You should come to the US and do this. You wouldn’t even need to worry about the disguises.
"That chubby, pasty guy from Britain is really good at darts"
"Which one?"
Just like the whole of your NBA, MLB, NFL etc lol, nobody would know who TF they are, probably your victim mentality woke leftists so nobody cares.
From Britain is exactly what an American would say.@@Landauh
@@karenbaker7168I know they play it in bars, but I'm not sure if it's popular to watch as a proffesional sport. I get, its about as followed professionally as the British follow 9 ball pool. I wouldn't recognise any famous pool players, even though there is a pool table and team in most pubs in the UK.
My friend has just moved to California from the UK to work, and he has joined a dart team in a local bar, I'm not sure if they play the same format as us though.
@karenbaker7168 Darts are popular here in the US but mostly as bar fun or league. I watch almost all PDC tournaments and have yet to meet a fellow American who even knows what the PDC is. Cheers from Detroit!
Pretty impressive that a couple of teams took 2 legs off the pro's....hats off to them guys
i bet he was well happy with that.
There are a lot of good Super League and county players out there, anyone can have a blinder of a leg.
I wonder how many times he's going to tell that story down the pub
I once hit a ten-dart double to start leg, if only I could play like that even 10% of the time you're right we all have one good game in us the difference is doing it consistently.@@Wally-H
Such a European sounding conversation right here! Hahah. Love it (American)
I love it when pros do stuff like this. I bet all those fans had the best night of their lives. Awesome.
Yeah, sure you'd love it if you were an amateur trying to win a local tournament if you are misled and get taken apart by pro's in disguise. Real fun.
@@zooropa33 those amateurs practice in the hope that one day they will get to play against the best in the country. No dart tournament prize money is ever going to change their lives. But meeting their role models will.
@@zooropa33You clearly don’t understand at all….
You didn't even see them hit the board lolol. What are you talking about?! All u see is their face as they throw... not the board.
@@zooropa33it’s not like they’re not allowed to enter anyway, no different then being in disguise and just rocking up to play off their own back
Jonny even doing his signature celebration at 3:52 😂
I noticed that two as soon as he turned and stuck his arm and finger out , I think I would have said , Hey hang on think I have seen that move before
@@dangreene3895the throws alone are a dead giveaway
pointing to the invisible camera hahaha
Noticed that, dead giveaway..lol
Straight at a wall, out of habit 😂
I want to see MVG with a luscious curly blond wig, playing a pub tournament! 😁
1 word tho, and they know it's him ...
@@Chapter3Fan "BOOOOOOYAAAAAAAA!!" 🤣🤣🤣
@@steviesteve1 yeah I think my frank would fall ... 🤣🤣🤣
Maybe he could go disguised as Shrek... oh no, wait a minute...
A bit dippy are u.
This is the main reason why I have gotten back into darts the past 4 years.... the people. What a great bunch of people involved in darts now, in all aspects. Cheers to the players, PDC people, ITV people, Sky people. Top class!🍻
Agree. Big aspinal fan for just how he enjoys the game for big shots and wins whether it's him or the opponent. Then I get thinking Clayton, Cullen, Micheal Smith, Peter Wright, Dobey, and many others are the same way just enjoying life. Makes it fun and a special sport on its own.
What do you mean by sky / itv people? Genuinely interested.
@@peakproofukThe people who put on the TV events?
And the excuse to get rat-arsed all day...
That's the pleasant difference (of many individual sports) to football. There is prize money of X amount and no van Gerwen, Wright, or whoever can say: "I'm not even traveling for that!"
While 18-year-old "boys" are hyped by their advisors, earn millions and behave as if they have already achieved something in life. I am also a fan of my hometown's football team. But such “athletes” are extremely unpleasant.
It was a fab night to be a part of, still can’t believe it 😂
You gave Jonny and Joe a scare!
Did you or anyone there have a suspicion you were playing ringers? I really love the idea of the event, Clayton's disguise was amazing!
very cool --- you have a story now !
I love the spirit of the whole affair. Everyone really friendly and they clearly loved it
@@jimjogger306 Because you've just found out you basically played against world champions and had no way to win the tournament
@@3y35poihjpn It was for charity.
@@3y35poihjpn That would be classed as fraud. You do realise this was to create a show for the PDC advert and did not represent the real tournament right.... Embarrassing you think this was a legit tournament.
@@jimjogger306 I think you are overestimating the fact of how much I give a shit... so I was wrong? Okay cool 😂
@@3y35poihjpn Enough for you to comment in the first place, Bizarre thing to say.
Clayton was pretty easy to recognize because of his throw and smile - the others were almost impossible, wouldn't have recognized them If they told me who they were 😅
I recognized Cullen's throw pretty easily
@@Taratatante yeah but it's not as unique as Clayton's throw and smile in combination 😛
Clayton was easy, but the Asp as well. The rest was a lot harder.
@@erwindewit4073 The Asp was only easy because we saw him transform - without any clue it would take a while!
3:16 💪🏻 Joe Cullen gesture
obvious
This was great. Massive props to those make-up artists!
Really, looked very clearly fake to me
Because u watched it... if u were there.. u would not@@jackybogues2495
@@jackybogues2495 the thing about prosthetics is, when you see it being done and you know it's fake it does look kind of fake but if you'd been one of those lads there not knowing, you wouldn't have been looking for it. There is a big difference.
I think these makeup people try too hard. It ends up looking like a Halloween costume. Go for the "less is more" approach.
@@jackybogues2495
Facts...especially the guy with the red hair and beard. Maybe they didn't have enough time to fluff up the details?
Fair play to all the guys for being good sports, true professionals, giving something back to the public 🎯
Can you imagine footballers doing this ?
@@pincermovement72 Christiano Ronaldo has done something similar getting disguised and doing football tricks in public, the videos are on TH-cam
@@pincermovement72 Yes, actually. A great many footballers do a lot of good works, but they don't publicise it.
They're just normal guys at the end of the day, and were just like these lads before hitting it big.
@@pincermovement72yes I can. Loads of footballers do things for charity and go and meet people is hospitals etc
Damn ... The sportsmanship and the fair play is top tier 🎉🎉
This is what makes being alive today so wonderful - I woke up at 5am today, made a cup of coffee and this randomly popped up on my feed. I just watched a bunch of guys 1/2 way around the world have a lot fun, smiles and a great time playing a simple game of darts.
It’s the little things folks. The little things in life that bring us together, make us smile and help to try and make our short time here enjoyable.
Thanks to everyone in this video in helping to remind me to smile and enjoy life. Thank you from Long Island, NY.
True words brother 💪
Life can be so easy to enjoy
The Little things …
Life is a Game smile everyday and live it to the best
Nice! The darts spirit of fair play is incredible to see! Wishing good luck after 4-0 defeat with an expression of honesty on the face! Got to love it!
They just got defeated. They knew the others were way over their level - but still cool of them to acknowledge it openly! :)
Good to see how many of the amateurs were clearly aware that they were playing noticeably stronger players!
look how friggin happy everyone looks!!! looked like alot of fun!
“A lot.” Two words.
@@kevinjones5560🤓☝️
@@kevinjones5560 “Knob”, one word
Seeing those grown men smile like children on Christmas day when they came out, priceless. Great video
Quality 😂👍🏼 what a great surprise for the lads in the pub , and for the 2 teams who managed to take legs off Jonny and Joe , hats off to you both … what a laugh that would of been for a night in the pub
Jonny couldnt resist doing the point 😂
It's so ingrained he did it to a blank wall XD
Those eyes of their opponents when revealed who they played against and the 😍 in their eyes watching them dart. Lovely
Imagine if they double bluffed them and had another team with some other professionals to play them both dressed up. Both thinking they are gonna get an easy win.
😂😂😂😂😂
Anyone who watches darts could tell who they are just by the throws, and I’m sure the camera crew was a bit of a giveaway
We were there filming 'social media content' for Paddy Power and filmed with every player on the night!
@@officialpdcwell the throws and scoring would have been easy to tell, you could tell it was Clayton anyway, even with the makeup
@@motorhead4870Clayton was fairly obvious with his throw, but Asp is fairly generic in throwstyle and Cullen and Dobey were VERY well disguised!
Only Johnny would stick out - His face structure was also still visible in disguise.
Insane makeup
After you know it it's more evident. But out of the blue it's just too random to figure it out
The vibe in the room, when they realise, was sick. Wholesome video.
What a treat for the guys at the pub. To get the chance to play against those guys and take a couple of legs. Magic!
Yeah man can you imagine heading out to play your favorite game for a chance to watch the best of the best play only to not only find out some of the best are there but to literally hang with them after! Enjoy a pint and shoot the shit with some of the best players in the world.
Imagine when "Luke Littler" wins his first major in a few years time they'll unmask him on stage like this and it's been MvG all along 😁
You mean take off his mask that makes him look 20 years older?
Hahah 😂😂 that would kill me
Crazily, he's only Brendan Dolan away from a world championship semi-final.
And then one of Dobey or Cross away from the final.
well ive never seen them both in the same room together lol
😂😂😂
I love how happy everyone looks 😀
Great to see London's Best Darts pub was used for this - was lucky to be up there at the end of the evening and everyone had a fabulous night
Priceless❤
Had a smile on my face the whole time while watching😊
Great stuff. Can‘t wait for the worlds to start. 😍🎄🎯
Great video lads.these players have come from humble beginners playing for their local darts teams,to playing for big prize money,a lot of hard work to compete with the big boys.
Come on Asp, lets get that World title brother! Stockport is behind you mate.
YES!!!!!
Germany also is (at least I am haha) Go asp!
@@CCAAJajayyesssss too
Would love to see Asp get far, but I think its down to Humphris or MvG, but I bet MvG will fail in the very late stages - Been kind of a thing the last few years now.
Genuinely a fun and sincere moment. Props to the make up artists, the banter and folks that were there. Was great to see so many ladies in attendance also 😁✌🏽
Please do another this is great. Would love to see a longer version with the full matches would be great.
What a great treat for the pub boys. This was awesome to watch! Great sport!!🎯
2x a 4-2. imagine if 1 team had defeated these guys, that would be fantastic. And then see that you beat 2 world players
Honestly, the fact they scored those 2 against them IS a victory for them. That's unbelievable actually!
What a brilliant night for all those who attended. Great for the game of darts.
What a treat to play against such class players for the local guys. I love these instances when regular folk get to meet pros like this. Class acts for doing it.
i saw Jocky Wilson at a pub event in Fife years ago.
Watched him practice and hit a nine darter just warming up. In the competition he marched to the semi final but the guy he played was fantastic and should have won but Jocky just got though. He was a gentleman all night, much loved in his local area.
And that" Reet Petite" song was a classic too
It shows, darts is an all peoples game. I enjoyed the sportsmanship of the amateurs. Great fun!!
I'm more impressed by the massive unit on security detail 4:48
Bloody awesome lads Fantastic the smiles all round says how much everyone enjoyed themselves.
Insane idea that was a real Christmas gift for every darts fan 😊
Well that was thoroughly wholesome viewing! Don't care what the discipline is, always love seeing good sportsmanship.
the guys they beat were so gracious about it too! super nice and sporting
Love it when professionals of any sport do this type of stuff. Love the reactions they get, especially when the people they are pranking find out who they really are, lol.
As they say, Brilliant!
One of the better disguise reveals on TH-cam.
You don’t have to know any of the pros (i didn’t even know there was pro darts) to enjoy the video. Well done!
This is why I love darts a sport filled with such amazing people!
look how friggin happy everyone looks!!! looked like alot of fun!. The vibe in the room, when they realise, was sick. Wholesome video..
This was brilliant awww merry Christmas everyone this has warmed my heart what a fantastic video 😊
This video was absolutely fantastic! Well done lads!
Amazing to see professionals do this. I remember going on a pub crawl in Hull with the players from Hull KR many years ago. It shows they are just normal people with special skills ❤
"They were class that last pair we just played" 😂😂😂
Well done lads, giving a bit back, made them peoples night a night to remember
That was brilliant. Such a cool thing to do. Made their year :) ❤
for all participants it is a special experience to be able to play against these stars and to be so close to them to have autographs and selfies with them. It's nice when stars aren't out of touch
My favourite bit of all of that was Jonny doing the camera point with no camera 😂😂
hahaha youre right, had to rewind to look for it but yeah thats the best part. pointing at a white wall
Fantastic! A great bunch of lads. To make it as a dart player and be part of that circle would be something special.
That make-up was amazing too! Props to the artists!!
Merry Christmas to all X
Always love to see how pros are on another level in these. And the people can see their talent a mile away.
The smiles on the faces of the guys in the pub - priceless
I Know nothing about darts, but that was awesome. So good to see everyone just having a great time. Fantastic initiative.
Amazing video, more of this please :)
brilliant.. i could watch hours of this.well done lads..👌🎯
Fantastic, good job. This is why the Darts have such loyal fans.
I watch a lot of darts but this absolutely brilliant loved it
A night to remember for the crowd 🥹🙈😂🙏🏻🎯
What an example of good sports! Hope you had fun folks!
Fair play to all the guys for being good sports, true professionals, giving something back to the public
So heartwarming, just massively positive allround!
Very Xmas'y too! Superb job, massive thanks to the makeup crew!
That was great, could do this more often with othet players as well 😁
Priceless
Had a smile on my face the whole time while watching
Great stuff. Can‘t wait for the worlds to start.
there must of been playing along as they would of recognised their throwing styles. massive credit to the players awesoem lads
I really enjoyed that. Well filmed and delivered, a professional piece of work all round.
This is class... they are freaking superstars but don't feel to good to do this. Hats of to those guys ! Never forget where you came from ❤
Hardly superstars. Pretty sure they could walk down any street undisturbed.
Incredible talent in that room along with the darts players. Brilliant artists.
Brilliant, well done lads great stuff. Merry Xmas to you all.
That's pretty cool to give all those ppl that experience. Well done.
This video could have been easily 10 min longer 😂
Great idea love it haha.. ps Clayton looks like Christian Horner
Magic what a good bunch of pros giving their time to take part in a local pub tournament sure they thoroughly enjoyed themselves
This show what a absolute joy it is to trow darts with mates😄
Brilliant to see the pros given back and having a bloody good laugh 👍
this is class haha
Great video, great players. Enjoyed this one !!
I don’t even like darts, but I enjoyed this video. It was great seeing how the fans reacted before and after the reveal and the whole thing had a feel good vibe about it.
This boys is what we call smurfing
Nice video - I’m sure this is all set up and everyone is in on it ? Because I’d definitely notice Johnny Clayton’s throw - Edit: I’d definitely know most of them maybe not dobey 😂
I was one of the players in the tournament & can confirm no one had a clue (except for the PDC staff) all the pros used completly different darts, flights & throws. Some even used accents (Cullens Welsh accent needs work 😂)
@@josephkilduff5161 wow that’s so cool mate - fair enough I can’t argue with that evidence 😂
What a giggle, well done all involved. That's what it's all about.
My Mum, Bets on the Horses 🐎 Every Week with her friends down their local Pub, and They Never Believed Me, That ‘Paddy Power’ was a Real Guy! lol 😂 I had to show them Pictures and Videos on TH-cam and They Still Thought I Was Winding Them Up!! 😂😂 It took about a Month for Them to Believe Me but She is 76yrs Old and Her Mates are about the same Age! Lol 😂 She would’ve loved this happening in Her Local!! She’d have Called Me and Told Me, She’s Met the Real Paddy Power!! lol 😂😂 Keep doing what you’re doing, cause you’re making Great Memories for People that they’ll never forget! 👌👏👏🎯
😂
This should have been an hour long not 6 minutes 🤷 and why didn't they reveal who they were by pulling off the masks in front of the crowd? The reaction would have been priceless?!!!
Unfortunately it wasn't as easy as that! It took 20 minutes to remove the prosthetics.
@@officialpdceven better, they would have sussed it out slowly when they started to pull bits of there face off!
I know nothing about darts but I know good sportsmanship and the lads showed it!
you can genuinely say its a once in a lifetime experience to play against the top players on the planet.
those lads will never forget this. brilliant bit of fun.
This is amazing content hahaha, love this so much. There is not a more down to earth professional sportsperson than the professional darts player.
Looks like a great night of fun. Well done all.
beyond amazing, loved it!
Look at the smile on their faces..😊 good job.👏
nice to see every darts fan in the world in one room
This is so cool! Love to see the Pros fooling the Joes. A bit of fun!
Look how happy all those guys were - that's brilliant. I'd never watched darts before until that past final there obviously drawn in by the spectacle of a 16 year old making a grand final. Really loved the sport watching it. Going to be watching the upcoming Premier League now as a new fan of the sport. Don't have any individual favourites yet though, like players wise. Just the sport so far. lmao.
Enjoyed watching this with a big smile on my face!
I used to play a lot 20 years ago, sure miss it. Going to have to start playing again.
