In the spirit of yesterday’s video of Ronda Rousey magically appearing to armbar the Best Buy Geek Squad comes O sonho de Anderson Silva (“The Dream Of Anderson Silva”).

In it, Silva dreams that he is (more or less) playing a game of Beercup on an international level, improving the game of pro soccer by adding rear naked chokes, jumping kicks to the chest and referee intimidation. The story, as far as I can tell, is that Anderson is so bored during MMA fights that he starts fantasizing about being able to punch people in other sports, and is already deep into absurdity before somebody hits him and wakes him up. Then, because etiquette, he kicks that person to death.

Trust me, it’ll all make sense when you watch the video, which is included below. Well, everything’ll make sense except the part where he’s delivering food on the beach. That’s still pretty weird.

Enter the world of BEERCUP DRUNKEN FOOTBALL. At least, I think that’s what it’s supposed to be. It’s an Icelandic hybrid of soccer and mixed martial arts. The video was uploaded with the title “bearcup,” and I’ve listened to enough Bjork songs to put it together.

I’ll let you try to figure out what’s going on. It’s over three minutes of Icelandic dudes just whaling on each other for no reason, seemingly independent of any kind of soccer they’re playing. People get slapped, tripped, thrown, punched in the stomach and jumped from behind without any repercussions or points or anything, and the goalies are barely trying. Seriously, the goalies just stand there and kinda put their leg out whenever anybody tries to score. The f**k is going on with this game? The entire thing is set to the spectacularly NSFW sounds of Dope’s ‘Die Motherf**ker,’ so that should put it into perspective for you.

My theory is that a bunch of guys in Iceland wanted to have a gang rumble (Outsiders style) but Icelandic police (or whoever) were too strict and wouldn’t let it happen, so they came up with this weird, hyper-violent version of Calvinball to beat the ass out of each other as much as they wanted. Secondary theory: Iceland is weird, and some guys just really want to hit each other.
