All right, then, it’s just me I’m completely overruled. I couldn’t stand the guy, he sounded like a little girl the whole time. I was hoping someone else could take his place, or they could do a voiceover or something. Like the cyber truck, I guess I’m not built for this video either.
Why can't we have this race here? This is the funniest thing I've seen in ages. The commentator is hilarious...he's got to be the same guy who hosts Inside the Factory
There used to be a lot of soapbox racing in the US. No one really does it anymore because kiddos have their iPhones & PS5s. Towns don't want to close down entire city blocks for race courses, etc. But mainly not for the same reason the UK has a better cycling scene, soapbox scene, etc... people in the US are lazy couch potatoes and would rather finish off a second bag of Ruffles watching telly than go outside and do something active.
I love how the Badaboom Beast driver decides to focus on waving to the crowd instead of actually steering and then mows one of his own team down who's running down the middle of the track.
Ok, not gonna lie - I didn’t have much planned for my Friday night, then YT blesses me with this hysterical gem. I needed to pee myself a little. Good job lads and lassies!
@@kingconcerto5860 Idk if soap boxes are really from anywhere. Kids used to make their own go karts to push down hill back in ye oldie times. Be like a nation claiming sledging.
It seems a lot of people think there’s some advantage to having different sized wheels…if you put them in the front it’s just gonna make your steering setup more responsive (likely too much) and if you put on the back wheels you basically just loose out on ground clearance that you could otherwise try and capitalize on.
The commentator is a riot. I could never narrate this, I would be crying laughing. God bless the English, funny,silly people. The Duckies were hysterical.
They do have them in America. Red Bull tour the world holding the events in different countries. I certainly remember the Iowa one and I'm pretty sure there have been more. Perhaps the problem is with the sheer size of the U.S, they go largely unnoticed if not held in your own state?
@@donaldgrant9067 Would you travel thousands of miles to attend one on the other side of the country? Nobody outside of the cities they are held in are likely to even be aware. Every country's events are televised here in the UK. I'm not in London and I've NEVER been aware of when it takes place.
@@mehallica666 I might travel hundreds of miles to attend one if I could put a cart into the race. Maybe have more races across America, as you said America is a big place.
@@donaldgrant9067 They do (or at least did) one a year, in different cities. They have other countries to visit. America may be a big place, but the world is bigger. My local council here in England have started organising their own. They're no Red Bull, but perhaps U.S communities can do the same?
@@Keepmelevel "British humor" is a term used to describe a very specific type of comedy. When people say "British humor", they're usually referring to things like Mitchell & Webb, Bill Bailey, Monty Python, etc. Soapbox derbys are held all over the world, and a visually amusing soapbox racer in no way equates to "British humor" just because the race is being held in England. There is nothing inherently "British" about the "humor" in the designs of these soapbox racers. It is an idiotic thought process that would lead one to conclude "funny looking soapbox car in an English soapbox race = British humor". BTW, there is no "humor" to extrapolate in the first place. Racers try to create striking, memorable, and amusing vehicles for soapbox races- the reaction to these designs would be the same regardless of where the race is held, from Dallas to London to Paris to fucking Budapest. Again, it has absolutely nothing to do with "British humor".
@@kingconcerto5860 thanks for the history lesson! I’m well aware. What I was referring to was the commentary. Also, it takes quite a bit of creativity which I find humorous in the British dialogue for whichI’m complementing. 🤦🏻♂️ stay off the internet it’s not for you captain obvious!
@@Keepmelevel Nah I'm happy to stay on the internet to continue to enjoy videos like this. At no point during this exchange was the commentary mentioned until now either. Typical internet hostility for no reason whatsoever.
How did I never hear of this before? I've known about the wacky flying machines they've been doing for so many years, but this is new to me. I absolutely love the "Two Peas in Cod"...at first glance, I thought it was a frog, but I'm a sucker for puns.
OMG I never laughed that hard while being alone... My neighbours must think I became insane xD hahaha .... But well, I think the last one quite hurts. Great show, THANK YOU!!! Stay healthy out there :)
It's amazing to see how lenient are our courts. Never in a million years would I think that someone could commit a crime with a possible life sentence, get off with probation, violate the probation hy commiting a DUI, come back to court, and still get zero jail time.
This is so great! I have to wonder how much thought it put in to structural integrity. Using 10 speed bike wheels seems like an automatic no to me if there are jumps involved. Rookie and ducky only rhyme if you’re British😉👍🏻
I don't know why this video came up, but I enjoyed every crash! 😁 I'm in south Florida U.S.A. and I've never seen anything like this before. Well except back in the late 80's & early 90's there used to be a bed race in Miami. 👍
When I become King of Earth, I shall have all human conflicts resolved by Soap Box competitions!
And there must be a requirement of no brakes and only kite string as the steering mechanism on the soapbox vehicles. 😆

I love how much the commentator is enjoying this

He is Red Bulls paid commentator. If it's soapbox in English, it's this guy.
It's Fletch he's brilliant

just one word why not
LAWYERS
but TV taught me all american kids do this
(must be US since who else says "here" without context) :D
I thought there were some runs done in the US, it is a worldwide circuit like one in Iowa in 2022

To enjoy a good laugh brotha
Did you suffer a head injury?
The verbiage used is great for future use 👍
I'm an English Brit. To me, winning is for losers; what matters is to fail with style!😁
Well, you Brits have been failing for centuries, so you should be pretty happy.
Is "English Brit" a type of oxymoron? Er... Sorry, a bit redundant?

The English People will do most anything for a thrill. This Soap Derby is a trip. I love it.
Soap box originated in the USA.
@@kingconcerto5860
I knew that. The English take it to another level

When I came here, I didn't know what soapbox racing was. After leaving here, I will never be the same again.
Definitely the VW bus.
I’ve watched exactly 1:25 of this sport and I have determined that the purpose is not to win, but to be ridiculous and as funny as possible.
Looks like our friends across the pond have more fun with soapbox derby's than we do. Good on ya!
Too much saftey compared with the local scout one. They race them down 6 at a time.
Having a bit of a rough morning but this is turning my day around! Thanks for the laughs😂
These are HILARIOUS!! I haven't seen soapbox since the 60's. Glad I found this!
When I hear soapbox I think of the generic design of the past, not anymore, these are brilliant.
lol we have it monthly events in netherlands
These soap box are my new favorite videos.
No they're not.
Have you seen Barbie Car racing?? It's bloody goofy!!🤭🤪
I don’t know how I stumbled across this but I’m so glad I did. Such a rough day.
THIS should be an Olympic event!
7:52 he’s been on two wheels and one wheel more than he’s been on four 😂😂😂😂
The commentator is certainly helping for the ambiance. He's awesome.
No hes not !
Two peas in a cod😅😅😅😅
The grim sweaper 😂😂
Everything's on a cod
cod peas
Gawd! Rarely do I laugh and clap whilst watching RUclips!!! This is absolutely brilliant!
The single greatest video to start off a Monday morning. Thank you

In Britain, our serious sports have become a joke and our joke sports are viewed with pride and admiration.
Absolutely brilliant! So funny to watch ! My favourite was the bubble tea kept loosing control 🤣
Haha the Shark had a 2nd person 😂😂 3:00

Why do they always make the steering wheel turn roughly 5° lock to lock? They are all impossible to steer 😄
Very true but don't tell people that😊.
That was the best laugh I’ve had in ages. Great job!!!

Brilliant - thanks for making my day a little better ! 😁
My pleasure 😊
