"I promise we're not that good." My Midwest self has said something like this before and then smoked the competition. The self-deprecation while being competitive is REAL!
"Keep er' movin" a sitcom about a small Wisconsin town. It could be like "welcome to flatch" on Hulu......except it would be better. Can see it now...new bears fans move jn next door lol. It would be amazing.
I might be biased, but I prefer the northeast over midwest cuz its a lot more honest. We won’t be uber polite and all that, but if we like you, we let you know and if we don’t we let you know. I prefer that over heaps of ‘politeness’ and mumbles under the breath or behind the back. Say things to my face like a northeaster would
@@Slurptacular64 I can see that, but at the same time plenty of midwesterners are just plain nice. No facade or behind the back whispering. I feel like when you grow up learning to always be polite, it gets ingrained in you and becomes real.
This is one of the best comedic bits I've seen in a while. The camerawork, editing, lines, the details like the sweat, incredible! What a commentary on the differences in American culture
Their contents pretty good. Mostly skits and parody songs about having kids and stuff like that. They were also on The Amazing Race and easily the most functional team I’ve ever seen on that show
I literally live 15 second down the road from this tennis court! Why do I always miss you Charlie?!🤣 Classic Slice pizza makes some good pizza and it’s right across the street
Oh yeah, no. You're thinking of Sijan in Bay View. Easy mistake. This park is definitely in Manitowoc. They must have just hired the same guy to design the park, and he just turned in the same homework twice.
@@UrbanPanic sorry man but your wrong. I take my dogs here everyday, even tho technically I’m not supposed to but we won’t talk about that haha. This is most definitely Sijan park. I can literally see the skyscraper in the background and saw classic slice pizza across the street… also the houses are the exact same soooooo yea.
I know a Midwestern guy that just retired and moved to Florida. He was saying he loves playing pickleball against all the really overly confident and serious players because he smokes them. He would probably say this video is pretty accurate
I love this video so much. 😂 My sister and her husband are triathletes. My husband is a 54 year old stoner and I am a (overweight) Deadhead. We kicked their asses in badminton over the summer while I had my Margarita waiting for me on the “sidelines”. I feel like I’ve lived this! ❤❤
This has legit happened to me playing cornhole....a couple showed up to the bar like ready to own everyone and me and my buddy were already half in the bag and taking shots on each point. They were mad. We did buy them some wings after we crushed them tho.
Love how Charlie and Ann Marie have the $2O WALMART pack of paddles and Penn and Kim have the $200 paddles. I know, because I started on the $20 Walmart paddles!
I noticed that too, haha. Though I didn't know enough to know how much more expensive their paddles were. Personally, I think Kim has a little too good of a form on her serve...I think we have some secret pickleball enthusiasts on our hands here!
Am I the only one who wants to see a Netflix sitcom starring Holderness fam, Charlie Berens, Dude Dad, You Betcha guy and Trey Kennedy? We need another "show about nothing." It could be the Seinfeld of a new generation.
This is like legitimately funny and well acted. It’s better than current modern family. If I was a tv executive I’d see this as pretty much the easiest job of my life- you guys are already there.
I live in Southern Missouri. My High school had everyone Freshman year make a Pickle ball paddle in shop the first semester and in the second semester we all competed in a Pickle Ball tournament. I thought this was normal... at college I found out that no one else even knew what Pickle ball was. It is still huge here. There are Leagues and courts galore down here, way more than we have people for. I don't know why... but I love it!

@@jalpat2272 Ever heard of the Driftless Region? People drive through the Midwest on the flattest land available for interstates and think they know this vast region.
I know it's crazy to think, but I had to watch this video twice, they made this video in front of the home I grew up in as a kid. Always loved going to the tennis court so close to the house, parents never had to worry about us going far, that fuckin highway in the background, good times.
As someone who lives next to a massive pickle ball complex of about 30 courts that has Lululemon infested tournaments regularly (St. George, Utah) I can absolutely confirm that this video is accurate in every way.
Cheesus crust, I live in northwest Ohio and I see NO difference in life. I think it’s why I enjoy Wisconsin so much when I’m there. Wisconsin mantra “this is eerily familiar” “Feels like home” “Am I dreaming?” “I could live here”
If there's one thing we Midwesterners can do well, it's play yard games while drinking.
Hahah big facts!!
Im still proud of inventing lawn chair - drink in hand - bocce ball
I cannot make a single hit in cornhole if I'm not holding a beer in the other hand.
Youbetcha..
Yes they can !
Charlie hitting with the under the leg and behind the back moves... must be the Miller flavored Gatorade
🍻
Or him waving hi to someone and hits it😂😁🤣
And waving to someone and hitting a winner… then apologizing for winning🤣
Lil do we know it probably took him an hr to make those hits.
"It was Gatorade"
Check Bilardo "Era Gatorade", Pure argentinean folklore.
miller just tastes different I swear. I try not to drink beer often but when i do i go bud heavies and miller. just a wonderful brew
Everyone in this killed it lmao this had me cracking up
Phenomenal acting all around!
Really?

That's the ol' Midwestern dagger between the ribs. We know it hurts. We know.
"I promise we're not that good." My Midwest self has said something like this before and then smoked the competition. The self-deprecation while being competitive is REAL!
Probably playing Sheepshead... 😆

A much better combo than Fireball and Andre’s Cold Duck.
Lazy Man's Redeye?
"Stop being so nice!" Got me laughing at the end
I spit out my beer.
Just when you think Charlie covered everything Midwest he finds something else to make fun of. Hitting the ball between the legs just cracked me up!

"Here we are, at the park" is an underrated line.

Thats the line that did it for me and made me click on the video 😂
Fiendishly underrated
Why this isn't a sitcom of the likes of "The Honeymooners" is beyond me. So much better than what they're putting on the networks today.
Christmas movie
Agreed
I would watch the hell out of whatever sitcom or movie is inspired by this.

They do a great job of pairing and contrasting “Midwest nice” with “northeast pretentious”

Modern Family ended years ago…

I love the "Hey how are ya?!" and it bounced off the paddle.
"Finding my inner child. Finding my inner child. Wheeee." The icing on the cake! LOL!
Good day from Ludington! The Badger is all snuggled in for her long winters nap and will be dreaming of Manitowoc.
"Are they having conversations with other PEOPLE?!?!?" 🤣🤣🤣
I live in Florida. These old picklers are hilarious. My old man took pickleball too seriously and blew out a knee at age 62.
We all know one.
When i need a good laugh i come back to this......thanx
When he talked about "correcting her shot," that was spot-on.
Excellent instructional video. I fully understand that the Bloody Mary is the key to winning!
The outer ball not so much
Charlie, you're awesome. Love these videos with you and Holderness Family. Keep up the great work.
Us Midwesterners are incredibly good at being casual yard game gods while drinking lol

From Australia and I thought that this was a joke, playing on Tennis peoples weirdness. Didn't realise pickleball is an actual thing.
Neighbor just put in a pickleball court, this is the first time I've seen it played. I like it. Just now discovered I love Midwesterners too. Liked and subbed 💙 ☺️
As a midwesterner who is much better than all my adversaries at racket sports like pickle ball, this is accurate
This is the most Midwest thing i think I've seen and i live in the Midwest. Cheers
Watched this a couple days ago on the Holderness channel. Any video with Midwest Neighbor is an instant LIKE on that channel.
Not enough has been said about Mrs. Holderness’ expression when Mr. talks about correcting the flaws in her game. Well done!
Great film grammar on the pickleball scene. The way they just stood there while the other team struggled, very funny visual gag. Well done!
