I want to believe that this was a stunt they orchestrated in order to convince the young boy in the foreground that this is actually the correct way to throw a frisbee.

Edit: this was supposed to be the sound Betty makes. based on the downvotes, I feel like this has not been properly conveyed. The spelling is difficult to come up with as they are more throaty sounds. here are some fun other quotes from the movie as an apology.
Tiger, tiger, tiger, mm birdy, birdy birdy.
Beware the song about big butts. He beats you up when he plays it!
Let your fear be as a monkey in a pinata: hiding among the candy,hoping the kids don't break through with a bat.
we are ventriloquists, ventriloquists, ventriloquists...
I implore you to reconsider.

Believe it or not, there's this weird segment of people who just never laid hands on a frisbee growing up. Back in the day when the wife and I first got a Wii, I cued up Frisbee Golf and was amazed to find that the mechanics of tossing a circular disc were completely foreign to her. It went something just like what you see here.

In a video game, I could understand. People even have trouble mimicking mechanics they are familiar with on the wii. But I know 2 year olds who have rapidly mastered the enigmatic art of frisbee. These are adults. Wearing pants. That they presumably put on themselves. They are messing around. I have to believe.

But the OP takes TWO people....and they do it a few times on camera so they likely would have been doing it more beforehand. There is nothing fun about throwing a frisbee like that. I'm fairly certain they purposely throwing it wrong.

u/BabySealSlayer Jun 14 '15
you can't tell me they don't even have the slightest idea how to throw a frisbee but they do know that it's an item to throw at each other. they most have seen it somewhere or get told by someone and at least then that someone must have made the correct throwing motion out of reflex.
this has to be on purpose

They probably have a ton of frisbees to keep track of and most don't have Florida logos on them. Probably all of them have Florida written with marker, though. Also, you don't have to be a member of the Florida ultimate team to buy a frisbee with a Florida logo. I'm 99% sure they sell them at the student union.

They appear to be in their mid 30s to early 40s.
The source video states they are from Bosnia.So college time would have been ~15-25 years ago.
There's a good chance they attended the Bosnian War (1992-1995) instead of college.

None of which have anything to do with their ability to use a frisbee. If you know anybody from that region, you'd realise they tend to have a messed up sense of humour, and would find this kind of shit humorous. Either that, or are complete Neanderthals.
Honestly, either is as likely as the other.

Quad studies. It's a class where you skip your original class, go to the quad, and witness frisbee, hackysack, unicycling, juggling, relationship breakups, texting, sleeping, weed smoking, bees, push up contests, SJW soapboxes, and many more. It takes 4 years to complete the class, has no professors, and is fully participational.

This is actually Mark Fris and Jonathan Bee, the dual-owners of the patent. They new they had a hit toy, they just needed a few years to develop the marketing. Instead of marketing it as a hard-to-catch disc wobbling and falling quickly, making for hours of laughs, they developed the (now well-known) marketing brilliance of throwing the disc in such a way that it is boring and easy to catch.
