the pole to the contestants: time to get yeet'ed
YEET

@Bartulbert 420 funy
YEET
The person who captured the flag. actually by the time he set his feet on the pole lot of grease was removed by others contests.
They are just unlucky.
I was going to say that isn't very fair. Half the pole was removed of grease by the other people. At least reapply grease like every 10 people or don't use as much through out the entire log.
Lol exactly same thing I said
grease was probably reapplied - we just didn't show it on TV as it wouldn't be entertaining
@@guinnessworldrecords Understandable, have a great day !
@@PinksAllAround 😂
So there is Guinness world record for everything.
Yep, and me, im the most stupid human in the world, so proud of it
@@channelmacammacam2407my friend, you do deserve a Guinness world record for that XD
@@commonsense4672 Thank you so much, i appreciate it.
Pretty much
Yep, even for HOLDING THE MOST STRAWS IN MOUTH 👄😒
1:12 first successful guy
2:37 never give up and finally success
3:39 the quickest so far
2:37 la cuccagna
2:07 is the second qualifier.
Thank you
Thanks
You are a gentleman
This was cool and all, but don't tell me there can't be consistent neat layer of grease applied between attempts. This looked like a mess, and some people had a thick layer, while others had a very clear path for half the log. Completely defeating a lot of the runs.
Ikr
Definitely
Thank you! That’s exactly what I was thinking. Waste of time
Yeah because the first guy who succeeded did have as mucb as others
Well ig luck is also a skill
2:37 that was just insanity
love the commitment
@@guinnessworldrecords me too😂
@@guinnessworldrecords same 🤣
I think I would have done the exact same, I don't think I would get through the entire thing without that😂
@@guinnessworldrecords yes
Somebody else won the record but man at 2:37 won the heart ❤️
2:38 if it wasn't about time limit... This man nailed it!
2:51
That guy: *well ik I won't succeed but I'll still go on and wipe off as much as grease I can for my fellow buddies*
GWR team:applies *2x grease* as before
That guy: *BRUH...*
🤣
😂
Feels like it got easier and easier as more grease came off the log.
there was some midway re-greasing
I guess starting people don't know the strategy of walking on that pole, once they got the idea it became easier for the rest of the people
No you can see that "never give up" guy removed lot of grease by his hands ,but in the next attempt of other contestant there was grease , so there was reapplication.
@@guinnessworldrecords We aren't arguing about 'was it reapplied or not', we are talking about some contestants who got lucky and was unfair for some.
@@user-dy6pi1ej6m lucky or not
They repeat to consider record also with each participant was re grease
Not waa cosidererd the first try
0:26 guy protected his nuts at all cost 😂
2:37
True definition of never give up
Yeah... somewhat impressive.
BUT.... What's the SLOWEST time to cross a greased pole??
Aahhhhhhhh
o my 😟
Hm...Maybe v r capable of making tht record 😂
i could easily win that
1:05 , if I die , I am dying in style
Lol 😂
Man um laughing loud 😂😂😂😂
🤣😂
Omg 😂
LMAO 😂😂😂
2:38. That guy falls on his balls but still doesn't gives up. I need that kind of dedication in my life. 😂😂
He helped clean the grease lmao
@@kasumi9015 ya
ahaahha
And he also take out the flag from his mouth
1:40, she's holding her nose like she's falling into water LMAO
And she didn’t even run, she got to the blue stuff stopped and accepted her doom 😂
Lmao😂😂
Aha
thats cute
this part made us laugh tbh
I can't imagine the words exchanged between them at the end: "you deserve it brotha, you crossed that slimy pole faster than me"
2:38 most epic scene 😂
🤭😬😬😬😁😁😁😁
😂😂😂😂💯
2:37 ....This guy won my heart !!💗
Hio
LOL
This looks straight out of Takeshi’s castle !
Man..I remembered watching that as a kid. It was really funny especially the tank fight in the end
Omg I used to watch that with my cousins! I forgot about it for so long-
That's my boi
Yeahh man it's too fun to watch
@@johnrai97 well I watched the last of it 5 years ago 😭
Alternate title: 6 minutes of people falling off a big stick
it was a close second
@@guinnessworldrecords 😲 You guys read my comment...
@@rx9070xt Ok? I didn't say it was
@@rx9070xt I don't intend them to always be funny. Think what you want though, I don't judge
we thought it was funny
The one who fell and did not even step on the greased part of the pole... that would be me if I'm there 😅😆
You might do better than that
The more careful u faster u fall…
If I could describe this video in one word, it would be YEEET
Same
We all have the same mindset don't we
Same
Lmao same
@@lolheads579r depends
2:37 He is the best !!! Sheer determination.
Commitment, lmfao
3:24 she didn’t even touch the grease😅
That balance
Woman moment
That would be me lol
@@jonathan-zo9nh and how does that even correlate with a persons gender?
@@Brooklyn_lin well i didnt see any of the males go out like that, also i didnt see any females manage to get the flag.
Everybody gangsta until they start to grease the pole after every turns..
"The fastest time to cross a greased pole is 3.09 seconds and was achieved by Antonino Papa (Italy) on the set of 'Lo Show dei Record' in Milan, Italy, on 24 Jul 2014."

Thanks. Didn’t know the translation
It was quite difficult for the starting participants,the blue thing was cleaned by the time last participant arrives
@@jackhallett1514 but just a bit harder! Jack.
Wow, takeshi's castle in lockdown
This would be fun..
Seems like 2 things are important: go fast so it's easier to not slip and use your arms flailing up and down to take off some of the weight of the foot that is about to be used to also decrease chance of slipping
1:15 he should thank the players who removed half the Greese
They re applied it
Yea every 10 contestants
They re-applied it dummy
@@user6099 meaningless to use the word dummy. Now your the dummy.
@@user6099 if you look at the pole when it shows it from his view, you see most of the greese is removed.
Balancing on that pole without the grease is hard enough but some made it to the end when it is greased! Unbelievable!
2:37 that was really mind blowing 🤯
😂😂
😁
From what I observe, the best way to cross a greased pole quickly is to run with your feet sideways as it gives you more area for your feet to stabilize
The video should have included the new record! Antonino set new record of 3.09 seconds.
Starting person to finnal win person clean up the pol so that person easy to win.
3:03 That Background Tune, OMG !🔥
The grease is coming off with each person so it's not a fair competition
They reapply the grease
@@Daysbb look closely. They don't
Yes but not after each person @@Daysbb
It doesnt take that much to be slippery as hell, the amount honestly doesnt matter as much.
They didn't reapply for the qualifiers but they did for the finals and the actual record attempts
3:40 and 4:13 - I like his choreography 😆😆
This was such a good laugh😂🤣😂
1:40 She pinched her nose as if she was falling in water 😂
Imagine not wearing a helmet
Cant relate
well the former record holder was unguarded
my opinion the game was unfair for those who had their first attempt because the grease was tottally wiped out already
That was just for qualifiers, they reapplied the grease for the record attempts.
That previous record holder be like: I'll show you guys how it's done and doesn't last 2 meters
I can't believe the first person to cross it had the most chaotic technique of them all
I remember watching "Lo show dei record" when I was a kid, this was my favourite part of the show and this video brought me back memories♡
check out the full playlist for more records from Lo Show dei Record!
@@guinnessworldrecordsthanks!
Imagine runing then sliding to the end of the pole pure greatness and wins 😂
My dad would beat the record for being on the toilet for the longest time without even knowing he was competing
Why you say that
Don't do your old man like that lmao
Yes, the last in line will not have much grease on the log. Makes sense.
They stated that the log was re-greased midway
Just saying : the grease pole, needs to be greased up everytime, so that way there isn't an easy way for people to cross it.
3:26 "5 year old me running towards my mom"
It reminds me of Takeshi's castle
BRIDGE BALL🔥🔥🔥
Dude @ 3:38 was amazing! Loved the way he used his arms to propel him forward!
2:27 When you remember flashback of friendship and family and having Anime power on your back
Nakama power😩💪
1:36 home girl really went and plugged her nose as if she was falling into water lol
01:12 🙄 That's unfair. The pole was less greasy for that contestant. Beacause of the attempts made by previous contestants.
The one who didn't give up is just so inspiring 💪💪💪
I love how serious they look for such a silly sport. 😅
2:56 he paved the way for the rest 🤣🤣🤣(nice grease sweep)
2:17 who else thinks the grease got rubbed off by everyone else and the guy got it easier? Plus wheb he gets to the end he slips, cus the the grease hadn't been rubbed off yet?
No cause he dove for it at the end
Nope the grease was re applied for every contestants
4:08 Christiano Ronaldo? What’s up bro 😎
Guinness World record : set a record.
Me : I want to be the last contestant.
Guinness World record : okay
Me : Now, I have set a world record 🙂
「助走をつけてあえて滑った方がワンチャン行けるんじゃね」と思った瞬間に
それやってる人出てきて笑った😂
The lady who took one step and jumped off is 100% me
Why the girl at 1:36 jump in like if it was water. She plugged her nose when she jumped in 😂
all fun until you fall and the pole hits the no no
🍳🙂
1:42 woman holds her nose as if she's about to plunge into water
2:44 Guy Never Give up
First guy : fastest time to Cross Greased pole 😊😊😊😊
Last rank guy : fastest time to slip Greased pole😁😁😁😁😁😁
For those who are saying that the attempt wasn't valid because the greese was progressively removed:
that is ultimately irrelevant.
That was just the qualification for the actual record attempt (starts at 4:00), during which they greased the pole thoroughly every time.
I think side walk is the strategy to win this competition
2:34 damn.. that must be hard 😂
the Italiano guy did it pretty clean, always has successful attempt
GWR: "Guys we need ideas for records to keep ourselves in business. Any ideas?"
Some smart guy:
A lot of people saying the grease wore away as time went on. This is true but I do believe the grease does NOT need to be in a giant pile to be slippery as hell. At 01:11 we can see the grease is not nearly as thick as it was initially but there's still no way you wouldn't slip just as much, I think. The pole is still completely covered, it's just not piled up. I think maybe it's easier when the grease is piled up.... like the difference between walking on snow or ice. It's easier to walk on snow than ice.
0:09 She had a wardrobe malfunction and the editor decided to replay the slowed down version so nobody misses. 🤦♂️
No it was not
Guinness world of a favourite contestant. They applied the least Grease as possible for him to win.
The grease kept in reducing😂😂
Reminded me of Takeshi's Castle! This video was worth every second!
Did anyone noticed ?
The greace was fully applied on the pole for the first guy......but the amount of grease got reduced after several people walking on it, wich made the last players easier to walk on the pole....
Yep. To make it fair for everyone, they should’ve reapplied the grease in between each contestant.. otherwise, idk how this is fair at all.
@@HalfNHalf. they did
they did re applied the greese
In the original game, only the first person to get the flag wins. So it is a trade off, go earlier and have a harder time, or go later and risk someone else getting it first.
They should add in the grease back every 5 people crossing because it has been reduce every single time
LoL! They should have hugged the guy in the suit t the end!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 😅

1:40 wtf
1:40 "I just came here because they said some guiness thing is going on here and they said I have to compete"
If you watch carefully there was less amount of grease for those who won the contest
3:23 confidence level
Yeah 0:15 slow mo that men of culture
Next Record - Fastest time to clean the grease off their bodies.
2:40
Spiderman but Italian
Loved it, thanks for sharing this video’s, here to be one of your fan
I can’t do this, congratulations to everyone who can do this!
Nice English bruh
who*
I could, I’d just need you guys to take off most of the grease for me 😅
0:42
The guy who thought he'll will slide all the way through
*This ain't no Cartoon bruh...*
The guys who came at last probably didnt felt any grease on the wood. Thats so unfair considering it a guiness world record
They reapplied the grease every 10 contestants i think
@@daduckdatgames_7035 shouldn't they have to apply after every contestant to make it fair considering it is "World record" ?
@@Kiki_Toxics why ask me i dont run gwr
That was just for qualifiers, for the record attempts they reapplied each one.
I didn't see this in my recommended like the rest of you. I specifically looked this up. How bout that.
Worth it
*same type competition is held in kerala(india) too but small difference is the oiled log is n vertical position*
1:05 perfectly on beat!
Name of song?
Only way to keep balance is to have your feet sideways so you can cover as much of the top of the pole as possible. Having your feet straight will just make them grip the side and as a result you’ll slide down.
3:24, it is the funniest of all!!! 😂🤣🤣😆😆
No subtitles for the final announcement? I mean obviously he beat it, but what was the time?
This is now an official olympic sport. 😂
This is tougher than becoming astronauts.
