The World's Most Stupidest Competition - Cheese rolling

- The Cheese Rolling at Cooper’s Hill is one of the most spectacular and hazardous of rural English customs. It takes place at high noon on an extremely steep hill (45 degrees) and is open to all. It involves competitors hurling themselves 200 metres down this hill in pursuit of the cheese.
Nobody really knows the actual origins of the Cheese Rolling competition held annually in the Cotswold Hills in South West England. It is thought to be part of an old fertility rite but whatever the beginnings; it is a tradition that certainly attracts a large crowd of spectators. The cheese weighs approximately 9lbs (4kg) and can achieve a speed in excess of 40 miles per hour (65 km/h). On several occasions in the past, the cheeses have veered off into the crowd and caused numerous injuries. The winner of the chase gets to keep the prize of a seven to eight-pound Double Gloucester cheese.
On the count of three, the first cheese is rolled, and on “four” the competitors launch themselves in pursuit. Inevitably, the wheel-shaped cheese reaches the bottom before it is seized, so the winner is the one to arrive immediately afterwards.
Traditionally, there are 4 pieces of cheese rolled, which have been donated and one is specifically for the girls. The cheeses are, of course, Double Gloucester, as is befitting of the area.
A crowd of several thousand turned out to see this year’s spectacle as dozens of competitors hurling themselves down the very steep hill. Gale-force winds and torrential rain add spice to what is already one of the most bizarre and perilous sporting challenges in Britain.
#cheese #sports
they are injuring themselves without involving any animals like bulls or horses. im ok with this tradition.
Well said.
ya id rather see a bull dying than humans
FROST PANTHER GAMING Of course you would
....you do know that makes these guys worse than americans ...lol
@@mildredhubble6848 cheese is made from milk that is milked from cows...
Can we add this to the Olympics?

This is the special Olympics lol
That'll be a sure fire reason for me to watch lol
It might make the Olympics worth watching for once, other than the normal werks of boring crap we have now
No

2018: .....
fuck flying cars, this is funny
Fuck flying cars, they're having fun here
Samuel We still need to have fun.
El Bourro Lele 😂😂
Not a flying car..our money is flying
The local Council and Heath and Safety bods tried to ban this but people just ignored them and carried on. This quirky event has been part of English culture for many years and long may it continue. The people enjoy it, know the risks so just enjoy it.
Even if it's culture I still think it's kinda stupid
@@masterknife8423 that’s good for you but their having fun and no ones ever died or been paralysed. Life’s meant to be lived, don’t like it? Live in a basement somewhere and never leave the house
The cheese is made of unicorn milk. Thats why
Isn't cheese growing on trees ?
Deaa Jobran yea
@@DeaaJobran no it's from the moon
@@lfle9933 its made from the power of friendship
this is the most british thing i've ever seen
As an American, this is the only thing getting me through our shitty election this year. Bless you all and bless cheese.
The only competition where alcohol is used as a performance enhancing drug....
And I’m sitting here thinking this is what Ireland is like.
it's weird and also refreshing to watch an event where not everyone is holding their phone up and actually is watching the event
Risk of lifelong paralysis for cheese... yup... makes perfect sense
Ne O worth it
looks like everyones having tons of fun though
smartguy05444 see ex LUL
Nikka ain't no on on that goddamn hill really chasing that cheese. those housemothers just trying to get hurt. they are so dumb that they even have a line in the end of the hill to catch them as if they didn't just run like idiots from a goddamn hill damn near breaking their neck.
That comment made my day....well done 🤣
This is how Rockstar got the idea for ragdoll physics in GTA games
This will put some hair on your chest for sure... it might not be yours but you’ll get it
With all the grievance and hate going on in the world,Gloucestershire gives us this,fun, courage and togetherness !
maybe an orthopedic surgeon was the inventor of this game...lol😂😂😂
had to look that one up
AlwaysPixel that was’n hard😂
jAJAJAJAJAJA PUEDE SER
That makes too much sense. Probably ain’t true, but still...
found my passion
This made my day 😂
Haha 😂
And what is that user name? Ghetto Gandalf xD
The absolute joy in the faces of these people is amazing. Wish I could be apart of that.
Great English Tradition. Great Gloucester Tradition. Love it...HISTORY AND TRADITION.
I do not know what would become of the world if the Brits didn`t have a cheese chasing competition
Fa Games hahahahaha!
Lol
We'd get bored on a Sunday and fire up the Imperialist Expansion Machine.
This is better for everyone...
I get it. Respect. Cant hate on this. Its culture.
Ok, but don't be calling Americans stupid after this.
Sir Lord Mr President Trump
👍
No respect. It's stupid
ikr like white people have culture. this is culture
Astrid Stoik I hope this is a joke.
If not, are we watching the same video. You call him inferior yet these people are trying to break their god damn necks for a dirty ass grass covered wheel of fucking cheese.
American stunt ppl:we can do very dangerous things. Us Brits: hold my beer
Hold my cheese*
@Peke Cellphone agreed lmao
2:45 when school is serving pizza for lunch
It's not stupid, It's just a funny event. Not everything have to be overdramatic to feels nice
Gadstein TM everyone has to hate on stuff that make other people happy, everyone is enjoying themselves and they have to be over dramatic cunts
yeah true. Those people are boring people that can't take risks and have fun.
@Doodle Boi so what?
Don't say "So What?" unless you're the one paralyzed.
@@DeoxysDNA so what? They do whetever they want with their personal lives, your feelings don't matter
This video has brought me SO much joy!!
3:33 that was fucking ridiculous... cannot believe the speed that guy got up to before going head over heels. How fast do you think he was running there? My guess would be somewhere around 25-30 mph. Its amazing that guy stayed on his feet for as long as he did with how fast he was moving. Its really impressive honestly, and his recovery was a thing of beauty
That’s the only person I’ve seen running down the hill in all the cheese videos I watched
I think what he does there is basically improbable.
when you slow it down and play it frame by frame it literally looks like the strides the superheroes take in marvel movies lmao, shit is absolutely insane
I was born a mile from the hill and went every year growing up, it’s treacherous and so many people have had broken arms legs and have suffered spinal injuries yet it still is popular
I disagree- it’s amazing
it still stupid, they dont contradict themselves
Emma Hutton I do too mate, they should make ot a sport 😅😅😅😅
Binary Number of course it does. Presumably you are a scholar of the arts? They are Just having fun. No need for your dumb comments about westerners. I don't see westerners continually blowing each other up.
Its fun until you get home with every part of your body feels like you got punched
I see a lot of smiling faces so this actually is a good thing
This hill is near me and it's really steep. This is an ancient event, totally bonkers but a bit of fun. The organisers had issues in recent years but an unofficial event still happened I believe.
I need to move to the UK....
First Black American Cheese Roll Champion 🤷🏽♂️😂😂😂
Damn... can't stop laughing
😂😂😂😂
This isn’t stupid! Out of all the truly stupid things people are doing now days, this is awesome. Not to mention comical😆
3:33 me trying to escape from school
CalisTheo omg so true
0:30 that’s what she said 😂
Did I just sit on the couch for 7 minutes and 27 seconds just to watch people chase cheese down a hill
When you have free health-care
Dude at 2:53 tried to stop a huge lunk of cheese travelling at 80mph+ down a slope with his bare foot. What a lad
When Europe gets free life insurance
This is amazing. We've learned nothing from mousetraps.
World is filled with beautiful people, isn't it? 😂
The world: we have the Olympics
Britain: we roll down hills for cheese (honestly worth it)
Hands down. Best thing that has ever been given to humanity
When health care is free.
*"All for a drum of cheese Gromit!"*
Look if he can get to the moon for it, I believe
Now THIS is a tradition! Looks so fun!
flat earthers: earth is flat
Cheese rollers: say goodbye to your career
West Country accents are hilarious. Proper shire country.
Ay... thank you
7:17 was that a bone
eagleman0977 no, it was a stick to prevent his ankle from moving
er
@Moon stfu
"Chris, it was Josh Shepherd!"
6:05 WAKING UP DRUNK @ A PARTY *
Bruh this man was going faster than Usain Bolt 3:31
Person: How'd you get that broken arm?
Me: Chasing after a cheese roll.
Naming this video the way you did makes me think that you wanna throw some hands
6:01 that one guy in only his swim suit🤣
I’m forever in love with their accents 😂❤️... can someone please talk to me with an British accent please 😩
I love that they do this for fun. We need more good, clean fun! :)
I could watch this all day
imagine getting hit by a 80mph cheese wheel and explaining it to the doctors and nurses in the Hospital
6:04 one of the most English things I ever witnessed.
He sounded pretty Australian, but I can see why you would think that.
Haha I think he’s Aussie too and I think he’d knocked himself back to Australia.
How do we deal with overpopulation?
Do a cheese rolling contest
British: sees cheese rolling down hill
Also British: gotta go fast
I did it for 40 years and spent 25 years in hospital. But it's so much fun.
Mom: I’m gonna go get so cheese at the store wich kind do you want
Son: noooooo! I’m gonna roll down a really steep hill and break every bone in my body to get some cheese
I used to live in Gloucester and went to this event one year. As someone wrote in a national newspaper at the time of Fred and Rose West...Gloucester is the sort of place evolution has passed by. 😊
Mean while the cheese flies off in the woods and no one gets the cheese. Lmao
Cheese rolling,bog snorkeling, wife carrying,tomato throwing etc etc people should keep tradition alive
I agree Pete.
3:34 instant regret
me: how dumb
also me: I wanna play
I love it how they got the local rugby team in to stop the people at the bottom
3:28 This guy broke speed world record for sure :D
I could see this sport having its long term health issues lol
This the reason why doctors are well payed in the area
I can't believe I have never seen this before now.
1920: We will have the best technology and flying cars in the future
Reality: A bunch of idiots are almost killing them selfs for a piece of cheese
They were doing this in the 1920s though
Anyone else dying throughout the video? Lmfao
This is not stupid. It's a tradition. A ballsy tradition.
They took the song rolling girl to whole new level.
2:53 lmao the cheese yeeted out of the competition.
GlobGlob lol
"I wuz born to cheese roll!"
I love the line of people at the end of the hill that are there to catch the flying bodies
This is so entertaining to watch aha
This exists.
When bae says she home alone
The origins are that people fell down this hill , cause it was too slippery and others went after them
Who else likes hearing the crowd go “oooh” when they have a nasty fall?
that must be some damn good cheese 😳
There are so many people being filmed rethinking their life decisions 😂😂
6:04 Dude knocked himself back to Australia.
This is beautiful
Dam, that's some good ass cheese.
im here before all the *"who else got this in their recommended??"* guys come in
Now this is some good ol fun.
Legend has it that the cheese is what people fight for now
Great clip but he waterwark is stupid.
Stuff Yeah, like the uploader of this video owns these guy's pain and injuries.
Tutorials for.. How to break your neck ..session -1
On the outside it might seem dumb, but I have deep respect for the people who compete in this event. They can take one hell of a tumble and still have a smile on their face while having fun.
1:47 when you find out you get to eat the cheese even if you don’t catch it
This really doesn't bring on a feeling of hope for mankind.
We'll go out laughing
