...And thus Dr. Evil gave up on his bodybuilding dreams and turned to a life of crime.

[–]Pwnzu_Sauce 65 points66 points ago

Context? How does this situation even happen?

[–]Chromes 115 points116 points ago

There are no standards for most amateur shows. Anyone who pays the entrance fee can go up there. This is either a serious case of delusion or every so often someone gets up there to mock bodybuilding.

For anyone curious of how this can happen: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aMXfcgOaDlw&feature=player_embedded

[–]AxeManActual 1 point2 points ago

I get the point the guy who made the video was making, that his "sport" is degrading itself with low standards. But maybe he should make a video that does a better job than making fun of one mentally challenged guy.

[–]Smokyo7 40 points41 points ago

Ah making fun of the mentally challenged. Classic.

[–]IamlegendAMA 14 points15 points ago

[–]pgan91 28 points29 points ago

I see it less as making fun of the mentally challenged, but more giving an explanation of why we see these things in bodybuilding contests. The narrator seemed to attempt to appear as impartial as possible.

[–]Smokyo7 11 points12 points ago

I think it could have focused on more then one individual who clearly has a mental handicap.

[–]bloopeeriod 0 points1 point ago

more then one individual

Then again, surely this (than) would be better than that (then) !

[–]EBM22 37 points38 points ago

Chill with the Swolehate

[–]waaaghbosss 13 points14 points ago

Indeed, no need for Swolesecution, we're all friends here.

[–]sprucenoose 5 points6 points ago

The interviewer really wasn't making fun of him, he dealt with him pretty reasonably. It was more to point out that such a situation should not happen in the first place with some sort of qualification, like any other sport.

[–]Smokyo7 1 point2 points ago

I understand that, but I think there could have been better examples put forward.

[–]Barksley 1 point2 points ago

It probably has more to do with the fact that this guy was the most clearly unqualified, whilst also giving him an interview to put in the video.

[–]queenofshiva 0 points1 point ago

swolehate

[–]RapistNextDoor 1 point2 points ago

We are not all simply swole of body. Many of us are swole of mind as well.

[–]bluegrassjams 0 points1 point ago

gravity bong = mind swole2?

[–]afriendlysociopath 4 points5 points ago

The thought of someone (not mentally challenged) getting up there for a competition to mock bodybuilding, without ever betraying the fact they were doing it for a laugh, makes me really, really happy.

[–]LaughingFlame 0 points1 point ago

Is that not remi galliard?

[–]MBSquared 0 points1 point ago

Remi did a skit on that once.

[–]evileinsteinamerica 0 points1 point ago

So why is the tan a requirement? The shaving I understand, but why tanning?

[–]doodoodoodoodoodoo 1 point2 points ago

Increases contrast and definition of muscle striation.

[–]cuddlyogre 2 points3 points ago

At least they're all good sports about it.

[–]tartarsauce101 1 point2 points ago

I believe this was an episode of that mtv show 'made' or whatever its called where random kids want to do something that they suck at, but they get a professional to teach them, then they try and compete

[–]Cole7rain 7 points8 points ago

LOL, forgot about this episode.

You know relative to real body builders he's obviously nowhere close, but he's actually in decent shape.

[–]tyrico -2 points-1 points ago

I was gonna post this if someone else didn't

[–]sneezlehose 20 points21 points ago

Not a very good way to pick up girls at the gym, eh?

[–]oc_dude 23 points24 points ago

naw, he did great picking up girls .... setting them down on the other hand

Are YOU the mascot for the competition or something? Do we have beef already dude?

Glad somebody got it I was starting to get worried!

O man I'm so sorry. I always forget whether its slip or boxer day too.

[–]bridget1989 69 points70 points ago

Pasty white boy is the only one I'd ever go on a date with, because I'd be too afraid the others would get orange on my clean white sheets.

Edit: Joke. Mother effing joke.

[–]k3mck 9 points10 points ago

Wow. People took that way too seriously.

[–]bridget1989 7 points8 points ago

Lol, I know, and I was downvoted into oblivion at first. I never said a thing about the muscles. Touchy, touchy.

[–]SayAllenthing 1 point2 points ago

Do it again

[–]exflashkick 23 points24 points ago

And a bunch of pasty thin white boys are now upvoting you to make themselves feel better about not working out.

[–]SlyFoxOfSeattle 11 points12 points ago

Notice how he/she said "pasty white boy" and you said "pasty thin white boys". He/she focused solely on the skin tone of the subjects, not their musculature.

I would say this is a joke on the tanning culture, not the exercise culture, although they are somewhat related.

[–]bridget1989 5 points6 points ago

Thanks, pasty white boys!

Love, a pasty white girl

[–]shadybrainfarm 0 points1 point ago

The replies to this comment just made my day. Also, I thought your original comment was funny.

[–]bridget1989 1 point2 points ago

Well thanks. And I really don't know what the damn fuss was about. I said nothing about the guys' figures. Overly sensitive boys all up in this thread.

[–]TragicOne 0 points1 point ago

Only one of them doesn't look like a natural tan though.

[–]LilithMaya -2 points-1 points ago

You should know that SubrеdditDrama has written about yоu.

Some Swole Acceptance drama in /r/funny. "How's all that weak privilege working out for you" starts a shitstorm.

As of now, your cоmment has a score of 62 (142|80). The submission has a score of 1743 (9257|7514).

Delusion.

[–]meatlikeproduct 20 points21 points ago

That's what I was thinking. It's either a joke or he's seriously deluded.. makes me think of the music/talent reality shows with all the contestants who think they're amazing but clearly have some type of mental problem.

[–]stanfan114 18 points19 points ago

There are people like this out there, i know Jason Genova has a youtube channel dedicated to his training for a Bodybuilder.

[–]NotMeerkats 4 points5 points ago

Relatively well in shape person here.

Where I go to work out, we try our hardest to make a point of being non-judgmental. Going to a gym earns you a vote of respect in a world where you could've sat on a couch with your evening.

Let us know if you need any help with something.

(I like to believe this is the case everywhere.)

[–]Fearlessbunny 0 points1 point ago

I'm not fat, nor thin, I don't look very athletic but I have a decent amount of muscle

The one thing i'm self conscious about is that I have to wear gloves. I feel so silly having gloves and sometimes pulling 2/3 of the weight someone else does that doesn't wear gloves, but the reason I use them is because my skin just tears apart if I train 3 times a week and after a few weeks I just can't properly train because my hands will hurt

I feel like just explaining myself to every guy there every single time I train :P

[–]sosborn1021 2 points3 points ago

Anyone who judges you based on the wearing of gloves is an idiot anyway so don't sweat it.

[–]NotMeerkats 1 point2 points ago

Well, I'm sitting here imagining what my thought process would be if I saw someone wearing gloves to lift, and I'm beginning to settle on 'I wouldn't really have noticed at all.'

That might not be a thing to be self conscious about after all. :P

[–]zen_monkey 0 points1 point ago

Unless you're shaking hands with everybody in the gym, nobody notices.

Don't shake hands with the gloves on. Do a fist bump, if you have to. Those gloves are of dicey hygiene.

[–]primalopoly 0 points1 point ago

That just means you have lovely hands. I get comments about my soft hands all the time. But I am a lady...

[–]TragicOne 0 points1 point ago

Lifting gloves are pretty normal as far as I am concerned, especially for the big lifts that heavily involve the hands like deads and bench.

[–]Westlund 1 point2 points ago

Look at the butt on that

[–]lebowskisweater 3 points4 points ago

Yeah, he must work out.

C'mon...you know his buddies at the pub offered him $50 if he did it. Or maybe they just offered him a night of drinking on the house.

[–]TheScrantonStrangler 0 points1 point ago

Yolo: you only lift once

[–]lompocmatt 1 point2 points ago

Nobody should ever be ashamed to work out at the gym, and nobody should judge other people at the gym. I mean, they are there to get fit/big so you can't really say anything bad about them like "You should lift" cause that's what they're fucking doing.

[–]pacman42 0 points1 point ago

Where do you buy those garments, anyway?

[–]jgrig123 0 points1 point ago

I feel the same way, but you have to start somewhere!

I'd rather fuck the normal looking guy than any of those greased up, spray-tanned, over-muscled toolboxes.

Just saying.

[–]nyknicksfann -1 points0 points ago

So are you the one all the way towards the right, or all the way towards the left?

[–]Honey_Dog 0 points1 point ago

The funny thing is nearly all of those guys have fake tans, except that one of course. I have a friend who has started to compete in bodybuilding competitions and the spray on tan places have a specific tan color just for bodybuilders that they get a few days before the competition. So without that most of them would be just as pale as the normal guy, because they're always indoors in the weight room no time for a real tan.

[–]vVvRickter 0 points1 point ago

This is kind of sad if this kid isn't trolling the competition. He may have worked extremely hard to prepare for this, and now he's being made fun of on the Internet.

[–]TheLastOfUsJoel 0 points1 point ago

So your the guy on the far left, right?

[–]sir_fappington 1 point2 points ago

The only time I judge is when I see someone with really terrible form showing others how to lift with equally terrible form. I saw some kids at the gym pulling 100 kg (225#) with the WORST form ever; it was dangerous. They were then "teaching" others around them how to do it as well...

[–]Bratva 0 points1 point ago

It's sad because that's not even that much weight, but you can still hurt yourself with it.

[–]DownvotingRoman_ 0 points1 point ago

I always find it mildly amusing in the changing room at the gym. There's all these ripped, statuesque blokes with expensive sport shakes in expensive sports bottle, big kits bags, special lifting shorts and expensive trainers. Then there's me, kinda overweight in an old Iron Maiden shirt, my Adidas Sambas and using an old Coke bottle for my water...

[–]perfectheat 0 points1 point ago

Made me think of this. With the lack of pixels in this video I would not call it NSFW.

[–]fightmeimjackedirl -2 points-1 points ago

it's funny cos when I'm at the gym I feel like this too, even though I have a better body than any of those body builders. WOOO muscle dysmorphia :D
