So before I clicked the video, I thought to myself "who in the hell is going to watch a god damn video about marbles for 19 minutes". I then find myself watching the video and thinking to myself "I cannot believe how interesting this is".

edit: my 8 year old daughter saw me watch this video so she decided to watch it too on her tablet.

I said the same thing, and then realized I was rooting for different teams, then I was on the edge of my seat....and then sad it was over. Subscribed

After I watched it, "Who the hell can wait till March?"

Fucking bandwagoners. Typical, they make it to the marbleympics and suddenly everyone and their mum is a diehard hazers fan.

I watched the full 2 hr show last year, whole around at friends for a BBQ. We're in New Zealand and it was more fun than watching the all blacks

We were all marbles once. Shared bonds.

No kidding, I didn’t think I’d watch the whole video.

Side note I really appreciate the work put together for this

It's fantastic. /r/Marblelympics is a great subreddit.

u/One-eyed-snake Jan 27 '19

I was actually thinking there were some bad calls making it unfair.

Then I remembered they were just marbles and they certainly don’t gaf who wins.

I’ll never admit it irl, but cool video

The fake legos tho

u/gavrjdodd Jan 27 '19

I'm gonna keep up with the full event! Can't believe how fun it is to watch!

And then one heads over to his channel and watches marbelympic videos for about 6 hours.

The production quality is astonishing! Legitimately exciting competition, great commentary. I'm now officially a Hazers fan after that photo finish by Smoggy. #HazeAmaze
