Does anyone non-American actually find this crap funny?

In reply to john arran:

I made myself watch two minutes. Woefully bad.

In reply to UKC News:

Wasn't just me who hated it then. Sorry.

In reply to UKC News:

Reminds me of the cringe-worthy ads with Ally McCoist and Chris Kamara. Shite.

In reply to olddirtydoggy:

The Classical Music one from the same people is quite funny. Well, Step 16 made me laugh.

I liked that but then I would-

It's pretty American but I found that funny to laugh at from a British perspective.

In reply to john arran:

Found it much more watchable than most bouldering videos

In reply to john arran:
I found it quite funny in parts. Especially the Alpinist in the cave.

In reply to UKC News:

I liked it. Especially the pitchfork guy and the walker asking questions. The trad climber wasn't bad either.

I think they're Canadian.

In reply to UKC News:

The alpinist was the best bit.

In reply to UKC News:

I enjoyed that

In reply to UKC News:

Made me laugh

In reply to john arran:

Yes, crap is about right. But completely harmless crap. I mean, there's no sexism in there for folk to get offended by (actually I suppose there could be as I turned it off at about two minutes..)

In reply to UKC News:

Seemed a bit stupid at first, then I realise I'm sat here with my grip-master on hand, often complain about my injured finger and can't get away with even the slightest of dabs.

In reply to UKC News:

Much better than that sexist one

It made me chuckle

I do remember a friend spending over 40 days on "Boot Boys" without completing it so the project but seemed very real to me

In reply to UKC News:

The alpinist made me laugh out loud. Clearly ridiculous but I enjoyed it

In reply to aln:

Reckon it warms up further on in, with a great line about beta for the boulder 'cat ear....pinkie...legs'

In reply to john arran:


I thought it was surprisingly self aware............ by American standards. Not actually funny though.

In reply to Jezzamiah:


maybe if i'd made it past 2 minutes I'd have found out, but life's too short and it had its chance!

In reply to UKC News:

I surprised no one found the stereotyping deeply offensive

In reply to Kemics:
Really, people! It's a bit of harmless fun made by a bunch younsters having a laugh and enjoying life (not to mention going to a heck of a lot of trouble and probably expense) for the amusement of others.
I 'liked' it. And the classical music one too.
The 'dislikers' should post a 'humerous' little film of their own ... go on, I dare you.
Hmm, thought not.

In reply to UKC News:

I thought it very amusing.

In reply to john arran:


Laughed out loud twice and chuckled several times More enjoyable than 99% of climbing videos which basically just try to show how amazing and cool the protagonists are.

In reply to UKC News:

Ha chuckled all the way through. Guess I have a sense of humour...

Much better content compared to yet another post about some random bouldering competition.

In reply to Robert Durran:

Funny that, becasue MEC is a Canadian brand.

In reply to bouldery bits:

haha yes. that was fairly funny.
