How Do They Judge This!? New Sports
The video tours bizarre 'new to me' sports—from water jousting to competitive massaging—to laugh at how absurd and unexplained their judging often is, while plugging a charity cricket event.
It exposes how many niche sports have unclear or unregulated scoring, which matters if you ever try to follow, judge, or join one.
Section summaries
The host opens by saying he reviews 'new sports' meaning new to him, not newly invented. He shows water jousting, which he admits is medieval and centuries old but 'new' because he just found it. He calls it slow until suddenly not, and compares it loosely to interspecies eating and giant paddle tennis before concluding it is fun.
- 'New' is defined as newly discovered by the host
- Water jousting is old but framed as a fresh find
Sets the video's ironic definition of 'new sports'
He runs through hybrid sports: tennis baseball for unfocused players, unicycle hockey needing skill, shopping trolley soccer allegedly invented by drunks, professional bog scuba, and competitive snuffing with tobacco up the nose after 'wood plank salon.' He ends the bit wanting to go to the pub, framing these as silly male pastimes.
- Many sports are drunk-car-park-style remixes of existing ones
- Competitive snuffing is presented as a stress outlet for odd jobs
Rapid joke list with no deep point
Chess boxing alternates combat with a chess round where opponents 'strengthen each other's brains.' He then pivots to toe wrestling, naming competitors Twinkle Toes and Bunion Buster, and questions on replay whether green nail polish is regulation. The bit mocks both violence and pettiness of rules.
- Chess boxing pairs brain and brawn rounds
- Toe wrestling raises absurd uniform-regulation questions
Good example of his judging-confusion theme
He marvels at a 'fifth dimensional' nose-grind skateboard trick, then pitches extreme sitting as Tony Hawk's Pro Sitting. Combat lumberjacking is called a great growth sector, and tech bros' robot combat lumberjacking is said to be 'already a thing' that will probably do well, though he doubts it. The segment blends hype with self-correction.
- Extreme sitting merges flips with sitting still
- Robot lumberjacking hype is immediately doubted by host
Entertaining but repeats the remix pattern
The host invites Perth viewers to a November 16 backyard cricket match with pro cricketers for the Pirate Ship Foundation fighting childhood brain cancer. He asks non-locals to donate via Dunk Aussie Man on Shout for Good, targets 20 grand, and says survivor Spencer will dunk him in an icy tank, footage in Destination F'd vol 43. This is the only non-sports-comedy call to action.
- 20k goal for childhood brain cancer research
- Spencer, a survivor, will dunk the host on camera
Contains the real actionable cause in the video
Extreme ironing and shin kicking are credited to the same British inventive culture he finds unimpressive, especially after tomato slingshot dodgeball and three-handed wall tennis. He then highlights Japan's constant activity invention, including hacky sack into pants and competitive apologizing where the real strength is saying sorry, not the flips.
- Extreme ironing traced to British 'preserve this culture' joke
- Competitive apologizing values the apology over athletic flips
Introduces the apology-sport insight and cultural contrast
He asks how competitive massaging is judged—same pain level? vertebrae straightened? gas pops?—and why so many lanyard judges exist, suspecting unregulated chaos. He then argues barrier to entry is high for sperm racing (astronomical tech, sample sourcing) and chili eating (sauce, bowel WD40, toilet paper), but massaging is easy: 'two hands and baby oil.' The segment closes the judging mystery by inviting masseuse comments.
- Massaging lacks clear judging criteria per host
- Sperm racing has impossible startup logistics vs easy massage
Core of the 'how do they judge this' question
He thanks viewers for the foray into contemporary sports and signs off with a joke that there are many new ways to gamble online and lose money, undercutting the whole tour as absurd consumerism. Music ends the video.
- Closes by comparing new sports to online gambling loss
Short sign-off with no new information
Key points
- New means new to the host — The host defines 'new sports' as anything he recently discovered, including centuries-old water jousting, not genuinely invented disciplines.
- Many new sports are remixes — Sports like tennis baseball, unicycle hockey, and shopping trolley soccer combine familiar games with absurd twists or equipment.
- Judging is often a mystery — For competitive massaging the host questions how pain levels, vertebrae straightening, or judge counts are standardized, and asks viewers to explain.
- Barrier to entry varies wildly — Sperm racing needs astronomical tech and sample logistics, while competitive massaging needs only 'two hands and baby oil.'
“This is fifth dimensional skateboarding. X times Y times Z times time itself.” — Host
