Imagine running from Eddie and then jumping into water thinking he'll never catch me and then he does that butterfly stroke 😕
u deserve the like
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
hahaha
Hahahah good one i really got a kick out of that
I got dyslexia from reading that
Eddie's a faster swimmer because he finally has enough water around him to stay hydrated.
LMAO
😂
Lmao underrated
😂
Pfft, that amount of water is nothing compared to the needs of a man that dehydrated, not enough water in this world for him.
Swims two laps
“I’m hungry let’s get something to eat”
Obie the HUMAN GARBAGE TRUCK!
it makes sense, they're so huge that they need 10,000 calories a day
@@akimjocelyn4387 EACH

Akim Joocelyn 10k calories they need to simply wake up in the morning lmao
Dude looked like he was 24 at 13
Raging test levels
I'm trying to look 20 @ 50
@@timothycurnock9162 You'll go through puberty one day bro, don't worry.
He might have been hydrated back then
In a positive way tho.
If Brian ever gets attacked by a shark he's got a better chance of eating it than swimming away.
This comment is SO mean. . . .that being said. . . WELL DONE!!! L:OL
@@CobHouseHomestead haha thanks. I love Brian. Nicest giant in the world but that swimming was god awful.
haha
To be fair a shark with balls big enough to attack Brian Shaw probably wouldn't swim too quick with 800lbs of drag
This comment wins
Brian Shaw went full nuclear submarine there lol
😂😂
Good one
ahaha
You mean he went belly up lol.
Lmao
2:35
Oberst: Launches.
Nick: Off to a slow start.
Brian: Drowns.
He wanted to do it like hippos and just walk underwater
@@mariuspequeno2175 lmaoo
Marius Schumacher you win the Internet
@@mariuspequeno2175 man that burn will never heal 😂🤣
This TICKLED me
I think brian tried to lift the pool up
Soffwan Nair nah if he tried he would’ve done it, what i think is that he didn’t fit in the pool so he couldn’t move XD
lmao
😁
😀
😂😂😂😂
Brian is the American navy’s secret submarine weapon
Some say that when Brian jumps into a body of water the shockwave becomes a depth charge
Underwater rugby team candidate
He’s a human torpedo
1000th like!! 😁
Now the puzzle is solved. Brian is the guy from Onion News Global Nuclear Proliferation who protect submarines
Imagine Eddie chasing you in the water
Scarier than jaws
*insert jaws theme*
id just drown myself before he can get to me
Imagine Eddie chasing you....period.
Id rather not... it sounds terrifying
Note to self:
Running from Brian: jump in a pool.
Running from Eddie: Play dead.
Just run, he weighs like 400 pounds
Lmao
Don't play dead when being chased by a wild Eddie just climb a really big tree and pray that Eddie don't pull the tree out of the ground
@@theroyaldutchcompany5898 Or try to stay behind his back
@@theroyaldutchcompany5898, he still is an explosively powerful man with massive stride length. For everyone under 6‘ and no experience in track and field: Play dead!
It's actually really impressive that Eddie still has pretty good form and technique considering how huge and heavy he is.
I would expect him to hit the swimming pool every other week.
@@johnny_eth anything to help cardio which is just as important. We've seen Nick for example strong enough to do various events with the guys, but have to bow out because he just runs out of gas.
Well in water hes light
Exactly. Swimming is a very technical sport and he still has insanely good form. There are obviously some issues but considering he doesn't train it every day it is incredible.
Once a swimmer, always a swimmer. I swam from around age 7 to 14. I haven't done any swim training in years but anytime I go to a pool or ocean, my speed and technique is still good to this day even in adulthood. It's just muscle memory
I've never seen a 150 kg man swim butterfly. Something like that only happens once every millennia
Eddie was a legit swimmer. Broke a load of national records.
I called it Butterfly of Doom
Wasn't swimming. He was mere moving the water backwards. Lol
Denning76 He’s quite the superhuman athlete.
@@TomCL-vb6xc The talk at the time when things stopped going as well for him in the swimming was that it was one of the biggest wastes of talent the sport had seen in the UK.
Turned out to be wrong, he just achieved his potential in a different sport instead.
Brian is very consistent, he swims the same pace in reinforced concrete
You forgot about depleted uranium
Jesus walks on water, but can he swim on land?
2:43
@@yellowcactustvz4929 probably he can do anything he wants to
2:33 Brain is the only one who didnt set off, he just sank 😂
😂😂😂😂😂
Fragz lmao
ROFLMAO
Honestly I was surprised any of them could swim with all that muscle density.
UnknownGomez 😂😂😂
I bet "We're lifting that" and "I'm hungry, let's eat" are the two most common phrases spoken on this show.
What about"I heard something pop"
I just was thinking thatt!😂😭
“ Im 50 years old “
@@michelweber5077 I get scared for them when I hear that particular phrase. 😬🤕😟
Tears are coming out of my eyes, Brian is like a submarine lmao im crying
I was wondering why he was staying under the water so long and making no progress
Then he just kept sinking
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Hahahahahaha same here
@@retiredshitposter1062 lmao you made me cry even more
Same! I'm at work tho lol
Set, Go... Brian drops into the pool, only surfacing for air.
He sank and moved like molasses! lol
StealthAssasin 1Day dude he looks like shrek
Lol 😂
pretty sure he drowned.
the legends say that he is still in that water
Plot twist:
*After Eddie swam, the pool was dehidrated*
Plumcake Cat this deserves more likes
Where did this joke come from?
😂😂😂
@@jw_023 Eddie is always dehydrated
The only reason Eddie ever learned to swim was to stay hydrated.
Fastest 400lb swimmer in the world. Was that a World Record???
That was def a world record
Adam Brown WORLD RECORD??? 😂gotta read it with an Eddie Hall voice
He is not 400lbs
@@brady_6692 who?
A world record?!! It was a RECORD OF THE WORLD!
I laughed way harder than I should’ve at Brian trying to swim.
I laughed way harder than I should've reading your comment.
@@jojuca92 I laughed way harder than I should've reading your comment.
@@SnifferSock I laughed way harder than I should've reading your comment.
I should've put popcorn on my butter
@@pini1076 I should've put that butter on the sandvich
Nobody :
Nick: I'm hungry lets get something to eat
Swims for 1 min.
Nick: I'm hungry let's get something to eat
Sounded like it was Oberst that said that lol
Proceeds to casually take a bite off a live elephant.
it doesn't work like that, ppl say that all the time
As a swimmer, I find it amazing he still has that kind of movement speed for someone who weighs 350 pounds.
Guess that's what happens when he's hydrated.
Thats what he weights now
At that time he probably surpassed 400
Correct form never goes away when you swim competitively
I thought Brian died his takeoff was so slow
No, Brian had to stop and chalk up.
@@ironwolfgaming9632 his hands, feet, shoulders, and the water.
I think he neglected to exercise his fast twitch muscles. You can clearly see that compared to others, he has slow reaction time and slow movement during the strongman contests.
@@samo4003 YEAH because he's the biggest out of the pair he's not a great fast swimmer everyone has weakness.
Sam O he’s also one of the biggest and oldest
Brian Shaw proves why he's a true anchor for any team event...
You deserve more likes for this one lol
haha!
A million likes.
hahaha ! nice !
1:10 Eddie is officially the most all around athletic out of the group
Xhelloxshane X but most dehydrated
This actually looks like a whale migration
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Ok, this got me actually laughing!
That is so harsh!!!
6′ 8″ Brian Shaw might as well have walked it.
He's so tall he coulda ran hahahhaa
@@royal9300 haha yeah, it's basically just a puddle to him
Hard to swim in a puddle 😂
Oberst is 6'8" as well, I think.
@@i_would_but_i_wont I believe he's 6"7' but yeah, they both big bois.
I'm surprised most of the water stayed in the pool
Chig Bungus Now I have lost my faith in Archimedes principle.
The water is constantly pumped so no worries
I always love how engaged Oberst is in other's stories. More than any other strongman I've seen, he seems to take joy in simply being around other interesting people. If I could spend time with any of these guys, I'd pick Oberst.
His butterfly form is actually really good for someone his size
I mean, all that muscle does limit your body's range of motion. That's probably the best form you could get out of a body like that
I’m pretty sure Eddie can set the fastest lap for a 400lb swimmer on Guinness World record.
I truly believe that.
Joe Turner Me too. That would be a cool video for his channel.
Good ol obscure records.
I don't think that he weighs 400
@@karlo9535 Like 370 I think.
my man was 13 years old and buffer than everyone in their 20's
also national swimming champion at 13 in the 50, 100, 400, and 1500 Freestyle.
@@GlennTheSadMarinersFan Now it is clear where he got his discipline for strongman from.
he even had nippel piercing dude wtf
To be fair he has a genetic abnormality
Calum Thatcher he does ? What is it ?
Brian Shaw on Earth: Always late
Brian Shaw in the water: Slow af
I'm afraid to see him in the air doing parachute jump, he'll be so slow he'll reverse time and go back up in the plane
I was NOT expecting eddie to be able to butterfly stroke so well. It's impressive how athletic a man that size can be.
Well, Eddie can't call Brian fat anymore.
Fat floats.
Fact. Got a buddy who is a bodybuilder and was a week from a show. He was on chicken and some salt for the week and absurdly lean. Guy went swimming with his sons and realized he can't float and he's a weak swimmer. Absolutely hilarious.
David Ritchie haha!
True and muscle sinks
@@davidritchie9344 You're not the only one who wittnessed something like that if you come to vienna you can see plenty of that
can't help but laugh shaw pushed and went too the bottom😂😂
I mean this guy weighs around 200kg... He is practically the rock which u throw into the water xD
@@kantholz3400 lol makes me laugh and feel for the big guy
Nick after EVERY challenge, "im hungry lets get something to eat" xD
As someone who used to do swimming squad training - I can't imagine how difficult it would be for Eddie to do the Butterfly stroke. He's far more athletic and more nimble than his physique shows.
If there's ever another Nirvana compilation album, Brian in the pool should be on the front cover of it.
Buffalo 😭😭😭😭😭
😂😂😂
Buffalo 2:55
LMAO
w
Brian sank so hard that he almost created portal to another dimension.
HAHAHAHA STOP :'D
Imagine you are a shark in ocean and this guy swim to you with butterfly style 1:47
u can call it just “fly” easier to type out
When Brian started swimming I thought he was gonna drown
Nobody's giving props to "THE PRETTY ONE", Obrist. He won and did it surprisingly well.
Martin Colvill Oberst, son.
@@presssack
My bad. Thx for the correction.
The beard gave him the advantage
That was suprising af
The wave is hitting Thailand in a few minute
0:33 what kind of kid that age has a nipple piercing and a gold chain while they swim lmfao.
@Gabe Stein nope
I thought the thing in the nipple was a drop off water lol
He was 13 in that photo
What kind of kid that age looks like a 25-year old crossfit trainer
maybe that's why he got kicked out haha
Nick is always saying I'm hungry let's get something to eat hahaha I feel you Nick I feel you
Imagine being a sailor and facing Eddie Hall as a viking..can't jump off the ship nor can you fight him.
Lol yea that battle would be a short one indeed 🙂😁
That's when you find an equalizer
... then perish
But they have swords tho i think Eddie can't stop a sword with his muscles
The only thing slower than Brian Shaw is a wet Brian Shaw, Eddie u crack me..legends
Eddie continually amazes me with his huge size and his wide range of athletic abilities.
Finally we know why Eddie gets dehydrated so quickly
yup this confirmed it he's part shark.
I think Brian is made of part lead
Lmfao
good comment haha
Funny on two levels
"I am more of sinker than a swimmer.."😁😂😂
Eddies so good at swimming because he’s in a place where he can finally be hydrated
Most used line on this show “I’m hungry”
😂
CZcams comment guy or I have the shields lifting record
OBERST is it a shark?, is it a plane????....
No it’s a blubber wale 💦 🐋
yall are bringing so much fun to the platform lately
bless ur sweet souls ur presence literally causes happiness
History Channel needs to pin this comment!
whale* lol.
"Hey lady there's a whale in your boat!" - Tommy Boy
Eddie you are way faster than i expected hahaha
Idk if you guys could tell. But Brian was swimming so fast that you guys were seeing him at a different lap on every frame so he crushed the record and swam about 50 laps.
It's crazy how Eddie a 6"3 man looks short compared to the others.
For some odd reason I found them in my recommended and decided to watch and now I'm looking for every episode I didn't know this could be satisfying to watch
Brian looks like someone just threw a newborn baby into the pool xD
Newborn babies can swim! Refer to nirvana album art
hahahahah!
babies float, Brian......doesn't.
😂😂😂😂
2:43 totally reminded me to the nirvana album cover xD
Everyone's a gangster until Eddie starts chasing them in the water
Imagine going to the beach and seeing Eddie speeding towards you, that’s gotta be as scary as seeing a shark
As someone who went to the state meet in California swimming multiple times in school, I can honestly say Eddie Hall's butterfly is friggin amazing especially for a dude his size. Awesome job Eddie. The flip turn was still on point too Boss.
Today's lesson is: if Eddie Hall is chasing you, the water is *not* safe.
hes not that fast
@@williamguan6735 faster than any average swimmer
@@phurion. well yeah I guess I was just saying from a swimmers point of view
@William Guan Impressive for someone weighing 400+ pounds
@@williamguan6735
He'd win some amateur competitions I'm sure but obviously his weight is too big of a disadvantage to overcome against professionals.
Brian Shaw is the winner for The Least Buoyant Man In History
Those other guys make Eddie look about 5’ 8”
“I’m hungry. Let’s go get something to eat.” seems to be the ending to all these videos. 😆❤️
For a second I thought Brian just sank to the bottom.
hes so tall it looked like he was honestly spending alot of effort to not just walk across the bottom
He did.
they should make a new jaws movie about the sharks escaping from eddie
Well done, sir!
Eddie just gets better and better the more I watch about him
I like how every episode ends in “let’s get something to eat”
It's called a flip turn, Brian, not a kick flip. Haha
And it's brian not bryan
@@terrorhead4040 lol
Omar Al shalaan He was just pointing it out lol, he didn’t actually care that he said it wrong.
Eddie looking like the Zohan with that butterfly stroke.
I love the end where one of the guys says "Let's get something to eat"
0:42 That 14 year old is built like my dad in his 20s
I didn't expect this big man to swim so well
He has a show on Netflix. Swimming is still his favorite cardio. Swimsuit several miles a week
@@awesomeman8385 what's the show called? I only see a documentary about him

Best comment here!
manfrombritain you gonna be swimming butterfly to attract the most attention to yourself and use the most energy?? Okie
MasterGenius I think you should take my username
Such a great show, hope they make another season!
Okay Eddie being that massive but being able to swim like that is incredibly impressive. What an amazing athlete.
That was freaking impressive butterfly stroke with so much mass on. Jesus bloody Christ.
True that
3:12 "I'm hungry so lets get something to eat". I wonder how many times a day Robert says that lol.
the way the pool overflows is hilarious. these men are complete units
Seeing a strongmen swimming is probably what a gazelle sees when a hippo swims towards them.
Imagine what waves will be in the water if they all will jump in
Eddie the shark hahah great clip!
"19 men that have won worlds strongest man and one of them is sat right here" such great line 10/10
Love how it always ends with, “lets get something to eat”
As a fellow swimmer I LOVE THIS! A bunch of people say swimmjng is “not a sport” because you dont get hurt. And I have got tk say that swimmjng is THE best thung that I have gotten into
I legit thought Shaw my drowned in 4 feet of water.
That's why Brian's always late. He tries to swim everywheru
I love their victory line," am hungry let's get something to eat
Eddie continues to amaze me! What a great swimmer!
I wish they did more of these kinds of challenges it’s nice to see them challenge them selves with something out of their comfort zones
Legend says that Brian Shaw is still somewhere in that pool
Nick best every episode, “I’m hungry so let’s get something to eat.” 😂
*Every challenge*
Nick: “I wanna beat the other guys”
&
*everyone after they finish*: let’s go eat
Definitely the best series on strong man all 4 have great personalities hope this is a permanent series👍💪
I think this is how king kong leaves skull island
Dude is so heavy that the waters up like 1 feet everytime every time he dives swimming butterfly. Hes really a beast
The moment i saw Brian get in the water, he just had a lost puppy look on his face like “What is this?” Lmao
