"Handsome is number one" I CANNTTTT đđđ
Perfectly straight faced, he says it.
âK.â đ
I'm in in i I no Koo hi no no hi hi
ITS NEEDED
Lol
I like thinking about the olympians yelling âyeetâ when they throw the hammers, glad I know itâs true now
I want them to mic up the competition floor just to hear the athletes yelling yeet!
"yeet" died out four years ago
@@charliepower935 yeet
@@charliepower935 yeets making a comeback
I always just let out some animalistic grunt when I threw, never thought of putting a word to it.
Conor is massive he makes Keith and Eugene look short and theyâre the tallest TGs
I really want to see him next to Zach and Ned now
True!!
omg didnt even realise until you pointed it out
Yea he's like 6'5'' the dude is an actual mountain
@@HeyLamb z@Ă·
Conor's deadpan delivery on his jokes is awesome! Master of finesse indeed.
Heâs definitely a natural comic!
when he said âhandsome is number oneâ it was golden
@@jadehagadorn5090 I laughed out so loud when he said this. đ€Ł

Its normal
When they said they were going to compete not against each other, but against the Olympian, I was very sceptical, but him actually doubling their already combined scores, confident he can beat them enough to actually agree to ridiculous forfeits really drives home how impressive of all athlete he is.
In competition he's throw over 75m. That's a 16lbs ball thrown 82 yards. I say his confidence is valid.
@@Sunny-ot1vo I assumed something like that, hearing that he is an Olympian and the number to beat seems to be 80.
This is why they should add a regular person to all of the competitions for reference.
If you watch the Try Guys videos, they do have a series on 4 vs 1. Where the 4 of them compete against one Professional athlete
@@Stephie0125 Yeah
There's so much husband energy between Keith and Eugene always.
True, there's always some underlying romantic tension between these two... in the Singapore vlog Becky gave her ring to Eugene making them sister husbands đ
Well, they're both married to Becky, so . . .
Not gonna lie, I've never watched the TG and I was like "They are toooootally a couple"
you guys really like to project your stuff on people huh?
@@i-never-look-at-replies-lol Yes and we are totally serious. I'm speaking for all the above comments because I just know how they feel and they agree with me đ
They try. They have humor. They take it serious. They inform. They brighten my day!
Yeah I like it cus they seem very respectful while still being funny. That's hard to pull off lol
They take the sport seriously but they don't take themselves seriously
Conor was in my RA (residential advising) group in college and can confirm that he is just as massive in person. Great to see he's still such a nice guy!
Well Keith is 6 foot and he looks short against Conor bahahaha
Was this when he was at Princeton or USC?
Princeton
@@elizabethcook9713 dope! Go moose!
Eugene: You look like the stupidest kid at Hogwarts
This was so funny đđđ
Coming from a Slytherin to a Ravenclaw
That's racist
@@LacyJacy how is it racist?
@@ungoodthinkful you tell me
@@LacyJacy you are the one saying it is racist, you tell us.
Eugene and Keith, after every exercise: time to throw the hammer!
Connor, every time: nope.
Connor the wise
Conorâs yell was the most âTHIS IS SPARTAâ yell without saying âthis is Spartaâ 11:42
no kidding, I FELT it though my speakers!
Was gonna like this but didn't want to ruin the 420 likes
"ARE YOU NOT ENTERTAINED?!"
That got me. Classic Keith.
"Do we need to be handsome?"
"Handsome is #1 actually"
they look like two best friends having their usual day in a really prestigious school and i am so here for it
Eugene did say that Keith looked like the stupidest kid at Hogwarts, so it checks out.
@@ianlee4565 i laughed harder than i should have when he said that :")
âBrooms?!?? Do we need to clean up the area?â
âWe need to clean up your technique.â đ€Łđ€Ł
đ€Ł
The Try Guys are doing such a great job with this series! Iâm enjoying it tremendously! â€ïžđđđ
same!
Word!
conner: "yes, the blue balls"
keith: "đ"
đđ
Thank you for highlighting a field event that rarely is given the attention it deserves. It is literally in the top 3 technically challenging events in athletics and not easily accessible to the general public due it the risks/danger it poses. Love hammer throw!
I was really hoping to see Conor in Tokyo. Still a complete honor for him to reach the top 4th spot.
I'm glad they didn't have Zach in this one. He would have snapped in half trying to throw that thing.
Lol the hammer wouldâve thrown him
he has chronic arthritis or something like that he cant anyways
@@maybe3631 ankylosing spondylitis
but seeing Ned would've been interesting
@@aSwedishGirl lol Ned wouldâve told the hammer he loves his wife Ariel all day
The fact that Connor agreed to the crazy bet, and even doubled their score combined is so impressive
did anyone notice Keith's face when Connor said blue balls at 4:30 LMAOO
âYou look like the stupidest kid at Hogwarts.â

I never knew the weight of the hammer was the equivalent weight of that of a bowling ball before. That just makes this sport even more amazing because these Olympians are basically throwing a bowling ball over 70m on a consistent basis.
In all fairness, they use the momentum of the hammer and length of the string to give them more distance then they could just throw it still.
Still absolutely incredible though.
in hammer and shot put wight of ball is range regulator, they regulate it so best throwers throw around 70-80m, if they would start throwing longer over the field, they would increase wight of ball to decrese distances (itbwould also means reseting all records). Its also why women throw less wight, not just because there health sefty but also because they would not throw less making not look like hummer throw. Since women hammer throw is still developing, it wight change may happen there in future. Juvelin hed that happen but there they regulate by center of mass changes. Same goes with junor events, they start with smaller wights until they start to over throw and go to next wight, so those 2 should start with smaller wight.
Keith and Eugene hopping on the field like a couple of schoolgirls lmaoooo
Keith: "I'll give it a whirl. Ha"
Connor: "Never heard that one before..."
Keith: "Really?"
Lol. Where my retail workers at!!??
HA, my thought too! XD
We love an expert who has a sense of humor like the bois
"You have to learn slow, before you can go fast"
Me: *immediately pauses the video to look for TwoSet comments*
If you can throw slowly, you can throw quickly
the olympics, the TGs & TwoSet?! the weirdest crossover i never thought i'd be in & i'm here for it đ€©
omg yess
Sacrilegious
Yeah, Conor definitely practices 40 hours per day.
Seeing him toss that hammer towards the referees that are definitely NOT wearing helmets gives me so much anxiety.
Refs are normally safe, since people usually throw inside the lines. And they are paying attention. And a helmet wouldnt do much for you anyways đŹ
I was once an assistant field official at an evening meeting which ended under floodlights. The hammer competition was abandoned part way through. The hammers were going above the illumination of the floodlights, making them invisible to the officials in the field. Scariest time of my life.
@@RunnerBeanzDad time to start painting those things fluorescent!!
@@feeshac1974 lol in training I added a dog tag light that mine so we could see it đ
This olympian's showmanship and dry humour is a great synergy with try guys
This was very informative and entertaining. (Yeah, I know that's the point, but seriously!). I did not know any of the specifics about the hammer throw. I'm liking this series overall. Gives me more to want to watch.
Eugene trying to do learn the skill and Keith is there for comedic relief
As an ex-collegiate thrower Iâm here for this hammer content! Connor it was a privilege watching you throw at the trials! Youâll get em next time! â€ïžđ€đ
oh no did he not make it this time?
@@grey6703 I'm not sure why but your comment make me laugh lol
@@grey6703 he got 4th, only top 3 qualify
@@monicasmm haha well glad to be of service
@@jaivl1106 thanks!
It looks like Eugene wore something under his kilt but Keith didn't. Or maybe Keith was wearing a thong.
Keith wore red underwear
@@jessicalkarpf Why they pixelated red underwear? Was it too revealing or was it for comedy??
I think it was because his was briefs and you could make "outlines"
It's the same reason they wear the nude shorts
He must have been wearing the knitted thong Eugene made for him!
"we need to clean up your tecnique" underrated and genius
Here's a really sad flaw, when you dismount and you achieved a really satisfying distance to make you scream in joy, it'll all be crushed once you decided to get out of the wrong side of the circle.
Them running with the tape measure had me cackling
"What does working hard mean to him? Oh you know, throwing stuff around the house"
Didnt see the quotes and misread, thought you said twerking lol
This duo is so iconic and is def the elite comedic geniuses
Do we need to clean the areas with the brooms?
We need to clean up your technique
đ€Łđ€Łđ€Łđ€Ł
Unfortunately he didnât make the Olympic team, US throwers are getting better and better in all events, even his career best throw wouldnât have gotten him 3rd.
Sad to see he got 4th! Just 1 spot shy of qualifying
He'll get it next time
@@Jessicalovechocolate yeah in 4 years
Two athletes from team USA competed yesterday and I watched it on tv. I live in Japan. They were out of luck yesterday with Few fouls.
@@thehootenberry210 Ohhh No!! I hope the birds are ok and no fowls were harmed :)
Have fun, Nadie..
I briefly participated in the Hammer throw in High School Track and Field, and yes, our coach did make us throw brooms (also same coach had us do ballet warm ups for Discus and Shot put)
"You look like the stupidest kid at Hogwarts"
I'm totally celebrating it! đđ
"Handsome is number 1" I died lmao
"a popular one these days is 'yeet'" oh no
i missed out
in 5 yrs of doing shot put/javelin/discus throws i have never encountered anyone saying yeet nor said it myself
and now i quit and never said it
Master's. I mean, I'm not sure - is there a Masters sporting category for javelin/hammerthrow/etc.? There are for track, rowing, etc so I guess there would be....?
@Natalie F I will do it in your honour
keith and eugene were totally working those kilts
15:16 is the greatest thing I've ever seen
"i feel like we're two little school girls running through a field"
Can't stop replaying it đ€Ł
I love when they skip together in the yard wearing their kilts and dragging the measuring tape đ€Ł
I diiiiiieeeeeddddd đđ€Łđđ€Łđđ€Ł at Keithâs âare you not entertained?â
I love it when its Keith and Eugene cause I think only Keith can make Eugene genuinely laugh lol
I love how the athlete just randomly say "Ok so, handsome is number..."
11:30 Eugenes reaction to Kieths yell lollll
4:28 in Keith's mind:
'We're working with an Olympian, we're professional, WE'RE NOT MAKING THE OBVIOUS JOKE'
They're not being taught by The Trunchbull?
Thank you for this comment đ„ș
I was waiting for this comment!
@@elliot671 Matilda is my favorite.
this comment made me so happy :)
@@leahmoore6820 i was actually in a production of it recently. haha
Keith and eugene screaming reminds me of modern family with cameron and gloria screaming ahahah
I love this guys dry humor đ
I have always thought it would be helpful to see regular people against an Olympic athlete, just for perspective. Thanks for making this happen!
Conor's yell was a real life dragon born shout
âyou look like the stupidest kid at hogwartsâ
I watched DeAnna Price qualifying throws a few weeks ago & wow, just wow! So happy to learn more about this sport!!
Did anyone else think of when the Try Guys learned how to play golf and Keith's club went flying out of his hands? Even with the safety features I was worried for folks during this video. đŹ
Seeing Eugene in this video is making me realize how much Iâm missing him in all the try guy videos lately. It has to be the 4 of them always to be complete â„ïž
Conor was so funny!
also, watching Keith & Eugene frolic thru the field like schoolgirls is so wonderful âșïžđâșïž
eugene spotting his turns with his head gives me life
Its amazing how the human body adapts to different activities, I didnt know much of this sport, Im lovin' it now!!
i kinda wanna watch them try pole vault but thatâs a bit dangerous and hard to start
I think it's possible to recreate the idea, like at a parkour training facility with those foam pits.
the high jump i think would be better i think its called..when you jump over the stick but with no poleâŠbecause the pole probably take a lot of coordination
Pole vault is the most dangerous event for the competitor. Those poles can snap when you are bending them, and you can fall upside down onto your head. Hammer/javelin probably most dangerous for spectators
11:31 has me laughing so hard I'm crying! Eventually I'll watch the rest and stop replaying that part over and over đ€Ł
I love the verity of sports they are covering. And then the kilts.
Hope there will be a How To: Paralympics !
omg yesss
Same thought here.
âYou shouldnât be able to lift thatâđđ
when i saw the title my theatre kid mind said
âIF YOU WANT TO THROWWWW THE HAMMERRRR FOR YOUR COUNTRYâ
So many bangers in that musical!
I am living for the banter in these episodes
Eugene looks really cool in that kilt. He can make anything fashionable!
I was so waiting for HAMMER TIME
okay we are *not* glossing over Keith to Eugene when he tossed the mjolnir; "You shouldn't be able to lift that..." XDDD
also we have to love how hard the guys are trying NOT to just drop a million dirty jokes at every turn.
The history sections are really giving me Shane doing his history shows, Ruining History and Puppet History, vibes lol Wouldâve been cool if he did them but I also like the British womanâs voice, itâs soothing
She sounds really similar to the narrator on Horrible Histories (the one who would ask test questions). I don't know if it is the same lady but I hope it is!
keith and eugene running in their lil kilts gave me more joy than iâve had in a long time
I had no idea the footwork involved was so complicated! Wow, will definitely be watching for that in future.
A lot of similar rules to throwing the disc but seems waayyy more dangerous which is why i now 100% understand why we were only allowed a throw disc and shotput (and javelin) in high school haha
We weren't allowed discus or javelin either. Only shot put
@@kikibirdball dang guess I was lucky my school let us do jav and disc too!
"You look like the stupidest kid at Hogwarts"
i'm DEAD
Love the grace of this sport and I love these videos with the Try Guys!
This NEEEDS Ned, cause it rhymes with LEAD
Deanna Price(shown at 5:01) joined Anita as the only women over 80m at the U.S. Olympic Trials this year!
Deanna Price- class act & former SIU Saluki! Wishing her best of luck! Nothing but Gold!
I love these videos, Iâm going to follow some sports i have not followed before!!
I was trying to figure out who Conner reminded me of, with the way he spoke and his mannerisms lolol, added with his stature, and realised he reminded me in the end of Superman.đđđ
I love Keith & Eugeneâs chemistry togetherđ we need more of it!
Lmao I cannot get over them yelling YEET! when hammer throwing đđđ
Keith and Eugene are my favorite duo lol
I was in tears at their yells đ This was such a chill and fun episode. Conor is such a delight!
This sport is terrifying. I literally felt anxious watching every throw.
idk when or how it happened, but suddenly keith and eugene became my favorite try guys duo.
This was my fav episode... love the Keith and Eugene energy!!!
This is my favourite episode from the series. The subtle jokes are gold!
"That was intense... straight too!"
Lee Yang, Eugene
The broom! That thing really works believe it or not đ Ex-discus and hammer thrower here
This video was awesome. so funny and entertaining! I cant wait to watch more of these.
when Conor McCullogh yelled i immediately thought of the toph actor from the ember island players ep of ATLA
PE teachers could use these "How To Olympics" episodes as learning materials and students won't complain.
