An Irish TV commentator bringing us very colorful comments on this "Laser Radial" (boat) race ... PS : You MUST listen attentively to the subtlies of the english language. Put the speakers LOUD !
Compared to the Peacock coverage for the 2024 Paris Olympics, this is the greatest announcer in the history of sport. The Peacock guy is ruining it for sailing.
I feel like they grabbed some rando on a boat ramp who knows a little more about competitive sailing than I (a casual recreational sailboat racer, emphasis on casual) do, and shoved a mic in his hands.
It's really hard to explain the humor behind this. It's just so absurdly ridiculous for the commentator to say a thing like that considering, in actuality, a beam of that length wouldn't be considered controversial at all, as it is most definitely an olympic standard. Like.....c..ontroversial to whom, and why? I dunno man (or wo-man), it's just really silly nonsense, like the rest of the video; some of the best I've ever seen too.
You join us! For the 30th olympiad. And, uh, we're at the salin'. Yeap. There ya can hear the, uh, the olympic horn being sounded. Signifies there's only four minutes left of this race and it's looking very close...and ... confusing. Alicia Cebrian Martinez de Lagos, from Espanol, and she's at 26 points, whatever that means, mind yer head! She nearly got fucked out of it there. And very confusing scenes here we don't know who's in the lead...is that Russia at the far left?
Do you really think this is real? The guy is a comedian called "The Viper" from Irish tv show "Hardy Bucks".. Its on youtube you should watch it veryy funny
Archery is a good sport yes, indeed. I would also take that above handball, but how are two shieldwall like teams jumping almost their own height and throwing bombs into the small goal not worthy of being called a sport?
No you didn't. But name me a sport in the Olympics that is more deserving than handball? There is boxing and wrestling, those are the only sports I would take over handball. The rest is just running, swimming and throwing things as far as you can?
I do like the Olympics but I think the numbers of sports should be cut down. I mean seriously sailing, handball and other crap like that? Time to trim a lot of stuff out.
Jay Hernewacke fun fact the Viper actually English, his name is Chris Tordoff and he’s originally from Leeds but has lived in Ireland for a long time, same as the guy who played Eddie Durkan with him in Hardy Bucks
“We have a beam of 1.37…that’s controversial” best line
Watching this in 2022
01:32 'Australian flag. The Aussies are afoot. I can't see them - you'd hear them before you'd see them.'
So true
its 2018 and i still watch this and cry every time from laughing!

Terrific dialog & honest reporting.
It's gold Jerry, GOLD!
The "More idiots" killing me !

Irish, well from southern Ireland anyway is one of the most beautiful accents. It's lilting, musical and generally nice.
Just Ireland. Nobody says Southern America
@@poochdizzle they literally do. It’s a different accent
One of the funniest things I've ever watched! Thanks for the laughs! XOXO
Only an Irishman could make the Olympics THAT entertaining. xD
Love The Viper
Best commentator ever!!!!
Laughing, I'm crying!
Damn funniest thing ever!
I've seen this before - it is hysterical (and you don't have to know a thing about sailing!)
I'm in tears right now. It's looking " confusing." Very confusing scenes.
He isn't a sailing commentator, he's a comedian
Well spotted Sherlock
@@poochdizzle well striped watson

the beam is 1.37 thats controversial bahahahhaha
that's the best part
We use that line in our family anytime someone posts a stat. lol 'Controversial'
A total boat weight of 74 kags
Ah I love this. But it is meant as a joke; it seems some people didn't understand this. Oh well, I guess that's quite funny too, in a different way.
As an experienced sailor I’m so entertained and so confused how you could screw this up!!!!
"Some former British colony, don't know where exactly but they look annoying"
Why was this removed? This was legitimately funny!
"From Espanol"
yeah man, its really a awesome vid
Who's gonna catch the COK?
"Lovely Finnish lady...wouldn't mind FINISHING off with her!"
This was great, but a bit of gold was missed: 0:55 "Women's One Person Dinghy"
If people are wondering the commentator is "The viper" from "The hardy bucks"
Stateside and Dragon must of helped with the research
True... but it would be epic if it was and I think they should have channels for this stuff.
that was great. loved is comments. was this in ireland or where?
Hahaha. So funny. Used to race these.
holy shit..best video on you tube
74 CAGS
Masterpiece
this was the best!

who's gonna catch the "cok" ?
The Dutch are smoking!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
is this a dub? or is this actually real?
Its real. Most Olympic commentators go in not knowing anything about the sport they are talking about.
"from some sort of former British colony it seems....I dunno they look annoying, though.
Do you really think this is real? The guy is a comedian called "The Viper" from Irish tv show "Hardy Bucks".. Its on youtube you should watch it veryy funny
You stole this from Brit actor Chris Tordoff, who played Viper Higgins on the show Hardy Bucks. Shame.
Wait a minute, when they finally started the race, WHO WON?
Erm did I say football was badass? Did I say football belonged in the olympics? Not really sure where that attack came from.
😂😂😂😂😂😂 You're hilarious
Archery is a good sport yes, indeed. I would also take that above handball, but how are two shieldwall like teams jumping almost their own height and throwing bombs into the small goal not worthy of being called a sport?
Ho hummmm
Sooo funny!
Hilarious XD
the reason he was going the wrong way was because when your sailing, you cant go directly into the wind
You know this was a joke video right?
No you didn't. But name me a sport in the Olympics that is more deserving than handball? There is boxing and wrestling, those are the only sports I would take over handball. The rest is just running, swimming and throwing things as far as you can?
Archery.
Handball shouldn't even be classed as a sport.
...... And a total boat weight of 74 "kags" hahahahaha
I do like the Olympics but I think the numbers of sports should be cut down. I mean seriously sailing, handball and other crap like that? Time to trim a lot of stuff out.
CLASSIC LULW
I think i just peed a few drops
why can't american commentators be this fun. Thanks Obama
still funny
Russia's always hangin about that far left.
Lol it's not real, he himself said he knows nothing about sailing, in the video. This is funny as shit tho. Good job thanks for the laugh.
English kid did this, he’s outrageous
Correction the Viper Higgins is Irish
Jay Hernewacke fun fact the Viper actually English, his name is Chris Tordoff and he’s originally from Leeds but has lived in Ireland for a long time, same as the guy who played Eddie Durkan with him in Hardy Bucks
