Jason and 'The Guy' getting you prepped for the Super Bowl 🥴🏈😬 #theguywhodecides #NFL #superbowl #shutupjason #jasonjasonjason Merch 👉👉 linktr.ee/jimmyrees
I've been waiting for someone to properly point out all the hilarious absurdity in this sport, I really don't think it could have been done any better. Absolutely hilarious. Side note, my kids named their new bunny rabbit........Jason, Jason, Jason 🤣
@@sunisbest1234 what's worst is that I'm not allowed to shorten it.... you end up trying to say it in character but its really hard to do well- the mix of utter contempt and superiority is really tricky to pull off anywhere near as good as Jimmy does😔
@@gorillaau well it's actually only one but after practising the voice with red wine in the glass it becomes many....lots of practice required- obviously 😳
If we can't call it football then the next best name is handball............ but it's taken. Also, when you mentioned beers I was expecting the Territorians to make a cameo appearance. 😁
I'm a Geelong girl, moved to the US because I had the audacity to marry an american. I have tried so hard to understand NFL (zero progress made on that), and the whole crazy hype around Superbowl. Hubby, to his credit doesn't go mad over the Superbowl so there's no Superbowl party like almost everyone else. Just watch this with him and he said it's the most accurate description of Superbowl he's seen. You get a US tick of approval on this one, Jimmy! He asked who you are so we're about to go on an adventure he's probably never going to forgive me for, but he asked, so.... Giggle and Hoot time! (It's nearly 10pm. He's going to hate me)
@@JamesDavy2009 I've told him about the field size difference and had to convert to stupid for him to realise how much running our players do. He's trying to metric because he sees how it makes perfect sense but the conversion is messing him up a bit... He's trying though. But yeah, when he realised the difference, he said our footballers are "top tier elite athletes that shit all over the over-glorified NFL players". For shits and giggles I also showed him cricket. He hates it as much as I do, but concedes that Aussie sportspersons are absolute champs and compared to what US sportspersons are paid, ours comparatively earn peanuts.
As an Australian in an ARL state (as opposed to the aerial ping pong they call football in the southern states) American football has always struck me as like Australian football, but with shoulder pads, forward passes, olden times units of measurement and a lot of standing around. But at least the scoring is more like Australian football… that round-ball game the British play has pretty underwhelming scores in the end…
I timed the plays in a game once and I don't remember any of them reaching 3 seconds duration. It could be possible though if you include the flight time of a long pass.@@TheJosh1337

It gets even worse when he plays the part of every State Premier and Prime Minister, not to mention other characters and the virus or weather event. I don't know how he can keep up with all of the changes in the script, but somehow he does and it has been a masterful display of single person, single camera, minimal editing, entertainment that has ever been produced. It will be studied in film and television classes for years to come. Mark from Melbourne Australia
I went looking for the reason it was called football when the ball is hardly ever kicked. The current ruling is that the ball be 11 to 11 1/4" in length along the axis. I found a reference that indicated the ball was originally "about 12 inches (1 foot)". The suggestion being that the game played with a one foot long ball, was called "foot ball" in reference to the ball and not the pedal appendage.
@@troyhartley9681 It appears that the etymology of the word football is unclear, although the definition given by you is one of the suggested origins. However, in 1363, King Edward III of England issued a proclamation banning "...handball, football, or hockey; coursing and cock-fighting, or other such idle games" (Wikipedia article 'Football (word)'). The suggestion being that in the 14th century there was a distinction between football and other field sports played on foot.
@@ElizabethJones-pv3sj The fastest! 🤣 And there’s usually some times when they’re deciding calls or at the quarters…where they switch offense and defense. And to be serious…not everyone is actually “invested” in the game THAT much…just the people whose teams are in it! Well…& people who have a bet on it! 😂
There's also a player position called the "tight end" but it has nothing to do with how tight his pants are. (My first girlfriend thought that was where the name came from. I didn't have the heart to tell her otherwise. Fortunately her mom told her.)
I found this to be very funny yet accurate as an American who isn’t a sports fanatic. The commercials really are entertaining instead of the usual medication advertisements ,or old ones that have been repeated way to many times.
Water Departments have noted the pulse effect on the water supply and the sewerage system from lots of people flushing the toilet at the same time during Half-time. I imagine that it would place quite a strain on the whole system and could lead to breakdowns.
I worked with a teacher some years ago.....every year , without fail, he would be "sick" on the day of the Superbowl. And, miraculously, be perfectly well , the following day ! Thanks for reminding me 🧡
I have tried to watch Super Bowl one year. Fell asleep after a few minutes, woke up just before Half Time Show (might have been The Who) then nodded off again a few minutes after the game resumed. Woke up again well after the game had ended.
13 min musical at half time. Kick is called a punt, when they give the opposition the ball. When a team breaks a rule of the game. Ref's throw yellow flags on the field. But you can call it as - Ref's are throwing laundry on the field. 🏈
It's hell of a lot easier to understand than cricket! A game that takes more than one day to play and moves at a snail's pace? No thanks. Baseball and golf are slow enough for me.
Every single time I think of american football from now until death I will be thinking of this. I cant wait until I meet some americans and have a chat about their favorite sport. THANK YOU SOOOOO MUCH!!!
If Rees pairs up with someone and does this (or similar) rapid fire conversation, would you see him be the straight line or the punchline? :) Gosh. I just imagined after-the-storm times
Well at least we know what you will be watching tomorrow on valentines day Jimmy, are you still in quarantine , hope you and your wife have a nice day tomorrow.
Men in tight tights? Well, if the musical is anything like the film "Robin Hood, Men in Tights", I might be up for that part. I'll skip the throw ball parts though.
As an American, this is the best explanation of America football I've ever heard.
My husband used to play American Football and I remember asking all these questions as well. Perfect explanation for everyone who's not American! 😂
It’s a pretty good explanation for us here in ‘Merica too😂
I love that about Americans.. "world champions" in sports they only have teams in that competition 😂
Because there is nothing outside Murica.
Yes, for them, the world starts and finishes at their borders.
@@paulsheedy4650 not such a bad world when compared to Australia the last couple years 😂
The baseball World Series comes to my mind.
@@JamesDavy2009 World Series has nothing to do with actually referring to bring best in the world. It’s named after the newspaper that sponsored it.

👋“Hello” from Geelong!
As an American, I think this is the most coherent explanation of football I've ever heard! 😂
Play for 3 seconds. Stop for 30 seconds. Repeat.
Soccer= FIFA. Therefore Americans and Australians have been using the name "Football" the wrong, wrong way.

With players throwing the ball, so call it football.
How can I watch the same guy playing 2 different characters, yet my brain separates them as 2 different actors. I'm losing it!

Wow - thanks for the Very Interesting Fact!
I once read that 'football' describes any sport played on a field, only with a ball, not on horseback.

As a football (soccer) fan, the point who could use their feet made me laugh the hardest. The fact it's completely opposite is hilarious.
That’s because historically, Football refers to a sport played on foot rather on on a horse. So soccer isn’t the only Football.
@@OziJo1 a man after my own heart.

As an American (who lives in Aus) I LOVED THIS!!! Spot on!

Aren't you supposed to watch it with your family and/or friends, how do you decide who gets to go in this break?

Thanks to this.
I now dub Gridiron as Throw Ball! 🏈🤣
Beers! Beers! Beers! Oh wait, wrong vid......
Everything I’ve ever thought about why American football is stupid condensed into 3 minutes! Great job Jimmy!
I think we need to do a gofundme so that we can pay to have this during the half time ads lol
I now have an understanding of American football. Helmets & tight tights 😅
There's also a player position called the "tight end" but it has nothing to do with how tight his pants are.

Yes!! Finally someone explaining the difference between football and throwball!!

Omygosh ~ if you don't laugh till you hurt, You gotta Be Dead.
I Can't Love and Laugh this More 🥰🤣
You are The BEST Medicine Ever👍👍
Cant wait to see the next usa only throwball championships!!!
Yep, that sums it up perfectly.
Jimmy Rees would definitely be at the halftime show if I had anything to say on the matter. In tights!
Jason, Jason, Jason.....love it, love it, love it!!! 🤣🤣🤣
Absolutely hilarious, and true!!
The giggle, the giggle always get me 🤣
I love how you said “chips” and not “fries” which would be how americans say it but your aussie so you say chips haha
He's talking about potato chips/tortilla chips or 'crisps' for our UK friends which is a staple at Super Bowl parties 🥳
We Aussies use chips for both, fries are hot chips, and chips are the potato/corn chips!
Love the focus on when people can, or can’t go to the toilet 🤣 “musical with everyone in tights” 😂

Hmmmmm, there's a rap in that *Lin Manuel Miranda has entered the chat*
When he puts it like that it seems stupid! 😂
"Jason, Jason, Jason! People drink beer!"
Maybe the guy who decides could have a look at high school uniforms for girls and boys, and junior and senior school.
"Throwball" 🤣
So much Lycra in sports these days…….😂😂😂
I see that play button in the back this was really funny 😁 good job
IWrocker (one of my fave RUclipsrs) has already done a reaction video on this.....
Hilarious
As an American, you're not wrong...
Surely Nascar deserves the same treatment from Jason and "The Guy".
You make it sound far more interesting than it is.
Spits drink...."Jason, Jason, Jason!" "Are you an idiot?!"
Best explanation ever
"Shouldn't it be called Throw Ball" hahaha yes!
Hilarious as always Jimmy
lol, you should do one where Jason get some much deserved revenge 🤣🤣
WOW jimmy knows more about the game than most Australians I will never get it...
Absolutely Fantastic! Hahaha
That sounds like football in Australia, minus the helmets, armour and tights.
I don't understand American football either.
It's hell of a lot easier to understand than cricket! A game that takes more than one day to play and moves at a snail's pace? No thanks. Baseball and golf are slow enough for me.
@@phydeux You might enjoy T20 cricket. It's a shortened version of the game and action packed. I'll stick to test cricket 🏏.
and some of these men will get dementia, but we don't talk about that..
if only we valued nurses as much as 'football' players.
Jason, Jason, Jason...
You managed to get a play button from this content, you must be doing something right
Now I understand! 🤪 🏈 🤪
Jason Jason Jason lol
Is there kicking not really so what is it called Football is there kicking Yes but also No😂. Classic Jimmy
Happy Valentines Day Jason ❤
Forgot to mention that it also takes three hours to play a one hour game.
Absolutely brilliant!

Can’t wait to see the musical 😂
NO JASON! But yes.
My son used to play that! Hilarious, Jimmy! 😂
Classic. 😂
Poor Jason.........
Jason is neat
Edit: I wonder how Jason handles all the abuse 🥴
Good points
Had a teacher in Melbourne who used to play grid iron.

I funnily enough have a wee bit more of an understanding of this weird game . . .. it still makes no sense!
See you at the The Sporting Globe Richmond tomozza Jimmy!!!! 🤣👍🍻
Jimmy Jimmy Jimmy ❤❤❤
Something for the Americans 😆
Jason Jason Jason! Poor Jason.
I think that the person who decides must be a territorian w their beers
Please do one on netball
Make them wear more padding then mattress factory.

funny
Hand-egg is a great sport.
Well at least we know what you will be watching tomorrow on valentines day Jimmy, are you still in quarantine , hope you and your wife have a nice day tomorrow.
Wait until Jason finds out about the Puppy Bowl
Haha so many good points!! Why do they call it football and why are they "world champions" when its only american teams???.........😏
Go Bengals, WHO DEY?
Australia calls it gridion
I have never watched American Football and I don't think I will.
DANG IT
I can’t lie, only interested in the ads and the halftime performance…
Perfect explanation of the game, and whyI also have thought its a stupid game as well.
Men in tight tights?
Well, if the musical is anything like the film "Robin Hood, Men in Tights", I might be up for that part. I'll skip the throw ball parts though.
You go to the toilet during the game because there are so many breaks in play that nothing really happens...
Only teams from Aaaaamerica .... and the winners will be .... WOOORLD CHAAAAMPIONS!
Lol
