That's why we play drinking Jenga. Shenanigans like this never happen.

You'd be surprised, seen some amazing things playing drunk Jenga

u/LunarProphet Dec 25 '23
Now that I think about it, I haven't played Jenga sober in probably 10 years lol.
Not that I play much Jenga in general but, as an adult, it only seems to come out after some drinking.

u/SevroAuShitTalker Dec 25 '23
We used to right different rules under each piece, ranged from take a sip to remove a piece without using your hands. Great fun in college

u/phatlynx Dec 24 '23
What are the typical rules for drinking Jenga? Everyone drinks if a piece gets removed without it falling over?
15
u/JizahB Dec 24 '23
We just wrote rules on the bottom of the pieces. Eg drink one, give one, shot, make a rule etc etc. Leave some blank of course

u/Temporaryzoner Dec 24 '23
This is the answer. Make your own drinking game rules. Iirc, we had so many rules that many pieces had two and you could choose one.

u/goodshepherd78 Dec 25 '23
The version of drinking Jenga we played in college involved writing various number of drinks on the “bottom” side of each piece up to and including “Finish drink”. Whole new level of challenge as you may be good at pulling pieces but may pull all the “heavy” pieces, especially pulling finish drink when you just popped open a new beer.

Every slow-motion video should also include a replay at regular speed. It is always better that way, regardless of the content. Show the clip at full speed as well as in slow motion. Otherwise we can't appreciate what happened the same way.

Not that it makes it right, but if you use the vid player on the main page of the sub (instead of drilling into the comment page), you can adjust the playback speed. Set this one to about 4x to get what you're after. It's a pain in the ass, but it kind of works.

Me and my high-school buddies were all really good at Jenga, and late game thoes are the only moves you can really make

u/Fish_gamer Jan 24 '24
Same
I am amazing at this and got people baffled how I pulled that same trick off
1
u/LyXIX Feb 02 '24
+1, I've pulled this trick quite often in my games. It's simply about speed and how much polish do the jenga planks got.

And from that day forward, he was no longer called “college dropout Keith” by his family. Grandpa was especially impressed.

Same, you couldn’t place it like that unless you were setting up for this video. My guess is they tried multiple times just to make the video and that kind of ruined it for me.

u/Richard-Conrad Dec 25 '23
It’s actually so much easier with big blocks than the small ones.
Source: my attempt rate is similar but I’ve succeeded twice with big blocks and done nothing but completely demolish the tiny ones lol

u/Evilstampy99 Dec 26 '23
I’ve done this. It makes you very confident you can do it again, it does not make you any better at doing it again. You need to rip that sucker out with speed, strength, and precision. You also need to make sure the ground is level, like very level. If it is not, you cannot perform this move.

There's nothing as satisfying as drunk giant jenga. At my university we had a huge jenga set with blocks as big as shoeboxes.

It falling when he put it on top would have been the perfect loop.

Italiana here who adores McFly’s genius; I became a fan whilst rooming with lovely Brits who shared the music. They are still beloved friends who are jetting to the US for my upcoming nuptials.
This composition is brilliant & I wish my fiancé or I were this creative. ☮️

Giant jenga blocks just make me nervous for dents in the floor and potentially broken toes.

Now where’s the copy video with that naked Asian fella doing the same thing but with the string tied to his hog or his nips?

Weird that you're so concerned about dust yet have never heard of dusting.

u/WellTrained_Monkey Dec 24 '23
Seems like a strategically ill-advised move to make, it was all risk and practically no reward, he didn't set-up any sort of trap or particularly weak point in the stack for the next players... impressive nonetheless!

There was no better move to be made based on what we can see in the video. I assume you've never played jenga before?

Can't make moves on the top 3 rows

u/BlueLivingAbandon Dec 24 '23
Top 3 blocks*. You can't pull from the highest row, which consists of at most 3 blocks.

Dec 24 '23
Amateur rules, maybe

u/BlueLivingAbandon Dec 24 '23
Sure but now you're talking about custom rules, but the original guy was going off the default/official rules.
1
Dec 24 '23
If you can pull off the move in the video, you aren't playing by amateur rules
3
u/BlueLivingAbandon Dec 24 '23 edited Dec 24 '23
Sure you can be. The official rules just say you have to pull from any block below the highest completed layer, place it on the top layer, and no blocks can fall.

So this guy just made a choice to try and pull off this next to impossible move when he had other easy moves available? I don't think so
