The World’s Fastest Jump Rope Is Hilarious, For Some Reason

Written by Brandon Stroud / 05.17.13

Watch in amazement as a woman spends 30 seconds jumping rope faster than anyone else on Earth. She’s like a hummingbird! She also kinda looks like she’s going to the bathroom. Oh well, that’s the price you pay for fastest jump rope superiority! (via Reddit)

Jump Rope Girl #cangetit

Jump Rope Girl

What the what.

This video features Adrienn Banhegyi.
She performs with Cirque de Soleil, and holds two world records for jump roping!

What you’re about to witness is the most ridiculous display of jump roping I’ve ever seen. Adrienn is advertised as JUMP ROPE GIRL – WORLD’S BEST JUMP ROPER, and I’m not going to argue. She jumps rope on location in Budapest, Hungary, and some of the stuff she does is so fast and complex you have to rewind to catch it. I didn’t know you could throw around the jump rope while jumping rope and still keep jumping rope. I don’t even know how to phrase “jumping rope” properly. SHE JUMPS THE SHIT OUT OF SOME ROPE

Here is your new athletic overlord:

Chicken Exercising? Chicken Exercising. Because ART.

Written by Brandon Stroud / 03.07.13

chicken exercise

Meet Mamika and Bob, subjects of photographer/conceptual artist Sacha Goldberger, as seen on Faith Is Torment. Yes, it’s basically just a lady and a chicken. The photos are really endearing, oddly, and if you ever wanted to see a chicken exercising and jumping rope, here’s your shot. Because art. It’s better than the push-ups monkey, at least.

Sports On TV: The Three Stooges’ 15 Greatest Sports Moments

Written by Brandon Stroud / 09.27.12


Three Stooges sports moments

The Three Stooges were a comedy act that lasted from 1925 until 1970 (!), and yeah, while the majority of their act was showcased in theatrical shorts, their lasting cultural relevancy comes from a television revival, so we’re counting them as “TV”.

Your opinion of The Three Stooges may vary, but your Dad loves them. They’ve come in and out of social consciousness in so many ways it’s hard to describe. They’ve been in movies, they’ve been in cartoons, they’ve been re-imagined for modern audiences by the people behind There’s Something About Mary and been an influence to countless comedians, even the ones who won’t admit it. They were never the most highbrow thing in the world, but they did something right. They also featured a lot of sports in their features, and because I already dated the hell out of myself with the 20 Greatest Sports Moments Of The Brady Bunch, I might as well trick the blogging audience into thinking I’m 100 years old.

If you like this week’s Sports On TV column, be sure to drop us a comment (especially if we forgot something important), click the “like” button to share it with strangers on the Internet, and maybe send it over to your Dad. He’ll think it’s funny.
