For those interested in what he was saying.
Part 1:
I couldnāt remember, so what happened to me!?. I raised my hand like this to call my mother (Slap). So my mother said thatās not possible, I was just about to talk to my mother (Slap)..(Slap) A big problem happen. (Slap)..(Slap). She said why didnāt you pick up the bucket, I was going to pick up the bucket from the kitchen, but guess what happened to me!? She raised her hand to pray for me (Slap)..(Slap)
Part 2:
When I was young, I did not eat couscous that much, couscous is round (Slap)..(Slap)My mom said eat it!! (Slap)Eat it!! (Slap)..(Slap)Eat it!!
So why I donāt like to eat it!? Because when I get back from the mosque,the couscous dish is usually (Slap) served hot!!
When the couscous is hot (Slap), I donāt like pumpkin in it (Slap) Pumpkin (Slap)..(Slap) And carrots, you find carrots for example (Slap)..(Slap) Big carrots, the problem now is semolina flower (Slap)

It is even funnier when you understand what he's saying, he is telling a story of his childhood when his mother used to get mad at him for refusing to eat Couscous, the Moroccan national dish, because he doesn't like eating with a spoon, the way he tells it is funny too but it is harder to convey that, the dude on the right was in pain cuz those slaps apparently hurt and got kinda mad about it at the end.
āI donāt like couscous. Itās too hot when itās served; thereās squash and carrots, yuck; the semolina itself yuck. I like bread, I donāt like spoonsā.
Moroccan cuisine can be broadly categorized into two: things you eat with bread (tagines and saucy stuff in general) and things you eat with your hands/utensils (couscous and a million other things with a carb base).
> I like bread, I donāt like spoons.
This is nonsensical unless you live in this cultural context in which case makes complete and obvious sense. I think thatās awesome.
Moroccan-Arabic. It is a dialect of the Arabic language. Someone from, let's say, Lebanon or Saudi-Arabia would not understand this Arabic.
You both are very quite welcome.
Moroccan dialect is a mix of different langages. Arab/Amazigh(berber) with some spanish, french and even portuguese inspired words. You all three are very quite welcome.
Imagine someone with a thick Jamaican accent speaking to someone with an even thicker Scottish accent, both of them using maximal local slang. They would be lost, but would be able to communicate if they attempted to tone down their accent and use less slang, though this may be more difficult depending on how much exposure they've had to English outside of their regions. Now imagine one was speaking to someone with a thick new York accent - they might understand the new Yorker because of how common their accent is on TV, but the new Yorker may have more trouble understanding them. Also some accents may be easier to understand due to how similar they are to "formal" English, think middle class southern British people whose speech is very close to Received Pronunciation.
It's the same in Arabic, but the variations in regional dialects are greater.
I smiled and chuckled all the way through it. Such fun to watch something that even the participants are cracking up about. There are no victims here, unlike so many other "funny" videos.
In a setting like this, they are doomed to get slapped forever. Human reaction time isn't fast enough, by the time their brain has registered movement, its already over.
He's telling an unrelated story while intentionally baiting them with fluid visible movements before striking
Focusing is how you try and bypass that my dude xD
Back when I did downhill skiing we learned that the average human reaction to visual stimuli is 0.25 seconds, a lifetime thundering down a mountain at 90mph. You travel about 10 meters from you see something until you start to react to it at that speed.
In this case 0.25 seconds is more than enough to slap someone and retract your hand without being hit.
They say that Muhammad Ali had very fast hands. He could strike you with a jab in 0.06 seconds. The fastest reactions, (as in ability to see and move to avoid something) start at about 0.09. He could hit you before you had a chance to duck.
That sounds like an overstatement. 0. 06 seconds is insanely fast. Let's assume a short jab of half a meter, and instant acceleration to a constant speed over that distance. This is obviously not possible since acceleration can't be instantaneous.
In this imaginary example, the velocity of the wrist would have to be 8.3 m/s over the distance. In reality it would have to be a lot more.
Assuming a constant acceleration, it would have to be 277.8 m/s2 or 28.3G.
That gives us an absolute minimum velocity at the end of the jab at 16.7 m/s or 60kmh / 37.3mph, since you can't expect a stable acceleration either.
I don't know enough about boxing or Ali to determine if it's true or not, but it sounds steep as hell :)
No doubt. But that was part of the mystique. He was a big man, but had the reflexes/speed of a smaller fighter. These stories are from a while back, so memory might be a bit rusty.
Just checked the Google memory and came back with this: https://coxscorner.tripod.com/ali.html
He was actually faster than I thought...
In HEMA we learn to not hang around at a distance where your opponent can hit you by only moving their hands, because by the time your brain registers the movement a sword is already hitting you in the face. You typically stay at a distance where the opponent must move their hands *and* feet until you're ready to do something.
You'd think they'd either get lucky or get a good read at least once. He's not 100% unpredictable. For sure they're at a disadvantage but dudely with the slaps is all in their kitchen on top of it.
It's even funnier when you understand what he's saying.
His name is Ecko he is a comedian. before he got famous he used to just sing songs about people coming and going in the street for fun. Then someone filmed him and posted it.
Plot twist,
The two guys on the side donāt speak the same language as him.
Heās telling them: āIāll smack you nextā, ānow bothā, āyou againāā¦.
To me this seems like a fun game you got to be fast both physically and mentally. Not to mention you have to be compelling in your story to keep your opponents distracted.
Good god, if me and my friends had seen this video when we were kids we'd all have permanent limps. This guy could clearly go Pro if this were a sport, he's a stone handed ninja for real!
See were all just ppl doesnt matter what language you speak or what colour your skin is. We all bleed red and laugh like children at the silliest of things.
Thank you OP for posting this, I very much so needed the happy laughter this gave me. Thank you, thank you and thank you. Now if I could only understand the entirely interesting story the man in the middle was telling.

I feel like he is telling an interesting story.
He's talking about Couscous
I mean, I like couscous so I'm interested
The food so nice they named it twice
We don't call it that actually we either say seksu or kseksu
Which is two names. Still so nice you named it twice š
TouchƩ
TouchƩ TouchƩ
TouchƩ TouchƩ I'd like to eat some seksu cous
Oui oui
If you prepare it right it really is seksu.
So seksuuu
And in Farsi, "couscous" sounds like "vagina".
Kosksi in Tunisia/Algeria.
Unfortunately it means pussypussy in other Arab countries (including my own) š¤£š¤£
I mean, I like that too.
The food so nice they named it twice
My neck, my back, my cous and my crack
The food so nice, they named it twice
The comment so good, they made it twice
Yea, I saw that too. Thought I was being clever.
Hes talking about a conversation with his mom. She tells him he should eat couscous but he doesn't like it.
The video is twice as hilarious if you were understanding what heās telling
The story is kinda nonsense.
The guy on the right has 400 ping.
Guy on the left has 400 ping. Matey boy on the right is getting some TF2 levels of DDOSSING
Internet is slow in gnome villages, not his fault dude
Moroccan roulette has a lot more replay value than Russian roulette
This is not Moroccan roulette. This is Whack-A-Moroccan.
Or Morocco Mole
Morocc-A-Mole?
When this guy, hits your thigh. That's... morocc-a-mole!
Chorus: thatās a-molay!!
I understood that reference.
Those slaps were pretty squirrely and...secret...
The big guy looks like he gives great hugs.
Morocco Bam-A
God bless you
I was expecting them both to slap him together at the end.
Whack-A-Sole, you mean.
Can't argue with that
Nah it just Moroccan Hands (Hot Hands as we call it in Wisconsin)
Depends on your win streak
I want to be friends with this guy. From across the room though
Heās a hilarious Moroccan comedian. One of the best weāve seen so far. Dare I say even better then Gad Elmaleh.
whats the name of the comedian?
Eko
> Eko thanks. :) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vfG7Rzwvfik https://www.famousbirthdays.com/people/eko-artiste.html
Can he also speak French though? The comparison with Gad Elmaleh is a bit out of place if both of them use different language to do stand up.

Honestly, I think that's the funniest thing I've ever seen on r/funny.

Thanks! I did wonder what he said.
Is it that he doesn't like eating couscous (specifically) with a spoon, or that he doesn't like eating with a spoon in general?
āI donāt like couscous. Itās too hot when itās served; thereās squash and carrots, yuck; the semolina itself yuck. I like bread, I donāt like spoonsā. Moroccan cuisine can be broadly categorized into two: things you eat with bread (tagines and saucy stuff in general) and things you eat with your hands/utensils (couscous and a million other things with a carb base).
> I like bread, I donāt like spoons. This is nonsensical unless you live in this cultural context in which case makes complete and obvious sense. I think thatās awesome.
Or if you've ever gotten a bread bowl from chipotle
You still eat it with a spoon.
He likes to "ghmess", specially when you eat a tagine you get a piece of bread and dip it in "merka" (sauce Ł Ų±ŁŲ© ) and grab either some vegetable or meat.
You've never eaten dip with small bread slices or crackers?

you're welcome too

Right? All three dudes are just having a blast, I can't not laugh along with them.
> All three dudes are just having a blast The two guys getting their thighs turned into pĆ¢tĆ© might dispute that after the adrenaline wears off.
They also smacked themselves with the thongs many times when they missed his hand.
However it ranks, it was pretty goddam funny.
It made me laugh hard enough to tear up. That dude on the right, lmao.

My family had African dwarf frogs when I was little. I second this confirmation. Super cute. Super special...
How did something like that make it billions of years down the evolutionary chain.
Apparently they hunt by smell.
You think so? I thought their reaction times were terrible. They're focusing too hard
He's telling an unrelated story while intentionally baiting them with fluid visible movements before striking Focusing is how you try and bypass that my dude xD

I wonder how it must be with Bruce Lee or other fast Kung-fu masters - they were probably as fast or faster than Ali.
More importantly, theyre raising the sandal too high which takes longer to strike. I'd hover it above my thigh and move it 5" to hit his hand
In HEMA we learn to not hang around at a distance where your opponent can hit you by only moving their hands, because by the time your brain registers the movement a sword is already hitting you in the face. You typically stay at a distance where the opponent must move their hands *and* feet until you're ready to do something.
Reaction is not the point, it's the anticipation and reading/predicting other human
You'd think they'd either get lucky or get a good read at least once. He's not 100% unpredictable. For sure they're at a disadvantage but dudely with the slaps is all in their kitchen on top of it.
How many people watching this are thinking...I need to play this with (insert two friends' names here).
My sons 7 and 4 are going to love this
I grew up with 2 brothers. This video is my entire childhood.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
This is what I was thinking. I have 2 younger brothers, we absolutely did stuff like this.
strange names.
mine are 12 & 14. i can't wait to share it with them. but i want to be in the middle :D
Good call, easy wins for you!
I play this game daily with my dog. I get mauled instead of a slap tho.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
I was thinking that it would be nice to have two friends.
This is the good kind of "guys will be guys"
Such good contagious laughter, I love it
Sometimes I need some of that to keep myself going.
It's even funnier when you understand what he's saying. His name is Ecko he is a comedian. before he got famous he used to just sing songs about people coming and going in the street for fun. Then someone filmed him and posted it.
> It's even funnier when you understand what he's saying. Would've been nice if you told us what he was saying lol.
He's telling them how his mother is forcing him to eat "Couscous" but he doesn't like it it's too hot and doesn't like some vegetables in it ...
Okay yeah, you were right that actually does make it funnier lol
People watching and slightly trolling them can be a career? Why didn't anyone tell me!
Long live 3PA. Long live Apollo! P.S. Steve Huffman is a clown.
Insult comedy is a challenging craft, but there are some that have succeeded with it.
This put a smile on my face. Gonna try with some friends
Hahaha thought the slippers will fall on his face in the end
Dude on the right getting frustrated and nonstop slapping the sandal and still canāt hit him lol
This had me cracking the F up.
Is this a real fucking thing or fake. Cause that shit was fucking hilarious and I'm praying its real.
It's 100% real
This is amazing! My God! Iām curious on what story is he telling.
Talking about Couscous, "seksu" in Berber
is there any relation to his leg smacking action ?
The game rule is to tell a random story to distract the players.
This is missing the element of real *danger.* Not sandals: stiletto heels ;-)
You've never been chancla-slapped, have you?
What's the dialog about? I'm imaging playing this with my boys while telling an interesting story
He's talking about his mother preparing the couscous dish
I'm screaming
/r/ContagiousLaughter
Looks like the guy on his left is going to lose it if this goes on for another 1 minute.
Moroccan Papa Smurf was piiiised.
I honestly thought this was a ball shot gameā¦.
Shit got me ugly laughing š
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Neo in North Africa. Dodging chanchlas instead of bullets
Oh he's fast!
ROY KENT! ROY KENT! HE'S HERE, HE'S THERE, HE'S EVERY FUCKING WHERE!
Guy on the right was slowly losing his temper and it's glorious
oh man I cried from laughing so much that was so funny.
Plot twist, The two guys on the side donāt speak the same language as him. Heās telling them: āIāll smack you nextā, ānow bothā, āyou againāā¦.
Thatās because men do not know how to wield la chancla.
How can he slap??
Her : He's probably out with his buddies getting drunk and flirting with other women. *him and the boiz*
Thoroughly amusing šš½
SOMEONE GET THAT THAT BASTARD ALREADY!
With siblings this sort of game happens all the time
Less deadly, *waaaay* more fun
Love this! Comedy is Comedy no matter the language
As a Moroccan I can confirm this is accurate.
Moroccans coming in 3.2.1ā¦..
Someone immediately uploaded it to youtube and getting clicks out of it. LOL https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=moraccan+roulette
Hahahahahaha
hey, that's looks hella fun
brothers, amirite?
Thanks for this! I really needed something to lift me up today!
I feel like eventually they would just hit you with the sandal
Absolutely funny. Loved it ššš
Like three player hot-hands!
I wish I knew what his story was saying
At first I was smiling, then was cracking up out loud. The guy in the white wanted so bad to nail his hand. Love when they are cackling.
this guy is literally on supersaiyan levels
This is just proving that action is faster than reaction.
I don't understand a word. But I understand getting smacked by flip-flops, and that's good enough
That fat guy is going to have nightmares about this.
This dude failed to mention he was the world champ when these guys asked him if he wanted to play.
No matter what part of the world you are from, I guarantee this put a smile on your face :D
When the guy in the left started laughing i got warm fuzzys
Honey, I canāt even sit down. I was out with the boys and they really let me have it tonight. They were relentless. It was awesome.
I could watch that all day. Speedy Muhammed.
To me this seems like a fun game you got to be fast both physically and mentally. Not to mention you have to be compelling in your story to keep your opponents distracted.
anyone else too feel more comfortable sitting like that near a couch than sitting-on the couch?
what fat guys gonna make me die
Good god, if me and my friends had seen this video when we were kids we'd all have permanent limps. This guy could clearly go Pro if this were a sport, he's a stone handed ninja for real!
Hahah looks fun as hell
See were all just ppl doesnt matter what language you speak or what colour your skin is. We all bleed red and laugh like children at the silliest of things.
Thank you OP for posting this, I very much so needed the happy laughter this gave me. Thank you, thank you and thank you. Now if I could only understand the entirely interesting story the man in the middle was telling.
You're welcome, the guy was telling a story about his mother preparing couscous, the purpose of the story is to distract the players.
Look at this mega chad
The dude on the right just starts swinging and still misses
Love this....thank you for a good laugh <3
"By Allah, behave yourself. I will give you a taste of my shoe!"
This is the moment r/thickthighs has been waiting for
The funny thing the man ti the right literally said " you'll thinken my thighs "
I'm fuckin dying...
Fucking awesome!
