. As like the Greek people and our country became the "root of economic evil" across the continent. They do this, not only because of the financial crisis and to reduce us, but also they are not able to accept any, that were just a "nothing" at the ancient past!!

[DIMITSAS12]

@tjalolx For these reasons, they put out a arrogance, that eventually turns into hubris, wryly and rasist comments about our nation. Both of them are their "death"! This rude & unfair behavior, the tone of voice from the fucking Swedish journalists, the characteristic impairment movement in their shitty hands, just because we are from Greece, proves clearly the "grandeur" & the "superiority" of the Swedish toilets!! ;)

[DIMITSAS12]

@tjalolx Imagine that they didn't want to recognize the genocide of Pontos. because were afraid of breaking the alliance with Turks (and most of you told them gypsies!!) The way that they encountered Greeks shows the true nature of these Swedish assholes, who are looking for something to reduce and insult the dignity of a people. Even so, we have been passed much more difficulties, we DIDN'T do the favor to something malevolent, stupid and idiot assholes in order to see us humiliated!!

[DIMITSAS12]

@tjalolx Our ONLY mistake as a nation is the mentality of our politicians which give the right at those fucking bustards & "fail" creaps to swear and criticize us! Even if we go bankrupt, history is NOT change & you 'll be the same, until your death!! So, it's better for you to look firstly YOUR FUCKING BROTHEL-NATION and THEN START TO TALK FOR THE OTHER ONES!!

[DIMITSAS12]

@tjalolx We do NOT need to give ANY answer to a fucking swedish who is proud only of his alcoholics, his suicides and his... winder!!;-) When we were giving the alphabet, you were sleeping at the swedish woods to find your meal!! SO, GO TO START YOUR THERAPY FOR YOUR DEPRESSION!! And something else: DON'T SPEAK AND DO NOT IMAGINE BULLSHITS, IF YOU DON'T KNOW ANYTHING OF US SHIT!! Your "6-HOURS-DAY" makes you feel awful and you need something to erupt, isn't it?? ;-)

[DIMITSAS12]

@tjalolx My dear tjalox... My poor tjalox... Will you suicide??? NOOO!!! DO NOT DOOOOO!!! NAAAAHHHH TJALOLXXXXXXX!!!! hahahhahaa!!! :-D You're just pitiful, many many years!!! Finally. The only reasons I could justify your birth is two: One, your mother has surely a nice ass to fuck her!!! ;-) And two, your father was a "sissy" and birth you to cover it!!! ;-D Hmmmm... Another reason??? Can you tell me??? ;- /

[DIMITSAS12]

@tjalolx P.S. The power of your economy doesn't changed the truth!!!

If we didn't give you the ancient knowledge, you 'll never be at this situation, to seem like a large economical... "superpower"(!!!!!!!!)

But your economy does NOT change also your character and your history!!!

You 're just failed, rasist and fucking shears who 're hidden behing your organization and our default!!!!! :-)

Pity...

[tjalolx]

@DIMITSAS12 I just realized that you wrote 6 comments trying to insult me, while i'm away working and paying taxes to keep this country running, you're sitting there just talking shit with some desperate last stand haha

I won't sink to your level Mr Xaaxaxaeoea, Ps: this walk still looks stupid as fuck! =)

[DIMITSAS12]

@tjalolx Did you read the previous comments or you cannot, chicky??? chochochco!!!! Will you crying??? ehhhh!!!

Which level you've got?

hahahahaha!!!!!

Even if we go bunkrupt 100 times, we will NOT be like a ecomical strong swedish, which takes 1.000.000 antidepressants to recover himelf & keep on paying us as a sucker!!!!;DDD

If you wanna see a desperation, come here and tell us these bullshits in front of us!!!

P.S. This swedish still looks as A STUPID FUCK who put his ass in Nazis!!!;-)

[tjalolx]

@DIMITSAS12 You make no actuall sense. I can tell your mental level is below a 6 year old

[DIMITSAS12]

@tjalolx It's so ironic, telling me I don't have sense(!!), while, at the same time, you keep on writing the same bullshits.

I accept the default of our country, but YOU can't accept your shitty past! I'm not impressed!!

When someone talks you about YOUR problems, he must have a problem!!

So, this turns you into ironic bustards!!! ;(

Respect to the Swedish... ''civilazation''!!!!!;P

[DIMITSAS12]

By their nature, they're distant, introvert and "chilly" !!

The 6-hours-day makes them depressed, neurotic, aggressive and for those reasons, they 've got high rates of suicide and alcoholism!!

The problem is that the Swedish assholes did not admit it!

They keep saying the same bullshits!

When someone told that to them, they will react immediately to answer with irony for another country!!!

Like a fool "sissy"!!!!!!!

In other words, they could be BUMS AND FASCISTS!!!

[DIMITSAS12]

@tjalolx The truth always hurts!

And now, you're gonna pay it motherfuckers.

I'm telling you, deaf worm: Come here and tell this to me, to see if I'm as you say.

Go and have an IQ test chicky!!

If you see a "nobody" swedish bustard who comes suddenly out of his pet-house to say things like that, it's task for me to protect my honor by some "pussy" cat who put their heads up!!! :-)

[tjalolx]

@DIMITSAS12 Maybe stop talking shit over internet and get your country up and running =) Next time, don't lend so much money ;-)

[DIMITSAS12]

@tjalolx I see clearly you don't like this 'cause you know i'm right!!!! ;-)))))

You didn't say anything on the restl!!!

I don't care if our country is late to recover!!!

The only thing you 're able to do is to hanged our problems, but you can't say anything much more!!!:P

If we didn't have our economic problems, you could NOT say anything piece of shit!!! ;))

I repeat you:

Whatever happens, you will be a "machine" with robotic and mechanic conference, with german and Nazis DNA !!!! :-)

[DrackyA]

People laughing at this its a cultural thing, show some respect

[garrettcurrie]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA­HAHAHA

[nofatchicks30]

haha,stupid greeks

[ThaParwToPrioni]

@nofatchicks30

you re stupid.

[gblpst81]

At least the American changing of the guard at the tomb of the unknown soldier is intimidatingly precise. There is nothing intimidating about this.

[katamarkon]

@gblpst81 These men are standing and walking there proud carrying thousand of years of history and tradition on their shoulders and a gear weighing 20 kilos. Stand next to them and you'll see intimidating. Their not acting like a malfunctioned "terminator" robot with their Top gun sun glasses on, now that's real history...

[MrJoker5140]

WIDAĆ ŻE KAŻDA ARMIA MA SWOJĄ TECHNIKĘ MARSZU I ZMIANĘ WART I UROCZYSTOŚCI PAŃSTWOWYCH 

[kleyou]

WTF? Am I high or what?

[sportysbuddy]

They look like they are wearing elf shoes, no offense

[gingermonkeykid]

I also say I respect their military and everything but this is just old fashioned, the kind of fitness show off like the goose-step was supposed to.

[sazunaki]

LMFAO! epic.

[agronland]

do you guys know how strong you most be to do this :/

[bawesome]

Zorba and Jackie Chan must have conspired in the choreography.

[tlight813]

I wonder what they think when they see our changing of the guard?

[gblpst81]

Though I respect their military bearing and adherance to tradtion, this has to be the most ridiculous level of pomp and circumstance I've ever seen in a guard changing ceremony. Very strange.

[dsindc]

@gblpst81 I totally agree. This stuff can go way over the top. I think a close second is the change of the guard at the border between Pakistan and India. I think it was Jon Stewart who commented on the Indian uniform - specifically the hat (very extravagant turban)- and said something like 'and the Indian soldiers can also be used as tissue dispensers". I live in D.C. and sometimes wish we had more ceremony... then I see stuff like this and come to my senses. 

[DIMITSAS12]

@gblpst81 Υou 're just a loser & a fucking corpse!!

Has your hooker mother ever learned you to respect the other nations really??? ;)

But, what I'm saying now!!!!!

Could a woman, who works at a brothel, to teach you the real respect??? ;P

Of course, Not at all !!!! ;)))

[barliman2001]

@gblpst81 Actually, the march of the Evzoni guard was scientifically developed to give the most amount of blood circulating in the short moments between standing still. Seems to work - have you ever seen of an Evzoni soldier passed out?

[solofotis]

@gblpst81 It doesn't seem to me like you respect the things you say at all. These guys are there to honor the soldiers that have fought and died. Direct your hatred at someone else please. Thank you.

[09phanton]

@gblpst81 agree i have no idea what the hell was all that for..

[afrohoofd12]

OMG xD

[GrandmasterN]

This is the most stupid thing I have eever seeeeeeen! God damn ugly!

[lantalizer]

Haha. What a bunch of clowns...
