O-Man - Komedie

Might I suggest you balance this English cheese madness with some Scottish shitfuckery and review the Braemar Games? That shit's mental…HUGE men chucking tree trunks about, etc and while there are rarely foodstuffs involved most of them do wear attire that might show their meat & veg at any moment…❤️🏴❤️
I never tire of your commentaries ❤
You big, beautiful bastard. Cheers, legend.
I actually researched the history of this. Pretty interesting
Over the loud speakers “yeah, nah, yeah!”
Ozzy Man should be the official commentator for the cheese festival
Hey, Ozzy Man should be the official commentator of everything! Think Douglas Adams everything: LIFE, THE UNIVERSE, AND EVERYTHING should be commentated by Ozzy Man.
IMO, anyway.
For sure. Idk how this hasn’t happened yet. 🤷🏼♂️
@Wendy Desparois Okay I would pay cold hard cash for this.
Nah everything
Ohh for sure mate ! LOL
I love that they have a rugby team at the bottom to relieve the competitors of any excess momentum. That is to say, if you made it down the hill safely, there is a large, burly man at the bottom waiting to shit-mix you and make sure the job is done right!
Some would suggest an inflatable barrier would do a safer job but I think safety doesn't really figure in this event.
lol shit-mix you is hilarious, im stealing it, its mine now.
I heard that the official organizers declined to organize it any more over a decade ago so the townspeople said, "Fine, we'll have our OWN cheese rolling event!" and kept on doing it.
it's a bit of a stretch to say it was ever officially organised... it's a 200 year old tradition kept going by committed locals not bound by regulation
This is stupidity, historical value doesn’t make it smart.
@@landonw8982 spending your time commenting on a youtube video about something stupid is probably even more stupid but here you are
@@landonw8982 Nobody ever said it wasn't ridiculously stupid
@@landonw8982 No one said it was smart but it's damn good entertainment
I've never seen so many people so determined to snap their legs like twigs.
Or maybe they just wanted to be featured on Ozzy's channel.
Cheese is expensive yo
Or determined to be concussed!
tbf since ozzy reports on this every year. it's a viable option to achieve a lifetime goal.
@@jessicad83 well the person who won the ladies event was actually unconscious when she crossed the line. They had to revive her before they could present her with the winners cheese
NGL Id be tempted to give it a go if I happened to be in the UK at the right time purely for the chance of getting a spot in a destination fucked video. Mind you plenty of opportuniteies here in Australia as is.
The chick that won absolutely BUSTED out of the gate and dove *immediately* into a barrel roll! She maybe took 6 steps the whole way down and crossed the finish line unconscious! What a trooper!
Pretty sure that was her strategy! Roll down the entire hill
And she did it properly, tucking and bending her arms and legs so they wouldn't snap.
Trooper is one way to describe her.
The lady who won even while unconscious, is a flucking legend.
The girl from switzerland rolled faster and took a harder beating. I think she should have won instead
@@lobomalsano it's a tough one, Switz girl might have took a harder beating but it doesn't beat unconsciousness. 🧀🧀🧀
Us Canadians are extra crazy...
It's the equivalent to the NASCAR driver that won a race sliding in on his roof.
Obviously Swiss and Canadians do well in this sport - it's kinda like curling on a slope
only in the English countryside could violent death remain something that is "cosy" lol
It's like the English soldiers trapped in a tank with the enemy surrounding... they just sat it out with tea and biscuits. The new Challenger tanks have two water heaters...
@@thebrowns5337 I thought they've had tea brew capacity since WWII. Small comforts can mean a lot
It's better than the violent death that played out in english countryside in previous centuries innit. Romans then angles saxons and Jutes, Danes, Normans, etc etc
Now most international competition plays out on soccer pitch or olympic stadium
Very cheesy 😂
aaaaaand the africans win
How is this not an olympic sport yet?
The Olympics would probably make the players wear protective gear
@@Janary08 and remove the hill
and the cheese
@@Janary08 or give free ticket to NHS
The drug testing would eliminate everyone.
Is it weird that instances of complete madness like this make me feel so proud to be British?
Same, especially as various authorities have tried to ban or ‘organise’ it (monetise it) for being too unsafe and everyone just carries on doing it anyway, power to the people!
We're a country of quiet nutters mate, 2 World Wars and all that.
@@seldom_bucket Will do, cheers 👍
@@HRHtheDude quiet or not, it's fucked
Stupid but proud, bravo 🎉
The fact that this event has never killed anyone so far is beyond me
but maybe it's just Ozzy Man's awesomeness drenching the hill they descend so utterly recklessly😂
must be somewhat soft ground preventing people from breaking their necks. and by the looks of it, they might have both a lower and an upper age limit.
This event will be organised yearly, until someone dies.
@@Ass_of_Amalek ground wasn't soft this year
@@allasar How else are we to learn? 😂
@@HellHunter00 Well, I guess common sense still isn't widespread in our species. So let natural selection do its thing I suppose 🙂
This ceremony originally took place each Whit Monday, but was later moved to the Spring Bank Holiday. The first written evidence of cheese rolling is found in a message written to the Gloucester town crier in 1826; even then it was apparent that the event was an old tradition, and it is believed to be at least six hundred years old.
The English: Mad as Hatters, for Centuries
Meks ya prahd t'be English
No record of the event before 1800 - certainly no evidence it being 600 years old.
But there was a Cooper's Hill Wake that took place every Whit Monday that included shin kicking, girning, a maypole and eating and drinking.
The cheese rolling is the sole survivor of the fair.
@@Wotsitorlabart Mate, I was just citing Wiki. Take it up with publicly available knowledge
@@LordEriolTolkien
Never trust anything Wikipedia tells you.
Today's lesson.
@@LordEriolTolkien inb4 people start trolling you for using Wikipedia
I absolutely love that you give this niche-as-fuck-yet-violently-entertaining event coverage year on year
"here comes the lead singer of Wheatus , and down goes the teenage dirtbag!"
😂 Good God damn, that instantly took me back in time 23 years.
These are the Heroes that make sure that very English invention of Gravity still works as intended.
Sir Isaac Newton approves this comment !
@@PinballBob1Sir Issac is shaking his head, an apple with suffice
Yes! Another cheese rolling festival. Thanks again Ozzy Man
Seldom have I felt so proud to be British. Cheese rolling is without doubt our greatest cultural contribution to the world. God save the king.
Meh, we have a lot to be proud of.
All the hate britain gets is cause we where the most successful at the end of the slave trade (which we alone ended worldwide).
And his Facist Regime !!. Is that from a song ?.
@@colingregson8653 indeed it is. Perhaps as a country we need to act less fascist. Perhaps we should aim to be more like some of the great democracies of the world. Maybe we could be more like Russia? China? North Korea? Iran? 🤷🏻♂️ by the way, the correct spelling is fascist.
@@andrewwood6498
I believe the gentleman was referring to _Facism_ - the latest cultural offence criminalised by Woke Central Command, which makes it a punishable misdemeanour to refer to someone as (eg) "not very attractive/ugly/a right bloody minger/looking like Donatella Versace" etc etc etc.
I knew you'd review the race! Been waiting with bated breath, as they say! Full Respect to Delaney Irving for bringing home the cheese for Canada! Unconscious when she crossed the finish line, but whatever! I'm sure there'll be a parade and a cheese tasting. Go Sports!
How has Ozzyman not been invited to the event live to commentate on the proceedings? Absolutely criminal.
things like this bring about a real sense of pride for being an englishman
the woke will get it banned soon cheese is to WHITE
@Proud Anglo-Saxon all ways
When I see, its idiotic. We all know in silence its dum. Its you body.
Yes, nothing represents better the spirit of a nation that does that. Then we wonder why they did the brexit...
Bore off.
Yup, that’s what I call good ol’ British fun! Careening and bobbing uncontrollably down a hill, smashing heads, torsos and limbs while chasing a cheese wheel. 🤣🇨🇦
What the world doesn't realise is , we would do this in the UK even without the cheese. For fun.
it seems that the cheese is not relevant to the competition, its just the prize. Am I wrong?
@@stevevernon1978 Who needs a prize :)
Used to do this as a kid with mates
Cheese is getting so expensive !!. Think I'll enter next year in a bumper ball . I'd win every race 😁😁
Usually when they bring out the blanket, it means they are about shoot something dead.
Thanks for that- just spat my coffe out :)
too soon......too true.........
Thought they finally had a casualty....
All I thought was it had to be something broken really good, either bones sticking out or limb facing the wrong direction. Or, a lot of blood.
😂
that wheatus' lead singer description was hilarous 😂
Happy to say. I have done this once, about 20 years ago. Once, is more than enough.
How many bones did you break?
@@melindacadarette3447 Lucky none, but did have a banging headache and few bruises, which lasted a few days. Once was enough, that's for sure.
Full respect 👍
Most women are smarter than a few other women and all men- Ozzy Man, 2023 😁🤣
😂
😁
1:54 This isn't a joke. the woman who won was unconscious when she crossed the finish line.
Even funnier lol....this wasn t an accident. She looked at that hill and said yeah lets go
Just a nnother crazy canuck, jumpiing of a hill.
Nothing like the Annual edition of Destination Cheesed
I love that this has evolved into an international championship
It's hilarious, isn't it 😂
Global Britain at its finest....
Should be an Olympic Event !!. I'd watch it !!.
@@colingregson8653 prolly need 4 years in hospital to recover after each event
Before my grandmother passed, I showed her one of these videos and she told me that every year, a member of the Welsh branch of our family sneaks onto Cooper Hill the night before the cheese roll and plants a big rock in the middle of the hill.
Glad to be Dutch. Over here, cheese is available everywhere, and the country is too flat for cheese to roll away. No injuries needed to obtain some Gouda or Edam.
I love Gouda!
I mean, we Brits can also get cheese from a shop. Most of them are on land without the slightest hint of an incline but where's the fun and serious injury in that?
@dogstar75 Don't listen to this guy, we don't have cheese in shops at all and the only way for us to get it is to catch it rolling about in the wild.
@@cheatermccheat6378 Yeah, I figured. Best of luck catching that cheese, mate! (Or hop on to this side of the pond to get one without rib fracturing)
Ah, but you see your shop bought cheese just doesn't have the same depth of flavour as a wild cheese captured after a good chase by the hunting party. The cheese actually uses hills as an attempt to throw off persuit
As one who has broken clavicles on the left and right shoulders from playing as a small-statured winger with wild abandon on a rugby team, I'd like to say to many of those participants - I feel your pain... 🤕😵💫
The Sheila that won is from my city. Can confirm she was unconscious when she won.
this place is not far from where I went to Uni and we went to watch one year, back in the 90s. what pictures and video never seems to catch is just how bloody steep it is, especially at the top. seriously, just walking down it is difficult enough.
I suspected that. Should go check it out some day, guess it's on private land.
Thanks for the insight, explains why there seems to be a shortage of steady legs.
I was thinking everyone was TOTally drunk by the time they chased that cheese 🧀
@@snowstrobe It's on a public footpath. Go and explore.
I think we owe these people a round of applause for volunteering to take a trip to Destination Fucked.
nope once you have been to destination fucked....you then you go to next level...cheese rolling festival.
👏👏👏👏
I've been out of commission for three weeks because I rolled my ankle! Watching these folks fly around like rag dolls yet still get up, dust themselves off and head out for a pint after makes me feel like I must be made of glass!
I want to congratulate every contender and spectator for making it up the bloody thing for what was a lovely sunny bank holiday. Thank you all for keeping the madness alive.
Ozzyman reviewing this festival might actually be my favorite yearly tradition now
I'd imagine a middle ages King thought to himself-"hmmm, all these starving peasants would make splended entertainment if we roll food down a hill....."
Hey Ozzy, you forgot to mention the rugby team at the bottom of the hill waiting to catch the lemmings.
Glorious day when I see an Ozzy Man video, even more for cheese rolling.
Absolutely need one of these athletes to be wearing an Ozzy man tshirt next year!! Internet fame, secured..
Feel proud to be a Brit, 🇬🇧 when i see our annual cheese rolling competition! 😂😊🤪🤪🤪🤪
The annual Cheese Rolling competition, Bog Snorkeling, Morris dancing, Caber Tossing, Welly Wanging, Dyke Jumping, The Goons, Monty Python!! 😂😂 We are proud to be a bit nutty over here! ..... Oh, and that reminds me! .... Madness!! 🎷🎤🎺🎶🎵😎
Thanks for covering this again Ozzie Man xx
A couple of weeks ago I got to see the original video from the competition this year , it's like the Groundhog day celebration here , I don't get to see it every year , I simply get lucky and stumble upon it . But watching this is even better with Ozzy Man's commentary , play by play action , well done .
In the 21st centuries ever growing paranoia and obsession for safety the Cheese Rolling Festival stands as a beacon of hope that dumb and stupid entertainment still exists.
Price of cheese over in the UK at the moment flinging yourself down a hill is starting to look like a good idea.
Absolutely love your coverage and commentary, Ozzy. Let’s hope there’s a pub in the hospital.
Few who were doing fine, the organisers ensured to take down at the end with clothesline and spear WWE style.. 😂
This festival video got me into ozzyman reviews it's nice to see this festival is still covered by the legend ozzybhau
Did they really have to add the Rugby players tackling you at the finish line?
It's reminiscent of MXC. 🤣
Yes - it's for health and safety. If people hit the wire mesh fence, they'll end up as 1" squares.
The wire mesh fence is for health and safety, too. If it wasn't there, competitors would barrel into the crowd and decapitate toddlers.
It's all very proper, you know.
“Yes it is a requirement” - sincerely the rugby team
My whole family is unhealthily obsessed with your videos now. We NEED you to review American Football please!!! Thank you very much for bringing laughter back to our home. 😂
I went to watch this year and it was one of the best things I've ever seen. I was even fortunate enough to eat some of a winners cheese. Film does no justice to the gradient, every competitor is a fucking hero!
Proud to be British 🙌🏻
Ozzy never fails to mention every detail about these bloody bloke's every move 😎😭😂
which one?
"There's the lead singer of Wheatus." is fucking KILLING me LMFAO. It's so great & subtle. Bravo!
Same here! Had me in stitches 😂
Same. Hahaha. I suddenly remember the music video and it's thumbnail.
After weather show reviews and of course, gymnastics commentary, this may be Ozzy’s best work!
Been waiting for this since last year 😂
the 'aka bloodthirsty fuckers' got me. XD
If you watch the original footage of the girl who was unconscious as she crossed the line .. let's just say it has been described as "the faceplant of the century"
2:11 this bit killed me!
Nice to see the lead singer of Wheatus is still having a career.
That's why she's happy to win - in Canada, that cheese wheel would be worth a few thousand dollars
😂 Very true!
That moment when the game goal turns from 'catch the wheel of cheese' to 'try not to die'
I've been waiting for this...ozzy man never disappoints! 👍🇬🇧
Ozzy Man thank you for reporting world news without involving politics!!!
Take him to the pub right now 👌
Bugger! I live about 5 miles from this & never been! Keep missing it 🤬
Thank you Ozzy Man, guess I have to watch the Aussie coverage lol 😂
Love the 2010’s Broncos Jersey in the thumbnail! Thanks Ozzy man
i love the women being super careful and men just yeet themselves down, theres a reason women live longer than men
The girl in the red though like a rocket
lol... this is how Keanu's stunt double trained for John Wick 4
I love this channel I had a great laugh this morning thanks to you ozzy man
A Canadian girl won the women’s division this year,she didn’t even train for it,I guess us Canadians are just naturally athletic,eh ?
Train falling down a hill on your face 😂
I've done it the past 2 years and I can assure you that that hill is much steeper than it looks in any video. It's quite literally breathtaking haha
Crazy fecker. Maybe time to retire , while you still can.
Cheese has got quite expensive of late.
cheese rolling and cars sliding gently into eachother in icy conditions, i could watch those ALL day lmao
so many wicked wipeouts
Unsong heroes I tell you. Respect and appretiation to the kind cheesrolling town folks, every year bringing a smile to our inner child. Christmas levels of joy.
You're funny as always Ozzy man
Reasons why I love my country.
So you love birmingham?
@eatinsomtin Birmingham, although shite to British standards is still far better than 90% of the world's other cities.
@@TheTwoFingeredBulldog I agree, but, I will never love Birmingham despite living 20 kms from it
@eatinsomtin I live 30 miles from Birmingham, but travel a lot with work. Mostly Europe and UK. Been to some right dives over the years. Paris being the worst by far.
@@TheTwoFingeredBulldog Yeah, the stench filled Parisian streets are disgusting. Not what anyone would want to expect when going there. That would be a hard battle for the worst between Birmingham and Paris.
Love the commentary, always nice to have a laugh after a tiring day at work.
Humanity chases cheese down dangerous hills, locks itself in tiny cubicles multiple hours per day, and carries dog turds. The aliens have to be convinced that we are a slow breed.
Awesome vid. I have done the mud race, but the cheese rolling is just too hardcore for me 🤔
Fucking hell, why aren't you over there doing a live commentary! You'd be perfect over a PA system
That would be epic but I'm almost positive his commentary is pre-written for the vids.
@Dave S While this is a scripted video, I have no doubt Ozzy Man would be more than quick-witted enough for live commentary.
Awesome commentary. Great way to start my day
Wherever you pause the video while cheese is rolling is a masterpiece frame of pure expressionism.
Something nice at 1:45. It is an addicting sport.
I'd just dive like a water slide, probably be safer than tumbling.
Wait better yet, do the ol' rolly sideways down the hill, get dizzy AF but would win I bet.
You just have to admire the ingenuity of the people who thought this up.
Doesn't take a whole lot of thought lol. Just find a hill, a couple of blokes and sheilas with no sense of self-perseverance, give them something to chase and let the gravity do it's work.
My favorite part is if you do well, and get down fast and relatively clean, there’s a row of big dudes who are going to make sure you get knocked tf out.
The Roy and HG of cheese wheeling commentary. Gold Ozzyman !
I laugh at that Wheatus impersonator. Haha.
Same lmao
I love how people are just waiting at the bottom to tackle and run aways
They’ve got a whole rugby team 😂
@T Raybern No train tracks anywhere near. Its a nature reserve.
Lead singer of Wheatus had me in stitches 😂😂😂
I lost it at the "Lets have a crack at the Sheila's...i mean lets view the Women's event." line, that was beautifully delivered.
I'd need more than just a mid-strength beer...
So full strength?
People in the UK….
Good show people 👏👏
The rest of the world…
What the F Did I just watch 😮
😂😂
To be fair, that can apply to many things in the UK 😅
I bring my own splints and tape with me.
"Lollipops and giraffes in the sky." LOL
Thank you for the upload mate!
So proud of our Canadian cheese rolling champion! 🎉🎉😂
Best thing was she didn't know she won that one race 😂
apparently she woke up in the medical tent with the cheese in her lap hahaha
@@Stagyar-Zil-Doggo 🤣
Mmmmmm cheese
This is amazing. Finally in HD as well
Just had surgery so I should not be laughing but the commentary got me good. "I should be at work." Hahahaha
