As nerdy as it is, this truly is a manly sport.

and they all died...

Why are they wearing renfaire outfits? I mean, if you're going to do jousting, fine, but take advantage of modern technology and wear some composite plastics or some shit, not 200 lbs. of metal. And side line guys, just wear some jeans and polo shirts. Stop dressing like a nerd and someone might actually take you seriously (no, they won't, but you could pretend).

- 1 for the Diddy/Page monstrosity. Uh-huh, yeah, uh-huh.

Picture it. You're there. In front of people. And you're jousting.

There's no spin to put on that. Just revel in it.


tmavomodry - 2010-07-14

I understand why the jousters are wearing "traditional" armor and stuff, but why are the handlers wearing Renn Faire clothes?


glasseye - 2010-10-19

Because modern plastics don't work.

Mass kicks ass.


glasseye - 2010-10-19

And 200 lbs of armour? Please, that's just ridiculous.


EvilHomer - 2013-01-27

IT'S NOT TWO HUNDRED POUNDS OF ARMOR.

Sorry, I know cheese is long dead, but medieval tournament armor weighed upwards of a mere sixty pounds, and was both lighter (per area of coverage) and better distributed than modern composite body armor!!!!!!!

!

Doing things people only came up with because they hadn't invented tv yet...on tv.


FABIO - 2010-07-14

All other sports came out in the 50s.


frau_eva - 2010-07-14

The Knight of Feather Boas is unexpectedly kicking lots of ass.


Doomstein - 2010-07-14

That may be one of the three chick knights on the roster. If so that'd be awesome.


Lurchi - 2010-07-14

What happens when a splinter goes through a horse's eye or rips open its belly?


Jeriko-1 - 2010-07-14

One of those knights got his penis destroyed in front of everyone.


Ursa_minor - 2010-07-14

I think you just answered your own question.


spikestoyiu - 2010-07-14

If you're going to make the claim that your stupid sport is extreme and full of bumps and bruises and cuts and shit, at least find a guy who has a bruise bigger than a dime to show off.


nidan - 2010-07-14

Boy, they really draw a crowd.


engrish muffin - 2010-07-14

3:15 - 3:20: Dude's arms gets mashed inside his armor by a warmblood hoof, fuckin brutal.


Hay Belly - 2010-07-14

Those horses are not warmbloods


memedumpster - 2010-07-14

I've watched jousting before, it's amazing how a lightweight, breakaway lance can hit just right and go right through armor. Amazing in that D: way.


charmlessman - 2010-07-14

Why isn't this happening all the time, everywhere?


duck&cover - 2010-07-14

When does Altaïr ibn-La'Ahad show up?
