Kebabs. Darts. Vapes. In that order.
P.S. - Whoever is doing the voiceover on this video is a complete idiot! They don't even know how to pronounce words smh 😤
Grand Pricks 😂
Grand pricks (prix) is a bad one 😂
grand pricks
grand pri cks
Yeah, totally agree! Got a lot of facts wrong too! Grand priks 😂😂
Just think most parents have to stand on the side of a wet muddy pitch in the cold for their kids sports hobby….. Luke’s dad just had to go to the pub
I'm assuming he went the pub with his boy was what got luke into darts and not the other way round lol
I'm a bowler 😂 that works too
Its England man come on@@Darthvvill
As someone who has been a darts fan for years, I have never seen anything like Littler or the attention he has given the game ever!
Also the name pronunciations are hilarious 😂
haha yeah If you watch the channel you'll know that's a weak point of mine 😂
@@phatmemer69Yeah I’ve been watching about 6 months mate 😂
It is absolutely insane and I am totally loving it. I've been a HUGE darts fan for years, but this past month has taken everything to a whole new level thanks to Luke THE NUKE Littler. This young man has got the darts world in a complete uproar and rightly so. With his second place finish in the World Championships, his 9 darter and win in the Bahrain Masters it has left us all continuing to ask is there anything this young man can't do. My answer is nothing because he IS capable of doing anything which he has proven over the past few weeks. It's a fairytale story that is REAL and Luke is writing it for us all to see with his brilliant talent. Well well well done young man!!! ☢☢☢
My father said the Eric Bristow impact was huge as he entered his first world championship at 20 and had won his first world championship at 22. Not exactly 16 but the average age of darts players was much older back then.
16 year old with a full beard and receding hairline opening presents, chef’s kiss 🤌🏼
ikr, i cant believe he's 16 💀
Yeah I’m not buying it. The facial hair is fine the hairline isn’t. Unless he’s taking steriods which it doesn’t look like.
@@JJ-zr6fusome people have this "desease" that causes them to go bald at a young age. Friend of mine was almost bald when he was about 15.
@@TheLA384 It's not a disease wtf
@@rawr4799 Sorry, didn't know what else to call it, English is not my native language. I believe it was something where the hair follicles die off or something like that. I believe it's a form of alopecia.
"Luke won the UK Grand Pricks" 😆
ha came here just to say the same. I pronounced that wrong when I was like 11 and never lived it down.
I always will pronounce it Pricks.
came here for that
@@sjp3568 I remember telling my dad I won the Grand Pricks on Mario Kart when I was like 10 and he just laughed and corrected me lol
i literally Googled "do brits pronounce grand prix, gran pricks?" haha
FUN FACT: Luke drove his parents back home from the hospital the day after being born
He already had a beard and could hit a 180
This is surprisingly wholesome. Parents saw he was good at something and just let him crack on, can't fault the guy.
Aight +1 there
Littler is the reason I now watch darts, bought a board, and now play. He’s a superstar
You and every other 14 year old
@@Bbb-lv6fs You sound very jealous
@@lukesimpson3080 does he sound jealous or has he just called you out for being a bandwagoner
@@Joe-uv9jois the game not allowed to expand? Why are you trying to gate-keep a pub game?
@@jackmaguire3126 Another bandwagon merchant, do what you want and I'll do what I want.
Shows what having supportive parents can do for you
Yep he’s an absolute darts machine
Poor you
Facts man. And now he's changed their lives. They deserve it.
I spat my beer out laughing about socks.
😂😂😅 I thought he said that ha ha , so I wasn't hearing things 😂😂.
Luke has made me get my darts bored out the loft it’s been up there for 14 years I’ve played every day since and loving it
Board*
Dart*
DEAR O DEAR.
Grand Prix isn’t pronounced like that. 😂
I made that mistake at 7 and had the whole house laughing at me.
A was callin him 'double 16'😂..aw the best tae the guy..
14 with that beard is crazy
I got a lot of respect for this kid! So young really good at his profession and a stand up man who doesn't let a media storm faze his relationship in the slightest, keep doing your thing big fella
He is a real strong contender for the future...imo he is the new Phil Taylor!
@@MrWhatyousee he isnt yet obviously, but i can definitely see that in the future
"You look about 30"
17, your 17
There's looking older and then there's THAT!
Thanks for the new video Phat Memer! I always enjoy listening to your voice as it's so soothing! :D
Legend! Always appreciate you watching :)
Been watching darts for at least 15 years and ive never seen someone with the skill of luke litler at a young age
Young men with beer bellies was a violation
Amazing video mate!
Can you do a video on the rise and fall of Soccer AM- a real staple of Saturday football at one point. Plus quite controversial with some aspects not aging well
Soccer AM has been garbage for 20 years.
This is about darts kt fucking football.... knob
He’s only gone and done it
Never really understood or was interested in darts until it was played at my work which was the semi finals of the world championship and I’ve never been so invested in a sport so much since then!
Excellent video. Thanks so much 👍
Very well presented video!!! This lad is nothing short of a Darts genius, absolutely love watching him play, no fear whatsoever of anyone!! Long may it continue. 'Wanking into a sock!!' Lol!! Takes me back!!!
Pretty cool to see some of the older guys being in his corner.
Recently found your channel but literally watched all your videos across two weeks 😂 the way you narrate things and the way you edit it all together is reall impressive I have even watched videos on topics that no interest in haha, if you ever see this comment just wanted to say thanks for giving me great content which I have enjoyed keep it up 👍these videos clearly take a long time to research and edit but it would be cool to have some quicker uploads
Really appreciate you watching! Weekly videos are coming :)
I’m from Warrington, same place as Luke. Since he came about I swear the whole of Warrington is now a darts fan
You may think he looks old, but British lads are just built like that. He's on his way to become Barry, 63
Not even close to being true
No they are really not
What are you doing outside of Reddit??
It's true ahha most of my friends had beards at 14 😭
proud to say i followed littler when had around 2-3k followers
Never seen anything like the rise of Littler in darts, fairplay to him captivating new fans. He’s the McGregor of the darts world
A agree with every word you say...but "The rise of Littler" sounds a bit like 1935...dont you agree?
I have nothing against Luke...dont get me wrong...I think he is the new Phil Taylor and he is going to be the best out there
8:12 Breaking down someones dart equipment almost sounds like Olivander talking about wands
Probably because they also included unnecessary information. Every player above hobby player level uses 90% tungsten darts. No need to say that 😅
Aspinall wasnt the first debutant to reach the 1/4 final since 2009.. Rob Cross did that in 2018 when won the title on debut.
Aspinall didn't even play in the PDC until 2012!
really great video enjoyed the whole thing, I had to laugh when you said Andrew Guideing haha
5:40 Kristin Curse and Andrew Guiden? Phat Memer is definitely a darts afficionado, judging by those pronunciations! 🤣
I reckon the voice over is AI generated. Although "Grand Pricks" is hilarious
@@dmriley40 It's interesting that you say that and it triggers a thought within me. There are many channels nowadays with voices that use weird intonation for example that sound very unnatural, but still human and not robotic. Of course, some people will do this on purpose to be distinct, but I should not rule out that it's AI generated these days, because you input your voice and it gives a mimic of that input back. If you use a weird input on purpose, than the output will also sound more than the usual slightly off.
Pronunciations.
@@PweckoWoops, you're right Pwecko! Thanks for the heads up.
Top lad. Hes got me Bandwagoning darts!
He wasn’t the first debutant to reach the semis since Aspinall, Rob Cross did it in 2018
Exactly. And Aspinall didn't do it in 2009 either. Makes me think that some of this stuff said is bullshit if he can't get his basic facts straight.
He called it a " grand pricks " definitely got his script off chat GPT
lol just sitting here, vaping, playing darts all day and thought today about getting a kebap.. now i saw this thumbnail 😂😂😂🎉
quality video mate
Mom & Dad are true supporters! Not all enabling is bad!
Hats of to dad for a fantastic bit of advice
It all started off so seriously that I was completely blindsided by the 'wanking into socks' joke. It made me laugh out loud.
Also, Raymond Vlan Blarneyveld? 😂😂😂
This guy will be/already is the Ronnie O´Sullivan of darts.
You mean...the new Phil Taylor?
If Luke was 21 and his bird was 16 he’d be throwing toothpicks at a concrete wall in a jail cell, but it’s completely fine the other way round, someone explain, the worlds gone mad🤷♂️
Not in the uk if they got together after her sixteenth.
New sub for the socks comment alone 😂
GO LUKE LITTLER ! FUTURE LEGEND OF DARTS FOR SURE ! GOODLUCK 👊🏴
Scoring big as a kid, Luke starting throwing hedgehogs 🦔 at three weeks old 😂😂😂
I’ve kept my eye on Luke for 2-3 years now , I remember watching him few years ago averaging over 100 and hitting a 9 darter in process AT THE AGE OF 13 😂 … I said the Luke littler era would be here 1 day , just didn’t expect it to be so fast 💪🎯
makes sense he is called The Nuke
very similar to one of the most famous nukes, Little(r)boy
I've met Luke as I live in Warrington and he's a nice guy tbh
OG Anderson hit the nail on the head. Let the kid play darts
I've played enough darts at the Legion to know just how bad I am at it. These guys are incredible.
As a guy who's lived in both Runcorn and Warrington I can tell you he pretty much looks like any 16 year old around here, just gutted every local landlord knows he's underage.
They prolly don't care tho lol
@@ankledsquid prolly?
Rob Cross won the WDC on his debut.
few weeks later he won his first Euro and MVG has a crisis, GOTTA LOVE DARTS
I have loved darts for years, I have never seen anything like Littler or the attention he has given the game ever!!
Bot
Always gets me when people pronounce the the X in grand prix, comon dude
Prix? Really? 😂
4:30 I splurted juice all over my keyboard.
Let me guess...about the sock?
@@MrWhatyousee if he'd used the sock, no juice on his keyboard.
There should be a pub olympics, darts, snooker, pool, drink carrying etc.
Not that I have a problem with Luke but imagine if it was discovered that a 21 year old man was in a relationship with a 16 year old girl. The man would be crucified in public and thrown in jail. Equality, ay?
And theyd been together a couple years.
Yeah, I really feel for young guys who hit puberty hard and look "grown up" already in their mid teens because I think people find it too easy to disregard the idea that they could be being exploited.
That's not how the law works mate. But you're right otherwise.
@@Swarm_ Not how what law works? I didn’t state any law
Absolute nonce behavior
Luke was born as a healthy 15 year old
5:00 Crazy. I've never had an opponent named 501.
was that cal the dragon at 4:19 hahaha
the boy was a born darts player with that build and hairline
Nice lad, lives in the next town to me.
Small brag, I share a birthday with this man, literally down to the hours (timezones booooo!)
I think I'm right in saying that Littler was a dart away from making it 5-2. He also had 3 darts to save the game after Humphries missed 3 match darts in the final set. That chance to make it 5-2 in sets and missing it and it going 4-3 instead. Humphries then won 5 sets in a row.
All hail Luke the Nuke!
I had to laugh at the Grand Pricks reference like others, but it's a good video.
The greatest..
I wonder if his pops is THE taxi driver 👀😂😂 legend
the subject matter was great but you had me rolling all the way through hahaha
Just one correction. It wasn’t Nathan Aspinall in 2009 who was the last debutant to reach the semi finals, it was Rob Cross in 2018 who won it all in Phil Taylor’s last game of televised darts.
It was 2018 that rob cross won against Taylor
@@charliewoolley6739 That’s what I actually meant to type lol I even checked the year before making the comment 😂 I’m daft.
Still doesn’t change the fact that Aspinall wasn’t the last debutant to reach the semis
@@lordfarquard9902 yeah
@@charliewoolley6739 Just edited it mate nice one 👍🏻
@@lordfarquard9902 no problem mate
The Fact This Kid is 3 Years Younger Than Me And Has Done More With His Life Than Me Props To Him
Props?
Good luck to the kid.
A few bits of wrong information but good video
He’s got a good head on his shoulders. Hope he goes well.
There's absolutely no way he's 16. I refuse to believe it
Who remembers stars in their eyes?
And tonight Cilla imma be a 16 year old
4:34😂😂😂
Hope he can keep away from the media and just concentrate on the darts. Gary Anderson is spot on.
Gary Anderson was incorrect and Littler has reached 3 finals from 3 since those comments. He doesn't look at all concerned by the pressure.
34 year old Michael Van Gerwen: I was slightly better than him at that age (16/17).
Also Michael Van Gerwen: Gets beat by him a few months later despite Gerwen having 20 years experience, MVG still being considered in his prime.
Great Clip
How many World Titles?
Taylor won his first at 29. His last at 52
When Luke wins his first records will be smashed
It’s the hairline that does it. Legend
these magnificent athletes lol
The thing about these videos nobody gives any credit to Luke’s Nan and grandad ( Phil & Carol) as they was the ones who looked after him everyday when he was younger and the dart boards were in there house not his parents house
Michael van gerwen🔥🔥
4:04 for anyone claiming darts players are not athletes.
What's the song that's being played in the intro?
00:38 Does anyone know what this song is called?
Anyone knows what is the music from intro called? Thanks in advance
the meeting eachother on fifa is wrong btw
Name og song @0:48 it’s stuck in my brain and i can’t get it out
How his girlfriend made the bigger headlines
His type of throw could lead to elbow problems down the line. Let's hope not - the world needs him right now.....
Would anyone be so kind to tell me the name of the song starting at 0:40 ? Can't for the life of me find it
Chase the sun :)
Criticising the relationship between a 21 year old and a 16 year old as being inappropriate is one of the more reasonable things for the media to call out.
what's the name of the song in the intro?
Prix is pronounced pree....
It is disgusting someone of his age is with that 21 year old female. He should be married with kids at his age not preying on young girls. midlife crisis i guess...
