@@MrSJSweet - The video came up in my TH-cam feed, so I accepted the suggestion. I watched as much as I could, then a few other interviews and "performances" by the guy. That's all, so don't read into it any more than necessary.
@@slinkerdeer - my dislike is simply that the guy tries too hard, looks absolutely idiotic, attempts to make obtuse gender statements and isn't funny. He tells long winded "stories" that are as boring as bat shit, and prances around the stage like he's somebody special. Unattractive fellow as well, with a strange sized head. So, I guess that means that I didn't find anything to like. I didn't even laugh AT him... my only emotion was to be embarrassed for him. LOL
"We're setting up a british olympics where each and every event is a british event, like the british hundred metres...excuse me, pardon me, excuse me, pardon me, i think i was here first." lol
Just saw Eddie in concert for the first time on His "Stripped" Tour.Dude went non-stop for 2 hours and then an Encore in addition. Amazing energy and freaking funny as H. We caught Him at the end of His tour at the Kodak in the middle of Hollyweird,the perfect location for an Eddie Concert.The you leave the Kodak, walk out on Sunset,and watch the freak show!
The only time I've run when stoned was when we had run out of skins, and the late night shop closed in 5 minutes. I'd never be able to beat the time I clocked that night, I was a blur.
Eddie actually knows things. He knows about the French American War, which i was so surprised at, and geez! how he can make the French American War into a laugh, is beyond me, but he can!
I would just like to point out that "the block" who run 26 miles wanted to warn the Athenians about a possible naval attack on the city. Other that that this guy is brilliant :)
We had something similar in the 80's, called the freak Olympics. Every team has it drug of choice and must stick with it during all the "events"! The only event I recall is the pickle race, the contestants ran a 50 metre foot race, whilst holding a pickle in their arse...no hands allowed...oh, I forgot, it was also a relay race😎😜☠️⚡
The 420 thing is part of the fun of smoking pot...It's a pot legend :) It's a fun thing to talk about when you're high (and not, apparently), it brings hilarity and good conversation. We'll never know exactly how it started or why, but that's part of the fun.
Smoke a joint and win the 100 metres-fairplay to you lol.Thay get tested to check that they are actually on drugs-he he. Thanks for putting it on here :)
Actually, as far as I recall, the Pheidippides legend has it's origins based in the 1879 poem of the same name. The runner was actually sent to ask Sparta for help, a distance of around 140 miles. The mainly Athenian army marched the 26 or so miles back to Athens, because the Persians were sailing around the coast to attack it directly. Over the years, it seems that the two stories have become somewhat conflated into the legend he mentions here. Still pretty funny though. And yes, I am no fun at parties, which is why I never go if asked.
that would be the ecstasy olympics. Everyone one in the stoned olympics would be too paranoid.... "Do you have cones?... No f#@k off..." Fine lets run then.... "F@#k it, I've got the muchies.... McDonalds???" :)
when you get 5 tablespoonfuls of sugar, shake them in bucket full of crushed lightbulbs and pour them into your trousers when you're sitting on a cornflake, then wait until 4:20 chimes on the clock and you will know the significance, believe me, it is very relevant.......

Just take a moment to imagine how much fun life would be if people like Eddie Izzard were running the world.
I love how he squeeses humour out of dead jokes. Jokes that doesn't swing, he catches them mid air and make them funny anyway somehow. Legend.
it makes me happy that this ended up at 4 minutes 20 seconds
It would have made me happier if it ended a lot sooner. [YAWN]
@@johncoops6897 why watch it then John?

The thing I love about Eddie is that he's not only HOLARIOUS, but he's educated. It's smart humor.
One of the best comedians. His personality just shines through.
Hahahahahaa my god, the mimics of this man are really great! It's just a delight to watch!
5 stars for all of his stuff!
"Smoke a joint and win the 100 meters and fair play to you!"
It has taken 11 years but this has finally become reality
I'm watching this at work and I'm laughing too hard. This is too hilarious!
This man has just made the olympics 10000 times better.
i think that i just found that thing my life was missing. omg i love this guy! why have i never heard of him?
the pizza and hurdle mime got me in stitches
"We f***king wooon!"
Lol Eddie Izzard is hilarious!
Did anyone else notice the video is 4:20 long?
Huh?
4:21 here
"Fuck he's amazing, I've never seen anything like this!"
^^ My words exactly.

More realistic than the regular Olympics, I watch the commercials for that and think "No ordinary human being can do any of those things"
The high jump in the stoned olympics would be just a bunch of stoners in a bounce house jumping up and down.
They're all high so would they all win? :P
Thank you for cutting this to exactly 4 minutes and 20 seconds. It started me off with a well needed laugh;)
I love his boots and humor. Love love love this guy
GodDAMN, that man wears amazing heels! I couldn't even stand in them; I don't know how he does stand-up in them... But he's just awesome like that.
Disagree. All of his other sparkly stuff is fine and dandy but blokes in dresses skirts or heels is a straight no from me.
Kinky boots, man.
That would be more entertaining than the actual Olympics
The ‘3-0’ line was so underrated! So funny! 😂😂
"and are never...heard of...again." so good :D:D
Stoned Olympics video is 4:20 long
how can you not love it?I want to be in the stoned Olympics.
it's jinious how the jokes from the begining of the act come on the far future of the act.
eddie rocks!
The only time I've run when stoned was when we had run out of skins, and the late night shop closed in 5 minutes. I'd never be able to beat the time I clocked that night, I was a blur.
😂
he's really good looking like this, its great, i (female hetero) wouldnt mind if more guys dressed like izzard
And in the 2024 Paris Olympics, who else but Snoop Dog carries the torch? I think Eddie might have been onto something here!
British 100 metres... 'excuse me', 'pardon me'... he forgot 'sorry'. This is so true! 🤣🤣🤣
I had noticed that too! ..... that's so awesome!
I'd hear Eddie Izzard saying fucking hell or bloody hell all day long.
As a currently stoned Brit I can note we’d love a Stoned Olympics didn’t fuck win fuck all in 2012! Let’s it make it happen.
Eddie actually knows things. He knows about the French American War, which i was so surprised at, and geez! how he can make the French American War into a laugh, is beyond me, but he can!
"Smoke a joint and win the hundred meters, and fair play to you. That's pretty damn good."
love the Withnail and I reference!
GETINTHEBACKOFTHEVAN!!!!
Damn him!
So funny yet I've lost the game!
But pure genius!
Man I hate the real olympics, but I'd quite enjoy watching or participating in Eddie's version :)
i luv him and his boots are sooo to die for
...and are never heard of again.
best line ever
i would have to say, that i would love to train for those olympics...
Eddie Izzard is one of the most intelligent and funniest comedians I've ever seen!
I would love to see this happen! haha
my granddad is really good friends with Eddie, cuz he works in the Theater where Eddie first started his career! YAY! My family knows famous people!!!
he is in the oceans 11,12 and 13 movies !! nice actor
Best idea ever lol id so watch those olympics

No Way mate?!,Cake or Death?LOL

I noticed the 4:20 thing. Roffle. Eddie and weed. Two greatest things on this planet in one video. amazing!
Sounds great
4:20 is international time to blaze a joint : )
just giving the thumbs up for this is funny to me
Hang on, I'm forwarding this to Switzerland~
I loved him in Across the Universe!
LOL long jump falling, pole volt throwing over hahahahahahha
WOW, these comments are about his sexuality and preference and NOT his stand-up.
I, for one, LOVE Eddie Izzard, he's hilarious!
I would just like to point out that "the block" who run 26 miles wanted to warn the Athenians about a possible naval attack on the city. Other that that this guy is brilliant :)
I would watch those olympics!
*Sticks guy with javelin*
Ah, sorry mate... Can you run with it?
my favourite Izzard moment cest magnique
Me too. People think I'm really funny when I get going. But I never get as funny as Eddie does.
For the love of Mr. Rogers' sweater....your right
"so it is true but it's not funny, that's what you're saying" great
LOL "fuck it's amazing...." HAHA
Someone should make this though. It would take off!
lol;
'some of them already rolling their own'
lol thats the first thing i noticed, too
Eddie makes a strangely pretty woman....and hes not a bad looking guy either. Man, he's got the best of both worlds!
you have to admit, if everyone in the stadium was stoned it'd save a lot on fancy visual effects for the opening ceremonies.
Count me in!!
hahaha

lol brilliant
Someone send this video to Michael Phelps! and all the news media.
Dammit... i just now saw this one... you beat me to it!
:p
lol that is the very first thing i noticed
Yeah because no one in the entire world has ever thought or even IMAGINED the idea of a giant joint. No seriously, before Eddie it didn't exist.
"... and are never heard of again"
You are definitely onto something.
He does make a good point.
thats hella funny, 4:20 long video, how perfect!
the stoned olympics hey start running then they all hug each other
Hits different after the "2020" Olympics
that's 10 times perfection
Mel Brooks had a giant joint in "History of the World Part One" during the Roman times.
Smoke a joint and win the 100 metres-fairplay to you lol.Thay get tested to check that they are actually on drugs-he he. Thanks for putting it on here :)
